We're trying to perform an upgrade test against a copy (backup/restore) of our customer database as target. There are some tables with timestamp column in the database. The way we do this is by having a database project with a publish profile targeting that copy of customer database and then with TFS build server is used to build the database but only to generate a publish script (/p:UpdateDatabase=False) set in the build definition - msbuild argument.
Example of table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(6)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
We would like to have the "Code" column to have CHAR(7), so in the project we modify the table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(7)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
Expecting SSDT build will generate alter script:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
To our surprise the generated script was:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN [Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL;
Which will cause error when the script is executed: "Cannot alter column 'TIMESTAMP' to be data type timestamp."
Why is SSDT generating the change script for that timestamp column??
We then try a local build in VS, the issue is not happening, SSDT correctly generates alter script only for the "Code" column to CHAR(7);
Both local machine and TFS Build server are having VS 2013 Update 4- SSDT 12.0.50318.0 installed.
As we tried to troubleshoot further, we found out that it seems it only happens on a restored database from a backup copy of our customer database. It doesn't happen for databases created by SSDT build from scratch or that we manually created. We've tried make sure all database properties are the same as the database that correctly built.
But still if the target database is the one we restored from a customer's copy, SSDT always tries to alter timestamp column (on server build).
Is it possible to force a build to fail when a stored procedure in a project calls another stored procedure with one or more required parameters missing. E.g.:
Hi guys, If I have a temporary table called #CTE With the columns [Account] [Name] [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] and I need to change the column type for the columns: [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time. What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance, Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE ALTER COLUMN [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE MODIFY [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;

For starters, please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong forum.
The issue I have is this. I have been asked to delete all information from a table that was inserted before May 12 this year. The issue is that when the DB was created, whoever designedd it neglected to add a timestamp column for the user data table (the one I need to purge). Does SQL, by default, happen to store insert times? Would it be something that might hide ina log file somewhere?
Hi I’m trying to alter a table and delete a column I get the following error. The object 'DF__Morningst__LastU__19EB91BA' is dependent on column 'LastUpdated'. ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastUpdated failed because one or more objects access this column. I tried deleting the concerned constraint. But the next time I get the same error with a different constraint name. I want to find out if I can dynamically check the constraint name and delete it and then drop the column. Can anyone help.IF EXISTS(SELECT 1FROM sysobjects,syscolumnsWHERE sysobjects.id = syscolumns.idAND sysobjects.name = TablenameAND syscolumns.name = column name)BEGIN EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablename DROP CONSTRAINT DF__SecurityM__DsegL__08C105B8')EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablenameDrop column columnname)ENDGO
I ran this query against the pubs database and it runs successfully
ALTER TABLE publishers ALTER COLUMN state CHAR(25)
I change the table & field names for my db as follows: ALTER TABLE customquery ALTER COLUMN toclause CHAR(25)
and run against my database and I get the following error - Incorrect syntax near 'COLUMN'.
My column name is correct - I don't know why it would run fine against pubs, but not my db. I do not have quoted identifiers turned on. I have tried using [] around my column name [toclause], but that didn't change anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a table with a [Timestamp] field which is a datetime data type. What I need to do is add one hour to the timestamp. Each entry in the [Timestamp] field looks like this: 2008-03-09 16:44:06.313
What is the best way to do this?

