With SQL Server 2005 Express, it seems I had to modify security settings to make it accept remote connections. I'm afraid I'm not very good at this sort of thing; my approach was to mash on the keys until it gave up in disgust and did what I wanted.

I may try your approach; nothing Microsoft has to suggest works.

How can i assign primary key to a field having BIT datatype in sql server 2000.
Thanks

A bit data type stores ones or zeros, you intend to have only 2 records in your table? I generally use int but even there I have run into the 32k limit.

To an existing table, or a new table?
DECLARE @TestTable TABLE(
[col1] bit NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
[col2] varchar(10) NULL
)
INSERT @TestTable
SELECT 0, 'item 1'
UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 'item 2'
SELECT *
FROM @TestTable; Results in;
col1 col2
----- ----------
0 item 1
1 item 2
INSERT @TestTable (col1, col2) VALUES (9, 'item 3') Will fail, since "9" is too large a value for type 'BIT'. The error will say that it's duplicate, since it tries to convert the "9" to a BIT, resulting in the value "1":
PRINT CAST(9 AS BIT) Results in "1"
INSERT @TestTable (col1, col2) VALUES (1, 'item 42') Will fail due to the primary key, since there's already an item with a value "1" for col1.

Slow day up North is it, besides 42 ALWAYS works, your definition of BIT must be wrong.

I'm slow in thinking today. Item 42 shouldn't work, since there already is an item with the pk-value of "1" inserted into the table.
BIT = { 0 | 1 }, and the first INSERT statement should fill the table to it's maximum capacity.

I have a Sql Express instaled at XP Prof. I need to avoid to the BUILTIN\Administrator to init session.
Thanks

This is a statement, not a question. But I'll take a whack at it anyway, and try to guess what you're trying to ask.
I'm guessing that you're looking for a way to avoid using the built-in Administrator account for your application. You can use Windows Authentication and assign access rights to users there, or you can create a new user in SQL Server Express and use that account for access. I believe you can assign Roles to users in SQL Server; Administrator would not be my first choice, unless you need this account to have full control over everything in the server. You might want to spend a few nights reading up about users and roles in the online help system before you jump into anything.
And no, I'm not an expert, but a newbie like you, as you can tell from the dumb question I'll be posting as soon as I submit this. But I have spent some time studying, and it's definitely worthwhile.

The problem ( or my be not ) is that you need administrator right to perform hard or soft maintenance in XP SO. and I want avoid that maintenance team have access to the databases. As we know BUILTIN\Administrator is derived from windows access rights. I've created a Sql login account with sysadmin rights but i can't to change permissions of BUILTIN\Administrator( for ex. avoid to init session). I don't know how do that..... thanks.

Date values have no format, they are just numbers. It is only when they are displayed that you apply whatever format you want.

You can use the below queries
SELECT DATENAME(MM, GETDATE()) + ' ' + CAST(DAY(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(2)) AS [Month DD]
SELECT REPLACE(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), GETDATE(), 106), 8), ' ', '-') AS [Mon-YYYY]
For more information kindly refer to link

Neither of these give the OP what they asked for.
The first gives "October 21" the second "Oct-2009"

Try using
SELECT DATENAME(MM, GETDATE()) + ' ' + RIGHT(CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(4)), 2) AS [Month YY]
This will give the result in the desired format
|
|
|
|
|
casting will make it slow

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it

But there is no direct way to get the date in the desired format

What about a larger value for the Time-Out[^]?

Most larger databases have backup functionality builtin.
What database are you using?

You should probably check with your dba  . One possibility could be the logs are full, another may be that you are waiting on a lock... Which DBMS are you using? Which version, and what is the SQL error number you are getting?

Hi All
Would you please help me, I have a stored procedure that calls a function within it. It is working fine when pointing to production database, but when
I change my connection to point to QA it raises an error. I have copied both the stored proc and the function from production to QA but still.
The error that I get is "A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate"
I am using SQL Server 2008 full version.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
