Maintaining SQL Data On A Remote Host.

Oct 29, 2007

Hi,
What is the preferred way to maintain SQL tables on a remote host?
I am a newbie to building ASP.NET websites on a remote host.
A stumbling point has been the maintenance of SQL tables on the remote host.
I understand about doing complete backup and restores,
but I am seeking a quicker way to maintain individual files.
I would like to click and edit but instead am going through the following 30+ clicks.
Is there a easier way?
Thanks.

For example, what I do now to build a new data table for a hosted website.
1) Design table
 1a) Name
 1b) Fields & Types

2) SQL Server Management Studio Express (assuming existing database)
 2a) Select Database & Tables
 2b) Add new table
 2c) Add fields,  Key must be INT for ACCESS
 2d) Save as (Name_Table)

3) MS Access  (requires ODBC to be setup first through the Windows control panel)
 3a) Tables / New / Link / ODBC /Machine_Data_Source
 3b) Pick table
 3c) Edit data, as needed

4) To transfer data, first:
Select the database in the VWD solution explorer,
then right-click and select the new "Publish to Provider"
 4a) Database Publishing Wizard  
 4b) Choose table to script a backup from
 4c) Build script & Copy

5) Start Ipswitch FTP ( this step can be rplaced by 6e below)
 5a) locate folder & sql script file and choose destination directory
 5b) Transfer file

6) Login to remote host host (1and1)
 6a) MS SQL Administration
 6b) Admin (MyLittleTools Admin)
 6c) Tools
 6d) Quey Analyser
 6e) Paste script (from step 4)
 6f) Submit (Run)
 6g) Verify table built

FYI: Script to build and populate the new table "Name_Table"
Built by step 4c above, pasted into remote Hosts Query Analyzer by step 6e above.

An Error Occurred While Receiving Data: '10054(An Existing Connection Was Forcibly Closed By The Remote Host.)'.

Jan 3, 2006

What does this error mean? I get this in the transmission_status column of  sys.transmission_queue

An error occurred while receiving data: '10053(An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.)'.

Also, does the number in this message correspond to error 10053 in sys.messages?

Thanks

An Existing Connection Was Forcibly Closed By Remote Host

Jun 26, 2007

Hi all
I have run a stranger issue:
I use ADO.NET 2.0 to access sql2000 database. during the whole process, I need stop sql server service which the program is connecting. my setup is like following:
1.Open a conection to access table and then close the connection;
2.restart sql server service ;
3.Re-open a connection to access table and then an exception was thrown out:
 A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed bythe remote host.)
4. try re-open a connection to access table and then no exception was thrown out.
I think this maybe related with connection pool. any guy know the detail, please give me a response. Thank you very much!

I have also websites running with MySQL and those don't have this problem.I searched google but I couldn't find usefull information on this problem.
Someone who knows what's going on here ?

EM Error 'connection Forcibly Closed By The Remote Host' (ouch)

Jul 22, 2005

I am getting this error in Enterprise Manager:
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

But, my web app can still connect just fine to the db, so it's still in
the same place with the same login/password.  And my registration
in EM was working just fine (for years) until yesterday I got this
error.  I've tried deleting the registration and re-creating it
but the same thing.  What could have gone wrong to cause this to
happen? 

Thanks for any pointers, I have no idea where to start looking on this one, the host says they haven't changed anything...

Integration Services :: SSIS Cannot Open Datafile When Executed From Remote Host

Aug 19, 2015

I have seen several problems posted where an SSIS package writes a file successfully when executed manually, but fails when executed via SQL Agent job..I have the opposite problem. I'll try to lay it out succinctly: SSIS writes to a file on a shared folder, specified as HostAShare, for example. I created the share and gave full control to Everyone (out of frustration).I'm working from HostA via RDP, connected to the DB on DBHost via SSMS.If I kick off a SQL Agent job that executes the package, it works fine. (SQL job is running under SQL Server Agent Service Account).If I execute the job interactively (logged in to SSMS with Windows Auth), it fails with "Error: Cannot open the datafile "HostASharefilename.ext""We did find that if I RDP directly to the DBHost, I am able to execute manually.Also, if I try executing an xp_command shell command to write a file to the share, it works. (When RDP's into HostA with an SSMS connection to DBHost under my windows domain auth, as above.)The problem is the same when I RDP to any remote host.

