[[Disclaimer: I am by no means a highly-skilled DBA. I have just enough db skills to get my job done, which involves light sql server and oracle tasks. I appreciate the help, guys.]]
I am trying to replace the path section of filenames listed in a collumn of my database. The filenames are UNC paths, and all files have 8 digit filenames with the same extension (they are all tif images). The length of the paths in the filenames will change, however.
Here is what my old paths look like:
\imageimagesNYY-MMABCDEFGH.TIF
..and here is the new path (all of the images are being consolidated into one directory):
\als-imagealscom31imagesdbABCDEFGH.TIF
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried using the following query to do this:
update image set filename=replace(filename,'\imageimages5 0-08','\als-imagealscom31imagesdb')
This returns insanely crazy results like 460239 row affected, when it should be about a thousand.
--------------------------------------------
I have also tried the following:
update image set filename=right(filename,12) + '\als-imagealscom31imagesdb' where left(filename,21) = '\imageimages5 0-08'
This affects zero rows.
Please guide me down the one true path. My coworkers are clueless and I'm quickly running out of disk on the old box.
Update [table] Set collumnName = Substring(collumnName, 1, 2) = '11' AND Substring(collumnName, 3, 5) = '00000' Where (conditional statement)
SQL is not letting me perform the update because of the AND statement between the two Substring's. Is there anyway around this...is there anything else I can do to acomplish what I'm trying to do.
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed. Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder. 2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution) 3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server. 4. From Development pc packege executes successfully. 5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
Hi I have sql 2000/2005 installation path errors in some of prodution servers. Like we have standards that backup files should go to E: drive and data files to f: and log files to h:. Can any one help me in this issue what can be done with out reinstallation,
We have a growing issue where we have a relative dtsconfig file (which stores the absolute base path of the ETL packages). This way we can keep the ETL projects failry portable - only having to modify one value in the dtsconfig file. The master package that defines the dtsconfig location (which is config/Default.dtsconfig) usually interpretates this location to be relative the project. The problem is that every now and again when you open this package in .NETStudio, the path is interpreted differently and causes: config/Default.dtsconfig to state invalid path. But when we delete the variable (which defines the dtsconfig path), save/close and open/recreate it works again. This may or may not be supported MS method, but I was curious to know why this gets messed up. Is there somehwere in the .NET framework that defines what "/" is relatively under?
For example: Our absolute config path is "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesETLProjectETLBaseconfigDefault.dtsconfig" but using: "config/Default.dtsconfig" for xml file value works. However, sometimes we will get an error stating that this file cannot be found, and when we just try to delete (without saving and closing) and immediatelly try to put "config/Default.dtsconfig" again and hit next, we get an error and the path is now:
This has probably been covered in other posts. I have been working with SSIS for the past month and I am trying to follow best practices on various items. Having worked with a different ETL tool prior to this, I am wondering what is the best approach to use for Connections and File Paths.
What I would normally do with DataStage for this would be to assign a Job Variable (and eventually Sequence Variable) of the type: Path. So, if I was developing a job I would create SourceFilePath, ErrorFilePath, etc. I would use these variables in a FlatFile or Dataset Stage. For instance I would assign a filename for a source as: #SourceFilePath#SourceFile1.txt. During execution the job would load the variable and then the filename would be: C:MyDocumentsDatafilesSourceFile1.txt.
When its time to move to another environment, I don't have to worry about changing values for file connections because it is managed dynamically by a config file or whatever method.
What is the best practice that emulates this behaviour for SSIS? I've been thick and can't get my head around this. Any direction to blogs or user sites would be great. Examples, even better!
I am trying to set up a TEST ENIVORNMENT for a reservation software package. I need this setup so that I can run various scheduling scenarios in order to optimize operations. Below I have been given instructions from the software vendor on how to set up my SQL database. However, I am a little confused on what to do for a couple of the steps. They are as follows:
***In SQL server 2000 enterprise manager on the test laptop, change the 2 path settings in the table SGCONFIG. The should be changed to C:StratagenAdept5Server. ** YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS STEP EVERYTIME YOU RESTORE A BACKUP ADEPT5_CLASTRAN.BAK FROM THE PRODUCTION TO THE TEST ENVIRONMENT
QUESTION: How do you change the path settings on a table?
***Open the .udl files in the apps folder and the server apps folder and check to see that they are pointing to the test laptop server, not the production server.
QUESTION: What are the .udl files and how do you check to see if they are pointing at the test laptop server only?
Thanks sincerely for your help. I am trying to meet a deadline for a meeting tomorrow. Therefore, I am desperate. Please send me email. rtanner@clastran.com.

