Sp_configure 'allow Updates'
Aug 22, 2006
I updated my default (only) instance of sql2k to 2005. I'm now working on fixing backward compatibility issues, among these sp_configure 'allow updates'.
According to the BOL, reconfigure will throw an error if 'allow updates' is set to 1. And updates to system tables is disallowed entirely. However, when I started my work on a script that does these things, it ran without error on the newly updated server.
This code works, and if I understand the BOL correctly, it should not:
sp_configure "Allow Updates", 1
GO
reconfigure with override <-- works without complaint
GO
update sysusers set name='283c' where uid=31 <-- works without complaint
update sysusers set name='283c' where uid=31 <-- works without complaint
go
sp_configure "Allow Updates", 0
GO
reconfigure
GO
Did I miss something in my upgrade? I used the wizard. The management tool reports my version as 8.0.760. This database was present during the upgrade. I have not restored it from backup.

I am running the following command:
exec sp_configure 'allow updates', '0'
I get:
Server: Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 169
User does not have permission to perform this action.
What's causeing this?
Thanks!

Please some help. I had visual basic express installed on my computer and it worked. After I have been watching the video about the reportviewer I wanted it in my toolbox but it was not there. I put it on the forum and I was suggested to download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. The reportvieuwer was there but it did not work. Now nothing is working anymore. I can't connect anymore to a database because off the message sp_configure etc. Also the option Create new Sql database is not availeble anymore. I'me working wth Vista. I have already removed everything en reinstalled it according microsofts visual express website but with the same result. Also when I try to install these programs I get a message:
- IIS Feature Requirement (Warning)
Messages
* IIS Feature Requirement
* Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation.

I have enabled all IIS components.

Hi,i am using vwd2005 express and sql express.i have downloaded a web application and trying to run it. But when i run this application its showing some error in the page. like this:-Server Error in '/ProfileSample' Application.
Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances.
Description: An
unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web
request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the
error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error: The
connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a
database location within the applications App_Data directory. The
provider attempted to automatically create the application services
database because the provider determined that the database does not

successfully check for existence of the application services database
and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the
web server account must have read and write access to the applications
directory. This is necessary because the web server account will
automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already

server account only requires read and write access to the applications
App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account
will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already
exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access
on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the
provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database
already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to
create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is
required because the web server accounts credentials are used when
creating the new database.Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the r But same application is running well in my friend system.I dont know whats wrong here.does anyone has a answer?Thanks.Jack

Another day in paradise. I updated to C# 2008 Express and the 2005 sql express.
Now I get the error in the Database Explorer of both 2005 and 2008 editions:
"Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances"
A search turned up this link which does address it:
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=294798&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0
Their Answer:
Open the SQL Server Management Studio Express. This is the downloadable program in the same site where you downloaded the SQL Server 2005 express used to manage SQL Server 2005 Express.
In the query editor type this text: exec sp_configure 'user instances enabled', 1.
Then type: Reconfigure.
Then restart the SQL Server database.
Not very clear to me and what I did seems to have no effect. Please advise.
I found setting using user instances in the properties window to false does correct this but causes other problems.

Hi.
I right click the (root) Solution Explorer to add an SQL object (something.mdf) but I get an error message
that "Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user_instances enabled' "
WHERE DO I WRITE THE SP_CONFIGURE CODE IN VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER ?
(I don't see anything like new query of server and the one in the SQL SERVER management studio is already done).

Hi, I've been through Books Online, Technet, MSN and the archives on this site trying to get a difinite answer on this. Everything except Technet indicates a maximum configurable value of 265003. However in Technet, it says that if you are running the enterprise edition with more than 2GB of memory that you can configure this to a much higher number (their example is 700000). Using the calculation involving memory, and based on several dozen performance tests, we would like to set our value to around 666000 (using the prime number of course). However we cannot get SQL to accept any value over the default maximum.
Is Technet wrong? Are we missing something? I cant find any reference other than in Technet on being able to use the higher number.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Can Enterprise Manager under certain circumstances do sp_configure 'show advanced options' without the knowledge of the user ? And could this action lead to locking/blocking in the actual server ?

