We lost power, and when the generator came on our system crashed and the data and the hardware was gone. We initialized the disk and we lost our backups. There is no tape backup in the company. Thanks for your help.
1) Is it possible to place the witness in an instance of VM Ware?
2) Are there any specific claims on the witness server if this uses SQL Server Express 2005?
Thanks in advance!

An
attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:Webspaceigiriabcabc.comwwwWebSite3App_DataDatabase.mdf
failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot
be opened, or it is located on UNC share.-------------------------------------------------Look familar? so i Googled it and tried everything, from removing the User Instance = true in the web.config and even adding intial Catalog = Database and it didnt work.Instead i was greeted with a Newer Error msg:Server Error in '/WebSite3' Application.
Could not open new database 'Database'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.Could
not attach file

Hi everyone,
BACKGROUND:
I just set up a network with 2 computers (direct cable network, no routers/hubs), one computer is running Windows 2000 Server and the other is running Windows XP Professional. They both recognize each other and I can access each computer on either computer. The WinXP computer has SQL Server 2005 express edition installed on it.
BASIC PROBLEM:
I am trying to install a database server on my Windows 2000 Server OS computer. This computer is a 350MHz, 256mb RAM computer. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am running sql server 7 with 200+GB database size. I have one table with following fields
IIINDEX
DOCTYPE
IMAGE BLOB
I need to dump all the information from this table to hard drive.
I have try with delphi ado and delphi odbc (limit 1mb), somehow when I run the program it gives me an error message E_ timeout.
How can I dump this information without using delphi.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
If you have any code that can help please email me samirp@ix.netcom.com

I remember reading one year ago that SSIS came with Advanced Services, or SP1 for SqlServer Express.
I have the file SQLEXPR_ADV which i presume is Advanced Services , installed it, no sign of SSIS !?
Can someone point me in the right direction, half hour Googling, Foruming, MSDN still no results of where to get it .
I would be able to determine how much hard disk space is available on the Server with a SQL Query, and from an other computer on the LAN.
How can I do something?
Thanks for your help.
I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

Hi. I've looked all over MSDN, newsgroups and the web but I can't find the answer to a problem that I am having.
The application that I am working on used both transactional and merge replication. I want to avoid hard coding passwords into an application that kicks off the pull replication on the client machine.
The client machines are all using SQL Server 2005 Express. The other machine is running SQL Server Standard. The passwords and login details are specified in the subscription properties in the Management Studio.
A fragment of the code is posted below. The transactional sychronization works fine without having to specify any passwords - however the merge replication does not work if both of the passwords are not specified.
private void SynchButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Set up the subscriber connection details. subscriberConnection = new ServerConnection(subscriberName); try { // Connect to the Subscriber. subscriberConnection.Connect(); // Do the transactional subscription synchronisation independantly of the // merge subscription replication. try { transPullSubscription = new TransPullSubscription(subscriptionDbName, publisherName, publicationDbName, transPublicationName, subscriberConnection); // If the pull subscription and the job exists, start the agent job. if (transPullSubscription.LoadProperties() && transPullSubscription.AgentJobId != null) { TransSynchronizationAgent transSyncAgent = transPullSubscription.SynchronizationAgent; transSyncAgent.Synchronize(); } else { } } catch (Exception ex) { } // Do the merge subscription synchronisation independantly of the // transactional subscription replication. try { // Set up the subscription details for the merge subscription (bi-directional data) mergePullSubscription = new MergePullSubscription(subscriptionDbName, publisherName, publicationDbName, mergePublicationName, subscriberConnection); // If the pull subscription and the job exists, start the agent job. if (mergePullSubscription.LoadProperties() && mergePullSubscription.AgentJobId != null) { MergeSynchronizationAgent mergeSyncAgent = mergePullSubscription.SynchronizationAgent; mergeSyncAgent.DistributorPassword = "<<password>>"; mergeSyncAgent.PublisherPassword = "<<password>>"; mergeSyncAgent.Synchronize(); }etc etc..
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appeciated. Thanks.
I need to create a SQL server database and add some tables to it. Then access it with a C# application. The problem is that the new SQL server database and it's tables must reside on an external hard drive. How do I point SQL server to this external drive, so that I can create a database on this drive and then create tables and access data on it?
Hi,
I need to use a top and a join in the same sql. To get 10 top refnr from orders_refnr. That works fine to I use this:
SQL = "SELECT TOP 10 refnr, antal = COUNT(refnr) FROM orders_refnr INNER JOIN produkter ON (orders_refnr.refnr = produkter.referensnummer) GROUP BY refnr ORDER BY antal DESC"
But I need to be able to get information from more fields than the field refnr. How can I specify more fields? I need to get other fields from produkter.
Please helt I´m really stucked.
I have gotten some criticism from coworkers regarding this test and just wanted to see what you guys think. I realize the wording could use improvement and any criticism towards making it easier to understand is much appreciated.FWIW - I had to solve this problem on the job so I feel it is a real-world test that helps me understand how people think and if they try to find alternate solutions.Thanks!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Given a table that has over 100,000 records…SUBSIDIARY=========PARENT_IDINTCHILD_IDINTULTIMATE_PARENT_IDINTCLEANUP_INDBIT…where each PARENT_ID can have multiple CHILD_ID values, but the PARENT_ID should not equal the CHILD_ID.

