I have a SQL Server 2005 Express database that was designed to be used by one client. What is the best way to change the design so it can contain multiple clients that can only see data entered by users of each client organization?
Also I'm using the asp.net membership database to handle login and profiles. Can this be used with my multi client database?
Hi Everyone,I have one database file which needs to be accesable to both a .net website and a vb.net application.The application collects data from the 'real world', processes it and adds the data to the database. The Website reads data from the database and displays the data in a graphical format.Now for the problem; While the Application is connected to the database (adding data), the Website is denied acces to the database. All connections to the DB are disposed when the Application is not uploading data, but the Website continues to be locked out (making it pretty useless) Closing the Application makes the Website work fine, but of course this means no 'real world' data can be updated.Can anyone suggest what is happening here, and more importantly how to fix it? A walkthrough must be available for this problem somewhere,... I just can't find it :(Thanks all,*The Stressed One*
View 11 Replies View RelatedHi all,I've got a question concerning synchronization of multiple database clients.Consider a database, accessed by two clients. Is it guarantted, that ifclient 1 succefully commits a transaction, client 2 _instantly_ sees thechanges made by client 1?thx and regards,StephanP.S..: For MS Jet databases I know there _is_ a delay between writing datato the database and being able to read this updated value from anotherconnection,so the question refers to "real" DBMs (esp.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a situation where multiple-random client connections to SQL server get disconnected.
The workstations are not consistent, the time is not consistent, and the functions being run are not consistent. One thing that we can reproduce is that sometime, but not always, if a workstation runs a function that calls a specific stored procedure (SQL native client, ADO, SQL Server 2005 SP2), during the course of the parameter validation (after the .execute) SQL sends an ACK, RST followed by two RST TCP packet back to the client and disconnects the connection.
At the same time, several other connections across multiple computers are also dropped by SQL. However, some computers may have multiple connections to SQL and some, but not all of these will be dropped. Other computers will
not have their connections dropped at all.
No SQL server errors are logged. Trace flags 4029 and 3689 have been set.
We have the network packet traces and the SQL profiler output to show this.
This is not reproducable at any other site.
Any ideas on what this could be would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I've been running SQL Server 2005 for over three months, and have got the database up to speed. Using SSMSE for an interface.
I've have been trying to get the Intranet to link to the database (ASP), but after a little research i found we needed to change the Authentication from 'Windows Authentication' to a mix of windows auth and sql login. Needing to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
After the restart things started to go pear shaped.
Before the restart we were able to run queries from different clients at the same time (4 workstations). Now we are unable to access anything on the database if a query is running on a seperate client. As in table properties, running a query. As i've said, we were able to do this perfectly fine before the restart.
We also use other programs to generate records for the database. These programs now have difficulty connecting to the database. We've gone through the wizards and as far as we are aware things should be working. We have created extra username/logins for these programs so not one computer/client/program uses the same connection login. However, they are unable to connect even after the wizard says there is no problem connecting to the server.
Is there any *restore to factory/default settings* button? We've even tried reverting to Windows Authentication to try and solve the problem, but it didn't work, we're pretty dependant on the database for day to day operations.
Anyone with an idea as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance
Gary.

