Does anybody knows a workaround to register SQLServer with the name which contains hyphen('-') character in it? I work for multi-national company & they have naming standard for NT servers & this server has hyphen in it.
Also site server guru here thinks that server name change option is not feasible. Please help.
I am new to SQL.
But here is my question. I have a column 'name' and contents are like
A-B, C-D, E-F
When I query DB using, SQL
select * from tbl_Names
where name='C-D'
it does not display anything...
What am I doing wrong?
We are about to name a new SQL Server and was wondering if anybody has any documentation/knowledge that states one should avaoid using hyphens when naming Servers, objects, etc in SQL.
I have always heard its bad practise, but have not found any solid documentation. For example, I know that the 'connect to' statement does not like hyphens, but what about a SQL Server name on the network ?
Thanks
Hi,
1- I have given a dbo permission on a database named F12345-1, now I want to create a job on that server using this database.
2- I tried to create the first step in the new job but I don’t see my database name on the databases drop down menu (I only see the system databases)
3- I tried being under Master and using the USE sql command (Ex: Use F12345-1) at the beginning of my step but I get a message saying that the database F12345 doesn’t exist (The message doesn’t say the whole database name only the part before the hyphen)
4- I tried putting quotes around the database name with no luck, although that worked in SQL Query Analyzer but the Job didn’t like it.
Can you please help with this, knowing that I have no control on the database name (In order to remove the hyphen from the name which I am assuming is the cause of this problem)
Thanks
Anyone know what's the MS-SQL function that look at the zipcode like "30296-6912" and chop off the "-6912" suffix by just looking at the hyphen part?
Thanks...
Hi,
I'm using the following SQL script to return a list of part number and the order is not what I expect. Perhaps this is a collation problem but I have no idea where to look to modify that.
Thanks in advance, John
select part from transactions T where (T.transdate between '20070701' and '20070705') and
(T.transtype = 'ISSU' or T.transtype = 'RTRN') order by part
Here is the beginning of the Transactions table create script
CREATE TABLE [Transactions] (
[RecNo] [int] IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
[Part] [nvarchar] (30) NOT NULL ,
[TransDate] [nvarchar] (8) NOT NULL ,
[TransType] [nvarchar] (4) NOT NULL ,
[FromLoc] [nvarchar] (10) ,
The 'Part' column is an alphanumeric field. The problem I am having is that the
Order By seems to ignore the hyphen character '-' when the returned rows
are ordered by the Part (which can contain hyphens in any column).
Here is an example of what I get.
130909N9
130909N9
130909N9
1-480698-0 * These two should not be here
1-480699-0 *
15-423
164-07700
164-07700
164-07700
1683
I was expecting this ( and I get this in and older database ).
068-03000
068-03000
06A19956
074-03200
077-367-0

1-480699-0
100-364072

I have a colum of numbers, which datatype is nvarchar;
157853
4389
1999999999556
4568987
I need to insert a hyphen, 3 spaces from the right (to left) My numbers would look like this:
157-853
4-389
1999999999-556
4568-987
...do I use the rtrim function ?...what would the syntax look like ?
Thank you
Hey,
I have SQL Server 2000 DB that was converted via DTS from Acccess 97. Replication fails for any table with a single hypen in the table name. If I copy one of these tables to a name using an underscore rather than a hyphen, then it replicates successfully.
Below are errror messags from agent with -Outputverboselevel set to 2. I have also seen 'Agent error code 20082', in which case the replication command is incomplete.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill Coulter

Hi All,we have a problem with the Full Text Catalog Search.We use the following SQL Statement for matching companies from a table:select company, lastname, firstname, pkcustomers, fkcustomers,location, title, fkFunktionen, TypeOfPositionfrom customerswhere (fkcustomers = 0 or fkcustomers is null)and active = 1and pkCustomers in (select [KEY] from CONTAINSTABLE(Customers, Company,'"*SEARCHTERMS*"'))order by company ascThe search so far is working perfect.Now the problem: There are two companies in the table called "i-fabrik"and "b-wise". There´s no way to find these two companies. I find outthat the search is successful if there are more than three letters infront of the hyphen (for exampe iii-fabrik or bbb-wise). How can thatbe? Why exactly 3 letters?I hope somebody can help me.Best regardsMarkus Weber

We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?

Skipper.
Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?
Regarding KB935356, is there a "post" service pack 2 update for SQLServer Express?
Thanks.
Hello Expert!
I have 2 Database €“ Access & SQLServer(ver 7)

Now I want to use parameter so I only importing record within range (e.g. ShiftDate BETWEEN 05-24-2006 AND 06-23-2006)
In SQLServer, I have created table to store the date range as following:
TblParameter

How do I use the date range from TblParameter(SQLServer) to import record from TblShift(Access) using DTS?
Is this possible or any better solution for this?

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2005. I tried connecting to my local machine by using my machine name as Server name and then tried running the following query:
SELECT * FROM SYS.Objects. It gives me following error:
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Whereas, if I connect to my local machine using mahcinenameSQLEXPRESS, then the above mentioned query runs fine.
Why is this difference? What is the difference when I login in these 2 different ways.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a choice of working with either SQLServer or Oracle within my company. I need to advise them which way to go. I need to support a couple of hundred users in a mixed workload environment (OLTP, Batch & Reporting)
The O/S will be Windows 2003 Server. My understanding is that Oracle is the better database technically but SQLServer is cheaper and easier to integrate with other MS technologies. My company will most likely buy into whatever technology will deliver value for money but also be secure and be able to scale.
Any views gratefully received.
We're starting to think about migrating a 2000 32-bit sql/server to 64-bit (probably 2005). Performance gains are tempting when it can easily be bought, almost a management mantra . I've been doing some reading about the pro's and con's, most of what I've found is pro, very little on the con.
My impression is that the 64-bit version(s) is faster in most case, if not all. It would seem that most of the performance improvement is gained by the heavier equipment and overcome memory limitations. Too me, it looks like the integration of hw/os/sql is made very tight on 64-bit, more than 32-bit, which might be the main reason for the improvements.
Call me skeptical but I'm looking for some more con's and a little less on the "great, fantastic, improved and hoorah" that I've been reading. Anyone out there returned to 32-bit after a 64-bit disaster?
