URGENT HELP PLS: Select Substring('NY',status/1024&&1+1,1) From Master..sysdatabases Where Name=DB_NAME()
Jul 20, 2005
Hi Everyone,
All the very best for 2004!!
i need urgent help with this problem, the users are about to skin me
alive!!
we have an access front end with linked to sql server 2k tables.
when a user tries to insert a record into one of the tables it
"randomly" returns a generic ODBC error and fails to save. on other
occasions the same record will save.
a trace was applied and the following select seemed to appear right
after the insert statement whenever it failed:
select substring('NY',status/1024&1+1,1) from master..sysdatabases
where name=DB_NAME()
i had a look at other articles in the groups re this select statement,
but could not find a clear answer.
i have tried the insert statements as both SQL pass throughs and just
plain docmd.runsql's
can someone help me with the following:
* what is the purpose of the select?
* what other investigations can i do to get more info on why this
should be happening?
* how can i stop it?
the table i am doing the inserts into is showing as have a numeric
data type field in sqlserver, but the linked table shows this numeric
field as text - could this be the problem?? this field is not used in
the insert statement.
i could not find any references in the MS knowledge base.
any and all help would very gratefully received.

I need to know the meaning of the status bit in sysdatabases because BOL only reports some of them.
For SQL 7.0 SP1 I have some database with a status bit equal to 0 (zero) and equal to 12.
For SQL 2000 SP2 I have some database with a status bit equal to 0 (zero),24,20 and 1073741840.
So I would really appreciate if someone can explain the meaning of these status bits.
Thank you very much.

Hi folks,
In SQL 7 when you query
select name, crdate from sysdatabases where name like 'xxx3%'
You get a reply with the rows of matching databases in sysdatabases. But in SQL 2000 the same command throws an error saying that the object sysdatabases is wrong. Here is the modified command
select name, crdate from master.dbo.sysdatabases where name like 'xxx3%'
Now my problem is I can include the latest piece of code and go further. But my older version of product will have this problem and will fail. Is there anyway that I can dothis on SQL 2000 to be compatible with my old product.
regards,
mahesh,

For whatever reason, the following when executed does not take the context of the supplied Database name. Any ideas as to why? More importantly is there a work around. I am trying to create a database level batch job.
declare @sql nvarchar(100)
set @sql = 'USE Northwind'
print @sql
EXEC sp_executesql @sql

I have a table which has a field called Org. This field can be segmented from one to five segments based on a user defined delimiter and user defined segment length. Another table contains one row of data with the user defined delimiter and the start and length of each segment. e.g.
Table 1
Org
aaa:aaa:aa
aaa:aaa:ab
aaa:aab:aa
Table 2
delim
Seg1Start
Seg1Len
Seg2Start
Seg2Len
Seg3Start
Seg3Len
:
1
3
5
3
9
2
My objective is to use SSIS and derive three columns from the one column in Table 1 based on the positions defined in Table 2. Table 2 is a single row table. I thought perhaps I could use the substring function and nest the select statement in place of the parameters in the derived column data flow. I don't seem to be able to get this to work.
Any ideas? Can this be done in SSIS?
I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone might have.
Regards,
Bill

I have a product table and my task is to select only the products that had been paid for, but later their status has been changed.
I need to report the original paid date, the most recent status, and most recent updated date. Here is the sample table:
CREATE TABLE #Products (primKey int, productId int, productName varchar(100), productStatus varchar(50), logDate datetime )
Insert into #Products(primKey, productId, productName, productStatus, logDate)
Values
(1, 201, 'pen', 'received', '01/01/2011'),
(2, 201, 'pen', 'sold', '01/02/2011'),
(3, 201, 'pen', 'paid', '01/03/2011'),
(4, 201, 'pen', 'returned', '01/04/2011'),
(5, 201, 'pen', 'refurbished', '01/05/2011'),
(6, 202, 'pencil', 'received', '01/06/2011'),
(7, 202, 'pencil', 'sold', '01/07/2011'),
(8, 202, 'pencil', 'paid', '01/08/2011'),
(9, 201, 'pen', 'sold', '01/09/2011'),
(10, 201, 'pen', 'paid', '01/10/2011')
/* temp table records */
Select * From #Products order by productId
/* The desired outcomes would be showing only the Record 3 and 10.
This is a "fake" query to get the results:
*/
Select * From #Products Where primKey in (3, 10) order by productId

