Non-techie Interface To SQL Srvr 05 DM Functionality For 500,000 Rows?
Jan 15, 2008
Dear all,
We've a denormalised database (SQL Server 05) with around half a million rows, feeding a fairly simple Analysis Services cube. We were hoping to use the Excel 07 DM add-in as a user-friendly interface to lots of people, but as far as I can tell we need to first import the data into an Excel 07 worksheet. I realise 2007 has a 1mn limit, but the rows are wide, downloading GBs is not possible, and I have concerns about Excel performance and reliability at these volumes, especially on a desktop.
Is there any way to use the data mining functionality without having the data in Excel?
If not, what would be the simplest/quickest/cheapest way of providing this functionality (or subsets of it) to people who know Excel but not data mining?
Thanks for any guidance or corrections,
Chris
PS. Would downloading subsets of the data work, along the lines of the article entitled Sampling Nested Tables ( http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/ssdm/Default.aspx?tabid=102&Id=14 )?

In a C++ project, I implement a component of accessing database with programming in ole db com interface.
I delete many rows in following style:
IRowsets::RestartPosition( NULL );
IRowsets::MoveNext( )
do
{
IRowsetsChange :: DeleteRows( DB_NULL_HCHAPTER, 1, &(m_hRow), &nStatus );
}while( IRowSet::MoveNext( 0 ) );
The Problem: In this style, I only delete two records. while use ' IRowSet::MoveNext( 0 ) ' to get the third records, the result is END_OF_RECORDSET.
Why I only delete two rows? Why I do not get the third row?
Thank you!

Hi!
I have tried installing SQL Server 7.0 on my Win 98 machine. My machine has all the latest service packs and I think it is reasonably up to date. I've tried installing from the disc 3 times and it fails to install:
the Server Network Utility and Service Manager.
As a result, I am unable to register my local machine as a SQL server.
Any ways around this? Quick fixes?
Thanks!

Our network people changed our machine name one character without our permission, they say their naming standards can't handle an "underscore" we put in our name...now the SQL Server won't run because it doesn't recognize the name of the machine.
Is there a way of bypassing or telling SQL server that we changed the name without having to reload all of our information?

Hi all,
Hope someone can help: by default, there's an entry for 'public' in server permissions (right-click server in Management Studio > Properties > Permissions), which has 1 selection: 'View All Databases' is set to 'grant'. I wanted to disable this permission, and so unfortunately unchecked the 'grant' tickbox but forgot to tick the 'deny' tickbox. What appears to have happened is the entire 'public' entry has been removed, meaning I can't go back and reselect 'grant' (or 'deny') for 'View All Databases'. I'd really like to get the 'public' role to reappear... Is that possible?
A very big thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have just started to learn SQL Server 2005, and am currently using the MCTS SQL Server 2005 Self-Paced Training Kit. I am literally at the very start, and already seem to have hit a snag and can't figure it out. From browsing here in the past I recall people here seemed quite clued up, and I was hoping someone might be able to assist.
I am using SQL Server 2005 Ent. Edtn. (trial) on Win XP Pro (SP2). I am basically trying to run a sample script copied from book to create a database and primary, secondary and log files. Whilst I have the theory down, and thought I understood the SQL (have used other DBMSs in the past, MySQL/ACCESS etc.) I am getting an error when trying to run the following code when connected to the default instance on my PC. The code I am trying to run is:
create database Sales
ON
primary
(name = SalesPrimary,
filename = E:Sales_DataSalesPrimary.mdf,
size = 50mb,
MAXSIZE = 200,
filegrowth = 20),
Filegroup SalesFG
( name = SalesData1,
filename = F:Sales_DataSalesData1.ndf,
size = 200mb,
maxsize = 800,
filegrowth = 100),
( name = SalesData2,
Filename = F:Sales_DataSalesData2.ndf,
Size = 400mb,
Maxsize = 1200,
Filegrowth = 300),
Filegroup SalesHistoryFG
( name = SalesHistory1,
filename = F:Sales_DataSalesHistory1.ndf,
size = 100mb,
maxsize = 500,
filegrowth = 50)
LOG ON
(name = Archlog1,
Filename = G:Sales_DataSalesLog.ldf,
size = 300mb,
maxsize = 800,
filegrowth = 100)
I find I get the following error message:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near 'E'.
Msg 132, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
The label 'F' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Msg 132, Level 15, State 1, Line 22
The label 'F' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Anyone have any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Will

Hi 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
Sachin

Functionally, is there any difference between DATEPART for m, d, and yyyy, verses simply using MONTH, DAY, and YEAR functions respectively?
For all intents and purposes, they seem identical, so is there any performance considerations using one verses another?

