What is best practice to define length for a varchar field in table

Could it affect on optimization in future????

Hi Dilip,
Varchar(n/max) is a variable-length, non-unicode character data. N defines the string length and can be a value from 1 through 8,000. Max indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes (2 GB). The storage size is the actual length of the data entered
+ 2 bytes. We always use varchar when the sizes of the column data entries vary considerably. While if the filed data size might exceed 8,000 bytes in some way, we should use varchar(max).
So the conclusion is just like Uri said, use varchar(max) or varchar(4000) is depends on how much characters we are going to store.
The following document about varchar in SQL Server is for your reference:

Hi,
Try using the Function Module "DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET". You can use this for fetching the complete details of a structure or, a specific field.
Input:->
TABNAME        PA0001
FIELDNAME     PERNR
Output:->
Check the DFIES_TAB it will contain all the details you need for the specific field.
Sample--->
CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
EXPORTING
    TABNAME              = 'PA0001'
*   FIELDNAME            = ' '
*   LANGU                = SY-LANGU
*   LFIELDNAME           = ' '
*   ALL_TYPES            = ' '
*   GROUP_NAMES          = ' '
*   UCLEN                =
*   DO_NOT_WRITE         = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   X030L_WA             =
*   DDOBJTYPE            =
*   DFIES_WA             =
*   LINES_DESCR          =
TABLES
   DFIES_TAB            = MY_DFIES_TAB
*   FIXED_VALUES         =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   NOT_FOUND            = 1
*   INTERNAL_ERROR       = 2
*   OTHERS               = 3.
Hope this was of some help.

Best practice on Oracle VM for Sparc System

Dear All,
I want to test Oracle VM for Sparc System but I don't have new model Server to test it. What is the best practice of Oracle VM for Sparc System?
I have a Dell laptop which has spec as below:
-Intel® CoreTM i7-2640M
(2.8GHz, 4MB cache)
- Ram: 8GB DDR3
- HDD: 750GB
-1GB AMD Radeon
I want to install Oracle VM VirtualBox on my laptop and then install Oracle VM for Sparc System in Virtual Box, is it possible?
Please kindly give advice,
Thanks and regards,
Heng

Best practices to reduce downtime for Database releases(rolling changes)

Hi,
What are best practices to reduce downtime for database releases on 10.2.0.3? What DB changes can be rolling and what can't?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
RJiv.

I would be very dubious about any sort of universal "best practices" here. Realistically, your practices need to be tailored to the application and the environment.
You can invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into minimizing downtime if that is the only goal. But you'll generally pay for that goal in terms of developer and admin time and effort, environmental complexity, etc. And you generally need to architect your application with rolling upgrades in mind, which necessitates potentially large amounts of redesign to existing applications. It may be perfectly acceptable to go full-bore into minimizing downtime if you are running Amazon.com and any downtime is unacceptable. Most organizations, however, need to balance downtime against other needs.
For example, you could radically minimize downtime by having a second active database, configuring Streams to replicate changes between the two master databases, and configure the middle tier environment so that you can point different middle tier servers against one or the other database. When you want to upgrade, you point all the middle tier servers against database A other than 1 that lives on a special URL. You upgrade database B (making sure to deal with the Streams replication environment properly depending on requirements) and do the smoke test against the special URL. When you determine that everything works, you configure all the app servers to point at B and have Streams replication process configured to replicate changes from the old data model to the new data model), upgrade B, repeat the smoke test, and then return the middle tier environment to the normal state of balancing between databases.
This lets you upgrade with 0 downtime. But you've got to license another primary database. And configure Streams. And write the replication code to propagate the changes on B during the time you're smoke testing A. And you need the middle tier infrastructure in place. And you're obviously going to be involving more admins than you would for a simpler deploy where you take things down, reboot, and bring things up. The test plan becomes more complicated as well since you need to practice this sort of thing in lower environments.

How to use same Data Type and Length for two fields

How to use same data type and length for two fields when using 'FOR ALL ENTRIES IN' in a select statement? For instance the select queries are :
SELECT bukrs gjahr belnr lifnr budat bldat zlspr dmbtr waers shkzg
FROM bsik
INTO TABLE it_bsik
WHERE bukrs = p_bukrs
AND lifnr IN s_lifnr.
IF it_bsik IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr awkey awtyp
FROM bkpf
INTO TABLE it_bkpf
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bsik
WHERE belnr = it_bsik-belnr
AND gjahr = it_bsik-gjahr.
IF it_bkpf IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr lifnr xblnr
FROM rbkp
INTO TABLE it_rbkp
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bkpf
WHERE belnr = it_bkpf-awkey+0(10)
AND gjahr = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Here it gives an error in the 3rd select query that 'When you use the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "GJAHR" and "IT_BKPF2-AWKEY+10(4)" must have the same type and the same length.'
Kindly clarify.

