We have a user who uses Business Objects to run queries on the database. They are reporting that the query can lock the database up and that they were told at a conference that there is a setting which can aleviate this problem, but they are not sure if it is in SQL Server or Business Objects.
Anyone got any idea what they are talking about?

Ok, probibly an easy question but I haven't been able to find what I am looking for.
If I have a simple class (see below), how would I make the People List avalible to build a report off of?
Thanks

Have to build DR solution and subj is a part of it.
Maybe some one has done it already€¦ share the experience please.
Dr in my case will between 2 different data centers, replication is san 2 san so on other side I have a warm standby that does not see san disks and will become active if and only if the primary data center is down, windows domain is the same, ip addresses, names of the servers are different. How a cluster will behave is interesting as well (I mean CE is on cluster, not geo distributed cluster).
I have CE90. I€™m talking to their tech support that seems to be outsourced, they didn€™t really produce in 5 days anything more then a part of their own documentation in pdf format for CE version I do not use J€¦
So I€™m wondering maybe somebody had to walk similar path already€¦
We have decided to use business objects in our new application, which seems to be working well, since they can be used as a binding source for grids, etc.
I am trying to evaluate whether SSIS is a practical solution for our ETL requirements. The problem is, I can't find any examples or references, or even the slightest hint that anyone is using them with business objects. Any attempts to search yield a ton of results which are based on a commercial product called "Business Objects" rather than the design pattern.
It is currently a requirement of our development team that all data access must be done via business objects, rather than communicating directly with the database.
Can anyone provide some more information (besides just suggesting I write a custom connection manager)? Is there anyone who has actually made SSIS work with business objects?
Thanks, Richard
Hi,I am evaluating Microsoft Reporting Services against Business Objectsas a reporting tool against SQL Server. I am primarily a BOBJdeveloper and am finding RS not easy to use. Can anyone provide anyfeedback to the overall comparison between these 2 products as I amfinding RS frustrating and am wondering if it is just a matter ofre-adjusting and spending more time on it or if anyone else is findingRS more trickey to use than BOBJ as wellI would be extremely grateful for any feedback.Many thanks in advanceLA
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best.
Thanks!
Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Thank you
Can anyone take me through synchronization of contacts within Business Contacts Outlook into Microsoft Small Business Accounts?
I run a stand alone PC with NO network. When SBA came SQL was also installed. Apparently you can synchronise Contacts within Business Contacts with SBA but both SBA & Outlook should work through the same SQL server.
Has anyone tried this?
Can someone walk me through the process?

Hi everyone,
I have a question about SQL Server 2005. I have written an ASP.Net 2.0 Web Application and it is using SQL Server 2005 as Database.
In the last few days I noticed that the app is down sometimes. To analyze the problem I looked at the activity monitor in SQL Management Studio. I can see there approximately 170 processinfos.
I want to describe the column values of the process infos:
Process-ID: Unique ID and a red down-showing-arrow-icon
User: My UserDatabase: My DatabaseStatus: sleepingCommand: AWAITING COMMANDApplication: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
When I click Locks by Object, I can see the IDs of the Processinfos. Again I will show some colums:Type: DATABASERequirementtype: LOCKRequirementstate: GRANTOwnertype: SHARED_TRANSACTION_WORKSPACEDatabase: My Database
So my question is, does this mean, that i have locked the db? How are they handled? For example I have a windows service, which is doing checks in db every 10 seconds. I can see, that each check generates a new processinfo?
Is this usual, or am I doing something wrong?
Thnaks for help,Byeee

I have used DTS in the past to copy information in certain tables in production over the top of those same tables in test. However, the process is now failing. Does DTS require an exclusive lock on the source table, as well as the destination table during the export process? Will shared locks on the table I need to copy prevent DTS from completing the process?

We are running out of locks while updating a particular table (table name = history, rows = 25,000,000) in SQL Server 6.5.
LE threshold maximum is set to 200.
LE threshold minimum is set to 20.
LE threshold percentage is set to 0.
Locks is set to 0.
I have also included the stored procedure, which we use to update the history table.
As you can see, from the first four lines, we ran this SP 4 times processing around 6 million rows at a time. It runs out of locks once it is around 5.5 to 6.5 million rows. Is there a way of locking the table so that this SP can be run just once which will effectively process all the 26 million rows in one go?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Hi,
I'm trying to use the pessimistic row locking of SQL to get following result.
When a customer form is openend, the row should be locked for writing.
This lock should be left open until the user closes the customer form.
I cannot use transactions because there can be more then 1 customer form open in the same app. In ADO a connection is IN transaction or is NOT, nested transactions are not supported.
How can I keep this row locked on SQL and this until I unlock it or the connection is broken ( in case of problems on client machine )?
And how can I see on another machine of this row ( customer ) is already locked so I can open him in read-only?
For the moment I'm using extra fields that hold the info wether the customer is locked en by whom. But that's on application level, not on DB-level.
I hope this is clear enough.
Ok, this may be a brain dead question but I can't seem to figure out what it is I am doing wrong. I have a stored proc which has multiple inserts and updates and deletes. However, I do not want to commit until the end of the procedure. So near the end if no error has been return by a particular insert, update, delete I tell it to COMMIT TRAN. My problem is that it seems to run and run and run and run. I take out the Begin Tran and boom it runs fast and completes.
But if there is a problem near the end then those other statements will be committed. I wish to avoid that. I have an error routine at the end of the SP and I have if statement to GOTO sp_error: if @@error produces a non zero value. I am sure I am doing something goofy but can seem to see it. I know it has come down to the Begin Tran. Is it that I have too many uncommitted transactions? Or perhaps I am locking something up. I know its hard to tell without seeing what I am doing but is there something simple to remember about using explicit transactions that I am forgetting. Any help is appreciated.

