MS support confusion... Help!

I am lost... we are having problems with SQL server and the MS tech keeps
telling me to execute this query, but that is all they tell me... that it is
to help tune the database... but then this query never works because the
table is undeclared, and I am not sure how the exactly want it declared or
what to pass into it or what not... and then targetGroupID is undeclared too
and I don't know what to do there.. the support has been very confuseing...
could someone please help me and tell me whats going on?
INSERT INTO @.tbTmpEffectiveDeploymentAction (
UpdateID,
DeploymentID)
SELECT
UpdateID = U.UpdateID,
DeploymentID = dbo.fnGetEffectiveDeployment(AC.DeploymentID,
TG.DeploymentID, AC.ActionID, TG.ActionID)
FROM
dbo.tbUpdate AS U
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tbDeployment AS TG ON TG.RevisionID =
dbo. fn_GetBestRevisionForEvaluateDeployment(
U.LocalUpdateID, targetGroupID)
AND TG.TargetGroupID = @.targetGroupID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tbDeployment AS AC ON AC.RevisionID =
dbo. fn_GetBestRevisionForEvaluateDeployment(
U.LocalUpdateID,
'A0A08746-4DBE-4a37-9ADF-9E7652C0B421') AND AC.TargetGroupID =
'A0A08746-4DBE-4a37-9ADF-9E7652C0B421'
WHERE dbo.fnGetEffectiveDeployment(AC.DeploymentID, TG.DeploymentID,
AC.ActionID, TG.ActionID) IS NOT NULL
they say it should return something like this, but not sure how to get it to
the point it returns something like this, and every time i ask support how
to, i get the same thing back "execute the insert query" which ive stated
many times now it doesnt work independently of itself with out somehting
declared... could someone please unconfuse me? thanks!

MS SubQuery Changes??

Has anyone seen where subqueries collapse into a sum? I have code like the following, which has been running fine for over a year:
UPDATE Reports..DataStats
SET Vendors_Cnt = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors__AllRecords),
Vendors_Audit_Cnt = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvAudit),
Vendors_Rpts_Cnt = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inv12mo),
Vendors_InvUnused = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvUnused),
Vendors_InvOne = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvOne),
Vendors_InvMulti = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvMulti),
Vendors_InvUnpaid = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvUnpaid),
Vendors_InvNewer = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvNewer),
Vendors_Inv12mo = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inv12mo),
Vendors_InvPrior = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvPrior),
Vendors_InvSkipYear = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvSkipYear),
Vendors_Known = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Known),
Vendors_Orphaned = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Orphaned),
Vendors_Active = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Active),
Vendors_Inactive = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inactive),
Vendors_Excluded = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Excluded)
WHERE (AuditName = @.AuditName)
But now it is generating overflows...and is not equivalent to (ignoring the obvious UPDATE vs. return differences for illustration):
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors__AllRecords
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvAudit
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inv12mo
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvUnused
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvOne
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvMulti
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvUnpaid
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvNewer
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inv12mo
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvPrior
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_InvSkipYear
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Known
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Orphaned
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Active
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Inactive
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vVendors_Excluded
This appears to have started around the beginning of May. Anyone else suffer after patches?

I am not sure but all SQL Server aggregate functions ignore NULLs except COUNT(*) so it maybe an unknown which is ANSI NULL is creating the overflow. Try the link below for dealing with SQL Server NULLs. Hope this helps.
http://www.akadia.com/services/dealing_with_null_values.html|||How high do those counts go? What are the datatypes for thosecolumns storing the counts? Have you exceeded the integer limitof 2,147,483,647?|||The failed SUM appears to be 44 million. The correct values should each be under 100 thousand.

