I have a SP which return several tables:

CREATEPROCEDURE [dbo].[USP_ExternalInterface_PersonalInfo_Select]--@Id nvarchar(19)ASBEGINSELECT * FROM Career --WHERE Id=@IdSELECT * FROM Education --WHERE Id=@Id--...END

 And my C# code like below:

      SqlDataAdapter adp=new SqlDataAdapter(commandText,connectionString);
      DataSet ds=new DataSet();

      adp.FillSchema(ds, SchemaType.Source);
      adp.Fill(ds);

      foreach (DataTable dt in ds.Tables)
      {
        Console.WriteLine(dt.TableName);
      }

I want get real table names such as (Career, Education), but not (Table, Table1)

I hope I´ve made a good explication and you can help me. Thanks

Hello sir,

We have data requirement  to validate data in staging server before push the changes into production server.So we need database refreshment in staging server from latest copy from production server.This activity needs every month.

--What is the best method for database refreshment in every 20 days in staging(It is taking 10 hours).Database size is 1 TB.

--I have planned to configure log shipping on production server and make staging as secondary.

--Already we have log shipping set up on production server which is for disaster recovery.

--If do again log shipping set up on top of existing log shipping is there any issues or does not support?

Please advise better solution so that I minimize the time consuming for database refreshment in every 20 days.

Cheers,

I am trying to set  a trigger and have the trigger execute as a particular user, 'USER_A". "USER_A" exists as a user in the database(DATABASE_A). The trigger involves querying a table (TABLE_B) in another database(DATABASE_B). I therefore go to the SQL instance level and give "USERA" access to DATABASE_B. USER_A also exist in DATABASE_B with SELECT prermission on TABLE_B. However, when runing the trigger, I get the error 

The server principal "USER_A" is not able to access the 
database "DATABASE_B" under the current security context.

My trigger looks like

ALTER TRIGGER triggername ON TableName
 with execute as "USER_A" 
AFTER INSERT AS 
BEGIN
DECLARE @var varchar(20)SELECT TOP 1 @var = columnname FROM DATABASE_B.dbo.TABLE_B
END

How can I fix this please?

Hi everyone.  I'm sorry to have to post on here about this, but I can't seem to figure out why this would be doing this.

I have the following SQL SELECT, which works perfectly.

SELECT Jobs.ID, Jobs.CustomerID AS [CustomerID], Jobs.ReferralID AS [ReferralID], Jobs.ReferralType, Jobs.AgentID AS [AgentID], Jobs.AdjusterID AS [AdjusterID], Jobs.EstimatorID AS [EstimatorID], Jobs.ManagerID AS [ManagerID], Jobs.JobType, COALESCE(NULLIF(Customers.Company,'') + ' - ','') + Customers.LName + ', ' + Customers.FName AS [Name], Jobs.InsuranceCompany, Jobs.DateReceived, 

MAX(BillingBid.DateCreated) AS [Bid Date], 

SUM(Billing.Amount) AS [Amount], 

StaffEstimator.FName + ' ' + StaffEstimator.LName AS [EstimatorName], StaffManager.FName + ' ' + StaffManager.LName AS [ManagerName], 

Jobs.JobStatus  

FROM Jobs LEFT OUTER JOIN Customers ON Customers.ID = Jobs.CustomerID 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Staff AS StaffEstimator ON StaffEstimator.ID = Jobs.EstimatorID 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Staff AS StaffManager ON StaffManager.ID = Jobs.ManagerID  

LEFT OUTER JOIN Billing AS BillingBid ON Jobs.ID = BillingBid.JobID AND BillingBid.BillingType = 'Bid' 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Billing ON Billing.JobID = Jobs.ID AND Billing.BillingType = 'Invoice' AND Billing.InvoiceCanceled = 'No' 

WHERE Jobs.JobStatus = 'Active' AND (Jobs.DatePended IS NULL OR Jobs.DatePended <= '9/27/2014') 

GROUP BY Jobs.ID, Jobs.CustomerID, Jobs.ReferralID, Jobs.ReferralType, Jobs.AgentID, Jobs.AdjusterID, Jobs.EstimatorID, Jobs.ManagerID, Jobs.JobType, Customers.Company, Customers.LName, Customers.FName, Jobs.InsuranceCompany, Jobs.DateReceived,  StaffEstimator.FName, StaffEstimator.LName, StaffManager.FName, StaffManager.LName, Jobs.JobStatus   

ORDER BY Name Asc

So I added that to the SQL Select like this:

SELECT Jobs.ID, Jobs.CustomerID AS [CustomerID], Jobs.ReferralID AS [ReferralID], Jobs.ReferralType, Jobs.AgentID AS [AgentID], Jobs.AdjusterID AS [AdjusterID], Jobs.EstimatorID AS [EstimatorID], Jobs.ManagerID AS [ManagerID], Jobs.JobType, COALESCE(NULLIF(Customers.Company,'') + ' - ','') + Customers.LName + ', ' + Customers.FName AS [Name], Jobs.InsuranceCompany, Jobs.DateReceived, 

