How To Connect Jsp File With Microsoft SQL Server

May 28, 2004

Can anyone please teach me how to make a connection between jsp file and Microsoft SQL Server database steps by steps?

I'm using Windows XP and I found that my computer do not have JDBC (I already have ODBC). Is this mean that I have to install some JDBC or SQL driver in order to make the connection? Which driver should I install and where can I get the driver?

If possible, please show me some example so that I can understand better..Thanks a lot.

I Can't Connect To My Local Database.mdf File

When trying to open or doubleclick or expand my .mdf file the following message pops up:

Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instance enabled' to generate user instances.

What is the solution for this problem?

Can't Create And Connect To A New Database (.mdf File)

Jun 28, 2006

Unfortunately I was sent to this product by my Hosting Site since all I was trying to do was Create and Manage a User Login with authentication to my subsites in MS Frontpage. (rant: Why doesn't Frontpage support this technology???)

Anyway, I have now spent (wasted?) 8 hours downloading, installing, and tyring to configure SQL Express along with MS Visual Web Developer Express for ASP.NET 2.0 ... For the life of me I can't find detailed configuration informatin and setup information to build a SIMPLE database to connect to the VW product. Folk: this HAS to be simpler to do than what you present in the product! This is way too difficult to deal with compare with frontpage.

Is there a simple "how to" link someplace that is specific enough to preclude me from uninstalling this entire suite ????

Connect To A SQL Server Database File

Jul 12, 2007

Hi,

I am a beginner on using SQL Server Express. I have two different questions. Here is the first:

I've developed a simple C# application in Visual Studio 2005 that connects to a SQL Server database file. In the application I connect to the database using this connection string:



@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Databasesmydatabas.mdf ;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";

and It works perfect.

But when I move the database file(and the corresponding log-file) to another computer it fails. I've changed the connection string to this



@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=\myserverDatabasesmydatabase.mdf ;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";



This is the error message I get when I try to open the database



The file \myserverDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file \myServerDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.



Both computer runs Windows XP SP2.



My second question is:

When I deployed my solution to my production PC(witch also runs Windows XP SP2, .NET Framwork 2.0 is installed on the computer) .When I then tried to run the application I did get this error message

An error has occured when establishing a connection to the server. When connection to a SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remomte conections.....

Appearently I cant treat SQL Server database files in the same way as Access-files, or?

How Can I Connect OWC PivotTable To A Local Cube File?

Aug 4, 2004

:eek:

I want to use the Office Web Components (v10) PivotTable embedded in a web page. The examples and tutorials I've been able to find on MSDN all use the same architecture: The initial pivottable configuration is created by instantiating the object server-side and programmatically configuring it. The XMLDATA property is then read and sent to the client. At the client, script sets the XMLDATA property. So far so good, all makes sense. Then my problem: The PivotTable is then connected to Analysis Server using an http connection string (through IIS). As my users do not have database accounts, only application accounts, I cannot allow database connection information on the client. Trouble is, the PivotTable generates MDX queries when a user reconfigures the view, and there are no hooks (events or other means) to programmatically obtain the generated MDX query - a fact that is explicitly confirmed in MSDN documentation.

This clearly means that the PT must be connected directly to it's data source. So I thought I could just create a local MOLAP cube file and download it to the client (permissible as it runs as a trusted application). But nowhere can I find any example or documention on how to do this.

This is driving me slightly insane and I have little hair left now; if anyone knows how to do it or where to find proper PivotTable documentation (rather than a collection of examples that do something else from what I need to do!) then help is greatly :p appreciated!

Integration Services :: SSIS Package Not Able To Connect To XLSX File

Apr 23, 2015

I have a very simply package using an Excel connection to an XLSX file.  It's a straight read of the file and import onto a table. 

The package works fine in Visual Studio 2008 development and also runs fine when executing on the (server I copied it to) under Integration Services.    

However, under a SQL Agent, the package (32-bit is checked) can not acquire the connection to an excel file.   I use UNC pathing to the file.  I've read other posts about similar problems and tried various scheduling options (including Owner of job).   

I even tried a to trigger it with a command-line which did not work: 

"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server100DTSBinnDTEXEC.exe" /sq "our packagesMy_XLSX_File_Import" /SERVER myserver /X86  /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E

All errors are:   "DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0209302."

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio - Opening SQL-File From Explorer Does Not Connect Automaticly To Server/database

Apr 25, 2008

hello,

I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.

In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.

Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).

Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.

Any ideas?

thanks &
best regards,
Christian Kiedels

SQL 2012 :: Applications Cannot Connect Because Logins Cannot Connect To Their Default Databases

I designed the AlwaysOn wrong, but every time we fail over from primary server to another server, my applications cannot connect because the sql logins cannot connect to their default databases. Once I run the command to link the login with the user in the default database then the users are able to connect. Did I do something wrong when designing AlwaysOn?

Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005

Dec 12, 2006

I'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.

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.

Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.

These are my values in my Java app web.xml -

<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.

And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Reporting Services :: Parsing SSRS Config File And Dynamically Changing File Path Of Config File In Code

Sep 2, 2015

Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url.  My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?

Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc. 

I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).

Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File (file Location).../Database.mdf Failed. A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be Opened, Or It Is Located On UNC Share.

Sep 2, 2007

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
 I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
 Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

Maintenance Commands Affect On Log File / Log File Maintenance Without Log File Backups?

Jun 18, 2015

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.

I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.

1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?

2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?

3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?

4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?

I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.

Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.

5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?
