Changing port numbers

On an active/active cluster what is the proper way of changing the port # on
the named instance after an install is complete and in use.
Use the Server Network Utility to assign a new port number. The utility is
not cluster-aware so make the changes on all nodes in the cluster
individually. SQL server requires a service stop-start to change port
numbers.

Changing date to string of numbers

I basic question but can someone help.

I have a SELECT statement, the result of which populates adatagrid. The first column has consecutive dates in it and I wantto hyperlink each date to a seperate Javascript function (theJavascript is created on the fly and is unique for each date). Ineed a different function name for each function and so tried the datebut "/" is not allowed in the Javasript function name. I thinkthe easiest way will be to produce a new column with the date expressesddmmyyyy, ddmmyy or some such unique number (but not dd/mm/yyyy). I tried :-

"CASE " & _
"WHEN t3.date = t3.date THEN (DAY(t3.Date) + MONTH(t3.Date) + YEAR(t3.Date)) ELSE NULL END AS [javaKey]

but this adds the year to the month to the day - not a unique result as 1/2/06 and 2/1/06 are the same.

I am just getting to grips with VB.Net (as an amature) but am a distinct beginner at SQL!

Many thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

You can use the ISO format in this place:

CONVERT(NCHAR(8), [Date], 112)AS newDate

the date format will be yyyymmdd.

You can always check CONVERT DATE function from Books Online to convert your date.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks. Your reply is just what I need. It works great.

I am sorry that could not figure it out for myself. I do usebooks on line and I have "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 A Beginner'sGuide" (which I got before I realise my server uses 2000!) and "SAMSTeach Yourself SQL 24 Hours". I started off learning VB.net butas my project goes on, rather than feeling that I am becoming competentat producing the web pages I want, I seem require more and moreknowledge (like SQL, JavaScript & CSS). Sometimes I feel I amgetting there, the next minute feel totally inadequate!! I strive tolearn, and in the meantime I really do appreciate the help of peoplelike yourself.

Many many thanks for your time and patience.

Regards

Mike
