I recently upgraded to sql server 2005 for developing on my local system and cant seem to find the option that automatically sets the drop procedure at the top and the usernames on the bottom of a procedure that I script as new. I used to do it in the old query analyzer so Im sure its in there somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
We are currently running a corporate client with Windows 2000 and .Net 1.1. We are running a number of SQL Server 2000 applications and are now thinking of upgrading to SQL Server 2005 as part of a data consolidation exercise. I am concerned on a number of points:
Can I connect to SQL Server 2005 using old ADO connectors? We have about 40 Excel VBA solutions, and we dont want to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 if we will be unable to connect to the data source. We cannot upgrade any new versions of MDAC or upgrade the .NET framework so this is a concern.
Do we need .NET 2.0 or Visual Studio 2005 to connect and work with SQL Server 2005? If so, this will be a problem as we cannot upgrade any client beyond .NET 1.1, and only have VS 2003 as a scripted application we can install for any development.
Has anyone have any experience of the KPI capabilities of SQL 2005? We are bordering on committing to a Business Objects BI platform, and having worked with BO Dashboard Manager and Performance Manager for 4 months (it was horrible), I am not relishing the prospect and would like to propose SQL 2005 as an alternative.
Many, many thanks

Hi pardon my ignorance but I wonder if someone could answer a few questions for me.
I am writing a program which will be used by perhaps upto 100 users at a time. The program sits on any number of PCs and loads user specific data to a given PC according to who has logged on to windows on that PC.
A number of data items loaded from the user table have to be unique as they are usernames for other systems that my program simplifies access to.
So when a user logs on to my program for the first time a row is created for them in the user table (indexed by a GUID and their unique network name). The other unique fields are left blank and the user is given an opportunity to fill these details in.
Before writing these details to the user's row in the 'users table' the program loads the whole user table down and checks that these items are unique before committing them to that user's row in the table.
The problem of course is that if between the program downloading the user table into a local datatable, checking the values are unique and then actually writing them someone else writes the same data into their row then 2 users end up with the same data - which shouldn't be allowed. i.e. 2 users can't have the same user name for the other software.
How can I solve this problem with locking? Once the user table is downloaded and in a locel datatable presumably the table is no longer locked so another user could write data to the table.
I acutally think this is going to be a pretty rare occourance but I still want to try to cover all eventualities.
I suspect the problem is the way my program is going about the checking.
Should I use an SQL insert statement like??
If exists(SELECT username from users where username=@username)
BEGIN
RAISEERROR("Username already exists")
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT etc
If so I guess this will simplify my code. Is this the correct thing to do? And then just trap the errors that arise if a duplicate does arise?
Also some more general questions.
1)I presume 2 users simultaneously looking up data from 2 different rows in a table doesn't lock the table so one search fails? I use the code below having set up a command to run a stored procedure to search for a user by their network name.
Dim lclRowRet As SqlDataReader
lclRowRet = LoadUserCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleRow)
lclRowRet.Read()
2) I presume writing data to my user table a row at a time will also not cause a lock. I create a command object with all the row values in and then do a command.executenonquery()
As a rule I close all my connections as soon as I'm done with them.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

A few collation questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, which I'll call SQLS.The default collation for SQLS is apparently SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.I wish to use a variation of this, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AIcollation, but there is no such collation returned fromfn_helpcollations(). Also, if I try to use this collation ina CREATE DATABASE stmt, SQLS yells about it.I see that there is a Latin1_General_CS_AI. What effects are therein using this collation? The SQL_* collations are SQL collations,while non-SQL_* collations are Windows collations, yes? SQLS runsonly on Windows, so am I safe in using Latin1_General_CS_AI? Whatdoes the CP1 in the SQL collation signify? Am I asking for trouble?------------------------------------Assuming that I set Latin1_General_CS_AI (or any other case-sensitivecollation) at the database level, I believe my DDL/DML for that databasealso becomes case-sensitive. How can I specify that I want ONLY my dataaccess to be case-sensitive, and not my DDL/DML? I don't want to haveto remember to type "select * from MyCamelCase" when "mycamelcase"should work.Any help appreciated.A new SQLS DBA..aj

