I've been quite excited about SQL Server MDS that should allow non-IT staff to easily maintain data. However maintaining data that have many-to-many relationships seems to be quite a pain. I believe the best way is:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the details Click "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partAdd a new memberTry and find the product you just created from the dropdownlistSelect the first part and click OKAgain try and find the product you have created from the dropdownlistSelect the second part and click OKRepeat...Close the tab on your browser and finish your product entity.How I wish it worked:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the detailsCheck a checkbox for each part visible under "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partFinish your product entity.
Hello,I am working on an ASP.NET web site using an SQL database. Is there a way to Insert/Delete and Update data in the database without creating all the forms in ASP.NET?Since I am the only person to work with the database it would be easier for me than creating all ASP.NET forms.Thanks,Miguel
1. The user may browse any website on the internet that may be in any language and enter the data into my application. 2. The data entered can be in English or any other language. 3. That’s were the problem arises; the data that enters the database other than English is displayed in wrong format like small boxes. 4. The user who had previously entered the data in the database can also alter that data. So when I display the data (other than English) to him it is not in the format in which the user had entered.
So can anybody help me out how to manage multilingual data?
Hi All, How do I input a large text page (notepad) into a SQL column. Or assign a pointer to the data. I've tried to use BOL (writetext) and to no avail, I guess I'm missing something. I'm just using EM and Query analyzer. I thought this should be easy. Image data should work the same way.
I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have textboxes on a VB form linked to 2 database tables.
I am wondering if it is possible to use just ONE BindingNavigator to manage data entry and updates to THE database tables. I initially thought I could manage the tables but have I encountered some problems:
i)When I entered a new record, and clicked on the SAVE BUTTON the new record the textboxes for the 1st table saves the record to the database, but the textboxes for 2nd table still retained data in them and are not saving theirs to the database.
ii) The same textboxes for the 2nd table are NOT allowing for updates too! Or, could it simply be that it is not possible to use this method for data entry and updates?
I got anywhere from a couple hundred to a hundred thousand records that need to be updated or inserted into their SQL Server 2005 end destination. What are some of the best ways to accomplish this? Right now we are doing it manually through line by line updates and inserts. Would I use BC or some other bulk import tool?
I have an aplpication whih collect different types of history data from an SQL database. On type of those data are hitory log information where amount of records can be really big.
What i would like to implement is a kind of paging mecanism for colelcting those data. fro example the first call will retrun the first 100 rows, then the next call would get rows 101 to 200 . etc....
We have several read-only nodes in our AlwaysOn cluster, which are set to use Synchronous-commit mode, which ensures that the logs are updated on the read-only nodes before any update statements complete. Even with this option, if we query a read-only node before the logs have been processed, we can read old data. I would like to know a strategy to ensure that a read-only query will definitely return up to date information. I had an idea that if I just used a different transaction type, like Serializable, that it might block the read-only query from actually getting the data until after the log file was processed, but I have not tried it, yet.
I would like to move more queries to the read-only nodes, in an effort to offload CPU utilization from the primary node.
I am using sql server 2008 r2 on my end. I have created a database named testDB. I have a lot of tables with some log tables in this. some tables have contain lack of records in log table.
So my purpose is that I want to fix the table size of those tables(log tables) and want to move records in other database table placed on another location. So my database has no problem.
is there any way to make such above steps which I want for my database?
Is there already built any such functionality in sql server?
Hey EveryoneI have a desktop machine and a laptop machine. Both have XP Pro. I prefer to code on my laptop, but I want to use my desktop machine as a home server/development environment because its always on. I have IIS (HTTP and FTP), .NET 2.0, my mp3 server, etc up and running just fine on my desktop.When I'm working on an application, I access the site with VWD through a network share. It's worked great so far. What I haven't been able to do, however, is connect to the database with VWD or Management Studio Express. I don't even really know where to begin with this one. What I don't want to do is open this up to the internet. I'd like to just keep it accessible from the LAN (the database, not the website)I'm new to database stuff, and I don't really know where to look to figure out how to do this. Basically, I want to have the same functionality with VWD or Management Studio that I would have if I was physically on the machine with the SQL Express server.If anyone can provide some advice, I'd really appreciate it.Thanks!Brandon
I have worked with mysql for sometimes now and everywhere there was a mysql there was phpmyadmin for managing it but now on my new windows hosting with plesk I don't see such program. The only thing I see is a pothetic program called ASP.NET enterprise manager that doesn't allow uploading data.
In a previous application i stored about 100.000 actions ( coming from an external system )in an access database for each day. Therefore i created everyday a new accessdatabase to have enough performance. Each month i copied automatically all databases in a new 'month' map as a backup.
