How to overwrite existing DB's in SQL 2008?
I use Maintenance Plan of SQL 2008 Server for Backup some DB's. As a result i need to keep, only one set of Backup Up's and not more. So actually i can use Maintenance Plan Clean Up wizard, but i need something like Overwrite. That mean
i don't want do delete DB's after i finish Backup UP, but i want to overwrite existing backups?
Thanks.
Maintenance Plans are great as a base starting point for, "maintenance". They provide quick, easy setup and just get something in when in some cases, a fulltime DBA is not around.
Uri's recommendation on avoiding Maintenance Plans probably should have come with an explanation with such a strong statement. I'm guessing with the following, there will be an agreement...
Maintenance Plans, like I said, offer quick development of maintenance tasks. However, you can find yourself being restricted if you only use them for all of your maintenance tasks. This proves to make it difficult when you start getting further
into truly managing your database servers as they grow. Now, WITH INIT is an option form memory in the BACKUP Task but given the task, the conversion to calling the BACKUP DATABASE [db] TO DISK=N'filepath' WITH INT is a pretty quick change (at this point).
It will allow you to better understand the tasks you are refining as well. But, you do have the ability to leave it there.
I'm also not fully agreeing that WITH INIT is your best option if you want to retain backup history. If you do not, then by all means, INIT it all day. You may want to consider bringing this into SSIS or even a more structure TSQL statement to
dynamically create backup files by timestamps so you can at least retain some historic recovery abilities. Possible this is something of a secondary backup so that is based on my assumptions

How to find existing DAC connection to sql server
How to find existing DAC connection in sql server
Hi RoyalM,
Vishal has answered your initial question. If you have the connection issue. I suggest you elaborate the issue in a new thread.
You can access DAC using SQLCMD from a command prompt. Or check the existing DAC connection in a command prompt:
1. Open Command Prompt.
2. Type: SQLCMD –S <servername\instance> -d master and press Enter.
1> SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec join sys.endpoints e on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id) WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
2> go
3. If it returns the result, it means there is an existing DAC connection. It also shows the port used by dedicated admin connection.
Thanks.

How can change Case Sensitivity in MS SQL 2008
hi expert,
I want to change Case Sensitivity to Case Insensitivity in MS SQL 2008.
how can I do??
any help please
thanks and regards
junHello,
there is no way to change this. The SQL Server itself and the SAP Database are installed in an case sensitive collation. If you were albe to change this, your installation will be no longer supported and will, in the worst case, generate incorrect data within the SAP database.
So, start live with it, there is no way to change it.
Best regards

How do I migrate views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer
Is there any way to migrate the views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer? Please give me some detail steps. Thanks for your help.

Hi Turloch,
When I use migrate to oracle, I got a problem, the migrate tool create a new schema for me in my case (AZTECA_KSMMS), it migrates all the stuffs under that schema (AZTECA_KSMMS). However my application need the all the Oracle data under schema AZTECA instead of AZTECA_KSMMS. Is there any way to specify specific schema (AZTECA) for target oracle database? Schema remapping is available:
First Capture (separately) then during right click convert on the captured model there is a Specify the conversion options with a Object Naming tab where the schema (and other) name changes are editable.
I have not used this recently.
Also during the migration process, when I choose repository, there is a check box for truncate to reset repository to empty state, Do I need to check that truncate Check Box so the repository will be cleared from last migration?The repository can hold multple migration attempts. Check truncate to get rid of previous attempts information. This cleans up the repository - not the destination database.
There are also online database and offline database options during the migration process, what are the difference between these two choices? After I migrated to Oracle, all my views has a red cross icon next to it. Does that mean the view migration is failed or not? Please give me your comments. Thanks for your help.offline: for big (amount of data) databases with simple data types,
uses bcp + files + scripts + sqlldr.
online: for small (amount of data) databases (easier),
uses (Java) jdbc.
The view is likely to be broken - recompiling it may help.
The Oracle schema is created using a .sql file - see under generated in the directory you gave originally in the wizard. There is a .out file that contains the result of running this script including any errors. During conversion there are also likely to be warnings displayed on the UI.
There may be a single issue that is causing multiple issues - if viewa depends on functionb, and functionb is broken, viewa will also fail.

