I am having one question about discretization of continous attributes
values. How does it work? I need this information for my thesis. I have a
continous attribut, namely SKS, with range 0-20. When I use Microsoft
Decision Tree algorithm, this attribut split in SKS <= 18 and SKS > 18. I
want to know how does it find 18 as a number to split not the other.
One question again about Microsoft Decision Tree algorithm, about
Complexity_Penalty parameter. How does it affect the algorithm? For example,
if I set this value=0.1 what does it mean and how does it correspond with
growth tree?
Thanks a lot before for your kindness to answer my questions.. :-)
I had to change the key columns of a dimension attribute to fix an error. I did this in BIDS. The change was from a single key column to a composite key column. Now I am getting these error when I process the cube:
Measure group attribute key column x does not match source attribute ..
I looked at the cube XMLA definition under mesaure groups and it still shows a single key column with inherited binding. However, the BIDS does not give me an option correct this in any way. I have had to do this once before and the only option seems to be removing the dimension from the cube and add it back in. But that is very error prone since I lose any specific settings at the cube dimension level not to mention aggregations no longer include the dimension, etc.
Not seeing an alternative, I went through each measure group (I have 7) and changed the key columns manually in the XMLA and saved the cube. This worked, but I don't understand why BIDS automatically doesn't do it.
Is this a flaw in the BIDS or I should be missing something.

I am fairly new to SQL 2005 and have taken over a migration project from 2000 to 2005 and one of our scheduled jobs seem to run forever, but do not have errors. This did not happen in the past so I was wondering if the agent settings for Replication Merge has the -Continuous parameter will the job ever complete or does it really run "continuously"?
l've a series of day which record the date of an event. l would like to count the # of continuous days for the event. In this case, it would be 14/5, 15/5, 16/5, 17/5, 18/5, 19/5 and 20/5. Any idea to do this in SQL?
I have a question regarding whether or not Data Mining can be utilized in a specific problem I have to solve.
Situation: I€™m going to simplify the problem by explaining it in terms of a €śpizza manufacturer€?. Suppose I wanted to predict the run minutes + downtime minutes (I use these to get an hourly rate: Pizzas/(run hrs + delay hrs) = Pizzas per hour) by looking at a set of input properties.
My properties could be something like the following: # of Toppings # of Special Pricing Stickers Cardboard Box Indicator Case Indicator (0 represents auto-casing, 1 represents putting in case by hand) Machine Type (0 or 1€¦ 0 represents an older €“slower machine, 1 is newer) Quantity of Run (there could be up to 15 other properties that may or may not impact our rate)
Measured Values: Run Minutes Delay (down) minutes
Steps I€™ve Done So Far: I€™ve created a couple different data mining models for this as I was unsure which one(s) to use. I checked the lift chart while feeding back in the original data set and my scatter plot appeared fairly inaccurate.
I've attempted to use Excel to create a linear regression, however my r squared value was always around .30. I decided to try to use SQL Server Data Mining to see if it could be something to help predict our accuracy better than a linear formula.
I've played with a couple different algorithms in Data Mining, and it appeared that none of them did exceptionally well with prediction. I even checked the lift chart using the same table as I used to train the model.
What algorithm(s) might work the best? Can I reasonably expect a prediction within a fairly strict tolerance (I'm guessing the answer to this is: "yes, if your source data represents a consistent pattern")? How can I best utilize Data Mining to give an answer like "historically, your run rate has been between these 2 values with a probability of X". I'm thinking I can utilize the predictprobability and stdev to some extent.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone needs further clarification, please let me know.
Hi All, I was wondering if there was a way to specify a range when training a model to predict continuous variables. For instance, the predicted variable can only have a range of 1 - 10.
Does anyone know exactly how to create a trace that runs continuously on a server and writes the data to a table? Now I know how to create a trace file with the profiler, but I want something set up so that I don't have to have the profiler running on the server all the time. As well as soemthing that will restart itself if the server is rebooted. I have been looking at these x(xp_trace.*) procedures. Is this the way to do it?
I have to trap login information in a table and have a scheduled job that runs once a month and look for specific data in the table and send out e-mails based on certain values.
I have written the procedure which does this I just need to know how to set up the trace so it runs in the background continuously.
I have a table with below data. Requirement is to replace all integers with continuous 6 or more occurrences with 'x'. Less than 6 occurrences should not be replaced.
create table t1(name varchar (100)) GO INsert into t1 select '1234ABC123456XYZ1234567890ADS' GO INsert into t1 select 'cbv736456XYZ543534534545XLS' GO
I'm currently creating a SSIS package that takes data from 3 unique databases. A SQL DB, FoxPro DB, and an Oracle DB. The data is pulled, cleansed and put into a single SQL 2005 table. The data is then pulled from this table every 15 minutes, formated in a given specification and uploaded to an ftp site. This part is done. My question is this:
This package needs to run around the clock, non-stop. How can package be set up to do this? It needs to pull data from the 3 DBs and put it in the common table, wait 15 minutes and do it again. Wait 15 more mintues and do it again. And so forth. A problem I'm having is I don't see a way to set up a SSIS package so that it runs around the clock.
On same premise, I have another issue. When I try to take data from the common table and there is nothing there, it causes an error. Is there some way that you can run a test like
SELECT * FROM _table_ WHERE is_sent = 0
if results == 0 { wait 15 minutes and test again. } else if
{ write flat file, wait 15 minutes. }
This has to be done in the Control Flow scope, so I can't use a conditional split. This is a pretty big deal as this needs to run around the clock. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I was wondering if anybody knows how to solve this problem. Here's the setup.
There is an ASP.NET application running on a local web server at the customer's location, it currently uses a MSDE backend database. There is a copy of the application on the customer's webhosting company so it can be accessed from outside the customer's location it is running on a full version of SQL Server 2000. We have this setup because the customer's ISP is not very reliable and the customer needs to be able to use the application even when their web connection is down. It is also used from outside their location by sales people and management and remote offices. The problem is we want to keep both databases synchronized together. We had been using Merge Replication which was working fine until the local ID jumped because it had run out of allocated identities. This causes a problem for their accounting because now there is a gap in the document's numbers.
Is there a way to have the identity field (or a generated document number) to remain continuous and unique across both databases? This needs to also work if one of the databases were to go down for a time or lose connectivity between the two servers. I'm looking for any option. We also have the option of upgrading the application to SQL Server 2005 if needed. Any ideas are appreciated.
I have set up merge replication and it works nicely.
I have set it up to work continuously, because I thought that if it can't find the subscriber or is offline then that's fine it will just sync again when it's back on line.
This is true
BUT it keeps throwing lots of messages into the event log to tell me the merge has failed.
SO
a. Can i just turn off the error reporting
or
b. How can I get it to sync this way automatically on connection without the error messages
I have one data pump in a series that was pumping in too many records. Doing an independent query of the source table, I found there was about 140,000 records. My pump uses a variable for the source query, nothing fancy just a simple SELECT * FROM table WHERE DateField > '4/6/2006 12:00:00AM'. The Destination is local on the SQL Server and is set by a variable, and does a fast load. When I went away and checked in BIDS while it was running (the data flow tab where you can see the record count) it was at 28,000,000 and still going!
Any ideas what could be causing this? As I say there are only 140,000 records and no joins in the query--is this a bug someone has run into before?
It seems i face a problem with the Microsoft Decision Trees model when i have a predictable variable that is continuous. I have created the whole model according to the AdventureWorks tutorial (and it informs me that the same procedure is followed with a continuous variable) and i have flagged the variable as continuous. Even though everything seems be going well, the results i get are not correct (after a cross check with another project already done and checked). Is there something i am missing or i skipped while creating the model? Any suggestions that may help me are appreciated Thank you in advance

