I have been using handle.exe to expose the rotten processes which prevent my maintenance plans from deleting old database backup files. I would like to find the same functionality of handle.exe which would allow me to call it from t-sql and return the results without writing text files.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am looking for a tool that is similar to SQL Impact (Quest). Quest has discontinued the tool.
This tool should be able to detect all database object dependencies for SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle. The objects should include tables, views, stored procedures, indexes and other objects. This should also detect DB object dependencies in front end applications as well.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

I'm using service broker and keep getting errors in the log even though everythig is working as expected
SQL Server 2005
Two databases
Two end points - 1 in each database
Two stored procedures:
SP1 is activated when a message enters the sending queue. it insert a new row in a table
SP2 is activated when a response is sent from the receiving queue. it cleans up the sending queue.
I have a table with an update trigger
In that trigger, if the updted row meets a certain condition a dialogue is created and a message is sent to the sending queue.
I know that SP1 and SP2 are behaving properly because i get the expected result.
Sp1 is inserteding the expected data in the table
SP2 is cleaning up the sending queue.
In the Sql Server log however i'm getting errors on both of the stored procs.
error #1
The activated proc <SP 1 Name> running on queue Applications.dbo.ffreceiverQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
error #2
The activated proc <SP 2 Name> running on queue ADAPT_APP.dbo.ffsenderQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
I would appreceiate anybody's help into why i'm getting this. have i set up the stored procs in correctly?
i can provide code of the stored procs if that helps.
thanks.
Hey Gurus,
I have a problem on getting the sql statement which will group similar column name and sum their number together(another column).
A million thanks in advance.
is it possible to change the settings on this tool. i want to have it so that it does not time out at all? or is that possible??

We have implemented our service broker architecture using conversation handle reuse per MS/Remus's recommendations. We have all of the sudden started receiving the conversation handle not found errors in the sql log every hour or so (which makes perfect sense considering the dialog timer is set for 1 hour). My question is...is this expected behavior when you have employed conversation recycling? Should you expect to see these messages pop up every hour, but the logic in the queuing proc says to retry after deleting from your conversation handle table so the messages is enqueued as expected?
Second question...i think i know why we were not receiving these errors before and wanted to confirm this theory as well. In the queuing proc I was not initializing the variable @Counter to 0 so when it came down to the retry logic it could not add 1 to null so was never entering that part of the code...I am guessing with this set up it would actually output the error to the application calling the queueing proc and NOT into the SQL error logs...is this a correct assumption?
I have attached an example of one of the queuing procs below:
Code Block
DECLARE @conversationHandle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@err int,
@counter int,
@DialogTimeOut int,
@Message nvarchar(max),
@SendType int,
@ConversationID uniqueidentifier
select @Counter = 0 -- THIS PART VERY IMPORTANT LOL :)
select @DialogTimeOut = Value
from dbo.tConfiguration with (nolock)
where keyvalue = 'ConversationEndpoints' and subvalue = 'DeleteAfterSec'
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
-- Lookup the current SPIDs handle
SELECT @conversationHandle = [handle] FROM tConversationSPID with (nolock)
WHERE spid = @@SPID and messagetype = 'TestQueueMsg';
IF @conversationHandle IS NULL
BEGIN
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [InitiatorQueue_SER]
TO SERVICE 'ReceiveTestQueue_SER'
ON CONTRACT [TestQueueMsg_CON]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER ( @conversationHandle )
TIMEOUT = @DialogTimeOut
-- insert the conversation in the association table
INSERT INTO tConversationSPID
([spid], MessageType,[handle])
VALUES
(@@SPID, 'TestQueueMsg', @conversationHandle);
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
ELSE IF @conversationHandle IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
SELECT @err = @@ERROR;
-- if succeeded, exit the loop now
IF (@err = 0)
BREAK;
SELECT @counter = @counter + 1;
IF @counter > 10
BEGIN
-- Refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx for severity levels
EXEC spLogMessageQueue 20002, 8, 'Failed to SEND on a conversation for more than 10 times. Error %i.'
BREAK;
END
-- We tried on the said conversation, but failed
-- remove the record from the association table, then
-- let the loop try again
DELETE FROM tConversationSPID
WHERE [spid] = @@SPID;
SELECT @conversationHandle = NULL;
END;
I have two SQL Server 2000 (one is localhost, one is remote with VPN IP 192.168.5.4).
I can select * from [192.168.5.4].db.dbo.test but I can't exec [192.168.5.4].db..spAdd in localhost.
These select and sp is OK for 1 or 2 week without any problem,but it didn't work one day.
Can some one explain why?
Hi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

