Feeding Database With External News Feeds
Jan 16, 2008
Hello all,
I have been reading these forums for a while but I am now a new member and relatively new to SQL (< 1 year exp).
In a project that I am currently working on I would like to include information related to current market news. An example would be news updates for certain companies that are generated from the Wall Street Journal or MarketWatch. The application would only be used internally and information would only be shared within the organization.
What I'd like to find out is:
Has anyone else worked with or developed something like this? If so, can you please share some insight.Would I need to purchase a Corproate License to use this information or would a personal account that can access the information be enough?What would be the best way to feed the database with this information? E-mails to the server, SSIS, etc.
Thank you for your help and I look forward to learning from you insight and experience.

hi everyone, trying to make updates to a news area on a website through an update form.
have a table (news) with one row (news).
the record set displays correctly in my update form in a browser. after changing content and clicking update however, error displayed:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE news ='contents for news area'' at line 1
corresponding code:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "newsForm")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE news WHERE news =%s",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['news'], "text"));
have tried multiple variations of the sql command. my question is do i have to add a row such as news_id and reference this as a primary key in order to use the UPDATE command? I have tried to do this but perhaps I should keep trying with that rather than with a single-row database. . .
it's just unclear where i should be looking. thanks anyone for your advice.

Hello..
I want to upgrade my website to asp.net 2.0 and I want to add a Daily news to website.and 10 to 15 news will be added daily , so after a year we have almost 4000 entry in the database.
For designing this DB what is your advice on how to store news in database?Is it better to create same tables for each year ? for exampletblNews_2005tblNews_2006
Or just to make one table and have all news stored in that ? its gonna be huge after years , isnt that make any problems?
ThanksRegards.

I've been wrestling with some questions about databases.1. I allow my databases to grow 10% and I find that I will have tons ofexcess space according to EM database properties. I try to shrink butit doesn't. I try a full databack up and transaction backup, but theshrink still doens't help. (I understand that it may be bad form toallow the database to automaticly grow, however I wish to learn ofwhats going on here. Changing the option to prevent growth wont teachme anything) ;)2. Because of the above situation, I've found a brute force way: Createa smaller database (the original size) and use Import/Export to copyall the data and objects. However, many times this process will failwith vague errors, (when I check for details about the error, it justrestates it had an error, nothing I could sink my teeth into).Anyone have links or info that speaks to these situations, or "Do's andDont's" about database maintance?TIA

Hello All,I'm not really sure where to post this as I'm not quite sure how to approach the problem; either whether it's an SQL problem or shoudl be addressed on the form.Anyway, on an .aspx page (using VB.NET) I have a drop down box and two text boxes. The user first selects a centre from the drop down and then enters a start and end date in the two text boxes. The user then clicks on a button which lists the results of a SQL server stored procedure using the specified parameters in a datagrid. All this is fine and works.Users however have requested an 'All centers' option in the drop down, which if selected, essentially means that instead of listing the results for a single centre, all centres are listed for the start and end dates specified.This is where I'm having problems. How do I feed this into my stored procedure? Is it a change in the procedure or something I need to do on the form?Any help appreciated.MoP.S. stored procedure look like this:------------------- @centreid int, @startdate varchar(20), @enddate varchar(20) ASSELECT centreid, datecreated, centrenameFROM tblcentresWHERE (DataLength(@startdate) = 0 OR CentreID = @CentreID)AND (DataLength(@startdate) = 0 OR datecreated >= @startdate)AND (DataLength(@enddate) = 0 OR datecreated <= @enddate)

I have a CSV file that I am importing via SSIS into a SQL table.On the Flat File connector, I have specified Line Feed as the row delimiter.The data flow is failing due to some of the rows having line feeds before the end of the row.Is there a way to get rid of some line feeds but not others, so that I can run the data flow successfully.

