Per SAP Note 1241422 - Database fragmentation and reindexing improves performance
Summary
Symptom
During the lifetime of a database (any db not only SAP Business One) and due to insert\update\delete of data, the information in indexes is fragmented. Fragmentation exists when indexes have pages in which the logical ordering, based on the key value, does not match the physical ordering inside the data file. Heavily fragmented indexes can cause slow performance.
Other terms
Index, performance, re-index, reindex, slow, poor, DB

Loading Dimension members from SQL Server 2005 to Essbase Outline.

Hi Everybody,
I need to load dimension members from SQL server 2005 to Essbase outline:
Option 1:
I can retrive members from SQL to text file and then using Rule files load dimension members into outline.
option 2:
Using SQL Interface in System 9.
Option 3:
I can use ETL tools (ODI, Informatica etc)
I used Option 3 frequently and familier with, But i would like to use option 1 & option 2. If anybody has used option 1/2 kindly advice with correct steps
I would be very greatful for any help.
Version: 9.3.1
Regards
Kumar N

Hi Kumar,
For Option 2:
You have to create one DSN for the particular database(SQL Server) from where you want to retrieve the data.
Then Open Data Prep Editor and From File Menu Click on Open SQL and it will ask for the DSN connection details.
Enter the DSN details and write the query....
Thanks,

Import data from postgreSQL into SQL server 2005

I am trying to import one table from postgreSQL to SQL Server 2005 using sql server import and export wizard. When i test the connection after providing data source, location, username, password in the Data Link Properties section I get the message "Test Connection Succeeded". As soon as i press next to go onto next step i get the following error.

I have tried all sorts of different combinations for these properties but it always fails on this step. Can anybody help me with this?

The settings above worked for a small table with 3 rows. Now when I try to import the bigger table which I wanted to import in the first instance I get following out of memory error. Anybody knows how to work around this. I have checked my task manager and more than half of my memory was still not used when I get this error.

Pulling data from oracle into sql server 2005

hi,
these days i am working on sql server 2005 on windows server 2008 64 bit.
and oracle 10g on 32 bit unix.
my problem is that when i am pulling data from oracle into sql server it shows me about *500-700 entries less*.
why this is happening? is it because 32 bit to 64bit? or is it because of different os?

Akki,
are you using snapshot or replication from MSSQL? I am doing the same thing, hope to share your experience.
I am using import/export from MGT studio and pull some data from Oracle database, I am working on how to update the changes on these tables pulled from Oracle.
Thanks,

Move data from Citadel to SQL Server 2005

I wish to move data from a Citadel database. I have tried to use an ODBC connection to a Citadel database with little success. I can connect and write queries using Microsoft's Excel, but what I want to do cannot be done in Excel (due to Excel's row and column limitations and because I need a "heavier" lifter than Excel) . The data-tag names are longer than MS Access will accept and Visual Studio Professional 2005 connects but no queries are successful. MS Access can open the ALIAS table.
What I want.
I wish the UTC date and time, Data-Tag Name, and data values between start and end times (logical run) for data contained in the RAWDATA table of the ODBC connection. I need to repeat this for the 400+ data-tags in the Citadel database.
An ODBC connection is inherently slow and inefficient and thus isn't the connection of choice. However, I don't know of any other means to connect. I have years of data from which to extract runs on multiple DAS Citadel databases.
Is the Citadel database the best source for this data extraction or is there a "native" LabView database that this extraction process might use for more efficient data extraction?'
Is there a product marketed by NI that will extract this data to SQL Server or a delimited text file?

Thanks Amanda:
Today, I was able to connect from within MS Access via an ADODB connection to the ODBC Citadel database. That is working well so far and seems to be reasonably fast--returned 3 recordsets from the RawData table having about 370; 1,400; and 460,000 records in a little over 16 seconds from a PC with medium power (cpu configuration and RAM availability). The recordsets were ordered but no "WHERE" clauses were involved.
I'll use these recordsets to vet the algorithm I am developing to identify "runs"--there are 19 complete runs and 1 incomplete run at the end of the Citadel database. The next Citadel database repeats runs 18 and 19 and then has run 20 through whatever. The algorithm currently successfully finds the UTC run start date/time. Tomorrow, I'll work on the run end date/time portion of the algorithm and if all goes well Monday will be the big test of picking the data between the start and end times for each run for each of about 370 data tag names.
Thanks, again.

Inserting date from a jsp into sql server 2005 database

Dear Friends.,
i have a jsp page, in that there is a form with various user input fields. in that one field is date field. i tried to insert the date field into the sql server 2005 database. but it is not getting inserted into the database.
when i tried by inserting one field to database, it is getting inserted. for all the fields its works fine, except the date field.
i need hint or code to insert the date get from the jsp page to database.
i am using a servlet to do all database related things. i.e making connections, executing prepared statement queries
thanks
sekar.

The variable needs to be outside of the string to be recognized as a variable. You need to remove the variable from the string, then concatinate it onto the string (and concatinate any remaining string parts - the closing paren). For example:
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO table VALUES ('test', " + companyID + ")");
Hope that's clear enough and helps. Good luck on your thesis!

