We use a lot of virtual machines. I have a base VM with SQL 2005 installed. I rename this VM (i have multiple copies running) and run an old application (VB code, iterates through recordsets, etc.).
I get: Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find server '2K3VM-DG' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
This makes sense, and I can fix it with sp_dropserver / sp_addserver [local]. Good.
The next error is puzzling though:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The cursor does not include the table being modified or the table is not updatable through the cursor.
After trying every way I could come up with I can't get a filter clauseto work with a passed variable ...I have a cursor that pulls a filter string from a table (works OK),then I want to use that filter in a second cursor, but can't get thesyntax ...@bakfilter is equal to "MISV2_db_%.BAK" before I try to open and fetchfrom the second cursor. Here is the cursor declaration:DECLARE curFiles CURSOR FORSELECT FileName, FileDateFROM DataFileWHERE (((Active)=1) AND ((FileName) LIKE '@bak_filter'))ORDER BY FileDate DESCWhat do I need to do to get it to use the string contained in@bak_filter?Thanks in advance, Jim

I have a SQL Task that executes some stored procedure. When a condition is met the stored procedure raises an error by calling RAISERROR (@ErrorMessage,16,1). Following the SQL Task I have Send Mail Task that sends an error email.
I would like to know how to include the @ErrorMessage in the error email.
I am having trouble finding information on placing a % on a table value for a column of information in SSRS. I can do a "round" but cannot find how to include a % to the percentage. I just see SQL solution which I already know.

