The Description field in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services just defaults to "Send e-mail to email@domain.com" (obviously a dummy e-mail address) when you create an e-mail subscription. You cannot edit the Description when you select "Edit" beside a subscription.
The Description may be edited directly in the Subscriptions table under the ReportServer database but this is not end-user friendly.
I thought of using an add/update trigger to set the Description to the "Subject" out of the Extension Settings field. The Extension Settings field is XML so you would have to parse the Subject out of there first. The "Subject" is the e-mail Subject for the e-mail that is sent to the subscriber and it much more adequately describes the report.
My boss understood what I wanted to do but wanted to make sure in the industry literature that the product was not that lacking. Hard to believe that you cannot directly edit the Subscription Description through the web browser interface - would love for someone to prove me wrong.
I have created stored procedures and I am checking whether any error has occured on execution of the statements in that procedure.
If the @@Error <>0 then I need to log this error into my error logging table. For this, I need to retrieve the error description given by SQL SERVER 2000.
I tried this using the master.dbo.sysmessages table. But I get a text from master.dbo.sysmessages which has the placeholders like %l, %s, etc.
I dont want this type of error. I want the exact error description which has the actual objects names and not the placeholders.
I found some help at this link : http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-I.html#textretrieve
But i want to know whether there is any other way of doing this or not.
I have 2 tables: Order(ID, Quantity) and Product(ID,Name, Price) and I want to add a calculated field in Order table based on the price column in the Product table. How do i do that?
this query returns the values i want in the table.
select a.quantity * b.price from tblCustomerPurchases as a join tblProduct as b on a.ID=b.ID
Getting an error on the following SQL. The field in question is the Description field which has * in the description. Not sure how I should have the SQL to solve this

I have 2 tables, one that contains a set of codes and their definitions, and another where each record has a field that contains several of these codes separated by commas:
Tab1
SubCode | Definition --------------- S100 | Def of S100 S101 | Def of S101 S102 | Def of S102
I'm trying to create a query against Tab1 so that it retrieves a recordset of Subcodes and definitions based on the contents of the Subcodes field for a record in Tab2. I've tried this using a subquery, as follows:
SELECT SubCode ,Definition FROM Tab1 WHERE SubjectCode IN (SELECT CHAR(39) + REPLACE(SubjectCodes, CHAR(44), CHAR(39 + CHAR(44)+ CHAR(39)) + CHAR(39) FROM Tab2 WHERE DepID = 1 AND PurposeCode = 'P101')
The subquery will return: 'S100','S101' and I expect the final recordset to be:
SubCode | Definition --------------- S100 | Def of S100 S101 | Def of S101
However, it's not returning any records. If I execute the subquery separately and then plug its results into the main query e.g.
SELECT SubCode ,Definition FROM Tab1 WHERE SubjectCode IN ('S100','S101')
it returns the expected recordset. Does anyone have any pointers? It's driving me nuts..
Cheers Greg

On the Design Table screen for SQL 2000 there is a Description field along with the Default, Identity, etc. options. Once I put a description in there, is there a way to retrieve it through T-SQL?

