Table Options
Aug 14, 2007
Hi all,
This follows on from a query I had a few days back (and for which I was promptly flamed! However, I've got skin like a rhinoseros, so here goes...)
I have a table - ProjectSite - that is pulling information from a two tables (Project and Site). This table contains data regarding which sites are part of which project.
I now want a means of reporting dates against this. The problem is that each project has bespoke milestone dates, so I can't just create columns in ProjectSite. The only solution I can see is to pull each project (and there's quite a few and its corresponding sites into a new table) and then I can create my bespoke columns.
Does this sound like the best viable option, or can anyone suggest another means of doing this?
TIA,
SamuelT

As an example, I am building an authentication mechanisim that will usedata in the 3 left tables to determine rights to objects in adestination table, diagrammed below. In this structure, multiplerecords in the left tables will point to multiple records in the righttable. Normally, I would approach this problem using junction tables(LeftID, RightID) to create many-to-many joins.However, given the structure of each table is nearly identical (as faras the linking IDs are concerned), I could also use a single junctiontable with columns for each available table ID (LeftID1, LeftID2,LeftID3, RightID). In this table, only two IDs would be utilized perrow (LeftIDx -> RightID).In both designs, the needed rights information is returned from fairlysimple views, thus the end result is equivalent. The advantage to thesecond, multi-ID junction table design, is a simpler databasestructure. However, never using this approach before, I am unsure ofthe potential future performance impacts.Any significant downsides to this second design? Examples of anabbreviated structure follow:Data Tables-----------LeftTable1LeftID1 (int)Data1LeftTable2LeftID2 (int)Data2LeftTable3LeftID3 (int)Data3DestinationTableRightID (int)DataLinking tables option 1-----------------------JunctionTable1LeftID1RightIDJunctionTable2LeftID3RightIDJunctionTable3LeftID3RightIDLinking table option 2----------------------JunctionID1 (int)ID2 (int)ID3 (int)DestinationID (int)

I have a view which select some few columns from multiple tables with where clause and have 5 unions of different category of data.
For the best performance i need to change this to physical table or any other options which can increase my performance.

Why am I getting message "A valid table name is required for in, out, or format options."
I used the syntax from a tutorial about bcp utility. I am trying to create a format file for flat file import and export.
My server instance is "stat-hpsqlexpress"
The database name is "STATRLO"
Owner is "dbo"
Table name is "PM-allactivity-emaillog_042315"
The bcp comand I am trying to run is:

In the notification tab of job properties, I can see three options in the drop down list at the right hand side.
When the job succeeds
When the job fails
When the job completes
In which system table these options are saved ? Is it possible to add a custom option in that dropdown list.

Hi ,
I could do with a couple of pointers to the best options to acheive my goal, I'm pretty close with the way I've done it, but I feel there is a more elegant solution out their so your help would be most appreciated.
The problem is finding the best way of moving some SQL Server 2000 changed data into sql server 2005. We are only interested in some tables in 2000 (and sometimes just subsets of those). Because there are quite a few tables and the we want to set up a schedule to run periodically, we chose SSIS. The main reason for this is to utilise a for each loop that pulls each tables name from a one column staging table of table names. (that way we can do more or less comparisons by simply adding and removing from the staging table) Also in this loop, using the table name as a variable, we run an exec sql task along the lines of 'SELECT * from varTable EXCEPT SELECT * from varTable_tracker' which gives us the difference beteween the two tables (where the tracker table is a copy of the data table which is sychronised at the end of the job run). So far so good. Now the tricky bit, EXCEPT only works under 2005, the tables are in 2000 so we ended up having a linked server in 2005 back to the 2000 table. Is there a way of acheiving the same result without involving the linked server - or is there a task (script?) we can run to verify the linked server is up before we excecute the job -we already run checks on Connection Managers to see if they are up but never tried linked servers? Lastly, will performance be an issue
Thanks

An automatic monthly delete has recently grown from 15 to 20 million rows. It is now filling my 70GB T-Log completly. I don't have any space to expand the T-Log. Do I have any options other than reducing the number of rows in the delete?

hey guys, i need your help please.
here is the scenario:
1. I need to return a data back to client (result set varies 20-10,000)
2. I only want to show 20 records at a time
3. To get info i need to display i need to join 10 tables
When there are small #s of records it works but when i get over 8000 then it becomes a problem:
1. The first version was:
Get all data using big query and return everything back to client and display only 20 at a time (not very proficient).
Takes around 15 seconds to view 20 records.
2. Inspired by 4GuysFromRolla (http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/062899-1.shtml)
Use Stored Procedure w/ server side paging logic to get 20 records at the time. I had to pass every filter parameter and stuff. SP had to sort resultset and return only 20 records i need to display.
Takes around 5 seconds to view 20 records.
I still think it's slow, i know this is a very broad question but is there any other way to do it, logically?
Any help is appreciated.
Wojo.

Hi folks, Recently i've installed a fresh Installation of Opertaing Sys and SQL.
Win 2000 server, sp4
SQl 2000 Enterprise, sp3.
I am using Domain user service startup for sql and is member of domain admin. I've manually added the user in Local-Admin group of the system. Obviously it's also has Sys-Admin server roles.
The problem is; when i use enterprise manager and change any of the server settings; Priority Boost or Fix Memory Allocation for the Sql server, nothing happens, the options dialog box closes and doesn't ask for restarting the server neither does the settings take effect when i restart SQL.
However if i change the settings using sp_configure using the same user; it works. i've assigned a fixed memory to SQL but the option "Reserver Physical Memory For SQL" won't work. Couldn't find this option in SP_Configure.
Any ideas, what has gone wrong.

