Alias with field name in MS SQL Server

Is it possible that we can define alias for field name in MS SQL Server?
For example:
mytable : Id, Name, Value
Could we define "AnotherName" for "Name" field that we can call it from sql
SELECT anothername from mytable

I don't know if you can "permanently" create an alias
without a view or something like that but if you just
want another name when you execute a select do this:
Select name as another name from tableAt least in some databases the syntax for that can vary slightly. So the following might be needed....
Select name as 'another name' from table

Retrieve available server names for MS SQL server

hello
Can somebody tell me how I can retrieve available server names for MS SQL server.
When MS SQL server loads it asks for server name to connect but on the same time has a combobox with the available server names(instace+database name). How can I provide the same functionality in my application?
Thank you in advance.

It isn't going to be as simple as just the name.
There are also different ways to connect and probably other parameters as well.
SQL Server Enterprise Manager probably uses a discovery protocol. It probably sends one or more messages requesting information and those servers that want to respond.
Note that none of that has anything to do with JDBC and discovering how it does that probably isn't easy. A packet sniffer might help.

How uninstall WSUS server role from Windows Server 2008 R2 with database hosted on remote SQL server?

Hello,
I'm looking to uninstall the WSUS server role 3.0 from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The thing is the database is hosted on a remote MS SQL server. I want to remove the database as well. I would like help for figuring out what I need to do to completely remove
WSUS and its database.
Any kind of help is appreciated! Thanks

Hi,
WSUS offers limited support for running database software on a computer that is separate from the computer where the rest of WSUS is installed. This section offers step-by-step
instructions for how to install WSUS in this configuration.
If you meet the uninstall issue with the normal uninstall, please post the detail information for us but if you just want to manage the WSUS related SQL data, you can refer
the following KB then delete corresponding database.
In the general procedure, you will create the related WSUS database as below::
Run WSUS Setup from the command line, using the SQLINSTANCE_NAME=servername\instancename command-line option, where servername is the name of the remote computer, and instancename
is the name of the SQL Server instance that you will use for WSUS.

How to get error's field name when execute sql error

I want to get the error's field name when execute sql error,but SQLException is not provide corresponding function to get it.
How can I do for it?

user523110,
I believe the "unique constraint" error message displays the name of the constraint, not the column name, as you have posted.
As far as I know, the only way to extract the column(s) would be to query the data dictionary using the constraint name provided in the error message.
Also, as far as I know, there is nothing in the JDBC API that can return the names of the columns associated with a given unique constraint.
Good Luck,
Avi.

User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
with this node might be removing the right.
I found following article:
"MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

Creating a view on KONA & KONH - Failed with 'Field name DATAB not unique'

Hi all,
    I am creating a view on KONA (Rebate Agreement) & KONH (Conditions Header) tables. The link is KONA-KNUMA = KONH-KNUMA_AG.
   The field 'DATAB' exists in both tables and I have included those two fields under 'View Fields' . When I tried to activate the View, it fails with 'Field name DATAB not unique'.
   The following is the complete error message:
Message no. MC060
Diagnosis
When you define aggregates (views, lock objects or matchcode objects), you can assign the aggregate fields your own names (the system assigns names to the basic fields automatically). These names must be unique.
System response
The system has established that the names assigned to the aggregate fields in an aggregate definition are not unique and issues an error message.
Procedure
Assign unique names to the aggregate fields in question.
   Why I am not able to create the view after including a field that EXISTS in two tables, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi,
you can include both fields (but what for??); most likely KNUMH will also complain after fixing DATAB (just a guess...).
You can include both fields if you name them differently (different aliases):
In the view fields tab, enter two different names in the column "view field".
this will work.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized
Any specific issue you are facing

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

Problem using alias field names in a sql query

Hello,
I have a question regarding a simple Oracle database SQL query writeup:
In the following (badly written but properly working) SQL query:
Query 1:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
(soe.field5 - (soe.field2 + soe.field3)) as field6,
(select comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 1:
I am re writing the code (soe.field2 + soe.field3) to get the alias field4 or column name field4 that I have created on the fly in the previously for use with the following fields. Can't I rewrite the query as follows. There is something simple missing!
Query 2:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6, <<< field4 does not work here
(select
comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select
soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 2:
Similar to the above problem, I was thinking to get a field parValue out of the CompTable table and re-use many times rather than the code shown in Query 1:
Query 3:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6,
soe.field7* (select comp.parValue from CompTable comp) as parValue1,
soe.field8 - (parValue1*soe.field7+ soe.field9) as field10 <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
parValue1*soe.field9 as TaxCondition <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
from
SomeTable soe
See that the query becomes so simple, but the above query does not work. There is something fundamentally wrong in my usage of the alias field names in creating other fields. The Query1 seems to be the only working option but its very slow as I am redoing and re-writing the whole code again and again to get the parValue field out of the CompTable table for use to create many other fields.
I will appreciate if you can guide me in the right direction on this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Creating New db(with new name) with the old db backup sql server 2008

Friends..
version: Sql Server 2008
I have a database in a name college1 (more than 200 tables and view etc...)
i want to create a new db with all the structures including the data of the above db college1 with a new name college2
so...i finished the step 1 successfully.. what are the other steps i have to do...like validating the invalid objects. etc....
Step 1:
RESTORE DATABASE college2 FROM DISK = 'D:\DailyDBbackup\college1.bak'
WITH replace,
move 'college2 ' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\college2 .mdf',
move 'college2 _log' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\college2 _log.ldf';
step 2: ?
Step 3: ?
thanks...

