Subject: [dba-SQLServer] DTS works like a transaction?
Message-ID: <20040503120420.94379.qmail@web90105.mail.scd.yahoo.com>

Hi group,
 
I'm creating an impact analysis for my first really big SQL server project.
I need to fire a lot (30+) sp's. I want to do this using a DTS package. I think a job is not intended for this and a job is too slow.
 
Question regarding DTS:
Does a DTS work like a transaction?
So if one SP fails will all actions rollback?
 
TIA
 
Sander

DTS can be very elaborate and very uncontrollable at the same time.  But
if you store all the calls into a SQL Task within the package and
structure each sp with proper error validation/error raising constructs,
as well as return code validation after execution of each sp, - your
package will be a smooth sailing.

Not sure what you refer to as "such a beast", but error control is
usually implemented within procedures as:

-- Within the procedure...
	begin transaction
	--...action query or DDL statement...
	if @@error != 0 begin
	   raiserror ('your custom message goes here', 15, 1)
	   rollback transaction
	   return (1)
	end
	commit transaction
	return (0)

-- Within the script of other stored procedure that calls the above...
	declare @RetVal tinyint
	exec @RetVal = sp_your_stored_procedure @param1, @param2,
param...n
	if @RetVal != 0 begin
	   -- Here you make determination whether to procede 
	   -- with the rest of the logic or terminate/divert 
	   -- the execution of the script.
	end

You're missing a closed parenthesis after:

To all,
 
Being a complete novice to HTML & ASP I bought myself a couple of books on the subjects and have been playing around with a test logon page for our company.  I have the HTML code (as below) saved as default.htm on a Windows 2000 server with IIS installed in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory along with the ASP code which is saved as checklogin.asp in the same directory.  On my Windows 98 machine at home with Personal Web Server (PWS) installed it runs fine, however when trying to run it on our server in the office it just displays the ASP code when the checklogin.asl page is called, and if you try it from a desktop it comes up with a you are about to download checklogin.asp page.
 
Has anyone any ideas whats wrong, or can point me to a list on HTML and ASP etc.

Paul,

Since this is a SQL Server forum, I doubt you will get much help for ASP 
and HTML here.

Try:
http://www.aspforblondes.com/
http://aspalliance.com/
http://www.411asp.net/
http://www.aspfree.com/
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/

All of which specialize in ASP.

I always just set up a Maintenance Plan in Enterprise Manager that controls
backups and optimizations and runs everythiing required on a nightly basis.
Have never seen the need to create backups via Access.  You could easily go
through Enterprise Manager and create a Job that does the backup then just
run that code via a Command object in VBA.

A sample backup in T-SQL looks like this:
BACKUP DATABASE [MySampleDB] TO  DISK = N'E:\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\MyBak' WITH  INIT ,  NOUNLOAD ,  NAME = N'MyTest backup',
NOSKIP ,  STATS = 10,  NOFORMAT

Paul,

I'm assuming that you have created a virtual directory, and have set
permissions. In the properties page of the virtual directory, on the virtual
directory tab, click the configuration button. On the App Mapping tab, make
sure thar the .asp extension is in the configured extension list. If not,
add it. On the App Debugging tab, ensure that the Send detailed ASP error
messages to client radio button is selected.

To all,

Being a complete novice to HTML & ASP I bought myself a couple of books on
the subjects and have been playing around with a test logon page for our
company.  I have the HTML code (as below) saved as default.htm on a Windows
2000 server with IIS installed in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory along
with the ASP code which is saved as checklogin.asp in the same directory.
On my Windows 98 machine at home with Personal Web Server (PWS) installed it
runs fine, however when trying to run it on our server in the office it just
displays the ASP code when the checklogin.asl page is called, and if you try
it from a desktop it comes up with a you are about to download
checklogin.asp page.

Has anyone any ideas whats wrong, or can point me to a list on HTML and ASP
etc.

default.htm code below:
<HTML>

            strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblUsers WHERE Username = '" &

Paul,

Since this is a SQL Server forum, I doubt you will get much help for ASP

and HTML here.

Try:
http://www.aspforblondes.com/
http://aspalliance.com/
http://www.411asp.net/
http://www.aspfree.com/
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/

All of which specialize in ASP.

Martin,
   Check out SQL-DMO as an object refrence.  You can do all that you ask 
via this interface, choose db, Backup/restore.