So I am fairly new to Express and I have installed it on my development machine; much tio my chagrin it is quite difficult to import data into SQLEXPRESS. I have a 'sa' account setup and I have created a new database and table within that database, however, when I try to import data into that table by setting up a link server to excel I am having some major issues!
I ran this code first to create the linked server...
DECLARE @RC int
DECLARE @server nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @srvproduct nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @provider nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @datasrc nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @location nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @provstr nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @catalog nvarchar(128)
-- Set parameter values
SET @server = 'XLTEST_SP'
SET @srvproduct = 'Excel'
SET @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
SET @datasrc = 'c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls'
SET @provstr = 'Excel 11.0'
EXEC @RC = [master].[dbo].[sp_addlinkedserver] @server, @srvproduct, @provider, @datasrc, @location, @provstr, @catalog
Next I try to run any of the statement below and I get the errors pasted below...
SELECT * FROM Anchor_Hocking...Sheet1$
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'Anchor_Hocking'
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Sheet1$
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking".
The file is not open. I have granted full access rights to all users....I am really frustrated!
Also, how can I get SSIS on this machine with SQLEXPRESS?

First of all I would like to politely greet everybody as I'm new on that forum and new to Data Mining in fact.
To introduce myself I can say I'm a student of Computer Science and I'm trying to use Time Series algorithm for weather analysis. I know that forecasting weather is a hopeless task even for the fastest computers in the world but what I'm trying to do is a kind of aposteriori analysis of historical data to notice some dependencies or characteristic weather behavior on a specified region and perhaps make some short time predictions.
I tried Time Series Algorithm although I have some doubts about methodological justification of this choice (if You have any critical comments please share them with me). But my main questions are about the usage of the algorithm itself:
I've read the documentation and a tutorial on this page for historical predictions but I still don't know what exactly are HistoricalModelCount and HistoricalModelGap. I know that my historical predictions are bounded by a €“ HistoricalModelCount*HistoricalModelGap*, but it's a rather operational knowledge... The explanation is always clouded with an €œinternal model€? phrase. Can You point me to a document where I can find some more detailed information? (What is the form of the model? How is it built? etc.)
Periodicity Hint. How should I treat these optional values? Are they other possible periods of data? I have data about weather measurements made every six hours for thirteen years** so is it a good choice to set this parameter to {365*4,4} (The first goes for a year and the second for a day)?
This is a technical question and I'm really ashamed of myself that I bother You with it. On the time chart in a model Viewer I can see date from the last year only. Zooming out/in, clicking insanely on every pixel on the screen, did not give any result (apart of broken mouse buttons). Is is possible to browse that data in mining model viewer chart?
Thank You in advance for Your replies!
*This formula suggests how this parameters could work but I would like to know it for sure €“ don't want to make some awful mistakes in my project. :-)
**Of course I plan to reduce the amount of data but the period will stay.
The first question is how to of TimeSeries Algorithm?
Using SQL Server 2005 TimeSeries Algorithm ,I build a data mining model.But after three days,it is still training.The data has 2,200,00 rows.
So what can i do to improve the processing speed.
Thanks!
The second question is parameters in Data Mining Query Task.
Data Mining Query Task is used to get data from data mining model.In the mining model form, i choose a mining model . And in the query form,i wrote a dmx ,"select flattened top 100 predicttimeseries([Xssl],1)
from [Time Series XSSL]".Last i choose a table that is for the data from mining model.
If the "100" is variable , how can i do ?
Thanks a lot!
I want the sites for ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL SERVER 2005 interview questions.
2) Sites for SQL SERVER 2005 concepts
All:
I am writing an Internet/Extranet based (ASP.Net 2.0) web application that uses SQL server 2005 as the database. I am using forms authentication on my web application. I am also storing the connection string to SQL server in my web config file. The conn string is encrypted using DPAPI with entropy. I currently have created a SQL login account on my SQL server for use by the web application. This is the user ID I am using in my conn string. The reason for this is because all persons using the application will NOT have a windows login.
Here is my question: The login I created currently has defaulted to the "dbo" role and therefore has "dbo" rights to the database. I want to setup up this login account so that all it can do is execute stored procedures. I dont want this SQL login to be able to do anything else. In my application I am using stored procedures for ALL data access functions, via a data access layer in my application. Can someone guide me step by step as to how to setup this type of access for this SQL login.
Thanks,

