The Settings:
I'm currently using a single TABLE DETAIL ROW with HIDE DUPLICATES in Col1 and Col2.
The LONGDESCRIPTION field can be expected to take 2 row heights worth of space because it wont fit.
I've also got CAN INCREASE TO ACCOMODATE CONTENTS and CAN DECREASE TO ACCOMODATE CONTENTS selected.
The Problem:
When Printing/PrintPreviewing Page1, the Height of Rows 2/3/4 ARE THE CORRECT SIZE (only 1 row high, meaning that can decrease to accomodate contents works).
BUT when Printing/PrintPreviewing Page2, the Height of Rows 6/7/8 FOLLOW THE HEIGHT of ROW 5 (two rows high, meaning that can decrease to accomodate contents DOES NOT WORK).
Rows 2/3/4 has the same Row Height as Row 1 ONLY ON PAGES after Page1.
Rows 6/7/8 has the same Row Height as Row 5 ONLY ON PAGES after Page1.
Can decrease to accomodate contents does not seem to be working for Pages after page 1.
It is using a table to display a very large amount of data (a basic list of information) with groups. Each of the groups can span multiple pages, so the user may not realize where the grouping actually began (I am repeating the group headers). Therefore, I would like to modify the group header when it is repeated across multiple pages by simply adding the text, "(cont.)" to the header so the reader can easily see that the group started on a prior page. There does not appear to be any standard test function for this condition. Using Previous() for this case does not work. This cannot be a new issue and must have been solved; any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the forum but could not find an answer to this question...
Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

in microsoft doc there is written on the topic of BP Extensions with SSD's in SQL Server 2014: only clean pages are written to disk... does this mean data pages that have not been modified yet? or also those data pages that have already been modified, and where log has finished writing and the transaction has been marked as commited??
why are there clean data pages being written to L2 cache to make space for other not modified pages? I mean, shoudnt they be modified first, before letting other unmodified data pages into the Cache? I mean they have still to be modified..that makes no sense to me to page them out and page them in again just for other data pages...
I wanna ask you how to decrease log file size..? For example i have database file with data file size is 122,166 Kb and the database log file is 6,330,176 KB
A want to user a procedure to decrease a number in a col. by 1 each day.
I need some type of operation
then a job has to run the procedure to decrease a number once a day.
I don't know how to go about the operation? I am going to the SQL Query Anylizer to help me run the script to test it. I have in a col. of 201 numbers, and I will subtract 1 from each day from all recorders. I guess you could call this a count down or timer. Does this code work for me?
We were running a 4 processor server with 8 GB RAM and 800GB hard diskspace on Windows 2000 server and SQL Server 2000.Recently we have upgraded the server to 8 processor and added another800GB. The OS was upgradded to Windows 2003 enterprise edition.All the processor are 2.5GHz Xeon preocessors.After upgradation the performance of the server has gone down from whatit was giving before the upgrade.It seems that multiprocessing is not ocurring.The model of the server is HP DL740The OS is installed in a built in array(5i controller) of the serverand the SQL server is installed in a external array(6400 controller).I will really aprecite if anyone can give any clue to improve theperformance.Thanks in advance.Taw.
I've used the ADS sample program and it works well. I looked at the code and changed it to VB (sorry, I'm not biligual yet), and have tried to 'adjust' it so I can connect to a remote PC (XP running IIS) instead of the local PC using the workgroup information database (system.mdw). Any ideas of the connection string that could make the connection?..my intention is to RDA once a week between a mobile device (3g/gsm) and a 'poor man's' IIS web server. I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm sure its possible since all I'm doing is changing the connection path.
I was trying to use inline views, then sub-query etc. Still can't get quite what I want.
So for example take a personID where they are registered, processed and deregistered. They can have one or more registrations, one or more related processes (for each registration) and then deregistration, the processes are always tied to a registration and deregistration period.
for a given time-period I want to find the first registration and use that first registration to find subsequent registration records within 20 days - I don't want to return processes related to the next registration record, just the next registration record.
I already have the query built that returns all the raw data for those registrations, processes and deregistrations but need to set up something that finds subsequent registrations. So here is a sample of raw data:
firstly need to use all first registrations - that would be row where reg-date = process first date and also reg time and process first time are equal - and use those for finding the next reg_date of that personID. PersonID can have more than one registration in a period so need to do something like partition, which although it worked on it's own, seemed to become a tangled mess when I started using the subset in a inline view or sub-query. Not sure how to return earliest reg date in period for certain PersonID for multiple IDs.
I have made the dates the same in last 4 rows, this isn't intentional and doesn't mean anything it's because I copied and pasted the first 4 rows.
How to tie this together using first reg of each personID and then comparing with other records to find subsequent first registrations. I'm not too fussed about finding them within a certain time period from the first registration, more that I want to just get some sort of query set up then I can put in specifics.
my friend said that to decrease quantity of item must use store procedure or trigger.. is there can use datatableadapter to decrease quantity? if yes.., so which the easy to use? procedure or trigger or tableadapter?ok, thx....
Just wondering if someone can help me decrease the size of mdf and ldf files. In the past production database "NewUniverse" had been allocated space of 100 GB for mdf file and 8 GB of ldf file. However the data file has only used 30 GB of data. But now due to disk space related reason, I tried to decrease the datafile size from 100 GB to 40 GB. But I am not able to do it.
