Adding 2 text fields together
record text?
Thanks In Advance,
MPMYou'll need to create a trigger. An example might be:
CREATE TRIGGER SetFullName ON Customers
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
Not for replication
AS
/* set fullname for Customers */
update Customers
set Customers.FullName = inserted.[FirstName] + ' ' +
inserted.[Surname]
from inserted
where Customers.CustomerID = inserted.CustomerID

Add template to Report Builder
Is it possible to customize or add new templates to Report Builder?
Thanks in Advance,
MoptheThe SQL Server 2005 release will not support this functionality.
This feature request is on our wish list for inclusion in a future release.

add and subract time to a date
Lets say I have the current date and I would like to get the date
two weeks in advance. How would I do this in T-sql? The T-SQL should
take into account if the month changes. For example, if todays date
is 1/17/2003 the advanced date would be 2/17/2003.
Thanks,
BillyYou can use DATEADD function to accomplish this. Refer to SQL Server Books
Online for more details. For example :
SELECT DATEADD(m, 1, '20030117') ;

Ad: Problems Creating Instance in SQL 2005 management studio
Hello all,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I am having a problem creating a new NS instance using SQL 2005 management studio.
I am using the database element in my instance and application xml files like this,
in order to create the NS application in an existing database.
<Database>
<DatabaseName>%databasename%</DatabaseName>
<SchemaName>%schemaname%</SchemaName>
</Database>
the problem that I am having is that if I encounter an error somewhere in the process of creating this new instance the instance name and schema name I specified are still bound somewhere, and if I correct for the error and try to create the instance again, I receive a new error saying that there is already an instance with my instance name, or using the schema name.
If I try to list versions it tells me there are no instances, yet if I try to add a new instance it tells me there is already an instance using my instance name.
I have tried searching master database tables and views for anywhere where it might be stored, also tried poking around most of management studio and the registry, and just can not seem to find where it is remembering that I had tried to create this instance before.
It is like it is partially creating the instance, running into an error, and then not rolling back its changes somewhere.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi Derek -
SQLNS 2005 stores its metadata in the MSDB database. Run this script in SSMS and see if your failed instance/application are listed.
USE MSDB
GO
SELECT*FROM NS90.NSInstanceInfo
SELECT*FROM NS90.NSApplicationInfo
HTH..

|||Thanks Joe,
I did find the instance names and schema names that it had "eaten" in there. cleared them and was able to install with the instance name I wanted.
Thanks for your help!
