DBMA_ALERT Substitute in MS SQL Server

Hi,
How can i acheive the same things in MS SQL SERVER like DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL in Oracle which sends the signal to external procedure.
Is this possible in MS SQL SERVER?
Many Thanks

Thanks,
This is waht DBMS_ALERT does for me.
I create a after insert trigger on Table
which has just a single line
DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL('INSERTALERT','Insert happened');
To receive this signal i have a code written in C++ which does
call dbms_alert.register('INSERTALERT');
and then
dbms_alert.waitone('INSERTALERT',<OUT>Message,<OUT>Status);
I left out the timeout field here hence this becomes blocking call.
Now whenever there is an insert in table it is notfied to the C++ Code.
This is what i wanted to acheive in MS SQL SERVER.
Waiting to listen soon from you.

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle - Emulating SQL Server databases

I want to offer Oracle connectivity from an ADO.NET application that was developed for SQL Server. The application accesses multiple databases, each having the same schema but each storing different data that is confidential to the users of each database. I’ve been reading up on Oracle but have not yet found a way to group tables, views, etc. in a way that would emulate the ‘databases’ of SQL Server.
The application currently uses the SQL ‘CREATE DATABASE’ command to generate each database and then populates each with the appropriate tables. However, CREATE DATABASE appears to work differently with Oracle, creating a new instance rather than a new ‘internal database’. I’m wondering if CREATE TABLESPACE would give me the functionality I’m looking for, if it were subsequently possible to refer to a specific table within a specific tablespace.
I guess it comes down to whether it’s possible to access specific groups of tables, views, etc. within Oracle (e.g. Groups A, B and C, each having relational tables T1, T2 and T3, and be able to access and update data within any specific table, say, B-T2), while also being able to limit access to any of the Groups.
Would ODP.Net offer advantages over the System.Data.OracleClient for this architectural problem?
Any thoughts on how best to proceed would be most welcome. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Sorry for the delay closing-out this thread but I work from a rural location and we lost our internet service for the two-weeks prior to the holidays. Now back on-line so let's wrap-up.
Oracle and SQLServer are now both being accessed from my ADO.Net application, so a big thanks to all who've helped me with this first use of the forum. Hopefully these final comments might help someone else in turn...
In migrating from SQLServer to Oracle I initially found it hard to stop thinking about accessing multiple databases on a single dataserver and start thinking more about a single instance of a database that supports muliple users, any one of which can be assigned the same schema. While I had used the SQL CREATE command to produce miltiple databases within SQLServer, it serves a completely different purpose for Oracle, creating an entirely new instance that I did not require.
Other differences that I ran in to included Oracle utilizing 'sequences' to autoincrement identities, whereas SQLServer lets you specify the identify while creating a table (here SQLServer may simplify declaration but Oracle's approach may be more powerful, e.g. if the same identity applies across multiple tables). Also ADO.NET command parameters use an '@' prefix in SQLServer but ':' for Oracle. But by-and-large few changes were required to my SQL to get up and running with Oracle (I found the 'Oracle Database SQL Reference' useful but no substitute for logging into Oracle and just trying each string in the 'SQL Commands' area).
Clearly I'm no database expert and I've barely scratched the surface with Oracle, but after logging in through the 'Database Home Page' I've found Oracle to offer a very 'clean' and logical interface that made it easy to move around the application and get a 'feel' for its organization and what it can do before digging furhter into the documentation. The 'Object Browser' is also a great way to quickly view and edit your various tables, views, sequences, triggers, etc., and ditto your data. In short, I think I'm going to like Oracle.
Thanks again and bye for now.

SQL server 2008 Installation media

HI all,
I am trying to install SQL server 2008 express, and in the "SQL Server Installation Center" i select "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or Add features to an existing installation" After selecting that option a window pops up and prompt me to "Browse for SQL Server 2008 Installation Media"
Now, what exactly is "SQL Server 2008 Installation Media"? how am i suppose to locate/browse the installation media on my computer?
i am totally new to SQL server and i am self-learning it from a book, the problem is that the book does not explain where to browse for instillation media!
my system info:
Windows 7 Home premium
64-bit OS
AMD 2.60 GHz
6.00 GB RAM

This is a solution for Windows 7 users who used the Web Platform Installer (I'm going to call it WPI).
1 - Make sure you have power shell installed.
2 - Install the sql 2008 SP1. google it and download it.
Now comes the detailed part...
You have to get a hold of the installation files without using WPI.   The WPI stores the installer executable on your computer and you have to run it and then get a hold of the directory it extracts before it deletes it.    You need to locate the WPI installation file and then run it manually. Mine was located at...
C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\installers\SQLExpressAdv\12A6B9C2237817DEEEB3DCE22AFFA25B6794850C
Of course you substitute your own username.   You may need to reveal hidden folders.   If you can't find it try running a search for the SQLExpressAdv folder.
In that folder you will find a file named "SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe" or something close to it. Run it and either on the first or second step you will see it extract a bunch of files.   Don't go any further after it runs that extraction.   Go to that folder and copy all the contents it extracted to a new folder and whamo.   That's where you will point your sql browse box to.
Now you can uninstall, set up servers, whatever it is you were trying to do.