I have a database that the transaction log grows about 1 GB per day. I would like this size was decreased daily. Does anyone have any suggestions? Some friends told me that after the Full backup that is done daily, I should perform a backup of transanction log with option to truncate and after, make a shrink in the database. That is exactly what should be done?
Hi, My DB size (Right click on DB Name, Data Files tab, Space Allocated field) was 10914 MB.
I delete a huge table (1.2 million records * 15 columns). I checked the db size again. It didnt change. Shouldn't it decrease because I delete a huge table ??
I need to bring over a large number of tables' records (200+ tables) with the Import/Export Wizard. The tables are being imported from MS Access. A separate script run previously will create the tables, so the DTS wizard is only to bring over the data from the Access tables into the empty SQL ones.
First, I get the warning that indicates "a large number of tables are selected for copying, and the wizard may not be able to copy all the tables in a session. Select no to go back and unselect some tables, or select Yes to attempt to copy all the currently selected tables at one time".
Well, I proceed with the DTS and it tries to validate and takes a fair bit, but then it errors indicating:
"Error 0xc0202009: {2F0FABA0-5F4B-4310-97C0-76EA19893547}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)"
Can anyone shed any light on why I receive an "unspecified error" when tring to DTS a larger number of tables. It does not error, if I import 40 or so tables.
I have a database consisting of two main tables and 12 sub tables.
This was leading to increase in database size. So we thought of storing the sub tables data in the main tables in form of xml  in a column of varchar(2000) type.
So we created a new database that only had 2 tables and we stored the data of the sub tables in the new column of the main table.
Surprisingly we saw that the database size increased rather than decreasing .
I have a UDF --------------------- if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric]') and xtype in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF')) drop function [dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric] GO
CREATE function UDF_AlphaNumeric (@string nvarchar(max)) returns nvarchar(max) AS -- select dbo.UDF_AlphaNumeric('a[]#b`c,;"1$%^2"£!3') begin while @@rowcount > 0 select @string = replace(@string, substring(@string, patindex('%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%', @string), 1), '') where patindex('%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%', @string) <> 0
if @string = '' select @string = null
return @string end
---------------------
After creating the function I open a new query window, put in the below two calls to the function, and run them
I have a report in which the user can drill down on data. However when the user changes a parameter and reruns the report, all nodes are collapsed again. Is it possible to let the report keep the expansion state of nodes after pressing the 'view report' button again?
EmployeeAccess (MasterID, LoginID, AccessID, Storage1, Storage2, Storage3) that needs to be updated using the data in the following spreadsheet NewEmployeeAccessData (ID, MasterID, AccessID1, LoginID1)
There is a 1:1 relationship between the two tables..I'm trying to code a pair of update statements on the EmployeeAccess table (1 for LoginID, 1 for AccessID) with the following logic:
If LoginID is NULL, then Update LoginID with new LoginID1 value, If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New LoginID1 values If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New LoginID1 values etc etc...
The same applies when trying to populate the AccessID column
If AccessID is NULL, then Update AccessID with new AccessID1 value, If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New AccessID1 values If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New AccessID1 values etc etc.
I have no control over the schema of this table so I'm trying to work the logic on how to update the columns in my table only if the corresponding column data is NULL, else update the next non NULL Storage column.
I have a few Log Shipped DBs that are working great.
Currently they are set to fire off every 15 minutes 24/7.
My question is this ... I need to get FULL backups of the source DBs in order to restore them on certain Dev boxes.
If I were to execute the full backup on one of these Log Shipped DBs ... how would it affect the log shipping process?
Is there a special method to accomplish this?
As a side note, what would be some concerns/issues if in being able to create the FULL backups and not interupt log shipping, I were to create the backup using a 3rd party tool like Quest LiteSpeed?
I sure wish we were on Enterprise, then I could create a mirror and then snapshot off it to create my backups BUT ... that is not the case as we stand today.
I have another query regarding the graph/chart that i made in report builder. May i know on how to lessen the space between a column in my stacked bart chart.
I have a pretty large DB and a fairly complex query. If I drop buffers and clear cache the query runs in 20 seconds returning 25K rows. Subsequent runs are 2 seconds. Is this the result of the results being cached, execution being cached, other? Are there good ways to close the gap between the initial and later runs? Does the cache stay present until the service restarts or does SQL recycle the memory and if so, based on what criteria?
I have a vb.net page that I need to display a list of employees who work in a specific office, based on a MatterID passed in a query string. But, I don't know how to get a value returned from one sql statement into a second. Here's what I'm trying to do... From the QueryString, we know that the MatterID = 4 ( xxx.aspx?MatterID=4) Knowing that the Matterid=4, I query the database to get the OfficeId for that MID (Select OfficeID from tMatter where Mid=4) ~This returns an OfficeID of 6 So, then I need to do another query to get the employees where OfficeID = 6 (Select EmployeeID from tEmployees where OfficeID = 6) How do I do these in one query, or how do I use the Calculated Value for the OfficeID in the 2nd statement?
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?
I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.
------ SQL ------- SELECT job.job_number, (SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number) FROM job_status_log jsl WHERE job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
[code].....
In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.
Can anyone advise me of a convenient way to make a copy of a database in SQL2005. I need to make a complete copy - including all Stored procedures, functions tables and table contents. I want the place the copy ont he sae SQL server but obviously under a different name.
I have a table with about 2 million records. One of the fields has data seperated by a comma. I need to be able to grap the data for each record and split those items into their own table in seperate rows. This is easy in Asp but the page will timeout before it can process all the records. Any Ideas? Thanks,Rick
