SQL Server Books Online January 2004 Update
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I have been trying to download the latest update to SQL Server BOL for
quite some time without any success. I have tried downloading around
3-4 times. Every time (size of msi file would be around 25 KB) I try to
extract the msi file, I get an error message to the effect that 'it is
not a valid windows installer package'. Has anyone come across this
problem?
Have been trying to download from this URL -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A6F79CB1-A420-4
45F-8A4B-BD77A7DA194B&displaylang=en
Thanks,
Harish

are a mess, reminiscent of the structurless "goto" programming of days past. One of you brainiacs need to erect a "real" getting started section, with procedural steps on how a first time user can successfully download, install, and use SQL Server Express. Not all of us are working in corporations where the guy in the next cubicle can answer questions for newbies.
I will try once again, nicely, to ask a question about installing SQL Server Express Edition SP2 onto a Windows Vista machine. That drama will take place in another post.

I am trying to install sql server 2005 books online but I am failing and I am getting this message
"This installation pakage could not be opened.Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"
am I doing anything wrong or has the version of books online changed? Do I have to install anything else before installing it? or does my operating system not support it?
Thanks

Thanks!

Hi All,I searched this news group but couldn't find that problem whichis suprising... maybe I'm doing something stupid.I start one of the chm files (books on line help files).I read about a topic. There are links.I click on them. It tells me "Selection is not associated with anytopic. Please try again.". Its ahref link to jscript function:javascript:hhobj_1.Click() but I do not have it and cannot find it.So I have to go between all those chm files hoping to find the topicof my choice.Plus I want to search them all at once.There must be a (smart) and easy way to do this.Please, do you have any suggestions.ThankfullyJimmy Ol' Boy

I am trying to go thru the deployment tutorial, but I'm running into some trouble. The two sample packages I need to work with are called DataTransfer.dtsx and LoadXMLData.dtsx found in the samples.
When I examine these packages, they are writing to tables called dbo.HighIncomeCustomers and dbo.OrderDatesByCountryRegion. These tables don't exist in my copy of AdventureWorks database.
Also, when I try to open the Connection Manager for the target tables, I get a message that says, "The specified provider is not suported. Please choose different provider in connection manager."
Is it possible I'm having these issues because I'm working with a different version of the sample packages?

We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

I have a requirement to add new calendar columns from Jan to Dec in an existing SSRS report based on certain conditions.
The report uses a simple query at the moment.
SELECT [PROJECT ID]
,[PROJECT]
,[STATUS]
,[ACTUAL START]
,[ESTIMATED END]
FROM Projects
The requirement to add the new calendar columns is based on the following conditions:
1. If the Status value is “2” then for each Month in the current year, shade in green for the particular current month
For example, if for a particular Project for month/year of April 2015
Year/Month(Actual Start date) is < = April 2015
and Year/Month(Estimate End date) > = April 2015, then April should be shaded green.
2. The logic needs to be repeated from each month in the current year.
3. Some Estimate and Actual dates run from previous year, or into next year, so year also needs to be taken into consideration.
find the DDL and sample data below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Projects](
[PROJECT ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[PROJECT] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[STATUS] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[ACTUAL START] [datetime] NULL,
[ESTIMATED END] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
insert into Projects
values('1','TFD','2','2015-01-31 00:00:00.000','2015-12-31 00:00:00.000')
insert into Projects
values('2','JUH','1','2015-02-01 00:00:00.000','2015-02-27 00:00:00.000')
insert into Projects
values('3','REFFD','2','2015-01-31 00:00:00.000','2015-11-30 00:00:00.000')
[code].....
how to rewrite the existing query to add new calendar columns in the report and then in the SSRS output shade green based on the above condition.

Hi, I'm trying to publish an SQL Server Instance through an ISA Server but I'm not being able. I tried to create the rules to allow the SQL protocols and to tunnel the calls from internet into my SQL server. I set the instance to connect through a fix port so it wouldn't worry about not being the default instance and configured that port in the ISA server so the remote calls were channeled into it. I'm allowing only TCP connections.
I must be pretty wrong on something because it doesn't work.
Can someone offer me a white paper or some step by step instructions to do this?
Thanks a lot.

It's been pretty quiet here recently - hopefully people either aren't experiencing corruptions or they're finding what they need in the previous threads.
Just a quick note to say that I'll be totally offline from tomorrow until January - going diving in Indonesia (http://www.wakatobi.com).
Happy holidays and may your pagers be silent throughout
Cheers

Something happened, they are sending me to this conf on May 23-28. This is the first conference since 1999 that I would be attending. Personally I consider this to be the best conference, and I can attend it every day. But it would be interesting to see some of you. Anybody else going?

Hi,
I importing data from db2 into sql
using openquery
In some case I have problem with date
example
DB2 date = '2004-05-13 24:00:00.000000'
I tried to convert it manually
sql server
select cast('2004-05-13 24:00:00.000'as datetime)
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
do I have to substruct - 1 millisecond ?

Hi,
I have an orchestration that recieves a pricelist flat file and it must insert into 2 tables - article, articlePrice(for each LotSize) into sql server using a sql adapter. I also want it to check if a record exists for that lotSize and update it if it does. The records are indentified with a uniqueidentifier. So I have 3 if statements:
1 - if (<the article does not exist(checks SupplierArticleNumber)>)
<insert a record into article table>
<insert a record into articlePrice table>
2 - else if(<the article exists but not for that lotSize>)
<insert a new record in articlePrice table>)
3 - else
update the corresponding ArticlePrice row.
My problem is in writing the sp, first it checks if the article exists, if it does then it creates a row in the article table and then one into the articlePrice table. My question is how do I get a hold on the "articleGUID"(pk - uniqueidentifier) that was created on the first table on insertion in order to create the row in the second table(fk)?
And is this possible with one stored procedure? If not does anyone know in Biztalk what other way to do this?
I am new to both Biztalk and sql, so I don't really know what I am doing? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Hi,
I am trying to determine a couple of books that will help me understand SQL Server 2005 from a few of perspectives:
Optimizing databases, specifically from SQL 2000 - I have a recommended book Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization
Developing SQL Server 2005 based applications using VIsual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 - I have been unable to narrow down to a specific book here. I learn best by example, so I was hoping for a book that basically goes through implementing a "real world" project from scratch to finish. I am going to be using the full-blown enterprise edition of SQL 2005, not the Express Edition; but a book that uses the Express Edition trumps any other book, I would be open to it. Any suggestions on such a book?
Understanding T-SQL and Stored Procedures from a SQL Server 2005 perspective -- Any suggestions? A book that spells out the differences from SQL 2000 would be an added advantage.
Thanks.

There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
