First of all, Great webcast today. My question is, I have everything up and running and would like to know what to do when the machine my primary is on quits or has a some type of disaster. Do I need to manually run recovery on each db that was mirrored? I'm not currently running a witness.
I have database on localhost and i want to show this data on my website. I want to create a database online and want to sync with Local Host. Can it be possible syncing data automatically after some interval?
I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.
Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.
Ray? Craig? You guys seem to know all, so jobs.com appreciates your input...
Our auditors are trying to enforce a requirement that all users be disconnected from any application or database after 15 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to force a logoff within SQL Server? For example, someone is in Management Studio connected to a database. They should be logged off after 15 minutes of no activity.
When I create a setup program for my vb.net 1.0 app which has embedded sql express database, it successfully copies the database to the new machine alone with the upgraded app.
However, if I just copy the vb.exe app to the other pc and also copy the mdf, ldf files, I get an error opening the sql database.
I am presuming that the setup program does some kind of backup restore or detach, attach to copy in the .mdf.
If the user cannot do this from the management studio (or if they do not have the management studio installed), is there any way I can create some method to have this copying done automatically via some code by the user?
For a GPS utility project we are planning on extracting certain attributes from a huge "GPS Raw Data" read only database which we have access to containing GPS data from several years from several devices attached to vehicles.The data is time stamped. Where the time gap between pieces of data is more than 10 minutes, a new trip is instance is assumed and in our write access "Trip" database we create a new instance for the data clump with a new trip id along with the time range of the data. The process is to be run hourly to update the "Trip" database with new trips and append to overlapping trips. We've some questions:a) Is it easy to read from one database and write into another in c# hourlyb) How would one go about running a C# program automatically every hour on the server?c) Is there a better way to do this than an hourly update? (dynamically perhaps??)d) When querying the database and comparing the time stamps, how for instance would we go about identifying a 10 minute gap when the time/date is in the format "22/12/2007 11:25:00". I can't get my head around actually writing this - it's probably ridiculously simple
I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks
I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?
I been asked recently in the interview thatHow can I detect changes automatically in the SQL Server Database when anything is updated, deleted or inserted?if anyone can help me in this that will be really great. I dont actually know whether I can ask this here but I wanted to know the answer for this and thought this might be right place to ask? sorry if I am wrong? Thanks in Advance
Hello! I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home. I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server. Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database? Thanks Bex
I need to update one table in database A based on the other database B, which is on a romote server. The requirement is to update it automatically at 12:00 in the mid-night everyday. Database A is MS SQL Server 7, and database B is Oracle database.
What's the best to implement it? I thinking to use trigger, am I right?
I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).
Dear group,I have to replicate remote data to a SQL Server in the headquarter.The data are on a site which does not have permanent online-connectionto the headquarter.I have written a script which replicates the data and i want to set upa process / batch on the headquarter-machine which roughly does thefollowing1) Connect to the remote site2) start replication script (in fact a stored procedure)3) on success disconnect from the remote siteAll this has to run automatically e.g. during nighttime.Could someone please outline how i set up the connection and keep itup during my database-action and how to automatically disconnect aftersuccess of my replication script.I'd be jolly grateful.Thanks in advance and Greetings from ViennaUli

Hi I would like to get more information about using detail view together with auto date/time. I am designing user input form as follow. tid : uid : tool : priority: reticle: status: remarks: request time : <- to autogenetrate current timeInsert Cancel How to use date/time function inside detailed view, insert template.
our clients have the flexibility to detach and attach databases (I know there are a lot of considerations around this but there is now way of changing it), once they attach a database we need to run some code to update a bunch of values in the database.
Other than creating a SQL Agent job are there any other options available to automatically execute a script once the database has been attached?
I come cross some post about how to backup a database in Sql Server Management Studio Express automatically. The scripts look like as below
USE [master] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase] @databaseName sysname AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000) DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20) SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),'/','') + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),':','') SET @sqlCommand = 'BACKUP DATABASE ' + @databaseName + ' TO DISK = ''C:Backup' + @databaseName + '_Full_' + @dateTime + '.BAK'''
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand END
It throws that the DDL statement is not allowed. What's wrong with it?
We have a production server "prod" which has a user say 'test' that lets the users connect to the application and a logon trigger which stops them from connecting to the server through SSMS. I log ship 'prod' to the 'rep' database and the user 'test' is obviously created in the logshipped database 'rep' during the logshipping.
Now the login 'test' does not have any login from server 'rep', But people can still login to the 'rep' server and query the 'rep' db . I checked with SUSER_SNAME and found the SID of the user in rep server which I never created and which is not even present in the login names, Even If I create a new username in the 'prod' db, after logshipping the new user is replicated in the 'rep' server.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
The problem that I am having is that with Visual Web Developer I am creating a webpage and having it directly put online, so for example when I start a new ASP.NET page, I select the location to be HTTP, with the location http://MYWEBSERVER/Website and for the language and Visual BasicI notice a couple of things, first that there is no longer a a link under the Main toolbar "Website" selection called the ASP.NET configuration. So how can I configure what I want to have users be able to do? It seems that this choice is only available if I am building the ASP.NET page on my "localhost". So that is the first problem. So I am able to get the pages to work, atleast the things such as the textboxes to show up etc, (Even things as advanced as the "Login" box). How ever when I try to get someone to try to login I am taken to a page that has an server error. The error is: "The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file. " The Stack Trace Errors are at the bottom. I think this is happening because the automatically generated databases are not getting built online as they are on my computer. On my computer I have MSSQL express. So either the databases are not getting built for some reason, (and I think that is the case as I don't see any in the folder). So I think that somehow I have to create a database on my server, and then somehow configure the ASP.NET file, perhaps in the Web.Config file to look for that new database. Is this the correct methodology? Is there some simpler way that I can just somehow upload things as they are and have them work correctly on my server? The error says that either the Server did not find the database or that the trust level was insufficient. I don't think that is it as I just looked again and I don't see any .MDF files. So how would I go about getting this to work right? Is there a way to do this with MySQL also? So that I don't have to use MSSQL? My server only allows 1 DataBase for that. Thanks and I hope my question makes sense. It is basically how can I get it to be able to create and check users etc. online?

how is it possible to set a filed in a database to automatically add the current time to the filed at run time, is this possible; this filed has already been identified as 'DateTime' .
Hi Guys, I have a website with multiple pages and when a user signs in it puts a 1 in the database and their online status is shown to the rest of the members, if they use my signout button which I have on each page, it signs them out and updates the database with a 0 in the process, so shows them as then offline, my problem is some people forget to sign out and just close the browser window or begin surfing elsewhere. Is there a way to have sql server 2000 automatically change the field in the database after 30 minutes of inactivity. Or is there a way to automatically sign users out as they either click on the X in the browser window, or as they leave my site. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
Some of my jobs hang at FTP step for several hours until some one kills the FTP (it's a perl process) on the box. Is there a way to find how much time a particular step of the job is executing? and know it by somehow if it's hanging at that step?? If we know this,I want to kill the perl process(FTP) on the box in an automated way whenever the job hangs! Any ideas welcome!! Thanks. :-)
