SQL Server Will not Start Without a Password Reset via System Services

Hello all

I have a challenge with a SQL server instance I configured to run on a mixed mode authentication. Time and again, the SQL server never starts automatically, yet it configured to do so. I am forced to go to the system services, right click the instance name, go to properties and reset the password via the log on pane. It only then that the sa authentication would go through. Interestingly, this is rising when I have not done any password changes on my system since the installation of SQL server. Has anyone an idea of why this could be happening? If so, what are the suggested long term fixes?

Great thanks

SQL - parsing UK postcode info

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a function that looks at a postcode, then checks it against a field and returns an ID from another table. The problem I'm having is that the field it needs to look up against contains a list of possible postcodes with wildcards. A good example would be:

Text
N1-99, N1?, NW1?, NW*, BR*

In this instance, ? represents any alpha character, * represents any character, and #-## represents all numbers between and including # & ## (so, N1 - N99).

I've gotten as far as stripping out the first part of a postcode from a string, but I don't really know the best angle to come at this from. I'd guess the first thing I need to do is break up the lookup list and check each entry individually against the postcode, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to where I should go from there.

I've attached a list of IDs and their associated...

SQL Server assistance with Stored Procedures

Ok. So, I've looked everywhere I can think of and I need help, please.

I'm creating a stored procedure that will look through a particular table for a purchase requisition (we call them AVOs) that hasn't had activity for over 3 days. I'm trying to dynamically pick up the person who created it and have this alert send to them. I've got the rest of the script taken care of, but I'm having a hard time getting an idea of how to create a recipient list dynamically based on this parameter. I'd prefer not to hard code it as our sales team does change, but at this point, I just want it to work.

Hey Spiceworks,

We are trying to get this SQL Script to include Sub Categories as well as all of the items we have defined in sub categories and time worked on each ticket.

SQL reporting services 2008 toolbar scroll (freeze)

At some point over the last year I think there was an update or change to SSRS 2008.  Before when you would scroll down through a report the toolbar (parameters, VCR buttons, Print button, etc) would stay on the top of the page as you scroll.  Now if a user scrolls to the bottom of the page they would have to scroll all the way back up to the top to hit the print button where before the print button would be right at the top of the page.  Not sure how else to explain this other than the toolbar no longer scrolls with the page and stays at the tippy top of the page instead of scrolling down and staying visible on the page.

Anyone have any idea how to set the toolbar to scroll and stay visible on the page when viewing reports in report server 2008r2?

SQL Server Backups

I'm a newbie to SQL backups, but only with using the Maintenance Plans.

Before I used a 3rd party tool that my last company wrote themselves.

I'm always thought that if i have enough storage and resources I can just run a FULL backup and then that's it. If i need to restore it's just a case of restoring from that backup. Now, at my new job I have been told that I need to use the "COPY ONLY" option, and what i don't understand is why? I read that the best practice to take is to do a Full backup (say Monday) and then a Differential backup (Tuesday-Sunday) and make sure the differentials are set as COPY_ONLY as if another colleague was to take a manual full backup (say Wednesday) of the same database, between my original full backup date (Monday) and my last differential (Thursday) then when i try to restore my Monday Full backup and my...

Trying to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7 Pro (x64). It was previously uninstalled and working however our client uninstalled it from their device after getting Blue Screen crashes.

Now when trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Service Pack 4 (or without SP, or with SP3) we get Error 1603.

The file was downloaded from Microsoft Website and is copied on the C Drive. I have tried manually installing using command prompt etc with the same issue.

I know SQL Server 2005 is no longer in support and not officially supported in Windows 7 but it was working fine and it's the only thing that works with the legacy software we are using it with.

Guys,

     I am contemplating moving to Microsoft SQL Replication, I love the peer-to-peer replication but I don't have the budget for SQL Enterprise.

So based on standard edition Merge is the replication type I was looking at.

I will not use clusters nor always on.

The idea is to have a publisher and a subscriber in our lan and then other subscriber in another site accessible via a site 2 site vpn.

I am trying to find out what would be the best practices to bring everything up and running in case of disaster and minimizing the data loss.

Any suggestions or pointers will be appreciated.

We are using SQL 2014

I have yet to find my answers on this subject. This is exactly what I'm trying to do.

We currently have a system for submitting purchase requisitions. It is held in our DB. I'm only using one table. I'm trying to run a stored procedure that would read through these and check to see if mgrApproval = 'Pending' and QuotedDate is NULL. With these, the information tells me that these AVOs haven't been touched yet. I also have columns that include the number of the requisition, the department it was submitted to and the Employee name.

I'm trying to trigger anything that hasn't been touched in = 3 days, but not older than 3 months. Then take that information, throw it in a table, email it to the specific Employee name. I've found a way to concat the Employee name with our @company.com, which gives us a new column (alias). I'm beside myself.
