Questions On LogFiles: SQL Express 2005

Jul 8, 2007

Note: Please refer to my previous message to see the current VS2005 C# code I am using to create my database.



This database will be used for short term operations. In otherwords, a user will create the database, generate a lot of data that will be created using:

SqlBulkCopy bcp;

Then, there will be 'activity'... updates, queries, deletes, etc for a few days and then the user will at a minimum remove all of the data and at some future point in time, will recreate the data and do the process all over.



In otherwords, I am not concerned about backups or transaction logging or recovery or any of these 'normal' issues of using a SQL database.



That said, how do I use SMO to keep the LDF limited in size and as small as possible (assuming I can't turn of the tranaction log to begin with).



2nd question is...I read soething about being able to log ONLY the exection of a Bulk Copy operation. How do I specify that? This is my SQLBulkCopy code.



SqlBulkCopy bcp;

SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand();

sqlCmd.Connection = m_dbFiles.conMain;

bcp = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlCmd.Connection);

bcp.DestinationTableName = "tblMyTable";

bcp.WriteToServer(datatable);

SQL Server Express 2005 Questions And Issues...

Nov 14, 2007



So I am fairly new to Express and I have installed it on my development machine; much tio my chagrin it is quite difficult to import data into SQLEXPRESS. I have a 'sa' account setup and I have created a new database and table within that database, however, when I try to import data into that table by setting up a link server to excel I am having some major issues!

I ran this code first to create the linked server...


DECLARE @RC int

DECLARE @server nvarchar(128)

DECLARE @srvproduct nvarchar(128)

DECLARE @provider nvarchar(128)

DECLARE @datasrc nvarchar(4000)

DECLARE @location nvarchar(4000)

DECLARE @provstr nvarchar(4000)

DECLARE @catalog nvarchar(128)

-- Set parameter values

SET @server = 'XLTEST_SP'

SET @srvproduct = 'Excel'

SET @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'

SET @datasrc = 'c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls'

SET @provstr = 'Excel 11.0'

EXEC @RC = [master].[dbo].[sp_addlinkedserver] @server, @srvproduct, @provider, @datasrc, @location, @provstr, @catalog


Next I try to run any of the statement below and I get the errors pasted below...


SELECT * FROM Anchor_Hocking...Sheet1$


EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'Anchor_Hocking'


SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'Data Source=c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Sheet1$




OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".

Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" reported an error. Authentication failed.

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking".


The file is not open. I have granted full access rights to all users....I am really frustrated!

Also, how can I get SSIS on this machine with SQLEXPRESS?

SQL Express On Pc / Svr Questions

Apr 3, 2006

I have a few questions about SQL express.

Will SQL express make my workstation (regular PC on network) act as a server? Or does it just allow VB express / Web Developer Express to write code that will work on an actual My SQL server?

The goal is to make a simple DB that will then be used on a website on a live server which has My SQL on it. I don't need SQL express on that server also do I? MY knowledge about SQL is next to null.

SQL Express Instal Questions

Sep 6, 2007

SQL Express 2005 Install


Question 1) If you leave the hide advance options checked, which of these 3 options does it choose on the Service Account Screen (I believe it is Network Service).

Local Service

Network Service

Local System



Question 2) If you uncheck the hide advance opitions, so you can access the Service Account Screen, which is the better option, local service or local system for a stand alone computer the the database is only accessed by a program runnin gon that computer


Question 3) I have installed SQL Express 2005 on 3 machines, two of them gave me a default instance of SQLExpress, the third of MSSQLExpress. We need the same instance name on all machines, or we would have to change the connection string on the program each time.

Why is the 3rd machine doing that?


Thanks,

Bob

A Couple Of SQL Server Express Questions

Apr 11, 2006

Hello - I'm about to rebuild my website on a nice new windows 2k3 server. I was previously using SQL server 7 but I'd like to use the 2005 edition.
Here's my first question - is the Express edition 2005 good enough to use on my live web server? Are there limits on the amount of connections at any one time?
My second question is this - what's the best way to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express?
At the moment I would use something like:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=myDB
And then I would set up a COMPUTERNAMEASPNET account under SQL Server 2005 Express.
Is that an ok way to connect??
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Will SQL Express Be Shipped In Vista If So What Versions And Other Questions.

