Does anybody know how I can change the default value for a column?
I was trying to remove the default value in order to add the new one
afterwards. This is what I tried:
alter table /table-name/ drop default for /column-name/
alter table /table-name/ alter column /column-name/
(/new-decl-without-default/)
It did not work. I cannot find a solution in the documentation. Maybe
you can help me out?
Thank you,
Johan
Hi, can anyone help me please - I'm still struggling with my database.
My set up is: Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005, SQL Express 2005, GoDaddy windows shared hosting.
On my PC I have a site which uses membership and the default database which was created after first compilation.
This works fine locally.
However, I need to export this to the GoDaddy server.
To do this I must rename the database (or recreate the project with a newly named database) and figure out how to alter any other settings.
I tried running aspnet_regsql.exe command but I really didn't have any luck.
I would have thought this would be a straight forward operation.
Can anyone give me guidance please.

Does anyone thing it is a wise thing to change the default port for SQL? Will this adversely affect the server? Thanks.

I thought I had this solved but after running aspnet_regiis again
I am having the same problem.
I can't log onto my sql server because the default DB is master.
The following command using sqlcmd gives me the master db:
Code:
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
GO
So, to try to fix this i ran:
Code:
EXEC sp_defaultdb 'sa', 'my_default_db'
GO
and no luck. I went over to the DB server and checked
the permissions under SERVER/SQLEXPRESS > SECURITY > LOGINS. All except NTAuthority and Administrators have
my intended DB as the default (including ASPNET).
This is frustrating because I know I have figured it out
before but I can't remember what I did. Help appreciated.
Thanks.
A few weeks ago a client asked me to add a column to a table so Icreated this script:ALTER TABLE dbo.tblIndividual ADD fldRenewalStatus BIT NOT NULLCONSTRAINT fldRenewalStatus_Default DEFAULT 0Now they want to change it from a BIT to an INT, to store an enum.Fair enough. However, no matter how much I wrangle with a script, Ican't find a reliable way to alter the column. I've mixed and matchedthe following and nothing seems to work:EXEC sp_unbindefault 'tblIndividual.fldRenewalStatus'DROP DEFAULT DF_tblIndividual_fldRenewalStatusALTER TABLE tblIndividualDROP CONSTRAINT fldRenewalStatus_DefaultALTER TABLE tblIndividualDROP COLUMN fldRenewalStatusGOALTER TABLE tblIndividualADD fldRenewalStatus int NOT NULLCONSTRAINT fldRenewalStatus_Default DEFAULT 0Thoughts?ThanksEdward

Hi,
I've created a new Stored Procedure template and saved it to .Microsoft SQL Server90ToolsShellTemplatesSqlStored Procedure. I can view (and use) the template via the Template Explorer, however, I want this new template to become my default template.
What do I mean by this? - I want to be able to right-click on stored procedures in my object explorer, click New Stored Procedure, and be forced to use my new template, rather than Create Procedure (New Menu).SQL.
Thanks

Hello,
Our security center just scanned my database server and has asked that I change the database server from the default instance name and change the default port used. When installed MS SQL Server 2000 I used the default installation settings. I have installed SP4 and this is all running on a fully patched WIN 2003 Server machine. Is this possible without un-installing and then re-installing?
Thanks for any and all help.

Best practice talks about the use of name conventions in the SSIS packages.
Is there a way to rename the default names of the tasks in the DataFlow and ControlFlow once and for all, so that each time I drag a new DataFlowTask in, the default name will be DFT and so on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm supporting a SQL 6.5 application through a firewall & I'm new to NT & SQLServer.
What's the easiest way to find out what port SQL is listening on? It should be 1433 but
the NT guys say 1433 isn't in use. What's the easiest way to change the default port? A search through Books online talks about editing registry keys & I'd prefer not to do this if this can be avoided. Any tips would be appreciated.
If you enter "Create Database test", the database files (mdf file & log file) are created, by default, in:-
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData
I want to change that to:-
D:Database Files
I sucessfully moved the model database to this location (using the instructions in BOL) assuming that all new databases would now get created in the same location, but they don't. They still get created in:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData
So how do I change the default?
(It's not satisfactory to have to move each database after it's created)
Thanks, Andy Abel
I am creating SSRS reports on top of SSAS cubes. I want the default value of parameter to change dynamically based on the current year or it should select the last of the parameter values.

Any advice?

Hello,I have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, and I'd like to change thedefault port to something else (we'll use 2033 for this example). I'vetried to connect from another computer on the same subnet using"ServerName:2033" as the server, but it doesn't connect. It will connect ifI change the Server to use the default port and change the server to connectto on the client to "ServerName", but either I"m not referencing the newport number properly or ????Any help you could provide would be great.Thanks In Advance!Rick

I think it has been discussed previously that having default parameter values based on expressions, e.g. a default parameter value of =Split("Bug",",") in multiple parameters will cause a postbacl whenever a user selects different values from the list.
Is this by design? Its a bit of an annoying thing. The refreshpostback doesnt happen if you have basic defaults like ="All" but only when an expression of some sort is used in more than 1 parameter. Does RS think they are linked or something, why does it need to psotback
efresh?
Ladies and Gents,
I have a question with regards to the default rendering extensions for reports. I am using RS 2005 with SP1.
I am accessing a report as follows:
http://<ReportServerName>/Reportserver?/<Folder>/<Report Name>
Sample: http://TestServer/Reportserver?/Special Reports/Dealer Report
This displays the parameter bar and the view report button. When pressing the view report button, the report is automatically rendered into HTML 4.0. Is there a way to use the existing parameter bar and automatically render the report to a different extension (such as PDF) when the parameters are entered and the View Report Button is pressed.
Thank You for any advice you can give,

I installed a default SQL Server 2012 instance on Windows Server 2012.I enabled the SQL Browser and changed the TCP port of the instance to 1435. I changed port 1433 to 1435 I was able to connect to the instance using SSMS on another server. Now I have to enter Servername,1435 to make a connection.Why does the SQL Browser not resolve the servername to the right IP address and port 1435? Why am I not able to make a connection when I enter the servername or <servername>MSSQLSERVER? Is a SQL Browser only resolving named instances?This works fine for a named instance. Is there something special about default instances or the SQL Browser?

when creating a new table. How can I set the default value of the column to equal the value of another column in the same table?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWell here's one of those excruciatingly simple obstacles:
In SQL Server 2005 (Mgmt Studio): according to BOL, the syntax to set a default value for an existing column is:
ALTER TABLE MyCustomers ALTER COLUMN CompanyName SET DEFAULT 'A. Datum Corporation'
However, when I Check:
alter table CommissionPayment alter column Amount Set Default 0
I get the error message:
"Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Set'."
No other combinations of this syntax work.
Help! What am I missing?
Hi all,
I have a table that has integrity constraints in place and it is populated with the data. I need to rename one of the columns in the table. I am hesitant to use sp_rename procedure because when I used it before I get a warning message that says "changing any part of an object name could break scriptd and stored procedure." how big of a problem is it? Is there any other way to do it without hearting anything? Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a problem writing a query to change row to column with some conditions and computations. It's appreciated if you guys can give some ideas.
Below is the sample data:
CREATE TABLE Item (Line int, Code nvarchar(8),Price decimal, Check nvarchar(1))
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (1,'001',200 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (2,'002',300 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (3,'003',500 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (4,'004',1000,'N')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (5,'005',2000,'N')
The expected result :
Line with check = 'N' must be converted to column(s).
Line Code Price Item004 Item005
1 001 200 1000 * (200/200+300+500) 2000 * (200/200+300+500)
2 002 300 1000 * (300/200+300+500) 2000 * (300/200+300+500)
3 003 500 1000 * (500/200+300+500) 2000 * (500/200+300+500)
Note : I would like to avoid using any cursors if possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,I am trying to change column name on an existing table. I am using SQLServer 7.As the table is quite big, it is taking quite long time to do it.By the way I could change the column name only through the EnterprizeManager.Is it possible to change the column name using SQL script?Why the change of column name will depend on the size of the table?Thanks for your answer.-Mokles
