SQL Server 2008 :: Populating UserID Field That Comes From One Of 2 Databases
Feb 12, 2015
I have 2 databases: one for our intranet & another for our internet website.In the intranet database, we have a table called "Clients". A new client can be added in one of 2 ways:
1) One of our employees manually adds the client via the intranet
2) A new customer subscribes to our services via our website, thus becoming a new "client" (when subscribing online, we also add a record to an "Accounts" table located in our internet website database, but we'd also like to add a record to our intranet's Clients table as well).
In the client table is a field called "CreatedBy" which expects the UserId of whoever created the account. Again, this UserId can belong to either an employee via the intranet or a new customer via our internet website. how do I distinguish where the UserId in the dbo.Clients.CreatedBy field is coming from?
My 1st thought was to append a negative to the CreatedBy UserId# if it came from a customer via the website, but that just seemed too quirky (i.e. if an employee added a client and his UserId was '10', the Clients.CreatedBy would be '10'. If a customer subscribed via the website, the Clients.CreatedBy would be '-10'. Where customers can once again sign up online. So, I need a way to keep these databases separate but keep track of which db a user's coming from when we create a new Client record.
We have a stock code table with a description field and a brand field - when the data was entered, some of the records were entered with the brand field in the description field.
ie. Code Description Brand ABC1 BLANK DVD SONY ABC2 SONY BLANK DVD SONY
what I need to do is identify where the Brand is in the Description field ...
How do I insert the UserName of the Logged in user into the DB field UserID. I created a web form page, and added a form view control set the page default to Insert Mode. The Page is used to insert data. I have a hidden field called UserID that I would like to capture the Logged in user. I have logged in to the default page with userID and password, added a new record, and the db table field UserID is empty. I have been trying to figure out what I am doing worng, but no luck, Please suggest the best way to do this. I have listed what I have done thus far? I have added the login Control from Login and added it to the page as a hidden field thinking that I needed to have this field on the page to get this to work where you copy the value in the Loginname field to the useridTextbox on the formview1 insert template. I read on line where the method below is better. Please tell me what I am doint wrong.

I have just started to look at SQL and have a theory question that I could apply to a test I want to run. I have some legacy data from a previous project and the database was not designed properly (in my opinion). They have ONE field to capture City and State information. All the data is formatted City, State .
Does SQL have commands that can look at data in a field, strip out info before and info after a comma and then write that to other fields?
So, I would like to normalize this to take the data in a field called CityState and parse it, trim it and then populate two new fields 1) City and 2) State.
I'm a bit stumped at this. I have done this before a bunch of times. The difference is that this time I have two rectangles in the footer. For the each, the visibility is set to an expression which checks whether the page is page 1 or 2. If it is 1, the first rectangle is visible, if 2, the second. When I reference the hidden fields on the main area of the report via ReportItems, they come through fine on the first rectangle, but are invisible on the second. I've tried the same exact fields and every time they are visible in rectangle1, and invisible in rectangle2. What is going on here???
I am using two tables, courses and video with a one to many relationship with the videos table being the many. How do I populate the courseID in the video table with the corresponding courseID from the courses table using a combination of Formview & Gridview or two Gridviews, or a dropdown field populated with the course name and courseID in a Form or details view.This is a simple task in Access accomplished using a dropdown list to select the correct video.
I have around 600 databases in my server, a user need select access of all the databases. will i have to go one by one in all the dbs and create that user and give datareader role to him. or is thr any shorter way to do so????
1.Is it OK to shrink Master, model ? the transaction log for those databases are full . 2.Is it OK to set the Recovery model of Database MODEL as SIMPLE ? at the moment it is in FULL recovery model and the transaction log is Full too
Script to find a value in all databases ? for example I want to find a value contain word “ SQL” in all databases so I will get the information in which database and which table it exists.
My script is only for finding a value in one database.
I have log shipping enabled on databases(primary and secondary) and works fine. I need to implement TDE on the database. I have experience on implementing TDE on databases which are not used for log-shipping.
What are the steps needed to setup TDE which are involved with log-shipping.
I have a new problem with doing a restore of a number of databases using powershell. The script I'm using is based mainly on this one (Part 2 in particular): [URL] .....
The problem I'm having is around the RedgateGetDatabaseName function. My hunch is that its down to the different version of red gate and how sqlbackup works. Basically when the call is made to the function it is returning both the Database Name and the number of row's that the SQL command in the function has ran. I've tried to include a SET NOCOUNT ON at the start of the SQL command in the function but its still returning the now count.
I am working on a task. Currently we are taking a database backup and keeping that backups in a folder. The backups doesn't have time stamp on it. My task is need to get the latest backup and copy that backups into some other server and then restore the database from there.I am planning to create SSIS package.Do we need script task for this task.How to get the .bak with latest create or moidified date. For now we doesn't have timestamp so need to go based on modified date?
We have two databases with same schema and tables (same table names, basically main DB and a copy of the main DB). following is example of table names from 2 DBs.
