I am using php 5.3.1 to connect to my SQL SERVER 2000 on remote machine. I use Windows XP. On using simple program like this: $conn = mssql_connect("VBNET","sa","mypass") or die ( 'Can not connect to server' ); I get following error: Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: message: Login failed for user 'sa'.

Using SQL Server 2000 I want to compare the table2.date between table1.from, table1.todate, if exist then value should be 0 (zero) Table1 ID FromDate ToDate 001 20090801 20090815 002 20090817 20090820 …, Table2 Id Date Value 001 20090730 100 001 20090731 200 001 20090801 300 001 20090802 400 … 001 20090815 0 001 20090816 250 … From the above two table I want to ID, Date, value from table2 where table2.date between table1.fromdate and table1.todate then table2.value =0 Expected Output Id Date Value 001 20090730 100 001 20090731 200 001 20090801 0 001 20090802 0 … 001 20090815 0 001 20090816 250

I have a folder that contains images for use badges. I have another folder that contains renamed versions of the images (this folder is on another machine). I need to create a process that will copy and rename any new images found. The mapping between the names is in a SQL Server DB. Would it be a bad idea to create this as a SQL Server job and use xp_cmdshell to copy the files? This was my first instinct, but I haven't done this before so I was curious if there were any gottchas i should know about... Considering most simple questions on SO are answered in seconds , and you asked this one 53

If I have a table with the following fields ID, SomeFK, SomeTime How would I write a query return the latest/top 3 items (based on SomeTime ) for each SomeFK . So, the result might look like SomeFK Sometime 0 2012-07-05 0 2012-07-04 0 2012-07-03 1 2012-07-03 1 2012-07-02 1 2012-07-01 2 2012-07-03 2 2012-07-02 2 2012-07-01 ....etc.... Returning the latest items for a particular SomeFK is easy, but i just can't think how to do it for the above. I also feel it should be dead simple! EDIT: Apologies, I missed a key bit of information. this is for SQL2000, so ROW_NUMBER() can't be used! SELECT

Plain and simple, does anybody know why this: Select 30 * 220 / 30 Returns 220 , which is the correct result, and this: Select 30 * (220/30) Returns 210 ??? On the second case, I realise that 220/30 is being calculated first, generating a decimal (7,333333...) but still... isn't this lousy precision? Under integer division 220/30 = 7 and 99/100 = 0 (note truncation not rounding) Use non integers to avoid this. e.g. Select 30 * (220/30.0) Or you can use an explicit cast Select 30 * (220/cast (30 as float)) The one in the parentheses, is always evaluated first, but since the machine logic you
