Document Storage
Dec 23, 2003
Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am developing a document storage application for an intranet that will store various Word, Excel, and PDF documents. Most of the examples I see utilize SQL Server and an image field rather than the FileSystem Object to store documents. My concern with this method is that some of the documents may be several hundred pages (not exactly sure of the actual file size yet, but they must be fairly large). My question is, where does the use of SQL Server become impractical for this type of application? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We're about to put together a db solution for storing and searching large quantities of documents, with SAS running on top of it. Ultimately this is going to be a data mining project. We're talking about 2 million docs per year, ranging from 1 to possibly hundreds of pages of text per doc. We'll be pulling down roughly 40,000 docs per week, most likely XML, HTML, or SGML format. The user base is actually pretty small - probably no more than 5.
My gut feeling is to go with DB2, but to be fair I wanted to see if SQL 2005 would be up to the task. I'm not very familiar with the current version, but I udnerstand there have been some big improvements in scalability. It is the policy of SAS not to make recommendations. Does this sound like something SQL 2005 could do well, or should I stick with my initial plan and use DB2?

How to implement distinct storage tiers on SQL Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)?
I want to use this SQL Feature to move files(images, videos, pdf files) from a database to a distinct database dedicated to RBS. Then I want to have several storage tiers, where objects will be saved and moved according access frequency. Old data will be arquived in cheap storage, but it must be always accessible if needed.
Description:
- 1st and main tier: new and frequently accessed objects stored in high performance storage;
- 2nd tier: automatically move older or less accessed objects to an inexpensive and different storage tier;
- in all cases, all objects must be accessible to all users, but accessing to archived objects(2nd tier) will be much slower;

I am a Windows developer for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server (TSMS) product.
Our product installation is built with InstallShield and uses the Windows Installer.
On a new installation of Windows 2003 x64 Storage Server R2, at a customer's site, the TSMS product fails to install.
The install of the OS has version 3.01.400.3959 of the Windows Installer and I see no newer version that installs.
Part of our product is 32 bit (console) and another part is x64 (server).
When installing I can see that the install's default is being redirected/reset to C:Program Files (x86)TivoliTSM after it is explicitly set by a custom action to ..Program Files.. . I further observe that our custom actions to write 64 bit registry entries are being refused.
REGSAM samMask = KEY_ALL_ACCESS;
if ( regIsWow64Process () ) samMask = samMask | KEY_WOW64_64KEY;
lStatus = RegCreateKeyEx( hLocalConnectKeyRoot,
szSubkey,
0L,
NULL,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
samMask,
NULL,
hKey,
&dw ) ;
The above fails to create the key.
We have tried four versions of our TSMS spanning many changes but the install acts the same.
This does not happen on any other Windows OS we test on but we do not test on Windows 2003 Storage Server R2 being that it is an OEM product. We did test on Windows server 2003 R2 x64 and do not see this problem.
Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
I have full installation traces but can only see that the registry work is being refused. I can't see why.

I have a database which stores documents (e.g. policies and guidelines)in our content management system. The follow relationships exist:Documents (1-to-Many) LinkTableKeywordLink (Many-to-1) KeywordsDocuments (1-to-Many) LinkTableAttachments (Many-to-1) AttachmentsDocuments (1-to-Many) LookUpSubjectsDocuments (1-to-Many) LookUpDocTypeWhen the user conducts a search I want the SQL to check if the stringthey enter is present in:* the Title, Author, Summary fields of Documents OR* the Title or Path of the Attachments* the Keywords that are links OR* the Subject that is linked OR* the DocType that is linked.Is this possible in one SQL query. I have tried the following:SELECT DISTINCT Documents.Document, Documents.Title,PriorityFROM Documents,Attachments,Keywords,LinkTableAttachments,LinkTabl eKeywordLinkWHERE((Documents.Document=LinkTableAttachments.Document ID andLinkTableAttachments.AttachmentID=Attachments.Id) OR(Documents.Document=LinkTableKeywordLink.DocumentI D andLinkTableKeywordLink.KeywordID=Keywords.Id))AND (Documents.Title Like '%SEARCHSTRING%' OR Documents.Author Like'%SEARCHSTRING%' OR Documents.Summary Like '%SEARCHSTRING%' ORKeywords.Keyword Like '%SEARCHSTRING%' OR DocType.DocType Like'%SEARCHSTRING%' OR Attachments.AttachmentTitle Like '%SEARCHSTRING%'OR Attachments.Path like '%SEARCHSTRING%' or Subjects.Subject Like'%SEARCHSTRING%')AND StartDate<=getDate() and ReviewDate>getDate() order by Titlebut this causes, perhaps understandably, a timeout error.Any thoughts?Thanks!Steve

