Dynamically Change The Servername
May 10, 2006Hi all,
I've created 1 solution and added all my packages in different projects (like DIMENSIONS, SOURCES_SAP, ...).
For each project I have a Data Source that connects to the server. The problem is that when I want to deploy a package to the server that I always need to change the Data Source before deployment.
Before SQL Server 2005 we used a connection file (which was located as well on the server as on the development pc's in the same locations) within our DTS packages. This way we didn't had to change the connections when deploying to the server.
My intention was to use the current configuration from the configuration manager(development / production) to select the servername. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed to retrieve it's value from a variable script.
I need to have a solution that dynamically changes the datasources for multiple packages depending on a specific action.
How can I achieve this the easiest way ?
Thanks in advance !

How To Change Configured Value For The ServerName Property Of A Connection Via DTEXEC
Feb 1, 2007I am launching a package the following way:
DTEXEC.EXE /SQL "ProcessReportingDatabase" /SERVER RTG23SQLDB01 /REPORTING V /SET "Package.Variables[User::RunID].Value";35 /SET "Package.Connections[RSAnalytics].Properties[InitialCatalog]";"Fnd Prj 1 Dec29" /SET "Package.Connections[RSAnalytics].Properties[ServerName]";"RTG23SQLDB01UAT1PROD"
The problem does not happen with the [User::RunID] variable or the [Initial Catalog] property of my [RSAnalytics] connection object. But I am not successful in setting the [ServerName] property.
What happens when executed is that the package retains the ServerName property of the deployed package (Value="RTG23SQLDB01UAT1QA"), instead of what I pass in via DTEXEC???
Is ServerName read-only or something? I've tried configuring the package connection to RTG23SQLDB01UAT1PROD and creating a package configuration that I specify in place of the /SET - but to no avail as well!
This package has to work against 10 instances. I really don't want to have to create a separate package for each instance, and then a hack to figure out which one to call.
TIA - Dave
Proper SQL Backup Procedure
Mar 18, 1999Greets!
I have been told that simply stopping the SQL server service and backing up the data directory is all I have to do to do a backup of my data. Is this accurate?

Proper Use Of IF Statement In Stored Procedure?
Dec 12, 2005I'm trying to handle a stored procedure parameter. What needs to happen is that a particular statement shouldn't be executed if the parameter is empty. However, when I try it I get the following error:Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.So, what's the correct way of doing the following?IF @filename <> ""BEGIN UPDATE Experimental_Images SET contentType = @contentType, filename = @filename WHERE (id = @iconNo)END

Mar 26, 2008Hi..
I created a publication on my server and I just clicked the box to include all of the stored procedures. If I add a new procedure, will that procedure also be included? Or will I have to modify the publication for each SP I create?
Thanks!

Why @@servername Is Not Showing The Servername?
Feb 27, 2008
Hi
I have explicitly used
Exec SP_dropserver and
Exec SP_Addsserver SP's to drop and add a SQL server.
After that i restarted the sql server service. After that, when i used the query
select @@servername, it is returning NULL.
But, when I used Select Serverproprty('servername'), it is returning me the correct servername.
Can i know as why this behavior is exhibited for the same property of finding servername?
Thanks!
Peculiar Behavior In Stored Procedure (outputs Are Returning Proper Vals For Uniqueidentifiers And Ints, Not Nvarchars)
Apr 27, 2005Rather than the real code, here's a sample we came up with.
Here's the C# Code:
public class sptest : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;
private DataSet dtsData;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
string strSP = "sp_testOutput";
SqlParameter[] Params = new SqlParameter[2];
Params[0] = new SqlParameter("@Input", "Pudding");
Params[1] = new SqlParameter("@Error_Text", "");
Params[1].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
try
{
this.dtsData = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SIM_DSN"], CommandType.StoredProcedure, strSP, Params);
Label1.Text = Params[0].Value.ToString() + "--Returned Val is" + Params[1].Value.ToString();
}
//catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ex)
catch (Exception ex)
{
Label1.Text = ex.ToString();
}
}
Here is the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [user1122500].[sp_testOutput](@Input nvarchar(76),@Error_Text nvarchar(10) OUTPUT)AS
SET @Error_Text = 'Test'GO
When I run this, it prints up the input variable, but not the output variable.
Change Database With A Different DB On Server X That Is Being Replicated To Server Y
Nov 16, 2015I have Transaction Replication setup on a Server X. Server X is publisher and distributor. Server Y is the Subscriber.Everything works perfectly. But I need to change the Database with a different DB on Server X that is being replicated to Server Y. I have following questions:
1- Do I create a new distributor on Server X and delete the current distributor?
2- Create a new Replication Setup on Server X and Y ?
3- Delete the subscriber DB on Server Y (Subscriber) ?
4- Can I just disable the current setup on Server X and Server Y instead of deleting it
The Old Inability To Toggle/change/switch Between ALTER PROCEDURE &<---&> CREATE PROCEDURE Bug (or Is It A Feature?)
Apr 1, 2007Keep in mind this is my first compiled SQL program Stored Procedure(SP), copied from a book by Frasier Visual C++.NET in Visual Studio2005 (Chap12). So far, so theory, except for one bug (feature?)below. At some point I'm sure I'll be able to laugh about this, akinto forgeting a semi-colon in C/C++, but right now it's frustrating(time to sleep on it for a while).Problem--For some reason I get the error when trying to save files where twotables (called Author and Content), linked by a single key, form arelationship.By simple comparison of the source code in the textbook and my program(below) I found the difference: instead of, like in the textbook, theStored Procedure (SP) starting with "CREATE PROCEDURE", it*automatically* is (was somehow) given the name of 'ALTER PROCEDURE'and I cannot change this to "CREATE PROCEDURE" (you get an error in MSVisual Studio 2005 Pro edition of "There is already an object namedXXX in the database", see *|* below). No matter what I do, the SP isalways changed by Visual Studio 2005 to 'ALTER PROCEDURE'!!!(otherwise it simply will not save)Anybody else have this happen? (See below, others have had this happenover the years but it's not clear what the workaround is)Keep in mind this is my first attempt and I have ordered somespecialized books on SQL, but if this is a common problem (and Isuspect it's some sort of bug or quirk in VS2005), please let me know.Frankly I think SQL as done by VS2005 is messed up.Here are two Usenet threads on this problem:(1) http://tinyurl.com/2o956m or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...1454182ae77d409(2) http://tinyurl.com/2ovybv or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...9e5428bf0525889The second thread implies this is a bug--any fix?Also this bug might be relate to the fact I've switched (and notrebooted) from Administrator to PowerUser after successfully changingthe permissions in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (see thisthread: http://tinyurl.com/2o5yqa )Regarding this problem I might try again tommorrow to see if rebootinghelps.BTW, in the event I can't get this to work, what other SQL editor/compiler should I use besides MS Visual Studio 2005 for ADO.NET andSQL dB development?RL// source files// error message:'Authors' table saved successfully'Content' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Content_Authors'.The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint"FK_Content_Authors".

