Common Table Expression (CTE) with a View in SQL Server 2005/8

You cannot use Common Table Expression directly inside a View with SQL Server 2005/8  but you can use an inline table function to wrap the CTE returned as table. You can call the function inside the view as you would with a table.

Here is the sample code with my early recusive CTE sample;

Step 1 to create the function:

 

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[mytableFunction1]

()

RETURNS TABLE

AS

RETURN

(

with mycte as

(

SELECT 1 as i, CHar(ascii('A')) as myletter

UNION ALL

select i+1 , Char(ascii('A')+i) FROM mycte WHERE i<26

)

SELECT * FROM mycte

)

Step 2 to create the view:

CREATE VIEW [dbo].[View_CTE]

AS

SELECT i, myletter    FROM dbo.mytableFunction1() AS mytableFunction1_1


Edit: Thanks to James for pointing the error from the posting.

Get today’s or yesterday’s record with T-SQL

You can use DATEADD and DATEDIFF functions to get the start and end time of a particular day. You can compare your datetime column value with the start and end time and retrieve all records within the range.

Here is the code snippet:


 
 SELECT DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE())-1,0) as StartOfYesterday   
 SELECT DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0) as StartOftheday  
SELECT DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE())+1,0) as StartOfNextday  
 
--Yesterday’s data 
 
…WHERE mydate >=DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE())-1,0) 
AND mydate < DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0) 
 
--*****Today’s data 
…WHERE mydate >=DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0) 
AND mydate < DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE())+1,0)

--Or
…WHERE mydate >=floor(cast(getdate() as float))
AND mydate < ceiling (cast(getdate() as float))

Problem with Using SQL Server Express user instancing under IIS

 
There is a security setting issue needs to be addressed if you want to run your web application which is created under your default document structure. For example, quoted from Microsoft: "c:\Users\[YourUserAccountName]\Documents\Visual Studio 20XX\Projects\[YourSolutionName]\[YourProjectnName]\App_Data\aspnetdb.mdf failed".
Just a quick note to the detailed document from Microsoft for resolving issues related to work with SQL Server Express instance for websites hosted under IIS6/IIS7/IIS7.5.
 
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2002980
 
The document provided detailed instructions to resolve the issue.

Schedule backups for SQL Server 2005 Express databases

I have to implement a solution to back up a SQL Server 2005 express database for a project. Here is a detailed step by step instruction to do this.
Create a stored prodedure in Master database to do the backup; create a .sql file to define which database to  backup; use window scheduler (Scheduled Tasks ) to schedule the backup  re-occurring times. Here is the link with the details: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1174
