I'm still using the the SQL Server 2005 June CTP to develop. I'm working for a client that intends to upgrade, but has not done so yet. We believed that we had 365 days from the date of installation before it would expire (late July). But Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 just expired, which is used by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, so now we can no longer develop SSIS packages or Reporting Services reports.
What can I do?
I thought that maybe installing Visual Studio 2005 express might work, but when I went there, it seems that it is split up into modules (e.g. Visual Basic 2005 express, Visual C++ express, etc...). I don't know if just one of these would be sufficient and if so, which one. Even if it would, it says I'll need to completely remove the SQL Server 2005 beta, as well as the Visual Studio 2005 beta, and I think the .net framework.
My contract is up at the end of June, and it was understood that the client was going to take care of the upgrade. Is there a quick fix here? What can I do with minimal effort? (I don't really have time to wait for the client to get the upgrade approved and done. I know, sniff, sniff! lol.)

My challenge is that I need to write a stored procedure for example, that will find the PrizeID associated with the 4th count of the PromotionID that equals 1 . So in this example, counting to the 4th PromotionID that equalls 1 give us a PrizeID of 5.
I hope I've made myself clear! Can anyone write out a mini SP on how to do this.

I'm trying to retrieve a batch of 'smaller' periods from this where the relevant period is a number (of months) passed as a parameter (only ever 1, 3 or 6)
for example, if the parameter is 1 I will obtain the following rows each being a 1 month period starting at the xperiod.startdate value up to an end date of the xperiod.enddate value startperiod endperiod '2004-04-01 00:00:00.000' '2004-04-30 00:00:00.000' '2004-05-01 00:00:00.000' '2004-05-31 00:00:00.000' '2004-05-01 00:00:00.000' '2004-05-31 00:00:00.000'
and so on to '2012-03-01 00:00:00.000' '2012-03-31 00:00:00.000'
if the parameter is 3 I will obtain the following rows each being a 3 month period starting at the xperiod.startdate value up to an end date of the xperiod.enddate value

This is more of an SQL server question than ASP.net. A stored proc named MyStoredProc is created by admin account (sa) thus the owner of that proce is dbo. When I log in to the database (Query Analyzer) as another login say User1, I can not use that stored proc since it was owned by sa. I get an error 'Invalid Object Name' or Object does not exist. If I use the proper name qualifier like dbo.MyStoredProc, It works in the Query analyzser. The problem I am facing is - My stored procedures, Views, Tables were created by sa on the development machine. Now its time for deployment. On the deployment machine, I am not the sa. I just belong to the db_Owner role. I have to log in as User1 and not as sa. In my c# code I have called the stored procedure as MyStoredProc. I get an error 'MyStoredProc does not exist' since I am loging in as User1 and not sa. In order to use the code, I have to change the ownership to this (and all other objects) to User1. Is that the only way out or I am doing something wrong/missing someting? Your coments/opinions/suggestions welcome.
I have two tables, both with phone numbers and call times.
one is for incoming calls, one for outgoing calls.
I need to find all phone numbers from the incoming calls table where the number of calls exceeds 100 within the last 30 days, where the last call was within the last 15 mins, and where the number does Not exist in the outgoing call table within the last 30 days.
so far I have this... (call record is the incoming, callout is the outgoin)
I believe this is giving me all records in the call record table that are within the last month, and not in the outgoing call table OR have not ben called within the last month..
SELECT cr.cli,min(cr.starttime)as "first call",max(cr.starttime)as "last call",count(cr.cli) as "number of calls" FROM callrecord cr LEFT JOIN callout co ON cr.cli = co.cli where (co.cli is null or datediff(dy,co.calltime,getdate())>30 ) and datediff(dy,cr.starttime,getdate())>30 group by cr.cli order by cr.cli
i need to add in the 15 minute call check, and also only return those with a count of > 100
I am using SQL server 2000. While using query analyzer I am facing problem. If a query has group by clause and if that query is not fetching any record (i.e. query is returning nothing), then in this situation, I want zero to be displayed where datatype of field is integer and "-" if datatype of field is varchar.
Please give me solution as soon as possible, a kind request.
Facing problem for the below mentioned query:-
select IsD.ItemCode, case when sum(IsD.IssuedQty) is null then 0 else sum(IsD.IssuedQty) end as IssuedToday from Inv_IssueMaster IsM, Inv_IssueDetail IsD where IsM.IssueNo=IsD.IssueNo group by IsD.ItemCode
In the above mentioned query, datatype of IssuedQty is int and for ItemCode it's varchar.
Hello, Harry Half wit here!! I know that snapshot replication is the simplest form of syncing with SQL server and I can't even figure that out today!!. I keep getting myself confused as to who should be configured to be a publisher, distibutor or subscriber etc etc. My scenario is simple: 1 server creating a daily snapshot of a table and then 1 remote laptop (msde) pulls the snapshot into it's own database. Heres what i did so far; I configured the server to be a publisher and distributor (is that right?) and didn't set up any subscribers because i want to do that from my remote. From the remote I did nothing but go into EM tools"create new pull subscription" but I cannot see the publication on the server.
SHould I set my remote to be a distributor to do this?
i am having a hell of a time trying to understand how im supposed to use the reporting services integrated with sql server 2005 express - advanced. i have searched high and low throughout vb 2005 express for the relevant controls, and i have searched the management studio trying to find the relevant information. there is no reporting server anywhere that i can see. i simply installed the sqlexpr_adv.exe and assumed that all the relevant features would be automatically installed. i cant find them anywhere (also something about a business intelligence thing? also missing). i would be extremely grateful if somebody could help me
I've got a stored procedure and one of the parameters is a DateTime. But no matter what I do to the string that's passed into the form for that field, it doesn't like the format. Here's my code: SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(KPFData.getConnectionString()); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("KPFSearchName", conn); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
No matter what I do I always get a formatting error - either I can't convert the string to a DateTime, or the SqlParameter is in the incorrect format, or something along those lines. I've spent a couple hours on this and hoping someone can point out my obvious mistake here...??Thanks for your help!!eddie

