How Do I Programatically Acces A Database With A '-' In The Name?
Jul 23, 2005
use this-is-a-stupid-name
returns an error
For that matter
select *
from this-is-a-stupid-name.dbo.anytable
returns an error
I've tried single quoted, double quotes, escaping. In the SQL editor I can
select the name from the dropdown and I'm OK - but I'm writing a perl
script to connect to the database.
I didn't create the database and don't know how it was created.
Hi friends, I have developed a website and uploaded the database to Remote server through Export wizard in Sqlserver 2005.everything is working fine in Sqlserver enterprise manager, but when i tried to connect this database via web.config file to my website it is giving me error... Server Error in '/Sales_offer' Application.
Invalid connection. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid connection.Source Error:

After that when i tried to access the database through Qury analyzer it is giving me error Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'salecumoffers'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. But it is showing me the tables and their Contents from Remote server in enterprise manager... waiting for ur quick response Neeraj
This is a part of my project and that are my first steps. I just want to know if there is a user with "username" already in the database. The MSDN Documentation says that the ExecuteNonQuery() Method returns the number of affected rows. But if I run this code I always get x=-1. What does that mean ?
using (SqlConnection sqlcon = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["web_db_1"].ConnectionString)) { SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select user_id From users Where username = '" + username + "'", sqlcon); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.Connection.Open(); int x = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Connection.Close(); } Thanks, Party-Pansen
Can anyone please direct me to an easy to understand Description, Article or Video tutorial that shows an example on how to programatically connect to an SQL database and retrieve data from a collumn using C# and VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION. Also, what namespace should be imported to do this? (From what I have gathered out of the help, it seem that System.Web.UI.WebControls is the one) I am trying to create a "news letter" web page. I have a basic form and when I hit "send" then the code in the background should access the database with all the recipient info, and retrieve all the E-mail addresses, Names, etc. and include it in each e-mail. ( I don't know if it is just me, but the help included with VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION is extremely difficult to understand - from a beginner point of view). Thanks! Regards Jan
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a database programatically. Here is how I do it now. Right click on the database, select Restore. Browse out to my computer and find the .BAK file. Select the database and go into 'Restore Options' I have to physically change the .MDF and .LOG paths since I am getting this backup is not coming from my computer. I select 'Overwrite the existing database' then click restore.
My problem is that I have to change the paths to the MDF and LOG files. How could I automate this? Thank you!!
I am crateing the database on the fly using db directory in VC++. I am able to create database. I am also able to create login. These can be easily done by logging as master using the username and password sa and "" resp. Now I want to add a user to the database that i created. but it is being added to the master database. I know that I have to change my login from sa ,"" to the username and password that i gave during login. but i dont know how to change the login. Please help. If you have any code for that then that will be of great help. Hoping to get a positive response as soon as possible.. Thanx Nitin Gulati
I am working on constructing a software layer around some features of the RDL language that would allow me to programatically generate reports.
I am reading the RDL specification language, and I do not understand three things:
1) How the DataSet element is populated by the query or more precisely how do the <Field> elements capture all the rows inside the table that is being queries?
To my understanding I wilkl have to define several fields that correspond to all columns of interest in the query.
But that is only for one row (?!) How do the rest of the rows get populated? Does the server recursively create new rows based on my definitions until it matches row for row all the data in the table?
2) Once the elements are inside a DataSet how do make use of that data to render it in a table.
I understand how the DataSource, DataSet, and Table work individually, yet I do not understand how to establish a flow of data between DataSet and Table.
3) Do I even need to use a <Table> as an RDL element in order to organize the data in an excel table?
my colleague is using visual studio (VB) and making windows applications. we used same connection string but i can't connect to the sql server.
i am using visual studio(2003) .net(C#) and making web applications. this is the code.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection (); // TODO: Modify the connection string and include any // additional required properties for your database. //conn.ConnectionString = "integrated security=SSPI;data source=cerebrum;persist security info=False;initial catalog=dals"; conn.ConnectionString="Server=cerebrum;Initial Catalog=dals;User Id=sa;"; try { conn.Open(); // Insert code to process data. Label1.Text="Connection successful"; } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } finally { conn.Close(); }
and i'm getting this error SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