I have a webpage that displays 4000 or more records in a GridView control powered by a SqlDataSource. It's very slow. I'm reading the following article on custom paging: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031506-1.aspx. This article uses an ObjectDataSource, and some functionality new to Sql Server 2005 to implement custom paging.There is a stored procedure called GetEmployeesSubestByDepartmentIDSorted that looks like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetByDepartmentIDSorted( @DepartmentID int, @sortExpression nvarchar(50), @startRowIndex int, @maximumRows int)AS IF @DepartmentID IS NULL -- If @DepartmentID is null, then we want to get all employees EXEC dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetSorted @sortExpression, @startRowIndex, @maximumRows ELSE BEGIN -- Otherwise we want to get just those employees in the specified department IF LEN(@sortExpression) = 0 SET @sortExpression = 'EmployeeID' -- Since @startRowIndex is zero-based in the data Web control, but one-based w/ROW_NUMBER(), increment SET @startRowIndex = @startRowIndex + 1 -- Issue query DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000) SET @sql = 'SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, DepartmentName FROM (SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, e.DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, d.Name as DepartmentName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ' + @sortExpression + ') as RowNum FROM Employees e INNER JOIN Departments d ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID WHERE e.DepartmentID = ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @DepartmentID) + ' ) as EmpInfo WHERE RowNum BETWEEN ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' AND (' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' + ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @maximumRows) + ') - 1' -- Execute the SQL query EXEC sp_executesql @sql ENDThe part that's bold is the part I don't understand. Can someone shed some light on this for me? What is this doing and why?Diane

View 3 Replies View Related I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).

APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.

Probably SQL newbie stuff, but...
I need to remove all records except a short list from two related tables (related by uniqueidentifiers). I'm working with CE 3.5.
First I tried a coworker's suggestion:
Code Block
delete from [SYSTEM_USER] su, SU_PERMISSION where su.SU_USER_NAME IN ('friendlyName1','friendlyName2')
CE doesn't like multiple tables in a delete.
Then I tried a join to remove the foreign key rows:
Code Blockdelete from SU_PERMISSION sp join [SYSTEM_USER] su on sp.SUP_SU_ID = su.SU_ID where su.SU_USER_NAME IN ('friendlyName1','friendlyName2')
CE doesn't like a join in a delete
Then I queried SU_PERMISSIONS to get the GUIDs associated with the usernames, and built my query (I manually did a SELECT subquery, which I know CE does not support):
Code Block
delete from SU_PERMISSION where SUP_SU_ID not in ('ea6b9b05-e1b1-b86a-e072-d6c8af80b051','0a102ce9-bca5-8df4-e062-d6c8af804072')
CE removed every row in the table, including the ones with these GUIDs.
Any way out of my situation?

Hi guys,
I have read many articles on the matter and I have probably used up all my printer's ink in doing so, however, some questions still remain.
1) What happens if I have to reboot the mirror.. security update, etc.? Obviously the session is broken during reboot, but would I have to do another backup of the principal and resync everything?
2) I know it is not best practice but at this point I have no choice, however, I wanted to get your guys feedback on having two instances of SQL2005 on my development box. One for the mirroring of the production and the second for development. The two instances would live on their own drive... not partitioned and have adequate memory and space.
What would I have to look forward with this?
3) Lastly, I am still uncertain if mirroring is approved for production. Is it?
Thanks for your help.
What is the proper syntax to return records that appear in 1 table but NOT the other table? I have 2 tables that should contain the same records(based on shipping report number), so my join will use this field. How can I only return the data where the shipping report number appears in only 1 of the tables though>?

1) I needed to grant execute on a specific procedure but when I drilled down, I found that it already had execute in the EFFECTIVE PERMISSIONS. I would like to know how to tell where it got this permission from. I did some digging and found that execute appears to have been granted to the schema itself. I didn't know you could do that. Would this result in the effective permission that I observed?
2) I am trying to audit the permissions on existing principles. In Management Studio I drilled down and found permissions under Security and under Server Properties. There are also more permissions under Database Properties and Security and still more assigned at the specific object level. Where can I go or what can I query to see ALL the permissions a principle has been granted across the entire server?
3) If I grant a principle CONTROL to a schema does that also automatically confer DDL rights to said schema or would additional privs be required to perform DDL?

