BCP - Some Doubts

Jul 29, 1999

Hi,

I am currently using SQL Server version 6.5 and am trying to execute the BCP command
from the command prompt to update my database. Right now, if the tables doesn't have
any primary key constraints, the BCP works fine and inserts all the rows to the database.
Suppose the table has some primary keys and the datafile to the BCP has some duplicate
records in it. It says, the following

Starting copy...
Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1:
Server 'DHRUVA', Line 1:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_docket_booking4_1__10':
Attempt to insert duplicate key in object 'docket_booking4'.

It does not insert any rows to the database. Is there anyway I can overcome this error and
proceed on with the BCP to copy data. THe datafile which I give will have duplicate records.

regards
Ramesh Seetharaman.

Doubts On Indexing.

Sep 5, 2007


Hi,


set @DN=''

set @DN=@DN+'AA9999'
select @ID = ID from TableA where status='A' and ColumnA like '%'+@DN
ColumnA is NonClusteredIndex

When I use = symbol it goes for Index Seek (like below query) otherwise its going for table scan. Could anyone advice me which index need to be used for getting 'Index Seek' when I use like Operator. Basically TableA has millions of records.

select @ID = ID from TableA where status='A' and Code = 'AA9999'

Doubts On Integration Services

Jan 14, 2008

Good morning,

I've to do a mining project and I intend to use the SSIS.

I've done a clustering plugin last year on analysis services and I also want to use it.

Let me try to explain the architecture of the process:

1) Receive data (read data from the database - these data are texts, actually)

2) Pre-process the data (transform the texts in a sparse matrix) using a new plugin

3) Call my clustering plugin and assign it to read the table created on the previous step

4) Call my KNN plugin to classify other pre-processed texts using the clusters found on the previous step as classes.

5) Show results.

Alright... It all running as a workflow on integration services

Here are my doubts:

A) How to view and use my plugin made for Analysis Services on Integration Services ? (is it possible or will I have to create another plugins from zero just to run on Integration Services ?)


B) Assuming the previous step is possible, how to modify my plugins to define inputs and outputs to do the correct communications between each plugin ? I think this is the most important question. Is it simple to do ? Is there any documented examples ?


Thanks a lot for your attention once more,

-Renan Souza

Jan 15, 2007

I have a SQL cluster 2005 with 2 nodes. I involved a ETL (DTS) on SSIS.

I publish it to the MSDB so in case that we have a failover that the package is the same.

However in case of switching server (failover) the package that I published on NODE 1 does not run on NODE 2.

And it fail:

Doubts Regarding Sales Forecast Model

Aug 5, 2006

I have few more clarification regarding time series.
Firstly
In my model the month level product sales value represented across 1st day of every month. So that the key time column is of datetime datatype containing a sequence of dates representing the 1st day of every month of the year.
Eg: 2006-01-01, 2006-02-01€¦€¦€¦. etc. all in (yy-mm-dd) format
But
when I make prediction for next five months, though it makes monthly
predictions the date part for the months are random whereas I expect
the date part to be 1st of every month. What is the reason for this and how can I overcome it.
Secondly
Predicted
sales values for some time period are negative though I do not have any
negative value in the training data. What is the reason for this and
how can I rectify it?

Thirdly
In
one of your earlier posts you had said that the time series algorithm
does not have any built in time intelligence but uses the key time
column as a time sequence stamp. So If have to make predictions for a
particular time period where the time slice for each time period is 25
days or 50 days etc, then I understand that the input data used to
train the model should be in the same time sequence.
Or
Can I specify the span of the time period according to which the prediction needs to be made?
Basically
how can I use the same time series model to make monthly, yearly,
quarterly, daily or predictions or for custom time period like I have
mentioned above.

BCP Support In SQL Server 2005 - Doubts

Sep 4, 2007

Hi friends,

I am currently using SQL Server 2000 server. I have run some BCP command to import data to SQL from CSV and Text files with the help of FORMAT files through Windows Scheduler.

My doubt is, if I swich to SQL Server 2005, whether the same BCP commands will supported? If no, What are the things I need to do to run the BCP commands in 2005 as in 2000?

I heard that the BCP utility is no longer support in 2005 and this can be done thru SSIS utility. Is it right...?
Is SQL Server 2005 support to use the BCP commands without going to SSIS utility?

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sethu.

