Hello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?
I have column with value of all upper case, for example, FIELD SERVICE, is there anyway, I can convert into Field Service?
View 7 Replies View RelatedOur sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?
An IBM Global Services consultant is telling my client that in order to have SAP BI read any data from any other application supported by SQL Server 2005, that all tables and fields MUST be in UPPER CASE. This would mean that SAP BI could not read ANY data from AdventureWorks (which everyone needs ) but more importantly from 95% of applications written and stored on SQL Server. I find this to be ludicrious, frankly, but don't know how to find out if it is true. Anyone?

Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.

Ho can I convert first letters of a string to Upper Case (i.e. UNITED KINGDOM - Untited Kingdom). I have country names table which has all entries in uper case. This makes a select box very larg and unproportional.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a problem. I need to rename all columns of a database to uppercase. Since SQL SERVER 2005 does not support changing system tables is there a smooth way to do this? Has anyone ideas for a script? point me to the right direction.
I have found the stored procedure sp_rename which could be useful (or would it be better to alter the tables)...
So any help would be appriciated very much...

Almost all of our character fields are stored in upper-case. Is there an easy way to force SQL Server char and varchar fields to upper-case? Something I can do in SQL Server instead of in the client? It needs to apply to any new records.
There are some exceptions (email addresses for one). I don't mind going through each field and changing something.
Thanks!
hi i want to select * from table1 where name =petter?now if there is many type of petter in table linke PETTER , Petter And petter which record will come in display?if i want all this three (PETTER,Petter,petter) will come in display which command is for this ??? regard

A and a
But when i try to:
select * from tableA where col = 'a'
then all record with A and a will be selected, any way to avoid it and select only record with col ='a'?
While creating a table, can we default a column to be UPPER. So that even if we insert a lower case, it should be converted to UPPER case.

I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to create Server wide UDFs? We have alot functions that are spread across multiple databases and its time consuming going around databases looking for them. What would be nice is to create functions at the server level which can be accessed within any database, like the GETDate() function.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering what more experienced DBAs have observed with regard to the capacity of a MSSQL DB. Is there an upper threshold of rows where performance becomes unacceptable? I have a fairly slow, but constant input rate of approximately 2,000 rows every 60 seconds or so (that is a little high, but I'm interested in worse case scenario here). That is up 172,800 rows a day. (I'm being overly pessimistic here.) We'd like to be able to keep all of this around as long as possible.
Or would a more heavy duty DB be in order for these sorts of data rates?
One of our database is approaching the gigabyte size. I know that microsoft claims to support terabyte databases with sql server 7.0. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the max size of database they have used on an OLTP site without running into problems. ofcourse with SQL Server.

I am trying to import this years worth of failed logins and last successful login for each user out of the logs using master.dbo.xp_readerrorlog. The script essentially loops through the linked servers I have on my DBA box and reaches out for the log data. It works, but here is the error I am getting on most of our production servers:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 17
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I know how to enable distributed transactions on the servers that error out, but if it is not needed for anything other then my audit script, I doubt the business will approve me turning on distributed transactions at those locations (so I am not even going to ask).
I am attempting to setup a singular audit .rdl with the information I want to review quarterly.

Morning forum,
I'm having a problem to which I'm sure the answer is simple...
All I want is a list of databases on my server with their allocated size and the free space within. Something similar to the first table that sp_spaceused gives you but on a server wide scale.
As I say, I'm sure there's a simple solution out there, but alas Google has failed me.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
Our development team wanted to create a database user for each application user in the application and use these for granular data access control, which at first, sounded like a good idea but our initial testing ran into some interesting results.
Our target user base was about 15 million users with an estimated 1% concurrency rate, and finding no MS documentation on an upper limit to the number of users a database can have we began some load testing to see how the database performed. In the hundreds of thousands of users range our test database had a hard time performing well under light loads (even without any concurrent connections).
When we purged the users and reverted back to just a handful of service accounts, performance went back to "normal" under the same loads. I began to wonder if this is a situation where throwing more hardware at the problem would overcome the issue or if there is a practical upper limit to the number of users a single database can handle well.
(There were of course other cons to this arrangement and I certainly was never going to expand the users tree in the object explorer for a database like this, but we thought it a solution worth investigating.)
What is the largest number of users any of you have had in a single database?
How can I change my T-SQL text editor from text sensitive to text insensitive?

