View 3 Replies View RelatedIs There A Hack That Would Allow You To Reuse Identity Numbers That Were Orphaned By Deleted Records?
Aug 24, 2006I guess this is a fairly common topic but couldn't find the right words to find anything in a search.
What I'm getting at, is there any tsql functions or combination of commands for the following.
You have identity columns in your tables, if you set the a seed and autoincrement, I enter in rows 1 -10 and then I delete 4, 6, 7, 8.
My next new record uses 11. Is there any logic that allows you to check and reuse 4, 6, 7 & 8 described above? Not looking for something that consists of having to create an extra ID table for each table and handle configuring what the next available number is everytime an Insert or delete is called.
Thanks.
Zusammengesetzter Primary Key Mit Deleted-Flag
Jul 20, 2005Knifflige Frage zu Datenbanken:Es gibt Tabellen, die mehr als ein PK-Feld haben; also z.B.MAID und GMID.Soweit ok.Nehmen wir an, aus dieser Tabelle sollen keine Datensätze physikalischgelöscht werden, sondern der Löschstatus durch ein Datenfeld GELOESCHTangegeben werden. Hat das Feld den Wert 0, dann ist der Datensatz nichtgelöscht; ansonsten steht der Zeitpunkt (Tag und Uhrzeit) der Löschung drin.Dann funktioniert der PK nicht mehr, denn es können ja durchaus mehrereDatensätze mit gleicher MAID und GMID vorhanden sein. Aufnehmen vonGELOESCHT in den PK geht theoretisch, ist aber gefährlich (daFließkommafeld, und wer weiß schon, ob 0 immer gleich 0 ist...).Hat jemand eine Idee?SWE@KP

Oct 12, 2015I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. Â I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. Â I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

Jun 25, 2015I have a table that has a primary key that is auto incremented by 1. This table's data is cleared out periodically and as data gets added the auto id primary key continues to increase in numeric value. Once the data is cleared from the table the auto id names could be used again(the eventId is not stored) Currently the eventID is at 26,581,399. I know the maximum int value is 2,147,483,647.
How should I handle this? or rebuild the table every time the data is cleared(problematically)?

How Do I Reuse A SqlDataAdapter
Apr 25, 2007It's a pretty basic question but I haven't been able to find any examples out there. I dimmed a dataadapter and would like to reuse later in my code (line 3 in the code below). What is the correct syntax to do this? Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM myTable", conn)da.Fill(myDataTable)da.______ ("SELECT * FROM myTable2", conn)da.Fill(myDataTable2)
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan We Reuse SqlParameter's?
Jul 10, 2004Hi,
I am getting the following error:
The SqlParameter with ParameterName '@pk' is already contained by another SqlParameterCollection
If I could work out what code to post I would, but I can say that I am managing my Sql data in my code by caching small arrays of SqlParameter objects as pulled from the database. If I need to update the DB I change the cached SqlParameter and re-insert it. If I perform a SELECT I check the cache first to see if I already have the SqlParameter.
However, currently, I am experiencing the above error when performing a select, then later an update, followed by another update.
Would I be correct in saying that a SqlParameter object can only be used once for a database operation and should be discarded? Would I be correct if I said that the SqlCommand object should be discarded? I am barking up the wrong tree entirely?
Distressed in DBLand,
Matt.
How Can I / Should I Reuse SqlCacheDependency? Thanks
May 1, 2006I can create a SqlCacheDependency, and link it to a cached item in httpcontext cache. When something change, it will remove the cached item from the cache. I think I have to redo the process when that happens - prepare sql command, create SqlCacheDependency and insert the item into cache. Now I only need a notification from my SQL when something changes in one of my table, I don;t need read anything from db, and I think I should find a way to not recreate the SqlCacheDependency object everytime?
any suggestion?
Reuse Calculated Values
Nov 14, 2006What is the best code pratice to use do the following code,
SELECT
fo.no as LNum,
fo.name as LName,
sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END) as In1,
sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In2" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END) as In2,
sum(In1+In2)/10 as inDec,
from fo group by fo.no,fo.name order by fo.name
instead of
SELECT
fo.no as LNum,
fo.name as LName,
sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END) as In1,
sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In2" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END) as In2,
((sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END))+sum(CASE fo.docnome WHEN "In2" THEN fo.etotal ELSE 0 END)))/10 as inDec,
from fo group by fo.no,fo.name order by fo.name
I cant use functions and procedures. Is there any better and cleaner way to code this, reusing the calculated values?
Stored Procedure Reuse
Jul 23, 2005I wonder if there is a solution for this in SQL 2000 (or do I have towait for SQL 2005)?I am currently in the middle of developing a 'Yahoo' style portal whichwill be rolled out in about 20 or so countries. I have set up in SQLServer one database per country. All the portals have the samefunctionality - but show different data.Is it possible to have a single database which holds storedproceedures, functions and views and have the individual countrydatabases use these?Note: I want to avoid using EXEC sp_executesql.I look forward to some good news on this! Thank you in advance.Dadou.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCannot Reuse Database Name After Deleting Old One
Apr 19, 2008
Hi. I'm starting to try out LINQ to SQL, and so I'm using SQL Express (on Vista) to experiment. My problem is that once I create and delete a database, I can never use the name again. If, after deleting the old database, I try to create another one with the same name (say Acct1), I get "Create failed for Database 'Acct1'. An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. The logical file name "Acct1" is already in use. Choose a different name. Error: 1828"
I am trying to create the database in SQL Server Management Studio Express. That database name does not appear in the list of databases: there is only AdventureWorks and the system databases. The .MDF and .LDF files have been deleted. Not just sent to the recycle bin, but permanently deleted.
I have already used up Acct1, Acct2, and Acct3, just to try out different scenarios. Each time, I delete the old database before trying to create a new one with the same name, but I am forced to always supply a new, different name. I have checked the directory with hidden files and system files showing to be sure there is no old file lurking there somewhere.
Is there a way to delete these old "logical file names"? I can't even find any reference to their existence except for the message that says they are already in use.
Transact SQL :: How To Reuse Subquery

