Is anyone using sql server 70 or 2000 and a EMC or LSI Metastore SAN? If so, I would like to know how things are going for you. We are currently evaluating both of these products and will be making a decision as to which we will purchase in February. Please advise if you have anything positive or negative to offer.
Thanks.

I have SQL Server 2000 database involving voluminous data spread across different locations in a state. The database involves lot of transactions. The database involves tables storing photo images and thumb impressions along with the textual data and other needed information in a single table. I have a application accessing and updating about 5 tables and reading most of the master tables. I need a strategy to design the database such that performance improves. Once the photo and thumb are inserted for a particular party it is not required for retrieval immediately at any circumstance. In this scenario how should I design the database and keep data volume in check. Can I archive photo and thumb impressions in CDs. Will it be reliable and feasible. Please clarify on this issue. Please share your valuable experience. Only insertions involved in the partyinfo table having Photo and Thumb impressions. Later the table is only used to fetch the data of party other than Photo and thumb.

Hi all,
I have posted a thread on the XML forum but its not getting much traction there so I'm posting a link to it from here hoping that more people will pick it up. Hope that's OK.
I have a problem with a T-SQL query involving XML that is taking FAR too long to run.

It looks like I'll be assigned with development and database management utilizing Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services and saw that there are some issues as it can become quite unwieldy.
I was wondering what difficulties to expect from MOSS and/or Sharepoint in terms of managing and backing up. Any tips or suggestions?

Looking for anyone that has had any experience with using SQL Merge replication while mirroring the publisher database. Thinking about doing this as a recovery plan in the event of a publisher failure.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

IN ONE OF THE ADVERTISEMENT I SAW, IT SAYS "WE NEED PRODUCTION SUPPORT EXPERIENCE". AND MINIMUM CRITERIA IS, HE/SHE SHOULD BE A SQL SERVER DBA.
My Question is, what do we mean by "PRODUCTION SUPPORT IN SQL SERVER".
Can anyone give a good explantion on that, please?. Thanks in advance.

I had a nerve-wracking experience with xp_cmdshell today.
In SSMS, I ran a command to "cd" to a directory, then "rename" some files in that directory. I made the ignorant mistake of running the commands separately - NEVER NEVER DO THIS.
What happened was, by the time I ran the "rename" command it defaulted to the "system32" directory and started renaming files there instead... talk about !!$#*@(!-up!
Has any ever done this, or heard about this horrible experience before? I am trying to document cases of this, so that I don't look like the complete idiot that I am.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL 2000 running a couple of large (up to 70GB) databases. I am currently backing up to disk, which is working fine.
I now want to backup the databases using the Snapshot feature of my storage array. To do this however, I first need to put my databases (3 of them) into 'backup mode', so as to stop transactions being written to the database, and provide a consistent database to backup.
Has anyone had any experience with this feature? Microsoft provide a sample C++ program called snaphot.cpp that puts a single database into 'backup mode'. I am not particularly clued up on C++. Can multiple databases be put into this mode simultaneously? Is this particularly difficult to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Environment:
Windows Server 2003.
2 node Cluster single instance of SQL Server 2K sp3a.
1 SAN.
Cluster groups are:
- Cluster group with its own default resources.
- Oracle group with its own resources.
- SQL Server group with its own resources (Server,services,disks,ip address....)
Disk v: is for SQL Server databases
Disk w: is for SQL Server logs
Disk x: is for SQL Server backups.
SO now I have to create a shared folder where the clients need to connect in order to launch the program (executable file *.exe) and maybe tomorrow I will also need to create others shared folders where to put others executable.
Questions:
1)Is it correct to create theses shared folders in the SQL Server group?
2) In wich one of the tree disks?
3) If I have 20 differents programs with differents security will I end up in having a SQL Server group with 20 different resources (file shares)?
Please advise.
Kind regards.

