Hi everybody,
This is propably very silly question...
I've used SQL Server for sometime now, but always through tools supplied by my hosts (my Little Admin, SQL Server Web Admin).
I always wanted to try running the real thing, so I've installed SQL Server 2K developer edition on my machine. I also have IIS and .NET framework running.
What would be the next step to see those 3 components in action? I have noticed Northwind database in the Enterprise Manager. How do I make the connection?
I have the SQL Server Service Manager running fine, but when I open Query Analyzer it comes up with the window "Connect to SQL Server" and this little dropdown, where you can choose the server is actually empty. What do I do?
Thank you all for your pointers.
Here's a nice little scenario:
Say you have users who would be accessing a SQL Server database over the web from around the world (mainly the US, Japan, and UK), and you wanted to make the access as fast as possible.
Say also you have a couple of million dollars for hardware and software.
What architectures would you build?
Thanks.

Hi!
I want to get hole through to Analysis Services 2005
from MS SQL Server 2005 with openquery,
so I created linked server (MSOLAP).
How to test that I can access an "database" on Analysis Services Server?
Something like select * from openquery(linked_olap, getdate())
or openquery(linked_olap, 'print hello world')
or openquery(linked_olap, select results from dataminingmodelCreatedWithVstudio)
?
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to capture date time in my SQL during a certain operation. This piece of data will be displayed to an ASP.NET page.
When displaying the date time, I want it converted to the local time zone equivalent as set in the user's operating system.
What setup do I need on the SQL and the coding in the ASP.NET page?
Thanks.
In the world of J2EE, What are JSF component that maps to
the .Net list components?
I was told I can use them with SQLDataSources, but I have no clue how to do it.
I believe I have managed to set up the querry in the datasource correctly, but what do I need to do to actually use it in my VB code?
Any help is appreciated, and any tutorials you've found to be usefull on the subject are sure to help.
Thanks
I am creating a SSRS report with geographic world map. I am able to to download few shape files and use them.
However, the maps which i have downloaded misses few locations (for e.g. South Sudan which was formed few years back).
Where can i find the latest world map shape file?
Hi all,
New to replication
I need suggestions on how go about keeping 2 sql servers from different parts of the world to be in sync all times, some latency may be accepted.
Here is the senario,
we have website hosted in NA and customers from all parts of the world log in to oursystem and does what ever they have to do which will update the sql server databases. as our company is expanding we want to have a same website hosted in eu, so when ever a person logs from eu he will be hitting the webservers in eu and anything he do will go to the SQL database servers that are in eu. Now the problem i have is when one site goes down say NA site goes down, we need to route all the traffic to site in EU that means sql servers in EU. This brings the challenge of both the servers need to be in sync all times.
I did some research on merge replication, this might not work because in this concept we have to make 1 server as the master and the others as slaves. Also i need to think in a way that if they want to expand more that means to asia, i will be having another server, these all need to be in Sync.
We are using SQL Server 2005 standard edition.
I was reading that this can be achived easily with peer-to-peer replication,but is only available in Enterprise edition which is 4times the cost of standard edition.My company is not going to agree for this, so got to do the research and propose a solution
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Real World: Backup Strategy and implementation, how?
A quote:
€œReal World:
Whether you back up to tape or disk drive, you should use the tape rotation technique. Create multiple sets, and then write to these sets on a rotating basis. With a disk drive, for example, you could create these back files on different network drives and use them as follows:
//servername/data1drive/backups/AWorks_Set1.bak. Used in week 1, 3, 5 and so on for full and differential backups.
//servername/data2drive/backups/AWorks_Set2.bak. Used in week 2, 4, 6 and so on for full and differential backups.
//servername/data3drive/backups/AWorks_Set3.bak. Used in the first week of the month for full and differential backups.
//servername/data4drive/backups/AWorks_Set4.bak. Used in the first week of the quarter for full and differential backups.
Do not forget that each time you start a new rotation on a tape set, you should overwrite the existing media. For example, you would append all backups in week 1. Then, when starting the next rotation in week 3, you would overwrite the existing media for the first backup and then append the remaining backups for the week.€?
I understand these concepts, however in €˜the real world€™ how do you go about implementing these jobs in SQL2K and how on earth do you schedule the tasks to overwrite, for example, week 1, when on week 3€™s rotation.
Could I have real world examples or scripts for the jobs that would carry out this task? It appears that whatever course you do, it does not fully cover the above, and I have only worked on my own and never with a DBA, so I have never seen this implemented in any environment.
I would like full details on this please, as I need to get my head around it.
Thanks

