Create as Clustered Index Error

Hi,
I am getting an error message when I try to make an already existing,
unique index, clustered. I have other databases with the same core
design, some will allow the clustered index to be created, others
display the same error. Could anyone tell me what the error message is
refering to?
Details are:
SQL2000 SP3
The column is of data type varchar.
I am using Enterprise Manager and trying to change the index through the
design - properties window.
There are no nulls in this column.
There are relationships with six other tables, all bound to this column.
Enforce relationship for replication and Enforce relationship for
INSERTs and UPDATEs are checked.
Error Message:
'Tracks' table
- Unable to create index 'PK_Tracks'.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Location:
statisti.cpp:3222
Expression: cbStmtTxtLen/sizeof(WCHAR) <= cwchStmtTxtLen
SPID: 51
Process ID: 828
Many thanks

That seems like an assertion error. An assertion error is a check
that the programmer adds to his code, to be sure that some condition
is true at this point. If they are not, he aborts, because if he
continued he could cause a big mess.
Or more concisely: this is a bug in SQL Server.
What you could try if you want to create this index as quick as
possible, is to configure SQL Server to only use one single processor
and then run the CREATE INDEX statement. These errors are often due
to problems with parallelism.
If that does not work out, I would suggest that you open a case with
Microsoft. Since this is a bug in SQL Server, any expenses you may
be charged initially, should be refunded.

create app by VB.net 2003 and connect to SQL XE

Hi ,

Would it be available to connect from VB.net 2003 to SQL Server XE? VB.net 2003 works on .net framework1.1 while SQL XE works on .net framwork 2.0 so i think this couldn't be done!!

is this true?

yes this CAN/WILL work. I am assuming the real question here is having both sql & the VB03' app running on the same box. In which case the answer is YES it will work. You can have multiple versions of the Framework installed site-by-side, one of the great many benefits that .Net gives us :)sql

create another query

hi , I new in sql reporting services.
I have a report with a query . now for every record it printed I need to create another query to another table and to some calc and print the value . how do I do this .

in other reporting program that I used before, they allow me to create multi body report. each body report allow me to defined a query .
thks

There are many options available in RS. You have the ability to have multiple datasets which can be used within the same report. You also have the ability to use sub-reports and linked reports. Could you be a little more specific with what you are trying to do?|||can you point me to example how to do multiple dataset in one report?

let me give example what I try to do with a report
AAA> mean result from default query
BBB> mean result from another query

-- header
Report Listing
--Body-
student ID : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
student name : AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Family
BBBBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBBBB

Classs : AAAAAAAAAAA
group : AAAAAAAAAAAA
-footer-

thks

Create and then USE a dynamically-named database?

I have a need to create a database, and then populate it. However, the
code below doesn't work as I hoped it might (it creates the table in
the "master" database, which is Not A Good Thing). I know already
(thanks Tony!) that if you use Dynamic SQL for the USE command, then
the subsequent operations need to be Dynamic SQL as well, which is a
pity since there are over 11,000 lines of it and I don't really fancy
debugging it!

Does anyone have a cunning plan? In a nutshell, I would like to be
able to:

1. Create a new database with a derived name - as in the case below a
name based on the year, though it might be month as well.

2. Create and populate tables in this new database.

These operations would ideally be running from a scheduled job.

Any thoughts?

TIA

Edward

====================================

USE MASTER

DECLARE @.DBName VARCHAR(123)

SET @.DBName = 'MyTest_' + CAST((Year(Getdate())) AS Varchar)

if not exists(select dbid from master.dbo.sysdatabases where name =
@.DBName)

exec('CREATE DATABASE ' + @.DBName)

else

raiserror('Database already exists.',3, 1)

EXEC ('USE ' + @.DBName)

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =
object_id(N'[dbo].[TestTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable')
= 1)
drop table [dbo].[TestTable]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestTable] (
[TestID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Well, if you are creating databases on the fly then there is probably
some aspect of your design which needs to be relooked.