Here is VB6 source code to do a lot of these procedures via SQL-DMO  
from Andrea Montanari's DBAMGR MSDE SQL Server Manager tool.
http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm
In case you get lost in the Italian
Look for DbaMgr2k 0.7.0 # 26/03/2004 (832kb) VB source download, free 
but need to register
You  might want to give the full package a whirl.

Thanks Marty

Anyone want this when I have written it let me know. In theory

It will allow

User to select db to back up
Select local folder
Select network folder
Backup to both locations
Name the backup file with the db name plus the date and time of backup

of course have to do the reverse and allow them to restore as well.

Martin

I am looking at views in Access

View is on SQL Server

Works well. On edit the record works and all is well. Saves ok. 

On second edit the ODBC call fails? 

Any comments?

FrontPage server extensions are bad :-(...adds lots of overhead and can
introduce some very weird problems. Had a string of oddities but once the
extension were turned off and the server purged every thing started working
fine. Some have claimed that they can open up security holes but can not
confirm that.

I think you need to make sure that your IIS can support Frontpage Server
Extensions.  Hit those sites below for more details.

Paul,

Since this is a SQL Server forum, I doubt you will get much help for ASP

and HTML here.

Try:

All of which specialize in ASP.

This means that IIS didn't recognise the asp extension and hence couldn't
parse the code contained within.  When this occurs, it just sends you the
whole file instead.

Why does this occur?  Either IIS isn't installed or running correctly, OR it
is running correctly but the asp ISAPI 'mapping' isn't configured.

Under properties of the website -> Home Directory tab -> Configuration
Button -> ensure that asp mapping is there, pointing to the asp.dll
(c:\windows\system32\asp.dll)

A reinstall of IIS on the server will usually fix this all up for you...

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi all,

while playing around with the new reporting services for SQL Server I
stumbled
across one issue: to filter data before the report is rendered one can use
parameters.

>From what I've read in Books Online, each parameter is presented to the user
indivually.
This is not a good solution, if larger numbers of parameters are needed.

Is it possible to create a form or something the like to specify a set of
parameters
and apply them at once?


TIA,

Michael

Hello:

Sorry for this non-database post but does anyone know of a command-line ftp 
utility that supports passive mode and can automatically run a text file 
(containing FTP commands) after it starts up?

There is an FTP commandline client (ftp.exe) that ships with Windows but it 
does not support passive mode (however, it can automatically run the text 
file after startup via the -s option though).

Thanks a million in advance,

Billy

PS: If you are are interested, some command line FTP links of interest are:

create a view using some sql

View created

I name the view Vw_AssetByAssetTypeRecordset

Creates it fine

I look in EM

View name is
[MARTINREID].[BarTracks_Version15T].[dbo].[vw_AssetByAssetTypeRecordset]

View when I go to edit it is defined as

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

ALTER  VIEW
[MARTINREID_BarTracks_Version15T_dbo_vw_AssetByAssetTypeRecordset]
AS
SELECT * FROM
[MARTINREID].[BarTracks_Version15T].[dbo].[vw_AssetByAssetTypeRecordset]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

This only happened today. BEfore this it was named dbo.viewname as usual

Any ideas whats going on????

I haven't seen any replies for this to you Martin, so here is a crack at 
it..., mind you I haven't done this but I think it's easy enough to try 
it out...  I would wrap all your items w/ a delimiter (such as | (pipe)) 
into a variable and pass a single string variable to your stored 
procedure, next in the stored procedure I'd unwrap the parameter by 
looping in a while loop and inserting the values into a temp table, then 
using the temp table to inner join into my normal select statement.

The other way to do this is to use dynamic sql which I don't like 
because you end up having to give users direct select access to your 
tables... a practice that I detest.


please let me know if you need some sample code and i'll dig up some 
time to post it today :)

The following sub takes the values from two text boxes (one for the beginning date, one for the ending date), then sends them to a few sprocs and then finally opens a report.

I don't have any validation here to make sure the dates are valid, which really should be added.....

There should be enough here to get you started.




