I am using an MS Access front end to input data into a SQL server
database. From Access I am generating an update query utilising an
inline function. My problem is that when I update a time value,
instead of updating the field with something like 08:00:00 it updates
it to 1/1/1900 08:00:00. Is there a way to force the update to only
use the hours minutes and seconds and ignore the date part?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to enter times for running event performances (like 10:26.35 for a person's 2-mile time, for instance). I am using sql server 2000. This is an ongoing concern for me since I do a lot of work with running events. Can someone give me some direction as to how I can best deal with this?
The datetime data types do a lot of converting to 'time-of-day' and that is not what I want. For instance, if I enter a 2-mile time of 10:26.35 (a pretty typical 2-mile time) my db converts it to 10:26:35 AM.
If I use varchar data type there is a ton of code to write when I want to sort the data.
Thanks!
I am trying to import an access database into SQL Server 2000.
I am using the DTS Import wizard to to this.
Most of the tables import fine, but a few are not importing.
Here is the error message that occurs on most of them:
Code Snippet
Table Name Here
Error at destination for Row number 1. Error encountered so far in this task:
1. Insert error, column 7 (€˜CallTime€™, DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Here is an example of an entry in one of the 'Calltime' rows: 7:45:30PM.
This is a date/time field in Access.
I looked at this SQL table after the import finished and there was no data.
Also, it tried to import as a smalldatetime data type.
Is there something I can change in Accesss to fix this problem?
I need to create a linked server that can access more than one database.
I assume, the only wat this can be done by creating two separate links from the local server using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL server. But the
problem is the Server Name. I cannot use the same servername twice and
if I use a name that is not an exisiting SQL server name I get an error
that "server not found".
So, how do I addlink the same server a mulitple times to access different databases in the server?
Thanks.

I have an application that connects to an externally hosted SQL server. The first time i go to the web page, the application times out. I can then immediately refresh and everything works. After a period of about 20-30 minutes of inactivity, the issue repeats itself.
This is very hard to trouble shoot.
Anyone know what to do?
Hi,
I am experiencing some problems accessing an Oracle database through
OLE DB from an MTS application using OpenWithServiceComponents (which
is supposed to give me connection pooling).
When I connect to a SQL Server database it only takes 3.1 ms to open a
connection, while with Oracle it takes 15.5 ms (both DB's running on
the same machine, I made 1000 calls and took the average).
Am I doing something wrong, am I missing something here?
I have tried to use the plain Open method, but in this case it takes
5.4 ms with SQL Server and 31.4 ms with Oracle.
Is Oracle really that much slower when accessing it through OLE DB?
Thanks for any advice/hints!

For security reasons customer wants to put a SQL database on an encrypted thumb drive (IronKey). Here's the rub though. He wants to be able to work with the data on a workstation. Then, if he takes his laptop out of the office he wants to be able to simply plug that thumb drive into the laptop and fire up SQL on the laptop and use that same database. Procedurally this would work in that the database can be created so that the location is the same from both machine viewpoints, however will the two different SQL instances allow moving the database back and forth like this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi Folks:
We´ve migrated from SQL Server 7.0 EE to SQL Server 2000 in a 8processors, 8 GB RAM server, using W2000.
All seems go ok, but after reorganizing indexes, when we want to recover free space in the differents files using DBCC SHRINKFILE, that recovers are taking the triple of time than with previous SQL Server 7.0.
Shrinking big files (6GB to recover 1.5 GB), previously taking 3 hours now are needing 9 hours.
Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.
Best Regards.
I got this ERD and I have 2 questions about it:
What is the minimum number of times that R2 can appear in the connection? and what is the maximum?
A=5
B=5
C1=1
C2=2
I am building a query. I have a table with 4 columns and need to try and put the times together. There are some inconsistencies with this, and i'm hoping to exclude them.. Here is a sample table:
Function | Employee | DateTime
--------------------------------------------
1 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:47 PM
2 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:49 PM
2 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:50 PM
3 | 2 | 1/30/2015 1:37 PM
3 | 2 | 1/30/2015 1:39 PM
3 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:40 PM
4 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:42 PM
4 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:45 PM
Function 1 = Clock In Type 1
Function 2 = Clock Out Type 1
Function 3 = Clock In Type 2
Function 4 = Clock Out Type 2
Basically what I need to do is take the time from rows with Function 1 and match it with Function 2 so I can get a total time of the clock in. Function 3 rows need to match up with Function 4 rows so I can get another set of total times. There may be more clock in rows then clock out rows or more clock out rows then clock in rows, and there may be multiple clock ins & outs per day per employee. I'm basically trying to get totals for each Clock In/Out type.
If exists (select fieldID from #tmploginfo where status <> 0
group by fieldID
having count(*) > 0)
begin
backup log rdb to disk = N'C:
db1.trn'
End
I want to iterate this query using a loop as many as 5 times max.
I've got the below and have several variation and still cant seem to find a perfect way to query the server to bring back that last full backup per db. I'm shopwing mutilple records in the backup set db w/ type = 'D'. I look online and type D = Database. Which i assumed it meant full database backup. Apparently not. Try running the below on one of your full databases. Then check to see if the date is actually the last backup date.
DECLARE @db_name VARCHAR(100)
SELECT @db_name = DB_NAME()
-- Get Backup History for required database
SELECT TOP ( 30 ) s.database_name,
m.physical_device_name,