Hello .
I am using SQL Server 2000 in order to create a multi user program that accesses data.
The problem is that multiple users will update and select data at the same time at the same table.
Is there a way to avoid deadlocks ?
I heard about two ways: using a temporary table to store data and then write the data only when the user finished the update.
and the other is using xml to write the database to a xml file that is stored locally. do the updates on the file and then after completion insert the xml file into the database.
does anybody know much about these ways? do you know where i can find code for this ?
is there a better way?
thanks !
and happy new year !
Hi all, firstly I would like to apologise because I don't actually use sql or know diddly squat about it. I am a network administrator and have a problem with a user's domain account getting locked out everytime he starts his sqlagent service (we are running a windows 2003 domain). I know this a vary vague post and I am sorry for that. I am just after some general ideas/information on why this keeps happening. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
On SQL i have created a query. Here is the code:
use DB1;
select * from [Jobs]
select resource_type, request_mode, request_status, request_session_id
from sys.dm_tran_locks
It produces the following results when run:
|resource_type | request_mode | request_status | request_session_id
|Database | S | Grant | 51
|Database | S | Grant | 54
What is "S"? what are the other possibilities and their meaning for this field.
And.. 51 and 54...what are they exactly? Are they individual people or user ids?
For example, could 51 be "Advanced users" and 54 be "Generic Users" under SQL security?
My next question is...
I suspect i have too many Indexes on my table "Jobs". I suspect it is causing page locks. Especially when someone is updating the records.
I will run this query when users complain to me about not being able to edit records.
Ok..Question is...if i have a PageLocking entrant..
Through SQL manager..is it possible to boot a user off temporarily..?
How do you do it?
Thanks
In Advance

Hi all,
I've created a store dimension. Within the store dimension is a CityID column that is related to a City dimension. Currently this city dimension has the following columns:
CityID (primary key --- foreign key for the StoreDim)
CityName
CountyName
StateName
CountryName
...
My SCD's source is being loaded from a query to a Zip table that contains ZipCodes along with cityID, CountyID, StateID, and CountryID that can be joined out to their respective tables to find the information needed to populate my SCD. However, cities can have several number of zipcodes and several cities in different states can have the same names. This causes a problem with eliminating duplicates for my dimension as well as finding a suitable business key.
For example, let's take a case: Washington city, District of Columbia (county), District of Columbia (state), USA (Country)
Now, this city has SEVERAL zip codes so when I create my joins:
SELECT ...
FROM Zip Z
INNER JOIN City C
ON C.CityID = Z.CityID
INNER JOIN County Cty
ON Cty.CountyID = Z.CountyID
So this returns several CityIDs for the same city... which when I try to use for my SCD causes problems because i have several business keys based off my CityIDs so my dimension loaded would look like
CityID CityDesc CountyDesc StateDesc CountryDesc
1 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA
2 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA
3 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA
4 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA
I want to have just ONE record in my dimension for this city.... How would I do this and what would I use for a business key? Also any recommendations on which of these attributes should be historical attributes? I would appreciate any input you guys have.
The Business Intelligence isn't showing up in the menu with ( Visual Basic, Visual C##, etc). A teckie installed the pro version and said she installed everything, can some one point me in the right direction. We purchase the media and installed from that.
Hi All, Please help me out how to implement the locking in below scenarioReq - There are two tables Table1 & Table2 If I will insert in table1 then related data fields will be auto updated in table2 , similarly based on the data in table2 table1 data needs to be updated. Now the sync of table1 & table2 is working fine.My prob is we are handling the updation/insertion from the UI screens . Two separate screen for each table. When we have multiple user accessing the screens say - User1 updates table1 and User2 updates table2 then we need to implement the locking so that at one time one screen will allow updation in the table1 and hence table2.The other screen shouldnt allow updation in table2 and hence in table1.This is very common locking functionality ...but am not getting any way to implement it , Please advise.Srain.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to secure an sqlserver database such that it can only be accessed from an application and to prevent anyone with full admin rights on their local machine and an sqlserver licence from getting in to the database.
I am struggling with controlling access to the database from the sa account. If I attach to the database from a second instance of sqlserver which is different than that where the database was created then I am able to gain full access no problems, which is of course The Problem.
From what I can work out.
1. sa is dbo (and this cannot be changed)
2. dbo has the role of db_owner (and this cannot be changed)
3. the permissions for the db_owner role cannot be changed.
4. the password for sa is set at the level of sqlserver and not per database
.....so any sa can access any database.
I don't believe this so have to be missing something significant, any light on the subject would be gratefully received.
