Hello,
We are in the process of migrating the Oracle database to SQL Server. We need the help on the Exception Handling in SQL Server.
The existing Oracle stored procedure is using the Exception DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX, which raises when the duplicate values gets inserted in the Indexed column. (typcially used with INSERT statement)
We need the equivalant statement for the exception mentioned above.
I request you to elp us out in this case.
Thanking in advance.
Duplicates for a unique index insert return the error number
is 2601. The error message depends on the object name but
it's:
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object '%.*ls' with
unique index '%.*ls'.

|||Hello Sue,
Good Morning. Thank you very much for the very useful help. Yesterday late evening i tried the same and was at the conclusion of the error no. 2601 as the equivalant in SQL.
Your ans. supports that and i an confirmed now.
Thank you once again.

equallent to decode in oracle?
Hi, Here is my oracle statement. How can I change it to be compatible with SQL Server?
update propertytable set visible =decode(propertyid, 1,0, 2,0, 3,1, 5,1, 6,1, 7,0, 9,1, 10,1, 11,0, 14,1, 30,1, 38,1, 60,0, 232,0, 233,0, 415,1, 605,0) where parentid between 2000006001 and 2000006020

Equalize mis-synched tables
Occationally, my publisher and push subscribers don't matchup on a few
tables. The subscriber has a few more rowguids than Publisher even after
synching. Synch glip or conflict or such.
What is the best practice to get them matching without cascading more
oddities to other subscribers?
When I try a meaningless update, to kick in the repl trigger, it doesn't
seem to move over. Delete and reinsert? Same Guid or new?
thanks for any suggestions.
Mike
If data falls in the woods and nobody is there to see it ...... ?
This can happen in several circumstances that I know of. Most likely it's
from when you bulk insert the rows and choose the defaults, then
FIRE_TRIGGERS is false and consequently the rows are not added to
MSmerge_contents. Also, if you do a fast-load using the Transform Data task
in DTS: In all cases case, you need to run sp_addtabletocontents to include
the rows then resynchronise. Alternatively you can use sp_mergedummyupdate
for a single row. For the fast load case, in future if you deselect the
check box the triggers will fire.

|||Thanks Paul.
The extra rows are on my pull subscriber (server) so I used the
sp_mergedummyupdate to test. It did add a row to the msmerge_contents table
but the generation didn't transfer to the publishers _contents table.
No synch error messages/conflicts. Other data is moving fine.
The extra rows were deleted 1/2/06, reasons unknown (system delete). I
reinserted them with a std insert from a restored db. ** I kept the original
rowguid.
Mistake? I wanted to avoid getting duplicate values in the table.
The pub does have the initial delete in tombstone (orig rowguid). Would
that would filter out the rowguid for future synching?

Equality comparison of xml fields
I have a stored procedure that has an xml input parameter, and the routine will proceed only when the inputted xml is equal to the stored xml field. Is there some sort of equals comparison for this?
* The xml field is typed DOCUMENT.XML data type instances are incomparable. XML data type preserves the content information of the XML instances and may not be an exact copy of the user-supplied XML data. Comparison depends upons the application semantics.
I can suggest the following for your application:
1) Extract scalar values (using the value() method) from the XML parameter and compare with scalar values in the stored XML field
2) Convert the XML parameter to a string representation and compare with a string representation of the stored XML field
3) Add a column that stores a hashed value of the XML instances. Get the hash value of the XML parameter and make a comparison of the hashed values. For a hash match, use #1 or #2 to ensure that the match is indeed correct. There are well known hashing methods (SHA-1 for example) that can yield good hash matches.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.|||Thanks Shankar for the reply. What I would do is break down this xml chunk into smaller content and perform the above as you suggested.

equal distribution of start and finish dates
Question. What exactly is your expected result? It's not entirely clear
from your description. I think you're saying that for December 2000 the
cost should be $2,000. For the other, it soundes like you are looking to
pro-rate the $400? If so, across what time period do you want it pro-rated
exactly?

