Hi All :A couple of tables have been identified to be deleted. My job is tofind if it is at all used.On searching the web, i found a proc to search for a string within alldatabases in a server.using system sproc : sp_msforeachdbit searches for a string inviews, sprocs, functions, check constraints, defaults, foreign key,scalar function, inlined tablefunction, primary key, 'Replicationfilter stored procedure, System table, Table function, Trigger, 'Usertable, 'UNIQUE constraint''Extended stored procedure'So it is pretty extensive. But i dont think it is covering the codewithin execsqltasks in DTS, and tsql code within JOB STEPS. Those arethe two more places where code exists in my server.If any of you have done so in the past, do let me know if there is asystem stored proc or code that you have written, to do the samethanksRSLink to the above procedurehttp://www.sql-server-performance.c...ase_objects.asp

I have two job J1 and J2, each one has 10 steps. Now I want J2 to be the 11th step of J1 and I did not want manually type all the steps of J2 to be 11-20 step of J2. Is there an easy way through TSQL to do this ?
sp_add_jobstep only works when the step is OS command or a script but not a job

Hello all,I am doing some research on database conversions. Currently, I aminterested in any information that would help me convert a database fromone schema to another. This could be changes as minimal as adding afield to a table, or as large as deleting tables and changingrelationships. Unfortunately, my experience with SQL Server is minimal.I know how to do a lot, but I do not know a lot of intricacies thatmost experts know. I know how to add tables, delete them, alterrelationships, add fields, work with stored procedures, take care ofsecurity, etc. I also know how to backup, restore, etc.The type of information I am looking for could be:1) Open source software that performs conversions2) Tutorials/books/<any reference> that would assist me in learningwhat I must to complete this task.3) Third party software that could be used on a large scale andwouldn't resort in unnecessary licensing cost if I was to deploy on thislarge scale.I greatly appreciate any information that could be provided me.To give you guys an idea of my experience level:I've been programming C# and .NET for a year now. I've also hadextensive experience in object-oriented design. I've worked with visualbasic, cobol (did I mention this? LOL), asp.net, php, javascript, andseveral other programming languages on an extensive basis. Whileprogramming is my speciality, I've strayed away from database work untilnow. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in researching this matter.Thanks ahead guys,Shock

Destination Database: SQL Server 7.0
Data Transfer: DTS
I have to convert an Access Database 2.0 to SQL Server 7.0. The database is about 500 MB in size. The biggest issue I am dealing with is data scrubbing. For example: The database consists of three main entity tables with numerous allowed values tables. There is no primary key on the allowed values tables and there aren’t any foreign key relationships between the allowed values tables and the entity tables.
Here is my plan:
1) Create the allowed values tables with an Identity column. Import the Allowed values into the tables, there by automatically generating a primary key for each allowed values.
2) Create the Entity tables, and create import tables to temporarily hold the imported data. Write the appropriate scripts to insert the data from the temp tables into the entity tables. The Entity tables would then have the foreign key relationship with the allowed values tables and would have the integer from the allowed value’s table’s primary key.
Advantages: Narrow tables = smaller, quicker, better transactions. The database would be smaller in size and there would be less repeating data. Third normal form.
Disadvantages: Report writing would be harder, more joins for the end users. (The end users are not too technical. Access was their limit.) The data scrubbing stage could be tedious.
The system is more a Decision Support System. Lots or reports and selects. Data is uploaded to the system once a week during off hours. The hardware is more than adequate to meet the needs: Compaq, 2X Processors 600Mhz with 1GB RAM, and 54 GB of Hardware RAID 5.
My main concern is five years from now when the next person converts from SQL 7.0 to what is available.
I can not supply the exact table definitions or data.
Thanks for all your help and comments.
Sincerely,

Working on trying to support mutliple backend db's against a custom VB6 app. Right now the db is SqlExpress. It's relatively uncomplicated and I just want to move table structures and data over. Using the MySql Migration tool, I am able to authenticate as SA to a server-based instance of SqlExpress, however, only the MS-supplied databases appear as available databases; my databases don't appear. Can't seem to authenticate at all to any local instance of the database, either. Anyone done any successful migrations to MySql through their migration tool?