I have setup a Microsoft SQL 7.0 cluster as Actice/Passive configuration on NT 4.0 Enterprise. The problem I am having is that when I create a shared folder on Node B on a shared drive then I reboot Nobe B, the cluster fails over to Node A, but the shared dispeares.
Does anyone have any idea why would this happend.
Thank You,

Hi All,
Hopefully a painless and quick question to answer:
Am backing up the SQL2000 database(s) using the maintenance plan's under management in the Enterprise Manager.
All is fine however, we are running out of diskspace as the database grows, which is causing the backup to fail if I don't manually remove the nights before.
I have selected to delete old backup files however these files are deleted after the new file is generated and due to the lack of space the new one is not being generated....so in effect the older ones never get a chance to be deleted.
So I was wanting to know if it is at all possible to backup to a UNC path or share . I have tried however it raises an error saying it is not a valid path.
Any assistance here is hugly appreciated (asides from getting new disk - as this isn't a short term option at the moment)...
Cheers all

Can someone please tell me what is meant by a file share?I'm doing a little reading on MS Sql Server and they talk about howyou can connect to the sql server through a named pipe.I'm guessing that a file share means a specific service running on aserver. Is this correct?The book says the following:When you connect to a file share you use a Universal Naming Conventionpath to a file server: \FILESERVERSharename.To connect to a named pipe, you connect to a share of the form:\COMPUTERpipesqlqueryThanks Hope you can clear this up for me.

hi all,
i'm trying to write a script just like "copy database wizard" operation, for detaching, copy and ataching a database from a remote sql server to a local server.
Now the problem is when i try to copy the mdf file from the sql remote server to my local server.
Is it possible to create a UNC share in the remote sql server and delete after with t-sql like the Copy Database wizard does?
hope i made my self clear enought.

I would like to backup my databases to a network share (NAS) instead of local disk using Maintenance Plans created by Enterprise Manager. I have successfully used a UNC path to target the destination network share but have not been to figure out how to submit a logon to the network share before the backup is executed.
The SQL Server instance is running in the context of the local system account.
Can I insert a step in the SQL SQL job that is created by the Maintenance Plans that changes the Windows account that the backup runs under? If yes what command syntax would I use in the inserted step or is there another way to accomplish that I'm attempting to do?
thanks

Hello,
I am trying to backup a database with a command like:
BACKUP DATABASE my DataBase TO DISK = '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'
but I get the error 'Cannot open backup device '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'. Device error or device off-line.
The bkDisk folder is shared, with Everyone full-control access (it's a test environment)
MS SQL 2000.
I attempted to backup my database to a shared drive using the UNC path and it gave me access denied. Any thoughts?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have got a project where I am asked to utilize SharePoint features as much as possible. This project is earlier developed in .Net using Sharepoint Object Model. But now .Net should be eliminated as much as possible.
The requirements are :
Display a list of projects for the logged in user (windows logged in user). The list should have search criteria: project name, customer, project manager, project period.
On click of a project in the list, project details should be displayed Details like customer, team, start date, highlights, news. On click of a team member's name, Details of the team member (Name, office location, project joining, releaving dates, photo ) should be displayed.
To do this in Sharepoint my major hurdle is to display project list for windows logged in user. How do I do this in Sharepoint???
Expecting ideas/workarounds from all... Please be kind enough for that.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I'm new to replication. Can anyone help with the following?
I want to publish the specific rows of data that are created on the publisher without accepting changes to those rows from subscribers, but do accept new rows (and changes to those rows) from subscribers.
EG. publisher creates rows 1 and 2 which are published to the subscriber
subscriber creates rows 3 and 4 which are merged back to the publisher
subscriber's updates (or delets) to rows 1 and 2 are not merged back to the publisher
So basically I want the publisher created rows to be published but remain as is whilst allowing subscriber created rows to be merged back to the publisher.
Hope is makes sense.
Thanks in advance,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've recently moved an asp.net website from my PC to a network share because another tech it going to be working on it. I finally got the correct permissions on the network share and the correct .NET Framework settings on my PC to be able to run the app. Now I can't access the SQL server which is on a different server. Getting the following error:
Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
How to I setup access to my SQL server for the app from any given PC on my LAN?
I make code like this:
In Application_Start,Create a SqlConnection and store it into HttpApplication:HttpContext.Current.Application["SQLCONN"] = new SqlConnection("XXXXConnectionString");
((SqlConnection)HttpContext.Current.Application["SQLCONN"]).Open();
While using this connection , use it as Sqlconnection(what is already opened), and do not close it:
SqlCommand db_comm = new SqlCommand("dbo.abcd",(SqlConnection)HttpContext.Current.Application["SQLCONN"]);
After Application_End,Close this Sqlconnection:
((SqlConnection)HttpContext.Current.Application["SQLCONN"]).Close();
==========================
This can save a lot of trouble to manage connections,i think.
but i don't know whether it will cause connection pool errors.

Please verify that this share exists and that you have sufficient permissions to access it." The share does exist and the login should have sufficient permissions. To which login is this message referring? Is it the NT domain login on the import machine or is it one of the services on the export machine?
