Annoying BIDS Bug

Feb 24, 2008



Well all bugs are annoying, but this one is particularly annoying because it kills the BIDS session with consequent loss of all changes made since the last save.

Click on a control flow task. Position the cursor so that it changes to the 4-way pointer. Drag the task a little bit. The UI locks up, and then BIDS disappears.

I can't repro this on demand, but it has happened about 6 times in the past month. Anyone else seen this one?

Yet Another Annoying Question

Jun 18, 2006

Hey guys, I bet you didn't guess it but I'm posting here because i need help :P

What I'm trying to do is create a procdure that will run a task on the first Working day of the week.
Normally monday but then theres public holidays etc etc.

on a normal week the task runs monday, on public holiday weeks it is tuesday, and christmas even pushs it back to wednesday.

so far im using the dts designer to do this

What I have is:
a table with the last run date(not sure I even need this now)
a table with a list of public holidays(date) along with a year column

a sql statment getting the last ran date and storing it into a global variable glastrundate

a activex vbscript getting the current year, which is then stored into a globalvariable(gcurrentyear)

then gcurrentyear is then used in a select statement to get the public holidays that are in that year, which are then stored to a rowset (gpubdays)
(select pubdays from tbl_pubdays where pubyear = ?)


Now the problem, I am trying to use another axtivex script to check the current date against each row in the global gpubdays. well really I just can't get the for each loop to work, was trying to use it like:
for each row(or pubday) in gpubdays
if day = today then
task fails and will not run the rest of the procedure
end if
next

sorry if it isnt very clear, still kinda new to SQL server

thanks if you help ^_^

ps. please dont go writing all the code for me, just a nudge in the general right direction

Sysdepends Is Annoying

Mar 29, 2007

I know I shouldn't rely on sysdepends because it's got all sorts of problems with broken dependency chains, etc. But it's better than nothing for finding dependencies, short of rolling your own t-sql parser. So I use sysdepends anyway, with all its faults. I just don't rely on it. anyway, to the point, just an fyi really:

Here's something about sysdepends discovered today that annoys me. If you introduce a dependency of a proc on a table by selecting from the table in the proc, the sql parser discovers this and dutifully adds a row to sysdepends. Very well. But if you do the same select into a temp table, sysdepends doesn't pick up the dependency! Here's what I mean:


use master
go

drop database test_sysdepends
go

create database test_sysdepends
go

use test_sysdepends
go

create table MyTable01 (id int)
go

create proc MyProc01
as
select id from MyTable01
go

create proc MyProc02
as
create table #t (id int)

-- comment this next line out and the dependency is picked up.
-- but as long as we insert into the temp table, we don't pick it up... :(
insert into #t
select id from MyTable01

select id from #t
go


select
so2.name as parent
,so1.name as dependent
from sysdepends d
join sysobjects so1 on d.id=so1.id
join sysobjects so2 on d.depid=so2.id
go


results:


parent dependent
--------- ---------
MyTable01 MyProc01


i am seeing this on 2005 sp1, also on 2000 (msde)

grrr...

The Annoying WMI Configuration Error

I'm recieving the following error:

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine 'machine information' Error: 2147749896 (0x80041008).


I've researched the error and found out some people were running batch scripts to reinstall wmi, but none of them worked for me. One of them I gave up on after thirty minutes and it wasn't doing anything.

Please give some suggestions on how I can resolve this issue.

Annoying Inner Join Problem

Dec 13, 2006

Greetings SSIS friends,

I have the following problem in SSIS and it's driving me nuts!!!!!

My situation is as follows :

Data Source 1 & Data Source 2are joined using a merge join. This bit works fine.

The output of the above join is then joined to a third data source but this time, I only get 63 rows coming through instead of 77097 even though the join key in the second merge join component is the same as the first one!!!

I thought I was going mad so I decided to see if the same problem occurs if I was to do this with T-SQL. I created 3 temporary tables for each of my data sources.

I did an inner join between tmpTable_Source1 and tmpTable_Source2, I then stored the result in tempTable4

The final inner join was performed between tempTable4 and tempTable3 and the result produced 77097 and not 63 rows.



What the hell is SSIS playing at?! The merge keys I used in T-SQL is the same one I used in my SSIS package!!!!

Annoying Error Message

Apr 24, 2007

Hello,

I recently migrated from 2000 to 2005 database. On the new server, I kept getting this type of error message when there is some sort of join involved and they are not complex join either.

