Curious, what does one get out of going to a conference like PASS? (besides getting a free trip from work!).
I can see how it might be a place for consultants to mingle and potentially land new contracts. What other opportunities are there?
I'm a solid SQL developer/dba and have some funds earmarked for training this year. I'd like to expand my dba skills...more specifically, I'd like to become a rock-solid enterprise level dba that has not only a solid foundation of skills but some innovative techniques for managing our corporate SQL servers.
I'm curious if anybody has recommendations on training or conferences that might help me dig into those skillsets for a couple of days.
Thanks for your insight.

I would like to attend a conference/seminar/educational presentation onSQL Server. I don't know what types of qualifications to use inevaluating these types of events, nor do I really even know how todiscover where they are held. I'm not sure what my companies budgetis, but I am relatively sure that they won't be sending me far outsideof the Washington, DC area for the event.Does anyone have any suggestions on locations in that area? (for theimmediate and upcoming year).Thanks!

Hi
We already used Oracle Datasatage Server the following Query statement for Source and Lookup.here there is parameter maping in the SQl Statement . How can achive in SSIS the Folowing Querystatment?
Query 1: (source View Query)
SELECT
V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.GDR_PRODUCT_ID, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.ASSET_TYPE, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.PREFERENCE_SEQ, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.RDP_PRICE_SOURCE, TO_CHAR(V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.PRICE_DATE_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_CHAR(V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.SOURCE_SYSTEM_ID

V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE
WHERE
REPORT_DATE = (select max(report_date) from V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE where source_system_id = 'RM' )
Query 2: (look up )
SELECT
GDR_PRODUCT_ID,
TO_CHAR(MAX(PRICE_DATE_TIME),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ,
TO_CHAR(REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
FROM
V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE
where
GDR_PRODUCT_ID = :1 and
report_date = TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') AND
PRICE_DATE_TIME BETWEEN TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') - 7) AND TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
GROUP BY GDR_PRODUCT_ID, TO_CHAR(REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
please anyone give the sample control flow and how to pass the parameter?

hello,My friend and I are working on a project involving oracle 9i and an oldUnify database. We got the oracle to see the unify (oracle running onwindows) by using the heterogenous services on oracle.However, that was a test environment. The production environment hasoracle running on linux. The problem is that the odbc drivers for theold unify database are only available on windows!So, I was wondering about something.In the production environment, they also have a MS-SQL 2000 database.Does that database have a function similar to oracle's heterogenousservices that will let us connect to the old unify database and passthat data to oracle?We're building custom apps. on oracle 10g application server. Runningoracle on windows in the production environment is not going to happen.Thanks,Dave

I have a report that need to be delivered to two different persons.
It has 10 columns. But one of them is not supposed to be seen by one person. Can I do this without creating another report and delivering two different reports although they are almost the same?
Thanks
Hi,I have a gridview on a page, which should select data from a database. I want it to select the data row if it finds its UserName in the UserName column, but there will be many usernames in the username column, seperated by commas.Here is the select statement that I have at the moment, which doesnt return any data atall:SELECT [message], [senddate], [subject], [messageid], [sendername], [recievername] FROM [Messages] WHERE ([recievername] LIKE '% ' + @recievername + ' %')@recievername = Profile("UserName") which is the vwd wizards way of saying the current user. A Username column has data like this:bezzer , bezlan , beezer , beezler with a space between commas and a space at the start and the end.Thanks if someone can help!Jon

Is there a way to kick users out of your databases if there's no activity for a certain duration of time. For example, I have a database thats being shared by 5 people. One went to lunch and locked their office just when I needed to do maintanence. I had to wait for them to get back & logout be fore I could do anything?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a question concerning query optimisation. Sorry if it's a bit long,but thanks to anyone who has the patience to help - This is my first posthere...If I have two tables: 'tblContact' and 'tblCategory' where categories arelike:Code Name010101 Short010102 Fat010103 StupidThe junction table 'tblConCat' has fields CctConID, CctCatCode to tell mewhich contacts have which category codes. These are nchar(6) fields, if itmakes any difference.If I need to find all people who are short, fat and stupid I can see twoways:Solution One:SELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContact WHEREConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010101') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010102') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010103')Solution Two:Build a helper table which contains the codes I'm looking forSELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContactWHERE ConID IN(SELECT CctConIDFROM tblConCat INNER JOIN tblHelperON tblConCat.CctCatCode = tblHelper.HlpCatCodeGROUP BY CctConID HAVING Count(*)=3)I have tried them both out and although I looked at the query analyzer itprovided more information than I knew what to do with. In practise theyboth provide similar working times (I wait about a second) but I thought thefirst looked rather inefficient and thought my helper table might help.There are about 30,000 contact records, 180 category records and 120,000junction table records.All I am looking for comments on any pros and cons of these two approaches -does one look that bad? The database was migrated from Access where thehelper table really did help, but using SQL Server I might not need it.Thanks again, if you got this far!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI run a report which displays transcripts for members. One page per person with their name, courses they've took, date of the course and their score. The problem I am having is when the report runs and comes across the same last name for many people (say, Hanna and Billy Alexander), it's only giving me the first "Alexander" it comes across and it is putting all the information for the other "Alexander's" in that first transcript. How do I separate out the people who's last name is the same say "Smith" or Jones"?
I have a distinct clause on my query and when I run it I can see the other people with the same last name and their unique courses and scores (each of them have a unique member ID) - it's when I actually run the report that it groups the information (courses, dates, scores, etc) for the same last name people all under the first one it comes across. Hope that made sense.
Thx,
Billy
i have a report that is specifc to a user (has a user parameter)