I printed out several pages of documentation regarding the install of 2005. When I tried performing the installation from CD I double-click splash.hta, as indicated in "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 (Setup)". Under Install I see two options:
Server components, tools, Books Online, and samples
Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard
The documentation indicates I should be clicking on "Run the SQL Server Installation Wizard", which is not an option. If I select "Run the SQL Native Client..." it appears to be only installing the client and does not follow the remainder of the instructions. I can't find any information on Microsoft's site on how to perform an install from CD.
I'm guessing I should be using the DVD, but has anyone else noticed the "How to" documentation is a little off and have you found any other documentation that is more accurate?
Thanks, Dave
I've read and noticed SQL 2005 handles memory differently then 2000. In 2000 if I told a server it had 6GB to use, it allocated the memory. In 2005 I have one 32-bit server with 6GB of memory and one 64-bit server with 32 GB. If Target Server Memory is the amount of memory SQL Server would like to have, how does that correspond to Maximum Server Memory? Also, how is Target Server Memory determined?
32-bit
Physical Memory = 8GB
Target Server Memory = 6GB (Willing to consume)
Total Server Memory = 690MB (Currently consuming)
Minimum Server Memory = 2GB
Maximum Server Memory = 6GB
For the 32-bit server the Target Server Memory matches Maximum Server Memory
64-bit
Physical Memory = 32GB
Target Server Memory = 28GB (Willing to consume)
Total Server Memory = 397MB (Currently consuming)
Minimum Server Memory = 4GB
Maximum Server Memory = 30GB
For the 64-bit server the Target Server Memory is less then the Maximum Server Memory
Lock Pages in Memory is set for the service account. Neither server above has yet to be released to production and only the 32-bit server has any users. In 2000 when SQL Server started I could count on it using about 1.72GB of memory immediately. Seeing the servers above consume only only 690MB and 397MB has me concerned. Is this just a case of SQL Server 2005 handling memory better then 2000?
Thanks, Dave
Note: Please refer to my previous message to see the current VS2005 C# code I am using to create my database.
This database will be used for short term operations. In otherwords, a user will create the database, generate a lot of data that will be created using:
SqlBulkCopy bcp;
Then, there will be 'activity'... updates, queries, deletes, etc for a few days and then the user will at a minimum remove all of the data and at some future point in time, will recreate the data and do the process all over.
In otherwords, I am not concerned about backups or transaction logging or recovery or any of these 'normal' issues of using a SQL database.
That said, how do I use SMO to keep the LDF limited in size and as small as possible (assuming I can't turn of the tranaction log to begin with).
2nd question is...I read soething about being able to log ONLY the exection of a Bulk Copy operation. How do I specify that? This is my SQLBulkCopy code.
SqlBulkCopy bcp;
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand();
sqlCmd.Connection = m_dbFiles.conMain;
bcp = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlCmd.Connection);
bcp.DestinationTableName = "tblMyTable";
bcp.WriteToServer(datatable);
I have a database of automobiles. I have many many columns, it is blank of course until I can start filling it with information.
I will have four main rows. Yearnum, Make, Model, and VehicleStyle columns
I will use Honda Accord as an example.
Honda has made the Accord since probably the 80's
I know that if I
SELECT yearnum
FROM YearNum
ORDER BY yearnum
I am using C++ Builder too..
it will put all my years in order, in a combo box. But I believe it will also have duplicates, like for example They may have made a 1995 Honda Accord and then made a 1995 Honda accord LS which may have different wiring colors and speakers sizes than the regular accord.
Is there anyway to filter out multiple years, so I could just have the regular order of years?

I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db.

Hi,
During last year, I developed more than 200 Reports using SQL Reporting Service. It is really fantastic and in many ways it has reduced lot of work.
But still I am not able to find out solution of following issues,
1) Where to set portrait or landscape printing mode? It takes based on paper size, if 8.5 x 11 then portrait else landscape.
Now I want to set myself in report irrespective of page size then HOW TO DO IT?
2) I want to set Height, Width and Merge cells options based on Expression like many other things we do, ex. Font, Text Align, Visibility, etc€¦ HOW TO DO IT?
3) I am not able to find out option for Vertical Cell merging? Is it available or is there any trick?
4) If entire group or table can be printed within a page then it is fine but if page break occurs then I want to print Entire Group or Table on next page.
In many cases you can€™t allow page break like, Pay Slip of Salary, Purchase Order Month Wise Schedules, etc€¦
So some option should be there like €œInsert Page break if table or group is not able to fit on current page€? HOW TO DO IT?
5) Is there any way to know that there is page break in this Table or Group?
6) Can I Insert Page Break based on Expression?
Theses problems really create headache. There must be some solutions.