Hi Saurabh,
Please see the example code that I have developed for you. It will help you solve the problem.
REPORT ZTEST_3 .
tables : BKPF.
data : begin of it_bkpf occurs 1,
         belnr type RE_BELNR,
         awkey type awkey,
         awtyp type awtyp,
         gjahr type GJAHR,
       end of it_bkpf.
data : begin of it_bkpf1 occurs 1,
         belnr type RE_BELNR,
         awkey type gjahr,              " change the data type
         awtyp type awtyp,
         gjahr type GJAHR,
       end of it_bkpf1.
data : begin of it_rbkp occurs 1,
         belnr type BELNR_D,
         gjahr type gjahr,
         lifnr type LIFRE,
         xblnr type XBLNR,
       end of it_rbkp.
select belnr
       awkey
       awtyp
       gjahr
       from bkpf
       into table it_bkpf
       where BUKRS = 'TELH'.
loop at it_bkpf.
it_bkpf1-belnr = it_bkpf-belnr.
it_bkpf1-awkey = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).           "Here only append the required length.
it_bkpf1-awtyp = it_bkpf-awtyp.
it_bkpf1-gjahr = it_bkpf-gjahr.
append it_bkpf1.
clear it_bkpf1.
endloop.
select belnr
        gjahr
        lifnr
        xblnr
        from RBKP
        into table it_rbkp
        for all entries in it_bkpf1
        where belnr = it_bkpf1-belnr
This is just an example. Change the fields according to your requirement.

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

Hardware Requirements for a SCCM 2012 CAS with SQL Server Remote

The hardware requirements for a CAS server with SQL Server Enterprise locally installed are:
16 cores (Intel Xeon L5520 or comparable CPU)
64 GB of RAM
1.5 TB of disk space for the operating system, Configuration Manager, SQL Server, and all database files.
Does anyone know what the hardware requirements are if SQL Server Enterprise is remote from the CAS server? It's not listed. -Shane

Even though I am going to be strung up for even saying this, I do agree there is a use for a CAS outside of 100,000 users. If you do indeed have distinct admins managing their own images and apps in remote
locations then I see the benefit of a CAS. A remote ConfigMgr console connecting to a primary site would perform poorly. Admin A at the primary site would not experience any issues but Admin B would be in for a lot of work and waiting. Any
time Admin B needed to add an app or image it would have to be copied up to the remote primary site and then distributed back down. This is not the best scenario.
There are scenarios in company merger situations (and others I am sure) where the management of both locations has not been consolidated down to one location yet and is not going to be done as part of the deployment or upgrade. If you had a 2007 environment
it is going to be very hard to convince the admin at the remote location that this upgrade is going to be a good thing for him/her. There is an option for the remote admin to RDP into a server in the primary site but the image and apps still need
to be distributed down to the remote location. During testing this can be very time consuming.
I do agree that adding a CAS adds additional complexity but in some cases such as the one I described it is the right decision.
Thank you for the reply. And i totally agree that in some cases a design like that is a necessary evil (but not by our personal wants).
We had that design with 2007 (implemented before my time), and as you predicted EU admins complained about difficulty using the console RDP-ed into a box close to the primary site. The bandwidth to and from different regions is out of scope for me so I do what
I can with what I have. We too will be moving forward with a CAS hierarchy.
Administratively the other IT depts in other regions operate on their own. I dont handle any of the EU computers on a day to day basis whatsoever, etc. We're not merging but our IT shops operate with near independence.

Creation of DB Adaptert for calling stored procedure in MS SQL server

Hi,
I need to create a DB adapter to call a stored procedure in MS SQL Server.
I have gone thru the thread MS SQL Server database connection
It mentions that we need to use a command line utility for generating the wsdl and xsd for calling stored procedures in MS SQL server. Please provide information where to find this utility and how to use it.
Any links to tutorials are welcome.
Thanks !!.
Silas.