Hi All,
We are trying to read a table name Order through command line SQLcmd.
But it is giving us an error. Order is an SQl2005 reserver word and app programmer created that table who left. No we have problem to read that table through sqlcmd. any ide a how we can do that.
C:>sqlcmd
1> use ACCMedford
2> select * from 'Order'
3> go
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server ACCMedford, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near 'Order'.
1> select * from "order"
2> go

Incorrect syntax near 'order'.
1> select * from order
2> go
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Server ACCMedford,, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'order'.
I have gone through the table partitioning in MSDN, like Designing Partitions to Manage Subsets of Data . But how to do this in actual world, since some db need to partition for 7 days, then archive these days records on the 8th day, while other prefer 14 days/monthly, and run this repetitively for many years? If this is running weekly, how can i generate the scheme and function dynamically? What if ID for row count is not viable?
Sure this will not work:
Code Snippet
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [TransactionRangePF1] (datetime)
AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES ('10/01/2003', '10/02/2003', '10/03/2003',
'10/04/2004', '10/05/2004', '10/06/2004', '10/07/2004');
GO
Then how to drop partition periodically?
How do you stop anyone from the outside world from viewing the report manager?
From typing eg( www.mywebaspreportapp.com/Reports) and directly accessing the report manager?
Is there a security step i missed somewhere?
I have traditionally done web app and client server programming and am have been playing around with a new tool (Win forms) app that I eventually want to distribute to other developers and a couple of business people in our organization. I have done apps in the past that all connect to a central server for data access. The I'm working on now will have an individual DB per user and should be available locally for a desktop version of the software.
I am looking for more resources on things to consider when deploying an app with either MSDE or SQL 2005 Express. More specifically, items like long term maintenance of the db once it's installed with the user, etc. (DB bloat, transaction files, auto maintenance routines I may want to build in, etc)
I have seen all of the msdn docs on what you need to deploy (and how to do it), but I'm looking fro input from people that have deployed it and any significant pitfalls they have run into with that sort of deployment.
Any links or book references would be appreciated, thank you,

Hi everyone,
I€™m suffering a queer behaviour when I use BIDS. Concretely, when I open a dtsx from my project (it has 10 packages) many times Sequence Container and Data Flow tasks are invisible. I mean, its lines are not visible at all whereas its titles are. I mean, what you see is just a white box€¦
Then, I€™m gonna Data Flow layer and I have to do double-clik over the tasks and are visible but on Control Flow I don€™t see how to solve.
Curiously in our development and production server such behaviour doesn€™t happen (we are accessing by mean Terminal Server from our workstations)
How odd!. Everything is fine except this.
I want to remark you that such project has been copied from the server, this is, these packages are been built on the server

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have table in my db thats used as a temporary table. At the end of the day it contains thousands of records which get summarized then all are deleted. I recently moved the application over to a new server with pretty much the same hardware config and noticed a big performance hit when running queries on this temp table (455 milliseconds as opposed to 1) In short, the fix was dropping the table and re-creating it.
Anybody know how this could be? I know that even if you delete records from a table, the table still seems to retain its physical size on the hard drive, could this have something to do with it?
Thanks
CREATE TABLE #users(users varchar(50),pasw varchar(50),title varchar(50))
insert into #users select 'test','abcdef','ceo'
SELECT * FROM #users
alter table #users alter column pasw nvarchar(50)
update #users set pasw=pwdencrypt(pasw)
SELECT * FROM #users
What happens to the TITLE column?
I had a table like the above with users and passwords in the Production DB. The password column had VARCHAR type. I changed it to NVARCHAR and encrypted the passwords. When i executed the SELECT *, the title column appeared like this. :eek:
If i query the table by column names instead of * i see the correct values. I couldn't understand what behaviour is it.
Howdy!