Private Sub cmdRunReport_Click()
Dim dtBegin As Date
Dim dtEnd As Date
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
Dim prm As ADODB.Parameter
dtBegin = txtBegin.Value
dtEnd = txtEnd.Value
Set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("dtBegin", adDate, adParamInput, , dtBegin)
cmd.Parameters.Append prm
Set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("dtEnd", adDate, adParamInput, , dtEnd)
cmd.Parameters.Append prm
cmd.CommandText = "dbo.spJLFilteredBBTs"
cmd.Execute
cmd.CommandText = "dbo.spJLFilteredNotPacked"
cmd.Execute
cmd.CommandText = "dbo.spJLPackageDataPack"
cmd.Execute
cmd.CommandText = "dbo.spJLPackNotFiltered"
cmd.Execute
Set prm = Nothing
Set cmd = Nothing
cmdBBTs.Enabled = True
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptBATFJeff"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview

End Sub



To send list box values you can piece something together from the following two snippets.  The first sends values from one list box to another:

Dim ctlSource As Control
Dim ctlDest As Control
Dim strFermCode As String
Dim intCurrentRow As Integer
Set ctlSource = Forms!frmFilterCodeCreate!lstCellar
Set ctlDest = Forms!frmFilterCodeCreate!lstSelected
For intCurrentRow = 0 To ctlSource.ListCount - 1
    If ctlSource.Selected(intCurrentRow) Then
        strFermCode = ctlSource.Column(3)
        strItems = strItems & ctlSource.Column(0, intCurrentRow) & ";"
        strItems = strItems & """" & strFermCode & """" & ";"
    End If
Next intCurrentRow
    ' Reset destination control's RowSource property.
ctlDest.RowSource = ""
ctlDest.RowSource = strItems
lstSelected.Requery


Here is a snippet that will loop through a multi-select list box, append a parameter, run a sproc, delete the parameter and repeat.

It is probably better for a multi-select list box to send the entire string of selected items to the sproc, parse it there and run it multiple times.

    For i = 0 To lstSelected.ListCount - 1
        intFERMID = lstSelected.Column(0, i)
        Set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("FERMID", adInteger, adParamInput, , intFERMID)
        cmd.Parameters.Append prm
        cmd.Execute
        cmd.Parameters.Delete "FERMID"
    Next

If you are using a multi-select listbox, you can always loop through the list box as such:

'Inserting records from a listbox (Looping through the listbox)
    Dim varIndex As Variant
    Dim lRecordsAffected As Long
    Dim Cnn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim Cmd As ADODB.Command
    Set Cnn = New ADODB.Connection
    Set Cnn = CurrentProject.Connection
    For Each varIndex In Me.MyListBox.ItemsSelected 'For every item selected in list box
    Set Cmd = New ADODB.Command
        With Cmd
            Set .ActiveConnection = Cnn
                .CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
                .CommandText = "stp_YourSprocHere"
                .Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@addrID", adGUID, adParamInput, , Me.lstAddrLocOrContact.Column(3, varIndex))
                Set .ActiveConnection = Cnn
                .Execute lRecordsAffected, , adExecuteNoRecords  ' Do not return a recordset
            End With
        Set Cmd = Nothing
    Next 'Loop to the next selected item
    Cnn.Close
    Set Cnn = Nothing



Another thing that I just recently did on a different form was to create a global temp table on the form open (ADP).
I am using this form as a "maintenance" screen to clear out duplicate / erroneous entries.
I Move certain records from one listbox to the next listbox by flagging a field in the temp table with a code. 
Both listboxes have the same stored procedure as the its rowsource (only sending back a different parameter, for the filter).
When I am ready to do my multi table updates with the values listed in the listbox, I do it all through T-SQL by joining against the temp table. Upon closing the form, the global temp table deletes itself. Pretty neat.

i've got a dts package. woow.. In it i've got a "execute task proces"
This proces copies a file named switch_new.xls to switch_<currentdate>.xls eg switch_11052004.xls.
 
When I run this on a local drive it works like a charm. When I run it on the server (DBA installed it for me) it doesn't work BUT it also doesn't fail. 
 
How can modify my simple script so that it creates a logfile of what it did or didn't do?!
 
TIA

Hi group,

does anybody know of some GOOD websites regarding DTS
programming? I've got several SQL Server books (for
MCSD curiculum) and they all cover DTS....it exists.
That's it, some of them cover the tasks (theoreticly)
but no examples or best practices.

Any tips for a DTS starter?

TIA

SD

Hello there,

a starter myself I have found.

Microsoft? SQL Server(tm) 2000 DTS Step by Step 

useful. 

Have the MCSD books also which are not a great deal of use for learning DTS.
Will give you the pratical guide you are looking for rather than the how to
pass the exam MCSD books.


