I'm not sure you can rename a temporary table. Why do you need to do
this?

Why would you ever want to rename a temp table? This seems especially
pointless with a local temp table, which after all is intended
precisely to give you a locally-scoped name for the table. I'm sure if
you explain your requirement we can suggest a better solution to avoid
doing this.

how to remove login that was dbo of an object
I saw a login that was in the sysadmin role and shouldn't have been. When I
went to the database access tab under properties for the login, each database
had "dbo" in the user column. I couldn't change it so I removed the login and
added him back.
After being sure the login had only datareader rights, when I tried to save
the new login I got an error "the login already has an account under a
different user name". When I clicked ok I got an error "Cannot drop the
database owner". I'm in a loop and can't get out of EM.
How do I fix it?
Thanks,

Dan D.Hi Dan
Please read about logins and users in the Books Online. It seems you have
some confusion about those topics.
Per your subject, there is no such thing as the 'dbo of an object'.
DBO is a user name that exists in every database and can not be removed. Any
one who is in the sysadmin role uses the user name dbo in every database.
There will also be some login name who is the true owner of the database,
and that person also will use the user name dbo.
When you are trying to add this login back, what user name are you giving
him?
To see what databases this login has access to, use Query Analyzer (not EM)
and run sp_helplogin for this login. Let us know what you get back.

went to the database access tab under properties for the login, each database
had "dbo" in the user column. I couldn't change it so I removed the login and
added him back.
After being sure the login had only datareader rights, when I tried to save
the new login I got an error "the login already has an account under a
different user name". When I clicked ok I got an error "Cannot drop the
database owner". I'm in a loop and can't get out of EM.
How do I fix it?

I used sp_changedbowner on all of the databases then I was able to save the

how to remove login that was dbo of an object
I saw a login that was in the sysadmin role and shouldn't have been. When I
went to the database access tab under properties for the login, each databas
e
had "dbo" in the user column. I couldn't change it so I removed the login an
d
added him back.
After being sure the login had only datareader rights, when I tried to save
the new login I got an error "the login already has an account under a
different user name". When I clicked ok I got an error "Cannot drop the
database owner". I'm in a loop and can't get out of EM.
How do I fix it?
Thanks,

Dan D.Hi Dan
Please read about logins and users in the Books Online. It seems you have
some confusion about those topics.
Per your subject, there is no such thing as the 'dbo of an object'.
DBO is a user name that exists in every database and can not be removed. Any
one who is in the sysadmin role uses the user name dbo in every database.
There will also be some login name who is the true owner of the database,
and that person also will use the user name dbo.
When you are trying to add this login back, what user name are you giving
him?
To see what databases this login has access to, use Query Analyzer (not EM)
and run sp_helplogin for this login. Let us know what you get back.

how to remove login that was dbo of an object
I saw a login that was in the sysadmin role and shouldn't have been. When I
went to the database access tab under properties for the login, each database
had "dbo" in the user column. I couldn't change it so I removed the login and
added him back.
After being sure the login had only datareader rights, when I tried to save
the new login I got an error "the login already has an account under a
different user name". When I clicked ok I got an error "Cannot drop the
database owner". I'm in a loop and can't get out of EM.
How do I fix it?

Hi Dan
Please read about logins and users in the Books Online. It seems you have
some confusion about those topics.
Per your subject, there is no such thing as the 'dbo of an object'.
DBO is a user name that exists in every database and can not be removed. Any
one who is in the sysadmin role uses the user name dbo in every database.
There will also be some login name who is the true owner of the database,
and that person also will use the user name dbo.
When you are trying to add this login back, what user name are you giving
him?
To see what databases this login has access to, use Query Analyzer (not EM)
and run sp_helplogin for this login. Let us know what you get back.

