Update a Date_Time Field

DJandLO — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:05:45 +0000

I’m trying to update a DATE_TIME field to a NULL value. When I run the script below I get an error. Any ideas on what I’m missing?

UPDATE Orders SET CONFIRMATION_DATE_TIME = ‘ ‘ WHERE ST_ID = 102690

ERROR: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the varchar value ‘Ê’ to a column of data type int.

Thanks!

Update SQL Server 2005 Scripts

DJandLO — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:19:50 +0000

I don’t right code & don’t have the confidence to try on my own so, I’m asking for help.

I need to run an update script to clear out the data from iweb_conf_demo.Attendee_ribbons.
Then I’ll need to run multiple scripts to update multiple records on the same field iweb_conf_demo.Attendee_ribbons for different groups of registrants. For example ID # 123456, 123465, 654321 & 543216 will need to be updated with the Code 0020 and Code 0650.

I’m not sure if this makes a difference or not but, the Code info comes from Gen_table.code.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated – thanks!

Create QA database with only some production tables

Rwaltz — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:50:12 +0000

I have a large database with some tables that have largely static data. I need to make a new database on a different server with the same table structure with the static data tables intact (keys, etc.). The other tables must be empty. They’re all in the same filegroup in the original database. I’ve done this once, by some sort of partial (copy only?) backup and changing filenames… but I’ve lost the script and I can’t locate the original article (yes, I’m kicking myself).
Thanks

SQL Script with hyphen in the value set

Markmorgan47 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:03:18 +0000

We have a particular piece of malware that will put some binary code in the HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Services/{5083B7D5-47AF-8FF9-657C651C2B10}/
I am using an sql script along with Microsofts logparser to parse some data out of the registry on a windows box and I am having trouble with the last bit of the code.
The data is located at HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Services/{5083B7D5-47AF-8FF9-657C651C2B10}/
The date inside the parenthesis is never the same so my script looks like this.
SELECT TOP 1000
ComputerName,
Path,
Keyname,
ValueName,
Valuetype,
Value,
Lastwritetime
INTO *.-servi001ces.csv
FROM \\$NAME$HKLMControlSet001Services{550D0230-5A10-46A2-B53E-6050E712BBCD}
I get an error of “error opening key.
The values inside the parenthesis is never the same and sql does not like the hyphens. Is there a wildcard that can be used for each value and how do I get around the hyphen problem.
I have tried the * for each value but no success.

SQL script to disable views after a demo period.

Katiekat — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:25:31 +0000

Hi, I have a sql view that I created for someone on a test basis. I want to create something (stored procedure, trigger, etc) that will delete or disable this view after a 30 day trial period. I prefer to make the view unvisible even to the “sa” administrator so that the view can not be recreated by someone else. Is this possible? I am currently using SQL Server Management Studio 2005. What is the best way to do that and what is the actual code? This needs to run without the testers knowledge and without my presence.

Your help is greatly appreciated. I’ve been searching the web for weeks trying to figure this out and am up against a deadline of June 28, 2009.
