I'll have a look at vmware - thanks for the tip.

After 3 days I finally got SQL Server 2005 working.

I discovered the following:

- I was running Windows XP without service pack 2. SQL Server 2005 (and Vis 
STudio 2005) require SP2, but when I installed sp2 IT BROKE the COM+ 
applications in component services.

I know that for sure because I restored to a ghost image with Win SP1, 
checked the Component services list, they were all there, installed SP2, and 
bang - they were gone.

Yet on my Del laptop (new ) Windows sp2 runs fine with SQl Server. Anyway, I 
bought a new off the shelf copy of Windows which includes SP2 and started 
again.

That solved (yahoo!) the COM error, but threw new errors. In the end my tip 
there was to install SQL Server component by component, rather than all in 
one hit (ie. first the database services, then trhe workstation components, 
then analysis services, reporting services, and integration separately.)

That worked and thought I would post for the benefit of anyone else out 
there having problems.

It's a b$#@! to install and going by the number of hits on SQl Server 2005 
install errrors with google, I'd say that most people will have trouoble 
with it unless their Windows setup is very clean. A patched Win XP SP2 is 
not the same as a new off the shelf Win XP SP2 going by this.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Percentages
Message-ID: <20060301235245.MDNL15112.omta03ps.mx.bigpond.com@DENZILLAP>

Hi All
Cross posted to AccessD list
 
Got a percentage format Q
 
Is it possible to do the calcs and display the end result as a percentage
actually in the column
rather than do the converts and formats on the form or report?
 
EG
select ac.Description, sum(s.TotalCost), '% - ????'

from InvoiceChargeSummary s 

join AccountCostCentre ac on

          s.AccountNo = ac.AccountNo

where s.InvoiceNo = @InvoiceNo

returning:

AUBURN                  50.00          20%

MELBOURNE             100.00          40%

WA                        100.00          40%

Many thanks

I think you'd have to cast it..but then it'll be a text (string) value

Assuming you have an Identity field, want to undo the INSERT immediately 
after it is committed, how about "Delete from myTable where Key = " & 
@@IDENTITY --

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Reporting Services?
Message-ID: <000001c64092$e84de620$0200a8c0@danwaters>

I have a full copy of SQL Server (from the MS 2005 Launch Event).  However,
most of my customers are smaller companies and would be just fine with SQL
Server Express.  If I create reports using the full version of SQL Server,
and implement an application that uses VB Express and SQL Server Express,
could I use reports that I created using Reporting Services based on the
full version of SQL Server?

I'm considering moving from Access FE & BE to VB Express + SQL Server
Express, and I really need to provide reports without asking my customers to
invest in a third party reporting application - like Crystal Reports.

Thanks!
Dan

Here is one that is interesting, use the flash viewer to see demo screens.

It is a flight planner for small aircraft that gathers info via multiple 
web services from things like maps, weather sites and Notams
and also hooks into the planes GPS to show what is happening in flight.
It took four guys a year to write in VB.Net

I was really thinking of something more automated like an .Undo. :)

that would be

begin transaction t1

IF @@ERROR <> 0
   BEGIN
           ROLLBACK TRANSACTION t1
  END
ELSE
  BEGIN
       COMMIT TRANSACTION t1
  END


How else would you know which transaction you'd want to uncommit?
Additionally you can always give your user a gui to review the data and
perform a DELETE FROM myTable where ID = @ID

Does anyone know the provider name for SQL Server Express? I tried SQLOLEDB,
but it didn't work. I also used (local) for the server -- perhaps that's the
problem?
 
con.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=AdventureWorks;Trusted_C

That's interesting Martin -- I had tried a few variations of the provider
name, but I hadn't expected the syntax of the statement to change. Thank
you.

Hi all
In SQL, I am using convert to basically strip the time portion from a datetime
field
 
IE in the field we have the value...01/31/2005 11:05:34AM
What I want is 31/01/2005
 
I have had minor success using Convert
EG convert (char(10), BankingDate, 101)  AS 'BankingDate',  Gives me 01/31/2005 
Cool - I have been able to strip the time but it is still in &^%$#$% North
American date format 
ie mm/dd/yyyy
 
What I want is dd/mm/yyyy - IE 31/1/2005
 
Any suggestions?
 
