We have a customer, call them customerA
CustomerA has just employed a new Chief Information Officer.
The New CIO would like to make a few changes to the current way we have things right now.
Bare with me as I explain our environment.
We have The following Servers
Application Server[FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID]
Database Server [FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID)]
Both the above servers sit in a fully fault tolerant environment with daily backups power generators etc etc etc.1000MB network everything work 100%
Now my question:
The new CIO would like to move the DB server out of this environment to a remote building downtown, and have the application server connect to this remote db server.
Is this advisable?
What are the required connection speeds, so that the end user does not have to wait for a response?
What is the recommended response time IIS should give?
Please also note that we are in South Africa and broadband is VERY expensive / unreliable.
The CIO would like to install a 2Mbit radio link from this building to the ISP I’m not sure on the cost, but do know that this type of link is very unstable,
Their failover will be a 512kb fixed line or diginet line. Cost about ZAR 8000.00 per month
The application is extremely data / graphs intensive as it contain property information.
I think they average about 16000 visitors daily, not a lot.
If anyone can give me any input i would appreciated.
I am setting up P2P replication for a high latency environment (although at 100MBit per sec, the bandwidth is not a serious issue ).
I have noticed that at high load, the bandwidth between Distribution and Subscriber servers maxes out at 1MBit per second (our network bandwidth is 100MBit per second).
This causes transactions to 'back up' and when the load reduces they 'catch up' and synchronise.
Does anyone know where this limitation of 1Mbs is being enforced and what is the way round it?
I have seen the -SubscriptionStreams NN parameter, but this is not applicable in P2P replication.
I have scenerio that find out the Bandwitdh size between clint and server. I wanted find out howmuch size of data recieveing from server at a time. Any advice regarding this. Thanks, Ravi
I am building a SQL server on a Windows 2000 Server box. It has a public IP and we have 4 T1 lines. After I install SQL 2000 it will run for about 30 minutes and then it will take up all the bandwidth on the network to such a degree that my users are unable to access the internet. I have been troubleshooting this over the last couple of days. This morning I reinstalled SQL with just the default DB's and after 45 mins it brought the network down again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
HiI have two SQL2000 servers in different sites, once a day approximately1M of data in the form of a large update is required to be transferedbetween the 2. We have use of a 2M pipe between the servers but thereis no quality of service, the other users on the pipe are traders sothere must be no interruption in the quality of their bandwidth at anytime.Is there any way of throttling back the data transfer between the twoservers to restrict its bandwidth use. Obviously we want to retain themax bandwidth on our local network.The pipe is administered by a seperate company so we do not have adminaccess to their gateways, routers etc.. so a solution which we canimplement on our database servers would be the easiest.I am not sure if this is the right newsgroup for this but anyinformation would be greatThanksMark
Does anyone know a wayto compress data between two database connections over "low bandwidth" lines in order to speedup datatransfer? Used connections are Oracle<->SQL2000 and SQL2000<->SQL2000.
I am evaluating the possibility of replicating a database over a network to our HQ from the control site (one way). The original database is on SQL server.
The database is likely to grow to many terabytes so we would be using transactional replication.
The table to be replicated recieves about 500 records per second. The table will probably consist of a record key (8 byte int), site ID (4 byte int), reading (8-byte float), and timestamp (8 byte timestamp). All up, 28 bytes + whatever overhead exists.
MINOR DETAIL: The HQ's copy should be preferably no more than 1 hour behind the control site's. This would be a long-term setup that would last for many years. Our link is currently about 2 MB/s, and is fairly reliable.
QUESTIONS: I'm guessing that (bytes/record)*(records/second) won't be the whole story. Does anyone have an estimate of the average data efficiency factor for transactional replication? How would I go about calculating how much bandwidth would be needed? Is there a formulae hiding somewhere?
One of the new tests that we are running have to do with load testing an application with a constrained network pipe. I like this. One of my beefs has been related to stored procedures that return bloated result sets. This new set of tests potentially gives me some more amunition to use when I review stored procedures. A piece that I would like to produce as a result of this has to do with establishing an output bandwidth standard for our database servers. I have a few biased ideas but I would like to know if any of you have any similar pre-existing standards along this line. Any help?
Hi, for SQL 2005 - to set up database mirroring, is it required to have Active Directory installed or to be part of a domain? I am looking to use a workgroup with the SQL machines only and to not reference any domain and cannot find this information - is this possible?
For example if I have a winform with a textbox and search button. If I type in ABCD1234. I won't know what the data is coming into the X Table. So there will be hundreds of description data in the description field in X table.
So in the X Table, there are ABCD1234,ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
But I will only pick this 'ABCD1234' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same description. It needs to pick also ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
If also type in 5678, in another column like code in X Table. It would have 005678,05678,56780. But I will only pick this '5678' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same code. It needs to pick also 005678,05678,56780
I have tried LIKE, FREETEXT and CONTAINS.