Basically the USE clause is only in effect for as long as the EXEC
procedure is in scope, so you'll need to place all the statements in
the EXEC procedure, but I would rather recommend you pop this into a
stored procedure in a static database and simply pass the stored
procedure and the DBName as a parameter , e.g.: EXEC('sp_dostuff ' +
@.DBName). Anyway, here's how could've done it. Hope this helps:

USE MASTER

DECLARE @.DBName VARCHAR(123)

SET @.DBName = 'MyTest_' + CAST((Year(Getdate())) AS Varchar)

if not exists(select dbid from master.dbo.sysdatabases where name =
@.DBName)

exec('CREATE DATABASE ' + @.DBName)

else

raiserror('Database already exists.',3, 1)

EXEC ('USE ' + @.DBName +

' if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = ' +
'object_id(N''[dbo].[TestTable]'') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id,
N''IsUserTable'') ' +
'= 1) ' +
'drop table [dbo].[TestTable] ' +

'CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestTable] ( ' +
' [TestID] [int] NOT NULL , ' +
' [Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
' +
') ON [PRIMARY] '
)

Thanks Louis. I know your solution will work, but my script has
11,000+ lines and trying to get that to parse and run in Dynamic SQL is
not on. In conclusion, I don't think this is a candidate for an
automated job so I'll tell the client that I'll create the archive
manually, or give them the tools to do it.

Thanks

If this is always happening on a particular instance, could you break
your script down into 4 or 5 steps of an SQL job? Then, after creating
your new DB, you'd just sp_update_jobstep the steps to point to the new
database and then start it? (If multiple runs are possible, you'd also
need to have some way of locking until the job has finished. If always
started from the same DB, then an applock would work)

If the above doesn't help, then some more clues about whether we're
talking about 1, or n, or an unlimited number of instances and/or
databases (from which you kick this process off), or whether you're
kicking this process off through some other means - is it a stored
proc, and job, etc?

Create and manage Store Procedures from inside VS

With a local conn to SQL2000 I can edit sprocs no problem, but if I change the connection to a remote computer (to which I have all permissions) I cannot create or manage stored procedures from within VS IDE? Is there a work around?

I noticed that a procedure written for the localhost accepts CREATE PROCEDURE and changes it to ALTER PROCEDURE. When I script the sprocs from my development machine to the server, those scripts with ALTER in them do not work. I change them to CREATE and they work fine.

I haven't found anything yet on MSDN about this, but will continue to look.

Thanks in advance,

You may have better luck with this question in the SQL Server Tools - General forum.

Create and Edit flat file from Sqlserver (SP).

HI All,
I use sqlserver2000 server.
I have a requirement to create a flat file(.txt) and dump the data into the file with some formatting.
I tried to use DTS but,
1. it doesnt allow me to put one row information of table to multiple line in the flat file.
2. Dynamically we cannot create n number of files we need from DTS.

Now, i am trying to create a file from sql server Stored Procedure and write data into it.

Can any one help me..
How to create and write to file from sqlserver (sp) .

Regards

Maybe if you add a ActiveX script step in the DTS package. Hope someone else can explain further...|||Greetings!

I personally would just write a script (pick a language of choice) to pull the data from the server, format it and then write it to a textfile. Although there are ways to do it in SQL Server it is very cumbersome and I think you will find that just about any other language will offer a lot more flexibility in this case. If you use something like a Visual Basic Script file you could then just set it up as a job to run when it was supposed to.

Maybe someone else could offer something else on this, good luck!

HTH!|||I am unclear as to what you want in the text file - could you explain in detail (what are your requirements) - maybe with an example.

create and drop table via vb

Hi,
How can i create and drop table in MS SQL Server 2000 via VB6? I think I should use ADOX object, but I don't know exactly how...
The following code uses ADO connection object and returns with runtime error "incorrect syntax near AS":

Dim db as ADODB.Connection
'... open connection to database

Dim strCmd As String

strCmd = "CREATE TABLE tmp_tbl AS SELECT * FROM tbl"

db.Execute strCmd

Thank you in advanceThe code you are using works on an Oracle database. The syntax for SQL Server is "SELECT...INTO...FROM".

SELECT * INTO newTable FROM oldTablesql
