Restrict Deletion
What would be the best practice to prevent users who didn't create a record in sql from deleting? When a record is created I have the username who created the record in one of the fields. I was thinking maybe a query?
 
Thank you in advance.

Replication Without Deletion
Hello there,

We are currently setting up out production server to the following requirements:

1. Every month, delete records that haven't been changed in the last 90 days.
2. Replicate insert statements to a backup database which will keep track of all data, and act as an archive/data warehouse.

The first step is easy, as it is just a script that checks the date of the last change on each row. However, the second step is a bit more tricky. We tried setting up replication between two test databases, but we ran into the following problem: Whenever old data has been deleted in the production database, the replication agent deletes it in the data warehouse database too.

Is it possible to override or disable this, so data is only inserted/updated, and not deleted? No applications using the database deletes records, so database integrity should not be a problem.


Thanks for your time,

Ulrik Rasmussen

Deletion Problem
It is an option to set deletion without getting logged since I have problem to delete two years historical data and would like to keep this year data on my 80MB rows. Actually I create a new table to get copy one-year data and I truncated the old table. I am wondering if there is other better way to do this task.

TIA,

Deletion Query
Ok, so I have an issue, was wondering if anybody else has any suggestions.

I have a table that is pretty large, in all regards.  It is a "message" table that holds text messages that users send to each other.

1.  Has some data fields, integers, dates, some bit columns, a message subject field (varchar(250)), and a message body field (field type = text)
2.  Table contains about 70 million records
3.  Table has 6 indexes associated to it
4.  Table has 2 views associated to it.
5.  Table has 8 foreign keys associated to it.

I need to delete, oh, about 90,000 records out of this 70 million record table.  I am able to disable the foreign keys to this table for deletion, but that does not seem to mitigate the problem.  I think the issue lies with having to update the indexes as well as the views.

When I execute the select statement to retrieve the records I need to delete, it executes pretty quickly, no problems there that I can see.

The issue comes when I try to delete the records, it takes way too long, and we know it.  We let it run for an hour and it didn't really get anywhere.  This is in a server environment, some pretty decent hardware, 8gig memory, fast SCSI drives, 8 core processors, i don't know the exact specifics, but they're not bad.

Here's a DBCC SHOWCONTIG on our table

DBCC SHOWCONTIG scanning 'message' table...
Table: 'message' (1448040590); index ID: 1, database ID: 13
TABLE level scan performed.
- Pages Scanned................................: 51602
- Extents Scanned..............................: 6486
- Extent Switches..............................: 6948
- Avg. Pages per Extent........................: 8.0
- Scan Density [Best Count:Actual Count].......: 92.83% [6451:6949]
- Logical Scan Fragmentation ..................: 0.54%
- Extent Scan Fragmentation ...................: 0.93%
- Avg. Bytes Free per Page.....................: 93.5
- Avg. Page Density (full).....................: 98.85%
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

This is from our dev environment which is but a portion of our production db- but I presume our production environment will have similar percentages (not necessarily the pages scanned)

Any suggestions on how to delete records efficiently?

How To Prevent Db Deletion
Hi

I want to try and protect myself from my own stupidity. I have a number of sql databases, but one is LIVE. It is easy to drop tables but I want to set something (e.g. a password) which will help prevent me from dropping tables on the live database.

Any help/direction here would be appreciated.

Database Deletion
While performing import actions I had a system freeze, when the system returned the sessions had been closed and the database had vanished, with the help of support we recovered the database only to find that the original project ID had a suffix attached ( Original 40/0110, New 40/0110-1 ), when I try to return it to it's original numbering convention it says it has to be a unique number which suggests to me it is not deleted but hiding in the background, can the original be recovered or is it possible to renumber the recovered database, I have searched the whole of the databases and the original is nowhere to be seen.

Deletion And Identity Reset
Obviously to delete all records from DB table is simple, however, I would like to make my whole Live DB pretty much empty.  I've copied all my data from my test DB over to my live DB (didn't mean to but I did).  I would like to remove all the data and the identity values, resetting them back at their original values.  Is there a simple way or do I have to do it the hard way.  That being going in and removing Identity, saving and then placing identity back on the DB Table.

Alert On Data Deletion
We have an employee table that contains bank details and are experiencingproblems with account numbers being erased and lost. In order to track downwhy this is happening (either due to our application code or SQLreplication) we'd like to be able to prevent certain columns from beingdeleted if they already contain some data.Is it possible to setup a check constraint to prevent our ee_acct_no columnsfrom being set to NULL or blank strings if it contains an account number(i.e a 9 digit number)? We have setup the column to allow NULL's as we don'talways know employees bank details until later, so we do need to put them onour database without bank details initially.Also, if possible, can someone suggest a stored procedure or trigger i couldcreate that would fire a user-defined error message that would email anoperator if a bank account number changed?Many thanksDan Williams.

