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?
View 6 RepliesHi,
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.
Does anyone know how to work it out?
Thanks in advance.

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,
[Code] .....
its possible to check what the first node is before loading an XML file. The file name is just a combination of random numbers e.g. TMP_18028423.XML there's no way of knowing what it contains I need to check before loading into a table. Then I'll process the data from the temp table. i need to check if the first node is <Departments> then load the file that contains departments.
Here's the script I'm using to load the File:
CREATE PROCEDURE JobDepartmentXMLImport
@FileName varchar(256)
AS
BEGIN
--Create temp table
CREATE TABLE #TempDepartment(
[DepartmentName] nvarchar(64) NULL,
[code]....
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 - 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!
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to go back 1 record?
I know how to go forward 1 record:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM MyTable
WHERE [id] > 27
ORDER BY [id]
This will select the record with the id 28, if id 28 does not exist, then it will select the next available id.
however, then I try:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM MyTable
WHERE [id] < 27
ORDER BY [id]
It goes to the very first record in the table, becuase it selecting the TOP 1 record, How do I only go back 1 record, eg. id 26.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hi,
DECLARE MyCursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR Select statement
it seems I could not use INSENSITIVE in this cursor declaration, how can I accomplish that?
Is it possible to change this option once SQL Server has been installed or is it only available to be set when installing ?
thanks
Sqlserver is case insensitive in this way ?for example:select....where col1 like '%BURG%'will return 'Burger King' ???!!!

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?
Thanks in advance.
im having trouble getting this to work:
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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:

I'm having a problem with a SQL Query.
I have a table with names and some of the first names
have accents. e.g. Jose. Now Jose has a access over the
"e" in the database. How can I perform an access insentitive
query to the database so if I type "Jose" without the accent over
the "e" would return "Jose" with the accent over the "e".
Thanks in advance.

After all the pain I've been going through with code pages and collation, I was asked how, when sql server does it's joins and predicate searches, how does it actual (internals now) know the an "A" = "a" in an insensitive search?
I didn't have the answer.
Damn, Now I really have to pick up Kelans book.
Is there an easy way to get the Lookup component to ignore case?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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

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>:

Hi,I am trying to concoct a query that will join rows on the basis of awhitespace insensitive comparison. For instance if one row has the value'a<space>b' and another has the value 'a<space><space>b' I want them to beconsidered equal (but not the same as 'ab')I am happy to do some T-SQL if that helps. Also I have a full-text index onthe column in question, but note that I am comparing rows against eachother, not to a fixed string.This is for a one-off job, so if there is no obvious way to do it on thedatabase, I will just bcp out the data and knock up some perl or somethingto do it. All other things being equal I would rather do it on the databasethough.Many thanksAndy
View 11 Replies View RelatedWe have an in-house set of databases created by a member of staff who left the organisation in circumstances that mean he will not respond to queries relating to his work here. The programs he produced whilst in our employ are compiled and we have no access to the code, or the tools that he used (don't ask).
The programs allow the user to limit views based on various fields, but not the most useful field, a "memo" type field containing a textual description of work requests.
I only have Delphi 7 to use for the program development and have been using ADO, but my problem is I need to perform a case-insensitive search of a varchar(max) column based on text entered by user, but have been unsuccessful using LIKE and UPPER (which it appears you cannot use with a varchar).
Can anyone provide suggestions for what I am sure is a rather mundane and easy task for all of you.
Please note that I have only the Delphi, and no direct access to the SQL management tools.

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?

Hello Experts,
I tried to retreive an input column using GetVirtualInputColumnByName, to map it with output, it gave error. I found that it is because the value passed bstrName parameter was in different case. say for example in the column it is "ColNo1" where as in the GetVirtualInputColumnByName i used "Colno1".
Can anyone tell, Is there anyway to find the column in a case in-sensitive way?
Thanks.

Hi!
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 :
PROVIDER=SQLNCLI.1;Server=ServerA,1433;Failover Partner=ServerB,1433;Database=MYDBNAME;Network=dbmssocn;Integrated Security=SSPI;
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

Hi
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
Any help would be appreciated.
