Hello all - I am trying to come up with a reasonable solution to an intermittent network. Specifically, I have a SQL Server 2005 installation that receives data from a client across a wireless network via OLE-DB. There are times when the network connection may not be available, and I would like to buffer the transaction (somehow!) locally, and then have it passed to the database upon re-establishing connectivity.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
I am attempting to duplicate a nifty feature that one of my colleagues used:
We have parameters where a user can select a client or an individual account. There are available values for each parameter from two queries. I tried to have the available values in the account list dependent on the user's selection in the client list by passing the client parameter's value to the query for the account data set and using it in a where clause, but I get a "forward dependency" error.
The weird thing is that my colleague tried the same strategy and it worked. We together tried to set my report up the same as his, but cannot find why his works and mine doesn't. Any ideas?
His report works when deployed from my machine, so there must be something in the actual report that is different...
Hello All,DDL Statements:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([MyDate] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOI have a varchar column which represents dates in YYYYMMDD and MM/DD/YYformats. If I query using:SELECT MyDate FROM Table1WHERE DOB LIKE '________'Why aren't the dates in MM/DD/YY returned ? Is the / a specialcharacter in T-SQL ?Thanks in advance
I assume that MS has a directive never to change the format of SSIS raw files...
However, what I'd like to know is that when I'm planning long-term systems where I've got backups of data (staging, logging, whatever) using raw files, can I be assured that future versions of SSIS will be able to read those raw files?
I assume a certain level of backwards compatibility, however, I'm just curious if I should think about building processes into my projects that would factor that in and rebuild raw files everytime a new/major release of SSIS comes out.
Hello, we are trying to find a way to send all SQL traffic from multiple machines in a DMZ trough only one point. This way the firewall doesn't need to be opened to each and every machine.
This may be a simple question but I have never done it before. Any recommendations?
alter proc [ProGeneral_College_Structure] @Year nvarchar(4) as begin DECLARE @SQLStatement nvarchar(1000)
Set @SQLStatement = 'SELECT School AS Level1Code, DIVISIONS.Div AS Level2Code, DIVISIONS.ProgArea AS Level3Code, DIVISIONS.progName AS LevelName , ' + SUBSTRING(@Year,1,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(@Year,3,2) + ' AS AcademicYearID FROM DIVISIONS WHERE (((DIVISIONS.[' + @Year + '])=1)) ORDER BY DIVISIONS.School, DIVISIONS.Div, DIVISIONS.ProgArea'
EXEC(@SQLStatement) end
It's something to do with the / concatenation I think, is it an escape character or something tried // obviously and CHAR(47). before I get comments I know it's dynamic sql and it's not great but I can't edit the divisions table so have to use a dynamic column.
When you restore a backup from a point in time, how do you then knowwhich transaction ID to start with when you want to roll forward fromthat point in time to another point in time?
I want to set a Report Parameter on a field. The Report Parameter is called 'filter'. In the statement I put the Report Parameter in the WHERE-part: WHERE ([DatabaseName$TableName].[FieldName] = @filter). After this I set the 'Available values' on the Report Parameter in the lay-out to Non-queried. When the report is running, no problems.
But.....
Now I want to set 'Available values' on 'From Query' and refer to the data set, so the user can choose on which value he want to filter. But now, after running the preview the following error displays: Error 1 [rsInvalidReportParameterDependency] The report parameter €˜filter€™ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter €œfilter€?. Forward dependencies are not valid.
Why can't I set the Report Parameter to 'From Query'? Anyone any suggestions???

I am trying to get Event Forwarding to work between two SQL 2000 servers. Both are running SQL 2000 Enterprise SP4 and Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2. I am managing them from my local desktop running XP. I have both servers registered in Enterprise Mgr.
<Server XInstance Z> (named instance) is the server on which I have a MAPI client installed and configured along with SQL Operators and SQL Alerts. <Server Y> (default instance) is the server from which I want to forward events > Sev 17.
<Server XInstance Z> is set up to receive error msgs 9002 and 1105 and email operators that either a log is out of space or a data file is out of space. It has been verified on <Server XInstance Z> that it will send locally generated errors to the operators correctly.
