Hello, I am taking a Database course this semester and I am totally clueless on the general concepts of managing a database. I have a few questions about these two tables. If someone could please answer them and maybe explain it to me I would greatly appreciate it!...and yes it is homework but I really want to understand it!
1.Which column or columns contain redundant data?
2.Why would you want this duplication, give an example of a use of this database that would benefit from redundancy.
3.Give an example of a specific constraints you would place on programs that accessed this database to control the redundancy?

Hello all,
I recently started learning SQL 2000(70-228)in hopes of getting a certification, after having ordered the nuggets for this and reading through the official microsoft book I am doing some tests I found online. But here's where my problem starts, some of these test questions go against what I think I just learned. To give you an example, check out following screenshot,
If you read the question thoroughly you eventually come at the last line, which states clearly "You do not want to change the way analysts query the database". So if you don't want that, then options B, C and D are all out of the question cuz you will have to instruct the analysts how to select either from the view, or how to execute your stored procedure, or how they should query from the new table, this all changes the way they query the database. This would only leave option A to be the logical choice, but when I click the "SHOW ANSWER" button on the question it says the correct answer is answer D????? Am I missing the boat or has this question just plain got it wrong.
Now onto my next question, this is in line with my previous question, it also involves a question to which I am sure I know the answer but ofcourse my answer is found wrong by the testking answer,
see how it says that you should remove the tablock option, this option to me is just plain wrong, cuz placing a tablock would improve performance when doing a bulk insert. Users would not be vying for locks on the table and you could run your insert at optimal speed. Options A, B, C, D are all guesswork and you would not be able to know beforehand which would give you the best performance(5% or 10%), so you can safely exclude these.
After checking the MSDN webpage on the BULK INSERT you can see why the Tablock option certainly would not have to be removed,
Which leaves option E as the only logical choice, it would be far more logical to drop the indexes, cuz doing a large bulk insert would leave you with lots of indexes to be rearranged and ordered(lots of IO operations). Removing the rowterminator ofcourse should not be removed, so hence thats why I thought option E would be the only correct answer.
So now I am asking of the kind users here with lots more knowledge than me what their opinion is on the matter, am I right or is the testking answer right?
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Thnx,
Peter

I use MS ACCESS and tables linked to MS SQL SERVER tables.
There are indexes defined (they are visible in MS ACCESS too).
Sometimes DLOOKUP functions are taking long time.

to create a code.
Hi everyone,
I have SQL SERVER 2005 on my desktop and i need to run queries from remote machines on my SQL SERVER.
I thought it would be a good i idea to create a web page on my machine to where remote users can contact and activate SQL QUERIES.
My question is very simple and i wonder i a simple answer is available:
How do i run SQL queries whereby ASP code ?
How do i make a connection between a web page (.asp code) and a SQL sever ?
If the answer is complicated as i'm afraid it is, could any one provide me a link for a tutorial dealing with the above issues ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi, My site (in VB.NET) has developed a intermediate timeout problem.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Can someone tell me what could cause this intermediate problem. Is it something wrong with the query? It is definitely the problem from the query as I have 2 queries using same design and both of them develop similar problem.
Pleaee help as our site will have major advertising next month so need to fix it by then.
My server is running Win2003 on SQL 2000.
I have shown the cut-down version of the original query:
***************************************************************CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_getmyitems(@CurrentPage tinyint,@PageSize int,@TotalRecords int OUTPUT)AsSet NoCount ON
Declare @FirstRec intDeclare @LastRec intSet @FirstRec = (@CurrentPage - 1) * @PageSizeSet @LastRec = (@CurrentPage * @PageSize + 1)
Create Table #TempTable(LocalItemID int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,ItemID int,Title varchar(250),)
Insert Into #TempTable(ItemID,Title)SELECT ItemID, TitleFROM tbl_Items
Select ItemID,TitleFrom #TempTableWhere LocalItemID > @FirstRec AND LocalItemID < @LastRec
Select @TotalRecords = Count(*) FROM #TempTableGO
**************************************************************Thank you

