I apologize ahead of time if this has been covered. I tried searching but found only the OS specific response to my question (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx).
With the coming changes to DST in 2007, is there -- or is there even a need to -- patch either SQL Server 2005 or 2000 to account for those changes?
I have the database on a GMT server and a logdate that is in GMT too. How do I convert this into CST (GMT -6) , during daylight savings (GMT-5) when passing it back to the webpage.
I can use DATEADD(hh,-6,LogDate) but how do I know if the daylight savings period has started to do DATEADD(hh,-5,LogDate). I also want to solve this at the database level without altering the front-end.
Thanks.
With the change in daylight savings time this year I was wondering if any patches needed to be applied to sql server. We are running sql server 2000.
Thanks.

I wanted to know how we can handle Time Zones and Daylight Savings Time in SQL Server 2000 as well as 2005.
Any pointers would be helpful.

This must've been convered before, but I can seem to find a solution to it. Daylight Savings Time is about to end in my area, at which time the clocks will go backwards from 1:59am to 1:00am.
I have scheduled jobs that run every minute, and I'm expecting that when the clock rolls back, they will stop running for the gained hour until the clock catches back up.
So, I need an automated way to correct this.
I was looking at the msdb..sysjobschedules table, at the next_run_time column. But it doesn't make much sense. That value will periodically update, but it is always a good bit behind the next run time reported in EM. And manually updating it seems to have no effect.
Is there a way to get a job to run or to recalculate the next run time via tsql script?
Hi all.
After DST change (US/Canada), when I run any of my reports, I get this error:
"An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more
details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name:
date "
Does anyone have or heard of a solution?
Thank you!
Anyone if SQL server has any built-in mechanism for handling Daylight savings?
Mostly for figuring out time passed between two datetime values....
Thanks in advance.
I have jobs scheduled on SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
It's my understanding that if there are jobs scheduled to run between 2:00 - 3:00 AM this Sunday when Daylight Savings time moves the time from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, these jobs will run at 3:00 AM along with any scheduled jobs to run at 3:00 AM.
Is this correct?
I was wondering if there is a simple patch for 2000 server. It seems that the only fix is to edit the registry and to use the time zone editor app. If there is a simple patch like there is for the 2003 servers i would appreciate it if anyone can show me where. I have about 80+ servers with 2000!!!
Much appreciated!
Hi,
How to prepare SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 for changes to daylight saving time in 2007?
I thought I would post this just in case you are not aware of the change of the Daylight Saving Time start and end dates in 2007. This is really an OS problem, not a SQL Server problem, but it could have a big impact on your applicaitons if you are not prepared. The first change is less that 2 months away, so it's not a bad time to give it some thought.
Here are some articles about preparing systems for the 2007 daylight savings time changes that you might find of interest.
Preparing for daylight saving time changes in 2007:
“Starting in the spring of 2007, daylight saving time (DST) start and end dates for the United States will transition to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DST dates in the United States will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November).
Microsoft will be producing an update for Microsoft products affected by the new United States daylight saving time transition dates. These updates will be released through a combination of channels including Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS), hotfixes incorporated in Knowledge Base articles, Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and the Microsoft Download Center.�

The article in the link below indicates that all Canadian provinces except for Nunavut have decided to follow the US daylight savings changes in 2007. The article contains links to news articles with official announcements of the changes.

