I'm developing a client-server application using Visual Basic and SQL Server
6.5 for 700 users. The application currently requires users to login to the
database using their network account (via trusted connections). Each of the
users takes up a maximum of 6 connections. Unfortunately, other
considerations will force us to discard use of trusted connections. So it
only leaves us either to create 700 user accounts on SQL Server separately
from their network logins or to create one SQL Server account and everybody
uses that same account to login to the database. For political reasons, the
customer would prefer not to ask their support group to maintain 700 user
accounts on SQL Server if it can be avoided.
My question: is there any technical limitation or other negative consequence
of having 700 users login to the same account to SQL Server if SQL Server
can handle that many connections (it would be 6*700 = 4200 connections)
simultaneously? Are we supposed to do things like this? It seems that we
don’t have better choice than this.

I have a SQL Server (Express) database that I use in a Visual Studio (Visual Basic) 2005 application.
The application is of the Decision Support type, that routine deletes the contents of some of the database tables and then re-populates them with new data. There is no reason for keeping the "old" contents and no reason to restore the old content.
(It does this using "BULK INSERT" statements, as in:
"BULK INSERT SharePrices FROM "C:SharePrice.txt")
Because of all the data replacing, the log file gets huge quickly. I don't need the log file at all.
(I suspect that the logging is also taking up time unncessarily.)
Is there any way I can set the database not to have a log file at all, or to have a small log file?
(I've tried deleting the log file from SQL Server Management SQL Express, but get a message that there has to be a log file.)
When I restrict the log file size, my application returns error messages that the log file is too small, and the application can't do what it needs to do.
I have already made sure that in the database that the recovery mode is set to "Simple" and that "AutoShrink" is set to true.
I've tried manual "Shrinks". These work. However, as soon as the application accesses the database, the log file gets huge again.
I realise I may have to do (unnecessary) backups before/after my bulk insert statements. If so, I'd appreciate some help on how to do this from within a Visual Basic 2005 application. (I'm actually using the Data Access block from the Enterprise Library for my data access.)
I'd really appreciate your help.
Kind regards

Dear all,
Can anybody provide sample t-sql procedures coding to do the following tasks?
I want to call a sql stored procedures with parameter passing. I write down the pseudo codes as follows:
In the SQL server side, write a stored procedure which performs the following:
With input parameter "ABCDE";
execute SQL statement "select * from table A where tableA.field B = "ABCDE";
For each record from the result of the above SQL statement,
"select * from tableB where tableB.field C=tableA.fieldX"
if the record can be found in tableB,
"update tableB set tableB.fieldD=something";
if the record cannot be found in tableB,
"insert a new record in tableB"
My actual application requirement is that I have an input file of over hundred thousand records which acts as a primary file to update or to add records to another file. My client side application, which is VB.NET, call a sql procedures once to perform this task. I don't want the VB.NET program to loop through all the input records and call a sql procedure a hundred thousand times!
thanks in advance!

hi! I'm still fairly wet behind the ears when it comes to databases, especially sql server 2000. But I just got a copy from my University and I really want to spend some time messing with it. The first thing I want to try is making a shopping cart that stores the items in the database rather than in the session. I'm using asp.net (VB) and I had previously made a simple shopping cart for a SMALL site that stored all the information in a dataset stored in the session... but I've been told that isn't a good idea and reccomended I store the data in the sql database. so that's what I want to do!
I'm looking for resources that can help me get this started. These are the first questions I have about this approach, and any advice from you experts would be most appreciated!
1) do I store the data in a temporary table or do I use the regular table and make temporary rows? if the former how do I transfer the rows from the temp table to the order table? if the latter how do I change it from temporary to peromanent? in either case, how do I eliminate rows if the user abandons their cart?
2) how do I first initialize an order and keep track of the orderID for each user and ensure that no one is assigned a duplicate orderID?
those are my biggest confusions about this approach. I've looked for books on this but most are either too much about sql syntax and big-time server management, or they are too general and not specific to sql server. I've tried looking online, but I can't find much information on doing this using asp.net 2.0. thanks again for your help!

