Hello All,
DDL Statements:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] (
[MyDate] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I have a varchar column which represents dates in YYYYMMDD and MM/DD/YY
formats. If I query using:
SELECT MyDate FROM Table1
WHERE DOB LIKE '________'
Why aren't the dates in MM/DD/YY returned ? Is the / a special
character in T-SQL ?
Thanks in advance
im having trouble getting this to work:
alter proc [ProGeneral_College_Structure] @Year nvarchar(4)
as
begin
DECLARE @SQLStatement nvarchar(1000)
Set @SQLStatement = 'SELECT School AS Level1Code, DIVISIONS.Div AS Level2Code,
DIVISIONS.ProgArea AS Level3Code, DIVISIONS.progName AS LevelName
, ' + SUBSTRING(@Year,1,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(@Year,3,2) + ' AS AcademicYearID FROM DIVISIONS
WHERE (((DIVISIONS.[' + @Year + '])=1))
ORDER BY DIVISIONS.School, DIVISIONS.Div, DIVISIONS.ProgArea'
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
end
It's something to do with the / concatenation I think, is it an escape character or something tried // obviously and CHAR(47).
before I get comments I know it's dynamic sql and it's not great but I can't edit the divisions table so have to use a dynamic column.
Hi,
I have the following expression:
@[User::varLogFolder] +"\"+ "CollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog.txt"
but when I evaluated it I get:
\testteamserverMigrationLog\CollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog.txt
As you can see I�m trying to create a folder but it keeps the double slash, how can I fix it?
thanks.
well the real expression is:
@[User::varLogFolder] +"\"+ @[System:ackageName] +"\"+replace(replace(@[User::varFilesCollect],"\","" ),".","")+"\"+"CollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog.txt"
and the error is because:
[CollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog [4712]] Information: The processing of file "\testteamserverMigracionLog\PCKG_BH_COLLECT estteamservermigraciondatamcli010001rxaCollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog.txt" has started.
the yellow characters are the conflict!!

I have a Foreach loop that dynamically builds a query that gets submitted to a Progress 9.1d database. The "SELECT" portion of the query is static - the WHERE clause is built dynamically each pass through the for each loop. The vast majority of the columns have a dash ("-") in their names, so the query passed to progress has to have double quotes surrounding the column names. Not a big deal you would think. If I am retrieving 3 columns, my string would look like "SELECT ""manager-name"", ''"employee-name"", ""date-of-hire"" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable" - with the columns requiring quoted identifiers escaped with double quotes. My script task adds some additional info to the WHERE clause based on other conditions. Once my script task has built the query string, it assigns that string value to my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable.
I can put a MsgBox() call in the Script task to display my query once it has been built (displaying Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value) - and it looks fine. Using the above example, it would simply be: SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name", "date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
So - My foreach loop is set up so that the query command is pulled from my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable. It fails anytime my query has a column that requires quotes around it. I was confused, since I could take the exact query string displayed by my test MsgBox() and validate it's syntax against our Progress database (and even run it) and it worked fine.
So - I then inserted a breakpoint to break on PreExecute for the DataReader task (next task after Scrip task) to view the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable just before it gets assigned to the DataReader's Sql Command property. That's when I noticed that the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") in the Watch window actually showed that the "double" double quotes I had entered in the SELECT clause (to escape to one double quote) were being replaced with " (slash quote). SO - in the Watch window, my Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value reads as follows:
SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name","date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
Obviously, that query is not going to fly via SQL-92/ODBC connection to our Progress database. I've tried everything I can think of - even trying to replace "" with "" in the Foreach expression editor where the Sql Command of the data reader gets assigned. I'm at a total loss. Why would SSIS plug in what looks like C# character escaping syntax when all the expressions are supposed to be VB.NET? I've already successfully run several packages that query our Progress databases that do NOT use the double quotes in the SELECT clause and they work fine. Does anyone have any ideas??
I have data that looks like this:
CAT_DOG
MICE_CAT
RABBIT_DOG
LION_MICE
I want a select clause that will give me just this:
CAT
MICE
RABBIT
LION
Hi friends,
I got troubles when I tried to pass table name to sp_columns via
@local_variable:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'TB_MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
result of such script is:
TABLE_QUALIFIER ...[skipped]
-----------------------------------
(0 row(s) affected)
But if I will say:
exec sp_columns 'TB_MyTable'
result will be correct (all neccessary data about columns will be provided)
So, looks like if I pass table name which contains underscore via
@local_variable or SP parameter - result will be wrong.
If table name won't contains underscore - everything works fine and result
of script:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
will be absolutely correct.
Please, anybody can clarify this situation ???
Thanks in advance,
Michael
I'm attempting to doing a search of the db for all name entries with the underscore character "_".
I use %_% and get all the entries.
What am I doing wrong?
Help .... thanks!
In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?
I have made a stored procedure, it makes successfully when created, but when I open it in modify, there is a red underscore under the procedure name.
When I place the courser over the red underscore, the massage is "Invalid object name"

