SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Return Value in SQL Server from EXEC Function ?

clock February 16, 2016 20:15 by author Peter

In this tutorial, I will show you how to Return Value in SQL Server  from EXEC Function. If you specify the OUTPUT keyword for a parameter in the procedure definition, the procedure can return the current value of the parameter to the calling program when the procedure exits. The following Stored Procedure is used which returns an Integer value 1 if the StudentId exists and 0 if the StudentId does not exists.

CREATE PROCEDURE CheckStudentId 
@StudentId INT 
AS 
BEGIN 
SET NOCOUNT ON; 
DECLARE @Exists INT 
IF EXISTS(SELECT StudentId FROM Students WHERE StudentId = @StudentId) 
BEGIN 
SET @Exists = 1 
END 
ELSE 
BEGIN 
SET @Exists = 0 
END 
RETURN @Exists 
END 

Returned value from EXEC function:
The returned integer value from the Stored Procedure, you need to make use of an Integer variable and use along with the EXEC command while executing the Stored Procedure.

    DECLARE @ReturnValue INT 
    EXEC @ReturnValue = < Store Procedure Name > < Parameters > Select @ReturnValue 
    Example: DECLARE @ReturnValue INT 
    EXEC @ReturnValue = CheckStudentId 34 
    SELECT @ReturnValue 

If There are valid StudentId then Output will be : 1

SQL Server 2012 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Managing Number of SQL Server ErrorLog

clock January 5, 2016 21:36 by author Peter

Microsoft SQL Server saves 7 errorlog files by default. When new errorlog is made, the recent one will be deleted at identical time. If you wish to keep a lot of errorlog, you'll follow 2 ways below to manage number of SQL Server ErrorLog, including both increasing and decreasing ErrorLog number.
Method 1: configure SQL Server ErrorLog number in SSMS
Step 1: Open SQL Server Management Studio. connect with SQL Server with SQL Server Authentication.

Tips: If user account password forgot, you'll only reset user password or change user forgotten password. So login to SQL Server with SQL Server Authentication and new user password. Otherwise, even though you'll successfully connect with SQL Server with Windows Authentication, the following error still occurs as soon as you want to configure SQL Server logs.

Step 2: Navigate to Management > SQL Server Logs. Right-click on SQL Server Logs and choose Configure.

Step 3: In pop-up window Configure SQL Server Error Logs, tick the box "Limit the number of error log files before they are recycling". And set "Maximum number of error log" with willing number. Save changes at last before you close this window.

Method 2: Change Number of SQL Server ErrorLog in Registry Editor

Step 1: First, type regedit in Start box, and press Enter to run Registry Editor.

Step 2: Now, Locate to the following path(1 or 2) and create a new entry in registry editor.
1. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer
2. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer

Right-click in the right blank pane of registry editor, and tap New > QWORD (64-bit) Value button in pop-up options.


Step 3: Rename the entry as NumErrorLogs and double-click it to edit its value. Type a number that you want to save SQL Server ErrorLog file. Tick Decimal under Base and click OK.

Close Registry Editor and finish setting on increasing or decreasing number of SQL Server Errorog file.

SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Add Primary Key to Existing Table

clock December 8, 2015 23:28 by author Peter

I have an existing table referred to as Persion. in this table I actually have five columns:
persionId
Pname
PMid
Pdescription
Pamt

When I created this table, I set PersionId and Pname because the primary key. I now wish to include an extra column within the primary key - PMID. however can i write an ALTER statement to try and do this? (I already have 1000 records in the table). First, you can drop constraint and recreate it with the following code:
alter table Persion drop CONSTRAINT <constraint_name>
alter table Persion add primary key (persionId,Pname,PMID)


You can find the constraint name by using the code below:
select OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS NameofConstraint
FROM sys.objects
where OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)='Persion'
and type_desc LIKE '%CONSTRAINT'


I think something like this should work
-- drop current primary key constraint
ALTER TABLE dbo.persion
DROP CONSTRAINT PK_persionId;
GO

-- add new auto incremented field
ALTER TABLE dbo.persion
ADD pmid BIGINT IDENTITY;
GO

-- create new primary key constraint
ALTER TABLE dbo.persion
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_persionId PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (pmid, persionId);
GO

SQL Server 2012 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu:: How to Configuring a Server Side Trace in SQL Server 2012?

clock November 24, 2015 19:37 by author Peter

When I’m after SQL Server performance problems, SQL Server Profiler is still my beloved tool. Allthough i do know that extended events offer a mor light-weight answer, those are still a bit cumbersome to use (but I’ve seen that we are able to expect some enhancements with SQL Server 2012).

