A mug shot: do developers need multiple versions of SQL Server and Visual Studio?

I am a PC tech for a large company. Recently, we had an influx of developers introduced the support our legacy software. Developers are driving me crazy with software applications.

Why did need SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008R2 on the same system. It is the same with Visual Studio. The same system with all SQL versions will be 3 versions of Visual Studio. Countless programs IBM db and 3rd party utilities. Why do need all of this.
I wonder if they just "want" the software and do not "need". They just require so much software and create so much work for us. I want to know that it is justified.

    How to know and check?

    I need to know specifically which version of SQL Server Express Management Studio install on our vCenter server so I can start to run maintenance such as backups that truncates logs, and also to allow for more storage Journal, we get the error 9002 with the journal storage.

  • We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster), and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, the databases associated with the named instance can stay to the version of SQL Server 2005?

    original title: SQL Server 2008

    We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster) and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, can the databases associated with the named instance remain to the version of SQL Server 2005, I seem to disagree with this notion, but still need to validation of the pro.

    One way I can think of to achieve this scenario changes the compatibility level to SQL Server 2005 when the node has been upgraded to SQL Server 2008, so we can upgrade databases to SQL 2008 as and when the vendors provide support for this version.

  • Need help with PL/SQL so and then select

    Hello guys, I am new to the PL/SQl programming (only Java experience) and I'm pretty stuck to my task. It would be great if you could help me. I am in programming with Oracle SQL * Plus Version 10.2.0.3.0

    Whenever a user logs on to the server a database entry is created with information about the logged-on user. I need to create a PL/SQL command that selects all the information from last month. Unfortunately, the date_stamp column has a certain weird format: 1131210 for December 10, 2013


    My idea so far:


    DECLARE

    v_today NUMBER;

    BEGIN

    v_today: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'MM'));       -Save the number of the month (e.g.12) in v_today

    IF v_today = 01 THEN

    SELECT * from audittrl

    WHERE the date_stamp between 1131201 AND the 1131231;

    ELSIF v_today = 02 THEN

    SELECT * from audittrl

    WHERE the date_stamp between the 1130131 AND 1130101;

    .......

    END IF;

    END;

    /

    Error code: "an INTO clause in this SELECT statement.

    I do not want to save the result to select a variable, hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, I'll try that, if still get caught once, I'll be back. Anway I'm not sure of the solution of Chris227, because I can't test it right now. From my point of view it gives you information the current month (e.g., December) and not the month previous (-online November), or have I missed something. ?

    You are right.  In addition, it does not for a given year.  If you have data from several years in the table, it will select lines for the month of December 2012, 2011, 2010,... but also of 2013.

    Here's a way to get around that:

    DECLARE

    prev_month_start PLS_INTEGER: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE-1)

    , "YYMM"1' "01"

    )

    );

    this_month_start PLS_INTEGER: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE

    , "YYMM"1' "01"

    )

    );

    BEGIN
    FOR (IN) rec
    SELECT *.
    Of audittrl
    WHERE the date_stamp > = prev_month_start
    AND date_stamp< >
    ORDER BY user_id, date_stamp - or other

    )
    LOOP
    dbms_output.put_line (rec.date_stamp);
    dbms_output.put_line (rec.event);
    dbms_output.put_line (rec.user_id)
    dbms_output.put_line (rec.host_name);
    END LOOP;
    END;

    This should also be more effective, because it will allow the optimizer to use an index on date_stamp.  Even if there is no index, it will be more effective because it avoids calling any function (for example, SUBSTR) on each line of the table.

    You needn't PL/SQL to get these results.  Just use SQL, you might say:

    SELECT event, host_name, user_id and date_stamp
    Of audittrl
    WHERE the date_stamp > = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE-1)
    , "YYMM"1' "01"
    )
    )
    AND date_stamp<  to_number="" (="" to_char="" (="" sysdate="" to_number="" (="" to_char="" (="">


    , "YYMM"1' "01"
    )
    )

    ORDER BY user_id, date_stamp - or other

    ;

    Your front end will provide column headers and touch the data so that the columns line up.  It can also set the output to a file.  (For example, if your front-end is SQL * Plus, you can use the command of the COIL.)

    I guess date_stamp is a NUMBER.  If it is a string, the solutions above can be simplified a bit.

    This problem (and many other problems) would be so much simpler if date_stamp was a DATE column.  Using numbers or strings to store the date information is simply asking for trouble.

  • Need help sql server 2008 management Studio.

    I imported a sql database to use Expression Web 4 according to a tutorial I followed from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA. Later, SQL Server 2008 Management Studio running on XP3 returns error that it is impossible to browse the database, which is still on display in the DATA folder that contains all the other databases, as well as in the Expression Web folder, in that it has been copied. How the database for me to work with Management Studio? Glaust

    Glaust, did you eventually get this working or is this even a question? If you can provide a little more information about what you were doing to import you talk. Am I right in assuming that your instance of SQL Server has the database is available for you to access through SSMS. Then, you have completed the import and now you can see the DB in the SSMS DB tree but you get the error and are unable to access the DB?

  • Dblink Oracle to sql server, multiple database on the same server sql under a dblink

    Hi, we managed to set up an Oracle dblink to sql server and retrieve data.

    The user of sql server have been using via dblink has access to multiple databases on the same sql server

    But the question is how in oracle (if possible) prepend you the SQL access to this?

    For example:

    Sqlserver_prod has the user sqlserver_user which seems to be set up as default database sqlserver_db1

    But we have select access to sqlserver_db2

    all work well as sqlserver_user

    Select * from table_fromdb1

    Select * from dbo.table_fromdb1

    Select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1

    as does

    Select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2

    more in Oracle

    Oracle_db a dblink sqlserver_prod. World connection sqlserver_user

    everything works fine

    Select * from 'table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod '.

    Select * from 'dbo '. "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod

    But how to (if possible) access from oracle

    sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2

    without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink

    If oracle for oracle would be

    Select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

  • Visual Studio community 2015 fails to update to the latest Version

    I had this problem for awhile now. My OS is Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview (1511, build 10586.36). I have Visual Studio installed 2015 community.

    When open the menu Extensions and updates, I see two product updates - Application Insight Tools for Visual Studio and Visual Studio 2015 update 1. I tried to install them for several weeks without success. What is happening is that the installation program starts, I see several options of what it must be installed, select what I need and then configure immediately goes to Visual Studio preparation and after one minute it says all updates have been installed. When you open Visual Studio, however, there is no change.

    When you try to update the previews of the Application, the installation will start immediately and trying to update Visual Studio a .exe is downloaded beforehand. Both methods produce the same result. I tried to check the different boxes in the configuration, including checking them, no difference at all.

    An internet search gave no results, so it seems that very few people, if any, to deal with this problem, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help is welcome.