I'm a student and need this to work for projects. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys!
I have created a big list of packages, some calling others. They all work fine from my computer using Visual Studio.
When I try to deploy them (building them with deployment turned on and running them either directly from Management Studio or as a job) I get the errors with the password of connection strings. From what I read so far its the encryption process that kills it.
I have tried to add a password to some packages, but it still didnt work (only when run directly on my computer in management studio after deploying to SQL Server, but not as a job).
I have tried to change ProtectionLevel to SecurityStorage, wouldnt let me save in Visual Studio (I understand it is ot allowed in VS because you are saving to File System, how the hell am I supposed to save it to anything else? why is it showing there if its not even valid?).
If anyone can please give me the steps to doing it properly, that would be awesome. I simply need to run the packages from SQL Server! thats all! I have no idea why it has to be soooo difficult :/
I have a request where i would like to get the start date/time and end date/time and flag (with an int) which hours (24 hour clock) have values between the two dates. Example car comes into service on 2013-12-25 at 0800 and leaves 2013-12-25 at 1400 the difference is 6 hours and i need my table to show
Column: Hour_6 Value: 0
Column: Hour_7 Value: 0
Column: Hour_8 Value: 1
Column: Hour_9 Value: 1
Column: Hour_10 Value: 1
Column: Hour_11 Value: 1
Column: Hour_12 Value: 1
Column: Hour_13 Value: 1
Column: Hour_14 Value: 0
As i'm working away at it i'm trying to figure out how i could use a Time Dimension table for this but dont really see much. So far i have the difference between the two times in hours (hour_diff) and the start hour (min_hour) so i would like to do something where i update the first hour (min_hour) and update columns based on the numbers of hours (hour_diff)
We have a view with many left joins. The original creators of this view might have been lazy or sloppy, I don't know. I have rewritten the query to proper inner joins where required and also nested left joins.
So rather then the following exemplary fragment
select <many items>
from A
left join B on B.id_A = A.id
left join C on C.id_B = B.idthis now looks like
select <many items>
from A
left join (B
join C on C.id_B = B.id
) on B.id_A = A.id
Compilation time of the original view was 18s, of the new rewritten view 4s. The performance of execution is also better (not counting the compile of course). The results of the query are identical. There are about 30 left joins in the original view.
I can imagine that the optimizer has difficulty with all these left joins. But 14s is quite a big difference. I haven't looked into detail in the execution plans yet. I noticed that in both cases the Reason for Early Termination of Statement Optimization was Time Out.
In my staging table I am having data like below
ABL¯ABL¯0¯0¯ABL¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯

Now I want to find the Number of times a '¯'character appears in a string. I should get output 14
I have a table that stores working hrs, such as
RecID,StaffID,StartDate,EndDate
17,969,2015-05-18 00:00:00.000,2015-05-18 06:00:00.000
18,969,2015-05-18 18:00:00.000,2015-05-19 06:00:00.000
19,969,2015-05-19 18:00:00.000,2015-05-20 06:00:00.000
20,969,2015-05-20 18:00:00.000,2015-05-21 06:00:00.000
21,969,2015-05-21 18:00:00.000,2015-05-22 06:00:00.000
22,969,2015-05-22 18:00:00.000,2015-05-23 06:00:00.000
23,969,2015-05-23 14:00:00.000,2015-05-24 08:00:00.000
24,969,2015-05-24 22:00:00.000,2015-05-25 00:00:00.000
So working times can go over midnight, there can be more than one working period in a day etc.
For this staff member the summary of the weeks work will be
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 12 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 12 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
Now for the complicated part, a person can take absence(sick,holiday,other) for any part of a day or whole day(s). For these absence periods only the worked time on that day needs to be negated off, not the whole period of time.
So for example
If this person
had a days holiday on the 22nd, shown in the HOLIDAY table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 22/05/2015 00:00:00.000,22/05/2015 23:59:59.000
A Leave of Absence on the 20th, shown in the LEAVE table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969,20/05/2015 12:00:00.000,20/05/2015 16:00:00.000
And was off sick on the morning of the 19th, shown in the SICKNESS Table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 19/05/2015 00:00:00.000,19/05/2015 11:59:59.000
Now the Summary table should now show
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 6 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 0 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
The 'Leave of Absence' on the 20th had no effect on the total for the day as it was between planned work times. how to do this within T-SQL, as simple as possible as I've got to had this code over to other staff members to maintain, who have not had much SQL experience yet?
I've tried doing it as a temp table, with dual insert/select commands, splitting the times over midnight, which partially worked but missed some of the combinations.
I'm trying to quantify the number of times folks use SQL Server Management Studio to change client data in one of our production databases. Does SQL Server keep this statistic? How do I get to this data?
View 6 Replies View RelatedProblem Summary: Merge Statement takes several times longer to execute than equivalent Update, Insert and Delete as separate statements. Why?
I have a relatively large table (about 35,000,000 records, approximately 13 GB uncompressed and 4 GB with page compression - including indexes). A MERGE statement pretty consistently takes two or three minutes to perform an update, insert and delete. At one extreme, updating 82 (yes 82) records took 1 minute, 45 seconds. At the other extreme, updating 100,000 records took about five minutes.When I changed the MERGE to the equivalent separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements (embedded in an explicit transaction) the entire update took only 17 seconds. The query plans for the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements look very similar to the query plan for the combined MERGE. However, all the row count estimates for the MERGE statement are way off.
Obviously, I am going to use the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements. The actual query plans for the four statements ( combined MERGE and the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE ) are attached. SQL Code to create the source and target tables and the actual queries themselves are below. I've also included the statistics created by my test run. Nothing else was running on the server when I ran the test.

I am trying to create a logon trigger. As I am testing this, I discovered that each time I do a connection, I get 19 rows, inserted into my audit table. I ran profiler, and I see it is going through the logon trigger multiple times, for a single connection. So, what am I doing wrong? The code is fairly simplistic, and the profiler doesn't give a clue, as to what is going on. When I look at the output, I see the spid for the first couple of connections are different, then a spid, that is different from those 2 is in the next 17 rows. But, when I do an sp_who2, that spid does not exist.
This issue was noticed on a 2012 version, that I was first testing on, then had the same issue on a 2008 R2. I am currently testing on a 2014 version, that is doing the same thing. Is the logon trigger itself, firing, and causing this?
I also tried using the After Logon option, and got the same issue.
Here is the code:

We just replaced an older Windows 2000 sp4 server with a new Window 2003 Standard Edition sp2 server to run our batch processing. We noticed that when the SQL command times out we now get the following error in the ADO command object error collection.
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite (send()).] General network error. Check you network documentation.
Native Error: 11
SQL State: HY018
msado15.dll version 2.82.3959 is on this server.
On other servers running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp1 the error on the ADO command object is normal with.
Timeout expired
Native Error: 0
SQL State: HYT00
msado15.dll version 2.82.1830 is on this server.
The SQL server they are talking to is on the other side of a firewall. It is SQL 2005 sp2 running on Windows 2000 sp4.
I have also tested this on a Windows 2003 sp2 server that doesn't have to cross a firewall and get the correct Timeout error. It also has the same version of msado15.dll as problem server.
The application is a collection of VB6 Components that are running in COM+ applications. I have isolated the test application to our one SQL interface component and have build a test vbs that can reproduce this on demand. The VB6 Components were not modified in any way for this change and have been working fine for many years prior to this.
All other aspects of our batch processing works as expected. Transactions are working fine. As long as the SQL doesn't timeout everything is normal. DTCPing was used to ensure both servers have correct ports open to allow DTC traffic. Checked the SynAttackProtect setting on SQL and this is not an issue since other clients have no problems.
One point I would like to add is that this new server was initially setup with a temporary server name and then was changed to use the name of the original server on move day. Don't know if this has any impact or not.
We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