is this possible - i hope im making some sort of sense

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
Thanks once again for taking the time.
Cheers,
Tyro
I'm developing a client-server application using Visual Basic and SQL Server
6.5 for 700 users. The application currently requires users to login to the
database using their network account (via trusted connections). Each of the
users takes up a maximum of 6 connections. Unfortunately, other
considerations will force us to discard use of trusted connections. So it
only leaves us either to create 700 user accounts on SQL Server separately
from their network logins or to create one SQL Server account and everybody
uses that same account to login to the database. For political reasons, the
customer would prefer not to ask their support group to maintain 700 user
accounts on SQL Server if it can be avoided.
My question: is there any technical limitation or other negative consequence
of having 700 users login to the same account to SQL Server if SQL Server
can handle that many connections (it would be 6*700 = 4200 connections)
simultaneously? Are we supposed to do things like this? It seems that we
don’t have better choice than this.
Hi all,
I'm having a problem working the SQL out for the following:
I have a table Person:
personId----------name
1----------------Robert
2----------------Frank
and another table Question
personId------questionId---------answer
1-------------1-----------------Y
1-------------2-----------------Y
1-------------3-----------------Y
2-------------1-----------------Y
2-------------2-----------------Y
2-------------3-----------------N
and I am trying to find a way of returning a list of ids of people who have answered Y to the first and second questions but N to the third.
If I try:
SELECT DISTINCT personId FROM Person INNER JOIN
Question ON question.personId = Person.personId
WHERE (Question.questionId = '1') AND (Question.answer = 'Y') AND (Question.questionId = '2') AND (Question.answer = 'Y') AND (Question.questionId = '3') AND (Question.answer = 'N')
I get no records returned.
I've tried putting brackets around the :
((Question.questionId = '1') AND (Question.answer = 'Y'))
bits of the Where clause - but the query analyser takes them away.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a set of rows in a table like for example

5 Mary 01/5/2014 56
6 Lisa 08/1/2014 54
6 Lisa 05/10/2014 34

I need to transform it into a table which gives a count of the number of subjects at each visit at the end of each month.
For example, in March there will be 1 subject at visit 2. In April, there will be a total of 2 subjects, 1 at visit 1 and 1 at visit 3. In May there will be 2 subjects, 1 at visit 3 and 1 at visit 2, etc.
Here is the table I was hoping to produce.

March....1.............................1
April......2...................1.........................1
May.......2.............................1..............1
Jun.......2............................................2
Jul.......2...........................................................2

Does anyone know where I can get a Thesaurus (or list) of People's Names and their relationships?
For Example:

Sue = Susie = Susan = Suzanne
I can build the needed xml file to become a Thesaurus for MSSQL Full Text Searching. But I can't find a list of related people names anywhere.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Why is it that when you want to add a user or a group to SSRS through either Management Studio or the Reports Manager, you have no people picker to lookup into Active Directory.
You can pull up AD users and computers in MMC and do a search and then put their account name in - but that seems like a huge pain.
Am I missing something here - or did Microsoft miss something really big here.
I want to create a report which should be looked like this.

In the data base, there are some tables called members, loans and deposits containing members names, joined date , etc.
Example:
MembersTable
MemberName MemberID etc
LoansTable
MemberName CommencedDate
DepositorTable
MemberName CommencedDate
I assume that I should be able to create a report using matix format. But I want to clarify few things before I start. How do I calculate nu members? Data base tables contains only names of the members but not numbers. Other thing is how can I group members by perticular time periods as shown above? Do I need to use parameters? Also In the table, members can be borrowers or a depositors? How can clarify this one?
Please Can anyone give an idea? How to start and which direction I should go etc?
Thanks

Say that I have employee data for 2010-2015. I have a pivot table that displays employee data for all the different months in 2015 I want each month to show all people who have been employed since the start of time until and including that month. So
for January 2015 it should show all people employed from January 2010 to January 2015.
