Can someone explain me how does work that flags?
# “Auto Close Flag�
# “Auto Create Statistics Flag�
# “Auto Shrink Flag�
# “Auto Update Flag�
ok ok, I suppose that they shrink, update statistics and stuff automatically, but... when? every second? is it ok to leave all them as true?
Is the process of using integer data types to represent multiple values via the use of bit flags bad practice? It seems to go against the rules of normalization in a single field can represent multiple values. On the other hand that since these values can be tested for via bitwise operations, that it's not entirely bad.
Hi , I want to trace the deadlock information. I am enabling trace flags 1204 ,1205. Is there any difference in setting these trace flags by using DBCC TRACEON and by setting them at command prompt by statrting the SQL server with SQLSERVR command. Actually i don't want to bring the server down. I want the information to be logged to Error log. Any help is greatly appreciated.
To solve a problem I encountered with Restoring from Backups in 6.5, I had to install a hotfix and thereafter do the load using Trace Flag 3282.I need help on using the trace flag (syntax etc.) Also there is no mention in books online of this particular Trace Flag. Please help.
I see only a few trace flags and their description in BOL but see a lot of references to various flags like: 1211 and so on... Where can I find all the flags and their descriptive actions?
To get deadlock victim alert do we need to turn on deadlock trace flags or if I create an alert and if there's any deadlock incident happen, it will throw alert (if no deadlock flag is set)?
I have a scenario where I have 3 columns and all 3 of them are used in the where clauses of simple queries or ones having joins .
TABLE( Column1 int FLAG1 bit FLAG2 bit )
Sample queries :
Select * from TABLE where FLAG1 =1 and FLAG2 =0 (Any combination of these flags) Select * from TABLE inner join SOMEOTHERTABLE on TABLE.Column1 = SOMEOTHERTABLE .Column1 where FLAG1 =1 and FLAG2 =0
( any join and combination of flags)
Questions :
What would be the best nonclustered index strategy :
Column1 as the index key including FLAG1 and FLAG2 or Column1,FLAG1 and FLAG2 in the index key
Points to note :
The queries are part of an ETL process and are used to track new records vs old records. The Flags switch states within the same job . So if we are creating an index on all 3 columns, the index has to be reorganized more than once based on the flag states. If we keep them in the include list , then its only about updating the leaf data with the latest flag values.
On the other hand, an index on all 3 columns will result in an index Seek alone , where as for the included list , there will be an index seek and a predicate .
Does the predicate cause more overhead than reorganizing the index or is it the opposite ?
Wanted to know which among these options is better and why? Or if theircould be scenarios where we could opt for one of these.a) flags passed from code to control the execution of queries within astored procedure i.e. - where queries within a single stored procedureare controlled by flags passed to them.ORb) Break individual queries into separate stored procedure
We have the following trace flags present in startup in SQL server 2000:
809 1204 3605 3913
Need to understand if these should be required in SQL Server 2005 + SP2 version. I have run the upgrade advisor tool which indcates that the behaviour of some flags has changed and some other TFs are no longer applicable. Hence, I want to know about the above mentioned TFs.
Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:
I have a data output with many rows. In order to group things with flags, I do this in excel using 2 formulas which *** a flag of 0 or 1 in 2 new columns.
This takes a long long time as I have hundreds of thousands of rows and wondered of I could do it in sql?
Its transact SQL and the formulas I use in excel are:
In one of my views I am having trouble finding where to put it in my existing statement:
USE [pec_prod] GO /****** Object: View [dbo].[PEC_Claim_Export_All] Script Date: 8/10/2015 9:18:26 AM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER VIEW [dbo].[PEC_Claim_Export_All]
[Code] ....
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure PEC_Claim_Export_All, Line 56 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'OPTION'.
What happens when you add the Ignore Case flag into the mix?
I'm having a hell of a time - I'm dealing with an SCD situation using TableDifference component and I have both existing dimensions and new data coming in, each go through identical Case-Insensitive/Sort with remove duplicates, but I'm getting identical new and deleted records detected - I think because of ordering issues. I'm still trying to whittle the test case down, but I think data from all around the records I'm investigating seems to get sorted in between them, so I'm having trouble getting a small test case built.