I have a project that consists of a SQL db with an Access front end as the user interface. Here is the structure of the table on which this question is based:
Code Block
create table #IncomeAndExpenseData (
recordID nvarchar(5)NOT NULL,
itemID int NOT NULL,
itemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL,
monthitemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL
)
The itemvalue field is where the user enters his/her numbers via Access. There is an IncomeAndExpenseCodes table as well which holds item information, including the itemID and entry unit of measure. Some itemIDs have an entry unit of measure of $/mo, while others are entered in terms of $/yr, others in %/yr.
For itemvalues of itemIDs with entry units of measure that are not $/mo a stored procedure performs calculations which converts them into numbers that has a unit of measure of $/mo and updates IncomeAndExpenseData putting these numbers in the monthitemvalue field. This stored procedure is written to only calculate values for monthitemvalue fields which are null in order to avoid recalculating every single row in the table.
If the user edits the itemvalue field there is a trigger on IncomeAndExpenseData which sets the monthitemvalue to null so the stored procedure recalculates the monthitemvalue for the changed rows. However, it appears this trigger is also setting monthitemvalue to null after the stored procedure updates the IncomeAndExpenseData table with the recalculated monthitemvalues, thus wiping out the answers.
How do I write a trigger that sets the monthitemvalue to null only when the user edits the itemvalue field, not when the stored procedure puts the recalculated monthitemvalue into the IncomeAndExpenseData table?

Hi...
I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc...
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan]
@ClientId int,
@UserId int = NULL,
@HistoryId int,
@ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE
@Count int,
@Sproc varchar(50),
@Status varchar(200),
@TotalCount int
SET @Sproc = OBJECT_NAME(@@ProcId)
SET @Status = 'Updating plan information in Plan table.'
UPDATE
Statements..Plan
SET
PlanName = PlanName1,
Description = PlanName2
FROM
Statements..Plan cp
JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT
PlanId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
) c
ON cp.CPlanId = c.PlanId
WHERE
cp.ClientId = @ClientId
AND
(
IsNull(cp.PlanName,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName1,'')
OR
IsNull(cp.Description,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName2,'')
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Updated ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) in ClientPlan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No records were updated in Plan.'
END
SET @Status = 'Adding plan information to Plan table.'
INSERT INTO Statements..Plan (
ClientId,
ClientPlanId,
UserId,
PlanName,
Description
)
SELECT DISTINCT
@ClientId,
CPlanId,
@UserId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
WHERE
PlanId NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT
CPlanId
FROM
Statements..Plan
WHERE
ClientId = @ClientId
AND
ClientPlanId IS NOT NULL
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Added ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) to Plan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No information was added Plan.'
END
SET NOCOUNT OFF
So how do i do multiple inserts and updates using this stored procedure...

I have a web form that collects details on books (as an example), and in that form is a checkboxlist that displays an entry for each potential author in the database (as an example).
The user can obviously tick as many authors as they want to represent Authors of the book. The ticked entries form the entries in the BooksToAuthors table which only has BookID and AuthorID columns.
I have a number of questions:
How do I take what is in the CheckBoxList to the database and how does this relate to Stored Procedures?
Do I fill the checkbox selections into an Array? How do I get these 'many items' to a Stored Procedure that runs a transaction to put the book in and then the many rows in AuthorsToBooks.
What is being passed? Can you pass an array or something to a stored procedure?

I have 3 queries and I need to see if there is a way to combine them since they do the same thing, or if there is a more efficient way I am missing. I run the query below on Table A to find the product first for TableA.Model=1, then for Model=2 and then Model=3. The reason I split it into three queries is I need Model=1 Customers only, then Model=2 only if there isn't a Model=1 Customer, etc.
UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN TableA ON Table1.Product = TableA.Product SET Table1.Customer = [TableA].[Customer]
WHERE (((TableA.Model)="1") AND ((Table1.Customer) Is Null));

okay, so i have about 37 different updates i need to do to a table that is rather large (71million) and has no indexes. i know it's gunna table scan, and honestly, i'm not really worried about that. my question is, is there a way up squeeze all of these updates into one?
here is what i was going to do, but each one will take about an hour to run... (here are 5 of the 37 updates, but they are all basically the same concept)
update t1 set books_music='' from mailorder t1 where books_music is null
update t1 set Car_Buff='' from mailorder t1 where Car_Buff is null
update t1 set Childrens_Items_Buyers='' from mailorder t1 where Childrens_Items_Buyers is null
update t1 set Computer='' from mailorder t1 where Computer is null
update t1 set Crafts_Sewing='' from mailorder t1 where Crafts_Sewing is null
in FoxSlow (foxpro) i could just do something like this:
do while !eof()
replace books_music with '' for books_music=null
replace car_buff with '' for car_buff=null
skip
enddo

I have an SQL 2005 STD server, full install, that we use to run SQL and reporting services. When I run Microsoft Update, it shows updates for Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and MS Office 2003 SP3. The server does have MS Office 2003 web components installed, installed as part of the initial SQL server install, but not the MS Office suite software. It also has loaded the reporting services version of Visual studio 2005 that installs with reporting services, but not the entire version of Visual Studio 2005. Should I install these service pack updates? Is there any benifit?