OK I have been trying on my own to move from Access to SQL express/Developer. I have not found much in the way of guidence. Any suggestions? I would rank myself as fairly advanced with Access but just a newby to the SQL products... I keep blasting into walls and issues in the SQL world and would rather learn from someone elses' hardship rather than re-invent what has been undoubtably been already discovered.
I do fairly advanced reports and Large imports, Hence the need for developer rather than express, since the express import facility is hopelessly crippled. Even the developer SSIS is not well doccumented and seems pretty buggy and hard to use, even with the wizzards, As for reports.... well I'm expecting that to be a fairly had road to climb also...
I've got a website with authentication mode "forms". Now I need access to the database to authenticate the user. The SQL Server is located in another domain than IIS.I don't know how to establish a trusted connection with the SQL Server. How can I establish this?

I am running an Access 2000 front end and MS SQL2000 as a backend and I am having problems with record locking.
I have just found out that If you use ODBC then Access acts as if No Locks are set. In an ideal world I need the record to be locked by a user as soon as they move onto it. If not as soon as they start editing it?

all seems ok, but I found that an "order by" on a boolean Access field, is reverse under SQLserver ? I had to add "desc" to my code "order by field desc" to retrieve the correct display.
I am writing a package to process perfmon logs. The issue I have come across is that the perfmon process holds onto the log file and SSIS fails because it wants to exclusive read access. Is there any way of getting SSIS to not take an exclusive read on the file.
After an internet search I have some questions regarding SQL Server access from a mobile device via LAN / WLAN.
I will write a application in C that write data to an SQL server. First if I correct that's not possible to acces an SQL server via ODBC on Windows CE? What alternatives are there?
Hi All, I have MS Access 97 database and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (or SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition). I want online get data from MS Access and upload to SQL Server.
I am new to SQL Server but have been using Access to provide Multi-User acces to a central data store. We are evaluating the replacement of Access with SQL Server. With Access we don't need any special installation; I believe that the Jet Database Engine installed locally on each user's PC allows them to work with this in a disconnected manner; we use ADO.net 2.0 with VB.net 2005.
If each user has a locally installed SQL Server Express can they all attach to a database that resides on a shared network location?
In another post on the Forum I see the following regarding multi-user access: Our application You will need to pick a central computer that everyone will be using the access the data and attach the file to the parent instance of SQL Express on that comuter, giving it a name that you can use to access it. Then you will need to modify your connection string to connect to the named database on the central server...
Can multiple locally installed SQL Server Express instances attach to a single data store that resides on a shared network location?
If not, what permissions do I need to create a parent instance of SQL Server Express?
Thank you for helping me understand how to implement our solution.
Hello:I run one process that calls the following the store procedure andworks fine.create PROCEDURE sp_GetHostSequenceNumASBEGINSELECT int_parameter_dbf + 1FROM system_parameter_dbtWHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'UPDATE system_parameter_dbtSET int_parameter_dbf = int_parameter_dbf + 1WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'ENDGOIf I run two processes that call the above store procedure, I mightoccasionally get the dirty data of int_parameter_dbt. I guess that iscaused by two processes accessing to the same resource simultaneously.Is there any way to lock the store procedure call from MSSQL Serverand allow only one process to access it at a time?Thanks for help.Best Jin
I am developing an asp.net app using visual web developer. I am using a sql server 2005 db for the back end. I have learned that I have to restart my machine if I want to work with the db in SQL Server 2005 Express after working with it in Visual Web Developer.
I am wondering why this is. I am assuming that the db is locked when it is used with VWD. Is this correct? Am I refering to it's status of "locked" correctly? Should I call this something else?

Carlos writes "I am trying to create a sp that would jump from one DB to another using the USE command. I built a string and then I tried to run EXECUTE(@SQLString) with no lock. This is the sample code I am using:

Using ADO.NET Or regular queries on SQL Server, is there a good way ofdetermining if a Stored Proc will be returning a result set or if it isa non-query that does all I/O through parameters?Thanks.
Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.
