I agree with leckey. The deprecated items can be a pain but not hard to change.
Do not forget to set options like xp_cmdshell if you use it.

This was one of our simplest upgrades ever, there was no problem with deprecated code, smooth as cream.

Hello,
It is best practise to run Upgrade Advisor before starting an upgrade.
Please refer to SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor download links.
I have done this upgrade a few times without any problem.
I hope it will be easy for your case also

Yes, you saw it right, SQL Server 7. Don't ask.

Thanks Man,
But honestly non of the search results gave a clear solution ... 
my problem is ,or the missing link in my issue is how to make my defined objects to be the represent an excel sheet on my drive. ie:
Dim xapp
Dim xworkb
Dim xworks
Set xapp= CreateObject("Excel.Application") this will create an excel object which i dont need.
also
Set xapp= Excel.Application
Set xworkb= xapp.Workbooks.Open(1) this is wrong i think ??
how to set those variables to represent an excel sheet on C:\book1.xlsx so i can manipulate the data and transfer it to recordset then to my table .
Helpppp

This looks like more of an Excel VBA question rather than a database question. You might get a better answer if you post on the Visual Basic forum, if you have not done so already.

yeah sure ... nothing expected ... most how to export from DB to excel .... and the next giving how to create new excel .
some uses: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet which is usless for me, since i need to idendity the excel sheet as an abject and to do some calculations on records before dumping it in the table .

I don't know of any, or whether it is possible to write to Access from VBA. Try a Google search and see what you can find; I know there are a number of specialist Excel technical forums around.

You're making things difficult for yourself. I simply use ADO.net.
There is a .net connector for both Excel and Access -- I make a connection to each, query from one, and write to the other. Slick as snot.

Am not that good in coding, but, PIEBALDconsult wrote: I simply use ADO.net.
suggest that am using an interface coding application or language (like .net), but am using VBA.
does the ".net connector " exist in VBA ?? is there such a connector in VBA ???

Well, then this would be an excellent opportunity to improve yourself. Yes, I recommend using C# to write a simple command-line utility to do it. I wrote one just a few weeks ago to do just such a thing. There's really not much to it; the tricky part is in making it flexible so you can easily use it for other similar tasks in the future, but you can forego that for now.

Thanks for the support PIEBALDconsult...
But am now in middle of this application (Access DB, VBA, forms) am not sure that frezzing it at this stage and jump to starting it again (writting the interface) using C# . time is a bit tight... may be when i finish it, ill re-do it again in C# so i can build some skills using C#.

I came across the same problem and I wrote up a little VBA code in ACCESS handle this. It is still in the beta phase and I am still pretty week in the code formating and documenting code, but the functionality is all there. So far it has the following features:
- File Folder Scanning and Keyword Search
- Batch excel file scanning
- Semi-Automatic ACCESS database creater from EXCEL.
- Data Viewer with column order, and sizing
- ACCESS data filter
- Export to excel based on the ACCESS data filter.
Again it is in the beta phase. Email me at david.lario@ualberta.net if you want me to forward what I have to you. If there is enough interest I could try post the routine to the code project.

hi , i would like to fire set of queries when a select query is fired on to particular table, can any one help in this ..
|
|
|
|

As far as I know, this can't be done with triggers if that is what you are thinking.
Why don't you create a stored procedure which does your "queries" and have the applications use that stored procedure instead of directly accessing the table ?
Just a thought.
|
|
|
|
|
Triggers are valid for events, select is not considered an event. Besides triggers are EVIL .
I'm curious as to the requirement for a trigger on a select, why do you need it

Hi,
I have queries regarding Database design in sql server 2005.
I have Book Library. I have a master where i am storing different category of writers for eg. Story Writes, Poets, Technical writers, Fiction Writes etc.
For eg. I have stored Louies David who is a Story writer as well as Poet.
I want to develop a search for above category for selected name or populate a list box for single category.
I have also another processes like contract for Books which is in transit but need to store details in Database. for eg Book Contract. It is having status as 'Approved' or 'Transit'. But i Need to store the categories and name of the writes in the database as well.
I have created Writes Category Table with Metadata for eg,
1) Table - WriterCategory
WriterCatID int - not Null
WriteCategory - int - metadata value ( Binary number for eg. 2) then for next record it will be 4, next will be 16 .. as so on.
CategoryDescrition - Varchar(50) - for . eg. Story Writer
2) Table - WriterMaster
WriterMasterID - int
WriterName - varchar(50) for eg, Louies David
Metadata Total - metadata which is selected by user for eg. He is Storywriter + Poet then 2 + 4 = 6 will be stored in this table
3) WriterMasterDetail
WriterMasterDetailID - Int
WriterMasterID - FK of WriterMaster
Metadata - individual category Number stored in WriterCategory
From above Table i can populate list boxes for categories as well as from Name i can find the category of the selected name.
But when I want to this to be also get values for BooKContract then I should i stored the value. Should i go with same Masterdetails Table ?
The above design was to reduce table for each categories and redunant data. I want to maintain the same thorugh out the application ? I will have to store each CategoryID with WriterMasterID for each contract and will have to retrive with query which gives with multiple records along with metadata. I realised that i will have to first find the distinct name and then iterate for type of metadata to store BookContract.
Can u please suggest ? Do I need to stored each WriterMasterID for each category as column in table? Please suggest better solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Apply normalization techniques, and you'll get the correct design.

Why did you skip 1 and 8? Your datatype says integer, how many items could you store in there? It looks like a running value btw, are you sure you don't want an Identity?
meerabhuva wrote: Metadata Total - metadata which is selected by user for eg. He is Storywriter + Poet then 2 + 4 = 6 will be stored in this table
Table: WriterKind
Id Caption
1 Storywriter
2 Poet
3 Scriptwriter
Table: WriterMaster
Id Name WriterKind
1 Berton Braley 2
It might be a flagged-enum in your code, but that doesn't make it a good idea to store it that way in a relational database.

That's one way, but it will limit you to thirty-two categories. Better to have a Category table and allow many-to-many relationships with Books and Authors.
