I have a content site where everything is currently in one SQL Server
DB. As I add features to the site, for example message boards and
blogging, does it make sense to put those features in a separate
database? What would I lose and gain in doing so? Thanks so much.

Are they're any real disadvantages or advantages in having 1 massive disk partioned to create 2 logical drives (not including the C drive) and separating the SQL Database File & Transaction Log so that it doesnt reside on the same logical drive?
After all, it is still a single disk.
thanks.
Please reply me as soon as possible.

it's quite hard to find informations about OLAP mining I think. So I have some questions to you:
What advantages do I have by using Olap Mining instead of "normal" mining (relational databases)?
Is it just faster or are there other advantages?
What are the disadvantages? The data can be overaggregated (no detailled results), can not? Are there other disadvantages?
What problem do I have to face?
Whats going on with empty cells?
Thank you very much in advance and have a nice weekend.

What is the advantages/disadvantages of using Database Diagram and link all the tables in MS SQL Server Management Studio versus letting the application check and link the different tables at run time? Currently, I do not have all my tables linked in a Database Diagram. I do everything at run time in my application code behind. What are the best practices? Which is easier or perhaps more secure?

hi,
i am thinking of using autonumber in my table which is more likely to grow over time. but i am also concerned that what if the records get too much? is there is any other fields to use instead of autonumber? is uniqueidentifier a better option? i have a bit of discussion with my colleague about this matter.
any help is appreciated

I'm about to use uniqueidentifier and NEWID() for my new DB,
The DB may grow wild and I want to super safely create connections between tables,
so it would not just rely on numbers (that can B changed) as used with IDENTITY...

Should I take any special steps when using index on it ?
I have a hosted solution where the web host provider tells me I'm running on a 2005 platform, but when I check the DB options, it shows compatibility level 80. The provider tells me I'm not losing any performance by running in the lower compatibility mode. Is this truly the case? What else am I losing out on in terms of features or capabilities?

hi ! my boss is thinking of redoing our accounting system which is currently running on FOXPRO - we are planning on a VB/SQL SERVER platform.but he isn't convinced that the benefits of SQL server outweigh those offered by FOXPRO especially since everyone in the office is very comfortable with Foxpro.Can anyone give me some solid advantages of SQL SErver or any other RDBMS over Foxpro ?
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
If I have an application that has at most 20 users with an average of 3-4 concurrent requests to the server and the databases size is 1 gig probably to grow to at most 1.5 gigs in the next 5 years why would I choose Express over MSDE?
MSDE can take advantage of more than 1 gig of memory and can use 2 CPUs. I really don't see any benefit whatsoever in my case to go to SQL Express, in fact all I see is drawbacks.
I hear about upgrading all over the place but I just don't see any good reason in my situation. Am I missing something here?
This may be too general a question but I'm going to ask it anyway.
I'm moving data from a source DB (say A) to a target DB (say B). On A I need to join 3 tables and, after some lookups etc., I need to populate several tables in B. Inserting into B's tables involves sequential operations because in many cases I have to get back the value of an Identity column to use as in input value in a another table 'downstream'. Additionally, the tables in B are populated as a group i.e. if the insert on any one fails the entire group's insertion needs to be rolled back.
I set up a set of stored procedures to do this. The master Stored Proc opens a read-only cursor and for each row of the cursor executes the other SPs in proper sequence. Some of the SPs are 'enclosed' within a transaction to enable a Rollback on the group.
My major concern with this approach was the 'known' inefficiency of the cursor and the huge memory requirement it's use would entail (the cursor would pull about 15 million rows).
So I began looking into SSIS thinking it would be able manage the system resources aspect effectively and offer better performance overall. I've realized, however, that even in SSIS I would essentially need to first pull the 14 mil rows into a memory-resident object (or a temp table - whose benefit I'm not convinced of or haven't fully understood) before looping through each row to perform the data inserts into B.
So, is there any real advantage to this over the first approach ? Perhaps I haven't looked deep enough or wide enough. Any constructive suggestions / feedback would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi to all, Can anybody tell me what are the main advantage's of sql server 2005 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Generally I write all my SQL in Stored Procedures instead of using adhoc queries. But I dont feel good about stored procedures when I come across situations like this.
Lets say that I have a stored procedure something like this
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.proc_MYSP
@CaseID char(10)
AS
SELECT * FROM TABLE1WHERE CASEID = @CASEID
Suppose in future if the field CASEID is changed to char(20) then I need to change the declaration of CaseID in all my stored procedures that take CaseID as input parameter. If I write adhoc queries then I need not worry about this. Is there any effective solution for a situation like this.
Thank you.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to evaluate the pros and cons of using SQL Server over oledb connection to an access database.
So far
Pros Cons
Access: Doesnt need to be installed by user. 2GB Data limit
SQLExpress:
Not sure yet - more than 2gb data User has to install SQL Server compact.
Is there anything iv missed?
Iv run a quick test to decide on speed my results seem to suggest that oledb is faster at writing data, and SQL Server is faster at reading.
The test program clears the database:
and times how long it takes to insert 10000 records, the read the 10000 records back for OLEDB, then SQL Express.

Hi everyone,
When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered ??
In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it ??
Thanks
I am wondering what the advantages of using CRL Sprocs over T-SQL sprocs and what not.
Looking for such comparison and articles on websites resulted in only "how to create CRL sprocs" but none of them were talking about what they are used for in what situations.
I would really appreciate it if you guys can post comments, links and external articles.
Thank you in advance.
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks
