Say I have an object that can be created by some users and not others. And, I have a method something like - function createObject(userId as Integer, objectName as String). The method calls a stored procedure using the two input arguments as parameters.Now, what I am wondering is this; I am obviously going to check in my SP to ensure that the user has the rights to create the new object before inserting the new record, and there will be an output parameter to send the new record ID back to the method, but do Ia) have a separate output parameter to report on the success of the creation (e.g. @Err Int OUTPUT)b) use the existing output (used to send the new record ID back) and send an error code (e.g. if newRecordId = -9999)c) somehow try to cause a failure of the SP that can be caught in a try/catch blockThanks in advance,Martin
I need to store a list of parameters in a database. Each parameter has a name, description, comment and a value. Easy so far.
However the values are of different types. Each individual parameter has a value which may be of type int, decimal, string, boolean, custom type etc.
Which table design pattern is most appropriate? We have a heated in-house discussion and I need supporting arguments.
Options explored so far:
1) (De-)serializing the value to a string-type. 2) Adding a column for each type, using only one column at a time. 3) Adding extra value-tables, one table for each type. The disadvantages for each option are obvious and the basis for our discussion.
Your help in this matter will be appreciated. Regards, Tonn
I'm working on an application that allows users to set up scheduled time based reports. Each scheduled report creates a SQL Agent job associated with a schedule.The default time to fire these off is 8:00 AM. There are several hundred. DWH and it has no trouble running hundreds of reports all fired off at the same time.
There are several ETL processes and occasionally they don't complete before our verbal SLA of 8:00 AM.
My problem is on days where the ETL runs past 8:00 AM I wan't to hold these scheduled jobs from firing off.
I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?
Hi everyone. I'm developing a web search engine using asp and SQL Server 2000. I need to return records that matches with a string entered by users. In example, suppose my database to have this structure and it's filled like this:
ID NAME KEYWORDS --- ------- ----------- AA025 NAME1 attached, atic, common, business, hotels AA026 NAME2 headache, medicin, aspirins, heat, health AA027 NAME3 at, services, music, electronics
suppose that user enters 'at'. By now, i'm using this pattern '%<input_text>%'. So in this example, pattern would be '%at%'. As i remarked in the fields above, the three fields matches, and that's not what i'm looking for. I want that the result of that query be just the last field, with 'AA027' ID. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers.
hi can any one help me to get the pattern of 70-441 exam. i need information total number of question in the exam.. and will there be any simulation as 70-431 exam.
I've been trying to find and filter out data that can cause FOR XML to fail with the error:FOR XML could not serialize the data for node ?? because it contains a character (0x0006) which is not allowed in XML.I thought it would be simple, just identify the rows that don't match the XML spec URL...
However, the following doesn't work. select fieldname from tablename where fieldname like N'%[^'+nchar(0x9)+nchar(0xA)+nchar(0xD)+nchar(0x20)+N'-'+nchar(0xD7FF)+N']%'
Not only does this fail to find the offending rows, when I checked by inverted it by taking out the "^" it still returns no rows.When I reduced 0xD7FF down to 0xFF it returns data, but I cannot add the other range back in without all rows not matching.I've experimented with values and found 0x02E9 was the highest I could go without all values vanishing. Even then, numbers lower than that caused a large variation in the number of rows returned.My Field is NVarchar(100) in SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
We have a collection of charts, some of which we use the gray scale for the palette (users only have B&W printers). We need to use the same patterns in other charts for consistency. The only option I see in Edit Chart Value-->Appearance-->Series Style-->Fill is Gradient. Is there any way to pick a fill pattern?
The pattern is the diagonal lines slanting down from left to right. It is the third column in the gray scale, so I have tried to add a dummy column as the first column, so that my column would have this pattern. However, the chart allows for space width wise for the first column, so there is a blank space on the chart. I have the Data Output checked to No.
SELECT summaryFROM summariesWHERE CONTAINS(summary, <any of the values in phrasesToSearchFor>)
I've tried every weird permutation of the query I can think of, but can't find a way to make it work. Can anybody help?
Bonus Question:
I've got a function dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(userId) that returns a phrase depending on the value of userId. I want to get a result table of (userId, summary) where for every user, I use dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(userId) to figure out what to search the full-text catalog for. The docs say you can use a scalar function anywhere a scalar value is expected, but apparently that doesn't apply in this case -- you can't do CONTAINS(summary, dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(23))
I need a simple tSQL code that will produce an array sequence values that has gap with 2 or more consecutive values, which can vary - so 2 or 3 or 4 between sequence of number. For example, I want it to return a series with a gap or space of 2- So it should return 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10.. or a gap of 3 - 1,2 ,6,7,11,12.. etc I know a single gap is quite simple using a recursive cte, but I haven't been able to find how to get this kind of result.
hi i have a table with a column which contains a large paragraph of data. i need to search for a pattern within this text and update it.
for example the column contains 4096 char. within this text, i search for a pattern"qwerty" and convert it to "asdfgh". any ideas how this can be done? i'm using sql server 2000 i have to write something like UPDATE [DB].[dbo].[Table] SET [Column1] = '.............', WHERE .......... any help will be appreciated.
DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result. 2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS ( SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first' ) SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber FROM testctes CROSS APPLY [dbo].[PatternSplitLoop] (string, '%his%') ca
I've decalred this stored procedure with a simple where and like statement. The problem is I don't see any result. Here is my code
create procedure sp_Select_ProfileNames @NameSearch varchar(50) as select ProfileFirstName +' '+ ProfileLastName as ProfileName from Profiles where ProfileLastName like '%@NameSearch%';
When i change this line: where ProfileLastName like '%@NameSearch%'; to where ProfileLastName like '%Bil%';
I see names starting with Bil, but when i enter Bil as param, I don't get anything.
