• SQL Server Configure connection strings for deployment to different servers

  Hi, We currently have a test and development environment for our data warehouse which is using SSIS packages to build (SSIS packages call stored procedures). We have multiple connections accross the different packages. The problem that we are having is when we deploy the packages to the development environment, the connection strings in the packages are still pointing to the live server! Hence, when we run these packages in the test environment, they actually execute the stored procedures in our live server. I have tried to use package configurations and the deployment utility to assist us in this regard but have still come up with a few problems: - When running the deployment utility, I still have to go and manually type ...Show All

• SQL Server Indexing Question

  I am somewhat new to SQL and have an indexing question I have a table that consists of 60 columns of mostly numeric data. Included in the table are fields called Customerid, CustDate and CustTime. Every hour data is posted to the table with the current time and date as well as customerID. The table is about 6 million rows. I have a query that reads: SELECT CustomerID, custdate + custtime as date FROM Mytable WHERE CustID = 905 and (date between ‘1/1/7’ and ‘1/17/7). The query works but it takes longer than I would like so I am wondering if it’s an indexing issue. Currently my table is indexed as CustomerID + CustDate + CustTime. None of the fields are unique, but the combination of the 3 i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Version control of dbschema DBPro vs Team Explorer

  Hi If I as a DBA use DBPro for doing checkin checkout operations, how should the developers that don't have DBPro do the check in check out of the files they need We are impleting Team System as the version control system. Should they use team explorer (I believe this is how it's called the free add-on to be able to check out and check in all files in Team System).

• SQL Server How to write a T-SQL script to replace Val() in MS Access?

  I am converting an MS-Access DB to SQL-Server, and one of the queries I'm converting uses the VB Val() function in the ORDER BY clause. Is there any T-SQL function that can mimic this CAST and CONVERT return errors because some of the data is non-numeric. The column I am ordering is a varchar(5) with ID number 'ZZ0001', 'CC0002', 'AA0003' etc . I would like the dataset to be sorted by number only : 'ZZ0001' 'CC0002' 'AA0003' Thank you Hi, Here is the answer to your question: SELECT CONVERT(INT, LEFT(yourMixColumn,PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%'yourmixColumn+' ')-1)) OR SELECT CONVERT(FLOAT, LEFT(yourMixColumn,PATINDEX('%[^0-9,.]%'yourmixColumn+' ')-1)) By the way, all your sample data ('ZZ0001' , 'CC0002' , ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Rules Editor

  I must be missing something simple but I have been unable to use the "System.Workflow.Activities.Rules.RuleConditionReference" within my workflow (CAG specifically). Everytime I select this option and click the ellipse to add a New Condition , the popup closes. If I enter text manually in the ConditionName field and hit enter, it will create the worklow.rules file with RuleExpressionCondition line. Next I try to add the expression by clickin on the ellipse and I get an error "An item with the same key has already been added". I have hand coded a rules file using other examples in hopes of it being recognized but with no luck. Am I missing something Jesse Hi Jesse, I am trying to get a repro of this i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Check-in policy errors / suggestions / questions

  I am trying to play with check-in policies. I installed it, then added it to the project. Everything seems to be OK. Now I delete my DLL from desired location. I have two Team Projects visible in Team Explorer and now every time I am trying to check Source Control checkin policies it throws a error that policy is missing and provides installation instructions - but it's doing it twice! I guess it'll throw addiotional exception for every added team Project... That seems like a bug to me. Now suggestion - those isntallation errors are shown when I am trying to access checkin policy setting on a source control - that's nice but wouldn't it make more sense to show installation instructions when somebody tries to check in and doesn't have poli ...Show All
