My SQL Server 2000 database log was full (2MB) and I am unable to add new column to a table. So that I follow this article to truncate my log file to 1MB. It works. But when I add a new column to a table after that. The log file went back to 2MB in size and I got the "the log file is full" error message again for the operation. BTW, my reovery mode was set to "Simple". I don't understand how the save table operation can recover my change on log size. What should I do to "permanently" truncate my log?
The transaction log in a database in our SQLSERVER-2000 server hasgrown to 16GB. I cannot shrink the transaction log manually because itsays that the entire 16GB log size is not free. This is strangebecause we backup the transaction log every hour, and that should havetruncated the transaction log, and should have limited the size of thetransaction log; somehow, the entire transaction log is still markedas being used.I was under the impressionI believe that must have something to do with the fact that thedatabase is a part of our nightly replication. The reason is that whenI tried the following commands, I got that error message:checkpointdump transaction isprod with no_logThe log was not truncated because records at the beginningof the log are pending replication. Ensure the Log ReaderAgent is running or use sp_repldone to mark transactionsas distributed.What does this mean? How can I get away from this mess?Thanks.Jay Chan
Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles
How, using SQL, do I turn off the identity property in the table? I need a script to run against a number of db to permanently remove the identity property from the tables without needing to use Enterprise Manager.
In SQL 2012 I'm trying to delete a log file (both physically and logically). There are two log files and one of them is unnecessary. When I click 'remove' in SSMS it will delete the log file, but then when I go back under database properties it's still showing up even though the file has been physically removed from the OS. I'm wondering what steps I can take to get rid of the file permanently?
I hope this is the right forum to post my question in.
Does anyone know if or when Microsoft will discontinue support for 2000 DTS Legacy packages within SQL Server 2005? We€™re in the process of migrating from 2000 to 2005 and have a lot of packages to migrate to Integration Services. We€™re having problems migrating the packages because quite a few of them are complex and won€™t run after migrating to IS without a major rewrite. Right now it seems that those packages will run just fine under the Legacy folder on the 2005 instance with the data connections pointed to 2005 databases. We€™d just like to plan appropriately if we absolutely have to migrate those packages to IS at some point soon. We realize that we'll need to create new packages using IS, though.
So I€™d appreciate it if anyone has heard anything to please let me know. I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn€™t seem to find any posts on it. Thanks!
In SQL 2005, I've created a test scenario in AdventureWorks where I:
1.) Create a database master key:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.symmetric_keys WHERE symmetric_key_id = 101) CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<password>'
GO
2.) Create a certificate:
CREATE CERTIFICATE HRCert WITH SUBJECT = 'Comments' GO
3.) Create a symmetric key:
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY CommentKey WITH ALGORITHM = DES ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE HRCert GO
4.) Add a test column to the HumanResources.JobCandidate table:
ALTER TABLE HumanResources.JobCandidate ADD Comments varbinary(8000) GO
5.) Open the symmetric key for use:
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY CommentKey DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE HRCert GO
6.) Insert and Encrypt values ('Yes') to the newly created column:
UPDATE HumanResources.JobCandidate SET Comments = EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('CommentKey'), 'Yes') GO
-------
Great. Now all the textbooks say that, to view the column values in a decrypted state, you should:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, DecryptByKey(Comments)) AS [Decrypted Comments], * FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate
------
Great, I get it. But here's the rub. What is the best way to permanently decrypt the column and keep it in a cleartext state?
Running the following works, but keeps the column values in a varbinary (hexadecimal) state which is what we originally created:
UPDATE HumanResources.JobCandidate SET Comments = DecryptByKey(Comments) GO
But if I want to transform this varbinary(8000) column into a human-readable varchar column, the only thing I could come up with was a temp table solution:
UPDATE HumanResources.JobCandidate SET Comments = DecryptByKey(Comments) GO
DECLARE @temp varchar(1000) SET @temp = (SELECT TOP 1 CommentsFROM Human Resources.JobCandidate)
CREATE TABLE #decrypt (Comment varchar(1000)) INSERT INTO #decrypt (Comments) VALUES (@temp) GO
ALTER TABLE HumanResources.JobCandidate ALTER COLUMN Comments varchar(1000) GO
UPDATE HumanResources.JobCandidate SET Comments = (SELECT Comments FROM #decrypt) GO
Dear group,I have to replicate remote data to a SQL Server in the headquarter.The data are on a site which does not have permanent online-connectionto the headquarter.I have written a script which replicates the data and i want to set upa process / batch on the headquarter-machine which roughly does thefollowing1) Connect to the remote site2) start replication script (in fact a stored procedure)3) on success disconnect from the remote siteAll this has to run automatically e.g. during nighttime.Could someone please outline how i set up the connection and keep itup during my database-action and how to automatically disconnect aftersuccess of my replication script.I'd be jolly grateful.Thanks in advance and Greetings from ViennaUli
I have stored procedure which runs on some period, what i want is when it first run i want to store that date permanently or till the next time it runs again, and then i need to take my data from that store proc , where hist_date between (date stored when it ran first time,example, 08/21/2015) and today date.(exampple, 08/24/2015)
Now next time when it runs , date stored should be updated in this case it should be (08/24/2015) .
How can i do this in stored proc, I tried to use temp table  but it didn't work .
User A creates the SSIS Package and provides the password for the connection manager for a task (for OLE DB source) with SQL authentication.Â
When User B tries to run the SSIS package, the error is thrown as : The package may be damaged.
On typing the password again inside the connection manager, the execution occurs successfully. Is there any workaround to save the password permamanently for the connection manager rather than each user entering it in order to run the package ?

