MSSQL Not Coming Up Thinking It Is Evaluation Copy
Nov 1, 1999
Hi,
Our front-end GUI person changed the system date one month back to avoid the expiration of the Servelet Exec software. After rebooting the system, MSSQL refuses to come up and the errorlog has the following message: "The evaluation period has expired". The version we had was never an evaluation version!
What's making it think that and is there a way to correct the situation?
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nishi

hello,
I was storing data on sql server with license for 60 days. before license expired I did:
in enterprise man. selected DB, right click, selected All Tasks,
selected Backup. Backed up to MSSQL7BACKUP DIR using same name.
then went to other machine installed sql server and from the enterprise manager did a restore DB with "restore on existing DB" option
the problem is that I try to give a user rights to the DB and I get error message: error 15023 user or role already in DB
any hints,
thanks

I've downloaded the enterprise evaluation copy of sql server 2005, patched it to sp2. I've fired up visual studio 2005 and opened a connection to my local database okay, (I've used windows authenication - though I'm not sure how to check whether I've got SA rights..).
When I open a stored procedure up, the breakpoints options are greyed out.
When I look in control panel/add programs, the version of Visual Studio is "Premier Partner Edition - ENU", if I look in the about of vs: it has installed products of sql server analysis services, integration services and reporting services
Looking on the web it says that I need visual studio 2005 professional to be able to debug sp's but on the features list for Premier Partner Edition, under the debug section it says "SQL"
Can anyone shed some light on this? Or is it the case that the eval copy of sql server 2005 ships with a version of vs2005 that precludes sp debugging !!!

I can't deploy reports on Visual Studio2005 anymore. I say "anymore", because a few months ago, this went well.
After building correctly, VS Studio asks for a Login for Reporting Services via a popup window. I don't know what to enter...
In IIS ( version 5.1) , I configured Reports and ReportServer for integrated Windows Authentication.
In Reporting Services Configuration, I have the Windows Security set on Windows Account, with a username and password that I also use (withoud success) to deploy the reports from Visual Studio. Since the user is a domain user, I tried as login also the complete domain name : domainusername. Nothing helps, the popup "Login for Reporting Servies" appears again and again.
If I change the settings in IIS to allow for anonymous access ( machinenameIUSR_machinename), I get the error message that the permissions granted to that user are insufficient.
I also changed the Windows Service Identity into "Local System" and "Local Service"; with the same result.
In the Log file of Reporting Services, I also find following phrase :
"ReportingServicesService!resourceutilities...INFO: Evaluation copy:0 days left"
I don't know of there is a link between this and my problems
Can anyone help me in this ?

Please read the following statements. I got my expected results when I use the 3rd statement. How come second statement is giving me junk results.
First statement is just opposite of second and third statement,I believe.
First
-----
select table1.column1 from table1,table2 where table1.column1 =
table2.column1
select table1.column1 from table1 where column1 in (select column1
from table2)
Both results are same here.
The result is all the common rows.
Second
------
select table1.column1 from table1,table2 where table.column1 <> table2.column1
Third
------
select table1.column1 from table1 where column1 not in (select column1 from table2)
The result is

I don't know what Microsoft was trying to accomplish when they redid the way SQL 7 handles indexing, but as far as I'm concerned they failed badly. They just broke SQL Server, IMHO.
As a developer, I do not want to have to study rocket science just to get my queries to run fast. In SQL 6.5, if I wanted quick response on a join query, all I needed was an index on the fields I was joining on, in the join table. It worked, didn't have to mess with Profilers and Index Tuning Wizards, just load and go.
Now in 7, I might as well not bother. It's going to do what it wants to do regardless. Even if I use the Query Index Analyzer, and let it create the index it recommends, it still doesn't work. I'm sitting here watching queries I used to be able to run in seconds take 15, 20 minutes and longer.
It's time for the average guy to stand up to Microsoft's increasingly heavy hand and tell them to let us make the decisions on how we want to use our tools. Since 1995, they've been on a downhill slide as far as I'm concerned. Each new updgrade of VB, SQL Server, etc. is buggier and more of a hassle to work with than each previous version.
Enough's enough.

Imagine opening SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), drilling into adatabase, and seeing all objects with little lock symbols in front ofthem. That would be true SS integration.Maybe next version?I know about creating a project in SSMS and managing connections,queries, and misc there, but come on, that seems a far cry from what Ilong for.I searched for 3rd party tools and found SQLSourceSafe and Apex SQLTools. Does anyone have experience with those?-Tom.

