where the job_type columIn is of the char(1) type, NTBSTRINGBIND is the vartype argument in the dbbind() function.
However, what I have gotten is nothing more than a null string from the job_type column. I have alternatively changed the vartype argument to STRINGBIND, CHARBIND and even INTBIND, but the results are the same.
Who can tell me the tricks to retrieve a char(1) column from SQL server?
My platform is mainly windows nt4 server with two windows 2000 member servers. We recently acquired a higher spec machine to replace the old sql 7 server that is on windows NT4 box. The new server is a windows 2000 box and I have installed sql 7 on it.
The problem is when I try to create a new login it does not give me the option to select my domain. When I select new login and go for windows nt4 authentication the drop arrow for Domain only has the server name and not the domain name. If I manually input the domain name it rejects it.
I do not have Active Directory or a local dns server running on my network as we have no intention of migrating to Win2000 until next year. Our internet service provider handles our dns issues.
Hi all. Here is my problem. Computer A has sql server 2005 express installed on it together with sql management studio. Computer B has only sql management studio. Computers are members of a corporate domain and are running xp professional. After starting management studio on computer B the databese engin on computer A is visible in the 'select server to connect to' dialog under network servers. When i try to connect i get the message login failed - so i try to add a windows athentication login for the appropriate user on computer A. The problem is as follows: Under 'Create new login/Select user or group/location' no network location apear and i can not add a network user name. This seem to be a network connectivity issue. I have, however, adjusted network connectivity via surface area configuration and enabled tcp/ip and named pipes - the server is visible form another computer as i have prviously mentioned.

Hi, I'm using VS2005, .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 on Windows Vista Business. I wish to implement a database in my mobile device which is using Windows CE 5.0, .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Beta, which version of SQL server should I install into the device? I've tried using SQL mobile 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition but it won't work. I'm having a Can't find PInvoke DLL 'sqlceme30.dll' error when I try to run the following block of code:
Geekz, My problem is that , I had setup blog on server say, blog.xyz.com [I am using blogengine.net, which is in ASP.Net]. It is using sql server2005 as a backend for storing its blog's posts. After settingup blog, i tried to access its database through my windows application. But while development I was getting error that "An error has occured while establishing a onnection to the server. When connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the defaukt settings SQL server doesnot allow remote connections.(Provider Named Pipes, error :40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)" I am using [String ConnectionString = "Data Source=sql-v123.mesa11.1Server.net; Initial Catalog=abc; User ID=xyz; Password=xyz123";] Then I decided to created a webservice that will access the data from databse blog and store it somewhere in datatable and using windows application i will retrieve those data for end user. So I want to to know that whether i can access the datatable of webservice holding the blog data from windows application or not. if answer is Yes, then please provide me with source or some great links. Or if There is any other option so that I can access my database directly from windows application, then it would be better. Looking for your answers. Thanks and regards
What I want to do is remove part of a result from a query. I am selecting the srvname from sysservers as follows.
SELECT srvname from sysservers Where srvid ='0'
When the name is returned some times it might be like servernameinstance. What I need to do is cut off the and everything after that so that my result is just servername. I am then using this result in a cursor to go after server shares. The length of the servername varies. Any suggestions.
Hello: I'm scheduling DTS packages to run as a job but when I do that, the job siply does not works, someone tolds me that it's a problem with the SQL and Windows NT authentication and security and he gaves me this URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q269074. but it not so clear to me, i'm working with SQL Server 200 and Windows Server 2000.
Currently I am using the BCP functionality to import/export tables between different SQL Server 2005 databases. The process is working ok, but it creates alot of manual work, when 70 or more tables need to be transferred, every week. I am new to RMO development and am interested if the following may be possible.
- I would like to build an interface in VB.net allowing users to select a source database, and select the tables that need to be transferred from the Source DB, to the Destination DB.
-Put in place RMO funtionality to replicate the source database tables into flat files.
-Within the Vb.net app transfer the created flat files into the destination database.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this, or if there may be a better approach at replacing the BCP functionality.

Hi!I want some tutorials on how to actually program database applications. Everything seems so bound with the data controls provided by Visual Studio and coming from PHP I don't like to not have full control over my applications. So where can I learn about creating my own database applications without using repeater, gridview or formview?Thank you in advance!
I need to create a database with one table and its column names. I got this script from the query analyzer templates as a database basic template: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name = N'<database_name, sysname, test_db>') DROP DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db> GO
CREATE DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db> GO
I am not sure what it all means, what I need to do it name the database a certain name each time. and then create one table with 6 column names.
