View 3 Replies View RelatedDISTINCT First Name And Last Name For Mail Merge
Dec 1, 2005I'm trying to create a mail merge on my MS SQL database. Many of my owners are entered more than once as they might own multiple properties. I'm trying to write a query where each is only pulled one time and I'm having some trouble. I think I need to use SELECT DISTINCT, but I need to make sure I don't filter out people with the same first name and different last names and vice versa. Thanks!
View 6 Replies View RelatedAggregate Total Acreage And Group By For Mail Merge
Dec 1, 2005I was helped on an earlier question to complete my mail merge with the following code:
selectYourTable.*
fromYourTable
inner join --DistinctNames
(selectMax(PrimaryKey) as PrimaryKey
fromYourTable
group by FirstName,
LastName) DistinctNames
on YourTable.PrimaryKey = DistinctNames.PrimaryKey
Basically this code queries my mailing list and ensures that i do not send mutiple letters to one person at the same address who might be in the batabase more than once. However, the reason they are in there more than once is that they might own additional properties. Anyway, I have a column that includes their acreage for each property in each record and I would like to add those up for each person during my query. Thought anyone? Thanks!
How To Mimic Replmerg.exe In Vb.net
Dec 20, 2005Hello,
On an existing Merge Pull Subscription (Subscriber: SQL Express) via websync how can we start replication via vb.net? We can use the cmd line replmerge.exe and all works fine however we would like this to be cleaner as it's going to be on demand sync. I saw in BOL about the RMO and how to create pubs/subs but nothing telling me how to actually start the replication process. Is there a sample of how to start the replication process in vb.net for websync? Thanks in advance.

Using Filegroups To Mimic Table Restores
Sep 28, 2000Recently, we had some tables inadvertantly dropped from a 20+ GB data warehouse in the middle of one of our load cycles. In order to avoid restarting the load, we had to make restore a copy of the database from a full database backup and then manually move in the dropped tables using DTS.
This ended up being a painful process, and I am looking to avoid it by restructuring the database into filegroups so I can mimic the table restore function from 6.5.
I am looking for pros, cons, gotchas, and best practices regarding splitting a MSSQL 7 database into multiple filegroups. We would be including 1 or more tables and all of thier indexes in each filegroup. Specifically, I have the following questions:
1. All the literature I read mentions the need for doing transaction log backups and restores if I utilize filegroup backups. Is this really necessary? We have turned off transaction logging for performance reasons, and since we completely control the addition of new data into the db.
2. Are there implications for disk read performance involved with filegroups? Our data resides on an EMC disk array. I feel that we'll most likely have between 20 and 30 filegroups.
3. If we decide to move a table (and its indexes) between filegroups, is the process as simple a dropping the clustered index and recreating it on the new filegroup (then dropping and recreating the n-c indexes)?
Any information y'all can post would be greatly appreciated.
How Do You Conditionally Fire A Trigger (mimic Replication)
Oct 19, 2006Does anyone know how to do the following. I'm trying to mimicreplication with triggers.I have 2 databases, each have these 2 tables.1.USERSID intNAME varchar(20)2.CHANGESTABLE varchar(20)TYPE varchar(10)col1 varchar(20)col2 varchar(20)On the USERS table I have a for insert trigger. Whenever a new user isadded the trigger puts an entry into the CHANGES table such as("USERS", "INSERT", "1", "Fred")I now have an application (vb.net) that monitors the CHANGES table onserver1. If it finds an entry it determines the table using the TABLEcolumn and performs the necessary insert and deletes the entry fromCHANGES. Now the problem is server2 also has an for insert trigger onthe USERS table so it puts an entry into CHANGES on server2. As youcan imagine this goes around in a loop.What I was hoping for was someway of saying, "I'm inserting from myapplication so don't do the trigger".Any ideas gratefully appreciated.Steve.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMimic The Rowcount Transform's Variables Dropdown?
Jul 24, 2007I'm trying to mimic the rowcount transform's custom property called VariableName in a custom pipeline transform, with the same drop-down and list of variables in the default property grid as that of "RowCount".
Should a UITypeEditor or a TypeConverter be used for such a custom property? More importantly, in either case, how do you get from the UITypeEditor or TypeConverter to the TaskHost which contains the Variables to enumerate?
I'm not that familiar with Windows Forms, but it appears in both cases (editor or type converter), an ITypeDescriptorContext parameter named "context" is passed, but I'm certain how to get from A to B, that is, from the context variable to the TaskHost.
P.S. There's no need to add a new variable, just select from those that already exist.
Can A Data Flow Task Mimic Bulk Insert?
May 31, 2006Hi Guys,
The way I understand a Data Flow Task is that it inserts the rows from the source to destination one by one. Is there a way to make it act like a bulk insert task? We have been experiencing performance issues when inserting a lot of rows from one table to another. If there's no way to actually do it, can a bulk insert task functionality be scripted? Coz what I need is a table to table insert, and the bulk insert task only accepts data files as sources.
Thanks!