Recovering From Transaction Log Deletion In 6.5
I was trying to relocate my transaction log to a bigger drive usingsp_movedevice but I made a mistake in the syntax of the second parameterand put only the path, not the path and the file name.Now my database is marked as "suspect" and I get an error message in my logupon database start up saying that the log file cannot be open.Is there a way to have MS SQL 6.5 "forget" all the logs of this database,create new ones and restart the database? The logs contained nothingimportant, I had truncated them an hour or so before I made my mistake. Ijust want to make sure the data are still usable.When I look at the devices with sp_helpdevice, I can see a log that existand is hopefully in pristine condition and the one that doesn't existanymore.I looked in the archives of various newsgroups but couldn't find somethingthat correspond closely to my situation. I saw something similar but withMS SQL 7.0(http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...om %26rnum%3D4)using sp_attach_db/sp_detach_db. What would be the equivalent with version6.5?Thanks!Charles--Charles-E. Nadeau Ph.Dhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/

Database Still 'exists' After Deletion

Basically, I create a database with sql, then I delete it manually(not via sql statment. This is a problem which I realise. In fact, you can't delete the database because the VS 2005 still is using it) I run the same code again,

Daily Deletion Of Records
Ladys, Gentlement, I have table that grows anywhere from 200,000 to 1,000,000 records perday. Besides that I need to keep at least 6 months historical data from this same table. The transaction log was purged after each batch when testing data monthly. I'm looking for some way of deleting just one day's data if it meets a criteria. It must remain within the 6 months period of historical data. This is what I've come up with so far"

select * FROM dbo.Temp_table WHERE datediff(day, DATE_TIME, getdate()) >= 180

If it meets this criteria I can change the select to a delete? Please Let me know what you think

Deletion Old Data In Replication Environment

The process is about 30 minutes long and themerge agent subscribers changes in retry state.Can I use these queries to make faster this process? Eventually what kind ofproblems can I have ?DELETE FROM mydb WITH (PAGLOCK) WHERE mydb.dbo.mydate Between date1 anddate2orDELETE FROM mydb WITH (ROWLOCK) WHERE mydb.dbo.mydate Between date1 anddate2Thank you very much for your support.Marco

SSIS Crash On Breakpoint Deletion
I'm having an issue with trying to delete breakpoints in my SSIS package.  I think the breakpoints were created when I added dataviewers through my process, however the breakpoints were not deleted when I removed the dataviewers.  It would then appear that my process would not halt on ANY breakpoints - orphaned or valid. 
 
Furthermore, whenever I tried deleting the breakpoints manually, my whole IDE would crash.  I got around the issue by closing the dtsx page first, then deleting the breakpoints, and reopening my dtsx. 
 
Are these valid bugs with SSIS?  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm running this against a SQL Server 2005 database using VStudio 2005 as an IDE.
 
Thanks!

Unique Columns And Logical Deletion
In tables where reporting or historical information needs to be maintained I find that logical deletion of rows is better than actually deleting the row and any FK relationships.  However when one of the columns in the table must be unique this introduces a problem because uniqueness only matters for "active" rows.  I'm hoping someone can provide some advice on how to best handle this situation.

 

Here is an example to work from.  Suppose we have a table that contains job positions.  The table contains an IDENTITY column for the PK (to avoid duplicating position names), a Name column that must be unique and an IsActive column that is set to 0 when the position has been "deleted".  This setup allows for historical reporting to properly pick up the position information even though it might no longer be used in a company.  You can substitute your own scenarios here as there are quite a few.

 

Now if the Name column is marked as a unique column then the DB will enforce integrity which is what we want.  However we will want to be able to "delete" a position but later add a new position with the same name.  One could argue that we should just "undelete" the original position but that is not often a good idea so assume "undelete" is not an option.  Given the unique constraint a new position could not be created if an existing position (active or otherwise) already existed with the same name.  We could set up the unique constraint to include the Name and IsActive columns but now we are prevented from ever deleting two positions with the same name.

 

My initial thought is to create a new UniqueName column that is unique and remove the uniqueness constraint on the Name column.  The UniqueName column is set (via a trigger) to the Name column when the position is active.  When the position is deleted the trigger changes the UniqueName to include a timestamp or something to ensure uniqueness.  This is handled by the system and not exposed to clients.

 

Any advice or alternatives on this approach (preferably with advantages and disadvantages)?  Thanks.

MS SQL Server 7: Deletion Of Child Records.
Hello All,

I have been involved in a project wherein i have to delete old records from two table and the corresponding child records from the interlinked tables.
I try to find a SQL Procedure that deletes the child records, but that procedure uses the sysforeignkeys table for recursively deleting the child records.
When i looked at my sysoreignkeys table, it was empty(no rows).
Request you all if you can provide me the SQL Procedure that can delete record in the table with the child records.

Thanks in advance

Data Deletion On MS Access Table Hangs
Hello,
I have not been able to locate information on the following problem. The first step I have in a packge (Execute SQL Command) is to delete the data from an MS Access database table. The package hangs at this step after all validation is complete. In the package, once the table data is deleted, it is repopulated in a later step. The deletion step and the repopulation step use the same connection manager.
 
There is no information in the log about an error. At the time the package ran, there was a lock file on the database with about six users connected. I'm not sure what version of Access the database was created in, but I have 2003 on my machine, and I cannot open the database.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thank you for your help!

