I have a client who has a database that they have recently moved to another server. The problem is that the transaction log of the previous version of the database is taking over 21GB of space on the old server. All of the transactions are listed with a status of 2 in the log file. Thus I can not simply shrink the file.
Is there a utility I can use to view the details of the records in the transaction log? I would also need to ensure the data is committed to the database and then change the status so that the transaction log can be shrunk.
This older database will be kept for historical reasons. During the change to the other server only the structure was moved so the data is not in that database.
I am fairly new to SQL Server 2005 and was curious if this was possible.
In my VB applications I always used Begin Transaction, Commit and Rollback to process records. I just found out that I can perform the same functionality in a stored procedure.
So the question is, if I have an order record and four line item records is there anyway to pass all that to the stored procedure as a unit. I can pass the order record as individual parameters but it is the four (or however many) detail records that is the reason for my question. How can I pass the detail records at one time? Can I pass these as an array or a dataset or something else or am I just out of luck? SQL Server 2005 has impressed me a few times already with what you can do and I am really hoping this can be accomplished also.
Is it possible to view the transaction log to identify events run against a database. I know that I could create a trace file to log events. But what I really want to know is whether there is any way to actually view the live .ldf transaction log file and make sense of it.
It is possible to do something similar in Informix.
How can I view the transaction log for a particular database. We are trying to track down when a delete occurred and wanted to look there to find it, unless there is a better place to look.
I am listing detail transaction lines in a table sorted by account and order number. the problem is that I only want to see the detail if the sum of a value field is zero for all the transactions in an order otherwise ignore the detail for that order.
I was trying Group by and Having but this doesn't seem to do what I need.
Being relatively new to Reporting services, any nudge in the right direction would be useful.
I'm new to SQL and need help with a query. Not sure if this is the right place.
I have 2 tables, one MASTER and one DETAIL.
The MASTER table has a masterID, name and the DETAIL table has a detailID, masterID, and value columns.
I want to return a populated MASTER table with entries based on the DETAIL.value.
SELECT MASTER.* FROM MASTER WHERE DETAIL.value > 3
This is a simplified version of my problem. I can't figure out how to set the relationship between MASTER.masterID and DETAIL.masterID. If I do an INNER JOIN, the number of results are based on the number of DETAIL entries. I only want one entry per MASTER entry.
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON Begin distributed Tran update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 COMMIT TRAN
It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx
I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
and
Failed to open a fastload rowset for "[dbo].[P@@#$%$%%%]". Check that the object exists in the database.
I am getting this error :Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.

i have a sequence container in my my sequence container i have a script task for drop the existing tables.

i am getting this error "Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.".
my transations have been done using LINKED SERVER. when i manually call the store procedure from Server 1 it works but when i call it through Service broker it dosen't work and gives me this error.
I am trying to create a function that will run when a job step fails. I want it to dynamically capture the name of the job and insert it into a table that I will use to send email alerts for. The reason I need to do this as opposed to sending an email from the job is that if the alert is not responded to after so many minutes it can be escalated to the next operator. Does anyone know how to dynamically capture the name of the current job being run.
Just want know where can we find the last T-SQL being executed on a process. This is the one that pops-up when we double-clik a process on the Process Info List. Thank You in Advance :-)
I have a invoice that displays the company name in a rectangle on top then it has a list in the list it has details tables my problem is that the invoice detail goes on the next page I need to have the company name as well on the second page I cant put it in the same table as the detail because I have a few tables in the detail so it is actually no header is it possible to have Repeated the Company name information on the next page?
Hello community,I think my problem is easy to solve even though I did not find a solution through different tutorials and help pages. Here it is (select statements are hier simplified):In the gridview "GridView1" I have a master record with person_id, which is the data-key-value. There is also another id-field named task_id (This record comes from a database view which joins the persons- and the tasks- table) SelectCommand="SELECT [id], [person_id], [task_id] FROM [ViewPersonTasks] WHERE ([id] = @id)"For both fields I want to display details in two different detail-views. One for the person (depending on person_id) and one for the tasks (depending on the task_id).The first one is easy. I declare a details-view for the person data based on a SqlDataSource with a control-parameter like this: SelectCommand="SELECT [person_id], [first_name], [last_name], [birth_date] FROM [TabPersons] WHERE ([person_id] = @person_id)" .... <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="GridView1" Name="person_id" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" /> </SelectParameters>But now the problem: how should I declare a parameter @task_id for the task_id, so that the second select statement for the tasks-details-view retrievs the data for the tasks: SelectCommand="SELECT [task_id], [task_name], [task_date], [task_description] FROM [TabTasks] WHERE ([task_id] = @task_id)"@task_id should have the value from the task_id-field of the master record, displayd in the master grid-view.Thank you in advance for your help
I am creating a DTS package to export a text file. My question is: does anyone have any ideas on how for one read of the tables I can produce 2 lines of output. Here is how the file layout needs to be...
HEADER DETAIL HEADER DETAIL HEADER DETAIL
I am a little confused about how I can stagger header and detail using the same data.
I appreciate any help you can give. Hopefully my explanation of the problem is understandable.
HiI've two tablesTableAidnameTableBidtableA_iddescoperAs you can see tableA is a master and tableB is a detail table wherewe can have many records for each related tableA record.I need to get all records for tableA with a count on some oper oftableB.I suppose I can got it with a join or a subselect but I don't use SQLoften so I'm getting crazy with this stupid query...Could somebody help ?Thanks in advanceC
I am trying to create two subreports in the main report. One sub report should give detail data and other sub report shuold give sumamry data. Is detail and summary reports are possible in sub reports? Iappreciate your help on this.
I'd like to put together a summary report for some of my management staff. The report should show the # of jobs that match about 20 different statuses. Each status has different criteria. For example, one might look for a date in a datetime field and the type of job. Another might look at whether a date has passed and the quantity we're shipping.
Sort of like this: Status Items Jobs Status #1: 50000 15 Status #2: 25251 3
I want the user to see this summary information, but also have drill down capability. I'd like the ability to print the summary or just a drill-down.
I'm also considering using Dundas Charts for RS on the report.
Can I accomplish this with Reporting Services? If so, any tips on how to do it? If this a bunch of sub-reports? Can I sum the # of jobs on a sub-report? Should I be looking at BI for this?
I have a bar chart that displays the detail of a table with locations along the x-axis and number of employees on the y-axis. Is there any way to have the sum of all of the locations show as the final bar in the chart? (which would be the footer in the table)
I have two tables(Order and OrderDetail) of master-detail relationship. I have a nchar field in the detail table called itemno. I want to query like:
Select Order.OrderNo, Order.Date, SUM(OrderDetail.ItemNo) as ItemNos,.... From Order Inner Join OrderDetail on Order.OrderID=OrderDetail.OrderID Where Order.OrderID=10
so that the resulting field ItemNos will become a string in format "ItemNo01, ItemNo02, ItemNo03,...." How can I write this query in T-SQL? Thanks

