i am novice about SQL and Databases...
Thank you ..
Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

hi,
I have a database whose mdb and ldb files are located in C drive.
I need to change these files to D drive.When i go to the database properties
and try to change the location it does not allow me.It has given me a message(The database physical file cannot be changed once it is created).
I can drop the table and recreate it from a BackUp but is there a better way
to do this.
Thank you,
Hi,
I'm using Database Maintenance Plans in Enterprise Manager and I'm trying to backup a database to a different server using a UNC (i.e. \servernameackupdirectory).
I have done this successfully with two SQL Servers but every time I try to set the third SQL Server to backup to a UNC I get this message:
The complete database backup directory '\servernameackupdirectory' is invalid.
The only differences that I can think of is that the server is Win2000 Advanced Server and the SQL Server is Enterprise Edn, where as the two that work are Standard Edn and are on Win2000 Servers (not Advanced).
Does anyone know why I am unable to do this on one SQL Server when I have had no trouble on the other two SQL Servers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there anyway to load all the raw data in one directory into the database? l've several files with same format but different filename in one folder which l do not know their filename before hand.
Is SSIS For Each Loop can help me to accomplish the file loading? If so, where can l find the example?
Thanks you.

Which is better, to store the files onto the server's folders or to a database?
I tried storing to MSSQL 2000 but the varbinary does not allow me to set "MAX" for the data type.
Hello
I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.
Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.
My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to.
He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.
The users is using SQL Server authentication.
Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?
What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
Hi
After install the mdf and log files are stored in the Program Files directory tree.
How do I change the place were they are stored to a path of my own choice, so that new DBs get created there too?
I've looked though the docs, but I can't find this.

Hi,
As stated in the subject, I need to import a complete directory structure, from a root folder that I specify into a SQL Server database. To add further complexity, I also need to see what files exist in each directory.
At the end of the day what I am trying to achieve is to populate a table that will essentially have two columns, the filename and the directory that the file resides in. I am running SQL Server 2005.
Has anybody ever done anything like this before using T-SQL?
Thanks in advance.
Hi folks,
Can you please tell me how should I change the default root directory (used for db storage) in SQL 2005 Std. Edition. ?
Currently its configured to:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL
and I want to change the drive letter here.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to find a solution to a thorny problem I have encountered...
I am a newbie in Sql Server 2000, but have quite a bit of experience in databases, both on PC and mainframe.
I am currently writing a program, which needs, among other things, to create Sql Server databases, to be located NOT in the default Mssql2000 directory, but in the user's home directory.
I am using an ADO connection and trying to execute it, as follows:
The text of the relevant part of the program goes like this:
Dim strCreateDatabase As String
Dim MyCn As ADODB.Connection
Set MyCn = New ADODB.Connection
With MyCn
.ConnectionTimeout = 25
.Provider = "sqloledb"
.Properties("Data Source").Value = "MOP"
.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = ""
.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
.Open
End With
strCreateDatabase = "Create Database Rimon on (" _
& "Name = Rimon, Filename = '\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf', " _
& "Size = 20, MaxSize = 100, FileGrowth = 5) " _
& "Log on (Name = 'Rimon', Filename = 'c:usersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Log.ldf', " _
& "Size = 2, MaxSize = 10, FileGrowth = 1)"
MyCn.Execute strCreateDatabase
Both the name of the Sql Server and the Win2K server is MOP.
All the directories exist, and I have full access to them.
When I try to run this command, I get the following message:
File
'\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf' is on a network device not supported for database files.
When I omit this location, it works just fine.
If I run it on the server, using another directory, it works just fine.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I need to add one of our servers to active directory. I found some documents on SQL 2000 but no good document on SQL 2005. Can you please guide me to the documentation for this? Thanks
Hi all! I know I might sound stupid, but I have this problem. I have developed my database on my laptop which does not use Active directory. Lets say I access the database with: SPIDERMANDB1 on SQL server, where the name of my laptop is SPIDERMAN, and the database is DB1. Now, I create an SQL script from sql server and make the necessary changes, like changing the computer name to say, SUPERMAN where my deployment server's name is SUPERMAN. But when I run the SQL script on the SUPERMAN server, it gives me an error like: "User or role SUPERMANDB1 does not exist in this database". I have deployed databases in this way on servers without Acive directory, so I'm sure its not a mistake on my side. So how am I supposed to go around this active directory thingi! Please help me out! I'm counting on u guys!