Control If A SQL Database Exists Before Its Creation Or Deletion
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005, and I would like to understand how to create and to drop a database without errors:
Infact, if I try to create a database that already exists, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to create the database because it already exists", and if I try to drop a database that doesn't exist, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to drop the database because it doesn't esist".
Before creating or dropping a database, I should control if it exists or not...
Is there a method to do that?
I found that such control for a table is the following one (in this case, I drop the table only if it exists):

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Table1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Table1]

I tried to adapt the statement to the database case, modifying it as follows:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[Database1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsDatabase') = 1)
drop database [Database1]

but it didn't function (it was a blind attempt).
Can you suggest me a statement to do that?
Thank you very much

How To Avoid Non-published Columns Deletion On Subscriptions' Reset
Hi all!
I have been doing some testing with transactional replication. I have a table (TEST) with the following columns:

[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL,
[name] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS NULL,
[stock] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Prueba1_stock] DEFAULT ((0)),

I want the table rows to have an independent stock value for each database. So,
I made a transactional publication with updatable subscriptions, to replicate all the table columns, except the stock column.

The problem is when I reset subscriptions: the table is deleted an created again on the subscriber, so all the data stored at the stock column is lost. I tried to solve this changing the "Action if name is in use" option at the publication. I choose to keep the current object without changes, but I began having problems with the generation of the identity values at the subscriber.

Any suggestions will be welcomed

Thanks in advance ;-)

Large Amount Data Deletion Blocking Other Operations
Hi Experts:

We have several database linked via merge replications. Due to business requirements, we need to delete 5M rows in one table, we did it on one subscriber. However, the publisher kept uploading the deletion operations from the subscriber and blocked any downloading operation from publisher to subscriber. How can we acceralte the replications now as this has already operated in 2 days, and will continue 1-2 days? Is it possible to set the publisher take the downloading before uploading? How to speed up large amount data deletion operations in replication environment?

 

Thanks in advance!

Insertion And Deletion Of Records Inside A Single Stored Procedure
Hi,
I have two tables A and B. In table A i have three columns called empid, empname and empsalary where empid is an identity column. Table A has some records filled in it. Table B has the same schema except the fact that the empid is not an identity column in table B. Table B does not contain any rows initially. All other aspects remain the same as that of table A. Now i am going to delete some records in table A based on the empid. When i delete the records in table A based on empid the deleted records should be inserted into table B with the same empid. I need to accomplish these two tasks in a single stored procedure. How to do it? I need the entire code for the stored procedure. Please help me. I am trying for the past 4 days.

Query Problem: Automatically Resetting A Sequential Number List After Row Deletion
Hello!
Got a problem I hope some clever people can help me out with..

I have a web form that displays a set of records in a grid. The grid is "paged" according to a PageNum column, with a dropdown box to change pages and buttons allowing the items to be moved up or down a list within a page or moved between pages. So the backend table (simplified) looks something like this

PageNum ItemNum ItemDescription
----------- ----------- -------------------
1 1 aaaaaaa
1 2 bbbbbbb
1 3 cccccccc
2 1 ddddddd
2 2 eeeeeee
2 3 ffffffffffff
3 1 ggggggg
3 2 hhhhhhh
3 3 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The problem is when I want to delete a page - I need the page numbers to automatically resequence themselves, so for example, If I delete "Page 2" (i.e. delete rows where PageNum = 2), all items on "Page 3" become "Page 2" (and any items on "Page 4" become "Page 3" etc).

This has proved straightforward to when deleting an item from a particular page, and can resequence ItemNum thanks to a clever bit of code found on SQLteam.com:

DECLARE @intCounter int
SET @intCounter = 0
UPDATE <Item Table>
@intCounter = ItemNum = @intCounter + 1
WHERE Pagenumber = <Currently Selected Page>

However I haven't been able to adapt this to resequence the Page number, as this involves resequencing blocks of numbers. The closest I can get is:

DECLARE @intCounter int
SET @intCounter = 1
UPDATE <Itemtable>
SET @intCounter = PageNum = CASE
WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 1 THEN @intCounter + 1
WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 2 THEN @intCounter + 1
ELSE @intCounter
END

But this doesn't quite work.
Anyone got any other ideas??

Thanks
Greg

The Publisher Failed To Allocate A New Set Of Identity Ranges For The Subscription After Another Publication Deletion
Hi.

First of all, I apologize for my english

I have two publications. Some of the data are the same on the two publications. Both are configured as follow : The identity range management is set to "automatic" and the tracking-level is set to "Column-level tracking". Until there, every things works fine.

But, if i'm deleting one of the publication and if i'm deleting one of the rows that were replicated on the two publications i'm getting the following SQL Exception : "Invalid object name 'dbo.MSmerge_repl_view_1CAD32C4FF904A3CA27518B0C4BFF716_70308DE2261C4EC784C56131902E7D1C'"


If i'm watching the status of the leftover replication through the replication monitor, i get this error message :

I checked the given links but they're useless.


So I tried to reinitialize the subscription with the "use a new snapshot" option enabled without any success either. I did only obtain a new error message :

I didnt have any idea to correct this issue, so I would appreciate any help.