How to reduce white space when object is hidden?
The report is made of one list containing 2 tables, one below each other.
Depending on the report parameters, the bottom table is made visible or
hidden.
When that table is hidden at run time, RS still reserves the same amount of
white space that the table takes in the report design layout.
This causes RS to render an extra white page at the end of the report where
it would display the table. Since the table is hidden, nothing is displayed
in this extra white page.
Does anyone know a workaround that would prevent the white page at the end
of the report?Hi Pat,
Thanks for your post.
From your descriptions, I understood the report will reserve some the
space for that hidden table when there is two tables in the Report. If I
have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.
I have tested on my side but it seems RS won't reserve the place for hidden
objects. Would you please show me a sample with AdventureWorks, with which
I could reproduce it on my side?

Thanks for your patience.
If you set the visibility like this:
<Visibility>
<Hidden>true</Hidden>
</Visibility>
This means that the table is always hidden. The space is preserved for
always hidden items. If you changed visibility according to Expression, it
will not reduce the white space.
However, I have tested the scenario that both table are contained in one
list as you described. It will do leave the blank and I am afraid currently
we cannot eliminate this behavior.

How to raise error in script
I can't believe I can't find this in books online...
I have a transformation script component and I have a case where I want the object to completely fail if it is encountered. How do I code that? All my searching BOL could find is how to redirect rows to an error output which is not what I need in this case.... I'd think it would be something simple like Me.RaiseError("Something really bad happened") but I haven't found it ...
Chris,
A simple example from books online to raise an error in the Script Component is:
Dim myMetadata as IDTSComponentMetaData90
myMetaData = Me.ComponentMetaData
myMetaData.FireError(...)
Further details can be found on the Raising Events in the Script Component page at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337081.aspx.
Thanks,
Patrik
|||One thing to note that I have found with this method is that it doesn't immediately error..
For example lets say you have a buffer (in a dataflow) containing 1000 rows. In my experience, if you code a FireError when it encounters null it will not exit the object on the first instance but continue with the whole buffer - then your dtslog will be filled with 1000 errors (if indeed each row of the 1000 had a null). Just something to keep in mind.
|||Throw an exception to simulate the Fail Component disposition. This action will cause the transformation script component to immediately fail.
ComponentMetadata's FireError, as you noted, will not cause immediate failure, but rather, form a basis for comparison with the data flow's MaximumErrorCount (which may be useful in other cases)
|||"Throw an exception to simulate the Fail Component disposition. This action will cause the transformation script component to immediately fail."
Thanks, Can you provide an example or a pointer to where to look in books online?
|||From BOL, please use the following example.
Using Error Outputs in a Data Flow Component
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/dtsref9/html/a2a3e7c8-1de2-45b3-97fb-60415d3b0934.htm
First off, to establish the relevance of the above BOL link related to data flow component error outputs, recall that a script component (actually a script component host) is just another type of custom pipeline component. A ScriptComponentHost derives from PipelineComponent. PipelineComponent is the base class used when writing pipeline components. The ScriptComponentHost provides services to the auto-generated classes known as the "Script Component".
Anyway, in the BOL reference example, the FailComponent disposition is emulated by throwing an exception. Furthermore, Kirk Haselden, who I consider an authority on the subject of SSIS, states something similar in https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=601735&SiteID=1.
As far as script component example, say, for the sake of a simple example, you are adding non-negative numbers, the sum of which cannot exceeed 42. At some point, the sum exceeds 42. You can keep adding and calling Dts.FireError() repeatedly, indicating the sum is logically impossible in your event message. Instead, to immediately fail the component, the solution is to call Dts.FireError() once with the appropriate error message, and then throw an exception to fail the component.
|||
Thanks jaegd for the above.
I have followed your advice of the FireError() then 'throw new exception'
However if one has an OnError event (as I do) to send an email of the error description, then no less 4 messages are sent:
1. The FireError error
2. A result of the exception -"System.Exception"
3 A result of the exception "The ProcessInput method on component: " (something to do with a lookup transform up-line)
4.Another result of the exception "Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0x"
So how does one allow the FireError OnError to execute but suppress the other spurious events?
Thanks
|||Put a test in front of your email task to decide what gets sent. Then the recipient receives a single email from an error event cascade.For one, suppress the errors 3 ("The process InputMethod on component"), and 4 ("Thread "WorkThread0" has exited...) via an expression based precedence constraint to your Send Mail task. The specific Error Codes are accessible in the handler upon which a suppression decision can be made.
That leaves you with two errors, which are both more relevant to why the data flow was halted. You can dispense with with FireError call, and just use the exception, leaving a single email.|||
Thanks
Of course this is only usefull if you know in advance what the extraneous error messages are going to be in all cases. So I don't consider that to be an elegant solution. If I knew why multiple error messages where generated for only the one error then I might have a chance at obtaining a better solution. Also access to a system variable such as ErrorCount would be usefull too. Nevermind, I'll attack this in a similar manner to what you have suggested (instead of the message I'll go off the error code).

