Pending receiving the full version from the higher powers at my work, I have downloaded the Evaluation version of SQL 2000, and set up an instance on my desktop machine. This was set up on an administrator account, and works fine.
My main aim with SQL 2000 is to upsize all the companies piddling little Access 97 databases into an SQL backend and keep the 97 frontends. I have migrated some of the tablesets into SQL, and linked to them in Access 97 and they work fine.
However, the problems are when I try and set up ODBC. When I enter ODBC as a different user on the server itself, the ODBC list of available SQL Servers shows me the correct server information - my PC ID no, followed by the server name. However, when I try and connect with another machine on the network, it only displays the PC ID no of the server, and not the server name. When I attempt to add the server with just the PC name, it doesnt find the server - same when I add the name of the database to the end of the PC ID no.
I'm sure there is something really basic I have not done, but I'm totally stumped now. I am using Windows Auth, and have set up the login of the other PC I am trying to connect, as an authorised user.
Please help me - I am just a doofus, please feel free to laugh at me...
I am an absolute beginner with SQL Server, and I have now developed an app that needs to store, read, and search for saved data. Basically, my program will have to search through the databse to find a particular URL match to a string I supply, and then retrieve the Username and Password data that is associated with that URL, storing those to strings.
My problem is, I've learned how to create a database and tables in the IDE, but all of the examples on the web that I've found only talk about using SQL Server with Visual Basic 2005 in uses such as databinding to controls and displaying the database in datagrids and such on the form. I need help with how to interact with the database in code, seeing as the user of the program will likely never actually see the database contents- the data will be for the program's use only.
So, I was wondering if anyone could provide/guide me to some helpful information on interacting with SQL databases through code in VB Express 2005.
Thanks for any help.
Can someone recommend a good book for a beginner to learn MSFT SQL SEVER 2000 ? Thank you. lar

Hi,
I am fairly new to Visual Studio 2005 (using C#) and am writing an application for the company I work in. I have got a really nice functioning form working and am now planning what to do about the massive database I need to create (I don't think it will ever get to the 4GB limitation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition).
Can someone please help with some simple questions please?
1: I am decoding a specific file format and extracting the information for the main database. Fortunately, each record in the data file I am decoding has unique identity codes (so this will be great for the ID of each entry). Because the software has to do this by itself (the encoded file contains more than 1,120,000 records which will shrink to about 30,000 records, all different sizes once decoded). Can each record in a SQL server database contain a different number of elements? If so, what is this known as (I have read a little about jagged arrays - is there a similar thing in SQL server databases)?
2: As the program will decode the file and assemble the database, can I make my program create the database from scratch and manipulate the database rather than me having to define a database for my program to fill? If so, where can I find some info on doing this?
3: The database file will be stored on our office network and has to be accessible to more than one person at a time (in this case, a maximum of 6 users - well within the 25 users my book says is possible with SSE2005). Is it more complex to develop multi-user access to the database?
Just in case you wonder what books I have got, they are "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Developers" and "Getting Started with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition".
Thank you!
Hi,
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
Thank you for any thoughts!

Hi,
I am a total beginner to Pocket PC, and a 2-month beginner to SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. I made a database Pillbox.mdf, and wrote a Windows Forms program to access it. It's really easy. I just added a Data Source, chose tables and Stored Procedures, and dragged them onto my forms. It automatically created adapter classes and a DataGrid for me.
Next, I wanted to do the same thing for Pocket PC. I did the same drag and drop thing, and was happy to see the empty DataGrid in the emulator (design-time) form. From here on, trouble. When I ran it, it said it could not connect.
So some questions:
1) Does my connection string have to change? It has 3 parts: machine name, database name, and security spec. It specifies my machine name. Is that ok? Is it known by the Pocket PC, or do I have to specify http something? Does my machine have to change any settings to become a "server"? It's just a standalone PC with no network. I understand the emulator chooses to pretend that it's not "on" my computer. Is the database name known by the Pocket PC? (Same type of question.) And is Windows authentication ok on a Pocket PC? Or must I create a name/password pair on SQL server?
2) When I went to modify my connection string, I noticed a setting to specify the Data source. For SQL Server 2005, it asks me for a dbo, but for SQL Server Mobile, it asks me for a *.sdf file. What type of file is this? Is there a way to generate this from my other database? Is it not possible to have the the Pocket PC app point to the same database as the Windows app? Oh... does the sdf represent the Pocket PC's local database? If so, then my question is just how to populate it. But I will also have to update the main database at some point. I guess I'm confused about how Pocket PC's are supposed to work.
3) Do I have to deploy SQL CE or something? I think I read that Visual Studio does it automatically. It's a bit hard reading blogs because many comments talk about things that are now contained in VS. One blog was talking about 7 dlls that need to be downloaded to the Pocket PC.
4) My application just has to get a table, store it on the Pocket PC, and allow the user to modify and update records. The bandwidth should be low, as the table is small and updates should not be frequent. Is this a reasonable design? What I am asking is if it's ok to have direct database access, or if I should package up the data in some custom format, and use a Web service to pass the data back and forth. I have read and understood articles why you should not pass a Dataset in a web service, but the point was just that web services can be interoperable, so why spoil that with MS-only Datasets. In my case, I just want to get this simple app up and running quickly.
Thanks in advance.
Hi:
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005, but before that I need install MS SQL Server for my database, what kind of MS SQL server I need install, how about "MS SQL 2005 Express Edition"? Or I have to install "MS SQL 2005"?
Can you please give a link for the download.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've been banging my head against this issue, and I haven't managed to find a solution. I was hoping that maybe somebody here has done something similar.
I am trying to get the latest available pricing from a Rate table, which is based on the customer ID and the provided date from another table (Table1).
This is what the code looks like, essentially:
select
table1.*
,table2.*
,table3.Rate
from table1
left outer join table2 on table1.Id = table2.Id
left outer join (
Select Top 1 Rate from RateTable
Where RateTable.date < table1.date
order by RateTable.date desc
) as table3 on table3.custId = table1.custId
I understood that table1.date can't be explicitly passed into the nested join within table3, but does anybody know a work around that can achieve the above example (the environment is SQL server 2000 and inside a view not on in a stored proc)?
Thanks in advance for any tips or workaround.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy company needs a database. My first thought was to do it in Access, because it's available! But I wanted to check that that was smart, what its limitations are, when it's better to move to bigger / more expensive software, etc.
It's probably going to have several hundred thousand records in and will grow by more than a hundred thousand every year. Is there a size limit?
Not that many fields, though - it's not that complicated a database.
Many thanks in advance for any help :beer:
Hi!
I'm trying to make a dictionary.
WordEng(#id,word);
WordIta(#id, word);
tables with words in Italian and English.
Connect1(#id,id1,id2); connecting word form Eng with Ita translation.
Connect2(#id,id1,id2); same for Italian.
Is this correct? 3. normalisation? Will this work?
if i am creating an SP then i only specify output parameters if the SP is to return a single set of values. is that correct? if my SP is returning multiple rows from a SELECT statement then i would not specify any parameters on the SP. can somebody clarify this for me. thanks!