Hi All,
I am trying to print 10 values in a single cell in a text box.....
To make it readable I put carriage returns and line feeds into the boxes.
These rendered ok in visual studio but did not render ok in explorer....no carriage return or line feed.
This is what I added...
=Fields!segment_sdesc_00.Value & chr(10) & chr(13)
Can anyone advise me as to what is wrong with this? There must be a way to put a cr/lf or newline into a report in a text box.....
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I'm building a straightforward-ish news site. Currently, the story details (e.g. headline, description, author, date) are stored in a SQL DB. The news is categorised and the category details are also stored in an SQL table.
However - what is the best way to store the actual news article?
At the moment, when the user enters a story, they input the details and article text. The details are saved in the DB and the text is saved as an XML file with filename corresponding to the article DB primary key. When the story is "read" the app pulls the details from the DB and loads up the appropriate XML file from disk.
For various reasons, I need to keep the article stored as XML, either in a file or in the DB. The DB provides for faster sorting and retrieval, and I don't want to store large amounts of data (i.e. the article itself) in the DB if avoidable.
I guess there are a few ways to do it -
1. Store details in DB and article as XML file.2. Store details and article in same DB table3. Store details in one DB table and articles in another
I would imagine that 3 would be the best, but would there be a performance hit? What is the maximum size of field (i.e. article size) I can have in a table?
Cheers
Graham Wilson.

I have read an article about Reporting Services that was rather critical regarding a number of topics. But, this article was from 2005 and I assume that there have been some improvements in Reporting Services since then. Or?
If so, are there any good places where you can find the news? I haven€™t been able to find a good site for news in, in this case, Reporting Services.

Hi,
I have two servers, namely ServerA and ServerB. These two servers are on the same subnet. ServerB has a database called DatabaseB.
I'm logged in in ServerA and trying to pull data from DatabaseB.
This is the query I do when I'm logged in in ServerB (note im using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio):
USE DatabaseB
SELECT distinct b.Subject
FROM dbo.F_Class_Exam a
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.D_Course_Catalog b
ON a.Course_ID = b.Course_ID
WHERE a.Term = '2071' AND a.Class_Exam_Type = 'FIN' AND b.Term = '2071'
ORDER BY b.Subject
How would I do this same query on ServerA? Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mikhial

I am getting the error
Unable to open the physical file "E:Navision SqlDataForentaSQL_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
when I try to "attach" to a database located on an external hd. The database files on the external HD were copied from the original server location to the external HD. The file size is 51G+ which is why it is on the external HD.
Can anyone provide me the syntax to do the sp_attach taht will allow me to send the necessary connection string: server, user, pswd etc.
How can I get past this error?

I found astored procedure to run the restore and tried to call it from a visualbasic program. While I can connect to the database, I get an errortelling me "exclusive access could not be obtained because thedatabase is in use".Does this mean the only way to run the restore is via EnterpriseManager?Thanks,Tom

Hi All,
Quick question ...
Is it possible to add an external server registration using SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP?
Reason being I have been doing some work from home and need to port the data back to the office who are on SQL 2000. I have a database with my web hosting company and wanted to export the data to the 'live' database so I could import to the office database - any ideas?
I've tried to connect using my login details and I know the live DB is operational as I can connect through my work system. I just can't seem to be able to do it on my system at home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's been a real pain to get stuff transferred. I've so far had to generate SQL script to create the procs and tables for when I get to work - the proper down side is that I lose the content of the tables which not much right now but will be loads soon!
Many Thanks
--
I have just dicovered that the CTP management studio will not connect to SQL 7 - is there any alternative or does the new version compensate for this?

Ok,
I am a webdesigner who at the moment does not know SQL (although, I plan on remedying that) so I am developing a page with a DB designer - he is doing the DB work, I am doing the look/feel, but he asked me the following questions, of which I cannot seem to find an answer and the guys who tend our server are useless - so I am hoping someone here can help me. In general what he needs to know is:
"what is the external address (either in domain format or IP) and the equivalent internal address so that we can access the msSQL running on your server. The internal address is needed for the webpages to talk to it, while the external address is needed for development of the pages in visual studio and the database tools." Also, he later sent me an email asking that when I get this info (from someone) that it would be usefull to get a sample string/query to get access to the DB. I am running SQL 2000 and have enterprise manager. Where can I find this information? or how do I figure this out????
Thank you for all the help -- Please let me know if you need any more info.

MS-SQL 2005, C# 2.0
I will have many client databases that will be updated. When they are updated I need to transfer some of that data to a central Server database somewhere on the Internet. Note, schemas do not necessarily match.
Transfering the data (Web Services, Remoting) is not a problem.
What I am looking for is a cool, correct, advisable way, for the client database to notify me of an Insert, Update or Delete. I can then initiate the connection to the Server and 'push' the data (maybe pull some back from the Server too).
Obviously Triggers may be a place to start... But I need to know 'external to the database' that an update has happened or can I send the data from within the SQL Server assembly?
Anyone have any ideas or a technique, maybe something new in SQL Server 2005 (all databases will be 2005), for acheiving this? Just so I don't go down the 'wrong' path...
There are some BLOB's involved (1-2 page PDF's), if that makes a difference.
I envisage that the process transfering the data will be a Windows Service running on each client. The connection may not always be available, so some kind of 'to do' list of outstanding data to be transfered is required.
I'm just starting on this, so any pointers would be great, I'm sure it's all been done before ;)
Thanks
Rob.