This is taking about 45 minutes each time to do 21k records. Is there a faster, better way to do this?
Hello experts. I have been searching for anything about this but found very little. What are the events logged in SQL Server Error Logs aside from Successful/Failed Login, Backup/Restore/Recover database and, start/init sql server? Can we configure this to log other events, like CREATE or DBCC events for example? If so, how? Thanks a lot.
I have a stored procedure that contains a cursor. Right now, the table name for the cursor is "hard-coded". I would like to be able to "soft-code" the table name, because the table name may vary (although the fields would always be the same).
Is this even possible?
The only workaround I can think of is to use an EXEC on a real-time built SQL statement into a temp table and then cursor through the temp table.
I need some help and gaining knowledge per the SQL Standards.
I have a Stor Procedue which Cursor through say MASTER. This table have information/ Counm that guides me to multiple say two different table. i.e, Col1 in MASTER table have the information on what table I need to work on COL2 in MASTER Table give me what Field I have to work on and accordingly move the data
Example :
MASTER ID COL1 COL2 COL3 1 Address Street Nichols Rd. 1 Address Zip 90001 2 Address Street Michigan Ave 2 Address Zip 90002 3 Person FName James 3 Person LName Bond 4 Person FName Bill 4 Person LName Gates
Address ID Street Zip 1 Nichols Rd. 90001 2 Michigan Ave 90002
Person ID FName LName 3 James Bond 4 Bill Gates
For doing this I created a Store Procedure which Cursor thru MASTER table which for each row goes to Entity on which it has to work (MASTER Table : Col1 Value) and in that entity Its goes to the Field(MASTER Table: Col2 Value) and places the value of the Col3 in it.
It is working fine and superb. Now, I try to introduce Error Handling such that incase in order to see if there is any error while doing this INSERT and UPDATE.
SAMPLE QUERY: (Structure is Same but modified for readability)
UPDATE @ENTITY SET @FIELD = @VALUE WHERE ID = @KEYID IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo.ErrorLog VALUES( @KEYID + ' , '+ @ENTITY + ' , ' + @FIELD +' , ' + @VALUE ) END
This query is working fine . If there is any error and for some reason if its not able to insert/update the data Its populates the ErrorLog Table and instead of failing the store proc goes for the next row and do teh necessary action
Finally SProc does what it has too 1) Get the data in teh respective tabel and colunm 2) if it cannot insert/ update go for the next row and populate the error log table with what it was n't able to update/ insert
SO Whats the problem? Good question , here is the issue or topic of discussion
1) What is the standard way of Error Handling. Did I atleast follow teh minimum Error Handling criteria. 2) I can see from teh table that, as required, its skipping the row into Error Log table whenevr its not able to do the required functions and going for next row 3) I introduce a Error and when I execute the Sproc it gives me Mesaage:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated. Also I see that "Query Completed with Errors" well I said whenever teh SPROC see error do some thing else, then why would it count it as error and give me this message? Why is the SPROC failing.
What Should I do such that it counts or give when ever there is a genuine error. I mean it should not fail at all because I am saying there whenever there is an incapability of Insert/ Delete just simply skip the row and Insert that row in Error Log Table.
Am I missing something in this Proc?
If it will do that then is tehre any way or query or anything I have to do that handles the issue that Whennver its not able to do whatever I am asking it to do (Ex: If I am asking it to insert INTEGER in Character Field) then an error is raised then just skipp that row insert that row in erro log and go for next row and dont fail the SPROC.
I've implemented a UDF in SQL Server 2005 written in C#. The function with its assembly has been registered ok with SQL Server and works fine. It accepts three short strings (nvarchar of lengths 5, 35, and 35) and returns a SQL formatted string (SqlString).
When I run the function to test it it works just fine, and the same is true if I run the function inside a cursor to update a field in a table. But when I do a simple update it crashes. I've so far received two different errors: first one error saying a string could not be converted into an integer (but the error does not occur when I enter the same input values manually via a test Windows form, or through the new Query Analyzer as a single query - or using it inside a cursor). Then one error saying a string was too short (I couldn't use substring(X, Y) because the string, I was told, was too short - it wasn't).
The problem thus cannot be with the function since it works just fine if I do like this:
UPDATE myTable SET CodeField = dbo.fnMyFunction(Field1, Field2, Field3) WHERE PersonId = 10000001
And it works fine while doing the same thing inside a cursor (for instance working with the first 10, 100 or 1000 records).
But when I do this it crashes:
UPDATE myTable SET CodeField = dbo.fnMyFunction(Field1, Field2, Field3)
For your information the table has about 1.5M records (for testing, it contain more data when on the production server) and my aim is to update the CodeField column as quickly as possible. The CodeField is a 12-character string that is based on a rather complex algorithm including the Field1, Field2 and Field3 strings. I'm using C# because it manages strings much better than SQL Server - and it is so much easier coding this stuff.
Anyhow, I've had this kind of problem before with SQL Servers 2000 and 7 (maybe even 6.5) and it seems the problem occurs when I let SQL Server go about its business at its own pace. But when I do something to control that it really takes one record at a time (through using a cursor or executing the query with a WHERE clause like the one above) it works splendidly.
The problem here is that a cursor is way too slow, and there really shouldn't be a problem with a simple UPDATE command, should it? After all, everything works just fine except when I let SQL Server do what it does best (i.e. update the field at its own speed, whatever that is).
Any ideas? This is very frustrating since it is impossible to try and find the error - it isn't there when testing! And it is frustrating since I remember having had the same kind of problem (but every time with different errors arising) before without finding a solution (except for slowing everything down - not an option here).
Is there a certain tweak I can do to make things work out, or should I code things differently?
One of the people I have to support gets an error message when they are trying to use a SQL based application that was developed in house:
an error occured..microsoft odbc sql driver cursor type change. location frn main, load user () source is odbc
Unfortunately, the developer is not available to troubleshoot the issue and I do not understand it. I thought ODBC settings were static, so how could they cause a cursor to change?
I have a task of rewriting all the old procs which were build on cursors, the management does want me to remove the cursor completely since that would mean rewriting everthing.. they want to use a temp table and run a cursor on the temp table. Since there are many cursors in each proc. Any suggestions on to go about it. I am against the use of cursor any everywhere in it , even if it calls for rewriting the whole db again. I did some tests on running the old proc and the semi new proc , which runs a cursor from the temp table for the cursor query. And it even bad than the cursor only. what does this mean? Is it really a very bad idea to run cursor on a temp table?
I want to write a stored procedure in which I will update the all calendar week values (stored in a table). And to achieve this I will have to loop through all the records present in calendar table.
I am just wondering that should I use Cursor or TEMP table (caz of performance issues)?
As it will be part of data warehouse so all the processing will be carried out at SERVER ( means no client)
Can any one tell me that which would be the best solution ( Cursor or Temp table) in my case and WHY?
We have an old 16-bit app that runs fine in SQL 7.0 but on our test SQL 2000 box some reports generate the following error "System Message 10202 - The application fetch buffer size is less than the cursor select statement requires". Any ideas what this means, I am not much of a coder. The MS Knowledge base does not list much on this.

Hi, I need a small help. In my stored procedure, i create a table variable and fill it with records based on my query. The ID field within the table is not continous and can have any value in increasing order .e.g. The ID sequence may be like 20, 33, 34, 59, 78, 79... I want to iterate through each record within the table but without using a Cursor. I want to use a loop for this purpose. There are many articles pointing out how to iterate through records in a table variable but that requires the IDs to be continous which is not possible in my case. Can anyone help me solve this problem... Any help is appreciated...
