I'm very new to SQL Server having previously worked with Oracle 10g for the last couple of years.
Anyway, in Oracle there is a view called V$SQL that provides information about SQL that is or has recently been executed. I'm trying to find a similar sort of functionality in SQL Server.
Basically, what I'd like to do is list all of the SQL statements that are running at a given moment. Or even better would be a way of listing all statements that have run in the last 10 minutes.
I just installed SQL Server on my 2003 box. Up till now I've been using MS Access for all my database needs. When I wanted to work on fields in a table, all I had to do was open Access and there you go. How do I view and modify Fields in SQL?
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.
Holy MOLY I've been banging my head up against the wall on this matter for months now. I have two databases and I need to be able to see the tables from different different databases. Usually I create a view like this
LicensingActions.dbo.License_Suspensions
But it wasnt working kept telling me that the License_Suspensions table didnt exsist and at the time the name was in all caps. So I decided to change the name, and low and BEHOLD IT WORKS. The funny was that I wasnt having that problem any of the other tables just that one. Well live and learn. Just thought I'd share that with you guys
I just got some great code from this site for viewing constraints, but I can't find the equivalent for indexes (and I couldn't modify the constraint sql), any suggestions?
why can't i see SQL server 2005 the same way i see Visual Basic 2005 Express edition. i'm able to see VB by going under the all Programs menu and select it, when i try to find SQL 2005, i see configuration tools and some submenu of configuration tools. is that the way it is? if not, how do i get SQL 2005 to open up like VB so i can play with it. Also, at home i do not have a server, do i have to have a home server to play with SQL
I am trying to view a "View" that is in one of my databases, and I am having a problem seeing the scripting that is inside of it. In sql2000 all I needed to do to view a "View" is double click on it. If I double click on a "View" in sql2005 it will open more folders showing the layout, but I want to see the scripting. If I right click on it and then click open view, sql2005 returns the values that the view would bring across. Does anybody know how to view the scripting of a "View" for sql2005?
Also if I select Modify, sql2005 returns scripting but it does not look right.
I would like to know the best way to view Package Logs that are being stored in SQL Server? Right now I select out of sysdtslog90 to see what the log file has. I would like to know if there is a way like SQL 2000 where there is a drop down for the date and you could view the entire package data.
I have a linked table in Access to my SQL 7 database. But one field who's values are either 0 or 1 now show up as 0 or -1 when I view the linked table in Access?
I would like to be able to get a listing of the object permissions for a particular group in a database. I can't find a procedure for doing this. I know I must be overlooking an obvious solution. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing this? Thanks.
It was possible to read the transaction log on SQL 6.5 with DBCC LOG and find out what was going on. Is there any way to do this in SQL 7.0/2000 or do you now have to rely on SQL Profiler? I have noticed that SQLProbe has a log viewer in it and would like to know how they did it.
I'm on a Dev database (full copy). In EM (that is running on the Dev server) I run a view that I used to build the list of rows to be updated.
SQL 2000 Std SP3 on Win 2000 Server.
When I cut-n-Pasted the clause to my "Update" statement in Query Analyser and try to run it, to my surprised, it got hung up.
I looked in EM to see Locks, and to my surprise my EM View Display is blocking the Update! So; I press "Cancel" on my EM View display and, whammo, the update goes.
I tested and it's consistant and does not matter what column I'm updating.
Is this normal behaviour for EM?
EDIT: I tried the exact same scenerio, in the exact same EM and QA screens, but this time remoting over to the Production box (since it's midnight). The blocking did not occur. Weird!
How to view the errors occured during the job execution (than viewing the Job history).Is there any files available to refer the errors?. Thanks in advance.
Hi,I am trying to debug some queries that are being generated by anexternal program, and I have no way of finding out what the actualsyntax of the query is from within the program itself. This means thatwhen the query fails I am left with only a very unhelpful message.So what I was wondering, was whether there is a way that I can view theactual queries that are sent to SQL server as they happen, or if areal-time solution doesn't exist, then some way I can look back afterthe event and see the syntax of the queries?Ideally, what I would like to do is see the queries in the form theywere sent to the server, ie "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar='foobar'", asthis would help me to figure out where the generated queries are goingwrong.Cheers,--Dylan Parryhttp://electricfreedom.org | http://webpageworkshop.co.ukThe opinions stated above are not necessarily representative ofthose of my cats.

Hi,I have a need to pull information from an Oracle 9.2.1 database. It isstoring UTF-8 characters in a varchar2(33) field. I need to be able to pullthese values out and put them in a SQL Server 2000 version of the table withthe UTF-8 characters intact.Anyone know how to do this...efficiently? I've tried DTS and the high endUTF-8 characters get lost in the copy.Thanks,CJ
I have deployed the Reports created in the dev server to another server say ABCD. I am able to view the Report manager of ABCD from the dev server and also the projects under it. Also I can see the list of reports in it. But when I am trying to view any report it gives me an error saying "Your Browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts". Has any one of you come across similar kind of problem? Has this anything to do with the browser settings or with the report server settings?
I have been using Microsoft Business Intelligence for 1st time. This software has been able to create my reports based on a table I have. But note, this report is built using Business Intelligence (Visual Studio). Now, the Report pulls data from a database. I also have a C# application that interfaces with this same database. What I would like to do is to display the content of this report in my C# application. How do I go about doing this?
This is an SQL Server 2000 question. Without having access to the "Design Table" option in the pop-up menu of a table, is there another way to see what constraints, indexes, primary key, etc. that a table has?
I have an ASP.NET application which allows the selection of various reporting services created reports to be selected via a drop-down. Until recently this has worked no problem at all, however now a strange error has surfaced.
When the user selects to view a report, the first selection shows the report correctly. However when a second report is selected, instead of displaying the second report, the screen simply posts back but doesnt actually display the second report.
When i trying to export my report into PDF file it is splitting into multiple pages. whether we can able to see in single page. is there any solution for this problem.
