Strange ROUND Function!!!
Feb 16, 2007Set @AVG = ROUND ((V1*5+V2*5)/10,0)
What is the difference between these codes?
Set @AVG = ROUND ((V1*5+V2*5)/10.0,0)
For values V1=80, V2=85;
First code gives 82! Second gives 83!:confused: :confused: :confused:
Strange Behavior Of Format Function
Jan 25, 2007Hi, I came upon a strange behavior of Format function in report, which I'm unable to explain.
I have some double value, which I want to format. E.g. the value is in db field "Users" and is 303870
1)
If I set a Value property for the field to
=Fields!Users.Value or CDec(=Fields!Users.Value)
//the value is already double so the CDec has no effect
and Format property for the field to
=Format(me.Value,"#,#") or =Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
than the number which is visible in the report is 3303,873870 ???
2)
If I put in the Value property
=Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
and the Format property is empty
than the output is ok 303,870, however this is not desired, because the value is than handled as string
3)
If I put in the Value property
=Fields!Users.Value
and into Format property
=Format(CStr(me.Value),"#,#")
than the output is ok again.
As I understand, the Format should be same as in VB (I am actually C# programmer, not very familiar with VB) so I tried to use Format in VB on double value, and the output was as expected (e.g. 303,870), but when I used to a string I got only the style (e.g. #,#).
So I wonder, the ReportingServices Format function works correctly only with string input? But why than works the example 2)? Or do I have somewhere a mistake?
Thanks for the advice.
Strange Situation With Windows Authentication And Undocumented Function GET_SID
Dec 21, 2004SQL Server 2000
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
We recently moved our servers from one domain to another. Now, we can't grant Windows users access to any databases. We CAN create the user IDs successfully via Enterprise Manager, and get a corresponding row in MASTER..SYSXLOGINS, but can't click on the Database Access tab in the SQL Server Login Properties dialog and grant accesss to any databases. When we try to do so, we get error 15401, "Windows user or group xxx not found". The underlying call is to MASTER..SP_GRANTDBACCESS, and running that via Query Analyzer returns the same error (naturally)
Looking through the code of SP_GRANTDBACCESS, I've determined that what is failing is a call to the undocumented TSQL function GET_SID. This proc takes two parameters, the first is either G<nt group name> or U<nt user name> and the second is NULL in the call in SP_GRANTDBACCESS. If I execute
SELECT GET_SID('U<valid user>', NULL)
it returns NULL, however, if I run
SELECT SUSER_SID(<valid user>)
then I get the Windows SID of whatever valid user name I supply.
We have 3 servers in question, namely production, development and test. We noticed the problem on production. Curiously enough, development and test worked fine.
NOW THE PLOT THICKENS. If I run this query on the dev box....
SELECT SUSER_SID(<id>), GET_SID('U<id>',NULL)
...the first function returned the SID, BUT THE SECOND FUNCTION DID NOT!!! How could that be? Clearly GET_SID was working inside of SP_GRANTDBACCESS, but not as a discrete call. So I went into the master database and added code to print out the SID returned by GET_SID to the proc. Lo and behold, SP_GRANTDBACCESS promptly failed with a 15401 error. It continues to get 15401s now, even after I returned it to the original code. What gives? Now my dev box has the same error production has, and all I did was recompile SP_GRANTDBACCESS a couple of times. FWIW, I did *not* ever make any changes to SP_GRANTDBACCESS on production.
Why doesn't GET_SID() work outside of SP_GRANTDBACCESS?
Why did recompiling SP_GRANTDBACCESS break it permanently?
It almost seems like the query compiler can't correctly link a call to GET_SID to the correct function in some DLL, except I thought that the compiled code didn't survive a restart, and all TSQL procs were recompiled the first time they were called after a restart. If that's the case, then the compiler is - or at least was - producing a functioning compiled version of SP_GRANTDBACCESS after every restart.

