1. Hi,
   
   I have recently migrated my MS Access db to SQL Server 2005. I am using classic ASP in my application & facing problems with my code. My code for a drop down box (which populates from a database table from MS SQL Server 2005) is running dead slow. Can anyone please guide what could be the problem. The same code when run with Access database runs faster & the dropdown populates within secs, but on SQL Server 2005 it takes atleast 5 mins to populate.
   
   

   <select name="officeItemList" id="officeItemList"><option value=" " selected>Select District</option><% set rs2 = server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
   
   				 sqlgov = "SELECT DISTINCT district FROM tbl_SubDist ORDER BY district;"
   			'Set rs2 = dbConn.Execute(sqlgov)
   			RS2.Open sqlgov, DBConn,3,2
   			if not rs2.eof then
   				rs2.movefirst
   				do while not rs2.eof
   				if not rs2("district")="" then
   				%><optgroup label="<%=rs2("district")%>"><%
   			sql = "SELECT DISTINCT subdistrict FROM tbl_SubDist where subdistrict = '"&rs2("district")&"' ORDER BY subdistrict;"
   			'Set rs = dbConn.Execute(sql)
   			RS.Open sql, DBConn,3,2
   			if not rs.eof then
   				rs.movefirst
   				do while not rs.eof
   					if not rs("subdistrict")="" then
   			%><option value="<%response.Write(rs("subdistrict"))%>"><%response.Write(rs("subdistrict"))%></option><%
   					end if
   				rs.movenext
   				loop
   				rs.close
   			end if
   			%></optgroup><%end if
   				rs2.movenext
   				loop
   				rs2.close
   			end if%></select>

We have DPM and VMM running on a Windows 2008 R2. After we changed the computer, we can't logon to the SQL Server Management Studio. The login screen doesn't show the SQL Server name. It doesn't we enter the correct servername or localhost, we get Error 53 or error 2. However both DPM and VMM work fine.  How can we fix this login problem?

Thank you Morris

Hi everyone.

I have a SQL Query that works really well, but have a request that I have not been able to meet.  The query is pulling data from a customer's table as well as the SUM of associated billings in a billings table.

What I want to do is check all of the billings for this customer and IF all of a given column are "Yes", show Yes in the grid, but if one of them is "No", show No.

But I can't figure out how this should be done.  I don't want multiple rows for each invoice from the billing section, just the one.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?  I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks Again,

-Matt-

For years I've been using the results of one stored procedure in another by inserting those results into a temp table. 

However, I am working with a stored procedure that returns a result set consisting of a single scalar value.  (It is used in the code somewhere to executeScalar.)  I need to call this same stored procedure to populate a variable in my stored procedure.  (It is not my database so I am not authorized to change anything beyond what i have been specifically tasked to do.)  Currently the way I have this written is to create a single column temp table, insert the results of that execute into the temp table and do a Set @var = (Select field from #Temptable).  This was the way I did it back in SS 7.0.  It seems to me that over the past 17 years and the past 5 versions (we are using SS2008R2) that a better way of doing would have been devised. (If I had full authority to the database I would devise a scalar function that did the same thing.  But "if wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets".)   I've searched over the web, but all the results I get back talk about either doing it the same old way or using ExecuteScalar in ASP.Net. 

So is there a better way than the way I've been doing it since 1997 I would appreciate hearing about it.

Problem Description:

ODBC functions SQLExecDirectW and SQLExecute functions return error:”DIAG [22001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]String data, right truncation (0) “. When we enable tracing in the ODBC administrator, in the SQL.log we see that values for the arguments: ColumnSize, BufferLength, and StrLen_or_IndPtr of ODBC function SQLBindParameter are not being displayed.

Environment Used:

OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition.

Complier: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for x64.

Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2008

MDAC: Microsoft Data Access Components SDK 2.8

Note: This problem is seen only in our 64bit application. However, in 32bitSQLExecDirectW and SQLExecute functions return successfully.

As we could not find the values of 6^th, 9^th and 10^th arguments(ColumnSize, BufferLength, and StrLen_or_IndPtr) passed to SQLBindParameter in the ODBC traces for 64bit, we are not sure whether the values for the above mentioned arguments are received correctly by SQLBindParameter or not. This information would help us to debug further. So, could you please let us know why these values are not displayed.