I think I will have a problem with Id’s when I do merge replication. The problem is, I have several clients (local shops) who can do additions to a (Customer) table. Other tables will link to that table (things that a customer buys) with their foreign key, so the id of this table is very important. Now, twice a day that table with customers is merged from all clients to the central server. (the table with things that the customer buys, does not needs to be merged as it only remains local).
Possible problem:
if we assign ranges to identifiers for each client (thus local shop), which will be the best option we found until so far, how can we then detect the doubles? (with doubles, we mean that when the same customer is added in two local shops for a first time, then we will have the same customer twice in the central database)(afterwards, when we delete one customer row in the central database, we might have a id conflict when we merge back to the clients -as a customer might have already bought some goods at the two different shops meanwhile-)
What’s the common practice to resolve this?
(we need to do Merge Replication, because during the day, our local shops are disconnected from the central server)
Hi!
We have multiple databases (1 per client) and we want to use reporting services for ad-hoc reporting. Our authentication is done by using client's database so security is custom.
What is the best way to set this up? Is it possible to somehow allow users/admins to use only their database and never see any others? I know we can install a separate instance of RS and do that but I am wondering if there is a better way to run multiple clients doing different reports using exclusively their databases without having to create a new instance.
Thanks
Hello,I'm looking into offering a custom data driven web app that I wrote for an organization that I'm apart of to other similar organizations. I would be hosting the data and web application code on my dedicated server. This application is using the membership api supplied in .NET 2.0 and also has my own custom data tables within it.My question is what would be the best way to add clients to this? Should I simply create a new database for each new client like so: ACME_Database, ABC_Database, AAA_Database etc. Or should I add some sort of client "Tag" (tag meaning column within each datatable) to these databases and then update my SQL queries to process them accordingly. I imagine I could do both but I guess I need some advice from people that already had experiance with providing this kind of service. Thanks!Jason
View 4 Replies View RelatedGreetings, I have a requirement for a SQL Server 2005 database to
notify 3rd Party applications of a table change. As is stands now, 3rd
Party applications access the database via a Data Access Layer (DAL)
dll (C#). I'd like to somehow implement an asychronous event
notification scheme via the same DAL to these clients.
Can someone offer a clever way to implement such events?
Broker Services? I am under the impression the SSBS is typically deployed when databases are to communicate with one another.
Triggers to call some CLR code?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
I'm trying to get the last ten unique clients viewed by each user. I have tried using the TOP (N) but it does not show the last ten just any ten.
When a user views a client record, a record is saved to the tblUserRecentViewedClients table and includes logID (key), client_id (int), username (nvarchar), lastviewed (datetime).
Here is what I have so far. Can anyone offer any suggestions?SELECT TOP (10) tblUserRecentViewedClients.UserName, tblUserRecentViewedClients.Client_ID, tblClient.FirstName, tblClient.LastName,
tblClient.CompanyName

Are there any issues with retaining both the SQL 6.5 and SQL 7.0 clients as
installed components on our desktops? We have a number of SQL 6.5 and 7.0
Servers which have some fairly specific client side requirements and I am
trying to ascertain what the potential impact is to rolling out SQL 7.0
components to a separate directory to allow all applications to coexist. My
specific concerns are with the shared DLL's in system32 and with updated
7.0 executables that share the same name (i.e. BCP, etc) and resultant path
issues.
Any feedback or articles that cover this subject would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have situation like this:
Company with one head office and one remote office. In the two offices I have two domains with two PDCs. The two networks are connected with eachother through leased line and the routers are configured properly. The SQL Server is on the PDC in head office and "local" clients connect fine. I cannot connect from the remote office. I think that I have folowing solutions:
1. make trust relationships between two domains - it will be hard a little bit because second PDC is samba on linux
2. make all clients in remote office to be members of the head office domain - potential problems if the leased line drops
3. make all clients to log in with same account as SQL Server logs locally - stupid
4. something else - what?
Thanks in advance!

We’re having trouble getting error messages to show up on clients. Our ADO research indicates that the Errors collections is populated, “automatically” – what you do with it is up to the application. Our collection is not being populated. MS says the SQLOLEDB provider has a problem (the collection is not filled) if SET NOCOUNT is OFF. We have SET NOCOUNT ON and still have the problem. We have narrowed the problem down (the example below is an abbreviated version) to “the Errors Collection is not populated if the Raiserror follows a SELECT statement that returns a recordset”.
In the code below the simple select run after the first RAISERROR appears to “block” the Error Collection. Is this by design? Are you never supposed to be able to return records and messages from the same program? We can code around it if we have to, but the documentation seems to indicate our approach is viable.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

