A Game Company In Trouble

Jul 20, 2005

My Name is Nick Soutter, I am the owner of a small game company, Aepox Games(We're in the middle of a name change from "Lamar Games"),www.lamargames.net.Our first commercial game, Andromeda Online (www.andromedaonline.net) isgoing into beta soon. It runs on an evaluation edition of SQL Server 2000(our intention is, when it launches, we earn the money to buy a copy beforethe evaluation expires).We have been testing Andromeda Online, and found that saves to the databasetake about 10 seconds (we were anticipating less than 1). We felt we needsomebody experienced in optimizing sql databases to help us optimize thedatabase, and get it running in the best method for our particularapplication.Our program accesses the database in Java, and people with understanding inhow to optimize java connections would be a tremendous help.My company is small, and we honestly cant afford much. Everybody on thisproject, from the sound guys to the graphic artist, has worked for 1/10 to1/100 of the value of the job. We're simply a starting company looking fordedicated people who are willing to work more for credit than money.We can offer credit on our website(http://www.andromedaonline.net/credits.html) to anybody who helps us, butlittle more (maybe $100, but we're very over budget, and in desperate needof help). Because of how we intend the game to run (with maybe 100-200concurrent games running online), a 10 second save time is simplyunacceptable.Anybody who would be willing to help us, please send a resume toJoin Bytes!. Experience would be nice, but not a requirement.We're looking for someone who can talk with our programmer about the typesof calls made to our SQL database, and then can log into the DB and optimizeit to run as fast as possible considering our specific needs.Thank you for your time.Nick SoutterAepox (Lamar) Games

Recovery :: Server Cluster Resource Fails To Come Online And Pending Online State

Nov 3, 2015

We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.

SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

Update Game Schedule

Apr 1, 2015

Before the start of each season, the various clubs/teams compile an initial game schedule using Excel. Once the master schedule is complete, it is sent to me. The initial master schedule is loaded into the database [MatchSchedule] from the Excel spreadsheet using the SQL Server Import/Export Wizard. This works well enough. However, during the season there are frequent small changes to dates & times, venues, etc. These changes are sent to me in Excel spreadsheets.

I need an efficient & ERROR FREE method of getting the new game details into the master schedule. I thought perhaps the easiest way to accomplish updates to the table MatchSchedule t1 was to use a temporary table MatchSchedule_Updates_temp t2 to hold the new game details (obtained from Excel spreadsheets) and then use UPDATE to update MatchSchedule with those games that have changed. The primary key is Match_Id.

Unfortunately, I keep getting the following error messages which I have been unable to correct!

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near 't1'.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'SET'.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 41
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.

Here is my code:-

USE [database]
GO
UPDATE dbo.MatchSchedule t1
SET (
t1.MatchDate
,t1.MatchTime
,t1.Venue

Efficient Way To Store Game Data: Help?

Jun 22, 2007

Hello everyone!



So I am trying to wrap my head around the most efficient way to store some game data in sql server 2005.

I wont list all of my tables or columns as there would just be too many, but will try to post as exact as I can.



Basically lets say I have 3000 monsters in my game, and over 8000 items some of which are monster loot.

Each monster could have 1 drop item or they could have 200 different item drops all depending on the monster.



So I am just trying to find the best method of creating a loot table.



So I have the following in mind.



[MonsterTable]

monsterID;

monsterName;

etc...



[ItemTable]

itemID;

itemName;

etc..



[LootTable]

lootTableID;

refMonsterID;

refItemID;



So I'm not worried about how I would get all of the data in there, I'm just wondering if this simple method of using Ref. ID's between tables would provide the best method for extracting the data when needed.



Any ideas or thoughts are more then welcome, any questions just ask, and thanks for any guidance or information you can provide on a more efficient manner.

Company - Address

Apr 17, 2004

I need some help devising my tables.

I have a company table and a address table. I have created a linked table with two foreign keys from the company table and the address table respectively.

