Hi guys
I am new in SQL RS. I want to print bar codes on my report. Is it
possible with RS ? Do I need external procedure ? Any suggestion will
be welcome !
Thanks
Jean-MarcJean-Marc,
In one of our projects I ran into the same requirement and was able to
handle it very easily with a barcode font. There are a number of sources
barcode fonts on the Internet which you can find quickly using the search
engine of your choice. Once you install the barcode font on your system you
can just select it in the report designer and your reports will display
barcodes. Just remember that any system running the report that uses the
barcode font will have to have the barcode font installed in order for them
to work.
Hope this helps.

Bad Stored procedure
I get this error "Incorrect syntax near @.TopNews"
Here is my SP:

Bad Proc Template
There is a base-installed template for a stored procedure called "Create Procedure with CURSOR OUT" which has this snippet:
EXEC <Schema_Name, sysname, Schema_Name>.<Procedure_Name, sysname, Procedure_Name> <@.proc_cursor_name, , @.sample_procedure_cursor> = <@.variable_cursor_name, , @.test_cursor_variable> OUTPUT
WHILE (@.@.FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
FETCH NEXT FROM <@.variable_cursor_name, , @.test_cursor_variable>
PRINT 'put user defined code here'
END
But even after instantiating it - it doesn't work. The "FETCH_STATUS" must be seeded with a prior "FETCH" before it has any meaning. This leads me to ask: (1) how could such a widely circulated template have such a conspicuous error and (2) why doesn't TSQL have a looping mechanism that does not require such awkward FETCH "pre-seeding"?
p.s. How do I insert code into a forum post that is single-spaced, rather than duoble-spaced (like my ugly double-spaced snippet above)
The template is wrong. You may want to file a bug at http://connect.microsoft.com. Or you could post this in the Tools forum since the template is owned by the tools team and part of SSMS. The looping mechanism without FETCH has been requested frequently by customers and we are considering adding such a syntax in a future version of SQL Server.
As far the copy & paste, if you paste the text from say SSMS query editor as text (not formatted text/html) it will work fine. Quick and dirty way to do it is to paste the text in notepad and copy from there. Of course you will lose the color formatting. I like the behavior of ISQLW and often use it rather than SSMS. You could post about the copy / paste issue with SSMS in the Tools forum also.
Btw, you can also use the utility below to paste some copied content (html, rtf or such formatted text) as plain text easily using different hot key combination:

Bad code clogs replication
I am using Transaction replication on sql2005 SP2.
When deploying a new stored procedure that is supposed to be tested, I
got an error stateing that the number of columns in the select did not
match the number in the insert. I checked the SP and it was fine.
1) Was this really relating to the code, or was there an error in
replication?
2) How do you clear 'bad' transactions from replication?
Thanks,
Peter Cwik
Use the skiperror parameter on the distribution agent to skip these
errors for transactional replication.
Can you provide me with the code for the proc in question. I have not
encountered such an error yet in SQL Server.
I normally deploy changes to procs using sp_addscriptexec.

backupset
Here is my situation:
I have a stored procedure that runs full, differential and
log backups for a particular database.
Each backup has unique name based on the type, day of the
week and the time (e.g. Full_Backup_Monday_12-30).
Thus, backups are kept for one week.
When I review the backup set table, I see the name of my
backup, but in many cases I see an old date for the backup
and start and completion dates. However, when I review
the server, the newer backups are present.
My questions are:
Why isn't the backupset table being updated with the most
recent information?
When is the backupset table updated?
Thanks,
MichaelHi Michael,
Could you create a database backup as following steps?
1. Expand a server group, and then expand a server.
2. Expand databases, right-click the database, point to all tasks, and then
click backup database
3. Type the backup set name in the Name box and Select Database -complete
4. Under Destination, click Tape or Disk, and then specify a backup
destination.
If no backup destinations appear, click Add to add an existing backup
device or to create a new one.
5. Click Ok to create (Don't select the Schedule check box)
6. Check to see the backupset table again.
Is the backupset table updated immediately?
According to my test, the backupset table is updated on my side. When a
real backup finishes, a new record will be inserted in the table. Does it
work on your side? Generally, we do not recommended to directly query
system table. Could you tell me your detailed scenario?

Backups
I have created a backup schedule for all databases on a
SQL server. I have Created a Backup device for each db.
and a single stored procedure that is called with database
name, device & retain days passed as parameters. All
Devices are network locations. I didn't want these backups
to swallow the entire disk space so i set the retain days
to 14. After 2 weeks i hoped that each backup would have
been overwriten. Well that was my logic. 2 weeks are up
and the files created are still growing. After some
investigation it is apparent that the expiry dates have
been passed but the backups sets have not been
overwritten. So much for my plan. I have now re-read BOL
and realised that i have got my wires crossed, the entire
media is overwriten when the expiry dates of all backups
within have been reached. To me this is topsy turvy, why
would i wish to overwrite an entire backup file, maybe if
i had taken a back up of the backup then i would wish to
delete it. Have i yet again misunderstood BOL. What i want
to do is maintain a dynamic history of backups. I back up
my database to a device, this backup lasts for 2 weeks and
then is overwriten. so the actual physical file is never
deleted, only the contents within when the expiry date is
reached.
Help!!!!!!!Expiredays and retaindays are only there to not allow you to overwrite using
the INIT before a certain day. If you aren't using INIT or if you are using
NOINIT, it will always be append. And, it is all or nothing.
If you want generation handling, either use the Maint Wizard, a 3:rd party
like www.dbmaint.com or some TSQL programming to handle this (using more
than one backup device).

