We have a database that we have designed so all the data dependances are managed by the front end code. However the company we are writing it for has asked us to add around 50 constraints. I was just a little worried what kind of effect on performance this would have. Cheers Ed

I have a sqlserve, which service account is 'local system', running in machine A.
A credential ,which associated a windows user U1 in machine A, mapped to a sqlserver login Login1.
A file named 1.txt that only can be accessed by U1 in machine A.
A CLR procedure P1 that would read the 1.txt file.
I encounter a error when i access the 1.txt file through P1 as Login1:
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "HelloWorld":
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:1.txt' is denied.
System.UnauthorizedAccessException:

.
I think it need a credential when a sqlserver login access some resource outside the sqlserver, so i add a credential and mapped to the login
any suggestions would be appreciated.
And please correct me if i have any inaccurate concept.
I have this stored procedure. I want to run a few simple SQL functions against my tables. In particular I want to take a subset of records (One or Two years worth) and calculate AVG, VAR and STDEV.
It does not work the way I thought it would. I end up with the whole input table in #tempor1 which is about 6 years worth of records.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[findAve1YearDailyClose_MSFT]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT adjClosed, volume INTO #tempor1 FROM dbo.dailyCl_MSFT
GROUP BY dateTimed, adjClosed, volume
HAVING (dateTimed > DATEADD (year, -1, MAX (dateTimed)))
SELECT AVG (adjClosed) AS "AVGAdjClose1Year",
VAR (adjClosed) AS "VARAdjClose1Year", AVG (volume) AS "AVGVolume1Year",
STDEV (volume) AS "STDEVVolume1Year", COUNT (*) AS "total"
FROM #tempor1
END
Thus if I change the number of years I subtract from the latest date from 1 to 2 I end up with the same result. What is the problem?
Thanks.
Hello,
What happens to these REPLication agents if SQL Agent is stopped and started:
Snapshot Agents
Merge Agents
Misc Maintenance Agents
Can the agent be stopped and started with no thought to the status of replication, or should the replication state be modified in some way before any change to the status of the Agent?
(I know REPL depends on agent, so wuestion is, can REPL simply resume or not when agent is re-started.)
Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes someone know if doing a reindex on a clustered or non-clustered index cause the snapshot file to grow? In other words, is the data that makes up the snapshot copied from the source to the snapshot database? If a normal reindex is done on the underlying database, will it block users from acessing the snapshot? Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I achieve the same effect as a cross join (since the merge operator doesn't have a cross join)?
Situation is this... a flat file has some header and footer information that I need to keep and attach to each row. So for simplicity sake of an example lets just say header has only 1 thing we care about - a row that says DATE=01/01/06.
I take the file and run a split to split into "Date" "Data" and "other" (other has all the throwaway rows in header and footer I don't care about). Then I use a derived column object to get all the columns out of the "Data". Finally I want to add that Date metadata back to every row in the data...
I thought this would be an easy thing to do.. but I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate that Date info into every row.. Hopefully I am overlooking something simple.
Thanks in advance.
Hi..
I want to know that when I do something like..
Select Query
Left Join
Select Query 2
Left Join
Select Query 3
How does it work actually?
As in, whether Query 2 & Query 3 will work only on the records retrieved by Query 1 only.
Or, all the select statements retrieves all the records and then the condition is applied to filter out the results.
Also, does the order of the Select statements make any difference on the speed?
Thanks
Edit: Sorry This is OSQL.What I use as my query is:"DELETE FROM timerecord WHERE Actual_Time_In LIKE '11.12.2006%'"The row of Actual_Time_In is formatted with Date and time (MM.DD.YYYY HH:MM:SS) sometimes there are ten records and I'd rather not have to remove them from the table one at a time. However, even though I have a record that is '11.12.2006 22:43:00' my delete doesn't work osql states I have 0 rows affected.This is only MSDE so I don't have anyother way to open the table.Sometimes these records have other records that reference them. Is there anyway to do a cascading delete without it getting to complex?Thanks of all your help, I am just a tech support guy beating his head against a wall..

Does JOIN order effect efficiency?
If I have three large tables to join together should I join the two that I know will cut the number of rows down a lot first and then join the 3rd table or does it make no difference (if I join the first and 3rd - which I know will be a large result set and then join the 2nd).

Hello all, thanks in advance for any advice here.
My question is, what's the effect of the Enterprise Manager > Tasks > Shrink Database function? It seems to reduce the used space on the device. Testing it on some dev machines, I've seem to have gotten back as much as 20g of space. I know it should grow back to that, but the time it took was minimal, and it didn't seem to affect my developers. They tend to add alot and delete alot during testing. What negative effects of running this should I look out for? Will it affect the DB long term? Is is preferable to schedule once a month or so? Is this done on Production DB's?
Thanks for any guidence on the usage of this.

