SQL Server 2014 Hosting Netherlands - HostForLIFE.eu :: Index Unused Script in SQL Server

clock December 4, 2014 05:52 by author Peter

As the majority of you will know, an index can enhance the performance of the query most of the time ; internally sql server has to carry out lots of function to keep these indexes in SQL Server 2014. When I started a brand new occupation, I arrived to discover lots of indexes were developed for a few in our production tables. Thus I made a decision to get yourself a script which returns the indexes that’s not active.


Note : it uses the dmv’s so, this isn't a fairly accurate query. However you could use this like a start and apply reasonable just before running the drop index statement.
SELECT  DB_NAME() AS database_name ,
        S.name AS [schema_name] ,
        O.name AS [object_name] ,
        C.name AS column_name ,
        I.name AS index_name ,
        ( CASE WHEN I.is_disabled = 1 THEN 'Yes'
                ELSE 'No'
           END ) AS [disabled] ,
        ( CASE WHEN I.is_hypothetical = 1 THEN 'Yes'
                ELSE 'No'
            END ) AS hypothetical ,
        rows = (SELECT SUM(p.rows) FROM sys.partitions p WHERE p.index_id = i.index_id
                        AND p.object_id = i.object_id GROUP BY p.index_id, p.OBJECT_ID),
        N'USE ' + DB_NAME() + N'; DROP INDEX ' + QUOTENAME(i.name) + ' ON ' + QUOTENAME(s.name) +
                    '.' + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_NAME(i.OBJECT_ID)) AS 'drop statement'
FROM    [sys].[indexes] I
       INNER JOIN [sys].[objects] O ON O.[object_id] = I.[object_id]
                                       AND O.[type] = 'U'
                                        AND O.is_ms_shipped = 0
                                        AND O.name <> 'sysdiagrams'

        INNER JOIN [sys].[columns] C ON C.[object_id] = IC.[object_id]
                                        AND C.column_id = IC.column_id
WHERE   I.[type] > 0

DotNetNuke 7.3 Hosting UK - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Add Token For Your Control to New Skin in DNN?

clock December 2, 2014 07:44 by author Peter

Today, I will write an article about How to add My Control token to my new skin in DotNetNuke. I did this job by editing database. Afrer uploading my new control I have to change manualy skin.ascx file every time I did a few changes.

Manual method in VisualStudio. NET :
1. First, You must go to directory of parrsed skin bundle inside the Solution Explorer and Refresh Folder

2. Now change the skin.ascx file to add control registration at the top:
<%@ Register TagPrefix=”dnn” TagName=”SIMPLECONTROL” Src=”~/DesktopModules/SimpleControl/SimpleControl.ascx” %>

3. Then, you can add your control to where you want it to be:
<dnn:SIMPLECONTROL ID=”SIMPLECONTROL1″ runat=”server” />

Simple method could be adding an easy token SIMPLECONTROL to skin. htm file, therefore the token could be parsed in to skin. ascx every time you reparse a skin package. To allow this DotNetNuke function you can allow it inside the Admin. In case your version of DotNetNuke doesn't have this choice, you are able to merely add 1 line to some database.

1. First we have to understand a PackageID that many of us discover inside the Packages table. Click Show Data Table upon the Packages table and scroll right all the way down to the place you’ll discover your uploaded module package. Inside my case the PackageID was 84.

2. Next Step, you only got to open up SkinControls table and add this control token definition by adding this values :
PackageID = 84
ControlKey : SIMPLECONTROL
ControlSrc :/DesktopModules/SimpleControl/SimpleControl. Ascx
SupportPartialrendering : False

Tokens are actualy values hidden in SkinControls table.



European nopCommerce Hosting - UK :: How to Recover Your Administrator Password in nopCommerce?

clock November 27, 2014 10:21 by author Scott

In this tutorial, we will talk about how to recover administrator password in nopcommerce. Once you have installed nopCommerce, you suddenly deleted administrator account by mistake. So, how do you recover the administrator account?

Don’t be panic. Please just follow this steps below:

1. Login to the database in SQL Server (using tool like SSMS etc)
2. Open the database and run this sql query:

UPDATE Customer
  SETDeleted = 0
  WHERE Id = 1

The things you need to note:

a. Id is the account id from the "Customer" table of your admin account. Usually id=1 for default admin account. If you create any extra admin account and trying to recover the account, then you

will need to check the "Customer" table to get the correct id for the specific account (or record).

b. All the account records if deleted, never gets permanently deleted from the database. Only the value of column "Delete" change from "False" to "True" if you delete any account. In  the sql script, we are simply changing the value back from "True" to "False".

