Dear all,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 as my backend application. I had strange experience on it, sometime some of my records suddenly disappear without any deletion action.I've check the log files and I've already set a trigger on deletion to copy the deleted record to a history table, but I found nothing. Are there anybody that have same experience like me ?
We are running SQL 7 with a front end that links to the tables through ODBC.In our main table, the user has no way to delete a record through theinterface, though it is possible to delete it by opening the ODBC link.Users would have no reason to delete a record, but one of our records turnedup missing.Now, it's possible that a user may have accidentally deleted the record.But, since users don't have any reason to delete records, and since theydon't access the ODBC links, it seems unlikely (though possible).I was wondering if anyone had every heard of SQL Server ever "losing" arecord that had previously been saved. I checked the nightly backup from thenight after it was added, and the record was there. So either a user deletedit, or somehow it got lost in SQL Server. I have no code that deletesrecords in this table in any way, shape or form, so it couldn't have beenmalfunctioning code.So, while I have a hard time believing that SQL Server would just "lose" arecord, I also know that anything's possible, so I thought I'd ask if anyonehad ever heard of such a thing.Thanks!Neil

Hi,
i've a store procedure has a strange behavior, As soon as created has a good performance , but after some times (indeterminated) it takes more time to be execute.... (up to 70s!!!)
The thing that i've not understood was if i take the query inside to the store i execute it separtely I get result immediately... :eek:
Dropping and re-creating procedure,it become newly fast... I've just scheduled a maintenance plan with index optimization and integrity check, but this seems doesn't work ...
Any idea?
Thanks .
I've got a project with 12 packages. One of them runnning and at the same time when I try to alter another one or even add a new task I see that all the tasks on toolbox are disabled.
Why?
I would like to hear a good reason for this behaviour, afaik I don't get the point...
I have a database that has a table with tons of data in it and it is getting close to the 999 days before it starts deleting the oldest records. Is there a way to allow the table to keep all of the information? I don't think there is, so here is my next question. Is there a way that I can move the entire table into another database to save all the information and start over with the 999 days? My main goal here is to not lose ANY information from any table from the database.
Also, I was thinking that when an entry is added into the main table, if it can also be added into the other table where I move the old data? I think a trigger can be used here, but I'm not sure how to do one in 2005. Thank you very much in advance for your help!!!

We run std 2008 r2. On my col heading text boxes and data text boxes i'm purposely picking only borders above and left in an attempt to get rid of what looks like a double border between text boxes.
The only places I see what appears to be a single thickness is the left of the 1st column hdg and data, and above any col hdg text box I set this way.
Also, when I pick .5 instead of 1 pt thickness, ssrs always puts it back to 1 pt.
How can I get the appearance of single thickness borders instead double?
We recently had a problem were a webserver lost connection to sql 2000 database after we put in a new router. When we failed back to old router it was able to connect to database again. It is using a non standard port 2125 to connect to sql database. Why would a new router cause connection problems to a database.

This is sort of a DR issue since it involves reboots and power failures.
We have MSSQL 2005 SP1 and unpatched systems, but in particular we have this problem still with the SP1 server (in addition to the unpatched systems). Running on Win 2k3.
It seems that upon reboot, our stored SSIS jobs lose their pemissions and/or ownership for execution. It doesn't happen at every reboot or power failure, but seemingly more than half the time.
Here is the error reported:
The job failed. The owner () of job Job_1 does not have server access.
But checking the properties of the job and it shows an valid owner in the Owner field. I believe we are using Active Directory for authentication and the user listed is valid in that respect.
We have "fixed" this problem before by removing the job completely and re-installing it, with the same owner. No issues until the next system outage.
Has anyone else seen this before? Is there a fix or is this some kind of bug?
Hi - quick question.
I wanted to upgrade pre-release version of SQL Express to the latest version, and wanted to make sure that none of the database information would be lost. The thing that concerns me is that it states to uninstall previous versions of SQL Server 2005 Express before installing the latest version. I threw the database tables into a backup directory, and I think this should be fine, but I want to be sure. Let me know. Thanks!
I'm having a problem with the XML Source data flow component not transferring the length attributes from an XML Schema to the column attributes of the output table.
An example schema that I have is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><data xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'><xsd:schema> <xsd:simpleType name='NameType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Name' type='NameType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:simpleType name='FamilyType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Family' type='FamilyType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:element name='row'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='Name'/> <xsd:element ref='Family'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name='data'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='row' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element></xsd:schema> <!-- data follows --> <row><Name>Fred</Name><Family>Jones</Family></row></data>
When I reference file in the XML Source data control, it correctly infers that there are two columns, but the length of the strings in the columns are set as 255.
This behaviour appears to be at odds with the SSIS documentation (SQL Server Integration Services/Integration Services Object and Concepts/Data Flow Elements/Integration Services Sources/XML Source), which states (highlighting mine):
When the data is extracted from the XML data file, it is converted to an Integration Services data type. The XSD or inline schema may specify the data type for elements, but if it does not, the XML Source Editor dialog box assigns the Unicode string data type (DT_WSTR) to the column in the output that contains the element, and sets the column length to 255 characters. If the schema specifies the maximum length of an element, the length of output column is set to this value. If the maximum length is greater than the length supported by the Integration Services data type to which the element is converted, then the data is truncated to the maximum length of the data type. For example, if a string has a length of 5000, it is truncated to 4000 characters because the maximum length of the DT_WSTR data type is 4000 characters; likewise, byte data is truncated to 8000 characters, the maximum length of the DT_BYTES data type. If the schema specifies no maximum length, the default length of columns with either data type is set to 255. Data truncation in the XML source is handled the same way as truncation in other data flow components. For more information, see Handling Errors in Data.
Has anyone had any luck in getting string lengths automatically extracted from an XML document? If so, where I am going wrong?

