Simple Database - What Is Best Option?
Jan 31, 2006
Hi,
I am writing a simple program which runs on users xp machines and accesses a simple table on an NT Server.
In otherwords, the database consists of just a single table with perhaps 4 fields and a maximum of 200 records, with low transaction activity (users periodically update their status or check on other users' statuses).
Do I need to use SQL????
What is my best option for such a simple table / database.
Your help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.

Hi,
I have a problem with CREATE DATABASE statement, since it needs to specify the absolut path for a file in the FILENAME= option. I would need instead a relative path, i.e. only the name of the file because the script that launch this SQL command is dependant on the installation path decided by the user, during the installation.
Is there a way to pass to the FILENAME only the name of the file?
Hope to have been clear :-)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 onto my XP Professional PC. When I get to the "Components to install" part, the "SQL server database services option" is greyed out. Infact, all options except "Workstation components..." are greyed out. I've tried uninstalling all previous versions of SQL server and trying again, but with the same results.
any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
I'm aware that when bulk loading to a SQL 2005 database through an OLE DB Destination, you can enable the FIRE TRIGGERS option. Is this option available when your database target is SQL 2000? I can't find it in the Properties or other windows.

I'm currently using SQL Server 2005. Before I have set my database on unrestricted auto growth. But today, I have noticed that the Log file has been set to limit its growth to 2,097,152 MB. I have 160GB space for my log files, I just want to maximize the space for logs in my hard drive.
When I try to change the settings back to auto growth it still keeps on returning to its previous setting it is still set on 2,097,152 MB. What I did was :
Right Click on the Database - Properties - Files - Click the (...) - set the auto growth option to unrestricted - Click Ok
But when I checked log file, it is still set on 2,097,152MB.
Can some one help me change the settings of my Database.

Good morning all...
I would like use the "Database Mirroring Monitor" to track what's going on.
All three of my servers have SQL Server 2005 x64 edition installed with SP1.
Server A is mirroring to Server C
Server B is mirroring to Server C
Following the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365786(d=ide).aspx:
On Server A and C, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" appears.
On Server B, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" does NOT appear.
Is there something I have to do to get this tool installed on the machine, or it is an automatic thing?
Thanks!

To configure database mirroring
After connecting to the principal server instance, in Object Explorer, click the server name to expand the server tree.
Expand Databases, and select the database to be mirrored.
Right-click the database, select Tasks, and then click Mirror. This opens the Mirroring page of the Database Properties dialog box.
To begin configuring mirroring, click the Configure Security button to launch the Configure Database Mirroring Security Wizard.
but i do not see any "Mirror" Option in the "Tasks" menu.
Why ?

So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.

I've looked over the "how do I" stuff but not found a simple, straightforward to simply make a complete snapshot of a relatively small development database (perhaps 2 to 3 meg at this point) so that I can bring it to my local system (from a hosting provider) or vice-versa.
I see the info on "SQL Server Import and Export Wizard" but I don't find the functionality in SQL Server Management Studio Express -- or am I missing it?
Such a process seems obvious. It's not "replication" is it? I don't need it on an on-going basis -- just an occasional one-time thing.
Mahalos (thanks) in advance for any guidance ... :) KevInKauai

I thought I would start learning how to backup my SQL Server 2005 database using the simple recovery method. Using the SQL Server Management Studio I started the backup task. In the Back Up Database dialog box the Recovery Model is set to Full and disabled (grayed out). It does not give me the option to switch to the Simple Recovery Model. Is there a setting I need to adjust that will allow me to switch to the Simple Recover Model?

