SQL
Upgrading to VS05 Pro SP1/SqlExpress (from VS03 Pro/SQL MSDE)
Question 1) €“ is there a way to tell which version of the SQL Express was installed? I think it is €œSQL Server 2005 Express Edition With Advance Services€?, but don€™t know how to confirm that.
Question 2) - SQL Server Management Studio Express, Registered Servers, it shows :
Database Engine
sqlexpress (note the lower case)
If I right click and choose €œPreviously Registered Servers€?, it shows a message that I will be displaying SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names, and it shows
SQL Server Group
SQLEXPRESS (note the upper case)
CSOLUTION
I wish to completely remove CSOLUTION (in MSDE you would uninstall it from the Control Panel), but right clicking and choosing the delete option does nothing (it does not delete it). Deleting SQL Server Group also has no affect either. How do I remove CSOLUTION ?
Question 3) - In the VS05 program, the SQL connection string includes €œData Source=.SQLEXPRESS€¦.€? (NOTE UPPER CASE) Why do I have a lower case and an upper case listed above? Starting/stopping one sqlexpress/ SQLEXPRESS does the same to the other. Don€™t I wan€™t to complete delete anything under SQL Server Group since it represents SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names? SQL Server 2000 and CSOLUTION have been uninstalled from this machine.
Hi all, i encountered this problem.. whenever i tried to create publications it always prompt me this error msg "sql server replications does not support nicknames,such "." or "(local)". i know i need to delete the registration and register a new server with a different name.. i just want to double confirm whether deleting the registration will affect the databases or not ? :
An unknown person at a client's site installed IIS on a production SQL Server. I would like to remove it (it's not being used and the service is shut down). Does anyone know of any troubles with uninstalling IIS? Will the removal also hose SQL?
Does anyone know how to remove SQL utilities off the server manually. When I run the setup.exe from the SQL CD to remove SQL from server that option button is shaded, I try reinstalling SQL utilities and then I try removing and still it won`t let me? Help!!!
Hope all is going well ...... I have a question for you ...

I have to install SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 on a server to do a Share Point upgrade. After the upgrade I want to remove the SQL 2000 instance.
My question is, has anyone done this and what, if any, issues did you have. Does it matter what order they are installed in? Will I break my 2005 instance when I remove the 2000 instance?
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I have a two tables containing customers invoices, one for the invoices header (ie: customer #, invoice date,... KEY: invoice # + invoice date) and another for the details of the invoices (ie: each invoice line details KEY: invoice # + line #). I need to periodically remove invoices older than a certain timeframe (ex: all invoices older than 48 months).
I want to remove the nulls from the result set so the result is 1 line. Code and results are below:
SELECT CustomerNumber, (case when yearseq = 2012 then isnull(sum(mainPower),0)+isnull(sum(sidePower),0)+isnull(Sum(leftPower),0) +isnull(Sum(netappPower),0)+isnull(Sum(rightPower),0)+isnull(Sum(lowerPower),0) end) as '2012', (case when yearseq = 2013 then
[Code] ....
What can I do to my code to remove the Nulls to the entire result is just 1 line?

