Visualization Of Changing Data
Nov 13, 2007Hello,
I'm working on a distributed application which requires data from a central database to be shown to various users. In particular users should be able to open "views" on the database, specifying the data they are interested in, and being shown the result.
This can be easily accomplished modeling the view specifications as SQL select queries, sending those queries to the server, and visualizing the result. This approach is very flexible, supported, fast and definitely the way we would like to implement it.
The problem is that we have an additional requirement.
In general the data the users might be interested in is not static, and when that data changes, those changes should be propagated to the client views.
There are lots of solutions and technologies aimed to solve very similar problems, but no one seems to support this scenario well.
1. You can re-run the queries every x time (polling)... but this is hardly an option when you have hundreds of client-views that require data to be updated in real-time (so "x time" should be, say, 1 second).
2. You can use query notification... but the documentation explicitily says it doesn't scale well and shouldn't be used with a large number of clients (which is exactly what is needed in this case).
3. You can use replication services... but this technology doesn't really seem to be created to support this scenario.
4. You can use notification services... but even this technology seems to be focused on different scenarios. I haven't looked at it extensively anyway.
5. You can use DML triggers to track data changes... but you still don't have the publish-subscribe mechanism to register client views and the mechanism to know which client views are affected by the changes.
6. You can implement a business logic tier that relates modification requests to client views... and basically do everything from scratch without using existing services.
What are your opinions?
Thank you,

Microsoft Time Series Web Visualization
Dec 7, 2007Hi
How can I visualize Microsoft Time Series prediction chart for web users? (for Internet Explorer browser)
Is there a way to do it using Reporting Services or special web controls?
I hoped Data Mining Web Controls helped me but they didn't support Microsoft Time Series.
-------------------------
Supported Algorithms
At this time, Data Mining Web Controls include the following:
- DMClusterViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Clustering algorithm.
- DMDecisionTreeViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Decision_Trees algorithm.
- DMNaiveBayesViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Naive_Bayes algorithm.
Models using other algorithms cannot be displayed with the Web controls.

Is there a way to visualize Microsoft Time Series in browser ?
When will there be such facility?

Sampling Data Set Via Integration Services Data Flow For Data Mining Models Without Saving Training And Test Data Set?
Nov 24, 2006Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see

just fine.

Data Reader Or Data Adapter With Data Set?
Dec 4, 2007I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?

View 4 Replies View RelatedData Conversion From String To Decimal When Saving Data To SQL Server 2005 Using An ADO Recordset
Feb 12, 2008Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker
Power Pivot :: Structural Data Model Changes In Data Source Leads To Errors
Oct 12, 2015I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?

Data Flow Stuck In Phase The Final Commit Data Insertion Has Started
Jun 19, 2007Hello,
I have noticed that for one of my data-flows, the process is really long during the phase "the final commit data insertion has started".
To be accurate, the process is fast until it reaches this phase. It happens often when I load millions of lines.
The extraction is done from a database SQL Server 2005 to a database SQL Server 2005, on the same server (with the SQL Server native provider).
I used a SQL Server destination but I have tried with an OLE DB destination and it is the same situation.
Why the process could be so long during this phase?
There is a way to optimised my package to avoid that?
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks.

May 7, 2014I think I am definitely thrashing and am not getting anywhere on something I think should be pretty simple to accomplish: I need to pull the total amounts for compartments with different products which are under the same manifest and the same document number conditionally based on if the document types are "Starting" or "Ending" but the values come from the "Adjust" records.
So here is the DDL, sample data, and the ideal return rows
CREATE TABLE #InvLogData
(
Id BIGINT, --is actually an identity column
Manifest_Id BIGINT,
Doc_Num BIGINT,
Doc_Type CHAR(1), -- S = Starting, E = Ending, A = Adjust
Compart_Id TINYINT,

I have tried a combination of the below statements but I keep coming back to not being able to actually grab the correct rows.
SELECT DISTINCT(column X)
FROM #InvLogData
GROUP BY X
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT X) > 1
One further minor problem: I need to make this a set-based solution. This table grows by a couple hundred thousand rows a week, a co-worker suggested using a <shudder/> cursor to do the work but it would never be performant.

Physical Setup: 1 Data File Vs Multiple Smaller Data Files

Currently, our data file is >10GB. When I was trained onthe physical aspects of sqlserver, I was told to never create physical files[color=blue]> 2048MB each. If I did, I could expect inefficient physical storage of[/color]data and slower performance (due to the OS).Our server has 2 RAID-5 arrays. Drive c: and e: are located on the firstarray and drive d: on the second. We're running Windows 4.0 NT Server SP6with NTFS.Can someone comment on the use of 1 single large data file vs. more smallerdata files?
