1000 + Databses!!
May 22, 2001I have started to install a 3rd party web-based product for our clients that uses SQL 2000 as its backend
However every time that they create a new 'topic' within the web app, it creates a new database, with a single table in it!! - There could/will be 1000's of these 'topics' created
I have told the company we buy this from that this is not acceptable - they have asked why!!
Can anyone point me in the direction of preferably a Microsoft document that I can send to them, as just saying 'you just don't do it that way' isn't working and I can't find anything easily myself
Many thanks
Dumping All Databses
Mar 2, 2007Hey Guys,
I do alot of development on my personal machine and have quite few databases in SQL Server. My PC is very prone to crashing :-p so Im writing a custom batch script to backup up all my data. How can I backup my SQL Server databses into a text file. I dont want to use the BAK file. In MYSQL this is a relatively simple process where i just have to use the mysqldump utility which scripts 'all' my databases (structure and data). Can I do the same thing in SQL Server? Please tell me a way. Its going to save me a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance guys.

Rebuilding System Databses
Nov 22, 2006I have just spent 2 days trying to rebuild my system databases after a crash.
Each time I issued the start /wait setup.exe etc. command, the task would fail with the error:
MSI (s) (80:10) [12:07:34:815]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 1706. An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server 2005 cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SqlRun_SQL.msi'.
The initial install of SQL was run from a network share. The rebuild was from CD.
It seems that the original installation source paths are retained in the registry and are not ignored when attempting a rebuild.
Searching the registry for 'SqlRun_SQL.msi' throws up
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInstallerProducts812B67BE5CF8FD14F9F1F73F0E443838
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesInstallerProducts812B67BE5CF8FD14F9F1F73F0E443838
Resolution:
Under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, change the Sourcelist from network (n) to media (m) and <drive>:ServersSetup instead of the share
Also change MediaPackage under the Media key to ServersSetup
This will automatically amend the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key
This allowed a successful rebuild of the system databases
Bring back Rebuildm!
Multiple Databses For Multi-tenant ASP Application
Mar 28, 2007Hello all,
I am working on an ASP.NET that different companies will be loggin on to. The way the SQL db has been written is that each company will have it's own database. However, I am not sure if this is the right approach since modifying the database would be quite a hassle (i'd have to modify each one). Is there a way a single databse would have several instances that share the same structure but with different data ?
What is the recommended approach in these situations ? Should I re-design the database so that ALL companies store their data in one huge database ?

Need Some Help In Searching
May 8, 2004Dear ASP.NET
How can I find records that contain a STRING from some (more than one) other fields ?
for example, I have:
Name_First = "aaa"
Name_Middle = "bbb"
Name_Last = "ccc"
Key_Words = "aaa,bbb,ccc"
(includes all values - comma separated)
How can I do the SELECT so that when I search for "bbb" on Key_Words I will get my record ?
Should I use "LIKE %aaa%" or something like this ?
(should I keep the comma separators ?)
Thanks in advance, Yovav.
Searching With LIKE
Feb 13, 2006Let say a user wants to search for the name Joe Soap
I have two column's in my table, firstname and lastname
So if I do:
Code:
SELECT firstname, lastname FROM table WHERE firstname LIKE '%Joe Soap%' OR lastname LIKE '%Joe Soap%'
it returns nothing! So do I have to split the string Joe Soap or something ?

Nov 28, 2004my app use a registration table
StudReg
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stRegDt smalldatetime,
stRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)
the application registers the student details to a course.
each student gets a new registration no during registration.
the app should identify repeaters to a particular course by checking another
table RegHistory, which stores the details of student registrations for the previous 5 years.
RegHistory
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stPrevRegDt smalldatetime,
stPrevRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)
the application must search the RegHistory table and list out those students who are the repeaters.
the sample entries in the two tables are as follows
StudReg
stName stDOB stGuardianName stRegDt stRegNo courseid
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2004 12345 1
def 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2004 12346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...
mno 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2004 12400 1
RegHistory
stName stDOB stGuardianName stPrevRegDt stPrevRegNo courseId
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2001 2345 1
ghi 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2001 2346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...
dfg 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2001 2400 1
to determine whether a student is a repeater or not, we have to search for an exact match in RegHistory table (where the student name, guardian name and date of birth in both tables match with the corresponding entries in Registration table).
here is my question,
if there are 100,000 students registering in each academic year, we will have
500,000 records in RegHistory Table and 100,000 records in studReg table
if i start searching for a repeater, i guess i will have to loop through all records in studReg, for an exact match in RegHistory, which wil be a time consuming process.
is there any other options to search for repeaters ?

XML And Searching
Jul 23, 2005Hi,I have come to point in my db design where I'm trying to figure whichis the best approach in making it generic (does this really matter?!?)Senario - I have a table called JOBS and this table contains fieldsuch as JobTitle, JobDescription, Salary etcI want to add to this table other attributes which are specific to acertain Job Industries.Solution - Add a join table for each type of industry containingattributes (db is now not generic) OR add a new table with a IndustryType field and a XML field containing the industry specificattributes.If I go the XML way will this just make it complex and slow to query?If not, what is the best way to query an XML field?Thanks,Jack

