Ok, so this thread has been raised from here (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?p=6283113#post6283113)...
Basically if I run this query
SELECT TOP 1 birth_date FROM people ORDER BY birth_date
--I get this
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '1'.
Has anyone ever come across this problem before?
I'm running SQL Server 2000
~George
Simplest, fastest way to copy 7 tables from as400 to SS2K weekly. Any idea?
I have a as400 server and 2 SS.
as400
SSbox1: db1 and db2 (two databases)
SSbox2: db2 (one database called db2)
SSbox1: db1 is getting data from as400 then sending it into db2 daily.
SSbox2: DTS is copying everything from SSbox1.db2 into SSbox2.db2 weekly.
I wanna simplify process from SSbox2. Maybe a linked server from SSbox2.db2 to SSbox1.db2?
let me know if you don't understand.

Hi all,
I face a problem as follows: We have an application runnig on SS2K.We log every delete of
documents(from Archive table) in another table.Now it seems some of the rows have deleted strangely
without any delete log by our application.We assumed there is somebody who has direct access to
database and delete them manually(obviousely our app does not generate any log in this situation)But
there is no people.We check that with admins many times.
Does SQL Server itself deletes rows for any reason? How can I know what is happening?Do you think
our app flaws somewhere?
Thanks a lot for your attention.

Morning,
Here is my scenario:
I have a SQL Server 2000 server with 10 clients.
Each client has 5 Full-Text Catalogs. For ease of explanation let€™s call the FTCs C1 thru C5.
Now each client€™s FTCs are named the SAME. So each client has FTCs named C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.
I need to move the clients to our new SQL Server 2005 Enterprise server.
I can backup up the DB using the native SQL Server 2000 backup command but that of course does not back up the FTCs.
So once I restore the client DB over to the new SS2K5 server, how do I re-enable the FTCs and rebuild them so that they are the same as what was over on the SS2K server.
Also, after the first client is complete, will I run into a duplicate FTC error when I try to recreate the subsequent clients on the server since they all have the same named FTCs?
If so, how do I overcome this event?
Thanks for any and all help!
Hi all,
I have seen in documents that I can install SS2K on a machine without network domain connection using a domain account.It said that domain accounts are prefered according to some reasons and it is not limited to machines on a domain so you should do it on a single PC.
I tried this during installation and entered many different things but no chance:
<OS_account>
<machine_name>/<OS_account>
...
Would you please telling me what should I enter as service starter account if I want to use domain users?
-Thanks in advance
Is it possible to create a Pull Subscription on a named instance in SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition? When I try, I get an error message 14234 saying that it can't find the value '@server'. Its hint is to look for the server in sp_helpserver. When I go to QA and connect to that named instance and run sp_helpserver, I see it there.
Sincerely,
I am running SQL 2005, and I do not have SQL 2000.
My client has SQL 2000, but not SQL 2005.
I have a database in SQL 2005 that I need to provide to my client in a form that can be attached or restored to SQL 2000.
How can this be done? It has me, admittedly an SSIS novice, stumped.
TIA,
Mark Schreiner
I am relatively new to SQL-Server. I was working in a company that used SS2005. Now I am with a company and client where SS2K is my only option. I know SS2005 had Analysis Services which allowed building hypercubes but I never got the chance to learn about it or use it. I am not that familiar with what SS2K has.
I have no access to any OLAP tools. I have MS-Access and MS-Excel. My SQL-Server database has to crunch a table with thousands of rows.
Having worked with MS-Access and MS-Excel for a long time, I know how powerful creating a pivot table is. I heard that SQL2005 had a T-SQL PIVOT function but never had the opportunity to use it.
Know I have the need to do this in SQL2000.
I have a lot of data so the method shown in BOL for cross-tab won't help me. The client changes the "column" and "header" categories on a regular basis, so I need something that will allow me to NOT hard code them but choose them dynamically like one would do in a hypercube.
I have more than 5 categories for "row headers". I have currency for the data to aggregate. I have "pay periods" (26 of them) for my "column" headers, but not all 26 will be present until Dec 31, so that part has to be dynamic.
Question:
Is there any feature in the standard S2K that allows one to create anything like a pivot table without massive coding (T-SQL function or technique or something like a hypercube ability)?
Can you point me to something on the web that would explain how to get started?
Many thanks ahead of time from a newbie!
hi
I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.
I am writing a pgm that attaches to a SQL Server database. I have an Add stored procedure and an Update stored procedure. The two are almost identical, except for a couple parameters. However, the Add function works and the Update does not. Can anyone see why? I can't seem to find what the problem is...
This was my test:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Update", cn)
'Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Add", cn)
Try
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserId", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = UserId
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
[...etc more parameters...]
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ContactId
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Label1.Text = "done"
cn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
End Try
When I use the Add procedure, a record is added correctly and I receive the "done" message. When I use the Update procedure, the record is not updated, but I still receive the "done" message.
I have looked at the stored procedures and the syntax is correct according to SQL Server.
Please I would appreciate any advice...
Original suggestion for my problem was - Select * from TableA where ID not in ( Select ID from TableB)
When I run the query below using the IN operator I get 227 records returned but when I use NOT IN I get zero records when I expect well over 10,000. What am I missing?
using SQL 2000 server
SELECT LinksInfo.L_ID, LinksInfo.C_ID, Companies.C_CompanyName, Companies.C_Email, Companies.C_CompanyEmailFROM LinksInfo INNER JOIN Companies ON LinksInfo.C_ID = Companies.C_IDWHERE (LinksInfo.L_ID IN (SELECT ZL_ID FROM Location_Zip))
ZL_ID is not a primary key in Location_Zip
Hello again,
I think im missing something here, i just cant find out what it is.
I have a temp table:
CREATE TABLE #tempSearch(tempID BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,username NVARCHAR(20) COLLATE Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS,lastlogin DATETIME,signupdate DATETIME)
Now i am trying to retrieve some data for each user that is inside this tempSearch list and have an id over xxx (xxx = the value of the parameter @first_id):
SELECT @sql = 'SELECT profile_publicinfo.username, profile_publicinfo.gender, profile_publicinfo.signupdate, profile_profilephoto.imageurl, profile_profilephoto.alttext, settings_username.color, profile_publicinfo.lastloginFROM #tempSearch INNER JOIN dbo.profile_publicinfo ON profile_publicinfo.username = #tempSearch.usernameINNER JOIN dbo.settings_privateinfo ON settings_privateinfo.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameFULL OUTER JOIN dbo.profile_coolfacts ON profile_coolfacts.username = profile_publicinfo.username FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.profile_profilephoto ON profile_profilephoto.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameFULL OUTER JOIN dbo.settings_username ON settings_username.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameWHERE (profile_publicinfo.username IN (SELECT username FROM #tempSearch))AND #tempSearch.tempID >= @first_id'
SELECT @paramlist = '@first_id int'EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @first_id
I need to get the tempID from the tempSearch table in order to compare it with @first_id
When i run this i get the same username repeated like 30 times then it moves over to the next, when i debug the #tempSearch it looks fine, just the users that are suppose to be there.

