SQL Server 2005 - Building A Development Server

Mar 10, 2007

Hi,

I would like advice regarding what hardware to use for a SQL Server 2005 for use in a development environment. I am the only developer and user of the database.

I develop at home, and currently use one PC, to develop the software. My PC is Athlon XP 4000, 2 Gig RAM, 1 x 160gb HD . I am developing an asp.net website along with a variety of data interface applications in C# - all on top of SQL Server 2005. This environment works/worked fine until I started dealing with a lot more data.

I now have 2 databases, each about 30 gig in size (with most of the data in a a couple of tables in each database). When I am importing data or running the website or doing intensive queries or doing sql updates that change millions of rows, I am understandably hitting performance problems. I have had to throttle SQL Server 2005 to only use 400mb, as I have so many other development applications that are open...... Everything is slowing to a halt, and I dont think SQL Server is very happy.

So, I am looking to build or buy a cheap machine to run SQL Server 2005, and take the load off my current PC. However I only have a budget of about Ł300/$560 - maybe a bit more at a push (I could possibly upgrade in the future).

I could do something like below, if I am going to buy a machine

Acer T180
Sempron 3200
512mb (i would upgrade to 2GB)
80gb hard disk

Or I could build my own? If I do, what should I skimp on and where should I invest more. I.e. should I get the cheapest processor possible, and get a decent harddrive or 2? Should I raid 0 a couple of small drives? Or have one drive for data and one for the transaction logs? Or should I have one drive, and spend more on RAM?

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Sql Server 2005 (business Intelligence Development Suite ) Problem Installing Sql 2005 On Vista (vs 2008)

May 7, 2008

I installed sql server 2005 sp2 including business intelligence development suite , however I got a message
some client components not compablitable .This morning I searched my programs and found that I have new
visual studio 2005 on my computer (before I just had vs 2008) as well as business intelligence
developer (which does not work) It seems I I would like to get rid of vs 2005 also
fix business intelligence studio . Previously I deleted vs 2005 express off my computer........(I have vista
and I would only like to keep tools meant for sql standard 2005 reporting services etc
here is a list of my sql sp2 install package
By the way I doubled clicked sql_tools.msi and did not run as administrator
Does that make a difference? I wonder if this is a problem with vs 2008 and sql 2005......

SQL Server 2005 - Backup For Development Machine

Jul 23, 2007

Hi,
I need help finding a good back up solution for SQL Server 2005.  I am hosting several databases in a shared environment and do not have admin rights to detach & copy & reattach the database file.  I can have the hoster back up the file, but that is a manual process and I have had other issues with it in the past (access rights, cost, etc.).  I have also tried creating a new business intelligence project, but have found it difficult to do a complete exact copy (while maintaining primary key values) as I run into many concurrency violations.  This is especially true in databases that use the standard asp.net membership services tables.
Is there a way to get an exact duplicate of the structure & data of a sql server 2005 database without having to create a new Business Intelligence Project?  Or is there an easy way to do this within BI that doesn't require a table-by-table setup?  The primary purpose of this backup for me is for use on my development machine.  Backup for data security/recovery is handled by the ISP.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Best Approach For Appl Development-SQL Server 2005

Apr 13, 2008

Hi,

I'm looking for some input as to "how to" create a desktop application that will be using SQL Server 2005 with the possibility of becoming a web application later.

So far I have looked at Access 2007 as a candidate to build the appropriate forms and update the SQL Server, however I'm still wondering if there is a better approach considering that this app may likely become a web app, and I should bypass Access 2007 and use some other product, and it doesn't have to be a MS product, and could be Open Source.

The SQL Server 2005 part has been loaded and works fine with the various management tools.

With that said are there any opinions on what other application(s) could be used to build the front-end as rapidly as possible and still have scalability?


Regards,

Cool Hand

MS Visual Studio 2005 Vs SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio

Apr 16, 2007

I recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?

Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?

Transferring Existing SSIS Packages Saved In A Shared Folder Location From Development Server To Live Server

Dec 20, 2007

Please can anybody help me in transferring existing SSIS Packages saved in a shared folder location from development server 2ED to Live server TWD1.
Both has SQL server 2005 running and has visual studio 2005
Currently about 25 SSIS packages are executed from the development server transferring data on Live server TWD1...these ETL process is called from development server but executed on live server.
Now the problem is when i call these packages from the shared folder from live server it crashes.....i need to changes something to shift the whole package to the live server..and execute on live server itself instead of recreating the whole 25 process from scratch.....also i use optimize for many tables ..and run in a single trancastion....so how can i see the mappings of source and destination tables.
 
Please let me know the process how i can achieve this.

SQL Server Error While Deploying ASP.Net 2.0 Application To Development Server.

