SQL Server 2005 Is Rtrim Needed In Where Clause?
Aug 13, 2007
When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?

Hi all,I am a newbie to asp and have been using VWD to make a database for an assignment but I am having big problems trying to extract some data to a datalist view. I intend to use this page to display all information of hotel rooms. I know its probably really obvious to some of you but its driving me mad!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim sGetRooms As String = "SELECT RoomID, RoomType, " _ & "RoomName FROM Rooms2 " _ & "WHERE RoomType LIKE @RoomType " _ & "ORDER BY RoomType" Dim sGetroomsizeandprice As String = "SELECT ID, RoomSize, RoomPrice, @RoomType " _ & "FROM roomprices JOIN Rooms2 ON Rooms2.ID = roomprices.ID " _ & "WHERE RoomType LIKE @RoomType " _ & "ORDER BY RoomPrice" Dim sConnect As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("White Sand's Hotel - Dan MahilConnectionString").ConnectionString Using con As New OleDbConnection(sConnect) Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(sGetRooms, con) Dim param As New OleDbParameter("RoomType", OleDbType.VarChar, 10) param.Value = Request.QueryString("RoomType") & "%" da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(param) Try da.Fill(ds, "Rooms2") da.SelectCommand.CommandText = sGetroomsizeandprice da.Fill(ds, "roomprices") Catch ex As Exception Label4.Text = "ERROR: " & ex.Message Exit Sub End Try End Using Dim pkcol As DataColumn = ds.Tables("Room2").Columns("RoomID") Dim fkcol As DataColumn = ds.Tables("roomprices").Columns("ID") Dim dr As New DataRelation("MenuLink", pkcol, fkcol) ds.Relations.Add(dr) DataList1.DataSource = ds DataList1.DataMember = "Rooms2" DataList1.DataBind() End Sub

I understand that for SQL Server rtrim is not needed in where clause equates because SQL Server
automatically trims the spaces. Is rtrim necessary when comparing to a host variable since rtrim is a deterministic function? It it needed in the following example
Select ....
where
TEXT = rtrim(:I--HV-001)
TEXT is a varchar column in the SQL Server database and it is getting compared to the host variable.

I have written following code in my application
I just want to display all the data of a Single table into a Data Grid, I know that we can drag and drop the table on to a form and datagrid is generated, but here I want to retrive those values through my code, how should i do that
I am getting following errors while running the program

Greetings,
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]
END
Thanks

Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.

Hi,
I want to develop a monthly salary report for our employees. The salary is calculated on daily basis for individiaul employees. Thus the report is supposed to display Employee Name, ID etc + 31 columns (representing maximum days in a month). The report will display the employee basic information along with their salary calculation for each day. So its like 35 columns report. I already have used a cursor in my stored procedure with SQL Server 2005 to get this report (displayed in .NET Page) but the performance is more than worst and takes even 3-4 minutes to compile (which ofcourse is unacceptable). There are around 300 employees and they belong to different departments. When we select a given department, all the respective employees report has to be displayed. If i select All Departments, then the entire 300 employees report has to be displayed. I dont want to cache the data as it will have a big performance issue for the server.
I want some good suggestion on how to develop a monthly report in SQL Server 2005 which can display the data with optimized performance. Kindly help of any guru will be highly appreciated.
Regards...

Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
Thanks!

I get the following error when I try to access the database from my web application
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.
The application works when I run it on my local machine, but when I move the application to a remote server, I get the above error.
Below is the connection string section in my web.config file.
<connectionStrings> <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|CiaaASPNETDB.MDF;user instance=true;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=CiaaASPNETDB;Integrated Security=True;user instance=true;Connection Timeout = 0" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> <!--Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|CiaaASPNETDB.MDF;user instance=true;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=CiaaASPNETDB --> </connectionStrings>

Using SQL Server 2000 std. edition, I was bitten by the bug described in KBs 818671 and 289149. Query optimizer using Hash Match Team operators would sometimes fail. I added -T8679 at SQL Server startup.
Now that I'm upgrading to SQL Server 2005, is this trace flag still required?
I see that "this was fixed in SQL 2000, SP1." However, I would like a more precise confirmation that this flag is no longer needed in SQL 2005. Sometimes, no news is not necessarily good news.
The error is intermittent, and at least partially dependent on data conditions not available to me for exhaustive regression testing (or else of course I would do that).
Any info, comments, etc. ... would be welcome.
Thanks ...

I have created a linked report in which I have two screen:
First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar).
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

Afternoon,
I have a few Log Shipped DBs that are working great.
Currently they are set to fire off every 15 minutes 24/7.
My question is this ... I need to get FULL backups of the source DBs in order to restore them on certain Dev boxes.
If I were to execute the full backup on one of these Log Shipped DBs ... how would it affect the log shipping process?
Is there a special method to accomplish this?
As a side note, what would be some concerns/issues if in being able to create the FULL backups and not interupt log shipping, I were to create the backup using a 3rd party tool like Quest LiteSpeed?
I sure wish we were on Enterprise, then I could create a mirror and then snapshot off it to create my backups BUT ... that is not the case as we stand today.
Thanks

Everything is flowing smoothly for the SQL Server Database I have, except one type of retrieval and that is when the where clause has a range of data values to do the retrieval then the performance is terrible. I cannot anticipate every range. There are indexes on the table to try to help; however, nothing seems to help. Has anyone had a similiar problem? Any suggestions to improve performance?

Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId
FR
On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.
Best regards,
Ângelo Vilela

We have Merge Replication publications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition subscribers.
Some articles have filter statements that send rows to multiple subscribers, based on the value of Host_Name() supplied at run-time.
Our publications work for most subscribers, but we have at least one subscriber who downloads too many rows from one of the filtered tables.
When we run the Select SQL from the article's Filter statement it returns the intended 4 rows for this subscriber.
We cut and pasted the filter statement into query analyzer, substituted the subscriber's value for Host_Name(), executed the statement, and got the proper 4 rows for this subscriber in the results.
But when this subscriber syncs her Compact Edition database it downloads 10 rows - the proper 4 rows that the filter statement should pass, plus 6 other rows that she should not download.
Our hypothesis is that the Filter statement is not properly applied to the article when this subscriber syncs.
Other subscribers get the proper rows when they sync, so the publication's filter statement works in some cases, for some values of Host_Name().
We'd like to see the application of the filter statement at run-time (sync-time), but we have not found the text of the filter statement in SQL Profiler output. Should we expect to see the text of the filter statement in SQL Profiler output?
Is there a better way to debug this error?
FYI, here's the text of the article filter statement:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[TBL_USER] WHERE user_sys_id in (
select u.user_sys_id
from tbl_user u
join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid
where t.terr_no_id like (
select
case (select t.data_access_qnty from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
when 2 then (select t.terr_no_id from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
when 3 then (select left(t.terr_no_id,5)+'%' from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
end
)
)
And here's the statement we ran from Query Analyzer:
declare @id varchar(10)
select @id = 'aultnc'
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[TBL_USER] WHERE user_sys_id in (
select u.user_sys_id
from tbl_user u
join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid
where t.terr_no_id like (
select
case (select t.data_access_qnty from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
when 2 then (select t.terr_no_id from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
when 3 then (select left(t.terr_no_id,5)+'%' from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
end
)
)
