Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
Im trying to use VB.net 2005 to write a sample app to access a DB. Are there any samples for this and any samples of how I go about making the DB in the first place?
hi, please check this query and reply back with the appropriate solution. len(ltrim(rtrim(exec('select' ' ' + 'pay' +convert(substring(@y1,3,2), varchar 2)))))<>0 here the concept is concatenating two string then that result is used as column and retreiveing data.but this is considering it as string instead of column. can anyone give an appropriate solution.
This concerns SQL errors showing up unexpectedly and a "Sample" application.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 on a Dell 8600 Laptop. It is the only computer I own (or want to own) therefore, home networking not an option. A simple, stand alone computer is all I need or want, yet sometime around September or October '05 whenever I booted up, I was getting SQL error messages (e.g., missing SQLsvc file). While trying to find the problem, I was seeing indications in various places that Windows NT was my OS (what happened to Windows XP as my OS?). I'm not sure how all that happened, I certainly did not intend to make any such change.
I'm not a computer techy, nor do I have such an aspiration. However, I'm quickly discovering that in order to use a computer in any capacity, one must indeed become somewhat of a techy - like it or not!
So, I got rid of the SQL error messages from popping up at bootup and things seemed to be a bit more normal, but now (for the past 2 or 3 months), everytime I shut down, I get the pop up window that indicates a program is not ending properly and I have the option to "end now" or "cancel" to return to windows. The name in the title box of this popup is simply "Sample" -- no extension such as .exe (although I assume that's what it should be). I have no clue what this is and have searched every possible source to find the answer but to no avail. I suspect it has something to do with that blasted SQL thing that seemed to take over my computer. I searched the web for "sample.exe" and found that it may be a virus
"Virus Alert: W32.Nimda.E@mm The attachment received has been changed to: Sample.exe ... Emails itself out as Sample.exe Shared drives: Infects open network shares."
After reading the above link, I checked and, sure enough, I have this "W32nimda" file. A search as to how to eliminate it, led me to the Symantec website, which has a removal tool to download, along with 7 pages of instructions (did I mention that I did NOT want to be a computer techy?). I used Symantec antivirus 2 years ago and was glad to be rid of it, however getting completely rid of it seems to be another story and I truly wish I knew the secret to that (any hints?). I did not download this tool yet and not sure if I want to. Surely, there's an easier way! I have run my antivirus software (Trend Micro PC-Cillin), which finds nothing.
I seem to be getting away from the subject, although it all seems related, so I'll get back to the SQL question(s) which is, do I need it? If not, how can I get rid of it? Probably more information is required to answer this question such as how I use the computer, what applications, etc. Briefly, I do not create web pages and do not have a web page; no home network; do not play games or download music (afraid of that!); don't visit "taboo" websites. I do not have MS Word or any of the MS office line - Word Perfect 12 is my word processor. In November last year (at the same time all this started) my modem ceased to function, which I attributed to, unknowingly, plugging into a digital telephone jack at my office. I bought and installed another modem - which I could not get to work - took it back and bought wireless modem and router, which I installed and setup myself (with telephone assistance from router manufacturer, Linksys).
My web related usage is mainly research and email (a necessary evil, apparently). I also use the computer for photo storage and enhancement, graphics and Windows Media Player 9.
I apologize for this post being so lengthy, but I wanted to explain the problem with enough detail in the hope of getting a substantially beneficial answer (other attempts at other sites have been answered basically with "I dunno!" - and here's a surprise, I got the same "I dunno" from The Geek Squad at Best Buy!).
Thanks for taking the time to read all this - hope you can help!
Newbie in sql. Is the adventure works db sample compatible with the free sql compact edition, or is there a sample db for the compact edition? A link if possible could help. Was searching on microsoft' s website and was getting the sample for sql server and i have the compact ed. Downloaded the sample, tried to run it but nothing.
check to see if id and stdt from SCDTest1 exists in SCDTest2,
if yes, I would like to expire that row in SCDTest2 (change the enddt to today) and then insert a new record into SCDTest2 with stdt = today and enddt = 09/09/9999.
If no then I want to insert the row with stdt = today, enddt = 09/09/9999.
