I've been a developer for 20 some years, but never learned the design steps of a complex database. Can you give me a book or 2 to bring me up to speed with the latest database design and data modeling techniques?
thanks.....
I just to learn more about writing efficient sql statements,as well as database design principles and design instances .Will you please recommend some classic books or websites on these topics?

Hi
I am having some trouble with our Veritas Backup Exec not properly releasing db backup files, & thus interfering with the deleting of old backups.
We have other servers still needing tape backups implemented and
I wonder if anyone has a good backup software/hardware system to recommend, that is ideal for database backups, & on the hardware side is reliable?
Anyone have any to recommend?
thx

dun need sophisticated interactive reports, but just simple basic rigid reporting will do :D
looking for a simple tool for my end users. Crystal Reports a bit overkill.....
I am going to start out with covnerting reports from Sql server Reporting services 2000 to Sql server Reporting services 2005. Pl recommend a GOOD BOOK For SSRS 2005.
Thanks.
hi guys, Can anyone advise me how how to read an excel doc i have stored locally? I need to be able to start the read from say row number 6 and finish the read once i get to a row that contains a pre-determined word signifying the end of processing. I intend to store the parsed data in an array that will be used as the data source for a gridview or repeater object on another asp page. I'm using ASP.net 2.0 and C# by the way. thanks in advance for any help!!!

Dim objCon2 As New SqlConnection()
objCon2.ConnectionString = "a standard connection string"
objCon2.Open()
Dim objCommand As SqlCommand
objCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objCon2)
Dim objReader As SqlDataReader
objReader = objCommand.ExecuteReader()
Label1.Text = objReader("email")
strSQL is a select command which I've checked (using SQL Query analyzer) does return data. I know the connection string is valid (and I presume if it wasn't that it'd fail on objCon2.open, which it doesn't).
So why oh why do I get this error on the last line (and yes, there is an "email" field in the contents of the reader)
System.InvalidOperationException: Invalid attempt to read when no data is present.
I have this code that I hacked together from someone else's example. I kind of understand how it works. I just don't know if it will and i am not in a location right now to check. I was wondering if I did this correctly first, second how can it improve and should i do something different. Basically i just want to check the password in a database. I am passing the username and password to this function from another functioprivate bool authUser(string UserName, string Password){ string connectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DBConnectionString"]; SqlConnection DBConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString); bool result = false; DBConnection.open() SqlCommand checkCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT password FROM Users WHERE userName='" + Password + "', DBConnection) SqlDataReader checkDataReader = checkCommand.ExecuteReader();
if(checkDataReader.GetString(0) == Password) { result = true; } else { result = false; } checkDataReader.Close(); DBConnection.Close();
return result;}Thank you Buddy Lindsey
Does anyone know how to read transaction log besides trace and profiler. The current situation is some one in our org. deleted an item and I'm trying to find out who and when.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some records that have been deleted. I need to find out who did it and to do that I need to read the logs. Are there any utilities that will allow me to read login 7.0? How about 6.5?

Here is I think an interesting question
is there a way to read or access the transaction log of a
database in SQL server 7.0
Hoping someone has a solution :-)
We are having continual problems with our transaction log filling up on one of our major applications.
Does anyone know of a way or tool to read the transaction log? We want to determine what is causing this problem.
Thanks
Is there a way, in SQL 7.0 to print out or view what's in the Transaction Log? In 6.5 you could view the table syslogs, but I don't see any documentation anywhere on how to do this in 7.0.

How can I read an ini file entry and pass this parameter to a stored procedure which will be run in a DTS Package?
Thanks for the input

Anyone know a way to read DTS packages? I have inherited a DTS package, saved in SQL, and am trying to find a way to read the steps without having to view every single step through the GUI.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I want to write a function to retrieve all records from a "Parts" table so that I can read these records in .NET.
SqlDataReader reader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader()
while( reader.Read() )
{
int x = reader["id"];
string partName = reader["name"];
// Do stuff with data here //
}
My question: How should the function be written?
Should I create a PROCEDURE and just call a SELECT statement?
CREATE PROCEDURE getPartsList()
AS
SELECT part_id as 'id', part_name as 'name' FROM parts
Or should I create a FUNCTION that returns a TABLE? If so, is this the correct syntax?
CREATE FUNCTION getPartsList()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (SELECT part_id as 'id', part_name as 'name' FROM parts)
Thanks for reading

Hi All,
I would like to know if i can read data from xl sheet using a stored procedure?
Thanks in advance
vishu
I do a lot of file processing and I usually run a little script I copyand paste to read directory information to see if a new file it thereand then process the file if it is. So, I decided to wise up and makea stored procedure to automate a lot of that.The pivotal step in this is that i run a command that looks like:CREATE TABLE #DIR (FileName varchar(100))DECLARE @Cmd varchar(1050)SET@Cmd = 'DIR "' + @Path + CASE WHEN RIGHT(@Path, 1) = '' THEN ''ELSE '' END + @WildCard + '"'INSERT INTO #DIREXEC master..xp_CmdShell @CmdWhen I run the stored procedure I get back the files and folders inthere that match the wildcard and all is good!!!!....Until I try to put that information into a table while calling thatstored procedure:CREATE TABLE #Files (Path varchar(100),FileName varchar(100),PathAndFileName varchar(150),FileDateTime SmallDateTime,FileLength int,FileType Varchar(10))INSERT INTO #FilesEXEC sp_GetFileNames @Path = '\isoft2ftpLegacyBilling', @Wildcard= '*.txt'When I run this I get:Server: Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_GetFileNames, Line53An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.Because I use an INSERT EXEC to with the results from the @Cmd.Anybody have any ideas how I can get that information into a table?I did try to just copy the data to c: empdir.txt and then bulkimport it in. But when it runs the @Cmd to create the file it comesback with a NULL value and my stored procedure returns two sets ofvalues... which I can't do.So, I would appreciate anybody who can help.Thanks!-utah

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi
I have a problem with SSIS in that I need to read an XML file in from a URL,which brings me back the below XML. What I need to be able to do is essentially create a single record, including the nested XML <image> into the same record. This information then needs to be entered into a database table.
What I found is that if I use a data flow component, and have an XML source pointing to this URL, it essentially creates a different output for every level of nesting. This causes me serious issues because I would then have to somehow get to the information in the <image> tag, and then get everything below that, etc, to be able to get the images related to each <stock> record. This is a pain.
I also looked at using an XML task, where I could use an XSLT to transform to the required output, however, I can't point this XML task to a URL to retrieve the XML.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks
Darrell