But another idea is a table of alternate descriptions for those that you know about and look those up and search for them all. But how can that be done?
I thought it was but I just now installed it on a box without IIS. I gather IIS is not a requried component. I noticed only Reporting Services Requires it so I am hoping that installing IIS and then add Reporting Services Component later will not cause configuration problems.
Hi Everyone, I m using ASP.NET 2005 with C# and SQL SERVER 2005. I m using stored procedure and sql datasource control to retrieve the data. I want to use the trigger alongwith storedprocedure.

I was in the phase of switching over to Sql Server Reporting from the normal reports. I plan to go with the SQL server 2005 standard version. Do i need visual studio 2005 to design and deploy report. If I am using only SQL server standard alone for my reporting and publishing, is it possible to assign the user rights to reports, user can just login and can view all the reports that belongs to that user. Since I wont be using the visual Studio 2005, so I want to implement this using the SQL server 2005. So pls help me with your kind information how to proceed ahead.
Hi I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------ Any ideas about why is this happening??? Umer
In SQL 2000, a guest user can access any system tables in a database, but it looks not the same in SQL 2005. What even worse is the SQL security handles it in a confused way. When I sign on as sa and run:
SELECT * FROM sys.sysreferences
Of course I get what I want. While, if I sign on as a user only has guest privilege, I get nothing. Based on my understanding, if one does not have permission to SELECT, he should get rejucted error message. Otherwise, he should get return data. Now, SQL 2005 does not give any.
More interesting thing is when select * from sys.sysobjects, SQL 2005 return data to both sa user and user with guest privilege. Did MS applied different security on different sys.sys.. table? When a select return nothing, how can we know if there is no data at all, or the user does not have sufficient privilege.
What are the minimum permissions required by the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (UA)? I could not find it in the documentation.
Obviously being a local Administrators Windows group and a member of sysadmin SQL Server role will do the trick.
But will being a member of only the sysadmin SQL Server role be enough? I know that the UA does want to read the registry.
Running it under just sysadmin generates the following type of errors:
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. WINSOCKPROXY
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTUNSIGNEDCOMPONENTS
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. NETPROTOCOL
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTMULTIPLEINSTANCES
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. INVALIDNAMEDPIPE
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTCOMPONENTREG
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTACCTPASS
The issue then is whether these are significant or not. If the UA is only reading the registry to determine if SSAS, DTS, etc is installed then that is not important. But if it is affecting the end result because it cannot read critical information from the registry that is another matter.
I have DBA that is convinced that they need domain admin rights to install SQL 2005 into an existing cluster. The domain groups and service accounts for SQL have been created already. Is having domain admin rights required during the install of SQL 2005 in a cluster?
I have tried to install Outlook 2007 with BCM and recieve the error listed above. I have also included a copy of my log file. Any suggestions?

I have developed a database in MS SQL Server 2005 Express, to which I would require only bulkadmin server role from an external java application, because I only need to update rows, insert values or use select queries in the database.
The problem is that, using either the Microsoft JDBC Driver 1.1 or the Java JDBC ODBC Driver and the Windows XP Data Base (ODBC) configurations, I need a user with sysadmin server role inside Sql Server, otherwise JDBC won't connect to the database using the selected user. Even if I leave the sql login with setupadmin or any server role lower than sysadmin, the connection is refused.
Is there no way to connect using JDBC to MS Sql Server 2005 other than granting the connected user sysadmin rights? My code looks as follows:
Class.forName(driver); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password); if (conn != null) System.out.println("SQL Server Connection established ...");
I have heard that Java JDBC connections to Microsoft require high-level access.
Any informed answer is more than welcome. Thanks for reading my post!
My web project (ASP.NET 2.0 / C#) runs against sql server 2000 and uses the System.Data.SqlClient.using System.Data.SqlClient; I use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection and System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand to make the connections to the database and do selects and updates. Is it correct to continue to use these against SQL Server 2005? I ask because I made a connection string (outside of .Net) for SqlServer 2005 using the SQL native provider and it had the following - Provider=SQLNCLI.1 and any connection strings I had made (also outside of ASP.NET) fro SQL Server all used Provider=SQLOLEDB.1. This is why I wondered if there is a different SqlClient in .Net 2.0 for SQL Server 2005? Cheers Al
I have recently purchased SQL server 2005 for a new install of bespoke software - I have however just been told that it only runs on SQL server 2000 at the moment - is there a way I can install sql 2000 server from the 2005 cd? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi allI am creating a web services application in Visual Studio Dot netwhich links to a MS SQL database.I need to create a form which lets the user pick his field ofchoice(doesnt matter what it is..) using drop down boxes,radio buttonsetc and query the database according to what he has picked andretrieve only those columns and rows.The thing is, I do not want to hardcode the queries usingOleDbDataAdapter or SqlDataAdapter, but want the query to be generatedon the fly, once the user picks his fields from the form.I'd greatly appreciate any help.Thanks,m