Hi 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,

A few service stop/start/restart questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, whichI'll call SQLS.It looks as if there are *potentially* 6 ways to start/stop SQLSServices like the engine itself, integration services, reportingservice, Agent..-SQLS Configuration Manager-SQLS Surface Area Configuration (for Services and Connections)-Mgmt Studio Local (on server)-Mgmt Studio Remote (on client)-Windows Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services-Command Prompt (ala net start MSSQLSERVER)By policy, I am /not/ Administrator on the server. But I am SysAdminrole in SQLS. I have had various levels of success starting/stoppingservices in the ways listed above. In some I get Access denied, and inothers I get no msg and it simply doesn't work.Is there some special non-Admin OS group I need to be in to start/stopservices? Is this handled differently in the different interfaceslisted above?It seems like my best success for starting/stopping the engine and Agentis in /local/ Mgmt Studio, but /not/ remote Mgmt Studio - the optionsare greyed out on a remote client. Is this by design? Is it a SQLSbug?I'm sure I'm not the only SQLS DBA who does not have Admin rights on hisserver who wants to start/stop services. Generally speaking, how isthis intended to work?Any help appreciated.Allen JantzenA freshly minted DQLS DBA

Hey all,
I'm wondering what command I could issue to see the amount of memory a named instance is using from within the instance itself. We've enabled address extensions (PAE), and task manager no longer shows the correct amount of mem being used by the process. Under perfmon, I've added the object MSSQL$INSTANCENAME:Memory and I'm looking at the Total Server Memory. I'm seeing 4 gigs, when max memory is capped at 2gigs. This must show the server memory and not the instance memory ? Is there some way to see the instance memory ?

Could not connect to server 'ServerNameSQL2005' because '' is not defined as a remote login at the server. Verify that you have specified the correct login name.
Could anyone please help me out?
(I include the reproduce steps for the first error message, followed by my resolution that generates the second error message)
======
Reproduce steps for the first error message
======
On the ComputerAInstanceA instance, run the following statement to create a database and a table:
CREATE DATABASE DatabaseA
GO
USE DatabaseA
GO
CREATE TABLE TestTable(Col1 int, Col2 varchar(50))
GO
INSERT INTO TestTable VALUES (1, 'Hello World')
GO
On the ComputerBInstanceB instance, run the following statement to create a database and a table:
CREATE DATABASE DatabaseB
GO
USE DatabaseB
GO
CREATE TABLE TestTable (Col1 int, Col2 varchar(50))
GO
On the ComputerAInstanceA instance, create a linked server that links to the ComputerBInstanceB instance. Assume the name of the linked server is LNK_ServerB.
On the ComputerBInstanceB instance, create a linked server that links to the ComputerAInstanceA instance. Assume the name of the linked server is LNK_ServerA.
On the ComputerBInstanceB instance, run the following statement:
USE DatabaseB
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertA AS
BEGIN
SELECT * from LNK_ServerA.DatabaseA.dbo.TestTable
END
GO
On the ComputerAInstanceA instance, run the following statement:
USE DatabaseA
GO
INSERT INTO TestTable
EXEC LNK_ServerB.DatabaseB.dbo.InsertA
GO
Then I receive the first error message.

On the ComputerBInstanceB instance, run the following statement:
sp_addserver 'ComputerAInstanceA'
GO
sp_serveroption 'ComputerAInstanceA', 'Data Access', 'TRUE'
GO
USE DatabaseB
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertA AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM [ComputerAInstanceA].DatabaseA.dbo.TestTable
END
GO
On the ComputerAInstanceA instance, run the following statement:
USE DatabaseA
GO
INSERT INTO TestTable
EXECUTE [ComputerBInstanceB].[DatabaseB].[dbo].[InsertA]
GO
Then I receive the second error message.
