We tried to create a new database on an application server (Win 2003 server/SQL Server 2003) and got the following error.
error 945....
.... device activation error. The physical filename g:m ssqldata emplog.ldf may be incorrect.
The interesting thing is that tempdb is on f:mssql as shown in the database properties and with sp_dbhelp.
Poking around in master the real wierdness comes through. sysaltfiles has 2 entries each for tempdb logs and data files. One of them is on g: and one is on f:. The lower dbid is on f: and the higher one is on g: (actually the last two rows in the table).
Several months ago our software vendor moved tempdb from g: to f: to try and speed it up a bit. Appearantly they messed it up and now have written us off till WE fix it.
The entries in sysaltfiles were the only references to g: that turned up (though we didn't look at every table and aren't even remotely sure where other references might be located).
Any pointers on getting this corrected would be greatly apprecieated. We thought about trying a reconfigure and restarting but I'm not real hopeful. We also thought about just updating the wrong entries to reflect the right locations but that smacks of kluge.
Tangential wierdness is that while trying to isolate the source of g:mssql in the error I found that in master.sysdevices the file location is e:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata empdb.mdf.
I believe this is from the initial install then while configuring the server it got moved to g: then to f:.
I attempted to move some tasks into a new sequence container. It failed saying element cannot be found in a collection. Now I find that visually the tasks do not appear in the container. But in some ways they are. I can not try to move the tasks to the container, or I get the same "element can not be found". If I execute the container, the tasks outside the container run.
I thought to CUT and PASTE my tasks, but then it says "The package contains one or more event handlers for this task. Deleting the task will also delete the event handlers and the event handler context."

Hello,I am trying to begin a transaction is ASP.NET that acts as a temporary lock on a record so that another web user can not gain access to that row of information. My problem is that when I begin the transaction, if the user then closes out of the browser completely, the temporary lock that is put on my table from the transaction does not go away. Further, I have no idea if it will or if there is a time range you can specifiy to do so.What I am wondering is if anyone has ever tried this before, or does anyone have a definite answer to the following question, "If I begin a transaction, and then I do NOT rollback or committ that transaction, will it ever rollback on its own and if so where can I set this time frame?"Thanks in advance for any help.
I am working on a query that needs to return the record order number with the most recent requested delivery date.
It seems to work most of the time, but I have found some glitches for some of the items.
example is my item 10702, it is showing 2 records (both valid ones) Record 1 is order # 10450-0, requested delivery date 03/21/2014 Record 2 is order # 10510-0, requested delivery date 04/29/2014
I need to only get the records with the most recent delivery date, in this example that would be 04/29/2014
This query is what I have so far:
SELECT s.PriorQuoteNumber ,s.PriorItemNumber ,s.PriorQuoteDate FROM ( SELECT s.SalesQuoteNumberAS 'PriorQuoteNumber'
[code]....
WHERE s.rn = 1What am I missing in my query> how can I change it so it only returns the most recent date?
Lets say I have a table PortDates with 3 columns like this:PORT ARRIVALDATE SAILINGDATENewYork 12-15-2004Rio 10-12-2004Hamburg 10-14-2004etc.I want to sort the ports on dates from both date columnsSELECT Port FROM PortDatesORDER BY (ArrivalDate JOIN SailingDate)Now, that doesn't work of course, but what should I write to get it to workso I can order by the dates as if they were one merged column?Join Bytes!
I'm trying to eliminate merged cells when exporting a report to Excel. My problem being my report textbox above my table.
I've searched and found that making the textbox the same width as the first column eliminates the merging. Perfect, it does. But when the report is viewed in the report viewer, the textbox can only expand vertically. So the title looks terrible because column one is not wide.
I've read that expand horizontally is not an option I don't seem to be able to tell it not to output that text box, which would be an option if there is no other answer I can't have the text box the size I want it, due it creating merged cells I don't want to export it as a CSV
Are there any other options available or am missing something?
Is there a reason why a single cell in a table with the CanGrow property set to true will grow down, and merged cells grow right, and is there any way around it?
I have a report that I have to display comments, so I merged 2 cells put the comment field in it, and when it is displayed in the browser, it expands off the page.
When it prints, it seems to be fine, but the majority of my users will be viewing online in a browser.
Any ideas? just an HTML thing I am thinking, and nothing can be done about it.
i have a client who is dissatisfied with the merged columns and rows produced when SSRS renders to Excel, it prevents them from easily copying and pasting data into another workbook.
Is there going to be any work done in this area of the product in the near future? My understanding is that this 'issue' has been around for quite some time, and shortly after the SSRS2005 RTM release the team were going to look at tidying up the Excel rendering. Can anyone from MS make an official comment on this?
In the footer from a report I want to print the UserID and the Date. I added a textbox with de following code: =User!UserID & " " & Globals!ExecutionTime
Now I want to change the date format in dd-MM-yyy uu:mm. This is not possible in the textbox properties because I added the UserID to the same textbox. Is there a way to change the format?
I receive this error during rendering when I have two cells merged together:
Error Snippet
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
When I "Split Cells" on the offending cells, it starts to work. This report renders without error when run on the RS server. This error only occurs when running the report locally on the "Preview" tab in the report designer.
I have closed the IDE and deleted the *.data files and restarted with the same results. Is there anyway to get more information about the error to help debug the problem?
I am trying to split cells that are merged as part of a grouped report. Am using the right-button menu and pressing "Split Cells" when it appears but it just splits into two parts and not into single cells or rows. When I right-button on one of the parts that came out of the split, I do not get a "Split Cells" to break it down further. Want to be able to split the grouped cells into individual cells or rows and have the rows be different colors. How can I do this?
I have a basic matrix report but whenever I export this report to Excel, some of the cells end up becoming merged. Is there any way to avoid this using Reporting Services instead of formatting the cells directly in Excel?

