Hi

I would like to download SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition, could anyone help me with the link

Hi All,

I have a query which contains Order quantity, order date and Row_number as Id. The below code produces 15 records as well as row_number for those 15 records. But I need row number for the next 12 months too. That means I need 12 more records with row_number and Order month and order quantity empty.

use [AdventureWorksDW2012]
go

SELECT
  SUM([OrderQuantity]) As OrderQuantity
 ,CONVERT(DATE,[OrderDate]) As OrderDate
 ,LEFT(d.[EnglishMonthName],3) + '-' + CONVERT(CHAR(4),YEAR([OrderDate])) As OrderMonth
 ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY([OrderDate])) As Id
FROM [dbo].[FactResellerSales] f
JOIN [dbo].[DimProduct]   p ON f.ProductKey = p.ProductKey
JOIN [dbo].[DimDate]   d ON f.OrderDateKey = d.DateKey
WHERE OrderDate >= '2006-04-01' AND EnglishProductName = 'Road-650 Red, 60'
GROUP BY p.[ProductKey], [OrderDate],[EnglishMonthName]

How can I achieve it?

Regards,

Julie

Hi Everyone!

Please help me to restore a backup from a server to another server.

Production Database used SQL Server 2000. We used SQL server 2012 in the office for the backup of data. According to google I need to restore first the backup DB from 2000 to 2008 R2, then make a backup using 2008 R2, done. Then restore the 2008 R2 backup DB to 2012, done.  I restored backup DB from SQL server 2000 to 2012.

I used FULL BACKUP of the DB in the above steps.

PROBLEM: What if the backup data from the production site is in Incremental data backup and it will be transferred using FTP? I have no idea in this type of backup.

How to restore it from 2000 to 2012?

Your help will be much appreciated! CHEERS! :))

Hi

I have recently upgraded my SQL server to 2014 express from 2012. I coped out a database .mdf so that i could attach it after. It attaches ok and i can view the database inside SQL server no problem but whwn i make a data connection to it through visual studio 2013, i get this error-

During the Data connection wizard, i click "Test Connection" and it succeeds just fine. Im guessing it somethingto do with 2014 being Version 12 and my database being version 11.

How can i get this database connection to work?

Thanks

I am fairly new to MS SQL and SSRS and am hoping to get some info on the correct steps to take while moving forward.

I was provided with MS SQL server 2008 R@ as part of project along with the SSRS functionality to fulfill a reporting need that i had on this project.

I was a little confused with the lack of options in the Visual studio 2008 that was part of this package, but was reassured by those who provided it that it would do everything i needed. I therfor econtinued to move forward.

I successfully set up the databases and tables and have created about a dozen or so reports with SSRS. Once this was done i had a need to create a user interface for some data manipulation as well as manual data entry. The visual studio version i have, that came with MS SQL Server 2008 did not have these features. I was trying to use c#.

I was told to get a free version of C# by downloading Visual studio Epxress 2013. I did this, and used C# to crate a few Windows forms for the above requirements.

Once the forms were done and the all the data was verified i felt it was a good time to set-up automatic back-ups on my database now that it was actually being used. I found that the "free" version did not supprot automatic back-ups and i would need to purchase an licensed version. I was recommended ot purchased MS SQL Servers 2014 and i am now installing that.

While I was waiting for this purchase to take place ( i work for the government ;-(, i figured i would take a look at my options for setting up the subscriptions on SSRS to auto dispatch my reports on a schedule. I found out that that feature is not supported on the Free version that i received with MS SQL 2008.

I stopped working on this and figured i might as well set up the SSRS manager and get the reports on our network so they can be used, no problem there, except that i have so functionality for printing the reports or viewing them in page view, or e-mailing them. I am assuming this is due to the "Free" software.

Since this was not working, i decided to jsut try and link my Win Form to the SSRS and use it to print them, and i now know that the express version does not have the ability to work with SSRS.

Long story longer, all this "free" software and advice is getting old and i would like to just buy what i need

I know i need the following "features":

Back-up feature for MS SQL (hoping that this is being taken care of with the update to 2014)

One Visual studio software that will let me use SSRS to create reports as well as use C# to create Win forms, but also offer some flexibility in the future with new requirements. I don't know what those requirements might be since i am fairly new at this, but i don't mind buying a little more than i need at this point, since the "free" stuff is only giving me headaches.

Ability to trigger report printing via a Win Form as well as create small reports in a win Form.

Will the SSRS that comes with my new "licensed" 2014 version of MS SQL Server allow me to have the full functionality of SSRS, for example access to subscriptions, email protocol to e-mail reports and access to the basic buttons on the Web banner that let me view reports in page view as well print and the other basic  features that i got used to using when i was in preview mode in VS 2008 while i was building my reports.

Thank You in advance to anyone who can offer some direction or advice.

My disk is running out of space and as a result I decided to free some space by deleting old data. I tried to delete 100,000 by 100,000 as there are 240 million records to be deleted. But I am unable to delete them at once and shrinking the database doesn't free much space. This is the error im getting at times.

The transaction log for database 'TEST_ARCHIVE' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

Hi All,

I'm trying to automate the "Maintenance plan". I was able to do it through GUI by logging into SQL studio.

But, I'm supposed to automate by embedding the SQL command into jython.

Would be greatfull if somebody can provide me complete steps for maintenance plan.

Below is the Maintenance plan I'm expecting for:

My question is related to the definition of “device” as this term is used in the PUR for SQL Server 2014 Standard. We are currently using per-core licensing but would like to find out if Server+CAL would be appropriate.

Our system includes a server (Linux based) that collects data from utility meters, such as residential and commercial electric, gas and water meters. This Linux-based server then loads the collected data into a SQL Server database using a batch process.

