hello everyone!
I'm currently dumping tables from PostgreSQL 7 to SQL Server 2K and I've been wondering if it's possible to create a trigger between the two databases.
..like if there's an insert to a PostgreSQL table, the trigger inserts the same row to the SQL Server table.
If it is possible, please do send me a sample code.
Thanks!
Can I connect directly to Outlook using SSIS? If so is there any white paper or walkthroughs I could follow?
TIA
Tom
Hi all
I hope you can help me in some way.
Basically for the last 5 months i've developed a SQL 2k db for my company.
All of a sudden they quite fancy using Linux on the server, therefore i would be required to use PostgreSQL instead of SQL Server 2k.
I could do with some advice about how PostgreSQL and SQL Server compare? and how much work would be involved in migrating from one to the other.
Points i've found myself and may be an issue are:
I've used some of SQL Servers XML capabilites and as far as i can tell PostgreSQL doesn't support XML.
I've made extensive use of functions that return table variables etc... is there a similar idea i can use in PostgreSQL?
Extensive use of Stored Procedures and T-SQL etc...
DTS packages. Any equivalent or similar idea?
(ps i've also posted this in the PostgreSQL but since no one replyed i was hoping the sql server boffs could help).
I am wondering if it is possible to access a remote postgresql database using the sql server ce access classes. I do not want to run a postgresql server on windows ce, just access one from a mobile device.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have configured an instance to use static port, say 1435, and I turned off the Browser service.
I would like to know if I can use SSMSE to connect to the instance database directly. The instance is listening at port 1435 and accepting connection requests from other methods.
What I need to put into the "Server name: " field?
Normally, it would be like: <serverIP><InstanceID> with Browser turned on.
Now how do I add the port information to it, I tried
<serverIP>:<portNumber><InstanceID>
<serverIP><InstanceID>:<portNumber>
<serverIP><InstanceID> <portNumber>
None of them worked.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi,
I´m building an aplication with VB.net and SQL Server 9, but in the future it will be compatible with PostgreSQL (by another developer), so my question is, if anyone knows what "data types" in SQL Server 9 i must use to maintain compatibility with PostgreSQL, so that when the time come for the conversion i don t have to chage the "Data Types" on each table.
Any help would be apreciated.
I am trying to import one table from postgreSQL to SQL Server 2005 using sql server import and export wizard. When i test the connection after providing data source, location, username, password in the Data Link Properties section I get the message "Test Connection Succeeded". As soon as i press next to go onto next step i get the following error.
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------
Cannot get string literals from the database connection "Provider=PostgreSQL.1;User ID=sa;Data Source=localhost;Location=TestMasterMap;Extended Properties=".

Hi Friends,
I want to know if there are a manner of replication(two-way) between MSSQL SERVER and (postgresql or mysql or ORACLE).

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

First of all, this is my first time using SQL SERVER 2005 express, before that i'm using POSTGRESQL database.
I would like to know how what's the equivalent command for "BEGIN","ROLLBACK","COMMIT", these are the POSTGRESQL COMMAND use to start transaction, rollback transaction and commit transaction.
Example when i use this kind of command is . I need to insert data into 3 table. before insert into table1, i issue "begin", start to insert data into table1, if table1 no error, then i proceed to table 2 and table3. if table2 and table3 no error. then issue "commit" to commit the changes. but if any error happen between table1 and table 2 or table 2 and table3, i will issue "rollback" to roll any changes that i make to table1, table2 and table3.
Maybe some one can teach me how to achieve using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi,
I'm currently writing a desktop application that communicates directly with a SQL server database on the local network. Ideally we'd like to connect directly to the database via the Internet.
- connecting via the Internet is important because we want easy access from anywhere.
- directly is important because fast data transfer is a requirement.
Not knowing much about the security implications of such a connection, I thought I'd ask here. So what are the major risks and objections? Can the connection and data be made secure?
Cheers, Gavin
Hello,
1. Can we directly install sp2 without SP1 - for sql server 2005.
2 . Iam basically dotnet developer. iam using sql server 2005 both developer and express editions. Do i need to stop sql server service before installing sp2. ?
During sp1 installation, it seems some file are locked and when it prompt, i stopped service and continued installation.
3. Moreover Sql server 2005 express edition comes along with VS2005 didn't have management studio. I feel like having entire features installed in my system. I have downloaded express edition SQLEXPR_ADV.exe. Which is better choice for installation.
thanks

pl tell which data type to use and how can i display the picture in my client app
Beside its an opensource and supported by community, what's the fundamentaldifferences between PostgreSQL and those high-price commercial database (andsome are bloated such as Oracle) from software giant such as Microsoft SQLServer, Oracle, and Sybase?Is PostgreSQL reliable enough to be used for high-end commercialapplication?

