Substring (Need Help) , Clue, Hint , Solution....?

Apr 10, 2002

Hi there,

I need to get back the actual characters (without trailing blanks) contained in a char(43) field.
So i tried:
- substring(fieldname,1,len(fieldname)) which yields a 43 char column
- using a variable that contains the actual length in
substring(fieldname,1,@nchar)) the same.
- tricking by concatenating the resulting string with a dummy like "" didn't
work either.
So apparently I am at a dead end.
Anybody a clue, hint or solution????
Thanks to all contributors

Query Would Run For Ever - No Clue

Oct 25, 2005

Hello fellow DBAs

I have a strange situation here. I am executing a SQL query which runs for ever till it fills up all the available temp space.

The same query runs within 1 minute in another database on another server. That database is a development database but with same records (and data).

I tried the following:

UPDATE STATISTICS
DBREINDEX
FIXED FRAGMENTATION BY RUNNING DBINDEXDEFRAG

Nothing helps... what should I do next?

Buy A Clue As To How To Iterate Sideways

Sep 14, 2007



hi
i am having a hard time with two kinds of text files that have kind of 'repeating groups' in them...i want to loop it, but dont know how.
one is a text file with a record length of 1200 bytes, but all 95601records are all on one row with no lf, cr or anything else between them, so i cannot feature how to get the forEach container to chop of a Right of claimchunk of 1200 bytes at a time, then go get the next 1200 bytes, because the items aren't stacked, they are adjacent to each other, if you see what i mean.
the other text file has a record lenght of 52 bytes with 28 bytes filler, but this file also goes 'down and across', meaning that here, there are fourteen 'rows' in the file, and they have thousands of lines too, so this one also has to consume all the columns on the row before it moves to the next row.
am i making this harder than it needs to be?
thanks for any light

SOLUTION! - VB.NET 2005 Express And SQL Server 2005 - NOT Saving Updates To DB - SOLUTION!

Nov 30, 2006

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!

-----------------------------------

The following article is bogus and confusing:

How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx

You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.

Do not copy








The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.

You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.

-----------------------------------

The above article is bogus and confusing.

This is rediculous!

This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!

Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.

--------------------------

I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.

Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.



If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.

I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.

Many thanks.



This is the exact procedure I have come up with:

NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.

NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.

Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.

Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.

Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf



Create a NEW project.

Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)

Save it.

Data | View Data Sources

Add New Data Source

select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!

Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf

Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.



To Test ----------

From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.

The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.

Save it.

1) Run the app.

Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon

Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.

YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.

Now exit the application.

2) Run the app again.

And verify there is one record already there.

Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.

NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.

*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.

Just Exit the app.

3) Again, Run the app.

Verify that the first record is still there.

Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.

Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.

Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.

As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.

Whewh!

I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.

Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.

Thanks,

When To Use The NOLOCK Hint.

Jul 20, 2005

Background:I am currently working on a mission critical web based applicationthat is accessed 24 hours a day by users from just about every timezone. We use MS SQL Server as our database and we have lots ofproblems with time-outs. We used to have lots of problems with locksuntil my management decided that we would use the WITH (NOLOCK) hinton EVERY select statement and WITH (ROWLOCK) on EVERY updatestatement. I have argued since the beginning that the NOLOCK hintshould be the exception and not the rule. Meanwhile we continue tohave problems related to time-outs.Problem:I'm the one that they call when there are time-out errors.I am a programmer first and a DBA when I have to be. I'd really liketo hear from some of you who are the opposite. I realize that thereare many factors that contribute to slow response from a databaseserver (indexes, RAM, disk speed, etc.), but what I really need tohear from an expert is whether or not using NOLOCK on **EVERY** queryin a 30GB database that has 344 tables is a bad idea.Thanks in advance,Stephen McMahonJoin Bytes!

Maintenance Plan - Back Up Database Task Fails Without Giving A Real Clue On How To Fix It.

Apr 18, 2008

Created a maintenance plan to backup my sharepoint databases.
When I execute it the following error occurs:
Execution failed. See the maintenance plan and SQL Server Agent job history logs for details:
Additional Information:
Job 'SharePointBackUp.Backup_SharePoint faild. (SqlManagerUI)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

line 1? Is that line one of the T-SQL statement? Because if that's the case then it's not because I copied and pasted the line in to a query and it executed without error.
Under SQL Agent there are no entries!
So what bloody log am I suppose to be checking?! This is very frustrating.
I then copied and pasted every sql statement in to a query and THEY all ran just fine.

What's going wrong here, and how can I correct it?

Can You Place An Exclusive Row Lock Using A Hint?

Feb 21, 2000

Hi,

Is it possible to place an exclusive row lock when running a SELECT query by using a lock hint (or otherwise).