Hello,
In the ErrorLog of my Sql Server , i found this line :
2007-06-26 05:35:18.37 Serveur The SQL Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x54b, state: 3. Failure to register an SPN may cause integrated authentication to fall back to NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies.
Operating System XP Home SP2

( idem for another workstation with XP Pro SP2 and same version of SQL Server 2005 Express
My problem is :
i want use the windows authentification but my computers are on Worhkgroup linked by a router ( no window server )
i have read that's possible to connect from a remote computer to a computer having a SQL Server 2005 Express through SPN
How can i do it ? ( activating NTLM ? but how ?)
I'm writing a C# program which must be executing on several computers with a SQL Server 2005 Express installed on a particular computer. These computers will belong to a domain of Windows Server 2003.
As i can't connect to this "normal" network, i am trying to simulate this network at home because i want to test this program and especially the possible locks problems.
I don't know whether i'm querying with the "correct" forum.
Sorry for my poor english.
I shall appreciate any help about this problem

Hi!
I'm new to SSIS (and quite new to SQL Server). I have a process which I'd like to automize via SSIS - just don't know how and couldn't figure it out yet by playing around with the program. Shouldn't be too difficult though.
First of all, that's the process as I do it now:
1) Load several flatfile sources (dumps of SQL tables) into an SQL database.
2) Add identifier rows (to some tables), set the primary and foreign keys so the database is "recreated" and I can work on it.
3) Do several simple transformations, aggregations and selects across tables and finally write a new table containing information for reporting stuff.
I succeded in loading flatfiles within the data flow view, doing some transformations and saving the output to a flatfile. What I didn't find out: how can I "recreate" the database enabling me to perform "SELECT/FROM/WHERE" statements across tables? Will I have to write the imported files to tables within a db (how?) or can I avoid this step?
A little guide (newbie friendly) would be great help!

I created a report which has duplicates on one field. I want the report to display the duplicates, but cannot figure out how. Anywhere I have found where there is a "Hide Duplicates" option I have it turned off (in matrix properties), but the report matrix still hides the duplicates. I don't understand why this would happen since the other fields on the same record are not duplicates. I tried grouping but that was no help.
The query in the dataset DOES return the duplicates as expected.
Anyone know how to fix this, or if it is a bug?
Thanks,
Chris

I have three tables, Employer, Customer and CustomerEmployer. The employer table contains all employers and the customeremployer table contains customer records for an employer. For example
Employer Table
EmployerID Name Address
1 ABC Company 123 Main Street
2 CDE Company 1 South Street
3 JJJ Company 3 Timothy Street
4 ZZZ Company 2 Rust Street
Customer Employer Table
ID EmployerID CustomerID
1 3 1
2 3 2
Customer Table
ID Name
1 Joe Smith
2 Jane Thomas
3 Tim James
I would like to run a select statement which lists all the employers and whether the employer has already been assigned to a customer. For example, for Joe Smith I would like to see all the employers listed AND some marker indicating that Joe is already assigned to EmployerID 3, JJJ Company.
Results
EmployerID Name Address CustomerID
1 ABC Company 123 Main Street
2 CDE Company 1 South Street
3 JJJ Company 3 Timothy Street 3
4 ZZZ Company 2 Rust Street
I have tried unions and many types of joins but none seem to work correctly. I was using the following select statement however only employers that are contained in the customeremployer table appear.
SELECT Employer.EmployerID, Employer.Name, Address, Employer.City,
CustomerEmployer.CustomerID
FROM CustomerEmployer RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Employer ON CustomerEmployer.EmployerID = Employer.EmployerID
WHERE (CustomerEmployer.CustomerID = @customerid) OR (CustomerEmployer.CustomerID IS NULL)
ORDER BY Name
Any ideas?
Thanks.

In my SQL Server 2005, we stored multiple application tables in a single database. All of them is using the dbo schema in the past.
Now, we would like to change this practice and adopt a better one. However, we got some problems in the configuration.
If I want to create such a database, should I first create multiple logins and multiple users for all the application. The mulitple logins are used in the connectionstring of my web. While each login can only have 1 user in a database, I need to create a user for each login as well. (Am I correct in doing so? It seems a bit messy.)
The other problem is what should the database role of all that users? If I don't grant them the db_owner. They can't create the required tables. If I grant it, it voliate the intension of separating different application...
Please help. I am a bit lost on this now. Thanks!

hello,My friend and I are working on a project involving oracle 9i and an oldUnify database. We got the oracle to see the unify (oracle running onwindows) by using the heterogenous services on oracle.However, that was a test environment. The production environment hasoracle running on linux. The problem is that the odbc drivers for theold unify database are only available on windows!So, I was wondering about something.In the production environment, they also have a MS-SQL 2000 database.Does that database have a function similar to oracle's heterogenousservices that will let us connect to the old unify database and passthat data to oracle?We're building custom apps. on oracle 10g application server. Runningoracle on windows in the production environment is not going to happen.Thanks,Dave