Nov 11, 2006

1. The title of this post says it all. My app will have a very small footprint to down load. I don't want to user to have to download 50 + MB just to try my little $15 app:-) So

QUESTION 1 - Will SQL Express be in the Vista bits? If so which versions?

2. Once SQLExpress is installed by whatever means, are there rules about how the instance is used? I have no problems playing well with others so I would be more than happy to create my DB in .SQLExpress.

QUESTION 2 - Are there any rules governing who can play in the Express instance? How should dtabases should be named to avoid collisions with the other kids?

3. I'd love to be able to work in in ClickOnce / user never has to have admin password environment.

QUESTION 3 - Besides UAC are there any constraints on writing to a properly installed Express instance that would get in the way of a pure user application from using the basic instance.

4. Right now - because I can't read directions and still don't understand the smoke and mirrors in VS 2005 when it comes to dealing with databases - I have DDL in my program that allows me to create my database from scratch. Not sure that this is the right way to go.

QUESTION 4. What is the best way for an user software to create its database in an instance of SQL Express.

5. SQL Express is yet another thingie that will run in the background that the typical user won't understand and wont' give a hoot about.

QUESTION 5. Can I / should I programmatically worry about whether the service is up and running? If so how do I launch it.

I know this is a lot for a single post, but it all sort of hangs together.

Regard,

Al Christoph

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Giant Logfiles (LDF) During Loading Data Into Memory Optimized Table

Aug 26, 2013

I try to load data into a memOpt table (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ...). The source table has a size about 1 Gb and 13 Mio Rows. During this load the LDF File grows to size of 350 GB (until the space if the disk is run out of space). The Server has about 110 GB Memory for the SQL Server reserved. The tempdB doesn't grow. The Bucket Size in the create statement has a size of 262144. The Hash key as 4 fields`(2 fields have the datatype int,1 has smallint, 1 has varchar(200). ) The disk for the datafiles has still space for the datafiles (incl. the hekaton files).

How can I reduce the size of the ldf files during the load of the data ?

Edited Data Won't Propagate Back To The Database (VB 2005 Express && SQL Server 2005 Express)

Dec 11, 2006



Hi,

I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.

When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the

Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)

I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.

I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.

Thanks,
Ieyasu

This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there. Any suggestions?

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?

Aug 8, 2006

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.

How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?

Currently, if I run this query:

SELECT @@version

I get the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.


Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

SQL 2005 Mirroring Questions

Apr 25, 2007

Hi guys,
 I have read many articles on the matter and I have probably used up all my printer's ink in doing so,  however, some questions still remain.
1) What happens if I have to reboot the mirror.. security update, etc.? Obviously the session is broken during reboot, but would I have to do another backup of the principal and resync everything?
2) I know it is not best practice but at this point I have no choice, however, I wanted to get your guys feedback on having two instances of SQL2005 on my development box. One for the mirroring of the production and the second for development. The two instances would live on their own drive... not partitioned and have adequate memory and space.
What would I have to look forward with this?
3) Lastly, I am still uncertain if mirroring is approved for production. Is it?
 
Thanks for your help.

SQL Server 2005 Questions

Aug 21, 2007

Hello,

We are currently running a corporate client with Windows 2000 and .Net 1.1. We are running a number of SQL Server 2000 applications and are now thinking of upgrading to SQL Server 2005 as part of a data consolidation exercise. I am concerned on a number of points:

Can I connect to SQL Server 2005 using old ADO connectors? We have about 40 Excel VBA solutions, and we dont want to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 if we will be unable to connect to the data source. We cannot upgrade any new versions of MDAC or upgrade the .NET framework so this is a concern.

Do we need .NET 2.0 or Visual Studio 2005 to connect and work with SQL Server 2005? If so, this will be a problem as we cannot upgrade any client beyond .NET 1.1, and only have VS 2003 as a scripted application we can install for any development.

Has anyone have any experience of the KPI capabilities of SQL 2005? We are bordering on committing to a Business Objects BI platform, and having worked with BO Dashboard Manager and Performance Manager for 4 months (it was horrible), I am not relishing the prospect and would like to propose SQL 2005 as an alternative.

