How would I set up a sql server database based on the following problem? I will be creating a poll based on 9 dimensions that compare two companies.
honda yamaha
performance
features
reliability
conformance
durability
serviceability
aesthetics
safety
other perceptives
The values stored would be 1 or 0 so the values can be totalled. The user will be using a web page
and will select a radio button per dimension for either honda or yamaha. Would this work?
tbl_companies
companyid int pk
companyname varchar
tbl_results
resultsid int pk
p int --performance
f int --features
r int --reliability
c int --conformance
d int --durability
s int --serviceability
a int --aesthetics
sf int --saftey
op int --other perceptives
companyid int -- fk to tbl_companies.companyid
userid int -- fk to tbl_users.userid
tlb_users
userid int pk
username varchar
userip varchar

Hi folks, i need ur guidance. I have a few DDL and DML scripts which i want to be automatically applied during MSDE setup; or an .MDF file be attached automatically. Please suggest an easier way!

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1 MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2 IN DNS: A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1 A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
We have 20 -30 normalized tables in our dartabase . Also we have 4tables where we store the calculated data fron those normalised tables.The Reason we have these 4 denormalised tables is when we try to dothe calcultion on the fly, our site becomes very slow. So We haveprecalculated and stored it in 4 tables.The Process we use to do the precalcultion, will get do thecalculation and and store it in a temp table. It will compare the thetemp with denormalised tables and insert new rows , delte the old oneans update if any changes.This process take about 20 mins - 60mins. Ittakes long time because in this process we first do the calculationregardless of changes and then do a compare to see what are changed andremove if any rows are deleted, and insert new rowsand update thechanges.Now we like to capture the rows/columns changed in the normalisedtables and do only those chages to the denormalised table , which weare hoping will reduce the processing time by atleast 50%WE have upgraded to SQL SERVER 2005.So We like to use the newtechnology for this process.I have to design the a model to capture the changes and updated onlythose changes.I have the list of normalised tables and te columns which will affectthe end results.I thought of using Triggers or OUTPUT clause to capture the changes.Please help me with the any ideas how to design the new process
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?

I know this is discussed very often, but please indulge me. I have two hardware/software configurations for the SQL servers, (1) NT4 + SQL7 on 2HDD's (C/D-drive) and, (2) NT4 + SQL7 on 3HDD's (C/D/E-drive). What will be the best configuration for SQL regarding: a. RAID, b. placement of the OS, c. placement of the data & log files(devices), d. local(hdd) backups
I`m new to SQL Server, so excuse this if it`s a well-known problem with a well-known solution.
I tried setting up SQL Server 6.5 (the box but not the docs or install claims it`s an upgrade product) but the install hung at "Setup is now installing the initial SQL Server configuration" for over 10 minutes. That is, the install kept processing something but did not appear to be coming to an end until I killed it. This happened repeatedly, and on a second server, too.
I then installed 6.0 (over 6.5!), and was able to install 6.5 over 6.0. However, I`m not able to install the 6.5 docs.
SQL Server appears to run (although I`ve not tried any DB stuff).
Any suggestions? Should I uninstall and start over?
Hello, This is the present setup. Server A --> sql server 2000 Server B --> sql server 2005
On my machine I point to an instance name of sql server 2000 to use. i.e. sqlserver2000Serverinstance1 On my local machine I have installed sql server 2000 and can use the enterprise manager. Have the Admin rights. I have setup a daily backup job on sql 2000...
On server B, I installed sql 2005. Restored the sql 2000 backup onto sql 2005. And now I have the sql 2000 database in sql server 2005.
Now I can use the sql 2005 by refering to the serverB name (Not an instance).
In Server A, the applications are using a login name (sql authentication) i.e. username, password.
Questions 1) How do I install sql 2005 on my local machine (Remember that I have sql 2000)
2) If I should run the setup for sql 2005 on local machine, then during the installation, do I give it an instance name or should this instance name be done on the server i.e. server B ?
Iam new to SQL and using sql2000. I have created a DTS which works as I want, but I am abit concerned about the way set-up.
My source is a Lotus notes view and my data is going to a sql table. Now when I click in 'EM/DTS/MyPackage' and then rhs click 'design package' and look how the source is being extract after double clicking the source db I get a mini window labelled 'Execute SQL Task Properties'. In the bottom part of this window their is a line labelled SQL Statement. In here there is a syntax for creating a table, exactly the same as my created table ie. the destination table. I really dont understand why this syntax is appearing here.