What is the data type for, say, the Vendors_Audit_Cntcolumn?sql

MS SQLServer: Left/Right Join doesn't work when using aggregate functions

Hi.
I'm using MS SQLServer and I have noticed that when I use aggregate
functions on queries that use outer joins, the results varies depending
on the syntax that I use. If I use the syntax:
from table1 left join table2 on table1.a = table2.a
it doesn't seem to work properly, but if I use the syntax:
from table1, table2 where table1.a *= table2.a
it seems to work fine.
I would like to know if there's something that I'm doing wrong, if this
is some bug for which there is some solution, or if just the way it is.
In order to be more clear, I will show you some simple code that reflect
that.
Suppose we have the following 2 tables whith the corresponding data:
create table p1 ( id int primary key, s_name char(40) )
insert p1 values (1, 'Rick')
insert p1 values (2, 'Mary')
insert p1 values (3, 'Peter')
create table p2 (id int, region int, sales money, primary key (id,
region))
insert p2 values (1, 1, 2000)
insert p2 values (1, 2, 1000)
insert p2 values (1, 3, 1500)
insert p2 values (3, 1, 750)
insert p2 values (3, 2, 1000)
If I use a query without aggregate functions, both syntax return the
same result:
select p1.s_name, p2.sales
from p1 left outer join p2 on p1.id = p2.id
select p1.s_name, p2.sales
from p1, p2
where p1.id *= p2.id
Both of them return:
s_name sales
-- --
Rick 2000.00
Rick 1000.00
Rick 1500.00
Mary Null
Peter 750.00
Peter 1000.00
But if I use Sum(), the results are different:
select p1.s_name, sum(p2.sales) as sales
from p1 left outer join p2 on p1.id = p2.id
group by p1.s_name
s_name sales
-- --
Rick 4500.00
Peter 1750.00
select p1.s_name, sum(p2.sales) as sales
from p1, p2
where p1.id *= p2.id
group by p1.s_name
s_name sales
-- --
Rick 4500.00
Mary Null
Peter 1750.00
In my opinion, the correct result is the last one, but the syntax that
Microsoft recommends to use is the other one.
Can someone explain that to me?

Are you running SQL-Server 2000? Make sure you have the latest service
pack installed (SP3a).
If I run the query
select p1.s_name, sum(p2.sales) as sales
from p1 left outer join p2 on p1.id = p2.id
group by p1.s_name
it correctly returns
s_name sales
--- --
Mary NULL
Peter 1750.0000
Rick 4500.0000
(3 row(s) affected)
Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET
operation.

MS SQLServer: Left/Right Join doesn't work when using aggregate functions

MS SQLServer or Pervasive SQL 2000i

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for the help.

We are considering a new Project. This project is going to be totally
web based.

Currently my company is using Pervasive SQL 2000i for there ERP needs.
Will the existing Pervasive SQL 2000i itself serve the purpose OR
should I consider moving to MS SQL Server.

Do assist me in terms of development also i.e. Is it easier to code
with Pervasive SQL 2000i or with MS SQL Server.

Regards
SamsonHi All,

Is there anybody who could help me with the below query.

Regards,
Samson

MS Sqlserver 2005: Displaying only dbs user has a right to?

Hi;

My company just installed MS SQLServer 2005 ( see below the dotted
line ).

When a user logs into management studio all of the databases on the
server are displayed in the right hand column.

What can we do to have only the databases the user has rights to,
display?

Thanks much in advance for any info.

What you can do is to revoke the permission VIEW ANY DATABASE from public,
or DENY this permission to the users in question. Alas, the user would then only see tempdb and msdb (or was it master?), databases he owns, and
possibly his current database. He would have to issue a USE database in
the dark to get there.

This is not an uncommon question, so I filed a suggestion for an improvement
in SQL Server. You can vote on it at

MS sqljdbc.jar, v1.1, and Sql 2005 SP 2

Are there any compatibiltiy isses with these two products?

TIA,

Barkingdog

The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC v1.1 driver supports SQL Server 2005 SP2. It also supports SQL Server 2000.

BTW, as you are trying out v1.1, please know that the public beta of the v1.2 version is also available for download at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/jdbc. We've made significant improvements in various areas of the driver and would love to hear feedback on how we can continue to improve the driver.

Jimmy

Great Answer......

But I have one more quesiton. In our "drivers" directory we have the sqljdbc.jar file. BUT I can't determine its version. I think it is 1.1 but could be 1.0. How can one tell the version of this jar file?

TIA,

Barkingdog

Hi,
I am getting error 1802, CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file
names listed could not be created. Check previous errors.
I have Windows 2000 professional installed on my PC.

am getting the error above on remedy instalation...
Any idea'
ThanksI suggest you talk to the vendor of remedy. SQL Server returned more error
messages and you really need those error messages to see what the problem
is.

MS SQL2005 reporting Services + AD. Security question

Hi we run completely Windows shop. So Windows Authentication for Reporting Services is only acceptable solution. Idea is that I assign user in RS manager but they get their security check through AD using Cerberus or whatever it is. We did this setup for intranet web site which consist three machine

PC#1 Domain controller (AD)

PC#2 IIS (intranet web site)

PC#3 MS SQL server. (data)

People logon on web server newer asked for credentials on pull up data from SQL server though IIS being themselves, impersonation.

Now I have setup

PC#1 SSRS, IIS for Reports Server, MS SQL 2k5 for RS metadata etc

PC#2 Domain controller (AD)

PC#3 MS SQL2k (data)

I did same setspn procedure but when I tried to log on Report server it asked me for credentials. Moreover when I provide my logon and password it denies it, accepting only admin credentials.

I went trough few books, number article but nobody describe this scenario in spite it should be most popular solution if network based on Windows.

