I am trying to a simple insert statement from a remote application
against a sql server 2005 database. To fix the problem I was having,
I had to grant the Login I was using the role of sysadmin. However I
don't want this user to have that kind of control, what would be the
best role to allow the user full access(including remoting) to only
one particular database?
I'm writing an application for Windows Mobile 5 / Pocket PC using VB.NET 2005. The database is connected using an instance of SqlCeConnection and updated by an SqlCeCommand.
The application can perform select queries on data originally entered into the database through Visual Studio, or perform update / insert queries at run time. Anything inserted or updated can be returned by a select query whilst the application is running, however, anything I have inserted or updated doesn't appear to be written to the SDF file and hence is not in the database after restarting the application.
Am I missing something that's different between performing queries on an SQL CE database on Pocket PC and an ODBC source in a normal Windows application?
Hi,
We have recently upgraded our production server from a dual pentium II 400mhz server with 384Mb of RAM to a triple 700mhz Pentium III system with 2gb of RAM . However, since switching over, all of our Access queries on the SQL7 databases are either running extremely slowly or not at all despite the DSN's being set up correctly . Does anyone have any ideas why, and more importantly, how I can resolve this???
Thanks

Hi,
Using SQL Server 2000, I need to perform date range type queries that involve my company's Fiscal Year, which is not the same as the calendar year. My company's Fiscal Year if from Sept 1 to Aug 31, where Aug 31st year determines the Fiscal Year. For example, since today's date is 09/20/2006, the current Fiscal Year is 2007.
An example of a typical query requirement:
Find all the sales figures to-date for the current Fiscal Year. So, a WHERE clause will consist of a date range query from 09/01/2006 to 8/31/2007.
Initially, I created a Function to find the current Fiscal Year based on the current date, by calling the GETDATE() function and passing the results to the following function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnGetFY (@CurrentDatetime datetime)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @FY int
IF (SELECT MONTH(@CurrentDatetime)) > 8
SET @FY = YEAR(@CurrentDatetime) + 1
ELSE
SET @FY = YEAR(@CurrentDatetime)
RETURN(@FY)
END
So, the view queries that involve the Fiscal Year call the above function.
However, these function calls drag down the VIEW query response time to the point where the time is either unacceptable or an ODBC Timeout occurs, even with Query Analyzer.
Is there a way to create a Global server parameter to hold the current Fiscal Year value, so function calls are not necessary? Or set Fiscal Year date ranges for a database or server system parameter?
Does anyone know of a efficent, response timewise, way to handle Fiscal Year date range queries?
Will appreciate the help!!!
One of the instance is hosted in a cluster node with 128GB of ram and 80 processors allocated to this instance...And last week, we had an issue with temp DB as it was full.We increased the drive space over the weekend.
Now whenever we connect this instance from other server through remote SSMS, we see, refreshing the object including connecting to this instance is very very slow...It takes more than 10 sec. Initially this was not the case. Even hear from end user that the application is performing gradually slow.
I check the network, fregmentation, settings across this instance, and all looks good.
How do I execute a query on a database on a remote server?
I'm clear how to execute queries on databases on a local server.
You simply execute:
select * from database_name.owner_name.table_name
Is there some way to set up a trusted alias to that remote database???

Hi,
I have succesfully created a Stored Procedure which runs under 2 seconds locally.
However when i run the same proc from another machine in the LAN, the response times vary from 5 sec to over 40 Secs and even occassionally times out.
My server is SQL 2005 Dev Edition (32 Bit) running on a Dual Core Box with 2GB memory.
Any Ideas why this would be happening?
Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.
I have an intermittent issue where some remote PC's occasionally fail to execute select queries that have a join or return multiple result sets, however simple one table select queries continue to work okay. When it does happen the PC's needs to be rebooted to get to work again. This may only happen some PC's while others continue to work away okay.
I am using a VB6 application and ADO to connect to the database and the error message I get is a General Network Error, Server Not Found when it fails to execute the query. I have ran SQL Profiler on the server and while simple select queries continue to run away okay, a query a join does not even seem to show up in the profiler. The program has been working fine for 15 years with 1000's of users and has only now become an issue on one site for a number of users. Have tried moving the database to a different server and swapping network cards on the local PC's but can't seem to find the cause. The processor and the memory don't seem to be under load, but I am not sure if there is something else in SQL that is causing it to hang under certain conditions.
There have been network analysts experts in to run scans on the network, but I have not had the results of this back yet. Other applications do not seem to be affected so if this analysis does not show up anything.
Hi there,
I am trying to create an un-attended SQL 2005 Express install. I have successfully made my own template.ini file to install SQL the way I like but I cannot find a way to make it install with the "Ad hox remote queries" option enabled.
Is there anyway to do this? I can't seem to find any switches in the INI file to allow this.
Thanks

Basically, I need to insert the wbs2 and wbs3 where it does not exist in each wbs1.
What I have now will find the values that need to be inserted for a particular project but I don't know how to go through each project and perform the insert:
Select * from PR_template Where Not Exists
(Select Wbs1, Wbs2, Wbs3 from PR where PR.WBS2 = PR_Template.WBS2
And PR.WBS3 = PR_Template.Wbs3 and pr.wbs1 = '123-456')
Order by wbs2, wbs3 asc

Hi. I'm trying to find out which "cases" have a new items added to our database. I have provided a sample layout.
ID ParentID Name CreateDate
358 2 SMITH, JOHN 3/3/2008 11:15:23 am
359 358 Invoice 3/5/2008 4:13:52 pm
360 358 Shipping 3/5/2008 5:11:09 pm
361 358 Receiving 3/6/2008 4:22:01 am
The main ID for this is 358. The invoice, shipping, and receiving items are child items. I would like to run a query that can report which cases have newly added items. This is hierarchical I guess and I'm quite lost. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help!

