I inherited an existing database application about 6 months ago. I've
finished converting it to use SQL Server 2000 as the backend (MS Access
2002 frontend w/ Userforms+VBA code pointing to the backend).
In its current state the application makes use of a ton of embedded SQL
statements and I'm thinking about the best way to clean this up. It
seems like the best way would probably to encapsulate each of the SQL
statements into its own stored proc and then have the MS Access
application call the sp. However, this would result in a very large
number of stored procedures.
Anyone have any links or suggestions regarding best practices on
removing embedded SQL scattered throughout a DB app? Thanks.
Hello, Im doing research for my company for a project we are about to start, but the more I find, the more Im confusing myself. Maybe someone would be so nice to help me a little.
We need a database solution, either licensing (ISV) or i think maybe an embedded database. if its licensing, its not a problem, but after research, im thinking licensing would be a waste of time or too much and theire not enough information to go by just that.
Problem: Need to develop software for a client where there will be around 300 users using the system (not all at once neccisarrily). We are creating this software for them and they want to re-sell it after completion, but they do not want to make their customers purchase a database for the purchase of their software. (because of all types of licensing). We need the database RUNTIME to run on the customers machine to make the software work.
Is there a RUNTIME license for Independant-Software-Vendor(IVS) for redistribution? or would it make sense to embed a database ( for example, the free edition of sql server;embeeded feature :), or maybe firebird embedded database?) We are developing in Visual Studio 2005.
This might sound confusing, thats where im at. For those of you with more experience, hopefully you understand what im talking about.
Thank you. I have 2 days to find a solution. Ill continue looking and post in thread if i find anything new or clearify my problem.
Is it possible to deploy SQL Server CE "baked into" a DLL? For example, instead of setting the build option to "Content", can I set it to "Embedded Resource"?
I am trying to write a short application within which I would like to embed a SQL Server Express database, all of which would be deployed via ClickOnce through a web site. The installation process seems to be working without trouble, including installation of the .NET Framework 2.0 and SQL Server Express 2005.
When the application launches on the new machine, however, I get a big Microsoft .NET Framework "Unhandled exception" error dialog box that indicates the database already exists and that the database file could not be attached. I am working with a clean virtual machine that I know has never had the database installed on it.
I fear I am overlooking something quite straightforward, but since this is the first time I have ever attempted to build a data-bound application, I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Perhaps the source of the problem, or a related problem, might be revealed even when I run the application in debug mode from within Visual Studio. I can run the application once, but if I try to run it again, I get an error when I try to open the database connection that is similar in content (database already exists...could not attach). I can run the SSEUtil and detach the database and then run the application again in debug mode and it works no problem (the first time!).
Lastly, if I install the application on the machine on which it was developed and make sure the database is detached, it will run without any trouble (even repeatedly). But, on a new blank machine, there is no database listed that matches my database name, so I cannot try to detach anything!?
There are 3 log files attached to a SQL Database . I would like to remove one of them as it was created by Previous DBA for temp use (Don'r ask me why?) If I run DBCC ShrinkFile with EMPTYFILE , would it let me drop that file or is there any command to do it? OR is it not possible at all
I have a large (420GB) database that has never had data archived off before. I taken a backup to a test server and run a script supplied by the product vendor which has removed a large ammount of old data no longer required.
I have checked within enterprise manager that this data has now gone, however the actual file itself has not shrunk in size. Is there a further step I need to take to get back the space.
We have transaction replication set up on one of our servers whose replicated DB is used for reporting purpose:
Now, the replicated database "D" of size 350 GB has mainly grown huge as compared to Published DB (200 GB) because of the index sizes at subscribed DB. Therefore:
I have found that Database D has one table of data size 15 GB, with rows 8349533 and index size 28 GB the biggest in the database. And adding have total of 109 Non clustered indexes:
On using SP_blitzindex i have found approx 50 NC indexes unused with below usage:
Reads: 0 Writes:273,243 and total size of indexes being 18 GB
Last User Seek Last User Scan
Last User Lookup all '0' 0 singleton lookups; 0 scans/seeks; 0 deletes; 0 updates; except for few 3 or 4 where updates are more than 4000.
Is this sufficient enough to delete all the above 49 unused NC indexes? And Can i create Missing index on Subscriber database?
When adding/removing tables in SSMS 2016 CTP2, I keep tripping into:
Index was outside the bounds of the Array
When editing a SQL Server 2014 Database.
If I use the SSMS for SQL 2014, the error is not happening. Possibly a reintroduced bug. Tried to use the Connect site to submit, but it says I am not enabled to use this area.
Hai All , Iam having the one Application in DotNet2005.But iam using the two database(SqlServer2005).If user's login the application it will check credentials in first database, if he is not having the login credentials it will cheek the second Database. How can I handle in the configuration file?. How can I change the connection string depending upon the Database in my application for database operation (like insert and update).Any one kindly provide the solution.Thanks and regards,sureshK
Hi, I'm interested in how asp.net application communicates with MS SQL database. I mean, is communication encrypted or can it be? I have scenario where database and web application will communicate over Internet, they are not in the local network. Please share your opinions.