We need to install CI database on CS server, and there are some issueswith stored procedures.Database works and have CI collation (Polish_CI_AS). Server hascoresponding CS collation (Polish_CS_AS). Most queries and proceduresworks but some does not :-(We have table Customer which contains field CustomerID.Query "SELECT CUSTOMERID FROM CUSTOMER" works OK regardless ofcharacter case (we have table Customer not CUSTOMER)Following TSQL generate error message that must declare variable @id(in lowercase)DECLARE @ID INT (here @ID in uppercase)SELECT @id=CustomerID FROM Customer WHERE .... (here @id in lowercase)I know @ID is not equal to @id in CS, but database is CI and tablenames Customer and CUSTOMER both works. This does not work forvariables.I suppose it is tempdb collation problem (CS like a server collationis). I tried a property "Identifier Case Sensitivity" for myconnection, but it is read only and have value 8 (Mixed) by default -this is OK I think.DO I MISS SOMETHING ????

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs a table 45 columns wide too wide? Most of the data is very small( check boxes, one word fields etc.) I have one giant form that needs to be filled out and uploaded to the database. I don't want to fragment the table too much because it will be a pain to update it. This table will have to be searched, that's why I am concerned with the width. I am hoping that an index would help out and would provide enough performance that I can keep a wide table.

ok, i have been charged with the task of searching a server that houses 50-60 client databases. all databases are identical, created from a prototype. i have discovered an issue whereby one of the clients db is missing a required sproc. they now want me to check all db's to see if anyone else is missing the sproc or not. i have a UN and PASS to login to the server that houses all db's. is there a method for me to query all db's at once and check for the sproc? or will i have to go through them all manually (which could become quite time consuming as there are so many db's, and quite a large number of sprocs in each. the sprocs seem to be listed in a semi-random order in each db as well)
thanks all
I'm working on a system that is very address-centric and detection ofduplicate addresses is very important. As a result we have brokenaddresses down into many parts (DDL below, but I've left out somereference tables for conciseness), these being state, locality, street,street number, and address. The breakdown is roughly consistent withAustralian addressing standards, we're working on finalising this.Because we carry the primary key down each of the levels, this hasresulted in our address table having a very wide primary key (around170 characters). We refer to addresses from a number of other tablesand although my instinct is to use this natural key in the other tablesI wonder if we should just put a unique index on the natural key,create a surrogate primary key and use it in the other table. Anythoughts?CREATE TABLE dbo.States (StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,StateName varchar (50) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_AddressStates PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED(StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.Localities (Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_Localities PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED(Locality,StateID,Postcode),CONSTRAINT FK_AddressLocalities_AddressStates FOREIGN KEY(StateID) REFERENCES dbo.States (StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.Streets (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_Streets PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode),CONSTRAINT FK_Streets_Localities FOREIGN KEY(Postcode,Locality,StateID) REFERENCES dbo.Localities (Postcode,Locality,StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.StreetNumbers (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,StreetNumber varchar (15) NOT NULL ,BuildingName varchar (100) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_StreetNumbers PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber),CONSTRAINT FK_StreetNumbers_Streets FOREIGN KEY(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode) REFERENCES dbo.Streets (StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode))CREATE TABLE dbo.Addresses (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,StreetNumber varchar (15) NOT NULL ,AddressTypeID varchar (6) NOT NULL ,AddressName varchar (20) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_StreetNumberPrefixes PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber,AddressTypeID,AddressName),CONSTRAINT FK_Addresses_StreetNumbers FOREIGN KEY(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber) REFERENCES dbo.StreetNumbers (StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber))

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I have a requirement as follows:->
I have a table like below
EMPLOYEEID------- OWNS
********** ****
1-----------------car
1-----------------house
1-----------------dog
2-----------------house
3-----------------car
3-----------------bus
3-----------------shop
3-----------------hotel
3-----------------theater
3-----------------casino
Requirement:
I wanted to create another table based on the column values. For eg: I have to take the employee id and check for what value he has under owns column in the table. I take only 3 values and then these values should go to the newly created columns (owns1, owns2,owns3).
if there is no value for any of these columns it should have null values loaded in them.
The result of the modification should look like this:->
EMPLOYEEID-------OWNS1------OWNS2------OWNS3
*********** ***** ***** *
1-----------------car--------house------dog
2-----------------house------Null-------Null
3-----------------car--------Bus--------shop
Note: eventhough employeeid 3 owns more than 3 things we only take 3 of what he owns and populate to above coloumns.
In addition to it, the column OWNS will have more than 500 different values in them.
Its kind of urgent and if anyone knows how to , Can you please help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
