Hello everyone,
I am using Linq-to-Sql for a C# application and am currently working on some stored procedures. The application is for a newspaper, and a sample stored procedure is the following:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Articles_GetArticlesByPublication
@publicationDate date
AS
SELECT
*
FROM
Articles
WHERE
Articles.PublicationDate=@publicationDate
Anyway, this query gets all of the articles where the publication date is equal to the argument (publicationDate). How can I alter this so that the argument can handle multiple publication dates?
Also, I'd prefer not to use "BETWEEN," rather, I want to pick and choose dates.
I'm looking for a tool that that I can use to clean up (formatting, tabs etc...) my stored procedures and views. Is there anything like html's tidy, but for SQL which is free/open source?
Hello everyone,
I am using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and using the new Merge statement. From my experiment, I find source is always read only (table content not modified, i.e. no record is deleted/inserted/updated)? Is that correct understanding?
thanks in advance,
George
I have a stored procedure which is returning me about 50 columns. I want to write a query, where I will be able to select a particular column from the list of column returned by the SP.
I tried writing select RSA_ID from exec(uspRisksEditSelect '1') But Its throwing me an error.
I think we need to write some dynamic sql for it. But I am new to it.
Hi,
I have two servers where I installed SQL Server 2008
Production: RAID 1 on SCSI disks
Test: IDE disk
When I try to execute a script with about 35.000 inserts, on the test server I need 30 sec and instead on the production server more than 2 min!
Does anybody know why such difference? I mean, the DB is configured in the same way and the production server has also a RAID config, a better processor and memory...
THANKS!

I have a computer working as a server with many SQL Server 2005 databases in it since two years ago.
Today, I don't know why, when I try to connect locally to any of the databases it gives me that error. It fails even if I'm logged in using Windows Authentication or as 'sa' user. It just wouldn't let me access the databases' info.
Could anybody explain me what's going on?
How do I prevent SQL injection when it comes to ColdFusion? I'm quite new to the language/framework.
Here is my example query.
<cfquery name="rsRecord" datasource="DataSource">
SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE id = #url.id#
</cfquery>
I see passing in url.id as a risk.
For certain types of sql queries, an auxiliary table of numbers can be very useful. It may be created as a table with as many rows as you need for a particular task or as a user defined function that returns the number of rows required in each query.
What is the optimal way to create such a function?
I have developed my own word breaker for SQL 2005 and the Full Text Search feature. I know how to use it by simply hijacking an existing language and add the wordbreaker to the registry for the hijacked language. However I'm not completely satisfied with that solution. I want to create a completely new language is this possible?
I want to be able to perform a IF...THEN in an SQL SELECT Statement.
For Example;
SELECT IF(Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y';1;0) as Salable, * FROM Product
Is there an method for programatically (in T-SQL) retrieving the maximum (and minimum) value of a datatype? That it would act like float.MaxValue in C#.
I would like to use it in some selection when the parameter does not equal any actual values in the database, so I would use something like
declare @min float
declare @max float
/*fill @min and @max, can be null if undefined*/
select * from foo
where bar between isnull(@min,0 ), isnull(@max,max(float)/*magic*/)
Thanks
hi!
Is there a way to insert only date in a datetime column in sql server without the time?
for example
date (datetime)
===============
12-01-2000
16-02-2000
or i should store this as a varchar and cast it when retriving so that i can convert to whatever form i need.
Hi,
I just noticed that if I have an identity column in a table, when I insert new rows SQL Server 2008 is automatically filling up the sequence if there are discontinuity. I mean, if in my identity column I have 1,2,5,6 if I insert other two rows in the table the system puts automatically 3,7 in the identity column.
Do you know how to control this behavior?
THANKS
Hi Experts,
I have a tables with data like this
Id BookId TagId
34 113421 9
35 113421 10
36 113421 11
37 113421 1
38 113422 9
39 113422 1
40 113422 12
I need to write a query (SQL Server) which gives me data according to the tags say if I want bookIds where
tagid =9 it should return bookid 113421 and 113422 as it exists in both the books, but If I ask data for tags 9 and 10 it should return only book 113421 as that is the only book where both the tags are present.
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I am using sql server 2005
I have a table [say tblHistory] and this table contains 100 rows.
I have created the same table at the server, but the table doesn't have the data, I want data from tblHistory to convert into
INSERT INTO tblHistory ------
so that I could run the script on the server to fill the database.
Please help, it's urgent
Question: The new SQL Server 2008 database returns me values formatted English (date/float).
Is there a way I can set the return format ?
For example temporarely switching the database language?
Or just set the language for the current query ?
Sql server 2005 (even 2008) strips the insignificant whitespaces by default. To keep one can use the CONVERT funtction with the last argument as '1' (Ref. Article). How can we do the same thing in Entity Framework?
thanks
In sql server 2008, i have taken Full backup type of my database and database was successfully done.My question is while restoring it how can i check or know that my whole backup was perfect ?
I need to find the path of the database (MDF) or at least the database logs loaded but for some reasons I cannot login through the SQL Server so I need to know if you know any file/config file that keeps the path of the databases or log file .