Error - "A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded."

ie

select A.Cookie1, A.Cookie2
into BookersLookers_Cookie
from BookersLookers_DataSet A
LEFT JOIN ActionSetup B on A.ActionID = B.ActionID
group by A.Cookie1, A.Cookie2



Is there something in the code where I could prevent this error from happening?

Any insight is appreciated,

-Lawrence

Annoying SQL Error Msg - INTRA-QUERY

Oct 30, 2005

Hi,

Pbbly most of you know this:

Intra-query parallelism caused your server command (process ID #57) to deadlock. Rerun the query without intra-query parallelism by using the query hint option (maxdop 1).

I've seen MS KnowledgeBase for that (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;837983)

But I have some probs with it:
1. I don't have permissions for this kind of queries
"USE master
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced option', '1'
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO"
2. I don't know what is an "intra-query parallelism"...

I'm attaching the query I use. The query runs OK for some parameters but gets this error msg on other parameters.

I'm using a single CPU on 2003 STD Edition.

Query:

create table #mytemp_table
(client_id int not null, commission_value int null)
insert into #mytemp_table (client_id, commission_value)
select client_id, sum(transfer_value) from users_transfers where transfer_type in (1,3) and is_paid = 1 group by client_id

select
u.name [Vendor],
u.email,
sum(cost) as Payment,
cmpd.vendor_id,
ua.name [Agent],
vd.join_date,
commission_value [paid],
allow_sign
from

left outer join codes ctd on ra.affiliation_code_show = ctd.affiliation_code_show
left outer join traffic cmp on cmp.campaign_id = ctd.campaign_id

SQL Server 2005 REAL Annoying Problem

Jan 22, 2008

I am having a problem connecting to my SQL Server 2005 database at the same time with SQL Management Studio Express and from the website at the same time.
Everytime I want to view any pages in my site that access the database, I have to close management studio and restart the server for some reason or i get a failed login error message.
Is it NOT possible to work on the database at the same time as viewing pages in the website that access the database?
This freaking error is realy starting to bug me.
I sure hope that there is a work around or something for this.

Annoying, Can't Insert Into DB For Some Reason, Even Using A Stored Procedure.

Dec 8, 2003

Hello, I am having problems inserting information into my DB.

First is the code for the insert


Sub AddCollector(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Message.InnerHtml = ""

If (Page.IsValid)

Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='MyCollection'"
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
Dim InsertCmd As String = "insert into Collectors (CollectorID, Name, EmailAddress, Password, Information) values (@CollectorID, @Name, @Email, @Password, @Information)"

myCommand = New SqlCommand(InsertCmd, myConnection)

myCommand.Connection.Open()

myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@CollectorID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
myCommand.Parameters("@CollectorID").Value = CollectorID.Text

myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Name", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
myCommand.Parameters("@Name").Value = Name.Text

myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Email", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
myCommand.Parameters("@Email").Value = EmailAddress.Text

myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Password", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
myCommand.Parameters("@Password").Value = Password.Text

myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Information", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 3000))
myCommand.Parameters("@Information").Value = Information.Text

Try
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Message.InnerHtml = "Record Added<br>"
Catch Exp As SQLException
If Exp.Number = 2627
Message.InnerHtml = "ERROR: A record already exists with the same primary key"
Else
Message.InnerHtml = "ERROR: Could not add record"
End If
Message.Style("color") = "red"
End Try

myCommand.Connection.Close()

End If

End Sub


No matter what I get a "Could not add record" message

Even substituting the insert command string with my stored procedure I would get the same thing

Stored Procedure:

CREATE Procedure CollectorAdd
(
@Name nvarchar(50),
@Email nvarchar(50),
@Password nvarchar(50),
@Information nvarchar(3000),
@CustomerID int OUTPUT
)
AS

INSERT Collectors
(
Name,
EMailAddress,
Password,
Information
)

VALUES
(
@Name,
@Email,
@Password,
@Information
)
GO


Can anyone see any problems with this code? It looks good to me but I get the same message always.

Thanks

Simple Yet Annoying! Management Studio Question

Jan 22, 2008

Originally I started using SQL Server Management Studio on the server directly. When I would right click on a view->edit I would essentially get a Alter Script of the view. Clicking on view-> design would open the query editor.

However I decided to connect to the server from my desktop instead using a local installation of SQL Server Management Studio. Now when I right click on a view I only get the modify option which opens the Query Editor and not the actual code that can be scripted. I know I can just right click->script view as->alter to to get similar results. I just can't seem to find any options to change this functionality. Does anybody know how to change this or is this a limitation of a desktop installaion?

