Ideal Local For Data Directory
May 12, 2008
I am currently deploying a desktop application that uses SQL Express as a local data source. I load data from other sources into the local database and then use that data for my application. Currently I'm deploying the MDF file into a Data folder within my application folder. I'm finding that most of the users that will be using this application has only power user rights, not admin rights.
My question is this. Is using a data folder within my application folder the ideal place to store this data or is there other more benefitial places within the users computer that would help reduce rights and permissions issues? When users upgrade to Vista will this cause any problems that another location might help me avoid?
Appreaciate any opinions.

Hi,
Here's my situation. Every day I will be downloading extracts to a folder. The extracts are named:
20070529.Extract1.csv
20070528.Extract1.csv
20070527.Extract1.csv
20070529.Extract2.csv
20070528.Extract2.csv
20070527.Extract2.csv
So, on any given day, I will want to find the most recent versions of Extract1 and Extract2, for example:
20070529.Extract1.csv & 20070529.Extract2.csv
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks much

I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.
Thanks in advance.

This is DataSet retriving code from IBUYSPY Events Module.
public DataSet GetEvents(int moduleId) {
// Create Instance of Connection and Command Object
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionString"]);
SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter("GetEvents", myConnection);
// Mark the Command as a SPROC
myCommand.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// Add Parameters to SPROC
SqlParameter parameterModuleId = new SqlParameter("@ModuleId", SqlDbType.Int, 4);
parameterModuleId.Value = moduleId;
myCommand.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterModuleId);
// Create and Fill the DataSet
DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
myCommand.Fill(myDataSet);
// Return the DataSet
return myDataSet;
}
My Question is
1) Is this ideal way to retrive data?
2) Will it return connection back to pool?

What is the ideal hardware configuration for SQL Server 2000? We have about 2 dozen databases - ranging in size from 500 MB up to 90 GB. All databases have very heavy traffic from multiple users on the same app. There are about 8 reads for every write, averaging about 8 million writes per 24-hour period.
Currently we have these databases split across 2 servers with 4 2.4 Ghz hyperthreaded processors and have 8 GB of RAM. The disks are 10,000 RPM SCSI, and are all in one very large physical disk array split into 2 logical drives per server. Logs and data for multiple databases are all sharing the same array.
Performance is becoming a pressing issue. Our Network administrator is 100% that the hardware configuration is not an issue, and I am 100% convinced it is at least a major part of the issue. Does anyone here feel that it may be the issue?

Hi
What should be the ideal number of joins that should be used in a query? In some books it says anything beyond 7 joins should be re-considered. Is this correct. We have application where the number of joins are more than 25 and in some cases it is beyond 50. I am looking for some guidelines as it will help to design the table in the best possible way. I am not looking for reporting type of queries; instead they are all the business logic.
thanks
Sanjay

Hi All,
We have this SSIS package that serves a ETL role, but sometimes when the package crashes we wanted our support personnel to be aware of it, so we did implement an Event handler Package, executable is the package and Event Handler on taskFailed. The idea is if any of the Tasks fail, then trigger the event handler.
Now recently I found out while debugging the package, one of the DFT's failed, and the control went to the Event handler. But thenrest of the Task's are executing and the package finished successfully.
How do I ensure that if at all some Tasks fail, the control should invoke the task at the event handler and end the package run.
One more query, what is the ideal and best way of Event handling to be followed in case of ETL jobs ?
Thanks in Advance.

Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

When sql 2005 is created a cert is also created in the Data directory of that instance. What is that cert? Is it the Service Master Key? I noticed that I can movecopydelete it while sql server is running so it doesn't appear to be very secure..

I've created a number of very large databases in Ms Access that I would like to upsize to SQL Server Express. I changed the default data directory location to point to a separate drive with over 400GB of free space on my home pc. However, everytime I try to upsize or link databases using the MS Access Upsizing Wizard the data is saved in the Data directory on my current hard drive and is not saved in the default location I specified. If I create a new database in SQL Express it is saved to the new location. Any ideas on how to force upsizing or uplinked data to go to the new default data location?