I 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?
TIA,

Hi,
I have 3 tables that i gather a single field from each and put them into another table.. simple enough you might think
but when i start using a lookup funciton to check if i have already entered an item (this package could be run a number of times) some duplicates slip though, and as i continue to run the pakcage less and less appear, but never reaching 0
very strange..
doing select statements on the target table reveal strange behaviour.. after the first 'iteration' there are only unique entries in the target table (exactly what i want). After the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc duplicates appear of upper and lower case
i can only assume that there is something wrong with my query,,, but running it in SQL Manager reveals ~40,000 rows no matter how many times i run it...
more magically appear when hte same statement is ran in SSIS!!
I have tried a view, and using test tables (rather the live ones i am working on) and the reuslt is the same...
any help would be muc happreciated
regards
Chris

currently have my website that is functional...but would like to add some navigation to my photos which are displayed using a repeater tied to a SQL database. (live example can be viewed here)
the above link shows a gallery page that displays all the photos within a given shoot (using a querystring to display the unique ID of the photo shoot). When you click on one of the images within the shoot a page called is called displaying the selected photo by passing the shoot ID and the unique ID of the photo itself through a querystring.
I would like to add navigation to the page displaying the photo that would allow the user to go to the next photo, previous photo, first and last phot within the specific SHOOT ID.
FirstNextPreviousLast
I am using a repeater to display the photo with the following sqlDataSource:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Connection %>"SelectCommand="SELECT usr_Photos.*, usr_PhotoShoot.* FROM usr_Photos INNER JOIN usr_PhotoShoot ON usr_Photos.Shoot_ID = usr_PhotoShoot.Shoot_ID WHERE usr_Photos.Photo_ID = @ID AND usr_Photos.Shoot_ID = @Shoot"><SelectParameters><asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="" Name="ID" QueryStringField="ID" /><asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="" Name="Shoot" QueryStringField="Shoot" /></SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
I am having trouble figuring out a way to add the functionality i would need to change photos within the specific photo shoot without having to go back to the gallery page. any help or ideas you could point me in would be great...thanks in advance...

I am fairly new to MS SQL and an wondering if the following is possible;
Step 1 - person fills out a form on our website and submits it to our SQL DB via a stored procedure
Step 2 - the stored procedure inserts some of this information into a DB table and sends some of the information via the inbuild DBMail in an email.
Firstly, is this possible?
Sencondly, is there a way of encrypting this email before it is sent?

In one of my packages, I am trying to create functionality that is similar to the fuzzy grouping transformation in that it takes a set of records and returns a subset of unique records. However, rather than fuzzy-matching columns which creates significant overhead, I just want to compare columns exactly, similar to how the lookup transformation works. At this point, data has already been fuzzy unique/duplicate seperated, this step is to only keep one record for each exactly similar dupe for an alias table.
At the moment, I am doing this (with lack of scalability foresight) with a fuzzy grouping transformation with all columns set to exact except for one which is set to fuzzy with a minimum similarity of 0.99. While this worked during development when I was testing with a small subset of data, it is unreasonable for the ~5mil records of production data it needs to operate on.
I am sure there is an efficient way to do this. I have thought about using a lookup transformation or combinations thereof, but I have not come to a definite solution yet.
Does anyone have any experience doing something similar to what I am trying or have any suggestions/ideas/questions/etc? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding use of navigation controls in a report and exporting the report. For example using a drilldown functionality in a report. After the report is generated one can export the report in whatever format he wants (PDF,TIFF, XML,...).
In this case, with the drill down functionality in the report, the details of the report are visible only when the plus sign is clicked. Suppose now the plus sign is not clicked and one exports the report in a PDF or TIFF format.
In the PDF file, the navigation or the drill down functionality is now not useful right ? There is no way to view the detail fields of the report now, using the PDF file right?
Thanks in advance,

Hi All,
In my Report using SSRS 2005, I am displaying data using table and this table has table footer in which I am calculating "average" using Avg() function.The values in table rows can be either floating numbers (for eg; -1,-99,5.005) or "N/A". I use the following function to calculate Average
=Avg(Iif(Fields!Channel1.Value="N/A",CDbl("0"),CDbl(Fields!Channel1.Value)),"MainDS")
where "Fields!Channel1.Value" are values in table rows.
Everything works fine if all the table rows are floating point numbers and not "N/A", but as soon as table rows values are "N/A" I encounter "#Error" in the table footer.
Can anyone figure out how to get this code working. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have the problems with UserSort functionality. I have attached the report to show what I mean. textbox3 located in the table group has the following user sort property value:
<UserSort>
<SortTarget>table1</SortTarget>
<SortExpression>=Fields!CompanyName.Value</SortExpression>
</UserSort>
I expect that the sorting will be performed within the entire table(data in both of groups will be sorted alphabeticaly by company name).
Instead of it, the sorting is performed independently for every group of table. What is the reason??
Here is the report

For example, when a user enters an invalid choice into a report parameter box, I want a popup balloon that tells them to try again.
I know how to do this for a regular Winform combobox, but can I implement an interface to override the default behavior of the report parameter boxes?
