I am looking to create an upload process that will check for an Excel in a specific directly, if exists, upload the file and populate the database. I have never done this before (only data extracts). How to do the upload process, is this something that can be done with SQL Server 2012?
View 2 RepliesHi, can I create a background process in SQL Server doing specific jobs periodically? Stored procedure is the only solution?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhy is the PasswordRecovery control creating another sqlservr process after I successfully enter the user name, and for a reason I have not found yet it keeps the database in a read only modem then when I answer my security question correctly it gives me the error:
Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTVER1.0.0.1APP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
I read other post regarding the read only message and I don't if there doing the same thing, but why does this happen and what is the solution to this other not using the control?
According to BOL you can configure an Alert to notify you when the blocked process threshold has been exceeded:
SQL Server 2005 Books Online
blocked process threshold Option
Use the blocked process threshold option to specify the threshold, in seconds, at which blocked process reports are generated. The threshold can be set from 0 to 86,400. By default, no blocked process reports are produced. This event is not generated for system tasks or for tasks that are waiting on resources that do not generate detectable deadlocks. For more information about deadlock detection, see Detecting and Ending Deadlocks.
You can define an alert to be executed when this event is generated. So for example, you can choose to page the administrator to take appropriate action to handle the blocking situation.
Can someone provide some direction on exactly how this is done? Does it require a Service Broker and queue?
I am rewritting our DTS that upload tables in FoxPro to SQL Server using SSIS. I am finding the that SSIS is way slower. My uploads using DTS take just 7 minutes where doing the same thing in SSIS is taking 1 hour 15 minutes.

create table dbo.dataload

now i use a SQL job to check the status column, pick xml and load to appropriate tables. instead of SQL job can i use a trigger whenever there is a insert it fires sp to load data would there be any disadvantage.
I am attempting to do a rather simple purge task on a very large table. This task will need to take place daily and delete records older than 6 months out of the database. On first pass this will delete well over 130 million rows. I thought the best way to handle this is create a proc and call the proc from a SQL Agent Job that runs nightly. Here is an example of the script:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_Purge_WCFLogger
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
EXEC sp_rename 'dbo.logs', 'logs_work'
GO
SELECT * INTO dbo.Logs_Backup FROM dbo.Logs_Work WHERE TIMESTAMP < DATEADD(month, -6, GETDATE())

We upgraded QA and production to sql server 2012 last year ( in place) leaving the user databases at sql 2005 ( 90 ). A few months ago the QA user databases were set to sql 2012 compatibility mode. Management is worried about upgrading production and wants to know if we can quickly roll back.
I want to confirm that we can roll back using the same command, and if dbcc freeproccache can be used to avoid having to update all statistics.
ALTER DATABASE <mydatabase> SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 110
ALTER DATABASE <mydatabase> SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 90
This works fine in QA on my own test user database. No errors.
I am trying to use SQL Server 2012 for the first time. I am running Win 8.1. I create a local website and sample webpage using Visual Studio 2012 for Web. Running this page on my localhost, when it attempts to create a new SQL database this exception is thrown:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
Our log reader process is throwing an access violation error every 10 minutes or so. It runs fine for a bit then fails. Below is, I think, the important info from a stack dump analysis. We are running SQL 2012 SP1 64 bit. I think we can either install SP2 or open a case with Microsoft.

I have an execute process task in SSIS that executes a .Net program.When this is running as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2005, I have no issues. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2003 R2.
Now I'm trying to get this working as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2012. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2012 R2. And now I have issues.
If I run the SSIS package in Visual Studio debug mode, I have no issues! It's only when I try running the same package from a Sql Server Agent job that there are problems. The .Net program errors out with a System.TypeInitializationException.
I thought this might be an issue running the .Net program as 64 bit so I changed the agent setting to 32 bit. That didn't work. I thought it might be an issue with authorization (since I can run it in debug with me as the user). I put in a class in the program that changes the user through impersonation. That didn't work either.
Since I don't have a full-blown version of Visual Studio on the database server, I haven't been able to capture the error and debug the program to see where it is blowing up.
why something like this would work in Sql Server 2005/Windows 2003 but not in Sql Server 2012/Windows 2012 when run as an agent job? And on top of that, why would it work when I run it manually in debug mode but not when run as an agent job?
I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.
I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.
But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.
@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And I am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.
and my file name like
Product_20120607060930.txt
Product_20130708060930.txt
My file structure is:
ID,Name,City,Country,Phone
1,Riya,Pune,India,454564
2,Jiya,New Jersey,India,454564
3,Riya,St Louis,USA,454564
4,Riya,Belleville,USA,454564
5,Riya,Miami,USA,454564
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.