Hi all,
This looks like a great place for SQL Server support. I hope you don't mind a few n00b questions.
I'm a sysop whose main experience is with Windows XP and SBS 2003. I'm also reasonably familiar with Access 97/2000, having programmed a few small databases. I've recently acquired a client who is running the premium version of SBS, which includes SQL Server 2005. This means I have to manage this thing. This *huge* thing. So my first question is: Where can I find information to get me started, first from a sysop perspective, and later from a Access programmer perspective. What is your experience?
Then two current issues. One is that for some reason SQL Server 2005 is using about 2 gigabytes of memory out of the box. Is this normal? Second, I can't for the life of me find the backup system. I can see backups being made of the AdventureWorks database (at 3:00), but even after 2 hours of searching I can't change the schedule. I knew how to do this in SQL Server 2000, but this version is very different.
I'd much rather figure these things out on my own, but this product is just too complicated to learn in a few days, and the memory usage issue is critical.
I'd be much obliged for any help you can offer.
Hi,I'm finishing up a beginning SQL class where we learned on an Oracledatabase and the transition to working on SQL Server is easy. The next moreadvanced course will be in PL/SQL, but I know I will be working on SQLServer in the workplace, so my question is if I should take this course.Will I benefit from the basic philosophies that will be covered, or will itjust make a transition for me more difficult? Will it be partly a waste oftime and money and I'd be better served getting a book and self teachingmyself? I know that in a greater sense learning something isn't necessarilya waste, but I mean from the perspective of my goal of being able to use SqlServer, will this course be useful?thanks.

I'm not good t adatabases and never had to install one before, but I have an easy question....
I need to install a big application that needs a database server in the back end to run, I have a box with SQL2005 installed on it and I need to let the server be the database server for this application that will be installed on a seperate box....
How would I be able to point this application to the database server? do I need to install a SQL client on this server and point it to the SQL2005 server in the back?
Do I need to create a "new database" on the SQL sever and give it a name and credentials then point the application to that database? if that is the case, how would I do it?
Thanks.
I have created two reports. One links to the other with a drillthrough. The linking works fine, but no values show up in the fields besides the group titles and column titles. Why is this happening?
The user is given a list of Counties with values. The Counties(in a matrix) are clickable for a drillthrough of Ages and Genders in the Counties. Looks something like this:
Years
Counties Total Crashes Fatalities
Cook 85 98
Manchester 2850 258
Sagamon 987 526
So when a user clicks a county, such as "Cook", this is displayed
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female 25 8
Male 55 15
9-15 Female 850 258
Male 185 35
16-22 Female 87 526
Male 10 35
But I am getting this in :
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female
Male
9-15 Female
Male
16-22 Female
Male
Whats going on? Can anyone make any suggestions? Just to let you know its based off of an Analysis Services Cube and not relational tables.
Hello,
First off, I'm completly new to SQL.
I'm trying to create an insert command that uses a select command as a value.
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy'
What I get from this is 5 rows updated which is what I wanted.
Although, I would like to insert a UserID from C# code or for now just 1151 for example.
I'm assuming that it would look something like this:
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID,UserID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy' , 1151
but I am not even close.
Please help me with this.
Thanks,
Guy