CREATE TABLE #SourceDatabase (SourceColumn1 VARCHAR(50)) INSERT INTO #SourceDatabase VALUES('TABLE1') , ('TABLE2'),('TABLE3') , ('TABLE4'),('TABLE5') , ('TABLE6') SELECT * FROM #SourceDatabase DROP TABLE #SourceDatabase CREATE TABLE #ArchiveDatabase (SourceColumn2 VARCHAR(50)) INSERT INTO #ArchiveDatabase VALUES('TABLE1') , ('TABLE2'),('TABLE3') , ('TABLE4'),('TABLE5') , ('TABLE6') SELECT * FROM #ArchiveDatabase DROP TABLE #ArchiveDatabase
We need a T_SQL statement that can create one view for each table from both the databases(assuming both databases have same number of tables and same table names). so that we can run the T_SQL on a thrid database and the third DB has all the views (one view for each table from the 2 DBs). and the name of the view should be same as the tables name. and all 3 DBs are on the same server.
the 2 temp tables are just examples, DBs have around 1700 tables each. so we ned something like following for each table.
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE1 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE1] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE1] CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE2 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE2] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE2] CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE3 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE3] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE3] CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE4 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE4] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE4] CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE5 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE5] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE5] CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE6 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE6] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE6]
im trying to measure the amount of CPU used in a backup and restore, using the SQL Server Databases: Backup Restore counter in Perfmon.
I can select The counter, but it does not let me select an instance database to monitor.
see image:
I have 3 instances on my machine, 2 sql 2005 and 1 sql 2008. why do these instances not appear? i dont know how to set up this monitoring.
if i type LOCALHOST or 127.0.0.1 in the "Select counters from computer" text box i can see all databases under my sql 2005 instances, but not the ones under the 2008 instances. I have disabled all sql server 2005 services and can confirm none of the sql 2008 instance databases are showing up.
this is a huge problem, especially for when i start stress testing sql server 2008 in preperation for upgrading.
anyone any ideas on why i cannot see sql server 2008 instances in perfmon? I have tried from a remote pc also with the same results.
I was contacted by the SAN team to test backup/restore of larger databases using a split-mirror backup (BCV) or clone that is taken from production db server and copied to another sql box. They want to use this process once a week. I see the mounted drives with the data/log files. All looks good. Initially I attempted to attach the databases and received (Unable to open the physical file db.mdf Operating System Error 5 Access is denied). I manually granting SQLServerMSSQLUser$<computer_name>$<instance_name> on all of the physical files 20 total. That worked.
Since this will be weekly, the SAN team performed the copy again and now none of the databases can communicate with the newly copied files. NTFS permissions need to be set again. I'm getting (Operating System error 21: the device is not ready). Is there something that I'm missing in this process how the vendor BCV clones the data and SQL communicates with the copied files as I was thinking it would be more automated process?
Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1 select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2 select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1 --> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2 --> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.
How to restrict resources usage based on individual Databases in resource governor?
We have many databases in one instance; I would like to restrict resource usage to each database respectively.
I created 2 pools as pool_login, pool_DBNAME, and 2 workload groups as GroupLogin,GroupDBNAME, and also the classifier function.After setup above, I use following statement to check what sessions are in each group .
Even if there are spids which are accessing database DBNAME, I can’t see that they fall into the group GroupDBNAME and pool pool_DBNAME.
SELECT s.group_id, CAST(g.name as nvarchar(20)), s.session_id, s.login_time, CAST(s.host_name as nvarchar(20)), CAST(s.program_name AS nvarchar(20)) FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g ON g.group_id = s.group_id ORDER BY g.name GO
Following is the code to create pool, group,classifier function:
USE master GO; -- Create a resource pool pool_login. CREATE RESOURCE POOL pool_login WITH
[Code] ....
-- Create a workload group to use this pool.
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP GroupLogin USING pool_login; GO CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP GroupDBNAME USING pool_DBNAME;
[code]....
-- Register the classifier function with Resource Governor.
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION= dbo.rgclassifier_v1); GO
Another table called Address with the following fields:
Id_Address Ds_Street
I want to make the relationship between these tables so that when deleting a related field address in Person is set to null.the SQL Server allows me to make this relationship in only one field.A person can live and work in the same place. If I delete her address, I want the two Individual fields are set to null.
I would like to pull data from two seperate columns based on the vaule for MakeFlag. So if MakeFlag = 0 I would like the description to show but anything else I would like catalog description to show up.
I've got two databases on the same server and replicate some tables from one database to another.The replication is configured so not to drop the table if it exists, but to delete the data based on the filter if one exists. There are two tables on the subscriber that have some extra columns.
I get "field size too large" error when trying to replicate them. Is there a workaround without having to make the publisher and the subscriber tables identical by schema?
I have a table with 201 columns . I am importing 200 columns from a file using DFT. I want update the 201th column with the fileId of the file that just imported. I am storing the fileId of the file in varFileID .
How do I go back and update the 201th column ( column name sfileId) with the varFileID value?
I can use Execute SQL Task but how will I know it's the records of the files that I just imported not other rows.