select 1 As '1' , 2 Â As '2' , 3 As '3'
)Â
, c2 As (
select 4 Â As '4', 5 Â As '5', Â 6 As '6'
union all
select 1 , 2 ,3 from c1 Â -- >>>>> Â select from c1 hereÂ
) select * from c2Â
 union all
 select * from c1 -- >>>>>> and select from c1 hereÂ
According to the query above , I try to reuse the subquery by put  the subquery into 'with cte'  name (c1)  then i select this  2 times .
if I do this way , how many time this subquery (c1) execute ?
if 1 time then this is the right way to reuse this subquery .
if 2 times  , it is not then what should i do to reuse this subquery ?
Reuse Of Conversation Handles
Nov 26, 2007
I have read the articles posted online concerning different dialog reuse strategies. Most of them create a new table in the sender to hold dialog ids. I was wondering what is wrong, if anything, with the following approach:
Code Block
declare @dlg uniqueidentifier
select top 1 @dlg = conversation_handle from sys.conversation_endpoints where state IN ('CO')
if @dlg is null
begin
begin dialog conversation @dlg
from service [tcp://SFT3DEVSQL01:4022/TyMetrix360Audit/DataSender]
to service '//TyMetrix360Audit/DataWriter','386DDD04-7E55-466A-BE83-37EFC20910B9'
on contract [//TyMetrix360Audit/Contract] with encryption = off;
end
;send on conversation @dlg
message type [//TyMetrix360Audit/Message] (@msg)
Here I simply select a conversation handle directly from the sys.conversation_endpoints table. Can anyone see any issues with this approach?
Thanks in advance....
Reuse Of Field Aliases
Jan 3, 2007I have been working with SQL for quiet a while but think this perhaps is a very basic question that has always escaped me:
At my work I was exposed to both, MS SQL Server 2000 and Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere/Sybase SQL Anywhere.
Under Sybase I was able to use aliases in other calculations and filters but i have never been able to do the same with SQL.
Example:
In Sybase I can write this:
Select Price * Units as Cost Cost * SalesTax as TotalTaxFrom Invoice Where TotalTax > 3.5
However if i want to do this in MS SQL 2000 i have to go trough
Select
Price * Units as Cost
Price * Units * SalesTax as TotalTax
From Invoice
Where (Price * Units * SalesTax) > 3.5
In the long run this is costing me a lot of code redundancy, not to mention a debugging nightmare. Is there a way to replicate this alias usage in MS SQL Server?
Reuse Of Report Elements
Jun 5, 2007I am working on a project developing a fairly large number of reports with a team of developers. Many of these reports have common elements and code, such as common headers with user-selectable colors. Additionally, many of the common parts of the reports are at mockup stage currently, and many features will have to be added to the reports as time goes on.
We're attempting to create a generalized framework that will minimize the duplication of effort as we develop these reports, and as we go back and modify or fix them later.
What is the best way to approach this?
My first attempt was to create a report template and base all the reports off of the same template. That was fine for the first pass, but as we need to make changes later, they will not be propagated to the already existing reports.
My second attempt was to have each componant of that template reference a subreport, so that changes to the actual report template will be minimized as we go forward. This works great for minimizeing work, but it appears that you lose many features with the use of subreports, and there seems to be a pretty serious performance impact as well. I have posted about one such issue here: Pagination
If anyone has pointers about how to go about this, and where I should start, they would be greatly apreciated!
Reuse Numbers In Identity Column
Mar 4, 2008Hello,
I have an ID column which is an Identity column, and it counts from 1 upwards.
If I have 10 records, I have ID's number 1 to 10.
If I then add another record, it will give the ID number 11.
Imagine I then delete ID number 9
Is it possible to get the next record I create to take number 9 instead of 12 ?