Create table FileNames (fileName varchar(40))
insert into FileNames values ('this_is_a_long_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('this_is_an_even_longer_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('short_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('supershort.ext')
What I want returned is:
this_is_a_long
this_is_an_even_longer
short
supershort
I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.
Thank you in advance

Hi Gurus,
How do I write a T-SQL function for a string before a underscore is found?
Thanks Gurus.
I have data like ABC_Tablename_12345, i just want everything before and after _ also if there is no underscore in the name just return the name.

I am attempting to duplicate a nifty feature that one of my colleagues used:
We have parameters where a user can select a client or an individual account. There are available values for each parameter from two queries. I tried to have the available values in the account list dependent on the user's selection in the client list by passing the client parameter's value to the query for the account data set and using it in a where clause, but I get a "forward dependency" error.
The weird thing is that my colleague tried the same strategy and it worked. We together tried to set my report up the same as his, but cannot find why his works and mine doesn't. Any ideas?
His report works when deployed from my machine, so there must be something in the actual report that is different...
Hello all - I am trying to come up with a reasonable solution to an intermittent network. Specifically, I have a SQL Server 2005 installation that receives data from a client across a wireless network via OLE-DB. There are times when the network connection may not be available, and I would like to buffer the transaction (somehow!) locally, and then have it passed to the database upon re-establishing connectivity.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to go back 1 record?
I know how to go forward 1 record:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM MyTable
WHERE [id] > 27
ORDER BY [id]
This will select the record with the id 28, if id 28 does not exist, then it will select the next available id.
however, then I try:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM MyTable
WHERE [id] < 27
ORDER BY [id]
It goes to the very first record in the table, becuase it selecting the TOP 1 record, How do I only go back 1 record, eg. id 26.
I assume that MS has a directive never to change the format of SSIS raw files...
However, what I'd like to know is that when I'm planning long-term systems where I've got backups of data (staging, logging, whatever) using raw files, can I be assured that future versions of SSIS will be able to read those raw files?
I assume a certain level of backwards compatibility, however, I'm just curious if I should think about building processes into my projects that would factor that in and rebuild raw files everytime a new/major release of SSIS comes out.

Hello, we are trying to find a way to send all SQL traffic from multiple machines in a DMZ trough only one point. This way the firewall doesn't need to be opened to each and every machine.
This may be a simple question but I have never done it before. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
When you restore a backup from a point in time, how do you then knowwhich transaction ID to start with when you want to roll forward fromthat point in time to another point in time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to set a Report Parameter on a field. The Report Parameter is called 'filter'. In the statement I put the Report Parameter in the WHERE-part:

