Trying to change the Tab size of SQL Server 2008 R2 ?

Been trying to change the size of the tab but it just doesnt change!
Went to Tools-Options-Text Editor-Transact-SQL
From 2 to 1.
Any ideas?

Hi Shavendra,
The Options dialog box lets you change the default behavior of the Database Engine Query Editor while you are programming Transact-SQL scripts. To display these settings, click Options on the Tools menu, expand the Text Editor folder, expand the Transact-SQL
subfolder and then click Tabs.
Tab size: Sets the distance in spaces between tab stops. The default is four spaces.

Thanks,

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

Hello,
Can you please confirm login exist in the sql server and its mapped to particular database.
Are you directly connecting to SSMS?
Or using any 4 part query?
Please share how you are accessing the DB and screen hots of error messages.
Thank You.

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
if tables are there in new database college 2

Trying to change the cache size of FF3.6 from 75meg to a larger size, it only applies on a per session basis. i check the about:config and the changes have applied but when i restart FF it has reset itself to 75 :(

as per the question, tried to up the cache from 75meg to 300meg but it resets after i restart firefox, have tried to change to various cache sizes but to no avail.
-=EDIT=-
it must be something to do with the profile, as when i set up a new profile in the manager, the cache size problem no longer appears. but now, how to repair my profile

ok, nothing in that text file helped but the original file that it was based on pointed me in the direction that it might be an extension. The only extensions i have are NoScript and FasterFox Lite version....
I have now traced the fault to lie with FasterFox... if you are not familiar with fasterfox it speeds up internet connections in firefox... several of the options are presets... but when i selected custom it gave me the option of a cache setting, which was set to 75megs.
I have now changed that cache setting in fasterfox to 300 Megs and it is now persistant in firefox on restart.
hopefully this information will be helpful to other people in the future that suffer the same problem.
Thanks for your help TonyE, its greatly appreciated

How do I change the tab sizes in the new version of Firefox?

Hi,
Thanks for any help in advance.
Of course the new Firefox is messing with me...But I have one specific question...
Facts...
1) I own a iMac...17 inch...So I can open lots and lots of tabs at once.
2) I just rebooted my computer back to brand new.
3) I'm working on finding all my old stuff, but can't seem to find two specific items...
In the previous version, and before I rebooted, I had about 40 tabs (Including Cluster Tabs) opening-up whenever I started a browse session. But now, I can't seem to control the size of the tabs, so they get less narrow as I had them?
I've already downloaded "Vulcanize Tabs" but that's no help...I think it was a specific theme that allowed me to do this, but many of the themes don't work with this new version of Firefox.
I suspect I'll just have to wait until the themes are updated? Or, do you have a better idea?
Also...
I want to get rid of the "X" on each tab and only have a close tab button on the far right of my tabs navigation bar.
Any help?
If so, thanks again!
Ps...Is there a way to reverse my downloading of this newest Firefox version and go back to the previous one until this new one gets many of the bugs worked-out?

You cannot update an IDENTITY column. You need to move the data into another table make the changes over there and insert the back the data into original table.

How do I view the transaction log in SQL Server 2008?

Hello,
I want to know how to view all the transactions taken during a particular period of time. I know there is a log file, ending with .ldf, created for each database. But how do I view this file?
Is there any tool in the SQL Server studio that can enable me to view the transactions for a given time period?
The reason for me wanting to view the log file is that, last week during a power outage, certain amount of data was not written. And one my friend had also messed up some of the data (unfortunately, she doesn't remember what she did).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It enables you to read from you transaction log which contains very valuable information about stuff that is happening in your database.
select
* from fn_dblog (null,null) ..
EXAMPLE:
SELECT
FROM
::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
WHERE
operation = 'LOP_DELETE_SPLIT'

Decrypt the hashed password in SQL Server 2008

Hello all,
I have used HASHBYTES to decrypt the password of the user using SHA1, so now there is a requirement to decypt back the password to its original form,
for eg
Pass word is 'Jhon' so after applying HASHBYTES('SHA1','Jhon') it gices the output as "0xB13B42158655F36814F3C4541C6457F7CAD0F719"
Now i want back to get Jhon from the encypted value.
Please suggest an idea to do so.
Thanks for advance.
Pankaj Kumar Yadav-

To expand on what Dan says above, one can use pwdencrypt/pwdcompare from SQL but in a different context (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173329/how-to-decrypt-a-password-from-sql-server).
The context would be more like the one that is used to determine whether your user passes a CORRECT password. In this case, the hash value saved in the database must be the same as the hash value of the password being passed in. In this
manner, while you can't decrypt, you can determine whether the user knows the password or not without storing the password. Not the best way to enable a password, but a workaround for sure. Similar to Dan's method above but may provide a bit more
detail as to the why's and wherefore's using the examples listed there.

Question about the text datatype in SQL server 2008 r2

How do I read/write this datatype to/from the database using C#? (visual studio 2010) I am not sure how to handle it.

Go to Tools/Designers and uncheck this option (see the image). Also, instead of executing the change right away, click on the script option and examine the proposed change. SSMS often makes changes script more difficult than it needs to be.

How do I Change the Cache size?