Question: are these meters considered ‘devices’ for the purpose of PUR and do they require a CAL for each meter?

Thanks,

Vlad

HI 

I hope you're having a great day today. 

I have installed SQL Server 2008 Express edition today and I would connect it to my web site project with is running on Visual web developer 2008 but I couldn't do it. When I press connect to database a new windows opens and then I should choose Microsoft sql server and then in other new window so I must choose server name which is exact my problem and I cannot see my computer's name so I am not able to add this tool to my site. I attached some pic so you can understand me easier. 

If you clikck the below link so you can see the screen shot what I mean exactly.

Please, guide me what will be consideration points ..

Regarding Reporting Services ..

also TSQL support ..

Help must appreciated ..

I understand how to use EXCEPT and INTERSECT BUT how Do use it with two different servers?  I have the production database on server1, the conversion database on server2. The databases are identical EXCEPT there is more (new) data in CONVERSION.

I want one query that properly coded returns the differences between production and conversion. I expect to run EXCEPT first (PRODUCTION on left, CONVERSION on right), then I will run INTERSECT (PRODUCTION on left, CONVERSION on right).

How do I get the full network path: SERVER/DATABASE/TABLE?

USE SERVERNAME1.PRODUCTION;

SELECT person_id
	,person_name
FROM person_detail AS x

USE SERVERNAME2.CONVERSION;

SELECT person_id
	,person_name
FROM person AS y

GO

SELECT *
FROM x

EXCEPT

SELECT *
FROM y;

I've come across an issue where large numbers of statistics (some user created, some auto created) in a database have no Updated value when using the SHOW_STATS system function, but do exist when I search for them in sys.stats.  These statistics sometimes belong to non-clustered indexes on the table, and sometimes don't (i.e., they just belong to the columns).  Additionally, if I run DBCC SHOW_STATISTCS no data is returned for these particular stats.  They exist, but have no zero statistical data and I can't tell if they were ever updated.

Couple question:

1) How does this happen?

2) Is this an indication of a problem (i.e., are these "orphaned statistics")?

3) Does this suggest they should be dropped since they clearly serve no purpose.

Thanks!

Hi

I need to run the debug to a store procedure in sqlserver, but from remote server (database server), if the database is local not problem, but if the database is in other server throw an error of debug.

 What can i do?

thank you

Hi following is a working code

declare @dte as datetime='2015-04-01'
declare @StDt as Datetime = DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,@dte), 0)
declare @EnDt as datetime = DATEADD( DD, -1, DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,@dte) + 1, 0));
DECLARE @query AS NVARCHAR(MAX);
create table #bus_master(bus_id int,bus_name varchar(50),uname varchar(50))
insert into #bus_master values(100,'A','lekshmi')
insert into #bus_master values(101,'B','lekshmi')
insert into #bus_master values(102,'C','lekshmi')
insert into #bus_master values(103,'D','krishna')
insert into #bus_master values(104,'E','krishna')
insert into #bus_master values(105,'F','krishna')
create table #busdetails( bus_id int,tour_date datetime,status varchar(10))
insert into #busdetails values(103,'2013-10-01','booked')
insert into #busdetails values(102,'2013-10-01','booked')
insert into #busdetails values(100,'2013-10-02','booked')

;WITH Dates AS(
    SELECT DATEADD( DD, ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) - 1, @StDt) Month_date
    FROM (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0))E(N),
         (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0))E2(N)
)
SELECT @Query =  'SELECT m.bus_id  as ID ' + CHAR(13)+ (SELECT CHAR(9) + ',MAX( CASE WHEN tour_date = ''' + CONVERT( CHAR(8), Month_date, 112) + ''' THEN status END) AS ' + QUOTENAME( CONVERT( char(2), Month_date, 103)) + CHAR(13)
        FROM Dates
        WHERE Month_date BETWEEN @StDt AND @EnDt
        ORDER BY Month_date
        FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE).value('.','varchar(max)')+ '
    FROM #bus_master m
    LEFT
    JOIN busdetails b ON m.bus_id = b.bus_id
    GROUP BY m.bus_id  '
execute(@Query)
drop table #bus_master
drop table #busdetails

iam getting the ouput correctly
my requirement is i want to write a condition
here
JOIN busdetails b ON m.bus_id = b.bus_id
i want to write this statement as
JOIN busdetails b ON m.bus_id = b.bus_id and m.uname='lekshmi'
when i tried this code iam getting error
how to solve this

I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The installation is failing. I get two log files. The first appears to be a summary. The second is an MSI install log file. The MSI log is too large to paste in here and I cannot attach files, so I included the section where it appears to fail.

hi,

         I have encountered a doubt while I was reading about dynamic management objects.how would we relate these objects into practical usage.

when i have executed the above  queries ,the textbook suggested me to look for some particular columns but how could i remember them and practice towards a realtime application....could anyone help me out with this..? 

thank you.!!!

Version: SQL 2008 R2

Problem: I have a user who wants to remove table, but when she tries to remove it ( drop the table), she gets an error:

===========================================================

MSG 3724, Level 16, State 2, Line 6: Cannot drop the table, 'dbo.<table name>' because it is being used for replication.

MSG 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 2

There is already an object named '<table name>' in the database.

============================================================

To investigate, I saw the following:

In the SSMS---> Replcation---> Local Publication--> [XYZ].Pub_XYZ

                                                                                      [SERVER Name].[XYZ_Replication]

                                                 Local Subscriptions:

                                                  [Reference DB].[Server\Instance].[Instance Name]:ABC.ABC_TO_XYZ.Reference DB).

How do I remove that table? Do I need to edit Replication? How? Which one?

Thanks for your help.