Michael
This is related to an earlier post, but I found out that I was able to see SQL Server counters in Performance monitor before applying the patch, but the counters were not present afterwards....
do I need to edit the registry ?
will my fetches on a cursor continue seamlessly even if deletes and multiple commits are occuring on the underlying source table? I want to make sure the cursor will not lose it's place as I believe some older dbms's did.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am running into an issue while executing a sproc from Excel VBA. Everything connects fine, and I am passing a parameter, however, after a few seconds, it seems like the connection receives a "completed" command and continues down it's code, but the sproc is still executing. The result is that I never receive the record set from the sproc.Here is the code snippet from VBA:
' Create Recordset objects.
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim prm As ADODB.Parameter
Dim sConnString As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strQry As String
Dim rowCount As Long
[code]....
And here is the sproc that is being called. the first thing it performs after the "IF" block (there are multiple steps that would consecutively be called after this, but all of the data hinges on this first step working) is a TRUNCATE statement. After running a SQL profiler while executing the VBA code, I consistently see an "account log out" entry; almost as if the connection from the Excel workbook is sent a disconnect instruction. The sproc continues to run and perform the rest of the script in the "IF" block, but the returned recordset is never returned back to Excel.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO

I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
Thanks.
Hey all!
Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.
Thanks in advance,
Johan
Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {
wsCon.close();
}
I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.
I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.
does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
Hi
Can anyone advise me as to how I can add the date and time to 2 columns in the sql server database for each record that is added. I'd prefer not to use the webform. Can sql server add the date automatically to the row?

Hi All,I have a table in SQL Server 2000 that contains several million memberids. Some of these member ids are duplicated in the table, and eachrecord is tagged with a 1 or a 2 in [recsrc] to indicate where theycame from.I want to remove all member ids records from the table that have arecsrc of 1 where the same member id also exists in the table with arecsrc of 2.So, if the member id has a recsrc of 1, and no other record exists inthe table with the same member id and a recsrc of 2, I want it leftuntouched.So, in a theortetical dataset of member id and recsrc:0001, 10002, 20001, 20003, 10004, 2I am looking to only delete the first record, because it has a recsrcof 1 and there is another record in the table with the same member idand a recsrc of 2.I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me achieve this!Much warmth,Murray

Could anybody help me with the following scenario:
Table 1 Table2
ID,Date1 ID, Date2
I would like to link the two tables and receive all records from table2 joined on ID and the record from table1 that has the most recent date.
Example:
Table1 data Table2 Data
ID Date1 ID Date2
31 1/1/2008 31 1/5/2008
34 1/4/3008 31 4/1/2008
31 3/2/2008
The first record in table2 would only link to the first record in table1
The second record in table2 would only link to the third record in table1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking for examples online to write a SPROC to get some data. Here are the tables.
Album_Category
AlbumCategoryID (PK, int, not null)

IsPublic (bit, not null)
Albums
AlbumID (PK, int, not null)
AlbumCategoryID (int, null)
Caption (nvarchar(max), not null)

-[Album_Category].[Caption]
-[Albums].[Single AlubmID for each AlbumCategoryID]
-[Count of Albums in each AlbumCategory]
I hope I was fairly clear in what I'm trying to do. Any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. I have a database with a record that has two columns locked. descrip1 and descrip2. they are both nvarchar(max) columns. These are the only two columns of the record that remain locked. I am certain no user is accessing the record. I have even moved a backup of the database to my testing computer and the lock still exists. How do I remove the lock from these two columns on that particular record.
I can edit these two columns on other records. I have researched "Unlock" on MSDN but it doesn't seem to apply to t-sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Gary.
I am trying to update a record in a table based off of criteria of another record in the table.
So suppose I have 2 records
ID owner type
1 5678 past due
2 5678 late
So, I want to update the type field to "collections" only if the previous record for the same record is "past due". Any ideas?
I have not yet succeeded in getting an aswer to this in a previous post, so I'll try again and rephrase the question
I have 2 fields, 1 called 'Created' the other 'Updated'
I would like to create a function, user procedure ,whatever in SQL something along the lines of...
FUNCTION myUID()
RETURN Date(Today)+Time(Now)+USERNAME
END FUNCTION
so that the value returned by the above pseudo code is something like '20080526T21:01:05.620SamL' where the date part is in yyyy0m0d format
I have got this working fine for the default 'Created' field but the calculated (and persisted) field comes up with something about being non-deterministic and refuses to play
Clearly something along these lines is a very straightforward requirement (I have it working fine in my 20+ year old database) , but have spent a week trying to get an answer (even from this forum) without success, so would be grateful for any help that you can provide me with to get round this barrier
