Hi everyone,
I am working on a Hospital Information System project with a team of 6.Each one of us builds or modifies a part of the system and shares the project over a common repository. The problem here is that we use the absolute path of the database in our connection string. Although the directory structure of our project is the same for each member, since the main project folder itself is stored in different locations on each person's computer (for example, one may have it stored in c:My Documents and the other in d: My Documents), we are forced to modify the connection string manually each time someone else from the team updates the repository with the database. How do we make the path of the database relative so that we don't have to modify the connection string manually each time after receiving an update from the repository?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I know this has been a topic of discussion before and I have read and tried the suggestions to no avail. I have a few .dbf files to import into my sql database and I know that one needs to make a oledb connection to these files.
I am using the Jet provider and have tried setting the extended properties to all of the DBASE versions and still cannot get it to connect. These files' names are shorter than 8 chars so that issue is no problem in this case.
I can actually get these files to show in a Microsoft Access 2008 database when I import it from there so I know that I must be missing something in my SSIS project.
After doing some reading on this topic, it would seem that this shouldn't be such a schlepp but, here I am
Maybe I need to install some driver or somethin?

Did the troubleshooter on M$ Knowledgebase, still did not work.
Still get the above and this error:

Went to install SP3, and now It won't let me continue without an sa password.

Oh, the fun of it all! :)
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a simple question but I'm having a really hard time finding an answer.
Let's say I'm designing a DTS package, and I have a connection to a SQL Server called ConnSQL. How do I reference this connection in my ActiveX script? (so I can run SQL queries and such)
Thanks
I have a endpoint on our SQL Server and I've written a test .Net app to access it and it all works great. It uses the Integrated Login for Authentication.
My project in the end will have connections made to the endpoint via some custom code on a Non Windows/Linux platform. My concern is that there is no Authentication method that I can use from this client. Integrated is out since it not something you log into. SSL is out since there is no Cert store. Isn't there a way to use the SQL Authentication in a Mixed mode SQL Authentication install?
What are my other options? I need to be able to get data from our SQL server from this custom platform. We looked into using TDS protocol, but would rather not have to license it and develop a client on our platform. We wanted to just generate the HTTP Packets to send and receive the data.
Thank you,

Hi All,
The problem I am facing is related to dynamic configuration of package one of the package connection is DB2 connection, I tried to set the expression connection string for that connection to the variable which contains the connection string to the DB2 but when I set connection the String property then i get the error message in transformation that password is missing, I dont want to write password in connection String for security reasons so I tried to save password in connection which is not helpful I am getting the same error message package security setting I changed to "Encrypt Sensitive Data with User Key" , anywayout to overcome this problem?
Thanks,

Hi
I have recently downloaded SQL Server Express which I have installed using Windows authentication mode. I cannot seem to be able to make a connection to SQL Server from Dreamweaver or Microsoft Visual Web Developer as I am getting an error Server does not exist or access is denied....
I am relatively new to all of this, so would appreciate any advice....
When I installed SQL Server Express I chose Windows Authentication. When I fire up SQL Express and view Security option - the installation program has set up an sa login with a random password. I did not set this password, but think this might be a reason why I can't connect. To rectify the problem I tried creating a new user in SQL Server Express with a password that I specified. On going in to check the settings, I notice SQL Server Express has gone and changed it from the password that I set up.
Now when I try and connect to SQL Server Express I specify the following in the connection paramaters
Server: BGIRLSQLEXPRESS
Database The database name that I've created
User: the new user that I created
Password: the password I created as part of new user setup
Now I get error message Server does not exist or access denied
Is the problem to do with passwords or perhaps one of the many parameters one seems to have to set up? How can I change a password if I didn't create it? Is there anywhere I can reset it?
PLEASE HELP - I have literally spent 3 days attempting to get this working and am about to give up entirely. Due to my lack of experience, I need very specific step by step instructions..
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Is this an intrinsic issue?
I actually work in an organisation and we have to find a solution about the data consistancy in the database. our partners use to send details to the organisation and inserted directly in the database, so we want to create a new database as a buffer database to insert informations from the partners then make an update to the main database. is there a better solution instead of that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOur project is on SSIS 2012 and we are using the project deployment model. We have parameter the connection managers, created environments, environment variables and configured the references. Hence, when we deploy the solution to higher environments, the connection strings are picked from the environments and not the ones stored in the connection manager.
However, we face issues when in development environment, we need to run the same package but by entering the values manually in the connection manager. Even though the connection details are correct, when we execute the package from Visual Studio, SSIS is not able to connect to the database. Is there any way to have SSIS prompt for the connection details after we have click on "Execute Task" or "Start" from Visual Studio?
Hi.
I am almost wrapping up a project of my own and I will have the option to restore the database, so dropping the existing one and then running the SQL script to create the database, tables, stored procedures and so on.
My question is, (using .NET 2.0 C#) - what is the best way to resolve the "cannot drop database as it is currently in use" message, or some message of the similar sort?
Even though I specified "USE MASTER" in the commandText string, there will be somewhere, in a situation, where the database will still be in use.
How can I forcefully make it NOT in use, drop it and do other things I like to?
What is the best way?
Many thanks!

Hi!
Do you now if it is possible to make database unavailable for users after business hours and how.
Thank you in advance,
Elena.
No, I don't need a step-by-step (necessarily). I've been looking at W3Schools tutorial and it says to:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Person
(
LastName varchar,
FirstName varchar,
Address varchar,
Age int
)
But what is that? A text file saved with a .sql extension. Something typed at a command prompt? Is there an SQL interface?

Is there an easier or more simple way to do this or do you have any pointers on where to start? any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:angel:

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I found a database file and a log file over 2G on mssql 2000 server. Actually, they only need around 200M. I try to backup, truncate the database in order make the size smaller. But the size cannot be smaller. How can I do it?
Simon
When you make a join, it may look something like this:
SELECT Products.ProductName from Products, Categories
WHERE Categories.CategoryName = 'Seafood' AND
Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID
In this query you use 'Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID' to give the relation between the two tables. But if you already added the relationships to your database, this should be known.
My question is, why is it necessary to add the relation in the query when the relationships are already in the database? Is it somehow possible to ommit the relation in the query and make use of the relationships in the database.
Kind regards,
Iwan Rotteveel
I'm trying to make a copy of our 2005 SQL Server production database (25 meg) so we can install it in a new office being set up in another state. I have right clicked on the database I want to copy, selected Tasks, then option Copy Database... I'm trying to put the copy on the same server, and I am doing this work signed into the Management Studio as "sa" The wizard creates 5 steps, the first 4 run ok, then the 5th step runs for 10 to 20 seconds, then quits. The message says to look in the log on the server for the reason it quit. The only log I can find is the Error Logs at the bottom of the Object Explorer window. I look into the current log, then select the SQL Server log, the current one. There is only one line in here about the copy I just tried, and it only says "Starting up database XXXXXXXX" which is the database I'm trying to create through the copy process. Within Database Mail, SQL Agent, and Windows NT log lines, I can not find any reference to the copy job that just bombed. Needless to say, I'm VERY new to all of this SQL Server admin stuff. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would really help! Thanks!