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the groups about linkingto an Access mdb with the SQL Server Jet OLE DB provider and I haventbeen able to find a straight forward solution. Basically, I have anAccess MDB (A2K) on one server and a SQL Server DB (2005 std ed.) onanother - Both on the same network. I'm trying to create a linkedserver object in the SQL server to view data in the mdb. I've set itup and it works - but only from the server machine itself. If you tryto connect the the linked server from any other computer on thenetwork you get the usual access denied / file in use error.The fact that I can use the linked server from the server box itselfbut not from another pc on the network makes me think that it may be apermissions problem. But I am logging in with full Admin rights andstill no joy. Also there is no workgroup security on the mdb, so thatsnot the problem. I've used the surface editor to remove anyrestrictions that may cause problems, OLE DB connect, OPENROWSET etc.but still no joy.I've tried mapping the mdb's location on the server so I could use astandard filepath, rather than a //Server-Name/... path. Again, worksfrom the server, but not from any client PCs, so no joy there either.In frustration, I copied the mdb to the same server and viola - fullaccess to the linked server from anywhere. But this is no good, I needthe mdb file to stay where it is. An mdb full of linked tables wontwork... they don't show up in the linked server.So that's it - out of ideas! Am I just going to have to accept thatlinked server objects are limited just to mdb files on the same servermachine, or is there something I'm missing??? Firewalls, servicelogins, server settings.... something one of you gurus out there knowabout that might be the key to making my headache go away!!!Any input gratefully recieved!!!
Hi,I am having problems getting anything useful out of the index tuningwizard.I have created a table and inserted data into it.

I am currently importing (and exporting) binary flat files to and from Db fields using the TEXTPTR and UPDATETEXT (or READTEXT for export) functions. This allows me to fetch/send the data in manageable packet sizes without the need to load complete files into RAM first.
Given that some files can be up to 1Gb in size I am keen to find out a new way of doing this since the announcement that TEXTPTR, READTEXT and UPDATETEXT are going to be removed from T-SQL.
I had a quick foray into SSIS but couldn't find anything suitable which brings me back to T-SQL. If anyone knows a nice elegant way of doing this and is prepared to share, that would be grand.
While trying to 'tidy up' I ran into this error when trying to ininstall an SQL 7.0 beta: 'Unable to locate the installation log file C:MSSQL7Uninst.isu Uninstall will not continue'.
Search confirms that such a file is not present. I would reinstall (with the final product) then try Uninstall again, but disk space prohibits this.
Does anyone knowns when Microsoft release SQL Server 7.0 (beta version). Because what I heard was they support to ship out between June 1 and June 8. If you have information, please cc to me. Thanks a lot for your information.
Is it possible to get a list of all the fixes and enhancements that are going into SP1 for SSIS? This will make it alot easier to test seeing as we will know what we are looking for.
Greetings, I seem to be getting a problem during installing SQL 7.0 over the SQL 7.0 beta. It tells me that there are ODBC components need to be upgraded and they are read only ... I can find no way of changing this.
Alternatively if I remove the beta and then install the proper version, will all the old db created under the beta still be recognised ?