Hello,
I want to write a query that joins data in a different table based on a column value. The table is for a "Playlist" and holds play list items. The items can be video, audio, images, etc. The playlist table looks like this:
Table_Playlist
-----------------
ID (int)
MediaType (char)
MediaId (int)
Table_Audio
-----------------
MediaId (int)
Table_Video
--------------
MediaId (int)
If the Table_Playlist.[MediaType] column value = "Audio" then I want to join to the Table_Audio table. If the value = "Video" then I need the video table.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks
Hi,
I have got a column with the string "I too Love Sql Server". I am trying an output as shown below:
I want to divide this into 4 columns :
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
I too Love Sql Server I.t.L.S.S
The Column 4 contains the first letter of each word. If the string contains only 2 words, Eg: "Sql Server" then Column 2 will be empty and only Column 1,3 and 4 will be filled.
How do I do this?

Hello All,
I am tackling with unique request. I have to download the ".zip" files from the https and uncompress them. Now, the fetch process works fine when I am downloading the files. Using .net and .IO namespaces from system library.
Similarly after downloading I have to uncompress the files as these files are treated by compressed file folders by windows xp. I know it can be achieved by using the IO.compression class form system namespace.
But the only trouble here is IO.compression supports ".gz" and "Gzipstream.Uncompress" and I wonder how I would be able to get the ".zip" and "Zipstream.uncompress" done.
Thanks a million in all your help and advice. Also I appreciate for your time.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way, including third party tools, to replicate a design change on a table across many different databases. I have written an ASP script that allows me to copy multiple tables to multiple databases in one go but I need something that will allow me to replicate the design of a table by comparing source and destination tables. So far I have scripted most of it but I have no idea on which system table to get the identity information and it seems there must be an easier way!
Any help would be appreciated,

I have checked the permissions on the network drive and is seems ok. I use the following command to try to perform the backup: "DUMP DATABASE RSA3 TO DISK = `Rss4DataRSA3_Dump.Dat WITH STATS = 10, INIT". Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have listed below a sql statement generated by a MS Access query. The Access is the frontend, using a SQL Server 2005 View as the backend. I have already corrected the obvious differences between Access and SQL Server syntax, such as replacing UCase$ with UPPER,
replacing '_' with '.' between the db owner and view name, replacing IIF with IF, and replacing "D" with 'D' and "E" with 'E', but it still generates syntax errors (of course, with no explanation). As you can see, it is SUMing a field based on whether the value is 'D' or 'E', then using those calculated values to calculate a percentage. Can anyone out there let me know what I'm doing wrong?
SELECT dbo_vwDisplayUserList.DEPT_DESC, Sum(IIf(UCase$([Essential_Code])="D",1,0)) AS Department_Essential, Sum(IIf(UCase$([Essential_Code])="E",1,0)) AS EOC_Essential, Count(dbo_vwDisplayUserList.UserID) AS Total_Employees, Int([Department_Essential]/[Total_Employees]*100) AS [%Department_Essential], 100-Int([Department_Essential]/[Total_Employees]*100) AS [%EOC_Essential]
FROM dbo_vwDisplayUserList

* Every process have a unique ProcessID and ave single parent process which is identified by ParentID.
* If a process does not have a Parent then its ParentID value is -1.
*Only single level of Parent-child hierarchy is maintained.
Can anyone please tell me the Query that uses Recursive JOINS to retrieve the ProcessID s based in following Conditions.
1. if the Parent's 'info' field contains given value then retrieve all the process under it.
2. Retrive all the process whose 'info' contains given value and excluding the Processes resulted from 1st conditiion

Hi,I am trying to concoct a query that will join rows on the basis of awhitespace insensitive comparison. For instance if one row has the value'a<space>b' and another has the value 'a<space><space>b' I want them to beconsidered equal (but not the same as 'ab')I am happy to do some T-SQL if that helps. Also I have a full-text index onthe column in question, but note that I am comparing rows against eachother, not to a fixed string.This is for a one-off job, so if there is no obvious way to do it on thedatabase, I will just bcp out the data and knock up some perl or somethingto do it. All other things being equal I would rather do it on the databasethough.Many thanksAndy

Hi,
I am having an issue when performing an FTP atsk to a remote site ( as opposed to internaly on a LAN )
I get the error "[Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager"] Error: An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: 200 Type set to IMAGE. 200 command successful 550 permission denied . "
I can manually FTP to this site from my machine, using either a CMD window or Windows explorer. I can create folders, deposit files, delete files etc so I seem to have full control. This task works when testing on our local FTP server on the LAN. The "Test" connection works when configuring the connection to the remote site. It is just at runtime that the task fails.
Can anybody come up with any ideas why this may be ?

Hello.
I have a car table, whose rows contain cars and their respective weight:
Ex: (1, 1000), (2,1100), (3, 900) etx.
I also have a car class table with the classes cars can fall into, based on a lower bound and an upper bound in which the car's weight must fit.
Ex: (Class1, 0, 999), (Class2, 1000, 1499), (Class3, 1500, 1999), etc.
I need to match each car to it's respective class. I've already search the database for post on this subject, but unfortunatelly my goal is yet to be reached. Can someone help?