Are there any sys SP's or XP's that can be used to edit
backup files? Maybe i could remove expired files..
I have created a stored procedure that looks at a backup
device and tells me which full, DIff and TL backups need
to be applied to restore to a specified point in time. It
looks as if this will nor work if i have to create new
devices..rats...

One alternative is to do append, say over one day (assume db backup once per
day and log backup once per hour). Then after one day, you rename the Active
to give it a timestamp (so you have generations) and then do INIT to the
active one. This is how we did it in Db Maint up until the current version,
where we decided to not do append anymore.

contains code to create a backup device every time it is
run that is named depending on a variable passed.
Alternating every week the physical file names change and
the retain days are set to 7. So as you advised i create a
file and add my backups. After a week i swich to a second
file and use this for a week. After another 7 days i
switch back to the original file that is now ready tbe
overwriten.
My SP that advises me of what backup files to aply now
works in pretty much the same way. It creates a device
based on the parameters and returns the backup history. it
then re-creates the device with the second file name and
apends this to the first run.
Thanks so much, you have been a great help..

One alternative is to do append, say over one day (assume db backup once per
day and log backup once per hour). Then after one day, you rename the Active
to give it a timestamp (so you have generations) and then do INIT to the
active one. This is how we did it in Db Maint up until the current version,
where we decided to not do append anymore.

contains code to create a backup device every time it is
run that is named depending on a variable passed.
Alternating every week the physical file names change and
the retain days are set to 7. So as you advised i create a
file and add my backups. After a week i swich to a second
file and use this for a week. After another 7 days i
switch back to the original file that is now ready tbe
overwriten.
My SP that advises me of what backup files to aply now
works in pretty much the same way. It creates a device
based on the parameters and returns the backup history. it
then re-creates the device with the second file name and
apends this to the first run.
Thanks so much, you have been a great help..

Backup-only ID
I have a stored procedure that I use to execute database backups. It delete
s
old backup files and then creates the full backups of all the databases.
I want to create an ID that can only execute this procedure. I tried
creating a SQL ID with execute permission on this SP and then put the ID in
the db_backupoperator role in each database. But I keep running into
permission issues.
Any suggestions?What issues are you running into? Give specific examples and error messages
.

Backup/Restore Stored Procedure
Hi there
I just want to create Stored Procedure which will do following thing
i) Create a text file, which will have a Schema Script(including all the constraint & others, for a database(by passing Parameter)
ii) the same file must also have, all the data from the selected database tables,in again plain text format (could be CSV, or Tab SV, etc...)
I mean to say, the file should be act as the full backup of database, in plain text.
The same need to be done in the reverse order,this SP will do following things
i)Open the file created by first SP, create new database, with same name as backup in SP one
ii) create the tables, by reading the Schema script.
iii) Insert all the data in corrsponding tables.
For EX:
--creating backup
sp_CreateDatbaseBackup('DatabaseName')
--Restoring
sp_RestoreDatabaseBackup('FileName')
I know abou the Backup & restore in SQL Server 2005, but they gives me backup as .bkp file which is not editable. I too cant use the SSIS(just only SPs)
I want an editable full Backup and Restore.
Please help me in creating these SPs or any other idea, solution ?
OR
any other FREE third party tool which will make the Full database backup & restore in one go & in plain text file.
Regards,
Thanks.

Hi,
I had done something familiar to what you are looking for but i only backed up data. I used bcp to copy data to a file and read data from the file. I am not sure as to how u can back up the schema. If you need more details on the bcp code i can email it to you. Please give me ur email address.
Sapna
|||Sorry, actually the file created by bcp is not editable.|||Hi Sapna
Please send me the SP or the related to it, hope it will help me. my mail ID are

|||I am able to solve the problem i.e the script of all the tables other like constaints, Indexs etc.this is done with the help of Scptxfr.exe(i copied it from V2000), its working very fine in V2005 too.
now, regarding the other problem, scripting the data into, i use BCP & loop through all the table & merge all the files generated into one.
now the problem are
1) i am not able to distinguish between the data for table, i mean the data to which that table belongs to.
2)how can i restore that file?
Regards,
Thanks.
Gurpreet S. Gill|||Can you create individual files for each table using bcp or do you have to create one file. Also you can name the file name same as the table name. This will help you distinguish the tables. While reading the data back u need to specify the file name in the bcp command to open the particular file.
For my application: We used the c sharp code to zip all the individual (tables) files to one file and then encrypt it.
