Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases.
Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).
SQL 2005 9.00.3402.00 (x64) As Above really when I select * OR select a single column from the view the wrong column data is returned. in SQL Management Studio when I expand the Columns of the view it reflects the old table structure not the new table structure. I can easily fix by compiling the view again but this would mean I would have to recompile all referencing views when I make a change to table structures. I've tried various DBCC Clean Buffers & drop cache with no effect. Is there a command to recompile all views & poss stored procs in a database. Any help or explanation would be appreciated GW
I have the membership stuff up and running. I've added a field to the membership table called custnmbr. Once a user logs in, I want store his custnbmr in the session and use that to lookup data in another db. ie: Joe logs in and his custnumbr is 001, he goes to the login success page and sees his list of service calls which is: select top 10 * from svc00200 where custnmbr = 001 (the membership.custnmbr for the logged in user) I know how to do this in old ASP using session variables....but I have no idea where to even start with .Net. Many thanks
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
We are creating a view in SQL to format data to DTS to another database. Here is the section of the view which does not work -- eliminating this section from the query allows the view to be created:
CASE APTran.LineNbr WHEN < '0' THEN 'O' --Offsetting Document (or transaction line as we have (AP Liab. AP Cash Entry). WHEN > '0' THEN 'D' --Regular Document (or transaction line as we have (This is either a Debit or a Credit line not AP Liab. AP Cash Entry). ELSE 'E' END AS JED_DIST_OR_OFF,
When I add this code in a view and try to save . . .SELECT TOP 610 *FROM dbo.Master INNER JOINdbo.TypeByCase ON dbo.TypeByCase.CaseNum = dbo.Master.CaseNumIt gives the error:ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Column names in eachview or function must be unique. Column name 'CaseNum' in view orfunction 'dbo.BobView1' is specified more than once.Any idea why?Thanks,RBollinger
I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A: (name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry) -a view will later split this large varchar string based column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256) ....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?
I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables. I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME). I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255). And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.) So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away... Thanks for any help.
I am trying to modify data in a tble using the Stored Procedure below. It doesnt work properly. I seem to only be getting one character. I think it has something to do with me using "nchar" with the variables. The value I am changing is actually a string.
I have some rather large TSQL scripts I'd like to schedule as jobs. Unfortunately, the SysJobSteps table in the MSDB Database is limited to 3200 characters while I need it to be 5000. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this to allow for larger TSQL scripts?
I have a field called "assescode9" in a table called "Assessment" which has the length of "6" and I want to change this length to 7 or 8 in SQL. I tried right click on the field and modify but when I want to save it says you can not save the changes because it requires a Drop table and recreate or you do not have an option enabled to recreate the table, how do I do this?
I have never done dropping a table and recreate it?
I am trying to add a new field to a table using enterprise manager by right clicking on the table, choosing design table and adding the new field/column. But when I choose save changes, I receive an error message:
------------------------------------------------------------ Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of the database objects were not saved. 'Comments' Table -Unable to modify table ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL SERVER] ... ... Cannot drop the table 'dbo.Comments' because it is being used for replication -----------------------------------------------------------
If it helps I am trying to add a binary (bit) field and a text field of 50 characters. I think the replication it refers to is a merge replication (not sure though is there a way i can find out in EM?)
I have read some articles which refer to this problem and suggest using stored procedures but I really dont know how to do that, having never used them before. I need an idiots guide please!
Let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks.
I am new to sql server 2000, and need a little help.
I have a table called CMRC_Products with various columns, there is one column called Product Images that has the name of every image in my catalog over 4000, I want to add to each row in that particular column .jpg without loosing what is already in there
I have tried:
UPDATE CMRC_Products SET ProductImage = ProductImage&' .jpg'
I have a project where I need the ability to update data in a SQL table (SQL 2008) from a tool like Access or Excel. My SQL table has 3 records: Employee number, Employee Name, and a yes / no value (1 or 0). I want to be able to display the table data (in Access or Excel), and be able to have the user modify the yes / no value, but not the Employee number or Employee name. How to handle this in SQL. Should I connect Access directly to the SQL table?Â
have to recordsets with the following with the following SQL
SELECT place, count(minus)as countminus order by place group by place
THE RESULT WOULD BE
PLACE countminus
ABC 10 DEF 50 HIJ 5 KLM 2 MNO 0
MY OTHER QUERY IS SELECT plus, count(plus) as countplus GROUP BY plus ORDER BY plus
THE RESULT WOULD BE:
PLUS COUNTPLUS
ABC 10 DEF 20
my problem is i need to add another column to the first resultset (if possible) or create a table with the same field and values of the first result set with the additional column OF THE second resultset COUNTPLUS...
with this condition..
I need to loop with single row from the column PLACE on the first result set and compare it with the column PLUS on the second result set. if there is a value of the PLACE=PLUS get the corresponding value of the COLUMN COUNTPLUS AND WRITE it on the COUNTPLUS ON THE NEW TABLE.. ELSE THE VALUE IS 0 this i would do it up to the END OF FILE EOF...
THE RESULT WOULD BE THIS.....
PLACE countminus COUNTPLUS
ABC 10 10 DEF 50 20 HIJ 5 0 KLM 2 0 MNO 0 0
I WAS WORKING ON THIS BUT COULDN'T GET THROUGH IT ANYTHING WOULD BE A BIG HELP FOR ME FROM YOU GUYS
Where it's select in red I want to be able to look in another table with a listing of email domains (@express.com,@express.net,@example.org), and when the are query that I don't view them.

