I'm trying to create a view from a query using a temp table and I'm running into some strange issues. When I try to enter the query into the view it gives me the following error, but then the query runs and returns the expected data:
"Unable to parse query text."
In an attempt to get around this (I assumed that temp tables just weren't supported with in a view) I put my query into a Stored Procedure and attempted to call the SP from the view. This gave me the same results as before (an error and then a result set) but the error was the following:
"The EXECUTE SQL construct or statement is not supported."
The query seems to run properly in both forms, it just gives an error on the first run and won't allow me to save the view because of the syntax error. The stored procedure runs just fine and returns the right data, so I'm pretty sure that my query is good. I just don't know how to make it execute into a view without getting these errors.
I have my SqlDataSource with my connection string:<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersLaurensDesktopstockmanASP****.accdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/> but I wanted to make a relative path from it because when I put it online i get an error. Thanks in advance
We have a growing issue where we have a relative dtsconfig file (which stores the absolute base path of the ETL packages). This way we can keep the ETL projects failry portable - only having to modify one value in the dtsconfig file. The master package that defines the dtsconfig location (which is config/Default.dtsconfig) usually interpretates this location to be relative the project. The problem is that every now and again when you open this package in .NETStudio, the path is interpreted differently and causes: config/Default.dtsconfig to state invalid path. But when we delete the variable (which defines the dtsconfig path), save/close and open/recreate it works again. This may or may not be supported MS method, but I was curious to know why this gets messed up. Is there somehwere in the .NET framework that defines what "/" is relatively under?
For example: Our absolute config path is "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesETLProjectETLBaseconfigDefault.dtsconfig" but using: "config/Default.dtsconfig" for xml file value works. However, sometimes we will get an error stating that this file cannot be found, and when we just try to delete (without saving and closing) and immediatelly try to put "config/Default.dtsconfig" again and hit next, we get an error and the path is now:
I have host my ASP.NET application on gate.com, and there I have access to a SQL Server 2005 instance, and I am trying to make relative paths in my web.config work, (|Data Directory|), but I don't know how to change the default value of |Data Directory|, and it isn't the root of my application, I'm pretty sure. My setup is like so, and the file was created using SQL express 2005, I am not sure if that is my problem, because gate uses the full version. /<root>/App_Data/Leads.mdf here is the stack trace:

I'm trying to use the drill-through feature to link to a report in different solution, on the same server, but in a different project. Local help files say: "The list of report names includes all reports in the current report server project. If the drillthrough report is on the report server but is not in the project, type the name of the report. The report name can contain a relative or absolute path to the report."
The report will be passing a parameter to the target report through drill-through. The target report is located on different solution and project but on a same server (report manager). Any help will be be appreciated.
Can someone give an example of a relative path? Nothing I've tried has worked, and I've posted this on sqlteam to no avail.
So I want to insert 40 values into a table, starting at a particular column. Like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (1) VALUES (...my forty values...)
Pretending that 0 (zero) indexes the first column, and 1 indexes the second column, the purpose is to skip the (first) column that contained an identity value (since normally you can't insert into an identity column anyway).
The only way I currently know how to solve this problem, is to use highly verbose syntax, like this:
But yuck, who wants to explicitly mention all forty column names, ONLY BECAUSE I'm trying to avoid inserting a value into the first column which contains the identity?
At my office, we've been slowly working on putting together a data warehouse.
We're a financial services company and one of the services that we offer is debt collection. As far as reports go, our clients are interested in knowing how much money we collect over time. In particular, they want to know how many payments we've gotten 5, 10, and 15 months (and so on) after we receive a case. (Obviously, the 5-month payments are also included in the 10 and 15-month calculations).
When I wrote this report using our transactional database, I was completely new to SQL and the ever-resourceful Patron Saint took pity on me, so you can see a good description of the details at http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=78510
Now that I'm no longer a total newbie at SQL, and having been through a relatively extensive seminar on data warehousing, I've been entrusted with researching certain aspects of data warehouse development (rest easy, though, folks - the real DWH work is not being done by the very inexperienced me, but by an actual professional :) ).
My question:
how would you model this kind of "relative time" in a data warehouse? How would you display the 5-month, 10-month, and 15-month payments in a DWH? I can't really imagine that the kinds of joins necessary to do this in a transactional database would be desirable in a data warehouse.
We have the following:
1.) FACT_Payment: A fact table showing each each payment to the most detailed granularity. One attribute of this table is the payment date. Another attribute is a foreign key to the case dimension described below.
2.) DIM_Case: A dimension table showing information on each case, including the case start date. DIM_Case
3.) DIM_Date: A date dimension table.
(For added clarification: The FACT_Payment payment date has to be 5, 10, 15 months etc... after the DIM_Case start date.)
Any ideas, comments, experience with something like this?
hello again!, this time I'm trying to run a Master Package from the SQL Server Agent but I can't set relative paths to the connections for all the child packages that the master package contains. It only finishes execution when I set absolute paths for all connections in the connection manager within the SSIS Project.
Is there any property in the SQL Server Agent or mayby a workaround to solve this?
