I need to deploy a multi-user application to several different customers. My app was built on VB.net and uses SQL Server Express. For remote client to connect to the server I understand that I need to use a connection string something like this:
€śServer=ServerName;Database=myDB;Trusted_Connection=True;€?
My question is, how will I know what the server name is? Can that be different for different customers? When I test this on my PC, I use (Server=.SQLEXPRESS;), but what do I use for deployment?
I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you
I need to setup a script to read all the table names in the database above and then query the database to find the list of Stored Procedure using each table.(SQL Server)
I am searching for a Powershell script which picks Windows Server names from SQL server table(eg: Instance.DB.tbServerList) & writes last reboot date to SQL server table(can be same or different table).
I am trying to install SQL Server Express - (the non ADV version) and get the following error.
"An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'".
I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate running on an HP dv9000.
I am using the download from the bottom of the download page for SSX where it says 64 bit version.
Prior to this I got the. "64-bit ASP.net is registered. Required 32-bit ASP.NET to install Microsoft Reporting services 2005(32-bit)." messagd during the pre-install scan. From what I gather in the posts, the reporting issue is different from my installation package problem.
I have been trying to prove a point to friends about how far you can go with SSX but am having no luck installing it. This whole process took 1 hour in XP but I've been stymied for 2 days.
I would appreciate being pointed at the right downloads for what seems to be a simple install.
I can't find 'SQL Server: SSIS Pipeline' performance object in performance monitor on a 64-bit SQL Server. I see it on a 32-bit. Does anybody know why?
We just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000. The DB was backed up using Enterprise Manager and restored with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. Everything went as expected (no errors, warnings, or any other indicator of problems).
The DB resides in a DB Server (Server1) and the application we are running is a Client/Server system where the AppServer resides on Server2.
During the application's operation all read, create, and delete transactions work fine but no update works. When viewing details in Trace Log I see this message after attempting any update:
Could not find server 'Server1' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers. (7202)
My ISP runs MS SQL server for me and does not have experience managing this type of database. For example, the database occassionally crashes and looses data. Our site is not live yet, but once we go live, this is unacceptable.
I need somebody to consult on the database configuration, tuning, security and maintenance plan. How would I find a person with the correct qualifications?
I have the following in my web.config<appSettings> <add key="strConn" value="server=10.100.1.2;uid=sa;pwd=;database=MyDB/></appSettings>and I am getting the following error message --"SQL Server cannot be found or access denied"if I replace the server IP address with server name, it works fine. Am I missing something here? Help!ThanksBugme
I installed MS SQL 2014 Standard. In the Data Tools in 2013 with the connection setup I do not see any server names. When calling sqlcmd -L all servers are visible. In SQL Configuration Manager Network Configuration I set the TCP / IP, Shared Memory and Named Pipes have set enabled. I installed all the server components.

CREATE AGGREGATE failed because it could not find type 'Concatenate' in assembly 'SQLutils'.
Msg 6597, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
CREATE AGGREGATE failed.
This looks like a simple error, but the name Concatenate is spelled correctly (it is a copy from books online see "Invoking CLR User-Defined Aggregate Functions" in BOL)
The error is "could not find type", but it is a class, might this be the problem?