<Server Y> is set to forward to <Server XInstance Z> any event that is sev 17 or greater. However, when I simulate an 1105 on <Server Y> I get this error msg in its Application Event log:
Event Type: Error Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT Event Category: Alert Engine Event ID: 316 Date: 6/4/2007 Time: 11:37:55 AM User: N/A Computer: <Server Y> Description: Unable to open the eventlog on forwarding server '<Server XInstance Z>' (reason: Sockets error 11004).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I figured this may be due to the fact that SQLAgent is trying to forward a Windows event to another Windows server running SQL but there is no default instance of SQL Server. So I thought I would add a bogus entry to my Enterprise Manager that was just <Server X> with no instance name. Obviously, EM failed to connect but asked if I wanted to register anyway. I chose Yes. So I was then able to change the server in Forward To on <Server Y> to <Server X>.
That actually worked and it began forwarding error messages to to <Server X>. But the error messages are going to the System error log as opposed to the Application error log where I need for them to go. This is the message from the System error log on <Server X>:
Event Type: Error Event Source: MSSQLSERVER Event Category: Disk Event ID: 17052 Date: 6/4/2007 Time: 11:32:40 AM User: N/A Computer: <Server X> Description: The description for Event ID ( 17052 ) in Source ( MSSQLSERVER ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.

I'm stuck here now. Anyone else run into this problem?
I have a client that I provide financial modelling services to (using Excel). They have a requirement to start capturing subscriber movements in their SQL DB. how the table should be set-up and how to extract the necessary movements report. This is largely so that I may include these components in some of the financial models that I am working on.
Subscribers are reported as follows:
Opening subs (the prior periods closing balance; or the sum of new sales at point of 1st entry)
+ New Sales (new subs)
+ Upgrades (movement from a lower product package to the associated package)
- Downgrades (movement to a lower product package from the associated package)
- Churn (subscriber losses)
Closing Balance
All transactions are captured against a specific product package, on a specific date (ymd), and for an associated platform (e.g. digital TV, broadband TV, cable TV).
I believe we only need to capture new sales, upgrades, downgrades and churn. And then used a SP to compile the movements behaviour as described above.
So perhaps the table would appear as follows:
Platform Package Date Movement Value
DTV PROD 1 2014-11-02 New Sales 8
DTV PROD 1 2014-11-02 Upgrades 1
[code]....
So I am assuming that given a table such as the above, we could write a SP to produce an output such as (note, below looks at monthly total so will not agree back to sample above which contains only 2 days):
Platform Package Movement September October November
DTV PROD 1 OPEN 600 676 776
DTV PROD 1 New Sales 92 106 88
[code]....
how one is best to accumulate the balances given that the open date for any given reporting period is in fact an accumulation of all balances since day 1.
How does one typically capture this type of thing in SQL?
I am working on a rewards program and I have a table whenever customer completes a trip, his total fare,business points earned for that particular trip and respective Promotional points gets inserted.
Now I have a scenario whenever customer business points accumulates to 10 then need to award 3 promotional points.
If Business Points=14 for a single trip then for the first 10 points respective Promo points will be awarded and the remaining 4 points should get carry forward for the next trip and this 4 points should get accumulated with the next trip Business Points and so on.
Basically need to check for every 10 Business points accumulated award some Promo points and carry forward remaining points.
Here is the sample table structure and data :
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblRedeems] ( [Mobileno] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [TripNo] [int] NOT NULL, [CustomerName] [varchar](50) NULL, [TripEndTime] DATETIME NOT NULL,
A fast_forward cursor is read only by definition, meaning the rows can't be updated, but I'm not sure if they are insensitive or not. Do they reflect the changes in the database after the cursor is opened?
I am using the AutoFetch Option with Fast Forward Cursors with SQLOLEDB to access SQL Server 2005. This really works out but for the first I execute the query only.
But as I use parameterized statements, when I re-use the cursor, just re-binding new variables and re-executing it again, the AutoFetch does not work any more.
I noticed that thru the SQL Server Profiler. I see a sp_cursorfetch been called at the second time the cursor is re-executed.
I have setup a database mirroring session without witness - ServerA is the principal, ServerB is the mirror,. Each SQL Server instance is hosted on its own machine on sql2005 EE SP2. The mirroring is working correctly. If I submit to server ServerA command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER
, ServerB becomes the principal, it means that mirroring works correctly.
My issue is with the SQL Native Client and a front-end ASP application (actually IIS 6.0 site) that needs to make use of this database. I have setup my front-end application to use SQL Native Client and specified the failover server in connection string. Here is the connection string that I am using :
Everything works perfectly on my front-end application when ServerA is the principal. If I execute on server ServerA command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER
, ServerB becomes the principal, and the failover occurs correctly on the database side. The problem is that my front-end application is not able to query the database on ServerB. The error appears:
Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80004005'
Cannot open database "MYDBNAME" requested by the login. The login failed.