Any help is really appreciated

I am a way out of my league here, but I don't think it is the Report Server who prompts for credentials but IIS. If you create a web app in IIS configured for Windows authentiction and drop a simple html file in it, i bet you will be prompted for when you try to browse it. As far as what's causing it (excluding configuration issues), you may find the following article useful.|||

Teo,

Thanks a lot. I should read this article monthes ago. It is simple and nice compilation about delegation. I will try my luck with tweaking Report Server config and SPN.

I'll keep posting how I am doing, I think it will be helpfull for everybody who will decide to implement SSRS2k5 similar way

MS SQL: syntax error in create table sql

Using Management Studio (for MS SQL server 8) I had created a table, given a primary key and created a unique key.
I then had the management studio "script 'create' to file" and it saved an SQL statement (below).
I then dropped/deleted the table and tried to execute the creation statement.
It says "Incorrect syntax near '('. " and references the block connected with the "WITH" statement. (Actually both of them cause the error and removing them gets rid of it.
Is there a way to keep the information contained in the WITH statement in my table creation SQL? Is it even required info?

Code: ( sql )

USE [MyProducts]GO/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Category] Script Date: 10/12/2007 11:22:52 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOSET ANSI_PADDING ONGOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[Category]( [CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [CategoryNumber] [int] NOT NULL, [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Category] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [CategoryID] ASC ) WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON ) ON [PRIMARY], CONSTRAINT [IX_UniqueCategoryNumber] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ( [CategoryNumber] ASC ) WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON ) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY] GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFUsually you never use With statement while creating a table.

Remove this statement and create table without it then go to table definition and see it should be picked by default.

Good Luck.|||it "appeared" to create correctly without the WITH statements.
I was just bothered by the management studio auto-createing the statement then telling my there were syntax errors. The msdn help on the T-SQL for it shows WITH statements in the smae style.
All well, I'll just remove them.

Thanks.|||You can change some settings but not all.
Most of them are server level settings and can not be changed and just read only.

For example you see ON [PRIMARY] and it allows you to put data on one device and indexes on different devices or even spread tables among several devices but server should see your other devices first before you are trying to create something on them. So it is available but for people who know what they doing
You are doing grate so good luck.

Hi there,

It sounds a little weird to me, anyway, by any chance did you or anyone else might have accidently restored old database? Well, this is what i can think of at this time, please check this out. Good luck & Take care.

MS SQL, Using SP in Select

Hi,
I have an SP called mTest which reads like,
Create procedure mtest
as
Begin
Select * from tbSuppliers
end.

Now I want to use the SP in a select statement like

Select * from mTest.

But it is giving me error.
Can any one give me a solution for it. (If it is possible)

Thanks in advance

You can not call a stored procedure in a select query but insted if u just call the stored proc as
exec mtest instead of the select query and u get the same output.|||Thanks Harshal, I got the result.

Could u please tell me the difference of trusted connection and untrusted connection.

And one more Question I got while an interview is,

What all types of connections are supported by SQL?

Thanks

for more information refer to BOL under trusted connections.
From BOL:
A login ID only enables you to connect to an instance of SQL Server. Permissions within specific databases are controlled by user accounts. The database administrator maps your login account to a user account in any database you are authorized to access.
Instances of SQL Server must verify that the login ID supplied on each connection request is authorized to access the instance. This process is called authentication. SQL Server 2000 uses two types of authentication: Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication. Each has a different class of login ID.
When you connect, the SQL Server 2000 client software requests a Windows trusted connection to SQL Server 2000. Windows does not open a trusted connection unless the client has logged on successfully using a valid Windows account. The properties of a trusted connection include the Windows NT and Windows 2000 group and user accounts of the client that opened the connection. SQL Server 2000 gets the user account information from the trusted connection properties and matches them against the Windows accounts defined as valid SQL Server 2000 logins. If SQL Server 2000 finds a match, it accepts the connection. When you connect to SQL Server 2000 using Windows 2000 Authentication, your identification is your Windows NT or Windows 2000 group or user account.That is a trusted connection.|||yup it is possible to use a sproc in a select statement using open query ... or opendatasource ...
------------------------
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(SvrName, 'exec sproc')
------------------------

but i believe you will have to add a linked server to your own server.

MS SQL vs Versant DB

Is anyone familiar with Versant and how it stacks up against MS SQL as a
development technology. I have a client that currently has an application
developed on Versant and they want to investigate moving to MS SQL.
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks
--
George AdrianAs far as I can tell from a quick look at their web site, the Versant DB
does not use SQL, but instead is queried via an object API. Is that
accurate? If so, the changes to the application's data access code are
going to be massive -- you're going to have to write queries instead of
using objects. I hope that the client's code is well structured and that
they've segregated the data access and business / user interface code enough
that this won't require a complete re-write of the application.
Why do they want to switch, anyway?

thanks for your feedback, yes the database is an object database.
The client wishes to change because the development is costing too much and
the developer is unable to provide any documentation. The community for
development in this field seems to be smaller and therefore more expensive.
that is why they want to change.

