I have a project to convert an application developed in VB 6.0 which has backend as MS-ACCESS and make it compatible with SQL-SERVER 2000. many fuctions like cdate(), IsNull() and UCase() which work in access do not work in SQL. what are their SQL Equivalent?
View 6 RepliesI am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

View 1 Replies View RelatedAny help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?

I just recently set up my SQL 2005 server. Now I wanted to test to make sure Visual Studio can connect to the DB and query the tables.
So for testing purposes I installed the test database that comes with SQL Server called 'Adventure Works'. It installed just find.
I went back to my laptop, fired up VS, when to 'Server Explore' and created the connection, which works perfectly. I'm able to expand the db.AdventureWorks.dbo and see the 'Tables' folder. I can view the table data and everything.
Wonderful!!! However...
PROBLEM
I went back to my default.aspx page, dragged a SqlDataSource on the page, configured it to use the AdventureWorks data and store the connection string. Now when I do a simple query like 'SELECT * FROM Employee' it get the following message:
There was an error executing the query. Please check the syntax of the command and if present, the types and values of the parameters and ensure they are correct.
Invalid object name 'Employee'.
Now I KNOW 'Employee' isn't an invalid object because I can see it and open it in 'Server Explorer'. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
Thanks!
Hi,
Whenever i try to connect to my localhost i get an error message telling me that it doesn't exist or access is denied ... This is strange because i had no problems with it up until yesterday ... I can't connect to my Localhost through SQL Server Service Manager ... When i go into Enteprise Manager i can't open localhost or view anything in it ... It just keeps telling me that it doesn't exist or access is denied ...
Thanks,

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
Hi guys,
I've been developing desktop client-server and web apps and have used Access and SQL Server Standard most of the time.
I'm looking into using SQL CE, and had a few questions that I can't seem to get a clear picture on:
- The documentation for CE says that it supports 256 simultaneous connections and offers the Isolation levels, Transactions, Locking, etc with a 4GB DB. But most people say that CE is strictly a single-user DB and should not be used as a DB Server.
Could CE be extended for use as a multi-user DB Server by creating a custom server such as a .NET Remoting Server hosted through a Windows Service (or any other custom host) on a machine whereby the CE DB would run in-process with this server on the machine which would then be accessed by multiple users from multiple machines??
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
- and further more can we use Enterprise Services (Serviced Components) to connect to SQL CE and further extend this model to offer a pure high-quality DB Server?
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> Enterprise Services -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
Seems quite doable to me, but I may be wrong..please let me know either ways
Thanks,

I'm hoping somebody can help me here as i'm struggling to find any information elsewhere on the net. We have recently purchased a new server, the rough specs are:
2 X Quad-Core Xeon E7320 2.13GHz 4Mb Cache
32Gb PC2-5300 DDR II RAM
We are planning to install the 64 Bit version of SQL Server 2005. We want to use the server for a number of purposes.
Building and weekly processing of 2 complex data marts (approx size is 1Tb each)
Processing and querying of 2 Analysis Services databases that will be built from these data marts. These will be queried by no more than about 15 users (no more than about 5 simultaneously).
Relational querying of the data marts themselves (same users as above)
My problem is that I am not sure of the best way to configure SQL Server. Should I use 2 separate instances? How should the processors/memory be shared between SQL Server/Analysis Services? My main priority is the performance of the OLAP querying. However, I also want the weekly processing and any ad-hoc SQL querys run against the marts to be efficient.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David.
Is there a way to specify a MS Access table (or query object) in the select query of SQL Server.
Ex.:
MSAccessTable (in file.mdb)
col1
col2
a1
a2
b1
b2
SQL query in SQL Server:
SELECT col1, col2 into SqlTable from [file.mdb].MSAccessTable;

Hey, SQL Server gurus and experts, please offer your precious advices -
(1) Is it worth going for MCDBA now, when Microsoft has stopped supporting SQL Server 2000 and many companies are upgrading to version 2005 ?
(2) Is MCTS* - SQL Server 2005 useful for SQL Server programmers as well ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Gurus
Currently we are using SQL Server Reporting Services on top of our client data warehouse. Almost all the reports deployed on the report production server are executing Stored Procedures (behind the scene).
Can anyone tell me how can I query Report Server database to get a list of reports and the stored procedures being executed by these reports?