Hello,
I have a search form in an ASP.NET/VB page. The form has the input text box and the button "search". The keywords are passed in the URL to results.aspx.
Here is an example of what I get in the URL, when I write the keywords "asp", "book" and "london" in the input text box and click "search":
results.aspx?search=asp%20book%20london
The database table has 3 fields: "id", "title" and "description".
I want to display all the records where at least one of the keywords is found in any of the 2 fields "title" and "description".
1. I suppose I need to get the words out of the URL to be used by SQL.
Maybe: string[] searchString = request.queryString("search").split('search'); ???
How can i make this run when page loads? I supose i need it. Right?
2. How should the SQL look? I supose i need to use the "Like" command
SELECT * FROM books WHERE title LIKE ...
But how to I use it if I can have 1, 2, 3, ... keywords?
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi- I have questions about mobile database limits. The application is entirely C# / Compact Framework 2.0, using VS2005. Devices we support are all running WM5. We're trying to incorporate what seems to be a large database that the application needs to talk to offline from any network, so it needs to be stored & hosted within the database and hence we started working with the various generations of what is now SQL Server Compact Edition.
In order to profile the responsiveness I worked up a test database with the general collection of fields we are interested in. The main table has 80,000 rows with one primary key and one of the numeric fields indexed. There is a 'nickname' table which contains about 150,000 items with just a string for a nickname and the key that nickname goes with. With all the rows and an alpha index for the nickname field the database is about 42 mb. Which is pushing the amount of storage on the handheld, but of our two models one is fine and one still has about 30 mb free with the DB on the handheld.
My problem seems to be that one kind of device can work with this database and one cannot. The device I was using the prototype the application is a HP iPAC hx2490b. On that device more than once I have corrupted the database, but not yet as a reproducible process.
My other device is a Dell Axim X51. On that device I seem to corrupt the database with very simple actions. Just now I tried a query like (From the Query Analyzer 3.0)
Code Snippet
Select * from ReagentNicknamesTable where alt_names like 'alpha%'
Which should hit 2099 of the 150,000 records. I got about 400 back and then the table was corrupted. On this device I cannot recover the database as there isn't enough disk space for two copies of the DB. So corruption in the field would be a showstopper. But getting corruption from a simple query like this means I really can't use SSCE.
This problem with the dell showed up when I was using the original device sql that came with VS2005. (SQL Server Mobile?) The cabs & dll's were dated from 2005 and had a build number of 3.0.5206.0. I have since updated to the current version of SQL Server Compact Edition and the dlls have build number 3.0.5300.0. The IDE is set to Compact Framwork 2.0, sp1: cgacutil reports CF 2.0.6129.0.
So help! Have I hit some listed or unlisted limits to SSCE on the Compact Framework? thanks.

Hi,
I tried to create a simple application based on the Sql Server CE samples and, as is typical when I play with databases, the program failed. In this case it failed to even load. The program has a form and a data source that I dropped onto the form. When I run the program the program breaks at this line:
Code Snippetthis._connection = new global::System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection();
The error is:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
My first attempt at 'fixing' this was simply to copy the requisite DLLs to my bindebug folder. I found the DLLs here:
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5 and copied these - sqlcecompact35.dll, sqlceca35.dll, sqlceme35.dll, sqlceoledb35.dll, sqlceqp35.dll and sqlcese35.dll, sqlceer35EN.dll - to my bindebug folder.
Now instead of the first error, I get this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I am running Vista Business (x64) and using (the desktop version of) Sql Server Compact Edition 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition. The test 'program' is written in C#. (Incidentally I can play with the database with no problems in Visual Studio 2008's server explorer. I can look at data, add data, etc.)
Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I am a sysadmin (not a DBA by any means!), so just keep that in mind when answering
I was thinking to set up a database mirror with a manual failover for my Business Objects server. The question I have here, is the database name.. how is it kept?
I have three servers right now, all pointing to the same database. Let's call it DatabaseA. If I set up database mirroring (the links I've seen make it seem simple enough), and I fail over, what happens to the servers that have an ODBC entry to DatabaseA? Do I have to repoint them? Or is the identity of the server transferred over as well?
A little information on this would be greatly appreciated. Right now, we are using doubletake to copy over the database dumps on a constant basis, and I thought that database mirroring would be a better solution to my problem. Please let me know! I am quite new to database mirroring, so take it easy with me

I'm designing a database with 3 tables called Function, Test and Scene.
A Function has multiple Tests, but a Test has only one Function. A many to many relationship exists between Test and Scene therefore I need a junction table between these two tables - giving 4 tables in total. The Test table would store a foreign key, the primary key of the Function table.
There is a problem with design though and that is that Functions and Scenes are actually defined before the Test is defined. Therefore it should be possible to create a Function and add to id its Scenes, before Tests have been defined. In other words, Scenes are as much a part of a Function as they are of Tests. Tests are in fact only of relavence to testers. Anyway, to satisfy this scenario, a Junction box is also needed beween Function and Scene. This creates a loop between all tables.
Is this a good approach? Any other suggestions or advice on the matter? Any advice regarding data integrity?
Thanks,
Barry

This is a part of my project and that are my first steps. I just want to know if there is a user with "username" already in the database. The MSDN Documentation says that the ExecuteNonQuery() Method returns the number of affected rows. But if I run this code I always get x=-1. What does that mean ?
using (SqlConnection sqlcon = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["web_db_1"].ConnectionString)) { SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select user_id From users Where username = '" + username + "'", sqlcon); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.Connection.Open(); int x = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Connection.Close(); }
Thanks,

Hi ng,I need some input/suggestions for a very small layout.The situation: Some groupings of thumbnails. For every picture (thumbnail)there is a "big" picture. Thats it basically :) On the front the scenario isthis:A user clicks "Autumn". The user is presented with the "Autumn" thumbnails.If he click a thumbnail, the corresponding big image is displayed. Well, uget the picture :)Hoe is this most efficiently implemented in table-layout? I mean....do Icreate a table called "images" and have a column called "is_thumb"? Or do Ibetter make 2 tables...Or better make a "relation/type" table too?--?Thanks,/Summa