MS SQL Vs ORACLE

MS SQL vs free Databases

Hello

I need to write an application which must use a database system as a backend, but i have not choosed which one to use. MySQL and PostgreSQL has all the features i want. the most important is database performance. anyone has an idea which database performs faster?

thanks in advance

Well, since you're on the MSDN forums, I'll go ahead and recommend the obvious: try SQL Express or MSDE :-)...|||

Hi,

well SQL Server Express is very powerful, fast, and has rich features. There are normally other conditions that have to be kept in mind while decideing, but if you ask people in a MSDN group, I would say go the Express Way :-)

-Jens Suessmeyer.

http://www.sqlserver2005.de

|||

If you are writing an app from scratch, I'd say you are by far best of using .NET development on a SQL Express platform. You are dealing with the latest and most efficient development platform, the most supported platform, and one that is expandable down the road. And it is cheap to get in at entry level

If you hit a home run, you want to at least have the option of scaling up and up all the way to SQL Enterprise with failover clustered servers.

I don't dream too big, do I? ;-)

|||

A major consideration for your choice of database should include not only features and performance, but the development environment. You really need to consider the OS, programming languages, and tools that you want to use. If you have developers who are proficient with Microsoft technologies (i.e., .Net) then SQL Server is an obvious choice. SQL Server and .Net provide everything you need and there is a ton of documentation, sites, books, webcasts, etc. ad nauseam.

PostgreSQL is powerful and interesting. It supports many languages (C, PL/Python, PL/Perl, PL/pgSQL), but development in the open-source environment is a radical shift from the widespread commercial support of MS or Oracle. You will need to be very proficient at coding many things from scratch, finding open-source tools and support sites, etc. Also, while learning PostgreSQL, I found that it's backup and recovery features were years behind Oracle. So, if your application will be enterprise class, you need to closely examine backup and recovery and high availability features. If your production database goes down, "who you gonna call"? (BTW, there are lists you can subscribe to to get email support from the PostgreSQL developers, but it's not "official" support like you get with MS or Oracle.) Check out www.postgresql.org as a starting point. I cannot recommend highly enough the PostgreSQL Bootcamp at www.bignerdranch.com.

I don't know Jack about MySQL.

Good luck and choose wisely!

MS SQL Views

Is there any kind of lock on a view in ms sql database?
what happens if one of my users is looking at the view and another one is adding something to the database?
Thanks.The view itself doesn't create any locks, although using the view has the potential to create locks. A view in SQL Server is simply a way to "can" a SELECT statement (with a few restrictions), so the view itself doesn't do any locking. Using the view is subject to exactly the same rules that using the SELECT statements that the view represents, and those rules are applied in exactly the same way regardless of whether you use the view or the SELECT statement.

-PatP|||Well-well-well, the usage of the view via SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE as well as when referenced in a JOIN, DOES cause additional TAB lock to be created in syslocks. And if everything was "exactly" the same while comparing SELECT and a view, - then why did "they" come up with such a silly concept? We could just do SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ... FROM tbl) a) b) c

Instead, the usage of views (while dangerous depending who's in control) provides a mechanism of abstracting data and data access settings that equally affect the view participants.

To answer the question you need to know what isolation level is being applied while SELECTing/INSERTing from/to the view. SELECT usually produces a TAB and a PAG lock, but may escalate to EXT, while INSERT results in a PAG lock that is not yet visible to the previously invoked SELECT.|||If you want to prevent the view from escalating the lock on the table, you could always try creating another incompatible lock on the table with another spid so that it is never escalated into a table lock. It will run slower, but your select should still run. You can always watch lock escalations with the query profiler, filter the object ID and know exactly when and what is causing the escalation. When you know that, then you know what you need to tune.

Cheers,
-Kilka

MS SQL using TSQL via JAVA jdbc

Hello. I am having trouble finding a descent API for executing TSQL
via JDBC. I have tried the Microsoft driver AND the JDTS driver's but
get the same syntax errors. I am hoping there is a good solution also
for executing scripts using the same. Any help is MUCH
appreciated.Thx.(asufty888@.gmail.com) writes:

Then again, if you gets the same syntax errors, maybe the problem is
with your SQL code. Have you checked that it runs OK in Query Analyzer?

I suspect you are confusing the syntax of OSQL (eg: with 'GO' to send
SQL)
with actual T-SQL. Show the JDBC code and SQL and error you get.
