I am setting up a blog, and I would like the data list to default to the most recent post ONLY. How would I define the filter to get the most recent post?
I have a publishing date in my table, and I can sort the post, but I have no clue how to select just one row to display.
I can get it to work by adding a dropdown list the is bound to the publishing date column, then retreving the post based on the control, but I don't want to use the control. (Making the control not visible is not an option.
I have an app that needs to retrieve the list of tables in an SQL database. I see that there is a way to do this with the OLEdb provider (GetOleDbSchemaTable() ), but I can't find a sibling method in SQL. IS there one/ Any Ideas?
I am storing images within and image field in sql, however when I go to get the data I have two issues.
the first issue is that my image is linked to information on another table but the only way that i have seen getting the image back is to do a:
response.binarywrite(mydatareader.item("image"))
but i am hoping to be able to find a way to use the template functionality with datagrid to align the picture with the information on the table. i am storing the image type and size with the image as well.
the second problem might be related to the load, i am not sure. sometimes, for some images and it just shows the frame of the image with the red x in the middle. The load appears to work (no errors) but since we cannot view them properly we dont know.
Our application wants to store all data in sql so that we can secure it and relate it to projects. in addition, we hope to be able to use this function to upload all sorts of binary documents from jpg, gif, doc, xls, visio, and others as we can. any issues with that process???
we would like to be able to display them directly in the browser where we can but all users have standard office.
any suggestions on either and hopefully both of these situations? we have sort of hit a brick wall.
hi. I am at a new stage in our project and need to figure out how to insert/retreive MP3/Wav files. The way we want to do this is have the file stored on the harddrive while a link to its location is stored in the database.
I have posted this search in other newsgroups and have gotten a lot of philosophical responses, but what i really am looking for is code examples. Please, what i would like to see is "how" this id done in code. If you have done this on your site, i'd really appreciate your posting code here or emailing me examples. Or, if you know of a really good explainaition of how to go about storing/retreiving audio files in the way i mentioned using MS SQL Sever 2000, I'd be equally indebted.
I hope I have explained myself clearly. Thank you for your assistance!
Last week I discovered a server runing a sql database for a vendor application. Last year sometime one of our former employees created a dts to populate some data in peoplesoft from this database. But, over this last weekend, the vendor came in and uninstalled and reinstalled sql server and only restored their specific database. All I have is backups of msdb and master and I'm not sure how to restore our dts package. Any clues would be appreciated.
Hi all I have the following table schema and their details as follows:
Code Block CREATE TABLE #Tbl_Project ( ID varchar(40), Name varchar(50) ) GO CREATE TABLE #Tbl_User_Project ( ID int, ProjectID varchar(40), Role varchar(20) ) GO INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ1','Project 1') INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ2','Project 2') INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ3','Project 3') GO INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(1,'PRJ1','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(2,'PRJ1','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(3,'PRJ1','TM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(4,'PRJ2','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(5,'PRJ2','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(6,'PRJ3','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(7,'PRJ3','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(8,'PRJ3','TL') GO --Required Output --ProjectID ProjectName PM:TL:TM Ratio HeadCount --PRJ1 Project 1 1:1:1 3 --PRJ2 Project 2 1:0:1 2 --PRJ3 Project 3 1:0:2 3 DROP TABLE #Tbl_Project,#Tbl_User_Project
This is just sample of the values. The ratio obtained should be as follows: Assuming for a Project 1 there are 2 - PM's , 6-TL's , 15 - TM's then the ratio should be 1:3:7.5 . So please help me in this regard.
I have a serious problem struggling with sql query the problem is i have a table below
Sno CarId carcharacterstics Charactersticvalue

But I am not able to retrieve the values. I can retrieve the values correctly if i mention only one characterstics and its value but i cant retrieve if i mention more than that
Hi, im trying to insert values into 2 different tables. The primary key in the first table is an auto increment field, which is then the foreign key in the 2nd table.Is there any way to retrieve the autogenerated value before performing the second insert. I have done some searching on the matter, but to no avail.I tried using LAST_INSERT_ID() but i get the error message that it is not a recognized function name. The other option is using @@identity but i cant see how to put that into my SQL statement.Can anyone help please.Thanks in advanceGareth
fields: assassinid int, identity, primary key assassinname nvarchar assassincallsign nvarchar knifekills int sniperkills int stealthkills int fibergarotekills int
supposed i want to retreive only those records whose type of kills is on a given list, how do i do that? the list is actually dynamic since the kill types is actually coming from a checkbox on my page: [] Knife Kills [] Sniper Kills [] Stealth Kills [] Fibergarrote Kills
supposed i will only check Knife Kills, it will only retreive those records whose knifekills > 0
or if i check Snipers Kills and Stealth Kills, then those records whose sniperkills and stealthkills is > 0.
We are having a Windows Installer Program (32 bit) which calls the SQLDMO to get the list of installed instances in a 64 bit 2005 sql server machine. This fails as the windows installer tries opens up the 32 bit sqldmo and there is no instance of 32 bit sql server on this machine. Is there any way by which sqldmo can return all 64 bit sql server instance when called from a 32 bit Application?