Hi,
I have two webservers and another server where the database resides.. and in my webservers i have reporting serverices set up.. in my Report server configuration manager for Webserver 1, in the database setup tab i am specifying the remote the database server which i want to connect and i am providing the correct username and passwords to connect to the remote databse and when i specify the remote database username and password i can see all the databases listed in that server. So in server name i have specified the name of the sql server.. and in the Database name i have specified ReportServer and given credentails type as sql server credentials and given the correct username and password..
But when i give apply i am getting an warning or error saying that The database version (c.0.8.54) does not match the Report service installation. This version cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database.
and in internet explorer if i give http:\localhost
eports I get an error saying
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue update the version of the report server database and verify access rights.
any help will be appreciated.

Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to develop a monthly salary report for our employees. The salary is calculated on daily basis for individiaul employees. Thus the report is supposed to display Employee Name, ID etc + 31 columns (representing maximum days in a month). The report will display the employee basic information along with their salary calculation for each day. So its like 35 columns report. I already have used a cursor in my stored procedure with SQL Server 2005 to get this report (displayed in .NET Page) but the performance is more than worst and takes even 3-4 minutes to compile (which ofcourse is unacceptable). There are around 300 employees and they belong to different departments. When we select a given department, all the respective employees report has to be displayed. If i select All Departments, then the entire 300 employees report has to be displayed. I dont want to cache the data as it will have a big performance issue for the server.
I want some good suggestion on how to develop a monthly report in SQL Server 2005 which can display the data with optimized performance. Kindly help of any guru will be highly appreciated.

Hi every one
I am new meber of this community with an urgent new problem with SQL server DTS process:) pls HELP!
PROCESS DETAILS:
My data base(db) is on main frame(flat file with hierarchical db format) I used vb script to get that db and split it in to three files so processing is easy after this I use dts PROCESS WITH EXECUTE SQL TASK in combination of some bulk insert scripts to pick these files from server directory and import it in to sql server tables. I know I could have use bulk insert task in dts but my formate file was giving me a problem while I try to develop it through that process so I ended up using tsql bulk insert statment with formate file in the EXECUTE SQL TASK .
PROBLEM :
My problem is I have to manually activate VB script where as I want this to be part of my DTS packet so it can be automated.
I know there is Active x scripting task in DTS but have not used it can some one please tell me if this script can be put in to Active X scripting task with or with out any modifications and also what are the modifications I need to do so it can run before other DTS task (which picks the file and insert it in three different tables after format file application.
this is the VB SCRIPT:Const
ForReading = 1,ForWriting = 2
Dim fso, SourceFile, TargetFile, retstring,Level1No, Level2No, Level3No, Level1Str, Level2Str, Level3Str
Level1No = 0
Level2No = 0
Level3No = 0
Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Set SourceFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceWGEE.NONX.GMM220D.UNLOAD.G00178888V00", ForReading)
Set SourceFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceDataNotepad.txt", ForReading)

set l2 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceLevel2.txt", ForWriting,True)
set l3 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:SourceLevel3.txt", ForWriting,True)
Do While SourceFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
retstring = SourceFile.ReadLine
if Instr(1,retstring,"PACM",0) > 0 then
Level1No = Level1No + 1
Level1Str = Rpad(Level1No," ",10)
l1.WriteLine(Level1Str & retstring)
End if
if Instr(1,retstring,"PACPRS",0) > 0 then
Level2No = Level2No + 1

Hi,
Is it true that I need Analysis Server to simply log the queries being sent to my databases?
I am not familiar with SQL server. In MySQL it is a simple checkbox setting; when I check it, all queries reaching the database(s) are written to a file. But accomplishing this in SQL Server is not so easy, so it seems. I read that I need Analysis Server to do this. I only bought the database, so I will have to purchase it. But I am not sure that this is, in fact, what I am looking for. I need a file that contains something like this:
01/08/2008 14:19:21 UserNameDbName: SELECT name, telno FROM Customer WHERE country = 'Netherlands' AND name LIKE '%bicycle%'
I need the queries exactly as they are sent to the database, from any (type of) client. Can Analysis Server provide this?
Thx,

When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?
Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I am a new comer to the internet e-commerce and ebusiness service. I have limited budget for my startup. I would like to know whether the SQL Server 2005 standard x32 edition (5 client), as this verion is still relative affordable, could be good enough to support an ebusiness intertnet site. When an internet broswer access to my site, would that access be counted as one client?
Also, I would like to know whether anyone there have experience of using SQL express edition to support an internet site, that potentially need roburst data transaction.
Thanks a lot.

I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database?