I am new to the wonders of CLR and, as can be expected, have hit a snag. We have multiple environments to run this off of (dev, test, production, etc.) and need to be able to use the same scripts to install them. Here is our basic setup:
Batch script runs a master SQL file using sqlcmd utility Master SQL file runs secondary SQL files, including the one with the CLR definitions Secondary SQL file with CLR calls the CREATE ASSEMBSLYI want to be able to call
CREATE ASSEMBLY assemblyName FROM 'myAssembly.dll'
or
CREATE ASSEMBLY assemblyName FROM '..myAssembly.dll'
or something to the effect. However, when I try this, it says I cannot do it or it cannot find the file, even though the file is located in the same folder.
Have a bit of an SQL challenge in that I need to create a well performing view in SQL2008R2 which calculates hours remaining at any given point in time. This is not a simple sum but has some absolute values included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Basic simplified structure of maintenance and usage tables --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREATE TABLE #Maintenance (Id int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1) CONSTRAINT PK_Maintenance PRIMARY KEY, MaintenanceDate smalldatetime NOT NULL, -- When maintenance hours are reset HoursAvailable numeric(5, 1) NULL -- Available hours until next maintenance )
[Code] ....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Required output view so that at any given point in time I can determine hours remaining --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AtDate HoursAvailable -- '01-Jan-2015 15:00' NULL -- before first maintenance hence unknown -- '10-Jan-2015 10:00' 10.1 -- maintenance hours reset -- '11-Jan-2015 07:30' 8.9 -- subtract 1.2 -- '11-Jan-2015 11:10' 2.9 -- subtract 6.0 -- '15-Jan-2015 00:00' -0.1 -- subtract 3.0 -- '01-Feb-2015 00:00' 12.2 -- maintenance hours reset -- '02-Feb-2015 13:00' 10.0 -- subtract 2.2
I am creating a application in Visual C++ 2005 that has database connections in it. I have gone through the process of setting up the data source and it will work great on my computer. However, the second I move either the project or the created executable to another computer the application keeps crashing. I know that it is crashing due to the database connection string. The string is setup to work only on my computer, I am wondering how do I make, or edit, the string to work on any computer? Thanks for the help.
Does anyone know if there is a rough guide in terms of how much memory SQL server will normally use relative to the size of the actual databases that it is hosting?
For example, I'm working on a server that hosts only about 250-300 MB worth of data (including all of the full text indexes, etc.) but the sqlservr.exe process is using 1.25 GB of ram. Also Page Reads/sec is around 1200 -- despite there being over 5 GB of RAM available and not being used (the PF is about 3.25 GB, total memory in the machine is 8GB). Below that w3wp.exe uses only 290 MB and lsass.exe uses only about 225 MB. The machine is a web/database server that is hosting ASP.NET 2, ASP.NET & Classic ASP pages (and the associated databases). For the amount of hardware, the server seems to be responding to requests on the slow side. While some of this is probably due to the legacy code-base, there seems to be a noticeable difference in speed after SQL Server is restarted.
We use NLB + ISA , Win2003/SP1 + Reporting Services 2005
We use host name URL to access Reporting Serives reports, like http://www.hostname.com/Reportserver?rc%3aParameters=false&%2MyReports%2f....
When reports have grouping , the drill down images(+/-) and links failed to be displayed. We checked the HTML source code and found, instead of the reative path, the image/link URLs are using FULL path and using IP address, like http://10.102.40.55/Reportserver/.....
Because the company policy do not allow use IP to access reports , those drill down images and links failed to be displayed.
How can I configure Reporting Service to use host name or relative path for the drill down images and links.
PS:
We have changed the <UrlRoot> in rsreportserver.config and <ReportServerUrl> in rsWebApplication.config to use host name, but no worked.
Hi all, I have a question that relates to a relationship in my stock performance database. It is a conceptual one, but is the only aspect of my database design that I am "losing sleep over" *LOL* (as if that could happen with me... ;) )
Anyway, Here are my tables/Keys, as setup
1) CurrentList - Primary Key is PortfolioID, StockID, BuyDate, Selldate. - essentially, this table defines stock portfolios. A PortfolioID has one-to-many StockIDs (stocks in the portfolio), and each PortfolioID/StockID pair can further be grouped by BuyDate and Selldate (because a single stock may come in and out of a single portfolio over time).
2) StockProperty - Primary Key is StockID, CreateDate. This table is built on a daily basis from rows in the Currentlist. It represents the affected stocks currently in ANY portfolio. For example, the IBM stock may exist in more than one PORTFOLIO (PortfolioID) but there will still only be ONE row for IBM on a particular date (CreateDate) in the StockProperty table (since the stock is the same stock, regardless of how many portfolios it is in).
I am trying to figure out which is the parent table, and which the child...or if there IS an "enforceable" relationship at all!?!? None of the non-key data is the same in either table, so the only columns with a relationship is StockID, and StockProperty.Createdate - which must be between CurrentList.BuyDate and CurrentList.SellDate.
