Visual Studio Team System And SSMS - Anyone Got The Plugin To Work?
May 30, 2006We have a large number of SPs in our databases and decided it was time to get some source control. I have VSTS team explorer installed and working in visual studio, but I cannot get the plugin for SSMS to work - it just says none in the current source control plug-in dialogue box - nothing when I drop it down either.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
ESSENTIAL PERMISSION GRANTS For SQL Database
Jan 17, 2008I am developing a web site with asp.net 2.0 and c#, using Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ( I am still learning about these technologies and languages ).
I transferred my web site files to my NEW computer.
The web site worked fine when running inside Visual Studio, however when I tried to run it in its PUBLISHED format it was giving this error message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Server Error in '/MA' Application.
Cannot open database "SiteData" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'CENTAURUSASPNET'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I solved the problem by running SQL Server Management Stdio, right clicking “SiteData� database -> properties -> permissions->view server permissions then I chose “CENTAURUSASPNET� and since I DID NOT KNOW what grants are ESSENTIAL for the functioning of the database, I GRANTED EVERYTHING ( I ticked ALL the permissions).
But since, probably, a lot of GRANTS are not only unnecessary but also may compromise the security of the web site, I would like to know what are the ESSENTIAL OR MINIMUM GRANTS NECESSARY for making the database functional to the web site and what GRANTS may compromise security.

Restore Data From Live System To Test
Jun 16, 2015I have two SQL Databases on separate servers, live and test. I have been asked to copy the data from the live system and put it into test. They are SQL Management Studio 2008 running on MS Server 2008R2.
Could a simple backup of the database, then copy that file to the test system and restore the database from that point work or it there more to it?
High Insertions / Updates On A System With Real-time / Online / Live Reporting?
Jul 20, 2015I am trying to understand an environment and provide a solution to Banking system so that they can enter user data (transactions) online and at the same time we can provide users online reporting as well. Using same sql server or server/hardware on other machine.
There are so many branches/customers/ATM machines accessing online data as well as updating their balances. I want to understand how can we provide online reporting. Through replication, transaction log backup, log shipping or what other solution is available. I need to understand this and provide a solution that is already implemented running/successfully. Need some proposals and their pros and cons. cost and maintenance are the constraints with the real time reporting on live system/database.
Giving Members Of A Team Copies Of A Database
Nov 25, 2007I'm working in a team, and need to share a database between the group - we don't have the luxury of sharing a server and connecting to it.
So What we'd like to do is make a copy of the database schema, and then share that through our repository.
I figured I just need to copy the .mdf file from the sql server database folder, and put it in the visual studio directory to work on it?
So I've tried this, but when I try to create a TableAdapter to the database through visual studio, It gives me an "access denied". I figure this is probably something to do with security settings?
Do you think I'll need to change my Database connection from windows authentication to sql authentication?
I don't really know exactly how to do what I'm trying to do, so any help will be appreciated.

Aug 6, 2015I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:
SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)
I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.
When Denormalizing Is Essential
Jul 20, 2005I have a database with over 450 tables, that until a short while agohas been strictly 3NF. In cases where complicated permutations ofdata are required quickly for certain parts of the system, sometimesit is not possible to write a query fast enough, due to the complexityof deriving many nested levels of data.Therefore for the few instances where this has been needed, I havecreated carefully named summary tables, having one-to-onerelationships to real tables (same primary key), and containing onlythe values which must be computed.This works fine. The question now is when to compute them.Much as I strongly dislike triggers, I have created triggers for thetables in question, which themselves recalculate the summary values,and populate the summary tables.Good news, loading is much faster.Bad news, now that I'm taking the hit on the save, the saves are fartoo slow.The only way I can see that my saves could be sped up, is to perhapsspread the work a bit, such that maybe if I am adding fifty records toa table, that the trigger is somehow disabled before the rows areadded, and re-enabled afterwards, to calculate the lot as a set-basedoperation (rather than calling the trigger 50 times), but I don't seea way to do that.Any help of any nature on this matter would be greatly appreciatedCheersBrian McGee

Managing Live And Develop Database
Dec 7, 2006Hello,
I haven written a Windows program in Visual Studio 2005. This program stores data in and retrieves data from a SQL Express database. The customer is starting to use the program and filling the database with data. However the program is still under construction (new functionality will be added) and so is the database (new tables, views etc. will be added).
Of course I could send the customer the new database, but than all data already entered will be lost.....
I'm thinking about using the SQL Management Studio Express and VS2005 to connect remotely to the database (a VPN connection is availabe) but worry about performance issues.... Or should I use some kind of replication / synchronization and how, because this is new to me.
What is the best way to solve this 'problem' ?
Change Ntext To Nvarchar(max) In A Live Database
Oct 19, 2006I have a live SQL 2005 database that has ntext fields, when the ntext fields go over 4000 chars the record can no longer be edited. It throws a string or binary data would be truncated error. I tried turning text in row OFF, but it did not work. Can anyone forsee any problems with changing the ntext fields to nvarchar(max) in the live database? Also, I came across sp_tableoption N'MyTable', 'large value types out of row', 'ON', does this work for ntext also? sp_tableoption N'MyTable', 'text in row', 'OFF' did not do anything.Any help would be appreciated.