Hi,
I have this simple SQL query which SELECTs the fields according to the criteria in WHERE clause. SELECT callingPartyNumber, originalCalledPartyNumber, finalCalledPartyNumber,
dateadd(ss, (dateTimeConnect + (60 * 60 * -5))+3600 , '01-01-1970 00:00:00') AS dateTimeConnect,
dateadd(ss, (dateTimeDisconnect + (60 * 60 * -5))+3600, '01-01-1970 00:00:00') AS dateTimeDisconnect,
CONVERT(char(8), DATEADD(second, duration, '0:00:00'), 108) AS duration
FROM Calls
WHERE
(callingPartyNumber = ISNULL(@callingPartyNumber, callingPartyNumber)) AND
(originalCalledPartyNumber = ISNULL(@originalCalledPartyNumber, originalCalledPartyNumber)) AND
(finalCalledPartyNumber = ISNULL(@finalCalledPartyNumber, finalCalledPartyNumber)) AND
(duration >= @theDuration) AND
((datetimeConnect - 14400) >= ISNULL(convert(bigint,
datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeConnect)), datetimeConnect)) AND
((dateTimeDisconnect - 14400) <= ISNULL(convert(bigint,
datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeDisconnect)), dateTimeDisconnect))
If you notice, in the SELECT, I add 3600 (1 hour) to adjust the time according to the current DayLight saving setting. Similarly, while comparing in WHERE clause, I subtract 14400 seconds (4 hours) to adjust the comparison according to EST (-5 GMT, but doing -4 GMT since daylight saving) and daylight saving.
Also, dateTimeConnect and dataTimeDisconnect fields save time in UTC seconds.
Now this application may be used by clients in different timezones. The application may be hosted on their server which would mean a different time zone. What would be the best way to make this time zone and daylight adjustment more dynamic instead of hardcoding the values.
Last weekend many of our severs had a failed job "collection_set_3_upload". The error that occured is: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_ active_ sessions_ and_requests'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'snapshots.active_sessions_and_requests'. The duplicate key value is (2824333, 2015-10-25 02:54:49.7630000 +02:00, 1)."Last weekend we happened to go from summer time to winter time. i.e. the clock passed 02:00 - 3:00 two times during this night.
I.e. there is a bug in the Data Collector component that collects data for the Management Data Warehouse: it uses local time instead of UTC. I've created a Connect item to report it to Microsoft.URL...how do you get your process running again? the job will no longer run because it will every 5 minutes keep on trying to upload the conflicting data for the 2nd 2:00 - 3:00 period. I've only found one solution: get rid of all data collected but not yet uploaded.
You do this by stopping the Collection set (in SSMS go to Object Explorer -> <the server you want to fix> -> Management -> Data Collection -> System Data Collection Sets. Right click "Query Statistics" and select "Stop Data Collection Set").Then you delete the cached results from the sql server machine's harddisk. These cached results are in files located in a Temp folder on the sql machine itself, inside the AppData folder for the service account SQL Server Agent is running under. Usually it will be something like: c:Users<sql agent service account>AppDataLocalTemp.
Inside this folder delete all files that have 'QueryActivity' in their name. You'll loose all data collected since the start of wintertime, but at least your data collection process will work again.After this you can start the Collection set again by right clicking it and select "Start Data Collection Set". Every 5 minutes the data will be summarised and uploaded into your management data warehouse.

I have a table with equipment ID, transaction ID, date of transaction. How can I write a sql so that the result is a list of
equipment with % up time during 2007.
Transaction ID: 100 is down, 200 is up. Example is below the table
Equipment ID Transaction ID Date
1 200 1/12/2007
2 100 2/12/2007
1 100 2/25/2007
3 100 3/10/2007
2 200 3/14/2007
From the table I know that equiment 2 was down for 32 days and up time % during 2007 is (365-32)/365*100
How can I write a sql in order to achieve that

We have scheduled jobs, which run every 2 minutes. If the job runs at 1:59am, the next run time is set to 2:01 am. If at 2:00am, the clock is rolled back to 1:00, my scheduled run time is still 2:01am. In this situalion, my 2 minute job will not run until 1 hour and 1 minute later, at 2:01am.
Any suggestions for reseting the next run times on the jobs to the next interval after the clock roles back to 1:00am.

I just read the release notes for SQL 2005 SP2 CTP and the 'Select All' on multi-select parameters is coming back EXACTLY as it was in the first release. If this is not the case then I apologise for the rant and request that someone clarify the situation but otherwise ....
I had to change loads of reports because it was removed in SP1, now I'll have to change them again for SP2.
Please Microsoft, stop doing this to us!
At least make it a check box option somewhere. The reasons for it's removal in SP1 still exist, but it is a nice feature to have, so just make it configurable.
I will probably have to delay installing SP2 at various customer sites because it will make my parameter lists look stupid.
This is a shame because there are some useful updates in it.

