Hi
Could anyone tell me why i get Error when i execute the following code:
----------------------
declare @a money
set @a=121.23
print @a
Server: Msg 257, Level 16, State 3, Line 5
Implicit conversion from data type money to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
---------------------------------------------
isn't that , money data are like integer data? so why i should use type casting?
By the way is it necessary to use currency symbol when we are working with monetary data or not?
After creating this package i found that 'InventTable" is not set to OLE Db Source component. where as i can set name to OLE DB Flat File destination component.
What I want to do is remove part of a result from a query. I am selecting the srvname from sysservers as follows.
SELECT srvname from sysservers Where srvid ='0'
When the name is returned some times it might be like servernameinstance. What I need to do is cut off the and everything after that so that my result is just servername. I am then using this result in a cursor to go after server shares. The length of the servername varies. Any suggestions.
Hello: I'm scheduling DTS packages to run as a job but when I do that, the job siply does not works, someone tolds me that it's a problem with the SQL and Windows NT authentication and security and he gaves me this URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q269074. but it not so clear to me, i'm working with SQL Server 200 and Windows Server 2000.
Currently I am using the BCP functionality to import/export tables between different SQL Server 2005 databases. The process is working ok, but it creates alot of manual work, when 70 or more tables need to be transferred, every week. I am new to RMO development and am interested if the following may be possible.
- I would like to build an interface in VB.net allowing users to select a source database, and select the tables that need to be transferred from the Source DB, to the Destination DB.
-Put in place RMO funtionality to replicate the source database tables into flat files.
-Within the Vb.net app transfer the created flat files into the destination database.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this, or if there may be a better approach at replacing the BCP functionality.
Need help from experts on web service (ReportingService class).
I am trying to change a datasourcereference of a report from one location to another location. I am kind of stuck at this point where i am able to get the location but only dataSource.Item, dataSource.Name are not enough items for me to solve this problem.
any possible help or any threads already answered these type, greatly appreciated.
Hi!I want some tutorials on how to actually program database applications. Everything seems so bound with the data controls provided by Visual Studio and coming from PHP I don't like to not have full control over my applications. So where can I learn about creating my own database applications without using repeater, gridview or formview?Thank you in advance!
I need to create a database with one table and its column names. I got this script from the query analyzer templates as a database basic template: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name = N'<database_name, sysname, test_db>') DROP DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db> GO
CREATE DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db> GO
I am not sure what it all means, what I need to do it name the database a certain name each time. and then create one table with 6 column names.
Currently, I am running the code in an Access/VBA module through an ODBC connection, but I would like to be able to run all my code directly on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
What do all of you use to create and edit stored procedures? I am looking for a better way to code than to use the default window supplied with Enterprise Manager.
Do most of you use the Query Analyzer? Are there third party products you like using better?
I am looking into a production geared software called MassGroup. (www.massgroup.com) It says that its FactoryServer builds are on a standardized SQL framework and web architecture for data collection, work order requests, reporting and asset management. My questions are:
1. Is SQL its own programming language? If not what is it? Answer: After going thru several pages and reading the fine print I discovered they use VB, ASP, COM technology, and Crystal Reports.
2. How powerful do you think this would be at gathering data and does it have the capability of creating a number sequence automatically? (example: 0001; 0002; 0003...)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!!!
I have just started in Sql 6 months ago. I was an IT major in graduate school and am now in my late 30's (career change). It took me 4 years to finally get what I thought was my dream job. Well, I was promised training which I have yet to receive and bascially went from doing basic queries that I did in class in college to doing advance Sql - stored procs, etc. I completely hate it. I do not know if it is from the lack of training or if it just not for me. I am completely bored out of mind. I am also tired of struggling everyday to complete assignments. The first 2 assignments I received were way out of my league. I was told this by a project mgr who did a similiar assignment and they have years of sql experience and it took her 3 months with assistance to complete it. I have been with the company for almost 6 years. I am not sure if I should just complete my current assignments and ask if they can reassign me to a different IT department, look for a new job or just continue to struggle and pull my hair out. Please give me some feedback as to how you would handle this situation.
I need to know what exactly other languages [C#/VB.net/ADO/XML/ASP.net..etc] that I should learn in order for me to be able to excel in SQL Development.
I started getting my hands dirty with some SSIS / SSRS & SSAS, but inorder for me to handle situations such as [Find if file exist in ftp before loading, Checking a certain row of a data file before processing/ Zipping and Unzipping data files and etc...] What should I need to know well in order for me to add more value to my skills? I would like to learn 1 language and master it pretty well.What are your suggestions?
And what is this CLR that is being talked about ?Does it use other language besides SQL?
Are there any good resources (books, websites, etc) for programming SQLServer using Visual C++? I am currently using C# but I really want to learnhow to do it using C++, but it appears to be much more difficult using C++.Thanks
I know how to basically change SSIS variables from within a C#. NET winform application. But can anyone point me on how to change the contents of a connection manager SSIS connection from withing C#.net please. That is..how do i parameterize a connection manager connection to basically accept the connection information from within the winform app.
