SQL Server 2008 :: Displaying Transaction Time Punch Data In A Time Card Form?
Oct 7, 2015
I have a table called employee_punch_record that we use to store employee time clock punches.
The columns are:
employeeid,
punch_timestamp,
punch_type (In / Out),
closed (bit used as status for open or closed pay periods),
ident
Here are some examples of a record:
bkingery62015-10-06 16:59:04.000In0
bkingery72015-10-06 16:59:09.000Out0
bkingery82015-10-06 16:59:13.000In0
bkingery92015-10-06 18:22:44.000Out0
bkingery102015-10-06 18:22:46.000In0
bkingery112015-10-06 18:22:48.000Out0

We are using SQL Server 2008 as our database and use Access as a GUI. I am looking to create a form in Access where employees can access their time card and request changes from management. I want to use the format from the attached screen shot for the form. I pretty much know how to do it all, the only point of complication is trying to figure out the easiest way to get the transaction punch record data on employee_punch_record into a format where I can easily populate the form in the horizontal format you see in the screen shot.
I am not super strong in SQL, but figure I can do it using a formatting table of some sort. quick and easy way to move transaction records into a more horizontally oriented record?

Hi all,
I have created several global temp tables to cache some intermediate results ...
However, it seems that after a while those tables will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically (I have not restarted the server and no drop table statement ever executed against those tables). Is this a feature by design? How to make those global temp tables persistence to next service restart?
Thanks,
Ning

Hi,
We need to select rows from the database that have been recently inserted/updated. We have a main primary table (COMMIT_TEST) and a second update table (COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE). The update table contains the primary key and a LAST_UPDATE field which is a datetime (to tell us when an update occurred). Triggers on the primary table are used to populate the update table.
If we insert or update the primary table in a transaction, we would expect that the datetime of the insert/update would be at the commit, however it seems that the insert/update statement is cached and getdate() is executed at the time of the cache instead of the commit. This causes problems as we select rows based on LAST_UPDATE and a commit may occur later but the earlier insert timestamp is saved to the database and we miss that update.
We would like to know if there is anyway to tell the SQL Server to not execute the function getdate() until the commit, or any other way to get the commit to create the correct timestamp.
We are using default isolation level. We have tried using getdate(), current_timestamp and even {fn Now()} with the same results. SQL Queries that reproduce the problem are provided below:
/* Different functions to get current timestamp €“ all have been tested to produce the same results */
/*
SELECT GETDATE()
GO
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
GO
SELECT {fn Now()}
GO
*/
/* Use these statements to delete the tables to allow recreate of the tables */
/*
DROP TABLE COMMIT_TEST
DROP TABLE COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
*/
/* Create a primary table and an UPDATE table to store the date/time when the primary table is modified */
CREATE TABLE dbo.COMMIT_TEST (PKEY int PRIMARY KEY, timestamp) /* ROW_VERSION rowversion */
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE (PKEY int PRIMARY KEY, LAST_UPDATE datetime, timestamp ) /* ROW_VERSION rowversion */
GO
/* Use these statements to delete the triggers to allow reinsert */
/*
drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_INSERT
drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_DELETE
*/
/* Create insert, update and delete triggers */
create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_INSERT on COMMIT_TEST for INSERT as
begin
declare @time datetime
select @time = getdate()
insert into COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE (PKEY,LAST_UPDATE)
select PKEY, getdate()
from inserted
end
GO
create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE on COMMIT_TEST for UPDATE as
begin
declare @time datetime
select @time = getdate()
update COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
set LAST_UPDATE = getdate()
from COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE, deleted, inserted
where COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE.PKEY = deleted.PKEY
end
GO
/* In our application deletes should never occur so we don€™t log when they get modified we just delete them from the UPDATE table */
create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_DELETE on COMMIT_TEST for DELETE as
begin
if ( select count(*) from deleted ) > 0
begin
delete COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
from COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE, deleted
where COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE.PKEY = deleted.PKEY
end
end
GO
/* Delete any previous inserted record to avoid errors when inserting */
DELETE COMMIT_TEST WHERE PKEY = 1
GO
/* What is the current date/time */
SELECT GETDATE()
GO
BEGIN TRANSACTION
GO
/* Insert a record into the primary table */
INSERT COMMIT_TEST (PKEY) VALUES (1)
GO
/* Simulate additional processing within this transaction */
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'
GO
/* We expect at this point that the date is written to the database (or at least we need some way for this to happen) */
COMMIT TRANSACTION
GO
/* get the current date to show us what date/time should have been committed to the database */
SELECT GETDATE()
GO
/* Select results from the table €“ we see that the timestamp is 10 seconds older than the commit, in other words it was evaluated at */
/* the insert statement, even though the row could not be read with a SELECT as it was uncommitted */
SELECT * FROM COMMIT_TEST
GO
SELECT * FROM COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
Any help would be appreciated, we understand we could make changes to the application/database to approximate what we need, but all the solutions have identified suffer from possible performance issues, or could still lead to missing deals (assuming the commit time is larger than some artifical time window).
Regards,
Mark

I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyOptions
where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyTimetable
where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.

Hi all,
I have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance
sudheer racha.

Sample Table
USE [Testing]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.

Can I use a full and differential backup to restore to a point of time?
Or I have to use full and transaction log backups in order to do a point of time restore?
I found today when I tried to restore a db from another database at the point of time for example 3:10 pm,
SSMS automatically select the full backup + the transaction backup that is done at 3:00 pm, but not select full + the differential backup I did at 3:12pm.
So I lost those records entered after 3:00pm.
I supposed it should use the differential backup and restore to 3:10. but it didn't.