I have a table with a column defined thus: LOCNumber Varchar(100) in atable called Bookdata.If I execute ALTER TABLE BookData ALTER COLUMN LOCNumber varchar(100)on the table, does any work get done on the table and column?Or does SqlServer know that the column is already varchar(100) andnothingneeds to be done?If it does do some work, how do you tell it not to run this as it isalready a varchar(100) column. Right now my program just blindly doesthis ALTER TABLEstatement regardless of any conditions. Is this a potential problem?Thanks for any help.
ASP.NET application, MS SQL DB, and a table with a timestamp(8) column.
Error: Cannot insert a non-null value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list or with a default of NULL for the timestamp column.
I'm using an SQLDataAdapter and typed DataSet, inserting a row into the dataset, and calling Update() to send changes to the DB.
The thing that baffles me about receiving this error, is that the DB column can be null and I get this error wheter I attempt to insert NULL or a valid byte array into the column.
(No - I am not trying to insert a datetime into the column.)
The error just doesn't seem too descriptive of the problem I'm having, and I'm quite confused.
I have a question regarding the rowversion / timestamp column. I want to use it to track changes in some tables and I created a non clustered index on the timestamp column (with three includes) to get a better performance while searching / gathering the data. It works very well, but I experienced a big performance hit on the inserts and my first thoughts are that it has something to do with this index.
I know that this NCI has to be updated with every insert and so this could have an impact on performance, but we have a lot of other indexes as well, which are also get updated with every insert. Why this index / column has such a big impact? Our application use a lot of dynamic cursors, maybe it has something to do with that?
I am building three partitioned, clustered column store tables.I was researching whether it was faster to populate a staging table and swap it into the partitioned table or to directly insert into the partitioned table.The first partition for the three tables will have:
Table F: 50M rows, 6 columns wide, partitioned on a date column (1 date, 2 bigint keys, and two varchar columns) Table D1: 50M rows, 150 columns wide, partitioned on a bigint Table D2: 19M rows, 300 columns wide, partitioned on a bigint
If build the data that would go into partition 1 in a non partitioned column store, I get these table sizes:
That's a 20% difference on Table F, the narrow table.Looking at the row groups, I see 47 identical row groups in partition 1 and the unpartitioned table, but the average "size_in_bytes" is consistently 20% smaller in the unpartitioned table.
I can not insert CURRENT_TIMESTAMP into column type timestamp I defined a data Table that has column type timestamp. I did not achieve insert CURRENT_TIMESTAMP data into column typed timestamp. My statement is below.What is wrong with it?

I have been provided with a table where one of the columns is of TimeStamp data type. My question is how to insert and update data in this column through my SQL Statement? When I run my SQL statement, it gives me an error with this column name in the error.
Im trying to insert the values from this query into a table, so I can later check the history of memory usage:
SELECT [total_physical_memory_kb] / 1024 AS [Total_Physical_Memory_In_MB] ,[available_page_file_kb] / 1024 AS [Available_Physical_Memory_In_MB] ,[total_page_file_kb] / 1024 AS [Total_Page_File_In_MB] ,[available_page_file_kb] / 1024 AS [Available_Page_File_MB] ,[kernel_paged_pool_kb] / 1024 AS [Kernel_Paged_Pool_MB] ,[kernel_nonpaged_pool_kb] / 1024 AS [Kernel_Nonpaged_Pool_MB] ,[system_memory_state_desc] AS [System_Memory_State_Desc] FROM [master].[sys].[dm_os_sys_memory]
What I'm missing is a way to insert the current timestamp every time I insert to the table.My plan is to use the insert into command.
I have transactional replication, The publisher DB contains table call Courser with timestamp column, this column values are unique for the publisher DB
The subscriber DB also contains same copy of data in publisher DB Course table, but the timestamp column values are different.
So my problem is how can I keep this two tables (Course) identically, (same timestamp column vales in both table)
NOTE: Publisher and Subscriber DB reside under two different SQL server instance
I am using SSMA 6.0 for DB2. When trying to migrate data with a table have timestamp column, it fails with an error "Hour, Minute, and Second parameters describe an unrepresentable DateTime." however i don't see any issues with the source data.
What I'm after is to create a new [dtP] column where the [dtP] is the [P] value at least 5 seconds later. I would assume I should use the dateadd() function but I've tried [Timestamp] = dateadd(ss,5,[Timestamp]) in my WHERE clause and to no avail. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed?