MAX(BillingBid.DateCreated) AS [Bid Date], 

SUM(Billing.Amount) AS [Amount], 

StaffEstimator.FName + ' ' + StaffEstimator.LName AS [EstimatorName], StaffManager.FName + ' ' + StaffManager.LName AS [ManagerName], MAX(Communications.DateCreated) AS [Last Contact], 

Jobs.JobStatus  

FROM Jobs LEFT OUTER JOIN Customers ON Customers.ID = Jobs.CustomerID 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Staff AS StaffEstimator ON StaffEstimator.ID = Jobs.EstimatorID 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Staff AS StaffManager ON StaffManager.ID = Jobs.ManagerID 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Communications ON Jobs.CustomerID = Communications.ContactID  AND Communications.ContactType = 'Customers' 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Billing AS BillingBid ON Jobs.ID = BillingBid.JobID AND BillingBid.BillingType = 'Bid' 

LEFT OUTER JOIN Billing ON Billing.JobID = Jobs.ID AND Billing.BillingType = 'Invoice' AND Billing.InvoiceCanceled = 'No' 

WHERE Jobs.JobStatus = 'Active' AND (Jobs.DatePended IS NULL OR Jobs.DatePended <= '9/27/2014') 

GROUP BY Jobs.ID, Jobs.CustomerID, Jobs.ReferralID, Jobs.ReferralType, Jobs.AgentID, Jobs.AdjusterID, Jobs.EstimatorID, Jobs.ManagerID, Jobs.JobType, Customers.Company, Customers.LName, Customers.FName, Jobs.InsuranceCompany, Jobs.DateReceived, Communications.DateCreated, StaffEstimator.FName, StaffEstimator.LName, StaffManager.FName, StaffManager.LName, Jobs.JobStatus   

ORDER BY Name Asc

Unfortunately, while I am asking for the MAX Communication that matches the Left Join, it is returning ALL of the Communications that match the Left Join...

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?  No matter what I do I get the same result and I don't see anything wrong with the SQL Select...  I'm sure I'm missing something stupid...

Thanks for your help,

Hi there.  I am trying to read data a small number of rows of data from either a Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server (whichever is being used) as quickly as possible.  I have connected to the database using the ODBC API's and have run a select statement using a forward-only, read-only cursor.  I can use either SQLFetch or SQLExtendedFetch (with a rowset size of 1) to retrieve each successive row and then use SQLGetData to retrieve the data from each column into my local variables.  This all works fine.

My goal is to see if I can improve performance incrementally by using SQLExtendedFetch with a rowset size greater than 1 (block cursor).  However, I cannot figure out how to move to the first of the rowset returned so that I can call SQLGetData to retrieve each column.  If I were using a cursor type that was not forward-only, I would use SQLSetPos to do this.  However, using those other cursor types are slower and the whole point of the exercise is to see how fast I can read this data.  I can successfully read the data using a block forward only cursor if I bind each column to an array in advance of the call to SQLExtendedFetch.  However, that has several drawbacks and is documented to be slower for small numbers of rows.  I really want to see what kind of speed I can achieve using a block, forward-only, read-only cursor using SQLGetData to get each column.

Here is the test stub that I created:

        ' Create a SELECT statement to retrieve the entire collection.
        selectString = "SELECT [Year] FROM REAssessmentRolls"

        ' Create a result set using the existing read/write connection.  The read/write connection is used rather than
        ' the read-only connection because it will reflect the most recent changes made to the database by this running
        ' instance of the application without having to call RefreshReadCache.
        If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleDbcError(SQLAllocStmt(gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, selectStmt), gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
            GoTo LoadExit
        End If
        Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CONCURRENCY, SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
        Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CURSOR_TYPE, SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
        Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_ROWSET_SIZE, MAX_ROWSET_SIZE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
        If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExecDirect(selectStmt, selectString, Len(selectString)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
            GoTo LoadExit
        End If

        ' Cursor through result set.  Each time we fetch data we get a SET of rows.
        sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
        Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)

            ' Read all rows in the row set
            For row = 1 To rowsFetched
                If rowStatus(row - 1) = SQL_ROW_SUCCESS Then
                    sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetPos(selectStmt, row, SQL_POSITION, SQL_LOCK_NO_CHANGE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
                    Call clsODBCDatabase.SQLGetShortField(selectStmt, 1, assessmentRollYear(row - 1))
                    Console.WriteLine(assessmentRollYear(row - 1).ToString)
                End If
            Next

            ' If the rowset we just retrieved contains the maximum number of rows allowed, there could be more data.
            If rowsFetched = MAX_ROWSET_SIZE Then ' there could be more data
                sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
            Else
                Exit Do ' no more rowsets
            End If

        Loop  ' Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)

The test fails on the call to SQLSetPos.  The error message I get is "Invalid cursor position; no keyset defined".  I have tried passing SET_POSITION and also SET_REFRESH.  Same error.  There has to be a way to do this!

Thank you for your help!