I am someting of a newbie to SQL Server, but I am an experienced C++/C# programmer.
I have a SQL Server 2005 DB to which are connected 50 or so clients.
The clients are running my software, written in C# and connected to the server by an OleDBConnection.
These connections are long-lived; in some cases they remain for days or more.
Now and again, one of the clients causes a change to the DB (not structural, just normal adds, update and deletes).
But most of the time the clients are just viewing data in the DB.
What I need to happen is that when any item of information changes, the display of that information on any of the clients which are viewing it must be updated quickly.
It doesn't have to be instant, but a delay or more than, say, 5 seconds is unacceptable.
It is like a share-dealing or foreign exchange system (although that is not what it is) where the traders' screens have to have up-to-date information at all times.
Note that the information received by the clients does not have to describe the change in detail, just a hint to the client as to what change has happened so that the client can refresh its views.
I can think of a way of doing this but it is really nasty.
The hints would be recorded in a time-stamped table. Each client would poll every couple of seconds by calling a SP, which would return the hints which have been added since the last time that client polled.
But polling is horrible and I am sure that there must be a better way.
A route that looks promising is InfoMessages. But, reading around the subject, it looks like these cannot be unsolicited and spontaneous; they only arrive on a Connection as a result of some action on that Connection.
I may have missed something, or maybe InfoMessages are not the way to go.
Can anyone offer me any advice, please
TIA,
Paul

Hi all,
I have a couple of client programs continuously dumping data into a SQL 7.0 database. I use ODBC connections that remain open as long as the client programs are running.
The memory consumed by SQL grows until all the system memory is consumed at which point the clients freeze (SQL no longer responds). Restarting SQL Server "cures" the problem for a few hours.
I've tried limiting the amount of memory used by SQL, but this only accelerates the eventual client freeze-up. At the moment, I let SQL dynamically consume memory.
These same client programs ran fine under 6.5
Thanks for any help..

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I am having a hard time setting up an SQL Server 2000 DeveloperEdition instance for remote clients. The instance is running well andI can connect to it on the local computer. When I try connecting fromanother computer using Enterprise Manager with the server's IP as theinstance name, I always get the usual "Specified SQL Server not found"error. I have used Enterprise Manager many times to connect to localand remote servers (which were set up by someone else obviously).I used the client network utility on the client to make an alias forthis server and have it use the TCP/IP library for port 1433.I understand that SQL Server listens on port 1433 for connections. Ihave a firewall on the server and setup 1433 forwarding. But when Iuse Enterprise Manager to try to register the server, the firewalldoesn't even show a connection attempt on port 1433 (it logs allconnection attempts).When I use telnet to port 1433, the firewall logs the attempt butthere is still no connection, as if the server isn't actuallylistening on 1433 at all. I can't seem to find any help on getting theserver listening, as if it supposed to be easy to set up so I don'tknow what I'm missing. I guess I have the following questions:1) Does anything have to be done on the server side to set it up tolisten for remote client connections?2) How do I set the port on which the server listens in case I want tochange from 1433?3) Does anything have to be set up on the client side other than usingthe client network utility?4) Why does Enterprise Manager not seem to even attempt a connectionon port 1433 when I try to register this server?Any help is appreciated.

My problem comes from this situation: I have two PC connected via a network calble; on the first I have SQL Server 2005 Express, an MDF data file in a shared directory under the "Document and Settings" path, and my program written in VB .NET 2005. On the second PC I have only my program, and I would like to have it connect to and work on the MDF on the first PC.
The program on the first PC works well and uses a connection string like the following:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=<path><name>.mdf;;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I am able to access to SQL Express from the second PC (I have enabled the Client to use the right TCP ports, told the firewall to let them work and enabled the Guest user on the first PC to use SQL Express), but from Visual Studio Server Explorer I cannot reach my data file: any attempt fails telling me that I cannot open it because is in a shared location... I can only open the DBs located in the "Data Directory" of SQL Express...
In other words, what should I do to have two or more clients work on the same DB under SQL Express? Is it mandatory that the DB .MDF file resides in the "C:ProgramsMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" directory so that it can be permanently attached to SQL Express?
Thanks for your help!!!