Hi, We have an existing merged replication schema that works well. One of the tables is named audit. Currently this is a bidirectional transfer. However, we want a new audit table that will transfer data from the subscriber to the publisher and not the other way round. I have a script that was generated as a backup script when replication was first created. I have no idea which parameter to change in order to have the merge replication going from subscriber to publisher. Any advise is helpful. Thanks.
I have a report in that report having some Text boxes and below tables.But the problem is when i export the report into excel textboxes are merged, not getting properly.
Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express
In SQL sERVER 2008, I have two fields - Depatment and Employees. I need to sort the result set by employee number ascending order, with following exception
1)when department number = 50 - the preferred order is Employee # - 573 followed by 551-572 (employee # belong to Dept 50 = 551-573)
2)When Department number = 20 – the preferred sort order is Employee # 213-220, followed by Employee # 201-213 (employee # belong to Dept 20 = 201-220)
I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.
For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.
I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.
I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.
I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.
Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder (PurchaseOrderDate, SupplierID) VALUES(@date, @SupplierID)
END
SET @POno = @@IDENTITY
RETURN
However, how do i make it that it will automatically adds item under the POno being gernerated? can i use a trigger so that whenever a Insert for PO is success, it automaticallys proceed to adding the items into the table PurcahseOrderItem?
hi basically what i have is 3 text boxes. one for start date, one for end date and one for order id, i also have this bit of SQL SelectCommand="SELECT [Order_ID], [Customer_Id], [Date_ordered], [status] FROM [tbl_order]WHERE (([Date_ordered] >= @Date_ordered OR @Date_ordered IS NULL) AND ([Date_ordered] <= @Date_ordered2 OR @Date_ordered2 IS NULL OR (Order_ID=ISNULL(@OrderID_ID,Order_ID) OR @Order_ID IS NULL))"> but the problem is it does not seem to work! i am not an SQL guru but i cant figure it out, someone help me please! Thanks Jez
Hi, We got a problem. supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a ( aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, aName string2 NOT NULL ) go ALTER TABLE a ADD CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId) go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); ... ... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName Result is: 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName Result is: 11Bank of abcde 10Bank of abcde 9Bank of abcde 8Bank of abcde 7Bank of abcde 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?
Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.* FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag, dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?
insert into test_sort values('Non-A'); insert into test_sort values('Non-O'); insert into test_sort values('Noni'); insert into test_sort values('Nons');
then execute the following selects: select * from test_sort order by cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));
select * from test_sort order by cast( description as nvarchar(75));

Hi I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
