I am trying to write some run time validation so that my users do not select a date more than a year in the past.
My problem is that while the message box appears when I am developing in BIDS it does not appear when I deploy to my web site.
Does anyone know of a way to do run-time parameter validation?
Thanks,
The report parameter that calls the code using the following:
So I have two steps in my job that check conditions and call RAISERROR to gracefully complete the job if those conditions are met (meaning I only want the final step to run in a specific situation). Works great, except for some reason my messages are not making it into the log. It is appending the SQLSTATE, and a default error instead of anything that I'm putting into RAISERROR.
I run SB between 2 SQL servers. In profiler on an initiator side I see next error: 'This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid'. For the conversation we use best practice, i.e. target closes a conversation. Target side succeed to close conversation, but initiator still stay in DO (disconnect_outbound). What is a reasone for the error? What to do?
I see in profiler this error: "This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid" What is a reason for error?
I am having trouble specifying a message body that is valid. I mean for the client to send. If I leave it as null then everything is ok but if I create a memorystream and add a line of text it reports back it did not pass validation. I do not understand this and am not sure what to do. I need to send a message based on a code and text but do not know the format of the body that is allowed. The code I am refering to comes out of HelloWord_CLR because that is what I am formating my sample after. I call it the same way it calls the return message done in ServiceProc. I need to know the message format including body since this does not seem to work. A sample of the call is bellow.
// Create an empty request message
string Msg = "Hello";
MemoryStream body = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Msg));
How easy it is to deploy a solution that uses SQL Express on Development, but a MS SQL database on the production server (host)I am using the membership provider of ASP.net 2.0 Many thanks.
Is there such a thing as a Production DBA in the SQL Server world or is this an outdated concept? Is there a market for people who specialize in database administration as distinct from software development or general network admin? I believe there are such people in the Oracle world, is the SQL Server world different in this regard? Can anyone give me suggestions about how to go about filling such a position?
I am a New York City area employer seeking to fill a position that I think would be ideal for a DBA with 3-5 years of experience in a production environment. The salary would be somewhere between $50K and $60K.
The position involves administering a SQL Server cluster and SAN running our core business application, plus several ancillary SQL Server installations. The application that we are implementing is a third-party product, so no real development is being done at our site. It is, however, fairly complex and requires customization and we do have significant reporting and EDI requirements, so strong T-SQL skills are required.
We are a medium-sized operation, with 900 employees and an eight person IT Dept; the organization’s main focus is insurance not IT, so candidates with a lot of experience might not find it challenging enough, but I think it would be an excellent opportunity for a candidate who might be stuck in the back of a large IT Dept. who wants to move up to a more visible position in a smaller organization.
I would think that there would be a lot of people in this category and, indeed, we have received a lot of resumes, but few of them are from the type of candidate that I had in mind. Most of the resumes are from people whose main focus is development or, if they have had experience in a production environment, have had 10+ years and are seeking salaries way beyond what we can pay. As for the former, I would not automatically reject someone whose prior experience was as a developer—and these skills would certainly be useful to us--I would just be worried that they wouldn’t be happy if they weren’t spending all of their time developing.
I just deleted a stored procedure in order to replace it with a corrected version (DotNetNuke). Now I had the following problem : When I try to create the SP with the following :
IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'{databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}GetUserRolesByUsername') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1) DROP PROCEDURE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}GetUserRolesByUsername GO
IF @UserName Is Null BEGIN SELECTR.*, U.DisplayName As FullName, UR.UserRoleID, UR.UserID, UR.EffectiveDate, UR.ExpiryDate, UR.IsTrialUsed FROM{databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}UserRoles UR INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Users U ON UR.UserID = U.UserID INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Roles R ON R.RoleID = UR.RoleID WHERE R.PortalId = @PortalId AND (R.Rolename = @Rolename or @RoleName is NULL) END ELSE BEGIN IF @RoleName Is NULL BEGIN SELECTR.*, U.DisplayName As FullName, UR.UserRoleID, UR.UserID, UR.EffectiveDate, UR.ExpiryDate, UR.IsTrialUsed FROM{databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}UserRoles UR INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Users U ON UR.UserID = U.UserID INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Roles R ON R.RoleID = UR.RoleID WHERE R.PortalId = @PortalId AND (U.Username = @Username or @Username is NULL) END ELSE BEGIN SELECTR.*, U.DisplayName As FullName, UR.UserRoleID, UR.UserID, UR.EffectiveDate, UR.ExpiryDate, UR.IsTrialUsed FROM{databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}UserRoles UR INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Users U ON UR.UserID = U.UserID INNER JOIN {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Roles R ON R.RoleID = UR.RoleID WHERE R.PortalId = @PortalId AND (R.Rolename = @Rolename or @RoleName is NULL) AND (U.Username = @Username or @Username is NULL) END END GO
I get the following error :
"Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error"
We have developed a project with many SSIS packages. Now we are in a stage where we are deploying this into production.