How to overwrite existing report using RE SDK?
Hi,
I want to overwrite the report while saving it in the folder and personal category.
How can i do that?
Please help me?
Thanks in Advance
Amol MaliHi Amol,
Did you want to "download" a WebI document in a specific format using the Report Engine SDK?
Basically, you can view the WebI document in a specific format.
Please refer to the following samples on the SDN ([https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples]):
NET-CS2005_RENet_BE115_View_Webi-Excel: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b08ed111-dd66-2b10-c4b7-9e79a464c93b]

These were created using XI R2 but should also work for XI 3.1.
Also, the samples will display the document (Excel or PDF) on the browser.
You can just modify this to save as instead.
Hope this helps.

How to Overwrite existing Taxonomy term and nested terms programmatically
Hi,
I have created Taxonomy term (Term A) and nested terms(Subterm1, Subterm2, SubTerm3, etc) programmatically.
Now I want to update sub terms(SubTerm1, SubTerm3, SubTerm4, SubTerm5, etc) programmatically.There are more than 100 sub terms, so I want to update sub terms programmatically.
Here is my code:
var site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
var taxonomySession = new TaxonomySession(site);
if (taxonomySession.TermStores.Count != 0)
var termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
var group = termStore.Groups["Group A"];
var termSet = group.TermSets["TermSet A"];
var TermA = termSet.CreateTerm("Term A", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);
TermA .CreateTerm("SubTerm1",CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);TermA.CreateTerm("SubTerm2", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);
TermA.CreateTerm("SubTerm3", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);
Can anybody let me know how to update the nested terms?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
AA.Hi,
The following code for your reference:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

var termSet=group.TermSets["TermSet A"];
var topTerm = termSet.Terms["Term A"];
var subTerms = topTerm.Terms;
foreach (Term term in subTerms)

How does one overwrite existing text?
One can do plenty of clever formatting in drafting Thunderbird correspondence. But I am unable to find how one overwrites existing text. Can someone help, please?
please I am having trouble understanding. But here goes what I think your asking.
When you reply in an interleaved fashion as you did with my email, you need to break the previous message by pressing enter to get your own text area to type in. I saw a discussion on one of the develop0er list the other day where they were suggesting that some of the font information is bleeding back and forth in these situation and brainstorming what to actually do about it. That is just a discussion as yet. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tb-planning/ZYusepcRj-k
One of the best option in my opinion is to use the quote and compose managerhttps://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html as it preserves the vertical lines Thunderbird shows while editing in the outgoing message to make it clear where the interleaved information is located. It also has a stabilize font option that has helped many. (The author is Italian, so Italian locales of his add-ons are always available)

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?
How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files? So far the only options I have found are to increment the output file name or fail. From the explaination of file increment I would have expected overwrite to be the alternative. We work daily with the same file(s) on an hourly basis and convert via watch folder to over a dozen file types and network mapped destinations. Re-using the same file name is critical to the final project (updating website content). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Has there been any updates on overwriting output files in CS6? This would be extremely helpful.

HOW RESTORE WITHOUT OVERWRITE EXISTING DATABASE ???????
I create a test database named TESTONE
USE MASTER
GO
if DB_ID('testone') IS NOT null
drop database TESTONE
GO
CREATE DATABASE TESTONE
GO
and change recovery model to simple
alter database TESTONE set recovery simple
GO
so I create a sample table
use TESTONE
GO
create table table1(
id int identity primary key,
descr varchar(10)
go
I take a full backup of that database
USE master
GO
BACKUP DATABASE TESTONE
TO DISK=N'c:\TEMP\testone.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'TESTONE', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
after that i do something bad :-)
USE TESTONE
GO
drop table table1
go
USE master
GO
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [TESTONE] FROM DISK = N'C:\TEMP\testone.bak' WITH RECOVERY, FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5
GO
the restore command doesn't contains WITH REPLACE clause and ....
if you expand the tables tree you'll find your deleted table
the database has been overwritten
Why?That is the default behavior or RESTORE. Since you are restoring the same DB (not a different DB) and the DB is in simple recovery mode, it will overwrite the existing DB. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx.
Here is an excerpt from this link:
REPLACE Option Impact
REPLACE should be used rarely and only after careful consideration. Restore normally prevents accidentally overwriting a database with a different database. If the database specified in a RESTORE statement already exists on the current server and the specified
database family GUID differs from the database family GUID recorded in the backup set, the database is not restored. This is an important safeguard.
The REPLACE option overrides several important safety checks that restore normally performs. The overridden checks are as follows:
Restoring over an existing database with a backup taken of another database.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database name recorded in the backup set. This can result in accidentally overwriting
a database by a different database.
Restoring over a database using the full or bulk-logged recovery model where a tail-log backup has not been taken and the STOPAT option is not used.
With the REPLACE option, you can lose committed work, because the log written most recently has not been backed up.
Overwriting existing files.
For example, a mistake could allow overwriting files of the wrong type, such as .xls files, or that are being used by another database that is not online. Arbitrary data loss is possible if existing files are overwritten, although the restored database is complete.

