MSDE Confirmation Question
Jun 7, 2005
We have a project at work that requires us to run an msde database from cd. My sup. and I disagree on if this can be done or not. We currently have an application written in asp that uses an access db. We copy the *.mdb file and all the asp files to cd and use the app. to query the db. Now, we have a client who wants the same capability only using msde. They will not allow us to install the full version of sql on there machines. No one in the dept wants to re-write this app. so we're trying to figure out if we can make it work with msde. So, My first question is, does anyone think that it is possible to just copy the *.mdf file to cd (mind you WITHOUT the *.ldf file... can't write to a cd)andMy second question is, can a sql db run without both files in any situation(mdf,ldf)? (I believe this is impossible, but would like to here it from someone with more experience)Any comments are greatly appreciatedthanks

I have a task to perform a new SQL Server 2005 installation at a client.
They have a system with 10 external SCSI drives, each of 72GB. They only have one database of 80GB in use at this system.
1) Userdata: I think that I will put 5 disks at SCSI channel 1, with RAID 3 or 6, with formatted space of 140GB.
2) Log: I think that I will put 3 disks at SCSI channel 2, with RAID 5, with formatted space of 70GB.
3) TempDB: I think that I will put 2 disks at SCSI channel 3, with RAID 0, with formatted space of 140GB.
System already has two built-in drives (RAID 1) for operating system, where I think I will put system databases.
I am open for suggestions and improvements!

I am working with a client who has all databases, logs, tempdb and user/system databases on a single raid set.
In order to make some speed improvement, we have decided to move log files to a second raid controller card.
To accomplish this, we are thinking about taking these steps:
1) Detach database XYZ.
2) Stop database service.
3) Create a new partition on new controller card.
4) Copy old log files from I: to new K: drive.
5) Remove drive letter I: from system.
6) Change drive letter K: to I:
7) Attach database
My question is, does SQL Server recognize the log files automatically, since they are placed at same logical position (i: drive)?

Just a thought.
If an issue is resolved please note that the problem has been resolved. Because there are "many ways to skin a cat" it would be helpful to anyone else with a similar problem (or someone trying to learn) what the solution was.

Hi.
I am about to write my registration confirmation tables.
Right now I have my registration form and table "Users"
that receives input from user registration.
I want to do email confirmation of a registered account.
I was thinking of doing this by creating a table "Verify"
that is set to 0 if not verified and 1 if the user verifies
his email address.
Then I started thinking about the original registration
information. If a user "doesn't" verify, then there is all
this dormant data in the "Users" database. So, maybe
it is better to write all the registration data to the "Verify"
table and then have SQL move that data to the "Users"
table upon verification? This sounds a bit sloppy to me...
is this how the email verification of data is done or, if
not, can somebody suggest a best practice?
I thank you.

I need confirmation from you SQL Server experts out there. Please let me know if the following works. Thanks!
This stored procedure gets a value and increments by 1, but while it does this, I want to lock the table so no other processes can read the same value between the UPDATE and SELECT (of course, this may only happen in a fraction of a second, but I anticipate that we will have thousands of concurrent users). I need to manually increment this column because an identity column is not appropriate in this case.
BEGIN TRANSACTION
UPDATE forum WITH (TABLOCKX)
SET forum_last_used_msg_id = forum_last_used_msg_id + 1
WHERE forum_id = @forum_id
SELECT @new_id = forum_last_used_msg_id
FROM forum
WHERE forum_id = @forum_id
COMMIT TRANSACTION

Hi to alll of you, i'm working in a project to save cars information, when the user who adds on the new record enter all the data, this will need to be printed with a particulary number, which needs to be unique, (lets take a passport number as an example) this generated number will takes some info from the filling fields, for example:
Cars Brand: BMW (catalog number: 120)
Cars Model: 325 (catalog number: 30)
Year: 2008 (catalog number: 18)
So the unique certification number will takes from the catalog numbers * 20 / 5 for example for cars Brand
for Cars Modelo: catalog number *3 + 15
CERTIFICATE NUMBER: 480-105
I'm not sure if this is possible.
I will realy thanks for your help in this issue.
Best Regards
Gian

How can we say whether the SP is successfully compiled or not if we are compiling it on the server as a part of the TSQL script since it does not throw any message like ORACLE does.
In oracle, system will let you know whether the the procedure is successfully complied or not?

Hi.
I have set up my confirmation system to work as thus:
1) user registers
2) registration goes into a temp table with a code
3) user gets a MD5 code in his inbox
4) user clicks back
5) click-back page moves registration data from TEMP table to USER table and sends the user to the signin page.
6) ...
Now, my question is - how do I handle this final step in account
confirmation? Should the first signin act as a final confirmation of
the users account? This makes sense. Should the data in the USER table self-delete after a day if there has been no first sign-in? Should I have a column in the USER table to show if the first login has happened? How should I do this?
I am sure I could mess around with this but it would be great to
get feedback from somebody that has done this multiple times and has a sense of what the best practice is (based on large volume examples).
Your feedback is much apprecaited.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am looking for some confirmation on a behavior of the SSIS Script Task. I have a custom script task that takes an input file, and archives it after it has been processed into the database.
When I run this package in the Visual Studio GUI, if the destination drive is full, it throws an exception telling me that there is not enough disk space. So, my questions are:
1) If this happens when the package is running through the command line, would this exception still be thrown? (I am thinking it will be)
2) Also, Do I need to explicitly fail the script task in the event handler, in order to ensure this .Net exception being thrown will cause the component to fail. (I am fairly certain I do, since this is what I had to do inside of the Visual Studio GUI, but does anyone know if this same behavior would occur when running from the command line?)
Thanks,
Chris

