Hi All,
I have three select statements, which look like this:
SELECT PhraseID, strPhrase FROM Phrase WHERE (LanguageID = ???)
I now want to display all of these columns side by side... The only way I've managed to do this is as follows:
SELECT a.PhraseID, a.blah, b.blah, c.blah FROM
(SELECT PhraseID, strPhrase as blah FROM Phrase WHERE (LanguageID = 10)) a,
(SELECT PhraseID, strPhrase AS blah FROM Phrase WHERE (LanguageID = 15)) b,
(SELECT PhraseID, strPhrase AS blah FROM Phrase WHERE (LanguageID = 17)) c
WHERE a.PhraseID = b.PhraseID AND a.PhraseID = c.PhraseID
This looks like a bit of a kludgy way of doing it, and I'm sure I'm missing a trick!
Is there a better approach?
Thanks,
Neil

Please help.I have Database A (Archived data), Database B (Transactional data).Both A and B do not have any timestamps in any tables.I need to bring A (only once because it is archived data) and B withonly differentials into Database C for reporting purposes.Currently C is cleared before loading B with differentials every nightand A is not loaded since it takes 15 hours to load.Now I want to bring A once and leave it and then bring B every nightwith differentials without clearing C.Please suggest some solutions.Thank You
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to verify a .CSV file exists before I run a BULK INSERT. I am using XP_FileExist in SQL 2000 to accomplish this. After the Bulk Insert is completed and validated, I need to Rename the file and Move the file to archive the folder. For testing I figure If I can rename the file I can move it. I suspect I have permission issues and need to provide the SQL Server Agent permissions to this folder and file. I have my PC setup as a SQL 2000 Server and am attempting to get this step only working on my local machine. I created a nightly Job that remanes a file that I created in a Job and that is all it does. I am running the Job as SA but am still having issues.
The step being executed by the Job is "Ren C:MyTestFile.csv C:MyTestFile1.csv" (with the quotes). If I run this statment (without the Quotes from a command prompt, the file is renamed.
I have set the Type as "Operating System Command (CmdEXEC)". The Job history shows "The process could not be created for step 2 of job 0x71D51027F920A140A2913234DB7FF509 (reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed."
As I said, I suspect that it is a permissions issue as the command works from the command prompt. What is the windows account that the SQL Server Agent uses to commit these commands? I added "Everyone" with Full access to the folder and I still get the same failure.
I would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. Thanks in advance!
I am using SQL Server 2000 and trying to create a disaster recovery strategy that would run nightly and backup the database or at least the changes and would ftp these to a secure ftp site. For smaller database it is easy, I just take a full backup, zip up the file and ftp it to the secure backup site. This strategy does not work so well when the zipped up database is still close to 3GB. I have a pretty big window for doing everything but 3GB is just too much to ftp overnight. The recovery model is simple so the only other option seemed to be do a full backup once a month and take differentials nightly. The problem is I am offsight and the client may need to take a full backup during the day and my nightly differential would get screwed up.
There is a fairly low volume of transactions so the idea of just doing nightly backups on the data that has changed is the obvious choice but differentials don't seem to fit. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a production database that I would like to have copied over to a backup database on a separate server every evening. I don't want to mirror, I just want the databases synced up every evening.
The servers are physically attached through a gigabit switch and the database is relatively small, so I don't think that speed will be an issue.
Could someone point me to an article about the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Quick question..
If I'm log-shipping data from a database can I still perform a full backup of it each night without it affecting the log sequence?
I know this is probably an easy thing to do but I've been struggling with this on and off for the past month or so. All I want to do is copy two databases (our app db's) to two other databases (for app testing and training) on the same server every night. The databases aren't used during this time so they can be taken down if necessary.
I've tried using the Copy Database wizard and scheduling the resulting job but that isn't working...
Thanks in advance for any direction/help!
Does anyone see any negative consequences to stopping and starting SQL Server nightly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would you solve this problem?
Would you use replication? SSIS? Schedule stored procs? A third party data tool?
We have about 50 databases located at offices around the world. There are several key tables which we need a central copy of at our Head Office.
We need only the new INSERTS or UPDATES for the day to be copied to head office.
The copying process should happen after business hours for that office.
Some cleaning of the data needs to happen before updating head office.
Our database is being installed at new offices every other month, so it's important to us that this be easy to add a new database into the schedule, ideally without needing a SQL DBA or Developer.
We want something robust, performant and easy to troubleshoot.

I need some help. I'm running Win2000 w/SQL 2000 Active/Active cluster. I've started having problems where one node will fail over automatically every night. The times are different each night and the only thing that shows up in the log file is the SQL Server terminated due to stop request from the service control manager. I can't find any error to point me in any direction. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jeff

View 6 Replies View RelatedI run a nightly full backup of the databases and then back up the transaction log. After completing the full database backup and the transaction log, I then update all existing statistics.
Is this a good practice to do on a nightly basis? I drop and re-create indexes on all the databases once a week. Does updating the statistics really help?
Hello, we are running MSSQL 2005 express on a windows 2003 machine. I have looked in SQL Server Management Studio for close to an hour and could not find a way to setup automatic backups of databases. Where is this feature, and short tutorial would be great. Thanks!