I'm selectively migrating a load of data from one database to another and would like to be able to get & set a table fields Description property (as seen on the Design window under Column Properties) programmatically. I'm having a spot of bother in actually finding how to do it - anyone know?
Ta,
Rob
P.S. Just thought I'd mention - I do know about sp_addextendedproperty, and while I will use that if I have to, it would be nice to be able to use the existing column property Description so that when editing, the user can see the value.
Hi, Let's say I have 1000 registered users in database table and each of them has numeric ranking value. How can I get the position of each user in comparison to other users ranking value?
I have table "Clients" who have associated records in table "Mailings" I want to populate a gridview using a single query that grabs all the info I need so that I may utilize the gridview's built in sorting. I'm trying to return records containing the next upcoming mailing for each client.
The closest I can get is below: I'm using GROUP BY because it allows me to return a single record for each client and the MIN part allows me to return the associated record in the mailings table for each client that contains the next upcoming 'send_date'
SELECT MIN(dbo.tbl_clients.client_last_name) AS exp_last_name, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.send_date) AS exp_send_date, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id) AS exp_user_id, dbo.tbl_clients.client_id, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.mailing_id) AS exp_mailing_idFROM dbo.tbl_clients INNER JOIN dbo.tbl_mailings ON dbo.tbl_clients.client_id = dbo.tbl_mailings.client_idWHERE (dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id = 1000)GROUP BY dbo.tbl_clients.client_id The user_id set at 1000 part is what makes it rightly pull in all clients for a particular user. Problem is, by using the GROUP BY statement I'm just getting the lowest 'mailing_id' number and NOT the actual entry associated with mailing item I want to return. Same goes for the last_name field. Perhaps I need to have a subquery within my WHERE clause?Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely..
I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:  - First_Name  - Last_Name  - Email  - User_Field_2  - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?
I face following problem by last few day, please help me for the same
My Mssql server 2000 with service pack 3 use for my lan bas users, normally they can work fine without any problem, but some time user not able to retrieve information from server. I had debugged this problem and found one small table with 50/60 records not retrieving for so long at clients machine. I open enterprise manage and trough that try to open table, but server in try mode only not show a single row after long time and give message client time out.
I open query analyzer and try to select * from table_name, it is also not retrieve a single row after long time and nothing got as a message.
Shutdown the server and restart , I am able to retrieve that table from EM, Query analyzer and from application also.
[MS SQL Server 7]We load a table from a text file using Data Transformation Services. Thesource file is already sorted by primary key order.After the DTS load, the default retrieval order on the target table (select* from targettable) appears to be random. I know that theoretically theretrieval order from a SELECT statement isn't guaranteed, but this is thefirst time that I've actually had a default retrieval not follow theprimary key order in the table. I'm thinking that what we're seeing is thephysical storage order of the rows in the table, which have been somewhatscrambled by the way that DTS loads a text file (probably some I/Ooptimization).Is there any way that we can get DTS to load the table in the order thatthe rows appear in the text file (assuming that's what our problem is)?The Project Lead really doesn't like the fact that the default retrievalorder isn't following the primary key.Regards,Lyle H. Gray
Columns are obviously fixed, but not rows. I want to show this data using lables and SqlDataReader for report purpose like; Label1.text=dr("value16").toString( ) Label2.text=dr("value28").toString( ) Label3.text=dr("value31").toString( ) etc
Do you have any idea how i can do it or am I approaching it in the wrong way????
I am trying to update records based on the results of a query with a subquery.
The result set being produced shows the record of an item number. This result produces the correct ItemNo which I need to update. The field I am looking to update is an integer named Block.
When I run the update statement all records are updated and not the result set when I run the query by itself.
Below is the code I am using in an attempt to update the block column but it updates all records and not the ones which I need to have the Blocked field set to 1.
Update #items set Blocked = 1 Where Exists ( SELECT ItemNo=MAX(CASE rn WHEN 1 THEN ItemNo END) --,SearchNo --,COUNT(*)
[Code] ...
Why is the update changing each record? How can I change the update to choose the correct records?

I have a table called BidItem which has another table calledBidAddendum related to it by foreign key. I have another table calledBidFolder which is related to both BidItem and BidAddendum, based on acolumn called RefId and one called Type, i.e. type 1 is a relationshipto BidItem and type 2 is a relationship to BidAddendum.Is there any way to specify a foreign key that will allow for thedifferent types indicating which table the relationship should existon? Or do I have to have two separate tables with identical columns(and remove the type column) ?? I would prefer not to have multipleidentical tables.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?
where including/excluding a single column in an empty staging table would influence a resultset returning from distributed query? Both servers are SQL Server 2012. Nothing special about the staging table. It contains 12 columns with a mixture of INT and NVARCHAR(256) columns. In one case I exclude the column and the query returns in 17 seconds. When I include it the query does not return. Excluding the INSERT INTO the staging table and query returns in 17 secs with and without the column.
I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. Â If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. Â This would work easily if there were only one row. Â What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Â Should there be some type of looping?
I have a comma separated field containing numerous 2 digit numbers that I would like splitting out by a corresponding unique code held in another field on the same row.
E.g
Unique Code Comma Separated Field
14587934 1,5,17,18,19,40,51,62,70
6998468 10,45,62,18,19
79585264 1,5,18
These needs to be in column format or held in an array to be used as conditional criteria.
