You could restore the backup to another server and update the data back from the Staff-table on that restored database. This way you don't destroy other data in the production database.
For updating the data back from restored database, you can use for example SQL statements using linked server.

Oops it happens all the time, even to people who are very carefull,Everyone has work with SQL, has done something like that and you know what, If your Staff table was updated after the Back.There is no way you can recover those lost Updates. It happens to everyone remember that

I am having trouble with the Between condition and CASE expression in a stored procedure. I have set it up such that if a beginning date and end date are specified then return all records between the specified date range. If neither date is specified then I just return records that are between the actual date for records (basically Between 11/15/2008 and 11/15/2008). When I try to save the sp it gives me an "Incorrect Syntax near the keyword AND' error. I'm a newbie to using the CASE Statement so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to all that respond.
--Case statements to determine which parameters to pass in
u.userCreationDate BETWEEN CASE WHEN @beginDate IS NULL
THEN u.userCreationDate AND u.userCreationDate
WHEN @endDate IS NULL THEN u.userCreationDate AND u.userCreationDate
ELSE @beginDate AND @endDate
END
|

Perhaps the easiest way to create the logic you're after would be using COALESCE funtion. Something like:
u.userCreationDate BETWEEN COALESCE(@beginDate, u.userCreationDate)
AND COALESCE(@endDate, u.userCreationDate)
If you want to use larger expression in BETWEEN operations you should use parenthesis like:
... BETWEEN (...) AND (...)

I used the COALESCE Function and it worked. Thanks Mike. Before closing, if you do not mind can you tell me exactly how that function works.

I need to solve the problem to execute sp_addextendedproperty with a new description for a column but that does in all the databases (more than 20) for typical the record created_id, deleted_id, updated_id….
I have proven it with sp_MSForeachDB and with a cursor for the tables nested within a cursor for databases but always it gives some problem with "USE @database".
This he would be the one that I believe that it would have to work but there is some detail that forgets to me.
Thank you very much, I have always worked with Oracle and I am new with Transact

Didn't go through all the code, but at least it seems that you are using exec in parts. First when you change the database using exec, the change is valid only in the context where it's executed. Later on when you execute a procedure, the context is back in the original (master).
So you should build the execution string as a whole and then execute it. Something like:
@sqltext = 'USE CorrectDataBase; EXEC sp_...'
EXEC (@sqltext)
Hope this helps you forward,
Mika

Hi, thanks for looking
I have a numeric column that i would like to reorder
I mean, there are gaps between the numbers, for example: 1,3,4,5,8,9
I would like it to be: 1,2,3,4,5,6
This column is the primarty key, i obiously have many rows
In other words, i want this column to have the value corresponsing to the row number
How could i accomplish this?
Thanks in advance

Well, after thinking or a little bit, i found a solution using row_number() and a temp table
But i remember once i saw another way, it was a single query, but i dont remember where i saw it
If you know any other way, let meknow
Thanks
Alexei Rodriguez

I hope this query is which you saw:
select <br />
(select count(t1.columnname)+1 from mytable as t1 where t1.columname < mytable.columnname) as RowNumber<br />
from mytable

Thanks for the reply
I was talking about a single query to update the numeric column according to a sort
Im trying to eliminate all the gaps on my primary key, You know about the little problem with autoincremented columns
Alexei Rodriguez

Alexei, auto incrementented numbers should NEVER be "filled". Read the link from Mika. You are heading down a very nasty path....

When using autoincrement for primary key (surrogate key), the values should have no meaning. For this reason the gaps shouldn't be any problem in a real world situation. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key[^].
The operation you're thinking of, should include:
- copying the actual data to for example temp table
- re-seeding the identity
- inserting the data back
However, if you have foreign keys referencing to this table, this sequence is much more complicated.

Hi all,
I am using SQL Server 2000 in my organization. We have several databases. I want to restrict a set of users from accessing other databases using Enterprise Manager. In other words, these users should be able to access only their database where they have been created as users through Enterprise Manager.
Now I have read that creating Database specific roles help to restrict access. But unfortunately the role permissions cannot be spanned across databases. Therefore, are any SQL MVPs or intelligent readers out there who can provide me an answer. Many thanx in advance.
Regards
vinodi

Creating a role in a database helps you to restrict access for objects in database. If you don't want that a user has access to a database at all, you'll manage database users.
First create a login and then add that login as a user to those databases you want. See:
- sp_addlogin[^]
- sp_adduser[^]

I have a table that looks like this:
11
28
18
.
.
.
i'm trying to roll up the values so it would take the value and add it to the previous sum of all the rows above it
11
39
57
.
.
.
I am having the hardest time, any ideas?

ahhh stupid me, forgot about fetch
DECLARE SalesYearCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT * FROM #tmpSalesYear
OPEN SalesYearCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM SalesYearCursor
INTO @Percent,@xxxxx,@xxxxx,@xxx
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @Current = @percent + @previous
SET @previous = @Current
UPDATE #tmpSales SET Roll = @Current
WHERE Percentage = @percent
AND SalesYear = @year
FETCH NEXT FROM SalesYearCursor
INTO @Percent,@xxxxx,@xxxxxx,@xxxxxx
END
CLOSE SalesYearCursor
DEALLOCATE SalesYearCursor
EDIT: removed names that identify business

Not sure, but sounds like ROLLUP / GROUPING operations. Have a look at this, it might help you: GROUPING (Transact-SQL)[^]

What I need to do seems really easy, but I don't know how to do it and haven't been able to find the answer.  I have a SQL reporting services report that takes a date parameter. I want to create a subscription to the report that will run early each morning and show the data for the day prior. Nothing fancy, just a Now - 1. Only Now - 1 doesn't work. Does anyone know if/how this can be done?

Not sure about SSRS, but in SQL you would say GETDATE()-1. If both of those don't work, what's the error message (or any other problem description)?

I'm familiar with the SQL command to do this, I wanted to know if there is a way to specify a dynamic parameter in an SSRS report. GETDATE()-1 would work perfectly, but the question is how to set that as the parameter?
Mike Devenney

|

Where are you launching the report from? C#? Could you post the code that's causing the problem.
I must admit that I haven't used SSRS very much, only client side invocation and from IIS so this may be beyond my knowledge...

SSRS reports can be scheduled for delivery (called a subscription) through the web interface. When setting up a subscription you can specify the value you want passed to the report when it runs. I want to pass GETDATE()-1 but don't know how.
