null_loop's Q&A profile

• Visual Basic A very strange incident... and strange question.

  Well I was working on a MS-Access 2003 project that has a bit of VB code that executes once a certain text box loses focus. When it loses the focus it calculates a couple of lines of code. Everything worked fine. Now for some reason it seems to crash, when I debug it, it goes to a line where the following happens 'cPrice get's a value on the form e.g. R150.00 'iWeight get's a value from the form as well e.g. 5t tTax = cPrice / iWeight But it keeps stalling there, VB auto casts it's types if I am not mistaken, so anyone any ideas why this keeps failing What types are cprice, iweight and ttax if they are decimal, the division can cause exceptions for overflow or division by zero. For integers, the ...Show All

• SQL Server "fractional truncation" trying to insert time value into smalldatetime via SQL Native Client ODBC

  The following represents a change in behavior between the SQL Server ODBC driver and the SQL Native Client ODBC driver. I noticed a similar post about this issue, but the scenario below is slightly different. I'm trying to insert a SQL_C_TIME value into a smalldatetime column (SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP) via a parameterized insert. With the SQL Server driver, I receive the "fractional truncation" warning with a SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO from the SQLExecute, but the value is still inserted into the table. With the SQL Native Client driver, I again get the "fractional truncation" and SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, but the value is NOT inserted into table. Here's how to reproduce in ODBC Test.

• SQL Server Writing a header row to a flat file destination

  I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option Thanks Right-mouse click on the flat file destination in the connection managers at the bottom of the package designer and select edit from the popup menu. In the center of the Flat File Connection Manager Editor, check the "Column names in first data row" check box. Yes, it is that simple. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSL Encrypted ODBC Connection

  I have a question regarding the configuration of SSL for SQL Server connections. I am very familiar with configuring IIS to use SSL certs and the host headers that are different from the physical machine name however I do not see these same provisions in SQL server. I.E. I have a server on a domain named MYDB and the domain is mydomain.dom and I have an external domain name on the internet as a whole that has a domain name of externaldomain.com can I get a SSL cert that has the common name as db.externaldomain.com or do I have to set the common name to mydb.mydomain.dom. I just did not see a place where I can tell SQL server to use that cert like you would in IIS. I am also assuming that if I get this cert from a major vendor like th ...Show All

• SQL Server Agent failures and custom alerting

  Hi I need to have a reliable alerting system for my merge replications I have setup on my MSSQL 2005 server. The problem is that the build-in alert system the 'agent failure' alert only triggers when 'all databases' for that specific alert is selected. There is no failure alert triggered when I select a database and force a failure. The 'agent succes' alert does never get triggered at all. I need an reliable succes and failure alert per database because I need to do specific actions per database. Can someone help me out here I'm thinking of building my own alerting system if the help here is insufficient. In that case I need to know in what tables to look. Maybe someone can give me some pointers Thanks anyway, Edward ...Show All