SCDTest2 will look like this after the run is complete.
SCDTest2
id stdt enddt price
1 01/04/2006 01/10/2006 100
1 01/10/2006 09/09/9999 900
2 01/04/2006 09/09/9999 200
I have come close by using the SCD wizard, but have been unable to figure out how to get the proper date updates to occur.
I'm looking for a sample database for a big company, organization,... to build my db project as a part of my db system courses. Can anybody help me? Thanks anyway.
Does anyone know of a site or a link which gives you sample SQL questions (mostly related to SQL queries) and answers?:) I am not a developer so I don't get problems (to solve) that easily:)
If its already available here, my apologies, I haven't explored that much.
i have a query that uses the adventure works sample database am working on sql server 2000 can i install this sample database to this sql2000 server? Best Regards

I have installed MS SQL Server 2014. When I try to attach the pubs database that I downloaded, I'm getting an error saying that its non-release version (539) is not supported by this version of SQL Server.
My question is: Is there a way that I can either get an updated version of the database from Microsoft, or update the one I have?
Hello, I just installed the FormsAuthentication Sample and when I goto http://localhost/reports I get the logon page and I can register the user id ok, but after that when go back and type my username and password and click logon it gives me this:

Can you give me complete sample of using your own class implemented IReportViewerMessages interface in ASP.NET Application? I have problems with this task.
We want to replace Access/ SQL Server Express/MSDE with a lightweight server with a small footprint, and I've got the assignment to evaluate SQL Server 2005 Everywhere using MFC. The application we want to replace the database in is MFC and not yet converted to VS 2005. I have no previous experience with OLE DB, and a very limited experience using MFC. I was hoping someone could provide me with a sample application using SQL/e with OLE DB, and some good references to getting started. If anyone knows of any good Libraries to simplify the implementation of OLE DB for me, that would be great. I'm currently looking into Express OLE DB Library from Sypram, but having some compilation issues.
I've tried to read the OLE DB tutorial at msdn library, but so far it feels very abstract and seems quite complex compared to ADO providers in C# which most of my exprience is from.
I tried using the MFC Wizard in VS2005 to create a single document application. When selecting the SQL Server 2005 Everywhere OLE DB Provider for Windows and then selecting a table from the data source, Visual Studio crashes with an unhandeled win32 exception (I've reported this bug at labs.msdn.microsoft.com). So I haven't really gotten a good idea on how to use the OLE DB driver for SQL/e.
Does anyone know if there are any plans on providing an ODBC driver for SQL/e? I haven't been able to find any so far.
Hi im a beginner in SQL. I installed SQL Server Express on my computer, but i didnt find any databases included. The institute where i go to learn SQL have plenty of databases, but students usually work on databases called AdventureWorks and GlobalToyz. I searched the web for these databases and found something but i still cant figure out what to do with it. So i was hoping if anybody could send me these databases with brief instructions on how to install it into SQL Server. Thanks in advance
Does anyone have any sample code for using ntext data type, when inserting or reading big block of texts? How can you read a big huge block of text back into c#?
I had installed the sample database " AdventureWorks ",but i couldn't find it in SQL Server Management Studio,and I noticed than it was installed into "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Samples" directory,but not "Microsoft SQL Server" directory,what can I do to find the datebase. I am a beginner,and learning sqlserver by using tutorials,someone help me? many many thanks.
I've downloaded from msdn and ran the samples. It installs something, but the database tree doesn't show up in sql studio. Is there a straight forward way to do something like import or restore a adventureworks database setup?
Though this is not directly a SQL related question but I could not think of some other forum to post this request. <y apologies if I should have posted elsewhere...
I need some sample data for a departmental store (like WalMart of KMart) which sell a wide variety of things and probably everything under the sun :)
I need data in such a manner that we have 4-5 levels of data hierarchy. For example we can have a data hierarchy like follows:
Classification Category Sub Category Product Group Item
The above is just an example but I hope that most of you already know what I neeed. An example of data based on the following hierarchy can be as follows (shown in a tabular manner)
Classification | Category | Sub Category | Product Group | Item --------------------------------------------------------------- Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| SONY Room entertainment box, 2 speakers 300 W each, .... Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| Phillips Boom Box, ...specifications.... Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Video| SAMSUNG DVD Player model SG-17X5 ... Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| T.V | SONG TRINTORN 51" ..... ... ...