A Very Basic Q

Mar 18, 2005

This is probably a very silly question.I started learning ASP.net by following ASP.NET Unleashed. I am stuck where he wants me to open a connection to SQL Server database. I have just downloaded
MSDE. But I dont know where to type this code and how to run it..so as to connect to the database.

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>

<Script Runat="Server">

Sub Page_Load
Dim conPubs As SqlConnection

conPubs = New SqlConnection( "server=localhost;uid=webuser;pwd=secret;database=pubs" )
conPubs.Open()
End Sub

</Script>

Connection Opened!

Now do i have to change the uid to SA ? (i had to assign one when i downloaded and installed MSDE?

Thanks for the help.

Basic DTS...

Nov 16, 2005

Hi all,

am not very experienced in using DTS and really need your help. I have a dts package that i have scheduled to run every day. Here's what i want the package to do:

1. Check whether a value for a certain column in a certain row of a table in my database is 0 or 1. If it is 1, then
2. Run the dts task (which i have created and is working)

In other words, when the package is started, i want to execute a stored procedure or sql task or whatever, and if that returns 1 then i want to continue, if it returns 0 i want to finish the package without running the dts task. I'm sure there's a simple way to do this, but i could use your help...!

Thanks,
Elisabet

Basic Problem

Feb 19, 2007

I downloaded SQLExpress and Visual Studio Express to my home computer.
I built a simple database, adding data through theSQLexpress admin tool.
 I built a web page using MS Studio. I connected to the database and used the webpage for a few days. Then I restarted the computer. Now the web page won't open, and MS Studio won't open the MDF file in the App_Data folder.
I can still see and work in the database through SQL server Express.
 The web page and the MSStudio attempt to connect to the mdf file both fail with this message:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'KAAAK/Administrator'.
So it seems to be trying to connect as the Windows user.
When I try to modify the connection to connect through a user/password I created in SQL manager, I get a message that the user is not a trusted SQL user.
 from web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|info.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;User ID=Admin;Password=12345" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
 That was changed from the original string created automatically by MS Studio
<connectionStrings>
<add name="stocksConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|stocks.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
I am sure this is some simple problem, but why would the system refuse to access an mdf file it had already been accessing.?
Thanks, Michael

Very Basic SQL Question.

Jul 25, 2007

This is a very simple question. How would a select satement be formated in the following example.
SELECT Grade, Student_ID, First_Name, Last_Name FROM Scores WHERE (This is where I'm stuck and I know this is not the right formatting although I wish it were because it would make my life a little bit easier.) Student_ID = 115485, 115856,  568547, 965864, etc...
I may have up to 100 specific student ids to put in this one statement. I know I can use the "WHERE  Student_ID = 115485 OR Student_ID = 115856, OR Student_ID = 568547" but that would be alot of waste. Seems like there should be an easier way than using the "OR Student_ID =" for every entry.
Can someone explain another way I can do this. Thanks in advance.

SQL Indexing - ***BASIC****

Sep 15, 2005

Hoping someone could me with an ongoing indexing question that I have.

On my site, we have over the past 5 years developed what is emerging as a fairly complicated dbase structure, as features have been added to my site and relations have increased between different database tables, there has been a need to index fields in different ways, and in some instances field indexing has overlapped. For example we may have a table that has 5 fields (field1,field2,field3,field4,field5). A need to index field1 is requried because of a query that reads:

SELECT * From Table1 where field1=XXXXX

Additionally there may be a need to for another query that reads:

SELECT * From Table1 where field2=XXXXX

In this instance an index is placed on field2....
But, for example when there is the following query:

SELECT * From Table1 where field1=XXXXX and field2 = XXXXX

Is it necessary to set a new index on: field1,field2 ???

We have made the choice that yes, in fact there is...but now over time some of our tables have instances of single fields being indexed along with combinations of two single fields that have already been indexed, being indexed together. As tables have grown to over 1,000,000 records and having up to 15 or so indexes, we realize that the number of indexes maybe degrading performance. Also, indexes vary in type, e.g INT,BIGINT,Varchar fields... In the above instance, can we eliminate the multi-indexes and improve performance over all...?


On a second related question:

In the event that two tables are joined on a common field.

e.g. Select * from Table1,Table2 where Table1.field1=Table2.field1

Is it necessary to index both of these fields in tables: Table1 and Table2 ?


Hope someone can help, as we are looking to improve the efficiency of our tables as they continue to grow.