What are the SQL 2005 Upgrade Paths? For example, is there a direct in-place upgrade for SQL 6.5? SQL 7.0? Can someone provide a link please? Thanks in advance.
I have created over a hundred reports and each of them are scheduled to output a pdf. The problem is this was temporary and each week I would like to output the reports to a directory that is based upon time. For example, I have 13 groups of reports and each group has 9 reports. Each group has it's own directory and folder. IE group A would be saved in something like \client filesgroup aweekly reportsMar 17 2008. The next week the reports for the same group need to be saved in \client filesgroup aweekly reportsMar 24 2008. This would be the same for each of the groups; group A, group B etc.
The question is there a way to set these paths dynamically or at least iterate through the subscriptions and change the paths?
I have an ActiveX Script Task in SQL Server 2000. It chooses one of two possible success-paths depending on if a file exist or not. (Part of the old ActiveX Script for choosing next step is below)
I need to rewrite this for a Script Task in SQL Server 2005 but it seems like it doesn't have this functionality and objects.
Does anyone know how to write the code for choosing the next step in a Script Task or knows another way to solve my problem?
The package is not suppose to fail if the file is missing, it's must succeed and that's why I need two success-paths.

Ive just installed VS2005 Pro and SQL Server Developer edition.
Now I want to set the default paths for project, templates, settings. But I want for both VS and SQL files.
For example, right now the default folders for SQL Studio are:
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioSettings
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioTemplates
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioBackup Files
... and so on.
For VS Studio:
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projects
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Templates
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Code Snippets
... and so on.
I would like for all sub-folders(from SQL Server and VS) to be in one same folder(Development), for example:
.My DocumentsDevelopmentProjects
.My DocumentsDevelopmentSettings
.My DocumentsDevelopmentTemplates
.My DocumentsDevelopmentBackup Files
.My DocumentsDevelopmentCode Snippets
... and so on.
I have tried changing in each application´s options the default path for each one, pointing to each folder I listed above.
My problem is that both VS and SQL Server still keeps creating folders in the old locations, for example: ".My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects". This example happens when I create a new query, and try to save it, it automatically creates that folder.
It only works for a few of them, like the settings folder. Ive managed to create a single folder for SQL and VS setting files.
Is there a way I can join both Application folders? I want to keep both projects files in one folder, both setting files in one folder, and so on...
Currently I have an sql string which looks like this
INSERT INTO tblPDFFiles (fileType,PDFcontent) SELECT 'First test file', BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET(Bulk 'C://Test.pdf, SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB
But the files i am trying to access is on a different shared server called 'test2008' now im told I can access this doing
INSERT INTO tblPDFFiles (fileType,PDFcontent) SELECT 'First test file', BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET(Bulk ' \test2008 estpdf.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB
Which I made sure had the pdf there I get the following error

