From the sql server management studio i cannot see database properties
logical file name of mdf, location of the mdf
logical file name of ldf, location of the ldf
what setup should i change to see the properties.
How do i find who has changed the settings in the database.
basically when i looked at this morning i saw a database which is set in single user mode.when i tried to look at the errorlog i found nothing except the spid's of different people and as far as i know i think that spid's are assigned randomly depending on there availability.
Now this has happened twice recently and now i want to find out who the culprit is his username, machine name but not spid.
Can i do it if how can i.
how do i track each and every users info what he is doin and at what time.
do i need to set up or configure any options.
sometimes i also see that there is a dbcc command run by as it says winnt/system what does this mean how is this running.
Thanks in advance for ur great help.
Its very urgent because its a production machine.
Hi,
I just upgraded to SQl Server 2000 from 7, and realized that all my reports created with existing scripts no longer work fine. The reports appear corrupt. Below is an example of a report script:
declare @vSubject varchar(30),
@vMessage varchar(20)
Begin
Select @vSubject = 'Report as of :' + convert(varchar,getdate()-1,1)
Select @vMessage = 'Automatic Report'
EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'Bob',
@query = "FetchEmailData",
@attachments = 'DailyReport.wri',
@subject = @vSubject,
@message = @vMessage,
@attach_results = 'TRUE',@width = 250
End
The DailyReport.wri file appears corrupt when opened with notepad. The same happens to .xls reports too.
Are there settings I need to change or is this a SQL2K issue ?. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. SQL Server 2000 runs on Windows 2000 Adv.
Thanks.
I had an idea to put all my web design settings, css text and web content in the database..This way it would be easy for others to edit remotely. Do you guys think this would have an impact on performance if I do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn SQL Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, I was wondering if it is possible in the Add Connection dialog under Advanced settings to change the Data Source SQL server from the local .sqlexpress to a network SQL Express server. It seems as though the option is locked. I am in a doman, and using Windows Authentication. I also have TCP/IP enabled on the SQL server, and no firewall restrictions for the SQL service. Also, my account permissions should also allow me to do this.

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (8.0.50727.42) and going into the menu option Website > ASP.Net Configuration, access the security tab and all I get is an error message stating that there is a problem with the selected data store "Unable to Connect to the SQL Server Database"
I have SQL Server 2005 (Express Edition). I have created a database "NetDev" with the right connection, etc.
I can use the SQL server fine for my Windows applications, but somehow this ASp.Net Configuration tool is not making any sense.
I also used the aspnet_regsql command from framework 2.0 to create a DataBase to no avail.
Does anyone out there knows if there is a bug with this tool???
I have following table structure
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FAS_LEDGER](
[TID] [INT] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[TDATE] [DATETIME] NOT NULL,
[code].....
in this table I have 1571182 rows
the problem is someone did some changes in this LEDGER table
I can insert new rows in this table but when I try to fetch latest rows on the basis of following query then I did not get the latest row.
means
following query gives all the rows of this table
SELECT * FROM dbo.FAS_LEDGER ORDER BY TID DESC
and when I try to filter Master_code = '02-07-01-008-0001' and apply oder by TDATE I do not get latest rows
SELECT * FROM dbo.FAS_LEDGER WHERE MASTER_CODE = '02-07-01-008-0001'
ORDER BY TDATE DESC
Script to Reverse Engineer / Script out your EXISTING database mail settings?
I set up a profile to use gMail, and it seems logical for me to export out the settings to a script, then run the script on my laptop, other servers, etc.
There's no built in option, so I figured i'd ping the forum before i do it myself.
There are example scripts where you fill in the blanks, examples how to set up dbmail, but i did not find anything that scripts out existing settings.
Hello all...
I am working on a project that contains several databases in SQL and many settings. The problem I am encountering is that I want to be able to update the program for all my customers. That is no problem.
The problem I am meeting is where, when the program is updated, all the settings and all the information in the databases reverts to the default values, or the values that were compiled with the new update.
I want to be able to update their program without deleting all the settings they have.
Thanks,

Hi There
We currently have the following scenario:
4 app servers with regional date and time settings of locale A.
1 database server with locale settings B.
What is happening is that timestamps are being generated on the app servers, these are then in a sql command which fails on the database server since the timestamp format is invalid.
It was suggested that we change the regional locale settings of the database server, but will this not have serious implications , for example every current timestamp format in the datbase will become invalid?
In a nutshell is it safe to change a database servers regional date time locale settings ? Or are there serious implications?
Thanx
I am running AWE on SQL 2000 (the server has 8 gig of RAM). I have the SQL Server set to use a max of 6 gig. The server hung unexpectedly (SQL showed no errors or signs). Has anyone had any problems with using AWE, and or any suggestions or changes I might need to do?
Thanks
Hi,
Can i check installation settings for SQL Server 6.5 ... like what sort order id. has been choosen etc. ? by any query ?
Thanks
New SQL2000 installation into which I've copied data from multiple SQL7 installations. Some of the databases I've copied over from a SQL7 server with code page 850, sort order/collation 42, using the detach-copy mdf/ldf-attach procedure outlined elsewhere on this site (thank you). Other databases have been DTS'd from another SQL7 server with code page 850, sort order/collation 44.
In the end I want all databases to be in the default Latin1_General_CI_AI collation I've chosen for my installation.
I'm off to immerse myself in collation papers and alter database documentation from BOL, but was hoping someone could enlighten me in a less painful way.
Thanks,
Al
Hi all
I've got a problem with an American software vendor, who's asked me to check and adjust the regional settings within SQL Express 2005, installed on an XP SP2 pc
I'm scanning meta data into this database
If I enter a date field with a UK date format, I get an error in the SQL logs
If I enter a date field with a US date format, everything is fine
The XP box is setup with all UK region settings
I've been told that my SQL install should automatically use the region settings from whatever OS that it's installed on
I've checked everywhere within SQL, and it all looks to be setup with UK region settings
I suggested to the software vendor that the problem lies with their software
Can anyone suggest if I've missed anything, or where I should be checking my region settings within SQL?
Kind Regards

