SQL 2012 :: Connection Properties Versus SSMS Server Properties
Mar 16, 2015I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?
Problem Displaying Image Data From SQL Server
Apr 12, 2007Hello,I'm having problems saving and then displaying binary data in sql server.I have a form that takes a file specified by the user and inserts this into sql server:protected void btnUploadFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (theFile.PostedFile != null) { if (theFile.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0) { byte[] docBuffer = new byte[theFile.PostedFile.ContentLength]; Response.Write(theFile.PostedFile.ContentType.ToString()); if (docBuffer.Length > 0) { // save to db DbAccess dbAccess = new DbAccess(); // my helper function for all db access etc try { dbAccess.BuildCommand("Incentives_SaveDocument"); dbAccess.Parameters.Add("@docImage", SqlDbType.Image).Value = docBuffer; dbAccess.ExecuteNonQuery(); } catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex.ToString()); } } } } }Stored proc:ALTER PROCEDURE Incentives_SaveDocument @docImage imageASSET NOCOUNT ONINSERT INTO Table1 (theData) VALUES (@docImage) RETURNThis appears to work fine. I store the binary data in a image column and if I query the db it shows the row as <Binary>.The problem I have is with retrieving the data and saving it to a file. The file saves OK but when I open it is contains lots of "squares" that I suppose are the binary - it doesn't show the text.The code for retrieving/displaying the doc is:protected void btnView_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DbAccess dbAccess = new DbAccess(); byte[] byteArray = null; try { dbAccess.BuildCommand("Incentives_RetrieveDocument"); dbAccess.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.Int).Value = 6; // id for the doc to return SqlDataReader reader1 = dbAccess.ReturnDataReader(); while (reader1.Read()) { if (reader1.HasRows) { byteArray = (byte[])reader1["theData"]; } } reader1.Close(); FileStream fs = new FileStream("file1", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write); fs.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length); fs.Flush(); fs.Close(); FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo("file1"); HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear(); HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileInfo.Name); HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", fileInfo.Length.ToString()); HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword"; HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(fileInfo.FullName); HttpContext.Current.Response.End(); } catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex.ToString()); } finally { dbAccess.CloseDbConnection(); }The stored proc:ALTER PROCEDURE Incentives_RetrieveDocument @id intASSET NOCOUNT ONSELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE id = @id RETURNI would be grateful for any advice on this - its the first time I've worked with BLOB data.ThanksSi

How To Change The Data Path Specified In The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Service Properties?
Apr 18, 2007I have connected to the SQL Server 2005 instance usign the SQL Server Management Studio; I have changed the default locations for the database and log files. I have also rebooted the machine.

How can this can changed without going through the registry?

Mar 8, 2007Hi,
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In
my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to
edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the

I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid".
In
the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display

How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?

We are using SQL Server 2008 as our database and use Access as a GUI. I am looking to create a form in Access where employees can access their time card and request changes from management. I want to use the format from the attached screen shot for the form. I pretty much know how to do it all, the only point of complication is trying to figure out the easiest way to get the transaction punch record data on employee_punch_record into a format where I can easily populate the form in the horizontal format you see in the screen shot.
I am not super strong in SQL, but figure I can do it using a formatting table of some sort. quick and easy way to move transaction records into a more horizontally oriented record?
Data Flow Properties Missing
Mar 21, 2008Hi,
I have SQL Server 2005/BIDS installed on a 64-bit server. When I open an SSIS package the properties window for each of the Data Flow tasks is empty. The properties window is there and displays correctly for other types of task but for the Data Flows it only shows the name of the task. To further compound my misery if I try to open a package that dynamically sets a property of a Data Flow task (using an expression) the package fails to open with errors concerning reading the XML of the package.
Packages containing Data Flow tasks still run on this server (both in BIDS and using dtexec) as long as they don't contain expressions that set any Data Flow properties.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Displaying One Data Record
Jun 30, 2007Hi all, this is a very basic question of diplaying a data. on my aspx page I have datasource that will return only ONE record.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsCategoryName" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:KaruselaConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT Title FROM tbh_Categories WHERE CategoryID=@categoryID "> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="-1" Name="CategoryID" QueryStringField="id" Type="int32"/> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
on the server side I would like to manipulate the title of the page according to the data returned from the query:
and on the behind code if (!this.IsPostBack && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Request.QueryString["ID"]))
{
DataView dv2 = (DataView)sdsCategoryName.Select(arg);
this.Title = string.Format(this.Title, dv2.Table.Columns[0].ToString());
dv2.Dispose();
}
of course it doesn't work. my question is this. do we really have to put the query datasource on the client side?and secondly, how can I view the recorsd I recieves from the query?Thanks for the help.

Displaying Duplicate Data
Jun 15, 2007Hi. Not sure which section this request needs to be put in, but i'm relatively new to SQL.
I have 1 table which contains an user_id (autonumber), user_name, and user_profile.
I have 2 other tables:
config_version (cv) and config (c)
These two tables both access the user table (us) to view the user_id (which is required).
I want to be able to view the user_names for both "cv" and "c" on a seperate page. Using the code below, i'm lost. I created what i wanted in MS Access with the use of a 2nd table (this might be easier to understand than my rant above). However, I don't want a 2nd table.
Can someone provide me with a function, or the "answer" to my problem?
Highlighted Blue - just there to fill in the front page with data (not wanted)
Highlighted Green - doesn't work, but was my first attempt
Code:
public function ShowQuotes
Dim objConn
Dim objADORS

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = strConn
objConn.Open
Set objADORS = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
strSQL = "Select top 50 "
strSQL = strSQL & " cv.config_version_id as cvid, cv.configuration_id as cid, cv.version_number as cnum"