To generate tables in the database using the following xml schema...
(file: xsd.xsd...)
My problems is that it doesn't generate the tables and I am following the SQLXML2.0 documentation as closely as possible.
Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to generate the tables? Running it doesn't even produce an error.

Hi,
I am on a box with 4 GB of memory that only runs SQL Server. SQL Server is using 1.7 GB as per task manager. There are a lot of databases on this box. I looked at the boot.ini and /3GB was not set. I have done this at least 50 times before: turn on the /3GB switch and SQL Server will use up to 2.7 GB per task manager. (I know it is actually 2GB and 3GB but it seems that in task manager it shows up as 1.7-1.8 and 2.7-2.8)
Anyway back to the story. So I set /3GB, rebooted the server and SQL Server still only consumes up to 1.7GB. I realize that SQL Server might not actually need more memory, but I have a distinct feeling that it wants more but is being constrained; that is, the the /3GB switch is not working. More relevant information:
1) the boot.ini line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect /3GB
2) max server memory (MB) = 3000
3) min server memory (MB) = 3000
4) awe enabled = 0
5) @@version = 8.00.2039 which is SQL Server 2000 SP4
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

hi..why this SP is not working that giving me error like

my one of the developer used this every where... what should i do if i dont wanna to change any of the code...i wanna some how work this SP...
create proc test_E

select * from @table
if (select * from @table where substring(ad_str1, 1, 1) like '[0-9]'))
print 'address starts with a number'
else
print 'address starts with a letter'
i want to write a code that prints a msg if the string starts with a number else print another msg.
In SQL2000 Enterprise manager, there is always an indication of WHICH server & database an object is opened from when it has focus.
So when I'm working on the same table in test and production servers I can tell at a glance what it belongs to.
I cannot seem to duplicate this in any way in SQL Manager 2005 Express which could lead to all sorts of trouble and really slows me down.
Have I missed something really simple in setup or use of the product?
TIA,
Richard