I un-installed the SQL Server Express and tried to install it again. It still says I have installed instances and if I select default instance the option buttons are un-checked and disabled. I tried to delete all the folders related to the SQL Server installationa dn tried but still I see the same thing. Please help me in istalling the default instance.
I'm creating a table using a XML string and a stored procedure to the SQL Server. I'm having problems in just one field, it is a nvarchar(10) type. This field's string XML Schema is also nvharchar(10) type. It is called CodCanalPrice.
Today, the only values this field can assume are AA or BB or CC, (...), ZZ or (space)A, (space)B, (...), (space)C. Note that (space) is actually a space character. They all have 2 characters.
The XML data string of one data row is showed below:
When the statement is executed, SQL server removes the first space (so in this case it is updated to A without space in the table). The others values that don't have an space before like AA or BB are updated fine. All others fields are also updated correctly.
So far I tried to replace the first space for  but SQL Server doesn't accept this tag.
I have found a bunch of duplicate records in our housing database that ideally I need to delete.There are two tables that I need to remove data from ih_cml_log_entry and ih_cml_log_notes. There is no unique identifier between the tables for a log entry. So I have had to join on the person_ref, log_seq and the date/time of entry.How do I go about deleting the data - I've used the script below to identify what I need to delete -
SELECT * FROM ( select cml.person_ref, cml.open_date + open_time as 'datetime',cml.open_user,cml.log_type ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY cml.person_ref, cml.open_date + cml.open_time,cml.open_user,cml.log_type ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS RowNo ,n.note FROM ih_cml_log_entry cml
I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
Sometimes at the end of a project you'll end up with unused Tables,Stored Procs, Functions, and Views.Since there is not something like a 'SELECT' trigger ... what is thebest way for telling what is not being used by your solution? To turnon some kind of tracing?Any ideas?Thanks,Kelly GreerJoin Bytes!change nospam to yahoo
On Analysis Services 2005 the members of the Administrators local group are also members of the fixed server role, therefore they have full control over Analysis Services databases.
I think this can be a problem becouse many system administrators don't need full control over AS. Does someone kwon how can I remove those high privileges to the local administrator?
I'm trying to upgrade my management studio to the full version, I uninstalled Express edition and started the install for the full version, but I get an error stating "you cannot install this component because it is already installed". I had a word with one of the guys in the office and he said the only way he's ever been able to get round this is by flattening the entire PC and starting again. Obviously I want to avoid that!
We have deleted 120GB of data but space did not released even after 2 days. Is there any reason for this? tell me how exactly it releases the space after truncating a 120GB table?
I have two tables one list changes of hospital ward and one lists changes of consultant doctor. These can change independently ie a ward change can occur without a consultant change and vice versa. I want to summarise these changes to give the status at each date_serial value.
select date_serial,consultant_id,null as ward_id from #temp_consultant_episode union select date_serial,null as consultant_id,ward_id from #temp_ward_stay
I installed sql server express 1st time successfully. But later I found that there's no solution explorer(there's no item under file-new called Project). To reinstall, I removed all the components completely,including engine,msee,bol,sampledb. But could not install the engine again. I've downloaded the installation files several times and tried both sqlexpr32.exe and sqlexpr_adv.exe. The same error log:

For the past several weeks, I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 on a Win XP SP2 PC. Regardless of the options I choose (SQL Engine + Client Tools, Client Tools only, etc.) when the installation gets to the end of the Client Tools setup and the setup status displays "Removing Backup Files", my PC appears to hang.
For a period of time, there is a fair amount of HD activity which gives me the impression that files are in fact being deleted, but then there is no HD activity and the installation appears to hang. Finally I give up and kill the setup process and reboot.
After reboot, it appears that the client tools have been installed (the icons appear and I can open the Management Studio, but when I try to connect to an existing instance of SQL, that hangs. This occurs for either Windows or SQL authentication.
Has anyone experienced this behavior and determined the root cause? What EXACTLY is happening during the "Removing Backup Files" phase of the installation?
I have a virtual machine that previously had SQL Server 2005 installed. Since I changed the computer name, I have to reinstall SQL. I removed all the SQL components and am trying to reinstall the database and reporting components. The installation is failing on the "Removing temporary files" step. According to the setup progress screen, the following components have been installed:
OWC11
SQL Server Bakcward-Compatibility Files
SQL Server Database Services
Reporting Services
Visual Studio Integrated Development
SQL Server Books Online
SQLXML4
Workstation Components, Books Online - this step is still in "configuring components" status.
The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 Server SP1 with all current patches, using just under 2 GB of memory (1920 MB of RAM), the host is Windows XP SP2 with all current patches, with 4 GB of memory.
I had no problem doing this procedure on a different virtual machine, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Hi! I am trying to remove an "*" I used to transfer a file from Excel to SQL. I put the "*" in the NULL values so that I would not get an error. Now that I have the file in SQL, I need to remove the :*" from some columns in my table. How can I select all of those in a column and delete them without deleting each individual one. Any ideas?
I have a search box to look up using a number as an identifier. Currently my query is where x = @enteredNumber, but some place where a user might get the number it is padded with zeros. We can have them just see the number and retype it. EG: 000000123 would be entered as 123. But, I would like to let them copy and paste, but then strip the zeros (left padding only). EG: @num = stripPadding(@enteredNumber) IE: @num = stripPadding(000000123) @num = 123
