This Is So Silly
Jul 1, 2004I Imported a table over to sql 2000 server(through the DTS), then I exported the table to access 2000. After creating my forms my users were trying ot add data but couldnt, they kept getting an error message saying these records are not updateable. After some research I found that I never appointed a primary key, so after doing so the records became updateable. constant learning process adn I love it :)
View 7 Replies View RelatedSilly BAcKUp Log Is Too Big
Jun 11, 2001Is there a way to restore just the data.mdf file and accept an existing log?
Current state: A client has a backup where the data file is 400mb and the log is 4.99gb. The avaiable hhd space is 6gb.
Restoring the backup to a test database fails.
Objective: Check the calendar file for missing data, and if found, update the live calendar with the missing items.
We don't need the database to be fully operational, we only need a particular table. I'll write a cursor if needed to update the live cal from the restored backup.
I suspect that the available diskspace is causing the retore to fail.
TIA
I've Done A Very Silly Thing And Need Help
Mar 25, 2003After being put in a position where I had to deal with a SQL problem without very little SQL knowledge I have screwed a clients main database up.
I backed up the transaction log and then deleted the log. The database is shown as suspect and won't let me restore.
Am I F&%ked?
Any help in sorting this out will be rewarded with much kudos and thanks
This Is Probably A Silly Question
Jul 8, 2004I wanted to create a table with an exsisting table, then create a relationship between the two. The table being created needs a DocID autonumbered primary key, is that possible to create through sql. An autonumber like access has, through a query or something. should I just have a insert into query or something?? how would I go about doing that.
Goodmorning Guys :)

Jan 23, 2006Yes this is a silly question, but I don't know the answer!
I have developed a database using SQL Server 2K. I am now upgrading to SQL Server 2005. Can I still use my current database files in SQL Server 2005? If I can, do u have any idea how I can make SQL Server 2005 load up the old files and start working?
Also my hosting provider has NOT upgraded to SQL Server 2005. He will only accept the old SQL Server 2K files. Can SQL Server 2005 save files that will work on a SQL Server 2K server?
Thank you!!!

Mar 3, 2008In a situation when you have a power cut, and then sometime later 'most' of your sql servers come back on line, is it better to leave them all down unless they all come back online, or is it better to let some of them come back up knowing that the ones that do come up will have job failure issues with the ones that are down. I pose this question purely from the perspective of scheduled job problem as we do not have people on site when we have intermittent power cuts at weekends. What would scheduled jobs which are due to run , but miss their run time as we leave the servers down after a power cut till we get back in on Mondays do when we do actually re-power them up, would they just resume from their next scheduled point, or would they try to run as often as they should have run?