Hi there.I've been searching for this error specifically but I haven't found anything yet.I have these two tables (USERS and REQUESTS):USERS ( [LOGIN] [varchar] (10) NOT NULL , [NAME] [varchar] (20) NOT NULL)where LOGIN is the primary key.The problem comes when I try to create the "REQUESTS" table.In these requests there's one user who types the request. After one or two days, there's other user who aproves the request. The problem is that I need two foreign keys referencing the table "USERS".CREATE TABLE REQUESTS ([ID] [numeric](5, 0) NOT NULL ,[DATE] [datetime] NOT NULL ,[NOTES] [varchar] (100) NOT NULL ,[TYPED_BY] [varchar] (10) NOT NULL ,[APROVED BY] [varchar] (10) NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOALTER TABLE REQUESTS ADD CONSTRAINT [PK__REQUESTS__07DE5BCC] PRIMARY KEY ( [ID]) ON [PRIMARY] GOALTER TABLE REQUESTS ADD CONSTRAINT [FK__REQUESTS__TYP__15702E88] FOREIGN KEY ([TYPED_BY]) REFERENCES [USERS] ([LOGIN]) ON UPDATE CASCADE ,CONSTRAINT [FK__REQUESTS__APR__12742E08] FOREIGN KEY ([APROVED_BY]) REFERENCES [USERS] ([LOGIN]) ON UPDATE CASCADEAnd SQL returns:Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__REQUESTS__APR__12742E08' on table 'REQUESTS' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.Could not create constraint. See previous errors.Ok, after that, I tried creating a new table to store aprovals (Table with two fields: "REQUEST_ID" and "APROVED_BY").So, I removed "APROVED_BY" field from "REQUESTS" and its FK constraint.The same error comes up.I don't think this structure goes into "cycles" or "multiple cascades".How can I do this?Thanks in advanceRegardsRoland
I'm curious if there's a "best practice" for setting up the data directories MS SQL will use for each operation? I've allocated independent disks for things like C: (OS), E: (DATA), etc etc etc but I'm not familiar w/ MS SQL to understand how DBA's commonly configure the folders under each unique disk for things like DATA, LOGS, BACKUP, INDEXES, and TEMPDB. Should I have an identically name folder as show below in my example?
You can see I've just mirrored the drive name to a new folder under the partition so data is being written to: F:DATA and E:LOGS. Is this considered correct / good practice? I assume naming the folder in each mount point to whatever I logically called the drive is correct but if I should change how I configure my drive paths above. I'm trying to learn common good SQL Server practices and while I work on properly installing SQL Server 2012/2014, I want to make sure I configure my partition names SQL will utilize correctly.

I am on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have a table that contains a field called [Location]. In that field is a UNC path to the physical file on the repository. Is there a way in SQL Server that I can say give me the select sum([Location] UNC file) where criteria? I saw some posts about xp_filesize or xp_GetFileDetails, but I do not see them in master. I am unable to add anything and wondering if there is any native functionality that would allow me to accomplish this!?
Is there documentation somewhere about multiple execution paths in SSIS control flow? I didn't find documentation anywhere. I have a situation where I have two tasks that take considerable time, but could be executed in parallel (to speed up things) and I was wondering whether SSIS supports parallelism.
To illustrate the issues in simultaneous execution, I created a test SSIS package. In the package, I have five tasks, let's call them T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. The taks are connected with "green arrows" like this:
T1->T2
T1->T3
T2->T4
T3->T4
T5 is not connected. The tasks can be e.g. Send Mail tasks, that's not relevant to this issue. I put a breakpoint in each task and execute the package.
When I execute package, T1 and T5 become active, i.e. the arrow that displays where the package execution currently is, is in two tasks simultaneously. Now F10 (step over) doesn't seem to work "Unable to step. Not implemented". If I press F5 nothing happens. After I press F5 for a second time tasks T1 and T5 and executed. Why don't they execute with the first pressing of F5? I would additionally like to know whether these two tasks are executed in parallel or sequentially, i.e. in the same thread or in two threads? Is there documentation of this?
The execution stops at T2&T3. Again, pressing F5 doesn't do anything, but the second time I press F5 T2 and T3 are executed.
I have two tables called a and b. a has one row called aId where aId is the PK. b has bId, aId_1 and aId_2 where bId is the PK and aId_1 and aId_2 both allow nulls.
If I have a relationship between aId and aId_1, and another relationship between aId and aId_2, where I set the delete rule for both to SET_NULL, then I get the error -
"may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths"
But its completely reasonable that I might wish to do this.
The funny thing is that under Visual Studio, I can create a Data Set with these tables and using the designer, I can set the both foreign key relationships to Delete Rule Set Null and everything works as expected.
So, I'm unsure now if I just need to set the Delete rules using the Dataset designer and not bother with them in the database itself.
It did not run and when I manually added the parameter it changed to: http://server/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fNavsion%2fNavision+PO+Report&rs%3aCommand=Render&PONo=15818
I also tried to change the properties parameters settings has default unchecked and prompt unchecked
do I need to place the file in a folder on the server instead of uplading it?
If you use "SELECT filename FROM sys.sysdatabases" this will return the full path , such as "E:MSSQLdatamyData.MDF" ,
is it possible to return just the "myData.MDF" part of it? I know that you can parse the string , but is it stored somewhere else , or is there a command that will return just the physical file name ?

Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.
I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?