After several hours of trying, I trow the towel in the ring and come here to ask a question.
Source system uses a timestamp column in the transaction tables. which is equal to a non-nullable binary(8) datatype (sql 2000 bol).
What I want to do is get the timestamp at the start of the transfer and at the end of the transfer of data. and store these in a controltable
I try to do this in 2 sql execute tasks:
sqltask 1: "select @@DBTS AS SourceTimestamp" and map the resultset to a variable. Here come's the first problem what variable type to take ?
DBNULL works (meaning it doesn't give errors) (BTW: is there a way to put a variable as a watch when debugging sql tasks ?)
INT64 and UINT64 don't work error message that types for column and parameter are different
STRING works
Then I want to store this variable back in a table of a different data source
sqltask2: "insert into controltable values(getdate(), ?)" and make an input parameter that takes the previous timestamp ...
if I took DBNULL as a type for the variable there doesn't seem to be a single parameter type that works ???
if i take STRING as a type for the variable I have to modify the sql to do the explicit conversion from string to binary so I change CAST(? as binary). It doesn't return any error but the value stored in the table is 0x00000000000 and not the actual timestamp.
Any help on this one ? Why are the INT64/Bigint not working here, you can perfectly do a convert(bigint, timestampfield) in sql ?
How came the SQL datatypes, and the variable datatypes, parameter datatypes are so badly alligned to each other (and all seem to use different names) ?
we have automated build on every night. In our solution is SSIS project, where each package is encrypted per password. We call build process per command line like this..
C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (c:DevelopmentX3\X3.sln /build Release)' in 'c:DevelopmentProjectsDailyBuild
Through build process we get a error:
External Program Failed: C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (return code was 1):
We think a reason is, that on build of SSIS project must be entered a password. You can wonder for what we need that SSIS packages are part of our build. We hope that on build process is also created Deployment Utility, if so set in dtproject.user. Is it so? Is there any way to create Deployment utility on automated build process? Can be a password provided pre command line?

I cannot manage to fetch the new timestamp value inside a TSQL Transaction. I have tried to Select "@LastChanged" before committing the transaction and after committing the transaction. A TimestampCheck variable is used to get the timestamp value of the Custom Business Object. It is checked against the row updating to see if they match. If they do, the Update begins as a Transaction. I send @LastChanged (timestamp) and an InputOutput param, But I also have the same problem sending in a dedicated timestamp param ("@NewLastChanged"): 1 select @TimestampCheck = LastChanged from ADD_Address where AddressId=@AddressId 2 3 if @TimestampCheck is null 4 begin 5 RAISERROR ('AddressId does not exist in ADD_Address: E002', 16, 1) -- AddressId does not exist. 6 return -1 7 end 8 else if @TimestampCheck <> @LastChanged 9 begin 10 RAISERROR ('Timestamps do not match up, the record has been changed: E003', 16, 1) 11 return -1 12 end 13 14 15 Begin Tran Address 16 17 Update ADD_Address 18 set StreetNumber= @StreetNumber, AddressLine1=@AddressLine1, StreetTypeId=@StreetTypeId, AddressLine2=@AddressLine2, AddressLine3=@AddressLine3, CityId=@CityId, StateProvidenceId=@StateProvidenceId, ZipCode=@ZipCode, CreateId=@CreateId, CreateDate=@CreateDate 19 where AddressId= @AddressId 20 21 select @error_code = @@ERROR, @AddressId= scope_identity() 22 23 if @error_code = 0 24 begin 25 commit tran Address 26 27 select @LastChanged = LastChanged 28 from ADD_Address 29 where AddressId = @AddressId 30 31 if @LastChanged is null 32 begin 33 RAISERROR ('LastChanged has returned null in ADD_Address: E004', 16, 1) 34 return -1 35 end 36 if @LastChanged = @TimestampCheck 37 begin 38 RAISERROR ('LastChanged original value has not changed in ADD_Address: E005', 16, 1) 39 return -1 40 end 41 return 0I do not have this problem if I do not use a TSQL Transaction.