This will handle a two-month period, anything more than that is going to
be more complicated:

Hi mita,
First, you need to create a table that holds all months in your
reporting period (or more). Something like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Months
(MonthStart datetime NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
MonthEnd datetime NOT NULL);
go
DECLARE @.TheMonth datetime;
SET @.TheMonth = '200000101'; -- Start at january 2000
WHILE @.TheMonth <= '20191231' -- End at december 2019
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO dbo.Months (MonthStart, MonthEnd)
VALUES (@.TheMonth, DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth)));
SET @.TheMonth = DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth);
END;
The above is a one time operation, provided you never drop the table.
Don't forget to add some extra months to the table in a year or ten!
With this table in place, your query becomes something like this:
SELECT PeriodStart, PeriodEnd,
TotalCost * DATEDIFF (day, PeriodStart, PeriodEnd)
/ DATEDIFF (day, start_date, finish_date) AS cost
FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN a.start_date > b.MonthStart
THEN a.start_date
ELSE b.MonthStart
END AS PeriodStart,
CASE WHEN a.finish_date < b.MonthEnd
THEN a.finish_date
ELSE b.MonthEnd
END AS PeriodEnd,
a.start_date, a.finish_date,
a.cost AS TotalCost
FROM dbo.MyTable AS a
INNER JOIN dbo.Months AS b
ON b.MonthStart <= a.finish_date
AND b.MonthStart >= a.start_date) AS d
(Untested - see www.aspfaq.com/5006 if you prefer a tested reply)

Hi mita,
First, you need to create a table that holds all months in your
reporting period (or more). Something like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Months
(MonthStart datetime NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
MonthEnd datetime NOT NULL);
go
DECLARE @.TheMonth datetime;
SET @.TheMonth = '200000101'; -- Start at january 2000
WHILE @.TheMonth <= '20191231' -- End at december 2019
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO dbo.Months (MonthStart, MonthEnd)
VALUES (@.TheMonth, DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth)));
SET @.TheMonth = DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth);
END;
The above is a one time operation, provided you never drop the table.
Don't forget to add some extra months to the table in a year or ten!
With this table in place, your query becomes something like this:
SELECT PeriodStart, PeriodEnd,
TotalCost * DATEDIFF (day, PeriodStart, PeriodEnd)
/ DATEDIFF (day, start_date, finish_date) AS cost
FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN a.start_date > b.MonthStart
THEN a.start_date
ELSE b.MonthStart
END AS PeriodStart,
CASE WHEN a.finish_date < b.MonthEnd
THEN a.finish_date
ELSE b.MonthEnd
END AS PeriodEnd,
a.start_date, a.finish_date,
a.cost AS TotalCost
FROM dbo.MyTable AS a
INNER JOIN dbo.Months AS b
ON b.MonthStart <= a.finish_date
AND b.MonthStart >= a.start_date) AS d

equal distribution of start and finish dates
Hi all
I have got 3 columns in my table- start date,finish date and cost..in the
following format...
start_date finish_date cost
12/12/2000 20/12/2000 $2000
01/09/2000 12/10/2000 $400
Now if the month and year of the start and finish date is same, the cost
remains same...
but if the month of the two dates are different, i have to distribute the
cost between the two months by calculating the cost for the number of days
for both of the months..
but i am not able to figure out how?
i am using sql 2005 ..
my table has got about 1 million rows...
pls helpQuestion. What exactly is your expected result? It's not entirely clear
from your description. I think you're saying that for December 2000 the
cost should be $2,000. For the other, it soundes like you are looking to
pro-rate the $400? If so, across what time period do you want it pro-rated
exactly?

Hi Mita,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The error is caused by a stupid typo in my code (quoted above) - I have
one zero to many in the date constant for Jan 1st, 2000. If you change
'200000101' to '20000101', the error should go away.