I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.

Hi,
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to integrate an external entity into MS SQL Server in following way:
the entity defines certain set of tables
when user performs a query on one of these tables, the query is sent to the entity for processing and results are returned back to SQL server (and to client)
I thought integration services could be used for this task, but I'm quite unfamiliar with MS SQL server, so I don't know whether it would be a feasible solution...

Hi
I have created a .net application using visual studio .net and sql server destop edition on my pc. I have exported the database tables and stored procedures and imported them into a Sql Server database on a web hosting service. The web host does not allow me to access this database directly through visual studio .net.
My connection string to the external database works ok and I can access my stored procedures through my web pages. I know they accept parameters and that I can receive Return Values from them. However, whenever I try to access any of the tables on the external database through a stored procedure, I get a sqlException saying that the table cannot be found (Invalid object name 'UserList').
I have created a text type command which selects data from one of the tables and this runs through without any errors. I have also managed to Insert a row onto one of the external tables also by using a text type command. My only problem seems to be with commands using stored procedures.
Just in case this is the problem - the owner of the table/procedures on my desktop is shown as dbo but on the external database the owner of the tables is shown as [domainname].co.uk_dbuser while the stored procedures owner is still dbo.
Example of stored procedure on external database:
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.AddUser Script Date: 01/03/2005 21:10:06 ******/
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AddUser
(
@Username Varchar(20),
@Password Varchar(20)
)
AS
(
Select User_ID From UserList
Where User_Username = @Username
)
GO
Have tried changing dbo.AddUser to [domain].co.uk_dbuser.Adduser but this would not save because there were too many full-stops!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am completely stuck.
John

I have two domains. forest domain abc which has the exchange infrastructure. forest domain xyz which does not have exchange. There is a two way trust set up.
I have set up database mail which sends internally but not externally on the xyz domain its uses mailrelay address to comunicate with exchange. The receive connector is set up correctly on exchange on domain abc as I have managed to send email from a sql server to external contact in the abc domain.
The IP addresses are correct on the receive connector.
The problem is I am unable to send to an external contact from the sql server in the xyz domain. Not sure if this an exchange issue or database mail.

C# .Net Application as front end
Sql Server2000 as back end
I need to merge an external dataset from .Net app(in XML format) with the information in database with one column in database table as the merging criteria. A situation similar to Left Outer Join, wherein i need all records from external dataset and if matched in database the corresponding values from there too, the only difference here is that the join is not between two Tables its between a table and external dataset.
There is no need to store the external dataset in the database in persistent form, its just a query - merge - response operation.
So, can anyone suggest the best possible solution for this? A table variable / temporary table / some other schema, what and how?
Thanks in advance..

Hola!I'm currently building a site that uses an external database to store all the product details, and an internal database that will act as a cache so that we don't have to keep hitting the external database to retrieve the products every time a customer requests a list.What I need to do is retrieve all these products from External and insert them into Internal if they don't exist - if they do already exist then I have to update Internal with new prices, number in stock etc.I was wondering if there was a way to insert / update these products en-mass without looping through and building a new insert / update query for every product - there could be thousands at a time!Does anyone have any ideas or could you point me in the right direction?I'm thinking that because I need to check if the products exist in a different data store than the original source, I don't have a choice but to loop through them all.Cheers,G.

OS: Windows XP (SP2)
App: MS Access 2003 (SP2)
DB: MS SQL 2000 (SP4, 2040)
User is using MS Access linked table to query database (using ODBC). User can open the query in MS Access. However when the user goes to export the data to MS Excel format, the user receives the error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver (22)."
A trace on the db, reveals that the user process is attempting to log in to the server as 'Admin'. However, when the query with the linked table is first opened, the user is prompted for username/password (non Windows authentication).
Any ideas? I googled and found some stuff, but nothing directly related and most of what I found was supposedly fixed with SP1.
Any help appreciated. I am not an Access guru.