hi, I have NT server which has drive c: 500 MB and drive d has 44 GB.
I know that the person who set up this server did not give enough space to the c drive, here is the problem. I am running sql server 7.0 which has 30 GB of data in the d drive. I need to reconfigure the NT hard drive so I can allocate 2 GB for C drive and 42 GB for D drive.
What is the best, safe method to accomplish this task.

2. I ran Backup Wizard in EM and able to see only above drives
3. But if ran backup in EM able to see more than 10 Drives(like C,D,H,I,J,M,N and etc).
Why I can able to see those difference?.
How do I find out exactly how many drives are there in this server without directly going to that server?.
I appreciated your valuable answere.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to check the free space left on the hard drives and then if needed send an alert to notify when we need to free up some space. I played around with the performance monitor and realized I could do it that way but I think you would have to leave the performance monitor running all the time and I'm not sure if I want to do that. I also read about the xp_fixeddrives proc that displays how much free space is available but then I don't know what to do from there? Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRight, I have this database that I need to sort, I'll give you an example:
ID Name Value
2312 Sega 200
5678 Blizzard 215
3412 Bullfrog 210
6798 Nintendo 195
Now, what I need to do is to sort it, perform calculations on and I need the list to be sorted with a predefined post as the top result, say like this one time:
ID Name Value
3412 Bullfrog 200
2312 Sega 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
as you can see sorting it alphabetically would lead to
5678 Alizzard 215
3412 Bullfrog 210
6798 Nintendo 195
2312 Sega 200
(or the other way around if you play with asc/desc)
by id would be
2312 Sega 200
3412 Bullfrog 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
There aren't any top or bottom values sort of speak for the posts I want to be on top, so...how to sort this like this?
3412 Bullfrog 200
2312 Sega 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
the order after the top one is irrelevant.
Now...I know I could sort this by doing something like
"Select * FROM blablabla WHERE Name = 'Bullfrog'"
and then doing "Select * FROM blablabla" and then just bypassing that post in asp/php code or whatever, but that would be a pain for me to do as I have to perform some massive calculations and the code would be alot larger then needed be
Its a brain teaser allright...can you help me out?
Hello, everyone:
Does any one have an idea for hard drive configuration on SQL Server 2K? How to determine the RAID level for datafile and log file? Thanks
ZYT
I was wondering if anyone played around with changing the allocation unit size when formatting the hard drive the SQL server is running on. I would think that setting it higher to account for the larger size of the database files would help, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Hello!
I have 2 harddisk in my computer and I have SQL 2005 Express on 1 of them (let's say C:), however, my C: is going to be full soon! Once it is full, is it possible to create a table on my other harddisk which the server can recognise?