I guess that's my quandry (or one of myriad quandries in my life ;) ) - I can't really think of how to enforce (via foreign keys, etc) the relationship in the date range...AND...how to explain the relationship between the two tables (I lean toward CurrentList being Parent to StockProperty, but can't come to grips with what the probably obvious "standard" relationship description would be.
I come in to work 6.30am, and need to audit what happened from 5pm when I left to 6.30am this morning. I have used code to search 13.5 hours back from any given time:
SELECT * FROM TRANSACTION_HISTORY WHERE TRANSACTION_HISTORY.ACTIVITY_DATE_TIME > (SELECT DATEADD(hour,-13.5,(SELECT MAX (TRANSACTION_HISTORY.ACTIVITY_DATE_TIME) FROM TRANSACTION_HISTORY)))
Problem is if I run query later, I lose time from the start, eg. If I run query at 7am, I only get results from 5.30pm onwards. Rather than change criteria every day, I wanted to able to search from 6.30am of the current day, back to 5.30pm of the previous day.
I am working on a Hospital Information System project with a team of 6.Each one of us builds or modifies a part of the system and shares the project over a common repository. The problem here is that we use the absolute path of the database in our connection string. Although the directory structure of our project is the same for each member, since the main project folder itself is stored in different locations on each person's computer (for example, one may have it stored in c:My Documents and the other in d: My Documents), we are forced to modify the connection string manually each time someone else from the team updates the repository with the database. How do we make the path of the database relative so that we don't have to modify the connection string manually each time after receiving an update from the repository?
I have a table with a BLOB column, and I need to populate this table including the BLOB column (image type in the database).
What I have done is:
1. use a flat file transform to read a .csv file which specifies the names of the files that store the binary contents for the BLOB column for each row.
2. use an Import Column Transform to read the binary files.
3. use an OLE DB Dest transform to dump the data into my destination table.
I got the error saying:
Error: 0xC02090BB at XXXX, Import Column [1]: Opening the file ".diagram1.bin" for reading failed. The file was not found.
I guess this is because my file "diagram1.bin" is not in the current path? (The current path can be found by "System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() call, in my case it is "c:program filesmicrosoft visual studio 0common7IDE".)
My question is: how to determine the directory path information of the package I am running?
I have been reading through different posts about how to manage SSIS configuration files across multiple environments. I have seen a few that mention a solution that turns out not to really work (or maybe I€™m doing something wrong); which is what I hope to find out here.
Solutions I am working with: 1: Put the XML Configuration file in the same directory as the SSIS package and only specify the config file name when setting it up in the package. I do not specify a path to the XML Configuration file, just the config file name.
ISSUE: This works when I first create the package and test it without closing down visual studio. Even after deploying the SSIS package and the config file and moving it between environments it works as long as the working directory of the DTExec command is the same directory as the SSIS package and configuration files. The problem comes in after I have closed Visual Studio and opened it again and loaded up the SSIS package. It then gives a bunch of errors stating that it can€™t locate the configuration files€¦. If I could fix this issue, then this would be a solution that I could live with. (I would much rather use a relative path to a different directory but I€™ll live with what I can get). Can anyone solve the issue of Visual Studio 2005 not recognizing the location of the configuration files when only the configuration file name, and not the path is specified?
-- The other odd thing is that I have been able to get this to work consistently with some of my packages but not others. I'm not sure what I did to get those packages to recognize the location of the xml config file.
I have MS SQL 2000 and 2005 Express install on my computer. I would like to know where I can get some good beginner's training and I also need to know how to run sql scripts and import database to both.
I have a SQL server that my web host has provided but I don't know who to set it up! I'm currently have an MS Access database on my web site and I want to change it to MSSQL using the Access upsizing wizards, can anyone talk me through it?
hi there. this is my first post on this forum. im new to SQLServer so please go easy on me. :)
i am trying desperately to call a stored procedure from within another stored procedure. if i post my code below could somebody tell me where i am going wrong. the SP i have written is executing OK but the OUTPUT parameter Id_User is coming back as null, whereas it should be giving my a value there. i have tried changing the line 'EXEC sp_User_I' for 'INSERT INTO @User_Id EXEC sp_User_I' but this wont compile.
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Account_I] @Username varchar(16), @Password varchar(88), @Surname varchar(32), @DateBirth datetime, @Email varchar(64), @Id_Account int OUTPUT, @Id_User int OUTPUT
I've been banging my head against this issue, and I haven't managed to find a solution. I was hoping that maybe somebody here has done something similar.
I am trying to get the latest available pricing from a Rate table, which is based on the customer ID and the provided date from another table (Table1).
This is what the code looks like, essentially:
select table1.* ,table2.* ,table3.Rate
from table1 left outer join table2 on table1.Id = table2.Id left outer join ( Select Top 1 Rate from RateTable Where RateTable.date < table1.date order by RateTable.date desc ) as table3 on table3.custId = table1.custId
I understood that table1.date can't be explicitly passed into the nested join within table3, but does anybody know a work around that can achieve the above example (the environment is SQL server 2000 and inside a view not on in a stored proc)?