but...when i type
use college1
select * from (it will display all tables under the above db)
but when i do..
use college2
select * from (only system tables are displaying..)
Did restore completed successfully ? If yes Expand database , can you see tables in the new database you restored ?. Sometimes when you type incorrect word which does not matches anything you wont get help from intellicense you should not be worried about this

Isse with using Grouping Sets in SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
I created a query in SQL Server 2012 using grouping sets that works fine. When I try to use the same query in SQL Server 2008 I get an error ("Inccorrect syntax near SETS").
I researched using grouping sets in 2008 and didn't see any issue with my query. What is different in grouping sets 2008 vs 2012?
SELECT tl.ClientRegionCd as [Client Region Code] , tl.ClientRegionDesc as [Region Name], count(tl.CompleteICN) as [Trauma Letters Sent]
from TORT_Trauma_Letters tl
Where CONVERT(VARCHAR(26), tl.SecondNoticeSent, 23) between '2014-06-12' and '2014-06-12'
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS((tl.ClientRegionCd, tl.ClientRegionDesc), ())

CR with VS 2003 Oracle vs SQL Server 2005

VS2003
Windows XP
All Crystal Reports designed using "push" model (Seting the Report Document's SetDataSource property using a single table dataset)
I have a large VS2003 application (90+ Crystal Reports) using an Oracle database. The client wants to switch to SQL Server 2005. The application works with SQL Server "as is" except for the Crystal Reports. A query engine error is generated. The tables/views are quite simple using only integers, decimals, char and varchar columns, no datetime columns. The dataset's Name and datatable's Name are the same, the only difference is the data provider used. Microsoft's Oracle Data provider vs Microsoft's SQL Server Data provider. Any thoughts? Any workarounds?.
I am in the process of converting the application to VS2008 and the problem does not exist in the VS2008 version. Crystal Reports converted from VS2003 to VS2008 work with either database/data provider.,
Edit: It appears that Oracle does not differentiate between datatypes decimal and int32. Any thoughts. (Not the problem)

An assumption here is that your .NET 2003 app is using the bundled version of CR(?) - version 9.1. If that is the case, make sure you have updated your install with SP1:

re:

Not sure how this relates to Crystal Reports as such? But let's work on one issue per thread. If you want to work the data type issue more, please create a new thread. Otherwise, these things get too messy...

Execute SQL Task with Parameter - from DB2 to SQL Server

I am pulling data from DB2 to SQL Server.
1st Execute SQL task runs the following against DB2:
SELECT TIMESTAMP(CHAR(CURRENT_DATE - (DAY(CURRENT_DATE)-1) DAYS - 1 MONTH)) as START_MONTH
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;
I'm storing it as a Result Set.
Next I have a Data Flow Task. This pulls data from DB2 where the date matches the parameter.
FROM SCHEMA.TABLE t
WHERE DATE_TIME_COLUMN= ?
This works fine. Guessing, because the parameter source is DB2 and the Data Flow source is DB2.
The problem is, I want to remove existing data for the same date in the SQL table. IE, if I'm pulling March 2014 data from DB2, I want to be sure there is no March 2014 data in the SQL table. The main use is for re-runs.
So, I added another Execute SQL task after the first one that assigns the variable, and before the Data Flow Task. This runs the following statement against SQL Server:
DELETE FROM
database.dbo.table
WHERE DATE_TIME_FIELD >= ?
The package fails at the new Execute SQL Task with the following error message:
Error: 0xC002F210 at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM
SBO.dbo.tblHE_MSP_FEE_BUCKETS
WHERE T..." failed with the following error: "Parameter name is unrecognized.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established
correctly.
Task failed: Execute SQL Task
SSIS package "Load_MSP_Fee_Buckets_SQL.dtsx" finished: Success.
The program '[14240] Load_MSP_Fee_Buckets_SQL.dtsx: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I am assuming this is something to do with the Parameter source being DB2, and trying to use against SQL?
Any suggestions on how to make this work??
Thanks,
-Al H

Parameter name is unrecognized
is the key, how come DB2 is related if it runs against SQL Server
What I think is happening you do not use the OLEDB connection to SQL Server.
Likewise, if it is ADO then the query needs to be
DELETE FROM
database.dbo.table
WHERE DATE_TIME_FIELD >= @MyDate

Alias a field name in a join query

I have a database with spaces in the field names (not my fault).
I am having a problem with the query because one of the fileds I am joining on has a space in its name. See bolded text.
SELECT *
FROM employee_passwords
INNER JOIN employee_general_info
ON employee_passwords.Employee_ID=employees.[Employee ID]
WHERE username = '#username#' AND password = '#password#'
So I get this error message
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'employees.Employee ID'.
Is there a way to alias the employees.[Employee ID] field?

Should be
ON employee_passwords.Employee_ID=employee_general_info.[Employee ID]

Problem in EOImpl.doDML() ,with Identity column in MS SQL server.

Hello,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
My application is working with MS SQL Server.
One of the tables in the database has its PK as Identity column.
EO is created with the corresponding attribute as Primary Key.
Upon calling doDML() in EOImpl, it generates an insert statement and attempts to insert in the PK field as well. MS SQL does not allow insertion in PK field and throws exception.
I tried setting some configuration on EO PK attribute, but in vein. Also there is no other 'unique' column in table that can be setup as PK in EO.
Appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Amar

i think better to Oracle datbase as I am afraid of that Oracle won't be able to see your problem against sql server due to sql server is not their product!
