I have a table to which data is being imported via bcp. When I get this data there are some fields nvarchar that has some decimal, for instance 1098.000000 is always 6 zeros..What I want to achieve is to make the above number only 1098
So what I did was this:
LEFT (AMOUNT, LEN(AMOUNT)-7) AS AMOUNT
But i get an error saying invalid lenght parameter passed to the left or substring
Hello.
I have packages that must generate log errors dynamically including time of execution and the name of the task.
I make it changing the properties of the connection inserting two expressions.
1.-I alter the File Usage Type to 1 to generate this files.
2.- I alter the connection string as: @[User::myvariable] +"constant_description"+ time description+ +".txt"
The time description is :
(DT_STR,40,1252) DAY (GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) MONTH( GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) YEAR( GETDATE())+" + REPLACE( (DT_STR,10,1252) (DT_DBTIME) GETDATE(),":","_")
But it is not the problem
In those packages I have one connector for all the tasks and in execution time it creates one file for each of the tasks.
The problem is the way I insert in the filename the task name.
I have a pre-execute event handler in each task that modifies a string variable( myvariable) appending the task name. When I execute de package it works great but when I only execute a task, the program do not enter in the event and do not put the task’s name.
How can I put that name without using that handler? There is another handler can I use to do it that happens before the system generates the new file name and after pre-execute? Anyone knows another way to do this kind of things?
Hi, I have installed on my laptop SQL server 2005 Developer edition, I can change ANY of the settings of the SQL server and OS.
I am writing code with a team using continuous integration where the connection string is the following:
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=Secret;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
is there a way (create an alias,rename server, other?) to make my local dev SQL server accept the connection string above, as at the moment I have to rename the connection string every time before checking in code and after downloading the latest version from the code repository.
any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hello,
Today I ran a query from my ASP page that returned with an error message stating my command had timed out. Fine. I searched the forums (thank god for the internet), and added cmd.CommandTimeout = 120. Great! That solved my problem.
My question is that from everything I read, the command timeout is set to 30 seconds by default. Yet my query runs in 5 seconds or so with the property set, but wouldn't run at all without it. Is it possible my command timeout was set somewhere else to less than 30 seconds? It's almost as if the server THOUGHT it would take longer than 30 seconds, and gave up, before actually running the query (which has all needed indexes to make the query fast). I just don't understand why I was getting this error for what turns out to be a 5 second query. When I shorted the query to 4 seconds or so (reducing the date range for the report), it ran fine in 4 seconds without the timeout error. So basically, going to 5 seconds or more caused this error. Where are the other places that the CommandTimeout property might be set? On the SQL Express database itself? I didn't see any ASP.NET config properties addressing it. Is there somewhere else I can look?
Thanks!

Hello Folks,
I'm looking for the group's collective wisdom on the following issue, I'm sure many have been confronted with it.
I'm designing a db for a website that will utilize SQL Server 7. I have few tables that I think will grow very large row wise and that will be written to an read from frequently. I sense that I might be able to get better perfomance out of the system if I split many of these large tables up (row wise) into many smaller tables.
For example, The website that I'm working on has a "MailingAddresses" db table that contains the mailing addresses for the sites users (subscribers and other misc users - 1 record per user, anticipating 70,000+ users). Each user can update their record, and there will be frequent queries to the tables to get addresses for both internal admin use and for display on public webpages.
The website has five distinct sections that are in some sense like five distinct websites. Each user belongs to only one of these sections and they won't migrate between sections. Therefore I'm considering breaking up the one large "MailingAddresses" tables into five smaller tables, one for each section, i.e., "MAddressesSectionA", ..., "MAddressesSectionE".
These tables will have the same fields and constraints. Also of course there would be the same number of reads and writes in total with the five smaller tables as compared to that for the one big table. Also the combined size of the info in the five smaller tables would be the same as that for the one large table.
Though it's going to more of a pain to manage five tables versus one, I have a hunch it might be easier for the dbms to handle reads and writes with five smaller tables than with one large table...
...Of course this is true when queries are mainly respective to users from just one or two of the sections (as might be the case) - the big table then has the overhead of the address records for users in the other sections. BUT is there any benefit with the five smaller tables route when they are all frequently accessed??? Sure each select query has fewer records to go through, but with all five tables in play the dbms has to deal on average with the same amount of info as in the one big table.
What do you folks think, to divide or not to divide the big table(s) up row wise into smaller tables?
I guess the issue is summed up in this question: In general, can a dbms better handle in memory, and more quickly write to and query access - one BIG table with a+b+...+n records, or N smaller tables with a, b,...,n records respectively?
Thanks for the collective wisdom, - Jerry