Basically, when a select statement is run against a table I don't won't any other users to read that row until it has been updated - at some later stage.

Any suggestions on whether this is possible would be welcome.

Thanks,

Karl

Index Hint In Delete Statement?

Jul 12, 2006

According to what I see in BOL, the following should work:

delete

from dbo.tbl1 WITH (INDEX(idx_un01))

where tbl1_no = 1

Yet when I syntax check this I get:

Msg 1069, Level 15, State 1, Line 2

Index hints are only allowed in a FROM clause.

(Please ignore the fact that index hints are unnecessary / a bad idea / etc.)

Aug 7, 2007

Hi,

I want to implement the following pattern (pseudo-code follows):





[for index in x different databases, where x is rather big]


create database MyDatabase_#{index}_Temp
launch a dedicated ssis package on this database
if I detect no error, proudly rename MyDatabase_#{index}_Temp to MyDatabase_#{index}_Last_Known_Good (drop the last_known_good first if it exist)

Later on, a consolidation process collect the data in Last_Known_Good versions of the databases.

My question: what is the simpliest way to achieve the rename operation (step 3) ?

I have tried an "alter database #{old_database_name} modify name = #{new_database_name}", but it works only once: once renamed, the database keeps the old mdf and ldf filenames, and the next create database will choke on this.

I have also tried to rename the logical filenames with ALTER DATABASE XXX MODIFY FILE (NAME = YYY, NEWNAME = ZZZ) but it doesn't work either.

I'd like to avoid specifying absolute mdf and ldf filenames myself, is it possible ?

best,

Thibaut

NOLOCK Optimizer Hint On Iterator

Oct 25, 2006

An interesting discussion yesterday. One of the programmers asked about the use of the NOLOCK optimizer hint with an iterator table aka table of numbers. His comment was that this optimizer hint was not efficient. Rather than give a knee-jerk response I thought it would be better to ask. The main circumstance is that the iterator table is completely static with a fill factor of 100%. My purpose is to eliminate lock contention if I can.

Are there reasons to not use the NOLOCK hint in this case to potentially improve performance?

My God! What happens if I miss a step, or put it in a different order??? I know I can specify ORDER BY StepID, but what about a missing step? I do have "missing ranges" script, but posting questions filtered through the script process may become a full-time job in itself...What to do, what to do...

Locking Hint Problem On Multi-servers

Jul 20, 2005

Hi All,I want to lock 2 tables on 2 servers using TABLOCKXhint. These tables function as semaphores in myapplication. It means when the tables are lockedthen other users will not be able to access themand automatically they can not continue their works.I have tried using the following code, but itdoes not work. I always got the error :"Cannot specify an index or locking hint fora remote data source" on the select command.begin transelect * from server1.accounting.dbo.semtabwith (tablockx) where fprefix = '000'select * from server2.accounting.dbo.semtabwith (tablockx) where fprefix = '000'--commit tranThe error will disappear if I remove the servername, like this :select * from accounting.dbo.semtabwith (tablockx) where fprefix = '000'But, it does not meet my requirement.It only locks one table on one server(default).Please help meThanks in advanceJohn S.*** Sent via Devdex http://www.devdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Select Col42 From Tbl With (NOT INDEX (myidx)) - Hint Saying Do Not Use Possible?

Nov 28, 2007



Hello!
I would like when I compare query plans to be able to compare
2 queries where the 1. is the "normal" version and the 2. the version where I forced compiler
not to use a specific index (i don't want to force at table scan, so hint index(0) can't be used).

The only way I see how I could achieve something similar is to to drop the index and compare response time
before and after. But building index could be time consuming...

Is it possible?

select col42 from tbl;
select col42 from tbl with...

pressing CTRL+L

Greetings
Bjørn

Parent Child Relationship Column Hint?

Feb 22, 2007

I've got a dilemma which I hope someone has a solution to.

Let's say we're building a data mining model to predict aircraft reliability. In the training table we've got a column (among many others) with a unique aircraft ID, and then a column for the type (737,747) and then a column for the series (100,200,300). I.E. A 737-800 series would be "737" and "800".

There is in essence a parent-child relationship between these 2 columns. 737's should share a common set of reliability factors, and then those factors might be further defined by the series number (for instance, the 737 might have very reliable radar except for the 500 series). The series is analogous to what model year a car is. What I want to make sure doesn't happen is for the system to correlate a 747-400 and a 737-400 because they are the same series. They are totally independent if the model number is different.

My only idea was to merge the columns and have a single value "737-100". But it would seem then that the model won't have any idea that a "737-100" and "737-200" should have a lot more in common than a "737-100" because the values will be completely different.

I was hoping to find some sort of parent-child hint in the column properties but found none.