4 days ago we had a Server crash luckily we have the daily full database backups...Since the server which was crashed is unusable I installed SQL 7.0 on another machine...I tried to restore databases from our backup tapes...Here is the T-SQL I am running:
restore database pentatel from tape='.ape0' with file=2,move 'PentaTel_dat' TO 'D:mssql7datapentatel.mdf', move 'pentatel_log' to 'D:mssql7datapentatel.ldf'
The error message I am getting is:
Processed 8992 pages for database 'pentatel', file 'PentaTel_dat' on file 2.
Processed 1 pages for database 'pentatel', file 'PentaTel_log' on file 2.
Server: Msg 9004, Level 21, State 1, Line 1
The log for database 'pentatel' is corrupt.
Connection Broken
After these when I look at the SQL Enterprise manager I see that the database is in loading status...I left it in that status for hours but there was no reaction...So I tried to detach and attach a single file.Here are the TSQLs and Error messages...
exec sp_attach_single_file_db pentatel, 'd:mssql7datapentatel.mdf'
Server: Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'pentatel' cannot be opened because some of the files could not be activated.
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'pentatel'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
We have 7 backups and I tried all of them...Same error messages...
When I try to change the status from loading to emergency or normal the database is always inaccessible
I are running these statements
exec sp_configure 'allow',1
reconfigure with override
update sysdatabases set status=32768 where db_id=6
and I stop and start the Mssql7 service but still inaccessible
Any idea???
I despretaly need help...Any recomendation is greatly apreciated...

Hi,I urgently need help with this. I am trying to implement custom paging with Sql 2000. However I have ran into a few problems.I really hope that someone would be able to help me out. I need to get this done by tomorrow!! (I know I screwed up big time, but I didn;t relize that built in paging fetches all the records, and the displays it page by page!!) 1) Currently the paging seems to be working. However the primary key always resets itself. For example, lets say I have 4 records ID 1,2,3,4When I delete ID 3, instead of displaying ID 1,2,4 it shows ID 1,2,3. Is there any way to solve this problem?2) The database that I am currently creating will have about 40,000 records, is it advisible for me to use your control (I hope so)?Thank you and do have a nice day.http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ASPNETPagerControl.asp CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPagedProducts11]
(
@PageSize int,
@CurrentPage int,
@ItemCount int output
)
AS
Declare @UpperBand int, @LowerBand int
-- Get The Count Of The Rows That They Meet the Criteria
SET @ItemCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM aduan)
-- Calculate the @LowerCount and @UpperCount
SET @LowerBand = (@CurrentPage - 1) * @PageSize
SET @UpperBand = (@CurrentPage * @PageSize) + 1
-- create a temporaty table
CREATE TABLE #AllRows(
ad_id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1),
ad_nama varchar(40),ad_tarikh datetime , ad_status varchar(30) ,ad_title varchar(100)
)
-- INSERT ALL THE Rows that meets the Criteria
INSERT INTO #AllRows
SELECT ad_nama,ad_tarikh, ad_status,ad_title
FROM aduan
-- AND finally select and return desired -Paged- Rows
SELECT ad_id, ad_nama, ad_tarikh, ad_status,ad_title
FROM #AllRows
WHERE ad_id > @LowerBand AND ad_id < @UpperBand
RETURN

On one of our servers the sqlseragent was running fine. But now it is not running. We se the option to start the server agent each time the OS starts. Even when I tried to start the agent manually from service manager it is not starting. Would any one help on this urgently.
Also how can we identify under what account any job runs. The reason is when we deleted some NT user accounts one of the job failed as this job runs under that userid. But in the properties it shows that sa is the owner of that job. What is best way to create a job so that these jobs run under one userid so that it won't fail when we delete users.
Thanks

