I have a quick question about SQL Server 2000 supported datatypes!!
I have been trying to search on the "dreaded" Microsoft KB site to try and find information and details about the different supported data types on SQL Serv 2000, and to no avail!!!
Could anyone help me out and give me a rundown on the different data types that are supported on SQL Serv 2000, and maybe a quick explanation for each datatype, so I can make a better database?!??! I would really much appreciate any advice that anyone could offer...

Creating Datatypes In SQL SERVER 2005
Mar 14, 2008In oracle we create abstract datatypes using the command, for example,
CREATE TYPE address as object
(Street varchar2(50),
cuty varchar2(25));
Can this be done in SQL SERVER 2005? I am new to SQL SERVER 2005. Please help me out giving out the proper syntax alongwith an example.

SQL Server 2012 :: Parameter Datatypes Linked To Underlying Table Column Datatype
Jun 5, 2014In Oracle when i create any procedure i define parameter datatype linked to under lying table.
For ex
create procedure testprocedure
(param1 customer.name%type,
param2 customer.salary%type )
Here i have defined param1 and param2 with datatype of name and salary of customer table respectively.
This way i do not need to worry about modifying param1 and param2 datatypes when datatypes of name & salary of customer table changes in future.
How can i accomplish this in SQL server.
Quick SQL Server 7.0 Index Question
Jul 23, 2005At the moment I only know enough about SQL Server to create the databases Ineed as a backend for the various internal desktop/web applications I write.I haven't ever had the time to get seriously involved with internal workingsof SQL Server and we are far too small to employ a DBA.With any new application performance isn't a problem as the number ofrecords is very low. Over the life of the application the number of recordsobviously increases and performance can start to suffer. My normal cure isto use the Query Analyzer to suggest and implement indexes that normally getthings back up to speed.I was wondering whether SQL Server automatically keeps the created indexesup to date or do I need to be doing anything else either manually or as ascheduled job? The databases all have auto create statistics and auto updatestatistics enabled.Any pointers gratefully receivedThanksAlan
View 3 Replies View RelatedQuick SQL Server 2000 Locking Question
Nov 28, 2005We are running a 3rd party ETL tool to populate a denormailized version of a production database for reports. Everything works fine 95% of the time. However there is a semi-rare occurence of the ETL tool hanging up. The norm is for the tool to take about 5 times longer than usual, but it still works. Over the weekend however it through an error saying:
The SQL Server cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users or ask the system administrator to check the SQL Server lock and memory configuration.
The reports are run through Crystal using stored procs and are all basically select statements
So my question(s) are the following:
1. What kind of lock would a report put on a table (select statement)
2. Would it make sense to change stored procs to use WITH NOLOCK?
3. Or is something else going on?
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
SQL Server 2008 :: Quick GUI To Run Script On Database
Aug 19, 2015Any way to build a small GUI that a user can input the parameter, then click a submit button, which will in turn run a script on the database and pass the value to the query. I am sure there is a quick and easy way, but cannot think of one at the moment.
This is a quick script that I am running for a user too often, and don't really want to give them server access or ssms on their machine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedNeed A Quick Answer About Reporting Services In SQL Server 2005?
Jun 26, 2007Hi all,
I apologize in advance for the lack of homework before posting, but I am just looking for a quick answer, or a quick point in the right direction to figure this out.
I have a developer from an adjacent team that wants to use Reporting Services in a SQL Server 2005 installation.
From what I found online during what I thought was a definitive search yesterday, I gave him the MSDN SQL Server 2005 DVD and told him that Reporting Services is now part of the standard installation. Which is what my brief search yesterday indicated to me.
He did the installation (full, according to him) and said he could not find Reporting Services.
So, the quick question is...
Where is Reporting Services in SQL Server 2005? I don't have a separate MSDN DVD that contains it as was the case on SQL Server 2000. This further supports my (wavering) position that it is part of the standard installation.
Thoughts? Direction? Collective kicks in the posterior?
Thanks!
DataTypes
Sep 13, 2000I am designing my first SQL database and need some insight on datatypes.
What datatype is equivalent to autonumber like in MS Access.
When I convert an auto number field to to SQL it comes as int with a length of 4, Does this mean it will only auto increment to 9999?
I need the field to increment forever.
Also what datatypes should be used for phone number with area code and
zip code.
Thanks

Nov 20, 2000Hi i'm using the FileSystemObject to loop through a file and read out all the data within it (it's an html page, so loads of tags and free text) and then put it in a field in a table. I am using the nText datatype but i don't think i use Full-Text Searching with this, is there any other i can use that produces the same result?
Cheers in advance...