Currently, I am running the code in an Access/VBA module through an ODBC connection, but I would like to be able to run all my code directly on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
What do all of you use to create and edit stored procedures? I am looking for a better way to code than to use the default window supplied with Enterprise Manager.
Do most of you use the Query Analyzer? Are there third party products you like using better?
I am looking into a production geared software called MassGroup. (www.massgroup.com) It says that its FactoryServer builds are on a standardized SQL framework and web architecture for data collection, work order requests, reporting and asset management. My questions are:
1. Is SQL its own programming language? If not what is it? Answer: After going thru several pages and reading the fine print I discovered they use VB, ASP, COM technology, and Crystal Reports.
2. How powerful do you think this would be at gathering data and does it have the capability of creating a number sequence automatically? (example: 0001; 0002; 0003...)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!!!
I have just started in Sql 6 months ago. I was an IT major in graduate school and am now in my late 30's (career change). It took me 4 years to finally get what I thought was my dream job. Well, I was promised training which I have yet to receive and bascially went from doing basic queries that I did in class in college to doing advance Sql - stored procs, etc. I completely hate it. I do not know if it is from the lack of training or if it just not for me. I am completely bored out of mind. I am also tired of struggling everyday to complete assignments. The first 2 assignments I received were way out of my league. I was told this by a project mgr who did a similiar assignment and they have years of sql experience and it took her 3 months with assistance to complete it. I have been with the company for almost 6 years. I am not sure if I should just complete my current assignments and ask if they can reassign me to a different IT department, look for a new job or just continue to struggle and pull my hair out. Please give me some feedback as to how you would handle this situation.
I need to know what exactly other languages [C#/VB.net/ADO/XML/ASP.net..etc] that I should learn in order for me to be able to excel in SQL Development.
I started getting my hands dirty with some SSIS / SSRS & SSAS, but inorder for me to handle situations such as [Find if file exist in ftp before loading, Checking a certain row of a data file before processing/ Zipping and Unzipping data files and etc...] What should I need to know well in order for me to add more value to my skills? I would like to learn 1 language and master it pretty well.What are your suggestions?
And what is this CLR that is being talked about ?Does it use other language besides SQL?
Are there any good resources (books, websites, etc) for programming SQLServer using Visual C++? I am currently using C# but I really want to learnhow to do it using C++, but it appears to be much more difficult using C++.Thanks
I know how to basically change SSIS variables from within a C#. NET winform application. But can anyone point me on how to change the contents of a connection manager SSIS connection from withing C#.net please. That is..how do i parameterize a connection manager connection to basically accept the connection information from within the winform app.
Hey, i have an installer that places ms sql express onto a machine. thats is fine. i want to create a post setup application that runs after ms sql server is installed. what for example i want to do is be able to create a user and have the DB allow remote connections. i can provide instructions for a 'peon' to make the required post setup changes but i want to see if i can cover that with an application. thanks
I am working on sql server integration services..New to this topic...I want to transfer data from flat file to sql database by doing it programatically.Creating source,destination and transform adapters
my basic question is should the source,transform and destination adapter be bulid for each file i am trying to transfer.
Not sure if this is right place to ask this. I have a table where I want a single field to show up in separate columns. (wow its hard to describe what I want. Here is an example
Store_Group_Product_Tbl store, group id, product
Let's say we have these records: Store 1 - group 1 - hats Store 1 - group 1 - clothes Store 1 - group 1 - shoes Store 1 - group 2 - drink Store 1 - group 2 - food
I want my select statement to return:
Store 1 - group 1 - hats - clothes - shoes Store 1 - group 2 - drink - food - NULL
(and in this case I will be selecting on where store = a selected store)
Is there a way to join it back to itself to get the data I want? Or will I have to select everything into an array and then manipulate that array to get everything columned up correctly?
I am trying to bring the data from Oracle to SQL Server. And, I need to write this in C#. All that I have is a source table in Oracle and a source table in SQL Server. I need to have some samples.
I am working on Sql Server 7.0 with a group of Visual Basic programmers that have made the following request:
1.They want all decimals/integer fields in the database to default to 0(zero). Is there an way to do this for all fields instead of on an individual basis? 2.They don't want a null returned on any character string field.
What is the best way to take care of these 2 requests? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram
Hi- Can you give me any help/assistance on the development process involved with migration from MS Access to SQL Server 7. Specifically, I need my current MS Access data migrated to SQL, and then I need two (2) fairly simple forms developed for data input and searching on the web. The developers I have been speaking too seem to want to buy their Hawaiian condo from this one project...which seems like A LOT OF $$ for the development of an off-the-shelf product that costs $15,000. Any leads and/or thoughts would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS.