Framework 2.0 Changes - TCP Provider, Error: 0 - An Existing Connection Was Forcibly Closed By The Remote Host.

Nov 14, 2005

If you connect to a server and open a query in SQL Managment studio (2005) and looses connection and then regain the connection, when you try to run the query it gives me a "TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."   This happens against both 2005 and 2000 servers.   If I re-run the query it works.   However, this happens in our VB.NET app as well for clients with Wireless connections.   So, something has changed in Framework 2.0 regarding this, does anyone know how to tell the client to not throw this error and just try connecting the server instead which will work?

Problem In Maintaining Data Precision During Import From Flat Files.

Nov 19, 2007



In my scenario I have about a dozen of flat files (Text files),that I have to import in SQL Server 2005.
I am using Flat File connection manager to carry out tha task.Flat files contains data generated from oracle.
When I import data from these text files into SQL ,the main problem lies in converting number(p,s) data type column of Oracle(In text file) to numeric(p,s) data type of sql server 2005.

Number(p,s) data type looses all it's digits after decimal to zero during import process.
For example

1.2434234390 (from text file,number(p,s) type of oracle) converts to 12.0000000000 (numeric(p,s)) of sql server 2005.

Is this this any workaround to this problem.I urgently need help.

Master Data Services :: Maintaining Contiguous Code IDs By Applying Business Rule?

Feb 29, 2012

I deleted some records out of an entity, I'd like to keep the Codes as contiguous and incremental, meaning no breaks between the code numbers.I created a business rule and applied it but codes remain the same.

I used the "Default to a generated Value" action, then selected the Code attrib. --Saved.

Then back to the Entity, I applied business rules. But nothing seemed to have happened. As there was no change in codes.

There are no validation errors either.

Import Data From ASP Script (web Host)

Feb 2, 2008

A seemlingly common scenario, but one that has proven surprisingly frustrating to implement:

I have a number of clients running an Access application, and I provide a web catalog for them. I'd like to fully automate the process of 1) exporting their updated data, 2) uploading to web server, and 3) import into SQL db (delete existing data; insert new data). 1 and 2 are no problem, of course. Import into SQL is most obviously done manually using web interface to SQL Server (my host does not allow remote SQL connections, or I would do so directly from client's Access apps).

I don't want to have to manually import the uploaded file. I'd love some suggestions on how to automate this from an ASP script (client app would open a URL to initiate the script, which would run the import process itself).

Everything I read about using DTS, SSIS, etc. for this kind of job assumes I'm using SQL Server Management Studio. Any pointers on information on scripting this in ASP instead?

Thanks in advance,
Kirk

Appending Data Changes To A Dbase On A Host Server

Sep 27, 2000

Hello,

I need help in generating a stored proc script (SQL Server 7.0)that will:

document the changes of each field in a dbase (SQL Server 7.0)
appending the deltas (changes) to the dbase on a different, say production server for each affected field
prompt the user (dba, developer, super user) for the fields to involve in the comparing and documenting of changes (deltas).

thanks in advance for your help!

ALSO: Does SQL Server 2000 handle this situation better than SQL Server 7.0

Unable To Open BCP Host Data-file

Feb 13, 2007

I am having trouble with BCP. I get the same error with xp_cmdshell as I do with entering bcp as a DOS command. I have checked and rechecked the file names and permissions and even restart the PC.

Does BCP even work when SQL Server 2005 Express on a PC?

declare @sql varchar(8000)
select @sql = 'bcp SYMITAR..ACCOUNT in C: estEXTRACT.ACCOUNT -T -f C: estACCOUNT.FMT -S'+@@servername

Could the fact that it's actually pulling BCP from c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsinn be a problem? I know this because it doesn't recognize the -x extensionof the bcp command.

...

I added the c: est to the path and removed c:Program FilesMicrosoft
SQL Server80Toolsinn from the path. While it recognizes the -x
extension now it still gets the same error message:

Hi,I'm using a MYSQL database for this project.  I installed hte .Net Framework Data Provider on my computer for development, but how can I get it on the host(LunarPages.com)  Can I manually call on files in the connectionString or do I need to ask the tech support to install it for me, which will most likely not happen. Gosh, their windows servers lack sooo many things.    Edit: I just tried uploading the source files of the data provider into my app_data directory.  No change. Help? ThanksNick

Maintaining Statistics

Jan 29, 2008

Scenario:
For the most part we let SQL Server (2005) maintain our statistics for us. However we do have several large processes written in stored procedures. There is one main controller procedure that can call any number of other procedures. This process can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour+ to run (based on the size of the client). Back in the day of SQL Server 2000 we found that the performance of this procedure would diminish over time (while it was running). We implemented a queued concept of issuing UPDATE STATISTICS commands. This was done by adding a SQL Server job that ran every 10 minutes looking for new records in a table. Records where inserted at key points in these stored procedures (after large deletes, updates, inserts).

Goal:
Now, with all that background and with 2005, I'd like to review this concept and remove this implementation if possible, or at least remove the close association of maintaining the statistics from the business jobs. In 2005, are there better ways to monitor and maintain statistics at more of an administrative (but automated) way?

Maintaining A Database?

Feb 27, 2007

Our database(s) are all over the place - no documentation - lot's ofrubbish and unused stuff.I'm managing a project focusing on data quality that covers codechanges, alterations to DTS packages, schema changes etc etc.What I'd like to do is see where the bit I want to change is beingused.that might mean what stored procs use a field and what sprocs use thatsproc.maybe it's which dts packages use a sproc (and again up thehieararchy)The list is a long one but basically I need to know what the effectsare of changes.Is there a tool out there that lets me navigate a database to thatlevel of detail - I understand something along the same lines isavailable for MS Access but I can't find it for SQL Server.Thanks

Maintaining Security

May 24, 2006

I am a beginer in SQL Server. I have developed a simple accounting application in VB and SQL. Now I have successfully completed my application. Now I want to deploy it to my client. So I installed SQl Server and required VB components in the clients computer. I also created 'sa' login and secret password only know by me. I thought my data in that clients computer was full safe but later on i found that we can also connect to the sql server using the NT administrative account and easily change the data of the database. So now I am worried that if someone enters and access the clients computer with administrator's password then he/she can change my data resulting the corruption of the data. So is there any way that I can prevent the access the database to the client with the NT administrative account or any way 2 track the way the data changed?

My stored procedure looks like this.================================================== ====================CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.R920ExtTotal@MthsBack Decimal OUTPUTASDECLARE @sSQL AS NVARCHAR(255), @StartDate as SMALLDATETIME, @EndDateas SMALLDATETIMEExec @StartDate = GetMthStart @MthsBackExec @EndDate = GetMthEnd @MthsBackSET @sSQL = 'Select count(extension) as Total From r920f00 Where([date] BETWEEN "' +CONVERT(nvarchar, @StartDate) +'" and "' +CONVERT(nvarchar, @EndDate) +'")'Select @sSQLEXEC (@sSQL)ReturnGO================================================== ===============The problem is my variables @StartDate and @EndDate do not retaintheir values after the EXEC statement and revert to 01/01/1900. Howcan I get around this problem?Thanks!!!!Chip

Maintaining Partitioned Views

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,I have a large set of data that I have set up as a partitioned view.The view is partitioned by a datetime column and the individual tableseach represent one month's worth of data. I need to keep at least twoyear's worth of data at all times, but after two years I can archivethe data. A sample of the code used is below. It is simplified forspace reasons.My question is, how do other people maintain the database in this typeof scenario? I could create all of the tables necessary for the nextyear and then go through that at the end of each year (archive tablesover two years, add new tables, and change the view), but I was alsothinking that I might be able to write a stored procedure that runsonce a month and does all three of those tasks automatically. It seemslike a lot of dynamic SQL code though for something like that.Alternatively, I could write VB code to handle it in a DTS package.So, my question again is, how are others doing it? Any suggestions?Thanks!-Tom.CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Station_Events_200401] ([event_time] [datetime] NOT NULL ,[another_column] [char] (8) NOT NULL )GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[Station_Events_200402] ([event_time] [datetime] NOT NULL ,[another_column] [char] (8) NOT NULL )GOCREATE VIEW Station_EventsASSELECT event_time,another_columnFROM Station_Events_200401UNION ALLSELECT event_time,another_columnFROM Station_Events_200402GO

