Help Required Please + SQL Server 2005 + LIKE Query
Jan 10, 2008
Hi Guys
I am in need of some assistance please.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and C#(winforms).
For example if I have a winform with a textbox and search button. If I type in ABCD1234. I won't know what the data is coming into the X Table. So there will be hundreds of description data in the description field in X table.
So in the X Table, there are ABCD1234,ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
But I will only pick this 'ABCD1234' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same description. It needs to pick also ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
If also type in 5678, in another column like code in X Table. It would have 005678,05678,56780. But I will only pick this '5678' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same code.
It needs to pick also 005678,05678,56780
I have tried LIKE, FREETEXT and CONTAINS.
But another idea is a table of alternate descriptions for those that you know about and look those up and search for them all. But how can that be done?
I thought it was but I just now installed it on a box without IIS. I gather IIS is not a requried component. I noticed only Reporting Services Requires it so I am hoping that installing IIS and then add Reporting Services Component later will not cause configuration problems.
I was in the phase of switching over to Sql Server Reporting from the normal reports. I plan to go with the SQL server 2005 standard version. Do i need visual studio 2005 to design and deploy report. If I am using only SQL server standard alone for my reporting and publishing, is it possible to assign the user rights to reports, user can just login and can view all the reports that belongs to that user. Since I wont be using the visual Studio 2005, so I want to implement this using the SQL server 2005. So pls help me with your kind information how to proceed ahead.
I have developed a database in MS SQL Server 2005 Express, to which I would require only bulkadmin server role from an external java application, because I only need to update rows, insert values or use select queries in the database.
The problem is that, using either the Microsoft JDBC Driver 1.1 or the Java JDBC ODBC Driver and the Windows XP Data Base (ODBC) configurations, I need a user with sysadmin server role inside Sql Server, otherwise JDBC won't connect to the database using the selected user. Even if I leave the sql login with setupadmin or any server role lower than sysadmin, the connection is refused.
Is there no way to connect using JDBC to MS Sql Server 2005 other than granting the connected user sysadmin rights? My code looks as follows:
Class.forName(driver); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password); if (conn != null) System.out.println("SQL Server Connection established ...");
I have heard that Java JDBC connections to Microsoft require high-level access.
Any informed answer is more than welcome. Thanks for reading my post!
My web project (ASP.NET 2.0 / C#) runs against sql server 2000 and uses the System.Data.SqlClient.using System.Data.SqlClient; I use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection and System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand to make the connections to the database and do selects and updates. Is it correct to continue to use these against SQL Server 2005? I ask because I made a connection string (outside of .Net) for SqlServer 2005 using the SQL native provider and it had the following - Provider=SQLNCLI.1 and any connection strings I had made (also outside of ASP.NET) fro SQL Server all used Provider=SQLOLEDB.1. This is why I wondered if there is a different SqlClient in .Net 2.0 for SQL Server 2005? Cheers Al
What are the minimum permissions required by the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (UA)? I could not find it in the documentation.
Obviously being a local Administrators Windows group and a member of sysadmin SQL Server role will do the trick.
But will being a member of only the sysadmin SQL Server role be enough? I know that the UA does want to read the registry.
Running it under just sysadmin generates the following type of errors:
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. WINSOCKPROXY
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTUNSIGNEDCOMPONENTS
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. NETPROTOCOL
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTMULTIPLEINSTANCES
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. INVALIDNAMEDPIPE
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTCOMPONENTREG
Database Server PreUpgrade Requested registry access is not allowed. FTACCTPASS
The issue then is whether these are significant or not. If the UA is only reading the registry to determine if SSAS, DTS, etc is installed then that is not important. But if it is affecting the end result because it cannot read critical information from the registry that is another matter.
I have recently purchased SQL server 2005 for a new install of bespoke software - I have however just been told that it only runs on SQL server 2000 at the moment - is there a way I can install sql 2000 server from the 2005 cd? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to install Outlook 2007 with BCM and recieve the error listed above. I have also included a copy of my log file. Any suggestions?

Hi i'm developing a website for my final year project with ASP.net and SQL Server 2005 databse. The problem i'm facing since last week is that, i'm unable to use "Select" query to fetch the data from my SQL Server database. i've used the following code to INSERT the database which is successfull.SqlDataSource sample= new SqlDataSource(); sample.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringName"].ToString();sample.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text; sample.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO Table_Name(Fields) VALUES (@Fields)"; sample.InsertParameters.Add("Fields", FieldsTxtBox.Text);
It successfully updates my database fields. I've tried many codes that i've found over the internet but none worked. can anyone please tell me how to use SELECT query in the fashion as the above one? I shall be very thankfull for the help. Regards, Jigzy
We have a customer, call them customerA CustomerA has just employed a new Chief Information Officer.
