Figured this out after I wrote it.
The other problem I had was;
ORDER BY RT_MCP_Date_Time, Error_Count DESC, RT_MCP_Name, RT_MCP_State, RT_MCP_Alarm_Text
I declared the RT_MCP_Date_Time as ErrorDate in the select statement and didn't put it in the ORDER BY statement correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm new with the SQL language. I would like to ask for tips
or advice on what part of the SQL server to start?
I'll really appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Download the Northwind or AdvertureWorks database from the Microsoft website (there will be instructions on how to add it to your SQL Server). You can then play with them in order to get to grips with the language.
I would also recommend the step-by-step books by Microsoft Press.

Frenz,
I have created a cube using sql server analysis services and i have imported the cube in to excel using get external data and it has also been successfully imported as a pivot table. This uses windows authentication.
Now what I want exactly is.. all the users should not be able to slice and dice the data thru all dimensions..
For example :
If a Project Manager manages 3 or 4 projects.. in the projects field from the pivot table he should be able to slice and dice the data of those 3 or 4 projects and he should not be able to view the other data..
Is there any way that we can specify this access restriction at cube level itself in such a way that
it should take the userid of the project manager from the active directory thru an excel vba script and based on the data fetched from AD... Can it be passed to the cube to filter out only certain data and fields for the person logged in???
Kindly help @ the earliest
Thanks and Regards

Multiple business partners of master need to use the details of all the sales stores stored in msdb database server.The details include the name of store,name of store owner,and email address of store owner.As per company's security policy,access to company's databases can't be provided to any external entity.
HOW WILL YOU MAKE THE LIST AVAILABLE TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL OVERHEAD?

You can't. Any solution will require additional "overhead" in order to securely expose your data to the relevant parties.
Removing that constraint, then the most obvious solution would be to create a web service that gives them appropriate access.

Dear All,
I need your help
Does anyone know exactly what statement/function to put AFTER the "Truncate" function in Transact-SQL, so that the query will return the first (DEFAULT) row in the database?
For example : I have a small table named "USERS". This table has only 5 columns. But, the identity column (which is also the primary key) is the USER_ID column.
I have assigned this column the IDENTITY INCREMENT, and of course, IDENTITY SEED "1".
I issued a TRUNCATE function to erase ALL rows/records.
However, I would like to erase all rows EXCEPT the first one (which is also the DEFAULT row).
What should I state after the TRUNCATE function??
Thanks for your help.

Well, according to the documentation[^] you can't put anything after that.

Then use DELETE rather than TRUNCATE.

Could you give me the function SYNTAX?
thanks

Truncate doesn't allow you exclude rows from the delete operation. You would need to do something like "DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id <> 1", assuming 1 is the ID for the default row.
Now keep in mind that Truncate runs much faster than Delete does, but you will probably only notice it if you have a lot of rows.
Take care,
Tom

Hi Tom
thanks for your response.
Actually, I do know about the "DELETE FROM....WHERE" clause.
But, it is actually the REVERSE of what I need. I do not wish to delete the DEFAULT. I want to delete EVERY ROW, EXCEPT THE DEFAULT.
I assumed that TRUNCATE would be the best here. But, if DELETE is better, then how do I delete EVERY ROW, but leave the FIRST/DEFAULT row intact?
Regards
ER

The Delete statement I provide would delete EVERY ROW, EXCEPT the row with an ID of 1. The Where clause says "where the id is not 1", which would match every row (because their IDs would not be 1) except the default row (because it's ID is 1).
This is all assuming that the ID for the default row is 1, if it's another number (say -1), then you just have to plug that in place of 1.
Take care,
Tom

i am a part time student in web design and i am trying to learn asp.net and ado.net at the moment. i do not delve into SQL until a little bit later in my course.
[i am using visual studio 2003 and sql server express 2005]
i am having integrated security issues. i keep getting this message;
""
! ADO Error: '
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
""
i can vaguely remember somebody mentioning to me, that i must change the security settings within SQL Server to allow visual studio to communicate with it. i dont know whwat to change! and there are so many options and different security folders.. guest, dbo, etc..
any help would be timelessly appreciated
many thanks in advance

John,
Make sure your connection string includes the following:
ConnectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;" _
+ "Integrated Security=True;" _
+ "AttachDBFilename=" + [DB filename and path] & ";" _
+ "Initial Catalog=" + [DB filename] + ";" _
+ "Connect Timeout=30;" _
+ "User Instance=True"
example:
"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;AttachDBFilename=C:\mydb.mdf;Initial Catalog=mydb;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"

I have a web application which connects with MySQL database. I used ODBC. Things are going fine till I heared ODBC is slow in performance. But I didn't find any resource saying this. What do you say, using ODBC will slow down the application ? I didn't find any problem yet, because that application is not getting much hits. So I couldn't find out the performance difference.
MySQL comes with a connector library for .NET ? What about that ? Is it stable ? but I guess it won't work with ASP.NET 2.0 ? Right ?

ODBC adds an extra layer between the database and your application. It will be slower because of the additional data transfer through it. However, if it works for you and you don't have any performance problems I'd just leave it.

There is a .NET Data Provider for MySQL
What do you mean "What about that?". Yes, you can use it if you want.
No, it won't with with ASP.NET 2.0 because ASP.NET is a framework that deals with web applications. It has no database functionality whatsoever.

Thanks., But if my application is getting enough traffic, it would be a problem.

Yes this is what I meant.

I guess you misunderstood me. I was asking will that MySql dataprovider works with .NET 2.0 ? I heared it won't.

Thanks, So what do you suggest. Continue with ODBC or switch to MySQL connector ? Have you used MySQL connector ?

Go with the most specific thing. I haven't used either the ODBC Data Provider or the MySQL "Connector" Data Provider.

I have a set of procs I use to select data for an export to an accounting package API. Now I would like to modify these procs so that I can optionally also output the accounting data to a CSV file, to assist in regression testing. I see two options here:
1. Change the select queries to insert queries into temp tables, then optionally write the temp table through BCP, then always select from the temp table for output.
2. Encapsulate the select queries into a string, then optionally pass this string to BCP, then always execute the string.
Which method strikes the experts as better?
|
|
|
|
|
I've just tried the temp table method, and in BCP the server complains about the name of the temp table, then the proc goes on to select from the temp table, so it does exist.
SELECT blah blah...,
TaxRefNo
INTO
#cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp
FROM
[caCustomerForExport]
WHERE
CustomerID in (select exportID from caExportID where exportItem = @partnerType)
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'BCP #cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp OUT "test.txt" -S(local) -T -c'
SELECT
*
FROM
#cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp
