Hi everyone,
My first table has a column named "customer" that is directed to "customers" table "id" column as foreign key.
I wanted to change "id" name so i wanted to delete it and create another column of another name but i cannot delete that column because it is attached as fk to another table.
How can i remove th fk constraint ?
Thanks.
About a month ago I restored a data base that had been originally created in MSDE into a full version of SQL Server 2000. I thought that the size restriction would automatically be removed by putting it into the full version of SQL. I was wrong and about a week or so later the data base reached the 2GB size and needed attention. I received some assistance through Microsoft and they walked my client through the process of removing the size restriction. Since then everything has been OK.
Now I am doing something similar. My client has a data base that was originally created in MSDE. We upgraded them to SQL Express and the data base has now grown to 4GB which is the max that SQL Express allows.
We will be installing SQL for Workgroups this week.
My question is this. Is there a setting I must change inside the data base or in SQL for Workgroups that will allow the data base to grow beyond 4GB? We need to let it expand to whatever they need and I cant seem to find any documentation on whether or not I have to change a setting for this data base.
Thanks for your help. Jean
Hi everyone,
I've been using VS.NET to design and implement my SQL databases. This has been simple and effective.
I've deployed the database onto the production database server and it's been performing without a hitch for some time now.
My problem is that I now need to remove a foreign key relationship on the production database as I have had a relationship between two tables but now not wanting the relationship since the data that had the relationship is now not wanting to be compulsory. I've had a look in the system.foreignkey (I think) table but I can't make head or tail of it.
Long story short, how can I find and remove the relationship from Query Analyser / Enterprise Manager ? I know how to do this in VS.NET diagram (just delete the relationship) but when you open the production database in VS.NET the diagram is no longer there.
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks!

In SQL 2005 is there a way where you can restrict certain columns on a table from being view from a user(s) or group, without creating a view?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
First of all I would like to show my satisfaction at this great forum.
I'm quite a beginner at SQL and would like to ask a question.
Let's say I have a table of Students and a table of Subjects with their respective details. Now I want to create another table that references both the previous tables so that I would know what subjects the Student is attending. My problem is how to put a restriction in the new table on the number of subjects that each student can have (e.g. each student can only apply for 8 subjects, not more).
I've heard about triggers and other possible solutions, but it's too advanced for me at the moment, so I'd like to possible find a solution through the new table.
Roughly, I guess the new table (let's call it StudentAttends) will have the student id from the Students table and the subject id from the Subjects table. Now how should I add the above restriction?
Thanks for your help!
Hi, Ive been told this, but I hope it is NOT true. I have an sqlserver2000 installation running on a server that has four processors.It is on a active network but is not the domain controller soessentially it is fully dedicated to servicing the needs of sqlserver, (a bit of browsing, a bit of ms Office, but almost whollydedicated to sqlserver. Now, the big question, why, when the serverproperties have been set to utilize all four processors, can any onejob never get more than 25% of cpu time? I can launch multipleinstance of QA and run the same job on each one and that will utilisemore and more cpu time, but if you launch multile QA windows fromwithin one insance of QA, you can NEVER get more than 25% CPUutilisation. Now i have to run a job (FTS is a good example,re-indexing lots of db's another, or even a huge query with multipleufd's on computed cols which I hoped would grab lots of CPU time thatthey need, but no. So do I have to live with this or can I tell eitherwindows or sql server to grab more cpu when it want to ie use my spareCPU capacity more efficiently or am i working on a misguided premiseand 25% per job is your lot?DMAC
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 installations:1. W2k with MS SQL 2000 sp2.2. W2003 with MS SQL sp3.There are two databases in all instalations: "maindb" and "userdb". Thetable with data is in maindb.In the 1'st installation I restict user access to all data in table in thisway:- create user's login and user in databases maindb and userdb.- create view in userdb with "where" clause as dbo (dbo is owner of thisview). This clause restict access to data. (create view userdb.dbo.table asselect * from maindb.dbo.table where ...)- add user to group "Public" in maindb.- add role "data reader" to user in userdb.- effect: user can access data only by view, can not access any data inmaindb.I do the same in secound installation:- effect: user can not access data by view - message like this: "userhave not permission to select on maindb.dbo.table"Is this bug in sp3 or in sp2 ?Is there another way to horizontal restrict access data in tables?In Sybase ASE this method (restict by view) works ok.

I have a search box to look up using a number as an identifier. Currently my query is where x = @enteredNumber, but some place where a user might get the number it is padded with zeros. We can have them just see the number and retype it.
EG: 000000123 would be entered as 123.
But, I would like to let them copy and paste, but then strip the zeros (left padding only).
EG:
@num = stripPadding(@enteredNumber)
IE:
@num = stripPadding(000000123)
@num = 123
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 SP3. I added a column to a table like so:
ALTER TABLE T704_RELATIONSHIP_INDEX_CLIENT_REPORT_STORE
ADD Universe_Member_Set_cd INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
What is the syntax for dropping the 'DEFAULT' from this column once it has been created? I've looked in BOL but can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
A few days ago one our database's default filegroup filled up. To solve the problem one of my colleagues created a new filegroup. This didn't solve the problem as no objects were placed on this filegroup and the initial one is still full. The idea was to expand the original filegroup over a new physical disk, not to create a new filegroup on that disk. Unfortunately, this is what happened.
To solve this I want to delete the new filegroup, but when I issue the command 'alter database PvgOmcsOds remove filegroup ternary' I get the message 'Server: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 7, Line 1 The filegroup 'ternary' cannot be removed because it is not empty.' Yet there're no objects placed on this filegroup.
How can I get rid of this filegroup?

I have truncated the log and have run dbcc shrinkfile with the EmptyFile Option, but when I try to use alter database remove file and am I told that the object is not empty and cannot be removed. The server is in dbo use only.
What am I missing?
Hi all,
I am trying to remove one of the filegroups in the development database to shrink its size down. I started with emptying and removing its files and ran:
dbcc shrinkfile
(pubs_data_1,emptyfile)
go
and it ran fine, with 'DBCC execution completed' message
but when I tried :
alter database pubs
remove file pubs_data_1
go
I got 'pubs_data_1 cannot be removed because it is not empty'.
I even tried to go to each of the tables and delete from them first which didn't work, then drop all tables in that filegroup (I knew which tables are located on that filegroup), that didn't work either.
Any ideas? Is there a way to check what else sits on that filegroup?
Thanks
Hi,
We had transactional replication set up by a consultant with remote distributer, push subscription to the publisher (main production database). However, the subscriber machine had fatal crash and is unrecoverable. Now, replication jobs have been failing on distributor and we immediately need to disable and remove replication as it has started causing problems with transaction log backups on production database.
How can I completely remove this whole replication from publisher and distributor?
Please help.
Thanks,

Dear Concerned DBAs,
I am wanting to pick someones brain and find out if there is anything I can do to successfully remove and reinstall SQL Server Version 6.5? I have already removed the software from the SQL Setup icon in ProgramsMSSQL Server 6.5 and went and removed the setup.exe and mssql files associated with the software from the server. Now when I attempt to reinstall the software back onto the server after a hard reboot, I do not get the option once the SQL Server Version 6.5 disk is placed into the CD-Rom to install SQL Server. The only options I get are upgrade, server configurations, etc.
Can anyone or everyone give me a hand as to where to take this dilemma other than rebuilding the server from the ground up?
Anticipatorily Yours,

Hello all,
I have a table named users. It consists of user names, user ids, etc... The problem is that whoever designed the ASP code before me allowed people to enter info in any format they want. This poses a problem because now the name can have 1, 2, or sometimes 3 spaces in between the last and first names. And sometimes the middle initial is used with a period following it. This creates problems when I am trying to execute a Select statement since it won't match if there are an unknown number of spaces in the string and throws an error when a period is used.
Is there a SQL query I can execute to change all the user_names into a format such as the following:
LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial
Like I said, it is already almost the same, just has too many spaces and some have periods after the middle initial
I have a members table and have added an extra few thoushand members to it. Now I need to remove the duplicates.
It doesnt matter which duplicate i remove as long as there are unique email addresses.
so here is the format of the table:
id
email
firstname
lastname
datebirth
if i do a:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Email) AS Expr1
FROM Customer
it returns 21345
and
SELECT Count(Email)
FROM Customer
returns 28987
I can get the unique email addresses into another table by going:
SELECT DISTINCT emailaddress INTO DistinctCustomer
FROM Customer
but this will only return unique email addresses. How do i select distinct email address and all other fields into a new table? or just remove duplicates where email address appears more then once?
Thanks in advance