Aug 2, 2007hi.
I would wish to know whether it is possible for me to program the code from html or aspx ( from web hosting server ) to our office intranet database which is window server 2005?
I had tried to google for more info but there are too complicated thing for me to understand.
Actually i am doing the web form feedback form from the website for the public to fill in and submit. i am using the mysql from web server to store the records from the feedback form.
We have another database in our server, ms server 2005 to store records in the intranet office only. i need to get the records from mysql to intranet database. i don`t think there is a automated scripting which allow u to auto update the intranet database from mysql( web server )
So i thought of one thing . program html or aspx to insert records directly to our database intranet . but how ?
I appreciated that.

Transferring Database From Local To Live Server
Feb 5, 2008Hi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.

Mar 23, 2006im using the the login controls with asp.net
when i test locally everything works great, its see the ASPNETDB.MDF file, checks the login info and passes the user on to the next page.However when i move the application to the live server it fails, it cant find the datasource that contains users/password etc. here is there error: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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) So im missing something here, im used to connecting directly to a remote SQL database and accessing the info from there.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Can the MDF file not be used off the server itself without SQL express installed? Do i need to migrate those tables into a real SQL database?Thanks,Sean
How To Backup Live A Full Database Into A File
Jul 31, 2007Hi
I'm migrating from access to sql server 2005.
With access, I did full backups every 6 hours, by simply copying the .mdb file to a folder on another hard disk on the server, and then ftp it to a distant server.
I guess i just can't simply do the same with the SQL server .mdf file.
What is the best practice to achieve the same goal ?
Thank you
Best Practice For Upgrade Of Live Hosted Database?
Sep 11, 2007I'm not sure this is the exact forum in which to ask this question, so if there is a more appropriate forum, please point me in that direction.
Basically I'm looking for advice and best practices for dealing with an upgrade plan for a hosted database. Here is the situation:
- Hosted software application (.Net)
- Uses SQL Server 2005
- When we upgrade the software application to a new version, there will be schema and data changes that need to be applied to the database
- For the software application, we have considered upgrading an offline machine and then switching old one instantaneously.
- For the database, I'm trying to figure out if we can keep everything live for upgrades, or if we should have a small amount of scheduled downtime to upgrade.
So we have identified 2 basic directions:
1) Keep the database live and apply the new script changes just after the application software is upgraded. This means zero downtime, but we'd have to design and test our application to be backward compatible, so that the new version of the application code could handle both the new schema design, and the old schema design. It seems that this option would add a huge amount of complexity because we would essentially be testing a 3rd app/schema combination.
2) Take a small amount of scheduled downtime and upgrade the application code and database all at once.
Obviously option #2 is the most desirable from a development process point of view, and #1 is the most desirable option from a business point of view (zero downtime).
So, I'm looking for some advice on this. Do most people take the whole system down? Are there 100% live systems that deal with this? Are there other approaches I'm not considering?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Transact SQL :: Query Based On Date - Get Data From Table Above WHERE DateofBirth Is Tomorrow
Oct 30, 2015Lets say I have a table, tblPersons
FirstName | LastName  | DateofBirth
----------------------------------------
 Thomas  | Alva Edison |  10-10-2015
 Benjamin | Franklin   |    10-10-2015
 Thomas  | More       |    11-10-2015
 Thomas  | Jefferson  |   12-10-2015
Suppose today's date is 09-10-2015 in (dd-MM-yyyy format), I want to perform a query in such a way that I should get the data from the table above WHERE DateofBirth is tomorrow, so I could get the following result.
FirstName | LastName  | DateofBirth

Transact SQL :: Replicating / Synching Data Between Two Tables On Same Database With Live Transactions
Oct 7, 2015Client is running X- version of application and corresponding database size is huge. Now client's vendor is releasing Y-version of same application with many database schema changes (like new tables added, new columns added, renamed existing columns and etc) To upgrade to the Y-version, vendor is suggesting to my client that down the system and do the upgrade for application/database to Y-version. We are sure that this process will take days together to upgrade to the Y-version. My client is not ready to down the system for that long. So we are trying to find the solution with minimal down time.The approach we are thinking is,Â
1) Create the replicated database to another server (server2) from production server(server1) using golden gate with X-version
2) Create new tables/schema updated tables from Y-version database on same server1. Here for  Updated schema tables we are planning to use the name <table_name_Y_version> as the same table name exists in X-version.
3)With above 2 steps, golden gate replicate the changes from production to server1 and server1 will have the new Y-version table schema (with different concatenate name ' _Y_version'). BTW , there is no affect for the production
4) At this stage we are planning to find best approach, to fill the '<table_name>_Y_version' from X-version tables. two challenges here a) all data needs to be moved to Y-version tables b) they have to sync data in real time.
we thought of going to
a) ssis package to pump the data to Y-version tables, but real time data will not sync.
b) trigger based technique, previous experience said, lot of load
c) thinking about sql replication.