I think the mixed case data is the root of the problem, and I think the design is bad, but before I go back to the technical lead, I need to understand enough to show that you cannot take two pipelines sorted and de-duped case-insensitively and then do a case-sensitive table difference operation.
During a newly set up on one of our SQL server 2012:
We had enable the trace flags 1117 and 1118 as a good practice using DBCC TRACEON(1117,-1) and similar for 1118.
We have been base lining the server and it came to notice that trace flags are no more enabled.
Property               Value                              CaptureDate DBCC_TRACESTATUS TF 1117: Status = 1, Global = 1, Session = 0    2015-10-20 00:00:00 DBCC_TRACESTATUS     TF 1118: Status = 1, Global = 1, Session = 0      2015-10-20 00:00:00
After reboot: Property                 Value                                  CaptureDate DBCC_TRACESTATUS      No trace flags enabled             2015-10-21 00:00:02.340
What can be the reason? What can be done to turn them on permanently, if its actually a good bet in enabling so.
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?
Does anyone know how to use for xml auto that will format an xml response to show the parent/child relationships? I currently have the parents and children in a temp table and can only get a formatting so that each one is returned at a parent. how can i select the results from the temp table so for xml auto will return the properly formatted xml file?
The upgrade adviser for for 2k5 says something about derived tables being handled differently between 2k and 2K5 and it says to query the tables directly but this does not seem to make much sense because I thought FOR XML AUTO just created some generic XML for presentation purposes. These 2 stored procedures that it is complaining about do query the tables directly and they use the FOR XML AUTO to control the output.Does anyone know if I have to worry about this? I am tempted to let this slide and check out this part of the application after the migration happens tomorrow for QA to start testing.Yes I have been googling, checking my books and digging around in BOL. I am not seeing anything.DISREGARD: I found my derived table. It appears to change the output of the XML. Perfect.
I am using sql server 2000 and want to know how to get xml out of the database that looks like this using for xml auto <Clients> <Client ID="1"> <Employer="Company1" /> <Employer="Company2" /> <Contact type="phone"> <contact type="email" value="test@test.com"> <contact type="phone" value="555-5555"> </Client> <Client ID="2"> <Employer="Company3" /> <Employer="Company4" /> <Contact type="phone"> <contact type="email" value="test@test.com"> <contact type="phone" value="555-5555"> </Client></Clients> The problem I am having is that Contact is nested inside employer when I select Employer before Contact and the opposite happens when I select Contact first. They both join to the Client table so I would assume they both should nest directly under Client. How do I get different fields to nest directly under the same element like above?

Hi all, I would like to have my SQL statement result to return an additional "column", automatically adding an "auto-increasing" number with it. So if I for example select all Dates older than today's date, I would want something like this:
1 10/12/2006
2 10/18/2006
3 10/20/2006
4 10/22/2006
5 10/30/2006 Keep in mind that it's not my intention to fysically insert the "counting" column into the table, but rather do it "virtually". Is this possible? And if yes, how ? :)
Hi All, I want to write a console application to send email. There is a Date field in the SQL Server and I need to send email 2 weeks before that date.I have no idea how to write a console application and make it work.Does anybody have code for this? If so please post it. Thanks a lot, Kumar.
It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.
Hello, Firstly Hello to everyone I'm new the forum and fairly new to .net I'm working on web datbase application using visual studios 05 and MS SQL05 I've used 2003 (briefly) before but 2005 is very new to me. To my problem I download the GUI interface from microsoft so I can now setup a local database and do my own testing. I have created the table and fields with in it however on a particular table i have made a primary Key and left it as an INT but I would like to set it as auto increment ! I dont know how to select that option as i was used to mysql way of doing things or does this have to be done as a stored procedure ? Any assistance much appreciated.
I am very new to using SQL server 7. I've always used mysql in the past. I cant figure out howto create a autoincrementing key for my tables... is it possible to do in SQL7?? If so.. how.. i thought you just set the datatype to auto increment etc...
