Hello all,
I'd like to write an app in either C# or VB which can capture certain events on a SQL Server. Just like profiler, it would listen to the SQL Server constantly and would probably run in the system tray.
Could you point me in the right direction? How does profiler achieve this, are there any existing ActiveX controls for this or does the .NET framework include something suitable.
Thanks
Tom
I have a table with a few million records and I need to search andreturn rows where a varchar(1000) field has the value "Showed"SQL will not allow me to add an index for a field of this length.Is it possible to create some kind of index for only the value "Showed"Or is there some other faster way to search for this value?thanks,Paul
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a problem synching my xda mini s with my pc using vista. A previous thread was unhelpfully closed by Ilya as being off topic; well it isn't on topic anywhere else. At least not according to microsoft's own search engine. Ilya, why not try giving a helpful answer instead of 'not my problem'? My xda will not synch using vista; XP and ActivSync has been perfect. I've tried installing mobile device centre version 6.1 but I suspect vista isn't compatible with Windows mobile version 5.1. Should it be? If not, is there a patch or is upgrading to vista going to cost another couple of hundred pounds to get a compatible mobile device? If so, I'm off to a different operating system. Perhaps, like many others, back to XP and let Microsoft continue to dither around and experiment on others.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, i have created a mini form to test out easy steps and my sql
connection but something is wrong with my connection i think...
I am running windows XP Pro SP 2. i have Microsoft VisStudio .NET 2003
fully installed and now im installing SQL Server 2000 Developrs
Edition. I just cimpleted the installaion and picked some settings:
Local Computer Installation, Create new Instance since this is the
first time i use it, Server and Client Tools, and chose a Local rather
the Domain option aferwards. (i have used this version before but had
to format the comp so now reinstalling everything).
My problem is this, i basically started the server and it on online. i
went to the "enterprise manager" and in the "Microsoft SQL Servers
-> SQWL Server Group -> (Local)(Windows NT)-> Databases, i
created a new database called tables and added a single table just to
begin testing to see if at least its functional. i was able to do this
so far.
Now i started my .NET, and wrote a tiny program to see if the
connection to the SQL database would open, but it didnt. It always
failed. i am programming an ASP.NET WebApplication. I cant open the
connection to my database. i dont know why. (The tiny piece of code i
wrote is at the bottom in case you know c#). There is a note also
under the code for the ones who will read through its simlicity
any help or walk through would be appreciated. thank u...

I use my Pocket PC XDA O2 mini for 2 years already and I don't have any problems when I sync it with my previous laptop which has Window XP operation system.

Then, I download Windows Mobile Device Center but my computer still could not recognize my O2 mini. My O2 mini has window mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 operation system. Please let me know if you have any advices.

I've looked high and low for information regarding this problem to no avail. Profiler works fine from the local server where SQL7 is running,
(using NT security). But even though my client is multiprotocol, I cannot connect from my desktop using SQL security (ODBC error) or NT
authentication. NT security gives me ConnectionOpenRcpBindingSetAuthInfo(). I do have a valid id on the NT machine as well and am not
getting any errors in the security events log.
Can/How do you connect remotely to the profiler using TCP/IP or Mulitprotocol client?
Why doesn't NT authentication work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

thank you very much
1/When I create a new trace, it gives me sevral events including the SQL server s own functions and provcedures. How do I tell profiler to display only the requests we send SQL server from a VB program or other company made programs instead of including sql server own events as well. That will help me filter the requests and locate the problem easily.
2/ also ,. sometimes, my text data column description gets truncated and as a result I can't see the whole text of a request.
What causes that and how can I fox it pls?
Thank you, i am not familiar with profiler.
Hi hi, We had a sql express version running fine untill recently.
Now it seems cause high processor use, high memory load, etc.
So the websites being dependant on SQL start performing slower.
Is there some way to monitor what is causing this.
I can't seem to read any log files, there is no profiler in express, etc. So what options do I have?
im trying to use the profiler to find out which tables are still being accesses as there seems to be alot of suspected tables lying around and stored objects (sps, functions etc) can the trace profiler be used in this situation?

HiI am just started at a new position. This organization has a number ofdatabase servers with mission critical databases. However, I have twodatabase server, 1 a test server and the other a catch all db server thatcontain a hodge podge of databases. On the test server, there are 54databases while the other has 40. I am pretty confindent that not all ofthese databases are being used. My goal is to find out which ones are nolonger needed.In an attempt to find out who/what is using these databases, I have set upSQL Profiler.My SQL profile setup is as suchObjects - Objects openedSecurity Audit - Audit Login, Login Failed, LogoutSession - Existing ConnectionStored Proc - RPC Completed, SP:StmtCompleted, SP:StmtStartingTSQL - SQL Batch completed, SQL:StmtCompletedMy data columns are the standard except I added DatabaseName.And there lies my problem that I hope someone can help. As I run the trace,all other fields seems to be working except Database Name. I see everythingbut the only way to tell what database is being accessed is looking at theSPID number and comparing it with Process Info in EM or sp_who.Does anyone have any idea why this field is not working? Am I missingsomething? Or am I just giving myself a headache for nothing because thereis an easier way to find the information I want: What the heck is going onwith these database and who is doing what on them?Thanks in advance for any and all help:)Akinja

Thanx in advance.
I am using SQL7. On the client network utility, I am using name pipe and have 4 entries and they are in the same format (ie. server name, named pipes and ip address). I have problem to connect to some of them and getting
[microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Client unable to establish connection
and [microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen(CreateFile())
Any idea?
I get the following error when I try to run Profiler from my client to any of our SQL Servers:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server driver][SQL Server] The operation could not
be completed because your security context could not be impersonated.
Use the SQL Server client configuation application to ensure that you are
connecting using either the Named Pipes or Multiprotocol network library.
We'd like to be able to use TCP/IP for this but I've tried it with Multiprotocol also and still get the same error message.
I would appreciate any suggestions for resolving this.
Thanks.