3. How to recover the account if you do not have the "id"?

Well, as long as you remember the username or email address, you can change your sql script accordingly like this:

WHERE Username = 'MyUsername'

Or

WHERE Email = '[email protected]'

Hope this helps!

 



SQL Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Configure Folder Permissions in SSRS ?

clock November 25, 2014 10:49 by author Peter

The very first thing that we need to do is create a new SSRS 2012 Role that may be used across multiple users/groups which gave minimum permissions towards the SSRS folder structure, however permitted all of these to make, edit, and delete their own reports. In an effort to produce the new Role we linked to Reporting Services by using the Microsoft SQL Management Studio.

Now, expand Security and then right click on Roles and click New Role

Next Enter a name and description to the Role, assign the View Reports, Handle Reports, and Consume Reports permissions, and click OK. We named our Role “Users”.

Then Browse within your SSRS Report Manager website (http://yoursqlsite/Reports)  and click on Folder Settings.

Click on New Role Assignment and type inside the user or group name you would like the Role assigned to, click the check box next to the Browser Role then click OK.

In our case we've 2 folders made, TestFolder1 and TestFolder2. We'll assign the Test1 user to TestFolder1 and also the Test2 user to TestFolder2 after which lock it down wherever they can't view each others’ folders and can't delete their root folder (TestFolderX). Hover your mouse around TestFolder1 then click the down arrow and click Security.

Click Edit Item Security, click OK upon the inherited security alert, and eliminate any users which you don't need to discover or get access to the folder. Click Edit next towards the user which you would like to have create/edit/delete report capabilities and add the new Role you produced in stage 3. The user ought to have Browser and also the new Role permissions.

Do the same thing for each folder, limiting the permissions to only the users who need use of the folders.
Login as perhaps one of the users and verify which they simply notice their assigned folders and therefore are unable to delete their parent folder.

Once Reports are produced you are also able to limit the permissions upon the Reports themselves in an effort to avoid all of these from edited or deleted.



SQL Server 2012 Hosting UK - HostForLIFE.eu :: Moving a Table to Another Schema

clock November 20, 2014 05:35 by author Peter

From SQL Server 2005, all tables are grouped into schemas. Even though making a table in case the schema name isn't specified it's developed inside the default schema from the user making it. You are able to use ALTER SCHEMA command to move tables in among schemas. For instance, in case I develop a table using below script it is going to be developed below my default schema that is dbo:
USE [hostsql]
GO
CREATE TABLE Employee
(
       ID     INT,
       Name VARCHAR(20)
)
GO
SELECT name, [schema] = SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)
FROM   sys.tables
WHERE  name = 'Employee'
GO

Result Set:
name            schema
Employee      dbo
(1 row(s) affected)

As you are able to notice coming from the output the table is currently in dbo schema. Currently to move this table to another schema utilizing ALTER SCHEMA command, first we have to create the schema in case it doesn't exist by now. When that many of us can move table to new schema.
USE [SqlAndMe]
GO CREATE SCHEMA Staff
GO 
ALTER SCHEMA Staff
TRANSFER dbo.Employee
GO 
SELECT name, [schema] = SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)
FROM   sys.tables
WHERE  name = 'Employee'
GO


Result Set:
name            schema
Employee      Staff 
(1 row(s) affected)

As you can see from the result, the table of Employee is now moved to Staff schema.



SQL Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 Hosting UK - HostForLIFE.eu :: Remove HTML From a String (T-SQL) on SSRS

clock November 18, 2014 07:55 by author Peter

I have been focusing on SQL Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 using a supply database that had terribly fascinating worth inside the field. It looked such as HTML upon the website :

It is very annoying for business users to discover some thing similar to this on SSRS report :
SELECT TheName = 'Put your <span style="color: #ff0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline">name </span>in the box:'

This was a " name " column simply beneath the ID in database and there wasn't some other columns along with no HTML. I'm not so positive in case somebody took a incorrect approach making this field using HTML or that was an intension of the developer creating his life easier on the online interface, however I've determined to get yourself a quick answer to eliminate it and to provide the report when I can.
CREATE FUNCTION fn_RemoveHTMLFromText (@inputString nvarchar(max))
RETURNS nvarchar(MAX)
AS
BEGIN