The operaitons team has asked us what are the things they need to known and do to make sure that the production system of SSIS keeps running.
Can you help me in comming up with a detailed list which I can give to the operations/admin folks so that they can ensure that this project keeps running?
I must release a new Db on 4/1 into an isolated small network (pier workgroup) and my choices are MSDE or Express. I'm new to both (MSDE yesterday, Express today). I am familiar with SQL Server and prefer using the tools with Express, but is it stable enough to use in this type of production environment?
Everything works well in development mode when I click on Preview, the report is shown as I want.
But In Production this is how my report is shown
My Report
Public
Private
Total
Category
SubCategory
x
x
x
SubCategory
x
x
x
Total
x
x
X
I don€™t understand why the Total column returns false for the InScope("SubCategory")," statement and that only when my report is deployed on the production server.
SELECT sysjobs.name, sysjobservers.last_run_outcome, CONVERT(varchar(8), sysjobservers.last_run_date, 112) AS LastRunDate, CONVERT(varchar(8), sysjobservers.last_run_time, 8) AS LastRunTime, GETDATE() AS CurrentDateTime FROM sysjobs LEFT OUTER JOIN sysjobservers ON sysjobs.job_id = sysjobservers.job_id WHERE (sysjobservers.last_run_outcome = 0) AND (CONVERT(varchar(8), sysjobservers.last_run_date, 112) >= DATEADD(day, - 1, GETDATE()))
I am wanting a similar solution, I need to convert an "int" to a time format, when I use this where ">= DATEADD(minute, - 720, GETDATE())" for the last_run_time I get this error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
I have two tbls joined via a varchar field.. which in tbl I have to use a CASE statement to format it correctly for the JOIN..
All works well.. however, if I add a WHERE clause to the statement, with the WHERE clause affecting only one of the JOINED tbls.. All the NULLS are not shown.
I should get results like:
Postcode Count
tf4 0 tf5 23 tf6 15 tf7 0 etc
Whereas, when I add the where clause, none of the "zeros" are shown, so I get:
tf5 23 tf6 15
Why is this?
Here's the SQL:

does not show the nulls:
where as:
SELECT ISNULL(COUNT(CASE LEN(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', '')) WHEN 5 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 2) WHEN 6 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 3) ELSE LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 4) END), 0) AS PCCount, dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode, dbo.UkPostcodes.Town, dbo.UkPostcodes.County, dbo.UkPostcodes.Area, dbo.UkPostcodes.Country, dbo.UkPostcodes.Master_Account FROM dbo.UkPostcodes LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Customers_Trade ON dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode = CASE LEN(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', '')) WHEN 5 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 2) WHEN 6 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 3) ELSE LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 4) END GROUP BY dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode, dbo.UkPostcodes.Town, dbo.UkPostcodes.County, dbo.UkPostcodes.Area, dbo.UkPostcodes.Country, dbo.Customers_Trade.Master_Account, dbo.UkPostcodes.Master_Account
I am using the Server Explorer in VS2005. I have created an additional field in a small test table with 3 other fields. The new field called foo_key does not show up when I query the table ( it has 7 records ).
I have some tables that I'd like to insert an auto-incrementing integer primary key. But at this point I cant figure out what's wrong. I have toggled the field as primary key on and off.It seems if I create a new table, then I see the primary key field and its autoincrementing as desired.
Could it be that I cannot add such a field if my table already has some records ? ...and to get one in would mean rebuilding a new table and shifting the records....pls advise

I modified something on the package, saved it and click on build. When i ran the package, it hit an error. when i saw the object that has an error, it was the one i modified. my changes were not applied. i stopped the runtime. and double click again on that package, it reflected my changes. why during runtime it's showing the old version? what's the proper way of saving the package and building it? What's the different of Build and Rebuild?
SELECT COUNT(dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode) AS PCCount, dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode, dbo.UkPostcodes.Town, dbo.UkPostcodes.County, dbo.UkPostcodes.Area, dbo.UkPostcodes.Country FROM dbo.UkPostcodes LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Customers_Trade ON dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode = CASE LEN(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', '')) WHEN 5 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 2) WHEN 6 THEN LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 3) ELSE LEFT(REPLACE(dbo.Customers_Trade.PostCode, ' ', ''), 4) END
GROUP BY dbo.UkPostcodes.Postcode, dbo.UkPostcodes.Town, dbo.UkPostcodes.County, dbo.UkPostcodes.Area, dbo.UkPostcodes.Country
The query should take all of the UK postcode regions (districts) and then match them up to the postcodes in a customer tbl...
