What Is INACTIVE Delete?
Oct 10, 2005Here are two tables. How do i create an SP for INACTIVE delete and how do i use the UNIQUE constraint to avoid duplication of the NAME columns(logingroup_name and login_name) in these tables?
--Creating Table ref_LoginGroup:-
create table ref_LoginGroup
(
logingroupid tinyint identity(1,1) constraint pklogingroupid primary key clustered,
logingroup_name varchar(25) constraint chkname check(logingroup_name NOT LIKE '% %'),
changed_login_id int,
is_active bit,
lastupdr smalldatetime,
)
--Creating Unique nonclustered Index for ref_LoginGroup:-
create unique nonclustered index idxlgn on ref_LoginGroup(logingroup_name)
--Creating Table ref_Login:-
create table ref_Login
(
login_id int identity(1,1) constraint pkloginid primary key clustered,

Why I Can't Remove The Inactive Log?
May 16, 2007My db is working in simple recovery mode, when I run "dbcc sqlperf(logspace)", I find the log file is very large and the log usage percentage is 98%. In most case, when I run "backup log db_name with no_log", the log usage percentage will be reduced. but in fact it is no change. I make sure there are no active logs in it. Who can tell me the reason ? thx.
View 1 Replies View RelatedReplication - Subscription Inactive, Why ?
Jul 23, 2003I have a snapshot & a transcation publication on Server A, and a pull subscription for each on Server B.
The distribution agent on ServerA has the error:
"The subscription(s) have been marked inactive and must be reinitialized. NoSync subscriptions will need to be dropped and recreated."
Any idea what caused this ..... Everything was fine for a week or so.
Does anyone know of any good books or publications on Replication ? I've got some DBA books that cover the basics, but I'd like something that helps explain the oddball situations.

Lock On Inactive Thread Won't Go Away
Feb 29, 2008Hello,
I am having a problem with the SQL Server 2005 database of our ERP system. We have a scheduled batch that gets stuck because of a lock on a table. The lock remains overnight and halts all other processes (it seems most of them are waiting for this lock to get solved)
I know which table the lock is on and if I kill the lock manually, the batch continues and finishes without a problem
my question is: can I change this behaviour somewhere?
The piece of code that causes this lock is protected, but in a debug log I was able to see that it happens during following actions:
first a select is performed to fetch a certain record in the file that gets locked
next an update is performed with following syntax:
update ... set.... where current of 'pointername'
this update is waiting for a lock to be released before the batch continues.
My guess is that somehow the pointer that is set with the select statements, locks the row and that's why the update cannot be performed.
The strange part is that this lock does NOT occur everytime that this table needs to be updated. And that's why I am stuck and asking help of the real database people :)
If someone can give me a hint on a setup,property, or just a pointer to where I can find more info on the 'why'-part of the lock, I would be very grateful

Check For Inactive Database
Sep 21, 2007Hi
I am working at a site that has no dedicated DBA, and our Sql Server 2000 environment has recently been playing up. There are several databases on the Production server that should be inactive (for applications no longer used).
What is the best way for me to see if there has been any recent activity on these databases (short of taking them offline and waiting for screams). Please keep in mind that I am a Sql Server novice.

Report Builder: How To Access Last Inactive Date
Apr 7, 2008A Contractor has a list of Contracting Companies that he has worked for in his history.
For each row in the "Contracting Company" table, there is an Active Date and an Inactive Date. Each Contracting Company cannot have overlapping dates.
The last row in the table for that Contractor may have a null Inactive Date. That just means that he doesn't know when his contract will end.
In Report Builder, I can access the "Last Active Date", because there is a pre-built formula for "Last Active Date". However, whenever I access the prebuilt formula "Last Inactive Date" - I get the inactive date for the second-last row, because the last row has a null value for the Inactive Date! I want to get the Inactive Date for the last row - not the second last row!
How to do this easily? Thanks!

View 9 Replies View RelatedReport Toolbar Inactive - Suspect RsClientPrint ActiveX Problem
Mar 15, 2007Hi,
I€™m hoping someone might be able to help me.
I have a Development Machine running Windows XP Professional SP2, with SQL Server 2005 including Reporting Services. I am developing an ASP.NET application using VS 2005, and am including Server Side Reports from SQL Server. Everything is working well, except when viewing the Reports.
The Reports when viewed from Reporting Services€™ Report Manager or from within the ASP.NET application only display the first page of the report, displaying the total number of pages as 0. As well, most of the functions on the report toolbar appear to be disabled. This occurs for any report viewed, even sample reports such as the Adventure Works Samples.
The problem only occurs when viewed from within Internet Explorer on the Development Machine. To overcome the problem, I have upgraded SQLServer to SP2, and removed and reinstalled Internet Explorer, but it made no difference. It appears to be related to the rsClientPrint ActiveX addon which should have been installed when the print icon was first selected. It appears not to have installed properly, but up to that point everything worked OK. Selecting the Print icon (or any other icon) since nothing happens. I€™m guessing here, but I suspect that the rsClientPrint addon needs to be reinstalled, but I don€™t know how to go about it. It is not listed within IE addon (where it is on other machines connecting to the Development Machine), nor is it listed within the €œC:WindowsDownloaded Program Files€?. But it is not being downloaded when the Print Icon is selected. I have checked all the Security settings for the environment to ensure that ActiveX programs are downloaded, and everything appears to be in order.
Would anyone be familiar with this problem or have any suggestions on how to go about resolving it? Any help would be appreciated as it is causing significant problems. Strange though, the reports appear fine when viewed from within the Server Manager.

May 16, 2007Greetings,
We periodically get the following message in our three server peer-to-peer transactional replication environment:
"One or more subscriptions have been marked inactive. Drop and re-create all subscriptions for this node that are failing with this error."
What causes a subscription to be marked inactive? What properties or settings can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate this occurrence?
Everthing seems to be running OK and then we get the message. It afflicts the higest change volume publication on our slowest overseas server.

Track The Changes To Normalised Tables And Update The Denormalised Tables Depending On The Changes To Normalised Tables
Dec 7, 2006We have 20 -30 normalized tables in our dartabase . Also we have 4tables where we store the calculated data fron those normalised tables.The Reason we have these 4 denormalised tables is when we try to dothe calcultion on the fly, our site becomes very slow. So We haveprecalculated and stored it in 4 tables.The Process we use to do the precalcultion, will get do thecalculation and and store it in a temp table. It will compare the thetemp with denormalised tables and insert new rows , delte the old oneans update if any changes.This process take about 20 mins - 60mins. Ittakes long time because in this process we first do the calculationregardless of changes and then do a compare to see what are changed andremove if any rows are deleted, and insert new rowsand update thechanges.Now we like to capture the rows/columns changed in the normalisedtables and do only those chages to the denormalised table , which weare hoping will reduce the processing time by atleast 50%WE have upgraded to SQL SERVER 2005.So We like to use the newtechnology for this process.I have to design the a model to capture the changes and updated onlythose changes.I have the list of normalised tables and te columns which will affectthe end results.I thought of using Triggers or OUTPUT clause to capture the changes.Please help me with the any ideas how to design the new process

Can I Export Tables So That Existing Tables In Destination Database Will Be Modified?
Jul 20, 2005I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

Oct 17, 2006I have a trade data tables (about 10) and I need to retrieve information based on input parameters. Each table has about 3-4 million rows.
The table has columns like Commodity, Unit, Quantity, Value, Month, Country
A typical query I use to select data is "Select top 10 commodity , sum(value), sum(quantity) , column4, column5, column6 from table where month=xx and country=xxxx"
The column4 = (column2)/(total sum of value) and column 5=(column3)/(total sum of quantity). Column6=column5/column4.
It takes about 3-4 minutes for the query to complete and its a lot of time specially since I need to pull this information from a webpage.
I wanted to know if there is an alternate way to pull the data from server ?
I mean can I write a script that creates tables for all the input combinations i.e month x country (12x228) and save them in table (subtable-table) with a naming convention so from the web I can just pull the table with input parameters mapped to name convention and not running any runtime queries on database ??
OR
Can I write a script that creates a html files for each table for all input combinations save them ?
OR
Is there exists any other solution ?

Insert Records From Foxpro Tables To SQL Server Tables
Apr 22, 2004Hi,
Currently, I'm using the following steps to migrate millions of records from Foxpro tables to SQL Server tables:
1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables in a dummy database. All the SQL tables have the same columns as the Foxpro tables.
2. Manipulate the data in the SQL tables of the dummy database and save the manipulated data into the SQL tables of the real database where the tables may have different structure from the corresponding Foxpro tables.
I only know the following ways to import Foxpro data into SQL Server:
#1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables
#2. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then Bulk Insert to SQL Server tables
#3. DTS Foxpro records directly to SQL Server tables
I'm thinking whether the following choices will be better than the current way:
1st choice: Change step 1 to use #2 instead of #1
2nd choice: Change step 1 to use #3 instead of #1
3rd choice: Use #3 plus manipulating in DTS to replace step 1 and step 2
Thank you for any suggestion.

Multiple users may use this at the same time and I wanted to have a full separation between the application and the DB. The ASP.net application always uses Stored Procedures to access the DB.

Dynamic Tables Names And Temporary Tables Options
Oct 5, 2007Firstly I consider myself quite an experienced SQL Server user, andamnow using SQL Server 2005 Express for the main backend of mysoftware.My problem is thus: The boss needs to run reports; I have designedthese reports as SQL procedures, to be executed through an ASPapplication. Basic, and even medium sized (10,000+ records) reportingrun at an acceptable speed, but for anything larger, IIS timeouts andquery timeouts often cause problems.I subsequently came up with the idea that I could reduce processingtimes by up to two-thirds by writing information from eachcalculationstage to a number of tables as the reporting procedure runs..ie. stage 1, write to table xxx1,stage 2 reads table xxx1 and writes to table xxx2,stage 3 reads table xxx2 and writes to table xxx3,etc, etc, etcprocedure read final table, and outputs information.This works wonderfully, EXCEPT that two people can't run the samereport at the same time, because as one procedure creates and writesto table xxx2, the other procedure tries to drop the table, or read atable that has already been dropped....Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around thisproblem?I have thought about generating the table names dynamically using'sp_execute', but the statement I need to run is far too long(apparently there is a maximum length you can pass to it), and evenbreaking it down into sub-procedures is soooooooooooooooo timeconsuming and inefficient having to format statements as strings(replacing quotes and so on)How can I use multiple tables, or indeed process HUGE procedures,withdynamic table names, or temporary tables?All answers/suggestions/questions gratefully received.Thanks