ReUse Common Surrogate Key Pipeline
Jun 12, 2007I have several stage to star (i.e. moving data from a staging table through the key lookups into a fact table) ETL transformations in a single SSIS package. Each fact table has a different set of measures but the identical foreign key set, e.g. ConsultantKey, SubsidiaryKey, ContestKey, ContestParamKey and MonthKey.
Currently I have to replicate the key lookup (Surrogate Key Pipeline, or SKP) for each data flow. If I could cache each dimension one time in the package and reuse it for each stage to fact it would be much more efficient.
Is there a way for me to reuse a common data flow?
Reuse Existing Connection String For TableAdapter?

When I click configure on the table adapter, then click previous back to the "Choose Your Data Connection" dialog. The only option is the new connection that was just created when I added the sql server to the server explorer. Is there anyway to reuse my existing web.config connection string? My goal is to have a single connection string in my web.config.

Connection Manager Reuse For Oracle And SQL Databases
May 2, 2008I'm trying to implement a configurable way of executing a group of SQL statements using either an Oracle or SQL database as the source for the data.
I'm currently building a connection string with a Script Task and then assigning it to a package variable so that it can be used by a connection manager but this only works with a SQL OLEDB connection.
I'm holding all the connection details in a database table, hence the need for the scripting but would it be possible to extend the task to reuse a single connection manager by changing it's properties?
The Client Was Unable To Reuse A Session With SPID XX
May 11, 2007Hello,
We have a recurring problem with one of our MS SQL Servers (MS SQL Server 2005 SP 1).
The SQL Server serves as a database server for a Web application with approximately 1500 users, the server is dedicated for the DataBase server.
The scenario is that the database servers cpu peaks at 100% and stays there until restart of the SQL Server service.
The error message from the applicatoion log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 18056
The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID 94, which had been reset for conection pooling. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs for failed operations immediately before this error message.
SPID varies.
Anybody that knows anything why this error occurs?

ADO Connection Pooling Error: The Client Was Unable To Reuse A Session With ...
Apr 13, 2006Hello,
We are running SQL2K5 and have a Web server with a family of sites all sharing an identical connection string to enable ADO connection pooling between them. Today for about 20 minutes we had several (all?) connections from one site that uses a specific DB get a connection reuse error which showed in out SQL logs:
DESCRIPTION: The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID #, which had been reset for conection pooling. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs for failed operations immediately before this error message.
We also have SQL Server slowdown and log in problems from other applications that seemed a symptom of this, or some third unknown cause. Note, the # means the run-time spid number was inserted. The misspelling "conection" comes right out of sys.messages (it is not our custom error):
select top 10 * from sys.messages where message_id = 18056
The immediately preceeding error in the SQL Log was always:
Message
Error: 18056, Severity: 20, State: 29.
Where Severity and State vary, but "Error: 18056" is consistent, although I can find no documentation on "Error: 18056" through Google or MSDN.
Also, the "The client was unable to reuse a session ..." error seems not to be referred to anywhere.
In our IIS logs, the matching entries are of the form:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
and
Invalid connection string attribute
My questions: Does anyone have experience with this error? We have real good history with ADO connection pooling, but can a "bad" connection be pooled, and if so can it be "flushed" or the pool "drained"?
Thank you for anything you have to offer!

Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys
Aug 13, 2007Hi,
I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.
For example:
id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]
isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.
Regards

View 2 Replies View Related4 Key Primary Key Vs 1 Key 'artificial' Primary Key
Jan 28, 2004Hi all
I have the following table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[property_instance] (
[property_instance_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[application_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[owner_id] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL ,

[owner_type_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[property_value] [ntext] NOT NULL ,
[date_created] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
[date_modified] [datetime] NULL
)
I have created an 'artificial' primary key, property_instance_id. The 'true' primary key is application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id
In this specific instance
- property_instance_id will never be a foreign key into another table
- queries will generally use application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id in the WHERE clause when searching for a particular row
- Once inserted, none of the application_id, owner_id, property_id or owner_type_id columns will ever be modified
I generally like to create artificial primary keys whenever the primary key would otherwise consist of more than 2 columns.
What do people think the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are? Do you recommend I go with the existing model, or should I remove the artificial primary key column and just go with a 4 column primary key for this table?
Thanks Matt