Dear Forum,
our goal is to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. So far we used to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which resulted in the Version 9.00.1399 (basic run time machine).
We noticed that SP1 is almost the same sice as the basic run time machine. Still, we then we applied SP1. during the installation, at the window "Existing Components", the "SQL Server Database Services 9.00.1399.06 is listed with a check box. When I tick the box, the installation can continue. SP1 resulted in the version 9.00.2047. (checked on sqlservr.exe).
my question: can we install directly SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 without any previous SQL Server installation at all to save installation time (and errors)?
I do now that the service packs are considered "cumulative", so SP2 includes SP1, but I do not know of SP1 includes the basice runtime machine.
thanks for your answers

Forgive me if this question is a bit too generic, if it is, feel free tojust not respond.I have a database which has been running in PostgreSQL for a number ofyears at this stage which I want to port into MS SQL server.It seems that the SQL that Postgre outputs when I do a backup is notsyntactically correct within MS-SQL server.My question is, does anyone have any documentation on how to convert adatabase from the Postgre platform to SQL server? Is it possible usingan ODBC connection to import a database structure including tabledefinitions, views etc into SQL Server?Failing this, does anyone have any suggestions on where I might start -I did attempt to go through the SQL code and modify it to suit SQLserver, but it's about 3,500 lines of code excluding the insertstatements (which themselves are also wrong) and almost every line needssomething changed when comparing SQL syntax from Postgre to MSSQL serverThanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.Engada.--Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I was wondering if it was possible to call reporting server web service directly from my sql server stored procedure. The call that I need to make to reporting web service needs to generate the report in a PDF format.
According to this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(d=robot).aspx, it seems that it cannot. But is this a complete chart?
Thanks for any help,

Hi friends,
I couldn't find links for this issue.
1) How to write the contents of a dataset or a full resultset (from execute sql task) directly into a Sql Server 2005 table.
2) Since I have hundreds of Resulting columns, I want to create the Destination table based on the structure of the dataset.
How can we achieve this?
Thanks

I am faced with the following dilemma: I have a Windows desktop application developed in Visual Basic .NET, it's a fairly large size, about 100,000 lines of code. I developed it in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I recently converted it to Visual Studio 2005. My database is PostgreSQL 7.4. I have roughly 500 database objects, i.e. tables, views, sequences, and functions, in it. My biggest table probably has a few hundred thousand records in it.
Another developer in my company will soon be starting work on a Web application that will be pulling its data from the same database as the above mentioned Windows application. So basically we have a situation where two different applications, a Windows and a Web one, have to access the same database.
Currently the plan is to develop the Web application in ColdFusion. However, since I already have a large-scale application in VB.NET that will be accessing the same database I was thinking it might be a better idea to develop the Web application in ASP.NET, seeing as how ASP.NET is VB.NET. That would present more opportunities for the two applications to interact with each other.
And in that vain, my dilemma is this, should I switch my database to SQL Server 2005 or should I stay with PostgreSQL? I am happy with PostgreSQL so far but if I have one VB.NET and one ASP.NET application, doesn't it make more sense to have SQL Server database?
I know that PostgreSQL is free and SQL Sever costs money, but what about SQL Server Express 2005? That's free too, but how much of the functionality of SQL Server 2005 does it support? The organization I work for is small and it would be hard to convince management to spend money on a commercial database like SQL Server 2005 when what we have works just fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?
i have a query and i would like to write the contents of the dataset out directly to a file and not bother with creating another temp table and then exporting it with a command with a dts to a csv file.
it is a type of reporting that i am trying to do

Hello!
Me and my collegues was recently assigned to maintain a SQL Server 2000 instance, which pretty much only holds one database.
From what we can tell, a backup of this database has never been created, atleast not through SQL Server.
When asking the previous owner, the answer was "We have been taking 'Legato backups' every day!"
We now intend to schedule a SQL Server backup job, but out of curiosity...
In case of a disaster, would these "Legato backups" have been any use at all?
Please elaborate :-)
I have a delivery extension that prints to network printers.
Now I add a subscription like a few minutes in the future via web service for each report to print.
Is there a way I can trigger the delivery directly?
Thanks for ideas, guys.