Aug 31, 2006i'm making a web page for a clinic.it needs to be able to search for patients by first name, surname, date of birth and patient number.i'm using visual web developer and i have my database, my data source and GridView grid.i want 4 text boxes for my first name, surname etc. when u click enter on any of them i want to retrieve all their data and display it in the gridview.at the moment i have one text box on the web page and through the "Configure data source" option on the grid view i can retrieve the specified data but for only this one item, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE ([DOB] = @DOB). if i add another text box to my web page, and don't do anything to it, the query wont run. if i add and "AND" statement to the query, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE (([DOB] = @DOB) AND ([FirstName] = @FirstName)), again it won'r run or return and data. any ideas on what i can do or where i'm going wrong. thanks

Sep 30, 2007I have a table
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Speech] ( [SpeechId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PkSpeech_SpeechId PRIMARY KEY, [UniqueName] [varchar](52) NOT NULL, [NativeName] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Place] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Type] [smallint] NOT NULL, [LanguageId] [char](2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_LanguageId FOREIGN KEY (LanguageId) REFERENCES Language(LanguageId) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE, [SpeakerId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_SpeakerId FOREIGN KEY (SpeakerId) REFERENCES Speaker(SpeakerId) ON DELETE CASCADE, [IsFavorite] [bit] NOT NULL, [IsVisible] [bit] NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NULL )
Now I want to search the Table Speech
Sometimes by : SpeechIdSometimes by : SpeakerIdSometimes by : LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeechId And LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeakerId And LanguageId
All can have conditions with IsVisible, IsFavorite and Type columns.
for example
I need all Speeches withany particular SpeakerId and LanguageIdwith IsVisible equals to trueand IsFvaorite No Matterand Type equals to Audio
For these type of queries I think the solution is
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sprocGetSpeech]
@speechId int = NULL, @uniqueName varchar(52) = NULL, @nativeName nvarchar(52) = NULL, @place nvarchar(52) = NULL, @type smallint = NULL, @languageId char(2) = NULL, @speakerId int = NULL, @isFavorite bit = NULL, @isVisible bit = NULL
AS
SELECT SpeechId, UniqueName, NativeName, Place, Type, LanguageId, SpeakerId, IsFavorite, IsVisible, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate FROM Speech WHERE SpeechId = @speechId AND UniqueName = CASE WHEN @uniqueName IS NULL THEN [UniqueName] ELSE @uniqueName END AND NativeName = CASE WHEN @nativeName IS NULL THEN [NativeName] ELSE @NativeName END AND Place = CASE WHEN @place IS NULL THEN [Place] ELSE @place END AND Type = CASE WHEN @type IS NULL THEN [Type] ELSE @type END AND LanguageId = CASE WHEN @languageId IS NULL THEN [LanguageId] ELSE @languageId END AND SpeakerId = CASE WHEN @speakerId IS NULL THEN [SpeakerId] ELSE @speakerId END AND IsFavorite = CASE WHEN @isFavorite IS NULL THEN [IsFavorite] ELSE @isFavorite END AND IsVisible = CASE WHEN @isVisible IS NULL THEN [IsVisible] ELSE @isVisible END
Can anyone tell me?
Is it right way to do?Do you have any better solution?If my solution is better then Is there any performance loss with that query?

Searching In Tables
Dec 8, 2004Hi All,
Just wanted to run this idea past u all before I have a go at it.
I have two tables A & B that are similar to the below
Table A
Name1 Name2 Name3
Tom Bill John
Gary Harry Eric
TableB
Name1 Name2 Name3
John Bill Tom
Tom Eric john
Leslie Philip Colin
What I wanted to do is see if the the records from tableA row 1 exist in tableB
As you can see they can appear in any order, partially or not at all.
What I propose to do is take tableA Name1 and see if it matches tableb row1 name 1 OR name 2 OR name 3 and if I find a match use a variable to assign the the value 1 (so I can then see if the match is full (score three) partial socre 1 and two or not at all (0)
Then I will need do the same for tableA row 2
Then goto row 2 of table a and start again.
Does this make sense? Are there beter ways of doing this.
I am using SQL server to do the searching....?
All comments appreciated and welcome.

Jun 29, 2005Hi again!
I have a products table with product attributes in a second table,
together they describe a full product. I have a product title, a
list of providers, description text, and keywords. I would like
to do a search across these fields, and so far my research has shown
that the Full Text Search component of SQL Server is the way to
go. However, I am not sure this will be possible based on what is
installed on the hosted server, so I am wondering if there is a unique,
cool way of doing this without Full Text Search?
Thanks,

Question About Searching
Mar 31, 2002I'm quite new to SQL, just wondering is there a way to search
the entire database (instead of a table using select) for something?
Say I create a new database to keep track of my CDs. A new table is
created in this database for each CD, and of course each row of this
table represents one track. Is there a way, either using tsql or through
the enterprise manager or query analyzer, to say list all songs that are
sung by a singer with the first name "John"?
I've tried the object finder in query analyzer, doesn't quite work.
I'm looking for something like
select * from *
where singerfirstname = 'John'
This of course doesn't work...
please help! Thanks so much in advance!

Searching Through DTS Packages?
Jul 10, 2006I'm trying to find out what modifies a certain table (yay for more debugging without documentation). Using some TSQL provided by a friend, I've searched through the stored procedures, and I've searched through the various pages in the web app, but the only references to the table are updates and selects (not inserts).
The table itself is intended as an archive for another table.
Unfortunatly, the documention for this web app is worthless, and the code has little to no comments to boot.
Is there any way to search through DTS packages aside from opening them each individually and looking at the parts?

Searching For Whole Words?
Dec 21, 2005How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.
For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.
SELECT Name, Description
FROM tblWine
WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
Any ideas?
