• SQL Server SQL 2005 database will not attach in XP

  We are testing our product installation and run into the following problem on Windows XP and Server 2003, but not 2000: I am trying to attach a database using a command line program that we made, but get the following error: Could not open new database 'Launcher5'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "C:\MARC\MARC5\Data\Launcher5_log.LDF" may be incorrect. The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.

• SQL Server Casting...

  I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day. I'm trying to adjust this value with an expression. The expression doesn't want to cast my getdate function into a string that this property will accept. I know i'm missing something stupid.

• Audio and Video Development TIMING :Using "inherit" for an animated property and more

  I have two questions: 1. Can "inherit" or "auto" be used for an animated property, If yes then, Does "style" inheritance occurs from the loaded DOM or the live DOM 2. For style properties which have Initial="auto" and inherited="true". Does it mean that the default value is inherited from the parent element Thanks in advance Chapter 7.5.2.4.3.2 and the tables 7.5.2.4.3.2-1 - 7.5.2.4.3.2.-4 have information on values which are returned by AnimatedProperty API in such cases. Based on that table the "auto" string value can be returned only by style:breakBefore, style:breakAfter, style:display, style:displayAlign, style:suppressAtLineBreak. Most of the other properties should return "the normalized string of len ...Show All

• SQL Server Executing stored procs using a view

  Hello, Does anyone know how to execute a stored procedure within a sql view Or, if it's even possible Any help would be appreciated... Dave It's not possible to execute stored procedures within a View - Views are not intended to be used in this way.  I guess you could create a UDF that called an Extended Procedure and then utilise the UDF in the View. One other possibility would be an InsteadOf Trigger that executes a stored procedure whenever an Insert, Update or Delete is performed against the View. What is it that you are trying to achieve Is there a workaround Chris ...Show All

• SQL Server Rendering report when one dataset times out

  We use Report Server reports to provide our support staff with views into several production databases on various servers. The most commonly used report is a summary of the data on several production servers. The report contains multiple datasets. Each dataset points at a different server. If one of the servers is down some reason, one dataset fails to execute, and the entire report fails to to render. What I would like is some control over this behaviour. If a given data set fails to execute, I would like the report to continue and render the results. The failed data set would obviously show no data but this is fine by me. I know I can place timeout values on each dataset. But this doesn't help me. Can I structure my report or SQ ...Show All
