Then yes the only solution is to re install. I think there may be a way to recover the sa but I don't know.

First thing I do when setting up is create 2 sa users and put the creds into passwordsafe having lost the sa password in the past Blush | :O

Stop the SQL service;
Start SQL in single-user mode with the -m parameter;
Log in using a local administrator account;
Add your account to the sysadmin role and/or reset the sa password;
Re-start SQL without the -m parameter;

I have been searching the far reaches of the web trying to find a way to import all of my rss feeds into openofice base. From what I have gathered so far is that it is possible with VBA code but could not find it anywhere. I think this should not be that difficult.

Also, I have been trying to find a way to forward emails to same database. Is there a way to setup a database email address to send mail to? I have already tried to forward the emails to rss feed but that is not without errors.

Please assist me in anyway, thank you.

You didn't share any error details. Always include that in your question.

Where did you store the connectionstring? in web.config file? Then make sure you're using the right host. Check these
Remote ORACLE server connection string[^]
Oracle connection strings[^]

SQL Select Statement ?

I have a sql select statement that returns a list of codes and I need to edit the results to reflect the description of the codes.

For example:

Code = Description
1 = Happy
2 = Sad
3 = Mad
etc...

So how do I translate my code values to the description values in SQL? The description values are not in a table and would need to be hard-coded in the sql statement.

Hopefully this questions makes sense. I tried google before posting with limited results because I'm not sure if what I am asking can be done.

I'd appreciate any assistance!

Thanks!

That is where your error is, the description should be another column in the table, that why you will not find a sensible answer to your searches it just is not correct to put the description anywhere but the table.

This is a one-time extract for a third party vendor who requires us to translate our code to their description. I'd rather not create a table in my production environment for one-time use.

I believe that one more table will not hurt (and no such thing that one time)...
But,

you can write also CASE like this:

SQL

CASE CODE
  WHEN 1 THEN 'HAPPY'
  WHEN 2 THEN 'SAD'
  WHEN 3 THEN 'MAD'
END

There is no such thing, whichever method you use (mood table, case query) make sure you retain the script, you WILL need it again!

Quote:

SQL is designed to handle table data - so if you have a list of codes with descriptions, then put them into a table and join it to get the description.

For instance:

PERSON table

id	name	status
1	Peter	2
2	mrfalk	1
3	Larry	3

MOOD table

code	description
1	Happy
2	Sad
3	Mad

SQL

SELECT ID, NAME, DESCRIPTION
FROM PERSON
LEFT JOIN MOOD ON CODE = STATUS

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

My first suggestion would be to not crosspost. It feels as if you're simply not satisfied with the answers already given there.

The person owning the database-server will be the owner of the database and hence, of the data. It's not "your" database. Password-policies aren't going to help; the local admin is in charge. You could encrypt your TSQL procedures, just for fun.

If you're afraid someone steals your design then don't give away the database. Host it yourself on a server and provide some webservices to it. Call it a cloud if you want.

Hi,

We have two different production environments, in literally two different locations physically, with the same table layouts. For purposes of data warehouse, the two environments.

I want to copy over data from server 1 to server 2. The table has only 4000 rows. The date format of this data is of the form

2013-10-01 10:28:35.560

. so, i worry if I try to export this data into excel from server 1 and try to import this data back into server 2's table if I would lose any of the information.

What would be the best way to copy over the table?

Thanks so much!

Is this a one time or daily.

If daily think about replication.

Can the two systems talk to each other? If you must export to a table one option would be .CSV which would not loose the data like Excel will.

vkEE10-Oct-13 3:19

10-Oct-13 3:19

it is a one time deal only.

And the two systems don't talk to each other.

Thanks!!

The environments don't talk to each other - the servers are physically located in different states.

And if i export to excel, I am worried about losing some of the data, as I have specified above.

Thanks.

Which is why I suggested the Export/Import Wizard.

Why do you want to use Excel? And if you are storing dates and times in your database as strings you are heasding for trouble.

Create a backup of the database on server A.

Restore the backup on server B under a new name. Do a "SELECT INTO" from the new database into the target-table.