Except that now I am trying to connect and update to an Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient) via VB 2008 Express; specifically a table called €œHexMap€? that contains some columns that I am ready to insert some row data into. Here is what my program should do:
As I hover over a hexagon map of the US a red flickering hexagon follows the location of my mouse cursor. If I click on a given hexagon, the program draws a permanent blue hexagon, and sends a new set of row data into my database. Such information as the name of the state, row, column, center x, and center y, etc. Here is a quick snapshot of this program in action:

I think I am missing something since I appear to be able to connect successfully to the database table. Unfortunately, I never see the changes in the database, when I try to Show Table Data (via Database Explorer). I am hoping someone will review my code snippet (below) and tell me what I am missing. What happens when I run this code is that it acts like it works just fine, except that I have no indication that any changes were actually affected.

I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
and

Hi I have an SP, which queries a table and correspondingly outputs an ntext column. Before executing this SP. I used "save results as " option under Query analyzer tool bar. So that, when ever i execute this SP I can store the value under a file. The query is executing fine , but it is truncating the output of this ntext value. Does any body knowsfaced this issue? Iam using sql 2000 Thanks! Santhosh
Hello, I am trying to run a query select logid, count(logid) from temp2 group by logid order by logid compute sum(count(logid)) when I get the result the numbers are being truncated eg instead of 10471066 it shows 104710 so last two digits get truncated. Any ideas or hints appreciated. Thanks HP
Recently we've upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. We use a Database Maintenance Plans to backup the databases and transaction logs. Everything seems to be working, but I’m getting an error message in the event viewer that has been described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 818202 "PRB: A'Database log truncated" Error is logged in the Event Log When you try to Backup the Transaction Log. The article describes the cause of this warning, but does not give any fix or some kind of work around. Does anybody knows what to do or may be had this problem before? Please help. Thanks a lot.
say if I am doing an simple insert (50 million records) with union all into a table.... when i check it while the query is running I see some records inserted.... however, at the end i have no data... table gets truncated. Is it so because I was out of space (I checked the drives and seems like data drive is running out of space).
I am relatively new to SQL server. I am tring to send some decimalvalues to the database using a stored procedure with parameters of typeDECIMAL. Every time it inserts the values into the database thedecimals are truncated. I saw on the MSDN library that you have to setthe precision and scale values b/f you run the stored procedure. So Iset the precision to 8 and the scale to 4 and it still didn't help. Cananyone help me?

Hi,I am trying to generate an XML output form the database. I amexecutingselect * from Request_vw for xml autoThe output data is being truncated. is there a limit on the outputresult of an XML query?Thanks
I'm a newbie to Transact-SQL so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Whenever I try to divide two variables of type int, I get a result where the decimal part is truncated. Here is an example:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DIVIDE_TEST]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@VAR1 int,
@VAR2 int,
@MYRESULT dec(10,5)
SELECT @VAR1 = 10
SELECT @VAR2 = 3
SELECT @MYRESULT = (@VAR1/@VAR2)
SELECT @MYRESULT
-- @MYRESULT has decimal part truncated, Returned value = 3.00000
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitText](@input [nvarchar](max), @strDelimiter [nvarchar](10)) ....
But it is still being truncated to 8000 characters. I tried using a sqlstring or using ([SqlFacet(MaxSize = -1,IsFixedLength=false)] on the parameter and a bunch of other things, but it is still truncated to 8000.
I'm using SQL Server 2005. I have stored procedure that selects a bunch of data from different tables and returns the results using the FOR XML clause. The problem is when I'm loading the XML, I notice that after a little over 2,000 characters, the XML string is getting truncated and thus I can't load it into an XmlDocument object. I'm also using the Microsoft Enterprise Library data access block, if that makes any difference. Here's the code:
I have a standard asp.net form and a single database table that I’m trying to pass data into. There are three nvarchar fields of lengths 50, 150, and 2400. Whenever I do an insert or update it truncates all data except for the first character. So if I pass “asdfasdf�, the db field will only receive “a�.
The data going from the form is correct; it gets truncated somewhere after the ExecuteNonQuery() call.
IF EXISTS (SELECT pkCareerID FROM zak_Careers WHERE pkCareerID=@pkCareerID)
BEGIN UPDATE zak_Careers SET jobTitle=@jobTitle, postedDate=@postedDate, submitBy=@submitBy, department=@department, [description]=@description, intranet=@intranet, [public]=@public WHERE pkCareerID=@pkCareerID END ELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO zak_Careers (jobTitle, postedDate, submitBy, department, [description], intranet, [public]) VALUES (@jobTitle, @postedDate, @submitBy, @department, @description, @intranet, @public) END
Hi, I have hit a brick wall with this. My code is as below
public void fillCustomer() { string connectionString = "server='local'; trusted_connection= true; integrated security=sspi; database='Mrbob'"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection dbConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString); string queryString = "SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(); dbCommand.CommandText = queryString; dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection; System.Data.IDataParameter param_CustomerID = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter(); param_CustomerID.ParameterName ="@CustomerID"; param_CustomerID.Value = customerID;dbCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int); dbCommand.Connection.Open(); System.Data.IDataReader dataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader(); dbCommand.Connection.Close(); while(dataReader.Read()) { customerID = dataReader.GetInt32(0); date = dataReader.GetDateTime(1); eposCode = dataReader.GetInt32(2); } dataReader.Close();
}
The error I am getting is
Prepared statement '(@CustomerID int)SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = ' expects parameter @CustomerID, which was not supplied.
As you can see from my queryString the @CustomerID parameter is passed in. It seems as if the string is being truncated at 64 characters long. If I remove the paramter to pass the relevant infomration and pass in a customerID I know exists it works.
I am really stumped on this and would really appreciate any pointers
Hi! When I run a select statement, it would retrieve a product description. In some rows, it is long. Consequently, the product description was truncated. Did anybody have resulotion for this issue?
