Many thx !
Yan,
As long as the usb external disk looks local to the operating system, then
you should be able to do this. However, remember that disk performance may
be less than a local IDE or SCSI disk.

their IDE cousins--especially on laptops where the drives are painfully
slow.

Can i install MS SQL Server in Novell 5
Hello All,
does anyone know if MS SQL SERVER 2000 can be installed on Novell 5, and if there are any challenges that need to be considered.
Thanks to all,
SammySQL Server installs only on Windoze. It works nicely in a Novell network, but it won't install on a Novell server.
-PatP|||thanks Pat, much appreciated

Can I install more then one copy of MSDE on a server?
We are running a Windows 2003 domain. I have a Windows 2003 member server
running an app. and MSDE.
I now have another app. that I would like to install on this same server.
The new app. also needs MSDE. My question is can I install and run more
then one copy of MSDE? Is there anything I need to know about doing it?
TIA,
ClaytonOr can I just use the same MSDE for the new app.? Can MSDE have more the
one DB?
TIA,
Clayton

TIA,
Clayton|||You can install up to 16 instances of MSDE (I think that is still
correct -someone correct me if I'm wrong.) on the same server.
However, each additional instance will have a variation in the instance
name. For example, if your server is MyServer, the first installation of
MSDE (or SQL Server) will be know as MyServer. When you install a second
instance of MSDE, you are required to provide an 'instance' name (e.g.,
Accounting). Then that server/instance will be referred to as
MyServer\Accounting. You have to use the compounded name in all connection
strings, etc.
That may not be a simple issue for many third party applications. (I would
hope so -but I've learned to be pessimistic about the skills of a lot of
programmers.)

We are running a Windows 2003 domain. I have a Windows 2003 member server
running an app. and MSDE.
I now have another app. that I would like to install on this same server.
The new app. also needs MSDE. My question is can I install and run more
then one copy of MSDE? Is there anything I need to know about doing it?
TIA,
ClaytonOr can I just use the same MSDE for the new app.? Can MSDE have more the

correct -someone correct me if I'm wrong.) on the same server.
However, each additional instance will have a variation in the instance
name. For example, if your server is MyServer, the first installation of
MSDE (or SQL Server) will be know as MyServer. When you install a second
instance of MSDE, you are required to provide an 'instance' name (e.g.,
Accounting). Then that server/instance will be referred to as
MyServer\Accounting. You have to use the compounded name in all connection
strings, etc.
That may not be a simple issue for many third party applications. (I would
hope so -but I've learned to be pessimistic about the skills of a lot of
programmers.)

Can I Install Enterprise edition on Windows 2000 Server as in Small Business Ser
Hi.
We have Windows 2000 Small Business Server
In control panel/System the operating system is identified
as
Windows 2000 server service pack 4
Microsoft pages on System requirements for SQL Server
Enterprise edition says requires Windows 2000 Server
The operating system I have seems to be Windows 2000
Server even though it has some junk in it making it
Windows 2000 Small Business Server.
Question can i Install SQL Server 2000 Enterprise?
I need this because i need to use Indexed Views which do
not exist in Sql Server standard edition.
THe answer varies depending on whome i ask at Microsoft.
Apreciate any advice.Hi
There is no mention of SBS on the system requirements at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/sysreqs/2000/default.asp
even though SQL Server comes with it!!
I have never tried installing this onto a specific SBS system, so can not be
100% but I am pretty sure that it is no different. If you do help/about
windows in Windows Explorer and it says Microsoft (R) Windows Version 5.0
then I don't think there would be any reason for it not to.

Can I install both version of SQL server 2000 & 2005 on my Computer ?
I now know only I can install both .Net 1.1 and 2.0 on one computer
but I don't know, Can I do it on SQL Server ?
Please advise me...
You cannot have SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 running in the same computer.
Cheers
Al
|||Yes you can. SQL Servers run under their own process, and different instances maintain their own memory space. You're fine to run both on one server, though I dont recomend it for a production enviroment.|||When you try, there is an error from the installer! How do you get around that?

