sql-server-2008-r2

I am building a report that I would like to accept two values from the user, feed those into a query, and find the data associated with those entries. For example, if you had a list of employees, performance measures, and values associated with those; then the user would select an employee name / performance measure, and they would get the scoring information on that employee for that measure. I have two parameters, each being populated from SQL queries getting a distinct list of employee names and measures, and a table below that just pulls up information based on ~ 'WHERE name = @Name AND

I Want To Create Index In SQL Server 2008 R2 in Column1 and Column2 What is the difference of below query: Not include CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_1] ON [dbo].[MyTable] ( [Column1] ASC, [Column2] ASC ) ON [PRIMARY] Or include: CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_2] ON [dbo].[MyTable] ( [Column1] ASC ) INCLUDE ([Column2]) ON [PRIMARY] Martin Smith In the first one Column2 gets added to the index key. In the second one it might not (*) get added to the key in which case it will only appear in the index leaf pages. This can allow the index to be searched by Column1 but avoid the need to go back to

I'd like to get 4:30 PM of the current day. Hard-coding this way doesn't work: SELECT '07242012 16:30:00.000' This is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be. How do I approach this? SQL Server 2000 / 2005: SELECT DATEADD(MINUTE, 30, DATEADD(HOUR, 16, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))); -- or SELECT DATEADD(MINUTE, (16*60) + 30, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) -- or SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(9), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 112) + '16:30'); SQL Server 2008+: SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) + '16:30'; SQL Server 2012: SELECT

I executed the task Take offline of a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. I cant bring it online! I tried with USE master; GO ALTER DATABASE [DBNAME] SET ONLINE I get an error. User does not have permission to alter database 'DBNAME', the database does not exist, or the database is not in a state that allows access checks. I also tried using the task Bring online and I get the exact same error. Can anyone help me asap? I think you're going to need to login with the SA account, or some other account with sysadmin privileges, and then run your code to put it back online. While you're in there, add

I recognize there has been many questions posted about converting strings to datetime already but I haven't found anything for converting a string like 20120225143620 which includes seconds. I was trying to perform a clean conversion without substring-ing each segment out and concatenating with / and : . Does anyone have any suggestions? You can use the STUFF() method to insert characters into your string to format it in to a value SQL Server will be able to understand: DECLARE @datestring NVARCHAR(20) = '20120225143620' -- desired format: '20120225 14:36:20' SET @datestring = STUFF(STUFF
