    Table View Record

    Another option depends on the permissions of your users. If they don't have sysadmin or db_owner permissions, you can DENY SELECT permission on the table and then write a stored procedure to do selecting on that table. You can log whatever you want in the stored procedure. “I apologize for...

    an irrelevant question - unexplained checkbox behaviour - hardcore thi

    I would try placing a second, unbound, checkbox on the form. Make the bound checkbox invisible. Then use the visible checkbox to display the opposite of the bound checkbox and to update the bound checkbox behind the scenes. I might get hairy to keep track of the events, but then it might be...

    PRIMARY KEY problems

    The view that you are selecting from, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.constraint_column_usage, only displays records from tables for which the current user has permissions. Check to make sure the user that you are connecting with has permission to use/see the tables in question. “I apologize for this...

    Select Statement.

    That would be something like this: SELECT t1.id, <other t1 fields>, <t2 fields>, <t3 fields> FROM table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id inner join table3 t3 ON t1.id = t3.id WHERE t2.<conditionField> = <table2 condition> and t1.<conditionField1>...

    Network failure

    It's been my experience that as soon as the client application connection is lost to SQL Server, the database automatically stops and rolls back any active transactions created by that connection. Am I missing something? I can think of one scenario where your problem might occur. Let's say...

    convert int to mins, secs

    Matt, You can use DateAdd to add seconds to 0 and convert the result to a string in the format hh:mm:ss. select Convert(nchar(8), DateAdd(s,Avg(length),0),8) as 'avg call length' from callHistory This will work as long as the avg call length is less than 13 hours, because format...

    Select Statement.

    Ok, is this more what you are looking for? SELECT t1.id, <other t1 fields>, <t2 fields> FROM table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t2.<conditionField> = <table2 condition> and t1.<conditionField1> = <table1 condition 1> and...

    SQL Server - Using INSERT command within SELECT, for any conditions

    sivi, I usually jump into these questions without enough information and end up answering the wrong question based on invalid assumptions. So, this time I'm going to try something different and clarify. You have an audit table that looks something like this, correct? Audit --------...

    SQL statement max size

    cash0, Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I had never tested that code, I just derived it from Microsoft's documentation. I apologize for that. <Sarcasm> I can't believe their documentation was wrong!!! </Sarcasm> I'm glad it was some help, though. --Bill “I apologize...

    ADO &amp; Recordset: Where is the recordset (or table) stored?

    The Sql statement that you are executing does not return any records. That's why the rs cannot be closed, it was never open. If Sql Server does not return anything to ADO, it doesn't need to open a recordset, so it won't. You should use a Command Object or the Connection.Execute method to...

    Select Statement.

    Maybe, try this SELECT t1.id, <other fields> FROM table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t1.fieldx = <some condition> UNION ALL SELECT t2.id, <other fields> FROM table2 t2 inner join table1 t1 ON t2.id = t1.id WHERE...

    SQL Server and Reports

    You might also look into Active Reports from Data Dynamics. I have used the standard edition to create and distribute PDF reports via the web. It did require some tricky asp and html because you have to save the pdf to disk on the server and then have the browser download the file. MSRP is...

    DTS error

    It sounds like the query that DTS is calling to transfer the data is doing a group by on one or more of the nvarchar(4000) fields. I assume that you are trying to summarize the data as you are moving it. I would try moving the data to an intermediate table on the destination server without...

    SQL statement max size

    Hi cash0, SQL Server can only update fields of type text, ntext and image with approximately 120kb at a time. I'm guessing that you are using an ntext field, which holds unicode strings and each character is two bytes, so you are limited to approximately 64k characters. What you need to do is...

    Complex UPDATE problem.

    This will do what you want. Just change the values of the @RecordId and @NewValue variables. If you want to make it even easier, create a stored procedure. DECLARE @RecordId int, DECLARE @NewValue decimal(9,4) SET @RecordId = 123 SET @NewValue = 15 UPDATE tblA SET...

    Login Failed for user '(null)'

    I think your problem is with Windows, not with SQL Server. You say the server name is CRM and yous loginid is CRM/Sam005. Is the windows CRM/Sam005 account defined as a local user on the server or is it a domain user defined on a domain controller? If it is a local user, then you will not be...
