Hi There
I have a Sql Server 2000 SP4 Enterprise Edition instance that experiences tremendous performance issues.
Problem is when i try analyse what is happenng , with profiler or Query analyser the server is under such strain that nothing works.
Profiler time's out, queries cannot execute due to insufficient memory.
There is no dedicated admin connection in SS2000.
Any alternative methods around this in SS2000 ?
Thanx
Hi all,
I am having two databases(MS-Sql) on two different servers.Let say they are Server1 and Server2.I am having some stored procedures(sps) which are executing on Server1.Results given by these sps are 6 different tables(Theses tables are temporary tables e.g #Table1 and they are created in one of the sps on Server1). And I want to use these 6 tables on Server2.
But constraint here is, i can create link server for Server1 from Server2 but not from Server1 to Server2.So i can not access Server2 directly from Server1.
Even if i am using custom tables here instead of temp tables(#) it will take me to solution but that is again a constraint i can not do this.
Is there any alternative solution for Link server in this case?
I dont want to go for OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE b'coz of performance issue.
Thank you in advance!!

I inherited this website from a previous developer that uses an Access DB as a backend. Ugh. Apparently, he was extremely limited in what databases he could use. The website is filled with problems related to connecting to this database, which is no surprise. Most of them are related to permissions to the database file, multiple user access, etc. I am thinking about moving this to a SQL Server Express DB and upgrading the site to the 2.0 framework. Most of my experience is in SQL Server, but since they can't, or won't, pay for the SQL Server Database, is this a good solution? I've considered using MySQL as well, but their host won't provide support for this. Are there any other recommended alternatives?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,I was wondering what anybodies feelings on storing images and files in SQL server express 2005?I am guessing it is a No No...If this is the case what are the best practices for achieving this?Would something like a table which held the "real name of the file", "a unique identifier" do the trick...hence in code (c#) i could create a GUID for the unique identifier maybe??? and then upload the pictue or file to a common directory and name it with the unique identifier rather than its real name.This means that i could potentially hold a different file with the same name i.e. no conflictsMy app is a sort of HTML editor in asp.net (all html is stored in the db) so if i do upload a picture using a GUID or uniquee identifier then if somebody saves teh image from a webpage then it would be called uniqueIdentifier.jpg which is probably what i don't want.So the only other idea i had was to create a directroy within my site which I would name with the unique identifier and upload the pics and files with thier real names into this directory. Hence each document would have its own directory so there would be no conflicts with filenamesAny advice or comments really appreciatedThanks in advanceIan

Hello!
I hope somebody can solve my question, now my workstation PC is install with Sql Server 2005 Evalution Version, I need to view sys.sysobjvalues, and after i check online, it need i logon using Dedicated Administarator Connection (DAC), but I failed to do that! Is it the Evaluation version not have this feature?
Just wondering if there is an alternative to reading SQL databases locally other than visualstudio.net or MS Enterprise manager. Are there any 3rd party software that I can use to manipulate a local SQL dbase (MDSE modules).

