Documenting Large Numbers Of SPs
Jul 27, 2007
Hi All,
I have a large number of SPs that I would like to be able to document and provide this documentation to prospective clients. That is, provide them enough information without giving them the source code for the procedures.
I have found that all the parameters are in the sys.parameters table.
But I was wondering. Are the fields that are sent back out of an SP captured and recorded somewhere in the SQL Server catalog?
Is there an easy way to find out what fields are coming out of an SP?
Thanks in Advance

Hi there,
I am getting a headache trying to research what to do when you have a large number of parameters to include in a query. For example, if I have a large number of checkboxes for the user to pick criteria for a report and they select several, I'm assuming it would be bad practise to say:
WHERE Field = "a" OR Field = "b" OR Field = "c" OR Field = "d" OR Field = "e" OR.....etc etc etc
Is there a good solution for this, given that the number of parameters may vary dramatically depending on what the user selects to include in a report?!
I'm running SQL Server 2000 with an ASP front end.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Matt

We are experiencing a situation where the SRS (2000 SP2) report server will no longer render reports. In the log file, there are many instances of

What could be causing this? The reports are making queries through an OLE DB provider. There are no scheduled jobs, and the load doesn't seem that heavy.

Hello,
I have a VB.NET Windows Application with a SQL 2K5 back end.
The application creates a view which produces approximately 5 million records. I am attempting to transfer these records to a table programmatically, but every attempt causes a timeout. The name of the source server and view will change depending on the client's installation.
Using the standard SQL connection/command objects with the "INSERT INTO TABLE (SELECT * FROM VIEW)" doesn't work at all.
What is the best way to transfer these records programmatically?
Thanks,
-Torrwin

Hello,
I need to sample data in a very large table in SQL Server 2000 (a gazillion rows of Performance Monitor statitics).
I'd like to take the top 5%, for instance, based upon a column containing random numbers.
Can anyone suggest a highly efficient method of populating a column with random numbers.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to index dates to numbers with a large data set.
The first colums is index, the next is FactorsS, the next is value and the next is Date and the last is Lag.
Would it be difficult to write code that would determine the lag values. The lag value is based on the date value.
Index FactorS Value Date Lag
1 XYZ 2.3 12/31/2014 1
2 XYZ 1.4 12/30/2014 2
3 XYZ 3.3 12/29/2014 3
4 ABC 1.8 12/31/2014 1
5 ABC 2.2 12/30/2014 2
6 CBA 1.7 12/31/2014 1
7 CBA 1.8 12/30/2014 2
8 CBA 1.9 12/29/2014 3
9 CBA 2.1 12/28/2014 4

I work with a large and complex reporting system with several hundred reports: the Programmability; Stored Procedures node of the object explorer has become very difficult to navigate.
Is there any metadata that can be embedded in the stored procs that would create subfolders like the existing System Stored Procedures node in this node of the object explorer?
I suspect that the correct answers are:
Rename all your queries with a rational naming convention;
Cull the deadwood;
Assign them to categories then export them to separate databases.
Unfortunately, one of these has already been done, and the other two will break several hundred dependent processes - the recoding and retesting is neither economical nor desirable.
Still, all advice is welcome. Pitch your answers at a banking geek who does intermediate to advanced stored procedures and triggers, but isn't allowed to play with sharp things (like sys objects) - but I can probably get help from a grown-up on the sysadmin team: I have discovered that the rumours about human sacrifice are baseless, and they will perform favours in return for beer.
This is also a good time to ask: just how many stored procs and functions are you allowed in SQL Server 2005?

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

Hi folks,
I'm so sure this is a clueless newbie question, I'm embarrassed to be asking it. The short version of my question is, "What's the best path to generating printed documentation of my SQL 2005 database?" The long version follows...
I've just completed the first draft of my new SQL database design (using Management Studio). We were previously storing our data in seven (yes, seven) separate Access databases, now I have everything set up quite nicely in one SQL db, all nice and relational and with proper field sizes and naming conventions, etc. It's all beautiful, but now I need to document it.
Why wasn't it documented first and then built? Let's just say I inherited this task in mid-stream with a looming deadline. Yes, I would have liked to follow a different workflow, but it is what it is and I am where I am.
So I can go through every table and type up everything in Word, but I'm hoping there's some feature in Management Studio that will give me a head start. I read the Help file under "documenting databases," and it says you can output the metadata as and XMLA script. Sadly, it doesn't actually tell you how to do this, which is rather unhelpful.
I'd like to end up with a document that list all my tables, with field definitions, indexes, keys, and triggers. Is there an easier way to get there than going table-to-table and typing it all out?
Thanks,
Ron Moses

Is there a way to quickly document all tables and views a DTS package uses? Is there any system table/view which will hold this information?
For one of our projects we need to document these objects so that the client could remove unused objects from the db. There are 20 + DTS packages to go through.
Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all
I would like to select transforms in a package and paste them as jpeg or similar into word or powerpoint in order to allow me to create a separate set of documentation.
However, whenever I copy some transformations and jump to word, the copy buffer is empty.
Any suggestions?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

I am looking for an easy way to document the specifications of my tables, views, etc. In MS Access, one could use the "Documenter" utility to print out field names, data types, field sizes, and comments. Does SQL Server 2000 have a similar utility?
If not...
1. Why not? This would seem to be very useful.
2. What is the recommended way to document database specifications?
My ultimate goal is to develop an administration manual for our database.
Please note: I looked at the database designer diagram utility which is great for visually representing the relationships between tables. However, I am looking for a utility that will print out the field names, data types, field sizes and comments related to the fields.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

As part of a project documentation I want to list out the fields of all the tables to say Excel to plug in a description of the field and other notes.
Is there a tool in EM that would facilitate? Or, is there a utility that would work or a SQL script? Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

I have a sales report that includes dollar amount, tonnage, and profit margin among other things. They are currently sorted by tonnage sold from highest to lowest. I'd like to be able to place a number in a column counting 1 up for tonnage ranking. I'd also like to get a number ranking for sales amount ranking along with profit margin ranking. The most tonnage sold might not have been the biggest sale nor had the highest profit margin.
Does this sound like something that can be done within SSRS?
I should ad I'm runing MDX queries against a cube so I can't use T-SQL for ranking.

Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.
Cheers,

I needed to come up with an algorithm to create unique user- friendly account numbers such as AC0000000001, AC0000000002, etc...Where they increment by 1. I created a SQL function that retrieves the previous number generated, adds 1 to it, inserts the new value into the table, then returns the new value. I started thinking, what if the function is ran at the same time? What if function # 1 creates the new number, and function #2 creates a new number as well before function #1 inserts it? Is this a possible scenario? If so, how do I lock the process until the function completes to prevent this? Thanks for any help you provide.
