Hi,
I have a column (type: datetime) in which I want to load the current date and time.
What should I fill in in the default value or binding so that SQL server automatically fills this column?
Thanks!
Ok I have a script to generate a database, and newly added to the database is a date fild for a specfic table. I have the 'Default value or binding' set to (getdate()) how exactly would you add that to the script for then the table is initialy generated. Or is it soemthing I would need another script to do right after the table generation.This is the script for the table in question:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[cust_file] ( [id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [customer_id] [int] NULL , [filename] [varchar] (255) NULL , [filedata] [image] NULL , [contenttype] [varchar] (255) NULL , [length] [int] NULL, [added_date] [datetime] NULL) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GO
Any help would be great,Tim MeersWannabe developer.
Hey guys, how can I use a long text as default value in my database (column properties)?I tried to paste my 10 row text into the field but it will only paste the first row as default value.any ideas??

I'm trying to set an int type attribute to 0 for its Default Value, but it keeps reverting to ((0)). What is causing this?
Every int type attribute on that table does the same. There is one bit type attribute and a bunch of other type of attributes, but non of them are giving me a problem. The table is a copy from another database and I did check all the constraints and properties to make sure they're the same.
Thank you,

I just moved from Access to SQL 2005 Express. I have a table with contains a Column contactDate datetime. Under the properties tab ( in SQL Manager ), I see a field "Default Value or Binding".
I would like to have a default date/time entered into this field when a new record is created. In Access I used the Now() to get this done. Any sites that list some of the values that can be entered into this field?
TIA - RR
Is it possible to define a Default value of a column as a select statement (or stored procedure that executes that select)?
My select should look sth like this in order to replace 'AB1236':
select 'AB' + cast((max(substring(col1, 3, 4)) + 1) as varchar(6)) from t_table1
col1 (varchar (6))
....
AB1233

Hello,
I have a report which displays a customers invoice, in both the companys local currency, and the customers local currency.
The report language is "English (United Kingdom)"
The fields showing customers currency language setting is set to something else, i.e. "France (French)" to display the Euro currency.
The application handles 34 currencies, the query returns the language string, ("France (French)"), to allow the report to bind its language setting to the querys output.
However, it doesn't work, a normal textbox will display the correct country name string, but Reporting Services cannot bind the language setting to a query result. So I also tried setting it as a report parameter, but no joy either (all currencys revert to USD).
I'm using =First(Fields!curFormat.Value, "myDataSet") to bind the 'language' setting, the result of this expression returns "France (French)", which is a valid option for this language setting, as it's in the drop down list.
Rather than create 34 seperate reports for each currency, are there any suggestions on how to bind a fields language setting to a query result?
I want to be able to have an authorized person set or change the default values of a table column in a SQL Database. I have a stored procedure that sets the default which works fine: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[addMyConst]ASBEGINALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1]ADD DEFAULT 70 FOR [Auto_ourlim]END(I still need to put parameters in so that I can run the stored procedure from a form, but for now....)
To change it I know that I have to drop the constraint first like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dropmyValue]ASALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim]
The problem is that when I execute the procedure I get the error that "Auto_ourlim" is not a constraint so it does not drop the Default Value. When I go over to SQL Server Management Studio Express I can see why:
If I open up the table and open up the Constraints the constraint is "DF__tbl1__Auto_ourli__5FB337D6". I could change the DROP CONSTRAINT to this, and that works, but it changes every time I add the new DEFAULT VALUE. I don't know how to get around it. Is there a way to put wildcards around "Auto_our" in DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim}? Any suggestions would be welcome...even if there's a totally different way to do it.
What I'm trying to ultimately accomplish is this: Column1 (AutoLimits) would be user insert to the database and then in the database it would MINUS Column2 (Auto_ourlim - set with the default value) = Column3 (Difference - a computed field in the database)

Hi there!
My provider does not yet support SQL Server 2005, they are still on SQL Server 2000. I put together a very basic login page, but it is crashing everytime I access it because of this problem, and sadly I am not advanced enough as yet to know how to remedy it! Can you help?
Here is the error page, some of it; - Any ideas gratefully received!

