Hello, I have always closed my db connections asap after opening them and have always thought this was the best practice. But now I am wondering if I can just leave the connection open. I created a windows service which runs on a timer and executes every 5 seconds. The problem is that the code takes longer than that to process and the code may be executing three times at once. Im worried that since I use the same connection each time the code executes that a connection opened by the first run through may be closed or reopened by the second or third running of the code resulting in an error. The connection is opened and closed about 10 times each time the timer event fires. Should I open the connection once and leave it open when the service is started and close it when it is stopped or on any error?
I am used to writing applications that hit the database "every so often" and am happy with opening and closing the connection to SQL Server for each one.
I am now writing an application that monitors a table where rows are written to it by a 3rd party application at possibly several rows per second. My job is to "pickup" those rows, analyse the data and move them to different tables. This will be done with a timer which is currently set to tick every second.
My question is: At what stage should I start to think about keeping open a permanent connection to the database ?
I know that with traditional SQL systems, it is important to only open connections to a sql server when they are needed. However, since there is no "server" in mobile apps, is it bad practice to leave one open throughout the duration of an application?
The application is going to be constantly reading and writing to the data tables and it seems like it might be a good idea to leave it open.
Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?
Hi All, I have a table call case and case_status have two fields, date and status as below: date status 04/01/2006 open 04/05/2006 closed 04/10/2006 open 04/15/2006 closed Whenever i open and closed the case, one record is insert into the case_status table.

Just to verify that this was an issue, I downloaded web developer 2008 and I do not experience this same problem.
BUT when I go to add a dataset in vs2005 for an asp website - all my db files come up in the dialogue box but everyone that click (every db file) I get "This file is in use. Please enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."
But, like I said, I downloaded 2008 and it does not occur. Plus I KNOW that the db's are not being used. Can someone give me a remedy to this?
I am working on a stock price analysis project. Stock prices are stored in SQL Server as tick by tick data (that means in a high frequency) and need to be grouped by minutes in order to display them as as high, low, open and close prices in a candlestick or similar chart.
The fields in the table are:
Time (for every stock price tick) Price (stock price) Symbol (of the stock)
I get the below error only when my IDE open. It connects well when it is found closed. [SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'JPASPNET'.] I could solve this by giving the logged in windows user to impersonate under IIS window > WEBSITE > ASP.NET tab > EDIT CONFIG > APPLICATION tab But I wish someone could give me the proper solution. I almost tried all from giving ASPNET user as a administrator to configuring the same in Express management tool. Environment: XP pro, VWD and SQL Express
Post installation of SQL Server 2014 Express edition, I am able to connect to the Database Instance.
But while opening a new query window in SSMS or opening a table getting the error:
Package 'RadLangSvc.Package, RadLangSvc, Version 12.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, Public Token=89845dcd8080cc91' failed to load
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (mscorlib)..Have already tried installing the componentsDACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi, TSql LanguageService_enu.msi, DACFramework_enu.msi from path VS 2010 WCU DAC.
I am accessing SQL2005 with C# code using OleDbConnection.
A try and catch block catches the following error once a while between the Open() and Close() of the connection:
ExecuteNonQuery requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is closed.
I do not even have any idea where to start to debug this. The ExecuteNonQuery() runs a delete SQL query. It works 99.9% of the time. I do not see anything wrong when this error happens.

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server).
Please tell me what i have to do. If someone read me, please tell me and advice me how to fix above problem. Thanks
This code sample stops when I try to open a connection (see below). Ther error message reads "pipe provider , error 40". The help suggests that the credentials are wrong. I donīt think so, could there be another problem? Tough question but, I would appreciate any help.
Hi, Has somebody had a problem like this before? Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) That's part of the code: SqlConnection con; string sql; SqlCommand cmd; con=new SqlConnection("Data Source=elf/SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=logos;Integrated Security=SSPI;"); sql="SELECT max(id_kandydat) from Kandydat"; con.Open(); cmd=new SqlCommand(sql,con); int id = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar()); con.Close(); SqlDataSource7.InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Kandydat_na_Kierunek(id_kandydat, id_kierunku, id_stan) VALUES ("+"'"+id+"'"+","+"'"+DropDownList1.SelectedValue+"'"+","+'1'+");"; I don't really get it. I'm nearly 100% sure that before some changes in my project this had worked perfectly. Does anybody have any idea how to make it work again? I would be very grateful for any help. And, yesy, I know it is quite common error, but proposed solution found didn't help.Regards,N.

One issue has got me stuck while getting to build an application(ASP.NET/SQLSERVER). Whenever I try to connect to SQL Server 2005 (installed on local host) using Visual Web Developer 2005 Databse Explorer, I get the following error message:
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. when connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

NB: - on SQL Servers' Surface Area Configuration, Remote connections are set to "Local and Remote connnections" and "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes".
I am developing a web service that uses a sql data connection.
The sql database is on a server, and the development version of my web service is on my pc.
I can connect/access the data accross my network when I run the service on my PC, but as soon as I put the web service onto the server(with the sql) it displays, the service wont function - error: 40 - could not open a connection....
I presume that sql is configured correctly as I am recieving data back when I request it accross the network. I dont understand why it wont work when I have the service on the server with the sql?

The driver I have for odbc does not allow for linked servers. I'm very new to stored procedures and such so please bear with me. Thxs.

I have created a data reader to loop thru a table and build an update statement. Now I need to execute this statement in the datareader loop but the connection object is in use.
I tried creating another connection object but get an error: "The context connection is already in use."
Is there a way to open another connection while the main context connection is open. Just to make it clear, I do not want to read all the rows into memory first and then call update, it has to happen for each iteration of the datareader.
Hi, I've created an "ASP.NET Web Application" project in Visual Studio and I want to simply open a connection to a database in SQL Server.

I posted this on the Dotnetnuke forums but no answer for it, so since it is a SQL error I guess maybe someone here might know. I installed the core forum that comes with the installation, the page runs great until I add the forum module. I get this error:

HiI am connecting to an external web server running sql 2005 absolutly fine when testing a site using my localhost on my laptop. How ever, when i deploy the site to my server i get the error 40 code - the external database its trying to connect to is on a different server to both my own localhost and my own server.here is my connection string from my web.config: <add name="plightConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=111.222.333.444;Initial Catalog=plight;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxxx;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> I've googled the error but all answers require alterations to the server where the sql database is installed, and it works from my localhost anyway - is there anything i need to do to my own server which is running the website? Regards