Currently looping through the set of flat files like CHK0604, CHK0611, CHK0618, and CHK0625 from the source folder C:SOURCE
OBJECTIVE within the flat file if any records/rows cause error i have to move the bad data into separate folder C:ERROR
STEPS TAKEN
1) In FOREACH LOOP component i specified the variable User:: sourceFilePath for my source file CHK0604 etc. location C:SOURCE. The loop walkthrough each file in C:SOURCE and if no error then moves the flat file into another folder C:ARCHIVED. This task is perfectly working.
2) Within the dataflow I am diverting the the bad rows from "conditional component" into "Flat File Destination" Component.
3) "Flat File Destination" Connection manager i set the expressions as @[User:: sourceFilePath] +"_Error.TXT".
ISSUE
Because of point (3) the error file is created in the SOURCE flat file location C:SOURCE.
QUESTION
1) My error file name should be CHK0604_Error, CHK0611_Error, CHK0618_Error, CHK0625_Error created in another folder C:ERROR.
2) How to move the bad data into another directory while looping through a set of FLAT FILES ?
3) If i have to create another variable like @[User:: ErrorFilePath] where to create ? How to use the source file title as the title of error file.?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
I had SQL Server 2000 installed like below:
Installation Directory = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server
Default data directory = D:
Default log directory = D:
I found out that the data is stored in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata and backup is done in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup
However, Microsoft says we should never put the ..ackup and ..data folders in the same partition.
My question is: How can I move the path of the backup directory?
I checked the registy but this is what I found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer
..BackupDirectory=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup (<-- note it is pointing to C: not D:)
..DefaultData=D:
Can somebody help please?

Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL 2005 and Reporting Services.
We are trying to create a report that will display sales data based on group membership from Active Directory.
For example, if USER1 logs in and looks at a Year to Date Sales report, it will only show data that pertains to his group. If USER2 logs in and accesses the same report, it will display different Year to Date information because he is in a different group.
Background Information: We are running SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 with Analysis and Reporting Services. We are delivering the reports through a Sharepoint site.
Please let me know if anyone has a good way to tackle this.
Thanks,
Justin

We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Hi All,
I am completely new to VS2005 and .net2.0 but I am learning fast! But one thing that I am struggling with is the deployment of my website, or to be more precise the deployment of the data that was created during development on my local machine.
I have used VS2005 to create a simple personal site. I have created a single user (myself) in an admin and friends role. So far so good. The site works great on my local machine, all the default photos provided with the site display correctly etc and I can log in OK.
My remote server (ie my web hosts) provide me with a separate SQL server on which to install my databases. I have created a database on this server and configured it so that it contains all the correct tables and schemas etc. I have modified my web config file to connect to this database and when I browse to my default.aspx page it displays in my browser fine...EXCEPT that none of the data ( ie the photos and user data) is in the database so therefore no pictures display and I can't log in!!
What I can't figure out is how do I get all the data from my local app_data folder into my new remote database!!?? I can't find anything that explains how to do this. Surely this is one of the most important operations of all since data is what .net2.0 is all about!
Thanks in anticipation

Hi,
I have two queries as under:
QUERY 1:
SELECT * FROM
OPENQUERY(MYSERVER, 'SELECT * FROM SCOPE() WHERE FREETEXT(''Text to Search'')') AS Docs
QUERY 2:
SELECT MediaID, LawID, LawDate, Agreement, Name, NameSearch, LawType, LawNo, RegID, IssueNo, Attachment
From Dept_LegalLaw
INNER JOIN Dept_LegalMinistries ON Dept_LegalLaw.RegID = Dept_LegalMinistries.RegID
INNER JOIN Dept_LegalLawType ON Dept_LegalLaw.LawID = Dept_LegalLawType.LawID
WHERE 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1 AND 1=1
both queries are working fine separately and I can generate the desired results separately, but I cannot merge them to get one single result for example, after a FREETEXT search I want to get some values from my local table (Query2) to display as one result. Like in Query1 FREETEXT will search the web page based on the given text and in Query2 will select the remaining data from the local database (Title, ID, Name etc etc).
Try many thing but no success yet.
Need urgent help.
Thanks