The goal of the application is the view all actions of one day of week in one grid. This is a kind of history of the external system.
I'm afraid the application will become to slow if i save all actions in one database. ( after 1 month i will have 3.000.000 actions.
How this is done in an sql server ? Do i have to use a different kind of method ?
Say for example I have the following 2 database tables, the first one contains the old employee data, and has the fields shown below: oldEmployeeID FirstName LastName DateOfBirth HiringDate TerminationDate and another one containing the new employee data with similar fields but instead of oldEmployeeID, it is showing the newEmployeeID. During the conversion process, something were messed up and instead of putting in the original hiring date of the workers into the new employee database, the conversion date was put in, which, depending on the mood of HR ladies, could be any date, and at the same time, of course, new employee join the company, and we assume their hiring dates were entered correctly. On top of that, there are some employee who were terminated before the conversion took place but we still need to keep a record of that. And I created a third table, say, emplyeeAll with similar fields to the employee data tables. So here is what I need to do: if the firstName, lastName and DateOfBirth in the old employee data table and the new employee data table matches, I would assume they are the same employee, hence I would put the information for the employee obtained from the new employee data table to the employeeAll table, with the Hiring Date changed to the Hiring Date of the old employee data table (and do not copy the record from the old employee table to prevent duplicates), otherwise, I would simply copy and paste the data in new and old employee table to my employeeAll table. I know this is really confusing, but...well...hope you know what I am saying... Is it possible to have a SQL statement for all these? If so, how should the statement looks like?
Hi, I'm currently migrating to Sql 2005 from 2000 and have a quick question about indexes. In 2000 i used to click on Table > All Tasks > Manage Indexes... to view and create all my table indexes. There doesn't seem to be anything similar in 2005 Management Studio. I thought it was under Table > Modify but there's nothing there for indexes. I've had to create all my indexes manually through t-sql but this doesn't help when needing to view and manage current indexes. Can anyone help me on this?
Hi All It´s my DropDownList data source from my page1.aspx: <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlChampionships" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsSearchChampionships" DataTextField="name" DataValueField="id_championship"> </asp:DropDownList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsSearchChampionships" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Tupi_Campeonatos]"></asp:SqlDataSource> When I put a new championship name in a TextBox and click on the button "ADD", this button event click is called: Protected Sub btAddChampionship_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btAddChampionship.Click insertNewChampionshipIntoDataBase() End Sub The Page then reloads but my DropDownList is not updated. The way I found to do it is to put the DDList update code after the calling of the insertNewChampionshipIntoDataBase() method, but how??? thnx

Hello,We have an XP workstation containing a very important MSDE-basedapplication. Its MSDE database isn't likely to change for quite awhile.The app contains an internal backup method (File, Backup, Backup) andan auxiliary app/script for shrinking the database and logs. I wouldlike to automate the backup and shrinking so end users don't have toremember to do them.The workstation has a static IP so it can go out to the Internet whennecessary.The workstation is presently not joined to the domain.1. Can I install SSMS Express *only* as a local app (without SQLExpress 2005) and thus use SSMS to set up nightly backups and periodicshrink database/logs jobs??2. We have SSMS running on SQL 2005 server box in the domain. If Ijoin the workstation only to the domain (local account logon is notchanged, still used), could I use SSMS from the SQL 2005 box?? Would Ineed a domain login on the XP box to make this work??Thank you, Tom
I want to manage my sql express .mdf database file (e.g. set Roles) but I seem to only be working with a temporary instance of my database when I attach to .sqlexpress and manage in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). The Role I set is gone when I detach and re-attach.
If I try to manage my file in Visual Studio under Server Explorer, I do not see the "Roles" folder to modify roles.
I have SQL server admin id and password, and I want to do some create/delete new database, or mimium do some select statements. What do I need to install on my workstation in order to connect to SQL server remotely? What's the equivalent tools as SQLPlus in Oracle?

I am pretty new in SSIS 2005, and I have some problems... I want to add logging and error management in my package. I found how to made logging. But for errors managing i have some difficulties.
In my package I have only a flat file source and an ole db destination. I want add errors management for both of them. So I create a connection manager for errors on a file. For both element i add redirect row for all available error type and then i add 2 flat file destination. I branch red arrows of flat file source and ole db destination to the flat file destination.
When i run packge i have an error which indicate me that file error is already take by another process... I don't understand why. And i don't want to create on file for each element on package. Have you any idea on why i have this error? Or how can i made what i want do?
