Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only table
that contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").
My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimal
size (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+
Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deleted
the table in order to recapture hard drive space.
NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantly
reduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)
size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.
What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?
i am using vb.net and ms sql server 2005 express.....what is the syntax for dropping a table if existsi have used this but it says incorrect syntax near if Dim cmda As New SqlCommand("drop table " + test + " if exists", New SqlConnection(strdb)) cmda.Connection.Open() cmda.ExecuteNonQuery() cmda.Connection.Close()any solutions???? plz only answer in vb.net and sql server express
What is the best way to drop a temp table if it exists? I am looking something similar to this: if exists (select top 1 * from #TableName) then drop #TableName else end
Here is the steps I should take... 1- Check for the log table and find run status ( there is a date field which tells the day run) 2- Lets say last day was 2008-05-15, So I have to check A1.DDDDMMYYY file exists in the folder for each day like A1.20080516,A1.20080517 and A1.20060518 ( until today) 3- if A1.20080516 text file exist then I have to move it to the table and same thing for other dates like if A1.20080517 exists I have to load it to table and so on
it looks like for each loop, first I have to get the last date and then I have to check the file exists for each date and if the date file exists then I have to load it into table...
Please tell me How can I do it. it looks complex looping...
I'm trying to drop indexes if they already exist then recreate them as needed, however, I'm getting an error if the index does not exist and I thought that's what the "IF Exists" statement was for.
syntax: IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysindexes WHERE name = 'idx_acct_no') DROP INDEX accounts.idx_acct_no go create index [idx_acct_no] ON [dbo].[accounts] ([acct_no]) go
Error when index does not exist: Server: Msg 3703, Level 11, State 7, Line 1 Cannot drop the index 'accounts.idx_acct_no', because it does not exist in the system catalog.
I have a database which above 6 gb data and i have droped all table in my database. I try to restore from log file but my database is set to simple backup and auto shrink so log file doesn't help anymore. I have used some software to recovery from log file too but useless. My only hope right now is mdf file. Please help me. How could i restore my mdf file to state before i droped tables. Thanks
Hi,I found this SQL in the news group to drop indexs in a table. I need ascript that will drop all indexes in all user tables of a givendatabase:DECLARE @indexName NVARCHAR(128)DECLARE @dropIndexSql NVARCHAR(4000)DECLARE tableIndexes CURSOR FORSELECT name FROM sysindexesWHERE id = OBJECT_ID(N'F_BI_Registration_Tracking_Summary')AND indid 0AND indid < 255AND INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, 'IsStatistics') = 0OPEN tableIndexesFETCH NEXT FROM tableIndexes INTO @indexNameWHILE @@fetch_status = 0BEGINSET @dropIndexSql = N' DROP INDEXF_BI_Registration_Tracking_Summary.' + @indexNameEXEC sp_executesql @dropIndexSqlFETCH NEXT FROM tableIndexes INTO @indexNameENDCLOSE tableIndexesDEALLOCATE tableIndexesTIARob
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1) begin select @errno = @errno | 1 end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE dbo.t1 EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration. Table Scan. Forward scan. Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1 SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01) WHERE f1 = @p1 ) SET ROWCOUNT 0
I am deploying programatically an Excel 2007 file to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Server. The problem is that if a file with the same name already exists, that file isn't replaced. I would like the opposite to happen. I'm using the following code:

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET. I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page. Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer. Cheers ~ J
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
I am going to use the BCP utility to export data from a table in a SQL Server 2000 database to .csv file, but I must determine if the file already exists. The BCP export code it going to be in a stored procedure and will be configured to run every two hours so I must have a way of checking if the file exists prior to executing the BCP instruction. If the file exists then no big deal just abort and two hours later it will try again, at some point the file will not exist and the export will export all the data since the last export - but normally this will happen every two hours; I just need to make sure that the "other peoples" utility has proccessed the file (and by definition deleted it).
It makes me no difference whether the best way to do this would be using a batch file that execute and returns true/false or a VBScript or if there really is a way to do it in TSQL. I just cannot seem to find any way.
I would like to look for .mdf i.e. databasename.mdf file and see if it exists. I would also like to do the same for other files such as databasename.ldf, etc. For each one of these files I do know their directories but would like to know how to check for that file in those related directories. Thanks
I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:
SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.] System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091
I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database: Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
Hi, I'm importing 10 csv files with a different name daily. If the file does not exists in a directory (which I have in variable) I want to write an error message, if it does I want to proceed to the for each loop. How do I do this? Any suggestions?
In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:
a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com
This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need. b) The WMI Event Task
There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work. c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method
I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach. I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs. Thanks! Kory
Previously same records exists in table having primary key and table having foreign key . we have faced 7 records were lost from primary key table but same record exists in foreign key table.
this works fine, but the problem is when sql server restarts I loose trace but trace-file remains. When I want to create new trace with the same parameters I receive Error = 0x80070050(File Exists) . Is there any way to reuse trace-file? Or to change trace's file path to indicate file already created?RegardsKonRi

I see file ID 2 identifying the log file. I've never done a restore like this - using copy_only and backing the database and log into separate .bak files, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.
I want execute my package when a set of files exists in a directory. What is the best way of doing this?
I have been successful in creating a WMI Event Watcher Task that executes when any file (the first file) is added to a directory. But I can not figure out the WQL for a specific file or set files.
What have you done with in SSIS to trigger the package?
I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. This would work easily if there were only one row. What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Should there be some type of looping?