I've been working with Database Mail for some time but I haven't seen this one before. I have a maintenance plan that does the following:
1. Check database integrity
On Success:
2. Perform backups
On Success:
3. Perform a maintenance cleanup
On Success:
4. Notify operator of success
Steps 1 - 3 are also linked (via On Failure arrows) to a singular Notify Operator of Failure task.
The maintenance plan does exactly what I want it to, and if everything goes correctly, it successfully sends an email to an operator.
If steps 1 - 3 fail, the job ends in an error state, but does not trigger the Notify Operator of Failure task.
I was able to recreate the problem by creating another maintenance plan on the same instance with the same steps. Its "Notify Operator" on failure task also doesn't work.
It occurs to me that maybe I'm missing something, so here's some of the details of my SQL server:
SQL 2008 + SP1 (10.0.2531) x64 on Windows 2008 R2
DB Mail profile is public and default
I do have a slightly unusual profile, in that it uses two accounts:
1. A connection to a SharePoint SMTP service (where it catches emails directed at document libraries)
2. A connection to a UNIX-based smtp server (which routes mail to regular mailboxes and my SQL DBA mailing list)
The Profile will attempt to send to the SharePoint server first. The SharePoint server does not relay. If the document library email address doesn't exist, SQL will raise a warning (in the Database Mail log) and the profile will use the second account on the list, which is a real mail server and can relay the message to any mailbox.
It works really well, actually. When the maintenance plan completes successfully, the message is sent to the drop folder on the SharePoint server, and SharePoint routes the email to the correct library, and we have a central archive of all DB Mail notifications.
But if the job fails (for example, if the backup disk is out of space), none of this happens. According to the log, the job doesn't even try to send a notification. Looking at the DBMail log, the Mail service does not start. No email is delivered to the drop folder of the receiving SMTP server. So I don't think my Database Mail configuration is the problem here. It is apparently something to do with the way the job itself handles errors.

We have a 1TB Database. Our backup strategy looks like this.
Weekly Full backups - Saturday 10pm. (Takes anywhere between 5 - 9 hours)
twice Nightly Diffs (8:30p and 2:30am - Mid week this takes roughly 1.5 hours)
Hourly Log backups starting at 4:00am until 11pm.
I have an issue where I need to restore to 3:00 today. If my (2:30a)Diff is still running at that recovery point.
I am getting an error when trying to restore Full/2:30a Diff/4a Log with a stopat 3:00a.
Error telling me my log backup is incorrectly formed.
Can I, in fact, restore to this point at all? Do I need to go back to my previous Diff (8:30p) and restore the logs, if so, which ones?
My nighttime Diff ran from 8:30 - 10p.
I have logs at 9p, 10p, 11p, 4a

We have many users with a mobile application running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog) we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I encountered a very strange problem again. Why the time series displayed on the chart are so strange? The Key time column I chose for my time series algorithm is cal_month(e.g 199001...), but why the date displayed on the time series chart is like :05/06/2448? (it should be like 199001..?) What is that data? And where exactly did it come from? What is the exact cause of this?
Hope it is clear for your help.
I am really confused on this and thanks a lot for your kind advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi there,
We have a Principle, Mirror and Witness set-up and all is working fine, however, the transaction logs for a few large databases just keep growing over a the course of the month until the disk is full. As I understand it, and having tried you can't dump the transaction logs while mirroring is configured, is there any way at all to commit and truncate the logs while mirroring is running or do I have to manually remove the mirroring each month, dump the transaction logs and then re-enable it again after doing the backup/restore?
The databases in question are about 6GB in data size and the transaction logs can grow to be about 60GB in a month.
Would a normal SQL Server 2005 backup truncate the logs if I configured this? At the moment we use Litespeed for SQL server for nightly backups.
Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi, i'm trying to run wrap a transaction around a block of code to make sure every statement is carried out. Here's what i have:
using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope())
{ ... ts.Complete();}The code executed in the ... part is a set of sql commands within my dal. If this above expression takes less than 30 seconds everything is carried out correctly, however if it takes longer than 30 seconds i receive an sql timeout error. I tried modify the above code to:
using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)))
{ ... ts.Complete();}
But it did not seem to make a difference. I suppose the easiest option would be to increase the timeout for every sql command in my dal but i feel that the 30 second timeout is sufficient for a single command.
Appreciate if someone could tell me how this should be done correctly. Thanks

[code].....
I can see how I could remove the nulls where the date_serial values are the same:
select ce.date_serial,ward_id,consultant_id from #temp_consultant_episode ce
join #temp_ward_stay ws
on ce.date_serial=ws.date_serial
but I can't see how to move forward from here.

We have poor performance spikes on a drive containing our log file but this is only for reads and seems to be at a time when we run a re-index job. If this is a likely correlation as to poor performance in reading the log file, and what reads are done from a log file.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why my transaction log backup is taking up to an hour to complete. I started off with a full recovery model with a Full database back up every Sunday, differential backups every Tuesday/Thursday and log backups every 5 minutes. I would have thought that the log file backups would execute much quicker because I'm backing them up more often.
Here is my backup statement, I'm hoping I've got a wrong option that you can point out to me:
BACKUP LOG [xxxx] TO [LogFilexxxxBackups] WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'xxxx log backup', SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