I have a Report that has a document map Label in the Report which I need to remove.
However as the report has over 50 text-boxes I am having difficulty locating it.
I have had a look at the XML but that does not seem to indicate the offending text box.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

All,
I have a report with a document map and when I run the report through
IE 7.0, the Document Map is blank. Running that same report through IE
6.0 and it is fine.
Both instances are run against the same server via Report Viewer so
there is no difference other than the client IE version.
Anyone know of a work around for this?
Thanks,
Sherry

The contents of document maps do not appear since I upgraded to IE7. They still appear for users on IE6.
Reporting Services version is SQL2000.
Have looked all over - this problem has been reported in a number of places but there seems to be no response / fix / work-around from MS.
Can anyone help or at least comment?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to specify the size of a document map in a report? Ot it's scroll bar?
I have a report that contains about 100+ groups and therefore 100+ items in the document map. On initial display of the report, about 25 groups are visible in the document map, and you can see that there is more data below (half a row is shown) but the scroll bar does not allow scrolling all the way to the bottom of the list.
Thanks.

Hi guys.
I am currently developing a system thats stores exchange stats in a db. Since our customers are companies with 20 employees up to 5 000 there a a big difference in the volume of data needed to be stored.
We currently thinking of supplying a SQL Server Express DB to the small customers and suggest a SQL Server to the bigger.
But since I would like to use the same structure for both types of customers I wonder how should i design the storeage.
Since the could be from 500 records a day up to 20 000. There are quite simple recordes with only simple datatypes. about 15 fields with no more than 10 chars each, mostly 2.
Should i separate the data in diffrent tables for a week or a day etc.
Since I am only going to filter data on 1 or 2 fields the data will be easly indexed.
The reports generated will almost always only use 1-3 months of data, but historical reports have to be possible.
My question are ofcourse:
Whats the best solution for me?
Thanks in advance:)

I have recently designed and built my first database using SQL server 2005 express. I have included an image (BLOB) column in one of the database tables. This is a bad idea according to some experts, and some say it is OK!
I am currently carrying out a trial with just 3 pictures via Visual Basic 2005 express forms, and there is no problem so far as the images are displayed for each record. But I anticipate between 300 - 1000 images for the table, and this could pose real problems for SQL server 2005 express and Visual Basic 2005 express, I guess.
I have just been reading that the cost of storing large images in the database is too high! I have also read it's better to store images (BLOB) into the file system because it is cheaper to store them no matter how many there are.
But the question is how I can reference an image in this path: C:PictureProductGrocery 0052745.jpg in the database table, so that when I select a record Visual Basic 2005 forms the image is displayed accordingly, similar as when stored directly in the database table? Your help very much appreciated.

From what I've read, if a row contains more than 8060 bytes and has varchar(MAX) columns in it, the data in those varchar(MAX) columns will be stored off-row. But what happens if you have two varchar(8000) columns instead and both contain more than 4030 bytes, is the data for both stored off-row? If so, just for that row, or for all rows in that table? And is there ever a good reason to have two varchar(8000) columns in a SQL Server 2005 table, instead of using varchar(MAX)?

Hi All
from following link
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx
i got this information
Bytes per row
8,060
Bytes per varchar(max), varbinary(max), xml, text, or image column
2^31-1
Characters per ntext or nvarchar(max) column
2^30-1
so is it means we can store in nvarchar(max) or varchar(max) upto 2^31-1 characters/bytes. but on the other hand we can store only 8060 bytes in a row. so the concept of Row-Overflow Data Exceeding 8 KB comes into picture.
my questions is suppose i declare a variable of type varchar(max) then i can store upto 2^30-1 bytes in it and SQL Server on its own determine how and where to stores it.

it sounds like a column can be added to each row in a table that is the checksum or binary_checksum of an expression. How many bytes do each of these occupy? Does the answer depend on the number and/or length of items in the expression?