SSIS Send Mail Task - Failure Sending Mail

I have switched off the firewall settings on my system and as suggested im entering the minimal information and data to send the mail.

plz suggest.
SSIS Send Mail Task - Failure Sending Mail
Jun 8, 2006Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I've setup a task to email on success/failure and keep receiving the following message when executed:
Progress: The SendMail task is initiated. - 0 percent complete
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".
Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Send Mail Task failed
When I configure Outlook Express on the same machine with the same settings it works.
On the SMTP Connection Manager I have left the default name, tested with both an IP address and Server Name, and no authentication or SSL.
On the Send Mail Task, it uses the above connection. The To: , From: , Subject fields are populated. Message SourceType is DirectInput, MessageSource is Test, Priority is Normal and no attachments or expressions etc.
Nothing useful is logged in the Event Viewer even with full logging turned on.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks.
Configure SMTP Server Mail To Send Mail
Feb 10, 2008Hello,
The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server.
The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ?
Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account?
The mail should be sent from my SQL Server.
Thank You.

Sending Mail To Several Users With Send Mail Task ?
Nov 10, 2006I know you can specify additional recipients in the To column by sepperating them with a semicolon. But whats the easiest way to send to several users, when the email address must be retrieved from a table with a query like this:
select email from problem_subscribers
where project = 'project1'
and statusmail = 'OnError'
So when the eventhandler gets an OnError i want the mail task to be sent to each problemsubscriber.

Nov 28, 2007Hi All,
We are evaluating DB mirroring for our production box. But we have some queries with the operating mode available for mirroring.
1) I set the database miroring operation mode to full safety mode which is with synchronous. And Then executed a command to insert data in bulk in principal, the changes were commited to principal even when they are still getting mirrored to mirror server.
But as per the mirroring documentation from microsoft says this
"If transaction safety (or just 'safety') is set to FULL, the principal and mirror servers operate in a synchronous transfer mode. As the principal server hardens its principal database log records to disk, it also sends them to the mirror. The principal then waits for a response from the mirror server. The mirror responds when it has hardened those same log records to the mirror's log disk."
Is this a bug or I am doing anything wrong.
2) Mirroring documentation also says that when the transaction is on full safety mode, and if mirror and witness goes down then principal goes to read only mode. But again I saw deviation from the documentatin because when I turned mirror and witness off, principal went to "In recovery" mode.
Please help incase anybdy have faced this before or can help me if I am interpreting it wrong.
Thanks

but I can't send a mail with sp_send_dbmail stored procedure in 'msdb' database .
when I execute sp_send_dbmail in the Managment Studio the message is

Could it be related to Service Broker?Because the Surface Area Configuration indicates:'this inctance does not have a Service Broker endpoint'.If so, how should I make an endpoint?

Merge Repliction - Run Stored Procedure When Merge Agent Starts
Jul 23, 2005I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.

Functionality Of DATEPART

Updategram Functionality
Jun 13, 2007I have a table in one database (source) and an equivalent table in another (destination) and I need to move from my source to my destination database.
When I move the data I need to do the equivalent of an updategram, so for instance compare primary keys and if it exists in both do an update, if it is in source but not destination do an insert, if it is in destination but not source do a delete.
Is there already a process for doing this, as it seems pretty fundamental but I've not really found anything that gives the result I need?
If not, is there a way of doing this with what is available within Data Flows or should I just go ahead and go through the pain of creating my own data flow destination object?
