Setting Default Transaction Level
Apr 23, 2006is there any way I can setup the default transactional level at the Database level instead.
Such as I don't want to write the transaction isolation level at every SQL statement.
is there any way I can setup the default transactional level at the Database level instead.
Such as I don't want to write the transaction isolation level at every SQL statement.
By setting the TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED; is this automatically sets all the joined tables to NOLOCK?
Or, in order this statement to work right, this needs to be only done inside BEGIN TRAN > COMMIT (ROLLBACK) statement?
What is the default transaction isolation level for SQL Server?
and Advantages of having multiple filegroups ?
Hi All,
We were upgraded our databases from 6.5 to 7.0 .After upgrading
the Compatibility level was 65 .We changed to 70 for all databases using sp_dbcmptlevel system stored proc.We were having some problems with Ansi nulls if the compatablity level is 70,We changed back to 65 that works fine--OK with ANSI NULLS.While Upgading ANSI NULLS OFF after upgrading ANSI NULLS OFF.But from the front end side ODBC settings ANSI NULLS are ON.Is that some thing to do with compatablity level or with ANSI NULLS .
If you guys have any great ideas Please let me know.
Thanks A Lot,

Hello everyone,
Can someone recommend me the most efficient protection level for SSIS
packages for my environment? I've been doing some reading on this lately, but can't really decide which one to use. The Rely on server storage for encryption (ServerStorage) seems interesting, but I'm unsure if that would work on my environment (Windows Authentication).
Currently I'm saving my packages to my dev server under "Encrypt sensitive data with user key" Protection level, but seems like the passwords for the FTP Connection for instance doesn't get saved when I deploy my package to the server.
Our environment consists of 2 dev servers + 2 prod servers with windows authentication, our SQL Agent Account is a domain account with local admin rights and sysadmin rights on the SQL Server and we try to use proxy accounts to access network resources instead of giving the agent access to everything.
This is what I found on MS's web site.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141747.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141053.aspx
I work on test SSRS setup and trying to give one user enough rights so she can download RDLs from server, but no matter what I do on Folder leverl, on report level her security are still only as a <Browser>. Structure of our Server is:
Home/NewReports/Misc/Report01.
I'm checking those in <Folder Settings>/<Security> where this user is OK (Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder).
So she looks OK in all folders Home/NewReports/Misc, but on report level she still only a browser.
Our db team tried everything on SSRS server working with Site settings and Folder option, how to make that report inherit security ?
I have the following to create a new table....
CREATE TABLE dbo.test (Id varchar(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Name varchar(256) NOT NULL, visible bit NOT NULL )
I need to set the default value of the bit visible to 1.
How can this be done using a T-SQL statement?
Thanks,

Dear all,
To allow users enter chinese character into table, I did try to change the field type to nchar and this is workable. But I have few hundred tables.. Is there anyway to change the setting in easier way? by instead change the field type one by one for each table?
I tried change the collation to Chinese_PRC_90_BIN for the database, but it is not support chinese input..
Any Idea?
Thanks.

I'm seeing that for DTS (2000) are Read-Commited and for SSIS is Serializable.
Could you please confirm that?
Along with this I see another little thing: by default too on a DTS packages you have "Limit the maxim number of tasks executed in parallel to: 4"
How to understand this topic thinking on SSIS?
Thanks a lot for your time,
This isn't really DB related, except for the connection, but I was wondering if any of you guys had run into this before.
I have a ODBC System DSN Setup for a connection to my MSSQL2K Server. My users will occasionally lose the Default Database setting (Drop-down during DSN Setup), forcing me to go in and reset it. It's getting to be a pain in the ass and I was wonder if any of you guys had run into this before.
Thanks!

