Preserving SQL DB When Applying Application Update
Oct 24, 2006
Hi,
Apologies if this question is similar to one posted under "Click once deployment" but I got no replies and I REALLY need to know the answer to my problem!
I am using VB on VS 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express.
My application is nearing the stage where I can start to use real data (from the end user) for testing purposes. Once I am as happy as I can be, I will install the application on the user's machine and he will use the application for a few weeks, with real data, before giving me a list of problems/suggested improvements etc.
I will then need to make the changes and re-install the application on his machine without losing all the changes he has made to the DB in those weeks.
Presumably, there must be a way of updating the executables without making changes to the DB on the client machine.
This is a very serious issue for me as the data will be around 2,000 records each of over 60 fields and the raw data will come from a variety of sources including paper so the data inputting will be a massive task that I do not want to repeat!
Also, if the application were ever to be sold, then other users would want to apply updates to the software whilst keeping their own data secure.
I have tried re-publishing and installing the application after setting the Publish Status of the DB files to "Exclude" but the newly installed application fails to connect to the old version of the DB.
I would very much appreciate any help in this matter as I hope I haven't just wasted several months of coding!

I have a question about Service Packs and Cumulative Updates for SQL 2008 R2.
Do you need to apply them in the order that they are released? Or can you just apply the latest Service Pack and Cumulative Update?

I usually do this in VB, so I'm pretty sure my problem is related to c#. I'm trying to save the contents of a multiline textbox into a SQL server NTEXT field. When I do the insert, the SQL looks like (I'm using a stored procedure):
pr_Update 8,1,'line1
line2'
You can see that C# replaced the newline character with
When I look in the table using the management studio, I see line1 (then two boxes) then line2. After I do a select, the string returned is line1
How do I insert text from a multiline text box into sql server, and get it back with the newlines?
Thanks! ---Selden

I have a problem that has been frustrating me for a long time, simply because I know this has to be somewhere but I cant seem to find where to toggle this setting.
I have a large number of tables that I regularly send to a remote server using the DTS Export Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
Although I have toggled "Enable Identity Insert", as well as "Drop and Recreate Destination Tables", my tables upon completion are missing their primary key constraints, as well as its Identity attribute.
I have to go in manually to each table and set the column that is the PK, and the Identity attributes - all my stored procs break as a result of the missing constraint.
What setting do I need to flag during the DTS Export that will preserve the key values for me on completion?

I have a bunch of records of the following layout:
A B 1235
A B 1236
A B 1237
A C 1238
A C 1239
When I run my script, I want to aggregate these together, but preserve the starting and ending record ids in two new columns:
A B 1235 1237
A C 1238 1239
Can I do all of this in an Aggregate Transformer, or do I need to derive some columns first?
Thanks!

Hi,
Using Management Studio, when I import data from one identical database to another, any identity specifications get dropped from the destination database.
(From columns which have them on the source database and which had them on the destination database.)
Any way to avoid this?

i have a database for an application, which has some particular fields in some table. i want to make sure that data update in those fields should be only thru the application, and no one (even dba) should be able to update data in those fields thru sql tools.
this is to make sure that no body is updating the field except the users thru the application. as these fields contain infor about "approval" of documents.

we have a new requirement that calls for also (in addition to RS's automatic directory updates) updating an organizational application database with metatdata about instances of scheduled reports, or alternatively having our app query RS's metadata for such info.
So, let's say we have a report called Sales Detail, and it runs at 8am every day of the week for client A thru the scheduling mechanism that comes with RS. Each time it runs to completion, an entry would have to be made in our organizational database representing a new run (instance) of the report under the client for whom it was run, in this case A.
Forgetting for the moment potential issues with a reporting system interfering with the transactional, or vice versa, can datasets in RS also do updates?...or can the scheduling mechanism in RS be extended to also log info to other places?...or is the metadata kept by RS (about instances of reports) easy to get to and decipher, and possibly be extended to record for which client this particular instance was run?