I have a db in SQL server 2000 developer edition. I am using Visual Studio 2005 standard, and also VWD Express. I would like to just access the database that is in SQL server 2000 so I can get on with developing the site, but VS2005 refuses to recognize the instance. It recognizes 2005 instances right away.The services are all running, the network protocols are enabled, uid's/pw all of that is correct. I am getting the "named pipes" error (the named pipes protocol is enabled).Any suggestions? I'd really rather just work with the db as-is in SQL 2000. But I can't get it to connect. I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db. So my web app is not finding the stored procs and won't run.Do I need to uninstall SQL 2005 from this box if I want to use SQL 2000?Thanks,--Donnie
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have to import data from Excel file to an SQL Server Database.
One of the Excel Worksheet columns it's number (with max value of 4550204008914630000), I will import the column to a char 21 database field. Using a DTS to do the work, when I import that column it will convert the data in something like 4.5502041E+18.
Can you give me some help for the DTS.

hello friends,
i am facing a problem in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The database created in the SQL Server 2005 Express is when opened in SQL Server 2000, it changes the data type of all the columns of all the table to text type. can anybody help me?
I am using SSIS to load raw files into database. In my files I have columns Date which has format
1/1/2010 12:00:00 PM.
I want to load this column in format 1/1/2010 24:00:00. I mean in 24 hour format.
Hello,
I will be getting data in either Excel or Access form on a daily basis. I would like to automate the process of converting this (excel or access) data to a table in an existing SQL database. Since this conversion needs to performed on a daily basis, note that I need to update the table that contains data from the day before.
Is it possible to do this and if it is possible, can someone tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have a job which runs DTS packages (1 package per step). When a task fails within my DTS package, I'd like an error returned for that step in the job thus stopping the job and not starting up the next step (DTS package) in the job. As it stands right now, if a task fails within the DTS package, that step in the job still returns a successful completion. Has anyone seen this before and is there something I can do to get the DTS to send a failure for that step in the job?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin
I am going to be moving multiple databases to a new server. Everything should go smooth, but I need to change a lot of the DTS packages that reference the old servername and replace it with the databases DNS record.
Is there an easy way to get a list of which dts reference the old server explicitly (not using database DNS)?
Thanks.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
Can anybody tell me how many steps it's possible to put in one job.
The reason I ask is that we have a job that has over 500 steps (import data from Excel file into SQl table) and every time it runs we have different steps failures.
Does fact, that excel file was dropped and recreated, change DTS Id ?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I am new to replication.
I have to replicate a db on SQL7.0 sp5 .
It's going to be transactionol.
Is there any article which explains everything - where to start from and where to end?
I mean everything step by step.....
TIA.
hello!
A job as a whole can be scheduled.But can a individual job step be scheduled?
thankfully in advance,
Rams.
Here is an interesting problem I can't figure out. I have a job with 6 steps as follows:
Step 1 - Import text file 1
Step 2 - Import text file 2
Step 3 - Delete all data from address tables 1 and 2
Step 4 - Copy data from imported table 1 to address table 1
Step 5 - Copy data from imported table 2 to address table 2
Step 6 - Delete imported taxt file table 1 and 2
Now when I run each of these steps individually, like running the dts packages and stored procedures my self it all works fine and the data in my tables appears to update. Then, when I set the job to run automatically, it says completed and no errors but my data hasn't updated. The job must be doing what it is meant to as it took about 40 seconds which is normal.
Ever seen this problem before?
Hello,
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and new hardware have been ordered for our department. We currently run SQL Server 2000 (sp4). We have almost 500 DTS packages, 293 Jobs, and 14 user databases with hundreds of objects within.
Is there any documentation out there on how to scrutenize a current system? I have searched, and most of what I can find addresses migration planning with the assumption that the databases, packages, jobs, security, etc are ready to move over. We have a lot to think about before we can do that. We know we have redundancy problems (like View proliferation), table schema issues, obsolete DTS packages and Jobs, and otherwise a host of opportunities to 'clean house' and/or improve. We would really like to get a handle on what we are migrating before we migrate.
If you have any ideas or resources to you feel would be worth looking at, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Generally speaking when you want to optimise an application that relies on a database which is the order of the following optimization techniques
a) optimizing the spread of the pysichal elements of the database on different disks of the server
b) optimizing the use ot the RAM
c) optimizing the SQL
d) opimizing the OS
Thank you,

