Loss of Decimals Upon Link to Access

Hi. I have an Access DB that's linked to a SQL DB view. The SQL view is base
d
on a table which has some data types as float. I created a view on the table
.
The view shows me units of a product divided by units of all products. The
results are expressed in the view as decimals. So, for example, .499857. Thi
s
is what I want. However, when I link the view to Access, all of my decimals
become zero. For example, .499857 becomes 0. I'm completely confounded. Any
suggestions would be fantastic! Thanks!If the SQL view is correct and you can use Query Analyzer to
view the results and they are as expected then this is more
of any MS Access issue. Make sure you have the latest Jet
service pack installed on the client.
But this is more of an Access issue so you would want to try
posting in one of the Access newsgroups. When posting your
question, be sure to include versions (version of SQL
Server, version of Access), what service packs you are
using.

Loss of data due to conflict

hi all,
i installed merge replication successfully,after that i tried to add a row from publisher with id 2004 (it is primary key and autogenerated column)and different other columns,same like that i inserted a row from subscriber with id as 2004 and different ot
her column.when i observed after merge agent is successfull only one row is replicated the other row is failed to replicate due to conflict.this causing loss of data.please advise what i have to do to get data from both sides.
thanks®ards,
reddy
Reddy,
with merge, if you have identity columns as the PK, you need to partition
according to publisher and subscriber ie each uses its own range. Before
initialization, the publisher PK is set to be "Identity Yes (Not for
Replication)" and SQL Server will manage the seeds on publisher and
subscriber and you can define when a new seed is allocated. In your case
this doesn't seem to be happening, presumably because it is a manual setup?
If this is so, you'll need to partition the identity values yourself. Here
is an article which should help you:

HTH,

|||paul,
thank you very much for your information.
but if i set different ranges both on publisher and subscriber the sequence will be broken.is there anyother way you would like to suggest.
thanks®ards
chandra
|||In merge. there is no other way to partition on one single PK-identity column and avoid identity conflicts, as this would mean the subscriber needs to be in contact at all times with the publisher (zero autonomy). This is possible in transactional with im
mediate updating subscribers, as the publisher itself controlls all identity values, even those on the subscriber.
As an alternative, you could make your PK 2 columns with one of them as the Site Identifier, while the other is an identity column. In this way duplicate identity values could be added and this wouldn't result in a conflict.
HTH,
Paul Ibison
|||paul,
thank you very much for your information.i go for second option that is pk 2 columns with one of them as site identifier.
i think it will works fine for my requirement.

Loss of connection to linked servers -- Please help

All,
SQL 2000, sp3, Server 2000 sp4
I have 3 servers, they are all set up as linked servers. The link to the

Loss of Connection

We have an application running on a server that does a connection
check on it's connection to the database on a SQL Server 2000.
Sometimes it looses it's connection and then is unable to restablish
the connection for over an hour. During the time that it looses
contact with the SQL Server there is some pretty heavy activity on the
SQL Server 2000 box.
Is there some setting I've overlooked ... or is this some weakness on
the part of SQL Server ? I don't think the application is doing a
query or anything, I think it's just some heartbeat kind of routine.

attaching via name may be unrealizable. Try using the IP address.

Loss of Column properties when exporting with DTS

Exporting a sql 2000 database from one sql 2000 server to another. I am using DTS import/export Wizard. The data transfers fine but column properties such as identity = yes or default value = (getdate()) are lost in transfer. What am I missing??May check this DB JOurnal (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/1499481) article.

Losing umlauts in SQL Templates

Hi there,

does anybody know why I'm losing all umlauts whenever I drag a custom template to a script? Double-clicking works fine, but I definitely want to avoid a unproductive workaround like double click > mark all >copy > paste in other script.

We work a lot with shared templates and we cannot avoid using umlauts in the scripts.

Any expericences or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Thomas

Sounds like your local windows regional settings might not be right for you. Try changing the input language to German and see if that helps.

|||We once has that while using the wrong encoding for our scripts. We finally decided to take the unicode format which solved the problems.

|||I already use German as input language. Sorry, but this does not seem to help.|||Thanks for your answer. Can you give me a hint, where I could change the encoding?|||

Savinf as file in SQL MS or VS, use the Save as... then use the small little arrow / combobox in the file dialog within "save as" to specify the encoding.

Excellent, it works! Thank's a lot, Jens!

Losing temporal tables

Hi, i want to know if there's any particular reason why a temporal
table can be dropped before closing the session.
I'm having the following problem: i create the temp table when a form
of my application is created, work with it and then drop it on the
form's close event.
It works fine most of the time, but from time to time the table seems
to be dropped before i close the form because i'm having a: #MyTable
doesn't exists error message.
Any ideas?
Working against SQL2K, W2K Server, from a W2K Pro machine.
Thanx
If your connection is getting dropped at any time you will loose the temp
table. Temp tables are really designed for a brief life span. If you need
to hold certain information for long periods of time like that you may want
to consider using real tables. Or better yet maybe a RS on the client.
