SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Use Proper Quotes In The Statement?
May 22, 2015
I'm automating some of the TDE stuff and while doing so stuck somewhere. I'm unable to use section [ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = ''"' + @db_pswd + '"'' ] properly as in if the user (DBA) wants to pass a single quote(') in the password, then it will fail.
I used quoted_identifier OFF/ON outside my proc, no luck still.

I'm trying to handle a stored procedure parameter. What needs to happen is that a particular statement shouldn't be executed if the parameter is empty. However, when I try it I get the following error:Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.So, what's the correct way of doing the following?IF @filename <> ""BEGIN UPDATE Experimental_Images SET contentType = @contentType, filename = @filename WHERE (id = @iconNo)END
select * from tblCalls where TNum = [NUMBER] and Street like '[TEXT]'
The problem is that the Street field contains street names with quotes (ex. DE L'ACADIE). When I run this query using this street name, it doesn't work because of the ' between the L and the A. How can I tell SQL to "ignore" the ' in the text?
I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS C:UsersJason KurantDesktop Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.
I have a periodic backup task, and when I need a development copy on which to test code, I restore my most recent backup to a different name, switch the ODBC link to that name on my development machine and have a current copy of the database to play with.
I've been doing this for years, and it works great. Just now I did it, and suddenly my development machine is unable to run any stored procedures that have the 'Execute as owner' clause in their definition. I'm using domain accounts, my personal account is the owner of the database, and everything works on the production copy, which is in the same instance on the same machine.
The test copy is identical to the production copy, which continues to work fine - it was just created using by restoring the backup of the production copy, but I can't run anything with this clause. As soon as I delete the 'Execute as owner' line, the procedure is suddenly available. If I put it back, I'm locked out again.
The error message is: The server principal “sa” is not able to access the database “WhateverDB” under the current security context
In Code Behind, What is proper select statement syntax to retrieve the @BName field from a table?Using Visual Studio 2003SQL Server DB I created the following parameter:Dim strName As String Dim parameterBName As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@BName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) parameterBName.Value = strName myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterBName) I tried the following but get error:Dim strSql As String = "select @BName from Borrower where BName= DOROTHY V FOWLER " error is:Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'V'.

I am trying to reorganise the log files on a server, (long story short they are fragmented so I want to shrink and reset the initial size and growth) and I am unable to shrink them. When I run the following:
use test DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log, TRUNCATEONLY) --or use DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log,2, TRUNCATEONLY)
I get the following message:
Msg 8985, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate file 'test_log' for database 'test' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped.
I get this message for every database on the server. I got the logical name of the file using sp_helpfile and have checked it against sys.masterfiles, sys.database_files and sys.sysaltfiles, all match up and confirm the name 'test_log'.
I rebooted the server last night and was able to shrink the first couple of .ldf's I tried so I presumed it was fixed. This morning when I try again i get the sanme error, I don't see anything in the SQL server or system logs that indicates a change.
I am able to add new log files and remove log files, however if I add a new log file (test_log2) and then try and truncate that file I get the same error.

I am running sql script inside job.But sql is not saving the results in the file which i specified('Unable to open Step output file'). I tried same thing on different server, it works fine.Both are are 2008 R2.Is there any server level setting that i have to look at.On both servers i logged in as sal. Why is it working on server1 ,but not on server2?
I'm trying to connect to a database using a service account that we got created. The ID is an AD account and was added to the db as such. When I try to connect to the database using the account with the password I get [login failed for domainid]. The DBA mentioned that its setup to use windows auth, however, I can't connect with this service account using windows Auth, due to I'm using to connect via code.
How can I connect to the database from my code using this ID?
I have the ID and pwd in my code to connect with, does the ID have to be setup differently in the Database?
Had some big problems with my SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 during the last maintenance running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ( upgraded from Standard). I'm getting the following error,
"SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_sqlagent_has_server_access' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Agent XPs' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Agent XPs', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online."