I€™m suffering a queer behaviour when I use BIDS. Concretely, when I open a dtsx from my project (it has 10 packages) many times Sequence Container and Data Flow tasks are invisible. I mean, its lines are not visible at all whereas its titles are. I mean, what you see is just a white box€¦
Then, I€™m gonna Data Flow layer and I have to do double-clik over the tasks and are visible but on Control Flow I don€™t see how to solve.
Curiously in our development and production server such behaviour doesn€™t happen (we are accessing by mean Terminal Server from our workstations)
How odd!. Everything is fine except this.
I want to remark you that such project has been copied from the server, this is, these packages are been built on the server

Help Convert MS Access Function To MS SQL User Defined Function

Aug 2, 2006Hi,
I have table in my db thats used as a temporary table. At the end of the day it contains thousands of records which get summarized then all are deleted. I recently moved the application over to a new server with pretty much the same hardware config and noticed a big performance hit when running queries on this temp table (455 milliseconds as opposed to 1) In short, the fix was dropping the table and re-creating it.
Anybody know how this could be? I know that even if you delete records from a table, the table still seems to retain its physical size on the hard drive, could this have something to do with it?
Thanks

Strange Error
Aug 3, 2006I am using c# and ASP.NET 2 and I am getting a very strange error. I
have a field called CompanyID in SQL Server 2005, and it allows null
values in it. When this CompanyID is not NULL, ie for example it is
202, then when i press the update button it allows me to update
perfectly in the database. However if the CompanyID is NULL,
and I try to update the companyID, to lets say 202, the application
just crashes with the following message:- System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I tried to set some breakpoints in the application to debug, however it does not even pass through these breakpoints! Any ideas on what the problem can be or how I can debug?

Strange Behaviour
Oct 3, 2006This is the actual statement displayed from Response.Write in classic ASP. INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '06-012497',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'2006-Oct-3',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum = '000002' There are 4 records returned from the SELECT part of the statement. In some situations, 4 records are inserted to WOTasks table, in others, only 1 record is inserted. I can't find out why 1 record, instead of 4, record is inserted. A form page submits the form to the save page using post method. The above statement is contained in the save page. When one of the form textbox is filled, 1 record is inserted. When the textbox is not filled, 4 records are inserted. You may think the textbox has something to do with the behaviour. I also think so but the content of the textbox does not affect the sql statement. In both cases, the insert statement is the same. In the actual codes, only strings in quotes are variables and the rest are hardcoded. When I run the statement in SQL Server, 4 records are affected. No such problem when connected with Access.The actual code belowSub AddTask(ByVal proc, ByVal wonum) Dim sSQL sSQL = "INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '" & wonum & _ "',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'" & curDate & "',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum='" & proc & "'" 'Response.Write sSQL:Response.End conn.Execute sSQL, , 128 End Sub

Strange Indexes.
Feb 6, 2001We've been finding some strange indexes in our SQL 7 database. They are not indexes we put in, but seem to be system generated. They always have the format "hind_" and then a series of numbers and underscores. Most of the time they replicate indexes we already had in place. The strangest part is that in some cases they seem to be generating multiple clustered indexes on the same table. A previous question recieved an answer saying that they were statistical indexes. Could someone shed a little more light on what these are, where they came from, and how I can prevent them from coming back? Our queries usually take much longer on tables with these "rogue" indexes on them. Thanks.

Nov 29, 2005I have a SP that usually works fine (0-16 CPU time, 40 ms Duration), but from time to time the server hangs with apparently no reason. The SP has a lock timeout set to 500, so it should abort if a lock timeout error (1222) occurs but it doesn't. The Profiler reports very long execution time (over 30 sec), and because of that all other SP calls are blocked, 'cause the transaction opened by the first sp execution is not finished yet.
Any other attempts to identify other blocking queries did not show me anything suspect (sp_lock, dbcc opentran) other then the usual blocked chain. I'm starting to think about an IO bottleneck, or IO failure, that could block the disk access and cause the delay. The status of RAID 5 is healthy.
The server is used as storage system for a website (approx. 2000 concurrent users), and occasionally I noticed an ASP queue, but this strange behavior occurs even during the peak-off hours.
Any thoughts ?

Strange Results Using IN
Mar 2, 2004I received some strange results after typing the wrong column in a subselect using IN. I've been puzzling over it a while now and can't quite figure out why it is doing what it is.
Here's an example of what is happening.
use northwind
go
select * from Customers where CustomerID in
( select CustomerID from Employees where 1 = 0 )
Now, there is no customerid on the Employees table, so running the subquery alone will produce an error. However when the full query above is run, all rows in the customer table are returned.
It was my understanding that the inner querry is evaluated first, and the results used by the outer query. I'm having a hard time seeing how this query is going anywhere.
Any ideas?

By chance, I commented out all the column names and replace with ' SELECT * ', the query finished in 14 seconds. Once I replace the * with column names, it ran over 20 minutes and I had to cancel it because it doesn't seem to be returning any results. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
