I'm attempting to do a code first migration to turn on file streaming so that it doesn't have to be done manually.
I can of course configure file streaming at a database level (although I can't set the setting on the service...)
But I need to execute something like this
ALTER DATABASE DBNAME
ADD FILEGROUP FILESTREAMGroupName
CONTAINS FILESTREAM
So I need to get the name of the database that I'm working from.
Once I can get that then I can figure out the path to the main MDF by looking up the files and then set the path for the file stream group as my next command, but I just cannot figure out how to get the Database Name while in the DbMigration.
Ideas?
If you are using MSSQL2012 you can use
ALTER DATABASE CURRENT
Colin's comment about being a dupe is correct. The easiest way to do this is to use db_name() in your script.

I am copying data from sql to adls dynamically, i want to rename the file name after copied into ADLS. How to achieve it? Requesting you suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ashok
My first question would be "why bother renaming parquet files?" Hopefully you aren't generating a single parquet file, which would seem to defeat the purpose of using Parquet. Instead, my focus would be on the folder name.
OPTION 1
If I did care about the file names, I would use Data Flow and configure the Sink to use patterned naming:
You could then pass the desired file name in as Data Flow Parameter:
And set it dynamically using an expression:
[NOTE: I haven't tested this syntax, but I recommend you always use the Expression Builder to enter these expressions].
OPTION 2
If none of that suits your purposes, then aonther option would be brute force. Use a COPY activity with binary data sets to copy the file to a new file with the desired name, then a DELETE activity to remove the old one.
I have a problem in dealing with SAS Enterprise Guide that runs on the server of my client.
I do not have access to the libraries so, in order to use the datasets the only thing we can do is to store them on the local disk C: of the computer and drag them to SAS.
We can not create libraries because the server does not read local paths.
Once you drag a table, let's call it "mydata" in SAS, the table is automatically renamed "mydata9865" with random numbers at the end and "mydata" is its label.
If you right-click the table and go to properties, you can't find the name of the table, just the label.
The only way I found to check the real name of the dataset is to open the Query Builder and check the name in the code preview.
The problem is that I am dealing with tables of millions of records and the machine I am using is very slow, so whenever I want to open the Query Building, just to check the table's name, it takes sometimes even an hour.
I am not a SAS expert, so I am sure there is a smarter way to do so. Is it possible for instance to use the table by calling it with its label?
data mydata2;
set mydata;
run;
instead of
set mydata9865?
Or is there some place I can rapidly check the name of the table without going through the query builder?
I tried to google it but I can't find anything, I hope someone will be able to help me!
Thank you in advance
Hover the mouse pointer over a data node to see it's attributes. The data set name is the File name: value.
For example:
In this example I had renamed the nodes created by two different queries to be the same (doable:yes, smart:maybe not). NOTE: A data node Label: is not necessarily the same as it's underlying data set's label metadata.
Regarding
use the table by calling it with its label?
Two nodes can have the same label, and is a a situation that defeats this approach.
Use the COPY task to upload your data explicitly. It sounds like you're not adding your data to the projects properly so SAS automatically assigns a name, rather than if you explicitly import or load your data.
Problem solved! I should have simply upload the data to the server with Tasks->Data->Upload Data Sets to Server but I didn't know this task so I didn't know it was possible to do it at all!

Scenario: A computed property needs to available for RAW methods. The IsComputed property set in the model will not work as its value will not be available to RAW methods.
Attempted Solution: Create a computed column directly on the SQL table as opposed to setting the IsComputed property in the model. Specify that CodefluentEntities not overwrite the computed column. I would than expect the BOM to read the computed SQL field no differently than if it was a normal database field.
Problem: I can't figure out how to prevent Codefluent Entities from overwriting the computed column. I attempted to use the production flags as well as setting produce="false" for the property in the .cfp. Neither worked.
Question: Is it possible to prevent Codefluent Entities from overwriting my computed column and if so, how?
The solution youre looking for is here
You can execute whatever custom T-SQL scripts you like, the only premise is to give the script a specific name so the Producer knows when to execute it.
i.e. if you want your custom script to execute after the tables are generated, name your script
after_[ProjectName]_tables.
Save your custom t-sql file alongside the codefluent generated files and build the project.
In my specific case, i had to enable full-text index in one of my table columns, i wrote the SQL script for the functionality, saved it as
`after_[ProjectName]_relations_add`
Heres how they look in my file directory
file directory
Alternate Solution: An alternate solution is to execute the following the TSQL script after the SQL Producer finishes generating.
ALTER TABLE PunchCard DROP COLUMN PunchCard_CompanyCodeCalculated
GO
ALTER TABLE PunchCard
ADD PunchCard_CompanyCodeCalculated AS CASE
WHEN PunchCard_CompanyCodeAdjusted IS NOT NULL THEN PunchCard_CompanyCodeAdjusted
ELSE PunchCard_CompanyCode
END
GO
Additional Configuration Needed to Make Solution Work: In order for this solution to work one must also configure the BOM so that it does not attempt to save the data associated with the computed columns. This can be done through Model using the advanced properties. In my case I selected the CompanyCodeCalculated property. Went to advanced settings. And set the Save setting to False.
Question: Somewhere in the Knowledge Center there is a passing reference on how to automate the execution SQL Scripts after the SQL Producer finishes but I can not find it. Anybody now how this is done?
Post Usage Comments: Just wanted to let people know I implemented this approach and am so far happy with the results.
I'm looking for a way to create a new csv file each time the job is triggered. Every time the job is triggered it needs to create a new file like DataProject"projectnumber".csv in a certain folder (always the same folder)
But I cannot found the way to accomplish this.
Currently my approach is to store everything in a sql table and create the file from there but I'm actually looking for a way to do it from Scribe.
I don't think that this can be done in Scribe Insight.
I've done something similar where I've used Scribe to create the file, and then some VBScript to rename it.

Is it possible to set a database role before running a report? I have a number of databases each containing a number of schemas with the same set of tables, where each schema has a number of roles to control read, write, data management and so on. None of these are default roles.
In sqlplus or TOAD I can do SET ROLE , before running a select statement. I would like to do the same in BIRT.
It may be possible to do this using the afterOpen event for the ODA Data Source, but I have not found any examples on how to get and use the native connection in JavaScript.
I am not allowed to add or change anything on the server end.
You can make an additional call to the database in the afterOpen method of the Data Source using Java. You can use JavaScript or a Java Event Handler to execute the SET ROLE statement, or to call a stored procedure that will execute it for you. This happens after the initial db connection is made, but before the Data Set query runs. It will be a little tricky to use the data source connection to make that call however, and I don't have the code right now to provide as an example.
Another way is to create a stored proc Data Set that will execute the desired command, and have that execute first. Drag and drop the Data Set into the report design, and make it invisible. It will run first before any other queries. Not the cleanest solution, but easy to do
Hope that helps

You can write a login trigger and do a set role in this trigger ( PL/SQL: DBMS_SESSION.SET_ROLE). You can determine the username, osuser, program and machine of the user who want to log in.
The approach to use a stored procedure for setting the role won't work - at least not on Apache Derby. Reason: lifetime of the set role is limited to the execution of the procedure itself - after returning from the procedure the role will be the same as before the procedure has been called, i.e. for executing the report the same as no role would have ever been set.
