Hi all,
I have a question about re-creating the sql portion on either node a or b in a clustered situation. Is it possible to do this without affecting the working node and database ? or is the best solution to make a ghosted image of the node after install is complete and if the node fails just get to a point on the affected node where you can copy the image back?
Thanks for any feedback.

Man do I struggle with Enterprise Manager as a graphical tool forbuilding views etc.Its flaky and hangs frequenlty so i have to kill it with the taskmanager and re open it.You cant debug functions ( or am I missing something)But the worst thing is that it appears to cache the results of viewsand doesnt refresh from the source.If I build a view that includes a calculated field using a customfunction, and have another view thats built on the first one, thenchange the function to produce a different result, the second viewdosnt show the new value, its shows the old value. I have to cut thesql statment from the view and then paste it back in and save it onboth views before the data is refreshed correctly.Has anyone else found this??Surely there are some better tools out there to replace EnterpriseManager for building views and SQL statements graphcally?CheersGrant
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrent set-up: three node cluster running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 with two instances of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP2.
Virtual node 1: Standard Edition, default instance, Database Engine only
Virtual node 2: Standard Edition, named instance, Database Engine, Analysis Services and Integration Services
Physical node A: Prefered node for virtual node 1
Physical node B: Failover node for both virtual node 1 and 2 (thus having two installations of Standard Edition)
Physical node C: Prefered node for virtual node 2
We started off with this set-up because there was no need for Enterprise features, and SQL 2005 supports failover clustering with two nodes in Standard Edition. Saved a bundle of cash, so everybody's happy. Now we need to run a solution on virtual node 2 that requires Enterprise features in Analysis and Integration Services, so an edition upgrade is required on virtual node 2. I have done some research and found several edition upgrade examples, but none that match the above scenario. We are running production on these machines, so I can't risk experimenting with command line options, I have to be right the first time.
Is it possible to mix two editions of SQL Server 2005 in one cluster? Can I upgrade virtual node 2 to Enterprise but leave virtual node 1 at Standard? What procedure do I have to follow to upgrade all three components of virtual node 2 to Enterprise Edition on both physical node B and C?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
I have not used log shipping before and find myself in a position where I need to reboot the secondary node and then the primary node and I don't actually need to failover.
Is there anything I need to be aware of. When rebooting the secondary node I assume the transactions will be held in the primary nodes log till the secondary comes back and just carry on once back up?
When rebooting the primary node nothing needs to be done and the log shipping will just start again once it has come back?
I read these instructions:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191545(SQL.90).aspx
But I'm not sure if I have to install SQL Server first on node 2, then add it to the cluster. Or does adding it to the cluster also install the software?
Thanks
I'm contemplating running two availability groups on a two node WSFC. The WSFC is setup with a file share witness (i.e. no shared storage). Can I safely run 1 AG on one primary node, and the other AG on the other node (as primary). Each AG would have replicas on the passive node. This would effectively allow both servers to be in use at the same time. In a failover event, I understand that both workloads would transfer to a single server - so the box needs to be sized appropriately.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are in the process of building a 3 node SQL Server Cluster (Server 2012/ SQL Server 2012), and we have configured the quorum so that all 3 nodes have a vote (no file share witness as we already have an odd number of nodes).
As I understand it, this should allow the cluster to run as long as 2 of the nodes remain online.
However, the validation report states that 2 node failures would be acceptable and, when we tested this by powering off two of the nodes, the cluster did indeed continue to run on a single node.
I configure Windows 2003 R2 and SQL 2005 two nodes Cluster. When I move cluster resource from one node to anther node it takes around 30 seconds to become online. So in that time if any query is running it stops responding.
So please suggest in this regard
I invoke xp_cmdshell proc from inside a stored procedure on a 2-node active/passive SQL 2005 SP2 Standard cluster. Depending on which server the xp_cmdshell gets executed on I need to pass different arguments in the shell command. I thought I could use host_name() function to get the runtime process server, however, I am finding that it's not behaving correctly. In one example I know my active node is server2, but the host_name() function is returning server1. The only thing that I could possible explain this is that the MSDTC cluster group is not always on the same active node as the SQL server group and in the case I am talking about the cluster groups are in this mode (differnet nodes). Does the xp_cmdshell get executed by the SQL active node or the MDTC active node? And what is the best way to find out which server is going to run my xp_cmdshell?
Thanks.
Edit:
Perhaps another by product of this is that if I run select host_name() from the Studio Management query window i get different results depending on which server I am running the Studio Management on. On server1 I get server1 and on server 2 I get server 2, all the while server2 is the active node. I need a different function that will always let me determine the correct server that'll be running the xp_cmdshell...
Edit 2: I guess I could determine the running host inside the command shell itself, but I am curious to see if i can do it (cleaner) from SQL.
This may be a stupid question, but can someone from MS SQL Server Team kind enough to confirm it, please?