Automating Data Migration from SQL Server 2005

Hi All,
I need to migrate data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB ( Datawarehouse). The data migration involves updating Dimensions and Fact table. I have got painful job of switching topology to point to over 100 different weekly SQL DBs ( in sequence) and pull the data into DW. How can I automate my ODI process to switch from one after the other.
Any Ideas?
KS

ODI Variables are there to help you with this. Please go through this post at [http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2009/05/using_odi_variables_in_topolog.html] .
This will show you how to use a variable Oracle data server.
On similar lines you should be able to switch to any of your 100 weekly SQL server DBs.
And loop in a sequence to load data from all of them.
Hope that helps

Can't see data in data tab - sql server 2005

hello,
i am connected to a sql server 2005 database (with jtds driver), the connection is ok, i see the tables but i can't see data in data tab.
i have an error : incorrect syntax
somebody can help me ?
thank's in advance
alex

definitely. I was going to say, make sure you have the privileges to read data.
From Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on, it is recommended that you are a member of the db_datareader - so that data in the database can be read

INSERTING DATA INTO A SQL SERVER 2005 TABLE, WHICH HAS A IDENTITY COLUMN

Hi All,
I have to insert the data into a SQL SERVER 2005 Database table.
I am able to insert the data into a normal SQL Server table.
When I am trying to insert the data into a SQL Server table, which has a identity column (i.e. auto increment column in Oracle) I am getting error saying that can't insert value explicitly when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Had anybody tried this??
There are some SRs on this issue, Oracle agreed that it is a bug. I am wondering if there is any workaround from any one of you (refer Insert in MS-SQL database table with IDENTITY COLUMN
Thanks
V Kumar

Even I had raised a SR on this in October 2008. But didn't get any solution for a long time, finally I had removed the identity column from the table. I can't to that now :).
I am using 10.1.3.3.0 and MS SQL SERVER 2005, They said it is working for MS SQL SERVER TABLE, if the identity column is not a primary key and asked me to refer to note 744735.1.
I had followed that note, but still it is not working for me.
But my requirement is it should work for a MS SQL SERVER 2005 table, which has identity column as primary key.
Thanks

SQL Server 2005 data pull from Oracle

Hi, I am learning how to use Oracle and I ran into this problem.
My database is running on SQL Server 2005.
I have an ODBC connection to Oracle. I also have a VB .Net script that queries the Oracle table that the data resides in.
When the job is running, and if it stalls, I do not get a timeout error. It locks down my database and no other source systems can feed data to me; these are back logged in the queue.
Is there an easier way for me to make a connection that will pull data on a consistent basis? Please help ...
Student Learner

Learning how to use Oracle does not include taking data from Oracle and putting it into SQL Server.
From your description of what is happening I agree with BluShadow. This is not an Oracle issue. This is a coding in VB .NET issue.
Posting the statements you are executing against some unknown version of Oracle would be a good starting point.

How to present SAP R/3 data in SQL Server 2005 Reporting service?

Our company is using SharePoint Portal Server 2003 as our intranet. We are also using SAP R/3 4.6C to run their business. There are huge amount of important data in SAP database. There ere are business needs to present SAP data on SharePoint pages which are easier and more friendly to be accessed by users.
The top concern for IT people to meet this challenge is DO NOT CHANGE/UPGRADE THE EXISTING SAP SYSTEM which is so far run smoothly and stably. We cannot accept any risk to make big changes on SAP. and now we want to adopt the Microsoft SQLServer 2005 BI Solution. the most challenge is the ETL part.how to extract the data from SAP R/3 Data base to the SQL Server Data warehouse?
any suggestion or comments is welcome!

Hi
1.if you use web templates you can post the URL in share
point very easily.
any web developer will do that for you in 2 min.
2.this is a more chalanging issue.
the main issue is exacly as you defined it - the ETL.
the main advantage of BW over most BI tools is its
connectivity to SAP R3 and CRM.
But still there are many way's to extract data out
of any SAP sys and in R3 the data model makes it quite
easy.
In CRM its much more complicated because of the much
more complex Data Model.
Here are a few way's to extract data from SAP:

Update data automatically in sql server 2005 based on condition proplem

Hi guys i have problem I have two table
First one is
Second One is Vacation
as relation one to many (vacation has foreign key of Contract No OF Table Contract)
what i need is to update Contract table with field status =Finish where start vacation date >end contract Date
How i do that in sql server 2005 to make update automatically
Ex
contract table
status nvarchar(20)
end contract date time
vacation table
start vacation date time
end vacation date time
start vacation date is 23/10/2014
and End
is 26/10/2014
Now not update status in contract table to finish because vacation date start is less from end contract
but when date today is 27/10/2014 update contract table field status to finish
automatically with sql server 2005
How i do that condition to make update to data automatically based on changing on date
Update statement i need is
update Contract set status = finish where start vacation>end contract
but problem how i write this statement to update data automatically based on date today

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. You failed again. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Now we have to write the DDL that you did not bother with! What you did post was wrong! There is no key or constraints. There is no generic “status” in RDBMS; a "<something in particular>_status"
is a state of being, so it needs a temporal duration. The correct idiom for this data model is:
CREATE TABLE Vacations
(vacation_contract CHAR(15) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
vacation_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
vacation_end_date DATE,
CHECK(vacation_start_date < vacation_end_date),
Oh, a field is nothing like a column. You need to read a basic SQL or RDBMS book; you do not know the basics.

SQL Server 2005 huge data migration. Taking more than 18 hours ...

Hi,
We are migrating an SQL server 2005 DB to Oracle 10 g 64 bit 10.2.0.5. The source sql server DB has few tables (<10) and only few stored procedure(<5). However one table of source is very huge, it has 70 million records in it. I started the migration process; it was running till 18 hours passed away then I cancelled it. I am using SQL Developer 3.1.0.7 with online migration.
Kindly let me know if I choose offline migration will it reduce the data move time. Is there some other tool by oracle that can migrate huge data (records in millions) quickly. Is there some configuration in SQL Developer that can catalyses the process?
Kindly help.
Best Regards!
Irfan

Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

Dear Friends
Scenario:
We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and regards
Bharath Kumar V

Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?