The New CIO would like to make a few changes to the current way we have things right now. Bare with me as I explain our environment.
We have The following Servers
Application Server[FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID] Database Server [FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID)]
Both the above servers sit in a fully fault tolerant environment with daily backups power generators etc etc etc.1000MB network everything work 100%
Now my question:
The new CIO would like to move the DB server out of this environment to a remote building downtown, and have the application server connect to this remote db server. Is this advisable? What are the required connection speeds, so that the end user does not have to wait for a response? What is the recommended response time IIS should give?
Please also note that we are in South Africa and broadband is VERY expensive / unreliable.
The CIO would like to install a 2Mbit radio link from this building to the ISP I’m not sure on the cost, but do know that this type of link is very unstable, Their failover will be a 512kb fixed line or diginet line. Cost about ZAR 8000.00 per month
The application is extremely data / graphs intensive as it contain property information. I think they average about 16000 visitors daily, not a lot.
If anyone can give me any input i would appreciated.

Hi I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------ Any ideas about why is this happening??? Umer
In SQL 2000, a guest user can access any system tables in a database, but it looks not the same in SQL 2005. What even worse is the SQL security handles it in a confused way. When I sign on as sa and run:
SELECT * FROM sys.sysreferences
Of course I get what I want. While, if I sign on as a user only has guest privilege, I get nothing. Based on my understanding, if one does not have permission to SELECT, he should get rejucted error message. Otherwise, he should get return data. Now, SQL 2005 does not give any.
More interesting thing is when select * from sys.sysobjects, SQL 2005 return data to both sa user and user with guest privilege. Did MS applied different security on different sys.sys.. table? When a select return nothing, how can we know if there is no data at all, or the user does not have sufficient privilege.
I have three tables EmpIDs,EmpRoles and LatestRoles. I need to write a select Query to get roles of all employees present in EmpIDs table by referring EmpRoles and LatestRoles.
Where I stuck : The condition is first look into table EmpRoles and if it has more than one entry for a particular Employee ID than only need to get the Role from LatestRoles other wise consider the role from EmpRoles .
Employee ID 2 is having two roles defined in EmpRoles so for EmpID 2 need to fetch Role from LatestRoles table and for remaining ID's need to fetch from EmpRoles .
My Final Output of select query should be like below.
I have DBA that is convinced that they need domain admin rights to install SQL 2005 into an existing cluster. The domain groups and service accounts for SQL have been created already. Is having domain admin rights required during the install of SQL 2005 in a cluster?
If I develop my app in SQL Server 2005 Express, and then want to use a hosting service that only offers full SQL Server 2005, do I have to do some kind of conversion to my DB file, and if so, what might that be? (I notice that there are hosting services that provide SQL Server Express...I'd like to know how much work it would be to be able to use other services.)
I am to take a web app tomorrow to work to install it on a a web server. I just wanted to be sure which files in the web app Sql Server Express needs to operate. Is it the *.mdf file only or also the *_log.ldf and the aspnetdb.mdf files also.Thanks.
On one of our servers the sqlseragent was running fine. But now it is not running. We se the option to start the server agent each time the OS starts. Even when I tried to start the agent manually from service manager it is not starting. Would any one help on this urgently.
Also how can we identify under what account any job runs. The reason is when we deleted some NT user accounts one of the job failed as this job runs under that userid. But in the properties it shows that sa is the owner of that job. What is best way to create a job so that these jobs run under one userid so that it won't fail when we delete users.
I am trying to determine the optimum amount of server memory that would be required for my SQL Server application. According to a book, it is calculated as follows:
Minimum memory required = System memory + User memory + Database process memory
I have thought about ways to determine each component of memory.
1) I could determine the System memory utilized from the Task manager (Total - Available), when the SQL Server service has been started, and no applications are running.
2) I could determine User memory by ascertaining the number of concurrent users during peak usage time of the application and then multiplying it with 0.5 MB.
3) I could determine Database process memory by summing up the "memusage" column in the SysProcesses table, at the time of peak usage and multiplying it with 8.
