I use the following function (in the BLL) to delete some records:
Public Function DeleteStep4Dashboards() As Boolean
Try
adpDashboards.DeleteStep4Dashboards()Catch ex As Exception
Return False
End Try
Return True
End Function
How can I catch the sql database errors when deleting the records goes wrong.
Hi,
Using RAISERROR from within a stored prcedure will result in a SQLException being thrown at the client side of a JDBC connection.
I am trying to provide a meaningfull error message to be shown to the end user. However, all exceptions thrown will inevitably start with : "[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]". The following questions then arise :
- Is there a way of configuring SQL Server not to display this header ?
alternatively,
- Is there another way of conveying error messages to the client through JDBC ?
Thank you for your answers,
Ben
I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..
I need to write a procedure to check if I have any gaps in my dates...
Start Date............End Date
10/6/2004............10/6/2005
10/6/2003............10/6/2004
7/10/2003..........10/6/2003
7/10/2002.............7/10/2003
What I need to do is test the End Date to the next row under the Start Date Column. (in bold to clarify) (moving upward from bottom)
sSQL011$ = "SELECT * FROM TableName " & _
"WHERE ID = '" & ID & "'"
Set rs011 = DB.OpenRecordset(sSQL011$, dbOpenDynaset)
Set Data1.Recordset = rs011
rs011.FindFirst "ID = " & ID
With rs011
do while .eof = False
if .eof then
exit sub
end if
if rs011("StartDate") 'from one record, if it is not equal to the Start
Date in the next record then
MsgBox "Gap in Dates for: " + ID
loop
end with
pseudo...
if the end date in one consecutive row is not the same as the start date in the next row then there is a date gap
thanks...
Hi,
I'm having trouble with a Script Component in a data flow task. I have code that does a SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call that throws an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Thing is, the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call is already inside a Try..Catch block. Essentially I have two questions regarding this error:
a) Why doesn't my Catch block catch the exception?
b) I've made sure that my SqlCommand object and the SqlConnection property that it uses are properly instantiated, and the query is correct. Any ideas on why it is throwing that exception?
Hope someone could help.
I must admit I dont know all that much about SQL, which is why I hope someone can show me the light. I have a script almost finished, however I have no idea how to have it trim database entries that are older than, say, 90 days. Any ideas?

How do I delete one record from one table and cascade down all related tables?

Hey all,
Here is the scenario. I'm working with two tables:
Contact1
Conthist
Contact1 contains basic contact information and conthist contains history records for those contacts. Conthist can hold many records related to a single contact1 record.
The link between the two tables is a column called accountno.
I'm trying to delete any records in conthist that have an accountno that does not exist in contact1. The queries that I've tried keep returning conthist records that do actually have a matching accountno.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
Whenever I try to delete records from a table joined to another table, like so:
DELETE [tblTransaction Detail Local] FROM [tblTransaction Detail Local], [tblTransaction Header] WHERE ([tblTransaction Detail Local].[Transaction ID] = [tblTransaction Header].[Transaction ID]) AND ([tblTransaction Header].[Computer ID] = 3)
I get the error:
Major Error 0x80040E14, Minor Error 25501
> DELETE [tblTransaction Detail Local] FROM [tblTransaction Detail Local], [tblTransaction Header] WHERE ([tblTransaction Detail Local].[Transaction ID] = [tblTransaction Header].[Transaction ID]) AND ([tblTransaction Header].[Computer ID] = 3)
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 38,Token in error = FROM ]
This is an SQL CE database, and SQL Server Management Studio. Any ideas?
I have a couple SQL tables that have been appended to daily over the last two years. There is now about 50,000,000 records in the table. Does anyone know the fastest way to delete records before a certain date to shorten these tables? Delete queries and everything else I've tried is taking way too long.
View 13 Replies View RelatedApparently, deleting 7,000,000 records from a table of about 20,000,000 is not advisable. We were able to take orders at 8:00AM, but not at 7:59.
So, what's the best way of going about deleting a large number of records? Pretty basic lookup table, no relationships with other tables, 12 or so address-type fields, 4 or 5 simple indexes. I can take it down for a weekend or night, if needed.
DTS the ones to keep to another table, drop the old and rename the new table?
Bulk copy out, truncate and bring back in?
DTS to text, truncate and import back?
Other ways?
Never worked with such a large table and need a little experienced guidance.

