Greetings,
I got severe data corruption issue today when I copied a SQLServer2000 database from our remote server to my local PC through enterprise manager. The new copy on my local PC did not have any records in the user tables, and when I looked at the remote server, the records gone either with only table skeletons and procedures there. The mdf file on the remote server is emptied at all, but that on my local PC still has 50MB. I think there are data in this file, but the ldf log was also emptied, but I cannot recover it -- I do not have backup and the ldf file was also emptied.
I ran checkdb, and it did not tell any error but show that all the user defines tables has zero records.
I wonder whether there is now any way to recover the data. They are important and I really dont want to lose them.
Thanks in advance!

I just finished installing SQL Server 2012 with the SQL Server Replication feature component checked. On configuring transaction replication, i notice the distribution database wasn't there. I ran the below query
EXEC sp_get_distributor And the value for distribution_db_installed is 0 as shown below
installed distribution server distribution db installed is distribution publisher has remote distribution publisher

What I want to do is return a row of data when my query doesn't return a record. I have two tables:
CREATE TABLE dbo.abc(
SeqNo smallint NULL,
Payment decimal(10, 2) NULL
) ON PRIMARY
[Code] ....
So when I run the following query:
SELECT 'abc' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM abc WHERE SeqNo = 1
UNION
SELECT 'def' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM def WHERE SeqNo = 1
abc-1-200.00
abc-1-500.00
As you can see since 1 doesn't exists in table 'def' nothing is returned as expected. However, if a row isn't returned I want to be able to enter my own row such as
abc-1-200.00
abc-1-500.00
def-0-0.00

For the past couple of days I've been having an issue with Reporting Services. From what I can understand reporting services doesn't work well when exporting to word.
The scenario is quite simple, I am developing a report for a client with a 'master page', which works as the cover, and executes 2 sub-reports with one table each, nothing fancy. We don't export this report to pdf, because the internal client has to attach another report that is impossible to automate, so they generate that report via excel and integrate it on our word document before sending the document to their business partners.
Our main problem is that we can't export the header/footers to word.

I'm using DTS to import a text file (fixed field). In my sample data, I have 21 rows of data.
DTS only brings in 15 or so, because it fails to recognize the CRLF on some of the rows, and just treats it and the subsequent row as part of the previous row.
The text file is being produced via FTP from an IBM Iseries. It imports just fine into Notepad and Excel.
Anyone have any ideas why DTS would have trouble with this ?
Thanks
Greg

I have a number of jobs which in step one create a flat file from my databases using an expression to insert the date (yyyy-mm-dd) within the file name. I am then in step two using send mail to send those files to my users, again using an expression to reference the attached file.
When the first step's file is already created and I'm overwriting, the job runs fine either manually within Business Studio or as a scheduled job via SQL Agent. But when the files are being created in step one, the job fails validation with the message that the send mail file attachment doesn't exist! SSIS doesn't seem to recognize that the file is being created in the prior step. Could this be true? Or is there some other problem that I'm missing?

Hi All there!I am quite new in MS SQL administration so let me explain how it workon Your instances of SQL Servers.We have several DTS packages on our server, all of them managed onsome station which have seriously hardvare problem. So we wolud liketo catch two problems at one time and decided to develop systematicway of DTS manipulation.One of several aspects of this operation would be migration fromsystem ODBC data sources definitions into file ODBC sources ( .dsnfiles) in order to make them easier to manage ( backup for example,and even reusability on other workstations). All .dsn files should belocated on some network resource (\server\directory...) which wouldbe set as default ODBC directory in ODBC administrator on managementstation.When I begin to do so, then it apears that EM DTS Designer does notremember the path to the DSN files ( for example on design panel Ichose file dsn and by browse button point at the certain .dsn file,and then after DTS save the path disapears).Do You use this facility ( file .dsn) in DTS EM Designer, or maybe MShas it treated as usless, and nobody wants to use this?RegardsK

I have a ForEach file enumerator that executes a data flow for every source file in a specified directory. If there are no files in the directory, the package executes with a result code of 0.
I need the package to fail if there aren't any files found in the specified load directory. Is there a simple way to do this with the SSIS component, or will I have to script the entire file enumeration process inside script tasks to handle this requirement?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question. Please post replies to this forum.

I am trying to convert a certificate that was exported from our database server to be used by SQL Server for database encryption. When I run the PVKConverter, not Private Key File (PVK) is generated.The certificate has Server and Client Authentication as the purposes of the certificate.
What purpose or purposes does the certificate need in order to be able to be used by SQL Server 2012 SP2?Why doesn't the PVKConverter generate a private key file?I can use the command makecerts to generate a self signed certificate and have it work with SQL Server database encryption.

Hi,
I just started working with Visual Web Devloper 2005 Express Developer and sql server 2005 Express Edition. My web is hosted with 1and1.com. They have informed me that I can't upload the database generated by the developer software and from what I understand, I will import those files into the mssqlserver database on my site. From my limited understanding, this is done from the backup file that is created from my local sql database. I didn't see a way to do that within VWD 2005 so I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I opened it I chose the SQLServer (sqlExpress) located on my computer. The connection seems to work fine. However when I go to open a file and open the database that is in my web I get an error that states that there is no editor and to be sure the aplication for file type .mdf has been installed.
I'm not sure where to go from here or if I'm even on the correct path.
Thanks,
Leesha

Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 *
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010
eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
Any idea?