Here is my requirement
Table 1 Order
order ID, Sales order ID order date, order type
Table 2 Order details
Order Details ID, Order ID, Order Stage
Table 3 Related Order details
Order ID(FK to Order ID), Related Order Details ID(FK to Order Details ID), Related Order ID( FK to Order ID)
Here is example
Table 1 Order
1, 1234, 2015-01-01, Refill
2, 1234, 2015-02-02, Extension
Table 2 Order Details
1, 1, Approved
2, 1, Approved
3, 2, Rejected
Table 3 Related Order Details
2, 1, 1
2, 2, 1
I have to Select Order, Order Details and Order Status
Order Status is determined from Order Stage as follows:
If, at least one order detail line(from Order Details and Related Order details table) is approved, that Order status=Approved.
For the example, Order Status of Order ID=2, is Approved based on order status for order details lines 3(from table 2) and order details ID 1 and 2 (from table 3)
How to combined order stage from table 2 and table 3 and then compute order status.

I want to customize database maintenance to run only on selected databases based on their status in sys.databases, without having to statically select them in the GUI.
I'm trying to write an SSIS package that will do the following:
1. Query for a list of databases that are not read-only or recovering, etc.
2. Perform database maintenance tasks (e.g., rebuild indexes) on those databases.
I'm doing this because the database maintenance tasks do not provide a way to select databases based on criteria or a SQL query filter.
My package includes an Execute SQL task to get the list of databases, a Foreach loop container to loop through the databases, and then...this is where I get stuck. I can't use the existing maintenance tasks (Rebuild Index, Update Statistics, etc.) because I don't know how to provide an input variable for the list of databases. I'd rather not write dynamic SQL to generate commands for each database object.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks much.
David

Hi ALL
I have a server with 50 databases all the same with different data but the same structure, is there a way to update a table in multiple databases using the sysdatabases to get the relevant database names from?
I imagine it would have to be a cursor to do this? I checked thru the Search feature but could not find any info on this topic is it possible?
Cheers
Phil

Hi evrybody,
For some reason unbeknownst to me the column 'suid' in the sysdatabases table has a value of <NULL>. I need to change that, however that can't be done directly (column can't be updated) and using stored proc to change the dbowner has no effect on that value, although it is related to the dbowner.
Any ideas will be welcomed, because I am at a dead end now.
Thanx

I have a strange question and hope someone can shed some light on theproblem.First let me give you my scenario. We are using doubletake to replicate ourdatabase server files between the local site and off site. I will namethese servers srv1a (local) and srv1b (remote). It now time to move to newservers. These servers will be srv2a (local) and 2b (remote).Currently srv1a replicates to srv1b. The sqlserver service is off on srv1b.It is only replicating the database files. Works great.Now the problem. srv1a and srv1b have all the logs and data files on thed: drive. On the new servers (2a and 2b) we will place the log files one: and the data files on f:. This is the case for all databases exceptthe system databases, which will reside all ldf and mdf on f:.In order to move to the new servers, as a test we began replicating to srv1ato svr2a. It placed all the system dbs on srv2a d: drive and all otherfiles in the new structure (e: and f:). There is some work that you mustdo to move the master, msdb, model, and temp to the new location (change thestartup parameters and detaching and reattaching some other databases). Allthis works great and we have everything up and running.As part of a sanity check, I ran the following statementsselect name, filename from master..sysdatabases where name = 'master'GOexec sp_helpdb master.GOresults arename filenamemaster d:Microsoft SQLServerMSSQLdatamaster.mdf(1 row(s) affected)name db_size owner dbid createdmaster 22.00 MB sa 1 Aug 6 2000 Status=ONLINE,name fileid filenamefilegroup size maxsize growth usagemaster 1 F:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamaster.mdfPrimary 19072 KB Unlimited 10% data onlymastlog 2 F:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamastlog.ldfNULL 3456 KB Unlimited 10% log onlyIf you notice that sysdatabases table is showing the master files on D: butsp_help is showing on F: F: is the correct location. Also my startparameters is-dF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamaster.mdf-lF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamastlog.ldf-eF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDataERRORLOGAny ideas why the two are not showing the same thing? Everything is workingfine and all other databases (sp_helpdb) is correct and sp_helpfile masteris showing the same thing as sp_helpdb master. Since I though sp_helpdb wasquerying sysdatabases, I am confused as to why this is happening.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.

