Hi,
I'm new to SQL 2000 administration and would like to know how to find out what the existing SQL Server Database configurations and what installation options has been installed / selected.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having difficulty configuring a package to look for an xml configuration file that contains values for source/destination connection strings.
The goal is to be able to have a package and its configuration file on one file system and to be able to copy/move the file dtsx and dtsx.config between build/staging/production servers while only having to set the xml value for the source/destination configurations.
In the package, I've created an xml configuration file called zzz.config. I took the absolute path out of the location of the xml file so that I have
xml location = zzz.config
instead of
xml location = e:ssiszzz.config
I'm assuming that when it gets to the point of validating the location of that file, it starts by looking in the current directory where the package is found.
All is well as long as I execute the package through the execute package utility by double clicking on the package file.
The problem lies when configuring a job in the sql server agent, it doesn't seem to pick up the xml configuration values because its pointing to the old server and not the current server stored in the xml file. I'm assuming its because the current directory is not the package directory at this point.
How can I get around this? Do I have to move the xml config file (zzz.config) to another directory where the agent will look for?
I know I could configure this as an environment variable but this contradicts the point of having movable packages without any extra tweaks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robin

Is there is any query /procedures to find out the database and table size.
Thanks in advance .,

Our system guy wants me to find out just exactly how much room is being taken up by the SQL Express databases (I am using two). I am not sure how to do this. Is there any way to find the size, or, lacking that, how many records overall? We will probably need to move up to SQL 2005 soon, but he needs to figure out the memory requirements, etc.
Thanks,

I need to find the name of the user that signed in to the web page. For this, I have a web page with a text box, the program should access a SQL database use, use the userID and return the name. My code (working) does the following:string mySqlQuery = "";
string strCnn = "";SqlDataReader myDataReader = null;
mySqlQuery = "SELECT c_name FROM database WHERE c_user='demo'";
//connect to the databasestrCnn = "Data Source=" + connectionServer + "; Initial Catalog=" + connectionDatabase + "; user id=" + connectionUserID + "; password=" + connectionPassword + "; Integrated Security=false";cnn = new SqlConnection(strCnn);
try
{
cnn.Open();MessageBox.Show("Success Opening the Database");
}
catch
{MessageBox.Show("Problems with the database");
}SqlCommand sqlSelectCommand = new SqlCommand(mySqlQuery, cnn);
tbName.Text = "me";
cnn.Close();
This works, I just need to retrieve the value of c_name. Any help, thanks
Hey,
Is there somewhere in MSDE (or SQL) where you can see how many transaction are made to a sertain database or by a sertain user? At this way i could figure out witch database/user uses most (or least) recources (cpu) over a period of time.
I know sysprocesses has the information, but I can't seem to find how this is done using the dmv's. sessions doesn have a db context, and requests is only active while activity is occurring.
Thanks!
I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.
I have a CRM database that has a lot of tables and would like to be able to extract the last 'x' records in descending order from each table based on a common a field 'modifiedon' that is in every table and is auto populated by the system.

Morning forum,
I'm having a problem to which I'm sure the answer is simple...
All I want is a list of databases on my server with their allocated size and the free space within. Something similar to the first table that sp_spaceused gives you but on a server wide scale.
As I say, I'm sure there's a simple solution out there, but alas Google has failed me.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
I am trying to learn ASP.NET using Visual Basic Standard Edition 2003 and an MSDE database. I am having problems configuring the login. Is this a workable configuration? Are there instructions somewhere for setting up this configuration? I have no problem using Access 2003, but I would like to use MSDE.

Please excuse me as although I have lots of database design & development experience I'm not database administrator and I'm new to SQL Server.
I have a SQL server 7 database on a remote web server which I can access over the Internet.
I have SQL server 7 installed on my local network server and I use Enterprise Manager to administer and configure the databases on the server.
Can I use Enterprise Manager to administer and configure the remote database?
If I can't then how do I make changes to the remote database? Do I need to FTP objects or use RAS?
Any help would be very much appreciated?

please help me
how ican combine Between 2 DB (one from configuration used for login by wizard and another sql server use BC (my project needed)
We are going to implement either a replicated database or use log shipping to another database to support our reporting needs. Basically we are moving reporting over data off our transactional database.
With this in mind, I have several questions:
Are there any special configurations in terms of disks for a database in this situation?What are the recommended raid types?
Also, we currently store our data in one filegroup and indexes in another so obviously I'll want those on 2 separate physical disks other than the C:. What about the log files? Do I care where they go (on C: or another physical drive separate from C:, data filegroup drive and index filegroup drive)?
Thanks!

I am working on creating a configeration database based on the information pulled from a large number (over 40) of servers. I am newly out of college and don't have a lot of experience with things like this, but I am trying to create a configuration database. I need to know the best way to create a connection to all of the SQL servers on my network and then automate the pulling of data from these SQL servers. The types of data I would need are things like Instance ID, DBMS Version, Database Properties, Database Name, Modification Date, Last full backup, last transaction log backup, etc. I have been pointed towards either working with OSQL/SQL CMD, in which case could someone please point me towards a guide, and SSIS, I am reposting this thread in the SSIS area. I need to take all of the gathered data and place it into a central repository database after formatting it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Below is what I have put into an execute sql task container. When I try to run it I have output open and have posted the output. The code runs fine when I have the configuration database set up to only check one server. However, when I add anymore to it, the package will get the security from the first db and then error out.

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this.

I was trying to get some indexing recommendations from the Database Engine Tuning Advisor by consuming a trace file with known indexing issues. After several minutes all it did was create a report or two which list existing indexes. Not very useful. I must be doing something wrong.
A message displays that "75% of the consumed workload has syntax errors." I guess it can't take a regular trace (.trc) file?
I am conderned that the trace file I used did not contain what the Advisor needs. Do I need to setup the trace a special way to support the Advisor?
Also, what does "Database for workload analysis" mean? I chose tempdb but there is no Help, and BOL is a maze of small uninformative snippets . . .
