Task:
To insert entries into a table. The table has a primary key based on a field 'ID'. When inserting into the destination table, I want to make sure that the new entry will overwrite the old entry.
What's the quickest/cleaniest way to do this ?
thanks,
Clayton
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
any ideas on how i could do this easily?
thanks
I'm using RS2000 SP2 and am getting an issue when exporting to PDF. If I have a table that spans more than one page and I set the RepeatHeaderOnNewPage to True, then on occasion the table header will be displayed on top of the first few rows of data. It does not happen on all the pages or all the time and I can not find any information on this issue. Has anyone come across this before and solved it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but hopefully someone can help me. I would like to determine what the last automatically incremented ID is in a table I need to return it as a variable to a VB.NET program but I'm not sure what the SELECT statement would look like for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a small web application managing complaints. During multiuser testing we noticed that when complaints where added at "exactly" the same time one complaint text seemed to be over writing the other, and returning the current max value for table id as current complaint number.
I tested in my development environment and was able to recreate reasonably easily ( 1 go out of 3 recreated the issue ). The Id column itself is an auto increment ( primary key ), so I can't think of a concievable reason why one record should overwrite another. I should say that I am assuming the record is overwritten, perhaps there is a clash and one complaint is ignored by the database.
Have anyone encountered this in the past?
Thanks
I am very new to SQL, but I am now receiving a updates on a database from an online HD. My idea was that I could download the updated database and paste over the existing database in my SQL folder. For some reason that is not working. How should this database be updated. I would prefer not to have to drop and add everyday.
Possibly I could make a database that is not in any folder and then make an update to it from the newly recieved database, but I am not sure how that would be done.
When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten.
Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?

Hello,
I'm trying to create installer that installs database from empty backed up database.
The SQL script executed by installer:
RESTORE DATABASE [DU] FROM DISK = N'$TARGETDIR$DuTempDU.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'DU' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU.mdf', MOVE N'DU_log' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
There $TARGETDIR$ and $DATABASE_DIR$ are MSI variables set on runtime. The REPLACE flag is not set, but DU database (non empty )still gets overwritten with empty database. Do I need to check manually if database exists before trying to restore it?
Just hit a issue where we had a 40gb backup file for a database with an mdf of less than 2gb and tran log less than half a gb.
Noticed someone had set the backup for this database to append the backup file in stead of overwrite it.
Just wondering why would you want to append a backup instead of overwrite it?

We are trying to do some utilization calculations that need to factor in a given number of holiday hours per month.
I have a date dimension table (dimdate). Has a row for every day of every year (2006-2015)
I have a work entry fact table (timedetail). Has a row for every work entry. Each row has a worked date, and this column has a relationship to dimdate.
Our holidays fluctuate, and we offer floating holidays that our staff get to pick. So we cannot hard code which individual dates in dimdate as holidays. So what we have done is added a column to our dimdate table called HolidayHoursPerMonth.
This column will list the number of holiday hours available in the given month that the individual date happens to fall within, thus there are a lot of duplicates. Below is a brief example of dimdate. In the example below, there are 0 holiday hours for the month of June, and their are 8 holiday hours for the month of July.
DateKey MonthNumber HolidayHoursPerMonth
6/29/2015 6 0
6/30/2015 6 0
7/1/2015 7 8
7/2/2015 7 8
I have a pivot table create based of the fact table. I then have various date slicers from the dimension table (i.e. year, month). If I simply drag this column into the pivot table and summarize by MAX it works when you are sliced on a single month, but breaks if anything but a single month is sliced on.
I am trying to create a measure that calculates the amount of holiday hours based on the what's sliced, but only using a single value for each month. For example July should just be 8, not 8 x #of days in the month.
Listed below is how many hours per month. So if you were to slice on an entire year, the measure should equal 64. If you sliced on Jan, Feb and March, the measure should equal 12. If you were to slice nothing, thus including all 15 years in our dimdate table, the measure should equal 640 (10 years x 64 hours per year).
MonthNumberOfYear HolidayHoursPerMonth
1 8
2 4
3 0
4 0
5 8

7 8
8 0

I have a TEST database which contains 1 cube.
I have created another cube and I want to add this cube to the TEST database also.
However when I deploy the cube it overwrites the database with the new cube and the old cube is gone.
How can I have the 2 cubes within the TEST database.
I have a data dictionary report that is driven by measure and dimension description attributes in the SSAS project. Is there a way to generate some XMLA or something that allows me to update this "metadata" only without overwriting the database or requiring a full reprocess?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am tring to figure out how to simplify the process of populating a database created by an application with the same database, only with data already in it. So far i have created a backup of the database and used that backup file with SQL server management express to overwrite the existing database with that backup file on a new computer so the program will have data when initally installed for Demonstration purposes. I was hoping there was an executable script that i could use, so that when someone wants a demonstration of our product, they can see its options and functionallity with data available. Maby i am going about this the wrong way, i need to know if there is a way that when our program is installed an executable can simply be run to populate our database with a backup of our sample database. Any imput would be helpful.
Thanks.

