I am developing an application for a client who already has a liscensed SQL server running. They have a software package that requires an instance using "Windows Only" for the authentication mode. I need an instance to use "SQL Server and Windows" for my application to be able to speak with the server from other computers on their network (or at least I believe I do....).
My question is, "is there any restrictions on the 'number' of instances an institution can run on a computer that is liscensed to run the software"?
Alternately, if there is a limit, I need to figure out if it is possible to set up the application (VB6, btw) to connect to the server from outside the host computer if it is using "Windows Only" Authentication. The application will be installed on several computers in the client's network and I'm not familiar with how to dynamicly poll the 'current Windows Login' information.
It would be much simpler for the application to create a new instance with the desired authentication method, but is there a security issue in doing this? Would the data be any more at risk to outside corruption using the SQL server authentication mode?
I am reading SQL Server 2000 Black book (Coriolis publisher) and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Optimization guide (Jenney Lynne Fields PH publisher).
In the Black book page 56, it says :"..up to a total of 16 instances. In the optimization guide page 144, it says :"There is no theoretical limit to the number of instances of SQL server you can run simultaneously..."
Please help! I'm really stuck. I have a table (AssessorAllocations) that stores the data of students who have submitted assessments for marking by an Assessor. Each time an assessment is submitted by a student my program must determine which Assessor has the smallest workload and then assign the current assessment to that Assessor. My problem is how do I determine which Assessor has the smallest number of assessments assigned to him/her.
So I'm looking for something like this: Select AssessorRegistrationNo from AssessorAllocations where {Select the Assessor who has the smallest number of AssessmentNames assigned to him/her where Marked='0' and DateAssigned<>''}
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0 I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance. Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance. So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default instance Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
I have to implement some logic in a view and I don't know how to do it. Let me outline the logic:
- I'm working with a view where records represent participant activities. - Some participants can have numerous activities. - Each activity has a start date and an activity code. - Only records with activity code 23 or 33 appear in the view currently.
What I need to do is NOT include records where the participant has another activity with code 26 (from another table, the one the current view is derived from) which has the same start date as the activity 23/33 record in the view currently. Also, this should only be implemented if the start date is the first start date (minimum start date for that participant).
I've noticed that there are a lot of questions on this forum, but not as many thank you's. I'm far from a DBA (more of a simple, small town, one stop shop), but have learned tons of information from reading your posts. I certainly appreciate everyone's willingness and excitment to contribute to the SQL community. So here's to you...thank you!

this query works, i want to add a 4th column that is the value of the 3rd column subracted from the value of the 2nd column, how can i add this?? SELECT `tagid` AS w1, (SELECT count( `value` )FROM tagsWHERE `value` =1AND `tagid` = w1) AS w2, (SELECT count( `value` )FROM tagsWHERE `value` =0AND `tagid` = w1) AS w3FROM tagsWHERE `value` > -1GROUP BY `tagid`ORDER BY w2 DESC
I know thsi is a silly question but gonna ask it anyway :)
When you are using the 'insert' statement to insert records in to a database are all of the fields in the db table required for a successfull adding of a record.
Just that i have 16 fields in my db table and want to insert only 11 fields in to the new record and it is giving me an error, and i am sure my SQL is correct
I just need something verified.. This has to do with IP's and names. We have a sql failover cluster. So is that 4 names.. One for each local machine, one for the cluster itself and one for the sql portion? I guess my question is can the cluster group and sql have the same name and IP or do they need to be different.
Does any one know a quicker way to get data in from TableA to TableB. Both tables have the same structure(Acct# varchar(9); Type varchar(12); Date1 datetime; Date2 datetime; Date3 datetime; Date4 datetime; and Date5 datetime No Nulls allow in Acct & Type field.
TableA has 5.5 Million Rows and TableB has about 1 million rows , I wrote a Stored Proc using cursor to select from TableA insert into TableB if the Acct# and Type doesn't exists.
I didn't want to use bcp because I only wanted rows(Acct#'s) that exists in TableA that where not in TableB. My procedure is working but at a rate of 100 records per minute. Any suggestions?
I have a client that's insisting on deploying SQL Server 2000 as Windows Authntication mode only (not mixed mode). I've always done mixed mode in the past and I'm just looking for some input here. So, what's everyone think?
try to guess what the result is for this query before you run it:SELECT 123.654, 123d6, 123e4, '123'e4comments welcome, but please do not spoil it for anyone who hasn't tried it yet
For a query like below ... How do i have to select only the latest revisions, if i need to filter last current revisions of each document ... where the revision could be either alphabetical or even numerical ...
Presently I get all revisions with the below query ... Note: csd_revi is the field of CSD table for revisions.
I asked a question over the weekend and got a answer very quick. I'm new to stored procedures and have to do a insert into two tables. I need to insert into the first table (Journal_log). This table has a colunm ID that is Identity is set to yes. After inserting that record I need to retrieve the ID from the Journal_log that I just inserted and insert it into the second table (District_Journal) with data for a new record into the second. Can this be done in one stored procedure or do I have to have two?
Table Individuals IndividualID (PK) Initials First Last
Is there an efficient way to query for a list of tests with the PretestTech,PostTestTech,and Project manager initials? I guess I'm stuck because I want to Join the Test and Individual tables but there are three fields that need to be joined. So this is the only way I can think to make it work:
SELECT TestID ,TestInfo ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.PretestTech) AS 'PretestTech Initials' ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.PostTestTech) AS 'PostTestTech Initials' ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.ProjectManager) AS 'ProjectManager Initials' FROM Test
Is this efficient or should I rethink my Table design?

I am trying to run a batchfile or a external process ( exe ) from within a Script Task and read the process status returned by the process. Is there a sample VB script code that does this that you guys can share ? What modules do I have to Import ?
Has anyone encountered this error message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Managr] Driver does not support this function? This occurs when importing data. The company I work for upgraded to Server 2005 and now what once worked fine now has an error. Any suggestions?
Just a quick reality check. If you have a bunch of files that have a timestamp as part of the filename, the only way to find the newest file is to use a script, correct?
Is there anyway to predict what a customer is likely to buy based on their purchase history?
What I would like to do is something simliar to using a natural prediction join with multiple union selects, but with data supplied from my purchases table.
So I need something like this:
Code SnippetOpenquery([ds], 'SELECT DISTINCT [PurchasedProductID] FROM [Table] WHERE [CompanyName] = 'a')
To work like how this works:
Code Snippet(SELECT (SELECT '1234' AS [ProductID] UNION SELECT '12345' AS [ProductID]) AS [Table])
