out this record if two numbers seperated by a comma, left side is
equal to 1 and right site is greater than 0. Is it possible? if so,
how can I do it?
How do I store a sound/wave file in SQL Server. Does SQL Server have the facility to store sound files in the database, if so what data type should be used and functions related to it. Thanks Paul
I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?
okay so i have query which sure does run fine if i drop it into a SQL server's console. however i try and put this into ACCESS so the accounting department can use it and it returns no values.
not sure if i should drop in the vb forum or what but im about to build a page in c# and have them get it that way.
Any one have any suggestions
Code:
select Doc.Dat, Doc.DocNo, Doc.IdPers, Pos.ItemNo, Pos.[Description], Pos.Quantity, Pos.SinglePrice, Pos.Discount from Pos, Doc where Doc.Dat like '%2005%' AND IdPers = (select IdPers from Pers where match = 'Aec One Stop Group, Inc.') AND Pos.IdDoc in ( select idDoc from Doc where Type = 8 ) ORDER by Dat, DocNo DESC
I like this forum but recently I have noticed they are running ads with sound effects.
I like a lot of programmers I know listen to music through their computer with headphones on all day. Whenever one of those adds fire off it about scares the BeJesus of me and comes through louder than the music. I am playing with my settings but I each time I find one that kills the sound effects it kills the music too.
Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.

trying to install sql server2005 on a windows 2003 server box.
getting msg below at the sql server . i looked at other posts on trying to uninstall SQL Native Access Client and norton antivirus. i could never find the snac on the add - remove programs and this server does not have a virus protection program yet.
here's the history of the installs on the server:
wanted to test a 2005 upgrade so:
1) installed sql server 2000 then sp4 then restored some databases to it - all OK
2) tried to upgrade to sql 2005 but ran into problems and left it at that.
had a disk drive crash on the d drive so lost the installs but not the operating system
when the drive was replaced, left alone for a while
then wanted to test a straight 2005 install
1) removed the broken 2005 attempt
2) removed the 2000
3) installed 2005 and got the error on the subject line:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
i've gone through as many of the forums that i can and have tried several things - like uninstalling 2005 and installing pieces and parts but but nothing seems to work.
i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below. [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
Please help share with me if you know the version compatibility matrix of Ms SQL Server, ODBC driver (sqlsrv32.dll), Driver Manager (odbc32.dll) and ODBC API spec. For instance, how can I know Ms SQL Server 2000 can work with which version of sqlsrv32.dll, a particular version of sqlsrv32.dll can work with which version of odbc32.dll and a certain version of sqlsrv32.dll/odbc32.dll conforms to which version of ODBC API spec (e.g. 3.5).
Hi,Could some please tell me whether Microsoft provides Type 2 and Type 4jdbc driver ? For Type 4 MS providescom.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. What is thecofiguration required for type 2 driver and what driver class filesrequired ?Its very urgent to me please reply.Ajay
On my test database I have log device size grown to 4 GB from 2 GB. Is there anyway to reduce it? I have truncate log on checkpoint option on. I tried dbcc shrinkdatafile. Didn't help.. Any suggestions???
I have a Device of 6GB and a Transaction logof device of 1.5Gb , the database of the associated device had gone suspect.so i dropped the database , now i a m trying to delete the device it says cannot delete as its in use by some database , i have checked all the Dbs butits not associted with anything what shold i do????
Hi all, hope someone can give me some guidence on this.
We have a database on SQL 6.5 sp5a that is 25GB in size. The transaction log is 10GB in size. We do transaction log dumps every hour throughout the day. On a very heavy day the transaction log backup device will be just over 2GB in size. Around 8GB wasted because no-one knew how much space would be used.
Is there an easy way to resize the transaction log so we can reclaim some space. I was thinking of creating a new smaller database device, then using sp_logdevice to use the smaller device as the log and get rid of the 10GB device.
We have a 6.5 database that is comprised of 4 device files. As the database grows over time a new device is created for the space expansion. The last one was created on the wrong partition and the database was expanded onto it. I now need to move the device to the correct partition/directory. My question is; what is the easiest way to accomplish this move? Is it possible to move the device file and manually modify sysdevices? If so, what order of events should be followed?
I want to expand a log device and am having a problem. When in Edit Database Device, the `Change Now` button is disabled and the size of the device is shown as a negative number.
On occasion, I notice that some of my backup devices have become "offline" and the scheduled tasks associated with them will no longer run.
I get this error: Can`t open dump device `d:MSSQLBACKUPdvbk_AFISlog.DAT`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)
Does anyone know how to get them back online without having to create a new device? Thanks in advance...
Hi, I am trying to take a dump on to a disk with one of device A..its a transaction log dump every 15 minuter with no init and from the same device which is connected to my standy server i am doing the load, the time diffrence is 15 minutes between standy and production in terms of dump and load i am getting this error very frequently the device is offline the message is "Can't open dump device 'j:ABC.DAT', device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)"
Now can this error come when the dump and load is happing at the same time tru the same device...???????
I would like to free up some space on a SQL 6.5 server. My tempdb is on a second device (other than master) that is 500M. I don't need tempdb to be this large anymore. What would happen if I shut down SQL, renamed this device so that SQL Server wouldn't use it, and restarted SQL Server. Could I then create a new, much smaller device for tempdb? Would this work?
I want to store bakup file on the computer on netword, so make a backup device on the other computer, it ok. after that i make an full backup, there is an error : "Can not open the bakup device " . please show me, best regard.
Hi,I am slightly confused about the meaning of a 'device cal'(specifically for sql server but I guess the same applies to other mslicences)In the examples about device cals, there is a picture of a number ofwindows desktops connected to a database server. each desktop canpotentially be used by a number of users and requires one device cal.All well and good.Now, say I have a web application hosted hosted on a different machineand connecting to SQL server. the SQL server licencing FAQ says"A device CAL covers multiple users' access to server software from asingle, shared device."is my web server a shared device? so does the web server require asingle device CAL no matter how many users use it?Andy
I need your precious expertise in resolving one problem . I have transaction log file devices created on on two drives i.e c and d drives .
I want to move the the log device from d drive to c drive or vice versa . How can i do it . Can somebody help with detailed steps pl .
What are the things necessary to check after the device has been moved to either of the locations , to ensure that everythingh works well . I have SQL Server 7.0 with SP 3 .
Will the database be marked suspect ? I that case what should i do ?
Any kind of help on the issue will help me a lot .
I have taken ownership of a SQL 7 Server that has many DB's with each DB's devices spread all over the 6 disks that exists in the Server.
e.g.
DB - Reference has
Data devices on D (20mb), E(40mb) , F(60mb) drives
and Logs having a similar spread.
Now what I want to do is to restore a full backup of the database into a new db but with only one data device and one log. So that basically the server is tidied up. The reason the devices are spread is not due to performance reasons.
The QUESTION IS : How do I restore a full back up of a db with many devices in to a NEW db with only 1 data device and 1 log device.
