Is It A Good Idea To Use SQL2005 MDF For Audit, Exception Tracking
Feb 24, 2007
I am writing a web application that uses a Teradata database as the primary data source. While Teradata is great as a data warehouse and managing Terabytes of information it doesn't do as well when update or inserting. I was thinking of using a local SQL2005 MDF file to hold a few reference tables and an audit table to collect usage information and exception database to capture any errors.
There could be a few thousand users of the web application but no more than a couple hundred at a time.
I just trying to get some opinions on these technique. I am open to all comments and suggestions.
Thank You

Hi guysWe have a following problem. For security reasons in each table in ourDB we have addition field which is calculated as hash value of allcolumns in particular row.Every time when some field in particular row is changed we create andcall select query from our application to obtain all fields for thisrow and then re-calculate and update the hash value again.Obviously such approach is very ineffective, the alternative is tocreate trigger on update event and then execute stored procedure whichwill re-calculate and update the hash value. The problem with thisapproach is that end user could then change the date in the tables andthen run this store procedure to adjust hash value.We are looking for some solution that could speed up the hash valueupdating without allowing authorized user to do itThanks in advance,Leon

I have a complex select statement that is used in several stored procedures. I decided that instead of having x number of T-SQL scripts with the same exact select statement that I would to put this query into a view and then do a select * from View. Recently an instructor told me that this was a bad idea and that anyone who uses a select * from anything should be fired. When I asked for his reasoning his response was to say the least abnoxious. I can understand why a Select * from Table might be a bad idea as the table definition can change, but the chances of a view changing seems much less likely.
Is a view a good idea in this case? Is the Select * from View really a bad idea?
Thanks

Can anyone tell me if turning on the AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS option will have any adverse effects on performance? I've read that it is possible for it to adversely affect performance, because SQL Server “takes a quick break to update database statistics in the middle of the day”. The book does not explain why and I'm always leery of simply accepting something, simply because I’ve read it from a book. This is the first time that I’ve ever heard this and cannot find anything from SQL BOL or any other source.

Hi
I have about six different entities that can have zero or more note entities associated with them. The easy way to do this is obviously to have a different "note" table for each of the entities i.e. WorkItemNote, CustomerNote etc.. But I would much rather have a single "note" table since they would all be identical, so I came up with this design:
CREATE TABLE WorkItem
(
WorkItemGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()),
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
CREATE TABLE Customer
(
CustomerGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()),
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
CREATE TABLE Note
(
NoteId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ReferenceGuid uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
Text ntext NOT NULL,
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
This way I can get notes associated with a given entity, either Customer or WorkItem, by just selecting from the Note table with its WorkItemGuid or CustomerGuid.
My question is: Is this the best approach to what I am trying to accomplish?
(ps: Apologies if "many to one" is not the right terminology)
Regards, Egil.

Hi,
Today I discovered this command completely by accident and thought that ther are several places which we could use it in our apps.
Talking with a colleague, he is not to sure as it new to him too.
By using this to recover lost identity values, would this have any possible adverse effects on the table, indexes etc.
I can see potential problems when constraints are set between tables/keys. Anyone with any experience using this good and bad would be useful to hear.
Thanks

What would happen if I dropped the distribution db?
I'm having problems configuring distribution and after searching, I found someone that claims they solved the same problem by dropping the distribution db. The resolution is the last post on this thread: http://www.ureader.com/msg/11563430.aspx
Is this safe to do? There are currently no publications and the distribution server is not configured.
Thanks

Hi.I am wondering if it is a good idea to replicate sql server db filesusing frs.I don't really know how the frs works, sodoes frs replicates the whole database from time to time or just theportion that is changed?Also if the db is expected to change very often, and wouldn't it makethe whole system down?I wonder if it's a good idea just to make a backup of the database andcopy it.What's the usual practice?

I have an application that automatically reads a lot of data from a third-party application into my database, via XML. For example, I might read a couple thousand rows-worth of XML data, one row at a time in a foreach loop.
To reduce the load on their server and database, I thought about putting a 2 second delay in between each of my automatic requests. Would this really help much, or is there enough overhead (setting up/tearing down connections, etc) with each request that it wouldn't reduce server load much anyway?
Is 2 seconds enough? Too little or too much?

Hi Guys!
What's the best way to keep an audit trail of every insert, update, and delete of a certain table? Any example code out there? I'm thinking in terms of a trigger for each event, for instance, the update trigger would insert a new record into the audit table with a field for each column in the deleted table and a field for each column in the inserted table.
Thanx
Dave

Would be interested in any advice or comment on the issue we are experiencing with SQL 2005.
In order to test some DTS package migrations, we simply created a DTS package on SQL 2000 (using Export) to copy all database objects from one database to another.
Then we restored the source database on SQL 2005 server, migrated the DTS package, and tried to execute it.
The package migrated 'fine', ran part way, and then failed. Since then we have been unable to connect to the server (Database Engine, or Integration Services) using Windows Authentication. (Error 18456, Sev 16, State 11).
We can connect to the Database Engine using SQL Authentication (but not to Integration Services which only allows Windows Authentication).
We have been able to replicate this consistently - every annoying time we've tried it!
(Reinstalling SQL Server does 'fix' the issue ... until you try a similar package again).

