Hi,
When one executes a query in v7.0, the results in the result window are hard to look at one as one has to scroll sideways to see the entire rpt. Is there a better way (hgighlight) to view it so I can see the whole report without scrolling sideways?
Thanks

When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
result in Excel 2003 SQL OLE DB query
col-A col-B col-C
values...
Result with Query Analyzer and VBA Macro
col-c col-B col-A
values...
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS
showID
showTitle
SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID
VIDEOS
videoDate
showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
thanks
When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says.

What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query. Does anyone know how to do this?

THis is so annoying. I have 3 ADO executes in my program. THe first one creates a view, the second one performs an outer join on that view and returns a result set, the third execute drops the aforementioned view. THe program that is using this is installed on about 200 computers scattered across Germany and Italy, all querying the same MSsql server 7.0. THe queries run quite quick when few users are actively using the program (after hours for example). however in the heat of the day performance goes up and down dramatically with identical queries taking from 1 to 20 seconds to return their result set. Now I initially thought 'bandwidth issue out of our server'. However I noticed that if I take those three queries and run them from the sql server enterprise manager( running on the same computer as the aforementioned program) then the queries run instantly and the data is in my result pane in less than 2 seconds ALWAYS....even when the program is dogging it with 20 second delays before the result set returns. I know it is hanging on the return of the result set as I put a stop after before each ADO execute in order to check which one was eating up my time. Why is there this dichotomy between running the queries from my enterprise manager versus running them from an ADO object. Both are using TCP/IP (no named pipes involved). I havent monkied with the attributes of the ADO result set so they are all set to default.
I have used the sql server profiler to trace these queries and they always run in less than 33 milliseconds. THe duration is also never more than 33 milliseconds. THis stinks of a network resource issue but what always leads me somewhere else is how consistent the performance of the enterprise manager is when it runs the exact same three queries.
Here is my slightly edited connection string
Public Const connection_string = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=000.000.000.000;" & _
"User ID=johndoe;Password=janedoe;Network=dbmssocn;" & _
"database=fidojoe"
Here are the 3 ADO executes:
conn.Execute (sqlstr_create_view)
Set resultset1 = conn.Execute(sqlstr_get_providers_by_DMISID)
conn.Execute (sqlstr_drop_view)
I realise this'll probably seem like a very silly question, but is there any way of changing the font and font size in a query window in MS SQL Server Management Studio Express?
It would just make life a lot easier if I could see more of the text!
Hi ,
I have got an SQL query which gives me some report against some data fed in .How can I set this query to run from a browser window .Meaning there will be some form where we input the data ( say date ) and run that query from the browser windows against that data .and the results are displayed in the browser window .
Thanks for your help
I am trying to determine which of three stored procedure designs arefastest in the Query Analyzer:One query is a straight SELECT query with all desired rows and a dozen(tblName.RowName = @param or @param = Null) filters in the WHEREstatement.One query populates a #Temp table with the UniqueIDs from the resultsof the SELECT query in the above example, then joins that #Temp tableto get the desired rows.One query users EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @paramin which the @param has the dozen filters.What I'm trying to determine is which is the fastest.Each time I run the query in Query Analyzer it returns the samerecordset (duh!) but with much different Time Statistics.Are the Time Statisticts THE HOLY QRAIL as far as determining which isfastest, and what so I want to look at, the Vale or the Average? Inotice there are different numbers of bytse sen and bytes received foreach of the three queries.Any illumination on this is appreciated.lq

Is Query Analyzer being droped in MS-SQL 2005? I'm using Microsoft SQL
Server Managemant Studio and I couldn't find the Store Procedure node
and Query Analyzer anymore. Help is appreciated.
Say you have a state column with the name of a state in it. And you need to add a branchId to the table. I know I should not have it in there, and the application should use proper lookup tables, but that's not the case.
Can SQL Server query analyzer loop through and update the branchid field based on a lookup in a lookup table?
How would that be done?
Hi All,
I think I post this in a wrong section but I cant find forum for sql server and i just have a quick question

Does anyone know if there is a limitation in Query Analyzer in terms of the number of characters in a query that it will parse?
I am having a problem with some large queries, and I am not sure if it is Query Analyzer, or the SQL Server query parsing engine that is causing the problem.
The query just involves a simple SELECT statement, albeit for a large number of columns.
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I connect to one database in Query Analyzer and I can use the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option. when I connect to one of our other databases, the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option is disabled (greyed out). Does anyone know what the problem could be and how might I be able to enable this option.
Thanks in advance,