Hi there,
I am using this stored procedure in sql.
I have 6 tables. One is called employees. This is what I need to be able to do. A user enters a new employee into a winform, picks a role, division, manager, technicalskill set and applications from the drop down lists and hits save. The employee table should be the only one updated and has these columns only.( firstname, lastname, dvisionid, managerid, roleid,techskillsid, and appID). At the moment what is happening is its saving the firstname, lastname correctly, but the rest of the ID columns are null. It is updating the other tables with the string entered but what I need is the emplyee table to update with the corresponding ids. Is this alot more complicated then i thought? If I try to replace the role with roleid etc, it will just tell me I can't convert string to int which is understandable. How do I do this?
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_InsertEmployee
@Firstname nvarchar(50),
@Lastname nvarchar(50),
@Role nvarchar(50),
@Manager nvarchar(50),
@Division nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME) VALUES (@FIRSTNAME, @LASTNAME)
INSERT INTO [ROLE] ([ROLE]) VALUES (@ROLE)
INSERT INTO MANAGER (MANAGER) VALUES (@MANAGER)
INSERT INTO DIVISION(DIVISION) VALUES (@DIVISION)
END
GO
My C# code is like this:
SqlCommand sqlC = new SqlCommand("sp_InsertEmployee", myConnection);
sqlC.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Firstname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "Firstname"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Lastname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "Lastname"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@RoleID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "RoleID"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ManagerID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "ManagerID"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@DivisionID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "DivisionID"));
//sqlC.Parameters[0].Value = 4;
sqlC.Parameters[0].Value = FirstnameText.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[1].Value = Lastnametext.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[2].Value = RolecomboBoxTest.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[3].Value = ManagercomboBox1.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[4].Value = DivisioncomboBox2.Text;
int i = sqlC.ExecuteNonQuery();
//sqlC.ExecuteNonQuery();
Sorry for pasting so much.
Hello, I am experimenting with indexes and hope people can shed lighton some of my problems.I am using SLQ 2000 on Win 2000 Server. Using the following query fordiscussion;--------------------------------SELECT TOP 1000000E.EUN_Numeric, -- Primary KeyE.EUN_CODE, -- VarCharE.[timestamp] --,--E.Model -- Computed column (substring of EUN_CODE)FROM dbo.Z1_EUNCHK E--WHERE E.[timestamp]DATEADD ( wk , -48, getdate() ) AND-- E.[timestamp]< DATEADD ( wk , -4, getdate() )ORDER BY E.[timestamp] DESC-----------------------------------Problem 1) If I set up a single Index on the TimeStamp (plus the PK onEUN_Numeric) then there is not improvement in performance.It is only when I set up an Index on the Timestamp,EUN_Numeric,EUN_Codethen I get a good improvement. This is also thecase with the "where" clause added. I am using query analyser. Theimprovement is 14 secs to 3 secs (mainly with the removal of the sortprocess)Why?My expectation is that if my query uses [timestamp] column then surelyan index only on this is adequate.Problem 2) Introducing the simple computed column into the query takesthe time to 15 secs (with Sort processes involved).Why does revert back to sorting process when previous the index wasused ?Regards JC......

How can I do this with vbscript, or C# ?
- Copy backup files down from a network share, into the data directory of my local sql 2005 instance
- perform a restore using the files copied from above
- Execute a dts package
More info:
Our databases are scripted and exist on the typical development, and testing enviroments. So as I get ready to start a new application, I want my local sql instance to be updated based on structure changes as well as data. So I have to apply the changes from the scripted sources and pull over the data. I would naturally like to automate this.
ideas / suggestions welcome
I have a new server.
It was shipped with a 76 gig drive setup in RAID 1 (2 disk) and a 400 gig drive setup in RAID 5 (4 disk).
I would like to determine what is the best way to setup up the partitions. What size and what should be placed on each.
Like the C: Drive...Should I just put Windows on there and nothing else? Do I stand to gain something from not using part of that 76 gigs as a D: drive for my apps?
Is it possible to force parameters into the reports so enabling me to force a user id value into every report that is picked up from the list. The user ID is a system value and I don't want end users having any knowledge of it?
Cheers

Hi there,
The postage and packing scheme being used at the site I'm working on depends on the customer's location.
If they're in the UK they get once scheme and if they're in Ireland they get another. Furthermore, if they're anywhere else they get another scheme.
A customer's country is indicated by a 'countryID' stored in the main customer row in the database. (This ID references a country in the Countries table.)
Thus, I was wondering if it is acceptable to hard code the country pk of the UK and Ireland into the formular which works out the postage and packing?
At present, for a similar issue, I've even hard coded the the pk of UK and Ireland into some Javascript running at the client.
Is it fair design to work with a hard coded pk like this?
Cheers,
hi,,,here is the issueon the site there is a multiline text box.people type in muliple lines including soft line breaks(soft return (shift+enter)) and hard line breaks (hard return(enter)). the data gets stored in the SQL server 2000 database.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought a stored procedure was taking much too long to complete. So, I moved the main query to Query Analyzer and found that when I substituted actual values for variables that my SELECT statement ran in seconds. Just to test, I created DECLARE statements, set the variables equal to the same values, re-ran the SELECT statement and it took over a minute. Even the Execution Plan was much different. Any suggestions?