Hi Guys,
I have created a report where I have Z-Index all set correctly, but I cannot see the desired effect of toggling as can be seen in the AdventureWorks sample of SalesOrder report that gets shipped with SSRS. What am I missing?
I'm looking into the automatic recompilation of stored procedures andI have been reading up on the "Do not recompute statistics" option onindexes.Am I correct in concluding that disabling the "Do not recomputestatistics" option for an index, will ensure that no automaticrecompilations will occur as a result of updates to data in thatindex?Am I also correct in understanding that the "Update Statistics" willstill update statistics for the index even if the "Do not recomputestatistics" option is disabled?RegardsBjørn

I just want to change the length of 2 fields. They're CHAR and NVARCHAR type. I want to change the length from 50 to 75.
Will doing this effect the data? Will it delete the data in those columns? I just want to make sure before I do anything. The table contains about 2.5 million rows, so I don't want to mess anything up. I'm aware that the script may take a while to run and finish, but I'm only concerned about data integrity.
Here is my example script syntax to show what I'm planning to do:
Code Snippet
alter table credit alter column writeoffreason char(75) not null;
Does it matter what type of data is in the columns? For now, it's only CHAR and NVARCHAR.
I also read somewhere that you can increase length but cannot decrease without repercussions?
Thanks!

I have 3 parameters---> 3 multi value combo box .
However when I tick "allow blank value" within the report parameter
properties for this drop menu, report WILL NOT run without making

the reports still require you to enter a value for all parameters in the report when the report can and should be able to be run with no parameter defined.
the trick "default values for all of the params to "=String.Empty"" is not good .

Hi All,
I have a view that does some calculations on data in the database. Note in the two code snippets, that the columns being used in the calculations are all type FLOAT(53).
My confusion stems from the fact that both code snippets should be functionally the same in my "view" (*snicker* I kill me...), but they return different results which I think are related to rounding issues.
The first snippet:
CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW_Calculate_PortfolioIndex
AS
SELECT PP.PortfolioID AS PortfolioID,
PP.CreateDate AS CreateDate,
(ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2) * PP.AvgHighPriceRatio) AS HighIndex,
CASE WHEN PPI.CloseIndex IS NULL
THEN 100.00
ELSE ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2)
END AS CloseIndex,
(ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2) * PP.AvgLowPriceRatio) AS LowIndex,
PP.Volume as Volume
FROM dbo.PortfolioIndex PPI INNER JOIN
dbo.PortfolioPerformance PP ON
PPI.PortfolioID = PP.PortfolioID AND
PPI.CreateDate = PP.PrevDate
GO
and it's result set:
PortfolioIDCreateDateHighIndexCloseIndexLowIndexVolume
102/20/2004781.11774.17769.53527896
112/20/2004757.97750.36742.93605740
122/20/2004509.92501.72494.854180516
132/20/2004988.23980.65973.58632337
142/20/20041283.261269.571259.37416145
And the second snippet:
CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW_Calculate_PortfolioIndex
AS
SELECT PP.PortfolioID AS PortfolioID,
PP.CreateDate AS CreateDate,
(CloseIndex * PP.AvgHighPriceRatio) AS HighIndex,
CASE WHEN PPI.CloseIndex IS NULL
THEN 100.00
ELSE ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2)
END AS CloseIndex,
(CloseIndex * PP.AvgLowPriceRatio) AS LowIndex,
PP.Volume as Volume
FROM dbo.PortfolioIndex PPI INNER JOIN
dbo.PortfolioPerformance PP ON
PPI.PortfolioID = PP.PortfolioID AND
PPI.CreateDate = PP.PrevDate
which returns a different result set:
PortfolioIDCreateDateHighIndexCloseIndexLowIndexVolume
102/20/2004784.52774.17772.89527896
112/20/2004755.64750.36740.64605740
122/20/2004512.43501.72497.294180516
132/20/2004989.77980.65975.1632337
142/20/20041285.991269.571262.05416145
Specifically, I am concerned with the HighIndex and LowIndex values...since the only modification between the two code snippets is that in the second one, the HighIndex and LowIndex calculations use the column name of CloseIndex (as calculated in the select) in the calcs for those two columns, rather than repeating the code used to calculate the CloseIndex column's value.
I am confused as to why the results of the HighIndex and LowIndex caculations are different in the two selects, when the only change (in my view/expectations) is that one references the CloseIndex column, and the other one just reproduces the calculation itself
*scratching head*
any thoughts? Thanks,
Paul
Hi,
I am trying to use a very easy and simple feature of a reportmodel, model item security.
In my example i have two users; HGHJohn and HGHJKooi
I want to test if I am able to restrict access in the model to a whole entity. HGHJKooi shouldn't be able to see the entity 'Customers'.
These are the steps I executed:
1. In Sqlserver management studio I opened the properties of my model and navigated to the tabpage 'model item security'.
2. I activated the option 'secure individual model items...'
3. In the root of the model I declared two users(groups) as specified above
4. Automatically all nodes inherit these settings from the root.
5. For the entity 'Relations' I change the default, by selecting 'use these roles for each group or user account'
6. I removed HGHJKooi from this list, leaving only 'HGHJohn as model item browser
What I expected at this moment is that when I login the system as HGHJKooi, then I won't see this entity, but I still can! Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