I am needing to o exactly what Zippygoose says (with ordered ID numbers). How do yo make an insert statement that will make a loop until let's say the ID reaches 8000??
Thanks in advanced,
Edit: User needs to fill his tables with sample data. (Sorry for the edit, but I prefer to split this thread instead of continuing an old one (2003!!)).
We have 4 regions, currently we only have 3 servers in the field, and therefore only 3 regional id’s are being used to store the actual data of the pbx. The central server (RegionalID = 0) is holding the data for itself and the 4th region until the new server is deployed. It now has to be deployed and therefore the data migration for this region has to take place. I am trying to extract all the data for this 4th region (RegionalID= 1) from the central server database from all the relevant tables. When doing this I will firstly, have to check that the CallerID is valid, if it is, send that entry along with the result set, if it is not valid, Check that the dongle area code is valid, if dongle area is valid select with the result set, and if it is not valid, then check that RegionalDialup = ‘0800003554’ which is the dialup number for this 4th region (RegionalID = 1).

You see that the DongleAccessNumber is actually made up of three parts, and it is the middle part (ie.UQ) which i will use to check that the tbldongleArea.DongleAreaCode is valid for that region
I have a table named tblCodes, it contains all regions but I only need to select the codes for RegionalID 1 :

I have a table named tblRegionalNumbers which contains the following, as you can see the RegionalDialup for the fourth region = 0800003554:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tblRegionNumbers]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[tblRegionNumbers] GO
INSERT INTO tblRegionNumbers(RegionalID ,RegionalDialup,Region,UpdateStatus,RegionCode,LocalRegion) SELECT 1,'0800003554', 'North Eastern', 0, 1, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 2, '0800005027' ,'Gauteng', 0 ,2, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 3, '0800006194','Eastern', 0, 3, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 4, '0800004249' ,'Central', 0, 4, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 5, '0800201859','Southern', 0 ,5, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 6, '0800201989' ,'Western' 0, 6, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 0, '0800113515', 'HO', 1, 0, 1 UNION ALL SELECT 8, '0800222204', 'Tellumat', 0, 7, 0
Ok, I am dealing with the lnkPBXUser table at the moment,
I need to be able to join lnkPBXUser and tblDialupLog, then compare tblDialupLog.CLI to tblCodes.SubsNDCD + tblCodes.LocCD (when these two columns are concatenated the result will only be a substring of tblDialupLog.CLI. (this is to make sure that the CLI exists in tblCodes.)
If it does exist, then it is part of the fourth region and should be returned in the result set.
If it does not exist, I then need to check that tblDongle.DongleAreaCode is a substring of tblDialupLog.DongleAccessNumber.
If it is a valid DongleAreaCode for that region, then it is part of the fourth region and should be returned in the result set.
If it does not exist, I then need to check that tblDialupLog.RegionalNumber = ‘080003554’.
So from the above tables an expected result would be:
RegionalID pbxID userID 0 1012 17 0 543 2
Please assist, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards SQLJunior
I'm newer to MS SQL, but have a programming background, so I'm going to try to describe what I'm doing in that sense.
What I want to do is pull an entire column of data from one table, and insert it into a column in another table. Typically, I would do this with an array and while loop or something similar. I've figured out how to do a while loop in SQL, but the array situation has me stumped. I tried reading http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/archive/2007/06/26/60240.aspx that article, however it referred to a procedure, and I have no background or experience with procedures.
Any sort of idea or document on a technique to do this would be most appreciated, thank you!
I want the sum of the last payments (amount) for all customers. The lastpayment is with one with most recent date. And if there are more than onepayment on the most recent date then the one with the higher paymentid isthe last payment. for example in the given data the insert statement thatstarts with capital I is the last payment of that customer. The correctanswer should be 2100 as given below. both queries by Erland and Anith givethe result 100 ( I removed the "WHERE p1.date <= '20030301' " Clause fromboth queries since right now I want current sum (not till some date).
