I have a field in one of my tables called renew_date. The renew_date is always the first of every month. My requirement is to have a query that's run on the first of every month to select records that have renew_date coming up in the next 150 days.(5 months from today).
I would like some suggestions on how to keep from displaying the value "1/1/1900" on my asp pages when my recordset field returns a Sql date value that is null
I have two columns in Informix data base One has Data Type of date and another column of data type string. Time is stored in string format. I have to Validate wether both are correct, not null, greater than 1753 and concate to get one datetime field to transfer to SQL Server. Right now I am doing it in script component, as I need to log error if any thing is wrong Is there any better way to do it,(derived column or any other component) so that I can log the error also.
Hello, I want the server to check validation rules and not the user application is this possible??? I want to send my own messages to the user and dont want the user to see the servers messages. Thank you in advance Eran
Hi I think by virtue of not being able to find reference to this I have my answer however.... You trap an error, check it and know that you are happy with it - it isn't an issue. Is it possible to prevent that specific error (number, message - the lot) being passed to the client so developers don't need to handle the error a second time? Ta db chucks :D
I'm thinking of storing a lot of images, Word documetns, PDF, and emails as media in SQL Server 2005. Is it equiped to handle a lot of media? Or is it still preferred to store media separately on a file server?
I am trying to handle exceptions using try catch with remote database.
I am writing the following code which works fine if login locally but when I am trying to do the same on linked server its not being caught in try..catch block.
The procedure I am writing to raiserror
create proc CustomError as RAISERROR ('db error', 16, 1);
I am calling the above procedure in local database using following code
BEGIN TRY exec CustomError END TRY BEGIN CATCH select ERROR_MESSAGE() as ERROR_MESSAGE; END CATCH; GO
and it works perfectly. I am able to catch the error in catch block.
and i m getting the following result db error
but when i am trying to do the same on linked server the code doesn't take me to catch block. I am getting following error while executing the code
go BEGIN TRY exec [192.168.0.50].[BM].dbo.CustomError END TRY BEGIN CATCH select ERROR_MESSAGE(); END CATCH; GO
where [192.168.0.50] is a linked server name and BM is the database name and custom error is my sp which is on remote server.
its giving me following error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CustomError, Line 11 db error
I'm creating a class that will wrap a SqlException and will offer the developer a way of determining how to proceed in handling the exception by offering a suggestion of retrying, revalidating the data, and/or calling the entire process a no go.
One of the ways i've come up with to accomplish this is by using the severity (SqlException.Class) to assist in making a suggestion to the developer.
I'm hoping to get some feedback from the developers who use this forum if they feel severity is or is not the way to go, and also to offer any other ways of accomplishing that they can come up with.
I'm taking the liberty to announce the availability of a suite of articles on my web site about error and transaction handling in SQL Server. In total there are three main parts and three appendixes.
The first part is a short jumpstart, while Part Two is a long in-depth discussion of what can happen in SQL Server in case of an error and what commands that are available. Part Three covers implementation and has lot of examples as well as a facility for logging and raising errors.
The appendixes cover special areas: linked servers, the CLR and Service Broker.
We have several jobs that if any step fails, we need to continue with the next step. Due to this we have the both 'On Success Action' and 'On Failure Action' set to 'Go to the next step'. Our only issue is that when all the steps are done we still require the job itself to fail.
So my question is this, is there anyway the status of a job can be queried to determine if any of it's steps failed?
We have trigger on a table. The trigger implementation is to insert a record in another table. If any error occurred in the trigger then the trigger should log the error to a file on the file system.
CREATE TRIGGER [myTRIGGER] ON [dbo].[MyTest] AFTER INSERT AS declare @errorcode int; INSERT INTO MySecondTable (id, myvalue) values (null, 'hey') set @errorcode=@@ERROR if (@errorcode <>0) print 'Error occurred with error code "' + CONVERT(varchar, @@ERROR) + '"'
Problem If the insert statement fails, for example because of a null violation, then trigger aborts and never reaches the next step in the trigger T-SQL code. IS this a limitation or there's somthing wrong on the above code? Thanks
During this latest time change, the value of getutcdate() was offset by one hour as called from SQL Server. True UTC time should never be impacted (or changed) by any Daylight Savings Time activity. This is likely not an OS issue, since IIS logs did show the correct UTC time (unchanging) during the DST time change.
Here is a record of how the time change was handled by a running SQL 2000 sp4 Server as these functions were called:
getutcdate() = Oct 29 2006 5:50AM //ran at the same time as// getdate() = Oct 29 2006 1:50AM
getutcdate() = Oct 29 2006 7:05AM //ran at the same time as// getdate() = Oct 29 2006 2:05AM

I would like to capture any errors thrown by linked server in my stored procedure, How do I do this? eg: Select statement in sp to remote server fails if login credentials were changed for some reason on remote server. @@error is not able to capture this error and stored procedure is terminated when this type of error occurs.
Hi, I would like to transfer data from an oracle database to SQL server database 2000. I am using DTS Export/ Import Wizard for this purpose. My queries are: 1. How can I write the write the Start time, End time, data records that failed to a log file with minimal amount of coding. (I found that Active X scripts can be written although the coding is quite complex). Can I get some kind of pointers to simple coding that can ensure I log time of run of DTS and errors if they occurred.