I am trying to get Event Forwarding to work between two SQL 2000 servers. Both are running SQL 2000 Enterprise SP4 and Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2. I am managing them from my local desktop running XP. I have both servers registered in Enterprise Mgr.
<Server XInstance Z> (named instance) is the server on which I have a MAPI client installed and configured along with SQL Operators and SQL Alerts. <Server Y> (default instance) is the server from which I want to forward events > Sev 17.
<Server XInstance Z> is set up to receive error msgs 9002 and 1105 and email operators that either a log is out of space or a data file is out of space. It has been verified on <Server XInstance Z> that it will send locally generated errors to the operators correctly.
<Server Y> is set to forward to <Server XInstance Z> any event that is sev 17 or greater. However, when I simulate an 1105 on <Server Y> I get this error msg in its Application Event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT

Description:
Unable to open the eventlog on forwarding server '<Server XInstance Z>' (reason: Sockets error 11004).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I figured this may be due to the fact that SQLAgent is trying to forward a Windows event to another Windows server running SQL but there is no default instance of SQL Server. So I thought I would add a bogus entry to my Enterprise Manager that was just <Server X> with no instance name. Obviously, EM failed to connect but asked if I wanted to register anyway. I chose Yes. So I was then able to change the server in Forward To on <Server Y> to <Server X>.
That actually worked and it began forwarding error messages to to <Server X>. But the error messages are going to the System error log as opposed to the Application error log where I need for them to go. This is the message from the System error log on <Server X>:

I have a client that I provide financial modelling services to (using Excel). They have a requirement to start capturing subscriber movements in their SQL DB. how the table should be set-up and how to extract the necessary movements report. This is largely so that I may include these components in some of the financial models that I am working on.
Subscribers are reported as follows:
Opening subs (the prior periods closing balance; or the sum of new sales at point of 1st entry)
+ New Sales (new subs)
+ Upgrades (movement from a lower product package to the associated package)
- Downgrades (movement to a lower product package from the associated package)
- Churn (subscriber losses)
Closing Balance
All transactions are captured against a specific product package, on a specific date (ymd), and for an associated platform (e.g. digital TV, broadband TV, cable TV).
I believe we only need to capture new sales, upgrades, downgrades and churn. And then used a SP to compile the movements behaviour as described above.
So perhaps the table would appear as follows:
Platform
Package
Date
Movement
Value
DTV
PROD 1
2014-11-02
New Sales
8
DTV
PROD 1
2014-11-02
Upgrades
1
[code]....
So I am assuming that given a table such as the above, we could write a SP to produce an output such as (note, below looks at monthly total so will not agree back to sample above which contains only 2 days):
Platform
Package
Movement
September
October
November
DTV
PROD 1
OPEN
600
676
776
DTV
PROD 1
New Sales
92
106
88
[code]....
how one is best to accumulate the balances given that the open date for any given reporting period is in fact an accumulation of all balances since day 1.
How does one typically capture this type of thing in SQL?
I am working on a rewards program and I have a table whenever customer completes a trip, his total fare,business points earned for that particular trip and respective Promotional points gets inserted.
Now I have a scenario whenever customer business points accumulates to 10 then need to award 3 promotional points.
If Business Points=14 for a single trip then for the first 10 points respective Promo points will be awarded and the remaining 4 points should get carry forward for the next trip and this 4 points should get accumulated with the next trip Business Points and so on.

A fast_forward cursor is read only by definition, meaning the rows can't be updated, but I'm not sure if they are insensitive or not. Do they reflect the changes in the database after the cursor is opened?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am using the AutoFetch Option with Fast Forward Cursors with SQLOLEDB to access SQL Server 2005. This really works out but for the first I execute the query only.
But as I use parameterized statements, when I re-use the cursor, just re-binding new variables and re-executing it again, the AutoFetch does not work any more.
I noticed that thru the SQL Server Profiler. I see a sp_cursorfetch been called at the second time the cursor is re-executed.
Does anyone know how to work it out?