Is there any practical downside to setting ANSI_NULLS and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER to ON at the database level? Almost all devs will simply leave these default settings at the top of a stored proc script anyway.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPardon the newbie question...but I'm trying to load a dimension table in a small data mart that has columns in it that are unique to the dimension and not sourced from any source table. Two of those columns are date columns that I want to default to the system date and the other column I want to load with a default value. I can't figure out how to do this within a data flow task. The source columns flow from the input db source into a scd transform but I can't seem to edit the columns in the target table table if they don't actually come from a data source. There doesn't seem to be a data transform object to handle this.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have few question:
1)Is it any methot to modify lock_timeout default value? (Default value is -1, if i want to modify default value for example 1, i try [SET lock_timeout 1;] but it only work during that session / connection)
2)Is it any method to modifyTransaction Isolation Level default value? (Default value is READ COMMITTED, if i want to modify default value for example READ UNCOMMITTED, I try [SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;], but it only work during that session / connection)
Thank you!~
I have created an employee directory that displays a picture from a folder based on a consistent naming scheme. I need to set a default value for the picture for when a photo by that name does not exist in the folder. I've tried using both the ISNULL and ISNOTHING commands. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've been reading some forums and I'm not able to get this to work. Basically I'm using an Oracle DB source and trying to import data into SQL server 2005. I guess the best connections to use are OLE DB.
Here are my current connections:
Source: Native OLE DBOracle Provide for OLE DB
Destination: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client
I'm running SP2 of SQL 2005.
Now, the issue is I'm not getting the code page stuff correct. In the data flow I'm just doing a OLE DB Source to SQl Server Destination. I'm not doing any transformations (I'm hoping to avoid doing that).
I'm getting an error:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
I'm looking at how to set the DefaultCodePage property in various forums, but nowhere does it say exactly how to do this. I've tried changing the "Extended Properties" and added AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage=TRUE in there, but that doesn't work. I've tried changing the Locale Identifier to 1252 that doesn't work. I've tried a combination of the two, doesn't work. Can somebody tell me two things:
1. what's the best/fastest/industry used method to get data from Oracle into SQL server via SSIS (please include the type of connections).
2. How the hell do you set the DefaultCodePage property. I would love a screenshot on this one as well.
Thanks,
Phil
Hi,
I have been trying to configure the Paper Size to be default "A4" instead of "Letter".
My Report is configured to 21cm x 29,7cm and margins 1,5cm.
The Body is configured to 18cm x 26,7cm.
Everything looks fine in the Preview but the Size is always "Letter". The printers are all configured for A4 printing.
Is there a way to set these default values in the Page Setup Toolbar or is it supposed to figure it out?
Thanks,

Hi
I have a database details veiw on my vb 2005 express form.
When I run my program , all the data in row 1 automatically shows up, as the default.
How can I set the default to show the data from row 2 when I start up my program?
Thanks
Rob
how to achieve the below mentioned in SSAS: P
1 - Set Default values 20 and 80
2 -Set Default value <> 90 or except 90.
I thought this would be easy. I have a repeater control and a sqldatasource control. I am trying to filter the select statement using DateTime.Now.ToString() and keep getting an invalid date string format. The control is on a content page in my asp.net site. On the master page this <%= DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() %> works to display the current date. If I try and put <%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %> in the Default value of the SelectParameter it does not work. No intellisense either so I am assuming I am missing something. Here is the code... pretty basic really.
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="sqlDSnews">
<ItemTemplate>
<h3><%# Eval("newTitle")%></h3>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
<asp:SqlDataSource
ID="sqlDSnews"
runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:XXXX%>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [newTitle], [newsDetails], [dateExpires], [newsImage], [dateCreated] FROM [News] WHERE (([GroupID] = @GroupID) AND ([dateExpires] >= @dateExpires))">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="0" Name="GroupID" QueryStringField="Gid" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Parameter Name="dateExpires" DefaultValue='<%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %> 'Type="DateTime" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
** NOTE the DateTime does not show up in blue - if that helps with a solution **
Hi,I have a column (type: datetime) in which I want to load the current date and time.What should I fill in in the default value or binding so that SQL server automatically fills this column?Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I'm trying to set the default value of a column (SysInvNum) in a table (caseform) of mine by concatenating 3 other fields in the same table. These other fields are all Integer datatypes. they are "CaseYear" e.g. (2005), "InvNum" e.g. (0001) and "PostId" e.g. (5).
So basically the SysInvNum column for this row should read '200500015'
When I run a basic query using the CAST or CONVERT functions like this:
SELECT convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) from caseform
OR
SELECT cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(InvNum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform
I get the results I want. But since I want this value to be the default value of the column, I tried inserting this: convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) into the default value parameter of the column in the caseform table. The result is a string that is the query itself.
I then tried creating a UDF called getsysinvnum() where I declare and set 2 variables whilst returning one of the variables as a varchar. An example of what it looks like is this:
CREATE FUNCTION GetSysInvNum()
RETURNS varchar
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @maxcaseid Int
DECLARE @sysinvnum varchar
SELECT @maxcaseid = max (caseid) from caseform
SELECT @sysinvnum = cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(invnum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform where caseid = @maxcaseid
RETURN @sysinvnum
END
The result I get when I plug this into the default value of the column as : ([dbo].[getsysinvnum]()) is "2".
Yes it returns the number "2" could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or suggest a better way for me to do this?
Thanks in advance