Maintaining SQL Server At Customer Sites

Apr 18, 2003

I am wondering how people maintain their SQL Servers which run at several customers sites and disk space is getting smaller and smaller? I want to say that we have tables in SQL dbs which hold a lot of date consisting of statistics, errors, logs etc.
They grow and grow and existing data is not needed anymore as soon as the data get older than let's say for one year. How do you overcome the problem reducing the tables but not charging the system too much as the major application also runs on the same server?

Thanks for any input

Suggestions On Maintaining Audit Fields

Apr 14, 2008

Currently all of our tables in several databases have the following columns:

user_added (this is nvarchar)
host_added (this is nvarchar)
date_added (this is datetime)
user_modified (this is nvarchar)
host_modified (this is nvarchar)
date_modified (this is datetime)

Right now our policy is that (a) the _added columns use defaults to populate the data on INSERTS and triggers are generated to update the _modified fields upon an UPDATE of the table.

Our practice has been (a) to manually create these fields in our scripts as we create new tables in our system and (b) create triggers to perform the update anytime we create a new table.

This practice has been fine until recently where we have been outsourcing some of our development and not all of our standards have been adhered to, including this one. I'd like to look at alternatives for somehow maintaining these concepts outside of our development workflows.

The first thing I'd like to inquire about is regarding options to eliminate having developers include these columns in the CREATE TABLE statements. Is it possible in SQL Server 2005 to capture when an CREATE TABLE statement is executed and override/append to the initial CREATE TABLE statement?

The second thing I'd like to inquire about is regarding options to eliminate having developers write the initial trigger that maintains the _modified fields. I guess if there are options to capture when a CREATE TABLE statement is executed, we could possibly generate a CREATE TRIGGER statement against that object as well?

Another idea I would like thoughts on are using some sort of 'table inheritence' to store this information for all objects in our database? This idea come up when I saw this article - http://www.sqlteam.com/article/implementing-table-inheritance-in-sql-server. Do you think the situation I explained here would fall into this concept?

I'm also open to any other thoughts and/suggestions.

Maintaining SQL, Defragmenting Index Or Harddrive?

Apr 4, 2007

Hello All!

I have a asp.net website with SQL 2005 DB .
DB size of 1.5GB with ~10 tables in it. The largest table has 200k of records in it (website users table), with 500 new records every day.

I've setup this database 4 months ago and didn't touch it since then.
I really have no knowledge what SQL needs in terms of index maintenances / hard drive maintenances.

Lately , the website searches started to be really slow , and I started to get timeout error and deadlock errors.
I have a few indexes for each table based on the recommendation MS-SQL Database tuning advisor gave me.

Some of the index's are :
Page fullness : 99%
Total Fragmentation: 24%

Other are :
Page fullness : 65%
Total Fragmentation: 99%


I guess I need to start maintaining the DB , defragmenting index or hard-drive?
Can anyone help me and provide me with guide/information on what is needed to be done in order to keep SQL running fast and happily?
or a guide on defragmenting index's and how ofen do i need to defrag?

Thanks,
Shar

Maintaining Unique Keys When Offline

Aug 7, 2007

If you have a "Orders" table that is being sync'd to subscribers that are ocassionaly offline, and the subscribers add rows to their local Orders table. When they go online to sync with the published "Orders" table, how do you handle keeping the "OrderId" field unique?

Example:
Both salespeople sync the following data down:
OrderId Desc
1 Order 1
2 Test Order



Both salespeople go offline and add orders
Salesperson 1 adds:
OrderId Desc
3 Joes Order

Salesperson 2 adds:
OrderId Desc
3 Kathys Order


Now, when they go back online, they both will sync their orders up to the main database and they both have the OrderId of 3.
