SQL Server 2014 :: Best Design For Multiple Validation Checking Of Data

Sep 17, 2015

I want to do something with error checking in my company. For this we have a selection of different tables and the data needs to meet various validation rules else it is classed as an error.

To deal with this I'm currently thinking of this approach:

1. Create a view pulling all of the various data together from the multiple tables.
2. Create an empty 'errors' data table.
3. Create an Excel file with a button to call a Check for Errors Script

Then in the the script:

1. Clear the 'errors' data table
2. Call multiple scripts, each of which uses the new view, applies the checks for that specific error and writes any erroring data into the 'errors' data table (along with a text string with the unique error code for filtering / sorting purposes).
3. After calling all the scripts, the table can be refreshed in excel when when used with a pivot table can show the various errors, and let us drill down into all the data so we can fix them.

Also.. Ideally, I'd like some way to write comments in an excel column for each entry and error code and be able to write that back into a comment table.

SQL Server 2014 :: SSIS Package Cancels Itself After Successful Validation

Dec 15, 2014

I have an SSIS package authored in SSDT for VS 2013 that cancels itself immediately after validation completes and execution commences. This behavior occurs when executed either in VS 2013 or from within SQL Server. No error messages are thrown in either the debug window or the log output (log is capturing everything). The only thing that occurs differently on this package as compared to another package I am able to execute successfully is that a command line window briefly flashes when the package cancels itself—but it is gone so fast I cannot read it. The last several lines of the debug output are as follows:

-----------------
Information: 0x40043006 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Prepare for Execute phase is beginning.
Information: 0x40043007 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Pre-Execute phase is beginning.
Information: 0x402090DC at Merge Info, All Users CSV [2]: The processing of file "C:...AllUsers.csv" has started.
Information: 0x400490F4 at Merge Info, Lookup Org [47]: Lookup Org has cached 957 rows.
Information: 0x400490F5 at Merge Info, Lookup Org [47]: Lookup Org has cached a total of 26719 rows.

[Code] ....

What circumstances an SSIS package would cancel itself without throwing any errors?

Checking For Existence Of File Fails During Validation

Aug 29, 2007

OK. Here's my situation. I check for the existence of a dummy .txt file using a script. I send an e-mail if it does not exist and exit package. The .txt file only exists if another .xls file is present which I import. However, during the validation phase of the package, the package fails because the .xls file does not exist. Is there a way to bypass the validation step? The only solution I came up with is to have a two-step job. The first runs the file check step and sends the e-mail. The second attemps to run the package and fails. Not a very graceful exit.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: How Data Writes In Multiple Secondary Files If There Is No Filegroup Created

Nov 12, 2014

I read , When sql server Database having multiple data files within single filegroup then sql server writes data in multiple proportional file algorithm where the amount of data written to a file is proportionate to the amount of free space in that file, compared to other files in the filegroup.

so if there is no filegroups created and multiple secondary files are attached in databse , is there same way data stored and writes data in multiple files by the same algorithm or any different way.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Re-balancing Blob And Lob Data In Multiple Files On Primary File Group

May 7, 2014

A little background on what I am trying to achieve first. We are moving to Azure virtual machines and we will have 8 disks on the SQL Server box. I am adding more files to the primary file group and each file will go on its own drive. I am then rebalancing data across these files by rebuilding all of the indexes on the tables which is working fine. No problems so far all is good.

I now have an additional problem. If there is a lob or blob column on the table, rebuilding the clustered index and all the non clustered indexes doesn't rebalance the blob or lob data across the disks such as it does with in row data.

I cannot find any articles on rebalancing lob or blob data because all the articles say to move to a new file group. I do not want a new file group, I just want to use the primary file group where the data already resides, and just redistribute it evenly in the same way that I can in row data which is working fine.

One solution I thought about was to BCP data out of the table, truncate the table and then BCP back into the table which I imagine would have the desired effect of distributing the data evenly over the files.

Is it possible to consolidate this to a large SQL AlwaysOn cluster?

We pros/cons could it be to have 2 or 4 nodes?

2 or 4 sockets servers?

My goal was to use ~20 cores Enterprise license on active server.

SQL Server Data Validation

Mar 18, 2008

Hi.

I have one question regarding SQL Server replication.

I have setup SQLServer merge replication at my work, one of our subscriptions has unreliable connection to the publisher, after setting up the replication to this subscriber, it happened once that the connection was really bad so the merge agent for this subscription was failing before synchronizing data changes, and after that , the connection went good & the merge agent completed the synchronization successfully.

After a while I decided to validate all subscriptions, I discovered that this subscription has different row count for many articles although the merge agent was finishing all synchronizations successfully!!

so my question is:

how could this happen? I mean finishing the sync with success and still have different records!!

I thought that SQL Server will keep make the sync fail just because it can't do it!!

Is it right or there is something I misunderstood here?

How can I prevent this from happening again? at least I want SQL Server to inform me by failing the merge agent synchronizations.

Copy Data To SQL Server By Checking (available)

Oct 1, 2001

Hello,

I connect from SQL Server on Windows 2000 to Progress
Database on UNIX.
The database name of SQL Server is cstarsql and the
name is cstarint on UNIX.

I would like to schedule to copy data from
cstarint(Progress) to cstarsql(SQLServer). I did for
one time, but I want to control if the data has
already copied or not. If not, it will copy.

In DTS Query Builder to copy from Progress to SQL
Server,
SELECT * from calls WHERE call_date = TODAY
The name of table of calls is the same for both
database.The above calls is cstarint(Progress
Database)
This command is enough for one time. But I need to
control if the record has already copied.


In SQL Server, I control if the record is available or
not with @@FETCH_STATUS .
Now I would like to mix two queries, but I couldn't.
Can anybody do this?