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett
I have a trade data tables (about 10) and I need to retrieve information based on input parameters. Each table has about 3-4 million rows.
The table has columns like Commodity, Unit, Quantity, Value, Month, Country
A typical query I use to select data is "Select top 10 commodity , sum(value), sum(quantity) , column4, column5, column6 from table where month=xx and country=xxxx"
The column4 = (column2)/(total sum of value) and column 5=(column3)/(total sum of quantity). Column6=column5/column4.
It takes about 3-4 minutes for the query to complete and its a lot of time specially since I need to pull this information from a webpage.
I wanted to know if there is an alternate way to pull the data from server ?
I mean can I write a script that creates tables for all the input combinations i.e month x country (12x228) and save them in table (subtable-table) with a naming convention so from the web I can just pull the table with input parameters mapped to name convention and not running any runtime queries on database ??
OR
Can I write a script that creates a html files for each table for all input combinations save them ?
Hi all, I have a large Excel file with one large table which contains data, i've built a SQL Server DataBase and i want to fill it with the data from the excel file.
Currently, I'm using the following steps to migrate millions of records from Foxpro tables to SQL Server tables:
1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables in a dummy database. All the SQL tables have the same columns as the Foxpro tables. 2. Manipulate the data in the SQL tables of the dummy database and save the manipulated data into the SQL tables of the real database where the tables may have different structure from the corresponding Foxpro tables.
I only know the following ways to import Foxpro data into SQL Server:
#1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables #2. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then Bulk Insert to SQL Server tables #3. DTS Foxpro records directly to SQL Server tables
I'm thinking whether the following choices will be better than the current way:
1st choice: Change step 1 to use #2 instead of #1 2nd choice: Change step 1 to use #3 instead of #1 3rd choice: Use #3 plus manipulating in DTS to replace step 1 and step 2
I have 3 Checkbox list panels that query the DB for the items. Panel nº 2 and 3 need to know selection on panel nº 1. Panels have multiple item selection. Multiple users may use this at the same time and I wanted to have a full separation between the application and the DB. The ASP.net application always uses Stored Procedures to access the DB. Whats the best course of action? Using a permanent 'temp' table on the SQL server? Accomplish everything on the client side?

Firstly I consider myself quite an experienced SQL Server user, andamnow using SQL Server 2005 Express for the main backend of mysoftware.My problem is thus: The boss needs to run reports; I have designedthese reports as SQL procedures, to be executed through an ASPapplication. Basic, and even medium sized (10,000+ records) reportingrun at an acceptable speed, but for anything larger, IIS timeouts andquery timeouts often cause problems.I subsequently came up with the idea that I could reduce processingtimes by up to two-thirds by writing information from eachcalculationstage to a number of tables as the reporting procedure runs..ie. stage 1, write to table xxx1,stage 2 reads table xxx1 and writes to table xxx2,stage 3 reads table xxx2 and writes to table xxx3,etc, etc, etcprocedure read final table, and outputs information.This works wonderfully, EXCEPT that two people can't run the samereport at the same time, because as one procedure creates and writesto table xxx2, the other procedure tries to drop the table, or read atable that has already been dropped....Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around thisproblem?I have thought about generating the table names dynamically using'sp_execute', but the statement I need to run is far too long(apparently there is a maximum length you can pass to it), and evenbreaking it down into sub-procedures is soooooooooooooooo timeconsuming and inefficient having to format statements as strings(replacing quotes and so on)How can I use multiple tables, or indeed process HUGE procedures,withdynamic table names, or temporary tables?All answers/suggestions/questions gratefully received.Thanks
I have an asp 2.0 app that connects to a database in another city. When I test this app through VS2005 is connects and works great. After I created a web setup project it goes bad. I ran the setup on 2 different computers, including the dev machine, both start ok and bring up the applications main menu, but when I choose a menu item that is supposed to bring up a datagrid from the sql server I get an error saying it's not a trusted connection. Any advice on where I should start looking? It's got me beat. Thanks.
I was trying to install the SQL Server on my machine and I successfully did it because the server is running. I can get into the Enterprise Manager (without password) and I'm able to create new databases. Except, I can not log into those databases with the userid that I also created with full access. It must be somekind of security issue but I can not figure out what. The message says: "Unable to connect to server local - SQL server does not exist or access denied". If I look at my SQL service manager my server name is "NEWONE" , which is also my computer name. So, I'm not sure what's wrong. I tried to log in with the 'sa' account it doesn't work either.
I have installed MSDE200A and i didn’t gave any password(setup BLANKSAPWD=1). My configuration code for the connection with msde is: <appSettings> <add key="DSN" value="Initial Catalog=dyt_mac;Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;"/> </appSettings>