When I’m using profiler to isolate performance problems, I attempt to tack server side traces, whenever doable. luckily, SQL Server Profiler can assist you making a script for a server side trace (File/Export/Script Trace Definition), so you don’t have to figure out all the event- and column-codes. As i used to be doing a similar configuration again and again, i made a decision to separate the TSQL code for the configuration within a stored procedure.

And here comes dbo.configureServerSideTrace:
if object_id('dbo.configureServerSideTrace', 'P') is not null
drop procedure dbo.configureServerSideTrace
go

-- Example for:
-- Start Trace
--   declare @traceID int
--   exec dbo.configureServerSideTrace @traceStatus = 1

--                                    ,@traceFileName = N'e:\VMITrace\Undo'
--                                    ,@spId = @@spid
--
-- End Trace
--   exec dbo.configureServerSideTrace @traceStatus = 0, @traceID = @traceID

create procedure dbo.configureServerSideTrace
             (@traceStatus   bit                  -- 1 => Start Trace
                                                  -- 0 => Stop Trace
             ,@traceID       int output           -- If the Trace is started, this param will return the TraceID
                                                  -- For stopping the trace, the param has to be provided
             ,@spId          int           = null -- provide the @@spid, if you want to filter only events for this conection
                                                  -- Optional. If not provided => no filter. Not needed for stopping the trace
             ,@maxFileSize   bigint        = 5000 -- Maximum Trace File Size in Megabyte. Trace will be stopped, if the filesize is reached.
             ,@traceFileName nvarchar(200) = null -- Name of the trace file (server side!)
                                                  -- Optional. Not neded for stoping the trace
                                                  -- Attention! If the file already exists, the SP will yield an error
                                                  -- and no trace is started.
             ) as
begin

if (@traceStatus = 0)
begin
exec sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 0
exec sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 2
return;
end

-- Create a Queue
declare @rc int

exec @rc = sp_trace_create @TraceID output, 0, @traceFileName, @maxfilesize, NULL
if (@rc != 0) goto error

-- Set the events

goto finish

error:

finish:
end
go


Some annotations:

  • For the parameters, see the comments.
  • Don’t specify a string for the trace file. .TRC will be added automatically.
  • ensure that the output file doesn't already exist. Otherwise you’ll get an error.
  • very often I replace the code for beginning and stopping the trace inside “interesting code” inside a stored procedure. That is, I’m wrapping some more or less awkward code by starting and stopping a trace like this:

declare @traceID int
exec dbo.configureServerSideTrace @traceStatus = 1
                                 ,@traceID = @traceID output
                                 ,@maxFileSize = 10000
                                 ,@traceFileName = N'e:\MyTrace\Test'
                                 ,@spId = @@spid

--
-- Code of interest
--

exec dbo.configureServerSideTrace @traceStatus = 0, @traceID = @traceID

SQL Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Display SSRS Reports in Chrome, Firefox and Safari?

clock November 3, 2015 23:21 by author Peter

By default SSRS Reports do not render in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.  However, there's a hack that may be enforced to get this working. To fix the matter, we'd like to create a custom stylesheet for SSRS.  The new style sheet will use media queries to focus on the non-IE browsers.  So, In theory, i.e. won't be impacted using this solution.  This by no means that an ideal solution, and that i haven't had time to check it in every possible situation.  However, it's worked for me once I understand a user has to view a report in a non-IE browser.  It works best if you're hyper linking to a report from another location.

 

In SQL Server 2012,  you’ll find the SSRS css files located in 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.[Instance Name]\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Styles.