I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on

Greetings everyone, I am attempting to build my first application using Microsofts Sql databases. It is a Windows Mobile application so I am using Sql Server Compact 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. When I try and insert a new row into one of my tables, the app throws the error message shown in the title of this topic.
'((System.Exception)($exception)).Message' threw an exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException'
My table has 4 columns (i have since changed my FavoriteAccount datatype from bit to Integer)
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k71/Scionwest/table.jpg
Account type will either be "Checking" or "Savings" when a new row is added, the user will select what they want from a combo box.
Next is a snap shot of my startup form.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k71/Scionwest/form.jpg
Where it says "Favorite Account: None" in the top panel, I am using a link label. When a user clicks "None" it will go to a account creation wizard, and set the first account as it's primary/favorite. As more accounts are added the user can select which will be his/her primary/favorite. For now I am just creating a sample account when the label is clicked in an attempt to get something working. Below is the code used.
private void lnkFavoriteAccount_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FinancesDataSet.BankAccountRow account = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount.NewBankAccountRow();
account.Name = "MyBank Checking Account";
account.AccountType = "Checking";
account.Balance = Convert.ToDecimal("15.03");
account.FavoriteAccount = 1;//datatype is an integer, I have changed it since I took the screenshot.
financesDataSet.BankAccount.Rows.Add(account);
//The next three lines where added while I was trying to get this to work.
//I don't know if I really need them or not, I receive the error regardless if these are here or not.
this.bankAccountTableAdapter1.Update(financesDataSet);
this.financesDataSet.AcceptChanges();
refreshDatabase();
}
the refreshDatabase() code is here:
private void refreshDatabase()
{
this.bankAccountTableAdapter1.Fill(this.financesDataSet.BankAccount);
//Aquire a count of accounts the user has
int numAccounts = financesDataSet.BankAccount.Count;
//Loop through each account and see which one is the primary.
for (int num = 0; num != numAccounts; num++)
{
//Works ok in frmMain_Load, but when my lnkFavoriteAccount_click calls this, it throws the error.
if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)
{
//Display the primary account on our home page. User can click the link label & be taken to their account register.
this.lnkFavoriteAccount.Text = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].Name.ToString();
this.lnkFavoriteFunds.Text = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].Balance.ToString();
break;
}
}
}
and my form_load code
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
refreshDatabase();
}
So, when I click on the lnkFavoriteAccount label, and my new row gets added, the app stops at the following line in my DataSet.Designer
[global:ystem.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
public byte FavoriteAccount {
get {
try {
return ((byte)(this[this.tableBankAccount.FavoriteAccountColumn]));
}
catch (global:ystem.InvalidCastException e) {
//Stops at the following line, this error was caused by 'if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)'
throw new global:ystem.Data.StrongTypingException("The value for column 'FavoriteAccount' in table 'BankAccount' is DBNull.", e);
}
}
set {
this[this.tableBankAccount.FavoriteAccountColumn] = value;
}
}
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, all of the code I used I retreived from Microsofts help documentation included with VS2008. I have tried used my TableAdapter.Insert() method and it still failed when it got to
if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)
in my refreshDatabase() method it still failed.
When I look, the data has been added into the database, it's just when I try to retreive it now, it bails on me. Am I retreiving the information wrong?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???

Hi,
I got an strange problem with one of my packages.
When running the package in VisualStudio it runs properly, but if I let this package run as part of an SQL-Server Agent job, I got the message "The script threw an exception: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown." on my log and the package ends up with an error.
Both times it is exactly the same package on the same server, so I don't know how the debug or even if there is anything I need to debug?

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

Hi all,
I am new to the DTS game - or at least to trying to do anything other than transfer rows between databases with identical structures.
I now need to create a far more complex DTS package to transfer data between an SQL Server database (I am using SQL Server 7.0) and an Oracle database. I have no trouble in making the connections and performing simple DTS's beween the two.
However, my current task is more complicated.
Problem 1:
In one database I would store fifty values as 5 five records each containing 10 values (i.e. has ten fields). However, in the other database these fifty values would all be stored as one record (i.e. one row with 50 fields). How could I go about creating a DTS to transfer this information?
Problem 2:
These values should only be transfered if certain conditions are met in an another unrelated table. For example, a flag in another table indicating that transfer of the said values should occur.
Any help with either of these problems would be much appraciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ross

If anybody can suggest the most efficient way to "page" the output from a big and wide table (about 7000000 records) in order to display on the web in the user requested sort order. Sort order could be on at least 7 different columns from 50 of returned.
I need to find a solution to move to the next and previous page.
Any Idea?

SELECT STATUS, [TM#], LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, [SSN#], HIREDATE, JOBTITLE

CREATE VIEW dbo.Update_Terminations

SELECT STATUS, TM#, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, SSN#, HIREDATE,
JOBTITLE

WHERE (STATUS = N'TERMINATED')
Base the Trigger on this View rather then on the Table itself????

Hi I'm new to sql and it would be great if someone could give some idea on how to do the following
This is the relational model:
Department(DeptNum, Descrip, Instname, DeptName, State, Postcode)
Academic(AcNum, DeptNum, FamName, GiveName, Initials, Title)
Paper(PaNum, Title)
Author(PaNum, AcNum)
Field(FieldNum, ID, Title)
Interest(FieldNum, AcNum, Descrip)
The question is :-
Which academics have the largest number of fields of interests? Return their academic number,
given name, family name, institution and total number of fields they are interested in. Your must use a
subquery in the sense that you must use 2 sql statements and use any of the following to connect both:-
1)Exists
2)Not exists
3)IN

However if at any point an error should occur I would like to roll back any changes.
Would a transaction be a bad idea when dealing with this many records?