Many thanks
 
DD

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Convert DateTime to dd/mm/yyyy

Hi all
In SQL, I am using convert to basically strip the time portion from a
datetime field
 
IE in the field we have the value...01/31/2005 11:05:34AM What I want is
31/01/2005
 
I have had minor success using Convert
EG convert (char(10), BankingDate, 101)  AS 'BankingDate',  Gives me
01/31/2005 Cool - I have been able to strip the time but it is still in
&^%$#$% North American date format ie mm/dd/yyyy
 
What I want is dd/mm/yyyy - IE 31/1/2005
 
Any suggestions?
 
Many thanks
 
DD

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] ADOX help
Message-ID: <005801c642d9$211b46d0$ddb3d6d1@SUSANONE>

Anybody here familiar with using ADOX and SQL Server and have some free time
today? I need help completing an article -- all I would need is a few
snippets of generic code -- but I need them today. Specifically, I'd like an
example of appending a column to an existing table or appending a new table
to a database. Also, I'd like a security example -- not as specific on it --
could be as simple as appending a new user to an existing group.

Here's what I'm trying to do and can't -- I want to append a column to an
existing table, using ADOX. The code seems unnecessarily complex, and it
doesn't work. :( I don't get an error, it just doesn't work. The FOR loop
just runs through the Columns collection after the append, to see if it
worked. It really isn't part of the failing technique, because that part
works fine. The connection is fine.

Basics: FE = A2K
      BE = SQL2K

I am trying to use the code below with the accompanying stored procedure
when inserting a new record into the employee table.  Once the employee is
entered into the table I want to know the record number for this employee.

The access code for inserting the employee and returning the new id number
is:

Public Function lngAddEmployee(strEmployeeName As String, strEmployeeEmail
As String, varEmployeePhone As Variant, lngEmployeeManager As Long) As Long
Dim con As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

cmd.CommandText = "sproc_APPEND_New_Employee"
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

con = setSQLServerConnectionApplication(2, 2)
con.Open

cmd.ActiveConnection = con

cmd.Parameters.Refresh
cmd(1) = strEmployeeName
cmd(2) = strEmployeeEmail
cmd(3) = varEmployeePhone
cmd(4) = lngEmployeeManager

Set rs = cmd.Execute

lngAddEmployee = rs.Fields(0).Value

con.Close

Set rs = Nothing
Set con = Nothing
Set cmd = Nothing
End Function

I have been trying to test it using:
Sub Test()
MsgBox lngAddEmployee("Test", "TestEmail", "TestPhone", 7)
MsgBox "Finished"
End Sub

In the function it hangs on the line
lngAddEmployee = rs.Fields(0).Value

The stored procedure is the following and if I use Query Analyzer it works
just fine and returns the id of the new record.

I hate to show my ignorance -- I am truly embarrassed to have to ask such a
seemingly basic question. 
 
How do I debug a function procedure? I can't figure out how to call one so I

To all,

Sorry about the subject but didn't quite know how to word it (Friday and
getting tired now).....For an example lets say I have a query that
produces the following results:


JobDate		JobNo			Supervisors
13/03/2006	12345			Paul Hartland
13/03/2006	12345			Fred Bloggs
13/03/2006	12345			Someone Else

Because we do some large stores we can have anything upto 6
supervisors/managers on one job, the result I need to output would be
like below:

Jobdate		JobNo			Supervisors
13/03/2006	12345			Paul Hartland, Fred Bloggs,
Someone Else

Is there someway in a View or Stored Procedure that I can produce the
result above ?

Thanks in advance for any help/sample code on this.

should be technically possible to use < operator for date expressions.  
maybe it thinks either "pro.ModifiedDate" or "dte" is not a date.

Yes, I'm using T-SQL. The pro is simply a variable that represents the ADOX
Procedures collection. I declared dte as a Date data type. I'm with you
Billy -- I have never seen this kind of error when comparing dates before. 

