Hey, i have an installer that places ms sql express onto a machine. thats is fine. i want to create a post setup application that runs after ms sql server is installed. what for example i want to do is be able to create a user and have the DB allow remote connections. i can provide instructions for a 'peon' to make the required post setup changes but i want to see if i can cover that with an application. thanks

Hi Everyone
I have a huge problem after I noticed that SQL Server Agent has been removed
and need your advice about how to program replication between SQL Server Express and SQL Server 2005
So far I have encountered the following problems
SNAPSHOT
1. When I created my snapshot Irealized it wasnt running. I then read from the documentation that i had to resort to the Windows Synchronization Manager as there was no SQL Server AGENT within SQL Server Express to accomplish this function
I did this and it worked but wouldlike to control this programmatically as well
REPLICATION
2. Now I have a standalone SQL Server Express which is a subsciber to the SQL Server 2005 Database
How can I force the merge replication programmatically ie Vb.NET
Your kind advice is appreciated
Regards
Touraj

This is Part 1 (The length of input exceeds 50000 characters). Part 2 will be posted in this site shortly.
What I want to do is remove part of a result from a query. I am selecting the srvname from sysservers as follows.
SELECT srvname from sysservers
Where srvid ='0'
When the name is returned some times it might be like servernameinstance. What I need to do is cut off the and everything after that so that my result is just servername. I am then using this result in a cursor to go after server shares. The length of the servername varies. Any suggestions.
Hello:
I'm scheduling DTS packages to run as a job but when I do that, the job siply does not works, someone tolds me that it's a problem with the SQL and Windows NT authentication and security and he gaves me this URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q269074.
but it not so clear to me, i'm working with SQL Server 200 and Windows Server 2000.
What can I do?

Would it be possable to help me?
Thanks so much!
Hi,
Currently I am using the BCP functionality to import/export tables between different SQL Server 2005 databases. The process is working ok, but it creates alot of manual work, when 70 or more tables need to be transferred, every week. I am new to RMO development and am interested if the following may be possible.
- I would like to build an interface in VB.net allowing users to select a source database, and select the tables that need to be transferred from the Source DB, to the Destination DB.
-Put in place RMO funtionality to replicate the source database tables into flat files.
-Within the Vb.net app transfer the created flat files into the destination database.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this, or if there may be a better approach at replacing the BCP functionality.
Thanks,

Hi!I want some tutorials on how to actually program database applications. Everything seems so bound with the data controls provided by Visual Studio and coming from PHP I don't like to not have full control over my applications. So where can I learn about creating my own database applications without using repeater, gridview or formview?Thank you in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to create a database with one table and its column names.
I got this script from the query analyzer templates as a database basic template:

DROP DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db>
GO
CREATE DATABASE <database_name, sysname, test_db>

can someone give me guidance please...
I have a table containing almost 700000 records. The table contains the following fields:
table_id, member#, car_eff_dt, car_term_dt, mbr_occur.
A member can occur more than one time and his effective date/termination date are sorted sequentially.
An example would look like this:
table_id member# car_eff_dt car_term_dt mbr_occur
1 12345678901 01/01/1995 12/31/1995 null
2 12345678901 01/01/1996 12/31/1996 null

5 10987654321 04/01/2000 12/31/9999 null
Using Transact-SQL, is it possible to generate a unique number for each occurance of a particular member#?
table_id member# car_eff_dt car_term_dt mbr_occur
1 12345678901 01/01/1995 12/31/1995 1
2 12345678901 01/01/1996 12/31/1996 2

Currently, I am running the code in an Access/VBA module through an ODBC connection, but I would like to be able to run all my code directly on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
Just curious,
What do all of you use to create and edit stored procedures? I am looking for a better way to code than to use the default window supplied with Enterprise Manager.
Do most of you use the Query Analyzer? Are there third party products you like using better?
Thanks for the info..

I am looking into a production geared software called MassGroup. (www.massgroup.com) It says that its FactoryServer builds are on a standardized SQL framework and web architecture for data collection, work order requests, reporting and asset management. My questions are:
1. Is SQL its own programming language? If not what is it?
Answer: After going thru several pages and reading the fine print I discovered they use VB, ASP, COM technology, and Crystal Reports.
2. How powerful do you think this would be at gathering data and does it have the capability of creating a number sequence automatically? (example: 0001; 0002; 0003...)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!!!!!
hi to all,
What is the best language or compiler used in web database programming. Any have an idea pls help me.
Thankss.
I have just started in Sql 6 months ago. I was an IT major in graduate school and am now in my late 30's (career change). It took me 4 years to finally get what I thought was my dream job. Well, I was promised training which I have yet to receive and bascially went from doing basic queries that I did in class in college to doing advance Sql - stored procs, etc. I completely hate it. I do not know if it is from the lack of training or if it just not for me. I am completely bored out of mind. I am also tired of struggling everyday to complete assignments. The first 2 assignments I received were way out of my league. I was told this by a project mgr who did a similiar assignment and they have years of sql experience and it took her 3 months with assistance to complete it. I have been with the company for almost 6 years. I am not sure if I should just complete my current assignments and ask if they can reassign me to a different IT department, look for a new job or just continue to struggle and pull my hair out. Please give me some feedback as to how you would handle this situation.