I have an iBook G4 and am trying to change the cache size for this screen saver I downloaded.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi
Curious which screensaver you are referring to?
Screensavers can be processor intensive, requiring a certain level of computing power to avoid flicker or stuttering. The G4 iBook is not that type of machine.
Some Screen Savers have a preference file (accessed through the Desktop and Screen Saver System Pref Panel - highlight the saver, and select "options" if one is available) where you can adjust the operating speeds and other parameters. Otherwise, I don't believe there is anything more you can do.
I notice a big difference in certain screen savers running on my G5 iMac vs. my iBook, with the former handling the screen movement much more easily.

Why is the LookUp object in the Flow Task of my SSIS package going red (and not working) ? Sql Server 2008 R2

I have been working with the Sql Server 2008 R2 SSIS Tutorial at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170419(v=sql.105).aspx
--specifically -- Lesson 1. I have been having some problems with this lesson where the source data from the samples download doesn’t exactly match the data described in the tutorial, and the tables in the tutorial are different from what
is contained in AdventureWorksDW (tutorial refers to DimTime – AdventureWorksDW contains DimDate and no DimTime).
So, after futzing in BI with this tutorial so that I can at least get it to run in Debug – it errors out on the 2nd LookUp object.
Rather than looking for a fix to the problem(s) that I am having between the tutorial and the stuff I downloaded in the samples --
I want “Adapt” the tutorial so I can use the stuff I downloaded and hopefully learn how to use SSIS with the elements (source data and tables) that are present on my workstation.
Here is a description of what is going on for me – which I really don’t understand what is going on in BI – based on the images below – like what columns (from what tables) are they associating to in the OleDB Destination?
Note: the sql in the LookUps here is the sql that I copied from the tutorial.
I probably need to modify these sql statements – so -- the help I am requesting is to make the required modifications/changes
so that I can adapt this tutorial with the stuff that’s on my workstation.
I downloaded the samples and the AdventureWorksDW mdf for Sql Server 2008 R2.
It turns out that in the tutorial it wants me to select a DimTime table, but the version of the AdventureWorksDW db does not contain a DimTime table.
Instead, it contains a DimDate table. So I tried adapting DimDate for the tutorial.
Additionally, the sample data file -- SampleCurrencyData.txt -- has slightly different data types than the types described in the tutorial, so I selected data types for the columns in the datasource text file that would work in BI would to
connect column from source data file to the table.
After finishing all the steps for Lesson 1 -- when I tried debugging the package – and it error'd out on the 2nd Lookup object whichwent red.
 I edited the lookups and the sample Ole DB Destination to "ignore on fail” and I did all
green but the FactCurrencyRate table is not being populated -- as described in the tutorial, so I reset the on error back to default (Fail on error option). And based on this tutorial -- I believe FactCurrencyRate
table is the table which is supposed to be populated with the data from SampleCurrencyData.txt?
In the sample data file that downloaded with all the samples I removed all the data from the text file except for 6 rows, so instead of the original 1100 or so rows, I have only 6 rows of data in the source data file (just to keep things
simple for debugging for now). I did not modify the data itself.
Here is what the (raw) data contained in SampleCurrencyData.txt looks like (from the samples that I downloaded from codeplex) – it’s supposed to be 4 columns of data – float, nvarchar, datetime, float:

Below are images of my BI Layout for Lesson 1 from this tutorial -- the FlatFile and configurations for On Fail Error, A Flow task, the 2 LookUps (CurrencyKey and DataKey), the OleDB Destination configuration, the Design view of the associated tables and
the Debug Run of Lesson 1, and the following error messages. My goal is to figure out what is going on in BI for this tutorial.

Thank you for your reply. I changed the error handling as you suggested on the 2nd lookup to redirect to unmatched rows. Now I get all greet. I don't have the conditional split as in your diagram. But also, nothing appears to have
happened in the DB. Aren't the rows in my text file supposed to be added to the FactCurrencyRate table?
How do I get a conditional split?
Rich P
OK, sorry I forgot to reply you back.
Conditional Split was just dummy task. Ignore it.
Manipulate the data in such way that you get matching records.
Inside Source, for first 2 rows I put the dates which are available in DimDate.
1.00010001,ARS,7/1/2005 0:00,0.99960016
1.00010001,ARS,2/5/2006 0:00,1.001001001
1.00020004,ARS,9/5/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00020004,ARS,9/6/2001 0:00,1.00040016
1.00050025,ARS,9/7/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00050025,ARS,9/8/2001 0:00,1.001001001
Then in OLE DB Destination, I loaded the rows to TestFactTable.
(Now, you don't even need NO MATCH OUTPUT as there are matching records here)

How to access the datasource window in SSRS for sql server 2008 R2 for writing my query without having to go through the wizard?

I have used SSRS a lot years ago with Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005. I have written external assemblies, ... But now I have to do this with Sql Server 2008 (R2 -- which I realize I am way behind the times already but ...) in sql server 2000 and
2005 there was a tab for datasource to the left of the tab for design which was to the left of the preview tab. How do I get to the datasource window in sql server 2008 (r2) ?
I see that datasource explorer. But where can I get to the datasource window to edit my queries and so forth for sql server 2008 (R2)?
Thanks
Rich P

I think I found the answer to my question --- just right-click on the the Data Sources or Datasets for editing connections and dataset queries. I'm guessing it gets even fancier with Sql Svr 2012 - 2014. Man, that's the one thing
about coding platforms -- you let it go for a few years and come back, and everything has changed (well, a lot of things). Now I need to figure out how to add an external assembly to SSRS 2008 (R2).