I have quite a few DTS's to work through while analysing current SQL databases for a client. Problem is I can't seem to find a way in SQL (Enterprise Manager) to print the contents of a DTS package. This is quite frustrating in that I have to go an "Design" the package, then click on the properties for each step and copy and paste the contents into Notepad/Wordpad. Surely Microsoft have something to ease the pain?
If anyone can help me on this one, I would be extremely grateful.
Im trying to copy details from a specific header as details of a different header (eg. all sales items from invoice #10 copied as sales items of invoice #11).
So far I have two stored procedures: 1) sp_copyDetailsOne /*Create a recordset of the desired items to be copied*/ CREATE PROCEDURE sp_copyDetailsOne @invoiceIdFrom INT, @outCrsr CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT AS SELECT itemId, itemPrice, itemDescription, itemQuantity FROM tblSalesItems WHERE (invoiceId = @invoiceIdFrom) OPEN @outCrsr
2) sp_copyDetailsTwo CREATE PROCEDURE sp_copyDetailsTwo @invoiceIdFrom INT, @invoiceIdTo INT /*Allocate a cursor variable*/ DECLARE @crsrVar CURSOR
/*Loop through the recordset and insert a new record using the new invoiceId*/ FETCH NEXT FROM @crsrVar WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
/*Run the insert here*/ INSERT INTO tblSalesItems (invoiceId, itemId, itemPrice, itemDescription, itemQuantity) VALUES (@invoiceIdTo , 5, $25.00, N'Black T-Shirt', 30)
/*Fetch next record from cursor*/ FETCH NEXT FROM @crsrVar END
CLOSE @crsrVar DEALLOCATE @crsrVar
My question comes on the Insert of sp_copyDetailsTwo, as you can see the values are hard coded and I want them pulled from the cursor. However I don't know how to do this - do I need varables or can I access the cursor values directly in my VALUES clause? Or is this whole approach needing overhauled. Any advice is welcome.
Hi, can anyone help me? I want to know whether is it possible to insert records simultaneously in both master & detail tables? For elaboration, say there is a master table contains (orderid,orderdate,amount) and details table contains (orderid, productid,qty,price). 1 record of master table associated with n records of details table. Can it be possible to insert both the 1 record at master table with n records in details table in a single sql statement?
Following is a stored procedure that currently runs on the system (compacted version). I need to combine this data with data from another Table .. tblAdjustments. The schema for this table is fairly close to tblShipmentDet.
Result: combine tblShipmentHdr + attached tblShipmentDet records with tblAdjustments records.
Would the best approach be to use a UNION SELECT?
@XToDate datetime = '7/31/2005' ,@XBegDate datetime = '7/1/2005' AS SELECT SHPH.ProductID, SHPH.ReceivedDate, SHPH.ShipmentNo, SHPD.Vendor, SHPD.Quantity, QRecvdDate = CASE WHEN SHPH.ReceivedDate < convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121) THEN NULL ELSE SHPH.ReceivedDate END, QShipQty = CASE WHEN SHPD.TransCd = 'F' THEN NULL WHEN SHPH.ReceivedDate < convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121) THEN NULL ELSE SHPH.ShippingQty END, PROD.ProductName, QOpenAccrual = CASE WHEN MEND.OpeningAccrual is Null THEN 0 ELSE MEND.OpeningAccrual END FROM dbo.tblShipmentHdr SHPH LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblProducts as PROD ON Left(SHPH.ProductID,7) = Left(PROD.ProductID,7) LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblShipmentDet as SHPD ON SHPH.ShipmentID = SHPD.ShipmentID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblMonthend as MEND ON SHPH.ProductID = MEND.ProductID And MEND.MEPeriod = convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121) WHERE ((SHPH.ReceivedDate >= '7/1/2005' AND SHPH.ReceivedDate <= '7/31/2005') OR (SHPD.DatePaid >= '7/1/2005' AND SHPD.DatePaid <= '7/31/2005'))
