I have a series of DTS packages.
Each package has 20 queries.
Each query has a server name.
Is there a way to change the servername without editing each query in each DTS package.
I'd like to copy the template DTS package, then perform the modification.
Thanks
I have a Hits table that tracks the hits on the id of a Link table:
Hits:
int linkId (foreign Key to Link)
datetime dateCreated
varchar(50) ip
We recently had to merge Links from different systems that are implemented similarly. As a result, all the linkIds are now wrong in the Hits table because the ids all changed. I managed to track down all the old ids and their associated new ids and have it in a table that I call joined_links
joined_linksint oldId
int newId
So, how do I do a mass update of these linkIds in the Hits table in SQL? I know I could do it in .NET, but I'd rather not write an app to do that runs thousands of update statements. There's gotta be a way to do it something like this:
UPDATE Hits h SET h.linkId = (SELECT newId FROM joined_links WHERE oldId=h.linkId)
but obviously I don't have visibility of that linkId in the subselect... A Loop maybe?
This is a run of the mill application that moves orders from one table to another. There are 2 tables, Ordersummary & HstOrders.
Ordersummary has the following columns...
Identifier
FollowupId
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderReferenceOrigin
......
......
HstOrders has the following columns...
Identifier
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderType
......
......
The above two tables are bound by Identifier. After each month end, Orders are moved from Ordersummary to HstOrders.
Now my task is to update all rows in OrderSummary with the order details as seen in HSTOrders for ordertype = 'CREDIT'. OrderReferenceOrigin(in Ordersummary) should be updated with the value of Orderreference(from hstorders).
I have to update each row at a time & I need to write a cursor for mass updates where ordersummary.identifier = hstorders.identifier.
Can someone please help with in writing this update statement as I never wrote a cursor.
Hi friends,
Any idea about mass mailing system using SQL Server .Pls get back to me.
thanx and regards

I'm fairly new to SQL Server and I'm just wondering if it's possible to Update Statistice for all indexes somehow? I'm looking at the Update Statistics command and it doesn't seem to be possible.
The situation we have is a reporting DB that basically has all it's tables truncated and remade every night by some DTS jobs that import from another datasource and change the data and build some denormalzed tables etc.
Some of the large Insert operations go from taking 8 mins to taking several hours sometimes and updating the stats seems to fix the problem for a while. So I'd like to make sure the optimizer has all the latest stats for all tables.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Hi,
I have an user table with a single integer column. No indexes, no identities, nothing. I have to insert 600,000 rows via a client app. In tests, using BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS all runs OK (sub 3 seconds). However the app takes 5000 rows a second [considerably slower]. I can mimic this slow perfomance, within DTS, by removing the 'Fast Load' & 'Batch' options.
Question= why would the SQL insert run slower on one server and as fast as BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS on another? What can I check on the 'slow' running server? May there be a file version anomally ??
Version = SQL-2000 SP4
Any help much appreciated !!!
Does anyone know what the best way to do mass updates in SQL server is? I am currently using the methodology suggested in this article
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3141
But the article is assuming that once I update a field it is going to have a value that is NOT NULL. So I can loop through and update the rows that have a NOT NULL value. But my updated rows do contain NULL values, in this case what is the best way to go about this???
***************************************
Here is my code. I want to avoid using Upd_flag becos
after the following code runs I need to reset that flag
before I run my next query
***************************************
--Set rowcount to 50000 to limit number of inserts per batch
Set rowcount 50000
--Declare variable for row count
Declare @rc int
Set @rc=50000
While @rc=50000
Begin
Begin Transaction
--Use tablockx and holdlock to obtain and hold
--an immediate exclusive table lock. This usually
--speeds the insert because only one lock is needed.
update t_PGBA_DTL With (tablockx, holdlock)
SET t_PGBA_DTL.procedur = A.[Proc code],
t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 1
FROM t_PGBA_DTL
INNER JOIN CPT_HCPCS_I9_PROC_CODES A
ON t_PGBA_DTL.PROC_CD
= A.[Proc code]
WHERE t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 0
--Get number of rows updated
--Process will continue until less than 50000
Select @rc=@@rowcount
--Commit the transaction
Commit
End
I have the following problem. I need to insert 100.000 records (50Kb each) in one operation from a VB program into a SQL Server 2005 database. All of these records will be ready for inserting at the same time.