I am using c# and ASP.NET 2 and I am getting a very strange error. I
have a field called CompanyID in SQL Server 2005, and it allows null
values in it. When this CompanyID is not NULL, ie for example it is
202, then when i press the update button it allows me to update
perfectly in the database. However if the CompanyID is NULL,
and I try to update the companyID, to lets say 202, the application
just crashes with the following message:- System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I tried to set some breakpoints in the application to debug, however it does not even pass through these breakpoints! Any ideas on what the problem can be or how I can debug? Thanks for your help and time Johann
This is the actual statement displayed from Response.Write in classic ASP. INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '06-012497',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'2006-Oct-3',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum = '000002' There are 4 records returned from the SELECT part of the statement. In some situations, 4 records are inserted to WOTasks table, in others, only 1 record is inserted. I can't find out why 1 record, instead of 4, record is inserted. A form page submits the form to the save page using post method. The above statement is contained in the save page. When one of the form textbox is filled, 1 record is inserted. When the textbox is not filled, 4 records are inserted. You may think the textbox has something to do with the behaviour. I also think so but the content of the textbox does not affect the sql statement. In both cases, the insert statement is the same. In the actual codes, only strings in quotes are variables and the rest are hardcoded. When I run the statement in SQL Server, 4 records are affected. No such problem when connected with Access.The actual code belowSub AddTask(ByVal proc, ByVal wonum) Dim sSQL sSQL = "INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '" & wonum & _ "',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'" & curDate & "',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum='" & proc & "'" 'Response.Write sSQL:Response.End conn.Execute sSQL, , 128 End Sub
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there I have this statement I have written as follows:strCommand = "SELECT * FROM tblstock WHERE Type='"&Statement &"' AND Description like'"&criteria &"%' OR Tag like'"&criteria &"%'OR Location like'"&criteria &"%' OR LAN like'"&criteria &"%' OR RAM like'"&criteria &"%' OR CD like'"&criteria &"%' OR OS like '" &criteria &"%' OR SN like'" &criteria &"%' OR DeviceStatus like'" &criteria &"%' ORDER BY " &sSortStr The variable "Statement" is passed into the sub as "PC" which means only records of type "PC" should be displayed along with any other criteria. The issue I'm having is that when I specify criteria I'm also recieving other types eg "Cameras" if they contain any of my criteria.. I can't understand how because in the statement I tell it only to display records of type "PC".. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

I have the latest service pack.
Has anyone ever come across this before or have and suggestions ?
I have a query as follow:
SELECT @resRate = (SELECT resRate FROM ProjectAssign WHERE proNo = (SELECT projNo FROM Timer_Cust WHERE refNum = @actProjNo AND username= (SELECT username FROM Timer_Emp WHERE refNum = @actEmployee) ) )
the definition of table Timer_cust contains refNum(int), projNo(varchar) and projName(varchar).Timer_cust table doesn't contain column username. So this query shoud generate a runtime error. however it works fine without error.But if I run SELECT projNo FROM Timer_Cust WHERE refNum = @actProjNo AND username= (SELECT username FROM Timer_Emp WHERE refNum = @actEmployee)A runtime error message appears.Why?
Can any one tell me why sp_helpindex shows several indexes though there is only one index on the table. When i use Enterprise manager it shows only one index..Any idea..is it a bug ..do I need to apply latest service pack ?

i have four separate jobs which run at scheduled time daily..out of which one job has run properly and the other three have not run at all(there is no details of it in "View job history")for only one day in between..again from the next day all the four jobs are running properly.what could be the reason for the three jobs not running on a particular day?(The jobs were scheduled between 3 and 4am in the morning..so nobody would be using the system at that time and the system was definitely up at that time as that one job has run)
i could afford to have such strange behaviour in future as the jobs are important and should run daily.any ideas by which i could make sure all four jobs run daily?
