I created SDF database files for "SQL compact" with a size larger than 128
MB (which is default for creation). Now when I try to open these files with
VS2005 I get the error "The size of the databasfile exceeds the configured
maximum...Required Max Databse size (in MB; 0 if unknown)" (translated from
german). The real problem is that I can not change the connectionstring in
VS, cause all field which show the connectionstring are readonly (greyed
out). I know I have to set the option "Max Database Size = 512" or so in the
connectionstring to get the things runnning, but don't know any way to do
that in VS2005.
My attempt to access the SDF files when copied to the device via active sync
results in the same error message.
This seems for me to be a design flaw, cause I can not add the optional
parameter to the connection string (even not in the details form, where only
"DataSource" and "Password" fields are displayed.
- Does anybody know a solution in VS2005?
- Does anybody have a workaround for me?
- Does anybody know where the connectionstrings of VS2005 are stored, so
that I may "hack" the connection string?
I'm getting this error while trying to insert records into a SQL Server Compact Edition database. I have pasted my connection string that was used when creating the database as well as for accessing that same database from my Windows application.
Thanks for any help any of you can give!
Data Source=OnTheGo.sdf;Encrypt Database=True;Password=<password>;Max Database Size=4091
I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.
My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get. " The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].
I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.
I'm a hobby C# programmer, and when at university there are a few machines that have SQL Server 2005 installed on them (i think it's standard ed).
From looking around at sql 2005 free edition and DNN (dot net nuke) it's apparently possible to have the database file in the execution directory of your application.
My question is this, if i have a C# win app, is in possible for me to store the database files, in the executable directory of that app, and not in the default sql database store of C:prog filessql server90 data etc...?
Ie, what i want to do, is for the C# win application on start up to "mount" the database, use it normally like any other sql database, and then "unmount" it at the end.
The reason for "mounting" and "unmounting" is that i don't want the database to be accessible or even visible to sql server when the c# app isnt running.
I hope I've explained myself clearly, and thanks a lot in advance. pro-logic
I have a SSIS package which reads XXX.rpt file from a LAN share. This is a simple text file from a mainframe job. The package is stored in file system and invoked by a third party scheduler. The scheduler uses a specific NT account to run the package and the NT account has read access to the share. The SSIS package is not updating the rpt file in the share. It reads the rpt file and updates sql database.
The issue is when the package is run, it returns the following error:
Error: 2008-02-07 14:52:33.18 Code: 0xC001401E Source: Mycustom Data Extract Connection manager "MyText File" Description: The file name "\myserverdev est.rpt" specified in the connection was not valid. End Error
I have verified that the NT account has read access to the LAN share. Does the account should also have write access?
Our client uses the report builder to generate reports for collection of employees. We would like to use the employee records in this report to perform some additional processing (such as the list of employees gets assigned to a particular group).
Programmatically, I can retrieve a byte stream from rs.GetReportDefinition( "myClientEmpReport") and deserialize the stream into Report object (as define by ReportDefinition.xsd).
I can then manually drill down and retrieve the SematicQuery xml from the commandText field.
The problem is how to convert the SemanticQuery format into a T-Sql query that I can run against the view that the report model is based off of.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Arjay
P.S. Running SQL 2005 Reporting Services, VC# 2005, ASP.Net 2.0.
I am trying to create a sproc creates several tables, views, and sprocs across several similar DBs (please...no lectures on structure...I didn't create this multi-DB setup) .
My sproc loops through the DBs and runs a script on each DB. I am running the Sproc from a client computer and cannot easily access the c drive on the SQL server.
The only way I have figured out how do do this is to run the following
xp_cmdshell 'isql d- %@mydb% i- c:script.sql'
inside a loop.
My problem is that xp_cmdshell refers to the server c drive instead of my local c drive, where my script file is.