What solutions have other people tried? It sure seems that there should be an elegant solution for something like, but I'm missing it.

SqlServer 2005 + Cluster =&&> Very Slow, Any Hint ?

Apr 25, 2007

Hello

we have two SqlServer 2005 in cluster. The machines act very slow (although the CPU load is low) as soon as we achieve one of these operations:
- drop / create database
- restore database

We achieve those operations through the SqlServer Browser or via sqlcmd.
Everything else is running smoothly.

Is there any known reason on why it can be so slow ?

best regards

Thibaut

(hope this is not too OT, but could not find any cluster-specific forum).

Replication :: Ability To Use Query Hint In Transactional Filtered Articles

Jul 22, 2015

I am setting up filtered replication(tran repl) for a table that is 2+ TB in size. The filtered rows are less than 1% of total size.When I run the snapshot, sometimes it complete in 27 mins(I have already optimized the snapshot agent profile) and sometimes it runs for ever. Mostly it runs forever, so the chances of it finishing soon are really very less.I have infact created filtered index just to cater to the query in the filter i.e. on the filter predicates. The reason its flipping flopping is due to the incorrect plan that it chooses. I can force the right index and the filtered query runs just fine but. I cannot use the query hints when I am adding the filter in replication as its not allowed.

I then went ahead and created the plan guides to force the best plan. But the plan guide was not used because even if there is a single space in the actual query that replication runs in the background the plan guide will not be used(testing on plan guides has proved this). The query needs to be ditto same including whitespaces and carriage returns. I then ran profiler and found that there is a view that replication creates and executes to extract the filtered rows and BCP it. Got the text of the view and created the plan guide on it but it was still not used because sp_helptext output seems to be different than what is actually being fired by replication internally.

Further, I collected the verbose log with level 2 and tried to find out if the main query shows up there with no success.

(a) I can't use the plan guide because I do not know the exact syntax(I mean I have the query but I do not know the white spaces, carriage returns, etc) and

(b) I cannot use query hint while filtering the article.

1. I cannot afford to have downtime.
2. I cannot use backup and restore option either.

Stuck With Login Failed For User XxxxASPNET Error, Need A Hint Please

Jul 11, 2006

Hi,

I am stuck with that error when running my ASP.NET application on my production server for many weeks now and still don't have a complete solution to that problem.

I formerly posted that thread and read that other thread without success, so as I have made a few progress in delimiting the problem I am posting this new thread with the hope somebody will finally be able to help me.

To summarize:

1) I have developed an ASP.NET application,
- on a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer
- with VS studio 2005 Dev and included SQL 2005 engine
- this application works fine on the dev computer

2) I have deployed the application on a production server which is:
- a Windows 2000 SP 4 computer
- with SQL Express SP1 with Advance services installed

When I launch the prod application I have this error:
Login failed for user xxxxASPNET

I have found that I can bypass this error by doing the following:
1) manually attach my .mdf database with SQL Server Management Studio Express and specifying the field Attached as with myDatabaseName (in place of the default fullPhysicalPath/myDatabaseName.MDF) then detach it
2) change the auto generated connection string in web.config file from
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|myDatabaseName.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
To
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|myDatabaseName.mdf;User ID=sa;Password=mySAPassword;database=myDatabaseName" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

That would have been an acceptable substitution solution but unfortunately my
application also uses the new Login and Webparts features of VS 2005 which implies the automatic creation of an ASPNETDB.MDF database by VS.
As I have no mean (or at least don't know how) of modifying the associated Connection String for that database (it does not appear in web.config) I cannot bypass the problem for it and thus the error still appears when the application try to use this database.

Please I really need help on this matter, I can provide any other useful information as needed (logs, sources ...)

Fishing For A Clue. To Loop Or Not To Loop

Jul 8, 2006

I have a table called Tbltimes in an access database that consists of the following fields:

empnum, empname, Tin, Tout, Thrs

what I would like to do is populate a grid view the a select statement that does the following.

display each empname and empnum in a gridview returning only unique values. this part is easy enough. in addition to these values i would also like to count up all the Thrs for each empname and display that sum in the gridview as well. Below is a little better picture of what I€™m trying to accomplish.

Tbltimes

|empnum | empname | Tin | Tout | Thrs |

| 1 | john | 2:00PM | 3:00PM |1hr |

| 1 | john | 2:00PM | 3:00PM | 1hr |

| 2 | joe | 1:00PM | 6:00PM | 5hr |

GridView1

| 1 | John | 2hrs |

| 2 | Joe | 5hrs |

im using VWD 2005 for this project and im at a loss as to how to accomplish these results. if someone could just point me in the right direction i could find some material and do the reading.
