How WCF Can Get New Inserted SQL Data ?
dear all,

I have a WCF service which is host in a console application for the time beeing.
This service provide methods for retriving history data when request.
So far so good.

My WCF service need also to know when a particular table (ALARMS tabel ) gets updated with DELETE, INSERT, OR UPDATE. This because my client application (WinForm) need to refresh a datagrid binding to that ALARMS table.

In other words my WCF servcie would send a callback event to my client when it as been notice for a change..

But my problem is how my WCF service can be notify from an update in my SQL table ?
I have tried SQLDependency class, but I give up was not working properly...and hard to know the xact context you are runing on.
Was thinking also of having a timer whcih pool every 1s by calling my tabel store procedure and verifiy is somerow ha changed....

What to do, how to do, what is the best way and thred safe method

Thnaks for help and advise

regards

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice
I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime.

I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted.

If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted.

Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

Rows Not Being Inserted Regularly Into Database Table
Hello All,

Doe anyone know if any limitations with SQL Server Express may be causing this?

I have an application (a web service hosted on my local PC) that parses an InfoPath form and submits the data to a database (SQL Server Express). The problem I'm have is that new records are not always inserted into the database when I submit. There is an autoincrement ID field and I observed that every other record was successfully inserted (a day ago) and today I observed that the records were inserted intermittently. However, when I run the same application on a laptop, the records are inserted each time.

I posted the associated code on the Data Access forum but it occurred to me that it may be because of the nature of SQL Server Express.Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Incorrect Data Is Inserted Into The SQL Table From OLEDB Command
I have an OLEDB command in a package that inserts the data into two tables.
When I run the package, the data is getting inserted as divided by 100 of original data for derived columns.
For example: Say col1 is my input column from flat file with value 1000. I am dividing it by 100 in Derived column and then inserting into the table.
So the value 100 should be inserted into the table. But it is not so, the value 1 is getting inserted.

Two Tables involved here have referential integrity constraints between them. SQL Script for the operation I am doing looks like the one just below

INSERT INTO PrimaryKeyTable(ID,
           FirstName)
       VALUES
           (?,?)

If @@rowcount=1
BEGIN
      DECLARE @MaxID as int

      SELECT   @MaxID =max(AutoID) FROM dbo.PrimaryKeyTable --AutoIncremented column

      INSERT INTO [ForeignKeyTable]
                        (    [MaxID]
                              ,[Cost]
                              ,[MarkDownDollars]
                                 ,[VersionCode]
                           )

      VALUES(@MaxID,?,?,'act')

END

But this script did not work in OLEDB commandL

So I wrote the below script for which I am facing the problem mentioned

INSERT INTO PrimaryKeyTable(ID,
           FirstName)
       VALUES
           (?,?)
    If @@rowcount=1
BEGIN

            DECLARE @Cost AS money
            SET @Cost=?
            DECLARE @MarkDownDollars AS money
            SET @MarkDownDollars=?
            DECLARE @MaxID as int

            SELECT   @MaxID =max(AutoID) FROM dbo.PrimaryKeyTable

            INSERT INTO [ForeignKeyTable]
                        (    [MaxID]
                              ,[Cost]
                              ,[MarkDownDollars]
                                 ,[VersionCode]
                           )

      VALUES(@MaxID,@Cost,@MarkDownDollars,'act')

Using Inserted / Deleted Tables With Text / NText / Image Data Type
Hi folks,

Table:

a int,
b int,
c int,
d text

I need to change my AFTER - Trigger from this (example!):

select * into #ins from inserted

to something like

select *(without Text / nText / image -columns) into #ins from inserted.

So I tried to build a string like this: (using INFORMATIONSCHEMES)

select @sql = 'select a,b,c into #ins from inserted'
exec(@sql)

a,b,c are not of Text, nText or Image datatype.

After executing the trigger, I get an error, that inserted is unknown.

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

Thx.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error Converting Data Type Numeric To Decimal.
Hi There,

I'm using C# to get a value for a DOUBLE precision variable, called "Length", from a textBox using the following line:

Length = Convert.ToDouble( txtLength.Text )

I'm also using the following lines to prepare my stored procedure call:

arParms[9] = new SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5);
arParms[9].Value = record.Length;

My stored procedure has the following parameter definition:

@Length decimal(9,3)

My problem is that if someone types a value bigger than 999999 in the textbox he will get for sure the following error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error converting data type numeric to decimal.