Hi, I'm building a SSAS Integration project, it consist of extracting data from a Microsoft Access 2003 database and consolidate data into a SQL Server 2005 database for datawarehousing.
I need to make several operations for integration, but i'm struck in the following:
- I added an Ole DB Origin that connects to my access database
- I made an sql query with multiple joins that extract all data i need for first instance.
- in data i extracted, i got one column named: FECHA (and many other colums), it contains data of the date of the actual sale; but in previous steps i fill a table named DimTiempo from my sql server database that contanins all the dates (with no repeating) of the sales and added an unique primary key for them; so, now i need to get that primary key for each column FECHA i gotted in my sql query in OLEDB ORIGIN, for example:
I have: 20/20/2004 (column FECHA on my OLEDB ORIGIN gotted with an sql query with multiple joins)
I need: 001 (extracted from DimTiempo, its the primary key of the registry 001 - 20/20/2004)
I need that code or primary key to insert into my new table on my sql server database because its related directly with my DimTiempo table filled previously.
For more directions, i don't have that primary key column on the original access data base; i reestructure completely the database on sql server to make the datawarehouse work fine.
Please, i hope you help me, tell me what do i need to do to get all the data to fill my sql server 2005 database.
Thanks.

hi Friends...
I have got a ordermaster table in which the orderid field is autoincremental.Now I also have an Ordercode field which is a combination of [current (orderid)-LICON)]
eg 1-LICON ..
I achieve this using the following query ...
insert into ordermaster(ordercode,orderamt,orderdate) select cast(max(orderid)+1 as varchar)+'-LICON' as ordercode,1000,'3/6/2004' from ordermaster
But I think the above query could lead to an inconsistent state ....If say following occurs :
1) USER1 reads max orderid as 1
2) User2 also reads max orderid as 1
3)USER 1 inserts record with ordercode as 2-LICON.
4)USER 2 will also insert record for ordercode as 2-LICON since max orderid read by USER2 is also the same as USER1.
How do I avoid this....I know I there are LOcktypes. But aren't locktypes used when we are updating same records....
Please help me out .I really need help in ths context

We have a BIG problem that has been occurring for quite sometime. We have a RAGGED-RIGHT FFS (FlatFileSource) component which receives a FF and then transforms to XML. We define 10 FIELDS with the last field as {CRLF} per ragged right style. Simple right? The source file is sent to us from multiple separate groups, some of which don€™t use the last two fields and have early line termination, so they basically are not there. The problem is that when we define X amount of fields in SSIS, it expects X amount of fields to be there. So when we receive the source file that doesn€™t contain last two fields, SSIS tries to read in the next line, and in most cases successfully places the fields from the next line into the missing fields. Now what we end up with is a source file with 10 rows, but only half successfully transformed, with every other row fitted into the last two XML fields. SSIS completely ignores the {CRLF} until those specific numbers of spaces/fields have been met €“ even if it has to go onto the next line to get them. This seems horribly wrong to me. I would think that at the very least there should be some type of validation that prevents it from grabbing the next line. I thought that is what fixed-length SSIS style is for, and ragged right for allowing to parse multiple rows. We could enforce all clients to produce X char spaces (and we do), but there can be cases in any aspect where a file could get accidentally sent over with a shortened row. I have heard from certain individuals that SSIS adapter wasn€™t designed with this in mind. Is this true, I am to believe that this would still get parsed without throwing any errors and potentially damage the ERP system it is going into? If this is the case then I feel extremely disheartened about SSIS €“ especially with all of the great advancements it has made.
We desperately need a workaround or at the very least some way to validate that a new row {CRLF} isn€™t getting picked up in the first row of the flat file connection. Please can someone help ASAP!?

Hi all,
i think i have serious problem. i have almost 20,000 rows with the following conflict on a table (generated by merge replication over a period of around 3 weeks) :
'The row was updated at 'SubscriberServer3.DatabaseA' but could not be updated 'at 'PublicationServer1.DatabaseA'. Metadata mismatch'
i have 20 remote subscribers & 1 publisher. The above message originates from practically everywhere.
Besides dropping(not practical at the moment) & recreating replication to get rid of them, what else can i do to resolve this problem?? Do i have to resolve this problem row by row?? i'm at my wit's end. Please help!!
Thanx in advance.