Create a new css file.  In the file paste the following styles:

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0)

{    div[style] {        overflow:visible !important;    }}@-moz-document url-prefix() {    div[style] {         overflow:visible !important;    }}

Then you will want to take the contents of the HtmlViewer.css file and paste it before the styles above.  From what I can tell, this will tell SSRS to override the entire default css file with the new css file.

In order to call the report with the new css file you will need to use the following url format:

http://[your server dns name]/[Your SSRS Instance Webservice Path]?[Report Path]&rc.StyleSheet=[the new css file name]

For the example

http://www.yourdomain.com/ReportServer?/MyReports/Reports/TestReport&rc:Stylesheet=NonIEStylesheet

where NonIEStylesheet is the name of the css file we placed into

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.[Instance Name]\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Styles.  

Also notice we didn't use the /Reports/ endpoint for SSRS.  We have to use the /ReportServer/ endpoint.

SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Check Last Accessed And Modified Table Data in SQL Server?

clock October 29, 2015 23:38 by author Peter

Now, I will guide you how to check last accessed and modified table data in SQL Data. And here is the script that I use:

/*************************************************/
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS [Object_Name], last_user_update,last_user_scan  ,*
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
WHERE database_id = DB_ID( 'Access') AND OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID('test')
/*************************************************/

--Note: This will return null if sql server restarted and after that data is not accessed

         Demo:
/**** Create New Database ****/
Create Database Access
GO
use Access
GO
/**** Create Table ****/
Create Table test (id int , name varchar (100))
GO
/**** Insert New Record ****/
Insert into test values (1,'saurabh')
Insert into test values (2,'Sumit')
GO
/**** After insertion Check Stats ****/
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS [Object_Name], last_user_update,last_user_scan  ,*
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats WHERE database_id = DB_ID( 'Access') AND OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID('test')

Object_Name   last_user_update                  last_user_scan
test               2015-10-29 08:39:54.100           NULL

Here last user scan is null because we are just inserted data, If we read data then we'll get read time also
So now we are going to read data and see if we get last user scan. Now, write the following code:

Select * from access.dbo.test
GO
/**** Checking Stats ****/
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS [Object_Name], last_user_update,last_user_scan  ,*
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats WHERE database_id = DB_ID( 'Access') AND OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID('test')


So here we just updated table , didnt read. You can see the result on the following picture:

Similarly if we want to see how current indexes are performing on table we can see user scan , user seek or look ups.

SQL Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Fix Subscription Inventory, Failed Subscriptions in SSRS Utility Reports?

clock October 27, 2015 23:05 by author Peter

Today, let me show you How to Fix Subscription Inventory, Failed Subscriptions in SSRS Utility Reports. When delivering a SQL Server reporting Services (SSRS) solution with countless subscriptions, it's useful to conjointly include some utility reports regarding those subscriptions.

Here are a combine of queries you'll use against the ReportServer database (in this case, SQL Server 2014) to come up with some quick internal reports for an inventory of report subscriptions (who is receiving what, when, in what format, together with parameters?) and failed report subscriptions (what subscriptions have failed and why?), each with helpful info, timestamps and URL's.

Don't forget to alter the URL path's servername for these reports to reflect your own setup, keeping in mind that if you are using a named instance, the yourservername/Reports/ could look more like yourservername/Reports_instancename/.

 

Report Subscription Inventory:
This is an easy way to provide business users with an accurate and easy list of "who's getting what" that is pulled directly from the ReportServer metadata - it'll never be out of date and it's live.

Report Subscription Failures:
Now, we allows the user to see if any subscriptions have failed most recently, for handling typical email or permissions errors, in the past 30 days. Because it uses the subscription's [laststatus] field (the same one you'll see in Report Manager), failures will drop off this report if they succeed again.

SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Script the SQL Server Agent Operators

clock October 22, 2015 23:56 by author Peter

As a part of the Disaster recovery procedures, I wished to script out each server object that we had created. This enclosed SQL Server jobs, logins, operators, coupled servers and proxies. i used to be able to script out everything but the SQL Server Agent operators:

USE msdb
set nocount on;

create table #tbl (
id int not null,
name sysname not null,
enabled tinyint not null,
email_address nvarchar(100) null,
last_email_date int not null,
last_email_time int not null,
pager_address nvarchar(100) null,
last_pager_date int not null,
last_pager_time int not null,
weekday_pager_start_time int not null,
weekday_pager_end_time int not null,
Saturday_pager_start_time int not null,
Saturday_pager_end_time int not null,
Sunday_pager_start_time int not null,
Sunday_pager_end_time int not null,
pager_days tinyint not null,
netsend_address nvarchar(100) null,
last_netsend_date int not null,
last_netsend_time int not null,
category_name sysname null);

insert into #tbl
  EXEC sp_help_operator;

select 'USE msdb;' + char(13) + char(10) + 'if exists (select * from dbo.sysoperators where name =' + quotename(name, char(39)) + ') ' + char(13) + char(10) +
'exec sp_add_operator ' +
'@name = ' + quotename(name, char(39)) + ', ' +
'@enabled = ' + cast (enabled as char(1)) + ', ' +
'@email_address = ' + quotename(email_address, char(39)) + ', ' +
case
when pager_address is not null then '@pager_address = ' + quotename(pager_address, char(39)) + ', '
else ''
end +
'@weekday_pager_start_time = ' + ltrim(str(weekday_pager_start_time)) + ', ' +
'@weekday_pager_end_time = ' + ltrim(str(weekday_pager_end_time)) + ', ' +
'@Saturday_pager_start_time = ' + ltrim(str(Saturday_pager_start_time)) + ', ' +
'@Saturday_pager_end_time = ' + ltrim(str(Saturday_pager_end_time)) + ', ' +
'@Sunday_pager_start_time = ' + ltrim(str(Sunday_pager_start_time)) + ', ' +
'@Sunday_pager_end_time = ' + ltrim(str(Sunday_pager_end_time)) + ', ' +
'@pager_days = ' + cast(pager_days as varchar(3)) +
case
when netsend_address is not null then ', @netsend_address = ' + quotename(netsend_address, char(39))
else ''
end +
case
when category_name != '[Uncategorized]' then ', @category_name = ' + category_name
else ''
end +
'; ' + char(13) + char(10) + 'go'
from #tbl order by id;

drop table #tbl;

I hope it works for you!

SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Use Trigger in SQL Server 2014?

clock October 20, 2015 09:29 by author Peter

A trigger is a special kind of stored procedure that automatically executes when an event occurs in the database server. DML triggers execute when a user tries to modify data through a data manipulation language (DML) event. DML events are INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements on a table or view. These triggers fire when any valid event is fired, regardless of whether or not any table rows are affected.

There are three types of triggers. Basically triggers are classified in to two main type

  • Insert Of Trigger.
  • After Trigger.


This After Trigger run after an insert, update, or delete on table. They are not support view.
So we can say that after trigger also classified in to three types:-

  • AFTER INSERT trigger.
  • AFTER UPDATE trigger.
  • AFTER DELETE trigger.

Insert Trigger
Whenever a row is inserted in the Customers Table, the following trigger will be executed. The newly inserted record is available in the INSERTED table. The following Trigger is fetching the CustomerId of the inserted record and the fetched value is inserted in the CustomerLogs table. Now, write the following code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[Customer_INSERT]
ON [dbo].[Customers]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @CustomerId INT
SELECT @CustomerId = INSERTED.CustomerId      
FROM INSERTED
INSERT INTO CustomerLogs
VALUES(@CustomerId, 'Inserted')
END


Update Trigger
In the below code is an example of an After Update Trigger. Now write the following code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[Customer_UPDATE]
ON [dbo].[Customers]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @CustomerId INT
DECLARE @Action VARCHAR(50)

SELECT @CustomerId = INSERTED.CustomerId      
FROM INSERTED

IF UPDATE(Name)
BEGIN
      SET @Action = 'Updated Name'
END

IF UPDATE(Country)
BEGIN
      SET @Action = 'Updated Country'
END

INSERT INTO CustomerLogs
VALUES(@CustomerId, @Action)
END