So, I have noticed that, Where ever a STRUCTURE is involved in external routine, there is a problem. I want to know, How to implement functions with STRUCTURE as OUT parameter.
Forgot to mention: This is my FILETIME object which corresponds to FILETIME structure of win32.The problem is that this passes the parameter by reference and not value. In a vanilla C/C++/Delphi program, you will create a variable of that struct and then pass a long pointer to that variable when making the API call. That pointer will be dereferenced and the memory it points to, populated. This is not a problem as the underlying DLL you call that does this, uses your process's data segment.
Extproc is different. In order to protect the integrity of the database server process, an external call is done by a "proxy" process. It acts as the interface between your PL/SQL code and the actual external call.
In this case, this "proxy" process will be doing the implicit LoadLibrary() call to load kernel32.dll interface - and the DLL will expect to dereference and access this process's memory struct to populate it. This "proxy" process in turn needs to know that despite it calling the interface by reference, it needs to return that parameter to PL/SQL by value - as your PL/SQL code cannot dereference a pointer passed back by that "proxy" process and access its memory to gain access to that struct.
In basic terms - that argument is a 32 bit number containing a pointer. That is what the "proxy" process needs to pass to the interface call. Your code is passing a struct and not a pointer, right?
And that is the basic problem I believe. How to address this.. not sure. You can have your own DLL as interface that does not use pointers but expect arguments to be passed by value. But this will suck as you then need to include a custom DLL to deploy and have PL/SQL call that, instead of simply accessing and calling the native kernel interface.
Doubt that many Win32 programmers with OCI (Oracle Call Interface) frequents this forum. So perhaps this is not the best place to ask. I would be hitting Metalink (support.oracle.com) search function in your sho3s though as there should be support notes dealing with this subject matter. -
How do I create a view in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop?
Hi
I've got a SQL Server database set up using the internal SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop. I want to create a view (using tables with one to many relationships) but I don't
know how to do it.
Where can I find a good tutorial on creating views in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop? I think Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop doesn't have some view designer that
exists in the non-express version of Visual Studio (if I'm not mistaken). So I think I'd need a tutorial on how to do the actual SQL, unless there is some tool I don't know about.
ThanksHi ,
According to your description, if you install SQL Server SQL Server 2014 Express and SQL Server Manager Studio tools (SSMS), if you want to create a view, you can use SSMS. Then if you want to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio
2013, you can attach the database file by using the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server in Visual Studio, and create a database diagram via expanding the “Database Diagrams” node.
For more information, there is similar issue about how to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio 2012 , you can review the following article,

How to resolve ORA-00001 Error in SQL Insert?
Hi all, I need your appreciated help.
I make a plsql procedure that is inserting a row according cursor value, I'm having oracle error ORA-00001: unique constraint (constraint_name) violated.
You may see this message if a duplicate entry exists at a different level: in RDBMS MySQL I have the syntax IGNORE to resolve this duplication error... and in Oracle ?
Thanks for your time and hints.