Apr 10, 2002Hello,
I'm 17 years old and I'm from Belgium, and I have to make a school project. I have to make a program in Visual Basic and my database is SQL Server 2000. I've already made my tables but I dont know excactly what all the datatypes in SQL Server are. They are a little bit different then Access datatypes and I dont know what to use, ntext, text, nvar, ... I can't find a list of the meaning of the datatypes on the net, maybe I'm searching with the wrong keywords(+"sql server" +datatypes in yahoo), but could please someone give me a link of a site where there is that kind of information?
thanks a lot :)

Datatypes
Aug 4, 2004I'm new to SQLServer and I'm creating some tables. In Oracle I always used varchar as this was the default and also recommended. The default in SQLServer seems to be char. Am I right in thinking that varchar is still best to use, as the field can then be of variable length rather than fixed?

SQL Datatypes
Apr 1, 2007I have a SQL 2005 database that's created by a survey data collectionsystem. Users of this system are fairly non-technical and have littleto no conscious control over the datatypes. As a result, the data ismostly stored quite inefficiently as varchars. For example, there isdata that could be stored in a column of bits and it's stored as avarchar value of 0 or 1. (Yuck, I know.)I am building a reporting system using this raw data and have a newtable structure designed that is much more efficient (and better forreporting). Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this datainto my new structure? Specifically, how would you recommend checkingthat varchar field and determining it could be stored as a bit?

Converting Datatypes
Jun 9, 2000Two datatype problems: (1) Datetime conversion (2) Foreign Currency format.
The first problem is that I am trying to convert source data from varchar to datetime. The source data is in CSV format and is displayed as follows - '1111999052349' to represent 1-Nov-1999 05:23:49. Have converted to a numeric value and then tried to convert to datetime but this just returns the following message 'Server: Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' However you can convert to a timestamp but the value returned is not meaningful (e.g. 0x0E0000013DFA4EE8).
Problem 2 concerns the French currency. The source data is in CSV format and is displayed as follows - '00000001,9700' to represent Fr1.97. Need to convert this to a numeric field or alternatively get SQL 7 to recognise it as a money field.
Any suggestions would be musch appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Exporting BIT Datatypes?
Jun 24, 2004Hi all. Im tryin to export (DTS) my some SQL server tables, many of which contain 'bit' datatypes. However, when DTS/SQL Serv. moves these bit datatypes out, it changes bit values to True/False values - which makes sense - however these are all going to plugin to web frontends where the SQL specifies condtions like: "if column1 = 0 then" etc..
Is there anyway to get SQL server to export bit datatypes as just numeric values of 0/1?
Converting Datatypes, Not Sure If This Is Right?
Sep 28, 2007New to developing. We are working on a project using asp.net and c# where data is pulled out of an sql database via multiple tables and displayed via a details view. The user can then update the information and submit it back to the database.
The problem we are encountering is:
Within the database there are multiple tables joined by a FK for example there is a Service Group ID column with the Records main table linked to the Service Group table which holds an ID column and a Service Group column so ID1 = Service Group A. Any records within the main table which has an ID of 1, is shows as Service Group A in the details view.
What we wold like to do is when a user updates the Service Group via a drop down, the ID goes into the main table rather than the Service Group name so if they select Service Group B, an ID of 2 goes into the Records main table. We aren't sure how to go about doing the conversion of Service Group B to an ID 2? We have been looking at converting datatypes but don't think it is right for what we are trying to do,
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
thanks

Problem With Datatypes...
Apr 27, 2007Dear Friends,
I have a problem with datatypes....
The error is "Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode..."
The column in source is nvarchar(32) and in the destination is varchar(32)... ok...
But in the DataReader Source in the SQLCommand I've converted the column into varchar(32) with
convert(varchar(32), Equities.Equities_Name) as CL_FOLDER_ID
Do you have any tip??Thanks!

Converting Datatypes:
Sep 25, 2006Hi All,
how do you convert from a date to an int ? as well as converting from Varchar to and Int
in SQL server 2000 ?
I am retrieving the GetDate() which i store in column as Varchar, i then want to use it within my select statement to calulate data which i want to return i.e
DECLARE @DateValue AS VARCHAR(20)
SELECT @DateValue = ApplicationSettingValue FROM ApplicationSettings WHERE ApplicationSettingKey = 'ProcessDate'
print convert(int,@DateValue) - 5
print GetDate() - 35
SELECT ccy_code, NULL, xrate_date, sterling_xrate
FROM SylvanTrans.dbo.SIADHP_XRate_Hist
WHERE xrate_date >= (CONVERT(int, @DateValue) - 35 )
ORDER BY xrate_date
now my as you can see in my WHERE CLAUSE i want to calculate what is returned using the GETDATE() stored in my @DateValue Variable, but the conversion throws a syntax error:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Syntax error converting the varchar value 'GetDate()' to a column of data type int.
what am idoing wrong? i know it is something simple, unless there is no conversion from varchar to int?, i also tried setting the datatype for my variable as datetime but i got the same sort of error with DATETIME replacing the VARCHAR in the error!!!
thanks
regards