Hey guys,
I have a procedure that runs everyday which takes the IIS log file from the previous day and imports it and calcs values. I would like to change this from taking the previous day to scanning all the file names in the folder and comparing them to a database to see if they have already been scanned before. I already have a table called DatesScanned which lists the filename and scandate.
IE:
D:Logsfile1.log
D:Logsfile2.log
D:Logsfile3.log
D:Logsfile4.log
The 4 file names will be scanned and compared to DatesScanned to see which has been imported already.
Can anyone point me to a resource or information on how I would get the directory listing of a folder so I could compare it to the DatesScanned table.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Guys,
Windows XP, IIS 5.1
I have written an installer that creates an MS SQL Database, creates the
necessary data tables and then imports the data into the data tables. All
this works fine.
I now need to copy the web pages to a directory on the users machine and
then make the chosen directory a virtual directory so the user can call the
pages in the usual way (http://localhost/mytestsite/index.html)
Would anyone know how to create a virtual directory using dos command line parameters. I have seen something using "IIsVdir.vbs" but I do not have this script file.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve.

I do a lot of file processing and I usually run a little script I copyand paste to read directory information to see if a new file it thereand then process the file if it is. So, I decided to wise up and makea stored procedure to automate a lot of that.The pivotal step in this is that i run a command that looks like:CREATE TABLE #DIR (FileName varchar(100))DECLARE @Cmd varchar(1050)SET@Cmd = 'DIR "' + @Path + CASE WHEN RIGHT(@Path, 1) = '' THEN ''ELSE '' END + @WildCard + '"'INSERT INTO #DIREXEC master..xp_CmdShell @CmdWhen I run the stored procedure I get back the files and folders inthere that match the wildcard and all is good!!!!....Until I try to put that information into a table while calling thatstored procedure:CREATE TABLE #Files (Path varchar(100),FileName varchar(100),PathAndFileName varchar(150),FileDateTime SmallDateTime,FileLength int,FileType Varchar(10))INSERT INTO #FilesEXEC sp_GetFileNames @Path = '\isoft2ftpLegacyBilling', @Wildcard= '*.txt'When I run this I get:Server: Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_GetFileNames, Line53An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.Because I use an INSERT EXEC to with the results from the @Cmd.Anybody have any ideas how I can get that information into a table?I did try to just copy the data to c: empdir.txt and then bulkimport it in. But when it runs the @Cmd to create the file it comesback with a NULL value and my stored procedure returns two sets ofvalues... which I can't do.So, I would appreciate anybody who can help.Thanks!-utah

Hi,
I have developed a SSIS package .The main objective of this package is generating the output file in a configured location after applying all the business logic.
I am executing this package from SQL Server agent job. The job would fail if the login Id (current SQL login in which Sql job is executing) does not have permissions in the specified folder.
So Please let me know If I can check whether the login user have enough permissions on the configured folder.(We all know we can use scrpt task in SSIS , in which we can write VB.Net code as well , It would fine if any one can provide VB.Net code for this scenario).
Thanks ,

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my the server that runs SQL Server to an Active Directory Domain Controler. Now I can't connect to the SQL Server from ASP.NET Applications when the application is not located on the local machine. The error message I get is SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
I have no problems connecting with QueryAnalyer and Enterprise Manager from my workstation. I have added the Sql Server to the directory via the "Active Directory"-tab in the Property window for my Sql Server Registration i Enterprise Manager.
If I copy a directory from the wwwroot on my workstation to the server the application has no problem to connect so the connectionstring seams to work fine.
Any ideas?

I have a question regarding BCP. We are doing a BCP operation from one machine to another machine. (i.e) Flat file from the web server are BCP on to the DB server. For this operation we have mounted the FTP directory of the web server on to the DB server. Say G: drive of the DB server is mapped to the Ftp directory of the web server.
Now when we run the BCP we get the following error.
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 6
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 53
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (Create File()).
The connection is using NAMED PIPES.
Say when we BCP out the above error message comes but the flat file is generated with out any records in it.
Are we missing any parameter settings.
Please help.