Afraid do not know any web sites

Regards

john

Martin,

Maybe:

    CASE
        WHEN CONVERT(binary,[tblName.fieldname]) < CONVERT(binary,'Z') THEN
-1
        WHEN CONVERT(binary,[tblName.fieldname]) = CONVERT(binary,'Z') THEN
0
        WHEN CONVERT(binary,[tblName.fieldname]) > CONVERT(binary,'Z') THEN
1

Message-ID: <B408574ACAFCAE49BEE6B626C3CD9F2D4CCE07@wpamail2k.mcbassoc.com>

Employees within my company use Windows Synchronization Manager to sync
data from their locally installed SQL Server to a server on the network.
This seemed to be working fine until this past Monday.  Now it seems
that every WindowsXP machine is generating an error from Windows
Synchronization Mgr indicating that it has encountered a problem and
must close.  I am guessing that the issue has something to do with the
SQL Server on the network, and possibly Windows Updates that were
applied last week.  Has anyone else experienced this error?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Working on a major revision to SQL Server

Couple of problems still remaining.

rst.Open ("Select " & argFieldName & " FROM tblDeveloperConsole")

The above line when executed returns an error "Invalid Object Name"

'tblDeveloperConsole'


The table is there. SPs work etc etc Am I doing something wrong in how I am
trying to create the statement??? I need to pass a field name to the select
at run time. Well several in fact. The var gets it value OK but the SQL
Statement appears to be correct but isnt.

This will be converted at some point to an SP.

Martin,

The obligatory note, don't wait too long to turn it into an SP. Now
that that's out of the way... Is the owner of the table dbo or the
account that you are logging in as? Is your initial database different
from the one where your table is stored? If so, you will need to use
three part notation to specify your table.

Try adding the dbo.  prefix.

So:

rst.Open ("Select " & argFieldName & " FROM dbo.tblDeveloperConsole")

Of course this is assuming that dbo created the table.

Will give it a shot. Its a big upsize project so getting it all to work
first then its all going to SPs.

Martin,
   This sounds like a rights issue.  I'm a bit confused on why you're 
using a select in this manner.  By this I mean that it is generally 
accepted advice to NOT let users have access directly to tables.  If 
your login does not have specific "RIGHTS" to select from a table then 
of course the table won't be visible.

Got it sorted. I am testing with the SQL before moving the whole lot to SQL
Server. The entire database is run by thousands of SQL Strings. I have to
follow all the logic first to try and work out whats happening with most of
the stuff. What calls what etc then build in the specific SQL Server Sps
oncce I have worked out the logic of how it operates. Something like 50000
lines of code in this. I have many of the SPs built but cant put them in
place until I am 100% sure of the logic used in the old application. What
clode I can leave in the client and what I MUST move to the server. Its a
fairly complicated system and theres an interface to hand held scanners
which will communicate with the new SQL Server BE using XML.That should be
fun when I get to that section. Its actually very interesting as this system
in addition to all that has its own permissions system which has to remain
outisde of SQL Server. Some parts are quite hard to get but well we learn
something new every day.

The main problem is that when I replace one thing another falls over etc so
its tail chasing at the moment but getting there.

Oh yeah and its all unbound as well.

Create a Local DTS package.  Set up the first DTS Export task.  Then make
copies of that task and change what needs to be changed for the other 9
MDBs.  Then link the tasks together using On Completion arrows so that they
fire one after the other.

I'm using join filters with merge replication, and have been advised to
use the 'join_unique_key' property for best article performance.  Any
idea where I can set this property?

If you haven't yet an answer to this, I have a function that gathers and
concatenates the rows matching a particlar foreign key, which looks like
what you need. I published it as a SQL Tip a while back on the
builder.com site but if you still need it msg me and I'll fire you a

Thanks Marty

Anyone want this when I have written it let me know. In theory

It will allow

User to select db to back up
Select local folder
Select network folder
Backup to both locations
Name the backup file with the db name plus the date and time of backup

of course have to do the reverse and allow them to restore as well.

The implication is that you're going MDB->ODBC->SQL. Correct? Editing
and executing views is no problem in ADP. Just checking to be sure....

I am looking at views in Access

View is on SQL Server

Works well. On edit the record works and all is well. Saves ok. 

On second edit the ODBC call fails? 

Any comments?

In my SQL Tips column at builder.com I did this one too. You really
ought to read my stuff, Martin (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). What I wrote
is a function that returns a table from an input string consisting of a
sequence of comma-delimited values. Data type is unimportant, since it
takes advantage of SQL's ability to handle quotes around any value (i.e.
"Balance = 12345" = "Balance = '12345'"). If you want the code, msg me.

Sorry for the late response, but I've been buried under a mountain of
work lately.

