How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.
We are just looking to move to SSIS 2014 from 2008R2 however we have a number of packages which write to Sharepoint lists. The SHarepointDestination doesn't seem to work in VS 2013, any solution other than buying a third party connector.
I'm looking for a way to list the target servers associated with a master server. The reason is that we're moving to another master server, and I'd prefer not to move the targets manually.
I've got most of the T-SQL already (sp_msx_enlist, sp_add_jobserver), but I'd like a scripted solution instead of a wizard.
I'm trying to find out what tables are being used in a Database.
I don't want the last User but the User and the Dates.
I have a script that return the last user but that is not going to work.
The following script returns the last user but not all users and the Login Name:
ITH LastActivity (ObjectID, LastAction) AS ( SELECT object_id AS TableName, last_user_seek as LastAction FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats u WHERE database_id = db_id(db_name())
Suppose someone has to work on a lot of different SQL Server Databases which have got a lot of Tables and Queries / Views inside them.
After a period of time, it becomes very difficult to remember exactly what kind of columns are present within a given Table and View.
Any method by which one can keep a systematic list of all the Tables and Views that are present within a SQL Server Database, along with the columns that are present within them.
Are there any Add-on products or services etc. available in making this type of work systematic?
Currently I add comments to each queries inside SQL Server to remind me of what this query is doing, but this method is not great.

I have been trying to open a job properties and then step where its executing sql server 2005 integration services package and when I try to look at the configuration of that package in the job step properties window it asks for the password used to secure the package configuration and even on entering right password its not accpted. Is it a bug or what?
I am using SSIS 2014 and installed adapter for sharepoint list source and destination and when I refresh the toolbox I don't see them. Is there a way to manually add them?
Hi, I tried to use the RETURN_VALUE of a stored procedure in updata / delete commands with a sql-datasource and a stored procedure. The thing works fine with the insert command.But it fails with "too many arguments..." in delete / update. I also tried to handle the updating event like this: protected void sqldsReportSelect_Updating(object sender, SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs e) { SqlParameter sqP = new SqlParameter("RETURN_VALUE", SqlDbType.Int); sqP.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue; e.Command.Parameters.Add(sqP);} It brings the same error. Do I make something wrong or is this a bug? Regards Manfred
I'm a relative newbie to ASP.NET development (web development in general) so please forgive the ignorance. ;-) Ok, I'm using VWD to design and test my application and I'm using the standard membership provider system. I've read in various places not to muck around with the aspnet_* tables as it can cause havoc hehe. Therefore, I've created my own Member table to accommodate more fields that the aspnet_Users table does not have (since I don't want to mess around with that table) such as address, city, town, zip, birth date, etc. Obviously, I have a field in Member that corresponds to the userId primary key in aspnet_Users. Now, there are times when I need to display the username of a person's profile on a page. SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName<br>FROM aspnet_Users, Member<br>WHERE querystringid=Member.memberId AND Member.userId = aspnet_Users.UserId Now, this seems fine and dandy when there are few entries in the aspnet_Users table, but what if I tried that query when aspnet_Users grew to a hypothetical one million entries?? Does anyone know if those fields in aspnet_Users are properly indexed? I can't seem to determine one way or another with VWD's database explorer. I don't want to run the risk of a full table scan. But if those fields aren't indexed, I don't know if I should modify that table in any way. What to do? TIA
Hi all, I am trying to create a table of counts but it is running too long and would be a waste of paper so in essence I want the table to wrap at the 50% mark. As far as I understand theres no way to do that with just one table in RS so Im planning on using two tables and filtering them somehow.
I have been looking at the top % and bottom % filters but they dont seem to work for my purposes.
Heres what I got:
Program Count
Program 1 40
Program 2 25
Program 3 23
Program 4 18
Program 5 10
Program 6 5
Program 7 1 Heres what I want to do:
Program Count
Program 1 40
Program 2 25
Program 3 23
Program 4 18
Program Count
Program 5 10
Program 6 5
Program 7 1
gte 50% lt 50% Does anyone know an easy way to split a data set by group at the 50% mark?