I did a google search and found others with the problem but the resolution isn't working for me. I ran the following commands, heck I ran them multiple times. No errors come back running these commands. But the same error keeps happening, I even restart the service and then the server again.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1; GO RECONFIGURE GO
The msdb got too big for the disk it was on. I had maintenance plans to clear out the all of histories but I didn't think of the mail items. When I finally saw this problem I tried clearing them out using the stored procedures only with it finally failing because the transaction log got full. Since we didn't have a lot of jobs scheduled I decided to just recreate the msdb. So I scheduled a maintenance window, download SQL Server Service Pack 3.
my steps are as follows: ->diff backup of msdb ->stopped the service and started it again with: NET START MSSQLSERVER /T3608 ->detached msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb" ->moved it off the drive ->restarted the service without any startup flags ->recreated msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -i"D:Microsoft SQL ->ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb.sql" -o"D:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb62715.out"
I looked at the log file and there were no actual error messages so I applied service pack 3 and restarted server after it installed, was actually prompted to restart. In my tests I was never prompted to restart the server.Now I never started the agent service after recreating the msdb database since I knew it wasn't on the same version. I just went directly to the latest SP. Our applications are running fine but now I cant do scheduled backups.
Am not able to export more than 10 lakh records to excel sheet(2007 xlsx). I'll get sucess message but all data will not get copy to excel sheet .I have tried through import wizard in sql server and also directly copy and paste to excel sheet.
I'm, using my script to many location to create folder to save output files and if the folder is removed/not present it can create it without any noise. But the problem is, while I use the same sort of script to check if a folder is present in the sharedpath it will not create it to copy all bkp files from local to remote path works good, but if you delete the folder or rename the exisitng folder and if the below script tries to create the folder it created as "fILE", very interesting. Per IT team they have given SQL Server account the full rights to create/delete/alter folder/files.
Do I need to use seperate script or way to create / alter folders in the sharepath?
I am unable to update the data using record by record below scenario.
Required output:
patient will able to Admit/Re-admit multiple times in hospital, if a patient readmitted multiple times in hospital after the first visit, first visit record will get Re-admission=0 and Index=1. This visit should cal Index_Admission of that patient. using this index_admission should calculate the 30-day readmission.
Current Output:
Calculation: From index_admission discharge date to next admit_visit date,
1) if the diff is having less than 30 days, readmission=1 and Index=0
else readmission=0 and Index=1 should be update.
For checking this every time should check using the latest index_admission discharge_date.
To get this result i written below logic, but it's updating readmission=0 and Index=1 after 30-day post discharge of using first index admission.
UPDATE Readmission SET Index_AMI = (CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, (SELECT Sub.Max_Index_Dis FROM (SELECT Patient_ID, MAX(Discharge_Date_Time) Max_Index_Dis FROM Readmission WHERE Index_AMI = 1 AND FPR.Patient_ID = Patient_ID GROUP BY Patient_ID) Sub) , FPR.Admit_Date_Time) between 0 and 31 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END),
I'm getting the following error message 'An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement' What is the proper way to carry out an update on aggregates?
Have any seen Insert statement deadlocking itself ? Most of the articles published by Microsoft says to change the transaction isolation level from Read Committed to Read Committed Snapshot.Below is the XML file on the deadlock
I have the linked server connection created and works perfectly well. I mean I am able to see the tables while I am on my database.
how do I write a SQL statement to reference the linked server ?
I tried the following:
Select top 100 * from casmpogdbspr1.MPOG_Collations.dbo.AsaClass_Cleaned
Then I get the error message....
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "casmpogdbspr1" does not contain the table ""MPOG_Collations"."dbo"."AsaClass_Cleaned"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
What statement do I use, as part of an insert trigger, to insert xml data from the xml database to a flat file database, to check if a record with a specific ID exists to delete first then insert the changed record, instead of adding the changes or an updated from the original xml database.
What I’m trying to do is take the xml formatted data out of one sql server database and insert the data only in that xml into a another sql database. So I can play with the data.
Problem is if the data in the xml is updated or changed for a specific record on the original xml database then the trigger inserts another copy into the created database (which I don’t want).
