| Case Statement in Where Clause Posted: 31 May 2013 08:15 AM PDT I have a table with column A. Column A has values 1 or 0. The values represent 2 different outcomes. 1 is cats and 0 is dogs. I want to be able to use the column in a where clause as part of a stored procedure. The parameters are @cats and @dogs. The user can select either @cats or @dogs, or they can select both. If the don't make a selection I want to return both.If (@cats is 1 and @dogs is 0) then 'all cats' if (@cats is 0 and @dogs is 1) then 'all dogs' else 'all cats and all dogs' |
| SSIS - What is the best practice for creating a fixed length flat file. Posted: 29 May 2013 01:36 AM PDT I am running into the problem of SSIS putting the CRLF in random places at the end of the row. If we assume I am going to start from scratch, can I fix this issue in the Stored Procedure I use in my OLE source, or can I fix it on the SSIS side?I did see the following at MSDN but it did not make any sense to me since I don't see where to do this in the connection manager.[i][b]To make this work so that each row is exactly the same length, you may need to add a zero length column as the last one in the connection manager, and set the row delimiter on that one.[/b][/i]I did read as possibly using the advanced editor on the OLE adapter and adding a column there but how do I create a zero length column. If I send the header in the first row it is going to be at least 1 character.Any help would be greatly appreciated.FYI, I am using ragged right. |

| Do you know of any Enterprise Database Inventory Management Systems? Posted: 29 May 2013 05:07 AM PDT Hello all,For the past half a decade, I as well as former and current colleagues have been custom developing an enterprise solution for inventory management as it relates to the SQL Server world, pretty much as a side task. This includes but is not limited to Servers, Instances, Databases, Applications, Windows Configurations, SQL Configurations, Database Sizes, Extended Properties, SQL Job History and quite a bit more. It's pretty awesome and serves its purpose; however time is never with us and we seem to never have enough time to dedicate towards ongoing enhancements and reporting. As we all know, daily life and operational tasks always takes priority over the bigger fun stuff! :(With the above said, I'm curious if anyone knows of, or can recommend any vendor based software out there that could possibly replace/enhance what we have. We have a massive SQL Server infrastructure and there is such a wealth of data out there that we truly need a robust and scalable application with trending/predictive reporting.Would appreciate any feedback.Thanks |

| Different actual execution plan for same query Posted: 31 May 2013 01:35 AM PDT I have a query that I execute with a recompile hint with sp_executesql. This query performs rather ok. Then I comment the recompile hint and add some text making the query text unique thus forcing recompilation of the plan. The actual execution plan looks completely different then and the query is much slower. The number of estimated rows is very low which might be the symptom of the root cause. Also the io statistics are completely different. The query is run in transaction isolation level snapshot. We have seen some high read/write stalls on the tempdb file but I cannot imagine any problems on the tempdb causing other execution plans. Also all the statistics on the database were updated 8 hours ago. We see this phenomenon on and off. Sometimes the query is fast and sometimes slow. Recompile sometimes gives a boost but not always. Parameter sniffing was a first candidate explanation but with the latest test seems unlikely. The query has a lot of parameters which is due to the way our software handles queries. What influences the execution plan other than statistics? I have attached exec plans of fast and slow for completeness but my first goal is to have some lead for follow up research as we are |
| How to compare dates in 2 rows based on value in other column Posted: 31 May 2013 12:37 AM PDT I have a table with studentId, decision and FinishdateWhere studentid is the primary key and there could be none decision earlier and the aacept/deny later or vice-versa for a student.So, the decision could be accept/deny or None when there is no decision.I have to select the row of data when there is a decision (that is where decision is other than 'None' )and finish date is most recent for a studentid.How do I do that?Thanks, blyzzard |

| Posted: 31 May 2013 01:03 AM PDT Hey guys,Quick question: Will running the distribution job for snapshot replication lock the Publisher tables?Details: I have 2 SQL Server 2008 servers using Snapshot replication...I set this up 2 days ago and it has failed the past 2 nights...Last night when it failed, it completed the snapshot but the distribution job failed due to having a sorted timestamp column in one of the tables...I did some research and found a work around for that error that includes adding –UseInprocLoader at the end of the bcp command... So my question is: I know that I cant run the snapshot agent during peak hours due to putting a table lock on all the tables, but since the snapshot job completed, I was wondering if I can add that command and re run the distribution agent during peak hours? Not worried about it locking at the Subscriber level, but absolutely cannot run it if it will put a lock on at the Publisher level!Thank you in advance! |

| Migrating An SSRS Database from one server to another, trying to remove jobs from old server Posted: 31 May 2013 12:49 AM PDT So our reporting database has been on a test server for way too long. I backed it up, and restored it to a production server. I also backed up and restored the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases, as I was trying to get all of my SSRS reports and subscriptions moved over as well. Under Sql Server Agent, I have many jobs that are just named with a guid, and then I have my simple named jobs (SSIS jobs), like Daily, Weekly, etc. It appears that the ones named with a guid are mainly from the test server SSRS installation, and they appear to be running. I decided that I wanted to remove them all, and add my subscriptions locally. In Management Studio, I right clicked on the jobs, and deleted them. This morning, all of the jobs are back! The guids match the ones that exist on the test server. Are there some simple steps I can follow to either remove these jobs, or is there an easy way to initialize the report server, so that I can then re-create the jobs and subscriptions I need?Please keep in mind that I'm actually a developer, not a dba, even though I'm the closest thing to a dba that we have! :-D |