I have discovered what looks like a bug in the optimiser. I've posted it at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=288243 but I wonder if any of you with SQL 2005 RTM, 2005 SP1 or 2008 CTP could confirm when this was introduced and whether it is still an issue?
Code Snippet
-- Bug report
-- 2007/07/19
-- Alasdair Cunningham-Smith
-- alasdair at acs-solutions dot co dot uk
set nocount on
go
-- example date in in British date format
set dateformat dmy
go
use tempdb
go
create table foo( bar varchar( 30 ) not null )
go
insert into foo( bar ) values ( 'fishy' )
insert into foo( bar ) values ( '19/07/2007' )
go
-- this works fine in all versions - only valid dates are passed to the convert function
select
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
go
-- this works on SQL 2000, but fails on SQL 2005 SP2 (I've not tried other SPs of SQL 2005):
-- Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
-- Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
--
-- I believe the query is rewritten as if the derived table query contained
-- "and convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) < getdate()"
-- which would expose the convert to the invalid data
select
*
from
(
select
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
) as derived
where
bardate < getdate()
go
-- Workaround:
-- Use a case statement to protect the convert operator from the invalid data
select
*
from
(
select
case when bar like '__/__/____' then
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 )
else
null
end as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
) as derived
where
bardate < getdate()
go
drop table foo
go
The workaround I discovered is simple but ugly. I invite your comments...

I have the following UNION ALL query with SELECT INTO @tblData temp table. I would like to confirm if my query is correct.
In my first SELECT statement, I have INSERT INTO @tblData.
Do I need another INSERT INTO @tblData again in my second SELECT statement after UNION ALL?
DECLARE @BeginDate as Datetime
DECLARE @EndDate as Datetime
SET @BeginDate = '7/1/2015'
SET @EndDate = '7/13/2015'
DECLARE @tblData table

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.

I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"

We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the
same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that
the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed
from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?

I looking for some guidance here. I have database which has exceeded the 2 gig limit. I deleted some old tables in an attempt to acquire some space. This worked out. However when I look at the size of my *.mdf it still appears in excess of the 2 gigs . I know this isn't true since I deleted 500 megs of stuff. How do i reclaim the space (get the file size to report correctly) or do I need to even worry about it.

Hi
For quite some time nowI have been trying to give user rights to my MSDE , needless to say the fruits of my labor have turned up very little success.
So far i have tried using the osql commands to grant user access to my database. I have run the stored procedures(sp_grantlogin ,sp_grantdbaccess ) but to little avail!
So now i have taken a new approach i installed the Enterprise Manager. I have just a minor problem with this new strategy , i don't know how to use it!!
This is what i have prensently installed on my system: Visual studio.Net ,Microsoft SQL(MSDE)
and finally the Enterprise Manager.
My Servername is FRANK.
I have created an instance which is NetSDK (FRANKNETSDK)
My SAPWD is Kildare
I have Mixed Mode
Can anyone please tell me how i can use the Enterprise Manager to grant access to MSDE.
I am sure you have all realized from all these insipid post that i have no experience.
So please be explicit in all your details.
My email roti@videotron.ca
Thank you
Frank

I have never done anything with databases, so I am a newbie. My goal is to install an ASP.NET forum, but I need MSDE installed. I downloaded MSDE from the Microsoft website. When I run the setup.exe file, I get an error. It says:
A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply
same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.
I looked at the documentation but could not find anything usefull, what do I have to do to install it. Thanks in advance for responses.

Hi,
I am newbie in ASP.NET and MSDE arena. I understand that MSDE has no GUI and I need to have MSDE tools to work with it. I have already installed ASP.NET 1.1 and Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 and MSDE in my Windown Professional 2000 PC and I have run and tested for .aspx and its working perfectly. But I want to use MSDE to create some database driven web applications.
Could you please help me how I can do that? BTW, I installed Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and its giving me SQLWebAdminStart.exe Application error and asking for debugging while opening the program. I am stranded what to do now?
I really appreciate your help.

I just installed MSDE off of disk that came with teach yourself asp.net in 24 hours. To get the program started you must go to run and type cmd and wait for the C prompt. I get this far, but I can't get a C prompt. It always comes up C:sql2ksp3> How do I get a C prompt from here. I know it must be something easy that I am just overlooking or forgot.

Hi all,
I have a web application that uses SQL Server. I have 6 clients that all use the same SQL Server database structure.
I know have a new client who is using MSDE as there Database. The Database should have the same table structures as the SQL ones.
So my questions are this:
1. I have a backup of the new clients data. How do I attach it to SQL Server?
2. Does MSDE have stored procedures?
3. Can I write stored procedures in a SQL Database, that reference tables in an MSDE database.
4. Can someone point me in a direction, that can walk me through this?
Thanks

I want to connect to the MSDE database and create database and tables etc.., I am successful in creating the database and tabels etc.., as shown below:
string ConnString;
ConnString = "data source=(local);" +
"database=;integrated security=sspi";
SqlConnection SqlConn = new SqlConnection(ConnString);SqlConn.Open();
SqlCommand SqlCmd = new SqlCommand("Create DATABASE dbase1", SqlConn);SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();SqlConn.Close();
but Instead of connecting to the MSDE without giving any database name,canI create the instance of MSDE on the fly and connect to it. Like creating a MSDE OBject to start the MSDE and then connect to it using Windows NT authentication
