As a burgeoning SQL developer I have never really understood the need for SQL Server / Enterprise Manager to show us the whole dbo.Table name thing. What is dbo, and why do we need to know deal with it?
With that said, in my SQL 2005 Express database all of my project tables for my project management demo were named guard.pgUsers for example and not dbo.pgUsers.
How come? Why did they get named different on their own?
After being put in a position where I had to deal with a SQL problem without very little SQL knowledge I have screwed a clients main database up.
I backed up the transaction log and then deleted the log. The database is shown as suspect and won't let me restore.
Am I F&%ked?
Any help in sorting this out will be rewarded with much kudos and thanks
I try to do:
DECLARE
@ThisMinute DateTime,
@ThisDay DateTime
SET@ThisMinute = DATEADD(MINUTE, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SET@ThisDay = DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SELECT
row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number,
COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count],
MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate
FROM
dbo.ZMArticle
WHERE
PortalID=0
GROUP BY
MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate)
ORDER BY
MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
Which works fine, but when I do:
DECLARE
@ThisMinute DateTime,
@ThisDay DateTime
SET@ThisMinute = DATEADD(MINUTE, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SET@ThisDay = DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SELECT
row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number,
COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count],
MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate
FROM
dbo.ZMArticle
WHERE
PortalID=0
AND
Expiredate <> Null
GROUP BY
MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate)
ORDER BY
MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
it doesn't return anything....
How can I change that

Hi,I have a corporate database with about 60 different tables that spansmanufacturing, accounting, marketing, etc.It is possible, but unwieldy, to establish a relationship for eachtable in the entire database through critical fields like customer_idor product_id.But should I do that?My question is: Is there such a thing as too many relationships? CanI establish referential integrity via relationships with criticaltables like Accounting, but leave the rest unconnected and simply useJOINS in my business code?Thanks,HC

I'm have a stored procedure that iterates through a list of numbers and adds an item for each number (user id) some of these ids are duplicates which is fine even necessary for the first part of my query but for the last I need to ensure that no duplicates id's are passed to the stored procedure, in this case called 'spInsertForBackupNote'. My thoughts here was to do something like this:
SET @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- @Note_Buffer being some kind of array?
IF @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- If its been added to the buffer we dont execute sp
BEGIN
Do Nothing here
END
ELSE
BEGIN
EXECUTE spInsertForBackupNote @FK_UserID, @FK_NoteID
END
I know this would never work because it would always be false since I just added the same userid to the buffer that I want to add. But I think you see my problem. I know it should be an easy one but my TSQL is limited. I've posted the whole sp. Hope someone can help.

I have this field in a table.
NAME
--------------------
Johnson, Bill P.
I need to cut it up into this in another table:
LAST_NAME FIRST_NAME MID_INIT
-----------------------------------------------------
Johnson Bill P
I can't use SUBSTRING command because the length of this field will change with every row.
Is there a way I can tell it to truncate past or prior to the comma or spaces?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm working on an ASP.NET with a SQL server for database. Some of the tables, for example, contain information such as different types of Fabrics (silk, cotton, etc..) . I'd like to have this table localizable (English and French for instance). Is this possible ? Is there an equivalent of resource files in SQL server ?
Or do I have to do this manually ? (have 2 separate fields in the table for those 2 locales)
This should be so easy.
All I want to do is have a cumalative counter that counts from 1 to whatever.
any ideas how i can do this?
I have a DTS Package that I am running from a command line via .bat file. Does anyone know if there is a command to have the command window minimized or running in the background? I used the /Rep N command but that still leaves the window open until the package has executed.
Thanks!
Hi ALl,
When I open the VarDecimal option in our SAP R3P system, I found the space used is increased.
Before turn on the option:
Total space:528315.31MB
Fee Sapce:0.00MB
After trun on the option:
Total Space:733815.31MB
Free Space:119006.31MB
it is very interestion, anyone has this experience?
thanks.
in MySql:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5,10
How to do this in MicroSoftSql?
In a previous post, someone helped me with creating stored procedures, and I am grateful because I am transitioning from the Access World.
Anyway, I get an error at .ExecuteNonQuery in visual studio 2005 when I run the following code:
Dim strsql As String Dim strconn As String strsql = "sp_Roster" strconn = "server=xxxx; user=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=xxxx;" With comm .Connection = New SqlConnection(strconn) .CommandText = strsql .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With .Parameters.Add("TeacherID", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = "DawsMark@aol.com" End With With .Parameters.Add("ClassID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = classid End With With .Parameters.Add("sID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = ssID End With With .Parameters.Add("sLastName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = lastname End With With .Parameters.Add("sFirstName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = firstname End With With .Parameters.Add("sMiddleName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = middlename End With With .Parameters.Add("Student", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = fullname End With With .Parameters.Add("Password", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = password End With .Connection.Open() .ExecuteNonQuery() With comm.Connection If .State = ConnectionState.Open Then .Close() End If End With End With
The error was: Error converting data type char to int.
The stored procedure in sql server was as follows
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Roster -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@TeacherID varchar(50),@ClassID int,@sID int,@sLastName varchar(50),@sFirstName varchar(50),@sMiddleName varchar(50),@Student varchar(50),@Password varchar(50)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; -- Insert statements for procedure here INSERT INTO Roster (TeacherID, ClassID, sID, sLastName, sFirstName, sMiddleName, Student, Password) VALUES (@TeacherID, @ClassID, @sID, @sLastName, @sFirstName, @sMiddleName, @Student, @Password)ENDGO
The error also says "sqlexception was unhandled by user code.
This is strange because this code worked perfectly when connecting to Access and when I used oledb.
So how is it the code's problem? Is the stored procedure causing the error or the code. Can someone please help. thanks.