View 1 Replies View RelatedI hope I can explain this somewhat coherantly. Here goes..
I have a products database. I want to select product details for items having distinct style codes. IE if there are 20 products that different from one another in some way, and 3 different style numbers throughout them, I want to end up with 3 products selected. I don't care which ones, as long as i have a sample product for each style.
I've attemped to use GROUP BY to do this, but it's not giving me what I want. I managed to get right number of products, but the query seems to have mixed and matched the fields together in an undesireable way. I guess this kinda makes sense, since providing aggregate functions for each of the extra fields is necessary.
SO THE QUESTION IS: How do I select (number of distinct styles) products, and still keep the records in tact as they should be?
Here is a sample...
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Min(team) as team, min(pict) as pict, min(colors) as colors, min(league) as league, min(product_description) as product_description, min(category) as category, min(subcategory) as subcategory, min(style) as style
FROM prods
WHERE (style='style1' or style='style2' or style='style3')
AND league='leaguex'
AND soldout=''
GROUP by style
ORDER by style

I have a dimension that has the following members:

Senior Managers
Managers
Senior Associates
Associates
But they way they need to be displayed includes subtotals. Senior Managers and Managers are placed into Management and Staff is a total of everyone except Directors. They should appear on the report in something like this:
Directors 10
Senior Managers 15
Managers 9
Management 24
Senior Associates 17
Associates 40
Staff 81
Total 91
What is the best way to do this? Right now I am using a matrix because I am also showing headcounts by Period. Is a table a better way to go? Is it something that should be done in my dimension?
I can do the Total part. I am just not sure how to make the subtotals inbetween the other lines.
Thank you for the help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been reading up on how replicating schema changes work, but I must be missing something. When I configured a database for replication, it added a rowguid column to each table. This I understand.
I want to test making a schema change and replicating that change. For example, I tried to add a column to an existing table. When I tried to save the table i get the following error:
"Error validating the default for column rowguid".
"- Unable to modify table.
It is invalid to drop the default constraint on the rowguid column that is used by merge replication.
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted."
So, what am I missing? Do i need to drop the rowguid column, add the new column, and then re-add the rowguid column?
Many thanks...

I have a datagrid in my file along with an Update Query.
My Update Query basically adds the numerical values in two columns
together when the page is loaded. This means whenever the page is
Refreshed the Update query is fired.
This is my Update Query (which is in an Stored Procedure):
UPDATE Rental
SET TotalFee = ExtraFee + TotalFee
WHERE DaysOverdue >= 0
I have declared my query in the 'Page_Load' part of the coding, because
I want the query to run automatically. Not manually by a button.
My main question is that how can I get the query to run only once a day, no matter how many times the page is loaded.
Playing with DTS for converting text data to SQL Server table and sending email messages. Package is to be scheduled hourly.
1. Is there any easy way to force DTS to choose Success or Failure based on a SQL Task? Wish to check contents of a table for new values and branch accordingly in DTS.
2. When new records are brought in I wish to build a custom email message rather than attaching a text file. Any Idea how to build a custom message?
I am attempting to auto scan an error log on a Unix based system and email myself when errors occur. This is an exercise to test scheduling of jobs, bridging between technologies and sending out meaningful messages based on the process via email.

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me, how can I make SQL server database empty.I mean i need to keep only restore the table structur, no table data.
Is there any possible way to make a row delete itself at a certain date and time? I am tring to make an "On_Sale" table and perticular items(rows) must expire at a certain Date and time. I have an idea to delete a row when it expires but it will cause an extra burden on my application. So is it possible to have SQL responsible for deleting a row at a certain time and date?
Also, I have another question:
when I asign a PK Identity to a certain column is there a way I can enforce consecutive order of PK values? For example if I delete a row and the PK value was 5 it will reoder the whole table so all PK values are in consecutive order:
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
2------------XYZ2----------$$$$
3------------XYZ3----------$$$$
when I delete PK 2 this is what happens
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
3------------XYZ3----------$$$$
the PKs are not in consecutive order
What I want is this to happen: when PK 2 is deleted I need it to show as follows
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
2------------XYZ3----------$$$$
The PKs stay in consecutive order.
See how the PK are still in consecutive order?
hi. i'm trying to make a report in asp that sums up a whole bunch of statistics. the report is quite lengthy and takes about 2 minutes to load. i thought i would solve that problem by making a table to dump the statistics into instead of calculating the statistics every time the report is viewed. this way, the page would just read the table with the statistics already put in it. these statistics would be updated every day or two so i don't need anything up to the minute.however, i have run into a small problem which is actually updating the information in the table. my new table is called OfficeReport and it looks like this:UserID Stat1 Stat2 Stat3 ...... Stat3223 0 0 0 056 0 0 0 072 0 0 0 0this is a query for one of the statistics i am currently using:SELECT DefendantCase.UserID, COUNT(DefendantCase.UserID) AS CountOfUserID FROM DefendantCase LEFT JOIN UserDescription ON DefendantCase.UserID=UserDescription.UserID WHERE UserDescription.Status=1 AND UserDescription.UserType=1GROUP BY DefendantCase.UserIDif i run this query, this is what i get:UserID CountOfUserID54 2160 1052 294 427 22how can i modify this query so its output updates the same UserID column in the OfficeReport table? Thanks!