I don't know how to either make sql or C# to truncate the value or catch the exception to automatically assign 0 to the parameter.

Please Help.

Converting Text Data To Ntext Data
Hi all,

My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.

I brief you about my system, I used List manager system to store the messages and distribute to all members. Right now,by design the Lyris system keep the message in the text field which mean it 's not support multilanguage directly because of unicode field. We needs to create new Db which has the data structure as same as Lyris but just one difference is keep the message in unicode format (ntext) which we need the sql script to automatically update the new record get from Lyris to new DB.

If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.

Thanks a mil, in advance.

Converting Data Types
Having a slight problem. For whatever reason I had a column setup for nvchar but the only data i have in there is dates (MM/DD/YY) and a whole bunch of NULLs. I wanted to change the datatype to datetime but it gave me an error. I thought it was due to all the NULLs, so I removed all the nulls. It still doesn't work. I get the error : Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
I don't belive its because I have the data in mm/dd/yy format. I created another table and populated it with mm/dd/yy data as nvchar (50) and then converted to datetime and it worked fine.
any ideas?

Converting SQL Server Data Into XML

My problem is that as I run this using the following command, I get "There is insufficient system memory to run this query" error.
I am using the following commnd:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "EXEC swr_cv2..sproc_BuildXMLTree" queryout "C: est.xml" -U -P -c -r -t'

Is there any way I can tune my query to fix that error?

Converting Hex Data To String
I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows:
'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications).
I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string.
set @SEQNUM = 4095
set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM)
PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc.
PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'

Any ideas? I am very new to TSQL...

Serious Converting Data Problem
Hi,

I am going to map a SQL Server 2005 table to a SQL Server 2000 table.

Here are databases specifications:

SQL Server 2000:
Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS
Table: Party
Feilds:
Serial int not null
FullName varchar(50)

SQL Server 2005:
Collation: Arabic_CI_AS
Table: CMN_tblParty
Fields:
PartyID int not null
FullName nvarchar(50)

I used SSIS to map data from 2005 to 2000 but it failed. Actually it can't convert unicode field to non unicode one. Therefore I used a Data Conversion Block and I converted the FullName from CMN_tblParty to string with CodePage 1256. But when I connect this block to OLEDB Destination block, a validation error happens which mentions that it can't map data from CodePage 1256 to a 1252 one.

This shows that the SQL Server 2005 assume the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS as 1252 (I don't know why) and if I change my data conversion block that it converts the FullName from CMN_tblParty to Codepage 1252, it gives an error in runtime which shows that it can't convert nvarchar from Codepage 1256 to a varchar - codepage 1252.

I used also the export data wizard in order it generate the package itself. But this also failed due to conversion problem.

As another solution I checked the DTS on SQL Server 2000 and it could successfully export data to SQL Server 2005 with no conversion problem.

Please let me know how I can run my conversion using SSIS since SSIS enhancements are greate and I am using much of it features in Conversion and Lookups.

Converting Data Question
I need to combine two columns and copy them to another. One column is varchar and one is decimal (3,0) and the destination column is int. The column of decimal contains only 1 and 2 digit numbers. I need to perface a 0 to the data with 1 digit before combining the two columns. If someone could guide me here, I'd appreciate it. I've been trying to use cast and convert with no success.

Converting Data From MS SQL Format
We will be getting a disk from a company that we have been working with that will have all our data on it in

MS SQL format. The problem is, that we do not have SQL anything here to be able to utilize our data!

Are there any good programs on how to convert this data to something we could use? What programs can we convert this data to?

Any insight appreciated. I'm fairly computer literate - but not with SQL at all.

Converting .sql File Data
Hi,

I have two postcode databases in .sql ready to dump into my existing database, the first sql file is 300megs and
the second one is 300k, the reason the second is so small is because it misses out the last 3 letters of the post
code, i dont need theese last 3 digits anyway.

