Message-ID: Hello: I need someone to clarify database mirroring for me. How many copies of sql server do I need to configure a database mirroring session involving three separate servers (that includes a witness server)? The scenario is this: in the quorum, there are three servers: the principal server, the mirror server and the witness server. the principal server has the original db; the mirror server has a copy of the db on principal server; the witness server watches both the principal server and the mirror server. If the principal server goes down, the witness automatically tells the mirror server to take over as principal server, a process that takes 3 seconds. To establish the mirror session for all three servers, according MS eLearning course 2938, I perform the following: For the principal server's participation in the quorum: 1) from the principal server, I run the alter database statement on the original db For the mirror server's participation in the quorum: 2) from the mirror server, I run the alter database statement on the mirror db For the witness server's participation in the quorum: 3) from the PRINCIPAL server, I run the alter database statement on the original db Given step 3), I can't tell if I need 2 or 3 copies of sql server (ie. do I need a copy of sql server on the witness server?) Am I missing something here?

The first part of the query Selects into a # temp table and the second part of the query Selects from the # temp table. The user wants this query run on a scheduled basis with the results placed in an Excel file out on the network where they can pick it up. I created a DTS package with the query as its source and the excel file as its destination. When I execute the DTS package, I get the following error: DTSRun OnError: Create Table Results Step, Error = -2147217900 (80040E14) Error string: Syntax error in field definition. Error source: Microsoft JET Database Engine Help file: Help context: 5003292 Error Detail Records: Error: -2147217900 (80040E14); Provider Error: -537398753 (DFF7F21F) Error string: Syntax error in field definition. Error source: Microsoft JET Database Engine Help file: Help context: 5003292 If I create a DTS package only using the first part of the query (removing the INTO # portion), it works. One thing I notice that is different between the 2...the DTS wizard creates a SQL command to create a table that it names Results. In the first scenario (with temp table), the Create Table SQL has no columns....in the second scenario, the SQL command looks like a complete Create Table command.

If you are using a Linux server to set this up on, I'd be more than happy to help. If you are setting this up on a MS server, I'll be more than happy to give what help I can, but I don't have any experience with MS servers. I can also do web coding.

The U.S. has a?work made for hire? rule that confers authorship status on employers for works prepared by employees in the scope of their employment. This rule starkly contrasts with rules in Continental Europe where, in deference to the cultural importance of authorship, employees are treated as ?authors? and therefore as the initial owners of exclusive rights in works they produce. Then differences get hairy very quickly. Europe and UK has moral rights and redistribution rights that differ from country to country. Personality rights ? authors' rights in Germany, where the publisher is considered to enjoy a "personal right" to speak in the name of the author Equitable remuneration ? inalienable right to additional payment in return for giving up certain types of right (such as the "rental right") in relation to sound recordings or films These don't exist in US. The UK and I think Denmark have similar work for hire rules as the US. Other oddities, are one I remember vaguely a US company hires a Russian company with full agreement of "work for hire" The US side defaults on payment after paying only 10%, the Russian firm completes the project hoping to resolve the payment. Still no payment but the US firm still holds the legal copyright. as it is deemed to transfer copyright at the beginning. The Russsian company can sue to regain copyright in US but it would be cheaper to buy it back from US firm. Your contract should stipulate which countries laws have jurisdiction if a disagreement Generally it is not in the enforcing parties country.. Public domain doesn't exist in UK, you can't give away a copyright. Moral Rights vary all over europe and may not apply to computer code They cannot be transfered. They are generaly To be identified as the author; To object to derogatory treatment of the work; Very limited right of privacy (photographs and films); and Not to have a work falsely attributed to oneself Moral rights may allow you to invoke, if an employed or commissioned author who has good reason to believe that his work has been insufficiently tested, his "droit de divulgation" which should be used to prevent premature delivery to unsuspecting customers. Personal liability for a defective software package should complement this moral right as a moral obligation. In the UK I think you have to explicitly assign the copyright in writing , with some exceptions to Crown copyright, generally this would be done in an employment contract. Ahh I knew I would find it somewhere, I couldn't remember the difference in copyright between work for hire and commisioned works for the UK. For commisioned works and no designation or assignation of rights in UK, there is an implied licence of fair use. to the commissioner but doesn't allow resale. Creator retains copyright. Who owns copyright in a commissioned work? UK http://www.intellectual-property.gov.uk/std/faq/copyright/commiss_work.htm If you need a Canadian lawyer UK trained in IP law , I can pass you along an Email address.

The SELECT result would display correctly, not present an error when trying to INSERT but produce a rather bazaar result. Your solution would have fixed the error.

Is it the query client from Peoplesoft? I googled "PS Query" and it appears that it is "A query building tool provided by Peoplesoft. It allows users to build and run SQL (Structured Query Language) statements (queries) to extract specific information from the Peoplesoft database." I just need a second opinion to confirm that "PS Query" is peoplesoft query client. Also, does anyone have any good URL links regarding "PS Query"?

Declare @T TABLE(Field1 Varcar(8), Field2 INT) then just INSERT INTO @T and finally select. When playing with exporting data sometimes using a variable table (virtual table) helps.