I have data that I want at multiple granularities, 5,15,30 and 60 minutes. To reduce repetition, I have put them all in the same table, so that there is a column for 5,15,30 and 60 minutes, with a filtered index on each of the columns that removes the nulls. This means that each day will have 288 slots, but only 24 of the slots are filled in for 60 min data, and all of them are filled for 5 minute data.
I have another column that specifies the interval granularity, and my first thought was to access my data through a join, where I can use a CASE statement, and depending on the data granularity necessary, it will look at a different column:
INNER JOIN Data d ON AND d.settlement_key = CASE st.interval_granularity WHEN 5 THEN [5_min_settlement_key] WHEN 15 THEN [15_min_settlement_key] WHEN 60 THEN [60_min_settlement_key] ELSE NULL END
Despite the presence of the indexes on the columns, then the process seems to be quite slow, I think probably due to the fact that any query plan isn't going to know beforehand which of the columns it is going to use for any given dataset, until it actually starts to run, so it may not be optimised.
How I could optimise this based on the given structure? Maybe there are hints to be added to the join, or maybe I can clear the query plan each time the SQL is run? My other option for dealing with the data of different granularity was to use one column and repeat the data multiple times, each at the different granularity, but this makes my data, row and table sizes much higher, as we are adding just a column for each additional granularity. Would this work any better in future versions of SQL server, maybe with column store indexes?
Wanted to check if there's any option to suppress message after the database backup statement is run like we have in dbcc checkdb by using NO_INFOMSGS?

I had a procdure in SQL 7.0 in which I am using both single quote and double quotes for string values. This proceudreused to work fine in SQL 7.0 but when I upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000, this proceudre stopped working. When I changed the double quotes to single quotes, it worked fine.
declare tableName table ( uniqueid int identity(1,1), id int, starttime datetime2(0), endtime datetime2(0), parameter int )
A stored procedure has new set of values for a given id. Sometimes the startime and endtime are the same, in which case I update the value of parameter. Sometimes I add a new time range (insert statement), and sometimes I delete a time range (delete statement).
I had a question on merge, with insert, delete and update and I got that resolved. However I have a different question regarding performance of the merge statement.
If my target table has hundreds of millions of records and I want to delete/update/insert a handful of records, will SQL server scan the entire target table? I can't have:
merge ( select * from tableName where id = 10 ) as target using ...
and I can't have:
merge tableName as target using [my query] as source on source.id = target.id and source.starttime = target.startime and source.endtime = target.endtime where target.id = 10 ...
This means I cannot filter the set of rows in the target table to a handful of records where id = 10.
I have created a trigger on a table that get's too many updates so to analyze what records and what columns get updates I have coded a trigger that inserts into a table the record key and a flag on each column to let me know what is updates. Now that I am presenting the data to the developers I have been asked to provide the update / insert or delete statement
So on my trigger I have tried using dynamic management views but its returning the actual trigger code not the parent SQL Script that triggered it.
This is what I am using.
select@dDate as dDate, dest.[dbid], dest.[objectid], dest.[number], dest.[encrypted], case when sder.[statement_start_offset] > 0 --the start of the active command is not at the beginning of the full command text thencasesder.[statement_end_offset]
With merge/insert statements ...Is DISTINCT best way to handle problem of source table containing duplicate rows, along with WHERE NOT IN statement? the source dataset is large and having to do DISTINCT and further filtering is taxing on the ETL.
I have several reports that are looking for a code within a certain set of codes or ranges. The specific list of codes to be including is determined by the end user. Currently my "IN" statement can be a hundred lines, listing several ranges, lists of specific codes, etc. I am constantly getting asked what codes does it include, is this code included, etc. Sometimes they'll give me a printed 10 page list of codes and want me to compare to what I have included in the report. Not ideal in the slightest.
What I'd like to do is have a table or a file of some kind somewhere where the end user can view the codes contained, add new ones, and delete ones they no longer want. Then I'd like to be able to just reference that file in my IN statement. Leaving the responsibility of listing the correct codes on them.
