Hi, we're trying to read from a table and write back to the same table and are having a lot of trouble with blocking. What could we do to prevent our application from hanging due to blocking of this type?
Is there a way to get the last read/write time of a table?
I want to have a few tables, but only allow them to exist if they have been used in the last 30 days. I want to set up a "purge" job to clear out any tables that have not been used in 30 days.
Any easy way for a batch file or automated process to read from one db and table and what ever entry is missing out of another database + table it writes those missing entries to.
This is a simple table in one db that is filled with usernames, I want to see if there are missing usernames in another db and table and write those entries.
db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew If jdoenew is missing in the 2nd db I will need to write entries like: db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew db1.usr_table.password = tmppassword db1.usr_table.active = 1
INPUT: A table contains 2 columns with data i need. column A=Filename and column B=FileContent
PROCESS: I need to loop through ea record in the table and retrieve columns A and B. Then for ea column i need to write the Content hold in column B into File hold in column A.
I so far found out, that i need a Execute SQL Task in Control Flow querying the table and get columns A and B into 2 variables, plus a 3rd var holding the object. Then the output goes into a Foreach Loop Container. From this point i don't know how to continue. I tried to put a Data Flow Task inside the Foreach Loop, but couldn't find out how i now get the 2 variables to the Data Flow Task and use them to for the file to be written and the content to be placed in the file.
Is there any example similiar to that so i could learn how to start on that?
I'm trying to do Sharepoint DR with Log Shipping and every thing configured except one thing which is switch the WSS_Content (Standby /Read-Only) DB to be ready and Write.
I tried from
GUI or ALTER DATABASE [WSS_Content] SET READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT
I have two database files, one .mdf and one .ndf. The creator of these files has marked them readonly. I want to "attach" these files to a new database, but cannot do so because they are read-only. I get this message:
Server: Msg 3415, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Database 'TestSprintLD2' is read-only or has read-only files and must be made writable before it can be upgraded.
What command(s) are needed to make these files read_write?
I have a query that runs for 10 sec on one database( A) and 5 min on another database(B) even though two database have identical scheam, tables, index and statistics..
I ran a profiler and got the below information CPU READ Write Database A: 92051 711956 8774 Database B: 91812 7621589 315822
A query runs on database has a significant larger read and write.. I don;t understand why this is happening? even though these two database have the same structure?? it has the same execution plan as well..
Hi .. I want to Write in files or read from files for example i have My_File.txt . i need a syntax and i want to call this syntax in my Store procedure and this syntax write forexample " Hello Word " in My_File.txt . and i want another syntax that read from My_File.txt forexample "Word" from My_File.txt . what are those syntaxes do that ??
We currently run sql 2005 server and also sql express in our dev environments. We use sql express as an offline store (smart client). We have a similar/exact schema on the sql 2005 server and also the express.
We use the auto attach feature to connect to the express version of the database. Both the developer machines and the one that is running the sql 2005 server have exactly the same hardware configuration. The only difference may be that the server box is not running the VS.Net environment. The disk space etc is pretty much the same. Actually we run another database server(DB2) on the 2005 server machine.
We have observed that sql express is much slower and queries execute much slower aswell. For example, this may not be a totally scientific way of checking but a long running query on the server took only 2 minutes while on express it took longer than 9 minutes. The schema and data etc are the same.
Is there something we need to look into as far as read write speed/performance goes ?
I am using a Script Component and I have a Read/Write Variable varStatusCase (as assigned in the Custom Properties of my Script Component). I used this inside my script to get a specific value. However, when I ran it I get this error:
The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute.
Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Using SQL Server Express, VWD and .net 2.0 I've figured out how to drop a Table Column Constraint or Default Value/Binding and then Create it again using a stored procedure. What I can't figure out is how to retrieve that column's constraint value and write it to, say a label, in an aspx page, simply for reference. Is it possible? In this case the Data Type of the column is money. I'm using it to perform a calculation to a column with a value that the user inserts into another column. (Column1(user input) minus Column2(with Default Value) = Column3(Difference). I just want to read Column2's Default Value for reference so I know whether to change it or not.
Hi, I was reading that many of these high traffic websites actually have 2 databases, 1 database is used ONLY for reads, while the other is for writes.
How does one go about creating such a setup? How does the database where writes are allowed replicated the data to the read only database server?
Hi,I would like to use database locking mechanism to control access to anexternal resource (like file system).What I need is1. an exclusive (write) lock conflicting with any access to theresource (both for read and write)2. non-exlusive (read) lock conflicting with writes onlyHow this could be done?I'd appreciate any reply.Vadim
Hello Guys, in SSIS I want to get a set of data and do some modifications on it before I insert it into the destinatipn. So far so good. Some of the modifications will include comparisions between two columns and if certain field is NULL then I want to get the value from the other one I was comparing to. When using conditional splits, I only get the rows to be redirected so that I can do whatever next. However, I want like use the variables as a storage so that I can put the value of one of the two columns in this variable which will be actually loaded into the destination finally. Any help? Thanks
I need to create a flat file as word document, may i know how to write text from stored procedure if a file is already exist then the text will append, how to do it ?