Apr 1, 2007

Hi Everybody,
I have made one simple application in asp.net 2.0 using VS 2005. I got following error
 Server Error in '/[applicationname]' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
- When i got on my local machine i solved it by deleting sqlexpress directory from user's account and it was due to that I have installed VS 2005 on machine and by default it installs sql express with it.
- But I could not solved this error on my Development Server wherein there is no VS 2005. Only .Net framework 2.0 & 1.1 are there. My all other applications are running well.
 So if any one have idea regarding the solution for this error then please reply me soon. It is very urgent.
 
Thanks to all of you.
Regards, Hardik B.

Keeping Live Server And Development Server In Sync

Aug 17, 2007

Hi,

Im fairly new to this so apologies if Ive put this in the wrong place.

I have just rented out server for a new asp.net site. Ive been developing the site on my local machine and the database in Sql Enterprise. Ive recently put a copy of the site on the live server and got everything configured.

However everytime I make a change to my local database, or add values into my look up tables I have to go do the same on the live server and its proving a bit of a pain in the ass, so Im guessing there has got to be a much smarter way of doing this. I dont want (if possible) to open up the live sql server to allow remote connections, but if thats what neccesary so be it.

So my question is basically what are my options for keeping my live server up to date with my development server. As I add new features on my local server, should i be saving sql scripts of all the changes I make?

All opinions much appreciated.

Its Only A Development Server But ...

Jun 2, 2005

OK, it isnt the end of the world but i have been moving all SQL databases from one server to another in our development environment and think i have screwed up a bit.

In essence, the users in each database are different to the logins in the security tab. IE, there are users in DB1 that dont appear in the logins list. Is there anyway of getting the security information uptodate? I move the databases by detach|file copy|attach into the nice shiny new server. I am running into all sorts of errors when i try to create users in security as it says the user alrady exists ...

all thoughts welcomed, am steeling myself to start all over again!

SQL Server 2012 :: Building Self-referencing Hierarchical Table

May 21, 2014

An example of what I am talking about is the employee table in the Adventureworks database. This has employeeID and then ManagerID, ManagerID just being the EmployeeID of the person whom the original reports to.

I know the queries for querying this type of data and even making recursive common table expressions. What I cannot seem to find is how one goes about BUILDING said table. I see all sorts of examples where people are just doing INSERT table VALUES () manually to load the table. The problem is, I need to create a table that has potentially thousands of records.

It will essentially be a dimensional map. Don't even get me started as to they why, I will just suffice to say that is what the client and project want . I have a process that will do this now, but it is not very dynamic and very hard coded. To me, there seems like there should be some sort of standardized methodology for handling this.

DataBase Development Server

Aug 9, 2005

Hi,I am trying to create a development database server (make use of an old machine), with which to learn about sql 2005 and oracle etc.  I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2 on my development/workstation machine.My workstation and the prospective server are connected via a router and can 'see' each other.I have installed win 2003 server on two seperate partitions (multiple boot) and installed sql server 2005 on one partition and will install oracle 10g on the other. (I understand these two databases can run on the same machine/OS, but I just wanted to keep things tidy and I won't be using them at the same time, so ...).My question is how do I/should I configure win 2003 server / sql server 2005 on my server machine, in order to be able to connect from my workstation via vs 2005 beta 2 ?Any suggestions or resources on configuration appreciated.

Tracking Changes To A SQL Server Database During Development

Apr 24, 2008

I am running both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.

Lets say I have a live database that is version 1 for an application. The database is copied onto a development machine to develop version 2 of the application. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the database and then get a program to write all the changes made after the snapshot into sql code. This is so I can run this sql code on the live database and transform version 1 to version 2.

Is there any program/tool that will allow me to do this?

Need Recommendation on Tool for SQL Server Development

I have inherited a SQL Server 7 database (actually a SQL Server 6.5 database running on SQL 7 in compatibility mode) with 1000s of objects with triggers and stored procedures with zero documentation; i need to make major changes to this database; are there any tools available that will allow me to quickly search through the database objects and code (like stored procedures, etc) for keywords and other useful criteria? Do you recommend any SQL Server specific tools that will help me learn this database in the shortest amount of time?

Thank you!

How To Deploy The Packages To Sql Server After Development?

Dec 26, 2007

Hi,

While developing the packages in our developers environment the packages should be stored in file system. Once after the completion of the development, while moving these packages to upstream environments the packages should be deployed to sql server. Is this scenario possible? If possible, can anybody give me some tips for how to do that.

Basically It is like the developers make their changes in the file system packages (internally versions are mainintained by source control). After the completion of the development whenever we do a build and deploy to the upstream systems we should move the packages from file system to sql server database. There is a scheduler in sql server which is responsible for executing these packages.


Can anybody give me some examples?

Another question.

Assume that in the developers environment there is a central sql server database which is storing all the packages in MSDB database. Suppose at a time 2 developers are making modification to a single package. How it behaves? Is parallel developemnt supported in SSIS?


Thanks in advance.