I have a function that uses the following statement in it
SELECT src_terrier.Areacode, src_terrier.siteref, src_terrier.estatename, src_terrier.Securitised, src_terrier.unitref, src_terrier.unittype,
src_terrier.unittype_count, src_terrier.tenantname, src_terrier.tenantstatus, src_terrier.tenantstatus_count, src_terrier.unitstatus,
src_terrier.unitstatus_count, src_terrier.floortotal, src_terrier.floortotocc, src_terrier.initialvacarea, src_terrier.initialvacnet, src_terrier.TotalRent,
src_terrier.NetRent, src_terrier.FinalRtLsincSC, src_terrier.ErvTot, src_terrier.tenancyterm, src_terrier.landact, src_terrier.datadate,
src_div_mgr.div_mgr, src_portfolio_mgr.portfolio_mgr, src_centre_list.propcat, src_tbl_rental.budgeted_net_rent,
src_tbl_rental.budgeted_occupancy
FROM src_terrier INNER JOIN
src_centre_list ON src_terrier.siteref = src_centre_list.Site_Ref AND src_terrier.Areacode = src_centre_list.Division INNER JOIN
src_div_mgr ON src_centre_list.Division = src_div_mgr.division INNER JOIN
src_portfolio_mgr ON src_centre_list.Portfolio_no = src_portfolio_mgr.portfolio_no LEFT OUTER JOIN
src_tbl_rental ON src_terrier.siteref = src_tbl_rental.site_ref
WHERE (src_terrier.datadate = @dt_src_date) AND
(src_terrier.Areacode = @chr_div) AND
(src_centre_list.Portfolio_no = @vch_portfolio_no) AND
(src_centre_list.propcat = @vch_prop_cat) AND
(src_tbl_rental.site_ref = src_terrier.siteref)
The problem I have is that the 'src_terrier.datadate' is passed through as mm/dd/yyyy (which I do actually want to change to dd/mm/yyyy as that is how the data is stored) however, the src_date within the table src_tbl_rental is only set to 01/mm/yyyy. When I put an inner join on the date element it obviously does not find it as the sample data I am using is as follows
src_terrier = 28/04/2006 and src_tbl_rental is 01/04/2006. Therefore if I pass the same parameter value through the dates are not the same and I get no data at all.
How can I specify that for the purposes of the src_tbl_rental element of the select query, that I only want it to match the mm/yyyy part of the src_date.
Therefore if some passes in
28/04.2006 it will get the records from the terrier table that match that date, and only the records from rental that match the 04/2006 part of the date.
Anybody confused by that , cause I am!

hello there.
is there any case for getting the directory/file structure on the ReportServer?
something similar to "DirectoryInfo".
i'm using the webservice
best would be putting the url (e.g. "http://localhos/reportserver/reportgroup1") to a function and get at least an array of filenames in this folder back.
is there any way to solve this?

I'm constructing a single string of several counts with concatenated labels using SQL and want to not show zeros (or their labels). Is there a function within an SQL statement that will let me do this? ISNULL() sort of does this, but I really need to test for zero instead of NULL to eliminate noise data from the string.

thanks for all hints.
I have three fields in a table say [F1, F2 & F3]. I need to fetch anyone of these three fields which has the maximum value between them.

