Hi,
I want to backup my Sql server as insert and other sql statements. i am not sure how to do it. also i am not able to find any good third party software for the same which can genrate script of complete database instead of table by table (a feature of CodeSmith).
Thanks

Hi all,
I am looking to transfer a database to another db but I just need to copy the data (not drop the tables and recreate them). Is this possible?
I was thinking of backing up the database in a set of insert statements in a file and execute this file to get the desired result. Or alternatively, to use a data flow task with multiple tables if possible.
Hope there is a way.
Thanks,
Yannis
SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.
Need to restore database,here's the scenario:
Data got deleted on Friday evening, need to have database restored to FRiday afternoon and also some data has been entered on Monday, which needs to be there.
Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...

I have only one tape drive.
My server is using the SQL server 2005 backup tool and arcserve backup tool to backup different files .
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use SQL server 2005 backup tool.
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use arcserve backup tool.
It seems that the tape device resource is held by softwares even the tape drive is not in use.
What should I do to make the tape drive shared by different softwares?

I want to know how people are backup up their win2k system and SQL 2000 server. If you want a run backup once a night and first backup win2k file system and then run backup using sql agent will that work?
Thanks.
SQL 7.0 SP1.
We do SQL Server backup and also third part backup (with SQL agent active) of SQL Server databases.
Sometimes happen this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
01.00 third part backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
or this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.10 third part backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
My questions now are:
Are my SQL Server backups valid (DB,Differenatial and T-LOG)?
In case of a restore operation, can I use my SQL Server backups without problem?
In other words, can we leave the third part backup tool active or it should be taken away?
Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.

How can I view the raw SQL code that ASP.NET sends to SQL Server when using parameters?
The code below doesn't display the actual SQL statement, but instead: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.
string SQL = "INSERT INTO [BLAH] VALUES (@startDate)";
SqlConnection mySqlConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DSN"]);
SqlCommand mySqlCmd = new SqlCommand(SQL, mySqlConn);
mySqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@startDate", SqlDbType.DateTime));
mySqlCmd.Parameters["@startDate"].Value = Request.Form["start_date"];
lblSQLDebug.Text = mySqlCmd.ToString();
TIA.

