my sql settings. Thanks

I am trying to create a database and I manage to get the code right for dropping the database if it already exists and then createing the data file and log file. After this I try to set some options for the database with the following code
ALTER DATABASE MyDataWarehouse
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE,
ANSI_NULLS ON,
ANSI_PADDING ON,
ANSI_WARNINGS ON,
ARITHABORT ON,
CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON,
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON,
NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF,
PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM,
ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON;
GO
But I get an error saying Incorrect syntax near 'CHECKSUM'.
I know how to access different tables on the same server by prefixingthe table with the database name. Is there anyway to prefix theserver name to link two tables across servers? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used this query statement with a SQL Server 2005 database and need to use something similar with an Access database:
SELECT products.*, Category AS Expr1
FROM products
WHERE (Category = @Category)
When I test this in a table adapter there is no preview due to lack of parameter. I seem to recall that Access uses different syntax in the WHERE filter clause (i.e., not @). Can someone help me out with this?
Hi
I have a database with an '-' in the name. If I try and backup the database I get an error saying Incorrect syntax near '-'. This off course means the '-' is an illegal character but is there a way around this

Hi all,
I'm trying to attach a database file and it's associated database log file to SQL Server. However I am using the 'SQLDataRoot' value from the registry to determine the absolute path to the DB file and DB log file. Like so...
USE [master]
DECLARE @RC int
/* read path to SQL Server Express Data directory from registry */
DECLARE @sql_server_data_dir sysname
EXEC @RC = master..xp_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup',N'SQLDataRoot', @sql_server_data_dir OUTPUT
SET @sql_server_data_dir = @sql_server_data_dir + N'Data'
CREATE DATABASE [PROJECT_DB] ON
(FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB.mdf'''),
(FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB_log.ldf''') FOR ATTACH;
GO
I have also tried using the sp_attach_db stored procedure as follows
EXEC @RC = dbo.sp_attach_db 'PROJECT_DB',
'''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB.mdf''',
'''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB_log.ldf'''
They both the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 18
Incorrect syntax near '+'.
The quotes in the calls are single quotes not double quotes in case someone queries that. Thank you.

MS SQL Server 2005 Express.
I'm trying to connect to Access DB (having System Database) via OPENROWSET.
Everything (client, server and access file) is on local drive.
This works (ODBC):
select *
from openrowset('MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;Uid=me;Pwd=pw;',
'select * from [Mbk]')
This works (Jet.OLEDB):
select *
from opendatasource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=C:MBK.mdb;Jet OLEDBystem Database=C:SECURED.MDW;User ID=me;Password=pw;')
...Mbk
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select *
from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;System Database=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;',
'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "Wrong argument".
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select *
from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;',
'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "There are no permissions for usage of object C:MBK.mdb". It seems that it simply hasn't found system database file C:SECURED.MDW, cause when I change SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW to something like BlahBlahBlah=C:SECURED.MDW the same message is shown.
So, what is the right syntax for stating System Database in OPENROWSET query string? And why 'System Database' won't work?
Thank you.
Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?
Thanks!
Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:
SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',
)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................
how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to create a view, but I am having trouble with the syntax (go figure!). It seems that as I reference more and more tables, my result set becomes smaller. For example, I want to return the state for all my customers then everything is fine, but when I want the state plus the site type (home, office, etc.) then I return fewer results. What is would be the correct syntax to use to return all the rows even if some of the columns have NULL?
SELECT TimeZone.LongZone, SiteMain.SiteNumber,
SiteType.SiteTypeDescription

Table Datatest Table B
ID Q1 Q2 Output ID Field1 Field2

Everytime someone adds a record to Table Datatest I want that ID

added to Table B.
What is the best way to do that? Is this were I use a trigger and
an

How do I add the results from a case to the same table using a trigger?
Like: 100 for ID 1
223 for ID 2
SELECT ID,

Hello members, I have a trouble in retrieve correct query by SQL syntax. Ok I have use
SELECT * FROM tableOne WHERE UserID = 'mugun' AND First_Name LIKE '%tom%' OR Last_Name LIKE '%tom%' ORDER by First_Name ASC
Ok the probem is lets say, we have name TomCruise in our DB in First_NAme and Last_Name column. It return a correct value which is TomCruise. But if we change the syntax like this:
SELECT * FROM tableOne WHERE UserID = 'mugun' AND First_Name LIKE '%tomcruise%' OR Last_Name LIKE '%tomcruise%' ORDER by First_Name ASC
There is no result for the above statement. Why? Please help me . Thanx in advanced.
Here is the scenario:
Table A has customer info (name and address)
Table B is a phone log table...a new row is created for each new call. In the table is a Date (when the customer was called) and a column named 'stage' that will be filled out either with the word 'follow up', 'dead', or null.
So the relationship from Table A to B is 1 to many, respectively.
I want to ask the two tables this question: Give me name and address (from Table A) and LATEST date customer was called, but ONLY if the 'stage' column says 'follow up'.
Here is the problem...Dr. Jones has three rows in Table B, his latest call was today, but stage is set to 'dead'.
His second line in the table was called yesterday, with the designation of 'follow up'.
When I run my query, I pull out the row from yesterday, since it meets the criteria of 'follow up'....but this is wrong, as I only want the latest designation of 'follow up' IF its the lastest date for this customer.
Here is my syntax:
SELECT DISTINCT
MAX(tableB.date) AS latestdate, tableA.CONTACT, tableA.ADDRESS1,
FROM tableB INNER JOINTableA ON TableB.ACCOUNTNO = TableA.ACCOUNTNO
GROUP BY tableA.CONTACT, CONTACT1.ADDRESS1
HAVING (tableb.stage = 'follow-up')
Please help...thank you
Here is my situation:
Table A has three columns (aaa1, aaa2, aaa3)
Table B has three columns (bbb1, bbb2, bbb3)
Common field is aaa1 = bbb1
I write a query that retrieves 3 rows out of table a
(select aaa2, aaa3
from table a
where (aaa2 = green) and (aaa3 = yellow))
----------------------------------------------------------
When I now create a left outer join onto Table b, and add one more additional criteria to the where exisiting ones(aaa2=green,aaa3=yellow) which is bbb2='white', I expect to at least see my original three rows of data (since of my left outer join), but now only receive 2 rows of data, since the third row does not have bbb2 as white.
Im confused...I was expecting to see three rows of data, with the bbb2 column being null for the third row....but instead I only get two rows of data...how can I write my query that will give me what I expected ?
Thank you
