Jul 21, 2004Hi folks, ya all are just fine i hope.
I've a question regarding indexes.
I've a table that is very often updated. My boss asked me to keep a log of each record when the table is updated. I've created an AFTER UPDATE trigger on the table and throw the old record into a log table on each update. The table would get large earlier. I want the updates on the original table fast, so i don't wanna add any kind of indexes on the log table. The log table will be scarcely queried only if the user has made a mistake and we want the old record back.
Now, i've column named event(DATETIME) log table that records CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. Should i create a clustered index on this column so the records get in sequence (the values in the column will be unique due to time and seconds being stored). I could be able to access records fastly in the log table on the basis of EVENT column. But how much it would cost the updates on the original table??
My major concern is to keep the updates on original table fast while logging the old records.
Usually it's said not to created indexes on date fields. Do i need to create non-clustered index or i am following the correct path.
Any tips and guidlines; highly appreciated.
Howdy!
Best Practice Guidelines
Jun 28, 2006Hi All,
We have an application requirement for a database supporting field service engineers, which calls for a central SQL Server databse, and laptops with the same database replicated onto SQL Express. I'm resposible for designing the database for this, physical and logical. I've designed and built many a database, but never had to use replication before.
I've read through BOL, and understand how the merge replication process works, and I have no problem designing the database assuming it were to run on a single server.
What I am trying to find are whitepapers, or equivalent, on "best design and implementation practice", and especialy common mistakes to avoid.
I know that the windows programmers responsible for the UI will not completely abstract the database from the code (no matter how desirable that is or how often I tell them!), and I really don't want to find I have to change the physical tables or replication logic after they've coded most of the UI .
Many thanks in advance

SqlCeConnection Guidelines - Keep It Open?
Feb 16, 2006What is exactly the recommended way of using a SqlCeConnection object in your application?
In all the examples I see (IBuySpyDelivery for example) it opens the connection object in the constructor and leaves it open most of the time until the class gets disposed.
Is that the way to do it? Or should you open and close the connection for each database action (insert/select/delete) you're doing on the local SQL Mobile database?
I'm a bit confused, but maybe I'm messing up the way of working on remote database servers with how it should be done on a local SQL Mobile db.
NSTL Guidelines For Motorola Q
Jan 3, 2007
Hello all,
We have some doubts regarding NSTL guidelines for motorola Q. Our application is managed application. Which ocasionally connects to server. It is very helpful if we can get answers urgently.
Hopper Test How can we make it run on Smartphone 5.0 (Motorola Q)? Is this tool only applicable for pocket pc 2003?
Application Verifier Test Tool Is this tool only applicable for unmanaged code? If we are using .NET as the development environment, do we still have to use this tool?
Call Interupts Is their a special way of handling Call Interrupts in the application or the default behaviour provided by the device (Moto Q) is OK?
Send Key (Green key) on the device What is the expected behaviour of this key when the application is running? Do we have to handle it separately in the application
Is their a maximum space limit allowed for creation of the database files for an application?
Is their any specific utility like MaxfileCNT which NSTL uses for checking the behaviour of the application when there is no space available on the device?
thanks & regards,
Rashmi
SQL Security Guidelines? (i.e. Authentication, Accounts)
May 3, 2004We are about to change the sa password, currently all packages and jobs rely on this account. I imagine there is probably a better architecture that we could employ to ease this process. Any suggestions recommendations?
Also any caveats I should be aware of regarding places to look that might currently rely on the sa account so that we do not need to worry about existing processes from breaking?
I think we are going to create an NT account for DTS Packages and possibly use the same account for any DTSRun jobs, does this make sense? Or is there anything to gain by having these as separate accounts? Also should this be the same account used to run the MSSQLServer process?
I tried doing a search for this information here, thinking it was already covered, but could not find anything that informative, any resources that you could point me to would be appreciated, I will look on BOL as well as MSFT to see what I can dig up.

Guidelines For Readiness Testing For Moving SQL2000 DBs To SQL2005?
Oct 17, 2006Hi,
We have a number of databases running on our SQL2000 Servers. The databases use Stored Procedures which we call from our VB.NET apps, developed in-house. We now wish to upgrade our servers to SQL2005.
In the past, when upgrading from VS2002 to 2003 and then 2005, we have developed and executed Test Plans to ensure that the code upgrades properly. Microsoft even supplies FXCop and other tools to help. I now wish to develop and execute a similar Test Plan to ensure that our databases will work as required.
Does Microsoft supply any similar tools or guidelines for testing that databases written for SQL2000 will work as required on SQL2005? I see the Upgrade Wizard to examine the Server but is there a similar tool for testing databases? Are there any guidelines on the tests to include in such a Test Plan?
Thanks

Description: An
unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web
request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the
error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:The
connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a
database location within the applications App_Data directory. The
provider attempted to automatically create the application services
database because the provider determined that the database does not
exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to
successfully check for existence of the application services database
and automatically create the application services database:
If
the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web
server account must have read and write access to the applications
directory. This is necessary because the web server account will
automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already
exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web
server account only requires read and write access to the applications
App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account
will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already
exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access
on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the
provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database
already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to
create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is
required because the web server accounts credentials are used when
creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local
user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a
local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.

Data Base Size
Sep 30, 2005So which is the biggest database you have worked with ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedBase Database Implementation
Jan 31, 2006I am currently looking to buy or build software that enables my firm to:
Run a set of scripts to create a base database - empty database with minimum amounts of data (i.e. lookup data and seed data). So that when a new development project begins all that is needed to build the database is to run these scripts.
The challenges we face is managing these scripts. It would be easier from a manual perspective to only have 5-6 scripts, so that we do not need to manually open and execute each script (representing an object). The problem with this is when you modify a stored procedure, you modify it in your version control platform (which is single object based) and then you need to find and replace the object in your script.
What we are looking to do is buy or build an application to manage these files for us. I was wondering if anyone has purchased a solution to accomodate this?
We currently have ApexSQL Diff - which works well to compare contents of databases (structurally it does well, seems to have a problem comparing data but that is another discussion). What it does not do well is script out an entire database, and if it were to do this, it would put it all in one file.