SQL2000.

I have the following declaration in a stored procedure -

         declare @qs varchar(8000)

However, when I assign a string to the variable it seems to truncate at 
4000 characters.  My understanding is that varchar can have up to 8000 
characters.  Is there something I am missing?

Found the problem - I had a CAST(@txtAct2yyyymm AS nvarchar(6)) which must 
have converte dthe whole variable to nvarchar.  Changing it to varchar 
solved it.

Where are you passing the string from? Is the string unicode (which 
users two bytes per character)? If so, you may be getting an implicit 
conversion to nvarchar.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Top two of each group
Message-ID: <40B3A20F.3070000@verizon.net>

I have a little select statement, which gives me a grouping of

Model1 Frame and Week1
Model1 Frame and week2
Model1 Frame and Week3
Model2 Frame and Week1
Model2 Frame and week2
Model2 Frame and Week3
Model2 Frame and Week3
Model3 Frame and week2
Model3 Frame and Week3
... etc

I'm blanking out on collecting the TOP 2 of each model, instead of 
seeing the entire model list, How would one just collect the TOP two of 
each model type?

I can think of how to do this in a cursor, but I'd like to avoid that if 
at all possible.

Are these strings from a single column or does your "and" represent a
group and a subgroup?

I believe that might be able to be defined in your output in MaxRows or
TopValues.

I did this with a cursor in the end... :( I'm sure there IS a way to do 
this otherwise, but I haven't invested more time into it, plus this 
makes it usable it returns the recordset in under 3 seconds so it seems 
fine, tho I would prefer a NON-CURSOR approach. :\ oh well.

Here is the syntax that I used..

I do not have it with me or I would send it.  But, check out teh book "The

I realize that this question is slightly off-topic, but it DOES concern
my database server, which is running Win2K Advanced Server (for multiple
processors).

I just got Windows 2003 Server, whose installation program immediately
told me that it does not support multiple servers. Did I get the wrong
version? Or did MS stop supporting multiple servers? If the former, what
is the exact name of the product I need? (I searched some MS sites and
got no satisfactory answer.)

In short, it sounds like an upgrade is going to result in a downgrade.
Am I missing something?

TIA, and I hope this isn't too off-topic.

Multiple "server" or multiple "processors"?  There's a big difference.

It seems to me that your solution only works if you know the groups
beforehand. The problem remains, what if you don't?

I'm working on a solution so I may reply to my own reply :)

Are they Pentium IIs or Pentium Pros? If so it's possible that 2003 won't
recognize them.

Multiple CPUs, which I think I specified pretty clearly :)

Multiple "server" or multiple "processors"?  There's a big difference.

I realize that this question is slightly off-topic, but it DOES concern
my database server, which is running Win2K Advanced Server (for multiple
processors).

I just got Windows 2003 Server, whose installation program immediately
told me that it does not support multiple servers. Did I get the wrong
version? Or did MS stop supporting multiple servers? If the former, what
is the exact name of the product I need? (I searched some MS sites and
got no satisfactory answer.)

In short, it sounds like an upgrade is going to result in a downgrade.
Am I missing something?

TIA, and I hope this isn't too off-topic.

You hit the nail squarely on the head. My server is old and has a pair
of 400 Mz PIIs. I suppose I can go ahead and install it anyway, losing
support for one of the CPUs. It's only a home machine so it's not as if
I actually need the two chips.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <BAY1-F74lUUx6EfkU9X0000d0a9@hotmail.com>

Not really... if you look at it more closely, you can have more groups 
without needing to modify the code.  This is because there GROUP BY clause 
that will get the distinct values of the groups from your list and the 
subqueries will get you your top 1 and top 2 values for each group 
respectively.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Error Trapping and temp tables
Message-ID: <000a01c446e4$dc0b6a80$0101a8c0@D8TZHN0J>

Hello All,

I am developing a db and intend to use a temp table. Before use I create it and after use I drop it.

However, because I fear it may somehow remain in the system, I would prefer to do a 

If exists (table name) drop table name

But it is not that easy with temp tables, as you know, so I was considering using a vb function that attempts to drop the table, I can catch the error in vb, I hope, and ignore it.

Have you guys any better suggestions how to do this.

Basically, I want to check for the existence of a temp table and drop it if it exists.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hello All,

A guy called OJ gave me the answer it is


if object_id('tempdb..#tmp','U') is not null
print '#tmp exists'



Thanks

You should create temp tables in a temp mdb. Saves on bloat among other 
things.