Hey there, could someone please help me!!
I had created a database in sql server but since then installed windows xp pro and now when i go through the microsoft sql server dsn configuration the database is not valid and therefore i cannot change the default database as it says it doesn't exist.
So then when i type in command prompt use 'db' it says it doesn't exist but when i try to create 'db' it says that the database already exists.
I get the error message, could not locate entry in sysdatabases for 'cti' (database name).
When i look in mysql - data - along with master etc there is my cti.mdf and log files??
I'm stuck???
Is it that the files just aren't registering through sql server???
Please help!

This is kind of a long story. I needed to copy a db from server "a" to server "b". I copied across our network, so SQL Server didn't know about the files. Then I wanted to use the device file(s) for the "new" db. So I created another directory with the same name and overlaid the empty device file with the one I copied from server a. Of course, when I opened EM it showed the db as "suspect". So I wanted to flip the status flag in sysdatabases to '0' so SQL server would think it was OK, and would make it available. But you also have to 'allow ad-hoc updates', which I did, but each time I stop and start sql server it stil shows the db as "suspect".
Here's the code :
update sysdatabases
set status = 0
where name = 'RAS'
Does anyone out there know what I can do to fix this db?
TIA! Bob S.

Yesterday, literally I was banging my head to the wall, kept getting this error:
A Connection could not be established with the information provided. Hit OK to change your connection settings.
Invalid object name 'sysdatabases'.
I uninstall and re-install back the reporting services couple times and I kept getting the same error.
I have 2 instances of SQL Server on the same Server:
SQL Server 2000
SQL Server 2005
The 2 instances work side by side, I was wondering if this causing the error.
Can anyone help out with this problem?
Thanks - John

I have two tables with the following data:
TableA: Serial_No
A
B
C
TableB: Serial_No
A
B
I need to retrieve the Serial_No in TableA but does not exist in TableB, in this case, data is "C".
I have tried the following Select statements:
1.
Select TableA.SerialNo
From TableA
Where TableA.SerialNo IN
(SELECT TableA.SerialNo
From TableB
Where TableA.SerialNo <> TableB.SerialNo )
2.
Select Distinct TableA.SerialNo
From TableA
Join TableB on
TableA.SerialNo <> TableB.SerialNo
However, the two statement gives me all data, i.e., A,B,C.
How should I discard the unwanted row?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

I need a hand in this script.
SELECT a.id ,value = CASE
when (x1-x0) = 0 then
((Y2-Y0)-(Y1-Y0))/(0.000000001*(X2-X0))

((-111.48277-Y0)-(Y1-Y0))/((X1-X0)*(32.72383-X0))
END
FROM table_name a
where value > 0
ORDER BY VALUE
The problem I'm having is in the where clause. Because the value is not a column name sql server is giving me an error. I need to evaluate the value returned. How can I get around this problem? Any sort of advise will help!
Thank you in advance!