EDIT
You can if you install 2000 before 2005, companies run different versions on the network as of last year you can still download 6.5 from MSDN. And yes I have run both in one box during the SQL Server 2005 roll out.
|||Hi Albert, I have a machine which first has SQL2005 installed and then I added SQL2000 to it, without any problem. Do you remember what's the error you got from the installer?|||Yes, something like you cannot install SQL 2005 when another instance is already installed.
The other instance was SQL 2000, and that happend to me at the SQL 2005 CTP version. I have never tried with the release version. Are you telling me that now is all possible?

The CTPs were bad one CTP between beta 2 and 3 cost me a hard drive and the OS that came with it, back then it takes a while to find the Management Studios all that changed with the final product, you can even get a child to install it but I have not tried it. it is very easy now. But 2000 remains ignore Windows questions just answer those relevant to you.
|||You are correct, took me a long time to finish the installation of SQL 2005 CTP, the release version was fast and easy on a clean computer. I already removed all my SQL 2000 from any computer, I only use SQL 2005, love the speed!
I am glad that people can install both in the same machine now. Some day I may try that instead of just upgrading it.

Can I install both Management Studio and Management Studio Express on same machine?
I want to install the following on my machine:
MSDE 2000 Release A
SQL Server 2000 SP4
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition with SP1
SQL Server 2000 Express with SP1
Management Studio
Management Studio Express
The only one that I'm concerning is whether Management Studio and Management Studio Express can coexist in one machine.
Thanks for any help,

Hi all,
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much
Tony
Yes. This is supported as in SQL Server 2005, Standardard SKU and Enterprise SKU can be installed side by side successfully. Of course, their instancenames must be distinct.

Can I install 32-bit SQL2000 on 64-bit W2K3 R2 OS?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but we're ordering a new server, and we get our choice of OS with it. So I'd like to have 64-bit OS if I can.
In the larger plan, is there any problem upgrading from 32-bit SQL2000 to 64-bit SQL2005?
Thanks!!
You can, but SQL 2000 32-bit must be fully patched in order to be stable on 64-bit hardware.
I haven't heard of any issues during migration from 32-bit 2000 to 64-bit 2005. I advise doing that as soon as possible to reap the benefits

Can I Insert/Update Large Text Field To Database Without Bulk Insert?
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
You can't just use a plain old update statement and set the column = a parameter of the correct datatype?
|||How do you indicate that a SqlParameter is of type nvarchar(max)? Any numeric length up to 4000 is easy, but beyond that I've come up empty.
When I add a parameter to a command, I use the AddWithValue method instead of the Add method. That way I don't have to type in the datatype and the length, I just pass it text and it works.
It's possible that it will truncate on you using that method, but I've used it with ntext and long text values before
|||cmd.Parameters.Add("@.Blobby",SqlDbType.Nvarchar)
or
cmd.Parameters.Add("@.Blobby",SqlDbType.Nvarchar,-1)
|||
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@.Blobby",myTextBox.Text)
(or any other object's value instead of myTextBox)
|||I normally don't recommend AddWithValue because it can cause some problems when it's unclear what the conversions (if any) should be. This comes into play when the result to be passed could possibly be a nvarchar or a more specific data type (integers, dates). Under certain circumstances, .NET decides to send the data to SQL Server as a nvarchar, and when it gets there, it realizes that it needs to be converted to a more specific data type, but the information needed to do the conversion correctly (because of culture formatting) isn't available on the server, or it uses the servers culture rather than the culture of the running page.
Using .Add with a specified datatype insures that the data conversion is done by .NET before sending the parameter on to SQL Server.
Can I Insert Line Numbers?
Hi. We are creating long reports that need to have unique reference numbers
assigned to each row. For example, the values 1-99 below would be computed at
report run time:
1 Transaction-A
2 Transaction-B
:
99 Transaction-x
I thought I could solve this by using a global variable and function within
the report code block such as:
Private Dim itemCount As Integer
Public Function GetCount() As Integer
itemCount += 1
Return itemCount
End Function
And then create a calculated field (Called LineNumber) that calls the
function:
=Code.GetCount()
But what I get is a seemingly random assignment of line numbers; I assume
due to ReptSvcs resolving the rows in a non-linear fashion.
Any thoughts on how I can get ordered line numbers?Try using static variables in the code

I used the same code as I mentioned below, but added an "ORDER BY"
quailifier to the dataset to sort the data in the same sequence as the report
displayed. This gave me sequentual numbers.

displayed. This gave me sequentual numbers.

