We used windows authentication and we have our domain users set up to perform certian tasks like input time on their time sheet. Then I found out thru excel you can connect to the database and select any table that you have read access on. Then you can download all of the data to an excel workbook.
What is the best way to stop this?
I have a requirement where we have to connect to two different data-sources one is Database Table and another one is Excel Source. I know we can do this by creating a SSIS package and loading the excel data into database table and then based on some relationship between the tables we can create the data-set in SSRS. But I am looking for some other approach where I can do this without creating the SSIS package.

Hi!
Does anybody could show me how to connect my Excel 97 to MS SQL Server 7 using ODBC? What are the MS Office Components needed for the connection and the necesary MS SQL server component, server and client, needed?
Thanks a lot.
I had been using Excel to connect to SQL server. This worked merrily for about 6 months then I had reason to reinstall Visual Studio.
Now I've reinstalled that, my connection between Excel ans SQL Server won't work. I thought the ADO code I had put in my VBA macro would be sufficient to connect, but obviously I need to do something else, but what? Please help!
Do I need to create an ODBC connection in Control Panel? Or something else?
The code is unchanged from before and the VBA project does reference the ADO object Library.
(OS : Windows Vista Ultimate)
I have created SSAS package successfully.
When I try to connect from excel , to SSAS Getting error message like
A Connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
If I connect to SSIS , I'm able to connect correctly.
Why I'm getting this error and how to overcome this?

I am working (or trying to work) in Management Studio. I have one database that I use on my one and only machine. ( I am not using any of the default databases.) I have several queries saved as files, which I open as needed. Every time I open a file I get that VERY ANOYING Connect to Database Engine dialog box. OK, it's no big thing. I don't use Server Authentication so all I have to do is hit enter and I get connected. But why should I even have to hit enter once after I'm already connected?
How can I MAKE IT STOP?

I am reading a guide telling how to create a private server and it says I need to restore the database. So I go to File->Open->File->My Computer->Local Disk->Program Files->Microsoft SQL Server->MSSQL.1->MSSQL->Data->GunzDB. Then the following message comes up: "The file cannot be opened because it is being used by another process. Please close all applications that might access this file and try again."
The question is, how do I get past this? I need the answer as soon as possible, I am a newb with this program so I don't entirely know what I am doing. I have tried searching for the answer, but I cannot find anything.
Thank you.

View 8 Replies View Relatedhow to combine measures and fields coming from an analytical model (tabular) along with some Excel calculations. Basically I want to provide users with a simple report (to be displayed in SharePoint Excel services) containing charts and slicers. The data comes from a tabular model, and most of the calculations are in the model as well.However there is some little tweaking that must be done. For example I might need additional calculated columns, but I don't feel the need to modify the tabular model for that. I was wondering if I could do this within Excel as well -- but without having to bring all the data through a pivot table, then manipulate it and then show it on the report. So to be clear I do not want any pivot tables lying around, even if on a hidden sheet.
I noticed that when selecting a pivot chart in Excel, at the ribbon menu under "PIVOTCHART TOOLS"/"ANALYSE" there is a group of buttons named "Calculations". One of them is named OLAP Tools.Is it fair to assume that these options will allow me to create new measures at the Excel side, without affecting my tabular model?
Hi all,
I have a 400MB Excel file that I consume from another automated process (don't ask). I copy this file down locally to my server, and I am attempting to create an SSIS package that points to this file via a connection manager. My computer starts gobbling up massive amounts of memory (devenv.exe gets up to about 800MB or so, then drops back down to 100MB) even when I attempt to rename the connection in the connection managers tab.
I have set all BypassPrepare to TRUE and ValidateExternalMetadata properties to FALSE, and still it can take up to 3 to 6 minutes for BI Dev Studio to respond. My specs:
Intel Centrino Duo 2.00 GHz
2GB RAM
XP Pro SP2
There MUST be a way for me to work effectively on a file of this size. Please help! Thanks much for any assistance.