Hey, i have an installer that places ms sql express onto a machine. thats is fine. i want to create a post setup application that runs after ms sql server is installed. what for example i want to do is be able to create a user and have the DB allow remote connections. i can provide instructions for a 'peon' to make the required post setup changes but i want to see if i can cover that with an application. thanks
I am working on sql server integration services..New to this topic...I want to transfer data from flat file to sql database by doing it programatically.Creating source,destination and transform adapters
my basic question is should the source,transform and destination adapter be bulid for each file i am trying to transfer.
Not sure if this is right place to ask this. I have a table where I want a single field to show up in separate columns. (wow its hard to describe what I want. Here is an example
Store_Group_Product_Tbl store, group id, product
Let's say we have these records: Store 1 - group 1 - hats Store 1 - group 1 - clothes Store 1 - group 1 - shoes Store 1 - group 2 - drink Store 1 - group 2 - food
I want my select statement to return:
Store 1 - group 1 - hats - clothes - shoes Store 1 - group 2 - drink - food - NULL
(and in this case I will be selecting on where store = a selected store)
Is there a way to join it back to itself to get the data I want? Or will I have to select everything into an array and then manipulate that array to get everything columned up correctly?
I am trying to bring the data from Oracle to SQL Server. And, I need to write this in C#. All that I have is a source table in Oracle and a source table in SQL Server. I need to have some samples.
I am working on Sql Server 7.0 with a group of Visual Basic programmers that have made the following request:
1.They want all decimals/integer fields in the database to default to 0(zero). Is there an way to do this for all fields instead of on an individual basis? 2.They don't want a null returned on any character string field.
What is the best way to take care of these 2 requests? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram
Hi- Can you give me any help/assistance on the development process involved with migration from MS Access to SQL Server 7. Specifically, I need my current MS Access data migrated to SQL, and then I need two (2) fairly simple forms developed for data input and searching on the web. The developers I have been speaking too seem to want to buy their Hawaiian condo from this one project...which seems like A LOT OF $$ for the development of an off-the-shelf product that costs $15,000. Any leads and/or thoughts would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS.
Is it possible to tell sql server to cast to a datatype and set thefield length to a variable.e.g. :-declare @flen intset @flen = 10select (cast somefield as char(@flen) newfield)into newtablefrom sometableI have also tried :-select (cast somefield as char(max(len(somefield))) newfield)into newtablefrom sometableWhen I try the above examples I get error in @flen; error in maxrespectivly.TIASimon
I cannot seem to find a group where this question would fit so I amposting it here. I have what I believe is a unique situation. I amusing SQL Server Analysis Server to build a cube of "snapshot"month-end type of data. This data is from an instance of MicrosoftNavision and I have successfully used SQL-DMO and DTSPackage Libraryobjects to allow the user to rebuild the cube through Navision. Thisis accounting data and as such, the accountants want to be able toarchive this data by month. I know through Analysis Server Managerinterface I can copy the cube and save it to a different name.I would like to know if there is a way to programmatically save a cubeto a different name with some type of automation object?Thanks
here is my code sample i'm using to do a web merge replication .
this code run perfectly in a windows application, however when i try to do it in a Web Service, i get the error
System.ApplicationException: The subscription could not be synchronized. Verify that the subscription has been defined correctly. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ComErrorException: The system cannot find the file specified. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergeSynchronizationAgent.Run() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergeSynchronizationAgent.Synchronize() at ReplicationWebService.ReplicationService.Synchronize() in D:DataSamiWin DevelopmentAlsicoNet.rootDocumentsAnalysesTechnicalReplicationReplicationWebServiceReplicationWebServiceReplicationService.asmx.cs:line 91 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
. I might think it would be a matter of identity running the web process.
MergePullSubscription subscription; MergeSynchronizationAgent agent; // Create a connection to the Subscriber. ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(subscriberName); try { // Connect to the Subscriber. conn.Connect(); // Define the pull subscription. subscription = new MergePullSubscription(); subscription.ConnectionContext = conn; subscription.DatabaseName = subscriptionDbName; subscription.PublisherName = publisherName; subscription.PublicationDBName = publicationDbName; subscription.PublicationName = publicationName; // If the pull subscription exists, then start the synchronization. if (subscription.LoadProperties()) { // Get the agent for the subscription. agent = subscription.SynchronizationAgent; // Check that we have enough metadata to start the agent. if (agent.PublisherSecurityMode == null) { // Set the required properties that could not be returned // from the MSsubscription_properties table. agent.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Integrated; agent.DistributorSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Integrated; agent.Distributor = publisherName; agent.HostName = hostname; // Set optional Web synchronization properties. agent.UseWebSynchronization = true; agent.InternetUrl = webSyncUrl; agent.InternetSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard; agent.InternetLogin = @"AlsicoVirtualMergeAgent"; agent.InternetPassword = "xxx"; } // Enable agent output to the console. agent.OutputVerboseLevel = 1; agent.Output = ""; // Synchronously start the Merge Agent for the subscription. agent.Synchronize(); } else { // Do something here if the pull subscription does not exist. throw new ApplicationException(String.Format( "A subscription to '{0}' does not exist on {1}", publicationName, subscriberName)); } } catch (Exception ex) { // Implement appropriate error handling here. throw new ApplicationException("The subscription could not be " + "synchronized.