How to resolve ORA-00001 Error in SQL Insert?ORA-00001 means table has unique/primary key/index and you are trying to insert a row with key value that already exists in the table. I'll assume table COUNTRIES has primary key on COUNTRY_ID. Then change SQL to:
SQL = "INSERT INTO COUNTRIES(COUNTRY_ID,COUNTRY_NAME,REGION_ID) SELECT 'BZ','BLZ',3 FROM DUAL WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM COUNTRIES WHERE COUNTRY_ID = 'BZ')"There is a good chance table COUNTRIES also has unique key/index on COUNTRY_NAME. If so use:
SQL = "INSERT INTO COUNTRIES(COUNTRY_ID,COUNTRY_NAME,REGION_ID) SELECT 'BZ','BLZ',3 FROM DUAL WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM COUNTRIES WHERE COUNTRY_ID = 'BZ' OR COUNTRY_NAME = 'BLZ')"SY. -
How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL
Hi Gurus
1.How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL?
Manually its deleting but each application having 120-150 tables? how to do this in a single shot?
I have deleted few applications using workspace/ shared services, but still its showing under HFM server under SQL Tables.
Please help me
regards
SmileeHi Smilee,
1. If the application can be opened in Financial Management web interface, go to the Manage Taskflows module and make sure that no taskflows still exist for this application. Delete any existing taskflows.
2. If the application exists in Shared Services, right click on the application in Shared Services and try to delete the application from there
3. Stop Hyperion Shared Services and all Financial Management Windows processes and take backups of the relational database schemas of both.
4. Check the relational database repository of Hyperion Shared Services, in the table "ces_apps" and make sure that there are no more rows containing the appname "EXAMPLE". If row still exists you should seek help from Oracle Global Software Support to clean up the Hyperion Shared Services before proceeding.
5. It is possible to remove all content for a deleted application from the Financial Management relational database. Extreme care should be taken when manually manipulating database tables as permanent damage can be done to the intended application and other applications if the wrong content is deleted.
a) Begin by deleting all tables, indexes, sequences and package objects that begin with the application name
b) Delete any tables beginning HSV_appname_xxxxxx
c) Delete any rows from the HSX_CLUSTER_xxxxx tables referring to the application.
d) Delete any rows from the HSV_ACTIVITY_KILL_USERS, HSV_ACTIVITY_NO_ACCESS, HSV_ACTIVITY_SESSIONS and HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS and HSV_USERS_ON_SYSTEM that refer to the application name.
d) Delete the row containing name of the application from the HSX_DATASOURCES table.
6. The next time all the Hyperion services are started again, the application should be safely removed from Windows client.
You can contact your DBA to write a query on how to delete it.
Hope this helps,
Thank you,

Why not allow Business Rule Design Transformer to overwrite existing BRDDs
Hi,
It can be quite annoying during development to continually having to remove the BRDD Trigger and PL/SQL Definition when running the BR Design Transformer reveals missing information in the BR Analysis definition. It seems that it would be practical to have at least the option to have the Business Rule Design Transformer overwrite an existing Business Rule Design Definition.
You could think of an additional parameter in this utilily labeled "Overwrite existing BRDD?" with allowable values Y(es) and N(o) with No as default (so that the default functionality is the same as before).
Below you find the code that can be added to the HSU_BRTR package to realize such a functional improvement. Maybe you can consider it for a next release...?!

Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

How to add a new instance to a 2 node SQL 2008 R2 Cluster under the same networkname
Hello All,
I'm fairly new to sql and have just deployed a new 2 node SQL 2008 R2 cluster.
During installation, I created a networkname SQLCLU and a named instance I01.
I now would like to add another Instance (I02) under the same networkname.
What is the proper procedure to do this?
I don't believe that I should do this using the action: "New SQL Server failover cluster" from the setup menu, but rather using the action "New Installation or add features to an existing installation"
With the second option, I'm however not sure how I should make this instance clustered..
Should I also execute the "New Installation or add features to an existing installation" action on the 2nd node in the cluster?
Many thanks for your advice!
FilipYou cannot use the same network name for 2 instances. You need to use a different network name for the second instance I02
A failover cluster instance contains:
A combination of one or more disks in a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) cluster group, also known as a resource group. Each resource group can contain at most one instance of SQL Server.
A network name for the failover cluster instance.
One or more IP addresses assigned to the failover cluster instance.
One instance of SQL Server that includes SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, the Full-text Search (FTS) service, and Replication. You can install a failover cluster with SQL Server only, Analysis Services
only, or SQL Server and Analysis Services