I created a simple SSIS package that takes a Flat File Source (CSV file) and Imports it into a OLE DB Destination ([TestCSVImport].dbo.Table1). I have other CSV files I'd like to import, but I don't want to import entries where column "ordereID" (PK) are the equal. Just want to import the new data found in the CSV files. I tried adding a Lookup in-between the Flat File Source and the OLE DB Destination, but I'm not sure how to accomplish only importing new data.

This problem is a bit weird but I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced this.
I have a package that has file system tasks (copying dtsx files actually). Basically the package copies other packages to a pre-defined destination. Thing is, it only works if one of the packages it is configured to copy has some sort of sensitive data (e.g., a connectionstring with a password), otherwise it reports a success message on execution but doesn't actually do anything. I've checked the forcedexecutionresult and it is set to None for that matter.
Just wondering if anybody else experienced this problem and of course if there's a way to solve it.
Thanks.

I need to write a process to get file size in kb and record count in a file. I was planning on writing a c# console app that takes the file path and name as a param however should i use a CLR?
I cant put a script in the ssis when it's bringing the file down because it has been deemed that we only use ssis for file consumption.

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

The TEMPDB transaction log file keeps growing.The database server is new and the transaction log was presized to 1 GB on installation. After installing a number of databases, the log file grew over a day to 38GB. Issuing a manual checkpoint was the only way to free some space to allow it to be shrunk back to a usable size. The usage of the file is still going up.
I am struggling to find what process is causing the log to be used so heavily. Looking at the log reuse wait desc for tempdb returns "Nothing" and tempdb itself isn't being used very much or growing in size.

"SSIS 2012 Catalog doesn't have option to give read access to SSIS Catalog to view package run reports" ... Any luck allowing power developers / operators access to READ the SQL 2012 SSIS Execution Reports without granting them SSIS_Admin or Sysadmin?
According to this link posted back in 2011 (w/ Microsoft's feedback in Nov 2011: "We’re closing this issue as “Won’t Fix.” At this point the bug does not meet our bar for resolving prior to SQL Server 2012 RTM. As we approach the SQL Server 2012 release the bar for making code changes gets progressively higher." URL....Regarding Permissions to SSIS Catalog, here are the findings. We can give access in three ways:
1. READ Access – We can provide a user db_datareader access. With this the user can see the objects within the SSIS catalog database, but cannot see the reports.
2. SSIS_ADMIN – Add the user to this database role in SSISDB. With this the user can view the reports. But it also provides them privileges to modify catalog information which is not expected. We can add it using below script EXEC sp_addrolemember 'ssis_admin' , 'REDMONDPAIntelAnalyst'
3. SYSADMIN - Add the user to this server role. This will make the user an admin on the SQL server. This is not intended. Is there any method available which will have provision to give read only access to see SSIS Catalog package execution reports and not having modify Catalog access.

I have a filetable that contains a binary file. I need to do a selective read of the file stored in the file table. I can write a C# CLR function that will open the file, read n bytes the from a starting byte. Or I can write a SQL statement that reads the stream in the filetable into a VARBINARY variable using SUBSTRING beginning at the starting byte (offset from 1) for the same n bytes.
Both give me the same result. However, the SQL statement takes considerably longer to read. I know there is overhead in reading through SQL (interpreted language), but the difference in performance is substantial, and I can only attribute this performance degradation if SQL first tries to "load" the entire stream before it identifies the portion of the stream that it needs to read beginning at the starting byte offset.
I wonder if this is the case or if there is another option to read a stream from a filetable directly through SQL queries that is more efficient.

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

We have a large 'History' database that is currently about 4.5TB, with most of that in a datafile that is 4.2TB. We wanted to stop growth on the one large data file and have SQL Server allocate new data to the other data files, but this throws an error when we attempt to change the MAXSIZE settings:
ALTER failed for Database 'History'
MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than or equal to current size.
The SQL Server is saying we can have a max size of 2TB, and anything over that is blocked. Since this is being blocked, the file continues to grow.
Is there any way to cap the growth of the 4.2TB file and not allow any more data to be written to it?

We have a database called "ih".
On Saturday the mdf file was 41.8 GIG. Today it is currently 79.1 GIG.
I've restore the DB to a new db from Saturday to compare to see where the growth is happening. That db is called "ih_restore".
I've found the following script which reports the size of each table of the database -
SET NOCOUNT ON
DBCC UPDATEUSAGE(0)
-- DB size.
EXEC sp_spaceused
-- Table row counts and sizes.
CREATE TABLE #t
(
[name] NVARCHAR(128),
[rows] CHAR(11),
[Code] ....
I've run it for ih and ih_restore and can see that the "reserved" and "data" fields are growing but no extra rows - so no inserts are happening in the database?? What or why will this be happening.
Example of csv file of a table that I've exported -
From ih -
name,rows,reserved,data,index_size,unused
em_comm_costing,384191,1011704 KB,512424 KB,498648 KB,632 KB
From ih_restore
name,rows,reserved,data,index_size,unused
em_comm_costing,384191,119808 KB,62960 KB,56088 KB,760 KB
So the em_comm_costing rows are 384191 in both but the data field has increased to 512424 from 62960.
The database is being mirrored as well, but not sure if that would be effecting the size?

I am in the middle of capturing a workload to try and tune a SQL instance and was wondering what kinds of sizes people capture in terms of traces. I am only 1 day into a capture and I believe a typical workload would be a week long capture and I am already at 10GB of files. I am only capturing rpc_completed and sql_batch_completed.
What sizes of workloads do other people capture and then where do you analyse them, do you have particular dedicated server for this kind of thing as at present I am looking to use my local PC. Also what rollover file sizes do people tend to use, I am currently using 1GB.
