Something happened, they are sending me to this conf on May 23-28. This is the first conference since 1999 that I would be attending. Personally I consider this to be the best conference, and I can attend it every day. But it would be interesting to see some of you. Anybody else going?
View 2 RepliesHi,
I importing data from db2 into sql
using openquery
In some case I have problem with date
example
DB2 date = '2004-05-13 24:00:00.000000'
I tried to convert it manually
sql server
select cast('2004-05-13 24:00:00.000'as datetime)
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
do I have to substruct - 1 millisecond ?
Hi,
I have an orchestration that recieves a pricelist flat file and it must insert into 2 tables - article, articlePrice(for each LotSize) into sql server using a sql adapter. I also want it to check if a record exists for that lotSize and update it if it does. The records are indentified with a uniqueidentifier. So I have 3 if statements:
1 - if (<the article does not exist(checks SupplierArticleNumber)>)
<insert a record into article table>
<insert a record into articlePrice table>
2 - else if(<the article exists but not for that lotSize>)
<insert a new record in articlePrice table>)
3 - else
update the corresponding ArticlePrice row.
My problem is in writing the sp, first it checks if the article exists, if it does then it creates a row in the article table and then one into the articlePrice table. My question is how do I get a hold on the "articleGUID"(pk - uniqueidentifier) that was created on the first table on insertion in order to create the row in the second table(fk)?
And is this possible with one stored procedure? If not does anyone know in Biztalk what other way to do this?
I am new to both Biztalk and sql, so I don't really know what I am doing? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Only problem is that she cant input anything into the database, my guess is that its due to no Primary key in the new sql table. I have had this problem before am I correct in my assumptions???
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs anybody out there using SQL Expert Pro? Can you give me some feedback please?
I've been evaluating it for two weeks now and am very pleased with the results but I'm a bit hesitant to spend $5000.
Thanks!

Hello, everone:
Anybody can offer technical information about DTS appied in data warehousing? Website, tutorial, forum and books will be great. Thanks.

We're a very small company, I’m the “technical” director who has evolved enough skill in a wide variety of tasks (network setup, machine config, email systems, html, asp, database...) and then one day you notice that parts of the system are starting to get way more complex and troublesome than the layman knowledge you have can cope with... Well, I think I’ve got to that point and I need some outside help to get our system to the next level!
OK, some rough details to start with. We run a small but fast-growing vehicle tracking system that sends back a LOT of data via GPRS to our SQL 2000 Enterprise server hosted on a dedicated server in London. The physical machine is a P4 3.2Ghz Dual-core Dell rackmount with 2GB RAM and 2 x 76GB SCSI disks in a RAID 1 array. This is partitioned into a 15GB C: partition and a 51GB D: partition. The system paging file is set to be 1536MB and is on the C: partition. The server is used for everything we do... it runs Smartermail email server (only about 5 or 6 domains and a few users, hardly used at all), SQL server as mentioned, web server & the proxy software that receives incoming data from our tracking devices.
There are 9 or 10 active databases on the SQL server. 8 of them take up less than a gigabyte between them and are sparingly used. The main “active” database on the SQL server is the tracking system – and this is big... As our tracking devices send in data every 10 – 30 seconds, the database is hit with hundreds of thousands of events per day. On a weekday, some half a million rows of data are written to the main “events” table on the database. Over 7 days from 26th November to 2nd December, almost exactly 3 million rows of data were written to the events table. We undertake to hold 3 months or so of data “live” for our customers and I periodically archive data off. I’ve been too busy to archive recently and the database is holding data on the events table going back to July 1st. The physical .mdf file is just under 30GB on partition d: at present. The plan is to drop the active data stored to only 1 – 2 months, but this still leaves a 12GB .mdf file.
The worrying thing with this is that this is only 700 or so devices writing to us at present... we aim to have thousands out there soon! We are looking into how we can hugely improve system performance and look to the future. Our hosting company is recommending VMWare virtual servers and SAN storage, but I’m not entirely sure that is the best way forward.
Our non-tech MD thinks the way forward is to have one database per customer and can't understand when I tell him I think that's bad as it will create all the system tables and bits & pieces for EVERY customer if we do that, right? Also it would be a nightmare to add a new column to a table as I'd have to update every single version of the database too... I want to avoid this unless I'm missing something and this is actually the best way to go forward?
I've had someone mention horizontal partitioning to me? not sure what implications this has to coding and table naming? Or is it all one big database spread among separate servers?
Currently our server is drowning on disk access and it's only going to get worse... any suggestions or links to reading online that I can do would be great, thanks!

My name is W. Curtis Preston, and I'm the author of "Backup & Recovery"(formerly "Unix Backup & Recovery") from O'Reilly & Associates.(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixbr/ )We're updating the book for 2006 and adding a chapter on SQL Serverbackup and recovery. Someone has already written what appears to be astrong chapter. The problem is that I'm not qualified to review it,since I'm not that familiar with SQL ServerCan anyone in this group step up to the plate and review the SQL Serverchapter? You would be mentioned in the acknowledgments of the book andreceive an autographed copy of the book.We're looking for two tech reviewers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm trying to publish an SQL Server Instance through an ISA Server but I'm not being able. I tried to create the rules to allow the SQL protocols and to tunnel the calls from internet into my SQL server. I set the instance to connect through a fix port so it wouldn't worry about not being the default instance and configured that port in the ISA server so the remote calls were channeled into it. I'm allowing only TCP connections.
I must be pretty wrong on something because it doesn't work.
Can someone offer me a white paper or some step by step instructions to do this?
Thanks a lot.