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to restore a full database backup from October 1, 2005 and then over 4400 transaction logs to bring a database up to Jan 01, 2006 on a development server (storage team lost all daily full backups from 10/02/2005 to 01/01/2006). Since the backups were not taken on this machine originally, the information I would pull from the sysjobhistory tables to get the transaction backup names is not available. Does anyone have a link or a script to pull the filenames from the backup directory into sql server so I can build a dynamic script to apply the tran logs instead of running all 4400+ of them by hand? Thanks, Tom
I'm trying to figure out how to retreive connection strings from the machine.config instead of storing the conn strings in a *.dtsconfig file. The reason that I'm trying to use the machine.config is for the simple reason that I'll be able to manage all of the conn strings in one location on each server. (Instead of mutliple dtsconfig files.) Is it posible to utilize the machine.config in SSIS? If so, could someone explain how, or better yet, have an example?
The same as following Tree as you can see 1__ | 2__ | 4__ | 6 | __ 3__ 5
I need a query to return the following Result. I think it is possible only through Nested sub-Queries But i don't know how to do that Could any one help me.?
Could someone tell me how to get the data from all tables of the database in the form of insert script? We are moving our databse from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The scripts for the Database, Tables, Views , Procedures, Functions have been obtained and it is only the data that is remaining. Some are small tables with 5 to 6 columns but there are some with 50 odd columns. A friend of mine told me about a procedure that returns a dataset with INSERT statements by passing a table name as a parameter. Such procedure would be of great help.
We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?
I want to ship 500,000 aged transactions each night to an archive table and delete them from their source table in one or more logical units of work (LUW). Each row is approx 60 bytes and there is only one non clustered index on the source table presently.
I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of 3 alternatives. One of them would basically insert the non-aged rows into tempdb, ship the aged records, truncate the table and then insert the tempdb records back into their source all in the same LUW.
For this alternative, I'd at least like to turn off logging when the records get inserted into tempdb as I dont see any value in logging that part of the activity. Is this possible?
Could you guys please help me with printing reports invoked thru command line/ URL access to print automatically to specific printers and specific trays and also is it possible to set the specific printer and tray as parameters.
I am having one querry regarding the same line. In my stored procedure i am fetching the data from one table containing upto 5 to 6 million rows I made use of index in my database but then also I cant optimise my execution time of that sp. Please help me out of this problem.
I don't know whether anyone has this problem, but I am definitely not using the right keywords to search for a thread.
My situation is this...
I have a dataset that has values to fill cells to multiple tables in a report. However, I only want to select specific data from the dataset to fill textboxes and others. I cannot change the stored procedure, but the sample of the data is shown below:-
I know it looks weird, but the row really represents which "row" or textbox is it to fill with the Val. The Stat Column is just a way to make sure that I am filling the right values.
so my new report would have multiple tables to denote different categories. In my first table, I tried putting the cells as follows:- (expressions are highlighted in italics and bold)
I tried putting it into the headerrows instead of DetailRows, and it ended up printing the last value. Is there anyway to do this ? print all the values out in one table ? I tried using textboxes, but I think I got my expression wrong.
and it give me an error The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox5€™ contains an error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'FalsePart' of 'Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object'.
Appreciate any advice or suggestion for this scenario !
I am very early on in developing a website to track issues with projects which is tied to a SQL database. I have my Projects Table, my Users Table, and am creating a third table to track issues. I'm wondering what is the best way to assign specific users to specific data/projects. The user should only be able to view & update the projects assigned to him. He should not be able to see other projects. What is the best way to assign projects/data to the users to make sure they are only viewing their data?

I have a case where I need to randomly select two different serial numbers (a list of serial number are already in a table) and assign it to two variables. Or select a specific row from a list of results. Is there a direct way to do this?
e.g. declare @var1 varchar(10), @var2 varchar(10)
select top 1 @var1=Serial from Table order by Serial select top 1 @var2=Serial from Table where ServTag not in (@var1) order by Serial
Hi, I was wondering, I have several columns of data that are able to be sorted on - the user just clicks on the column name. However, we have 1 column called order status where we don't want the order to be alphabetical (and it is a text field - a couple current possible values are Processing...In Production...Waiting For Approval). This order is not good for logical sorting - we would want to be able to specify what value would get order. Does that make sense? So we would want to be able to say that Processing is first in the display, Waiting For Approval would be next, then In Production would be next, and so on. Is there any possible way of doing this in a SQL query? Or am I going to have to manually modify all the data adding numbers to the beginning of each data so that it will sort on the numbers? Thanks everyone.
If we had two SQL 2000 servers each with 2 NIC's. For each server one network card was pointing to an internal network 172.16.x.xxx we use for production. The other NIC (say its 198.16.x.xxx) we wanted to use just for replication purposes between the two servers in an attempt to lighten the network traffic on the 172 network. My question is, can you set up 2 SQL servers to replicate between themselves on a specific IP or Named Pipe?