Can I insert into the same table a new row with the "old" row field value?
I'm trying to insert values into the same database from itself.
Essentially, I want to add another row to the table for each row with
reg_cat_id = 3. But in this row, I want the original registration_id
to show up in the new row.
Here is my syntax below - this generates an error:
INSERT INTO Registration_Category
(REG_CAT_ID, REGISTRATION_ID, STAFF_ID,
REGISTRATION_DATE, APPROVAL_STATUS, APPROVEDDATE)
VALUES (90, t1.REGISTRATION_ID, 'test', '05/05/2007', 'Y',
'05/05/2007')
SELECT REGISTRATION_ID, STAFF_ID,
REGISTRATION_DATE, APPROVAL_STATUS, APPROVEDDATE
FROM Registration_Category t1
WHERE (REG_CAT_ID = 3)
ORDER BY REGISTRATION_ID
Any suggestions?On 30 Mar 2006 14:40:12 -0800, Dee wrote:

Can I INSERT INTO a temp tbl twice in one stored procedure
In my stored procedure I need to select some data columns and insert them into a #temp tbl and then select the same data columns again using a different from and put them into the same #temp tbl. It sounds like a union, can I union into a #temp tbl?
Any help here is appreciated.
You should be able to insert into the temp table twice, or use a union to just do one insert. Have you actually tried and got an error? If so can you post the error you got.|||The error in my stored procedure is:There is already an object named '#temp_UN' in the database.
I'm trying to do something like this:
SELECT ClinetID, etc... INTO #temp_UN FROM ... WHERE...
SELECT ClinetID, etc... INTO #temp_UN FROM ... WHERE... (This select has a different FROM
SELECT ... FROM tblClient INNER JOIN tblClient.ClientID = #temp_UN.ClientID WHERE...
if
object_id('tempdb..#temp_UN','U')isnotnulldrop
table #temp_UNGifts|||For your second insert into the temp table you should be able to use the 'Insert into .. select .. ' syntax
Something like this:
SELECT ClinetID, etc... INTO #temp_UN FROM ... WHERE...
INSERT INTO #temp_UN SELECT ClinetID, etc...FROM ... WHERE... (This select has a different FROM)
SELECT ... FROM tblClient INNER JOIN tblClient.ClientID = #temp_UN.ClientID WHERE...

Can I insert data from a report with RS2005?
Hi All,
Here's my problem:
I need to pull some items into a table report. I have the items grouped
by a key field (AlertID) and a detail the the user can drilldown to for
each item. I'm having trouble with the linking, I try to link this
report to another report that takes the parameters and runs a stored
proc to insert the data for the item (Alert History). Each report works
fine on by itself, but I can't get them to link in anyway, I've tried
Jump to Report and Jump to URL.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Damien Johnston
P.S. I also need know if there is a writable textbox and a checkbox
control available in RS?In general this is a bad idea (trying to write data). Some issues you would
have to deal with are: multi-user, cleaning up data when done, etc.
Given what you say I don't see why you need to do this. If your stored
procedure can figure out the data to insert then why can't you just have a
stored procedure returning the appropriate data to the report. Instead of
drill down you should be using drill through. Drill through is much more
efficient. Have a field that you highlight and color blue. Users understand
that means to click on it. Then use jump to report to call up the report
with the detail information.