1)Here is the extract of the SQL.log file for 32bit where the values for SQLULEN , SQLLEN and SQLLEN* are displayed properly:

PR0CNFG 1028-15f0 ENTER SQLBindParameter

Hi All,

My colleague and I hit one tricky problem in C#, that when accessing the local SQL Server 2012, the code works fine using "server" in the connection string, while the connection will fail and timeout when we use "Data Source". Below is the sample code:

// server:

SqlConnection sc = new SqlConnection( @"user id=sa;password=blabla;server=(local)\sql2012;database=Dummy.Database;connection timeout=30" );

// data source version:

SqlConnection sc = new SqlConnection( @"Data Source=(local)\sql2012;Initial Catalog=Dummy.Database;User=sa;Password=blabla;MultiSubnetFailover=true" );

Then the 1st will pass when calling

sc.Open( );

while the 2nd cannot. What could be the root cause of the difference?

I'm using Win7 x64 with VS2013 Premium. Great thanks :-)

By the way, using the exact same settings, and the data source version still fails.

SqlConnection sc = new SqlConnection( @"User=sa;Password=blabla;Data Source=(local)\sql2012;Initial Catalog=Dummy.Database;connection timeout=30" );

Just checked the Configuration manager, and named pipe/TCP IP/shared memory are all enabled. Firewall is on, but since I'm using localhost, the packets are looped back without touching the physical network, so should be fine?

Besides, I'm using

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Feb 10 2012 19:39:15 Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

Hi

After installing Windows 8.1 upgrade, I can't see a SQL SERVER instance.

I had Windows 8.0 Enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed and an instance named SVR12/SIMBD

All Windows 8.1 upgrade worked fine, no crashes no creepy messages

But now I can't to connect to the instance, nevertheless SQL Server Management Studio detects the instance  SVR12/SIMBD

Looking at services runnings there are a Service named SQL Server instead SQL Server (SIMDB)as before the OS upgrade

Thanks in advance for any help, I'm stuck

Hi All,

I have a requirement to be met like this:

There is a table which has data like shown:

As you can see , the names which are same should have same key. But by mistake, there is one other name ("temp2") with same key as "temp". I wan to change the key of this "temp2" to something else.

Similary there can be multiple entries like this. I want to update the key column with different value when I find that the name is not same but their key is different. Also need to make sure that the key for any of the "temp" entries are not changed.

How can I achieve this. Please help!

Thanks,

Vidya

select od.order_num from orders od

where od.order_num not in

         (select cu.order_num from customers cu) doesn't work

the other query:

select od.order_num from orders od

 where not exists

          (select cu.order_num from customers cu where cu.order_num = od.order_num) this works.

why?

borh cu.order_num and od.order_num are varchars.

Please look at this tables. How to get the data like in "Result" Table.

table 1: Invoice

Warm Regards,

I have two servers. Both of the servers have two different database that will be joined together using SQL Server Agent. However, during this activity SQL Server is throwing a Log In Failed Error. The error shows:

1. The job failed. The job was invoked by User somedomain\someuser. The last step to run was step 2 [somedatabasename]. The job was requested to start at step 1 [somejobstepname].

2. Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. Login failed for user 'somedomainname\servername'. [SQLSTATE 28000] [Error 18456]. The step failed.

Can anyone help me with this?

I have an application connecting to a back-end SQL server, last time my SQL database was destroyed, after restoring it, the application can't be opened, and I get below error, please suggest how to fix it!?

Hello All,

I have a very trivial issue.  I have an existing test table in SQL and I use DBVisualizer client to connect to the server.

I have only six records in the table that I am testing.  I have a field called "SITE".  Within this field I have the following data:

Site:

NYC

LA

BOS

I am trying to import a csv file with 6 row of records, where I have records in there where 'site' = "BOS".

But when  I try to import, I get the following error:

"Violation of Unique Key constraint 'ix1_test'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.test'."

When I try to add the records manually, SQL allows me to add all data into the row, except when I try to add "BOS" into the site field.  Then the error happens.

What I do not understand is, I imported a previous csv with nine (9) records with multiple rows of records with "BOS" in the site field and had no issues.

Why is this occurring now?

Any help would be great!

Thanks everyone!

Hi all,

I have created a database (.mdf) with SQL Server Management Studio 2008R2. The only way I know how to connect it is with the 'attach' method and all is working. My understanding is that when the database is attached you don't have to attach it again, but that is the method I am using. Correct me if I am wrong but the .mdf file could be deleted when the database is attached (so I have been told). I have looked around but it is abracadabra to a newbie like me, don't know what to look for. What is the correct connection string after the database has been attached?

Another thing is that I don't know how to password protect this database. Looked around for this bit as well, but apparently it can not be done with a .mdf?

BTW I have created this database in the Express version and I have SBS-Std 2011 as well.

You time in this is much appreciated
