Programmatically Determine IIS Log Directory
Jun 1, 2007
I wrote a custom IIS log reader windows service that reads and parses log data and periodically uploads it to a SQL server table which I run my reports from later. Currently I read the file by giving the absolute physical path name for the log directory followed by the log file name I anticipate depending on date/time stamps.
My question is: Is there a programmatic way to get the directory path which is configured in IIS to store the IIS log files to? We use non default location e.g. D:DATALOGSIISW3SVC1 or something similar, which might change from server to server. Also, I am not worried about the individual log file names but the directory. I would prefer a C# code example.
Any help is appreciated!

Great Monday Morning to one and all,
Setup: SQL7 w/SP4 running on W2K Pro
Table in Question:
I have a system that processes inserts that originate from automatic data collection subsystems on manufacuturing cells. The system processes about 2500 records a day. The system is isolated with no ready support or attention. My goal is to automate any and every reasonable admin task. My present activity centers on re-indexing the main table (receives the data from the inserts, supplies the data for web based reporting).
The table - tb_production_log - receives inserts that are time stamped and bear a Machine_id. The table has a clustered index built on the Machine_id (int) and Date_time (time of data's acquisition). The table only receives Inserts, the records are never Updated. No inserts are out of time sequence (no older records ever have to be 'wedged' in amongst existing records). Ulitmately, the table is tested daily for records with age > 365 days. Such records are Deleted.
For the past week, I have been running a monitoring stored procedure on my test box to track the fragmentation of the tb_production_log table. It's based on DBCC SHOWCONTIG with some extra tests. After capturing the SHOWCONTIG data, the sp runs a test query against the table to emulate a typical User report. I track the time this query takes. The query covers records over the last 7 days. (approx. 17,500 records involved). In addition, I track the time it takes Inserts to run. Inserts are done in batches from an external app. I get a RecordsPerSecond data point for each batch.

I'm creating ssrs reports via the web service render method & would like to be able to determine when a report has no data.
Currently what I'm doing is rendering the report twice - once as a pdf (the format that the report needs to be in) and once as a csv. I then check the csv for a specific string placed in the norows property of the report table.
Is there a better way of doing this? It seems to me that this would have been a good candidate to include in the warnings array.
Between this issue & the hacks required to get data into the header I'm thinking that I should maybe reconsider some other reporting options...
Thanks.

All, if I were to write an app that has one task, determine whether ornot an SQL Instance is running, what would be the easist method forthis? I personally think that a query against the masterdb would dothe trick. I would appreciate any feedback you can provide.L

Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

I am trying to determine the next available order id using the method below. It works provided the table has a record in it. If it doesn't I get the error "Input string was not in a correct format." I am certain that it is because the query is returning a value of NULL. How can get around that or check for the NULL value?' Establish data connection...Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connectionstring"))'Determine order id number...Dim order_id As IntegerDim strSQL As StringstrSQL = "Select MAX(order_id) from mkt_order"Dim sqlCmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, sqlConn)Dim sqlDA As New SqlDataAdapter(sqlCmd)Dim sqlDS As New DataSetsqlDA.Fill(sqlDS, "item")If sqlDS.Tables(0).Rows.Count <> 0 Thenorder_id = Convert.ToInt32(sqlDS.Tables(0).Rows(0)(0).ToString()) + 1Elseorder_id = 1End If

Good day,
We have a web application (ASP) running on SQL Server 7.0.
Recently, the users are getting quite a lot of timeouts on
the database:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired
The database is not supposed to be doing too much work, so I can't
understand why these timeouts are occuring. How can I determine
the cause of the timeouts?
The cause could probably anything from a trigger that's taking
too long, a query that's taking too long, or simply bad database design.
I've looked at SQL Server's Profiler, but could not yet use it
successfully to give me any hints of what could cause the timeouts.
Any ideas of how I can use Profiler, Performance Monitor, or any other
tool(s) to see what is happening in the background in the database,
i.e. how much processing a trigger is using, etc.
Thanks very much!

I'm new to full text catalogs and we have a vendor who's code utilizes them. The database server is SQL 2005 and I am noticing the following message in the SQL log every minute.
Changing the status to MERGE for full-text catalog "ResearchCatalog" (5) in database "DBA_Test" (11). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
A SQL job is running the following command every minute.
exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'ResearchCatalog', 'start_incremental'
What is the typical frequency for running an incremental?
Can the messages be suppressed?
Thanks, Dave