How can I verify that AWE is actually working? The server is SQL 2000EE on W2KAS with the /pae switch.I've allocated 5000Mb (5Gb) for SQL but Performance monitor says theworking set for the sqlservr process is only 91Mb (it started out ataround 87Mb a couple of days ago and seems to be creeping up)."committed bytes" for the server is about 5.6 Gb out of ~6Gb so there'sa whole pile of memory going somewhere.The error log says "Address Windowing Extensions enabled" (sp_configindicates a "1" for this as well). The "max server memory" item says5000 Mb for its "running" value so within the SQL Server things appearto be correct.The server does seem to be performing better but it's hard to decide ifthat's because of AWE or just the fact that it was rebooted (it hadn'tbeen in a while).- Martin
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've built an application that relies pretty heavily on XML to enableflexible creation of data entry forms and storage of the data enteredinto those forms. Currently, it stores data as an XML document in anntext field. This is great because it allows me a great deal offlexibility in creating fields. However, I need to implement searchingand sorting of that data and I don't know how to do this in an efficientmanner.Currently the data is stored in a format similar to this:<form><fieldname>fieldvalue</fieldname><listfieldname><items><item><label>displaytext</label><value>itemvalue</label></item></items></listfieldname></form>Is there any way to perform searches on data like this, i.e. to searchthe "fieldvalue" in <fieldname> or "itemvalue" in <value>?If there isn't a way to do this, I'm willing to re-structure thedatabast architecture, though the solution would still need to allow thesame kind of flexibility that the XML solution does.Any ideas?Thanks,Kelly
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
This is a question related to AWE settings. I am on windows 2003 ent version with SQL Server 2005 std version. I have configured SQL Server to use AWE and min memery as 22G and max as 26G (I have 32G in total as physical memory). I do see the message in log as "Windows Address ... Enabled", but when I am using performance monitor to view total memory in kb for SQL Server, it never starts at 22G (usually at 1G). And I doubt why? The account I am running SQL Server is an admin account, so it can definitely locked down the pages in memory. Also, I do think AWE is working somehow, after several hours in running, the total memory will up to 8, 9 or 11G. So, apparently, it is over 2G per process limitation. I still want to know.
1. Is my AWE setting working?
2. If not, how to fix that?
3. How to confirm how many memory is actaully using by SQL Server?
Thanks,

I have a source table in which one of column is numeric data type. I have to do a lookup for this column to a table column which is float data type. So I change this float data type to numeric by convert function. You when I execute the package, if I use data viewer I always see that look up column value is always null. Can any one give me some suggestion please?
Thanks...

Hello All, I am probably doing something small with my query that is causing me pain, but somehow the query is acting funky. What I am trying to do is do a search statement to find documents from a table. But the catch is it is taking three parameters. The searchString, Type and the Location (where the user who is searching belongs to). When I run my query I get all documents where the location and type is correct. But the searchstring does not even work.For example: Lets say I have 3 documents for a LocationID of '2' and the Type for all documents is '0'. Now imagine that the name of the documents as follow: Doc1 = a , Doc2 = b, Doc3 = c. So now a user wants to search for all docs that starts with 'a'. Remember, Loc ID = '2' and Type = '0'. The result of the query should be Doc1 and only Doc1. But somehow I am getting all three Docs b/c they belong and are the type of the give parameters. Any help would be greatfull. Query:
SELECT Client.FirstName, Client.LastName, Client.MiddleName, Client.LocID, ClientDocuments.DocID, ClientDocuments.DirName, ClientDocuments.LeafName, ClientDocuments.Type, ClientDocuments.CreatedByUser, ClientDocuments.CreatedDate FROM Client INNER JOIN ClientDocuments ON Client.ClientID = ClientDocuments.ClientID WHERE ClientDocuments.Type = '0' AND Client.LocID = '3' AND ([ClientDocuments.LeafName] LIKE '%' + @SR + '%' OR [Client.SSN] LIKE '%' + @SR + '%' OR [Client.LastName] LIKE '%' + @SR + '%' OR [Client.FirstName] LIKE '%' + @SR + '%' OR [Client.MiddleName] LIKE '%' + @SR + '%' )
I've gotten spoiled with all these query builders. Now in SQL server management studio express its gone. I don't understand whats wrong with their query....any help would be appreciated.
