Two Questions (email From SQL && Download Contents)
May 18, 2006
Hello All,
Thanks in advance for any help.
On the SQL Server Express 2005 download page there are two large download options:
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
&
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit
Is one a subset of the other? Or, are both unique? Just by reading it appears that the 'Toolkit' is an addition to the 'Express Edition with Advanced Services' ?
Second question is:
Is the any way to send an email(just text) based upon when an item is added to a table? From my reading it appears that Express does not include SQL Mail or Database Mail, so is there some other way to skin the cat? I found XPSMTP, but it appears to be limited to some other versions of SQL Server....
I would like to send the contents of a file using xp_sendmail howeverI do not want the file contents to be an attachment.I have no problem sending the file as an attachement.Can anybody give me an xp_sendmail example of how to do this.The results of a query can easily appear in the body of the email butall myattempts to include the contents of a file in the body of the emailhave not worked.TIA
I have outlook 2013 installed on my machine, I want to automate the download of an attachment which I receive on daily basis from noreply@test.com. I have created a rule in outlook to reroute these mails in a specific folder named Received_Test.Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them.
Question 1: SQL TimeOut Error I get this when i run my program and when it happens the program no longer displays data from the database. When i restart the program it seems to work fine. Is there away to fix this or at least make a message to the user telling them to restart the program?
Question 2: Can I e-mail form info to myself? I want the user to be able to fill a form and click submit and have it emailed to myself. how can i go about doing that?
{Edit}The Below is for a different project Question 3: Picture Box' and SQL Can I make it so the user a browse for a picture as his Avatar or Just his Picture and the save it to the Database again?
ie Fill In This Form To Complete Registration: Picture: {Pic Box Goes Here} [Browse] Name: Date of Birth: (at this point im going to stop)
Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.

2. If I own a legal copy of SQL 7 with 5 cals, can I legally use SQL MSDE and have more than 5 people access my SQL server or am I also limited to 5 users as my original ??
Can anyone advise me of a convenient way to make a copy of a database in SQL2005. I need to make a complete copy - including all Stored procedures, functions tables and table contents. I want the place the copy ont he sae SQL server but obviously under a different name.
I have a table with about 2 million records. One of the fields has data seperated by a comma. I need to be able to grap the data for each record and split those items into their own table in seperate rows. This is easy in Asp but the page will timeout before it can process all the records. Any Ideas? Thanks,Rick

Hi all, I have built a Disaster Recovery Site for my DB.on periodic basis, trn files from production server reach DR server and DR setup will apply them locally.
If the flow is smooth then no issues, if one of the file does not reach DR the entire setup will halt for the want of the file and I dn't have any means to know which file is missing.
Both my production and DR site located remotely behind firewalls, i.e i can't physically access the servers or remotely login to the server.
Can anyone tell me how to see the contents in a folder in the server using SQL query .
Is there a way to mask the contents of a cell or column? I have a table that stores passwords and I would like to mask the password much like Access does with asterisks. I know I can restrict the column based on user but that creates other problems on the frontend.
I have a series of records, that are displayed as contents in a .NET application,i know i can order the items to be dynamic, i.e I set the top item in the contents, However I know this will get quite messy at the application level.
I would like to set up the default if I insert an item, into the table to make it the last in the list, select max(ordernum) + 1, i guess?
How can I set an on insert constraint, or what its called for this in SQL Server?
I am storing data temporarily in a database... and periodically needto update that huge database, so just has to copy that temp DB to theoriginal one.Using sql may take a few hours to finish this operation. I think youcan do "export" from temp database into a file and "import" into thehuge database. That will be binary data exort and import and hencewill be faster. But, I am not sure if all databases will support thatthough.So, is there any other solution?
Hi,I have a SELECT FROM TABLE query and in that table there is a field of typeimage. Result of this select goes throug internet do its destination.

