hi,
Is there an equivalent function in SQL server as to MYsql's
mysql_error() for easy findings of SQL errors? Couldn't find it in the
manual.... If no : What if the recommended action to take?
My SQL statement DIE's when I use it on my php page, but works fine in
the MS SQL query analyzer.

Good Morning,
Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.
I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.
Work so far:
I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

I'm using SQL 2005 Server Management Studio -
I go to the Northwind database - new query window and paste this code, I just found on this forum, to find the Identity column:SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus, C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale FROM syscolumns C JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id JOIN systypes U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype WHERE O.name = 'Fred' AND C.status = 128 ORDER BY C.colid SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus, C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale FROM syscolumns C JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id JOIN systypes U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype WHERE O.name = 'Products' AND C.status = 128 ORDER BY C.colid
However, I get an error message saying:Invalid object name 'sys.tables'.
What might I be missing here?
Hi All! Looking for some help with SQL errors.
We are using SQL 2005. Our server has been failing (service just stops responding) several times a week. We don't have a DB admin, just me, the developer, so please be patient.
I can view all the errors in the existing trace through the Profiler, but not sure how to follow error to query source.
How do you use the trace logs to find the problem query?
I have two significant errors in my logs. One is Hash Warning and the other is Missing Join Operand. I'm not interested in the general causes of these types of errors, that info has been easy to find.
I don't know how to link or otherwise associate a particular instance of an error in the trace logs to the query that caused it to determine the query that is causing the trouble.
The traces are already on the server. I've never created a new trace. I believe they are generated automatically by the server...
Can someone shed some light on how these existing traces are being generated and how I can modify them to include the data I need? When I open an existing trace on the server and view the properties, events tab, there appears to be no way to select the column "TextData" (no checkboxes) for the two errors we are seeing (listed above).
If the TextData column for the errors will allow me to see the offending query, can someone please tell me how to enable that column in my traces that are currently being generated on the server?
Thank you!

Hello. I'm a novice with SQL Server. I set up a SQL Server instance using Enterprise Manager and I want to find out what port that instance is listening to, because it's not listening to the default.
Is there a way I can specify a port for the server to listen to?

Hi everyone, I'm a complete novice in databases :|
I have SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my personal computer and need to connect to it through Java.
Therefore I need some information about it and don't know where to look. Some of them are:
=> the address of the server to connect to. This could be a DNS or IP address (I have installed the Server on my pc).
=> the instance to connect to (how can i find out where the instances are and which they are ?)
=> the port to connect to (i have no idea what this is at all)
=> the db is set to integrated security or do i have to give a username and password.
=> The name of the database to connect to (how can i find out which databases are available, if any)
note that there is no enterprise manager available. just a configuration manager, error and usage reporting, and surface area configuration.
many thanxs for reading my question.
Is there any way in which I can determine the licensing mode (per server/per seat and no. of licenses) for a particular server?
I have been working on this but no clues so far...
Thanks!

Hi, I have been searching through the posts hoping to find an answer to my problem. Most errors and problems seem to deal with Agent not being able to run packages because of permission issues.
My problem has to do with SQL Server Agent not finding the package to run. I have a proxy with a high enough level of permissions (SqlAgentOperatorRole).
The error message I get is:
Executed as user: ___/____. The package could not be found. The step failed.
The package is in a folder on our network. When I create the step I use the browser to go find and select the package. So why does it not find it at runtime? I can run it manually
My group is using 2005 for the first time. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone have a good query that would return records from two tables that are found in one, but not it the other table? In my situation I have 2 tables that are duplicate tables and I need to find an additional 3000 records that were added to one of the tables. I also have a composite key so the query would have col1, col2 and col3 as the composite key. So far I have tried concatenating the 3 columns and giving the result an alias and then trying to show the ones that were not in both tables, but have been struggling. Thanks..

I need to be able to identify breaks in a sequence so I can evaluate the data more correctly. In the sample I have given I need to be able to identify the break in sequence at 69397576, ideally I would set that as a D. My query also needs to recognize that the 3 sequences following 69397576 are sequential and would belong to that set. so the out come would look like this.

create table test1 (id INT

The following is sample data I am dealing with.
SELECT * INTO TEMP

I need to extract the date that the value in CODE column changes to another code for each value of CATEGORY and if there is no change, to record the original CODE value and its startdate for each CATEGORY.
I'm trying to come up with a query for this data:
CREATE TABLE #Visits (OpportunityID int, ActivityID int, FirstVisit date, ScheduledEnd datetime, isFirstVisit bit, isRepeatVisit bit)
INSERT #Visits (OpportunityID, ActivityID, FirstVisit, ScheduledEnd)
SELECT 1, 1001, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 12:00:00.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 1002, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 17:04:13.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1003, '2014-08-18', '2014-08-18 20:39:56.000' UNION ALL

Here are the expected results:
OpportunityIDActivityIDFirstVisitScheduledEndisFirstVisitisRepeatVisit

Basically I'd like to mark the first Activity for each OpportunityID as a First Visit if its ScheduledEnd falls on the same day as the FirstVisit, and otherwise mark it as a Repeat Visit.
I have this so far, but it doesn't pick up on that the ScheduledEnd needs to be on the same day as the FirstVisit date to count as a first visit:
SELECT*,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS isFirstVisit,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 0

I remember in SQL Server 2000 you could find the information by choosing Properties of a connection in EM and click on the Network Configuration button. (I know it works when you are ON THE SERVER! But when I tried from my desktop, pressing the button didn't do anything)

Hello!! guys..
I am using sql server 2005 enterprise edition in the clustered environment with netapp storage (one server) I monitor the server performance, basically using windows performance monitor counters such as avg.disk queue length,avg. disk reads/sec, avg disk writes/sec, processor time, available memory Mbytes, cache hit ratio etc. and using some sql server dmvs .
At this point all looks good.
My problem i dont know how much load sql server can handle more .How much it being utilized now? whehet it has reached its limits...how do i know it is just about to reach its linits??
how much throughput sql server is handling at present, how much more it can handle if incoming traffic increases.
Basically i want to find performance baselines , how much more it can handle so that i can plan for the future ..
How do i measure all this?
what are different methods available if i want to handle increased incoming traffic? (e.g. adding multiple servers etc.)
It will be really great if someone can share his experience on this..
Is there any article/white paper on this ..
Any suggestion/help appreciated
Thanks
Hi,
Can you help me how to find out sessions in SQL Server 2000.

Hello team, I have learned quite a bit from everyone here. I have decided to post a question for you guys and see what the best method is. Our Sr. DBA has asked me to get a list of all of our users permissions on all of our databases. We have about 20 SQL servers some of which have more databases and instances than I have fingers and toes. Can anyone recommend any solution to this problem? Perhaps there is a script I can download/write which will help me on this? Thanks in advance.
How do you find stale stored procedures ?
In a scenario where a developer created a slight modification of a stored procedure because he was afraid of breaking something else and took the easy way out, and a few more later down the line, multiple versions of a stored proc. doing slightly different things are just laying around.
"Last used" would be useful piece of information to determine the most recent date a stored procedure was called, either by the application itself or by another stored procedure itself called by the application.
Any stored proc not used for more than say 6 months would then be identified as a candidate for clean-up.
So - short or creating - after the fact - a trigger to update the usage date upon each call - which means a lot of work and no result for the next six months, how can one go about this ?
And could this be done in SS2K8 ?

I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.
