Many HUGE Thanks to the person who knows how to do this.
Problem: My goal is to take a single data row (myDataRow) from some table (MyTable) and then retrieve every single associated record throughout the database that is related to that datarow. This requires me to first find out what tables are related to the starting table and then recursively pull all of the associated records until I get all of the records associated. Sounds simple right?
The following code only pulls back only those tables that have a child table
with an associated foreign key (i.e. a 1 -> many):
Select [Name] from sysobjects where xtype='U' and Id in(
select fkeyid from sysforeignkeys where rkeyid=
(Select Id from sysobjects where Name='<TableName>'))
order by name
But this query does not work backwards where I start with a child table
and want to know the parents (i.e. many->1 relationship)
Anybody have a clue how to retrieve these parent related tables when starting with a child table? I know it can be done because SQL Server Management lets you select a table (child OR parent) and retrieve the related table(s).
Thank you for any direction you can suggest!
Best Wishes to All

I am pretty good at T-SQL as a .NET Application Developer, but now I need to take my skills of writing queries to the next level: the level required for Database Developers. I am sick and tired of writing simple inner join's with a couple of where's.
I have a few books ("SQL Server 2000 Bible" and "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL"), and Books Online are always available, so I have no problems with finding the answers.
The problem is not with looking for answers, but with finding questions...
Could someone please recommend me some source of good SQL-related questions, which would require writing complex queries (not just a few inner joins)?
A book (perhaps, some university's textbook with lots of advanced exercises for DB developers) would be the best option.
I am looking for some source of mind-breaking questions for database developers. I am really not sure I can solve them right away, but that's the goal. :-)
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I am looking for a tool that is similar to SQL Impact (Quest). Quest has discontinued the tool.
This tool should be able to detect all database object dependencies for SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle. The objects should include tables, views, stored procedures, indexes and other objects. This should also detect DB object dependencies in front end applications as well.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Thanks!

I've been having Spotlight from Quest Software in the back of my mind for quite some time now, and now I just started in a new job where something like this could prove to be really handy. And from the looks of it it seems to be quite impressive but have any of you guys used it? What do you think?

Hello all,
I've been struggling with an interesting problem. I currently have a solution but it is very slow.
I will be cycling data through a table. Each cycle has 1 million records with 60 fields. One procedure I need to perform on this data is a character cleanse. I have a list of 12 characters that need to be removed.
Right now I have a stored procedure that pulls the characters from a table one at a time. It feeds it to a nested loop that replaces the character with nothing ('') on records that contain the character (something like "update tbl1 set FIELD = replace(FIELD, '&', '') where Field like '%&%'"). This works... but seems rather inefficient. It can take 10 minutes to do a 250,000 record table.
I have tried borrowing regular expressions from VBscript using com objects, it worked and seemed more efficient at first but then I threw a large file at it and it took a half hour to complete.
Im running SQL 2005 on a dual Xeon 3.4 box with 2 gb of ram.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
~~~Thanks~~

I am looking for some T_SQL code that would help us eliminateduplicate data entry into our mailing db. Finding and removing theexisting dups is not rocket science, but I am looking for a completesolution.We also want to be able to come up with a T-SQL script to beintelligent enough to know if:"Bill Jones" is the same as "Billy Jones" or"Bill Jones" is the same as "William Jones" or"Bill Jones at 123 My street" is the same as "Bill Jones at 123 MySt."Purchasing scripts from a company is not out of the question. Its amatter of script cost versus my hourly rate to create them... Needlessto say, something cheap.We have only heard of one app that is dynamic enough to handle this,and the cost was way, way out of our range, 6 figures is almost 2years salary.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We can use rs.exe to publish a report automatically, but how do we do the reverse - remove a report automatically?
Is there a way by using a MS utility?
Is there a way by writing code, using library objects?
Part of the problem we face is having servers with RS all set up with a particular connection string and published reports. We then want to change everything and we want to do it automatically.