My Web Host does not provide administrative privilages to the SQL server I have access to. I would like to delete tens of thousands of records from two of my tables without writing to the Transaction Log. Is what I'm trying to do is delete these records quickly without utilizing any of the alotted space my web host has set aside for my transaction log (they give me 50 mb and I go way over that when I run a DELETE statement)
What is the best way to do this?

I have a problem where records in underlying tables of a dataview are being deleted (seemingly at random)
For example.
CREATE TABLE [Employee] (Id int, Name varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE [Company] (Id int, Name varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE [EmployeeCompany] (CompanyId int, EmployeeId int)
CREATE VIEW [dvEmployee]
AS
SELECT *
FROM [Employee] INNER JOIN [EmployeeCompany]
ON [Employee].[Id] = [EmployeeCompany].[EmployeeId]
CREATE TRIGGER [dvEmployeeUpdate]
ON [dbo].[dvEmployee]
INSTEAD OF UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE EmployeeCompany
SET Status = INSERTED.Status
FROM EmployeeCompany, INSERTED
WHERE EmployeeCompany.CompanyId = INSERTED.CompanyId
AND EmployeeCompany.EmployeeId = INSERTED.EmployeeId
END
Because the column [Status] is a t-sql keyword, does the fact that the trigger contains the line "SET Status = ..." without saying "SET [Status] = ..." mean that I could lose records in the EmployeeCompany table?
Reason I'm asking is we have an already designed database that is littered with columns named the same as sql keywords (almost every table has a [Status] column, and there are many [Password] columns). When using a dataview on these tables, triggers exist that aren't putting the [] around these column names (the same as my dvEmployeeUpdate trigger above), and somehow we are seemingly randomly losing records. It is very rare, and they are getting completely deleted, and it seems to be the tables that contain the keyword columns and are used in dataviews with instead of triggers that don't put [] around the column names. Nowhere in any trigger or stored procedure is there a DELETE FROM on these tables, and the software running on the database uses only the data views, and doesn't directly access the underlying tables.
I've been going through all of the code adding the [], but my question is simply whether or not anyone has heard of this causing the deletion of any records, or whether there may be something else going on that I should be looking into?
help me out on this one.
i have 2 text boxes in my page.
user enter any number in those two text boxes.
i slect that many record randomly from my main table, and put it into two another tables.

5 jjhj
now i want to delete these records which are sr.no 2,3,5 from the main table.

I have a function that opens a connection to an SQL database, issues a
SELECT command, and reads the records with an OleDbDataReader. As the
records are read, any that match certain criteria are deleted with a
DELETE command. Simplified example code is shown below:
Dim dbCmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
dbCmd.Connection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(UserDbConnString)
dbCmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [User] ORDER BY UserID"
dbCmd.Connection.Open()
Dim reader as OleDb.OleDbDataReader = dbCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
While reader.Read()
If reader("SomeColumn") = SomeCalculatedValue Then
Dim dbCmd2 As OleDb.OleDbCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
dbCmd2.Connection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(UserDbConnString)
dbCmd2.CommandText = "DELETE FROM [User] WHERE UserID = " + reader("UserID")
dbCmd2.Connection.Open()
dbCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbCmd2.Connection.Close()
End If
End While
reader.Close()
This code worked well with an MS Access database, but when I changed to
SQL Server, I get a database timeout error when attempting to do the
DELETE. I suspect the reason is that the connection the reader has open
has the record locked so it cannot be deleted.
The SQL connection string I am using is something like this:
UserDbConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=(Local); User ID=userid; Password=password; Database=dbname"
The connection string I used for MS Access included the property
"Mode=Share Deny None". I wonder if there is some similar way to tell
SQL Server to allow editing of records that are open for reading with
an OleDbDataReader.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've got a table with a unique column, "id". I've got the id values of about 300,000 records. These records need to be DELETEd from this table. Is there a way to do this in batch? I can't imagine the only way to do it is:
DELETE FROM Table WHERE id = 1 OR id = 2 OR id = 3... OR id = 300000
Running the following does not error, but it does not add the login either! When I try to add the login through EM or Studio it does not error, but when one exits the link's properties window and returns to the link's properties window the login is missing.
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'myLink'
, @useself = 'false'
, @locallogin = 'mydomainmylogin'
, @rmtuser = 'remoteuser'
, @rmtpassword = 'remotepass'
(0 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
It seems I can add some logins but not others. 'mydomainmylogin' is a sysadmin and is also used to start the sql server service. I can add this on most servers but not on a very few.
What gives?