I have a excel sheet that has data that needs to be UpSert'ed into 2 different tables. In addition, I need to use a value in the spreadsheet to determine the PK from a reference data table, for one of the UpSert oprations.
That is all working now.
The thing I'm struggling with is something I am sure is quite simple - but I'm not seeing a solution from attempts, googling or BOL.
2 of the columns I receive have either nothing, or X in them. The columns they go into are defined as BIT, NOT NULL.
So, in SQL it would be something relatively simple like:
CASE
When IsAvailable = 'X' then 1
When IsAvailable is null then 1
ELSE 0
end
But I don't know how to do this to data that was in a spreadsheet, and now is a resultset being handed from a task to another task.
to outline my current solution:
---- table 1 = this all works -------------
Excel Source --> MultiCast (For Table 1)-->Data conversion for table1-->:Sort for Table1--> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer join) as 'left' leg
Table1 Source --> Sort Table1 --> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 1 --> Conditional Lplit for table1
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is null) -->Insert Into Table1 Destination
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is not null) -->Update Table1 OLE DB Command
---- table 2 = this needs to be able to convert X/NULL to BIT -------------
MultiCast (For Table 2)-->Copy Column for Table2 -->Data Conversion for Table 2-->table3 lookup to get FK-->Sort for Table2 merge-->Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'left' leg
Table2 Source --> Sort Table2 --> Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 2 --> Conditional split for table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in null) -->insert into table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in not null) -->update table 2 ole db command
-----------------------------------------
Now, if I correct the spreadsheet to have 0's and 1's in the two column, then the process above works. But I cannot (yet) force business to do that.
If tried to use SQL Command for the excel source, but there is limited functionality on the command - I cannot do SQL coalese, isnull or case statements, which would allow me to resolve that data at source.
I've tried to use derived columns to alter the columns. I think that the REPLACE (IsAvailable, VariableContainingX,VariableContaining1) might work to change X's to 1, but that doesn't resolve the NULL issue.
I've tried to use a script component to handle the conversion - which REALLY feels like a bad way to do this - the .Net script is wrote was:
-------------.net script code-------------