I am trying to do a select statement with SQL 2000 for all recordscontaining any number of lowercase letters. I have tried the following2 statements and they both seem to match both lowercase and uppercaseletters.SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name LIKE '%[a-z]%'SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name LIKE'%[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]%'Can anybody help?
I want to check for multiple patterns in a particular column. For one pattern I can write e.g. SELECT * FROM <TablName> WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%abcd%'.
My requirment is to select all rows for which column value matches with many patterns.I will fetch the patterns in a subquery e.g. (SELECT '%'+name+'%' FROM <TableName>)
I need a table value function for extracting strings matching a particular pattern from a long string.
e.g. I have a table called cs_Posts, it has a column called FormattedBody, this value can be something like:

I have a table called MessageBoard. It has a column called Messages. A user can type text including any html tags through a text area ans when he saves it by clicking a button, the content typed by the user is saved in the MessageBoard Table (in the Messages) column. So once saved, the html tags are kept intact. If I have to find and replace certain html tags, what kind of SQL Query I have to write? For example I want to find all the <pre> </pre> tags and replace it with <p> </p> tags. How do I do this?
I'm trying to pull up a report of restored databases from our bug tracking software to audit and see if any of them can be taken down, and having some trouble figuring out how to pull the list of databases out of the entire request text, since they usually come in via email. Some sample data is below with the paltry beginning of a solution that I came up with.
WITH bug (BugID, BugComment) AS ( SELECT 1, 'Hello DB_001000, DB_001000, DB_001000 Blick' UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Hi DB_001000 DB_001000 DB_001000 DB_001000 Flick' UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'Urgent DB_001000 DB_001000 Glick'
I'm not quite sure that this is possible but, I figured that I would check with you experts out there before trying a new approach. I've done quite a bit of research and have not seen anyone quite figure this out yet.
We have a SQL Server 2005 application that stores and indexes documents to the database as an image data type. I'm able to do full-text queries against the documents without any trouble. I begin to run into problems when trying to pattern match social security numbers and drivers licenses stored in a full-text index. I have a user defined function that I call which runs my regular expression that checks for hits of a ssn or license number in the index. I have no problem getting hits when the data sits in a column.
I do need to mention that I have no trouble when searching for a ssn with a fixed value and where I know the ssn (ex: 123-45-6789). I am actually trying to find the existence of the pattern of ###-##-#### (ex: ^d{3}-d{2}-d{4}$) anywhere in the index. Any help would be very much appreciated.
i want to apply a hatch pattern to the fill colour on my bar graph and it doesn't work. i select fill colour, then i select hatch colour, i preview and it doesn't show the hatch pattern.
i would use gradient only i use 2 colours the same (hence why i want to differ them in a way other then colour) and they show up the same in the legend - legends don't display gradients
Hello, we've developed an application that runs on AXIM X51, if it is an important to know.
The data layer handles the connection using the singleton pattern, a bit of code of this is:
(....) Private Shared ceConnection As SqlCeConnection (....)
Public Shared Function GetConnection() As SqlCeConnection Try If (ceConnection Is Nothing) Then ceConnection = New SqlCeConnection(Me.connectionString) End If
If (ceConnection.State = ConnectionState.Closed) Then ceConnection.Open() End If
Return ceConnection Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try End Function
(....)
So far nothing strange. We started experiencing problems when the end-users get an "Unspecified error" which later debugging it we got the href value inside the exception object is -2147467259 and nothing else. And if that wasn't enough I couldn't replicate the error in my pocket.
The only way I got the same error was removing the SD Card where the db is located at the same time the application was still open.
Does anybody experienced the same problem??? I researched about this kind of errors "when the device is just restored from the suspend mode" but with out luck.
Please, I really appreciate any help with this issue. Any comment will be more than welcome.
I like to schedule a task that provides with database usage size, current users online, memusage and CPU usage and store it into a database table once in a week. I tried looking at different system tables but not successful.
I have a table ("MyData") with string columns that have nvarchar data that looks like this:
ColA -------- 42/90 78/109
I plan to do a mathematical grouping on the numerator (eg: 0-10,11-20,21-30, etc... ), So I need to grab the numerator and turn it into an int. For reasons I can't get into, I have to do this in pure T-SQL.
So my question: How would I write a select statement that regex pattern matches "^([0-9]+)/" on ColA and returns integers instead of text?
E.g. THis Query:
SELECT [magic t-sql syntax] as Converted_ColA from MyData
Is it possible to do pattern matching against a string using FINDSTRING or similar in a derived column expression without recourse to including 3rd party regexp style plugins?
I want to seach for a reference in a string which will have the format ANNNNNAAA ie. an alpha with a certain value followed by 5 digits followed by three alphas with specific values.

I need to check if a file exists (using a filename pattern as the filename will be dynamic) in a directory.
I am trying to use the File.Exists() method in a Script Task. However, it does not allow me to do something like - File.Exists("C:Files*.xls") Or File.Exists("C:Filesabc*.xls")
In a bar chart, we are using the LargeCheckerBoard as the pattern style in series properties > fill. It is showing correctly on the browser but if we export to PDF, this style(checks) are getting small and different from what shown on the browser.