I have SQL 2000 Server that had a database called ABC and it has been moved to another server on 5-15-2007 I kept ABC database in Read_only mode for few days (just in case) on old server and finally dropped it on 5-20-2007 and I think I forgot to drop the associated logins. I started seeing login failure for user 'xyz' in error logs When I first noticed the login failure error in SQL Server log for login xyz, I deleted xyz login but it did not stop the errors.
I have been trying from then and no luck in identifying the cause/ resolving this issue. I have ran SQL profiler trace and caught the user hostnames, NTusername in few cases and Application Name and contacted the Application owner & user (who are in the trace) to stop windows service/ schedule jobs..anything that is pointing to old server but the bad luck is they are not aware of anything running or pointing to old server. The worst part is the user whose hostnames are shown in the trace have never used ABC database and do not have any idea.
Here is what I found in the profiler trace: TextData LoginName NTUserName HostName ApplicationName Login failed for user 'xyz' xyz AB00007 WAB000007 Microsoft (r) Windows Script Host
Today I have created the xyz login in the server and assigned model database with reader permission to see if log some different error but nothing new (the same login failure error) Finally, I had no solution other than restoring the ABC database back to my old server and set it in to Read_Only mode to stop these errors and Now I see the login 'xyz' firing the query against the database
* Any hint or pointers why this is happening and any possible solution on this?
We have a table in our legacy database system representing health insurance polices. The customer can, and usually does, renew the policy after 12 months. The legacy database uses the renewal string "99/99/9999" to signify "continuous until cancelled", in other words, "forever", or until cancelled
We need to convert this legacy table into a sql 2005 table, which supports the concept of "forever". But how can we do this? ("99/99/999" is not a valid sql date type and we don't want to use varchar for dates.)

This generates a 2 column table that later in the stored procedure is sent out via sp_send_dbmail. The problem I'm having is that I want the right (2nd) column of the table to be right-aligned. For some reason, the line "
N'<col align="left"></col><col align="right"></col>' +" doesn't right-align the 2nd column when the report is sent through email (althought it does work if I take the generated string a use it to manually create an HTML file). So I want to add something like:
SET @html = REPLACE(@html, '<td', '<td align="right"')
but I still want the left column to be left-aligned, and this right-aligns everything. Is it possible for me to use REPLACE (or some other string function) to replace every other (alternating) "<td", or should I be looking at parsing this string using some 2005 XML features (unfortunately, using a CLR function to do this is not an option, since I am not allowed to turn that on on the server I'm using)? Thanks in advance.