Hi
I've never done this before and I have all kinds of issues conflicting in my head (search rank, noise words, injection attacks ..etc). simply i need to search several columns in a table in the database using one search text (just like the simple search in Google). if multiple words are you used then the search should search for each of them. also manage to ignore noise words and other issues.
what is the best way of doing this? I looked at FTS in SQL 2000 but didn't know how to handle all the above mentioned issues. this should be simple, right? but i have been looking all day. I guess i don't know what im looking for because i've never implemented a web search b4.

select id from payatwork..sysobjects where name like 'Employee_Profile')

I'm in the midst of planning how to build an NT box to host SQL 7.0 and was wondering if there is any advantage to segregating the RAID 5 Array (5 x 18GB drives) into numerous *logical* partitions to separate database and log files (I can't see what advantage there would be if the disks are all on the same array, but..)
If anyone has any pointers or links to recommended NT configurations for hosting SQL, I'd appreciate hearing them.
TIA,

Help Please - JMail - SQL SPs - Confirmation Email
I'm at the last stage of my current project and an totally stuck.
I'm trying to build the body of a order processing request email. For security reasons I wish to use a SP to build and send the email. (therefore no sensitive data gets passed to the client)
I have the JMail Object running properly on the server. It collects and sends the email in the normal course of the transaction from the client. Problem is that I cannot figure out how to properly build the body of the email in the SP.
I'm looking to do add the following to a single SQL SP variable to stuff in the Jmail Object to be sent. The content of the variable should look something linke the following:
-----------------------------------------
"Order placed:" = orders.date + '<cr>?'
customers.name<cr>
orders.shippingaddress<cr>
orders.billingaddress<cr>
/*loop each record where
/*customerID and orderID match passed arguments
/***loopstart***
OrderDetails.SKU <tab> Product.Productname <tab><tab> Orderdetails.Qty <tab> OrderDetails.Price<cr>
/***loopend***
Ordertotal.GrandTotal

Any help greatly appreciated.