We have 3 maintenance jobs configured in this particular DB instance:
Daily backup of system database - SubPlan1 (Check Database Integrity Task --> Rebuild Index Task-->Backup Database Task)Daily backup of user databases - Five subplans for each task : (Check DB integrity --> Rebuild Index -->Backup User Database, Backup Log -->Cleanup History)Weekly maintenance - SubPlan1 (Check Database integrity job (system+user DB) + rebuild index job (system+user DB) )
PROBLEM: I just noticed that the User DB Rebuild Index task has been running since the 03/04 and the Weekly maintenance plan - subplan1 since the 12/04.
Which job is "safe" to stop without impacting the database?
Hi, I'm specify the size of the interger dataypes in my code behind files; e.g.
commad.Parameters.Add("@SomeID", SqlDbType.Int, 4)
I know it may seem silly, but I have to ask:
Will specifying ths size (i.e. 4) eventually stop the auto-icnrement of the underlying primary key SomeID in the SQL Server 2005 database?
What restriction, if any, does this place if the next SomeID value is 10000, which is 5 digits? or 999999, which is 6 digits?
Thank you
Hi all,
In the VB 2005 Express, I can get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString of a Database "shcDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) by the following set of code:
///--CallshcSpAdoNetVB2005.vb--////
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlTypes
Public Class Form1
Public Sub InsertNewFriend()
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Try
connection.Open()
Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
.......................................
etc.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If the Database "shcDB" and the Stored Procedure "sp_inertNewRecord" are in the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express, I plan to use "Data Source=local" in the following code statements to get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString:
.........................
........................
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=local;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Try
connection.Open()
Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
........................
etc.
Is the "Data Source=local" statement right for this case? If not, what is the right code statement for my case?
Please help and advise.
Thanks,

Hi all,I come up with a problem aleady discussed in some posts especially in the post http://forums.asp.net/t/1235761.aspx. but I got in not finally solved.The main problem is connecting to a database twice which causes errors. So I think this might be the right place to ask my questions. Here ist the problem in short:I'm using VWD on XP-Professional with SQL-Server Express and Reporting Services Express. All with Windwos Integrated Security and User Instance (SQLExpress). In my web-application I had for all Datasources the connect string:Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True This works fine so far. I also have Reports designed with the Report designer using the same connection string. I can preview the reports and I deployd thre reports successfully. I want to call these report using a report viewer web control.Now the problem:when I call the remote remote report from my web-application, the database cannot be opened because an other process is using the database (see post mentioned above). It seems that this is a problem with attaching the database twice: from the sql-server and from the report-server.So I used now a new connection string without "attaching" the database (in vwd and in report designer):Data Source=.SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=C:inetpubwwwrootmyappAPP_DATAmydatabase;Integrated Security=True Now everything works...but ... only on my machine. On the production machine this does not work. I wonder anyway, why its working on my machine, because I never "attach" the database (there is no connection string with AttachDbFilename and I have not opend the developer and have not opened the sql management studio).On the production machine the concurrent (SQL-Server and Report-Server) connection to database does not work with either connection strings, no matter if i attach the database with sql server manager or not).This all drives me crazy for days now. All I want is to use SQL-server and Reporting- Services with its nice features and not repairing my tools. I thought I have a standard Installation, nothing special, but the standard obviously makes problems.Here finally my question:Does this environment ( web-application with remote reports) with Express edition cause normally no problems?Can I "attach" a database only once? How should I connect with my web application that uses the sql-server connections and also the report-server-connections (attaching twice does not work).What connection strings to use and when (AttachDbFilename or Initial Catalog).Are these problems specific to the Express Editions? I thank you in advance for any help Dieter

For an assignment at school, I need to build an ASPX web page that looks up books in a database. This entails the use of a SQL database, and I am having issues trying to connect to the database.
here is a pic of the error I am getting:
I am using Visual WebDeveloper 2005 Express to do this in, and I can't find any options that pertain to the error above. I looked in the SQL configuration tools that I have installed, and I can't seem to find the correct options that I need.

Hi. I'm totally new here, and I'm not an expert when it comes to SQL, so bear with me. This is my dilemma:
I use Access 2000 to connect to my Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. Recently, our provider switched us from a shared server to a dedicated server. The site is up and running perfectly, but I can't connect to my database via Access anymore. Once I received the new location of the database, I ran odbcad32.exe and configured the database's DSN info where appropriate. I run the "Test Data Source..." function and the tests are seemingly successful. When I open my database using Access, I'm able to log in successfully, but when I click on any one of my linked tables, I get the following error:
Could not execute query; could not find linked table.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name
'NAMEOFDATABASE.NAMEOFTABLE'. (#208)
The support team at my provider are not exactly geniuses, so who knows if and when they'll be getting back to me. In the meantime, does anyone have a clue what might be causing this? Since the site is working perfectly, I assume the connection strings are okay and the database is perfectly intact (I even checked to see that the most recent entries were live), so what gives? If there's any more info I can provide, let me know. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I will post this on a c# forum as well but maybe someone has an answer here.
I want to connect to my database in a program i am coding with C#.
I have 3 databases in my SQL server (DB1, DB2, DB3)(perhaps schemas is the word to use) all under a connection called TEST (as opposed to SQLEXPRESS.
My connection string in my code is as follows:
string ConnectionString = "Data Source=.\TEST;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;";
My app reports a valid connection is made. WooHoo.
But,
When i try to do a select statement eg: Select * from DB1.Customers
I get the following error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'DB1.Customers'
I have tried removing the DB1. part from the select statement and specifying Database = DB1 in my connection string but that doesnt work either.
Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