I've created SQL Server Agent jobs through management studio on SQL Server 2005. I can view and edit these jobs when I am logged into the server via remote desktop, but when trying to administer these jobs through Management Studio on a different machine, the steps do not appear in the job properties window.
Anybody else see this behavior? Know why it occurs? Is it a bug, or another wonderful "feature" of Manglement Studio?
i have setup a sql job with 4 steps
1-checkdb
2-indexdefrag
3-sp_updatestats
4-email notification.
if 1,2 success go next step
if 1,2,3 fails go step 4
if 3, 4 success quit with success
if 4 fails quit with failure
i created a script and pasted it in production server and i get this msg:
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
how can i fix it? I think the error is due to step 4 not executing before calling it from stepe 1,2,3

For example... updating the statistics.....
Likewise are there any tasks that I need to run after the successful migration.

What in SSIS replaces DTS Task Steps? In DTS you could build tasks and assign them an order in which to execute. How is this replaced in the SSIS Control Flow. Thanks.

I am trying to create a SQL Agent job with 3 steps.
I want to delete three tables.
Step 1 ...delete table "X"
Step 2 ...delete table "X"
Step 3 ...delete table "X"
problem is that afer i create the three steps and start the job it never seems to finish the first steps and non of the other steps run, the job looks like is executing and never finishes. I break the job into three jobs each completes fine. I need this to runs one job, any ideas?
perplexed for sure.....
I want to update a char column and remove all the periods (.) - middle initial data. What are the basic steps in SSIS?
Source Table/Column --> Transform of some kind --> ? --> ?
I've never had to massage data and replace in the same table in my brief career so far but I see a lot more ahead.
There isn't a simple sql statement to do this, is there?
TIA
Hello,
Thanks for reviewing my question. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 but I keep running into the same error:
SQL Server Setup failed to obtain system account information for the ASPNET account. To proceed, reinstall the .NET Framework, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
The only documentation I find on this is configuring the issolation mode in IIS 6.0.
Any help on is will be appreciated.

Hi All,
In creating 'steps' in JOBS, is it possible to execute many DOS CmdExec in
one step, instead of creating several steps with a single DOS-cmd in each.
For example:
Step1: bcp sourcedb..sourcetbl out source.dat -n -T -Ssourceserver
Step2: isql -T -Stargetserver -Q "truncate table targettbl"
Step3: bcp targetdb..targettbl in source.dat -n -T -Stargetserver
If I created a job executing those 3 functions in 3 separate steps then it works fine. But if I put all those 3 DOS command in one step, it won't work. Somehow,
SQL doesn't 'understand' it should execute after the end of each command OR
I missed something here (apparently so!).
I know if I put all those 3 DOS commands into a DOIT.BAT and execute it, it will work. But I want to use SQL Job to schedule it to run on a regular basis.
Anyone has run into this same problem? Thanks in advance.
David Nguyen.
My end game is to automate some of my monthly queries in a Job in SQL Server Agent. Right now I have two metric tables. One table is the name and comment with the PK. The secondary table is attributes/detail, such as reporting month, target and actuals.
I am currently running all different types of queries to get the aggregates. I'd like to get these into a job so it would run automatically and update the reporting table.
Would you recommend making one step or multiple steps for each query? I am trying to use an intelligent approach to begin to load the tables.

I am sure that this is an awkward way of doing it.Isthere any other, more elegant, way, please ? Besides, what if I hadnot 3, but 15 categories, for example ????Thanks a lot for your time reading this, Alex