I haven't looked at it anymore this afternoon. I'm going to test the
pro.ModifiedDate property setting and see what it's returning -- possibly
.Modified Date and Date aren't compatible? I don't know why they wouldn't
be, but it's the best I can come up with at this point. ModifiedDate may
possible be a DateTime, but you would think it would still reconcile the
difference.

P.S. Coffee is "do I want to date you" viewing time. :)

Message-ID: <01DBAB52E30A9A4AB3D94EF8029EDBE8016B246F@EXCNYSM0A1AI.nysemail.nyenet>

I am not that knowledgeable in SQL SERVER. Will become more so in the
next few months but need some help now. Thanks in advance for any help.

We have a large database in ORACLE. From this is generated a monthly
summary report that does contain calculated fields.  They have now
decided they want to create a table on an MS SQL SERVER database that
contains/matches the data in this report.

One person wants to have a special view created on the Oracle DB for
each month so that they can use an MS SQL Server WIZARD to extract this
data to Sql server. The last thing I want is to have to use a WIZARD
every month or have one non-IT person responsible to run this wizard
every month. I prefer to have things like this in a PRODUCTION ROUTINE
type mode. Either a proc or sql query/make table query that can be
scheduled to run.  

One person says they can't run a query that has calculated fields to
make a table in SQL server.  I know in ORACLE I can make a table using
query and subqueries containing pretty much any type field including
calculated fields.  Can't this also be done from a SQL SERVER database.
Granted the original data is located in another database. 

Can you send me an example on how to set this up or where to look.

Hi Patricia,

DTS is what you are after.  It would not take long to whip up a DTS
package to handle the import
from Oracle.  You can then schedule the package to run monthly.  I'd
also write a function to determine the
date range you want to import so no human intervention would be
required.

Hi Susan,

Not used VBExpress but in SQL2K you needed to 'call' the function from a
sproc to be able to step into when debugging.
Doubt that helps, but...

Not used VBExpress but in SQL2K you needed to 'call' the function from a
sproc to be able to step into when debugging.
Doubt that helps, but...

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Executing SP's
Message-ID: <20060316150840.38017.qmail@web37403.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

hi group,

I'm using SQL Server 2000.
I've developed an application that uses a lot of sp's.
To make this easy for the FE created 4 stored procedures that call 15-35 other sp's.

e.g.:
create stored proc usp_DoSomething
as
begin
exec usp_DoSomething1
exec usp_DoSomething2
exec usp_DoSomething3
exec usp_DoSomething4
end

Is there a performance penalty for this way of working?
Eg in stead of calling/executing each sp on it's own?

Regards,

Sander

As with all things, it depends...

   If you are doing a lot of searches in the back end for specific gui
display, then it makes sense to do something similar to what you are
doing.  however if certain portions of your screen will not draw until
a user clicks on them, it may make more sense to break some of the
calls up, so that each call can be snappier, plus you don't make the
backend work more than it should....

Message-ID: <39cb22f30603280858s59a46cbaw365299a2afc0c3d@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Group,

I'm out of my depth with this one, so I'm hoping that my question makes sense.

I have a client that has web sites on two separate ISP/servers.  One
site is hosted by Earthlink and it's a pretty simple half-dozen page
site with information about my client's company.  It contains a link
to a big web ASP/SQL Server application she purchased which is
accessible by members only.  That ASP/SQL application is hosted on a
separate server.

I designed the simple company information site for my client.  The
home page contains links to the other pages, of course.  One of those
other pages contains industry-related news items.  The home page
contains the headlines and links to those news items on the News page.
 Changes to the news headlines and news items is done by physically
modifying the HTML code in those pages -- the old-fashioned way.

I suggested to my client that she could have a more "dynamic" set of
news items if the information were extracted from a table in her
current SQL Server database and laid out in her company information
pages using some simple ASP/ADO routines.  So far so good.  By the
way, we're talking "classic" ASP, not ASP.NET.