>|||Bruce--Thanks for the reply, I'll look at alternative methods to solve
the problem.
Here are the details of what's required and what I have in place:
I have a database monitoring app the alerts when an event occurs (like
profiler)
I have specific events that need to be trapped and a historical record
needs to be kept of the original event along with any updates to an
event history field. These events are stored in a SQL DB
I need to be able to allow certain users to access this via some sort
of form/webpage, and update the events they are responsible for with
documentation, such as an email or an uploaded file.
I need to be able have a single parent to many children relationship
for the events. For example, event 1 can be chosen as the parent for
events 2,3,4,5,6 and event 1's event history will become the history
of the child events.
I sure I can get the SQL side of things, stored procs and table design.
But I'm struggling with a front end for my users; I was hoping that
RS had the ability to function in this way.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can I inherited from a template report?
I must make many report in my project.
All the reports must have header of company name and footer of page number.
Can I desgin a template custom report, then all reports in my project are inherited from it?
This is very easy to do if you are developing your reports in Visual Studio. The templates for reports are stored at the following path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject\
You can create a template report and save it in this location, and then when you want to use it, from within your report project, click on the 'Project' menu option, and select 'Add New Item...'. When the dialog opens, you should see all .rdl files located in the above directory.
Hope that helps - Dan
Can I index a table in View ?
I create a view based on table. The table (say tblA) has an index on column
A.
When I do a sql query like "select .. from vMyView as MyView,tblB
where tblB.colA = MyView.A", will it use the index on tblA column A , or do
I
need to (and can I) create an index on the view ?
CREATE view vMyView()
select a,b,c...from tblA --> tblA.a is indexed
Thank you very much.Look up "Indexed views" in Books online.

Indexed views basically allow you to index only a subset of data.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
ML
http://milambda.blogspot.com/|||Not entirely true. From Books Online:
"
Indexed views can be created in any edition of SQL Server 2000. In SQL
Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, the query optimizer will automatically
consider the indexed view. To use an indexed view in all other editions, the
NOEXPAND hint must be used.
"
ML
http://milambda.blogspot.com/|||It will use the base table index if it is useful to do so (based on many
factors, like the selectivity of the index and your search argument)
You can index the view, provided it meets the strict requirements for doing
so. You can do it in any version, but as noted only in Enterprise Edition
will it use the index transparently, other versions require you to use the
NOEXPAND keyword so he text of the view isn't brought into the plan creation
(so you manually force it to treat the view as a table, more or less)
So the main reason I piped up and said basically the same things that were
said before is this. Do you know how to tell if an index is being used
using Management Studio / Query Analyzer? When it comes to predicting what
index may or may not be used, it generally behooves you to try it out.
There are menu items on both for displaying estimated plans, and then actual
plans that were used to execute the query. So execute the query and look at
the plan, and fiddle about with it for a while and you will get the hang of
when an index will be used.

Can I index a table in UDF ?
I create a UDF based on a table. The table (say tblA) has an index on column
A.
When I do a sql query like "select .. from dbo.udfMyProc() as MyProc,tblB
where tblB.colA = MyProc.A", will it use the index on tblA column A , or do
I
need to (and can I) create an index on the UDF ?
CREATE function dbo.udfMyProc()
returns @.myTable TABLE(a int, b bit, c varchar(50), d varchar(50), e
varchar(50), ...)
AS BEGIN
INSERT INTO @.myTable(a,b,c,d,e...)
select a,b,c...from tblA --> tblA.a is indexed
return
end
Thank you very much.That query will not use the index on "tblA" - you need to create one on the
temp table returned by the UDF. You cannot create a regular index on table
variables though (a CREATE INDEX statement), but you can use PRIMARY KEY and
UNIQUE constraints:
...
RETURNS @.tmp TABLE
(
somestring varchar(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
If the index can have non-unique records you can fake an index by adding an
identity column so that each record will be unique:
...
RETURNS @.tmp TABLE
(
somestring varchar(50) NOT NULL
, meaningless_column int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1)
, PRIMARY KEY (somestring, meaningless_column)
)
Make sure to make the IDENTITY column last in the PK/UNIQUE definition so
the index is still useful.

@.table, if that's what you mean. The only indexes you can create on a table
variable are via PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints... if you're talking
about ordering, that's a different conversation altogether...