I would like to write a fun or stored procedure to do some operation. It require me to know that what category is currently belong to certain people(people_table: category_table1 to Many)However, when i use the select statement in stored proc, it return a set of result, not a scalar , therefore, i cannot use the variable to hold it. In addition, there are no array in SQL server.Question:1. Is there any way to hold the collection of result(like array)?2. Also, how to determine to use fun or stored procedure?(Since a integer is need to return by them)Thx

My thread titles need work, I know. :o
Ok, lets say I've got:
tblDocuments
id INT PK
documentName VARCHAR
tblUsers
id INT PK
userName VARCHAR
tblDocumentApprovals
userID INT
documentID INT
approvalDate DATETIME
If I want to get a list of documents, and the users who've signed them off (if any), I'd do something like:
SELECT [tblDocuments].[documentName], [tblUsers].[userName ], [tblDocumentApprovals].[approvalDate ]
FROM [tblDocuments]
LEFT JOIN [tblDocumentApprovals] ON [tblDocumentApprovals].[documentID] = [tblDocuments.id]
INNER JOIN [tblUsers] ON [tblUsers].[id] = [tblDocumentApprovals].[userID]
...which is lovely. Except - I don't want a row returned for each user that's signed it off. I want one row for each document, with a field containing a list of the people who've signed it off.
I know that it's bad design. I was reading an article only yesterday on how they're putting this kind of thing into the latest version of Access, and how it's a bit of a kludge. But it'd really, really help me.
How do you do it?
Hi,
I have seen many examples at MSDN library related to SQL Querries in all queries one thing is same the way they use tables in there queries. BUT wht is this really i am not getting this, can anyone tell me.. the code and the problem is as follows:
Code Snippet
FROM Purchasing.ProductVendor JOIN Purchasing.Vendor
ON (ProductVendor.VendorID = Vendor.VendorID)In the above code u see "Purchasing.ProductVendor", I want to ask that wht is this
Purchasing Stands for, If we suppose that purxchasing is the database name then also
normally we use database name as Purchasing.dbo.ProductVendor BUT I am not getting that
what is this,
Please if someone knows then explain it to me,
Thanks.
I have a query stack that uses local variables that I declare & set at the top. That stack takes a minute & runs the processor at 100%. If I substitute actual values in place of the variables the stack runs in 10 seconds! Why!?.. I need it to run that fast with variables!

Hi, experts here,
I found a very strange problem with the OLE DB connection in SSIS package though.
What happened was when I set the connection type to be OLE DB, whenever I declare a package variable it still gives me the error saying: please declare the scalar variable.
Once I changed the connection type to be ADO.NET, then it works fine.
Why is that? Anything wrong with OLE DB connection?
Looking forward to hearing from you for any ideas on it.
Best regards,
...we understand that perhaps some xp's might come with the product, but for sp's that we author ourselves, are they two different things in 2005, and if so, why would one be chosen over the other?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear Anyone,
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table which contains suppliers that can supply certain articles.
There can be many suppliers to each article, and therefore there is a field that tells you if this supplier is the main supplier for the article, this field is called "arthuvudavt". However, you aren't forced to use this field in the table.
As a alternative you can use priority. Each supplier has given priority where
0 means "most preferred" and any other means "less preferred"
What I want to do is to pick the right supplier for a given article in one SQL-statement regardless of if you choose to use the priority or if you choose to use the main supplier field.
Abbreviated description of the table, called AL.
SuppNo Article Arthuvudavt Prio
10101 A-10 NULL 0
10202 A-10 1 0
10303 A-10 NULL 1
10101 B-10 NULL 0
10202 B-10 NULL 0
10303 B-10 NULL 1
10101 C-10 NULL 1
10202 C-10 NULL 0
10303 C-10 NULL 1
In the above case, I'd like the statement to return supplier 10202 for article A-10 (the one that has the arthuvudavt checked), and
only one row for B-10, which one doesn't really matter, since someone has been making a fault here, this should not happen, but my SQL-statement should break because of this scenario. For C-10 supplier 10303 should be returned.
Is there any way this could be done?
The reason I ask is that I try to learn new ways of solving things, and this problem was kind'a easily solved using variables, but I was wondering if it was possible to do it without it.
Thanks in advance
Jonas
Sorry for the poor formatting, I didn't have the time to make it right.
1) I have the Beta Preview of Roger Wolter's book on the subject. Has anything major changed from the beta version to the full version (of the book as well as the product)?
2) I want to build a front-end that queues requests for processing that is ultimately done by a standalone console application. The console app knows nothing about SQL Server 2005, so the database will have to fork/execute this app, pass it arguments on its command line, and pick up the result (written to either standard output or standard error) when it finishes. Is this possible with Service Broker? If so, how?
TIA
Andrew