SQL Statement.
Adding times together.
I am trying to add a list of times together retrieved from my database.
They are from seperate records in the same table.
They are in a date format e.g. 01-Jan-2006 03:45:00, what I want to do is ignore the 01-Jan-2006 part as well as the :00 AM part and focus on the hours and minutes. I wish to add these up e.g. 03:45 + 04:45 = 08:30. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Hello everyone,
I have an odd issue and I can't seem to figure it out. I am using SQL Server 2005 and I am using Transactions in combination with Try/Catch blocks. My query (executing the stored procedure) never seems to finish the query in query analyzer. I have removed all statements that exectute or select, etc upon the database except for a simple Select 'test' as test so I would have something in my Begin/End blocks. Below is my stored proc:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ar_mainCheckRecon]
@tripID int,
@payment money,
@adjustment money,
@serviceType tinyint,
@checkTpId int,
@checkTlId int,
@checkNbr varchar(20)
AS
BEGINSET NOCOUNT ON;
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRAN select 'test' as test
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
RAISERROR('Error commiting transaction', 16,1)
ROLLBACK TRAN
SELECT '0' as success
END CATCH
COMMIT TRANSELECT '0' as errorCode
END
I call upon the sproc by running this line in query analyzer:
exec ar_mainCheckRecon 433636, 0, 500, 0, 500, 0, 23
Is there something I am overlooking as to why the query keeps running and never stops? My current execution time is at 3 mins accoring to query analyzer!
Thanks,John
When using a SQL Server DateTime column to store just times, e.g. '6:00 PM' I've noticed some weird inconsistency.
If I insert a time in a SQL statement, such as... INSERT INTO myTable (StartTime) VALUES ('6:00 PM')
It winds up going in as '1/1/1900 6:00 PM'. This is okay. This is in fact what I want (unless of course the base day for sql server is in fact 12/30/1899, which is my next question).
If, on the other hand, I insert a time value by hand, using SQL Server Management Studio, then after I insert '6:00 PM' it winds up as '<Today's Date> 6:00 PM', i.e. '1/20/2008 6:00 PM'.
Also, if I insert it using a SQL Parameter, such as...
da.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@StartTime", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8, "StartTime")
...Then, if StartTime is 6:00 PM again, it also winds up going in as '<Today's Date> 6:00 PM'.
Is there a way to control this behavior (other than to programmatically append a base date to the time I'm inserting)?
Finally, what is the base day for SQL Server 2005? Is it 1/1/1900 or 12/30/1899? I think I've seen both.
Thanks!

Anyone know of an easy way to work with datetime columns ignoring the time part.
I want to "group by" the date so it is vital that the time part goes.
But I still want to work with the resulting date as a date (i.e. use date functions) so I would prefer to keep the datetime data type.
Hi
I'm new in SQL. I have a big problem
Database: MSSQL 2000
I have two tables: (results) one with numeric results and one with names (importance_scale)
SELECT * FROM results
name i1 i2 i3 i4 i5
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
john 2 1 2 2 2
anna 0 2 2 2 2
phil 2 2 2 2 2
dave 1 0 2 2 2
SELECT * FROM importance_scale
imp_value imp_name
--------- ------------
2 very important
1 important
0 not important
i1,i2 etc. value it is a imp_value from table 'importance_scale'
I would like to make report which will show all results in this format (in example only first record):
name i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 etc.
----- --- --- --- --- ---
john very important important very important very important very important etc.
I was thinking about using CASE I don't want use cursor. What is the best way?
Thanks for your help
Jeff writes "I am trying to write a query to retrieve information that was processed between two times of the day (2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) from a date range... I am perplexed; I am new to SQL and am trying not to become frustrated, but this seems to be beyond my skill level. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated!"
