I am looking for good utilities that document MS SQL table schema, indexes, layouts etc. I am currently looking at SQL auditor, but this product does not give me table schema or any kind of device revisions. I recently was given several SQL servers that have not been documented in any way.
thanks
ps SQL auditor gets a B+ in my book. Let me know what you think
Hi all,
I am going to upgrade a SQL server 6.5 box to SQL7.0. The 16 bit-client utilities are a prerequisite because there is a 16-bit application and requires some of the database libraries. My question is how does SQL7.0 deal with 16-bit application? In my case, could I upgrade the SQL6.5 box to SQL7.0?
I appreciate any input and help ahead,

Hi,
I heard from a guy that the client utilities (Enterprice Manager and Query Analyser) that are on the Sql Server 2000 CD can be fetched separatly from Microsoft and that they can be deployed with MSDE to a potential customer.
Is that correct?
And if it is, where can I obtain those client apps?
TIA

shaded, I try reinstalling SQL utilities and then I try removing and still it won`t let me?
Help!!!
We are looking for utilities to help us manage DTS packages. Specifically to help us track changes in the packages in a fairly fine-grained fashion; several layers deeper than the version listing under package info, for example. Think of it as an object-oriented diff utility if you will, something that can report on changes in a package very specifically; for example, we need to know that step 4 of a package is a SQL widget and the text has changed between versions, and what the changes are. Converting the package to a VB project & versioning the source text doesn't work, for several reasons too complicated to state here.
Is there aything like this available? We would rather buy than build, but I haven't seen anything like this yet. If anyone has experience with such a utility I would appreciate knowing about this. Thanks.

Folks,I work on a system which is growing rapidly, with the number oftransactions we process growing on a daily basis. While this is goodnews or the business, maintenance is starting to become an issue as thedatabase is the backend for a website which cannot be down for alengthy period of time.While I do defrag the indexes, periodically the indexes do need to berebuilt. When this happens, the process locks pages and transactionsstart getting bounced out.Are their any third party utilities which will rebuild an indexwithout this locking occuring? Any help in pointing me in the rightdirection would be appreciated.

Can I install the client utilities for Microsoft SQL versions 6.5 and 2000 in the same machine?
Please, provide me with any information or links in this matter.
I have written a utility that checks our stored procedures forpotentially incorrect code (eg = null as opposed to is null, unusedvariables/parameters etc). It also ensures that parameters/variablesetc match our naming conventions and data types/sizes are the sames asthe corresponding type in the database (if appropriate)Are there any other utilities that do this sort of thing?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have large stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 that often get updated. Sometimes it is very difficult to recognize how one change could impact the overall results. I would like to have some sample input that I could test during changes and see it compare the data results before & after my changes. This would help me quickly identify if the results are fine to pass through.
So basically I would like an easy way to compare the results of 2 stored procedures. Any suggestions or utilites that would help me do this?
Hallo,
I find the CLR integration very handy and I would like to use it in the proper way but I need some helps because is not easy to find "best practice" programming info.
This is what I have to do: from a "period" coming from the DB I have to compute start/End date and save them in the DB.
The computation involves regular expression and several functions that makes several calculations on date type variable.
I have created my UserDefinedFunction class that contains the TV function to return a row with 2 fields (startdate,enddate).
Now my question is: what is the base place to define my utilities functions that perform the computation?
In the same class or it is better to add a new class?
For example I have created a module that contains all the Regular expressions patterns.
Any help is appreciated!
Thankx

I'd like to go through and document the databases I'm responsible for...it's probably a good practice and I'm sure there a several approaches to doing so.
Anybody have comments, recommendations, or possibly a nice word template that links everything up?
Thanks for the input.

Hallo !
Right now I am looking for the query-code to delete a table (not only the rows, but all of it). Somebody could give me the code?
In general I am always looking for a place on the web, where all sql-server 2005 (express) query-functions are explained. Somebody knows the right place?
Thank you very much!

Can anyone advise me on what they regard as the best SQL Server documentation tool. I am currently looking at Redgate and ApexSQL products. Do any of you have experience with these or others? I need one that will document 2000 and 2005 databases.
Thanks.
I am documenting a database.
When I view dependencies on a table I can see a view- so I go to views and copy the information.
But when there is a trigger as a dependency- I cannot find where to go to view it.
Are triggers within stored procedures somewhere? Or do they have their own separate place somewhere?
As you can see- I don’t know much about SQL…
Thanks
The documentation saysISNUMERIC returns 1 when the input expression evaluates to a validinteger, floating point number, money or decimal type; otherwise itreturns 0. A return value of 1 guarantees that expression can beconverted to one of these numeric types.(Cut and pasted from books online)Yet the following, one of many, example shows this is not true.select isnumeric(char(9))select convert(int, char(9))-----------1(1 row(s) affected)Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Syntax error converting the varchar value '' to a column of data typeint.So, besides filtering every possible invalid character, how do youconvert dirty values without error. I am not concerned that I may loosepossibly valid values or convert suspect strings to 0 (zero). I justwant to run without raising an error

According to the book I am reading at the moment, there's supposed to be an SSIS documentation that ships with the product. I had the software installed by the IT guys but nothing with it apart from the books on line.
Does any one know of specific documentation on this?