Hello all,
I am considering the different options for package deployment on the server.
Until now, I have found several different ways to deploy packages to the server (File System):
Using the Import option from the Management Studio (only one by one)
Using the Deployment Utility (Needs building the whole project. Opens all the packages in debugging mode, cannot deploy to different folders)
Using the dtutil by constructing a command line for each package deployment. (complicated)
Simply copying the files from the local project folder to the "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages" folder on the server.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for deployment?
The 4th seems to be the easiest one, but I seen anybody suggesting such an action. What's the downside of such an action?
Thanks,
Liran

I hoipe someone can point me in the right direction here.
I have an application with the following requirements (using SQL CE 2 alas)
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. Using rda, I need to get the modifications to these tables from the server (add/edit/delete) but the handheld will never update these tables.
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. The handheld needs to add/edit existing records, and it needs to get any changes from the server.
A set of tables on the server where the handheld needs to import a subset of the records. It needs to add (but not edit) new records, upload the new records to the server, and download any changed (add/edit/delete) records to the handheld.
What tracking options should I use in these 3 cases?
The problem comes in that I need to have some foreign key relationships in the database on the handheld. Since rda munges the names of primary keys (and indexes), I do not know of a good way to add these foreign key constraints. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello all. I am currently doing some research into options for
setting up reporting. Right now we have a server on EE that's
getting hit a bit too hard by the reports. The budget is
currently a bit low, but we already have a second server
purchased.
For our reporting, we need data that is up to date within the last 15
minutes (less if possible). Because of the potential size of some
of our transactions, I've ruled out log shipping as being too much
downtime of the reporting data while the second server is catching up
to speed. So, I'm trying to figure out what reporting options I
have left open to me.
1) I understand that for reporting purposes, a snapshot must be taken
of the mirrored server. Why are reports not able to run directly
off the mirror live (or am I mistaken?).
2) Is it possible to mirror from EE to SE (remember, low budget for the second server)?
3) How high is the overhead when doing a snapshot every 5-15 minutes (
I would think it's machine specific, but overall is it pretty quick or
prohibitive based on how often the snapshot would be needed)?
4) Is replication perhaps a better option based on how up to date the
data has to be? Are there any other options that may be available
for near-realtime reporting?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Sorry I am a newbie in SSIS.
I have got a small project that requires to feed in a .CSV flat file and load the data into SQL server 2000.
I developed a SSIS package for this and get it working in my computer, but I need to deploy it to customers that they don't have VS 2005 or SSIS installed. May any one of you give me some clues on that?
I played around with the flat file deployment and again it seems only working on my computer as I have everything installed.

Hello all,
Just wanted to get some feedback on this scenario. I will be developing an ASP.net application for our local intranet that employees will have access to. It may also be implmented to allow employees to access this ASP site from home as well. I would be using SQL Server 2000 as the backend DB and wondered what type of licensing would best fit this scenario?
Sorry if this is double posted....seemed to be having some issues with posting.
Thank you!

Hi,
I was recently experiencing a slowness when executing stored procedures from a .NET Application, but it went fast when executing from Query Analyzer. Research led me to find that by turning ArithAbort ON that it forces the SQL Server to use the same Execution plan whether the request is coming from Query Analyzer or the Application.
My concern now is the effect of ArithAbort. I understand what turning this option does, but I am trying to think of a scenario where turning it on could be bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be aware of when disabling/enabling ArithAbort or ArithIgnore?
Thanks.

Morning all,
I'm writing an Insert form which will write records to a few tables. What I want to know is how do I write multiple answers to one question in different rows in the table but keeping the ID?
For example.
The form has the following fields:
HotelIDHotelFacilities (CheckBoxList)
Now each hotel (in this case) will only have one ID but more than one HotelFacility .
How do I get my table to read...
HotelID
HotelFacility
1
Bar
1
Restaurant
1
Cafe
1
Wi-Fi Access
I presume INSERT INTO tblHotelFacilities(HotelID, HotelFacility) VALUES(@HotelID, @HotelFacility) won't write more than one selected facility?Thanks,Brett

We have an intranet site (.NET 2.0) that needs to access to a SQL Server 2005. We've created a named user on the server, WebUser, and use it's credentials in the connection string to connect to the server.
Due compliance issues, we're being asked to remove all the named users from the server. Now the users will have to connect to the database using their security context. That means all the users need to be in some server role, should be given access to the server, etc which is a security risk and a maintenance nightmare.
What other alternatives do we have to solve this problem?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi
Often we come across a form with a dropdown list (populated from a lookup table) with "Other" option as well. When user selected "Other" option a textbox appears where he can specify new option(This option is not to be added to master lookup table).
What is the best way to store it in database?
I have 2 columns (A and B). 'A' contains Lookup ID if some option other than "Other" is selected, else 'A' has NULL and 'B' field contains the text of Textbox.
But while reporting I face problems as in a report the selected option text (either 'A' or 'B') has to be shown under one column only but SELECT A,B results in 2 columns.

My company uses MS SQL Server for the back end and a Retail specific CRM as the front end. I wish to develop some internal peices of software for our use. I was planning on doing this with access.
my options are:
*Use access as front end and backend
*Use access as front end and SQL server as backend (create new DB)
*Use other front end and SQL Server as backend.
My question is, what are some good front ends that are availble for reletively small demands? How does Visual Studio come into play?
*Also, I would prefer to be able to create a .exe. I dont think access alows that. I would not want users to be able to go in (or even see) the tables and queries. They should only be able to see the one main menu form at the very least.
thankyou,
Dynasty