Problem Using SQL Server BI Development Studio

May 7, 2007

Hello

I'm using SQL Server BI Development Studio to create a mining structure to forecast time series analysis.
The process to create a model for time series has these steps:
Create a connection to the Database;
Create a source view. Create relationships between tables using the foreign keys;
Create the model with the mining structure. Define the fields that I won€™t to predict and the algorithm properties aren€™t changed.
Is something wrong in these steps, I missing something?
Other problem is the utilization of the model created earlier. In some tests that I made, the models don€™t do forecasting upper then 20 steps. The problem could be the number of lines? But other data set with a large number of null values doesn€™t have any problem predicting more than 20 steps using the time series algorithm.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2012 :: In Trigger - Building Dynamic Table With Inserted Data

Nov 4, 2015

Within a trigger, I'm trying to create a unique table name (using the NEWID()) which I can store the data that is found in the inserted and deleted tables.

Declare @NewID varchar(50) = Replace(convert(Varchar(50),NEWID()),'-','')
Declare @SQLStr varchar(8000)

Set @SQLStr= 'Select * into [TMPIns' + @newID + '] from inserted'
Exec (@SQLStr)

I get the following error: Invalid object name 'inserted'

I know I can do:

Select * into #inserted from inserted
Set @SQLStr= 'Select * into [TMPIns' + @newID + '] from #inserted'
Exec (@SQLStr)

But I don't want to use TempDB as these tables can become big and I also feel that it is redundant. Is there a way to avoid the creation of #inserted?

Building A Truly Platform Agnostic SSIS Package (SQL Server And Oracle Interop)

May 18, 2007

As painful as it is proving out to be, I am trying to create a single package that is vendor neutral between SQL Server and Oracle.

At first, I thought that as long as I was going OLEDB in and out, and I ensured that my SQL syntax was generic enough, I'd be OK.

Well, not exactly. I am finding there is more to this. Specifically, metadata gets generated differently based on the source/targets.

For example, on an OLE DB Source task, datatypes will vary (i.e. NUMBER in Oracle vs Int in SQL). The job here is to pick the common denominator for the SSIS specific type. Time consuming, but doable, I think.

Another issue is on an OLE DB Desitnation. If you choose Table for Data Access Mode, this value gets written to the dtsx XML file. So, even when both RDBMS have the same schema (which is an obvious prereq) if choosing SQL Server "dbo.DimTable" will get written to the file and for Oracle "SCHEMA.DIMTABLE" will get written.

So, I am am wondering, what is the best way to address this?

My inital thought was using a dtsConfig file (which I am already using extensively) and set the target table names accordingly. This approach would have the added benefit of allowing for post-deployment configuration changes should a table name change, for example.

This section of the dtsx file shows the values of interest:

<component id="138" name="OLE_DST_DimTable" componentClassID="{E2568105-9550-4F71-A638-B7FE42E66922}" description="OLE DB Destination" localeId="-1" usesDispositions="true" validateExternalMetadata="True" version="4" pipelineVersion="0" contactInfo="OLE DB Destination;Microsoft Corporation;Microsoft SqlServer v9; (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved; http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;4">

<properties>
<property id="139" name="CommandTimeout" dataType="System.Int32" state="default" isArray="false" description="The number of seconds before a command times out. A value of 0 indicates an infinite time-out." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="None">0</property>
<property id="140" name="OpenRowset" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the name of the database object used to open a rowset." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="None">"ORASCHEMA"."DIMTABLE"</property>
<!-- More Properies -->
</component>


Ideally, I'd like configuration time control over the name attribute of the component element (highlighted) so that I can set the value of the property element with the OpenRowset attribute type (also highlighted). This way, presumambly as long as datatypes were generic enough, the mapping would just work.

But, in walking through the dtsConfig tree, I don't see these elements or attributes exposed.

I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish this.

How Do We Work With Development And Online Sql Server Databases ?

Sep 22, 2006

Hello,I am working with VS2005pro and sql server 2005 (tables, SP). Nothing online yet but it should be soon for tests, and it will be for me the first time with sql server...I have a very basic question about the way we can keep on adding tables, stored procedures... when the application is already online.I'll try to explain: once online my users will enter data in the database (good point!). But on my side I have to keep on developing new features (new tables, new stored procedures...) and why not add new rows in tables, and I would like to add them to this database on the server once I have finished my development.So what's the best way to work ? Do I need to work online directly on my .mdf database (which I wouldn't like to do) ? Or do I keep on developing on my own computer, on a development database, and then is there a way to update/synchronize with the database on the server in order to add the newly created tables and SP ?Thank for you help.

SQL Server - Best Practice For Local And Remote Development

Aug 13, 2007

What is the usual way to develop ASP.NET websites locally using a database and then migrate everything to the real webserver?
Here's what I'm doing now -- tell me what I should be doing instead (I'm a newbie developer).


I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Standard with a SQL Server 2005 database, to develop a small C# ASP.NET website. I'm the only developer.
