I'm working with a temporal database of inventory which is updated daily. It looks something like this: TableID ProductID InventoryValue DateAdded DateExpired
The DateAdded field is placed when the row is inserted & each time new information is evaluated, it is considered against this row. DateExpired is finally set when a new row comes to replace it with a change in information. That part works.The part that doesn't work is that often, my distributors will omit inventory as a way of specifying a 0 quantity value. So If I had 100 rows & now I have 95, this means that 5 are now out of stock. Considering the way that my db is set up, it's difficult to identify whether no change was made or if I did not receive the inventory value. How would you set it up such that this is a consideration?
Does anyone know if there are any licence implications (SAP side) against Microsoft .NET Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite?
I heard from a colleague that if my SQL Server has (for example) 5 users, if SQL does connect to SAP, it would require the user license of 5 more users?
If there any implications similar to this one with SAP?
Hi In data mining, I came across the term called "temporal/spatial" perspective....what does this really trying to convey and mean ? Will anyone please provide some light on it ? Thank you
I was trying to create temporal table feature which gets introduced in SQL Server 2016 but I am getting this error while trying to create it; Cannot enable compression for object 'Department_History'. Only SQL Server Enterprise Edition supports compression
I have installed SQL Server CTP 2.0 on my system. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (CTP2.0) - 13.0.200.172 (Intel X86) May 21 2015 11:16:44 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 6.2 <X86> (Build 9200: )
I need to rename my server and i believe i have to use dropserver and addserver. What are the implications of using these commands. Will I lose any data or anything? Thanks Nick
After I created the following SET statement in my cube it appears as if SSAS is always calculating it before I can switch to the browser view in BIDS. So it almost becomes a performance issue. Also I cannot see it from Excel, why would that be?
Code Snippet CREATE SET CURRENTCUBE.[Top10Count] AS TopCount( CROSSJOIN( {[DIM IMPORTMONTH].[REVIEWPERIOD].DefaultMember}, {[DIM DMDUNIT].[DMDUNIT].Children}, {[DIM DMDGROUP].[DMDGROUP].Children}, {[DIM LOC].[LOC].Children} ) ,10,[Measures].[QTY]) ;
Here is my questions, it would be great if somebody could advice me:
Why can't I see the SET within Excel although I have marked it visible and given it a name? I see other SETs.
In order to not see empty combinations I would like to add the nonempty() function but cannot get it to work. Where would I put it?
If a user wanted to see the Top10 rows based on QTY I'd expect her/him to pick the SET above and the required dimensions along with the QTY measure and the list should come up, is that correct?
My customers use Excel as the front end so I nees a solution that supports that.
When our servers were built the regional settings were left as US even though we are in the UK.
SQL 2000 was then installed using the defaults and so the codepage is set to
SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS
Not realising that the locale being used in the company was US I built another server and set the default locale to UK and then installed SQL server 2000 which resulted in SQL having a different collation.
When I resotred some databases to my new server there were problems with some of the views and it was traced back to the collation settings.
Looking forward, should the company resolve the fact that we have an incorrect collation on our SQL servers? The implication of this is that all SQL servers will have to be built with US regional settings - otherwise our databases will not function.
Is there a compelling reason why we should resolve this - or just stick with it? What are the implications of sticking or changing?
Hi, I'm trying assess the impact of supporting UTF8 character sets on our Internet portal. What are the dos and donts of "internationalizing" our website in storing user data for user account type of information (e.g. username, password, address, etc.)?
Hello, I have a table (in Access) with about 30 fields and 1,700,000 records. I had created a mining model in AS2005 with only one key (the autonum column called ID) and other attributes marked as Input and/or predict. When processing the model, it finish (after 15 min.) with an error: 3183 "Not enough space in temporal disk" After some search , I encountered that is close related to the memory asigned to the tempdb. I tried to increase the size of tempdb but it is imposible, moreover, it starts with 8MB but it is autosized when needed.
I don't know how to solve this issue. Or, if it is a question of memory/disk space management (I have 100GB of free space in disk).
I tried the same model changing the KEY (I assign StudyID as key) then with the same data but 60,000 StudyIDs it is ok, so the mining model is ok (no nested tables, no case, too easy for getting a memory error)...
Please, can anyone recommend a possible solution for this issue?. Many Thanks.
I choose SQL and windows authetication during SQL Express 2005 install. Will this has any impact on the connection string in my Visual Studio 2005 environment?
I am replicating a couple of SQL2K databases via transactional rep and remote 2K distributor to 1 SQL2K5 database.
I want the distributor to email me when/if any of the agents fail etc. In order to set this up, I think that I need the SQL Server service to use a domain account (from error messages that I have been getting). It is currently using a local system account (it was a test box in a previous life).
I have tried this briefly, and found that it lost the publisher details in the replication monitor. Can anyone tell me what the implications for changing the SQL server service user and password are? Am I going to have to tear down and rebuild replication? The SQL Server Agent is fine - I am trying to get the two services in sync.
I want to save some temporal data in the stored procedure. Comparing temporal table and table type variable, which one is better regarding to the performance?
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...
I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD
I'm using Script Component to load data into Oracle DB due to the poor performance issue. Now, I found it will missing some data during the transmission. Please see the screenshot below:Â
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
and also this:
[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.