Dear all I am a pretty new in the development world fresh from uni. I am doing development on a system that has a security database. Access to the data in that database is pretty important. So in case the main server where the database is stored for soem reason fails or gets compromised i need to have a second copy with the most recent data in that database and keep the application up and running. The data i have is stored in a SQL 2005 database. What are the recomended aproaches for acheiving this needed reliability? Would running the SQL Agent every 2 minutes do the trick? And replicate the database to another server and then have asecondary deployment on that server running as a backup? Or are there any other means? Any advice is apreciated. Sincerely
I was all set to build some triggers on some modified date tables when in the last minute I found out that the application (built in C#) was controlling the after update trigger.
Is there a tool you can use in SSMS to see if there is a connection set up like this?

How can distribute an SQL database with my application in VB, does clickOnce may me do that? Should the final consumer install SQL Express Before installing my application. Can I create a unique package which may me do that?...
We just converted one of our commercial applications over to using SQL Server. We have a database that is about 700megs in size, what I want to know is how is one suppose to actually deploy a database in an automated install? I have created T-SQL insert scripts, but it is 764M in size, and it takes forever to read the script in to send to the SQL Server. So I am looking for suggestions on how to actually do this.
I'm really new to this so this might look dumb, but I need to know what all has to be done to develop a standalone database application.....The frontend is going to be on VC++...which are the best tools I'll need to use. I need to know if the user has to install the database app to use the program to make this possible......Also will he have to keep it running everytime to use the program.
Hi all, i encountered this problem.. whenever i tried to create publications it always prompt me this error msg "sql server replications does not support nicknames,such "." or "(local)". i know i need to delete the registration and register a new server with a different name.. i just want to double confirm whether deleting the registration will affect the databases or not ? :
I added a database named appdata to the app_data folder to hold temporary application data. I want to show this data in a report. I created a dataset and an object to select the data. I then created an report.fdlc and a report.aspx with a ReportViewer on it pointing to the dataset object. If I right click on the report.aspx and View in Browser, it work perfectly. But when I upload it to the server I get and browse to it I get (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified). The server does allow remote connections. So I am thinking it's my connection string of the fact that the server doesn't have Sql Server Express.? Here's my connection string. What am I missing here? <add name="appdataConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|appdata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Hi All, I will shortly (hopefully) begin devleoping an ASP.Net web application to let users manage a remote sql server 2005 database (kind of like the php myAdmin tool for MySQL databases). Were not talking a server managament tool for DBAs, more an end user tool for managing personal databases (it seems that web hosting companies provide tools for MySQL, but if you use SQL Server, you're stuck unless you have management tools on your PC - and what about mac users?).Given that premise, what features should i attempt to include? Creating and modifying tables structures and data is an obvious inclusion, but what else? I also haven't yet decided whether to go about this using scripts or using SMO. I've read that SMO is backwards compatible across versions of SQL Server...how true is this? are there issues or is it seamless? Please post any comments or thoughts you have, and thanks for taking the time.
I have tried to find all the threads related to this topic. At this point I would like to find out what the best practices are for doing this. I plan to use Membership, Roles, and the login controls to handle my authentication and permissions issues. I want to use the same database for my application data as for Application Services, using a standard SQL Server. So far, the easiest way to set this up that I can think of is to:1. Use aspnet_regsql.exe to create the Application Services Database schema2. Edit the "LocalSqlServer" entry in <connectionStrings> to point to the above database3. Add the tables, views, stored procedures, etc., that I need for my application into the database created in step 1Is there any more configuration I need to do to get Membership and Roles working? When I did the Walkthrough, step 2 seemed to be the only requirement for getting Membership and Roles to work.Will I run into any trouble using LocalSqlServer for my application data updates?I would be interested in any other approaches to setting up a combined database, including opinions why and why not to do it.
Has anyone ever encountered problems making .Net applications connect to a SQL database on SQL 2000 with SP3a?
It's running on a virtual machine with a Windows Server 2000 Std with SP4, the .Net application is working with .Net Framework 1.1.4322.573. For some reason it can't connect to the SQL database using the specified username and password in the web.config file even though the user exists in the SQL database. I've tried using the SA password but this still doesn't work. I can logon to SQL Query Analyzer using the SA password but not using the other username.
The .Net application does work on other systems of mine all of which can run on Windows Server 2000 and 2003, I have compared them but can't find any differences.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me answer this question.
If I had a site like Yahoo, that constantly had users accessing it. Would it be a good or bad idea to automatically open a database connection to SQL Server on Application Start? What would you recommend? Would opening and closing the DB connection on every page save alot of overhead and bottleneck? Thank You.

I have the need to restore a database to a user's laptop on a dailybasis. This has been no problem using Enterprise Manager. I found astored procedure to run the restore and tried to call it from a visualbasic program. While I can connect to the database, I get an errortelling me "exclusive access could not be obtained because thedatabase is in use".Does this mean the only way to run the restore is via EnterpriseManager?Thanks,Tom
