I'm wanting to start to understand SQL Server. I've got the Beta Version of MS SQL Server 2000 and was wondering whether I could install this on my Windows Me box and start developing? Is this wise, or should i not use the Beta version? Is there a time when the Beta version "runs out"?
Are there any good basic SQL web sites out there? I know all about Access developement and i know some SQL, but i know nothing about SQL server. Which is the best site for me?
Hello,I am looking for basic info on installing and using MSDE.I am trying to install and play with MSDE on my PC (Win2000). Ifinally managed to work my way through installation, and namedinstances but I am finding no information on how to simply START thedatabase engine and get to a sql prompt! I have manually started theMSSQL and SQLAGENT services, and tried running sqlservr.exe andosql.exe (just guessing) without success. Can anyone refer me to adocument that gives this BASIC information!?
I'm trying to ascertain how I can find out more about a particular job.
The information I have from a script I have to identify deadlock root causes gave me back this information: spid 86 is blocking spid 51... spid 86 info: SQLAgent - TSQL JobStep (Job 0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17 : Step 1)
Well, that's good to know, but I would like to be able to identify the particular job that 'owns' TSQL JobStep (Job 0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17 : Step 1).
I've read the BOL on the sysjob type tables; and, while they tell me about the columns in the tables and what they are, they tell me absolutely nothing about how one goes about figureing out what I want to know.
I suspect one problem I have is that '0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17' needs converting to something else and I have no idea how to go about doing this. I was never that good at converting hex (I assume that is what this is) when I was doing it rather often, which is years ago, so I really have no idea how to start.
I have just started to use SQL Reporting services with asp.net but I must admit I am getting very confused !
The web server and sql server are on different boxes. When I use asp.net to access the server through a web page for database stuff it works fine. but I cannot get report viewer using serverreport to work.
I realised I had to configure reporting services on the sql box
( SQL Server machine called ABC1 and the database DB1 with a sql user and pwd )
When I go into database setup in configure report server the server appears in the drop down list and I select the database name as DB1
I then put Credentials type as SQL Server credentials and put in the user and password for DB1
When I click APPLY the SQL Server Connection dialog box appears.
If I select SQL Server as the credentials type and OK I get the error ' a connection could not be established....invalid object name sysdatabases'
If I select current user-integrated security two errors appear in the task status box
1. Current connection string is invalid and cannot be used to connect to SQL Server 2. Assigning Reporting servce rights to user - The reporting services rights were not applied properly
Ok, I'm a beginner so forgive me for my ignorance. Could someone helpme with this?tbl_x has two fields xid and xlistxlist being a list of numbers.....1, 5, 6, 8i want to create a new table from tbl_x that converts each number inthat xlist into a row in tbl_newso for exampletbl_x has 3 rowsxid xlist1 1, 4, 52 2, 3, 73 2, 1, 7i need a query or sql script that will convert that table with a listinto the following....tbl_newid xid xlid1 1 12 1 43 1 54 2 25 2 36 2 77 3 28 3 19 3 7
We are using SQL Server 2005, on Windows server 2003 R2.
We Have Two Database Servers say DBServer1 and DBServer2, Now I wants to do Replication between these to servers, such that
1. The Changes at DBServer1 should be reflected at DBServer2 2. The Changes at DBServer2 should be reflected at DBServer1 3. Changes includes Data changes and Schema Changes 4. After every Synchronization Both Databases should be Identical
I tried doing so, what i did was I cofigured Distribution at DBServer1, also Publisher and Publication at DBServer1 and Made a Subscription at DBServer2.
What I successfully done is If Publisher means DBServer1 do some changes then it gets updated at DBServer2. But New Rows added at DBServer2 doesn't gets added at DBServer1

I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I have developed a great intrest in the MS SQL Server recently. I was just wondering if it was worth putting my time into learning this system. In the members opinion would SQL server be technically fit? Does it have a good campacity and flexibility? These areas are quite important to me. I would also like to know how web friendly the server is and its ability to handle complex data.

There is Production server with different Unicode Id and its standard edition, I need to build the server with same configuration of production server, Can anyone help me as to how to get all the info of the server
That is to say, from a management perspective? I've been asked to provide one, as I'm the first DBA there ever, but I'm not sure what depth of info they want. And, does anyoe have scripts that can perform the audit, or an actual example audit?
I'd imagine an audit should encompass the following:
Database names; Database sizes; Location and size of data/temp/log etc. files; Hardware specs (cpu/memory/disk sizes); Number of logins; User applications.
I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg, I'd be grateful for your input!

I don't want another userto take those files and create database on another SQL Server. Isthere any option available in SQL server while creating database toprotect this file with password or any darn thing for protection thatwould not allow to create the database by using those file or anyworkaround.Thanks in advance for your help.

Can someone help me with the following... My SQL server disk says standard edition on it, my invoice for the license says standard edition (granted it's expired according the license site) but when I go to the machine and right click on the local DB properties it says it's personal edition...
I am confused how this can be.. Any thoughts ?
The only way I figured this out was because we kept getting the you have exceeded your limit of 8 concurent queries...
My site is hosted by Fasthosts(.co.uk), which means I cannot put an MS SQL database on my site: they don't support that sort of thing. I have to pay for a seperate SQL database on a seperate server (also hosted by fasthosts). They have given me an IP, a server name, a database name, login and password. They tell me that the server require SQL authentication. I have managed to contect to the database using MS VWD 2005 through the database explorer. I cannot however make changes to the database. I have therefore downloaded SQL Server Management Express. This is where I am stuck. I can't seem to get the software to find my database. One thing I have tried is i've set up a database on my system and then run replication. When I do this I get stuch at to the "enter the name of the computer running IIS" part of the wizard, I've tried entering in the IP of the server and the ip of my website. I have also tried connecting to the database direct (not using replication) but this fails when it tries, despite all the combinations of IP, server name and database name I try! Any ideas? Regards, Howard
I'm new to using SQL server and have a few setup questions. I'm setting up a database for the company I work for. Should I setup a different database for each division in our company (e.g. accounting, project management, estimating, etc.), or should I use just one database? It seems like it would be easier to use one database so I only have to use one connection, but is this ideal? I want all the info from the different divisions to be used together, but at this point I'm confused as to how to connect different databases together, if I were to go this way.
I've been using databases for twenty years now and have just started using SQL Server 2000. I've used dbase III+, FoxPro and FileMaker Pro mostly and have a pretty good generally knowledge of databases. However, I'm constantly scratching my head over a few SQL Server foundational issues and would appreciate some help.
Probably the biggest question is this: In FileMaker Pro (and FoxPro if I remember correctly), I would set the relationship once and then never have to think about it much again. Then I could create virtual tables and sub forms which contained data from several tables and view/update them with ease. However, in SQL Server I've noticed that while I can define the relationships in a database diagram, every query has to recreate the joines. If I try to use a view I can only update one table at a time which seesm whacky to me. So what on earth is the point of having relationships if you have to redefine them with each query? I've read that referrential integrity is the reason but that only baffles me further as I don't understand the point. Sure I get cascading deletes but there has to be more to the feature than that.
Also, when I want to insert data in multiple related tables I'm used to utilizing the existing relationship, mentioning the primary key once and then simply filling in the data. It seems in SQL Server that I have to also insert on the foreign key. This doesn't make sense as the database should know which record I'm talking about in the foreign key table(s) as they're related. Again though, I'm not only recreating the relationship in the insert but I'm also having to specify the foreign key. I guess it just makes me wonder why it's not simply checking the relationships which already exist.
So I'm a bit baffled and any help would be most appreciated.
