SQL Server Help Needed
May 2, 2008
BACKGROUND
I just recently set up my SQL 2005 server. Now I wanted to test to make sure Visual Studio can connect to the DB and query the tables.
So for testing purposes I installed the test database that comes with SQL Server called 'Adventure Works'. It installed just find.
I went back to my laptop, fired up VS, when to 'Server Explore' and created the connection, which works perfectly. I'm able to expand the db.AdventureWorks.dbo and see the 'Tables' folder. I can view the table data and everything.
Wonderful!!! However...
PROBLEM
I went back to my default.aspx page, dragged a SqlDataSource on the page, configured it to use the AdventureWorks data and store the connection string. Now when I do a simple query like 'SELECT * FROM Employee' it get the following message:
There was an error executing the query. Please check the syntax of the command and if present, the types and values of the parameters and ensure they are correct.
Invalid object name 'Employee'.
Now I KNOW 'Employee' isn't an invalid object because I can see it and open it in 'Server Explorer'. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
Thanks!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?

Hi,
Whenever i try to connect to my localhost i get an error message telling me that it doesn't exist or access is denied ... This is strange because i had no problems with it up until yesterday ... I can't connect to my Localhost through SQL Server Service Manager ... When i go into Enteprise Manager i can't open localhost or view anything in it ... It just keeps telling me that it doesn't exist or access is denied ...
Thanks,
Jack.

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me here as i'm struggling to find any information elsewhere on the net. We have recently purchased a new server, the rough specs are:
2 X Quad-Core Xeon E7320 2.13GHz 4Mb Cache
32Gb PC2-5300 DDR II RAM
We are planning to install the 64 Bit version of SQL Server 2005. We want to use the server for a number of purposes.
Building and weekly processing of 2 complex data marts (approx size is 1Tb each)
Processing and querying of 2 Analysis Services databases that will be built from these data marts. These will be queried by no more than about 15 users (no more than about 5 simultaneously).
Relational querying of the data marts themselves (same users as above)
My problem is that I am not sure of the best way to configure SQL Server. Should I use 2 separate instances? How should the processors/memory be shared between SQL Server/Analysis Services? My main priority is the performance of the OLAP querying. However, I also want the weekly processing and any ad-hoc SQL querys run against the marts to be efficient.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David.

I'm wanting to start to understand SQL Server. I've got the Beta Version of MS SQL Server 2000 and was wondering whether I could install this on my Windows Me box and start developing? Is this wise, or should i not use the Beta version? Is there a time when the Beta version "runs out"?
Are there any good basic SQL web sites out there? I know all about Access developement and i know some SQL, but i know nothing about SQL server. Which is the best site for me?
Thanks.

Hey, SQL Server gurus and experts, please offer your precious advices -
(1) Is it worth going for MCDBA now, when Microsoft has stopped supporting SQL Server 2000 and many companies are upgrading to version 2005 ?
(2) Is MCTS* - SQL Server 2005 useful for SQL Server programmers as well ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Gurus
Currently we are using SQL Server Reporting Services on top of our client data warehouse. Almost all the reports deployed on the report production server are executing Stored Procedures (behind the scene).
Can anyone tell me how can I query Report Server database to get a list of reports and the stored procedures being executed by these reports?
Early Thanks,

Hi,
I have two webservers and another server where the database resides.. and in my webservers i have reporting serverices set up.. in my Report server configuration manager for Webserver 1, in the database setup tab i am specifying the remote the database server which i want to connect and i am providing the correct username and passwords to connect to the remote databse and when i specify the remote database username and password i can see all the databases listed in that server. So in server name i have specified the name of the sql server.. and in the Database name i have specified ReportServer and given credentails type as sql server credentials and given the correct username and password..
But when i give apply i am getting an warning or error saying that The database version (c.0.8.54) does not match the Report service installation. This version cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database.
and in internet explorer if i give http:\localhost
eports I get an error saying
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue update the version of the report server database and verify access rights.
any help will be appreciated.

Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.

Hi,
I want to develop a monthly salary report for our employees. The salary is calculated on daily basis for individiaul employees. Thus the report is supposed to display Employee Name, ID etc + 31 columns (representing maximum days in a month). The report will display the employee basic information along with their salary calculation for each day. So its like 35 columns report. I already have used a cursor in my stored procedure with SQL Server 2005 to get this report (displayed in .NET Page) but the performance is more than worst and takes even 3-4 minutes to compile (which ofcourse is unacceptable). There are around 300 employees and they belong to different departments. When we select a given department, all the respective employees report has to be displayed. If i select All Departments, then the entire 300 employees report has to be displayed. I dont want to cache the data as it will have a big performance issue for the server.
I want some good suggestion on how to develop a monthly report in SQL Server 2005 which can display the data with optimized performance. Kindly help of any guru will be highly appreciated.
Regards...

