DECLARE @File_Exists INT

And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path

how to check if UNC folder exists in Backup? in my code I want to check if the unc folder exists before doing backup, the unc path is retrieved from other table or backup history.
Running into some difficulty trying to extract a name from a UNC Path. The structure of the UNC Path is this:
server1-1shareusername hispartgoesonandon
I'm needing to extract "username" into a separate column.

I'm, using my script to many location to create folder to save output files and if the folder is removed/not present it can create it without any noise. But the problem is, while I use the same sort of script to check if a folder is present in the sharedpath it will not create it to copy all bkp files from local to remote path works good, but if you delete the folder or rename the exisitng folder and if the below script tries to create the folder it created as "fILE", very interesting. Per IT team they have given SQL Server account the full rights to create/delete/alter folder/files.
Do I need to use seperate script or way to create / alter folders in the sharepath?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?
We have an existing BI/DW process that adds large chunks of data daily (~10M rows) to an existing table, as well as using Deletes to remove stale data. This scenario seems to beg for partitioning to support switching in/out data.
After lots of reading on this, I have figured out the mechanics of the switching, bit I still have some unknowns about the indexes needed to support this.
The table currently has several non-clustered indexes, including one on the partitioning column - let's call that column snapshotdate. Fortunately there are no FKs involved, and no constraints.
Most of the partitioning material I see focuses on creating a clustered PK to assist with switching. Not sure if this is actually necessary, but assume I create one using an Identity column (currently missing) plus snapshotdate.
For the other non-clustered, non-unique indexes, can I just add the snapshotdate to the end of the index? i.e. will that satisfy the switching requirement?
Let's say I have a function named MyCustomFunction and I want to ensure that it exists in the database. Let's say I have a create script for the function. I want the script to be runnable multiple times if needed. A common way to do this is to check for an object_id at the top of the function like this:
IF OBJECT_ID('MyCustomFunction') IS NULL
DROP FUNCTION MyCustomFunction
GO
CREATE FUNCTION MyCustomFunction...
But is there a more elegant way to do this? For example, instead of dropping and recreating the function, is there a way to simply exit from the script and do nothing if the function already exists? Something like this:
IF OBJECT_ID('MyCustomFunction') IS NULL RETURN
GO
CREATE FUNCTION MyCustomFunction...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to add new calendar columns from Jan to Dec in an existing SSRS report based on certain conditions.
The report uses a simple query at the moment.
SELECT [PROJECT ID]
,[PROJECT]
,[STATUS]
,[ACTUAL START]
,[ESTIMATED END]
FROM Projects
The requirement to add the new calendar columns is based on the following conditions:
1. If the Status value is “2” then for each Month in the current year, shade in green for the particular current month
For example, if for a particular Project for month/year of April 2015
Year/Month(Actual Start date) is < = April 2015
and Year/Month(Estimate End date) > = April 2015, then April should be shaded green.
2. The logic needs to be repeated from each month in the current year.
3. Some Estimate and Actual dates run from previous year, or into next year, so year also needs to be taken into consideration.
find the DDL and sample data below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Projects](
[PROJECT ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[PROJECT] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[STATUS] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[ACTUAL START] [datetime] NULL,
[ESTIMATED END] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
insert into Projects
values('1','TFD','2','2015-01-31 00:00:00.000','2015-12-31 00:00:00.000')

how to rewrite the existing query to add new calendar columns in the report and then in the SSRS output shade green based on the above condition.
I have some huge tables (think 200+GB for a single table) which are excellent candidates for sparse columns. The tables have many columns which are defined with decimal datatypes (13,2) with a large percentage of them (over 50% in most cases- some as much as 99%) being 0.00. Since this is very expensive in terms of storage my idea is to set all the 0.00 values equal to NULL then set them as sparse. Across 100 or so identical databases, I have 5 such tables, with 20-40 columns in each table.
1.) three steps for each column in each table in each db.
Step 1: update table to allow for nulls
Step 2: update tabe set column=null where column =0.00
Step 3 update table set sparse columns
2.)
Step 1: Create entirely new table with sparse column definitions
Step 2: copy entire table, transforming 0.00 to null for affected columns via SSIS
Step 3: drop original table, rename new table to original name
Our database crashed this morning and went into recovery mode.how I can track the progress of the recovery to determine how long it might take?The error log shows that it started up all the databases, then shows the recovery messages fr the msdb database, then shows that sql server is ready for client connections. I don't see any messages about my database recovery or the number of transactions to roll forward or background. If i run the sys.sp_readerrorlog and search for my database name, the only line returned is the starting up database message.
I do expect the database to take a while to recovery as it is about 8TB, there is plenty of free disk space about 3TB.The database started recovery while a transaction log backup was running so that backup failed,the last transaction log backup was taken 2 hours before recovery started. The last full backup completed about 5 days ago. The transaction log backup occurs every 2 hours and is typically around 16GB.
I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.
Automated and manual backup done through SQL Management console are failing with error 23 - redundancy check failed.
This is a critical production db. Other db in same instance backs up ok.
Is there a way to fix this?

I have a table of languages, identified by a lang_id column as follows:
LANG_IDLANG_NAME

czCzech
I also have a RESOURCES table of phrases (for translation purposes) similar to this:
res_id res_lang res_phrase
AccessDenied en Access Denied
For some rows in the resources table I do not have all language codes present so am missing some translations for a given res_id.My question is what query can I use to determine the RESOURCE.RES_IDs for which I do not have a translation for.
For example I might have a de, en, cz translation for a phrase but not a pl phrase and I need to identofy those rows in order that I can obtain translations for the missing RESOURCE rows.
I'm trying to run a query to check the downtime in production lines, but if a line has assigned more than one cause for the downtime it repeat the info for each cause.

R.Method,R.PreProduction,R.People
FROM (
SELECT Line, Shift, DatePacked, SUM(Cast(Downtime AS INT)) AS AssignedDowntime,

I'm expecting that if is more than one "Down Reason "it will include in the same line. At this moment if i have more than one reason it create a line for each one for example:
If i have a total Downtime of 50 minutes and they are assigned 10 for itequipment, 30 by testequipment and 10 assigned to quality issues i will have and output like this:
Line Total_Downttime By itequipment by_testequipment bypeopleissues byquality
line1 50 0 30 0 0
line1 50 10 0 0 0
line1 50 0 0 0 10
What i want is to have a output like this:
Line Total_Downttime By itequipment by_testequipment bypeopleissues byquality
line1 50 10 30 0 10
All in one line.