Folks, i have to create four fields in every user table within my database:
CREATED_BY VARCHAR(25), CREATED_DATE [DATETIME], MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR(25), MODIFIED_DATE [DATETIME]
There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!
declare @name VARCHAR (50)
declare cur cursor
fast_forward
for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%'
open cur
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
FETCH NEXT
FROM cur
INTO @name
IF @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_date [DATETIME]
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_date [DATETIME]
END
ELSE
BREAK
END
DEALLOCATE cur
I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.
Howdy!
finding is queries to find duplicate data.Basically I have a picklist table in a database and I have discovered that there are what looks like duplicate data (because the name is the same) but there is a different number on the end, as you can see from an example below.
NO, ENTRY
24, John Doe|26|05768
24, John Doe|26|5768
Do you know if there is a sql query that can be ran against this table that will look through the ENTRY column and select fields that are similar and not duplicates (duplicates can't exist due to PK constraints)
I have the below in a table - TABLEA
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,240.0
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,105.0
And I am trying to insert this into another table TABLEB but it wont allow as I am getting a duplicates error because of the unique Indexing on the table.
Ref,Date,Time,Code
Ideally if I could run a query on TABLEA so that it would merge and sum the minutes where REF,Date,TIME,CODE are the same.
i.e., the above would become
Ref , Date , TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,345.0
Is this possible?
Another option that would work for me is the TIME column info isnt required to remain at 541.
If there was a count increment on the rows it would allow the import to rum.
ie if the above became
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 1,BASIC,240.0
01117,2012-01-02 ,2BASIC,105.0
It would also import correctly.
The first option is which I would prefer.
Table One is an older database and has the column employee id, which would always consist of first letter of the last name an underscore and a numeric value. So for example, data looks like
employeeID
R_12345678
S_5555555
T_777777
U_7777
Our new data structure simply removed the letter & underscore.
employeeID
12345678
5555555
777777
7777
Now my question is, how could I join on oldDB.employeeID to newDB.employeeID since the data is very similar, but not exactly the same?
Im trying this simple query, where if a book has the same ID but different names it should be shown in one row and not two...
Now it is showing
- 1 AuthorDude
- 1 AuthorGirl
- 2 Authorblabla
While it should show
- 1 AuthorDude, AuthorGirl
- 2 Authorblabla
SELECT a.book_id, b.Name
from BOOK_SALES a
left outer join
(
select Book_id,is_primary,
STUFF((select ', ' + Name from BOOK_CONTRIBUTOR B where B.BOOK_ID = A.BOOK_ID
for xml path('')),1,1,'') Name
from BOOK_CONTRIBUTOR A
group by Book_id,IS_PRIMARY
) b on a.BOOK_ID = b.BOOK_ID
When i do a inner join, it would just show many Book_ID`s, but with the authors combined.
[URL] ....
i like to write a sql query to find out similar columns in different tables.
i have something like this. but my logic is wrong.
select *
from information_schema.columns a
join information_schema.columns b
on a.column_name = b.column_name
and a.table_name <> b.table_name

I did a successful Insert to a SQL Server today in .NET VS2005.
But before I insert I figure I better make sure the part does not allready exist in the table.
Can a check the command to determine if it has a boolan value of False and if so to INSERT as before? Dim myCommand As New SqlClient.SqlCommand
myCommand.CommandText = "Select PartNumber From Pricing Where PartNumber = '" & var0 & "'"
'myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Pricing (PartNumber, ListPrice, PartDescription, ProductClassCode, ProductClassDescription, ProductFamilyCode, ProductFamilyDescription, ProductLineCode, ProductLineDescription) VALUES('" & var0 & "', " & var1 & ", '" & var2 & "', '" & var3 & "', '" & var4 & "', " & var5 & ", '" & var6 & "', '" & var7 & "', '" & var8 & "')"

I would like to write a fun or stored procedure to do some operation. It require me to know that what category is currently belong to certain people(people_table: category_table1 to Many)However, when i use the select statement in stored proc, it return a set of result, not a scalar , therefore, i cannot use the variable to hold it. In addition, there are no array in SQL server.Question:1. Is there any way to hold the collection of result(like array)?2. Also, how to determine to use fun or stored procedure?(Since a integer is need to return by them)Thx
