Does anyone know how to upload (bulk) data from a client (written in Excel VBA) to a remote SQL2000 database? Of coarse I tried "INSERT INTO" and rst.addnew but I noticed this is much, much slower as downloading from the same remote database.
Thanks.
I'm trying to work out a database design to make it quicker for my clientprogram to read and display updates to the data set. Currently it reads inthe entire data set again after each change, which was acceptable when thedata set was small but now it's large enough to start causing noticabledelays. I've come up with a possible solution but am looking for others'input on its suitability to the problem.Here is the DDL for one of the tables:create table epl_packages(customer varchar(8) not null, -- package_type char not null, -- primary keypackage_no int not null, -- /dimensions varchar(50) not null default(0),weight_kg int not null,despatch_id int, -- filled in on despatchloaded bit not null default(0),item_count int not null default(0))alter table epl_packagesadd constraint pk_epl_packagesprimary key (customer, package_type, package_no)My first thought was to add a datetime column to each table to record thetime of the last change, but that would only work for inserts and updates.So I figured that a separate table for deletions would make this complete.DDL would be something like:create table epl_packages(customer varchar(8) not null,package_type char not null,package_no int not null,dimensions varchar(50) not null default(0),weight_kg int not null,despatch_id int,loaded bit not null default(0),item_count int not null default(0),last_update_time datetime default(getdate()) -- new column)alter table epl_packagesadd constraint pk_epl_packagesprimary key (customer, package_type, package_no)create table epl_packages_deletions(delete_time datetime,customer varchar(8) not null,package_type char not null,package_no int not null)And then these triggers on update and delete (insert is handled automaticallyby the default constraint on last_update_time):create trigger tr_upd_epl_packageson epl_packagesfor updateas-- check for primary key changeif (columns_updated() & 1792) > 0 -- first three columns: 256+512+1024insert epl_packages_deletionsselectgetdate(),customer,package_type,package_nofrom deletedupdate Aset last_update_time = getdate()from epl_packages Ajoin inserted Bon A.customer = B.customer andA.package_type = B.package_type andA.package_no = B.package_nogocreate trigger tr_del_epl_packageson epl_packagesfor deleteasinsert epl_packages_deletionsselectgetdate(),customer,package_type,package_nofrom deletedgoThe client program would then do the initial read as follows:select getdate()selectcustomer,package_type,package_no,dimensions,weight_kg,despatch_id,loaded,item_countfrom epl_packageswherecustomer = {current customer}order bycustomer,package_type,package_noIt would store the output of getdate() to be used in subsequent updates,which would be read from the server as follows:select getdate()selectcustomer,package_type,package_no,dimensions,weight_kg,despatch_id,loaded,item_countfrom epl_packageswherecustomer = {current customer} andlast_update_time > {output of getdate() from previous read}order bycustomer,package_type,package_noselectcustomer,package_type,package_nofrom epl_packages_deletionswherecustomer = {current customer} anddelete_time > {output of getdate() from previous read}The client program will then apply the deletions and the updated/insertedrows, in that order. This would be done for each table displayed in theclient.Any critical comments on this approach and any improvements that couldbe made would be much appreciated!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a very unusual situation - we converted a client from DB2 7.2 to MS SQL Server 2000, SP3. There is one report that runs very quickly when ran on the Database Server, but it takes a long time to complete when it is ran from a client system. This query is ran from within the application and not from within Query Analyzer.
Has anyone else here ever encountered this issue? What did it turn out to be? I am leaning away from it being a network issue.

Greetings,
Environment:
Server: SQL Server 2005 with service pack 1 running on Windows Server 2003
Clients: Internet Explorer 7, MS Office 2007
Setup:
Our companies reports are a mixture of Reporting Services Reports and Excel workbooks with pivot tables. We want both the reports and the pivot tables to be accessible from the same web page so users have a single entry point into all of the business intelligence tools. We have the Reporting Services Reports working just fine but there is an slight hiccup with the Excel documents. The Excel files upload just fine, but when clients try and download them they are always presented with the following Yes/No dialog:
"The file you are trying to open 'Resource.aspx' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking Yes opens the file in excel but it is opened as Resource.aspx instead of the actual excel file.
Clicking No opens the file in excel as the actual excel file.
My questions are:
1. Why does the file upload correctly as an excel file type but download as an aspx?
2. Is there a way to let Reporting Services associate the .xlsx extension with Excel.
3. Is this even a Reporting Services problem? (I believe it is, because we also use SharePoint and excel files uploaded in sharepoint download correctly using IE7).
Any help or insight is appreciated.

