Are you sure this works? Surely, if there are duplicate rows there are duplicate ids?
I mean, if you have this
id name
1 bob
2 fred
1 bob
your query will not delete anything as all ids occur in the distinct.
Or have I missed something?

you are not suppose to have that problem you know?!
my advice for you is to start all from the beginning!!!
Question yourself why you need that? can´t you achieve what you want to do without creating duplicate rows?
can you see that you are creating unnecessary procedures!

Cannot be done using restore. You can use SSIS, bcp or other tools to transfer data from 2005 to 2000.

hi all,
i am new to SQL Server
i want to Create backup of my database and restore it programmatically.
i search many example on Google and also on Code project(USING SMO object) but no link fulfill my requirement.Each example give error "Backup failed for Server 'MachineName\InstanceName'.
Then i use following stored procedure to create backup
Create PROCEDURE CreateBackupFile<br />
@BackUpPath varchar(200)<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
<br />
Backup Database Test to disk = @BackupPath <br />
END
above procedure works well when i run via VB.net
but now the problem with Restore.I use following statement
Create PROCEDURE RestoreBackupFile<br />
@RestoreFilePath varchar(200)<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
<br />
RESTORE DATABASE Vehicle<br />
FROM DISK = @RestoreFilePath<br />
END
but when i run this procedure then it give error "Database is use for this session. Use Master'
after that i modify above procedure as following
Create PROCEDURE RestoreBackupFile<br />
@RestoreFilePath varchar(200)<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
Use master<br />
Go<br />
RESTORE DATABASE Vehicle<br />
FROM DISK = @RestoreFilePath<br />
END
but now one more limitation appear that we can not use the 'Use database' statement within Stored procedure,function and trigger
Pleast suggest how can i resolve this problem.

RestoreBackupFile-procedure cannot be in the database you are restoring (restore command restores the database completely including stored procedures tables etc).
You must either create the procedure into another database or call the restore from the program.

i tried but now this give the error
"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
i already close all connection to my database. Also i close my IDE.
Please suggest.
|
|
|
|
|
The reason for the error is that some connection is still using your database (you can use Management Studio to find out the connection).
If you want to remove the connections from your database, you can try adding
ALTER DATABASE Vehicle SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
That closes all connections from the database and rolls back all active transactions.

Thanks mika for your quick response
i resolve the problem by using ClearAllPools procedure provided by .net.
one more thing ,Whether there are any other method for restore. Since this method require one more databse
Thanks a Lot
|

For actual restore there is no other method. You need two databases if you want to have a stored procedure which does the restore. If you place the restore command into an application, you won't need another database.
Depending what you want to achieve, you can search for alternatives for restoring a database, such as detach/attach database, loading data using SSIS or bcp etc.

Using .Net (SqlConnection and SqlCommand classes):
- connect to SQL Server
- use master database (or connect directly to it)
- optionally disconnect other users from your database if there are any using the command from my previous post
- execute the restore statement
- release the database to multi user state
So basically the logic is the same, but it isn't placed inside a stored proc but a calling aplication which doesn't connect to your database (Vehicle) but to master database.

hi Mika,
Thanks a lot.
i am stupid so i create temp database(and not use the master database).
Previously i use restore statement in code but with connection object i use the main database.
Now i use master database.
One more question what is the life time of this type of backup mean 1 day,2 day... (Please see my first post of this Thread for backup procedure)
once again
Thanks you very much
|
|

|

I don't quite understand what you mean with lifetime?
You can take a backup today and restore it back one year later if you want. However you will loose then all changes that have taken place within a year. So a backup file is valid as long as you keep it somewhere safe.

There is no simple answer, what you are looking at is optimisation, and without knowing lots more information nobody can advise you. For example, how big is the table, what are the main queries going to be on?
Optimisation is a large subject with no cut and dried answers. If you are using sql server then look at the query plans, and sql server 2005 also has (under the Query menu) Analyze Query In database Engine Tuning Advisor which can give you some good guideline.

Tuning advisor is under the Query Menu, but its not there if you nly have the express version.

Hi Guys.I have a table in database Access with a Font(example:VN-Times).I want to bring all struct and data from Access to Sql with Font default in SQL(Unicode).Please help me how to do 
if you cound not try then
msgbox("you will lose")
else
msgbox("you can change yourself")
end if
|
|
|
|
|
Databases don't store fonts. You either have char/varchar (standard ascii characters) or nchar/nvarchar which is unicode.

It sounds like he is storing font characteristics for some control in his database. If that is the case, what's so hard about replicating Access fields into SQL, doing the proper conversions of the field types?

I just started with SSRS and I created a report with the following structure:
MY MONTHLY EXPENSES
Total Income: $7,800.00
// Group by Week
Week: 1
Biller Name Amount Due Due Date
------------ ---------- ----------
Children's Savings $150.00 9/11/2008
Sam's Club $15.00 9/11/2008
Total Week 1: $165.00
Week 1 Balance: $7,635.00
-----------------------------------------
Week: 2
Biller Name Amount Due Due Date
------------ ---------- ----------
Tuition $80.00 8/5/2008
Cable $95.00 8/5/2008
Citibank $400.00 8/8/2008
Discover $200.00 8/6/2008
Water $35.00 8/7/2008
Bank of America $200.00 8/1/2008
Health Insurance $350.00 8/1/2008
Total Week 2: $1,360.00
Week 2 Balance: $6,440.00 (wrong!)...
-----------------------------------------
... and so on until the last week of the month. As you may noticed the second Week Balance is resulting from the subtraction of the Week Expense 2 value from the Total income what is incorrect since I previously subtract it from the previous week (total week 1), so it should be something like:
$7,635.00 (week balance 1) - $1,360 (total week 2) = $6,275 (week balance 2).
At the end of the report I'd like to have the remain balance. something like:
Remain Balance: (7,800 - (tw1 + tw2 + tw3 + tw4...))
My question is: How can I evaluate the value in Textboxes and make them interact inside he report so I can accomplish the right calculation?
It seems simple but I couldn't find a solution for this yet.
TIA for any suggestion!

If you have created an application which uses database, and installed it for your client. Next you have updated the application and updating the database structure. So the client's database and the newest database has different structure. What is the ideal way to update the database structure, and still using client's previous entered data. I use C#.