We have a situation where SSRS reports are using Testuser account to run the SSRS reports for every user who has access to these reports.Now developers need the password for this login Testuser to proceed with their ssrs reports development, but its sort of mess that no one has password ever saved.So in case is there a way it can be retrieved or what should be an alternative if password cannot be retrieved for that login, as i believe changing the password will break the reports using the current password?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm trying to come up with a replacement for @@IDENTITY, because I have SQL code I want to make more portable.
Original:ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(a,b,c) VALUES(A,B,C); SELECT @@IDENTITY")
Proposed solution:
lock(MyDataLayer)
ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM X")
if(ID==null) ID=1
MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(id,a,b,c) VALUES(ID,A,B,C)")
unlock(MyDataLayer)
(This is of course pseudocode, for SQL Server I'd need SET IDENTITY_INSERT.)
Do you think the preceding solution is equivalent to the original?
Do you know something better?
Equivalent should mean here, not necessarily generating the same ID's,
but maintaining functionality and consistence all over the database.
is there a way to get around not using USE in a PROCEDURE?
I need to because I have a main site that inserts information into other DB's that i use for various subdomains. But without being able to use USE i cant select which database is needed.
thx in advance
Hi!
I wrote a query in MS-ACCESS using IIF. Is there any way to convert it to SQL Server Query to do the same job as it do in MS-ACCEESS
e.g. Here is manipulation with one column that I did in MS-ACCESS
IIf(InStr(1,Destinations.[Destination Name],"-",1)-1<0,Destinations.[Destination Name],Left(Destinations.[Destination Name],InStr(1,Destinations.[Destination Name],"-",1)-1)) AS COUNTRY,
My company develops software that is distributed to thousands of customers. We chose MSDE as the database engine. Over the past 4 months, we have spent countless hours with customers, Microsoft, Installshield and web searches trying to resolve issues with installing MSDE. The issues seem to vary by customer and most take a great deal of support time. We understood MSDE to be a product that requires little support but in hindsight, it appears that it requires a great deal of knowledge just to get installed. We make small steps but no leaps forward.
It has come time to evaluate other products. If there is a magic bullet, I would love to hear about it. In its absence, does anyone have success to share with other products?

Hi,
Just curious, is there any alternative to SQLXMLBULKLOAD for shredding and loading very large (800 megs) XML files ? Due to the nature of the XML data sent to me (which I have no control over)I am having great difficulty loading data into tables. More specifically, I can load parent data but not the child data beneath it despite using sql:relationships.
Thanks,
Jeff
I have a situation where my SQL works everywhere else but my COBOL compiler complains wherever I use PARTITION BY. I can't find a workaround for that problem so I would like to remove all the PARTITION BYs. I'm not confident that I can do this accurately and would like some help getting started.
Here is my simplest example:
SELECT FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE)
FROM FESOR, FR
where FESOR.phase = 'Ref'
and FESOR.assign is null
and FESOR.comp_date is null
and FESOR.region = FR.REGION
and FESOR.type = FR.TYPE
and FR.REP_ROW='A'
GROUP BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE
What I'm looking for is a modified version of the SQL above which returns the same result set without using PARTITION BY.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hi,
In a stored procedure I'm processing, via a cursor, a table of, potentially, 100,000 rows on a daily basis. The only column in each row is a 12-byte transaction control number. I know that using cursors can cause performance issues. Is there an alternative to using a cursor that has less of a performance impact ?
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi All,
Beside cursor, what else can i use to speed up my processing? Now i have about 2mils rows need to update using one daily reference table(30k rows).
Thanks,

Cameron writes "Thanks for taking a look @ my question....
Basically, is there an alternative to indexing that maintains the fast searching capability (or possibly faster)?
We maintain over 500 databases on a single SQL server and currently (the way I am told) the server is limited to indexing 256 databases, so we have to basically create a new database with ALL the searchable data and use it for searches. While this works, it seems like there should be an alternate method. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time!"

