Hi! I'm new to SQL Server 7 and I hope I could get some help. I'd like to duplicate an empty database and use the duplicate for the transactions. I want the empty database to somehow act like a template so, whenever I want to, I could create a new instance of it. Problem is I don't know if it is possible to do that on SQL server (it's possible in Access). If it is possible, I hope any of you could tell me how. Thanks.
View 1 RepliesHi. I'm running VS2005 and trying to use the SQL Database installed template (right-click my project in Solution Explorer / Add / New Item / SQL Database template ("An empty SQL database for local data") to create an MDF file per the "AbsoluteBeginner-Lesson08" video available on MSDN. When I click "Add", I get an error stating that "Connections to SQL Server files require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=49251". I'm running SQL 2000, SQL 2005 and SQL Express 2005 (all work and can be hit from Management Studio) on 2003 Server. I'm assuming that it's because the Express instance is a named instance, not the default but I can't find any references. Anybody else had this probelm? Thanks.

database.I would be doing this inside of a web app during an event.How do I set this up on SQL 2005 ?Thanks!Here's an article on how to do it in PostgreSQL http://www.enterprisedb.com/documentation/manage-ag-templatedbs.html
Hi All,
I'm working on a web application where the user needs to be able to create and name new databases that are identical in structure to other existing databases (that is, all tables, stored procedures, functions, indexes, etc.). This is so that they can create a new database for each client and need to be able to do this through the web application. Having hunted around a fair bit, I've established that SMO is capable of doing pretty much everything that I want. The only problem is that everything I do seems to be based on the actual SQL Server and associated databases rather than the ones I have created in the App_Data folder.
The relevant code (so far) is:Dim sqlServer As New Server()
With sqlServer.ConnectionContext
.ServerInstance = "(local)"
.Connect()
.Disconnect()
End With
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
Next
Dim newDatabase As New Database(sqlServer, DbName.Text.ToString)
newDatabase.Create()
This does actaully create a new database, just not where I want it! Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I can create a copy of a database in the App_Data folder?
Thanks & regards,
Paul
I created a database called sports and then created a table which I'm going to use as a template for other tables within the same database.
What is the proper way to structure and implement copying this template table?
Should I store the template table under the system tables folder?
How do I copy the template table and create a new table from this template?
Thanks you

Per MSDN instructions I downloaded the folliwng: .NET Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Compact 3.5, and Visual Basic Expess Edition. When following the tutorial to create a database, I was never able to see the Local Database template. I am taking the programming lessons in VB, and I am up to Creating Your First Datatbase. It is a requirement that SQL Server Compact 3.5 be installed. Which I have done.
Somehow I have saved an sp as a template - how do I delete it ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to import data from a CSV file into a db I'm designing. I figured I'd use DTS (which I understand now uses VS in the form of a 'Business Intelligence' (BI) project). My problem is that my only choices for BI projects are:
Analysis Service Project, Import Analysis Services 9.0 Database, Integration Services Project, Report Server Project Wizard, Report Model Project, Report Server Project.
No "Data Transformation Project".
I have SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition. Might it be that DTS is not included in that version?
If I can't use DTS, what choices do I have?
Hello,
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to run the logtemp.sql script that is included with IIS4 for ODBC logging. Any help would be appreciated.
In Enterprise Manager when I bring up Trigger Properties there is an active button titled "Save as Template". But when I switch to an existing trigger the button is disabled. Oddly, the Help file for the dialog box doesn't even mention this button.
Anybody know what this does, how it works, or why it would be usefull? Any references to The Holy Book would be helpfull.
HI,
how can I specify the number of records that have to be sent back dynamically in an Xml Template?
I am currently busy developing a client-server application that pulls data from an Sql Server via Xml. If the client application has a bad connection to the server, the program has to get the data in small portions.
When I use:
SELECT TOP @amount *
FROM employees
I get the error: syntax near '@amount'.
The query fails as wel when I tried to use:
SET ROWCOUNT @amount
SELECT *
FROM employees
SET ROWCOUNT 0
This works fine in Sql analyser, but sql doesn't allow the integers to be parameters and casting them to int does not work either.
thanks for your help!