This set up allows me to apply more than one address per company which is fine. My problem is that I need a way to prevent a company from entering exactly the same address twice.

In the address table i have the following fields:

AddressKey - PK
CompanyKey - FK
Address 1 - 3
Town
County
Country
PostCode

In the company table I have the following fields.

CompanyKey - PK
FirstName
Secondname

And finally in the link table I have the following:

CompanyKey - FK
AddressKey - FK.

Now, if i entered the following into the address table Assuming that company id of 1 was already entered into the company table.

AddressKey - 1, CompanyKey = 1, Address1 = 11 Address2= Taylor

I need a way of preventing this from happening.

AddressKey - 2, CompanyKey = 1, Address1 = 11 Address2= Taylor

As can be seen the PK - FK values are unique and are correct for referential integrity, but the actual address is the same.

Any help we be mostly appreciated.

Cheers

Wayne

Company Dimension

Jan 25, 2007

We deal with multiple vendors who provide us information via text/xml files. Vendor A may provide financial data, vendor b provides litigation data, vendor c provides ratings data. Our current structure has databases for each vendor with its own company table which basically makes all this data disconnected. Of course each vendor has its own proprietary company id to make records unique.

All of the data is based on companies so the grain of data would be at a company level. I would like to be able to link this information together by creating a dimensional model that has a single company table (DimCompany) and has facts populated based on the type of data we receive. Would this be the right sequence of events?

1. My initial load (historical) would have to look at all these data sources and create one company record in my DimCompany table. This table would then link to all other fact tables to provide a single view of company info. I would imagine this would have to be a fuzzy lookup since one company will be in all sources.

2. On subsequent loads (incremental) I would probably have to do a lookup of companies in the dimension via the proprietary code and add if the company wasn't there.

Any advice on tackling this issue would be greatly appreciated especially if SSIS was used in the process.

Company With Address Question

Mar 18, 2004

I have a database that allows a client to have multiple addresses, could be a home, business, vacation, etc... I'm trying to deside if I should put the Company Name and Title fileds in the tblClientAddresses table or keep it with the tblClient table. We do mailings to clients and if the mail is going to a home address the company and title should be excluded. If I put them in the tblClients table I really have no way of knowing if we are mailing to a home or a company. If i put the company and title with the address it makes sence that this would solve the issue.

Looking for any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you,

From Test Environment To Web Hosting Company

Jul 9, 2006

I must be missing something, and its starting to fusterate me.  Bear with me here.
I created a site for a ...client I guess you'd call it, and made this really slick newletter generator thing.  The people from the web enter in their info, and if they want, they sign up for a newsletter -- all tied into a db, 1 table, 4 stored procedures, REALLY simple stuff.  They insisted I used a certain webhost which, on paper, looks like it will fit the bill.  I'm starting to question that.
On top of the newsletter thing, I created an aspnetdb for the "administration" side of it for her to log into and send out the newsletter so total, there's 2 dbs in the app_data folder.  Locally, it works GREAT and on my test box (iis6) that is running 2k5 express.  The webhost runs sql2k in (what I consider) a bastardized way.  Can't use the management studio, can't use anything except a really weak web-based interface which adds to my fusteration.
Anyway, my questions : 1, is there a way to make the mdf files work with sql2k without having to re-do the whole thing and 2, if I have to redo it, does anyone have an example connection string that might help out?

Handing Over SQL Server DB To Client Company

Oct 15, 2007

I would like to handover a SQL server 2005 database that I've been using for testing/development to a client for use in a production environment. Besides deleting my test records from the database and making a copy of the MDF file, do I have to handover the datase's LDF file too? I guess I should also compress the database before providing a copy. Please advise of "gotchas" I should be a aware of. Also, I guess the client's IT group would need to run my "create user" script first before mounting the database, since the created user is the owner of the database.

Thanks,

HELP! Reset Dbo Login Id Password, Cannot Get Company Website Up

Mar 2, 2007

Our company website runs off of Microsoft SQL Server. Someone tried changing the 'administrative' password but the way that they did it locks us out of the database.

