I've gone through the Microsoft press study material for Exam 70-229. It is okay but not really comprehensive. I'd appreciate any supporting book that deals with the exam topics inside out... And info on any site which offers good practise exams is also appreciated.
Thank you.

I am a beginner doing ETL processes, searching for a step by step detailed guide. Actually I could not map the columns, getting errormessages, and moreover I need to add sql.
Where could I find a such a detailed guide?
how to set values for parameter during run-time.
in query, we set
select * from user_alms where username=?
during run-time, we have to pass values to the username. how it has to be done using dataadapter.
my current coding is as follows:
dim Conn as new odbcconnection
dim strQuery as string
Conn = New OdbcConnection(connString)
strQuery = "select * from user_alms where username=?"
ODBCHelper.ExecuteDataset(Conn, CommandType.Text, strQuery, ds, 0, 0)
what i have to do, for pass parameter values to '?' during runtime
thanx in advance

Hi All,
Does somebody know where can I find a guide or white paper regarding to the subject?
It should contain the procedures needed to recover Analisys, Reporting and Integration services as well.

Hey forum...i'm a newbie to SQL, but not IT. However I'm or a network admin than a database admin...so this is completely new.
All i'm trying to do is setup one single database for my mail server to use for grey listing entries. it is using Access right now, and i want to setup a SQL Express database and DSN for it to use.
Does anyone have a good pointer for beginning SQL people?
THANKS!
The overly complex MSDN library is proving virtually useless to me. To give you some background, I've programmed PHP / MYSQL websites, in-depth VBA programs for Excel and a bit of non-database work in various languages - I'm an amateur.
I've just bought a new PC (2g Ram, Core 2 Duo, Vista Home Basic) and would like to run Web Developer Exp, VB Exp and SQL Server 05 Exp.
Note. I have installed all three and run through Microsoft's video tutorial, until I hit a snag at the start of Tutorial 2. When try to create a new SQL Database in WebDev, an error saying either SQL Server is not installed or operating correctly (could Microsoft provide a more specific error or what????)
The questions Microsoft need to answer are:
1. What are the hardware requirements for SQL Server 05?
2. What are the operating system requirements for SQL Server 05?
3. What does IIS have to do with SQL Server 05?
4. How do you know if you meet the IIS requirements for running SQL Server 05?
5. Exactly what elements of SQL Server 05 are affected by different levels of IIS?
6. Can anti-virus or firewall software cause issues.
Please, some one from Microsoft respond.

well i took it and failed,
the test centre i went to in the UK had a pass mark for SQL Administration 70-228 of 70% out of 100%
does anyone know if this is a usual pass barrier or do some other UK testing centre's offer lower pass marks, and where to find them?
Hello, Im new so please be gentle. I'm just in the midst of studying for the SQL2K admin exam, and was going to to the Design exam straight afterwards. Ive heard that a person is much better off learing T-SQL before doing the design exam, is this the case? I will learn T-SQL anyway, but I'm wondering if learning before the design exam will make life easier for me?
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
I have a table which contains all the transaction details for which I am trying to create a CUBE... The explanation below in brackets is only for clarity about each field. Kindly note that I am using the following table as my fact table. Let's call it tblFact
This table contains fields like transaction date, Product (which is sold), Product Family (to which the Product Belongs), Brand (of the product), Qty sold, Unit Price (at which each unit was sold), and some other fields.
I have created a Product dimension based on tblFact. I don't know if this is a good idea or not :confused: Is it okay and am I on the right track or should I base my Product Dimension on some other table (say tblProducts and then in the Cube editor link tblProducts with tblFact based on the ProductID field? Please guide.
Now coming to my last question:
Currently I am also creating my Time Dimension based on tblFact. Is this also a wrong approach?
1. Should I instead create the Time Dimension based on a different table (say tblTime) and again link up tblTime and tblFact in the Cube editor?
2. if yes, then how do I create tblTime from tblFact in a manner that it only contains all the transaction dates.
3. Assuming that I should take the tblTime approach, then should this table (tblTime) also contain the ProductID - representing the Product which was sold for each date in tblTime?
I realize that this is a lenghty post but reply and more importantly guidance from the experienced users will be greatly appreciated becuase I have recently started learning/playing around on the OLAP side of things and I know that this is the time that I get my foundations correct otherwise I'll end up getting used to some bad practice and will find it difficult to change my approach to cube designing later down the road.
So many thanks in advance and I eagerly look forward to reply from someone.
Please point me towards some good trusted (possibly economical) Data Conversion tools for converting legacy system SQL 2000 (XML, Image all data type) db data to SQL 2005 database (and possibly to Oracle too) in a totally different db schema/structure.

hi!
i had the implementing database on sql server 7.0 exam this morning. there's a question that confuse me too much, it's fellowed
there are 3 columns on which you wanna create the composite index, A,B and C, A is almost identical, B is almost 50% identical and C is only 10% identical, i had the implementing database on sql server 7.0 exam this morning. there's a question that confuse me too much, it's fellowed
there are 3 columns on which you wanna create the composite index, A,B and C, A is almost identical, B is almost 50% identical and C is only 10% identical, then they asked which index enable the fastest query?
the choices:
A.clustered (A,B,C)
B.nonclustered (A,B,C)
C.clustered (C,B,A)
D.nonclustered (C,B,A)
i think the sequence must be C,B,A, but how about the clustered or nonclustered? i guess it's will be nonclustered.
ok, it's there.
could you help me? i wanna know when should be clustered besides the primary key and when should be the nonclustered.thanx!
1.You use new database dialog to create DB, but there's not available
Device, what is your quickest way to create a new device.
2.-Data and log are on same device, you issue:
DUMP database mydb to dump1
DUMP transaction mydb with truncate_only
What happened to trans log?
3 -Setting up Windows client to access your server, you enter the IP address
of the PDC, would this work?
Hi
Here is a mcdba admin question
Consider the following time line:
8:00 You accomplish the full database backup.
8:10 User1 enters the order 53 for customer 10, whose name in the database is
XXXXX (I
can't remember, but not Bill Smith)
8:12 User2 at remote server changes the name XXXXX to YYYYY
8:13 User3 changes the name YYYYY to ZZZZZ
8:14 User3 commit the transaction.
8:20 Media fails for database.
8:30 You restore the database from 8:00 backup. What is the status of the order
53 in the
database?
a) The order 53 is not in the database.
b) The order 53 is in the database and name is XXXXX.
c) The order 53 is in the database and name is YYYYY.
d) The order 53 is in the database and name is ZZZZZ.
Ans: B The name was already there.
The answer is B but I think th answer is A
becouse He or Her restroe the database from 8:00
I think the 53 order maked after 8:00 so
there is not order 53 in the backup database
How about you think and why !!!
Thanks kjs