The company i work for changed names and all email addresses within the company have changed. While it was OK for a while they are no longer going to be forwarding email to the old addresses to the new ones. There are Tons of subscriptions and tons of email addresses that need to be changed to the new names.
If i could find the table with the TO: part of the subscription held in it i could just run an update on that field and it would be solved...however, i cannot find that field...
So,
Without going into every subscription in report manager, how can i change the email addresses? Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Hi There
Most of the time my solutions consist of 1 or 2 packages and config files work well.
Now i have a solution with about 50 packages i have to move to QA.
However a config file has the package ID, so even thoug they use the same data source connection. I would have to create and change 50 config files.
Data sources are kept in the package xml , so if i copy all the packages to QA , and then change the Global Data Source connection, i still have to open each package maually and save it again.
Surely there must be an easy way to move all 50 packages and have the connection now point to QA. But config files and global data sources dont do the trick, what am i missing here ?
Thanx

I was wondering if anyone knows of any way, including third party tools, to replicate a design change on a table across many different databases. I have written an ASP script that allows me to copy multiple tables to multiple databases in one go but I need something that will allow me to replicate the design of a table by comparing source and destination tables. So far I have scripted most of it but I have no idea on which system table to get the identity information and it seems there must be an easier way!
Any help would be appreciated,

Hi,
I've been having problems with my tempdb filling up, and causing all databases on the server to stop functioning properly. I've been removing alot of data lately (millions of rows), and I think this is the reason why my tempdb log is going thru an unusual load.
Whats the best way to make sure the tempdb doesnt fill up causing me major problems? I had temporarily turned off backups while I was having a new HD put in. Am I right in thinking that when a DB is backed up, the tempdb log is reduced in size? Should maintaining a daily backup solution help keep things under control ?
Thanks very much for any tips!

I've deleted about 3-4 million rows from one of my tables as the data was old and no longer needed. The problem is that now queries are runnning extra slow.

I have converted Access database to sql express. Access Database had AutoNumber FIelds for which trigger was generated by Upsizing wizard.
Now when I import data from client the autonumber field value changes because trigger is fired which distroys all links
I want to modify trigger so that it generates new number only when it is not supplied in a insert command.
Please help. Code is given below. Also suggest how to save because when I use save, it asks for a new .sql file name and a new file is generated instead of modifying the same trigger
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[T_AcControlLimit_ITrig] ON [dbo].[AcControlLimit] FOR INSERT AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @randc int, @newc int /* FOR AUTONUMBER-EMULATION CODE */
/* * RANDOM AUTONUMBER EMULATION CODE FOR FIELD 'IntAcControlCode' */
SELECT @randc = (SELECT convert(int, rand() * power(2, 30)))
SELECT @newc = (SELECT IntAcControlCode FROM inserted)
UPDATE AcControlLimit SET IntAcControlCode = @randc WHERE IntAcControlCode = @newc

Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.

My problem is related to database and data.
I building a project in ASP.NET 2.0 with the help of VWD in which i have certain records and each record has
a unique id with it.Now my problem is that when a user wants to edit a certain record i want the user to enter
a record id for that record. Now if the record id matches any record in the database then that record should be
dislayed in another page with and edit option with it.
I have listed a view below and a portion of the result set that is returned when I run the code in Query Analyzer. This is part of a timesheet application that logs hours per SCHLSTUID per SECTIONID per week. This returns the SCHLSTUID(user's ID), SECTIONID, Date that the week starts, the first date that time was logged. The user could be in several SECTIONID's for the same week. I need to modify this so that it returns the date that the first time was logged for any of the SECTIONID's per week. I know that this is probably something simple that I'm overlooking but I just can't get it to work correctly.Example: SCHLSTUID SECTIONID ATTSTARTDT FirstTimeEnteredDOn601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-19 20:59:21.120601868445 MAA1R001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120This would need to return 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427This would need to return either 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-13 20:59:37.823This would need to return 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE VIEW dbo.vExportStartWeekASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, MIN(TimesheetDate) AS FirstTimeEnteredOnFROM (SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, ATTSTARTDT AS TimesheetDate, sunmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, ATTSTARTDT AS TimesheetDate, sunhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 1, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, monmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 1, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, monhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 2, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, tuemns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 2, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, tuehrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 3, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, wedmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 3, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, wedhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 4, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Thrmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 4, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Thrhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 5, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Frimns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 5, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Frihrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 6, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Satmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 6, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Sathrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance) TimesheetDatesWHERE (TimeEntered <> 0)GROUP BY schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDTORDER BY schlstuid----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a portion of what is returned:SCHLSTUID SECTIONID ATTSTARTDT FirstTimeEnteredDOn601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-19 20:59:21.120601868445 MAA1R001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-25 20:59:36.670 2005-09-25 20:59:36.670601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-13 20:59:37.823----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for any help that you can give me.Scott