I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected. It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file? ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination? anyone faced such errors before?

is there a step by step paper to get there? here is what i need to consider. I Iwill have many customers that will need their own set of records and access pages "branded for their company" each customer will have many clients. I am hosting this application on a windows 2003 server with SQL 2005 server enterprise.
I am using windows authentication, I have created a username in windows, then i added the windows user in SQL management studio in security, granted "DB Read" and "DB write" and again under the database security tab. still from the web authentication fails. i must be nissing a step or two?
I expect to set up a username for each database as i setup new customers.
RE: XML Data source .. Expression? Variable? Connection? Error: unable to read the XML data.
I want my XML Data source to be an expression as i will be looping through a directory of xml files.
I don't see the expression property or the connection property??
I tried setting the XMLData property to @[User::filename], but that results in:

I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table. The primary key of my SQL table is mapped to the Title column of my Sharepoint list. There is a possibility that duplicate values will be entered in the Title field of the Sharepoint list. So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
I have to extract, dayly a list of contacts on a exchange server in a table on our EDW on sql server 2005. Is it possible to get the information directly from a dataflow or i will have to developpe a script task ?
I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.
HiI'm having problems following the tutorial on creating a data access layer - http://www.asp.net/learn/dataaccess/tutorial01cs.aspx?tabid=63 - when I try to compile in Visual Studio 2005 I get namespace could not be found. I followed exactly the tutorial - I created a dataset and added this code in my aspx page. <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="DataWebControlStyle"> <HeaderStyle CssClass="HeaderStyle" /> <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="AlternatingRowStyle" />In my C# file I added these lines... using NorthwindTableAdapters; <<<<<this is the problem - where does this come from? protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ProductsTableAdapter productsAdapter = new ProductsTableAdapter(); GridView1.DataSource = productsAdapter.GetProducts(); GridView1.DataBind(); }Thanks in advance
My vendor requires data to be sent in Excel format. Some of my tables have rows over 65,536 so I need to use Excel 2007 (Max of 1,048,576). Right now my data sits in SQL 2000. I am using MS SQL Enterprise Manager 8.0 to prepare the data. Is there some kind of add on or selection I am missing to use DTS to export from SQL to Excel 2007?Thanks in advance.
I think I am definitely thrashing and am not getting anywhere on something I think should be pretty simple to accomplish: I need to pull the total amounts for compartments with different products which are under the same manifest and the same document number conditionally based on if the document types are "Starting" or "Ending" but the values come from the "Adjust" records.
So here is the DDL, sample data, and the ideal return rows
CREATE TABLE #InvLogData ( Id BIGINT, --is actually an identity column Manifest_Id BIGINT, Doc_Num BIGINT, Doc_Type CHAR(1), -- S = Starting, E = Ending, A = Adjust Compart_Id TINYINT,
[Code] ....
I have tried a combination of the below statements but I keep coming back to not being able to actually grab the correct rows.
SELECT DISTINCT(column X) FROM #InvLogData GROUP BY X HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT X) > 1
One further minor problem: I need to make this a set-based solution. This table grows by a couple hundred thousand rows a week, a co-worker suggested using a <shudder/> cursor to do the work but it would never be performant.