I don't work much with the back end of software development so there is a lot about SQL Server I do not know. We are building a database. The database will have about 10 tables in it. 3 of these tables will probably have a huge amount of data in them. Specifically each one of the 3 tables will each have about a half a million database records in it. Each record is about 100 characters max in length.(Im am including numbers as characters and summing the individual columns/fields to come up with 100). Will a SQL server database table with A half a million records in it be possible? We have tried to normalize the database to cut down on the size of the table but it all comes out to about a half a million records per table. Any help is deeply appreciated. Bill
All rows of a 1500+ record text file we have at work should be 512 spaces. Some are not and seem to be causing problems. I get half the records I should be getting on an import. When the DTS task comes across one of these records it takes it and appends them together and makes two rows one row. Any ideas? I tried making a table with one field of datatype char(1000) and tried to import into this table. I figured this would add any missing trailing spaces but no go.
ID Date Time Length Interval_Num 1 10/11/2014 9:00 420 14
Basically, length represents the # of minutes a person is scheduled for. We have 30 minute intervals. Interval_Num = (Length/30). I need the data to show each interval. For the above example it should only be 14 intervals.For the above example the solution should look like....
ID Date Time Length 1 10/11/2014 9:00 30 1 10/11/2014 9:30 30 1 10/11/2014 10:00 30 1 10/11/2014 10:30 30
I'm developing one leave application form in that I've declared "No of days"column as nvarchar type..If the user taking half(1/2) day leave then have to covert that 1/2 into 4 hours itseems..since I'm trying to display the table data on datagridview while displaying that half day in gridview again it has to conver 4 hours into 1.2 format..
My Table design: Create table Leave_Form ( Employee_id int primary key, Emp_Date date, Emp_name nvarchar(50),
I would like to make a function to convert a datetime to half-hour. E.g. If the timestamp is 1:23:05 then converts to 1:30:00, if 1:35:27 then converts to 2:00:00.
do all sql data types consume whole numbers of bytes? We have an app that might be best suited to bit manipulation at the nibble rather than byte level.
So I just got an email from Production Support saying an hour and a half downtime is unacceptable to move a half billion rows between 2 partitions because I am moving a clustered index and space is a consideration.
I can not use partition switching because the clustered index is changing.
This is what I am doing...
1. I am creating a new table with the new cluster on a new partiton 2. I am moving the records in 5K set based batches by doing a range search on the existing clustered index on the existing table. 3. I then reapply all of the nonclustered index from the original table to the new one. 4. I do a sp_rename swap out.
The same way I have done this many times before. Is there some new secret special sauce (other than partition switching) I can use?
I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database. I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields. It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table. In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters. The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%') If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null> My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>. For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
I have a table that I need to do some computations on all the data but first I need to remove the duplicate records and insert the results into a destination table. Here's the example below. My table has 3.1 million rows. I have tried using the DISTINCT and the GROUP BY but both ways to select the data takes about half a minute to run. I'm wondering if there is a way to increase performance. Users are ok with this time since the process runs overnight but improving it won't hurt. I do have a clustered index on these fields but that doesn't seem to improve any.
I use ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL 2005, the SQLCacheDependency didn't work stable for me, it usually works and after a while, it stops working. Recently, It doesn't work. Today I reset service broker by
Alter DB set new_broker
It seems all work, but too early to be happy, it doesn't work now anymore. I don't see any record in
sys.transmission_queue
And I don't see new entries in
sys.dm_qn_subscriptions neither when I modify a record which bind to SQLCacheDependy.
I see some errors in log like
Message The query notification dialog on conversation handle '{8F8CC642-6340-DB11-8F09-0014227B7B80}.' closed due to the following error: '<?xml version="1.0"?><Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8490</Code><Description>Cannot find the remote service 'SqlQueryNotificationService-f79776f7-9ca5-4c5f-8a66-0d81f7673683' because it does not exist.</Description></Error>'.
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