Hello! I'm trying to get caching work with ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005, but I have a problem and I can't figure out what I'm doing
wrong.I have tried to do everything according to the instructions. I
have enabled the database for cache notification by running the
aspnet_regsql tool on the command line like this:aspnet_regsql -S server
-E -d database -etThen I have run the aspnet_regsql tool to enable each
table in the database for cache notification:aspnet_regsql -S server -E
-d database -et -t tablenameI have added the necessary parts into
web.config file, so that it is like
this:<connectionStrings><add name="ConnectionString1"
connectionString="DataSource=servername;Database=databasename;Integrated
Security=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <system.web>
<caching> <sqlCacheDependency enabled="true"
pollTime="2000"> <databases> <add
connectionStringName="ConnectionString1"
name="KJ"/> </databases>
</sqlCacheDependency> </caching>I have added this
into global.asax file for the application start event:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDependency.Start(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ToString())To
test caching I wrote this piece of code where I get data from the table
MAAKUNNAT in
the database.----------SqlCacheDependencyAdmin.EnableTableForNotifications(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ToString(),"MAAKUNNAT")Dim
maakunnatDS As New DataSetIf Cache.Get("maakunnat") Is Nothing
Then Dim myConnection As
NewSqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ToString())
myConnection.Open() Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("haemaakunnat",
myConnection) cmd.CommandType =
CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim riippuvuus As New
SqlCacheDependency("KJ", "MAAKUNNAT") Dim aggDep As New
AggregateCacheDependency
aggDep.Add(riippuvuus) Dim maakunnatDA As SqlDataAdapter =
New SqlDataAdapter maakunnatDA.SelectCommand =
cmd maakunnatDA.Fill(maakunnatDS, "MAAKUNTA")
myConnection.Close() Cache.Insert("maakunnat", maakunnatDS,
aggDep) Else Response.Write("The data is in the
cache") maakunnatDS = Cache.Get("maakunnat")End
If-----------------But when I run the page I get this
error.------------------------------------------The 'MAAKUNNAT'
table in the database 'KJ' is not enabled for SQL
cachenotification.Please make sure the table exists, and the table
name used for cachedependency matches exactly the table name used in cache
notificationregistration.To enable a table for SQL cache
notification, please useSqlCacheDependencyAdmin.EnableTableForNotifications
method, or the commandline tool aspnet_regsql. To use the tool, please run
'aspnet_regsql.exe -?'for more information.To get a list of enabled
tables in the database, please
useSqlCacheDependencyManager.GetTablesEnabledForNotifications method, or
thecommand line tool
aspnet_regsql.exe.----------------------------------------------When I
run the aspnet_regsql tool with the -lt parameter to get a list of enabled
tables in the database they are all enabled. I have searched many pages in
the internet and I cannot find out what I'm still doing wrong. I'd
appreciate it very much if someone could help me with this
problem.Toni S.

Hi every one
I am new meber of this community with an urgent new problem with SQL server DTS process:) pls HELP!
PROCESS DETAILS:
My data base(db) is on main frame(flat file with hierarchical db format) I used vb script to get that db and split it in to three files so processing is easy after this I use dts PROCESS WITH EXECUTE SQL TASK in combination of some bulk insert scripts to pick these files from server directory and import it in to sql server tables. I know I could have use bulk insert task in dts but my formate file was giving me a problem while I try to develop it through that process so I ended up using tsql bulk insert statment with formate file in the EXECUTE SQL TASK .
PROBLEM :
My problem is I have to manually activate VB script where as I want this to be part of my DTS packet so it can be automated.
I know there is Active x scripting task in DTS but have not used it can some one please tell me if this script can be put in to Active X scripting task with or with out any modifications and also what are the modifications I need to do so it can run before other DTS task (which picks the file and insert it in three different tables after format file application.
this is the VB SCRIPT:Const
ForReading = 1,ForWriting = 2
Dim fso, SourceFile, TargetFile, retstring,Level1No, Level2No, Level3No, Level1Str, Level2Str, Level3Str
Level1No = 0
Level2No = 0
Level3No = 0
Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Set SourceFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceWGEE.NONX.GMM220D.UNLOAD.G00178888V00", ForReading)
Set SourceFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceDataNotepad.txt", ForReading)
set l1 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceLevel1.txt", ForWriting,True)
set l2 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceLevel2.txt", ForWriting,True)
set l3 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceLevel3.txt", ForWriting,True)
Do While SourceFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
retstring = SourceFile.ReadLine
if Instr(1,retstring,"PACM",0) > 0 then
Level1No = Level1No + 1
Level1Str = Rpad(Level1No," ",10)
l1.WriteLine(Level1Str & retstring)
End if
if Instr(1,retstring,"PACPRS",0) > 0 then
Level2No = Level2No + 1
Level2Str = Rpad(Level2No," ",10)
l2.WriteLine(Level1Str & Level2Str & retstring)
End if
if Instr(1,retstring,"PACACC",0) > 0 then
Level3No = Level3No + 1
Level3Str = Rpad(Level3No," ",10)
l3.WriteLine(Level1Str & Level2Str & Level3Str & retstring)
End if
Loop
Function Rpad (MyValue, MyPadChar, MyPaddedLength)
Rpad = MyValue & string(MyPaddedLength - Len(MyValue), MyPadChar)
End Function

