Here is a simple question. I am having difficulty accessing books
online at Microsoft so I thought I would ask here. What is the
standard naming syntax for Sqlserver 2005? Assuming I had the
following table, [proddb01].[details].[dbo].[daily_tranx], how would I
refer to it in the new version?
Thanks a lot!
I'm new to SQL Server and just installed VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. My question is, is there any naming rules for an instance? When I open Express Manager it is asking me to enter an Instance name. Thanks for any suggestions or help,
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I install Cluster naming instance of MSSQL 2005 Enterprise edition with SP2 and latest patch.
When I try connecting this instance from outside of the server by "server nameinstance name" I got connection error.
But when I connecting by "server name,port number" it's connecting with no problem.
Can someone help me resolve connection outside of the server with "server nameinstance name"?
Thanks
What is the proper syntax to return records that appear in 1 table but NOT the other table? I have 2 tables that should contain the same records(based on shipping report number), so my join will use this field. How can I only return the data where the shipping report number appears in only 1 of the tables though>?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not that experienced in SQL 2005 and I'm trying to debug a stored proc (written by a far more experienced programmer which is why I'm appending here.)
At the top of the proc is the statement 'DECLARE @BillActualRoom bit'. If I understand correctly this is a local variable.
Later in the code we have the statement
'SELECT @BillActualRoom = 0 FROM BillingOptions WHERE CenterID = @CenterID'
where @CenterID is an input parameter.
The table BillingOptions does have a field called 'BillActualRoom' and it is a bit.
My question is this: Does this SQL statement make any sense at all? (My gut reaction is no but I'd like a second opinion. Can't get any consensus in the office.)
I would think that putting a local variable in like this would mean that @BillActualRoom is always equal to 0.
I have tried the following, the update part i snot working. Any idea why? alter PROCEDURE dbo.SP_FeaturedClassifieds
@PageIndex INT,
@NumRows INT,
@FeaturedClassifiedsCount INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
select @FeaturedClassifiedsCount = (Select Count(*) From classifieds_Ads Where AdStatus=100 And Adlevel=50 )
Declare @startRowIndex INT;
Set @startRowIndex = (@PageIndex * @NumRows) + 1;
With FeaturedClassifieds as (Select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order By FeaturedDisplayedCount * (1-(Weight-1)/100) ASC) as
Row, Id, PreviewImageId, Title, DateCreated, FeaturedDisplayedCountFrom
classifieds_Ads
WhereAdStatus=100 And AdLevel=50
)
SelectId, PreviewImageId, Title, DateCreated, FeaturedDisplayedCount
From
FeaturedClassifieds
Where
Row between@startRowIndex And @startRowIndex+@NumRows-1
Update FeaturedClassifiedsSET FeaturedDisplayedCount = FeaturedDisplayedCount+1
Where
Row between
@startRowIndex And @startRowIndex+@NumRows-1
END
I have tried function too for this, but function can not update table I guess.... Can I call stored procedure for each column? How?
I thought the code above would work? What am I missing?
Hi,
We are into a phase of retiring SQL 2000 database and replacing with SQL 2005. Could you please guide me to get a list of all the MUST DO changes on syntax, statements/query those have been changed in 2005 when compared to 2000.
I know there is a list of new features list on site, but it doesn't tells me precisely what all syntaxes will result differently then expected in 2000. For Example - if we open help for SET ANSI_NULLS ON, we can read that MS is suggesting to avoid its use as it will be absolete in later version. So do we have a list of all such things in one place that we can read and analyse our code for changes to be done now instead of finding it later.
Thanks for your time on this one, in advance.

Hi,
I'm using ComponentArt's Callback grids with Manual Paging.
The CA example grid uses Access:(http://www.componentart.com/webui/demos/demos_control-specific/grid/programming/manual_paging/WebForm1.aspx)
That SQL syntax produced is invalid in SQL Server 2005.
Example:
"SELECT TOP " & Grid1.PageSize & " * FROM (SELECT TOP " & ((Grid1.CurrentPageIndex + 1) * Grid1.PageSize) & " * FROM Posts ORDER BY " & sSortColumn & " " & sSortOrderRev & ", " & sKeyColumn & " " & sSortOrderRev & ") ORDER BY " & sSortColumn & " " & sSortOrder & ", " & sKeyColumn & " " & sSortOrder
So...This is what I have (simplified), and it appears return incorrect rows on the last few pages:
SELECT top 15 * FROM Posts where & sFilterString & " and Postid in (SELECT TOP " & ((Grid1.CurrentPageIndex + 1) * Grid1.PageSize) & " Postid FROM Posts where " & sFilterString & " ORDER BY " & sSortColumn & " " & sSortOrder & ") " & " ORDER BY " & sSortColumn & " " & sSortOrderRev
What other approaches has anyone used besides the "ID in (...)"?The examples I have included show the available variables: sort asc and desc, current page, number of rows on a page, etc.
Hello, I have 2 tables: Articles and Users. These 2 tables are related by AuthorId (FK) in Articles and UserId (PK) in Users. My question is: should the use the same name for the 2 keys, i.e., UserId? Or it is normal to use AuthorId in Articles table and UserId in Users table. This makes more sense. Just a naming question. Thanks, Miguel
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat does everyone think of this method?I have a ton of tables like User, Project etc. I use the SAME column names for each table. For an example, ID, Name, Status etc instead of UserID etc.Only for relationship naming will I use UserID.The reason I do this is from a OOP perspective.My dad often said that a table was a entitiy of an object and each record in the table was a instance of that object.