When SQL Server and Web site are both on same machine,
it runs fine, can get data and display in web page.
but when trying to get data from remote SQL Server, it gives error.
What's the setting for SQL server configure and security settings
in different versions?
MS SQL 2000 | MS SQL 2005
==============================================
Framework 1.x ? | ?
Framework 2.0 ? | ?
Thanks alot.
Please provide some setting help for the ?
is there a simple manual how to setup RS.
with the administrators group im able to view my reports. but normal users are not able to view anything. they can enter reporting services, but not open a report.
I am sure I'm being blind here (it wouldn't be the first time - and won't be the last time).
I have a package that retrieves some values from SQL table to allow me to dynically create an email message, so it retrieves To Addresses, From Address, Header, Body from a table, populates variables, and uses expressions to assign those to the SEND MAIL TASK.
That is working (after a bit of head/wall/banging to get my default virtual SMTP server running locally).
Now I am trying to make the SMTP Server Name dynamic. The Property SMTPConnection specifies the SMTP Connection Manager to use, and not the server, so it doesn't seem as though I can configure a property on the SEND MAIL TASK to achieve this.
Now I'm focussing on using SQL Package Configurations to try and drive this. As I see it, just like XML configurations, if you change a value in the configuration source, then when the package runs, it get's that value, and uses it.
I have change the configuration value (outside of the package). I confirm it is actually changed by running a SQL Task that gets the value from the configuration table, and view the value assigned to the variable in watches. The value returned is a different value (in my case I changed it to an invalid servername), and yet the task still runs through successfully, using the previous SMTP servername.
huh?
I wanted to know if there is a way to enforce security settings on SQL 8 Server. Specifically password lengths, expiration,e tc. These servers run on a Windows Platform, so if it is not possible to enforce passwords at the database level can the windows passwords parameters be enforced for the server.
Also, how would I be able to find the last changes made to the tables within the database.
I need to place some site settings in my Report Manger.But in my Report Manager there is no Site Settings Icon.Is this installation problem please help me.
I have a page that uses an SQLDataSource web control to populate a GridView control. The SQLDataSource control uses three parameters, one of which is a text string (varchar(50)). I get timeout expired exceptions when I run the page with two specific string values, yet when I run the stored procedure in SqlSvr Management Studio, the procedure runs in 5 seconds and under 1 seconds. Being rnew to ASP.NET 2.0 and .Net in general, I have no idea where this lag is occurring. I would like to know two things:
1. What is causing the lag that causes the timeout in ASP.NET 2.0.
2. What can be done to adjust the timeout period SQLSVR, IIS, ASP.NET).
The underlying query is running as desired (considering the data it has to chew on). For all other values, data is returned almost instantanious. I can provide a copy of the query id need be.
Truly appreciate any insight you can give me!
INSERT [DELETE] failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods.
On local dev machine with SQL Express DB everything works fine. Once moved to shared hosting environment (with adjustments to web.config), insert and delete stored procedures produce the above error.
Made sure that stored procedures SET ARITHABORT ON at the beginning and OFF at the end, without success. Even SET ARITHABORT ON at DB level without success.
Suggestions appreciated

Hello all. I created an app locally with VWD Express and moved it to to our server but I am getting the following error...
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:WebApp_DataSurvey.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
This is the connectionstring from the web.config file used on the server. I did not change anything from the local copy.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SurveyConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Survey.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
What settings do I need to change in order for this to work? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
I was wondering how to change the language settings on SQL Server. The server is currently set to US English, and I was wondering how it is possible to change it to UK English. The Server Regional Settings are set to UK English.
Also, on a semi-related topic, does SQL Server store dates in a universal format, and then when data is requested does it 'translate' these dates into the format required by that particular regional setting?
Thank you for any input

Hi All - sorry for dumb question.
I changed a log-file growth from 10% to 10MB in November. Then had to do the same again today.
Is there anyway it could have (somehow) changed-back by itself?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating an image gallery system, where there is an admin andmultiple users upload images. Each user is restricted to uploading 8images.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,In the Web application I am working on, data is read from a SQL Serverdatabase. At any time, there are about 15 people browsing the web.The SQL Server database is updated with new information once everyhour. The update takes a couple of minutes. The isolation level duringthe update is so to Serialazable so that the front-end does not getany incorrect data.Now, here is my problem. When the web page is being loaded, the serverside ASP.NET code uses several SELECT statements at multiple places.For various design reasons, these SELECT statements cannot be combinedinto a single statement. As a result, it may happen that during thepage load, we get some data before an update and some data after anupdate.I am wondering if I must used a transactional lock even for the Webapplication although technically it is not updating the database.Also, after playing with various transactional settings, I noticed thefollowing behavior for the readers when a writer enters a transaction:1. If the reader app has not yet executed the query, the call to queryexecution blocks until the writer has done its job.2. If the reader app has already begun executing the query, the callis not blocked and SQL Server provides the needed isolation.I do not wish to block the readers while the update is going on.Ideally, I would like it to be such that even if the writer isupdating, the readers must continue to get the old data, that is,until the writer commits the update. However, I did not find anyisolation settings that would let me achieve this non-blockingbehavior. Am I missing something?Thank you in advance for enlightening me.Pradeep