Hi, I just started learning ASP.NET this week and have watched a mountain of videos from this website which has helped me alot However I have been stuck on a problem for 2 days now. I have created an SQL database with the Following 2 tables: USERS COMPUTERSUserid Computerid firstname Useridsecondname Manufacturer Model I have made a relationship between the 2 tables. I then created a dataset with the following query:SELECT COMPUTERS.Computer_ID, COMPUTERS.Manufacturer, COMPUTERS.Model, USERS.First_Name, USERS.Last_Name FROM COMPUTERS INNER JOIN USERS ON COMPUTERS.User_ID = USERS.User_ID I however do not get the option in my grid view when i output this data, to UPDATE. The best i have found from google is that i need to use subqueries and not innerjoins but i just cant seem to get my head around them, please help as i feel my head may just explode if i think about this or try any more ways to get this to work :D

I'm pretty new to T-SQL and have an *easy* problem, for you experts, that I can't get seem to get solved. I'd like to loop through a list of items in TABLE "Items". I then want to use that list to loop through and SUM SALES and QTY for each item from a TABLE called "Shipments". As I loop through each item, I want to UPDATE the "Items" table with the Summary data. So, logically I'd do something like this:
SELECT item_no
FROM Items
BEGIN
SELECT SUM(sales) AS Total_Sales, SUM(qty) AS Total_Qty
WHERE item_no=@item_no
UPDATE Items
SET Sales=@Total_Sales,
Qty=@Total_Qty
WHERE item_no=@item_no
END
I've tried somewhat successfully to use cursors to create my loop query, but I cannot seem to get the SELECT and UPDATE correct in the loop itself. Can anyone steer me in the right direction (or better yet, provide a solution)?
Thanks for the help,
Chris

Hi
I am using SQL Server 6.5 as my backend for a VB6 Application.
This is a OLTP kind of package that I have developed with about 600 Users.
I use BeginTran and CommitTran between my Update/Insert Queries in my VB Application.
My database has grown considerably and all of a sudden, all
the CommitTran failed. None of the records were saved.
When I stopped and restarted my SQL Server, the operation became
normal all Update/Insert queries for the same Application succeeded.
(Note that I have not stopped my Server for the last 45 days).
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
HOW DO I AVOID THIS IN FUTURE...
PLEASE HELP

If that returns something then do an update but if not then do the insert.

Hi all,
I recently inherited multiple databases for a research study. These databases use an Access front end with the tables stored on SQL Server. Currently, there is a folder for each database on a network drive. I make changes to the front ends (forms, reports etc.) in a development version of the dbs, test them, have a user test them, and then import them to the production front end.
Each user has a copy of the front end on their 'C:' drive. The previous developer put together a separate VB app that copies the changed mdb files from the network drive to their 'C:' drive. This doesn't seem like the best solution to me but I haven't come up with a better one. I would appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Monk

I have two sql 2000 server tables one is active and one is terminated (I inherited this db) and I was thinking of having the active table automatically update the terminated table when an employee is terminated. Access is at the front end and in the form of the active table theres a drop down text box that has the employement status(active, terminated, on leave...etc) so when the status turns into terminated i want the acitve table to send those records to the terminated table, ( the data in both tables are not exactly the same). looking into a trigger or stored procedure. This is the first time I've done this so I'm doing some reasearch on how to handle it. Any suggestions

well as I get further into this project of automatic updates I'm fining more and more barriers. The combo list box which indicates whether the employee is terminated or active might be a problem with sql since you cant create a Row source and a Row source type in a sql table. that combo box exsist in the properties of the form. The Row Source Type is a Value List. Shoot :(

Hello,
I am working on a web app and am at a point where I have multiple rows in my GUI that need to be sent to and saved in SQL Server when the user presses Save. We want to pass the rows to a working table and the do a begin tran, move rows from working table to permanent tables with set processing, commit tran. The debate we are having is how to get the data to the work table. We can do individual inserts to the work table 1 round trip for each row (could be 100's of rows) or concatenate all rows into 1 long (up to 8K at a time) string and make one call sending the long string and then parse it into the work table in SQL Server. Trying to consider network usage and overhead by sending many short items vs 1 long item and cpu overhead for many inserts vs string manipulation and parsing. Suggestions?
Thanks you
Jeff

Hello guys,
I am askng for any help ...am trying to get this SQL language.
I want to provide an SQL query to set all the priority to 1 for all customers that have all their orders being for a product with importance of 100.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three tables in the database: Customer, Product and Orders.
The Customer table has three column: Customer_id (PK), priority, Address.
The Orders table has three colums as well: Order_id (PK), Customer_id (FK), Product_id (FK)
The Product table has three columns as well: Product_id(PK), Product_name, Importance.
So the order table is connected to both the product and the customers table by respective foreign key.