If your function truly consists of a single INSERT... SELECT statement then
you should turn it into an inline function rather than a multi-statement
one. That way your query against the function will be more likely to benefit
from an index on the base table. An example version of an inline function is
given below. This looks subtly different from what you posted but in terms
of the way the function works the difference is very significant.
CREATE function dbo.udfMyProc()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (SELECT a,b,c...FROM tblA)
GO
BTW, if the function doesn't have any parameters then why use a function at
all? You could use a view for that.
Hope this helps.

I tried the view and it works a lot faster, I will use it instead.

What is the difference between UDF and inline function ?

I understand that the ORDER BY clause is invalid in views and inline
functions.
If I need to use ORDER BY clause in my query inside the views or inline
function, Is there a way around it ?
Thanks.

there are two types of UDFs:
Inline. Consists of only one query. Think of it as a view or "macro".
Multi-statement. Here you define a table variable and populate that table va
riable, and when
function code exist at run-time the data is selected from the variable, All
that work is overhead.

Is the following UDF considered inline (because it only has 1 query: select
a,b,c...) ?
CREATE function dbo.udfMyProc()
returns @.myTable TABLE(a int, b bit, c varchar(50), d varchar(50), e
varchar(50), ...)
AS BEGIN
INSERT INTO @.myTable(a,b,c,d,e...)
select a,b,c...from tblA --> tblA.a is indexed
return
end

In the sample query that you posted, does it mean that you return a table

A.
When I do a sql query like "select .. from dbo.udfMyProc() as MyProc,tblB
where tblB.colA = MyProc.A", will it use the index on tblA column A , or do
I
need to (and can I) create an index on the UDF ?
CREATE function dbo.udfMyProc()
returns @.myTable TABLE(a int, b bit, c varchar(50), d varchar(50), e
varchar(50), ...)
AS BEGIN
INSERT INTO @.myTable(a,b,c,d,e...)
select a,b,c...from tblA --> tblA.a is indexed
return
end
Thank you very much.That query will not use the index on "tblA" - you need to create one on the
temp table returned by the UDF. You cannot create a regular index on table
variables though (a CREATE INDEX statement), but you can use PRIMARY KEY and
UNIQUE constraints:
...
RETURNS @.tmp TABLE
(
somestring varchar(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
If the index can have non-unique records you can fake an index by adding an
identity column so that each record will be unique:
...
RETURNS @.tmp TABLE
(
somestring varchar(50) NOT NULL
, meaningless_column int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1)
, PRIMARY KEY (somestring, meaningless_column)
)
Make sure to make the IDENTITY column last in the PK/UNIQUE definition so
the index is still useful.

@.table, if that's what you mean. The only indexes you can create on a table
variable are via PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints... if you're talking
about ordering, that's a different conversation altogether...

Can I Import/Export Database Designs between Visual Studio 2003 and SQL Server 2005 Tools?
Title says it all, really.
Visual Studio has a "Reverse Engineer" option but the only export option appears to be to a graphics-definition database.
Regards,
Nick Samuel
These designs are just graphical representations of the physical structures, they are stored in a series of tables whose names start with dt. If you then copy that database to SQL 2005 and set the compat level to 90 then the 2005 diagram tool should be able to read it.|||Hi Euan,
Thank you for your response.
I cannot find an option to set a compat level.
Regards,
Nick Samuel
Can I import a deployed report back into Visual Studio?
I created and deployed a report to my Report Server and everything is functioning fine. However, my laptop was inadvertantly wiped when I was having it serviced and I had not backed up this report to VSS. Is there a way to import that deployed report back in to Visual Studio or do I have to basically rebuild my report from scratch?
Hello,
If you go to the Properties tab for your report in Report Manager, there should be a link called 'Edit' in the Report Definition section. If you click this, you can save the RDL file as it is on the server. Then, just import that report back into Visual Studio.
Hope this helps.
Jarret
|||No, fortunately you don′t need to :-)
You can either download the RDL using the webinterface ("Edit item") or write an pplication which pulls the information from the report server. There are some samples in the samples directory which show how to do this.
Jens K. Suessmeyer.
http://www.sqlserver2005.de
|||Yes, thank you very much. That did the trick!|||I will take a look at the samples and learn how to do it programmatically. In the meantime, my butt is out of the proverbial sling. Many thanks!