I have got 3 columns in my table- start date,finish date and cost..in the
following format...
start_date finish_date cost
12/12/2000 20/12/2000 $2000
01/09/2000 12/10/2000 $400
Now if the month and year of the start and finish date is same, the cost
remains same...
but if the month of the two dates are different, i have to distribute the
cost between the two months by calculating the cost for the number of days
for both of the months..
but i am not able to figure out how?
i am using sql 2005 ..
my table has got about 1 million rows...
pls helpQuestion. What exactly is your expected result? It's not entirely clear
from your description. I think you're saying that for December 2000 the
cost should be $2,000. For the other, it soundes like you are looking to
pro-rate the $400? If so, across what time period do you want it pro-rated
exactly?

Hi mita,
First, you need to create a table that holds all months in your
reporting period (or more). Something like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Months
(MonthStart datetime NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
MonthEnd datetime NOT NULL);
go
DECLARE @.TheMonth datetime;
SET @.TheMonth = '200000101'; -- Start at january 2000
WHILE @.TheMonth <= '20191231' -- End at december 2019
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO dbo.Months (MonthStart, MonthEnd)
VALUES (@.TheMonth, DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth)));
SET @.TheMonth = DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth);
END;
The above is a one time operation, provided you never drop the table.
Don't forget to add some extra months to the table in a year or ten!
With this table in place, your query becomes something like this:
SELECT PeriodStart, PeriodEnd,
TotalCost * DATEDIFF (day, PeriodStart, PeriodEnd)
/ DATEDIFF (day, start_date, finish_date) AS cost
FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN a.start_date > b.MonthStart
THEN a.start_date
ELSE b.MonthStart
END AS PeriodStart,
CASE WHEN a.finish_date < b.MonthEnd
THEN a.finish_date
ELSE b.MonthEnd
END AS PeriodEnd,
a.start_date, a.finish_date,
a.cost AS TotalCost
FROM dbo.MyTable AS a
INNER JOIN dbo.Months AS b
ON b.MonthStart <= a.finish_date
AND b.MonthStart >= a.start_date) AS d

Hi Mita,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The error is caused by a stupid typo in my code (quoted above) - I have
one zero to many in the date constant for Jan 1st, 2000. If you change
'200000101' to '20000101', the error should go away.

Equal disk space needed to delete .bak file?
Kind of an obscure question, but here goes.
SQL2000 SP4
I have a E: drive on my SQL server that is ~400gb. On it you'll find
a ~100gb live DB file and last night's 100gb .bak file (maintenance
plan is set for one day retention). The vendor is telling me that I
am going to run out of space doing the SQL backups because 100gb is
used by the live DB, 100gb is used by last nights .bak file, 100gb
will be used to write today's .bak file, and the last 100gb will be
used in the deletion process of removing the old .bak file.
I can't say I know how SQL handles the removal of the old .bak file
but is this a true statement that SQL will need equal free space to
delete the old .bak file?SQL deletes old backups AFTER creating new ones, so you will need space for
at least two backups.
Look at it this way, what happens if your database blows up during a backup.
If you have an older backup, you are fine. If you are overwriting your only
backup, it is time to polish up the resume.
Personally, I would go out and buy a couple of USB drives and back up to
there. Last week my mother purchased a 500GB model for $99. If that is not
an option, you could look into one of the commercially available backup
compression tools. The three major ones are SQLSafe (www.idera.com),
LiteSpeed for SQL (www.quest.com), and SQL Backup (www.red-gate.com).

vendor claims.
100gb - live DB
100gb - last nights backup
100gb - to create tonights backup
--
300gb Total to perform the whole operation
Vendor is saying:
100gb - live DB
100gb - last nights backup
100gb - to create tonights backup
100gb - extra needed to delete last nights backup after a successful
backup
--
400gb Total to perform the whole operation
I just don't understand why that extra 100gb is needed.

vendor claims.
100gb - live DB
100gb - last nights backup
100gb - to create tonights backup
--
300gb Total to perform the whole operation
Vendor is saying:
100gb - live DB
100gb - last nights backup
100gb - to create tonights backup
100gb - extra needed to delete last nights backup after a successful
backup
--
400gb Total to perform the whole operation
I just don't understand why that extra 100gb is needed.

