PLEASE Help A Rookie
Jan 26, 1999Hello,
I would like to create a SQL Server DB on my win95 machine...I have VB Studio 97 Enterprise Edition loaded on my machine.
When I go to Interdev and try to create a Project (via New DB wizard) the first question is "What Server do you want to create your DB on?"
I haven't found ANY documentation that details how to set up the Client and the Server on the SAME machine.
1) Can you set up SQL Server in a way that the same machine is the Client and the Server?
2) Do I need anymore software than VB Studio 97 Enterprise Edition? (To setup a SQL Server DB on my machine)
I basically need guidance on how to create a DB on my local machine, so I can reference it in my ASP application.
I appreciate your help, RB
Rookie Question
Mar 21, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to read the most recent entries in a table of data.
Its fairly straightforward because there is a timestamp saved when I write into the table.
For a table with the following columns
Username, description, location, timestamp, result1, result2
I can select the max timestamp for a username and it will return the most recent date/time that an entry was written to the table for that particular user. No problems with that.
However, what I really want is to select the most recent timestamp for each location for each username; I also need the result1 and result2 fields returned.
Thus for the following table:
user description location timestamp result1 result2
Jo Red Hall 01/01/06 Yes Yes
Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No
Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No
I would like a query to return:
Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No
Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No
The problem is if I do
Select max(timestamp) as Tmstp, description, user, location, result1, result2 from tblSomeTble
I will get
Jo Red Hall 01/01/06 Yes Yes
Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No
Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No
because some of the results are different and thus the SQL will return the most recent entry for each unique combination of user, location, result1 and result2.
I've solved the problem by doing two separate database reads; the first does a simple
Select max(timestampdescription) as Tmstp, user, location
then I use VB.net to fill a dataset and read these values from the dataset and plug them into a second SQL for a second database read like:
Select max(timestamp) as Tmstp, description, user, location, result1, result2 from tblSomeTble where timestamp = [timestamp from first sqlread] and user = [user] and location = [location from first sqlread]
it all works fine, but I'm aware its messy and probably not very scaleable to have multiple database reads that are unnecessary. It must be a commonly encountered problem though? How do other people handle this? is there a common solution people use?
thanks

Backuping Up Database --- ROOKIE ---HELP !!
Nov 9, 2000I am getting an error backing up databases on a remote SQL Server. I have tried using two options:
1. All tasks, Backup Database... (Enterprise Manager)
2. Database Maintenance Plan Wizard
In both cases, I get the following error:
2000-11-09 18:21:34.93 kernel BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia:
Backup device 'FMSSQLBACKUPwOLTP_db_200011091821.BAK' failed to create.
Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
What are the exact NT and SQL Server permissions needed to perform backups.
Also, I am able to write manually to the backup directory not through the SQL Server application.
NOTE: ALTHOUGH I WAS ABLE TO REGISTER THE REMOTE SERVER USING USER sa,
I CANNOT STOP OR START ANY OF THE SERVICES (SQL SERVER AGENT...)
OR CONFIGURE THEIR STARTUP ACCOUNTS (GREYED OUT)!!
PLEASE HELP
THANKS

SSIS Rookie Question
Apr 10, 2008Hi everyone,
I'm new to SSIS. I need to Extract, transform and load data from one SQL table to another. I want to do something like "select count(a) from table 1 where ...."
I have define the following Data flow items on the package designer, I believe that OLE DB source & OLE DB Destination, are correctly configured, however i don't see how can i transform data on the "OLE DB COMMAND" item....should i use "data conversion" instead ?
ps: is there any site where i can find examples of data transformations ?
Rookie Question About Query/View
Jul 23, 2005I have much MSACCESS expeience and am new to SQL so here goes...I am trying to create calculated fields in a view, but can't seem tomore complex calculations to work.I can create a new field which does simple arithmetic on two otherfields and rename it so it becomes part of the new view to be queriedby other views, but when I use more complicated constructs I can'tseem to get them to work.For starters:How do you create a new field that has a number based on an IFconstruct based on another field.Example:field1 has state abbrevs and field 2 should have a "1" if field1="NY".In access I do field2:IIF(field1="NY",1,0),How do I accomplish this in MS SQL.Can it be done in the view?Thanks,Brad

View 6 Replies View RelatedRookie Question? Peer-to-Peer Replication Not Detecting Conflict
Mar 8, 2007Hi
Sorry for asking what may be a rookie question... We have configured transactional peer-to-peer replication in a testing environment with two servers, each publishing and subscribing to each other. If we write a piece of code that updates the same row on both servers with different values, we are not seeing data conflict issues. The data updated on server 1 propagates to server 2, but at the same time data updated on server 2 is updated on server 1. This leaves the records on each server out of data.
I expected my test case to produce errors, but instead I got inconsistent data. How do you turn on data consistency checking?
Thanks in advance