Hello
In query Analyzer of SQL2000 when i select
2 Select Queries and Run it shows in same Window as 2 Grids
I have seen people using seperate grid option to view each query results in a Tab query results Pane in MSSQL 7.
Eg Select * from table1 (in one grid)
select * from table2 (in another grid)
like a TAB so that i can move from one tab to another.
Is it possible to do that in query Analyzer?
Regards
I would like to use the Query Analyzer to create a script that will prompt the user(dialog box) for a response in SQL Server 7.0. I found a post someone mentioned DBMS can return messages and using Query Analyzer.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I'm trying to do a couple of things with some different tables.
With the first table, I have first name and last name in two separate columns.
I'm trying to create a new ID column that would do the following.
Take the first 3 letters of the last name (and remove any non characters such as ',&) and the first 3 letters of the first name, and then combine them.
I know how to use substring to take the first three, and I know how to combine them, but I'm having problems removing the non alpha characters.
For example, if the columns looked as follows:
First Last
John O'Connor
I'd want the result to look like OCOJOH, however, I'm getting O'CJOH.
The second issue is how would I do something similar if the First and Last Name were in the same column and string.
For example, if the column looks as follows:
Name
John O'Connor Publishing
I'd like to pull the first 3 from the first string before the space and then the next 3 so it would be as follows:
JOHOCO
Finally, I want to compare these new IDs, and add numbers to them.
So if I had the following
First Last
John O'Connor
Johnny O'Connell
The first would be OCOJOH01
The second would be OCOJOH02
If there are not any duplicates with the new ID, I'd like to call it OCOJOH01 and then move on.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi everybody!
this is my first post, so I'd like to say hallo to everyone!
I "work" on SQL Server 2000, and I would like to ask you a question.
Is it correct that i cannot set a database user as database owner (using command sp_changedbowner 'user_name')?
QA returns this error message:
"Server: Msg 15110, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changedbowner, Line 46
The proposed new database owner is already a user in the database."
so I have to use sp_revokedbaccess and then I can change the db owner.
why can't a db user be the db owner?
thanks for the answers!!

Hello,
how is the query analyzer opening a database??? Does someone knows the command it uses to open the connection ??
I ask this because i have corrupted datafiles stored on a flash card which i can not open with connection.open but the analyzer opens them normally. After that i can open the datafiles using normal code
Does it use any special params?? I get the corrupted files on power down and after that i can not open them from my application. I can only do this after i open them once with the query analyzer
The database is about 20 MB stored on a flash card
Thanks in advance
Does anyone know why a backup database statement aborts a job in a stored procedure so that you can't handle the error with @@error, but when you run the same stored procedure in a query window the error handling does get run?
The snippet of code looks like this:
SET XACT_ABORT OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
set ansi_warnings off
set arithabort on
declare @backup_status int
declare @cmd varchar(1024)
SET NOCOUNT ON
print 'Options value: ' + convert(varchar, @@options)
set @backup_status = 0
if (@backup_mode = 'F')
begin
BACKUP DATABASE
@DB TO DISK = @BackupFile
with
NAME = @Name,
DESCRIPTION = @Description,
MEDIANAME = @MediaName,
MEDIADESCRIPTION = @Description,
STATS = 10,
init, nounload, noskip
if @@error != 0
begin
set @backup_status = 1
print '**************** Backup of ' + @DB + ' Failed'
end end
When this is run in a query window, the print statement at the bottom does get executed, but when run as a step in a sql agent job it does not.
Thanks.
Executing the stored procedure took 45 seconds. But copying the code to a query window and setting up the variables (instead of parameters), it took 7 seconds.
In the query window, most of the processing cost (86%) is right up front in a "Distinct Sort." But in exec stored procedure, the cost for this step is 11% and the significant costs are in later "Table Scans."
I don't know why SQL Server would choose different execution plans when the code is identical in each.
Any quick insights?
Many thanks.
hi,
i have worked three days on a query to display all my results in a beautiful report. The query is fine because when i execute it in Query Analyzer i have all results i want to see in my statistics-table in my report...
One thing: it's contains about 100 unioned statements, which results in a super-long query. Performance is OK because it are all 100 very easy statements that are union-ed together.
But, when I copy-paste it in my query-string window/textbox of the report designer, I see that there's a maximum on that textbox lenght, which results in the fact that my long query suddenly stops.
Any solutions????
Bit of a strange one here. We have a SQL Express instance running with one database which is accessed by a VB6 client application.
Performance between the application and the database isn't great, but bizarrely if you open a Query window from the Management Studio (against the database) the performance dramatically improves - to the extent that it is visually noticeable from within the application.
So, I'm thinking that the database connections being made by the application are taking longer because of instance name resolution or the like and with the Query window open this resolution is performed quicker.
Has anyone come across this situation? I can re-create it on several different computers each with their own Express instance and I've not found anything about this on the net.
Here's the connection string used by the application - I have tried various permutations of values to no avail:
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=SampleDB;Data Source=(local)sqlexpress;Trusted_Connection=yes
Thanks very much

Thats right it does nothing but return 5 and thats because I removed all the real code to simplify my question.