Thanks

SQL 2005 Security - Schema &&amp; Username... Very Annoying

Jun 8, 2007

So on my local server I have a username CWI. I have my main DB: CW.

CWI is the owner of 5 schemas on CW, and everything works great.
---
I now go and create a new DataBase called CWTest. I want to now add the user CWI to the security section of CWTest (The same way I did it in 2000).
However, now I get the error message:
"The login already has an account under a different user name."

When I created my DataBase, IT had the default user, but now I want to add another user so I can create my schemas.
---
On our live servers, we will have 100-300 Databases all using the same useraccount as the "God Mode" user.

Any advice?

Complex/annoying SELECT/JOIN Query

Feb 8, 2008

I have a very confusing/complicated query that I am trying to run and getting not the results that i want.

Essentially I have three tables (t1, t2, t3) and I want to select data from two of them, but there are conditions on the data where I need fields to match across pairs of tables.
When I run my select query I am getting far too many records - it's giving me all possible combinations, instead of the proper combinations that I want.



Select t1.*, t3.field2, t3.field3
FROM, t1, t2, t3WHERE t2.field4=t3.field4 AND t1.field5=x AND t1.field6=t2.field6

I suspect there is plenty wrong with this query - where should I start correcting it?

SQL Server Mgmt Studio -- Annoying User Interface !!!

Jan 29, 2007

Hello, does anyone hate the new interface where you
manage the Table Relationships, Indexes, and etc?

I hate it a lot for these reasons.
1) Dialog window cannot be resized (really really annoying)
2) The Table-Relationship configuration dialog window is not as convenient to use as SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.


I hope this is the correct place to provide feedback and
I hope this will get modified a bit in the next service pack (or) update....

Got BIDS Working, Was There Another Way?

Sep 20, 2006

i re-installed the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE several times(4) trying to get the BIDS part to work. Each time i had the issue of it looking for the devenev.exe as others have mentioned. I gave up on a 5th install and went for the unsupported option of running vs_setup , after the toolkit.exe dumped all the install files to its temporary directory i went in there and ran it sperately...but essentially i did it the same way as this method...

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=368549&SiteID=1

while this did work, it seems to be the unsupported way.

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=665067&SiteID=1

Im not opposed to going back and doing it right, but was there ever a conclusion as to why the BIDS program sometimes doesnt install? im using 2k5 express products on this machine...

BIDS Keeps Crashing

Feb 1, 2007

All of a sudden one of my projects/packages seems to have encountered a strange problem. First I tried to remove a data viewer which caused BIDS to crash and tell me that VS has encountered a problem and needs to close. This is repeatable every time I try to remove the data viewer or the link or the transforms or the entire data flow. How do I get around this besides starting from scratch and how do I figure out why this is happening and is there some fix?

Exporting To File Using BIDS

Nov 5, 2007

Hi guys

I am trying to create a package in BIDS that reads data from a table and exports it into a flat file (.csv).
The file needs to have a row for the header and a row representing the column names as well as the data rows.
My problem is:
1.I need to add a value in the header row that is a count of all the data rows.
2. I need to add the year and period based on the year and period in the data rows. (the year and period will always be the same in the data rows)

below is an example of what I want the file to look like (it is a delimited file)

1;Varese;O027200702ACT;F1_V4;BATCH;2326;test company
CUSTOMER_ID;BU_ID;YEAR_ID;PERIOD_ID;ACTIVITY_ID;SCENARIO_ID;ACCOUNT_ID;DATA_UNIT_ID;DATA_VALUE
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;70;ZAR;.04
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;912;ZAR;6080374
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;941;ZAR;-.16

The value in bold represent the values that i want dynamically updated...

200702 represents a concatenation of the year and period

2326 represents the number of data rows

Thanks a mill!

BIDS FTP Task - ProtectionLevel

In BIDS I Had created a package to receive FTP files from remote.

I had created a FTP Connection and FileConnection (As Existing folder) to receive files.

I had Changed my ProtectionLevel to Don'tSaveSensitive (Since i had my Auth details in SQL Server tables)

In the Package Configurations i have created the Configuration details and stored in my conf table.

Now, When i was executing my package, I got this error

[FTP Task] Error: File usage type of connection "FTPReceiveTest" should be "FolderExists" for operation "Receive".

Already the connection Type was set as 'Existing Folder' only.


Any ideas of where i was missed ?
