Standby, This Is A Test Post, Thanks For Your Patience

I just have to try this.

Refering To Distinct Values Post(My Other Post)

---------------------------------------------------------------
My Original Post
I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).

Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense?
----------------------------------------------------------------

First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do.
I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...

date | id_nbr | account_nbr | sub_account_nbr | ... etc
-------------------------------------------------------------

Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.

Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table.
I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.

What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?

thanks, i hope this is clear...

DB Engine :: Replicate A Master Test Database To 100 Test Environments?

We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines.  We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.  

My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines.  I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.

Unit Testing For SSIS - To Test Or Not To Test?

Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?

Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?

S.No

Test Case


1

Verify all the tables have been imported.



2

Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.



3

Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported


4

Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.



5

Verify the schema at source and destination



6

Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer


7

Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

SQL 2012 :: Restore DB From Prod To Test - How To Restore Users In Test

I need to restore test DB from production backup but once it is restored I would need all the permissions of sql logins and windows AD account intact in test Db as it was before.

Post To A DB

Alright so here is what I am trying to do.
I have a form that someone fills out it has a text box as title, and a drop down box that is a category, and then a text area that is for their explanation.
On the back end I am using a stored procedure called sp_store_bkm. When I execute this it works just fine and puts the data that I put in it into the to table below is the  Stored procedure code:
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_store_bkm @oID nvarchar OUTPUT, @oTitle nvarchar(50),  @oCategory nvarchar(50), @obkmtext nvarchar(MAX)
 AS BEGIN INSERT INTO tbl_bkms(Title, Category, bkmtext) VALUES(@oTitle, @oCategory, @obkmtext)Set @oID=  SCOPE_IDENTITY() END
 
Now on my front end it comes up with an error in the lower left (erros on page). When I click on the error for details it seems like it is coming fromt he connection string. I cant find anything wrong with the connection string. Below is my code for the aspx page.
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Untitled Page" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

HELP !!!!!! (just Below This Post)

Can you help me? I'm pointing on the thread just below this post (along with the other messages on the message board).

Hello--First Post & Already Need Help!

Greetings friends:

I am a student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. We have a big db project tomorrow and I'm proud with the work I've done so far, I've designed my own db and tested it using queries and such. Pretty good for being introduced to SQL just a couple short months ago. Anyway, I've sort of run into a wall here. I need to have an attribute of a table be computed from others.

I'm working with 2005 Server Management Studio and I have found the computed column specification under the column properties tab. I know that I have to enter a formula, but I'm just not sure on what to do. I have a CHG_HOUR attribute in a table called "EXPERTISE" which signifies how much a consultant charges per hour, based on what he exactly does. I also have a JOB_HOURS attribute in a JOB table (that links my CONTRACT table to CONSULTANT). I want to basically give a formula that multiplies the CHG_HOUR from the EXPERTISE table by the JOB_HOURS in the JOB table. Any suggestions on how I might do this?

Thank you in advance for your response, and hopefully with more practice and courses, I can be the one helping people like me on these boards in a few years.

Post SP2 GDR

I have a question about the post SP2 GDR that just came out in the last day or two. My laptop only has the client tools installed, not the server components (except for the SSIS server component). Is there any need for me to install this GDR? Does it impact the Management Studio code which views maintenance plans on remote SQL Servers or anything?

How Do I Post A Job To SQL From My Web Page.

I am developing an application using Visual Web Designer (language VB) with a SQL Server 2000 back end.
Within my logic I have a point where I want to say "Run SQL procedure GEDFinish".  GEDFinish can take several minutes, and I don't need to wait for it's results - it would be fine if it ran overnight.  I can easily check whether GEDFinish has run from the database, in situation where my application logic needs to know if it has already run.
Currently I only know how to run a procedure under the direct control of my web program, but with GEDFinish this fails due to timeouts.  (This will be worse in the production site). What I really want to do is to have my web program submit "Exec GEDFinish" to the SQL agent, and then forget about it.   It would be even better if I could build a script for the SQL agent, for example "EXEC GEDFinish Parameter=7"
Help!  How do I do this?
Thanks, Robert Barnes

Any idea ?

Real Newbie Post...