What would be a better / more elegant solution to something like
IF(@areaCode = '111' OR @areaCode = '222' 0R @areaCode = '333')
BEGIN
//do something
END
that uses less OR's in an IF statement?
Hi all
I work as a production dba and our development team are trying to push a project which involves using triggers. The aim is to transfer information between to databases (on two differents servers) because currently users have to type in the same info into the two different systems.
The triggers will be defined on a couple of tables, checking for inserts, updates, deletes, and then insert this into staging tables within teh same database. However the trigger does more complex processing than just inserting the same records from the production table into the staging table. Because the schema between the source database and destination database is different, the trigger needs to do some manipulation before it updates the staging tables. It basically does massive selects from a number of different tables to get the desired column list & then puts that into the staging tables.
We have basically asked them to reimplement this solution using other methods (such as timestamping the necessary tables and then putting the trigger login into a stored proc and scheduling it to run through a job).
However, we've found out the triggers make use of the 'deleted' and 'inserted' special trigger tables to compare new data to old data - i.e. not all inserts/updates/deletes need to be pushed to the staging tables - it depends on certain criteria based on this comparison of old and new data.....that throws a spanner in the works. What alternatives could provide this functionality, without just making the whole process a a headache to maintain - which is why we recommended not using triggers in the first place!!
Sorry for the long post - needed to explain the issue properly. Hopefully some of you will be able to provide some feedback - teh sooner the better as I have a meeting with the developers later today and would like to offer some alternatives.
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a procedure that take several paramters and depending of whatvalues is submitted or not, the procedures shall return differentnumber of rows. But to simplyfy this my example use just oneparameter, for example Idnr.If this id is submitted then I will return only the posts with thisidnr, but if this is not submitted, I will return all posts in table.As I can see I have two options1. IF @lcIdNr IS NOT NULLSELECT *FROM tableWHERE idnr = @lcIdNrELSESELECT *FROM table2. Use dynamic SQL.The first example can work with just one parameter but with a coupleof different input paramters this could be difficult, anyway this isnot a good solution. The second example works fine but as I understanddynamic sql is not good from the optimizing point of view. So, I don'twant to use either of theese options, so I wonder If there i a way towork around this with for example a case clause?RegardsJenny

I have a SSIS package that imports an Excel file using Visual Basic 2005 into my SQL 2005 database. All the fields are the same in the DB and xls. The package runs with no problem but I need one of the fields to be autoincrement. I tried to set up the properties of one of my fields "ID" to be an Identity. This didn't seem to work at all. There are about 1300 records in the DB so far with the last "ID" number being 10001415. Before now, the numbers were inputed manually. I want the "ID" to be assigned when the SSIS package imports the xls file.
Any help is very appreciated.