I have a situation where my client wants to ensure that data which is removed from a SQL Server database is truly removed. That is, if I delete a record, or delete data from a row, can I be sure that the data is truly gone and that it's not just the internal B-Tree pointers that were removed? Can I trust that someone with access to the .mdb file could not perform some binary pattern matching on the file and find the data that I assumed was deleted (regardless of how difficult that task would be)? I'm using SQL Server 2000. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ive got a server which replicates an awful lot of constantly changing data - the db itself could be around 2gb in size, however with the replication data in it it has ballooned to 6gb. On top of this, there is all the data in the D:MSSQLREPLDATAunc directories which seem to represent another log of some description.
Can I delete this data? I cant see what it would be used for and it totals some 25Gb! Obviously I cannot have this lying around on my server.
Does anyone know what it is used for?
thanks

I currently have a lot of XML blobs being stored in several of the production databases that I look after. They're there as a application "logging" feature, so that the developers can investigate issues if they ever occur.
I want to get these out of my OLTP databases asap and am currently looking at options. I know Brent Ozar recently posted an article about Content Addressable Storage systems [URL] ....
How do you handle point in time recovery? Any other ways of storing this data?

Hi,
is there a way to ensure a merge subscription is synchronised before it is removed from the publisher using SMO? - (it is a push subscription)
I thought I had it as there is a MergeSynchronizationAgent object on the SubscriptionDatabase object, but calling Synchronize() on this throws an exception saying it can't contact the publisher.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

I created a setup package and installed it on my SQL2005 server. I cant seem to find anywhere on the server where they are installed, but I can access them from the Job schedule tool, which work for me.
However, now I have to upgrade the deployed SSIS and I cant seem to install on top of an existing one (gave me no errors but after testing it i realized it is still running the old version.)
My questions are:
1) How can I find and delete these SSIS packages from the server?
2) How can I just upgrade for a new version of a SSIS package?
I need to be able to do both things as at some point I may want to just remove some packages.

Hello,
We needed to detach a database that contained a target ServiceBroker service and wanted to do this without impacting the rest of our system. The idea was the ServiceBroker would enqueue message to this service to be pickedup when the database was re-attached. Our sequence to do this was:
1. Disable the queue on the target service forcing ServiceBroker to queue in the initating side transmission queue.
2. Detach the database.
3. Re-attach the database.
4. Re-enable the queue
Messages sent to the service have a specified LIFETIME. What appeared to happen was that messages were being stored in the transmission queue as expected but on hiting the LIFETIME period they were being removed from the transmission queue and were therfore "lost".
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone suggest what we are doing wrong.
Incidentally, beaware that detaching a database will disable ServiceBroker in that database when it is re-attached - we discovered that one the hard way :-)
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

I am working with one of the production database around 200 GB. This database has above 350 tables and more than 500 Indexes. I am feeling the database has so many Indexes than the required ones
When I run the below query, it gives me some indexes read value "0". The server was restarted a month ago.Is it ok to remove those indexes?
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(s.[object_id]) AS [Table Name] ,
i.name AS [Index Name] ,

We have a N+1 SQL 2005 x65 SP2 + 3159 cluster which was running fine until the service account which runs Windows cluster and the SQL services was removed as a login from SQL. This was a new setup so the only SQL accounts are (SA) as SA, Windows Domain GROUP's which one group is configured as SA and the cluster account is added to this group. I cannot start SQL service on the cluster now. I've tried logging into one node as the service account which is member of a AD group which has SA rights to SQL as well as my personal account. If anyone knows a way ot fix this without reinstalling I'd appreciate your help.

Hello...
I am going crazy trying to figure out how to do this. I have a flat file which I am massaging the data and loading into a table here is an example of a line out of the flat file:
"ABC NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS","550","","","N","FAIR OAKS","","","COLORADO SPRINGS","C0","","","","","","","","A","","",""
My problem is that I have one field which is this address in a concatinated form. The fields that do not apply to this entry are suite#, floor# and other columns which are designated by the "" characters. The final concatinated addres field looks like this:
"550""""N""FAIR OAKS"""
I would like to remove the "" characters in the concatinated string. I just don't know the best way to do this? I was told DTS had a way of removing the "" from the flat file source. Since I have not used DTS extensively I am not sure if this is true. I was wondering how in SSIS I could go about removing the "" marks without removing the "" say if someone is quoted eg. John said "This is only a test". Removing the quotation marks in this instance would be changing the data. I am not sure how to do this and any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you...

