I'm actually a beginner in SQL Server and I got use to a database called "Cache" where the Data itself is stored separately from the tables (Table definition), and I'm wondering if its the same in SQL Server where the Data is stored in a deferent location then the Table definition, and if so, where it could be stored?
Hi, I wanted to find the location in database objects(table/stored proc/view/function) for particular text. For example a text 'BU1032' is located in tiles and titleathor table at PUBS databse.
Hello. I have been challanged to build an application that keeps track of inventory and dates of every item that needs inspection on regular intervals. The original application was a .NET windows application and i have been tasked to "port" and improve it to a .NET C# web application. The original database was in access and i have imported everyting to SQL and all the data is in a single table. So far the table is relatively small so i decided to keep the current database design. What i need to do is to select all the items that are comming up for inspection in the comming months and present them. Each item has a uniqe article number (artnr) with the item name, category and location of the item. The location is the part i would like each items to be presented by. Basicly i would like to retrive artnr, name, type and present x number of gridviews or a sorted presentation where each item is shown inside each gw/whatever by location. I also considered moving all locations to it's own table and connect it with a PK/FK to the prinmary article table but i dont know if this will help me or not. Basicly i have no idea how i would present the items by location where each gridview/somethign else is it's own location. I could really use som help with how i can retrive and present the data so it is showed in the above manner.
On the time of installation SQL Server asking me where I wont to locate the DATA files and the PROGRAM files. It’s giving to me choice to put database AND log files on one disk and program files on separate. But what about to separate LOG and DATA files. I have RAID1 especially created on F: drive for LOG files and RAID 5 on E: for DATABASE files. When I have to separate that if not on the time of installation? How I can do that?
Hi, I am working on a new installation which I did not set up and realized was using the wrong partition of the server to store the data and log files, I have already created several databases, I want to use another partition for these databases without having to drop them and create them all over again. In BOLine i saw this command but want to make sure its safe, hope somebody can comment on this or if I am missing something.thank you
Hey all, WE have a document management system where by Adminstrators can upload documents, once the document is uploaded the binary data is stored on in a folder on the web server. We used to stored the documents in the actaul db table, but we found that there were to many documents and it was using alot of space on db server. So my boss has decided we are now going to upload the binary data onto the web server. Currently we are donig this with new documents which have been added or documents which are gettinguploaded when reloading, but there are many documents in the db table which have not been updated and are still embedded in the db table. So i need to figure out how to go about copying the data storewd in the db table and storing it in web servers folder location. I've tried various things for a enitre day but im going round in circiles. MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); BinaryReader bReader = new BinaryReader(mStream); int intFileSize = (int)mStream.Length; Byte[] byteFile = (Byte[])dtrResults["file"]; i can get to this state but then how do i create a folder on the BinaryREader to then store the binary data of the file to the location. BinaryReader bReader2 = new BinaryReader(File.Open(strDocFolder + strSavedFileName, FileMode.Create)); int count2 = bReader2.Read(byteFile, 0, intFileSize); bReader2.Close();i've also tried this but when the file gets created in the folder there is no content. i do know that the file does contain content as ive tried this and downlaoding the file from that page acctually works string strContentTpe = WValue.WStr(dtrResults["contenttype"]); int intFileSize = VValue.VInt(dtrResults["filesize"]); / Byte[] byteFile = ((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); //Downloads the data correctly Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + WValue.WStr(dtrResults["docfilename"]) + """); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", WValue.WStr(intFileSize)); Response.ContentType = strContentTpe; Response.BinaryWrite(byteFile); I hope ive made some snese andthat someone can hlep me. Have a nice dayZal
During installation of SQL Server 2000 I set the default location for data files as D:MySQLServer which resulted in the location D:MySQLServerMSSQL.
I then installed SQL Server 2005. I do not remember being given the option of specifying location for the Data Files. Then I read that the location for named instances is deteremined by the first installation of SQL Server. The location for the data files for SQL Server 2005 turned out to be MSSQL.1 but under C:Program Files.....
I want the default location for SQL Server 2005 to be under D:MySQLServer, something like D:MySQLServerMSSQL.1. How do I do I change the default location for the Data Files.
I added a secondary data file to TEMPdb yesterday and gave it a wrong location by mistake. If I try to change the location, then I am getting an error now. I think that is because TEMPdb is in use and that is why I cant change it's secondary file's location. Do I need to take TempDB offline and then change the secondary file's location??
Hey everyone I've got this question that has me stuck for the last few days but its an important part of my website.....What I am trying to do is basicly have a user be able to upload a file, have that uploaded file plus some other info automaticly display on other parts of my site, and have a different user eventually be able to download that file....I have thought about allowing the file upload as a BLOB but still cannot find a proper way to execute this using VB, plus I have heard that this way of doing it is not reccommeneded cause databases were not designed to store large files like this, lots of articles recommened having the file upload to a Folder on your server then get the binary data for the file that can be placed in a database to refrence that particular file.....Well this also proves to be a lot harder then said here is what I got so far (written in C#) protected void UploadBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (FileUpLoad1.HasFile) {
FileUpLoad1.SaveAs(@"C:Documents and SettingsAdamMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsWebsiteFiles" + FileUpLoad1.FileName); Label1.Text = "File Uploaded: " + FileUpLoad1.FileName; } else { Label1.Text = "No File Uploaded."; } } and here is the asp part of the code that goes with it<asp:FileUpLoad id="FileUpLoad1" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label> Now from what I know is I need to get the binary of the file which I have read you can do with the Page.Request.Files statement but again not sure how I would impliment this. Does anyone have any suggestions on which way I should take when dealing with this should I try and just use the BLOB method or use the binary refrence method? and if so how would I impliment this, heck even some good tutorials on the subject would be great... Thanks.....Adam
there are several remote locations where sql is running, my company has asked me to find a way to collect all the data from the remote locations to a central location automatically,for example day to day data should be synced at night time from 2am to 7 am and it should be compressed automatically before data transfers to the central location. NOTE there is no domain only standalone workstations
Where is a package visible when running the Data Import/Export wizard, choosing to save a package, and choosing "SQL Server" as the location? When I make an SSIS connection in Management Studio I do not see the package under the "MSDB" node.