drop table pedtable
drop table truelowspeed

_______________________________________________
Let me explain what I'm trying to do.
In the first temp table "lowspeed," I'm trying to lump all crashes where a vehicle was doing between 1 and 10 mph.
In "notlowspeed," I'm setting up a table of crashes in which at least one vehicle was going over 10 mph.
By the third gyration, I'm trying to generate "truelowspeed;" which I thought would contain only crashes in which all of the criterion in the first two queries were satisfied and all of the vehicles involved in the crashes were doing between 1 and 10 mph (NO vehicles exceeding the 1 to 10 mph parameter).
The "pedtable" maneuver is simply to pull out any of these crashes in which a pedestrian was involved.
What I'm getting is a lot of crashes in which I have dummy records, several crashes in which one of the vehicles was going over 10 mph, and types of vehicles involved in the crash that should have been excluded by the criterion I specified.
Thoroughly stumped. Would be most grateful for any kind insight/advice.
I am getting a warning message in my SQL Server 6.5 Error log file .
The warning is
Lazywriter: WARNING, LRU LIST IS EMPTY (177 FREE BUFS,358 TOTAL BUFS)
Please help to resolve this problem.
I am currently reading through Itzik Ben-Gan's "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 High-Performance T-SQL using Windows Functions." In attempt to test the SUM OVER() function in SQL 2008 because that's what I've got. I do not currently have sample data (trying to generate it has become a major PITA), but I have some pseudocode.
My current code (actual production code) pulls a bunch of ITD (inception to date) contracts then calculates a certain dollar amount based on monthly changes. Not all contracts have values during a given month, so here's what I cobbled together a few months ago. (Per our finance team, these numbers ARE accurate).
WITH MonthlyVals AS
(SELECT ContractID, SUM(Col1 - (Col2 + Col3 + Col4 + Col5)) AS MyTotal
FROM MyTable
WHERE MyDate >= @ThisMonthStartDate AND MyDate <= @ThisMonthEndDate
AND StatementType IN (8,4,2)
[code]....
To test the totals, I also added a COMPUTE SUM(MyTotal) to the end of each query. (Yes, I know COMPUTE is deprecated. Just wanted a quick check.). The difference between the two bits of code was over 68k, with the SUM OVER() code coming up with a total higher than the CTE code. I know CTE code is correct for a fact. It went through extensive testing before getting put in Production. Is it the way I joined the table for the SUM OVER()? Or is it the use of PARITION BY?
Hi again,
How's everyone doing with 2005? I still feel like my heals are dragging a bit. The "knowledge" out there still seems a bit sparse. Am I right?
I'm about 1/5 the way through a BI book and decided the course will probably be necessary as well:
http://www.kimballgroup.com/html/kucourseMDWD.html
There seems to be a lot to come to grips with.
So that's all paid for.
It's been years since I've been on a course of any kind. Too busy working! What's the etiquette? Trousers and T-shirt? Tie? Sandles & three quarter lengths?
This particular course seems to cover the "general overall approach" - which I am pretty sure is a necesary part of what you need to be able to do. The book that is related to the course (which I have already bought) seems really helpful and valuable.
But I don't think it will cover the nitty gritty of SSIS - where most of the grunt work happens. They have another course for that. But I can't wait that long. You can spend your whole life just reading books!
Are all the new little things in 2005 SSIS just a little to specialised? A little too clever? Does it limit us? Or empower us? Can we use it to get the job done? Or will it be a case again of "clever workarounds" when we travel far down a road that we find out (when it's too late and we are committed) can't provide us with what we want. Is it really saving us time? Are we better off writing the scripts ourselves?

Hello:
I see some packages in the MSDB folder in Mgmt. Studio that I cannot figure out where they are coming from. The SSIS project in BIDS does not contain them, I do not see it in the Deployment folder, nor do I see it in the destination folder to which the manifest file deploys the packages. Which folder location am I missing? Each time I delete them they keep reappearing when I deploy.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm having an issue where SSIS Variables window will not come up. The most i get is a gray bar that looks like it is supposed to hold the variables.
I've tried getting it to show by:
1) Menu --> SSIS --> Variables
2) Right Click --> Variables
3) Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Variables
The same thing seems to happen for "log events" in Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Log Events.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is anyone else having this problem?!?!?!

How to come out of single user mode in sql server
I would like to attend a good sql server training conference here in USA. What would you recommend? My areas of interest are:

I googled for some excellent training or conference events but could not find one.