Basically i want to convert the second file so that it is compatible for me to import it into my database and use.

the first file looks like this

INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101GY',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1476,-2.0975);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101NP',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1074);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101RQ',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1107);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101TT',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1431,-2.114);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101WX',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106AA',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.135,-2.1156);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106DE',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1377,-2.1173);

And the second file looks like this:

insert into `hwz_postcodes` values ('postc',0,0,0,0),('AB10',392900,804900,57,-2),('AB11',394500,805300,57,-2),('AB12',393300,801100,57,-2),('AB13',385600,801900,57,-2),('AB14',383600,801100,57,-2),('AB15',390000,805300,57,-2),('AB16',390600,807800,57,-2),('AB21',387900,813200,57,-2),('AB22',392800,810700,57,-2),('AB23',394700,813500,57,-2),('AB25',393200,806900,57,-2),('AB30',370900,772900,56,-2),('AB31',368100,798300,57,-2),('AB32',380800,807200,57,-2),('AB33',355200,815100,57,-2),('AB34',350800

Is there any utility out there that can do this for me? What about the co-ordinates systems, they look incompatible,
so the converter would need to be able to convert the co-ordinates aswell. It would also need to add in all those nulls.

once the file is converted i would then import it through the sql command line.

Why am I such an SQL n00b!???

Converting Data Types
I have a table where one of the columns is defined as numeric (12,0). This table already contains rows.

I want to modify the attribute so that it is numeric (12,2).

When I execute the following :-

alter table test3
alter column amt1 numeric (12,2)

I get the errors :-

Server: Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
The statement has been terminated.

Can it be done via a cast/convert statement and if so, can somehow please enlighten me?

Many thanks.

Converting Data Types (GB To Unicode)
Hi, is there a way to convert the data stored from GB to Unicode?

I'm transfering data from varchar to nvarchar. :o

To add on, I'm transfering from SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000. I'd like see if SQl provides a built in function so that I don't have manually patch the 130+ records.

I'm doing this because when I view the data on the browser, it's all garbage. I tried using <meta-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=gbk">, which was of no use.

Thanks.

Converting SQL Server 2000 Data From UCS-2 To UTF-8
Hello,

I am currently working on a JRun 3 application that lets the user input data in a Latin language such as French, English, etc. or in an Eastern or Far-Eastern language such as Arabic, Japanese, etc., into an HTML form whose character set is UTF-8. As soon as the user presses the form's Submit Button, the data get stored in a SQL Server 2000 database located on the Web server. Unfortunately, SQL Server does not support UTF-8 (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q232580&). It supports UCS-2 instead. As a result, the non-ASCII data returned by the database and displayed by my JSP scripts are garbage.

Is there a solution to this problem other than writing code to convert the database's UCS-2 characters to UTF-8 characters? If writing conversion code is the only solution, are you aware of any UCS-2-to-UTF-8 Java code available on the Web?

Many thanks.

Converting Text Dat To Ntext Data
Hi all,

My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.

If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.

Thanks a mil, in advance.

Converting Vertical Data To Horizontal
I have a table as follows
opendate (datetime) callnumber (int) closed (bit)

I want to find how many calls were opened today and of those how many are closed

I have come up with the code below but again am looking for
1. a more elegant solution
2. a way to generalise this to show the same information for x number of days

create table #holdit1
(opencount int)

create table #holdit2
(closedcount int)

insert into #holdit1
SELECT count(*) as opencount
FROM [dbo].[problog]
WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0
AND closed = 0
group by closed

insert into #holdit2
SELECT count(*) as closedcount
FROM [dbo].[problog]
WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0
AND closed = 1
group by closed

select #holdit1.opencount AS CallsOpen, #holdit2.closedcount AS CallsClosed, #holdit1.opencount + #holdit2.closedcount AS AllCalls
from #holdit1 cross join #holdit2 #holdit2

DROP TABLE #holdit1
DROP TABLE #holdit2

this gives me
CallsOpen CallsClosed AllCalls

Converting Character Data To DATETIME
For our DataWarehouse, we get several date fields from our mainframe system in a character format. When this data was loaded into SQL Server 6.5 using the CONVERT(DATETIME...) function, any dates containing 'bad' data would simply be replaced by a NULL automatically by the DBMS. We are now going to SQL 7.0, and I have found that when it hits a bad date it terminates the stored procedure, resulting with no update.

Is there a straightforward way around this? Possibly a script that will scrub the data, replacing bad data with NULLs? I'm trying to avoid writing something that will take the number of days per month and determine if it is valid.

Thanks

Michael