Equal disk space needed to delete .bak file?
Kind of an obscure question, but here goes.
SQL2000 SP4
I have a E: drive on my SQL server that is ~400gb. On it you'll find
a ~100gb live DB file and last night's 100gb .bak file (maintenance
plan is set for one day retention). The vendor is telling me that I
am going to run out of space doing the SQL backups because 100gb is
used by the live DB, 100gb is used by last nights .bak file, 100gb
will be used to write today's .bak file, and the last 100gb will be
used in the deletion process of removing the old .bak file.
I can't say I know how SQL handles the removal of the old .bak file
but is this a true statement that SQL will need equal free space to
delete the old .bak file?SQL deletes old backups AFTER creating new ones, so you will need space for
at least two backups.
Look at it this way, what happens if your database blows up during a backup.
If you have an older backup, you are fine. If you are overwriting your only
backup, it is time to polish up the resume.
Personally, I would go out and buy a couple of USB drives and back up to
there. Last week my mother purchased a 500GB model for $99. If that is not
an option, you could look into one of the commercially available backup
compression tools. The three major ones are SQLSafe (www.idera.com),
LiteSpeed for SQL (www.quest.com), and SQL Backup (www.red-gate.com).

equal between a String and a Table atribute?
Ihave a if statement and a table with 2 atributes. They are descriptionand date. I will check if there is in the table some date like01-01-2008.
String test "01-01-2008";
if (test.Equals(here I will a SELECT query like SELECT date FROM appointmentTable))
{
textbox1.text = "The description on this date is: " + Here I will the descripton of the selected date
Does someone know how I can make something like this in C#? Must I use a datasource?
Hi,
Because of the nature of Datetime type i think you should not use string values to compare date values. The seperator character may differ or the time (hour,minute etc. ) part may differ...
Try one of these.
First way;
datetime test=new datetime("2008","1","1");
datetime dbValue=convert.ToDateTime(convert.ToDateTime(..get the value from database..).ToShortDateString()) ;
if (test.Equals(dbValue))
{
textbox1.text = "The description on this date is: " + Here I will the descripton of the selected date
}
here we get rid of the hour minute part that is different than 0: convert.ToDateTime(convert.ToDateTime(..get the value from database..).ToShortDateString())
Second way;
?n this way we use ToShortDateString() function of datetime type to make the hour minute part as zeros 0.
datetime test=new datetime("2008","1","1");
datetime dbValue=convert.ToDateTime(..get the value from database..).ToShortDateString() ;
if (test.ToShortDateString().Equals(dbValue.ToShortDateString()))
{
textbox1.text = "The description on this date is: " + Here I will the descripton of the selected date
}

Well, you will need to make a connection to the data base, to retrieve the results from your SQL statement, and then read the results.
This can be done using any of the datasource objects or manually by
1, creating a sqlconnection, (the connection to your database) sqlcommand (the SQL statement or stored procedure), and sqldataadapter (the mechanism that will save the results to a dataset)
2. fill the sqldatadapter into a dataset (dataset will hold your return results from the database in DataTables and DataRows)
3. check the values returned by iterating through the DataRow in the DataTable of the DataSet
Epoch Date
Help!!! I have an application I support that the vendor is not being

dates (# of ms since 1/1/1970). I found this script on Oracle but need help
converting it to T-SQL where it works without the arithmetic overflow error:
SELECT to_char(

If you see the formaula (epoch_num / 86400), 86400 is the number of seconds
in a day, so the formaula seems to be calculating days. Try second instead

Here's one way. If your epoch_num value is a decimal type,
you'll need to convert it to bigint, so you can use the modulo function.
declare @.epoch_num bigint
set @.epoch_num = 1092347839827
select @.epoch_num/86400000 + DATEADD (ms,@.epoch_num%86400000,'19700101')