Thank You! - Andy

I AM UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SQL INSTANCE INSTALLED ON WINDOWS SERVER 2008 FROM A NETWORKED XP CLIENT

I AM ABLE TO CONNECT VIA ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT ON BUT NOT ABLE TO CONNECT VIA DOMAIN OR LOCAL USER ID

I AM ABLE TO CONNECT FROM  MY LAPTOP WHICH HAS WINDOWS SERVER 2008 ALSO INSTALLED.

I created a FileStream enabled table in a SQL2008 database, and populated some rows into it, from a SQL2000 table storing image. It's fine.

Then I wrote a WPF application in C#, trying to access the filestream data as below code snippet:

      SqlConnection sqlConn = null;
      SqlTransaction sqlTran = null;
      try
      {

        // ids_static_imagesTableAdapter was defined by SQL SELECT statement:

        // SELECT TOP (@x) image_name, image, image.PathName() AS image_path FROM dbo.ids_static_images

        ids_static_imagesTableAdapter imgTa = new ids_static_imagesTableAdapter();
        sqlConn = imgTa.Connection;
        sqlConn.Open();
        idsxi2011imageDataSet.ids_static_imagesDataTable imgDt = imgTa.GetData(10);
        sqlTran = sqlConn.BeginTransaction();
        SqlCommand cmdGetFsTxCtx = sqlConn.CreateCommand();
        cmdGetFsTxCtx.CommandText = "SELECT GET_FILESTREAM_TRANSACTION_CONTEXT()";
        cmdGetFsTxCtx.Transaction = sqlTran;
        byte[] fileStreamTxCtx = (byte[])cmdGetFsTxCtx.ExecuteScalar();
        foreach (idsxi2011imageDataSet.ids_static_imagesRow imgRow in imgDt)
        {
          SqlFileStream imgSqlFileStream = new SqlFileStream(imgRow.image_path, fileStreamTxCtx, FileAccess.Read);
          Add(new ImageFile(imgRow.image_path, imgRow.image_name, imgSqlFileStream));
        }
        sqlTran.Commit();
      }
      finally
      {
        if (sqlConn != null && sqlConn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
        {
          sqlConn.Close();
        }
      }

The SqlFileStream constructor throws error, states 'The network path was not found'.

FYR, when I run the following SQL statement in SSMS:
SELECT TOP 1 image.PathName() AS image_path FROM dbo.ids_static_images
result as below:
\\XISERVER\MSSQLSERVER\v1\idsxi2011image\dbo\ids_static_images\image\3B121497-07E6-4568-9DDC-EFEAA57BE6AA

Any idea?

We have a test db, a staging db and a live db.  I have a stored procedure that runs fine on test and staging, but throws the following error on live. 

I found the following link which seems to be the problem we're experiencing

I am executing a prepared DELETE statement on an array or parameters. The problem is with getting the number of rows affected (deleted) by each of the parameter set. According to the documentation[1], whether this information is available is determined by the SQL_PARAM_ARRAYS_ROW_COUNTS property as returned by SQLGetInfo. If the value of this property is SQL_PARC_BATCH, then the individual counts should are available.

While the SQL Server native client returns SQL_PARC_BATCH, the behavior I am observing is exactly the opposite. That is, the first call to SQLRowCount returns the total number of affected rows by all the elements in the array of parameters. And calling SQLMoreResult gets me SQL_NO_DATA.

Also, the documentation for SQLRowCount from the Native Client ODBC reference[2] seems to imply that this function returns the total count.

So that's the inconsistency that I am observing. Can someone from the ODBC product team confirm that only total count is available? Also, if you can suggest a way to get individual counts, that would be very helpful.

Hi! Please help me to understand if possible. I am migrating from accdb (Access 2007) to MSSQL BE and trying to rewrite queries due to performance problem. My question is that I need to use Stored Procedure and call it from Access. I created simple stored procedure as a test:

CREATE PROC Test1 (@Param AS INT)

I currently implemented the use of certificates for SP's and have a question on how to get the account mapped to a linked server.

http://www.sommarskog.se/grantperm.html

When I run the stored procedure in SSMS it runs fine but when I add it to a job and make the job owner a non sysadmin, I get the following error.

 Linked servers cannot be used under impersonation without a mapping for the impersonated login. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7437).  The step failed.

When I try and add the login to linked server impersonation it fails and says the account doesn't exist. A lot of the stored procedures that are signed with a certificate use a linked server connection.  

Thanks!

Hi guys,

If I load Microsoft SQL Report Builder on the BI Server, I am able to create a dataset against the OLAP Cube I created on the BI Server, however if I try to run the Report Builder from a different server I get the following error:

"Unable to connect to data source 'MyOLAPCube'.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.20.112.82:2382

------------------

A connection cannot be made to redirector.  Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running."

I have had no issues starting the SQL Browser service, however if I try to run it in console mode, I get the following error:

'SQLBrowser: Warning: failed starting OLAP redirection services with error 1.'

I have checked online and seen a few similar issues online however I haven't been able to resolve my issue with their resolution.

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks

Need some help here.. we're encountering an msdtc error 1206 when we do inserts from entity framework into SQL Server 2012

Initially we had the error "There was an error reading from the pipe".

We do not have any more info on this, but maybe some of you already had this error...

Thanks,