This isn't really DB related, except for the connection, but I was wondering if any of you guys had run into this before.
I have a ODBC System DSN Setup for a connection to my MSSQL2K Server. My users will occasionally lose the Default Database setting (Drop-down during DSN Setup), forcing me to go in and reset it. It's getting to be a pain in the ass and I was wonder if any of you guys had run into this before.
Thanks!

Is there any practical downside to setting ANSI_NULLS and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER to ON at the database level? Almost all devs will simply leave these default settings at the top of a stored proc script anyway.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPardon the newbie question...but I'm trying to load a dimension table in a small data mart that has columns in it that are unique to the dimension and not sourced from any source table. Two of those columns are date columns that I want to default to the system date and the other column I want to load with a default value. I can't figure out how to do this within a data flow task. The source columns flow from the input db source into a scd transform but I can't seem to edit the columns in the target table table if they don't actually come from a data source. There doesn't seem to be a data transform object to handle this.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have few question:
1)Is it any methot to modify lock_timeout default value? (Default value is -1, if i want to modify default value for example 1, i try [SET lock_timeout 1;] but it only work during that session / connection)
2)Is it any method to modifyTransaction Isolation Level default value? (Default value is READ COMMITTED, if i want to modify default value for example READ UNCOMMITTED, I try [SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;], but it only work during that session / connection)
Thank you!~

I've been reading some forums and I'm not able to get this to work. Basically I'm using an Oracle DB source and trying to import data into SQL server 2005. I guess the best connections to use are OLE DB.
Here are my current connections:
Source: Native OLE DBOracle Provide for OLE DB
Destination: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client
I'm running SP2 of SQL 2005.
Now, the issue is I'm not getting the code page stuff correct. In the data flow I'm just doing a OLE DB Source to SQl Server Destination. I'm not doing any transformations (I'm hoping to avoid doing that).
I'm getting an error:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
I'm looking at how to set the DefaultCodePage property in various forums, but nowhere does it say exactly how to do this. I've tried changing the "Extended Properties" and added AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage=TRUE in there, but that doesn't work. I've tried changing the Locale Identifier to 1252 that doesn't work. I've tried a combination of the two, doesn't work. Can somebody tell me two things:
1. what's the best/fastest/industry used method to get data from Oracle into SQL server via SSIS (please include the type of connections).
2. How the hell do you set the DefaultCodePage property. I would love a screenshot on this one as well.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been trying to configure the Paper Size to be default "A4" instead of "Letter".
My Report is configured to 21cm x 29,7cm and margins 1,5cm.
The Body is configured to 18cm x 26,7cm.
Everything looks fine in the Preview but the Size is always "Letter". The printers are all configured for A4 printing.
Is there a way to set these default values in the Page Setup Toolbar or is it supposed to figure it out?
Thanks,

