Greeting SQLers,
I'm attempting to define a Default value for a new user-defined-datatype in SQL Server 6.5, but can't as the dropdown list only allow (none) value!
Anyone can help? TIA.
I am designing a new table with a few columns that may or may not havea value on each row that is inserted.What issues determine whether to allow a NULL value to be inserted forthat column or define a default value to be used?I want to think through the repercussions of this decision before I getinto production.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?
Can someone please explain how i would define a multi-valued default parameter within the report Properties -> Parameters. I have an OLAP based report with multi-value parameters. I do not want to set the default values from within BIDS. Instead, I'd like to do this from the ReportServer (after report deployment). I have no problem when i enter a single value as a 'default value', for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[AAM]
But, how would i define it with multiple values as a 'default value' ?, for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[ABC] , [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[DEF]
NOTE: It appears that you cannot use expressions, such as the 'split' function in the 'default value' space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
I have to use a CTE based on conditions. But I am not able to write a common CTE and access it on different conditions.
Now I am duplicating the CTE definition inside each if condition. But I expects a solution like bellow to reduce code duplication.
For example
---- I need a common definition of CTE like this.
with CustomGroup( id)
as
(
Select id from Groups g
Inner join GroupStatus s on s.Id = g.Id
Where s.Status = €˜Active€™
)
IF @DisplyStatus=€?UserDetail€?
begin
<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->at present CTE is defined here.
select u.* from users u
inner join userGroups ug on ug.UserId = u.Id
inner join CustomGroup cg on cg.Id =ug.GroupId -- Accessing the CTE
end
else if @DisplyStatus=€?UserSimple€?
begin
<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->at present CTE is defined here.
select u.FirstName,u.LastName,u.DOB from users u
inner join userGroups ug on ug.UserId = u.Id
inner join CustomGroup cg on cg.Id =ug.GroupId -- Accessing the CTE
end
else if @DisplyStatus=€?UserWithAddress€?
begin
end
Please suggest possibilities, and your suggestions.
Hi, here am i back ..not sure it's possible to solve it in one query ...there are four tables:1) headquarters---------------hqID (primary key)hqname2) department---------------depID (primary key)depnamehqID3) reports----------repID (p. key)depIDuserID4) users--------userID (p.key)usernameI want to get in one query those four fields:hqID, hqname, depID, depname + varchar(number of distinct users that has made a report foreach department) . This last field is a concatenation.The complexity resides in the fact there is need for a COUNT among other fields ...E.g.: table reports may look like this: repID depID userID 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 3 4 3 6 5 4 8This gives:for dep 1: 2 distinct usersfor dep 2: 0for dep 3: 1 distinct userfor dep 4: 1 distinct userThanks for helpTartuffe

I've always created database tables with one Primary Key that increments by one for each new record. I'm working on a database that was built by someone else now that has a lot of defined foreign key relationships (under Tables > specific table > Keys). How helpful is it to define these Keys? I assume it helps make the database more efficient but is it necessary if you're working with small databases?

Hi, I am trying to connect to my local SQL Server through a webform ( on VS.NET ). My web.config shows something like this -
sqlConnectionString="data source=IP address;Trusted_Connection=yes"and the tutorial I am following says something this - SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection( "server=(local)\NetSDK;database=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI");If I just replace the NetSDK either with my IP address or the servername (my machine name), I get a SQLException that server doesn't exist or access denied. I have specified "windows authentication". How do I correctly define my connection string ? Please guide me.Thanks,sbs.

One more silly question,
What is an identity column? how can I define it?
table abc
=========
no (primary key) name
================ ====
1 jung

4 tom
In this example, I want to define 'no' as an identify column so that I can update it as I wish.
Thanks in advance,

Jung,
Take a look at your table. It looks like you don't have an identity column
defined for "no" (your column name). Set Indentity_Insert doesn't work for tables that don't have one defined. PS A primary key is not the same as an Idendtity column.

table : abc
no (primary key) name
================ ====
1 jung

4 tom
In this record, I wanted to update no 4 to 3 which is primary key.
So, I used the query as below.
=============================
Set Identity_insert abc on
UPDATE abc
SET no = 3
WHERE no = 4
Set Identity_insert abc off
go
=============================
But I got an error;
Server: Msg 8106, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table 'abc' does not have the identity property. Cannot perform SET operation.
Why this happens? I really want to update the primary key.

I have a DTS package (SQL2000) which uses ActiveX scripts to check for records with certain criteria in a table. If the certain criteria is met, I want to initiate a child package that preforms a data-extraction. Otherwise move onto the next step which check for a different set of criteria. Currently if the criteria is met, I flag the task as success to dictate moving to one set of steps, otherwise failure & moving onto the next check.
The problem I am realizing, is that if I 'Fail' on of the check steps, subsequent steps furthur down the route that I am directing it to go, do not run. These are other ActiveX tasks that send email, and do furthur analysis.
Why is this the case? Can't you perform a logical check, and based upon the check have a decision to run certain steps? I attempted to use the result 'Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask', but I must not be using it correctly, because it lists the task as returning failure.
Any help would be great.

Is there a SQL statement that I can use which allows me to set value lables in a result set? For example, if a table has a gender variable with values of 'M' & 'F', can I write a sql statement which creates a result set that changes these to 'Male' & 'Female' so that everything I do with the result set shows the new labels (but does not change the underlying M/F values in the orginal table?
I do not want to create a new table, but rather display the M/F values as Male/Female when I access the result set in an application (such as Report Services).
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi!
I plan to prepare a lot of DMX statements, but can I control
when the datamining model actually was calculated?
Lets say i make following
1. create mining structure... - I expect that this execution will take "no" time
2. create mining model... - I expect the same
3. insert into <miningmodel>... select ... - I expect that that actually will take some time- right?
I really only want to prepare definition of mining structures/models and telling the model what data (insert into) it should use.
Is it possible to control the actual processing, eg. execution of insert statement (= execution of time consuming select-part)?
I have a batchjob that only need to define things but calculation of mining model is not needed until someone really
want's to see it (and it is ok that this person has to wait on processing).
BOL writes
>>
Processing Options
The following table describes the processing methods that are available in Analysis Services, and identifies the objects for which each method is supported.
Process Default
Detects the process state of an object, and performs processing necessary to deliver unprocessed or partially processed objects to a fully processed state. This processing option is supported for cubes, databases, dimensions, measure groups, mining models, mining structures, and partitions.

But how to control this behaviour?

Hello! I hope that I have posted in the right spot.
We are looking for advise. I know that there is no right or wrong answer. "It depends."
We currently have a server with the OS as Windows Server 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2000 SP3. This Server has 6 physical drives; only 3 of these physical drives are being used. These 3 physical drives are 1 container with Raid 5. This 1 container is divided into 3 logical drives.
We would like to fill the other 3 physical drive slots and create another container. We were thinking of making this Raid 1.
I should put in my disclaimer that Raid 10 is out of the question and so is SAN.
Is Raid 1 the best choice? This is my first question.
Next is how should we split up the files among the containers.
For example, OS, log and swap file on container 1 with Raid 1 and datafiles on container 2 with Raid 5?
What are most people doing? Is there a standard? Can people provide examples of what they are doing or provide suggestions?
The SQL below is the start of a massive Stored Procedure for Comparing two Datasets, which will be produced onto a report.
I was wondering if I could call an SQLserver Procedure that would tell me the names of all the Columns that are produced by this SP, so I can print them out and more easily code the report?