Hi,
Is possible to get a report directly from excel or I must develop an tools for that?

First let me give you a little back ground on me. I'm very new to the ASP, ASP.NET, Visual Studio, Sql Server, Frameworks....thing. I am coming over from a PHP/MySql background of over 5 years. The change over to VBScript and VB has been to tough and I have a basic liking for the Visual Studio 2005 and the ease of putting things together. However, I have come across something that to me seems like it should be relatively simple, but haven't been able to find the documentation or samples to describe what I'm looking to do.
Rough Need:
1. Start with a form will a couple labels and a singe textbox to get the lookup date from an user.
2. Query one table/view based on the users choice of date and select only one field of returned data.(Doing this by itself is not a problem and I can display my results in a Gridview, but this is where it starts getting tricky and the gridviews won't work for me.)
3. If there is something returned, I need to start a HTML table layout or possibly some form of a Gridview(I don't see how I would use the Gridview) and start a loop, adding the first returned row from this query into the first cell.
4. Now, based on that same User Date and the returned row value from the previous query, I need to query another Table/view and return another single field, which might return 1 or multiple rows, which I need to start a loop to display unique items in cells under the first on above.
5. Based on the original User Date and each returned row from the first query, I need to query two other Table/views and get some additional information. 4-5 fields will be returned and be displayed on one row in the number of necessary columns.
6. This would finish the first row from the first query, so I would need to loop back up to see if there were any further results and continue looping until the get to the last of the results from the first query.
7. Finally, I would just need to close up the Table/gridview.
The basic results I'm looking for would be similar to the following:
Results for 10/11/2005
Field name 1
Field name 2
Field name 3
Field name 4
Field name 5
First Result from query 11 of 4 results from Query 2, but only 1 unique result

It seems me from what I have read and slowly figuring out, is that I should be able to directly access the DataSet returned by four SqlDataSources, one for each of the above querys and then just write my own VB to handle the necessary looping, table format and such. I can easily add the for SqlDataSources to the page and add a Gridview for each one and get 4 separate chunks of info, but can't see a way with GridViews to intermingle the info like displayed above.
So, if it can be done with Gridviews, then I would love to see how that is done. But, if someone could explain to me how I access the DataSets directly that I get from the 4 SqlDataSources, then that would be ok too. I have figured enough out with VB, that I can write the code to do my looping requirements, if I can just access the information I get back. Thanks for reading all the way through this long post.

Hey all Im trying to make a system in which users logged on can change their password. I dont want to use a grid view because that dosent give me the chance to let them put in their old password first for validation but now I need a way of takeing data out of the textbox with the new password and placeing it in to the field in a database.As I stand at the moment I have a data.dataview variable equal to an SQL Data Source with my query in it, bringing back a record from a users table with the users username, password and a field stating what type of user they are. It filters this by username which is stored as a session variable and username is the primary key. there is then an if statement checking that the string in the password field is equal to what the user has written in the old password box and if they match it uses the command:dv.Table.Rows(0)(1) = txtNewPassword.TextMsgBox("Password Successfully Changed", MsgBoxStyle.Information)When I run this the validation successfully checks the password is correct and then displays the message box saying the password is correct but it hasnt actually changed it. Somone I know told me that I need to use the command sqldatasource.update but I cant see where it fits in. Anyone got any ideas?

Currently our client has a website where they are using aspx as front end and SQL server as back end. We are developing same functionality using php and my sql.Currently 1 phase of development is finished. They are using both applications to do the job. Now in 2nd integration they are asking the data sync from one database to other.
We have decided once the user enters the aspx form the data will be stored in client sql server but we though of writing a script to enter this info into a csv file so that from our side we access that file and update in mysql.
Other than ftp any other better approaches to access that file on client server?Is there any possibility to sync databases directly?
hi
im new to Sql server so this might be a daft question
is there something where i can put data directly into a table (i.e entering data into a grid) or do i have to write the sql every time
I know it is possible to use the secondary replica to pull data (application intent) etc..
But is there some way to query the replica directly via SSMS?