This behavior my appication till I unload IIS 6.0 pool application. After that my front-end application becomes work correctly with ServerB.
When I swap server, I execute on server ServerB command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER,
my IIS 6.0 application automaticly turn back to ServerA without any action on my side.
I am using SQL Native Client last version http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/c/27c60d49-6dbe-423e-9a9e-1c873f269484/sqlncli.msi (issued in February 2007). Has anyone experienced this issue? I'm thinking that it's a problem in the SQL Native client
I am creating a report on a database where some of the table names start with the @ sign - ie @table1.
Reporting services picks this up as a parameter, instead of a table name in my query, even though I am encapsulating the table name in square brackets eg. [@table1]
I have several data sets in the report that i am using to populate valid parameters. These datasets are all variations of queries from tables that have @ as the first character.
When i then try to run the report i get an error message as follows: "The report parameter pool has a default value or a valid value that depends on the report parameter SD_POOLCONTRACTS. Forward dependencies are not valid"
This is frustrating as SD_POOLCONTRACTS is not a report parameter but one of the database tables that has @ for it's first character.
here is the query that i use to obtain the valid values for the pool report parameter that i am trying to set up.
SELECT distinct u_poolcode as Pool FROM OCRD INNER JOIN OCRG ON OCRD.GroupCode = OCRG.GroupCode INNER JOIN CRD1 ON OCRD.CardCode = CRD1.CardCode inner JOIN [@SD_POOLCONTRACT] INNER JOIN [@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE] ON [@SD_POOLCONTRACT].DocEntry = [@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE].DocEntry INNER JOIN [@SD_CONTRACTS] ON [@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE].U_DocNo = [@SD_CONTRACTS].DocNum ON case when len(ocrd.fathercard) = 0 then ocrd.cardcode else ISNULL(OCRD.FatherCard, OCRD.CardCode) end = [@SD_CONTRACTS].U_CardCode WHERE (OCRD.CardType = 'c') AND (OCRG.GroupName LIKE N'producer%') AND (CRD1.AdresType = 'b') ORDER BY OCRG.GroupName, FatherCard, OCRD.CardCode
I missed the ability to restore based on a time (10/23 6pm) due to our purge cycle in our production environment, but I was able to obtain the 10/18 full backup, the 10/23 differential backup, and the 4, 10/23 trans. log backups. I moved all the fore mentioned files to a staging environment, and now I am trying to restore all of the files to 10/23 6pm and I get :
"The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward" error.
1) I have a report with many parameters that I want users to be able to pick from. Allow them to pick 1, many or all to build their report dynamically. I'm all set on the TSQL side, but on the Reporting Services side I have to allow each parameter to be null with a default of NULL. In by doing this, the report will auto run, which I do not want to happen. The only resolution I've found thus far was by adding a parameter that does nothing, with a NULL default value. Yet It sticks out like a sore thumb on the report and I want to get rid of it. If I check in "Hidden" in the parameter options, my report errors out stating that the parameter requires a value.
2) Is it possible to have a parameter that has available values from a dataset have a NULL checkbox like those of parameters that do not have available values?
3) Is it possible to add back/forward buttons inside of a report instead of just at the report header by default?
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022'; go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin
My store Procedure is not save in Strore Procedure folder at the time of saving it give me option to save in Project folder and file name default is SQLQuery6.sql when i save it after saving when i run my store procedure
exec [dbo].[SP_GetOrdersForCustomer] 'ALFKI'
I am getting below error :
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1 Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.SP_GetOrdersForCustomer'.
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1) begin select @errno = @errno | 1 end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE dbo.t1 EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration. Table Scan. Forward scan. Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1 SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01) WHERE f1 = @p1 ) SET ROWCOUNT 0
Hi allI am using .jpg images in my application, I am currently storing all my images in a file location, and placing their file path in the database. The problem with this is that I cannot display the images in crystal reports (version with vs.net 2005). I can however display the images if I store them as bytes in an image data type in my db.So the question is should I store either the file path of the bytes of the image in the database table? What are the contraints, I know that size is one, but will speed & performance be affected?Mike55.
My users table looks lie this: userID (primary key) firstName lastName userName userCode Industry Company Office dateCreated Password …
Every time that I create a new user I have to create userCode (for internal use). userCode should be created from first letter of the FirstName, first letter from LastName and a number. Example: firstName: lastName: userCode: Joe Blow jb1 Jake Brinks jb2 Ann Smith as1 …
If same userCode already exist the in the same Industry and in the same Company and in the same Office then createCode function should increment the number (the third character of the userCode) up to 9