I've been doing a lot of reading on this and my head is starting tohurt! It seems to be quite a feat to work out how much memory isactually being used by our server.I'm running W2K advanced server with SQL 2000 EE, 8GB of RAM, a min of4GB and a max of 6GB is assigned to SQL server.I'm trying to work out whether we've assigned enough or toomuch/little memory to SQL server. My first thought was to let SQLdymanically manage its own memory and see how much it uses, of coursewhen AWE (/3GB /PAE) is enabled it will just use all that isavailable.In perfmon "target server memory" = 6.1GB, "total server memory" =6.1GB, "total pages" = 768000 ( x 8KB = 6.1GB).My second thought was to use "total pages" - the average "free pages"= average mem used, therefore giving me the average amount of memoryused by SQL. I found out that SQL uses a min of 4GB (the min weassigned) and the max of all the memory, 6GB.Is there an easier way of finding out how much memory is actually usedin this situation or is going by the above average the best way?What i'm unsure about is will SQL just use all memory assigned to ituntil it has the whole DB in memory? 20GB including indexes etc....Any help would be greatly apprechiated.

I need to determine when (maybe) and if (definitely) a SQL Agent job will run again. I need to maintain a table of the next pending execution for each job. I need to be able to update this table from within a SQL Agent job, but preferably from within an executing SSIS package in the job. Is this possible and if so, any suggestions on how?

Hi all... This is the definition on the M/S site:
"Deterministic functions always return the same result any time they are called with a specific set of input values and given the same state of the database. Nondeterministic functions may return different results each time they are called with a specific set of input values even if the database state that they access remains the same."
Good... straight forward, right? Ok.... try entering thses command seperately:
Create Table Readings (ReadingDate DateTime Not Null);
Create Function [dbo].[funct_SameDate](@datReadingDate Datetime)
Returns DateTime
As
Begin
return @datReadingDate;
End
Alter table Readings add
[TempColumn] as (dbo.[funct_SameDate](ReadingDate)) PERSISTED NOT NULL;
Error on last command returns:
Computed column 'TempColumn' in table 'Readings' cannot be persisted because the column is non-deterministic.
Can someone please explain this to me? The same value is always being returned.
This does work:
Create Table Readings (ReadingDate DateTime Not Null);
Alter table Readings add [TempColumn] as (ReadingDate) PERSISTED NOT NULL;
I obviously want to do more things inside the function, but I can't get by the first step.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a report that has a table with detail grouping. This table shows the sales by day for each product. The users only want to see the date field for the first item in the group. After that, they do not want to display this field (to reduce the data on the report). However, when the data wraps to a second page, they want the date to appear on the first row of the new page.
Is there any way to determine if a row is the first row on a page?
I tried using the RowCount, but that continues from the previous page.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
David.

I'm working on a sproc that determines the next order id for a specified customer. The table has
custid int,
ordernum varchar(10)
Data is:
1000, 1000-001
1000, 1000-002
1001, 1001-001
1000, 1000-003
I need to know the next ordernum for the specified custid. For example, GetNextOrderNum(1000) should return 1000-004. GetNextOrderNum(1002) should return 1002-001 (since there aren't any orders yet).
I honestly don't know where to begin.

What is the most reliable way to determine the last LSN of a database? I've looked in sys.database_files to no avail. I've also looked in msdb.dbo.backupset which is accurate but only based on backups already performed not the current state of the database.

I need to programmatically backup a database in SQL Server Express. I actually also need to programmatically restore it from a backup file. How can I do this programmatically? I know how to do simple ADO commands for simple db operations, but backup and restore sound like "meta" commands to me, and I don't know where to begin from.

I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?

Ok. So I have this ASP.NET page and I've programmatically taken a report from the report server and rendered it in PDF. Now I would like to take this a step further and save the report as a pdf document on the local machine.
So at this point I have a byte array representing the document, now how would I save this as a pdf on the local machine? I'm unaware of an ASP Response method to allow this and I'm unaware of a SSRS ReportingService method, but as I said I'm unaware...
Any ideas, thoughts, resources are all welcome.

Can you tell which service pack I am running based on the results of my query?

Problem: I can add 4 items to a SQL 7.0 database but I need to redirect the user if all 4 items exist in the same Record elsewhere in the Database.
Clearly I need some kind of statement like "if category1 = var1 AND category2 = var 2 AND..." but don't know where to put it.
Code:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblUserQuarter"
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn,adOpenStatic , adLockOptimistic
'Insert choices from report.asp into tblUserQuarter
objRS.AddNew
objRS("cboFY") = Request.Form("cboFY")
objRS("Quarter") = Request.Form("Quarter")
objRS("ID") = Request.Form("ID")
objRS("Report") = Request.Form("Report")
objRS.Update
objRS.Close
Set objRS = Nothing
objConn.Close
set objConn = Nothing

Hi,
I'm trying to run a script to add an index to a table. The index might already exist so I want to drop it 1st if it does.
Is there an equivalent to the following that I use for tables for indexes?
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.tblFred') and sysstat & 0xf = 3)
drop table dbo.tblFred