Silly Question...
Apr 24, 2007Hi everyone,
Inside a Script Task I€™ve got this line:
Dts.Variables("Var1").Value = Dts.Variables("Var2").ToString
After that, I get this value for Var1:
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variable" {String}
String: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variable"
Does anyone have any idea about the hell is happening here?
Both of them has been defined at the same scope and own String as data type
Thanks in advance and regards,
Silly Sql Problem
Oct 11, 2007I will give you the simplest version of this I know if.
I have 3 tables.
Person Table
PersonID, Forename, Surname
Event Table
EventID, EventName
Involvment Table
PersonID, EventID
In this, the Person table's primary key is PersonID, the Event table's primary key is EventID and the Involvment table's primary key is PersonID, EventID.
There is also a foreign key constrant between Person.PersonID and Involvment.PersonID and a foreign key constraint between Event.EventID and Involvment.EventID.
The sql to create this would be
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person](
[PersonID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Forename] [nchar](30) NOT NULL,
[Surname] [nchar](30) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[PersonID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Event](
[EventID] [int] NOT NULL,
[EventName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Event] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EventID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Involvment](
[PersonID] [int] NOT NULL,
[EventID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Involvment] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[PersonID] ASC,
[EventID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Involvment] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Involvment_Event] FOREIGN KEY([EventID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Event] ([EventID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Involvment] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Involvment_Event]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Involvment] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Involvment_Person] FOREIGN KEY([PersonID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Person] ([PersonID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Involvment] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Involvment_Person]
As so obviously stolen from SSMS.
Now what I am having problems with is if someone is involved with more than one event, then I only want them to get listed once.
If we have the following in the Person table.
0
John
Doe
1
Jane
Doe
the following in the events table
0
This
1
That
and this in the Involvment table
0
0
0
1
1
1
then when doing any select using the Involvment to get name and event information from their respective tables, there will be two entries for John Doe. I don't want this if it is possible. Although the same event multiple times is ok in this case.
So, if someone could help with this then it will be greatly appreciated. I'm still not that great with SQL so this is a problem which has been annoying me.
Is This A Silly Way To Use SSIS?
Mar 1, 2006I have typically done any ETL style manipulations I needed to do to data stored in SQL Server in VB.NET. I would use the IMPORT?EXPORT DTS wizard to import flat files, or mabe something from ACCESS every now and then.
I am looking at a situation in my current contract where I will be pulling flat files from a mainframe and quasi relational stuff from a DB2 instance via an ODBC connection. I will be using this stuff to build a datawarehouse for a manufacturing client.
My question is this. Is there really enough good stuff in SSIS for what I will be doing to justify my learning it or if I'm comfortable doing the manipulations in VB.NET will that work just as well for my client? After all, I can schedule VB.NET apps to write results to log files and to run at specified times, etc. It just sort of always seemed to me that DTS was for people that needed to manipulate data without necessarily having to know a lot about programming per se.
I'm looking for opinions from people that know SSIS well. Is there enough meat to make cooking the SSIS meal worth the trouble?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Silly Query Question
Sep 3, 2006I have been rewritting one of our applications to use SQL Express instead of Access. I am having a small issue that I cannot seem to resolve and have searched the forum thoroughly. My code is as follows:
SearchPONo = Me.txtSearch.Text
Set rs55 = New Recordset
rs55.CursorLocation = adUseClient
'SQLSearchQuery = "SELECT * FROM POInfo WHERE PONumber LIKE '%SearchPONo%' "
rs55.Open SQLSearchQuery, cn55, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic
Goto GetRecord
GetRecord:
If rs55.RecordCount() > 0 Then
Me.DataGrid55.Enabled = True
Set DataGrid55.DataSource = rs55
I am trying to get a PONumber from a user input textbox and if I replace the %SearchPoNo% with a partial of a PO Number I can see my result. However, if I use the user input, then of course I get no results.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

In my new installation of MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, i open the DB i want, then i go to Programmability/Stored Procedures i click right button "New Stored Procedure".
I can write a stored procedure but when i save it does not record the sp in the dababase but in the file system without any relation with the database!
The database was originally created with SQL Server 2000 and now attached to a 2005 version (may be is something to do with it)
What am i doing wrong???
Thank you in advance

Apr 19, 2006I've previously used version 7 and 2000.I've recently started to learn ASP.net. I've installedVisual Web Developer 2005 Express and this includesSQLServer 2005 in the installation. The task managerand and the list of services definitely show I've gotSQLServer running on my computer.Here's the problem: how do I actually use it? I can'tfind any tools to create and access databases.I've tried installing the Enterprise Manager from 2000but this gives me an error message saying I must use the 2005tools to connect.So, is there an Enterprise Manager (or similar) for 2005?Where do I find it?

Few Simple (silly) Questions On SQL 2005 && CLR Integration.
Mar 2, 2007Hi all,
I need few clarifications from you experts regarding SQL server 2005 & CLR integration ( my questions might be simple and silly, please bear with me).
A web service should be invoked from the SQL Server , Is CLR stored procedure only way to do that ?
Does SQL Server uses the CLR only when the CLR support is enabled ? OR SQL Server itself runs on top of the CLR no matter it is enabled or not ?
What are the major disadvantages of using CLR stored procedures instead of T-SQL?
Thanks in advance,

Index Fragmentation LogicalFragmentation -how Bad Is Bad - Silly Question Alter