This feels like a silly question, but I`m going to ask it anyway...
I have limited SQL Server experience, but have run into a wall with a client`s Web/Access combination. I need to upgrade to SQL Server. I have Beta3 installed on a development box and am very happy with it. Is anyone running this thing in a production environment? This isn`t going to be experience huge loads, so I`m tempted. Tell me if I`m crazy for wanting to try it.
Hello,This is driving me nuts!! I haveWindows 2000 server SP4visual studio 2003 (.net framwork 1.0)visual studio 2005 beta (.net framework 2.0)I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 and I get this error when Istart the setup processThe procedure entry point _vswprintf_c_l could not be located in the dynamiclink library MSVCR80.dllCan anyone help???Matthew WellsJoin Bytes!
What's the deal with SQLServer 2005 Beta?I've just got a magazine with a free cover disk with VB 2005 beta,and also includes SQLServer 2005. I've installed it, but I can't get itto do anything. It seems to have installed ok, there are the data filesfor allthe usual system and example databases in place, and TaskManager shows that SQLServer is definitely running. However theonly tool that came with it is called 'Computer Management' whichallows configuration options on the network, and to start and stopSQL Server. There are none of the Enterprise Manager controls toaccess the database, create tables, create users and so on. Enterprisemanager from SQL Server 2000 seems unable to detect the newinstallation.What's going on? Are there client tools I can download to access thedatabase with?
I would just like to give my feedback on the configuration packages implementation in SSIS:
THIS STUFF SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER AS IT IS A COMMON REQUIREMENT ON ETL PROJECTS.
I have trolled through these forums and found that I am not alone on this issue. Note for SSIS Team: Please bring out a HOWTO on this subject that details all the little work arounds because intuitively used it does not work.
Consider this:
I develop in BIDS on my client and everything runs. I create a config package and I choose only the Name and ConnectionString Properties for each Connection Manager. (Thanks to Jamie for that tip)
I build the app and a deployment utility is created. I navigate to the deployment directory, and deploy. I point to a mapped share on the production server, change all the properties for production and continue until finished.
On the production server I run a script containing:
Still: Cannot find the configuration file: source.dtsConfig
I have to MANUALLY edit the dtsx file to put the path in from the the name of the config file and THEN it works.
Thinking that it might not like a mapped share from desktop to deploy to, I copIED the contents of the depLoyMENT directory on my desktop to a folder on the production server and deploy from there. It should pick up the proper path from there. NOT!!!!
So it was back to editing the dtsx file.
So there you have it. I await all comments with great interest.
I hope this is all fixed in SP2, Because I don't want to waste anymore time on what should be a simple task.
if anyone could help me out with this I would be most grateful.
At one customers site for some reason SQL Server Beta V 9.00.0852 has been installed the version I have is SQL Server V 9.00.1399. I need to test various things on our customers database however when I take a backup and come to restore the database against my version of SQL there is a version incompatibility.
Therefore I have the option of updating the backup in some way so it's compatible, from what I've researched I don't think this is possible. The other option is to install the SQL Server Beta V 9.00.0852 however I can't find it anywhere.
If anyone could help me out it with this it would be much appreciated.
When I installed Visual Studi C# Express, SQL Server Express was not installed because SQL Server Beta was already there. I tried to uninstall SQL Server Beta several times and failed to do so through Add/Remove Programs. Accidentally, I uninstalled SQL Server Set-up programs from Add/Remove and consequently, I am unable to uninstall SQL Server Beta through Add/Remove anymore.
Is there a utility to download that enable me to uninstall SQL Server Beta? I have no way to install SQL Server Express without removing the previous version. It seems to be a real problem from the many questions I found on MSDN.
I'm running VS2008 beta2. I've succefully added a SDF database file to my project and created a couple of tables in it from VS. I added a reference to the System.Data.SqlCeConnection. When I try to create a new instance of the SqlCeConnection class I get a nasty error that states I'm missing the 'sqlceme35.dll' file. I copy all of the files .dll into by bin folder. Now I'm getting a BadImageFormat error when I create an instance. Does anyone know what that means? or why I had to copy those files to begin with? This is very odd. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to SqlCe.
I installed the beta version first and it was working fine, then I obtained a copy of SQL Server 200 Enterpirse Edition and installed it. But I can't connect to the beta SQL Server 2005 Instance on my computer through Enterprise Mananger, but I can in Query Analyzer. ANyone know why?