Many, many thanks

Indy

SQL 2005 Encryption Questions

Apr 26, 2006

Hello,I have been researching the use of symmetic and asymmetic encryption inSQL 2005 and I am pretty excited to give it a try. Through examples, Ican encrypt the data, but I cant figure out what to do next...What I want:1. our social security field to be encrypted so that only the person(s)that need it can decrypt it.2. prevent DBA's from decrypting the data themselfs3. Simple way to encrypt the data on the table (maybe a trigger?)I thought I would use asymmetric keys, this way I can embed the publickey into my data warehouse process to encrypt the data.I thought I would prompt the user for the private key when the reportruns, that way I wont store the key on the server.This would be a place to start.Someone in the office said that we can store the keys in Activedirectory, so maybe I could make this seemless to the user running thereport?I've found a lot of great articles that got me started, but I amneeding the next stepAny Ideas would be apprecitated!TIARoblinks to articles I have found handy:http://www.databasejournal.com/feat...int.php/3483931http://www.devx.com/dbzone/Article/29232/0/page/3http://www.sqlservercentral.com/col...rintversion.asp

Several 2005 Security Questions

May 28, 2008

I am an Oracle DBA who inherited SQL Server administration. I have been to some 2005 training and I've been supporting several DB's for a while now but I still have some nagging security questions and would appreciate some help.

1) I needed to grant execute on a specific procedure but when I drilled down, I found that it already had execute in the EFFECTIVE PERMISSIONS. I would like to know how to tell where it got this permission from. I did some digging and found that execute appears to have been granted to the schema itself. I didn't know you could do that. Would this result in the effective permission that I observed?

2) I am trying to audit the permissions on existing principles. In Management Studio I drilled down and found permissions under Security and under Server Properties. There are also more permissions under Database Properties and Security and still more assigned at the specific object level. Where can I go or what can I query to see ALL the permissions a principle has been granted across the entire server?

3) If I grant a principle CONTROL to a schema does that also automatically confer DDL rights to said schema or would additional privs be required to perform DDL?

Thanks in advance,
Roger Westbrook

SQL 2005 Install Questions - CD Has Different Options Then DVD

Oct 13, 2006

I printed out several pages of documentation regarding the install of 2005. When I tried performing the installation from CD I double-click splash.hta, as indicated in "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 (Setup)". Under Install I see two options:

Server components, tools, Books Online, and samples
Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard

The documentation indicates I should be clicking on "Run the SQL Server Installation Wizard", which is not an option. If I select "Run the SQL Native Client..." it appears to be only installing the client and does not follow the remainder of the instructions. I can't find any information on Microsoft's site on how to perform an install from CD.

I'm guessing I should be using the DVD, but has anyone else noticed the "How to" documentation is a little off and have you found any other documentation that is more accurate?

Thanks, Dave

A Few Questions On Locking In Sql Server 2005

Jan 29, 2008

Hi pardon my ignorance but I wonder if someone could answer a few questions for me.

I am writing a program which will be used by perhaps upto 100 users at a time. The program sits on any number of PCs and loads user specific data to a given PC according to who has logged on to windows on that PC.

A number of data items loaded from the user table have to be unique as they are usernames for other systems that my program simplifies access to.

So when a user logs on to my program for the first time a row is created for them in the user table (indexed by a GUID and their unique network name). The other unique fields are left blank and the user is given an opportunity to fill these details in.

Before writing these details to the user's row in the 'users table' the program loads the whole user table down and checks that these items are unique before committing them to that user's row in the table.

The problem of course is that if between the program downloading the user table into a local datatable, checking the values are unique and then actually writing them someone else writes the same data into their row then 2 users end up with the same data - which shouldn't be allowed. i.e. 2 users can't have the same user name for the other software.

How can I solve this problem with locking? Once the user table is downloaded and in a locel datatable presumably the table is no longer locked so another user could write data to the table.

I acutally think this is going to be a pretty rare occourance but I still want to try to cover all eventualities.

I suspect the problem is the way my program is going about the checking.

Should I use an SQL insert statement like??