I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questions
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
I have stored procedure .In SP i am using cursur to load data from Parent to several child table.
I have attached the script with this message.

A project I'm working on consists of a Main stored procedure which then runs about 30 nested procedures. The client wants to know when a certain nested SP fails, but wihtout rollbacks, as they may want to fix a data item manually (such as a missing Patient ID, that they have to call someone about). At this point, we don't want to roll back anything but halt the rest of the nested SP's and send out an email to someone that they have to check out a missing PatientID.
I'm wondering if an SSIS package would handle this better than just using a Stored Procedure. When that SP runs, it will also update a "Process tracking" table in the backend, that would update [Lastprocessran] with a number. I'm thinking that if they run the main SP again, after making a manual correction, that they could re-run the main SP, and it would bypass any step that already ran successfully based upon the [Lastprocessrun] number.
Now I have a different constellation: Integration Services run on one server, in version 2014, the Analysis Services instance to process the cube database on runs on another server, version 2012.I tried several different combinations of SSIS version and Analysis Management Objects version, and got several errors while running the process package (e.g. object reference not set to an instance of an object, cannot find AnalyisServices.dll..)
Is this combination 2014/2012 possible at all?I assume the BIDS version has to be for SQL Server 2014, as I want to run SSIS packages on a 2014 server, is that correct? Does it matter at all, can I also deploy 2012 packages?Which version of Analysis Management Objects do I have to use? I assumed I have to use version 11.0 here, because I want to process a 2012 cube?If it is possible to use the "old" 11.0 version of AMO, do I have to do anything so that it can be found by the SSIS package running on the server (it was built on my local computer, there I have all SQL Server versions from 2005 to 2014 installed in parallel), or do I just have to copy it to the appropriate SQL Server folder?
Is there away to get the SQL FK constrain to trust old data when the FK is created with NoCheck.?
Some things to ponder
- Assume the table where the FK is created is too large and cant afford a significant down time, but still need the query optimizer to trust the data in the FK for optimal query plans.
- As pre-deploy script will validate the older data in the FK columns for consistency
I have a

We have 2 SQL 2012 servers. Our application has 2 databases. We are creating an AlwaysOn cluster. Is it good to create 2 AlwaysOn clusters to have 1 database primary on one of the servers and the other database primary on the other server?
I have been asked if it is possible to have one database running on one server and the other database on the other server. Is this possible without creating 2 separate AlwaysOn clusters?
I am working with the SP tuning. I want to know clearly about the temp tables.Instead of Select * into #table, it is always better to create temp table structure and insert the data later.Is it true in the case, if the data is small? insert into #table (select colmn1, column 2 from TableA join Table B on JoinC on joinD on..If they use several joins, in that situation, which way of creating temp table would be better?

I am try to put together options in regard to creating a test environment for our Dynamics NAV system. The environment will be mainly used to test new releases / changes ahead of applying them to production.The 2 options I am considering are…
1.Create a second Test instance on our Production SQL Server to host a test database
2.Purchase a set of SQL developer licences and having a totally separate server for our test environment.
My preference would be option 2. However I need to build a convincing case that this is the best way forward. I wondered if I could tap into the thoughts of the SQL Central community and see how other approach this.
I have a fact table with few flag columns.
What is the best way to bring them to dimension?

Shift_start meal_break shift_endShift ID
1 0 0 1
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 1
1 0 0 2
0 0 0 2
0 0 1 2
I need to find a method to assign unique Shift IDS to rows that correspond to a single shift. For instance, the first shift would begin on the first row when shift_start flag is turned on, and end on the third row when shift_end flag is turned on.
Can I do this in SQL ?...some kind of grouping ?

I need to ensure some naming standards to users while creating tables.
All table name should be in same pattern