Under Enterprise Manager there is a Security group, underneath here is a login. The person reset the password here on the login id that is the DBO for our website's database. Underneath the database in Enterprise Manager the dbo uses this login id. Where else does the password need to get reset in order for that login id to access the database? We cannot set it back to the previous password because it is unknown.

When we go to our website we get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect


Please try the following:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.

Creating Company's RDBMS Development Review Group

Feb 22, 2008

Hello,
I've proposed to the head of IT at my organisation to head an database development export group to:
- Provide assistance in improving the performance of existing relational databases
- Provide assistance for the development of new database, e.g. correct construction of indexes; data contention, etc.
- Creation of database development standards
- Enforce the above standards for new databases so that the database is not deployed to production servers until it passes the standards.

I'd really like this to be a success as it should improve our rather crappy databases, basically because the people currently creating the databases don't know much about relational design.

Can anyone please post their experiences of setting something like this up, or working on such an expert group where they work? I'd really like to hear the good and bad experiences and what and (what not) to avoid.

Thanks

Cannot Open Company File In Office Accounting - SQL Server Problem?

Jan 10, 2008

Hi guys,

I recently installed Office Accounting 2007 Professional on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SQL Server 2005 (installed on an existing instance) and updated Office Accounting with service pack 1. However, after I have created the company file, other users were unable to open it. The error message was "The company could not be opened. Please ensure the SQL Server exists, the service is running and access has been granted."

Below are some of the stuff I had done, but still cannot solve the problem:

- Under "Manage users and roles", I granted full control to all users in the AD.
- Made the company.sbc as well as the multiuser.sbc file available to everyone on the server's shared drive.
- Granted full control to all users in the AD for the above mentioned shared drive.
- Copied the company.sbc and multiuser.sbc files onto all client computers.
- Ensured that SQL Server is running.
- Checked the security options for the linked database to ensure all users have the necessary rights.
- Enabled TCP/IP and named pipes as well as the port 5356 and have restarted the services.
- Added port 5356 as an exception in Windows firewall on all client computers.
- I even switched off Windows Firewall on the server just to eliminate this possibility!
- Tried everything listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910012

I still get that error message on all client computers!!! What else have I left out? God bless me...

DB Engine :: Query / Function To Handle Subsidiaries In A Company Tree

May 2, 2015

I have a holding tree with more than 200 companies, and several layers. Each company is defined by:

- a unique ID
- a direct parent ID --> the company immediately above in the tree
- an ultimate parent ID --> the company that owns the entire tree, it is the same for all

Now I am looking for a function that returns the list of all companies below a given one in the tree, and there could be several layers underneath. Doing that for the ultimate parent is easy because all companies now who their ultimate parent is, but I am struggling to build a function that works for an intermediary parent in a dynamic way.

Now you all must admit that, if your somewhat new to this databasing, It's a ***.



The source for my application is Visual Web Designer 2005 Express

It is an ASP.Net driven site with membership roles and all the good stuff.

the latest theory is that I need to change the provider config in the web.config file from AspNetSqlProvider

to something else. Most of my complications and frustrations come from GoDaddy and no access to the

shared server (understandibly).



I hope I gave enough info for help and not too much..

Star Schema Design For Company Headcount With Headcount Targets

Nov 16, 2007

I am cutting my teeth on star schema design. I have a simple star schema I am building for Headounct analysis at work. I have a factless fact table where a row represents a head in the company. Each head is toed to a particulat week in a Date dimension tabel. There are additional dimensions for things like gender, ethnicity, marital status, age, etc. Now in my department dimension - it's hierarchical. In the DimDepartmnet there is a department which belongs to a company. Comapnies belong to divisions. Now the fun part. Each division has a headcount target for each year. Up to this point I am in a perfect star schema (no snow flaking). How would I integrate in this concept of a headcount target for each division for a given year?

We are using cognos on top of this star schema to provide reporting and analysis services if that is relevant. From the Star Schema design stand point... any thoughts?