I am using SQL Server 7 w/ SP2. This may seem silly, but I'm trying to re-name a DTS local package -- so far without success. Surely there's a way to do this. Also, where is DTS info stored? That is, how does SQL Server store package names and other details? Thanks!

Most of the programming I do is in Access. I like to use naming conventions for all my tables, queries, etc. I am now moving several databases to SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good resource for naming convetions in SQL Server. Website, book?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I wanted to ask for the naming conventions in SQL SERVER.as in case of pl/sql server we have ..name_of_package.name_of_procedure thats how we call the procedures i.e. owner of schema then name of package n then procedure name.....i want to ask you all how is it done in SQL SERVER..please try to reply as soon as possible,

In our database tables are generated like
EMP_MASTER
DEPT_MASTER
like that. when we generate classes from database the class names are looking like
EmpMaster
DeptMaster
but for my classes that Master suffix is not required.
please solve my problem.
Thanks and Regards,

Would like to know what naming convention you folks use.
What I need specifically is column naming conventions.
For instance, I have a table called 'lst_as400_srvr'. We could go with the vigorous:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
as400_srvr_idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
as400_srvr_namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
as400_srvr_is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
Or, I could loosen the rules a bit and go with:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
I would lean towards the vigorous because it would be very obvious what data is being referenced by the name. In the loosened version, I could very easily have many tables with a 'id' column or a 'is_active' column.
Inversely, I would lean towards the loosened version because the names are a lot shorter and, thus, easier / faster to type.
I figure, if I'm going to learn a new standard, now's a good time to do so.
So, thoughts? Appreciate the help folks. :)
I'm creating a new database for an application that I wish to sell in the future. When we sell it the client will have the option to host is or have us host it. I want to create a name for the database that doesn't describe what the product is. I also want to be able to create new databases if we host it and those names be of a similar convention or subject. I was thinking each would be a Greek god, galaxy names or something along those lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I'm coming from a MS Access background and so I'm very used to andcomfortable with the hungarian (Leszynski et al) naming conventions.However, I'm getting started into my first SQL Server Database andreally want to use the appropriate up to date standard namingconvention (ISO compliant).I think I have the general idea from raking though countlessconflicting sites and posts, but I'm a bit stuck on what to doregarding pk / fk namingFor example, in my MS Access world I would have two tables:tblOrders=======strOrderIDintCustomerIDdtOrderDate....tblCustomers==========intCustomerIDstrCustomerName....So what would the appropriate and most up-to-date and standard namingbe for SQL Server? My Guess:Orders=====Ord_Order_ID_PkOrd_Customer_ID_FkOrd_Order_Date....Customers========Cus_Customer_ID_PkCus_Customer_Name....How close (or far) am I from "Celko Proof" naming here?All help gratefully accepted!
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I schedule a DTS package as a Job and then look in the job step detail I am presented with the following line.

Is there a specific table that will hold that code that will relate it to the DTS package??

Sorry if this seems trivial, but is it allowed to add hyphens in a physical server name?

Does anyone know if it is possible to create dynamically named tables from within a stored procedure? The goal is to append a unique identifier on the end of an otherwise static table name to allow for multiple incarnations of the table to exist concurrently while not interfering with each other. For example, we would like to create and use a temp table that is suffixed with a login name to or a timestamp to make it unique.
Is this possible?
I was wondering if there are generally accpeted naming standards for SQL Server ojbects (tables, store procedeures, triggers, views etc.) that might be available somewhere on the WEB. I was also wondering if most DBA`s prefix the object names like "sp_" or suffix the object like "Customer_T"? Any opinions?

SQL Server 2005 cluster. Active-Active. We want to create two instances. The two nodes are named:
mike-940-01
mike-940-02
I read somewhere that there can only be ONE default instance in a 2005 cluster. So I interpret that as meaning that I can only have one instance named after a virtual server (example: mike-940-03) and the other instance has to be a slashed instance (example: mike-940-03/instance1). But what if I create another virtual server (example: mike-940-04). Can I install a default instance in that server? Can someone help me clarify this?
Also, if I'm using all slashed instance names, then what does it choose as the base name before the slash? In other words, what decides which virtual server name is used? Is it the management node? Is it one of the nodes?
My objective is to keep consistency in the naming on the cluster. If I have to use slashed instances, then I want all sql server instances to have a slash.
Sorry about the confusing explanation, but that's probably a symptom of MY confusion.
Thanks!
I'd like to name an output field based on the result of a subquery look up. This is the idea:
select colname1 as (select name from tableofnames where nameid=1)
..but that doesn't work. What would?
I have several calcuatled columns in a table (see below) that I have been work with. First can I assign a proper naming decision to the columns? How can I reference these columns in other tables?
For example how can I assign names to the columns listed below?
select date, ((abc * .05)+ efgh * .05), (((efgh * .475) + (abc * .475) + (123gross * .05)))
from table
where date = '2006-03-31