EOF with SqlDataSource
I am trying to get record from a table and verify it with a textbox i have a sqldatasource.
i have a text box called txtEmail and this is my Select command. how can i get this working if its possible ?
something like txtEmail.text = SqlDataSource1.Secect then ... my code. (i dont know if this a correct way to do this)
<asp:SqlDataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:imacstestConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT
thanks,
Hi,
I'm not quite clear what you want. Do you mean querying with some conditions for a return from the data table and verify if it's equal with the value from the text box or just want to make a query according the value from the text box?
If it's the first scenario, see the following sample:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" DataSourceMode="DataSet" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TestConnectionString2%>" ></asp:SqlDataSource> SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand ="select CategoryName from Categories where CategoryID='1'";DataView dw = (DataView)SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);string str = dw.Table.Rows[0][0].ToString();if (str ==this.TextBox1.Text) {// equal}else {// not equal} If it's the second scenario, just make select statement according the value from textbox directly.
this.SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand ="select CategoryName from Categories where CategoryID=@.id";this.SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("id",this.TextBox1.Text); DataView dw = (DataView)SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);string str = dw.Table.Rows[0][0].ToString(); Thanks.
EOF transactional replication
Hi. I am going out of my mind trying to get transactional
replication working.
Currently the snapshot completes successfully, but I keep
receiving the following error when the initial snapshot
is being applied:
String data, right truncation
(Source: SERVER01 (ODBC); Error number: 22001)
---
String data, right truncation
(Source: ODBC SQL Server Driver(ODBC); Error number:
22001)
---
Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data-file
(Source: ODBC SQL Server Driver (ODBC); Error number:
S1000)
I have added columns to both the source and destination
to make sure that are sequenced and match perfectly (data
types and null values - everything I can think of)
Using SEM I have been able to use the DTS Export/Import
Wizard to Import into the destination table without any
problems.
Does anybody know what could be causing this error and
how I can fix it.
Also I would really like to see the bcp out snaphot file
to view the contents. How can this been done? Do I need
to add any parameters to the bcp file?
I am at a complete loss... does anyone know how to fix
this, or what could possibly be causing the problem?
Thanks,

What level of MDAC are you on? Update to the latest MDAC version and see
how you go.
Hope this helps,

Hi Marcy,
As a full time support professional, my job is to make sure that we've
covered all possibilities. I have seen mismatched or outdated MDAC files
causing this error so I pass this info to you.
There is definitely something that's corrupting your data when you do a
synch. Synch is just bcp out and bcp in behind the covers. Do you
experience the same prob when you do the bcp operations manually?
Hope this helps,

Eric Cárdenas
SQL Server support|||Might be a stoopid question, but...
Am I suppose to bcp out to a .txt file and then bcp in the .txt file into the table. Or is there a smarter way for me to test the bcp option manually?
Thanks!

EOF Issue
I am trying to write data to a recordset and it doesn't write to the last record. Here is my code:
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open sql, conn, 1, 2
With rs
j = 0
Do While Not rs.EOF
rs(0).Value = j
j = j + 1
.Update
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
Set rs = Nothing
I think the problem is my eof setting but I don't know how to adjust that in code since I am not using an adodc. If that is my problem then can I get the code snippet, please?
Otherwise, what is my problem?
Thanks!Have you referred to any VB forums, as I can see most of the SQL database related questions. Try it and see.sql
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open sql, conn, 1, 2
With rs
j = 0
Do While Not rs.EOF
rs(0).Value = j
j = j + 1
.Update
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
Set rs = Nothing

EOF (end of file)
Hi! Is there an equivalent EOF function in Crystal Reports 8.5.?
I want to use a Do While Loop, but dont know the number of records so
I want to use the EOF so it will terminate upon reaching the end of the
file.
Thanks.you can have RECORD COUNT so based on that number you can specify total number of loops you will require in report

Environmental Variable
Does the setup for SQL also set the corresponding environmental variable, or
is this something that has to be done separately? If separately, which
environmental variable and how?
Thanks,
VictorHi ,
It is not at all required to set / create any environment variables before
SQL Server installation. The
installation program will do all the necessary path entries automatically.
Thanks