I've done already the schemas for all the tables a you suggested.But when I created a new table the dbo prefix (dbo.ADM.NewTable) appears.I'd like this dbo not to automatically appear whenever i created a new table — as it requires me to alter whenever I created a new table.Is this something that is required to determine the creator of the table?Otherwise, I'd like that to remove.

Hi thanks for looking at my question
Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID])
REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch"
CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch](
[BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BranchGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID])
REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €œEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €œBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €œbranch€? and €œEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €œON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks

I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?

I have been researching on the proper steps or sequence to follow to completely remove SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication. Â I have read articles about using SSMS as well as using replication stored procedures and some procedures use SQLCMD or just regular TSQL executed in SSMS. Â I have also read articles where people said all you really need is connect to the Publisher instance, find the publication you want to remove and choose "Delete" and everything will be taken care of behind the scene. I have three SQL servers that participate in transactional replication. Â SQL-P (publisher),Â
SQL-D (distributor) and SQL-S (subscriber). Â Do I need to connect to the distributor instance and the subscriber instance when removing transactional replication or is it just really connecting to the publisher and click delete on the publication? I want everything gone including any metadata, systems tables, distributions db and any other replication objects created during the initial configuration.

Hi,
Is there a format function in MDX which will help me solve the following
scenario:
One of my measures is Net Sales and I have tried all different formats
in Analysis Services so that it shows without the decimal places i.e.
instead of showing the Net Sales for any selected combination of
Dimensions as 123,456.04, I want to show it as 123,456
When I browse the cube (in Analysis Services), I can meet my
requirement. However, in my front-end (Microsoft Data Analyzer), I am
still getting it as 123,456.04 (even when the same in Analysis services,
i.e. when I browse the cube, is being shown as 123,456).
I do not have much choice at the moment and am stuck with Microsoft Data
Analyzer and unfortunately have not been able to solve this :(
Can someone think of a solution/workaround/use of MDX which will help me
get the results being displayed without the decimal. Is there a format function that I can use in MDX and how to use it???
Many TIA

I've been working on a performance review web application (i.e., employee's annual reviews done via the web). In the process of creating the application I've been teaching myself .NET - maybe not the best way to do it but I've been learning a lot. However, I still feel like I'm not doing something right.On each Page_Load I'm doing database work with a data reader: Reading the data in, displaying it, letting the user add, edit, or delete it, etc. So every Page_Load code behind looks like this: string sql = "SELECT UserID, Passwd, RecID, Name FROM UserList";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection("Server=BART; Database=WSSD; User ID=sa; Password=wss1231");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, myConn);
SqlDataReader dr;
myConn.Open();
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); And so forth and so on. Now since I re-use this code again and again - I imagine it's a good idea to implement my connection code in a class that I can re-use easily. But I have no idea where to start on something like that. What can I say? I'm a newb. A push in the right direction would be great.

Hi,
I made a DTS which appends data coming infrom a view to an exisiting table.So far no problem and all goes well.
I am facing a problem due to the format of the date that is coming in (getting appended) and while going through BOL, came across the following topic:
mk:@MSITStore:C:Program%20FilesMicrosoft%20SQL%2 0Server80ToolsBookshowtosql.chm::/ht_dts_trns_97ou.htm
I tired the above tips but it appears that if I try to do this in my DTS (which appends data),the logic of the DTS will change. A single arrow also gets added whichI think represents a simple mapping/transformation rather than a append. To clarify my point, please note the attached image which represents that the data is being appended (due to the many sided arrows pointing to the source and destination - visible under the Transformations tab of my DTS).
Sincerely hoping that my post is clear, can someone help me find how to make changes in a DTS (which appends data) and ensuring that thelogic remains the same i.e. it should append data.
Many TIA