We have enabled Change Data Capture for auditing our table changes in SQL Server 2008. There is a request to NULL out a few columns (for all rows) in a couple CDC tables, due to compliance with a certification. Is there a compelling reason not to modify these tables and to leave the audit trail as-is?
In my SSIS package, I have a data flow task I am loading a CSV file into a SQL table (OLE DB destination)
I have a couple of CSV files to be loaded Instead of creating a separate task for each file , can I combine them together into a single task
I was thinking about using a ForEach container
This approach works if the number of columns in all the CSV files is same But in my case it is not
So what I want is a script task that dynamically modifies the mappings
Can I do this?
I was browsing the net and I found certain code which uses IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90, MapOutputColumn etc. But the code was creating a new package for each mapping
I couldn't understand the code
So can you please help me with this?
My script task should modify the mappings in my data flow task For e.g. If I have 3 columns in my CSV and 3 columns in DB, they should be mapped in the same order
Please help figure out what is wrong with my code. The script is supposed to load a package (from file). The loaded package already has everything set up to run a query against a local server and output the results to an Excel file. The reason for the outer script is because I need to change the query based on a global variable. When the query changes, though, I think the existing dataflow Path is no longer valid, so I should remove it and re-create another one with the new input mappings. Here is my code, which runs and throws an exception at the AcquireConnections call.
The error is
Error: 0x2 at Script Task: The script threw an exception: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020801B
I pieced together this code from the examples in the online books, but I am not sure what to do.

Hi all, I have several reports using single shared datasource. I want to change at a runtime database that is used by that datasource. Can this be achieved? If not what are the other solutions €“ I guess that using not shared datasource for each report may be the solution (is it?) but it is not the best solution for me. My goal is to allow users to run the same set of reports, viewed in ReportViewer control, but using different databases (connection string dependant).
When I try to modify a table that I just created I get the following error message: - Unable to modify table ODBC error:[Mircrosoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Invalid cursor state.
SP3 has been applied to SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone help explain what is causing this error? There is sufficient space for the database and transaction log.
Create view All_employee AS SELECT Emp_Name, Emp_code FROM dbo.Employee UNION ALL SELECT Emp_Name, Emp_code FROM Emp_201402.Employee
But we have a different "Schema" for same table because we have archive table with same table name but with different schema name. Now we have req to make view which contain data of all table. But I can't seem to figure out how to do it in a view.
SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @Count INT, @TotalCount INT, @SQL VARCHAR( MAX ) DECLARE @Schema TABLE ( ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(512) ) INSERT INTO @Schema SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SCHEMA_ID), Name FROM sys.schemas where name like '%emloyee%' ORDER BY schema_id ASC

Don' think that works.
Is this possible with a view or it other way to do it?
I would like to use a dynamic pivot table in my data source view. It seems that a named query can be only one sql statement. So, I cannot use my multi-statement procedure that creates a dynamic pivot table output.
What is the best course of action here? I could hard-code my pivot table query. I could maintain a redundant table in the pivot format. Do I have any good options?
Hey,First, sorry if this post appear twice, because, I can not find my postrecently send, trying to post it once again.I'm out of ideas, so, I thought, will search help here again :(I'm trying to prepare a view for ext. app. This is in normal cases veryeasy, but what if the view structure should be dynamic?!Here is my point (I will siplify the examples).I have a table:create table t_data (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,valvarchar(10) not null,data varchar(100) not nullconstraint [PK_t_data] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_data (val, data) values('1111111111','1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz 1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('2222222222','1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz 1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('3333333333','12345abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345 67890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz1234567890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('4444444444','67890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345 67890abcdefg12345hijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('5555555555','1230abcdefghijklmnoprst12345uvwxyz1 234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghijk lmnoprstuvwxyz')gocreate table t_dataVal (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,valvarchar(10) not null,fill varchar(4) not nullconstraint [PK_t_dataVal] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('1111111111','AAAA')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('2222222222','KKKK')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('3333333333','DDDD')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('4444444444','ZZZZ')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('5555555555','CCCC')gocreate table t_conf (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,start int not null,length int not null,description varchar(20) not null,constraint [PK_t_conf] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (1,10,'value_1')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (11,3,'value_2')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values(55,15,'value_3')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (33,2,'value_4')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (88,1,'value_5')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (56,7,'value_6')goNow here is the issue:table t_conf contain data, which can be modified by user.

I am trying to replicate data from a view in the publisher to a table in the subscriber (transaction replication). I do not need the view's base table, or the view itself, replicated to the subscriber. I only want to data from the view to feed a table in the subscriber.
If data is modified (by an insert, update, or delete) while the backup is running, will the backup contain those changes or will it be added to the database afterwards?