A report contains images rendered at 300 DPI. This DPI is fixed, in order to achieve the required quality of the image when printed.
Rendering the report (locally, using LocalReport.Render) as a PDF, with the DPI set to 300 in the DeviceInfo string does not appear to have any effect as the images in the resulting PDF are rendered at 96 DPI.
One solution is to render the report as a TIFF, which does have the desired effect. However, it is a PDF that is required, and converting the TIFF to PDF is problematic in itself. In addition the conversion of the TIFF to a PDF (using PDFCreator) results in a black that is now a blue-black instead of true black.
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
I have a few stored procedures which all perfom SELECT queries on a table in the database. Do these kind of stored procedures affect any other processes or procedures working on that table. I am talking about locks, blocks etc.
For example, the database has a table which gets updated periodically by some process which I don't know. Now I wrote some stored procedures just to do the SQL SELECT with some conditions in WHERE clause. Is there any possibility that my stored procedure failed and the because of this, the process that runs on the table was not executed?
I'm a newbie to Replication and recently setup the following.
Publisher and Distributor on the same SQL2005 server, then I've got 7 subscribers(SQL2000 servers) and I'm using push subscriptions. I'm replicating 5 SQl tables which don't have too many changes and these are scheduled to run every 3 hours. In a few days a large one off SQL update with add an additional 10,000 rows to one of the replicated tables. I was wondering what impact this would have on the above setup i.e are there any sort of limitations here. I'm assuming not but thought I would check. I'm thinking it will just cause additional overhead on the server, but the update is being applied when no users will be using the database.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I ahve a demo package here: http://folders.live.com/self.aspx/VQ9oHa1TJjc/Public/SSIS%20Stuff/ExamplePackages/20070717%20Expression%20on%20Disable%20property%20has%20no%20effect/Package1.zip
Please reply letting me know whether this is indeed a bug or not.

I have a data flow that reads from a flat file source, goes through one data transformation component to change from unicode to normal text and writes the data to a SQL Server table. This has been working fine throughout development using a specific source file as input. I have now manually changed the path and name of the input source file in the connection manager to point to a new file and the task continues to process the old text file.
I open the connection manager and check its properties and preview the data and it all looks fine - it is finding the new file. I also edit the flat file source component and preview the data and it shows the data from the new file. I run the data flow by right-clicking and selecting Execute Container and it continually reads the old file and processes it! (I do the right-click thing because this is just one small part of a larger package.)
This has got to be a bug, but just where I wonder. Anyone ever see this before? I'm going to try to run the entire package in debug mode, instead of right-clicking, next and see if that's any different. Anyone have any ideas on how to force a refresh of the necessary internal components to make it read the new file? All the external properties point to the new file, but it's not being read.
Joe
Update:
I ran the entire package and found no difference in execution - it's still reading the wrong input file. I then deleted and recreated the connection manager, again specifying the new file to read. It still continued to read the old file. I deleted the flat file source component and recreated it, specifying the latest connection manager (twice, since I must have pointed it at the wrong one the first time and it read a completely different file). I still have the same problem of it reading the wrong input file. I don't know what else to recreate that would have any effect. Does anyone have any ideas? I need to change the pointer to different files multiple times and have it read several different input files. This has got to work somehow. Any help is appreciated.
Joe
I'm not looking for details or code, just general direction I should go. Here is my goal:
I have a SQL stored procedure that returns data which I will need to add spaces to, then end up with a space delimited text file.
This txt file will then be needed to be saved and emailed.
Also, I would like to be able to schedule this in the Task Scheduler for once a month execution.
Is this all just one big crazy idea?

In the company that I work there are two offices, one is outside the city and the other is in the city. They are connected trough a DS0 using frame relay. The thing is that the comunication is very slow (the SQL server is in the city) and we want to add a new server at the office outside the city and we want at the end of the day replicate the data between the two servers so every server has the actual data. We didn't use primary keys, instead of that we used identities (autoincremental value administered by the server). What kind of replication should I use and why? (I'm new with SQL Server). There are 3 kinds: Snapshot, Transactional and Merge.