I have a report that has a snapshot enabled. I made some changes to my report and redeployed it, but when I view the report from the Report Manager web site the old version is getting used. Apparently the snapshot includes the rdl and the data and not just the data. Can anyone else confirm this? If this is the case, a new snapshot must be created after the report format is modified.
I have two questions. 1) As you know it's possible to get information about models by using the schema rowsets in c#. I wondered that it is possible to get datasource and datasource views contents programmatically? And if you have some pieces of code please write here.
2) In the topic http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/ssdm/Default.aspx?tabid=61&Id=6 it says that visio can help us to draw algorithms visual outputs. Could anyone send me or paste the links of screenshots of sucessful rendering.
3) i have an error in my sql server management studio. It gives an error message whenever i clicked on an of menu items in the left pane.(www.ahmetselman.com/error.jpg) in this url you can see my screenshot. Has anyone here, faced this problem? Why i got this error?
Hi, I am relatively new to this stuff. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00) Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life) Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Hello, Its hard trying to explain this. I have 3 tables Table 1 is where the users are stored, each user has a username and a userrank Table 2 is where the points that decides the userrank are stored Table 3 contains the available userranks like this
Table 1 (user_list) looks briefly like this:username nvarchar(20),userrank int, -- Reference to Table3 id... alot more fields Table 2 (settings_profile) looks like this:username nvarchar(20),total_active_points int,... some more fields Table 3 (data_ranks) looks like this:id int primary key auto inc,rankname nvarchar(20),min_pts int,max_pts int
Points get added to table 2 whenever they do something that generates points on the site. Points also get withdrawn every 7 days, so a user can only collect points for 7 days, on the 8th day, all points he earned on the 1st day is reduced from the current points with this code: WHILE (SELECT @username = username, @id = id, @temp1 = ap_sentmails, @temp2 = ap_createdthreads, @temp3 = ap_createdanswers, @temp4 = ap_signguestbook, @temp5 = ap_blogcomment, @temp6 = ap_createblogentry, @temp7 = ap_profilefirsttime, @temp8 = ap_profilephoto, @temp9 = ap_activateguestbook, @temp10 = ap_addnewfriend, @temp11 = ap_superguruvote, @temp12 = ap_forumtopicvote, @temp13 = ap_labervote, @temp14 = ap_funstuffitemvote, @temp15 = ap_movievote, @temp16 = ap_actorvote, @temp17 = ap_money_new WHERE (created < Dateadd(dd, -7, @todaysdate))BEGINSET @sum = 0SET @sum = @temp1 + @temp2 + @temp3 + @temp4 + @temp5 + @temp6 + @temp7 + @temp8 + @temp9 + @temp10 + @temp11 + @temp12 + @temp13 + @temp14 + @temp15 + @temp16 + @temp17UPDATE settings_profile SET total_active_points = total_active_points - @sum WHERE (username = @username)DELETE FROM konto_daylist WHERE (id = @id)END Now my question is this, i want to loop thru the table A, collect all usernames inside of it, then run it against table b and table c to determine the current rank of the user.Something like this... DECLARE @username nvarchar(20)DECLARE @pts int, @rank int ...something that starts a loop thru table A (user_list) and get the username into @username... SELECT @pts = total_active_points FROM settings_profile WHERE (username = @username)-- Determine the rank here, by compairing the points the user have against the pointstabel in table data_ranksSELECT @rank = id FROM data_ranks WHERE (pts_min => @pts AND pts_max < @pts)UPDATE user_list SET rank = @rank WHERE (username = @username) ...next persion in the loop... This SP runs once a day and will first reduce the points from 8days ago, then it will run thru all the users and determine their new rank... But how do i loop thru all the users? with a cursor?
Hi, For some reason I can't use the edit, update or insert features on my remote shared server, so I am looking to create a web page that has text boxes on it, that I can enter data into, that will be saved into my database.
This is opposed to entering the data directly into the database itself. I want to be able to use a webpage, for simply adding new data, and saving it so that the new data updates and saves over the top of the old data. What are the steps involved in doing this? Any example code for just one text box would be appreciated, I could then extend it to suit my needs. Tia.
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.
There will be three levels of data imposed at the Application Layer
Level 1: ParentID = 0 An Item Like Geography Level 2: ParentID = a Level 1 WikiID A sub Topic like Volcanoes Level 3: ParentID = Level 2 WikiID A bottom Topic like Pyroclastic Flows
I Need a SQL statement that Will Produce the Output where The output will be produced like this: Level 1 Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Level 2
I Built this but its wrong and has no order by Group by Statements Select * from WikiData where ParentID = 0 or ParentID IN (Select * from WikiData where ParentID = 0)