Hi,
I needed to recreate/publish a DDL and data file(of a database) that was produced using Database Publishing Wizard. The size of the file is 4G. I receive the following error when I try to open it up in the new query window of sql server 2005 (sp2)for execution.
"The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
I know my server has 829G of free storage space available. i receive no errors when I open up a smaller file also created by database publishing wizard.
What possibly is causing this?
Thanks in advance

OK, I'm stumped and could do with some help. I have a laptop running Vista (64bit) with the SQL 2005 client tools. At home, I have SQL Server 2000 running on Windows Server 2003. I cannot get the SQL 2005 to talk to the SQL Server 2000. At work, we have SQL 2000 running on NT 5.0 and it connects fine. I also have a second laptop with SQL 2000 client tools running on XP SP2 which conects fine to the SQL 2000 instance on the 2003 box.
The vista laptop talks to the 2003 server, so it's not simpy that there is no connection. Any ideas why I keep getting an error stating that the Server might not be accepting remote connections every time I try to connect the Vista machine to the SQL 2000 server? I can't connect either from the SQL management tool, nor via ODBC.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
hi,my sql database works fine from my desktophowever when uploading it to my web server it does not work.i considered this could be the connection path to the database.in visual web developer i attempted to modify the connection for the actual web address on the server pc like this:C:Inetpubvhostsarcvillage.comhttpdocsApp_Datavillagers.mdf this is the actual path on the server.However visual web developer will not allow this because it says that this connection is not available ON MY PC.... so i cant save this new connection in order to upload it.any suggestions please.... or am i barking up the wrong tree!

View 3 Replies View Relatedhi,
From my ealier post I learned that a MDF file can be read and written to even if I did not attach the database in the SQL Sever Management Studio.
Is that behavior because of the connection string where is has
AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DNN12_24_07.mdf ,
Is that what "attaches" the database? This runs on SQL Express2005.
Should I change the connection string to:
name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=(local);Database=ASPNET;uid=;pwd=;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
?
Is there a statment in the XML of web.config that defines |DataDirectory| of the original connection string that points to APP_DATA where the mdf file physically resides?
Thanks in advance?

hello,
After I FTP a ASP.NET website to a webserver, APP_DATA directory and all, I then use the SQL publishing wizard to create a script on the local machine and run the script on the webserver/SQL server, it builds ok. But I get an error "another database with the same name". Duplicate of the database in APP_DATA directory that is already attached by the connection string. So this isn't correct.
Second attempt: I FTP an ASP.NET website up to a server. Then I open the SQL management studio and attach the database in the website's APP_DATA folder. (never running a .sql script)The database attaches. The name of the database is the complete path to the database in the APP_DATA directory by default. The website functions. But if I try to look at a table I get an errors. It gets to the point the database will not even expand. Then I start getting errors in the browser that NETWORK SERVICE can not open it's default database. So the website fails also. So this doesn't work either....
So I guess my question is, should I remapped the path of |DataDirectory| before I FTP it? To a path where the other common system databases reside, (I don't think that would be necessary.) Then FTP the website without the contents of the app folder(no database). Then use the script built with the SQL Publishing wizard to build the database, and attach the database in SQL Management Studio? ( I'm afraid of over playing and corrupting the server).
If I attach the database to manage it and the connection string attaches the database to run it, will I always get errors? What am I missing here?
Thanks jamesqua for your help so far, I understood the blog you sent me too. But how do I modify it so I can use SQL Management studio to manage the database?

This is probably a very simple question but i am having problems with inserting information into database
The function takes the values "FirstName" And "LastName" from A table Called "Customer" and the value "ProductID" from a table called "Products" and inserts them into a table called " NewOrder".
Everything compiles ok but when I press the button the information is not uploaded to thedatabase. ( There is no error message)
This is the stored procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_NewOrder(@CartID char (36), @CustomerID Varchar (50))AS
INSERT INTO NewOrder (FirstName, LastName, ProductID)
SELECT Customer.FirstName, Customer.LastName, Products.ProductID
From Customer,Products Join ShoppingCart ON Products.ProductID =ShoppingCart.ProductIDWHERE ShoppingCart.CartID = @CartID AND Customer.CustomerID = @CustomerIDGO
This is the Function
Public Shared Function CreateOrder() AS String Dim customerID As integer Dim connection as New SqlConnection(connectionString) Dim command as New SqlCommand("SP_NewOrder",connection) command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure command.Parameters.Add("@CartID", SqlDbType.Char,36) command.Parameters("@CartID").Value = shoppingCartID command.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Varchar,36) command.Parameters("@CustomerID").Value = customerID Try
connection.Open() command.ExecuteNonQuery() Finally connection.Close()
End TryEnd Function
This is the page code
Sub btn3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)Dim cart as New ShoppingCart()Dim shoppingCartID As IntegerDim customerID As Integer = Context.Session("worldshop_CustomerID")cart.CreateOrder()End Sub
Can Anyone see where I am going wrong