Change Database In Procedure
Apr 4, 2008I work at a medical billing office. We provide billing services for a number of clients. The primary billing software runs on a big AIX system, but for reporting and a few other things we get a daily dump into sql server. The way the dump happens each client get's their own database in sql server. This works great for reports that go to individual clients, but it can be a real pain for internal reports that cover all clients. We end up with sql code that looks something like this:
SQL Code:
Original
- SQL Code
ALTER PROCEDURE ProceName
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #Temp
(
Client varchar(5),
FieldName varchar(20),
OtherField int
)
DECLARE @Client varchar(5)
DECLARE @SQL varchar(8000)
DECLARE curAll cursor FOR /*SQL Code to get Client list here */
OPEN curAll
FETCH NEXT FROM curAll INTO @Client
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
Set @SQL =
'SELECT ''' + @Client + ''', *'
+ ' FROM dump_' + @Client + '.dbo.TableName t'
+ ' WHERE t.FieldName=''somevalue'''
INSERT INTO #Temp
Exec(@SQL)
FETCH NEXT FROM curAll INTO @Client
END
--send results to application
SELECT * FROM #Temp
--clean up
CLOSE curAll
DEALLOCATE curAll
DROP Table #Temp
END
ALTER PROCEDURE ProceNameASBEGIN CREATE TABLE #Temp ( Client varchar(5), FieldName varchar(20), OtherField int ) DECLARE @Client varchar(5) DECLARE @SQL varchar(8000) DECLARE curAll CURSOR FOR /*SQL Code to get Client list here */ OPEN curAll FETCH NEXT FROM curAll INTO @Client WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN SET @SQL = 'SELECT ''' + @Client + ''', *' + ' FROM dump_' + @Client + '.dbo.TableName t' + ' WHERE t.FieldName=''somevalue''' INSERT INTO #Temp Exec(@SQL) FETCH NEXT FROM curAll INTO @Client END --send results to application SELECT * FROM #Temp --clean up CLOSE curAll DEALLOCATE curAll DROP TABLE #TempEND
As you can imagine, this is a real pain. There must be someway to dynamically change the current database in the procedure and run the code there directly rather than creating a string and calling out to exec 50+ times. Any ideas?

Mar 30, 2001Hey folks,
Today's been way too much fun...
Someone changed the name of a machine in our department and now Win2k thinks the machine's name is (for example) "Fred", but if I do a select @@servername, SQL returns (again, for example) "Barney".
The machine's name started out as "Barney".
The last time this happened, it was on an NT4 box, and we just reinstalled sql and away we went.
This time, they reinstalled sql and released the box to the team, only to find out later that reinstalling sql didn't do squat this time.
Which brings me to the question: How do I convince SQL that it's really, truly supposed to be named "Fred"?
Besides that, what do I tell Wilma, Betty, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
: )
Thanks,

@@SERVERNAME Is NULL

I have a probleme with a replication.
I have two servers (serv1 and serv2); when i want to install a replication from serv1 to serv2, i receive this message:
1->2:Replication cannot be installed as @@SERVERNAME is NULL.
from serv2 to serv1; I receive this message:
2->1:If Replication is uninstalled, all publications will be
eliminated and the distribution database[if it exist]will be
dropped. After the process has completed, this session will be
disconnected from the SQL Server. Do you want to unistall
replication?
Please advice me..
@@servername Is NULL
Oct 19, 1998On one of my SQL Servers I have noticed the @@servername to be NULL.
Any Idea how to give it back the original value. Simple
>> SELECT @@servername = `MY_SERVER_NAME` will not work since I can not update the global variable
This prevents from instaling publishing on that server, among other concerns for the overall stability of the server.
Help appreciated,