What I'm trying to show is the count for postcode resutls, even the postcodes where there are no customers.
I have two different reports and in these two reports one contains images which is working fine at development site as well as server site but when same report is called from another report using linking facility given in sql report images disappears on server site at development site it is working fine.
Hi all, I have a asp .net 1.1 application running on the intranet which uses SQL Server 2000. The application is in production and everytime I want to do some changes, i do the changes on my development machine then I copy the application dll on the server. The problem is that I'm using Stored Procedures for all my Select, Insert and Delete statements. These stored procedures are live on the server so I can't do the modifications locally and test them then copy to the server.
How can I do modifications without affecting the production server and the users ??? thanks.
I will be hosting my website in the next few months and doing more testing and I was having trouble finding a place to host the site that allows enough space for my sqlserver2005 database. I am estimating that the database will be around 40-50GB. Most hosting companies only give about 500MB for the database. Does anyone know of a company that provides more space? Also, is SQL Express production ready, or is it just for developing applications? If it is production ready, is there any "major" performace impact in using it over the full version. The reason I am asking is because hosting companies only give 500MB for a database, but alot more space for the web page. If I can put the SQLExpress file in the App_Data folder, then I will have more space. Does this even sound like it will work? Opinions are appreciated!
ok ok, stop laughing. for real, is there any programatic way of doing this? whom ever created this database i inherited (SQL 2000) created the LDF and DATA files on the same drive and in the same folder for that matter. just trying to do a little disaster magament.
we have a situation where modifications to the stored procs and views keep happening in the development databse environ while there is a live production database also up and running.
periodically we need to ensure that the development and the production are in synch where all changes made to dev are transferred to prod. however the entire prod database obviously cannot be overwritten as it contains production data. therefore what we need to do is to transfer all SPs and Views from the development to prodn. ( we do not prefer incremental transfers as there are many SPs and views and we can never really be sure that all changes have been transferred )
the obvious way is to script out all SPs and views in dev and run the scripts in prodn. but what we encountered was the enterprise manager does not script out the objects in heirarchical sequence - ie parent objects first and then the objects that refer the parent objects. this leads to errors when running the scripts as the objects required for the creation of a SP, say another SP run from within that SP , may not have been generated by then as the "contained" SP is lower in the alphabetical order in which SQL server scripted out the objects.
finally we had to look at each and every error and manually set the process right.
moreover in the way we did things the "sysdepends" table got all screwed up and therefore we can no longer depend on enterprise manager to show dependencies within the database.
is there any elegant way of going about this ? we also tried transfer manager in DTS but it also gave the same error. moreover can the sysdepends table be rebuilt from scratch ?
I am interested in hearing from those who are using SQL7 in production. Please include size of database, number of users, implementation date and experiences to date - good bad or indifferent. Thank-you, Leo
This feels like a silly question, but I`m going to ask it anyway...
I have limited SQL Server experience, but have run into a wall with a client`s Web/Access combination. I need to upgrade to SQL Server. I have Beta3 installed on a development box and am very happy with it. Is anyone running this thing in a production environment? This isn`t going to be experience huge loads, so I`m tempted. Tell me if I`m crazy for wanting to try it.
Sould one has a seperated environment for production and test system? How do you do it on a same server? Install two instance? How do you seperate test DBs from the production DBs? Please advise...Thank you
I have a brand new database server with system databases. I need to copy like four production database from another server to this new server. Can i do restore of the last production backups and restore them on the new server without creating the empty databases on the new server.If any one has better approach i will appreciate
I have a database db1 on server1 and server2.The Db On server1 is a production db and the Db on server2 is a staging Db.All the new data will be coming into production Db.And i wanted to update the data and database structures on staging Db from production Db on weekly basis.So how can I reflect the data and datastructures on my staging Db from my production Db.
Was wondering, when performance changes have been made to existing code and deployed to a production environment, should anything be done regarding clearing old cache?
Is there a risk of the new code picking up cold or wrong cached query plans etc?
I know you can't clear the cache for the full system as it will affect everything else. But are the ways to target the changes? I.E run the new code with an OPTION (RECOMPILE) few times to build up new clean plans for it to use?
Or will the update stats see it is using bad plans and then start creating new clean ones over time?
This is probably an easy solution for some of you seasoned DBA Vets but here is my problem.
I have to take production data and scramble certain sensitive columns such as SSN, DOB, Address, First Name so that our Management team can use it as demo material. Is there a quick solution to this issue?