We have one package in production. variable var_date has an expression already defined to it. How can we overwrite this variable value from config file or from cmd file. We don't want to make changes to the package and redeploy it.

here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the
backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?
I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.
TIA!
Hi,
I'm running a merge replication on a sql2k machine to 6 sql2k subscribers.
Since a few day's only one of the merge agents fail's with the following error:
The merge process could not retrieve generation information at the 'Subscriber'.
The index entry for row ID was not found in index ID 3, of table 357576312, in database 'PBB006'.
All DBCC CHECKDB command's return 0 errors :confused:
I'm not sure if the table that's referred to in the message is on the distribution side or the subscribers side? A select * from sysobjects where id=357576312 gives different results on both sides . .
Any ideas as to what is causing this error?
Can someone please help me solve the following error? I am not sure of the version my hosting company is using and where to get the manual.
Could not add the entry because: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', . The query was INSERT INTO blog_entries (blog-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', 'testing'.
PHP Code:
if ($dbh = mysql_connect ('localhost', 'blu6592_money', 'rich')) {
print '<p>Successfully connected to MySQL.</p>';
if (mysql_select_db ('blu6592_myblog')) {
print '<p>The database has been selected.</p>';
} else {
die ('<p>Could not select the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}
$query = "INSERT INTO blog_entries
(blog-id, title, entry, date_entered)
VALUES (0, '{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['entry']}', NOW())";
if (mysql_query ($query)) {
print '<p>The blog entry has been added.</p>';
} else {
print "<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>";
}
} else {
die ('<p>Could not connect to MySQL because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}
mysql_close();

(I don't post here often, so in case I'm violating long-standing taboosof this newsgroup, I apologize in advance for calling a relation atable, using nulls, and other ignorant, destructive, and comtemptibleterminology.)I have a table that's keeping a sort of running log of different typesof changes to pieces of data. The table has a foreign key of the databeing changed, the foreign key for the type of change occuring, someinformation about the change in a couple more columns, and a timestampfor each entry. So it's:dataIDeventIDeventInfotimestampWhat I'd like to do, if at all possible, is a single SQL query that,given a dataID, returns the most recent eventInfo and timestamp foreach eventID. Is this possible?Many thanks.-Eric

"High priority system task thread: Operating system error Exception 0xAE encountered."
we are seeing this on one of our development servers, running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1. The symptom is that after the sql service has been running a while (order of days), this error starts getting written to the sql server log file over and over, and eventually the logfile fills the drive.
Apparently it's fixed by this hotfix, but our ops team doesn't want to install this - they'd rather just cycle the service and delete the log when it happens.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen it might know the root cause so we might be able to workaround it without cycling the service. I know, lame question. The correct answer is "install the hotfix" or "install sp2" but our ops team won't do that for now...

Hello,
I have a table of names/dates as such:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 1 1/3/2007Class 1 1/5/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 2 2/3/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
What I want to do is select only the nearest entry from the list for each distinct class, so the results are like this:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
So basically, I want the first upcoming class in the list for each distinct class name. How do I do this? I'm using SQL 2005 Express.
Thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I know this is probably very simple but I am pretty new to this and have tried looking but cant seem to get the search criteria right. I have a database with a storeDate field which is of shortdatetime type. I am connecting to the database (MSSQL) via a stored procedure and returning all the records. I then use the code foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { DateTime dtTo = DateTime.Now; DateTime dtFrom = DateTime.Parse(dr["storeDate"].ToString()); TimeSpan diff = dtTo.Subtract(dtFrom); } I am basically trying to find out the age of the database entry by subtracting it from the current DateTime so i can delete records over a certain age. The problem (at least one of them!) is retrieving the "storeDate" object from the database and storing it in the dtFrom object. I have tried just assigning it directly as dtFrom = dr["storeDate"] and various other methods but I just don't know enough to assign it! Can anyone help me with this or spot any other mistakes in this process of removing old files automatically. Greatly Appreciated,Sean.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,I'm creating a database using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Comes with Visual Web Developer). The table which I am creating has the following Fields - all don't allow nulls:IDUserIdDateDescription(UserId is a foreign key to asp_net_Users as I am supporting user accounts)Basically what I need to do is create a page where I as an Administrator can log onto and enter just the text for the field Description. Then once I upload this I wish all users to visit the site and view this Description on a page however with it also listing the Administrator who wrote it along with the Date. I wish both of these fields to be added automatically (UserId to display the User Name and the Date to display the date and time with which the Description was added - However these need to be editable by the Administrator if he/she wishes to change them).Can anyone point me in the right direction on the steps needed to create this scenario?Thanks for any helpDaniel