The ScriptComponentHost provides services to the auto-generated classes known as the "Script Component".
Anyway, in the BOL reference example, the FailComponent disposition is emulated by throwing an exception. Furthermore, Kirk Haselden, who I consider an authority on the subject of SSIS, states something similar in https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=601735&SiteID=1.
As far as script component example, say, for the sake of a simple example, you are adding non-negative numbers, the sum of which cannot exceeed 42. At some point, the sum exceeds 42. You can keep adding and calling Dts.FireError() repeatedly, indicating the sum is logically impossible in your event message. Instead, to immediately fail the component, the solution is to call Dts.FireError() once with the appropriate error message, and then throw an exception to fail the component.

Thanks jaegd for the above.
I have followed your advice of the FireError() then 'throw new exception'
However if one has an OnError event (as I do) to send an email of the error description, then no less 4 messages are sent:
1. The FireError error
2. A result of the exception -"System.Exception"
3 A result of the exception "The ProcessInput method on component: " (something to do with a lookup transform up-line)
4.Another result of the exception "Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0x"
So how does one allow the FireError OnError to execute but suppress the other spurious events?
Thanks
|||Put a test in front of your email task to decide what gets sent. Then the recipient receives a single email from an error event cascade.For one, suppress the errors 3 ("The process InputMethod on component"), and 4 ("Thread "WorkThread0" has exited...) via an expression based precedence constraint to your Send Mail task. The specific Error Codes are accessible in the handler upon which a suppression decision can be made.
That leaves you with two errors, which are both more relevant to why the data flow was halted. You can dispense with with FireError call, and just use the exception, leaving a single email.|||
Thanks
Of course this is only usefull if you know in advance what the extraneous error messages are going to be in all cases. So I don't consider that to be an elegant solution. If I knew why multiple error messages where generated for only the one error then I might have a chance at obtaining a better solution. Also access to a system variable such as ErrorCount would be usefull too. Nevermind, I'll attack this in a similar manner to what you have suggested (instead of the message I'll go off the error code).

How to query a view from the master DB?
Is there a way to access your views in x database from the master database?
I'm getting this error
Invalid object name 'v_StatisticsScalars'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'v_StatisticsScalars'.Use the fully qualified path <database>.<owner>.<view
Or you can use "use"|||cant use USE in stored procedures can you?
im using system stored procedures.....and i thought the context stayed at the database calling the system stored procedure? am i wrong?|||i really dont want to use x.y.z because im using these stored procedures for a few different sites. it would be good if i could add the view to the master database. can that be done? i tried....but then it says my tables dont exist. :/ -so now im back at square1|||Now I'm confused too. I understand that you're relucant to use the fully qualified path. I don't understand what you mean by "I'm using system stored procedures". You can create a view to access other database table but we're back to using the fully qualified path again! If the database was on a different server (or server instance) you could setup a linked server. Apart from that I think you're stuck. Well you could construct some dynamic sql and exec that to get around the 'different sites' issue. In fact just have a util prog that generates the procs/views based upon the database names you want to use.