JavaDB / Apache Derby equivalent to the SQL Server IsNull and Oracle nvl

Firstly, if questions for JavaDB are supposted to go somewhere else, sorry for posting in the JDBC section, but I couldn't find a specific section for it.
I'm trying to add support for Apache Derby to a piece of software that already has support for Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL. There is a lot of DB specific coding involved to get the best performance possible. Several of these queries involve checking to see if a nested query returns a value and substituting 0 if no rows are returned.
In Oracle the function is called: nvl
In SQL Server the function is called: IsNull
In MySQL the function is called: IfNull
I can't find an equivalent for Derby. Does one exist?

Hi,
I have tested using the following -
SQL*Developer Version 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34
and did the following -
Tools - Migration - Translation Scratch Editor
- made sure I was using the 'Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL to PL/SQL ' option in the 'Translateor' tab.
Then in the worksheet put in your entry -
PRINT '@HID=' + CAST(@HID AS VARCHAR(100))
This is then translated to the following -
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@HID=' || CAST(v_HID AS VARCHAR2(100)));
END;
Is this what you did and the entry you typed into the scratch pad ?
If not, can you give the full code that gave the error -
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@HierID=' || CAST(v_HierID AS VARCHAR2(100)));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@NodeType=' || CAST(v_NodeType AS VARCHAR2(100)));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@NodeTypeReqd=' || CAST(v_NodeTypeReqd AS VARCHAR2(100)));

Help on SQL server

Can someone help me get started on building a process that will retrieve a recordset
from a SQL Server 2000 database, loop thru it comparing it to another database
and if a coresponding entry is found update it or if not insert it.
I think I have the process defined but I don't know (to dumb mabey) how to use
the database controls.

You need to define a SQLConnection Pool and a datasource.
As in
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver"
InitialCapacity="5" MaxCapacity="10" Name="mySQLPool"
Properties="user=username;password=password;server=mydatabase@myserver:1433"
Targets="wlserver" URL="jdbc:weblogic:mssqlserver4"/>
and
<JDBCDataSource JNDIName="myDatasource" Name="myDatasource"
PoolName="mySQLPool" Targets="wlserver"/>
Substitute in correct info for mydatabase, myserver, and targets. if you
don't know how to do this, post a follow up.
From here you just get a connection from the connection pool. I create a
base abstract class which I extend in all my dao classes,
public static Connection getCon() throws NamingException, SQLException
return ((DataSource) new
InitialContext().lookup("pdsDatasource")).getConnection();
Then, any class that extends your base abstract class needs this:
Connection con=null;
CallableStatement cs=null;
ResultSet rs=null;
try
con=getCon();
cs=con.prepareCall("{call NAME_OF_STORED_PROC_OR_SQL_QUERY(?,?)}");
cs.setString(1, "somevalue");
cs.setString(2, "someotherValue");
rs=cs.executeQuery();
This gives you a resultSet. If you are proficient in .NET and SQL, don't
confuse a resultSet with a RecordSet.
They are totally different. A resultSet is merely a pointer. Typcilly you
iterate through and build a collection of
model objects or apply some other technique to return the data to the
business layer.
In many cases, data replication can be done linking SQL Servers together,
using linkserver and writing stored procs
that run under jobs. You may consider doing this instead of having a java
app in WebLogic do it.

Hi Nandu,
As your description, you come across an error(vsjitdebugger.exe cannot be found). Please confirm if the error occurs during the installation of SQL Server 2012. If so, please help post SQL Server setup logs. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates
in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Base on my research, this error could be caused by that the previous uninstallation is improper and vsjitdebugger.exe file could be mistakenly deleted.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could start your computer into Safe Mode and fix your problem with one of the following methods. For more information, please refer to the article:
http://www.fixerrorkit.com/fix-error/fix-vsjitdebugger.exe-error.html.
1. You could execute the sfc /scannow command following steps below.
a. Press "Windows+R", type in cmd and then right click "Run as administrator"
b. Type in sfc /scannow (There's a space between sfc and /scannow) into the dialog and hit Enter key and click ok.
c. Wait until the System File Checker finishes the check.
2. You could use a Windows repair installation, also known as a Startup Repair to repair your Windows system files.
3. You could install the latest Windows updates to fix vsjitdebugger.exe error. Microsoft often releases new service packs and system patches to replace or update some DLL files of Windows system.
4. You could use third-party tool such as Automatic Error Fix Tool to fix your vsjitdebugger.exe error. However, Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party software or information found there.
In addition, if you are unable to install Visual Studio, I suggest you post your question in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Hi,

ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Transparent gateway for ODBC][H001] The environment variable <HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO> is not set.
* Set HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO in the hs{sid}init.ora file to the data source name.
Example: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = <ODBC DataSource Name>
* Make sure the hs{sid}init.ora file exists in the ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory and has the same name as the SID in the LISTENER.ORA.
Example: If SID=hsodbc in the listener.ora file, then the hs{sid}init.ora file would be named ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/inithsodbc.ora

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.
