I am trying to create a trigger that on update of a single record will set the date on that single record to todays date, ie so i can see when a record was changed. However is there a better way?
Thanks
Brian
I don't know why my company did this, but dates are being stored in a char field within our database. Meanwhile, I've been setting up new pages using datetime.
That's just a little back story. My question is, is it possible to change the format of all dates in the table from yyyy/MM/dd to MM/dd/yyyy in the char field? I'm just trying to think of an easier way to change a thousand or so records instead of doing it manually.
Thanks.
Is there a table where last DDL change date exists? For instance, if I have added a column to a table is there anywhere I can find when this occurred? Auditors are askng about this.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add records to a table that includes datetime value using INSERT query.
No matter what date value I'm giving the query, the value saved is 1/1/1900 00:00 .
Also, I'm interested in saving only the short date, without time. I thought changing the type from datetime to smalldatetime would do the job, but it didn't help.

Hi All,
I have two drive, C and D. When first time I installed SQL Server 2005, I think that I point to C drive which is having only 10 GB, instead of drive D which has bigger space. Now, I have a problem of restoring my database due to lack of space on my C drive. Can anyone guide me to change the instance of database from drive C to drive D.
TIA

Hi
We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
many thanks in advance; GaryP
Scenario
Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005.
Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' -
1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability>
on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table
BCP out data
DROP TABLE
RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS)
BCP in data
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance

Hi there!
My provider does not yet support SQL Server 2005, they are still on SQL Server 2000. I put together a very basic login page, but it is crashing everytime I access it because of this problem, and sadly I am not advanced enough as yet to know how to remedy it! Can you help?
Here is the error page, some of it; - Any ideas gratefully received!

Hi all,
I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config.
Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in.
Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
Many thanks

Please Help!!
We have an application using SQLOLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. Per domain policy, the users are required to change their password every 60 days.
The accounts are established to 'Enforce password policy'.
When we try to execute the 'ALTER LOGIN' command to change the password, locks are being established and will not free the account without bouncing the instance.
After issuing the command, any interaction with the server using this UserID results in a "lock request time out" error 1222.
I have tried issuing this command using both the application and through SQLServer Mgmt Studio Express and the results are the same.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

I need a SQL Server 2005 SP2 instance with a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2. After installing SP2, the collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN, and none of the patches I can find seem to want to work (they are all apparently written for SQL Server 2000).
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Have an interesting situation.
I have a NeverFail cluster on which I loaded SQL Server 2005 and SP1.
All was great. Both nodes had no issues with the initial setup or the SP1 update.
When I forced a failover to the inactive node, MOST of the services like SSIS, Full-Text and SQL Browser came up like a champ.
BUT ... the SQL Server service and the SQL Agent did not come up (or shall I say not fully).
I am now looking at the SQL Server Configuration Manager and I see the following for the SQL Server service:
"Name" shows the RED block icon for the SQL Server
"State" shows "Change pending ..."
"Start Mode" is set to Manual
"Log on as" has my domain account listed
"Process ID" has the number 2956 (so it has started somewhat).
I then click open the SQL Service item and it shows that it is stopped.
I am given the option to START the service. When I try to start it, the meter bar comes up and moves slowly to the end and then an error returns of ...
"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely manner. Consult the event log or other applicable errors logs for details"
If I look under windows Services in the Admin Tools section... I see the services for SSIS, FT and Browser listed and started BUT I see SQL Server says its "starting".
If I click open the service from here, once again it show "starting" and all of the option buttons to Stop-Start-Pause-Resume are grayed out and I am not able to use them.
I have looked in the Windows Event Logs for any events but none are present.
Now I know why the SQL Agent is not running, and of course that is due to is dependency on SQL Server being up and running.
First off WHAT does the "Change pending" message mean?
Then what other logs can I look at for some help or is there someone who has the answers to this dilemma.
Thanks and have a great evening
hi all,
I have created a table in sql server 2005 as follows:
table name --> sampletest
1.id -->int ,identity,primary key

2. active --> bit, default value=1
Using vb.net 2005 , i entered names into sampletest. And when i check the table in the sql server 2005 the names are inserted and the active value is 1.
In another page i added a drop down list which bind all the student_name from sampletest and a delete button.
Now when i select a name and click the delete button that respective item's active column should be changed to 0. if any one who knows how to do this please help me..
thanks

Hi All,
I am now working on the design phase of my project, we are looking to implement Change Data Capture (CDC) but i need some help if you guys has implemented before using the SSIS 2005 componets. I am trying to use the Following:
Source---------Derived Column---------Lookup---------------Conditional Split (to split New records and Updated Records)-----------Destination. Respectively.
Lets make it clear, my source holds (Old records and newly added or Updated records), the Derived Column is to Derive new columns called Insert_Date and Update_Date. The Lookup i am Using is to look the Fact_Table(the Old Records) as Reference, and then based on this lookup i will split the records on timely based using the Conditional Split. My question is
1. Am i using the right components?
2. what consideration should i have to see to make it true (some Logics on the conditional split)?
3. Any script which helps in this strategy?
4. If you have a better idea please try to help me, i need you help badly.
Thank you,

SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
I have been using Access 2003 as a front end to a SQL 2k database. Dates are sorted in a descending fashion. I recently upgraded the sql server database to 2005 and dates can no longer be sorted properly. I have set the database compatibility level to sql2000 within the sql2005 database engine but no luck. Any suggetions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
Thank you,
Matt