Hi,
Is there any way to change path for template explorer? Default path for SQL templates is ..Application DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsShellTemplatesSql. I have scripts & would like to share with my teammates. Is there any way to set this path to a common folder so that whenever anybody connects with their login to our TS server, they should be able to see these scripts in template explorer.
Thanks in advance

Hi,Suppose I have a table something like:name (VARCHAR(64)) age (INT) quotation (TEXT)=================================================Donald Trump 50 I am richBugs Bunny 26 What's up doc...and a template string something like:SET @template = 'My name is {name}, my age is {age}, and I always say"{quotation}".'I'd like to be able to dynamically replace the placeholders in thetemplate string with values extracted from the corresponding columns inthe table, so I'd get a set of results like:'My name is Donald Trump, my age is 50, and I always say "I am rich".'The best I've come up with so far is:SET @Query = 'SELECT '''+ REPLACE(REPLACE(@String, '{', '''+CONVERT(varchar,'),'}', ')+''')+ ''' FROM Table'EXEC (@Query)This converts the template string into a query string, castingeverything to avarchar to allow numeric values to work. In this case it would be:SELECT 'My name is '+CONVERT(varchar,name)+', my age is '+CONVERT(varchar,age)+', and I always say "'+CONVERT(varchar,quotation)+'".'The problem with this is that if the length of a varchar isunspecified, it defaults to 30, which truncates long string values.Can anyone figure out a way round this, or perhaps an alternativemethod entirely?--Oli
View 5 Replies View RelatedThere is a base-installed template for a stored procedure called "Create Procedure with CURSOR OUT" which has this snippet:
EXEC <Schema_Name, sysname, Schema_Name>.<Procedure_Name, sysname, Procedure_Name> <@proc_cursor_name, , @sample_procedure_cursor> = <@variable_cursor_name, , @test_cursor_variable> OUTPUT
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
FETCH NEXT FROM <@variable_cursor_name, , @test_cursor_variable>
PRINT 'put user defined code here'
END
But even after instantiating it - it doesn't work. The "FETCH_STATUS" must be seeded with a prior "FETCH" before it has any meaning. This leads me to ask: (1) how could such a widely circulated template have such a conspicuous error and (2) why doesn't TSQL have a looping mechanism that does not require such awkward FETCH "pre-seeding"?
p.s. How do I insert code into a forum post that is single-spaced, rather than duoble-spaced (like my ugly double-spaced snippet above)
I have created a template like report which is all working correctly. The report shows a order slip for all orders that are in a certain pick, and has a list of all products for each order. (so a list of products is printed for each order in the pick)
The question I have is, when the order is very long ie doesnt fit in 1 page, I need someway of the user easily knowing that there is more than 1 page... ie it should be Page 1 of 2... but in the whole report it may be Page 56 of 60.... is there a way of doing this??? or something similar...
I hope i have made myself clear... and would be VERY garteful for any ideas, im bit lost!...
Thanks

HI
I want to create a report template in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
The template will have a fixed header and footer.I want to use this template in all my reports.
How to do so?
Hello All,
Can someone tell me how to achieve this template of the report:
Initially when not expanded
+Item number
- - - - - -(these are summed values)
After expnading the fields(+)
-Item number
-item name
[ (details)
[ (details)
[ (details)
- - - -(summed values)
Right now, I can achive the second scenario (expanded one) but initially my report just comes up with
+Item number
and the second line (summed values) are not in there . Any sort of help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to create a new stored procedure, function, etc. I get a default template... is there anyway to replace this template with one of my own?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need some feedback on how this sql is perfroming a cast. I have used CAST before, but I amlooking at a stored procedure, and the CAST looks slightly different. Usually when I do acast, it is of the form CAST(ColumnName,DataType) but this cast is slightly different as theyappear to be using some type of template to cast with. Here is the code. I will put line numbers in for reference.
1 CREATE TABLE #Groups2 (PartyId uniqueidentifier)3 INSERT INTO #Groups (PartyId)4 SELECT PartyId5 FROM ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId(@PartyId)67 IF (@PortalId = CAST('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' AS uniqueidentifier) AND88 @TabId = CAST('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' AS uniqueidentifier))0 BEGIN
Also just to let you know, the the values PartyId, and PortalId are GUIDS.
So, I guess my question is, are they using a kind of template to format the data? So look at lines7 and 8. Are they using some type of template to signal the compiler, that the data will be of thatformat and will be seperated by dash symbols?

Hello,
I'm trying to get to grips with SQL Server 2005.
One of the things I want to do is provide members of my team with a stored procedure template that they can use which has special error handling code in it , etc
I found my way to the template explorer and created a new template that I want to use to create stored procedures in certain circumstances (but not ALL circumstances)
But now I can't figure out how to specify WHICH template to use when creating a stored procedure.
Like, when I click on the Programmability/Stored Procedures node and then right click and select New Stored Procedure... it just uses the Basic Template.. but I'd like to be able to elect to use my alternative template to create the stored proc.
So, what are the correct steps to follow? do i just double click my new template in Template Explorer? And then have to go Query/Specify Values for Template Parameters ? Or what?
If this is the way to do it then it seems very clunky really....
Thanks
In SQL2000, there's an option to change the location of the template folder. This allows me to create a customized set of templates on a network folder and have all the developers reference the centralized location. Can the same be done in SQL2005 and how would I go about doing so?
Thanks.