Hai,
I just waana know whether we can use "FOR statement" in Stored Procedures. If yes, can you describe it with some examples of how they are used in stored procedures ?
I am not sure if i am looking correctly at the deadlocks but i see deadlocks between two select statements.These statements are being run through an application. Below is the table schema from where the select is being performed
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CMS_LOCKS7](
[PARENTID] [int] NOT NU, --we have a non clustered index on this column
[CHILDID] [int] NOT NULL, --we have a non clustered index on this column
[ISMEMBER] [int] NOT NULL, -- we have a non clustered index on this column
[ORDINAL] [int] NULL,-- we have a non clustered index on this column
[Code] ....
Hi,
I have recently started using sql server express edition in place of my oracle db instance and have a need to enable trace on this to view some of the selects that are being fired by the application. I am unable to find out how exactly this is done. I was taken to a couple of sites that said that I needed SSEUtil and have installed that also.
Could one of you gurus out there, please help me out as this is pretty urgent for me to find.
TIA
Curious if I have the code below as an example and I execute this code does sql execute from top to bottom? And does the Update run and complete before the delete occurs? Or does SQL execute the update and delete in parallel?
UPDATE tbl1 SET col1 = 1
GO
DELETE FROM tbl1 where col2 = 2
I would like to know if there is any option to Restrict DML statements in SSMS for a user where the same user should be able to perform these actions through application on particular database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question on date manipulation functions and CASE statements
My sql is passed the following parameter's and performs a select using a manipulation on these date param's to get a start and end date range depending on the conditions;-
monthColHeader = eg 'Feb 2015'
defaultStartDate and defaultEndDate
filterStartDate and filterEndDate.
These are my conditions;-
if defaultStart and End = filterStart and End use monthColHeader for the date range
if defaultStart and End != filetrStart and End AND the month/year of filterStart and filterEnd match then use the filterStart & End month/Year with the monthColHeader to get the date range
if defaultStart and End != filetrStart and End AND the month/year of filterStart and filterEnd DON't match use filterStart Day and monthColHeader for our start date and monthColHeader for our end date.
When I say use monthColHeader I mean like this;-
(r.dbAddDate >= (CAST('@Request.monthColHeader ~' AS DATETIME)) AND r.dbAddDate < DATEADD(mm,1,'@Request.monthColHeader ~'))
This sql works for converting say 'Feb 2015' to '2015-02-01' & '2015-02-28'....
I have a main table called Stock for example.
One process ( a service ) inserts data into this table , as well as updates certain fields of the table periodically.
Another process ( SQL Job ) updates the table with certain defaults and rules that are unknown to the service - to deal with some calculations and removal of null values where we can estimate the values etc.
These 2 processes have started to deadlock each other horribly.
The SQL Job calls one stored procedure that has around 10 statements in it. This stored proc runs every minute. Most of them are of the form below - the idea being that once this has corrected the data - the update will not affect these rows again. I guess there are read locks on the selecting part of this query - but usually it updates 0 rows - so I am wondering if there are still locks taken ?
UPDATE s
SET equivQty = Qty * ISNULL(p.Factor,4.5) / 4.5
FROM Stock s
LEFT OUTER JOIN Pack p
on s.Product = p.ProductId
AND s.Pack = p.PackId
WHERE ISNULL(equivQty,0) <> Qty * ISNULL(p.Factor,4.5) / 4.5
The deadlocks are always between these statements from the stored procedure - and the service updating rows. I can't really see how the deadlocks occur but they do.
Another suggestion has been to try and use an exists before the update as below
IF EXISTS( SELECT based on above criteria )
( UPDATE as before )
Does this reduce the locking at all ? I don't know how to test the theory - i added this code to some of the statements, and it didn't seem to make much difference ?
Is there a way to make a process ( in my case the stored procedure ) - give up if it can't aquire the locks rather than being deadlocked - which leads to job failures and emails etc ?
We are currently trying to filter down the data that is updated to be only the last few months - to reduce the amount of rows even analyzed - as the deadlocking does seem to be impacted by the number of rows in the tables.
I have a query with huge number of case statements. Basically I need to short this query with getting rid of these hundreds of CASE statements.
Because of the nature of the application I am not allowed to use a function, and just wondering if there is a possible way to rewrite this with COALESCE().
SELECT
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%cricket%' THEN 'ck' + ',' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%soccer%' THEN 'sc' + ',' ELSE '' END +
....
CASE WHEN A.[RESIUTIL_DESC] LIKE '%base%ball' THEN 'BB' + ',' ELSE '' END
FROM TableName A