Hi,
Is it true that I need Analysis Server to simply log the queries being sent to my databases?
I am not familiar with SQL server. In MySQL it is a simple checkbox setting; when I check it, all queries reaching the database(s) are written to a file. But accomplishing this in SQL Server is not so easy, so it seems. I read that I need Analysis Server to do this. I only bought the database, so I will have to purchase it. But I am not sure that this is, in fact, what I am looking for. I need a file that contains something like this:
01/08/2008 14:19:21 UserNameDbName: SELECT name, telno FROM Customer WHERE country = 'Netherlands' AND name LIKE '%bicycle%'
I need the queries exactly as they are sent to the database, from any (type of) client. Can Analysis Server provide this?
Thx,
/sohan

When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?

Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I am a new comer to the internet e-commerce and ebusiness service. I have limited budget for my startup. I would like to know whether the SQL Server 2005 standard x32 edition (5 client), as this verion is still relative affordable, could be good enough to support an ebusiness intertnet site. When an internet broswer access to my site, would that access be counted as one client?
Also, I would like to know whether anyone there have experience of using SQL express edition to support an internet site, that potentially need roburst data transaction.
Thanks a lot.

I am getting different results with LEFT outer join operator and *= operator. With *= I am getting the expected results. Can anyone look at SQL and tell what I am doing wrong?
SQL with Left Outer join operator:
select CurrentWeekFinMetrics.[Hub+],
WeeklyMetricsFormat.line#,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.MetricsType,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.Metrics,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.Measure, WeeklyMetricsFormat.jobs, case when dataformatchar is not null then
case when IsPrefix = 'Y' then dataformatchar + convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol )
else convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol ) + dataformatchar end
else
convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol )
end
from WeeklyMetricsFormat LEFT JOIN CurrentWeekFinMetrics on (WeeklyMetricsFormat.Line# = CurrentWeekFinMetrics.Line#)
where CurrentWeekFinMetrics.WeekEndingDate = '10/09/04' and CurrentWeekFinMetrics.[Hub+] = 'Amstelveen'
order by CurrentWeekFinMetrics.[Hub+], WeeklyMetricsFormat.Line#
SQL with *= operator
select CurrentWeekFinMetrics.[Hub+],
WeeklyMetricsFormat.line#,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.MetricsType,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.Metrics,
WeeklyMetricsFormat.Measure, WeeklyMetricsFormat.jobs, case when dataformatchar is not null then
case when IsPrefix = 'Y' then dataformatchar + convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol )
else convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol ) + dataformatchar end
else
convert (varchar, CurrentWeekFinMetrics.displayCol )
end
from WeeklyMetricsFormat , CurrentWeekFinMetrics
where CurrentWeekFinMetrics.WeekEndingDate = '10/09/04' and CurrentWeekFinMetrics.[Hub+] = 'Amstelveen'
AND (WeeklyMetricsFormat.Line# *= CurrentWeekFinMetrics.Line#)
For Left outer join operator, I am getting 54 rows, *= I am getting 69 rows.

Using SQL Server 2000 std. edition, I was bitten by the bug described in KBs 818671 and 289149. Query optimizer using Hash Match Team operators would sometimes fail. I added -T8679 at SQL Server startup.
Now that I'm upgrading to SQL Server 2005, is this trace flag still required?
I see that "this was fixed in SQL 2000, SP1." However, I would like a more precise confirmation that this flag is no longer needed in SQL 2005. Sometimes, no news is not necessarily good news.
The error is intermittent, and at least partially dependent on data conditions not available to me for exhaustive regression testing (or else of course I would do that).
Any info, comments, etc. ... would be welcome.
Thanks ...

We have an NT 4.0 sp4 server with Sql 6.5, sp4 and its server name needs to be changed. This server will also be upgraded to Sql 7.0 sp1 too.
Is changing the server name easier/more efficient etc in 65 or 70?
Does anyone have any recommendations and or tips to follow in avoiding pitfalls, headaches etc?
Additional info: Replication is not involved here. If we upgrade to 70 first, it will be a "One-computer upgrade" process followed. BOL for 70 doesn't mention anything about a Server Name change. BOL for 65 does have "How to change to the current server name in the 6.x master database..." I was hoping to find specific details on the 'how to...' but was surprised that 70 doesn't cover this.
I have also seen a Jan 15 '99 posting by Sharon Dooley under "Machine Rename" which raises concerns that MS missed the boat on Server Name changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

I have created a linked report in which I have two screen:
First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar).
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

Hi,
I'm have two issues I need to work out.
1) - I need to get the RDL (the RDL format merged with the data, like a rendered report in RDL format) - to pass back to the client Report Viewer. Is there a way to do that? I do not see that as an optional output types.
2) - I need to export to a specific file/path from the client side Reportviewer.. Is this possible? Is there a lower level API for this?
Thank you,