  /*Variables to store source fielde temporarily and to remove tags one by one*/
  DECLARE @replaceHTML nvarchar(2000), @counter int, @outputString nvarchar(max)
  set @counter = 0
  SET @outputString = @inputString

  /*This was extra case which I've added later to remove no-break space*/
  SET @outputString = REPLACE(@outputString, '&nbsp;', '')

  /*This loop searches for tags beginning with "<" and ending with ">" */
  WHILE (CHARINDEX('<', @outputString,1)>0 AND CHARINDEX('>', @outputString,1)>0)
  BEGIN
    SET @counter = @counter + 1

    /*
    Some math here... looking for tags and taking substring storing result into temporarily variable, for example "</span>"
   */
   SELECT @replaceHTML = SUBSTRING(@outputString, CHARINDEX('<', @outputString,1), CHARINDEX('>',   @outputString,1)-CHARINDEX('<', @outputString,1)+1)

   /* Replace the tag that we stored in previous step */
   SET @outputString = REPLACE(@outputString, @replaceHTML, '')

   /* Let's clear our variable just in case... */
   SET @replaceHTML = ''

   /* Let's set up maximum number of tags just for fun breaking the loop after 15 tags */
  if @counter >15
      RETURN(@outputString);
  END
  RETURN(@outputString);
END

And now, let use the fuction:
SELECT TheName = dbo.fn_RemoveHTMLFromText ('Put your <span style="color: #ff0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline">name </span>in the box:')

And finally, this is what I wanna see:

This is simply easy resolution that has been applied upon the field along with not so many HTML tags, other then may be simply changed into more serious HTML cleaner.



France European SQL 2008 R2 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Change SMTP servers on Database Mail with SQL Server??

clock November 13, 2014 08:43 by author Peter

The database I inheritable when I started my current job sends out a lot of mails. It does therefore using database Mail with SQL Server, and it's a lot of mail accounts and mail profiles outlined. I do know that many of these profiles are used, i think that some aren't, and that I haven't any plan concerning the rest – in the future I'll notice the time to clean up, however to this point there have always been a lot of pressing matters to attend to.

But nowadays the mail administrator told me that thanks to a modification in design, SQL Server had to start using a completely different SMTP server for sending mails. Quite easy task if you've got just a single profile. Just a couple of clicks within the database Mail Configuration Wizard, and done. But continuation those self same mouse-clicks for each profile within the list wasn't my plan of a morning well spent, therefore I made a decision that I’d got to script this. (This ought to be easy – we've just a single SMTP server, therefore I may hit each single mail account and did not get to trouble with exceptions).

Usually, scripts for such a task are terribly easy. You just type a felicitous search string in your favorite Search Engine, check the primary 2 or 3 hits, and you’ll have a script. Sometimes even over one. Carefully inspect the script,copy the script, paste into SSMS, build adjustments for your own scenario, do a new review simply to take care. Bottom line, I did not notice a pre-made script for this task, therefore I put in the effort to put in writing one, so determined to share it with you.

Note that the script below was tested on SQL Server 2008R2 only. also note that it'll update all mail accounts to use the new SMTP server. If you've got a a lot of complicated setup with multiple servers and just some got to change, you may got to add the correct filtering criteria to the wherever clause.

DECLARE @NewServer sysname = 'NotTelling.mail', -- New SMTP server
        @OldServer sysname = 'MySecret.mail',   -- Old SMTP server
        @account_id int;
DECLARE Cursor_MailAccounts CURSOR LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY STATIC READ_ONLY
FOR SELECT account_id
    FROM   msdb.dbo.sysmail_server
    WHERE  servername = @OldServer;             -- Add extra logic here
OPEN Cursor_MailAccounts;

FETCH NEXT
FROM  Cursor_MailAccounts
INTO  @account_id;

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN;
    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_update_account_sp
                @account_id = @account_id,
                @mailserver_name = @NewServer;
   
    FETCH NEXT
    FROM  Cursor_MailAccounts
    INTO  @account_id;
END;

CLOSE Cursor_MailAccounts;
DEALLOCATE Cursor_MailAccounts;

I hope it will works for you!