Matrix Displaying Data
Oct 1, 2007
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my first matrix report.
I am using a stored procedure that generates the following data:
Item Color Size Qty
Shorts Tan 32 0
Shorts Tan 34 2
Shorts Tan 36 2
Shorts Tan 38 0
The matrix displays as follows:
34 36
Shorts Tan 2 2
I would like it to display as follows:
32 34 36 38
Shorts Tan 0 2 2 0
It seems that by default (I used the wizzard to create the report) that the zeros are being suppressed. How can I get them to display?
Thanks

Arithmetic Expressions And Data Displaying
Feb 21, 2008Hello, Im new to SQL. Im currently having a table called Daily with 5 columns. TesterNames,Activity,Hours_given,Hours_used and Delta. I have grabbed the data for the first three colums from another table called Tester. For Hours_used I supposed to get the data from another server after i get the access but mean time i just put my own data so that i can check the value of Delta. Data for Delta column should be as below.
Delta = Hours_given - Hours_used
So How do I do the codings for this expression and display it in the same table. Output I need as below:
TesterNames Activity Hours_given Hours_used Delta
abc A 5 6 -1
def B 7 6 1
I have used
INSERT INTO Daily ( TesterNames,Activity,Hours_given)
SELECT ( Tester_ID,Weekday_Day,EntityWDD)
FROM Tester
and the first 3 columns are filled with the data needed. But when I use
INSERT INTO DAILY(Delta)
SELECT Delta = Hours_given - Hours_used FROM DAILY
The output was like below
TesterNames Activity Hours_given Hours_used Delta
abc A 5 6
def B 7 6
Null Null Null Null -1
Null Null Null Null 1
Help me . thank you.
Data Not Displaying (in DataList) From SQL On GoDaddy
Apr 22, 2006Everything works great on my development box. I am using GoDaddy for production (ASP.Net v2, SQL 2000).
I am not receiving any errors, so I am stumped; no data from the database is displaying on the GoDaddy pages.
I updated the connection string in web.config to this:
< add name="snsb" connectionString="
Server=whsql-vXX.prod.mesaX.secureserver.net;
Database=DB_42706;
User ID=username;
Password=pw;
Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" / >
But I am unsure if this is the issue?? Any insights? This is the page I am working on: www.sugarandspicebakery.com/demo/bakery/default.aspx. So, the page displays fine, but it should be showing data from the database. This particular page uses a DataList with ItemTemplate. There is definitely data in the database, and I have even ran the same exact query from the code using the Query Analayzer on GoDaddt and it returned results
I know there isn't much info to go by, but I am hoping someone has some insight since I have been trying to figure this out for days now!
Thank youJennifer

Implementing A Simple Data Dictionary Via Extented Properties
Jun 25, 2007Hi,
I'm thinking of implementing a rudimentary Data Dictionary for a database using extended properties to store table and column descriptions.
Does having this information for every table and column in a database (200 tables; 2000 columns) cause any (negative) impact on database performance? I'm guessing it shouldn't but want to make sure before implementing this in the production environment.
Thanks,
Smitha

View 2 Replies View RelatedDisplaying Data In Datagrid From A Normalized Set Of Tables
Jul 23, 2007Ok, I'm fairly new to .NET and even newer to the whole database concept. But, don't run away yet, I'm no idiot and I shouldn't have too hard of a time understanding your responses if you're kind of enough to give them. That being said, here's my dilemma:I'm trying to make a database of all the movies I own, the actors in them and the genre (s) they belong to. I have a set of tables that are in the 2NF (I think). I have a movies table, an actors table, a genres table, and two tables called movies_actors and movies_genres with primary-foreign key relationships to pull it all together (e.g. movie_id 1 has two entries in movies_genres, one for Action and one for Drama). My problem arises that when execute my monster query to pull ALL the data on one movie, I get a row returned for every combination of Genres and Actors in a movie. Example:movie_id movie_title comments actor_first actor_last genre_name1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Action1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Drama1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Action1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Drama And here's the query that produced that:1 SELECT movies.movie_title, movies.comments, actors.actor_first,
2 actors.actor_last, genres.genre_name
3 FROM movies INNER JOIN movies_actors ON movies.movie_id = movies_actors.movie_id
4 INNER JOIN actors ON movies_actors.actor_id = actors.actor_id
5 INNER JOIN movies_genres ON movies_genres.movie_id = movies.movie_id
6 INNER JOIN genres ON movies_genres.genre_id = genres.genre_id
So, I want to put all the actors for one movie into the same cell in the datagrid (same with the genres) and still keep it sortable by actor or genre. Is this possible with the .NET 2.0 datagrid? Do I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how my tables should be structured? Am I just really far off and acting like a n00b?
Displaying Parent / Child / Grandchild Data
Nov 27, 2007I am working on an ASP.NET site to display information about authors and books. I'm working on the Author page right now and I'm having trouble getting it to display the data I want.
I'm trying to do everything with declarative controls and as little code-behind as possible.
I have a datasource on the main page that selects the Author data and provides this to a FormView. Inside the FormView is another datasource that takes the AuthorID as a parameter and selects the list of books, which is provided to a DataList.
Inside the DataList I display some limited Book information. I also want to display some child items of the Book (grandchildren of the author), for example other authors who contributed to that book, or alternative titles. I have tried using datasources in each DataList row with a parameter set to the BookID, and it works just great, but the response time is just not acceptable. Each datasource of possible several dozen is making its own call to the database and it's just too slow.
If I use code I can grab all the data in one operation and use relations in the DataBinding event (I believe) to select the data I want, but this is a bit cumbersome and I expect will cause trouble if I want to eventually use an ObjectDataSource.
Incidentally, on a display-only page I use the XMLDataSource and it works great, but I need read-write access on the Edit page.
Is there a good way to do what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
Graham