I made a copy of the home page to start with and made it an ASP page
and inserted the code to open a Connection to the SQL database and a
RecordSet and so forth to extract the data, as well as the looping
code to format the pertinent industry headlines.  Well, the page runs
fine except no news headlines appear at all.  No ASP error messages,
just a little blank space where the headlines and their links to the
News page should appear.

I got on-line with Earthlink using their chat capability to talk with
a support guy.  At first I thought it might have been that I didn't
make the web site an IIS Application Starting Point.  That didn't seem
to be the issue.  But then the support guy told me that Earthlink did
not support SQL Server. He said that I could use Access tables for my
queries and that that would work fine.

Here's my question:  Since Earthlink supports Access in an ASP
application, does that mean that they simply did not install the SQL
Server ADO library or object handlers or whatever it's called, and
that their statement that they do not support SQL Server means just
that?  Why on earth would a big outfit like that NOT install SQL
Server ADO capabilities?  It doesn't make sense.

Steve,

There is more to it than that.

They would have to install SQL Server.  And since they do not have it available,
why would they install any drivers for it?  Most of the inexpensive ISPs are on
Linux and would not support SQL Server, only MySQL.

If you want SQL Server and ASP/ASP.Net capabilities, here is a shameless
advertisement...   go to http://www.WeBeDb.com and check out the 2nd lowest
level package.  I say shameless advertising because I own the site I am sending
you to.  I put together the hosting idea about a year ago as affordable SQL
Server hosting plans for people that need it.  This is Windows 2003 based with
SQL Server 2000 and 2005 available.

Need to see your connection code to SQL, it could be your ADO call isn't 
"Server.CreateObject"
Guy is talking a bit odd, you can connect to a remote SQL Server via ADO 
and ASP
I have done it via a WAP server to an ASP site to a Remote SQL server 
each on a different continent
He is probably confusing not having a SQL Server access on site. If he 
supports Access
he has to use ADODB.

here is some sample ASP code to check what server objects are available 
on the ISP site
Note ADODB.Connection and Recordset available.

Marty,

Excellent!  I *thought* the guy was talking out of his hind end, but
you dasn't say that to a technical support guy!

I'm very likely doing something wrong with the connection string. 
Thanks again.  I'll keep looking.

I am following the information in the book "Reporting Services in Action" - by
Teo Lachev
I am interested in the bit that gives users access to certain reports in a
'folder'
Chapter 8 Securing Reporting Services
 
The chapter tells the reader to create the individual User Groups and Users in
the OS
So...The Rep Services permissions for a user or a group (mostly) are given at
the OS level
In this case the OS is Small Business Server 2003 - This is where the Reporting
Services SQL dB is as well 
 
So...I create user Groups via the OS and then create users via the OS and make
them members of that group
Then in reporting services I give users or groups access to a folder or report
as per Chapter 8
 
Then when I logon as that user or group, I see a blank (almost) web page - 
IE I don't see either the folder or any of the Reports I have granted access to
for that user
 
I think the problem is at the OS Permissions level
The reason I think this is...
When I add a user and add them to the Administrators group for the OS
then logon to RepServices as that user - viola - I can see it all
 
If I then remove that user from the Administrator group and just leave them as a
member of the
group I just created for them - I see 'nothing' when I logon again a them
 
Any one come across this?
 
Any suggestions?
 
Many thanks in advance

Marty,

I went through my copy of "ASP in a Nutshell and added another 20 or
so objects to your list, like CDONTS.xxx and ADODB.Record.

All 9 of the ADODB objects are installed except Field and Property.

I have now experimented with the debugging code for VBScript I found
somewhere (4 Guys from Rolla?) and have listed all the Connection
Object Properties Collection data-provider-specific properties.  There
are 93 properties and they contain things like:

DBMS Name: Microsoft SQL Server
DBMS Version: 08.00.2039
OLE DB Version: 02.70
Provider Version: 08.10.9042

And now!  The Recordset opens and contains data and it displays on the
page!  Take THAT Earthlink!!!

Hey, Marty, thanks a lot!
