Hello,i have created a Data transformation task that sends the contents of a table to a flat file, but some of the numbers end up having Exponential notation at the end. How can i stop this from happening?I tried creating a view and converting it to differnt values but it always end up with the notation. It was also changed in DTS without succesExample:0.0500000008032566ends up as:5.0000000803256624E-2Some of the numbers really need to have 13 decimalsPlease advise how to get rid of the E-2

MSSQL As Search Engine
Chatter around the office water cooler is that MSSQL is not great for driving search intensive applications, and that something like Postgres is better for some reason.Something like searching a big customer table, where there will be some character string searches, such as key words in description column. SQL can use full-text search in this case.Are there any "generalities" about 1 flavor of database being better running a search engine compared to others ??

I am trying to convert this code below to MSSQL (from Oracle). I have tried several bad attempts but the TO_NUMBER / TO_CHAR is frustrating me. any one that can help I would REALLY appreciate it. I could not find any links about ms sql doing this, plenty of oracle. needs to be something out there for MS SQL!!! Convert from DEC to HEXLPAD(trim(TO_CHAR(substr(serial_number_dec,0,10), 'XXXXXXXX')),8,'0') || LPAD(trim(TO_CHAR(substr(serial_number_dec,11,8), 'XXXXXX')),6,'0')Convert from HEX to DEC LPAD(TO_NUMBER(substr(serial_number_hex,1,8), 'XXXXXXXXXX'),10,'0') || LPAD(TO_NUMBER(substr(serial_number_hex,9,6), 'XXXXXXXX'),8,'0')

Query to get status of log-shipping
We have custom log-shipping, i can easily find the time stamp when the t-log backup was taken and when the log was restored. As an additional check i thought i could take first and last lsns from source database and match it against first and last lsn's of target database. Apparently the lsn's match ( i.e source firstlsn = target first lsn and same for last lsn ) how ever in reality target database is 60 mins behind. Am i checking against wrong LSN's?

max text replication size
Our replication recently failed with the error "Length of LOB data ... to be replicated exceeds configured maximum ...". The maximum was the default 65536. I doubled it to 131072 and all was well. On investigating I found the occurrence of the TEXT column that was the likely culprit. However I also discovered that there have been numerous recent occurrences of this column > 65536 that did not cause replication to fail. Is there any rational explanation for this? It's a pull transactional replication with both publisher and subscriber at SQL 2008 R2 SP3.

CREATE INDEX statement rollback doesn't behave as expected
Hello everyone.Recently, I needed to apply a clustered index to a table. I first performed the operation in a Staging environment. The operation completed in about 20 minutes, so we planned for Prod to take approximately the same time, but we didn't take down any user apps. After I executed the statement, we let it run for about 4 minutes before we noticed some unanticipated blocking that was causing application queries to time out. Due to the timeouts, we decided to stop the execution, so I cancelled it.Now, I assumed that either one of two things would happen when I pressed the cancel button: 1) SQL Server would stop organizing the data on disk and leave anything it had already moved where it was, thereby causing the rollback to be almost instant.OR2) SQL Server would take the data it had already organized on disk and move it back to where it was before, thereby causing the rollback to take approximately as long as the statement had been executing. In this case, the statement had been running for 4 minutes, so the rollback should make the total time 8 minutes.Well, neither one of those things happened. The rollback actually took 20 minutes by itself, which was the amount of total time the index took to apply in Staging. This made the total time 24 minutes (execution for 4, rollback for 20).Now, I am no internals expert, but what I infer from this is that after I clicked the cancel button, SQL Server had to scan the entire index on disk to find what data it had moved, and then move it back.Does anyone have any more insight on this? Am I even in the ballpark here?FYI, the only thing different between the Staging and Prod environments is that Staging has about 1/6 of the RAM. Also, the table was around 28 million rows and was a heap. Thanks all!

Timeout for insert (table with full text search)
Hi I have a table with 11 G data space and 25,000,000 records.3 fields are configured for full text search, they are all nvarchar(4000) and the cataloge size is 22 G.every day about 1,000,000 records,are inserted into this table.But I have a lot of insert timeout.for example when i run sql profiler or in other times.1.does population is the reason for timeouts?or 2.does the size of cataloge have effect on performance of it?

Unless the log is being backed up is there a reason for setting a databse to the BULK LOGGED recovery model
I understand the benefits of using FULL and or BULK Logged recovery models in as far as backup/restore are concerned but if the log file for a DB is not being backjed up then is there any reason for setting a DB recovery Model to BULK LOGGED or FULL versus using SIMPLE? For some reason the DB that is used by a software/service we use is regularly changed from FULL to BULK LOGGED and back to FULL again throughout the day. I can see it in SQL Servers log files and I can see it happening if I turn on Profiler and capture the activity. I found a Stored procedure inside the DB that consists SET RECOVERY commands and its called numerous times throughout the day. Before we contact the vendor about this I'd like to know if there is a SQL SERVER reason/benefit to doing this seperate from whatever reason the software vendor provides. We have never backed up the log file for this DB so I'm puzzled as to why this thing is constantly changing the DB's recovery model.

Bulk copy from one database to another
Experienced developer but pretty new to SQL Server...About 8 times a year (roughly twice a quarter), I need to copy a subset of tables/columns from one database to another. This is due to data access security requirements over which I have no control (can't turn on cross database access). The copy involves ~ 1 billion records across 10 tables.Most of the source tables have no relationship (no FKs); 4 have FK's to another table. I've created indexes on the target tables to support the queries required by the application.My first attempt (TRUNCATE TABLE, INSERT INTO) filled the transaction logs. After a bit of Googling, I've written a Powershell script that uses the .Net Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy class to copy the data from source to target database.When I tested the performance of this script copying to target heap tables, the results were great. Now that I've added the indexes, not so good.Any advice for improving the performance? Should I disable FK's, drop the indexes, truncate the tables, run the script, recreate the indexes, reenable the FK's? Is the *overall* processing time improved by first dropping the indexes, vs. just truncating the table and letting the indexes get recreated during the bulk copy? From my Googling, it doesn't appear that I can programmatically capture the current indexes and recreate them later. A pity, but this can be easily scripted.I just tested - it appears I have the access rights to change the target database logging mode.Any and all advice appreciated.