DECLARE calls_cursor SCROLL CURSOR
FOR SELECT * FROM calls
WHERE call_date = TODAY

OPEN calls_cursor

-- Perform the first fetch.
FETCH NEXT FROM calls_cursor

-- Check @@FETCH_STATUS to see if there are any more
rows to fetch.
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- This is executed as long as the previous fetch
succeeds.
FETCH NEXT FROM calls_cursor
END

CLOSE calls_cursor
DEALLOCATE calls_cursor

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Multiple Database-collation Running On One Server?

Mar 30, 2015

We are consolidating some old SQL server-environments from 'OLD' to 'NEW' and one of our vendors is protesting on behalve of the collation we use on our 'NEW' SQL server.

Our old server (SQL 2005) contains databases with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Our new server (2014) has the standard collation Latin1_General_CI_AS

Both collations have CI and AS

From experience I know different databases can reside next to eachother on the same Instance.

The only problem could be ('could be !!') the use of TempDB with a high volume of transaction to be executured in TempDB and choosing for Snapshot Isolation Level ....

The application the databases belong to is very static, hardly updated, and questioned only several time per hour (so no TempDB issue I guess).

using different databases using a different collation running on the same instance?

SQL Server 2014 :: Linking Parameter To Multiple Values

Feb 17, 2015

Attempting to build a report were you can place a specific code in the parameter field and it will return all row values based on that particular code. I have a similar report that works great, but the specific code is just in 1 column, the one I'm trying to create has the potential to have that code in up to 20 different spots. I have the report built, but the issue I'm facing is linking the parameter. Is there a way to link 1 parameter to multiple column options?

Here's an example:

Docflo Distribution Group Queue Status Pend1 Pend 2 Pend 3 Pend 4 Pend 5
ABC ABC1 Catch All NEW 123 126 125 621 129
ABC ABC1 Various PENDED 621 123 872 542 630

Right now if I were to link the parameter to the Pend1 field, I would get every line I wanted that had Pend "123", but it would not include any of the lines where Pend "123" was in Pend 2, Pend 3, Pend 4, so on.

How would I link the parameter to more than 1 column so it would return all rows with a specific code no matter which Pend column it was in?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Multiple SSRS Instances On Same Server

Jun 23, 2015

I am playing around in a test environment with SQL Server 2014. I have a question about the default location of the report server databases when you have multiple report server instances installed on one server.

I did a very simple install of SQL Server 2014 with the database and Reporting Services in Native Mode (install only) features selected. Accepting the default locations, I ended up with the following locations as you would expect:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS12.MSSQLSERVER

Running the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I created the Report Server database. After creating the Report Server database, the related files will be located below in the SQL folder as I would expect.

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA

Next I installed another instance, which I called Test, of SQL Server 2014 like I did above. I now have the following folder structure the Test instance as I expect.

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.TEST
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS12.TEST

Running the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I select the Test instance and create the Report Server Test instance database.

My first thought would be that the Test instance Report Server database would be in the following location:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.TESTMSSQLDATA

Instead this database is located with the default instance Report Server database:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Query Multiple Servers With A Scheduled Job Using CMS?

Mar 13, 2014

I can easily query multiple servers using the multi-server query function in Central Management Server and write some of the results to logging tables. I would like to be able to do this via a scheduled job. So far I am finding that even setting up Master/Target Servers this may not work and the only workaround is either using SSIS, SQLCMD (by basically hard coding the servername) and possibly Powershell.

tell me if they have been successful just using standard jobs and querying against multiple servers?

If I can't save the results to a 'central' database/table (I can do this when in SSMS), but can still query against multiple servers I was thinking I could write the results to a CSV file that a SSIS job picks up.

I have attempted using SSIS to iterate through servers and have been plagued with intermittent connection issues when using a For...Loop container.

But I get the error:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Users'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Users'.

This would insert about 20 records.

SQL Server 2014 :: Dynamically Concatenating Multiple Columns In A Sequence?

Oct 16, 2014

I have a requirement where in I have to concatenate the fields based on their sequence given in another table along with respect to their lengths. eg..

Input 1:

Table A: (below are the fields and their respective values, not all fields will have values)
-----------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR-->1234567890
LIFNR
VKORG-->a234
PRCTR
KUNRE-->4355325363
LIFRE-->88390234
PRODH

Table BIt contains the same fields as in table A and will have sequence number in which the concatenation should happen. The length field(LEN) will have corresponding field lengths(pipe delimited) should be considered in concatenation)

KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR--> 1
LIFNR
VKORG-->3
PRCTR
KUNRE-->2
LIFRE -->4
PRODH
LEN10|10|4|10

Expected Result:
---------------------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR1234567890
LIFNR
VKORGa234
PRCTR
KUNRE4355325363
LIFRE0088390234
PRODH
Concat_String12345678904355325363a2340088390234

Note: If the field length given in Table B doesn't match with actual size of the fields then, the field should be filled with 2 left spaces while concatenation.. Eg. In above example say LIFNR value = 88390234(len =icon_cool.gif then after concat the value should be like below:

12345678904355325363a234 88390234

Note:The fields are not constant..I have around 40 fields like that in which any combination of fields can be possible...eg..

KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR -->2
KUNNR--> 4
LIFNR
VKORG-->1
PRCTR
KUNRE
LIFRE --> 3
PRODH

I am not sure which field has the value 1, 2 etc.. and how many fields are forming the combination..It can be sometimes 3/40 fields or it can be 10/40 fields...I have to dynamically get those values and concat...

I can have any number of fields for concatenation..above example is just for 4...it should be dynamic enough to handle any number of fields..

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Separate Transaction Log Files For Multiple Databases?
