I'm sort of new at MS SQL Server - I'm trying to gather system table information from multiple servers about backups on our site and insert the rows the query returns into a table on one central server where I'm running the stored procedure from. I have the server names stored into a table but when I attempt to connect to servers, I get an error which tells me that I need to create a linked server by using sp_addlinkedserver stored procedure. People that I work with tell me they want to do this without creating linked servers - Is there a way to accomplish? When I run the query, it only retrieves data from the local server I'm running the stored procedure on, but like I mentioned, when I attempt to connect to other servers, I get the error message that it couldn't find the server name in "syservers" and that I need to run sp_addlinkedserver. This also happens if I run the same query in OSQL from Windows command line.
Hello, i´m inserting values in a table defined as above,
/******** create table SERVICE_TYPE ( PK_TYPE numeric(8) not null IDENTITY, TYPE nvarchar(32) not null unique, DESCRIPTION nvarchar(256) null default(''), USER_VISIBLE numeric(1)not null, constraint PK_SERVICE_TYPE primary key (PK_TYPE) ) go **********/
these values are inserted throug ODBC with VC++, in the case of the DESCRIPTION Column, i´m sending null strings CString(""). this value will be filled after. What happens is that, when i query the database to show the records in this table, the database shows, for example:
I created linked server to Oracle 8.0.5 on ODBC data source. When I run query like: select * from linked_server_name..Schema_name.Table_name it hangs up I read in Books Online that the syntax is: linked_server_name.catalog.schema.object_name What is the _catalog_?
And also, is there a way to run PASS THROUGH QUERY against linked server, but not using OPENQUERY?

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.
The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.
Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.
Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.

Hi all me again I gotta question, the Sr executive asst has a number of reports that gets emailed to different department, only problem is those departments are on a totally different server. I am guessing that we need to start SQL AGENT Emailing MAPI to do this for us, of course I could be wrong. This is one of the stored procedures that creates one of the reports
CREATE PROCEDURE createSecurityListtobeEmailed AS SELECT SecurityListX."Last Name", SecurityListX."First Name", SecurityListX.MI, SecurityListX.Sex, SecurityListX.DOB, SecurityListX.IR#, SecurityListX."Issue Date", SecurityListX."Date served", SecurityListX.Duration, SecurityListX."Exp Date", SecurityListX."Reason for Exclusion", SecurityListX."Added Comment", SecurityListX.type INTO SecurityList FROM SecurityListX GROUP BY SecurityListX."Last Name", SecurityListX."First Name", SecurityListX.MI, SecurityListX.Sex, SecurityListX.DOB, SecurityListX.IR#, SecurityListX."Issue Date", SecurityListX."Date served", SecurityListX.Duration, SecurityListX."Exp Date", SecurityListX."Reason for Exclusion", SecurityListX."Added Comment", SecurityListX.type HAVING (((SecurityListX."Last Name") Is Not Null)) GO

The user puts an email address in the database and then presses a button (command button) that will execute a stored procedure xp_sendmail to a recepient.