Is there a way to refer to my local c drive? Also any thoughts on a better way to approach this (other than running the entire script inline in the sproc since I don't want to have to run quotes around each batch of the script).
hi every one. i am a new user of asp.net 2.0 using C# code and i am facing a problem in accessing a SQL Server2005 database file in the remote computer. i have connected two pc with peer to peer connection and trying to add a databse using the "Add connection" option from the visual studio 2005. in the add connection dialog box it is showing me the remote server and it was supposed to show all the database in that SQL Server when i select one. but when i am choosing the server name it was not showing me anything. by the way i have configuered the surface area for "both TCP/IP and named pipes" and both the pc's server browser is turned on. is it the right way to access a database file from a remote pc or not?? please send me a good solution to do this things and try to explain the codes with example. waiting for response....plz send me the solution.. as soon as possible
I'm doing a simple ETL that reads a database table and dumps the content to a text file. The text file will be named Employee.txt. This file name will remain the same across my environments, but I may want to vary the directory location to where I want this file dumped.
So, I defined an environment variable called "DataTargetDir" in all my environments. Now, I want to utilize this variable in the "File name:" box within the Flat File Connection Manager Editor. How do I do this? I'm thinking I can write something like "%DataTargetDir%Employee.txt" in the "File name:" box, but it's not working.
I am using sql server 2000 developer editionMy table defintion is as followin: CREATE TABLE query_table (id IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,qtext char (4000) )When i try to insert data with length more than 256 characterit only inserts only the first 256 characters.Please, let me know why this is happening.
I have a situation where I need to migrate data from an older platform to a newer one. The data from the old system(s) will be available on DAT tapes. All database construction on the new system will be identical to the old one in size and schema, except for one table (call it "ARCHIVE").
If the ARCHIVE table on the old system is 210MB, and the ARCHIVE table on the new system has the same attributes but has been expanded to 380MB in size, can I simply restore the dump for the old table into the new ARCHIVE?
Empirically it works (I have done it with apparent success two times) but I seem to recall that backups are done by pages, and I'm concerned that there may be conditions not being met by simply doing the restore the way I'm planning to do it.
Also, are there any tests or checks built into SQL which I can use to check table integrity on the target ARCHIVE table after the restore?
i want to be alerted when any of my databases is more the xxxGB.
i know one method to do that and it is with the alerts in the SQL agent Performance condition ,but with this alert i needs to created alert monitor for every DB.
I have two int fields in my database, CEOAnnualBonus and CEOBonus, and I want to return the value of whichever one has the larger value as CEOBonusCombined. I thought using COALESCE would do the trick like below but there are many cases where either CEOAnnualBonus or CEOBonus have a zero value instead of NULL and it doesn't work.
SELECT COALESCE(CEOAnnualBonus, CEOBonus) AS CEOBonusCombined FROM tbenchmarktemp WHERE Ticker='F'
I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.
I have written code to combine, delete redundant data in my system. The table structure remains the same, except I changed some INTs to TINYINTs.
When I do sp_spaceused, it tells me that number of rows is smaller(which is correct), but the datasize, and index_size is significantly larger AFTER the deletions.
I tried using shrink, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
When I right-click the database, and choose PROPERTIES, it also confirms that the database got significantly larger.
I am confused about how deleting data and changing to TINYINTs could make my database bigger. What would cause this?
Here is my situation... I have 2 fairly large databases. Full backups are 83gb & 63gb. I am in the process of moving these database to a new data center. I've taken full backups of these databases and shipped them to the new center. I have been taking transaction log backups (larger db every 24 hrs smaller db every 15 min ... from log shipping).
I want to restore these databases in the new data center. I've gone ahead and restored the dbs in the new location.
Question final cutover.. can I just apply the transaction logs to the databases on final cut-over or do I have to restore the database backup first then apply the transaction logs?
Is there an other way to do this that I'm missing?
I have replication setup between our main site and a remote one, and have recently noticed that the database at the remote site's .MDF file is about 3 times as large as the main site's. This doesn't seem to make sense since essentially all of our data is replicated between the two servers. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what is safe to do to shrink the remote file?
Hi,We have troubles when we try to use the 'dbuse' calls with databaseslarger than 28 characters, looks like the dbuse truncates the nameafter it.Any ideas ???
We have been trying for a while to use Power BI tools (Power Query, Power BI Designer (Desktop) and Power BI Designer (Cloud) in line with larger data sources ( 2-7m records in fact table). Unfortunately up to now with unsatisfactory results. It seems that these tools are just not designed to handle this kind of data volumes?
