I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime.
I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted.
If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted.
Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00.
Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?
Ok, this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer I understand. In my SQL database I have a a table called MasterSkillList, to which the user can write by using a little web form with a text box and a drop down list. The table has 2 fields, Skill and Attribute. Skill is the primary key, as no skill can appear twice. What I want to do is prevent just that, I don't want people to enter the same skill more than once. So how do I tell the user that the entry allready exists in the database? My C# Code is as follows:1 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 2 { 3 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Skill"].DefaultValue = txtSkillName.Text; 4 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Attribute"].DefaultValue = ddlAbility.SelectedValue; 5 try 6 { 7 srcAddSkill.Insert(); 8 lblErrorMessage.Text = "The skill '" + txtSkillName.Text + "' has been added. It is based on a character's " + ddlAbility.SelectedItem + " score."; 9 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; 10 txtSkillName.Text = ""; 11 } 12 catch (Exception ex) 13 { 14 lblErrorMessage.Text = "An exception has occurred. " + ex.Message; 15 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; 16 }
We are running SQL Server 2005 express on Windows 2003. The database server gets significant amounts of data.
Because of the 4GB data limit we have a daily cron task which goes through and deletes data older then 90 days.
We would like a way to archive this data instead of deleting it. Is there any way to take data and compress it and store it in a different way, so that if needed, customers can query directly out from the compressed data? Cleary querying from compressed would be slower but that is ok.
Any other solutions that would allow us to archive data instead of deleting it? Thanks.
I have a table storing only 2 FKs, let's say PID, MID Is there any way that I can check distinct data before row is added to this table? For example, current data is PID MID------------100 2001100 2005101 3002102 1009102 7523102 2449 If my query is about to insert PID 100, MID 2001, since it's existing data, i don't want to add it. Can I use trigger to solve this issue?
Suppose I have a database storing some confidential information, such as legal information, medical or financial records, etc., and a Web site with a membership system so that only authorized users can view the information.
I understand I can encrypt the information, and the user's passwords, so that if the database is compromised it still shouldn't be possible for an outsider to view the confidential information.
However, what about people who have legitimate access to the database, such as the DBA, Web developer, etc., but who should not be able to view the confidential information? For example, even though the user's password was encrypted, what would stop the DBA from replacing the user's password with his own (encrypted) password, then logging in and viewing the user's info, then copying back the original encrypted password? Or, adding a new user for himself with whatever permissions he chooses?
1. How to estimate how many free RAM I need. If I plan to create five 2 Gb memory optimized tables...10 Gb RAM for data and how many additional memory?
2. How to prevent memory overflow if there will be too much data in those tables? I dont want that my server down entirely
How do i prevent other users from changing the data of my tables? Means one can change data using only my login rest others cannot even DBA or also from server administrator
If a user is a member of a role which would allow him to execute a proc which updates a table, and he is then granted db_denydatawriter , can he still update the table through the proc? SS2000 SP4.
Thanks,

Since posting this I tested the scenario and YES! The user was still able to execute an update proc even though the user excuting the proc was granted db_denydatawriter.

Hi, I have a stored procedure that looks like this:...WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0BEGINDECLARE @MyCount int ; EXEC spLoanQuestionnaireCriteria @AuditSelectedLoanID, @Criteria, @MyCount OUTPUTEND ...SELECT * FROM #Categories... Executing this stored procedure will return me 1 table for each time the EXEC statement is called that only has on column (MyCount)I really don't need this data to be returned, it is only used for some internal calculations in the stored procedureThe stored procedure should only return the results from SELECT * FROM #Categories in 1 table.Is there a Keyword I can use to exclude the EXEC results being returned to the dataset? Thanks in advance,Andre

I'm trying to find a way to maintain the data that was UPDATEd in a table from being overwritten.
I used UPDATE in a table to include missing data. However, since I do not have access to the original table from where the data is derived, when I run my query, it knocks out the data in my table that was updated, because it is linked to the orginal table that has the blank fields. A few users do not have an employee email, and this has to be updated with a personal email account for now.
My update works fine, but is there a way I can use the statement in my query so that it updates each time it is run to maintain the user email address? This will solve the problem of not having to change the original table that I do not have access to.
if exists (select * test..dbo.Employee) truncate TABLE test.. dbo.Employee insert into test.. dbo.Employee (EmployeeNumber , EmplUsername

I have a WCF service which is host in a console application for the time beeing. This service provide methods for retriving history data when request. So far so good.
My WCF service need also to know when a particular table (ALARMS tabel ) gets updated with DELETE, INSERT, OR UPDATE. This because my client application (WinForm) need to refresh a datagrid binding to that ALARMS table.
In other words my WCF servcie would send a callback event to my client when it as been notice for a change..
But my problem is how my WCF service can be notify from an update in my SQL table ? I have tried SQLDependency class, but I give up was not working properly...and hard to know the xact context you are runing on. Was thinking also of having a timer whcih pool every 1s by calling my tabel store procedure and verifiy is somerow ha changed....

I represent a software development house and we have developed a client server system based on SQL Server. Most of our customers have already purchased Enterprise License of SQL Server, therefore they own the SA Login and Password. We are bound to attach our Database with their Server on their machine.
My question is how can we stop a System Administrator of SQL Server to view our Database Structure, Queries, Data installed on their SQL Server on their machine.
Our database structure is a trade secret and we cant reveal the structure to the client.
please answer this question by email to me at farhandotcom@gmail.com

I have a transactional publication done between two databases on different Virtual machines connected with a network. I noticed that for some reason Every time replication is happening (which is every 2,5 seconds) my data is deleted on the target DB (subscriber) then re inserted.
this should not happen, old data should remain then only the new data should be inserted.
Within a trigger, I'm trying to create a unique table name (using the NEWID()) which I can store the data that is found in the inserted and deleted tables.