I currently have a table with the fields:
- StudentID as an Identity and is the Primary Key field (PK)
- FName as varchar(15)
- LName as varchar(20)
When I use a combo box, I place the information in it as follows:
- LName, FName/StudentID Ex: Rogers, James/4
In order to find our the student I want, I parse the above field for the StudentID.
Question:
How can I display the student's name only and still get to their StudentID?
Would I have to use an array holding/pointing to the StudentID? Or What?

Hi..
I am working on sql server integration services..New to this topic...I want to transfer data from flat file to sql database by doing it programatically.Creating source,destination and transform adapters
my basic question is should the source,transform and destination adapter be bulid for each file i am trying to transfer.
What is the advantage of this doing it this way.
Would anyone let me know about this..
Thanks
Not sure if this is right place to ask this. I have a table where I want a single field to show up in separate columns. (wow its hard to describe what I want. Here is an example
Store_Group_Product_Tbl
store, group id, product
Let's say we have these records:
Store 1 - group 1 - hats
Store 1 - group 1 - clothes
Store 1 - group 1 - shoes
Store 1 - group 2 - drink
Store 1 - group 2 - food
I want my select statement to return:
Store 1 - group 1 - hats - clothes - shoes
Store 1 - group 2 - drink - food - NULL
(and in this case I will be selecting on where store = a selected store)
Is there a way to join it back to itself to get the data I want? Or will I have to select everything into an array and then manipulate that array to get everything columned up correctly?

Hi ,
i am using VS.NET 2003 for programming and SQL sever 2005 is my database.
while creating DTS packages,
i am using code as follows
Public Sub Task_Sub4(ByVal goPackage As Object)

Dim oLookup As DTS.Lookup
Dim oCustomTask4 As DTS.DataPumpTask2
oTask = CType(goPackage, DTS.Package).Tasks.New("DTSExecuteSQLTask")
oCustomTask4 = CType(oTask.CustomTask, DTS.DataPumpTask2)
oCustomTask4.Name = "Copy Data from contact_info to [content_shriya].[dbo].contact_info] Task"
oCustomTask4.Description = "Copy Data from contact_info to [content_shriya].[dbo].[contact_info] Task"
oCustomTask4.SourceConnectionID = 3
oCustomTask4.SourceSQLStatement = "select * from [Content_management].[dbo].[contact_info]"

End Sub
But i am geeting error in line
oCustomTask4 = CType(oTask.CustomTask, DTS.DataPumpTask2)
giving error 'System.InvalidCastException'
Additional information: Specified cast is not valid.
i changed it with oCustomTask4 = oTask.CustomTask ,
then also similar error appear.
Please solve my problem, i need to create DTS Packages by using VS.NET 2003 and Database is SQL server 2005.
Thank you
I am working on Sql Server 7.0 with a group of Visual Basic programmers that have made the following request:
1.They want all decimals/integer fields in the database to default to 0(zero).
Is there an way to do this for all fields instead of on an individual basis?
2.They don't want a null returned on any character string field.
What is the best way to take care of these 2 requests? Thanks in advance.

Hi-
Can you give me any help/assistance on the development process involved with migration from MS Access to SQL Server 7.
Specifically, I need my current MS Access data migrated to SQL, and then I need two (2) fairly simple forms developed for data input and searching on the web.
The developers I have been speaking too seem to want to buy their Hawaiian condo from this one project...which seems like A LOT OF $$ for the development of an off-the-shelf product that costs $15,000.
Any leads and/or thoughts would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS.

Hi
Could anyone tell me why i get Error when i execute the following code:
----------------------
declare @a money
set @a=121.23
print @a
Server: Msg 257, Level 16, State 3, Line 5
Implicit conversion from data type money to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
---------------------------------------------
isn't that , money data are like integer data? so why i should use type casting?
By the way is it necessary to use currency symbol when we are working with monetary data or not?
Thank.
Kind Regards.