I use excel as an interface to write query to retrieve data from a database in network drive. My problem is everyone can open and edit my query. Of course, the univeral database access user name and password will ask but everyone know this. How can I put password to prevent any query modification?
Hello,I'm relatively new to the database world so please forgive me inadvance for my ignorance. I have recently been tasked at my job withfinding a tool that will perform the following tasks: 1) extractschemas from a db, 2) produce a difference report between schemas fromtwo databases, and 3) synchronize two schemas. The purpose is forproduct upgrades during which an existing database schema will need tobe synchronized with a baseline schema.The tool must support the following database vendors (versions givenin parenthesis): Oracle (8i/9i), Sybase (12.x), Informix (9.x), MSS2000, and IBM DB2 (7/8).I have spent the last several days downloading and researching avariety of tools such as Aqua Data Studio, DbVisualizer, DBExplorer,DBDiff, and AdeptSQL. I thought it would be a good idea to post amessage to a few database newsgroups and ask for any recommendationsdatabase developers may have.So if anyone has any recommendations on such a tool or softwarepackage, I would greatly appreciate any information.Thanks!Chad Smith
Any idea to copy a standby/readonly database. We a have a standby/readonly DB from logshipping for hot standby and we would like to make a copy of this standby/readonly DB into a read/write DB in the same server for daily testing. Thanks in advance!
I was wondering if it is possible to read image data from a database in .net compact framework. Since cf does not have image.fromstream(memstream) to work with, I don't know how else to read the image from the database and then place it into a picturebox.
Here is the code I have been trying out:
Dim Img As Image ' Dim conn As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = My Documents est2.sdf")
conn.Open()
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM Dater" Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(sql, conn) Dim reader As SqlCeDataReader = _ cmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
While reader.Read()
TextBox1.Text = reader.Item("name") Dim b(reader.GetBytes(1, 0, Nothing, 0, Integer.MaxValue) - 1) As Byte
reader.GetBytes(1, 0, b, 0, b.Length) Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(b) Dim bmp As New Bitmap(ms) <-Error: Value does not fall within expected range Img = bmp
End While
PictureBox2.Image = Img
I get an error ,Value does not fall within expected range.
Does this mean the image was not save correctly in the database?
Hi,I have a web app, that runs fine, except for one particular section that uses a class called by an event in the code behind. The class resides as a dll in the bin folder. We had no problems during testing, when only one user was running this dll. Problems soon occurred when multiple users tried running it. Here's the error & stack: 06/02/2007 09:25:26 ==> cburns ==> There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds.ValidateConnectionForExecute(SqlCommand command) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.ValidateConnectionForExecute(String method, SqlCommand command) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ValidateCommand(String method, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method, DbAsyncResult result) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior, String method) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() at ESP.Validator.Data.DatabaseEvents.DatabaseEventManager.Read(IEventable eventObject, Int16 eventType, DateTime earliestDate, DateTime latestDate) in C:My PathValidatorValidator.NETDataDatabaseEventsDatabaseEventManager.cs:line 92 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.CATCard.GetDespatchDate() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkCATCard.cs:line 94 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.ExistingSchemeEntitlement.ReadCards() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkExistingSchemeEntitlement.cs:line 215 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.ExistingSchemeEntitlement.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkExistingSchemeEntitlement.cs:line 147 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.TranslinkApplicant.ReadEntitlements() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkTranslinkApplicant.cs:line 369 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.TranslinkApplicant.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkTranslinkApplicant.cs:line 353 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.PrePrintedLetter.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkPrePrintedLetter.cs:line 282 at ESP.Validator.ValidationProcessor.Read(ValidationSubject subject) in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETValidationProcessor.cs:line 82 at clear_applications_scan_applications.ProcessValidation() It seems the data reader is getting reused. We have ensured after each read the reader is closed. Though all users are using the same connection string. Could it be a connection pool problem, with the connection being overwritten during execution? Should i edit it according to the users logon?I am really at a loss for ideas, and I don't mind admitting I am a bit out of my depth with this one!! Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
How to decrypt or encrypt without making user a db_owner. It is for a web application and I do not want make the web user a db_owner. Is there a way to make this work without making the user a db_owner. Currently the user is a db_datareader and db_datawriter.
I created an asymmetric key for encryption by password. I am not using a master key because I want to keep the password seperately on the web server, so a hacker cannot get access to both if database gets hacked.
These are the steps I took when I logged in to SQL server management studio using windows authentication:
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY ccnumber WITH ALGORITHM = RSA_512 ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password';
INSERT INTO Payments (CreditCardNumber,enc_CreditCardNumber) values( '458724124', EncryptByAsymKey(AsymKey_ID('ccnumber'), '458724124') )
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(50), DecryptByAsymKey( AsymKey_Id('ccnumber'), enc_CreditCardNumber, N'password' )) AS Creditcardnumber , Creditcardnumber FROM payments where Creditcardnumber = '458724124'
When I use the above select statement it works if I make the user a db_owner but I get null if the user is just db_reader and db_writer.
Is there a way to do encryption without making the user a db_owner?