Hi!
I have setup a database mirroring session without witness - ServerA is the principal, ServerB is the mirror,. Each SQL Server instance is hosted on its own machine on sql2005 EE SP2. The mirroring is working correctly. If I submit to server ServerA command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER
, ServerB becomes the principal, it means that mirroring works correctly.
My issue is with the SQL Native Client and a front-end ASP application (actually IIS 6.0 site) that needs to make use of this database. I have setup my front-end application to use SQL Native Client and specified the failover server in connection string. Here is the connection string that I am using :
PROVIDER=SQLNCLI.1;Server=ServerA,1433;Failover Partner=ServerB,1433;Database=MYDBNAME;Network=dbmssocn;Integrated Security=SSPI;
Everything works perfectly on my front-end application when ServerA is the principal. If I execute on server ServerA command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER
, ServerB becomes the principal, and the failover occurs correctly on the database side. The problem is that my front-end application is not able to query the database on ServerB. The error appears:
Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80004005'
Cannot open database "MYDBNAME" requested by the login. The login failed.
This behavior my appication till I unload IIS 6.0 pool application. After that my front-end application becomes work correctly with ServerB.
When I swap server, I execute on server ServerB command:
ALTER DATABASE MYDBNAME SET PARTNER FAILOVER,
my IIS 6.0 application automaticly turn back to ServerA without any action on my side.
I am using SQL Native Client last version http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/c/27c60d49-6dbe-423e-9a9e-1c873f269484/sqlncli.msi (issued in February 2007). Has anyone experienced this issue? I'm thinking that it's a problem in the SQL Native client
Hi
I am creating a report on a database where some of the table names start
with the @ sign - ie @table1.
Reporting services picks this up as a parameter, instead of a table name in
my query, even though I am encapsulating the table name in square brackets
eg. [@table1]
I have several data sets in the report that i am using to populate valid
parameters. These datasets are all variations of queries from tables that
have @ as the first character.
When i then try to run the report i get an error message as follows:
"The report parameter pool has a default value or a valid value that depends
on the report parameter SD_POOLCONTRACTS. Forward dependencies are not valid"
This is frustrating as SD_POOLCONTRACTS is not a report parameter but one of
the database tables that has @ for it's first character.
here is the query that i use to obtain the valid values for the pool report
parameter that i am trying to set up.
SELECT distinct u_poolcode as Pool
FROM OCRD INNER JOIN
OCRG ON OCRD.GroupCode = OCRG.GroupCode INNER JOIN
CRD1 ON OCRD.CardCode = CRD1.CardCode inner JOIN
[@SD_POOLCONTRACT] INNER JOIN
[@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE] ON [@SD_POOLCONTRACT].DocEntry
= [@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE].DocEntry INNER JOIN
[@SD_CONTRACTS] ON [@SD_POOLCONTRCT_LINE].U_DocNo =
[@SD_CONTRACTS].DocNum ON
case when len(ocrd.fathercard) = 0 then ocrd.cardcode
else ISNULL(OCRD.FatherCard, OCRD.CardCode) end = [@SD_CONTRACTS].U_CardCode
WHERE (OCRD.CardType = 'c') AND (OCRG.GroupName LIKE N'producer%') AND
(CRD1.AdresType = 'b')
ORDER BY OCRG.GroupName, FatherCard, OCRD.CardCode
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all,
1) I have a report with many parameters that I want users to be able to pick from. Allow them to pick 1, many or all to build their report dynamically. I'm all set on the TSQL side, but on the Reporting Services side I have to allow each parameter to be null with a default of NULL. In by doing this, the report will auto run, which I do not want to happen. The only resolution I've found thus far was by adding a parameter that does nothing, with a NULL default value. Yet It sticks out like a sore thumb on the report and I want to get rid of it. If I check in "Hidden" in the parameter options, my report errors out stating that the parameter requires a value.
2) Is it possible to have a parameter that has available values from a dataset have a NULL checkbox like those of parameters that do not have available values?
3) Is it possible to add back/forward buttons inside of a report instead of just at the report header by default?
Thanks!
Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