Hi
I found it a bit annoying to type Go after some very simple query and I wonder is there a short cut to execute the query i type right after I press enter?
1> select * from Table
2> go <enter>
instead, how to you execute line 1 without entering go?
Thank you
There is another alternative ... if you are using MSCRM 3.0
follow this steps
1. Navigate to your report manager --> //<<Server Name>>/reports
2. Navigate to your datasource --> HOME > <<Datasource>>
3. At the top tab select Properties
4. Make sure that there is a user role call "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" thus apply the appropiate roles for it
Vula....!!!!!
Hi,I'm trying to create a stored procedure that checks to see whether the parameters are NULL. If they are NOT NULL, then the parameter should be used in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement otherwise all records should be returned.sample code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProjectInfo]
(@ProjectTitle varchar(300), @ProjectManagerID int, @DeptCode varchar(20), @ProjID varchar(50),
@DateRequested datetime, @DueDate datetime, @ProjectStatusID int)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF @ProjectTitle IS NOT NULL AND @ProjectManagerID IS NULL AND @DeptCode IS NULL AND @ProjID IS NULL AND @DateRequested IS NULL AND @DueDate IS NULL AND @ProjectStatusID IS NULL
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project
WHERE ProjectTitle = @ProjectTitle;
ELSE IF @ProjectTitle IS NOT NULL AND @ProjectManagerID IS NOT NULL AND @DeptCode IS NULL AND @ProjID IS NULL AND @DateRequested IS NULL AND @DueDate IS NULL AND @ProjectStatusID IS NULL
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project
WHERE ProjectTitle = @ProjectTitle AND ProjectManagerID = @ProjectManagerID;
ELSE
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project; I could do this using IF-ELSE but that would require a ridiculous amount of conditional statements (basically 1 for each combination of NULLs and NOT NULLs). Is there a way to do this without all the IF-ELSEs? Thanks.
Hi all, I have a sql problem i'd like to put to the masses because its driving me crazy! Before I start, this is a database i inherited so I cant change the schema.
I have a table which holds field information for a form, namely the table name, column name and some other irrelevant stuff (X/Y coordinates for printing onto a document). Here is some sample data to explain better:
TableName FieldName Xpos Ypos
---------- --------- ----- -----
FruitTable FruitName 10 20
VegTable VegName 10 40
FruitTable FruitColour 20 10
(Thats not the real data of course)
What I need is a calculated field which returns the value of each field from each table – probably by constructing a dynamic sql statement(?) It would look something like this:
Select @FieldName From @TableName Where bla bla bla – don’t worry about the where clause. The completed dataset will hopefully then look like this:
TableName FieldName Xpos Ypos FieldValue (calculated field)
---------- --------- ----- ----- ---------
FruitTable FruitName 10 20 Oranges (result of: Select FruitName From FruitTable Where....)
VegTable VegName 10 40 Parsnips (result of: Select VegName From VegTable Where....)
FruitTable FruitColour 20 10 Green (result of: Select FruitColour From FruitTable Where....)
I have tried creating a scalar-valued function which takes TableName and FieldName as parameters and creates a dynamic sql string, but i cannot seem to execute the sql once I have built it. Here is a general idea of how I was trying to use the function:
Main query:Select
TableName, FieldName, Xpos, Ypos,
dbo.GetFieldValue(TableName, FieldName) As FieldValue
From
tblFieldAndPosition---------------Function: CREATE FUNCTION GetFieldValue (@TableName nvarchar(255),@FieldName nvarchar(255))
RETURNS nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
Declare @SQL nvarchar(max)
Set @SQL = 'Select ' + @FieldName + ' From ' + @TableName
sp_executesql @SQL??
return ???
END ------------------------- The alternative to getting this data all out at once is contructing the sql statement in code and going back to the database once for every row - which i really dont want to do. If anyone has had a situation like this before, or can point me in the right direction I will be very very grateful. Hope thats clear. Thanks in advance
Good Day, please help me, i have a data driven site that displays computed data to a Complete Gridview, this is my problem, when i run my site, it all displays the informations and the gridview a i intended to. generally my site works fine BUT!!!!! my site have different levels of display, like thisSite 1:it has 3 dropdown menus, dropdown 2 is dependent to dropdown 1 and dropdown 3 is dependent to dropdown 2 and the complete gridview is dependent to dropdown 3, it is a postback process of dependencies, i hope you get what i mean, Site 2:this is the same as the site 1 but this time, is has 2 dropdown menus only, and the complete gridview has a gridview in side of it thru details template. Site 3: almost the same as Site 1 and 2 but this time there will be no dropdown menus, only the complete gridview, but the gridview has 3 levels, the same level sa the level of dropdown menus in site 1, where the main gridview has a gidview below it and a gridview again below it and soon, The Problem:the site works fine but it runs super SLOW!!! specially in the Site 3, where it has to display and compute different gridviews from the complete gridview at the same time, sometimes it cause the TIME OUT EXPIRE.that can i do to speed the process other than upgrading my server? is there an alternative?please helpfor more info this is the SQL codes that i used in each level in the complete gridviewThe highest level in the gridview of the initial display of the complete gridview: select rbu,count(distinct dslamname) as NumberOfDslam,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu and dnum > '1') as Used,

(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r
group by rbu The Second to the highest when you would click on the +/- button in the complete gridview select aco,count(distinct dslamname) as NumberOfDslam,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco and dnum > '1') as Used,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco and dnum < '1') as Remaining,
(select (select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco and dnum > '1')*100/(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco )) as Utilization,
(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r where rbu = ?
group by aco The Last in the display when you would click on the +/- of the second gridview select dslamname,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname and dnum > '1') as Used,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname and dnum < '1') as Remaining,
(select (select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname and dnum > '1')*100/(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname )) as Utilization,
(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r where aco
group by dslamname if you would look at it, all the codes are the same except for the selected field, i hope someone can help me with this, thanks and good day SALAMAT PO.,
