Re: stored procedure for restore .bak file - Database Discussion Boards

hey ashfield thanks for reply
i found the answer

before running restore command i have to use any other databse to make the restoring database free. After that when we run restore commands it works great.

Thanks for all ur replies

i usually have to Sp that Closes the Connection before i do a Back or Restore.

set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ClearDatabaseConnections] 

@DBNAME VARCHAR(255)

AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @SPID INT, @STR VARCHAR(255)

DECLARE USERS CURSOR FOR
	SELECT SPID
	FROM MASTER..SYSPROCESSES
	WHERE DB_NAME(DBID) = @DBNAME

OPEN USERS
FETCH NEXT FROM USERS INTO @SPID

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS <> -1
BEGIN
   IF @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
   BEGIN
      SET @STR = 'KILL ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, @SPID)
      EXEC (@STR)
   END
   FETCH NEXT FROM USERS INTO @SPID
END

DEALLOCATE USERS

as you can see it accept the name of the DB that you want to Restore.

i have database of sql

in User table there is field which contain encrypted password

this database is using with an application. so i know the string using which these passwords are encrypt so please can any one help me how can i get that passwords.

Regrads

If it's properly done you can't get the unencrypted passwords from the database.

The normal procedure is that you encrypt the supplied password with the same algorithm as was used when storing it in the database, and then compare.

I want to build a trigger for updating a summary table in SQL Server.

I have a summary table with records listing all the individual tables in my database. When I add a new record to the individual tables I wish to for it to update the summary record for the latest data.

Example:

When adding a new record with the date, I want the date to be entered in my summary table as the last date entered for that table, the name of the table will be listed.

I could do this with a stored procedure, but I would rather this be automatic with a trigger.

Can anyone help me with this, thanks in advance.

This is a really dumb idea, doubling your transaction cost to support a summary table that you query how often. Putting in a trigger (triggers are evil, like cursors) for such a trivial, non essential operation is not good.

Create a view or a stored proc to get the information when and if you need it.

A trigger is exactly like a proc except it can reference the inserted/updated record it is called from. Read BOL for some examples.

hi

You have a begin tran on the outside of a while loop and have a rollback on the inside with an unconditional commit on the outside. If a rollback occurs, the loop continues transaction-less and the commit will execute anyway = your error 3902. I would not wrap a transaction around a while loop if there was another way (there is!).

Never issue a commit or rollback without checking to see if there is actually a tran.

if @@trancount > 0
    rollback transaction

I would use a try-catch, without a doubt. Heres generally how a transaction could be handled:

begin try
begin transaction

--dml statement here

if @@trancount > 0
	commit transaction
end try

begin catch
	if @@trancount > 0
		rollback transaction
	print error_message() --(execute my error handler)
end catch

Some of the other wierd messages you are getting is because the proc failed to issue a commit or rollback at all leaving 'things' in an un-committed state. Until you have verified that the proc you are developing will always close the trans - issue either a commit or rollback after each 'test'.

Hi I am trying to create a stock scanner for my website. The user would choose and add certain criterias one by one, and a dynamic SQL statement would need to be created on the fly to retrieve the data.

Currently I am able to do this by appending pieces of SQL string after a long SQL string like the following:

Whenever "Add Criteria" button is pressed:

newQuery = "AND criteria > x"

userCriteria = userCriteria + newQuery

When "Retrieve Information" button is pressed:

Querystring = "Select * WHERE Date = date " & userCriteria

Is there a more efficient mechanism? If not that's also fine as it currently works well, but I just need some reassurance from experts. Smile | :)

Thanks!

If it works then you can only improve the structure of the query otherwise it is an exercise in string concatenation.

If the where clause is the only dynamic piece and the elements are known you can use something like

Where (IsNull(@AttrID, -1) = -1 OR AttrID = @AttrID)

where the default value is null or -1. Caveat, too many of these (about 6 IIRC) MAY affect the query performance I believe. I use it all the time and have had up to 8 elements in the where clause and it worked fine. The only benefit is it is not dynamic, not a huge issue!

I have a stock time series data in which a numerical indicator fluctuates over time. If I want to find out for each stock that has its indicator now over 30, how many days since the last time this indicator is less than 30?

In other words, how many days since the last time the stock's indicator crosses above 30?

Just for your reference, currently I have the following:

SELECT ticker,
DATEDIFF(d,(SELECT MAX(DATE) FROM....),'12/21/2009')
WHERE Indicator > 30 AND Date = '12/21/2009'

I'd greatly appreciate any help! Smile | :)

If possible please provide a sample code.

By the way, thank you Ashfield for your help on a similar question last time, later I was able to understand the code you gave me and utilized it in different ways. This is a bit more difficult for me though.

modified on Monday, December 21, 2009 12:06 AM

How about something like

select ticker,datediff(day,t.date,(select max(date) from table t1 
where t1.ticker = t.ticker and t1.indicator < 30))
from table t

You may have to play about a bit, but it should be somewhere close

Thank you Ashfield, I'll test it out later and come back if I still have an issue.

i exported data in a table from an apache derby dbase to a sql script so i could run on MS SQL(Studio Express) to get the data in my table
but then there is this script for this table anytime i try running the script i get the following error msg.

before this the script would not even open the Studio when i try opening it and an err msg of "out of memmory would pop up"

please help me as to how i can solve this errror.
.

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

Cannot execute script.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. (mscorlib)

How big is that script? Have you considered loading and executing it piece by piece?

You can execute scripts from the commandline, without open the Management Studio. That's described here;

thanks for attending to my question.
the size is 65.2MB..
i am going to loading in pieces.. and post my response back...

I envisaged a low powered machine or something. I never imagined a 65mb script Dead | X|

what a monster. I don't think I have ever seen such a beast.

it can't be low powered machine(4GB RAM, 2.8GHz Duo Core)
i finally exported it to csv and ported it excel. i had all data in there so just wrote
some sql statemet to import the data..into my tables. the whole dbase is in apache
derby and i need all of them in a platform i am comfortable with.

thanks

Hey,
In my project I’m going to use distributed databases. My target is creation of sales system so I will distribute for example order table. Mainly I use horizontal partition.
So my question is about solutions for .NET?Do you know any framework that supports heterogenic distributed databases?I want to define partition strategy in separate class(or alternatively in separate class). Then framework should allow me insert record and decide which database should be used.
It’s my first distributed database project so please share your experience. I have no idea how to start.

Yup, that's how you start. Then you pick up a pen and start doing research[^]. Find an example of an application that you would like to build, make a list of definitions so that you know what's going on, try to divide the work into smaller pieces, etc.

You'll find that magic happens right after you have started Smile | :)

I are Troll Suspicious | :suss:

I know foundations- I'm looking for framework that allow me inject partition strategy at runtime.