SELECT ContactID,FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,Description FROM Contact
Contact table contains 4 columns as explained. in the application there is one tab called Contact where it displays Above information and description is non editable.Now the new requirement has come user can update the description information and save information in a new column say 'Description1'. that means new column needs to be added in the db and also necessary changes needs to be done at the application side
For ex :SELECT ContactID,FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,Description,Description1 FROM Contact
Now when user views the contact table it should display description info by default from 'description' table.If he edits he should see edited data from 'description1' table.the logic should if updated data is there display that data from 'description1' table other wise display from 'description' table

I am working on a package to insert and update contacts from a database into an application. To insert into application I am using script component.
So my question is can I do both insert and update script seperately in two different script components of same package.
My package looks something like this.
Can we push new inserts into one script component and updates to other script component?
Does both the script components execute at the same time?Will there be any conflicts between insert and update in the application?

We have an application that runs Jobs, each of which affect ## number of child objects (usually around 1M). When a thread gets to 5000 updated child objects it bulk inserts into a table called ActionLog with the child Id and JobId.
When the job is complete a sproc SUMs the children from the ActionLog table:
select sum(id) from ACTIONLOG where JOBID = @JobId;
It then updates the Jobs table AffectedObjectCount column with the sum(*) from above.
Instead of writing to the ActionLog table and calculating the SUM at the end I would like to do this 'real time'. After the bulk insert I would like to update the AffectedObjectCount column with the number of rows that were just bulk inserted. I tried this in the past and ran into major contention issues. There are usually 20 threads running a job so there exists a lot of potential for deadlocks.
Is there a recommended way to handle updating one column on one row from multiple threads? What is the best practice for a counter like this?

Hi,
I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).
It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.
I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).
Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I need to modify an already existing stored procedure, which takes three parameters. Currently it uses exclusively "or" logic to apply the parameters to a select statement. e.g.
and (adid = @adID or (editorID = @editorID and aa.editorTypeID = 1))
What I need it to do is to apply a different "and/or" logic depending on what is supplied. If two or three parameters are supplied then it needs to use "and" logic to join them. Howver, if just one parameter is supplied then it should search on that parameter alone - which it won't do if I just join them all together using "and" by default.
The work has to be done inside the T-SQL, not in the calling code. I only know two ways of doing this. Firstly to create different stored procedures and use the calling code to pick one or the other depending on supplied parameters. The other is to do if/or login inside the SP itself on the values of the parameters. Either way presents something of a maintenance nightmare. Is there any other way to do this?
Cheers,
Matt

I have never applied a service pack to sql server 2000. Someone tells me that you have an option of supplying the SA password but do not have to and the service pack is applied just as if you did supply the SA password. This sounds odd to me. So, is it true? I am asking because our server instance shows "SP4" but a fix that was supposed to be included in SP4 was apparently not as the problem persists (link from sql server 2005 to 2000 fails when referenced in sql2005). I was thinking that whoever ran the service pack may not have provided the SA password so some of the SP4 was not applied???
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "s-1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Thanks.

Ok I already have a
database layed out with several tables and relationships set up, and i
went ahead and built a bunch of pages that I was planning on using.
While i was doing this I ran into 2 problems, the first was i wrote
some SQL statements to insert data from input boxes into some tables i
have in my database, i used a catch exception statement as well as a
if/else statement to handle the transfer to diffirent pages like a
signup succeded or failed, the problem im having is that the data isnt
saving into the database. (I was modeling my code after the Video 8 in the
Learning SQL server 2005 Express Edition for Beginners Video Series....
I actually got them to work......sorta....) When i test it no
exceptions are thrown and it continues on like nothing went wrong. The
other Problem i ran into was i realized i wanted to use the memberships
and roles provided by ASP.NET 2.0, and since i already created the pages for the site, i was
wondering if there was a way to add them in. This site isnt anything
fancy at all, i wanted to try and create a app where users sign up and
create an account on the site, but i also wanted to have the
flexability to insert and retrieve data from the database with out
having to be stuck in the templates. Sorry for the long story im
trying to give all the info possible. Any help on this would be
great! Thanks!

Our update of KB 934458 to SQL Server 2005 SP2 has failed on a Windows 2003 SP2 server. This is a standard version of SQL Server.
The error reported is:
Error Number : 29506
Error Description : MSP Error: 29506 SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file e:MSQLMSSQLData for user Administrator. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
I have verified that Administrator has full control permissions for the folder indicated in the error message. The SQL Server Service account also has full control permissions on the folder.
I have run the update as administrator without any access restriction.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