Command line is required for stored procedures, if you are using the basic options you don't need to worry.
(1) Download MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver from Microsoft Site. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx
(2) The download is self extracting exe file. Extract this into Program Files on your machine. It should create folder as "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver"
(3) In above mentioned folder search for sqljdbc.jar copy this file into JDeveloper\JDBC\lib folder.
(4) Open JDeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev.conf file add following entry.
AddJavaLibPath C:/Program files/Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC/lib
While executing this step make sure that your JDeveloper is closed.
(5) On command prompt go to J Developer folder and execute following command
jdev -verbose
This will open JDeveloper.
(6) Now go to JDeveloper > Connections > Database Connections > New Database Connection
(7) Select Third Party JDBC
(8) Specify MS Sql Server User Name, password and Role.
(9) In connection page specify following
- Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
- For class path browse to C:/Program files/Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC/lib folder, select sqljdbc.jar add it as library.
- Specify URL as following.
jdbc:sqlserver://SERVERNAME:1433;databaseName=MSSQLDBNAME;
(10) Go to Test page and test it.
cheers

Cannot connect to SERVER. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\user'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 18456) - SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2

I've seen multiple blogs and forums with similar problems and SQL 2012 or 2008. But no solutions that work for me.
I have installed SQL Server in mixed mode (SQL and Windows authentication). I can create new Login accounts in either mode. However, I cannot get an AD security group Login account to work. I am trying to add group 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' or 'SERVER\Administrators'
as a Login so that any of the domain's administrator accounts can open SQL Server Management Studio and act as an 'sa' account on this server.
I have deleted the SQL account 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins'.
I have restarted SQL.
I have restarted the Win2K8r2 server.
I have launched SSMS as Administrator from the desktop of SERVER.
I have launched SSMS as another user (and used 'DOMAIN\user' to lauch it) from the desktop of SERVER.
I can create a login account named 'DOMAIN\user' (who happens to be a member of the 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' group) and give this account 'sa' security, and when I do that, this account works as expected...
How do I add a security group as a Login account and give all members of that group the ability to be an 'sa' account?

Hi geoperkins,
Are you getting the following error message?
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11
Login failed for user <Domain\user>. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error.
If that is the case, the issue could be due to that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions could not be checked due to UAC. Please disable UAC firstly and check if it is successful to log in SQL Server.
Another reason could be that the domain controller could not be reached. You may need to resort to re-creating the login. Create a new group in AD, add users to the new group, then add the group to the local admin group and create login for the group in SQL
Server.
There is a connect item describing similar issue for your reference.

How to Generate script of tables in SQL Server that is compatible for MySQL?

Dear All,
I want a part of the tables of my database of SQL Server 2008 R2 to move to MySQL database. For that, I generated script in SQL Server. But that did not run in MySQL. The MySQL database is in different server. So, have anyone any better idea?
Thank and Regards,

Microsoft does not have any tools to migrate TO MySQL. I suggest you post your question to a MySQL forum. Or hire a consultant.

Bug regarding not filling in length of varchar field in logical model?

I successfully was able to create a logical model, engineer to relational, and generate DDL from this.
However, I found after generating the DDL and attempting to run it, I received errors in creation of some tables saying "missing left parentheses."
After going back and checking, it turned out that I was somehow able to define columns of type varchar in the logical model without putting in a length for the column. Data Modeler generated the DDL for the table looking something like this:
CREATE TABLE LIC_TYPE
    ID     INTEGER NOT NULL ,
    CODE   VARCHAR2 (1024 BYTE) NOT NULL ,
    "DESC" VARCHAR2
LOGGING ;
(for the DESC column) -- which then throws an error.
Should DDL generation should throw a warning when attempting to create CHAR or VARCHAR columns without a length instead of generating the DDL with no errors? Or is this intended functionality?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this problem. I've logged an enhancement request.

Best Practice in defining variables

Hi All
What is the best practice to use variables inside a method and any specific advantage .i.e. initializing variables starting of the method vs defining them where they are required.
public String abc(){
int i = 0;
String s = null;
i = 10 + 50;
s = "Java" + "world";
return s;
vs
public String abc(){
int i = 10 + 50;
String s = "Java" + "world";
return s;
}

Another (IMHO) important reason is that it eases the use of refactorings provided by your IDE.
Look at this code: public int testRefactoring() {
          int result = 0, factor = 0;
          RefactoringTest rt = new RefactoringTest();
          result = rt.getA();
          factor *=result ;
          result= factor;
          result += rt.getB();
          return result;
     }As you may see the calculation of the result uses only values from the class <tt>RefactoringTest</tt> so it should be placed there. This is no problem since almost any IDE can do this in 2 steps:<ol><li>extract method</li><li>move method (to one of its parameters)</li></ol>Lets start with the first step: <ul><li>select lines 4 to 7 </li><li> hit "shift+alt+m" (in eclipse),</li><li> enter a name for the new method </li><li> click OK.</li></ul>
The result is a method with 3 Parameters. Two of them are useless.
If you'd switch line 2 and 3 you could include the variable declaration in your selection thus leading to a method with one parameter only...
bye