How to find particular queries/stored procedures that causing this?
I have a script contains multiple statements to update multiple tables. How can I make sure that either all statements get executed successfully or no changes apply to the tables (in case one or more errors occur)? I've been searching on Internet and it seems like I need to use Rollback and begin transaction.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
When I run the following T-SQL statement using SQLExecDirect with the SQL Server ODBC driver, it seems to indicate to me that the driver is somehow treating the SQL as a batch rather than a single statement.
Code Snippet
IF (1=1)
UPDATE MyTable
SET [Guid] = 'A663EC5D-A3AF-4391-8C45-9EBE87C9FD6C',
[Id] = 1
[FieldA] = 'Always run'
WHERE ([ID] = 1)
ELSE
INSERT INTO MyTable ([Guid],[Id],[FieldA]) VALUES (NEWID(), 2,'Never run')
Now the above statement is only a simplified statement to illustrate my problem, but I've also tested this stripped down version to ensure that I could replicate the problem with it.
Assuming I have the following table definition and data, I would expect that SQLExecDirect return SQL_ERROR due to the unique key constraint being violated on the [guid] column. However, I'm getting a SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO error.
Code Snippet
CREATE TABLE MyTable
(
[Guid] uniqueidentifier,
[Id] int,
[FieldA] varchar(100)
)
INSERT INTO MyTable ([Guid],[Id],[FieldA]) VALUES (NEWID(), 1,'A')
INSERT INTO MyTable ([Guid],[Id],[FieldA]) VALUES (NEWID(), 1,'B')
According to a MS knowledge base article 195297:
In the version 3.6 SQL Server ODBC driver, SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, or SQLParamData returns SQL_ERROR only if no other statements are executed after the first statement. If any other statements are executed after the first, even a simple RETURN statement with no return value, SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO
This makes me think that somehow the SQL Server driver is treating the T-SQL (with IF-ELSE) as a batch of statements (normally delimited with semi colon e.g. "statement1; statement2;").
I'm running MSDE, with SQL Server driver (SQLSRV32.DLL) v2000.85.1117.00 on Windows XP Professional SP2.
However, running the same SQL but changing the driver to the SQL Native Client (SQLNCLI.DLL) v2005.90.1399.00 returns SQL_ERROR as I expect.
Also the same SQL returns the desired error using both SQL Server and SQL Native Client drivers when connecting to SQL Server 2005.
So in summary:
Driver MSDE SQL Server 2005
{SQL Server} SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO SQL_ERROR
{SQL Native Client} SQL_ERROR SQL_ERROR
Is there any settings that I need to set? Does anybody have any ideas?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Hi,
We have unreliable circuits connecting our office to remote sql servers. At our office I need to delete/insert a bunch of records from those remote locations. Since the connection is unreliable what is the best way to check if a server is available before executing delete/insert statements. A few points to consider:
1. I want this to be done in SQL
2. I have a cursor that cycles through a tabe that contains the name of the linked servers. The cursure is used to delete/insert a bunch of records from each remote server.
3. If one server is unavailable the stored proc should continue to the next sql server (next record in the cursor.)
Thanks,
Bradley
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks
Jane
I am trying to take an entire MS SQL database and put it in an sql file. I have succesfully copied the tables into an sql file by highlighting the tables in enterprise manager and choosing 'generate sql script'.
That gives me the structure, but now I would like the data (in insert statements). I have looked in enterprise manager's export wizard and sql analyzer to no avail. There seem to be a lot of options for exporting data except this one! Please point me in the right direction.
At the end of the day, I would like to be able to put everything in a text file. Then, should I have problems, I can just copy my text into query analyzer and have a brand new database.
Thank you in advance.
These separate COUNT queries are very fast:
SELECT COUNT(id) as viewcount from location_views WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
SELECT COUNT(id)*2 as clickcount FROM extlinks WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
But I want to add the COUNT statements, so this is what I did:
select COUNT(vws.id)+COUNT(lnks.id)*2 AS totalcount
FROM location_views vws,extlinks lnks
WHERE (vws.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND vws.objectid=357)
OR
(lnks.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND lnks.objectid=357)
Turns out the query becomes immensely slow. There must be something I'm doing wrong here which results in such bad performance, but what is it?
My team is starting to implement error handling in our sprocs. One question we have is whether or not to use unique error numbers for custom errors (ie Errors we throw after doing some sort of validity check, not SQL Server errors). For example, we might check the value of a parameter and then throw an error that says "Parameter State_Date must be less than today, please retry".
We are using SQL Server 2012 and will be using the THROW statement, not RAISERROR, so we don't HAVE to put the numbers in sys.messages. Also, we are going to log the errors in a table, along with the error message, sproc name, line number, etc.
Is it useful to maintain a custom list of error numbers and messages? Or is it just as useful to use one standard error number and add a custom error message (which we can then search for in our code, or use the sproc name & line number we logged)? And if it is worth maintaining a list of numbers plus messages, should we go ahead and put them in sys.messages?
I created a CTE which finds a subset of records from a table
I then ran a SELECT statement against the same table as
SELECT * FROM TABLE
EXCEPT (SELECT * FROM CTE)
Is it possible to add another EXCEPT statement after the CTE EXCEPT statement to cover a condition not incorporated in the CTE definition?
I have few complex queries and I want to extract the output of results to all different dateformatted output files.
How to write the queries?

When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?