Hello Friends
During downloading tabel from remote server, I am using follwing code with traking option ON as follows
RDASpotLighter.Pull("TableName" , SelectFromServer ,RemoteConnString,RdaTrackOption.TrackingOn,"ErrorTableName");
And during uploading same table with data, I am using RDA object as follows
RDASpotLighter.Push(TableName, RemoteConnString, RdaBatchOption.BatchingOff);
When I tried to upload uploaded data, RDA throws an exception and removed that data row from main table and insert into Error table. But this behavior is inconsistence like some time I got that exception but some times I don€™t.
Actually the problem is, some times RDA does updating data on server where I excepting insertion should be perform. I eager to know about when RDA does perform INSERT operation AND when does perform UPDATE operation on server data.
Please help to figure out this problem.

Hello,
I've been working on an application that uploads an RDL to Reporting Services programmatically. I'm having problem with the data source properties for my uploaded report. The datasource for my report is custom datasource. It work s fine if the report still did not exist. But if the report already exist, after I upload the report to Reporting Services, the function will overwrite the RDL but it did not overwrite the Data source type correctly. Other setting like connection string is overwritten correctly.
For example, I already have RDL ABC with Data source type SQL, when I try to overwrite the existing RDL ABC which have Data source type Assembly, it still hold the SQL value for the data source type. But in the RDL itself (I checked in the rdl script in <DataProvider> tag), the value already overwritten to Assembly.
This problem also happen when I try to upload RDL using Report Manager. The Data source type are not overwritten by the action.
What should I do? Why it did not overwrite the datasource type? Maybe I do anything wrong here. I dont know what. Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance
Hi
I designed a package in SSIS that loads data from an Excel source into a oledb SQL database table.
The problem I have is that two of the columns that are supposed to be nvarchar type columns sometimes contain numerical strings. These values causes an error when 'Allow Null' is not set and loads as NULL if 'Allow Null' is set.
How can I force these values into the table?
I have a script transformation object in the package with this code:
If IsNumeric(Row.OCCode) Then
Row.ItemCode = CStr(Row.OCCode)
Else
Row.ItemCode = Row.OCCode
End If
ItemCode is of type unicode string and the column in the SQL DB Table it's mapped to is of type nvarchar

database B just created and will act as warehouse
could it be done simply by
1.creating table T1 on db B and then
2.set db to simple recovery
3.
insert into B.dbo.T1
select * from A.dbo.T1
4. create all the indexes on table T1 in db B
free disk space is 35GB
Any idea how to optimze import
Thank you
why bcp out (exporting data to a text file from a sql table using bcp utility ) is faster ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have found a problem with my SSIS package. The package takes a Excel File using the Excel Source/Excel connection manager objects. There's a Data Conversion Object which sets all the fields to be DT_STR and then I import the data into a Holding table using a OLEDB Destination Object.
My Excel file contains a list of Code/Description pairs. The problem I have is that I can have data such as the following
CODE
A101
A102
A103
12
1.2i
What seems to be happening is that when the data is imported into the holding table and the first rows are Alphanumeric then the fields where there's a code such as 12 get converted to NULL for some reason. If all the codes are the same type (either Alphanumeric or numericit doesn't matter, as long as they are all the same) the import works perfectly well.
I need to be able to import all of these codes without SSIS converting some to NULL. Has anyone come across this problem before? If so, is there something I am doing wrong or a workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Rob
What should I have done? Is there anything that can be done other than restoring from backup?
How does one know if the database is really recovering or is EM just joken? I can wait 2 hours
before starting the restore
I was BCPing 12 million rows into a staging table. II used the '-b' option every 20K which I thought
would do a commit and clear the log in batches. After the process EM appeared to show the transaction log
as empty. Upon inspecting the Bcp output file I discovered the message that the BCP did not complete
because syslogs was full. I could not do a truncate transaction log or a dump database. I tried to
do a truncate transaction with no_log and it appeared to just hang. I stopped the SQL Server thinking
I could dump the transaction log, but could not start the Sql Server again. I then stopped the NT Server
because 'if all else fails'. The SQL Server started but the user database if marked as recovering.
