I have data reporting sales by every month and by every customer. When I count the values, the zero-values are not reported because of the sparsa data format. Suppose customer 1-4. Suppose only customers 1-2 have recordings. Straight table has customerIDs on rows and months on the columns such that |CustomerID|MonthID|Value| -------------------------| | 1 |201101 | 10 | | 2 |201101 | 100 | and then they are reported in Crosstab format such that |CustomerID|201101|201102|2011103|...|201501| --------------------------------------------- | 1 | 10 | 0 | 0 |...| 0 | | 2 | 100 | 0 | 0 |...| 0 | | 3

The situation is closely related to SQL Service Broker - communication scenario - migration from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014 and to SQL Service Broker -- one central SQL and more satelite SQL... beginner wants to understand details . After migration from SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Ed. to SQL Server 2014 Standard Ed., the same code does not work. The firewall was set to allow the communication. The sys.transmission_queue (on both sender and receiver servers) keeps empty, and the GenericQueue (my identifier for the queue) receives the messages. However, the procedure attached by (to the receiving

I have an application that uses SqlBulkCopy to move data into a set of tables. It has transpired recently that users that are using SQL2016 are reporting problems with their harddrives being filled with very large databases (that should not be that large). This problem does not occur in SQL2014. Upon inspection it appears that running TableDataSizes.sql (script attached) showed large amounts of space in UnusedSpaceKB. I would like to know if a) There is some bug in SQLServer 2016 or if our use of SQLBulkCopy has "clashed" with a new feature. I note that there has been some changes to Page

I need to calculate how many orderlines there are based on the orderlineNo being distinct. Each OrderNo is different BUT the OrderLineNo is the same for each order. i.e. 9 lines on a order then order lines number will go from 1 - 9. The same if on another order there are 3 orderlines they will go from 1 - 3 But in orderlineno there could be orderline numbers that are the same - for this I only want to count it once Example: OrderNo OrderLineNo 987654 1 987654 2 987654 2 987654 3 987654 4 987654 5 987654 6 987654 7 The total order lines here is 7. There are two order lines with 2 and I want

I just happened to stumble upon this and couldn't find any technical explanation: In SQL Server 2014: SELECT CAST('' AS DATETIME); 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 SELECT CAST(0 AS DATETIME); 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 SELECT CAST('' AS DATE); 1900-01-01 SELECT CAST(CAST(0 AS DATETIME) AS DATE); 1900-01-01 SELECT CAST(0 AS DATE); Msg 529, Level 16, State 2, Line 4 Explicit conversion from data type int to date is not allowed. Why does the CAST from an empty string to DATE and DATETIME work, but from 0 it only works as DATETIME ? I'm interested in a technical explanation I think it's a matter of what

I'm using clickOnce and deploying an installer with it. I have tried various settings. Using SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2012 Express as prerequisite is all ok (I've dowloaded them and set the option of clickonce "download prerequisites from the same path of app"). Now I'm trying to do the same thing with SQL Server 2014 Express. Since the SQL Server 2014 Express package isn't alredy done line 2008 and 2012 versiones, I'm trying to create it. I have done and it seems to work, but while installing it gives error number -2054422506 . It is a very generic error and I don't understand