I am working with SQL server 2000. The database is installed in my machine. Now I have got the ".ldf" and ".mdf" file pertaining to a database from someother server.
Is it possible to build the database present in the above said files in my server.
NOTE : I dont have a direct access to the remote server from where the above said files were obtained (otherwise I think the DTS utility would have come in handy).
Hello,
This will probably be trivial and basic for most, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the best way to do a SELECT statement. First, let me explain what I have:
Two tables:
Table 1:
Orders
Some of the fields:
ID
PropID
WorkOrderNum
OrderDesc
DateCompleted
Table 2:
OrderDetail
ID
OrderID
TenantName
As you probably have realized, the OrderID in my 'OrderDetail' table corresponds to the ID field in my 'Orders' table. The 'Orders' table contains the order header information, while the OrderDetail contains line items for that order - 1 line item per record.
Here is my SQL statement to retrieve an order when searching by the 'Order Description' (Orders.OrderDesc):
SELECT PropertyLocations.PropertyLocation, Orders.ID, Orders.PropID, Orders.WorkOrderNum, Orders.OrderDesc, Orders.DateCompleted FROM PropertyLocations, ORDERS WHERE PropertyLocations.ID = Orders.PropID AND OrderDesc LIKE '%lds%'
Ok, so now for the 'big' question/problem: I also need to be able to search the 'Tenant Name' field from the 'OrderDetail' table. So what is the best/most efficient way of doing that? The other stipulation about that is that there can be (and usually is) several records/line items (in the OrderDetail table, of course) that contains the same (or similar) data, but I don't want duplicates. And when I say duplicates, all I care about is retrieving a few fields (as you can see from my SQL statement) from the 'Orders' table. Another way to describe what I want is that I want all unique orders that have a 'TenantName' in the 'OrderDetail' table that matches the search criteria. My brain just isn't wanting to figure this out right now, so I was hoping someone could help me out.
thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I'm having problems building an sql stament that joins a few tables. I can seem to get my head around the structure!
I have to try and link up four different tables to try and get my result.
Here are the 4 table structures...
Web_Users----------------User_IDName
Tags_Table-----------------Tags_IDUser_IDGroup_IDTitle
Created_Groups-----------------------Group_IDGroup_Name
Tags_To_Groups------------------------Group_Link_IDGroup_IDTag_ID
Basically, this database, has four tables; One table (Web_Users) that contains a users name, and assigns a unique ID (User_ID), another table that stores a users tags they have created, and also links it to a group_ID. The created_groups table, contains group names and assigns a unique id also. And the last table, Tags_To_Groups, links tags to groups.
So this is what I'm trying to do...
I'm trying to get the Group_name field from Created_Groups table, of a tag , that belongs to a certain user. If sounds easy when I say it like that, but I've been inner joining tables all night and failing every time.
Does this make sense? Can anyone help?
Thank you
Hi there,
i have a query building question and was hoping that one of you would know the answer.
Here is what i need to do :(i am using asp.net and ado.net)
I have 1 table where I store thedata, where 5 criteria determine a unique row in this table. Now, this has recently changed as the start date was added. So there potentially can be more than one entry in the table with same 5 criteria, but different start date.
I need to retrieve the row with the latest start date (currently active). The problem arises when the users enter less than 5 criteria. In this case the results may not possess same 5 criteria. Say the user searches based on 2 criteria. Then all the rows possessing these 2 ctieria will be returned, but other 3 criteria might differ with the results set.
But, i only need the latest start date row for each row. So for example, if i searched on 2 criteria, i got back 4 rows, 2 of which possess the same 5 criteria. But between these 2 i only need to display ONE row to the user - the one with the latest date.
How do i build a query? say the table name is tbl, and criteria 1 to 5 fields are called c1 ... c5, and start date field is called start_date.
thanks in advance

During the set-up of my DB's and their tables, I was unable to setup a relationship between a table in one Database and another table in my other Database ( using the diagram ). Maybe my datastructure of multiple databases is not correct, or is their an option to set relations between multiple databases ?
PS in the future I planned to have some other databases on different servers.
The procedure below is for a 3 field wildcard search window.
It works fine if you enter a value such as cheese in @product_name.
If you enter cheese in @product_name1 or @product_name2 it returns nothing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi folks,
I'm building a DTS package which needs to mail a list of users nightly
The mailing list needs to be dynamic so I'm using the dynamic properties tab to populate the To, From etc. fields in an SMTP DTS task.
I need to construct a script which will run within the DTS package and build a mailing list file from a table of users in the connected db. The Dynamic properties task will then pull from this data file when populating the 'To' field.
The basic select statement is simple (e.g. SELECT email FROM employees WHERE role = 'mgr') however I need the output to be a single line of email addresses separated by commas (e.g. Email1,Email2,Email3....etc).
I'm a bit unsure on how to go about doing / writing this.

Ok, I have an sp that'll build an SAP feed based on parameter input (params control which type of file I want to create). I want to build 9 files in total.
I have a table set up with my parameters and output file names.
Question 1: Process from DTS
I have a DTS package which will build a file based on params and filename from table, pulled with a Dynamic Properties task. How can I iterate through my table of parmas to create the muliple files?
Question 2: Process from a stored proc
I have a stored proc, from which the interation through values is simple. How can I create and export to the text files from the stored proc? I think I may be having a mental fart on this one. I could create a text linked server dynamically, but I have not played with them much, How to I write to one (create table etc).
PS: The file data cannot include cilumn headings
