Hi,
We are converting to sql 2005 and it appears that the spt_datatype_info table does not exist in sql 2005. I use column SQL_DATA_TYPE in code from this table.
Does anybody know what view the information that use to be in spt_datatype_info is in?
Thanks
Hi All,
I have a bunch of stored procedures (for use with
Goldmine CE 7). They work fine under SQL server 2000
but fail in SQL 2005 due to changes in the master
database schema. I am porting them over to 2005.
My current problem is a reference to:
master.dbo.spt_datatype_info.fixlen
spt_datatype_info no longer exists in 2005, so,
Is there an equivalent data field in somewhere in
SQL Server 2005?
Cheers,
Geoff

O.S. = Windows Small Business 2003
DB = SQL 2000 Server with SP3a
No windows or third party firewalls that are set up.
Problem:
When performing a Link Table in MS Access 2003 it runs into this error message "The Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the object 'zstblSetup' (the name of our table). Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and path name correctly.
But when we try to another server but at this time the SQL 2000 is patch with SP4, the link table works fine in Ms Access 2003. So we decided to use SQL Profiler to trace the cause of the problem. It so happen when sp_columns N'zstblSetup' is called no result is returned. Going through the code in sp_columns, it calls spt_datatype_info. When calling spt_datatype_info, again no record is returned. We suspect that spt_datatype_info is the culprit of the problem that's why Link Table in MS Access 2003 doesn't work.
Calling the sp_columns and spt_datatype_info into the working server that I mentioned aboved can return results. The way I understand it spt_datatype_info holds the SQL data type info.
My question is if we apply SP4 in the server that is problematic will this problem be resolved? Or are there any possible reason to solve this problem?
Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields.
It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table.
In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters.
The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%')
If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null>
My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>.
For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I'm trying to run a query on a SQL Server 2005 table which has a WHERE clause that requires a query from my SQL Compact table.
SELECT * from RemoteDB.TESTDB.dbo.Objects
WHERE Last_Updated > '2008-05-21 10:51:00'
AND Object_PARENT IN (select Object_CODE from LocalDB.PDADB.dbo.Objects)
Basicallly on a linked system, this query would find all new objects in my main database where the same objects exist in my local database. This would work just perfectly, no problems.
Now, the local database is actually on a PDA running SQL Server Compact Edition. There is currently no support for creating a linked environment. I have the option of pulling the table off the local db and pushing it to the remote db and then running the above query from within the single db and then retrieving the list of new entries and pulling them down to the local db but that is a HUGE amount of bandwidth, even if I just used the single primary key column.
Would anyone maybe have a little advice for me on how I could possibly achieve the above result on SQL Server Compact please?
Thanks in advance

Can I create invisible table in SQL Server 2005?
Access(all versions) has this option if you add Usys_TableName.

I have approximately 400 - 600 tables that need to have their filegroups changed on a new SQL 2005 installation. In 2000, I could go the table properties in Enterprise Manager and change the filegroup, but on 2005 Management Studio, I can view (but not change) the table properties.
I realize that I can create the table on the other filegroup using a new name, move my constraints and indexes to this new table, copy the data over, drop the original table, then rename the new table to the name my application is expecting. But that could take me weeks (especially with such a time-consuming process)! I don't mind the process being so slow, but I do mind it being labor intensive.
Does anyone have an idea how I can automate this process (or at least make it as easy as it was with Enterprise Manager?)

Hello everyone.
We've been using replication since a while now and I just discovered that some user are not getting all the data they should. Let me explain the way the whole thing is configured for us.
We have a few tables that are replicated using the Merge process with filtering on the data using SUSER_SNAME() function. My users are salesrep using Laptop and they are synchronizing on demand. The merge process is configured so that a row will go to only one subscription --> Each rep has their owns customers and related tables informations.
I noticed that some users do not have locally all data (from their customers) from some tables while they should. I didn't checked in details but it is possible that these users are new reps replacing other staff that left the company. Is it possible that the data they do not receive is marked as to be previous reps owner because the replication is set as "A row from this table will go to only one subscription" ? The new rep uses the same laptop, therefore the exactly same computer name, only the username changes.
Because of this, now I'm having a bunch of conflicts when replicating because we're generating some ID based on existing data when the user enter new records in some tables; since the data is not sitting locally for them, the ID generated is not the proper one and we now have two identical ID (one on the server and one locally) which cause the conflicts to occurs.
Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks.