Hi All,
I've just started at a new job that is a little bit of a step up from my old job. At my previous job I was responsible for 5 instances of SQL Server with about 30 databases. My new job has me (and a team of 3 other DBA's) responsible for 100+ instances. The backup schedule and process is a mess. I'm thinking about moving everything to Maintenance Plans (some 2000, some 2005). I've always scheduled individual jobs for each database previously and done index maintenance manually, but I'm kinda leaning toward Maintenance Plans just to simplify everything.
Anyone out there have any input on how and why they chose MP's over scheduling backups db by db? Or anyone out there choose not to use MP's for a particular reason? Input is greatly appreciated.

I just read the release notes for SQL 2005 SP2 CTP and the 'Select All' on multi-select parameters is coming back EXACTLY as it was in the first release. If this is not the case then I apologise for the rant and request that someone clarify the situation but otherwise ....
I had to change loads of reports because it was removed in SP1, now I'll have to change them again for SP2.
Please Microsoft, stop doing this to us!
At least make it a check box option somewhere. The reasons for it's removal in SP1 still exist, but it is a nice feature to have, so just make it configurable.
I will probably have to delay installing SP2 at various customer sites because it will make my parameter lists look stupid.
This is a shame because there are some useful updates in it.

I'm baffled by the results of the following query:
__________________________________________________ ______
select events.[report number], [microfilm number], [crash date]
into lowspeed
from events inner join vehicles
on events.[report number] = vehicles.[report number]
where [dummy record] = 'N'
and [estimated mph] between 1 and 10
and ([1st harmful event] = 01
or [2nd harmful event] = 01)
and [type of vehicle] in
('01','02','03','04','05','06','07','08','10','11' ,'12')
and [crash injury severity] = 5
select events.[report number], [microfilm number], [crash date]
into notlowspeed
from events inner join vehicles
on events.[report number] = vehicles.[report number]
where [dummy record] = 'N'
and [estimated mph] > 10
and ([1st harmful event] = 01
or [2nd harmful event] = 01)
and [type of vehicle] in
('01','02','03','04','05','06','07','08','10','11' ,'12')
and [crash injury severity] = 5
select distinct [report number], [microfilm number], [crash date]
into truelowspeed
from lowspeed where [report number] not in (select [report number] from
notlowspeed)
select [report number]
into pedtable
from pedestrians
select [report number],[microfilm number], [crash date]
as [Lowspeed Fatal Crashes - 1994]
from truelowspeed
where [report number] not in (select [report number] from pedtable)
drop table pedtable
drop table truelowspeed
drop table lowspeed
drop table notlowspeed
_______________________________________________
Let me explain what I'm trying to do.
In the first temp table "lowspeed," I'm trying to lump all crashes where a vehicle was doing between 1 and 10 mph.
In "notlowspeed," I'm setting up a table of crashes in which at least one vehicle was going over 10 mph.
By the third gyration, I'm trying to generate "truelowspeed;" which I thought would contain only crashes in which all of the criterion in the first two queries were satisfied and all of the vehicles involved in the crashes were doing between 1 and 10 mph (NO vehicles exceeding the 1 to 10 mph parameter).
The "pedtable" maneuver is simply to pull out any of these crashes in which a pedestrian was involved.
What I'm getting is a lot of crashes in which I have dummy records, several crashes in which one of the vehicles was going over 10 mph, and types of vehicles involved in the crash that should have been excluded by the criterion I specified.
Thoroughly stumped. Would be most grateful for any kind insight/advice.

I am currently reading through Itzik Ben-Gan's "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 High-Performance T-SQL using Windows Functions." In attempt to test the SUM OVER() function in SQL 2008 because that's what I've got. I do not currently have sample data (trying to generate it has become a major PITA), but I have some pseudocode.
My current code (actual production code) pulls a bunch of ITD (inception to date) contracts then calculates a certain dollar amount based on monthly changes. Not all contracts have values during a given month, so here's what I cobbled together a few months ago. (Per our finance team, these numbers ARE accurate).
WITH MonthlyVals AS
(SELECT ContractID, SUM(Col1 - (Col2 + Col3 + Col4 + Col5)) AS MyTotal
FROM MyTable
WHERE MyDate >= @ThisMonthStartDate AND MyDate <= @ThisMonthEndDate
AND StatementType IN (8,4,2)
[code]....
To test the totals, I also added a COMPUTE SUM(MyTotal) to the end of each query. (Yes, I know COMPUTE is deprecated. Just wanted a quick check.). The difference between the two bits of code was over 68k, with the SUM OVER() code coming up with a total higher than the CTE code. I know CTE code is correct for a fact. It went through extensive testing before getting put in Production. Is it the way I joined the table for the SUM OVER()? Or is it the use of PARITION BY?