Hi
I have a database details veiw on my vb 2005 express form.
When I run my program , all the data in row 1 automatically shows up, as the default.
How can I set the default to show the data from row 2 when I start up my program?
Thanks
Rob
how to achieve the below mentioned in SSAS: P
1 - Set Default values 20 and 80
2 -Set Default value <> 90 or except 90.
I thought this would be easy. I have a repeater control and a sqldatasource control. I am trying to filter the select statement using DateTime.Now.ToString() and keep getting an invalid date string format. The control is on a content page in my asp.net site. On the master page this <%= DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() %> works to display the current date. If I try and put <%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %> in the Default value of the SelectParameter it does not work. No intellisense either so I am assuming I am missing something. Here is the code... pretty basic really.
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="sqlDSnews">
<ItemTemplate>
<h3><%# Eval("newTitle")%></h3>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
<asp:SqlDataSource
ID="sqlDSnews"
runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:XXXX%>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [newTitle], [newsDetails], [dateExpires], [newsImage], [dateCreated] FROM [News] WHERE (([GroupID] = @GroupID) AND ([dateExpires] >= @dateExpires))">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="0" Name="GroupID" QueryStringField="Gid" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Parameter Name="dateExpires" DefaultValue='<%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %> 'Type="DateTime" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Hello,
I'm trying to set the default value of a column (SysInvNum) in a table (caseform) of mine by concatenating 3 other fields in the same table. These other fields are all Integer datatypes. they are "CaseYear" e.g. (2005), "InvNum" e.g. (0001) and "PostId" e.g. (5).
So basically the SysInvNum column for this row should read '200500015'
When I run a basic query using the CAST or CONVERT functions like this:
SELECT convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) from caseform
OR
SELECT cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(InvNum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform
I get the results I want. But since I want this value to be the default value of the column, I tried inserting this: convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) into the default value parameter of the column in the caseform table. The result is a string that is the query itself.
I then tried creating a UDF called getsysinvnum() where I declare and set 2 variables whilst returning one of the variables as a varchar. An example of what it looks like is this:
CREATE FUNCTION GetSysInvNum()
RETURNS varchar
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @maxcaseid Int
DECLARE @sysinvnum varchar
SELECT @maxcaseid = max (caseid) from caseform
SELECT @sysinvnum = cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(invnum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform where caseid = @maxcaseid
RETURN @sysinvnum
END
The result I get when I plug this into the default value of the column as : ([dbo].[getsysinvnum]()) is "2".
Yes it returns the number "2" could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or suggest a better way for me to do this?
Thanks in advance

Now the RS folks might be thinking but how does this help me as I need a dataset and a dataset can only be based on a Stored Procedure or a direct table. No problem create the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspCommonDates] AS
begin
set datefirst 1
declare @date datetime
set @date = getdate()
select * from dbo.udfCommonDates(@date)
end
Now you've got a stored procedure to use as a dataset...Now in reporting services add a new dataset:
Now go to the report parameters section of the report:
Now pick that dataset dsFunctions (or whatever you called it) and then pick any of the value fields from the scalar functions such as:
Now when you run the report it uses the scalars:
If you have questions feel free to ask :).
Hope this helps someone
Hello,
Is it possible to establish a set of default report and report body properties, perhaps in an ini file of some sort so that upon creating a new project and adding a new report item the developer does not have to go through the process of setting up all the interactive sizes, margins, paper sizes, etc each and every time? We have an established header that we incorporate on all reports and while in transition to the new Reporting Services it was my hope of finding something will create the first set of default conditions to help us automate the process just a bit.
Thank you.
Hi all,
Does sombody have experience on dynamically set or change the default value of a report parameter?
Assuming: report parameters p1, p2, p3, p4 have been set up(and have their default value 'all') with the creation of the report1; report browseing is through reportviewer that embedded in the web application; datasource is datacube
What I want to do: based on the login user of the my web application, set default value of p1 as the user's username.
What I did is:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter reportParam = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("P1","Mary");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter []{ reportParam });
what I got when reveiw the report:
P1 has no default value, and p2, p3, p4 greyed and could not choose value from them.
Any idea and suggestion will be pre-appreciated!

Hi all, I am trying to do a very basic ALTER Command and am trying to change its DEFAULT value. Code below is what I currently have:
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE Table_1
ALTER COLUMN TEST VARCHAR(1000) NULL DEFAULT 2
Thanks, Onam.
*UPDATE* I found this code but are there alternative methods? Additionally, if I was to update its DEFAULT value again how would I go about doing that? Do I first have to remove the CONSTRAINT and then run the command?
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE Table_1 ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Albumns_Comment DEFAULT 2 FOR TEST
How can I set the multivalue parameter list's default option to <Select All> ?