Now the RS folks might be thinking but how does this help me as I need a dataset and a dataset can only be based on a Stored Procedure or a direct table. No problem create the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspCommonDates] AS
begin
set datefirst 1
declare @date datetime
set @date = getdate()
select * from dbo.udfCommonDates(@date)
end
Now you've got a stored procedure to use as a dataset...Now in reporting services add a new dataset:
Now go to the report parameters section of the report:
Now pick that dataset dsFunctions (or whatever you called it) and then pick any of the value fields from the scalar functions such as:
Now when you run the report it uses the scalars:
If you have questions feel free to ask :).
Hope this helps someone
Hello,
Is it possible to establish a set of default report and report body properties, perhaps in an ini file of some sort so that upon creating a new project and adding a new report item the developer does not have to go through the process of setting up all the interactive sizes, margins, paper sizes, etc each and every time? We have an established header that we incorporate on all reports and while in transition to the new Reporting Services it was my hope of finding something will create the first set of default conditions to help us automate the process just a bit.
Thank you.
Hi all,
Does sombody have experience on dynamically set or change the default value of a report parameter?
Assuming: report parameters p1, p2, p3, p4 have been set up(and have their default value 'all') with the creation of the report1; report browseing is through reportviewer that embedded in the web application; datasource is datacube
What I want to do: based on the login user of the my web application, set default value of p1 as the user's username.
What I did is:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter reportParam = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("P1","Mary");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter []{ reportParam });
what I got when reveiw the report:
P1 has no default value, and p2, p3, p4 greyed and could not choose value from them.
Any idea and suggestion will be pre-appreciated!

Hi all, I am trying to do a very basic ALTER Command and am trying to change its DEFAULT value. Code below is what I currently have:
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE Table_1
ALTER COLUMN TEST VARCHAR(1000) NULL DEFAULT 2
Thanks, Onam.
*UPDATE* I found this code but are there alternative methods? Additionally, if I was to update its DEFAULT value again how would I go about doing that? Do I first have to remove the CONSTRAINT and then run the command?
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE Table_1 ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Albumns_Comment DEFAULT 2 FOR TEST
Hello all,
What is the TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL settings for MSSQL like the default setting in Oracle. In Oracle the default setting allows one session to read consistent data without waiting for the other sessions to commit/rollback the data.
For eg: In Mssql, if I update table A in the first session, and in another session (second session) if I select from table A, the second session waits till the first session completes the updates and commit or rollbacks.
But in Oracle , if I update table A in the first session, and in another session (second session) if I select from table A, the second session will perform a read from the ROLLBACK SEGS and give a read consistent data without waiting for the first session to commit or rollback the transaction.
Is this type of behaviour is possible is MSSQL. And If YES how can I do it?
Thanks for any help

Not sure if this is more a .Net question or SQL Server, but I think it belongs here.
I have a small .Net app that reads records from a bunch of files from disk and inserts them into a database table. There could be several hundred files resulting in 100,000 records or more each time its run. Since it's a large table there are of course a few indexes on it so the insert takes a while. For larger sessions it could run as long as an hour. I need it to run in a transaction so that if anything happens while it's running the records from that run were committed on an all or nothing basis. However, I don't want to lock the table at all while the insert is happening. These aren't transaction records or anything like that, and the batches are separated by client so there will be no conflicts (no need to lock the table).
Unfortunately, no matter what I use for the isolation level of the transaction the table always ends up locked for reads. Data from previous runs is live at this point and we can't allow that. I have the choice of the following isolation levels when I create the transaction, but none seems to work:
Chaos
ReadCommitted
ReadUncommitted
RepeatableRead
Serializable
Snapshot
Unspecified
I would expect Chaos, ReadUncommitted, or Snapshot be okay here, but I can't seem to get it working. Any thoughts?