Hi again,
How's everyone doing with 2005? I still feel like my heals are dragging a bit. The "knowledge" out there still seems a bit sparse. Am I right?
I'm about 1/5 the way through a BI book and decided the course will probably be necessary as well:
http://www.kimballgroup.com/html/kucourseMDWD.html
There seems to be a lot to come to grips with.
So that's all paid for.
It's been years since I've been on a course of any kind. Too busy working! What's the etiquette? Trousers and T-shirt? Tie? Sandles & three quarter lengths?
This particular course seems to cover the "general overall approach" - which I am pretty sure is a necesary part of what you need to be able to do. The book that is related to the course (which I have already bought) seems really helpful and valuable.
But I don't think it will cover the nitty gritty of SSIS - where most of the grunt work happens. They have another course for that. But I can't wait that long. You can spend your whole life just reading books!
Are all the new little things in 2005 SSIS just a little to specialised? A little too clever? Does it limit us? Or empower us? Can we use it to get the job done? Or will it be a case again of "clever workarounds" when we travel far down a road that we find out (when it's too late and we are committed) can't provide us with what we want. Is it really saving us time? Are we better off writing the scripts ourselves?
------------------------
Me: What do you want to know from your data warehouse?
Client: Err...Emm...Everything
Me: OK, that's great. That's all I need to know. I'll see you when it's done.

I've tried setting the "Process Binary as Character" setting to true on the data source. I've tried cast and convert statements in the queries. I've tried conversion steps... Am I missing something simple, or is it really this difficult to get text values pulled from DB2 as text?
I'm using Microsoft's OLE DB provider for DB2.
Anyone have experience with conversion problems pulling text from DB2 databases?
Thanks in advance...

Hello:
I see some packages in the MSDB folder in Mgmt. Studio that I cannot figure out where they are coming from. The SSIS project in BIDS does not contain them, I do not see it in the Deployment folder, nor do I see it in the destination folder to which the manifest file deploys the packages. Which folder location am I missing? Each time I delete them they keep reappearing when I deploy.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm having an issue where SSIS Variables window will not come up. The most i get is a gray bar that looks like it is supposed to hold the variables.
I've tried getting it to show by:
1) Menu --> SSIS --> Variables
2) Right Click --> Variables
3) Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Variables
The same thing seems to happen for "log events" in Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Log Events.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is anyone else having this problem?!?!?!

Program Descritpion: Our product allows our customers to enter their product catalogs into our ASP.NET pages and we save the data using SQL Server 2005. Customer use GridViews to edit their data and teh data is broken into manageable groupings (called Field Groups) stored as meta-data in SQL Server Tables. Then when a user wants to edit a set of data they choose the Field Group and we dynamically generate a data source and a gridview, bind them together, and our users update their data. A bit more complicated but that's teh gist.
Another thing they can do, and where our problem occurs, is they can print reports or do exports into excel using this data. Since there are so many fields, they use the Field Groups to select which fields they want included so everything needs to be built dynamcially, at runtime, using the Field Group meta-data. Essentially, I want my grid to have these 10 fields.
Problem:For the export we generate an XML data source using FOR XML in SQL Sprocs. The xml is pulled into a xmldatadocument, trasnformed with an xsl file into an Excel XML Spreadsheet. Our problem is that FOR XML is generating our XML real numbers in scientific format. The xsl "format-number" function does not recognize scientific format and returns NaN (not a number) instead of the value in my spreadsheet. If I leave it blank I get the scientific number but Excel doesn't format it correctly, the cell has an error tag that wants me to choose Number stored as text or convert to a number. I need it to show up on teh Excel form already formatted without that message.
I can't change the DataType of the field in SQL, too many other things depend on it and it needs to be a real. I can't use CONVERT(decimal,fieldName) in SQL because the SQL string is dynmically generated using Dynamic SQL and most of the fields are not real. When we build the Field List we just have field names, we can't check anything to add CONVERT functions to only real fields.
Is there any way to force the XML output to not be scientific for the entire document? Or another function in XSL I'm unaware of (pretty new to xsl)? Or perhaps something I can do in the XML Spreadsheet tags to force the conversion?

cmd.Parameters("@Segundo_nombre").Value = txtSecondName.Text.ToString --> suposing is null it brings an Error.
cmd.Parameters.Add(Apellido)
How can i manage this? I want to store this value if it is null or not.
Also i don't know how to assign a null value to a variable. I tried with
v_flag = check_selection.check_string(v_idioma)
If v_flag = 1 Then 'la variable posee el texto Seleccione
v_idioma = DBNull.Value
but it's not working.

Good Morning,
We have gone with the approach of always storing DateTime in UTC. We are adding validation code to throw exceptions if any client code passes a date in that is not DateTimeKind.UTC. However, our validation is being tripped when populating our entity objects from the database, as the DateTimeKind on the DateTime value from the data reader comes in as Unspecified.
Any suggestions? Just toUtc the data reader value?
Thanks in advance,
Derrick