It is very intersting to find out that when we are backuping a database we are not able to specify a shared folder .Why?Is it because security concern or it is idenfied as bug or is there any work around.Only thing we are able to specify is that it points to the local drive of the particular server. Help would be more appericated.
Does anyone know where a good article pertaining to where you should locate your Data and Log files (in SQL Server 2005)? I read an article several years ago stating that Log files should be on a seperate RAID 1 and Data on a seperate RAID 5. Anyway, any help is appreciated.

Can someone tell me what the default installation location is for SQL 2000? Is it different for the default instance compared to a named instance? What about the tools? It seems to me I read something about the tools defaulting to the program filesmicrosoft SQL Server directory.
I guess I'm more concerned about each instance and the location of those files. I don't necessarily like the idea of each instance installing to the program files directory, if that's the default.
We have three separate disks for our sql server. Disk c : system Disk d : data Disk e : logs
A couple of months ago our IT manager moved the tempdb database from the c drive to the d and e drives because it had grown to 9Gb and the c drive had run out of space. When I discovered this, I shrank tempdb back to it's specified size of 1.9Gb and now I want to move it back to the c drive because I believe we will see better performance with the system + tempdb together than with the data/logs + tempdb together. Am I correct?
A couple of notes. Server is used exclusively by SQL server. We have three large databases (40Gb, 20Gb, 15Gb), three databases around 4Gb databases and around 15 smaller databases. Most of them are accessed exclusively from a web application.
Easy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.
We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB
Here are my options
1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance 2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)
What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.
I hope someone can give me some tips on how to implement a nice solution.
I need a table to store distances between 2 locations.
First thought was to make a table like this - id - fromid - toid - distance
However distances can be used in both directions. So a search to get distance between xx and yy would be: select distance where (fromid = xx and toid = yy) or (fromid=yy and toid=xx)
A unique index (fromid, toid) would make sure no double entries are made, but this still doesn't deny anyone from changing from and to and entering a distance in the other direction (from yy to xx)
Any suggestions for a cleaner db design ? Ideally one where searches don't need the or, or where the db design can restrict people from entering a distance in the other direction ? I could force something in business logic to sort locations alphabetically but that also seems like a dirty trick..
Hi again,I am able to schedule a backup and default it to the server. However, isthere an option or a way to locate the backup somewhere else on the network?regards,gilbert
I have an installation of SQL2005 SP1 configured as follows:
Dell Poweredge 2650 with 4 GB RAM c:, d: and e: are all on the local host and f: and g: drives are on a SAN. I have the system db's on the e: local disk and the Team Foundation Server databases and logfiles on the SAN disks. SQL2005 is installed to the E: disk.
We are migrating VSS to TFS and our times are very long for a simple 1 GB migration.
I need to know if I need the application databases and logfiles and system databases on the same disk because I see a lot of disk thrash and the tempdb is getting large, 3 GB today.
SQL architecture - should the system db's be on the same disk as the application db's?
When the battery dies the SQL Ce installation vanishes. Especially the following dlls which were copied into the Windows directory during installation are getting vanished when the battery dies.
I guess this is because of the fact that RAM content vanishes when the power goes off.
Is there a way i could install the SQL CE in the Storage Card?
I can install the Compact Framework in the Storage Card but not the SQL CE.
I have installed the CF, My application in the Storage Card. Just because of this SQL CE does not allow me to choose the installation directory, i have to install the SQL CE everytime the battery dies out.
How do you know what exactly to use as the database name?
In school the prof says he is not exactly a database programmer but gave us some code he had from an old one. That code worked fine if you want to actually connect to the database at school but I want to send everything right through sqlexpress on my own machine so I can work on the programs at home.
The following is the code to connect to the school database, how would I change it to connect through sqlexpress instead?

1. If you are managing databases in SQL Express with SQL Server Managment Express CTP, why doesnt VBE place the database there where you can see them? I can create a database inside SQL Server Managment Express CTP and view its tables, relations,etc. from within SQL Server Managment Express CTP, but when I make a database with VBE it does not show up in SQL Server Managment Express CTP. Also the database that was made inside SQL Server Managment Express CTP cannot be seen from VBE. Why? what did I do wrong, or is it supposed to be like that? Is that where you would want to place a database for multiple pc to share?
2.Login Question ;-----shouldnt post this here but,
Is there a reason why you dont want to use SQL Authetication over Windows? The are a few pcs here that doesnt have user accounts installed(I know that not a good practice, but when you have multiple people needing different data quickly- switching users is not preferred, its a time thing for what I would call dummy terminals).
How do you take an instance of SQL and change to SQL Authetication over windows?