If exists(SELECT username from users where username=@username)
BEGIN
RAISEERROR("Username already exists")
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT etc

If so I guess this will simplify my code. Is this the correct thing to do? And then just trap the errors that arise if a duplicate does arise?

Also some more general questions.

1)I presume 2 users simultaneously looking up data from 2 different rows in a table doesn't lock the table so one search fails? I use the code below having set up a command to run a stored procedure to search for a user by their network name.

Dim lclRowRet As SqlDataReader

lclRowRet = LoadUserCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleRow)

lclRowRet.Read()

2) I presume writing data to my user table a row at a time will also not cause a lock. I create a command object with all the row values in and then do a command.executenonquery()

As a rule I close all my connections as soon as I'm done with them.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Collation Questions SQL Server 2005 SP2

Oct 10, 2007

A few collation questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, which I'll call SQLS.The default collation for SQLS is apparently SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.I wish to use a variation of this, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AIcollation, but there is no such collation returned fromfn_helpcollations(). Also, if I try to use this collation ina CREATE DATABASE stmt, SQLS yells about it.I see that there is a Latin1_General_CS_AI. What effects are therein using this collation? The SQL_* collations are SQL collations,while non-SQL_* collations are Windows collations, yes? SQLS runsonly on Windows, so am I safe in using Latin1_General_CS_AI? Whatdoes the CP1 in the SQL collation signify? Am I asking for trouble?------------------------------------Assuming that I set Latin1_General_CS_AI (or any other case-sensitivecollation) at the database level, I believe my DDL/DML for that databasealso becomes case-sensitive. How can I specify that I want ONLY my dataaccess to be case-sensitive, and not my DDL/DML? I don't want to haveto remember to type "select * from MyCamelCase" when "mycamelcase"should work.Any help appreciated.A new SQLS DBA..aj

2005 Memory Management Questions

Sep 17, 2007

I've read and noticed SQL 2005 handles memory differently then 2000. In 2000 if I told a server it had 6GB to use, it allocated the memory. In 2005 I have one 32-bit server with 6GB of memory and one 64-bit server with 32 GB. If Target Server Memory is the amount of memory SQL Server would like to have, how does that correspond to Maximum Server Memory? Also, how is Target Server Memory determined?

32-bit
Physical Memory = 8GB
Target Server Memory = 6GB (Willing to consume)
Total Server Memory = 690MB (Currently consuming)
Minimum Server Memory = 2GB
Maximum Server Memory = 6GB

For the 32-bit server the Target Server Memory matches Maximum Server Memory

64-bit
Physical Memory = 32GB
Target Server Memory = 28GB (Willing to consume)
Total Server Memory = 397MB (Currently consuming)
Minimum Server Memory = 4GB
Maximum Server Memory = 30GB

For the 64-bit server the Target Server Memory is less then the Maximum Server Memory

Lock Pages in Memory is set for the service account. Neither server above has yet to be released to production and only the 32-bit server has any users. In 2000 when SQL Server started I could count on it using about 1.72GB of memory immediately. Seeing the servers above consume only only 690MB and 397MB has me concerned. Is this just a case of SQL Server 2005 handling memory better then 2000?

Thanks, Dave

Why Can't I Get SQL Express 2005 And VB Studio Express 2005/2008to Work Together?

Feb 22, 2008



This is what I have done.

1. Installed VB.NET IDE 2008 and SQL Server Compact 2005. IDE requires upgrade of database to 3.0 version which I allowed it to do. After the database was upgraded, I did an amount of coding work in the IDE and then tried to go back to do more database work in SQL. However the database then could not be opened in SQL Server Compact 2005. An error said that because it had been upgraded, it could not be read. It was requiring me to run 'upgrade.exe'. I had no idea what this meant and could find no upgrade available online.
2. Removed VB.NET IDE 2008 and installed 2005 instead. However, the file extension on the SQL Server Compact database is .sdf, but the IDE is requiring a .mdf extension. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to save or to have the desired extension, but I cannot.

Questions:

1. Do SQL Express 2005 and VB Studio Express 2008 work together?
2. If so, how?

It seems as though application each requires a different version of the database. If the database is usable in one, it is not usable in another.

Thanks for the help.

Julie
