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 ?
There is an example for today here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2583228/get-row-where-datetime-column-today-sql-server-noob
I am primarily interested in 2008 only. For today it looked like
SELECT (list of fields)
FROM dbo.YourTable
WHERE dateValue BETWEEN
CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) AND DATEADD(DAY, 1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE))
What literal value of date(s) or functions ( I need a format ) should I place there to make it work independent of local settings.
Hi,
I have a database (SQL server express 2008) which has a column that is defined as text. When we try to store some text which is in chinese, it is not saved. I read that the field should be ntext. I will now have to a conversion to my table to create the column as ntext.
Would I have to do anything with the collation of the database which is set to Latin?

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.
In Oracle's PL-SQL, you can declare a variable and define its type based on a table column:
declare var1 table.column%TYPE;
Is it possible to do something similar in MS SQL Server?
I searched but could not find a duplicate for this question. If there is one, please let me know and I'll refer to it and delete this.
Hi all, I just set up Mercurial on our main webserver, hosting repositories via hgwebdir.cgi. The problem I'm having now is when I run hg push from my local machine to the server's repository, it takes an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to push a very small directory, with only a single changeset. Is it possible that I've set something up wrong? I keep getting HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway.
Thanks!
I need a way to make my database mdf file secure from any adminstrators in SQL Server Express. Because I am developing application with C# connected to SQL Express database.
I've got two database servers,
(1) production
(2) test
on the production database I get frequent deadlocks and I'm trying to find out what is causing it.
I take a backup of the database in production and restore it in test and when I perform the exact same scenario that yields deadlocks on the production server I am unable to reproduce in test.
any ideas/tips/hints would be much appreciated.
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

Is there any handy tool that can make updating tables easier? Usually I got an Excel file with the original value in one column and new value in another column. Then I write a formula in Excel to create the 'update' statement. Is there any way to simplify the updating task?
I believe the approach in SQL server 2000 and 2005 would be different, so could we discuss them both? Thanks.
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
We have server on Python and client + web service on Ruby. That works only if file from URL is less than 800 k. It seems like "socket.puts data" in a client works, but "output = socket.gets" - not. I think problem is in a Python part. For big files tests run "Connection reset by peer". Is it buffer size variable by default somewhere in a Python?
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
I have a SQL Server Express database that has a query that should return about 230 thousand rows.
Problem is the query returns about 5 more rows each time you run the query.
What would cause something like this?
I ran 'DBCC CHECKDB' but that did not change the behavior. Any ideas.
thanks
Hi,
In Sql Server when you select to modify a SP or UDF it loads the objects alter query in a query window. Are these queries accessible in a system table so I can store the alter statements somewhere? It looks like syscomments has some objects but not all of them.
Thanks
Can you tell me the meaning of this statement.I am using windows 2008 server OS
Log Problem must be changed so that it elevates privileges for a user executing the Problem.
its done by creating a manifest that indicates that Problem needs Administrator privileges.
Why does SQL server 2008 always warn about needing to drop tables to rename columns? I was under impression this was not required unless it was a key. If I change a column from null to not null even if is not a key field it wants to drop table and all relations.
I recently encountered a problem in my production database due to MySQL bug. The bug is in the TimeStamp column. To avoid any inconvenience, I want to migrate the database to either Sql Server.
Is there any FREE tool to easily and reliably migrate data and table structures?
In the JDBC code, I have the following that is working with SQL Server:
CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall("{ call getName() }");
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
if(rs != null)
{
while(rs.next())
{
//do something with rs.getString("name")
}
}
Multiple rows are returned for the above situation.
I understand that the use of a cursor is required to loop through the table in Oracle, but is there any way to keep the above code the same and accomplish the same thing?
Thanks in advance.