2. There is an error log written by DTS, but this is written only if an error occurs and the details of error are not written. I am looking to log successful transfers too. Can the DTS package be modified, with minimal code to achieve this objective?
3. I tried scheduling the DTS through the Edit window that SQL Server 2000 provides but am not able to change the time of schedule. How do I schedule it?
I'm trying to get to grips with the formview control and have a problem regarding where an exception is raised if SQL server raises an error when an insert is taking place. I am new to both asp.net & c# I have put the following code in the SqlDataSource2_Inserted & Formview1_Inserted events as a way of determining where the exception is raised: if (e.ExceptionHandled){ string exceptionmessage = e.Exception.Message; lblStatus.Text = exceptionmessage;} These two events are the only one's that have the ExceptionHandled and Exception properties. I run the code with data that will raise a duplicate key error from SQL Server but the error is not being caught by either of these two handlers. All I get is a page that starts with Server Error in '/SourceCode' Application.
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_reftblAntigens'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'reftblAntigens'.The statement has been terminated. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_reftblAntigens'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'reftblAntigens'.The statement has been terminated.... Is there somewhere else I should be looking to handle this sort of thing? I thought using the databound controls would make life easier but I'm actually finding it more of a pain than coding everything myself.
After performing a join operation on two tables i get the below resultset
pid, fname, typename, pname, pcost
1, cad, bars, product-1, 100
2, har, witte, product-2, 120
3, nes, bars, product-3, 119
Now i need to create files with the obtained resultset like
Column 'fname' is the folder name and 'typename' should be the file in the particular folder.
For example the first record should be inserted into file name 'bars.txt' in the folder 'cad' and third record should be created in file name 'bars.txt' in the folder 'nes'.
I am running SQL 2014 2-node AlwaysON Availability groups, Enterprise Edition in our environment and 5 databases are part of AG.
Question is, sometimes AG is getting failed over to node2 but always our preferred node is node1 due to some business needs otherwise some of our jobs will fail.
So, what I looking for is, a sql script which can handle a situation wherein, for some reason, AG is failed over to node2, it should be able to detect if node1 is back online or not and if so, it should fail back to node1. How to do this using tsql query or stored proc or sql agent job ?
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2011-09-06

For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.
I want to compare two columns in the same table called start date and end date for one clientId.if clientId is having continuous refenceid and sartdate and enddate of reference that I don't need any caseopendate but if clientID has new reference id and it's start date is not continuous to its previous reference id then I need to set that start date as caseopendate.
So I have to build dynamic T-SQL because of a date parameter that will be provided. The Date Parameter will be provided in SSRS in normal MM/DD/CCYY format. So how do I then convert that date to my Oracle format
Hi, Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor 1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; - Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC" and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; - Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
I have soma ado.net code that inserts 7 parameters in a database ( a date, 6 integers). I also use a self incrementing ID but the date is set as primary key because for each series of 6 numbers of a certain date there may only be 1 entry. Moreover only 1 entry of 6 integers is possible for 2 days of the week, (tue and fr). I manage to insert a row of data in the database, where the date is set as smalldatetime and displays as follows: 1/05/2007 0:00:00 in the table. I want to retrieve the series of numbers for a certain date that has been entered (without taking in account the hours and seconds). A where clause seems to be needed but I don’t know the syntax or don’t find the right function I use the following code to insert the row :
and the following code to get the row back (to put in arraylist):
“SELECT C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 FROM Series WHERE (LDate = Today())? WHERE LDate = '" + DateTime.Today.ToString() + "'"
Which is the correct syntax? Is there a better way to insert and select based on the date?
I don’t get any error messages and the code executes fine but I only get an empty datatable in my dataset (the table isn’t looped for rows I noticed while debugging). Today’s date is in the database but isn’t found by my tsql code I think.
I have a query to run a report where the results has a column named “Due Date” which holds a date value based on the project submission date.Now, I need to add 4 columns named, “45 Days Expectant”, “30 Days Overdue”, “60 Days Overdue” and “90 Days Overdue”.I need to do a calculation based on the “Due Date” and “System (I mean default computer date) Date” that if “System Date” is 45 days+ to “Due Date” than put “Yes” in “45 Days Expectant” row.
Also, if “Due Date” is less than or equal to system date by 30 days, put “Yes” in “30 Days Overdue” and same for the 60 and 90 days.how to write this Case Statement? I have some answers how to do it in SSRS (Report Designer) but I want to get the results using T-SQl.
I'm writing a view to check record counts in a table that has numerous datasets and therefore various "Activity Dates". Is it possible as part of the SQL statement to have a CASE statement for example so that it can identify the field to use as the activity date?
The field to use is being identified using a seperate table so at the moment I have CASE WHEN FieldToUse = '2' THEN MapCol ELSE '[Activity_Date]' END, where FieldToUse = '2' identifies the date field to use and the MapCol data is the field name to be used as the activity date.
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's got to be a better way...
I am writing a ASP.NET C# web application. I will need to store the date in one field in one of my tables. It appears that I need to use the datetime data type for the date in SQL Server 2005. So I have a question 1.) How do I get today's date in C# and how should this be passed to SQL server?