To my understanding it seems that the approach with PowerBI components is to always try to create a local (or cloud based) cache that only has a limited capacity. 2m+ records already seem to be exceeding this limit. So as opposed to firing off a query on demand (for example only based on distinct filter options as opposed to entire fact set) only the intermediary cache of the model can be used.
Our initial focus was to use a normalized table in SQL Server with around 4m records. First problem is that Power Query/Power BI Designer fails to provide a complete list of the distinct filter items:
This I can understand in some way as doing a distinct on a large data set like that is not trivial. As a workaround I could imagine to setup a star scheme dimension table with the distinct "dimension members". I.e. that filters are driven by this table which has only a few thousand rows. The filters there are then applied to the fact table. I haven't found a way to do this effectively with Power Query.
Another option that we have tried was using the cloud based Power BI service in conjunction with a SQL Cloud Service with the same data set. That unfortunately didn't work. The setup of the source works fine but as soon as we try to start a query by dragging a value field on the dashboard errors occur:
I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.
When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????
Am I missing some setting somewhere?
Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........
I have an existing Access database that I need to transfer over to a more powerful back-end due to the need for larger size capacity. We need to be able to have a backend that can exist up to just about any size due to us scanning in documents by ODBC. With Access I know I was limited to about 4gb size and when split onto my current SQL server I have heard I will be stuck at 10gb? If so can you recommend a better backend, but my question is about the front end. I hear Windows WPF can be linked into SQL server but does this limit the size as well?
I created a package getting data from files and database sources, doing some transformations, retrieving dimension id's and then inserting it into a fact table.
Running this package with a limited amount of data (about a couple of 100.000 records) does not result in any errors and everything goes fine.
Now running the same package (still in debug mode) with more data (about 2.000.000 rows) doesn't result in any errors as well, but it just stops running. In fact, it doesn't really stop, but it doesn't continue as well. If I've only been waiting for some minutes or hours, I could think it's still processing, but I waited for about a day and it still is 'processing' the same step.
Any ideas on how to dig further into this in order to find the problem? Or is this a known problem?
Books Online gives a way to send a message larger than the VARCHAR max of 8000 chars, but the @query argument to xp_sendmail is a simple text string and my data is much more complex, and formatted. Also BOL shows an example using a temporary text file, but it is not clear precisely how you write your insert statements. I tried the following, which writes out all the data and sends it ok except, after each row, there is about a page of blank spaces. What is wrong with my syntax?

I have a SQL server with multiple instances on it and would like to move one of them to a drive with more storage.
I have SQL 2010 on a server with 2 partitions.
The database is located on the C: drive (original build) but the drive isn't partitioned to handle a db of the size that this one will grow to. I would like to move the full DB instance to another partition.
We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
i have restored site using stsadm, site get successfully restored. all user of the site able to access the site but the unable to access from same machine on which it is restored. i got the error The file exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070050)
I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...
hi. I am very new to databases. At the moment I have one big database that has column titles such as author, book title, rating, isbn, publisher, publish date, copyright date, graphical image review, availability, genre. I want to break this large table down into say four smaller relational tables. Partly because it is so large and partly to make it easier to bind the data to the web site. I also want to keep the large table. How can i do this? I use sql server management express. The database is on my hosts database. I also use VWD 2005 express edition.
I am wondering if anyone can help me/ Currently I have created an ASP.NET webform. Usingt the VS.NET C# IDE I have put a SQL connection and DataAdapter on the webform. I have then created a dataset which should hold the contents of a table on a SQL server db.
However when i run the page which just tries to fill the dataset i get the error below. I am running the page via IIS on WinXP Pro SP1 system and SQL Server is located on a Win2003 Svr.
Can anyone help?
Thanks & Regards,
Alan

I have two assets: a URL that points to an XML file, and a stored procedure that can accept this file as a text variable and store it in a SQL 2005 table. create procedure [dbo].[insertObjects] @availabilityXml text as DECLARE @xmlHndAdd INT EXEC sp_xml_prepareDocument @xmlHndAdd OUTPUT, @availabilityXml TRUNCATE TABLE Objects INSERT Objects SELECT * FROM OPENXML(@xmlHndAdd, '//NewDataSet/Table1', 2) WITH Objects
Now, I need to find a solution to combine the URL with the proc. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can pass my URL as a text variable to the procedure? SSIS, vb-script, etc. are welcome!
