Automating A Query And The Saving Saving Of Subsequent Results

Dec 13, 2007

Hi Guys,

I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.

Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.

All ideas gratefully received!

DB Engine :: Will Transaction Log Backups Not Free Up Log During Full Backups

Nov 15, 2015

The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?

Saving To SQL

Nov 29, 2007

I am currently migrating my application from Access to SQL. It looks like it's working good but one thing I cannot understand is why when I have created a varchar(40) field and after I insert a field that is less then 40 characters long, the rest of the string is filled with the leading spaces. I have also create an nchar(40) that did not solve it ether. For example: the text is "Hello World". The text is 11 characters long but the data saved to the table is: "Hello Wolrd" + 29 spaces. Am I doing something wrong?Thanks for your help in advance.

DTS Not Saving

Dec 5, 2007

When I open a DTS package, save it as a bas file, make changes, close the package and save it when prompted, where are my changes saved?

The answer appears to be nowhere. When I reopen the package it's back to it's original setup. When I check the bas file it's as it was when I originally saved it.

Any ideas? Like where my mornings work is gone?

Saving Changes

Nov 20, 2007

Hi, all.This might be a silly question... but I am very new to programming inSQL so please bear with me :)So. I'm using MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. I have atable that was created via an existing .sql file. Included were abunch of stored procedures. I went in to re-format these procedures.(They were written in haste by another programmer. It is my task to goback and improve their readabilities.) However, I am having difficultyfiguring out how to save the changes to these stored procedures. Thusfar, I have been individually saving each stored procedure in itsown .sql file. This is obviously not the way to go... but it's atemporary solution (so as not to lose the changes I have made todozens of procedures).Can someone please explain to me how I commit these changes to thedatabase?Thanks,Allie

Saving Pictures

Sep 13, 2006

Is it better to have users that upload pictures have them saved to SQL server or to a folder?  I have a site where users enter things that they own (and each item has a unique id) and now I would like to add the functionality to add a picture.  I am sure I should use the fileUpload control, but should this save to a folder created for each user or to the SQL record itself?  Or possibly a separate SQL table just for pictures?Thanks for the help.

SQL For Saving A Value In A Variable

Jun 15, 2008

 Hello Im having a little problem getting some values from a database.....
What I need is to get the value of the keyfield of the last entry introduced, I know how to to do the SQL statement for this, the problem is that i dont know how to save this value in a variable. I need to save this value in a variable in the session object or in a hidden field, and then use this variable in another different page. That's way i need to save this ID value, later in the other page I introduce data in a different table and one of the fields has to be this ID value which I have as a foreign key in the table so I need to use the same value in all the rows i introduce(Id value).
If you know how to accomplish this let me know, many thanks, Sergio

Saving A Database

Oct 25, 2006

My install of SQL Server 2005 runs like a dog. The SQL Management Studio splash screen lasts for 10 minutes, then when the Studio window appears it takes another 5 minutes to initialize.

I have SQL server installed on a Germane Server running Windows Server 2K, SP4. It has quad Xeon 2.8 GHz processors with 2GB RAM. 4 300GB drives in a RAID 5 configuration.

I have created 2 databases which I would like to save, uninstall SQL, then reinstall it. (I didn't install it the first time.)

Then load the 2 databases into the new install.

How do I do this?

SAVING PROBLEM

Jan 25, 2006

SAVING PROBLEM
Now i know that my database is really saving
but it is being saved on the copy database in bin folder of the
project folder. But i want it to be saved on databse of the project
folder. Everytime I execute the program, the database on the project
folder copies itself to the bin folder which overwrites the updated
database.

I agree with
Antoine (Software Design Engineer, Visual Studio Data
Design-time) that SSE database has 2 copies
(http://blogs.msdn.com/smartclientdata/archive/2005/08/26/456886.aspx).
He or she suggested to set the property of the databse to "Copy
Never", on my SSE it's "Do not
copy". i cant find "Copy Never", i supposed its
the equivalent. When i executed the program i got an error
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:[app_path]addressbook.mdf failed. A database with the same name
exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC
share".
I
tried her/his 2nd suggestion, leave the data file outside the project
and create a connection to it in Database Explorer, but I got the
same error message.

Someone
from other website suggested to delete the SQLExpress folder in
"c:Documents
and Settings[user name]Local SettingsApplication
DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS"
but this didnt solve the issue.

PLS
HELP. Thanks

Programmatically Saving As PDF?

Jun 9, 2007

Ok. So I have this ASP.NET page and I've programmatically taken a report from the report server and rendered it in PDF. Now I would like to take this a step further and save the report as a pdf document on the local machine.



So at this point I have a byte array representing the document, now how would I save this as a pdf on the local machine? I'm unaware of an ASP Response method to allow this and I'm unaware of a SSRS ReportingService method, but as I said I'm unaware...



Any ideas, thoughts, resources are all welcome.

Saving Data To Another Table

Jun 14, 2007

Hi
I’m making a very primitive shopping cart. I’ve created a table containing a list of products and using an SQLdataSource with a GridView I’ve got the products displayed – simple.
What I now need is to add a button with an Insert command, but the SQL needs to add a row of data to a different table – tblShoppingBasket. I’ve tried adding in the insert command and changing the SQL but it doesn’t add a new record, although is also doesn’t through and error.
The second part of the problem is need to pass the productID from the row they selected (pressed the button that triggered the insert command) and add this to the shoppingBasket table via the insert SQL.
I’d really be grateful for any help (code below).
ThanksRichard
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource_GenralProducts" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AquilaConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [tblProducts] WHERE ([productAgeGroup] = @productAgeGroup)"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [tblShoppingBasket] ([userID], [productID]) VALUES (@userID, @productID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="3" Name="productAgeGroup" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="userID" Type="Object" DefaultValue="123"/>