I was hoping there would be a newbie section in here... But I'll post anyway (And sorry in advance if its a really dumb question)I am using VWDE and have a SQL DB which has been imported from one of my existing forums, when it shows in the database explorer its show like belowtblArcade (jdName)tblArcadePB (jdName)etc..etc...What I want to know is why this DB has (jdName) after the Table name and my other DB's shown don't?? They are just shown as tblArcade
tblArcadePB etc..etc.. My main questions are "How do I remove the brackets from the forum DB" as when I try to preview data in VWDE I get a message Invalid object name 'tblArcade'.I know its to do with this extra bit as it only happens to the tables that have this on the end... Hope that makes sense and someone can help me, if you could reply as if I'm really dumb it would be appreciated  

Post From Text Box To SQL Insert

Hello,I'm trying to update a single field of a record and i want to do it using a standard multi line text box but I'm not sure how to write the c# command to process the sql update.  I would also like the entry to be added into the database with line breaks. Thanks for your help 

Information Won't Post To My Database

I'm having a weird problem with an easy process. I have a section that allows people to enter their name and email address if they wish to be contacted. I have it set up so that when they enter that information into the text boxes, the info is then sent to my SQL database. The code looks right to me, but it never comes up. Here is the code I have for the button_click.
 
Dim NTAdatasource As New SqlDataSource()
NTAdatasource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString1").ToString()
NTAdatasource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
NTAdatasource.InsertCommand = "INSERT into ContactUs (YourName, EmailAddress, DateTimeStamp) VALUES (@YourName, @EmailAddress, @DateTimeStamp)"
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("YourName", txtYourName.Text)
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("EmailAddress", txtEmailAddress.Text)
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("DateTimeStamp", DateTime.Now)
Dim RowsAdded As Integer = 0
Try
RowsAdded = NTAdatabase.Insert()
Catch ex As Exception
Server.Transfer("problem.aspx")
End Try
 
If RowsAdded <> 1 Then
Server.Transfer("problem.aspx")
Else
Server.Transfer("success.aspx")
End If
End Sub
 
The strange thing is that when I debug, the "rowsadded" value comes up to 1. The process runs through debugging just fine and redirects me to my "success.aspx" page. What am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks

POST BACK TO SERVER

hi all,

Pass Paramenter To DTS-HELP! (2nd Post)

Transaction Replication(2nd Post)

Hi all,
I am using SQL 2k on two seperate servers on win 2k advance servers without any service packs. My problem is i am using transactional replication between two servers (SML1 and SML2), SML1 is publisher/Distributor and SML2 is subscriber. My db name on both the server is same. when i am inserting data in db on SML1 it replicates immediately on SML2 but vice versa in not happening. Any help in setting up two way replication is highly appreciated. (There is no timestamp column on table which is used as article and there is PK).

thanks in advance.

Yet Another Trigger/xp_cmdshell Post

I can run the xp_cmdshell command with any other command until I put something like this is.

CREATE TRIGGER RunUpdateProgram ON [dbo].[UpdateQue]
FOR INSERT
AS
declare @MybatchID varchar(32),
@sendcommand varchar(32)

select @MybatchID = batchid from updateque
select @sendcommand = '"d:xanaduostarterprog.exe ' + @MybatchID + '"'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @sendcommand, no_output

The starterprog is setup to receive commandline input and then do its thing but everytime I try to add in a commandline to the xp_cmdshell command i get nothing.

The security is right and the program is right because i can run it until i try to add that last part "@MybatchID". If I take out the quotes then it runs the program but without the commandline input. I've tested the program manually and it correctly accepts commandlines that way.

Anyone got any ideas on what I've done wrong here.

SQL Thread/post Sorting.

I'm making a "simple" ASP forum to integrate into a webpage solution. I just recently ran into a problem with sorting threads.
I have a page that displays all threads in a given forum (Threads.ThreadForumID=iForumID) this page will have all pinned threads on top of the list the threads should then be sorted according to when a message last was posted inside the thread (Posts.PostDate)

Sort order:
Threads.ThreadPinned
Posts.PostDate or Posts.LastPostDate if it has been set.

The tables are as follows:
Threads table:
ThreadIDNumber
ThreadNameText
ThreadViewCountNumber
ThreadOwnerIDNumber(Ref to thread owner id, user)
ThreadLockedBoolean
ThreadPinnedBoolean
ThreadForumIDNumber(Ref to ForumID, forum)

Posts table:
PostIDNumber
PostTextText
PostOwnerIDNumber(Ref to post owner, user)
PostLastEditByNumber(Ref to last user that edited, user)
PostThreadIDNumber(Ref to thread)
PostIPText
PostNicknameText
PostDateDate
PostLastEditDateDate

Current "sort":
This is the current SQL statement it is not in any way correct. It's just temporary. I have tried different joins but I can't seem to get it right!

SELECT ThreadID
FROM Threads
WHERE ThreadForumID=" & iForumID & "
ORDER BY ThreadPinned DESC, ThreadID DESC

Could someone please give me a hand here?
