Hi,
I want a few tips on how to go about designing a schema for multi parent hierarchical tree structure.
Will this work in large scale, like Social Networking
how do we generally go about designing for Social Networks?
What could be the optimal architecture?

Hello..
I want to upgrade my website to asp.net 2.0 and I want to add a Daily news to website.and 10 to 15 news will be added daily , so after a year we have almost 4000 entry in the database.
For designing this DB what is your advice on how to store news in database?Is it better to create same tables for each year ? for exampletblNews_2005tblNews_2006
Or just to make one table and have all news stored in that ? its gonna be huge after years , isnt that make any problems?
ThanksRegards.
Hi, i have a data base in SQL 2005 and i it has many tables with confidencial information Like Social Security numbers, Credit card Numbers, etc. And i would like to encrypt this information or make something to make this info invisible to any hacker, or any person that logs on the server.
Here are the limitations:
1 - I cant make any changes in the front end, so if i encrypt the data, I have to make all the modifications in the database, and if the front end needs some encrypted information, the database should dencrypt it.
Any one has any idea ???
Best Regards.
Hi,
Im developing a social network, and need your opinion for the right approach.
The basic structure of the my network is:
1. Users
2. Groups
Each user can be related to other users in two ways:
1. They are "Friends"
2. They belong to the same group.
when a user details displayed in the website - through Search results, profile page, forums....etc - ,
there are some actions you can perform - Send him a message, Invite to event and more.
Users can define in their account settings, who will be allowed to perform this actions.
1. Everyone
2. Only my friends
3. My friends and my groups member
What is the best way to enforce this privacy rules with a good performance ?
Thanks for any reply.
I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express to run a social networking website on a dedicated server (Windows Server 2003, code is written in ASP.net). Obviously express is too limited to run this site, but for now I am still getting the site operational so the demands are low. Soon I will begin advertising and adding many users to the site - can anyone recommend a version of SQL Server that I would need? My programmers say I should go with enterprise, but that seems overkill (and my hosting provider - theplanet.com does not even offer it). Would workgroup be enough, or should I go with standard edition?
To be honest I do not trust my programmers experience with SQL server which is why I am asking for help here (they are outsourced from India, and I am becoming more and more convinced that I need an onshore IT manager for them - finding that is another issue...). Also, are there built in backup features with SQL Server? My programmers told me recently that they will need to put in significant work to setup a backup system, but it seems to me like one might already be built in.
Thanks for your help,
Greg

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!
I created the db with the attached script and I am able to access ituntil I reboot the server. I've tried enabling flag 1807 via the SQLserver service and the startup parameters of the instance. In allcases the database always come up suspect after a reboot. There wasone instance where I was able to recover, but I am not sure how thathappened.Does anyone have an idea of how I can reboot the server without thedatabase becomming suspect?USE MASTERGODBCC TRACEON(1807)GO--DBCC TRACEOFF(1807)--DBCC TRACESTATUS(1807)GOCREATE DATABASE ReadyNAS ON( NAME = ReadyNAS_Data,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Data.mdf',SIZE = 100MB,MAXSIZE = 20GB,FILEGROWTH = 20MB)LOG ON ( NAME = ReadyNAS_Log,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Log.ldf',SIZE = 20MB,MAXSIZE = 100MB,FILEGROWTH = 10MB)

Scenario: In general user will take database backup from database server to local system. User perform some changes to his local database based on his requirement. Again user connects to database server and click on update, local database should update to server database by informing each record status to the user. ex: record 1 updated / call closed do you want to update?
Here local database is going to be Pocket pc database and server database is on SQLDatabase. Can any one suggest best way to implement this feature in Windows Pocket pc, c#. I would appreciate your reply.
Thanks,
I actually work in an organisation and we have to find a solution about the data consistancy in the database. our partners use to send details to the organisation and inserted directly in the database, so we want to create a new database as a buffer database to insert informations from the partners then make an update to the main database. is there a better solution instead of that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello all,
We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
MM_connSpankMSSQL_STRING = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_IP,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ourmaindb_1;User ID=ourmaindb_1;Password=hotcookies;"
%>
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Should have 330 rows if it works right.
Hi
While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears.
Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.

Hello everyone,I have a webcontrol that uses database-structures alot, it uses the system tables in SQL to read column information from tables. To ease the load of the SQL server I have a property that stores this information in a cache and everything works fine.I am doing some research to find if there are anyway to get information from the SQL server that the structure from a table has changed.I want to know if a column or table has changed any values, like datatype, name, properties, etc.Any suggestions out there ?!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'msure lots have you have done this before in some form or another).At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in acolumn of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimitedtext. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaningtowards putting 2 nullable Value fields:ValueLong ntext nullableValueShort nvarchar(4000) nullableand dynamically storing the info in one or the other depending on thesize. ASP.NET does this exact very thing in it's Session State model;look at the ASPStateTempSessions table. This table has both aSessionItemShort of type varbinary (7000) and a SessionItemLong of typeImage.My question is, is it better to user varbinary (7000) and Image? I'mthinking maybe I should go down this path, simply because ASP.NET does,but I don't really know why. Does anyone know what would be the benifitof using varbinary and Image datatypes? If it's just to allow saving ofbinary data, then I don't really need that right now (and I don't thinkASP.NET does either). Are there any other reasons?thanks,dave

I use sqlclient to connect directly from my mobile 5 pocketpc to a sql server 2005 database on my desktop.
I use a sqldatareader to traverse the results of a query that delivers 2 fields: (1) the filespec, and (2) the image field.
I use a filestream with a binary writer to write the contents of the image data to the pocketpc's storage card.
I have a test table with 10 images, not one more than 4 MB. I cannot complete a test run prior to receiving the general network error.
The pocketPC is connected via activesync to the desktop, and I connect to the database with:
Integrated Security=false;
user id=sa
password=admin.
Any help with this strange error would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I need help with the setup of my sql server express 2005 and more specifically, with the location of the database files. Normally, database files are located on the c: drive. In my situation, being in a high school environnement, I need to have the database files on the network drive ... lets call it g:drive. The reason why it cannot be on c:drive is because this drive is protected using DeepFreeze. Now, I was able to change the location of the new drive as I went into the properties window of the sql server instance but when I try to create this new database, sql gives me grief ;-|
I am from the group of people that thinks that to anything, there is a solution and am hoping that to this problem, there is hope of a solution.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Hello!
I have a Java application that gains access to a SQL database using:
connection="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/databasename;user="+user+";password="+password;
//Load and register SQL Server driver
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
//Establish the connection
conn=DriverManager.getConnection(temp);
When I distribute this application throughout the local network, what would the jdbc url be for the application to find the SQL server?
Should I replace "localhost:1433" with something else?
The instance of SQL server is called SQLExpress.
I have my computer name, computer domain, ip address etc.
Is the port 1433 still the same?
How could the SQL database be located throughout the network?
Any advice appreciated.
I am here in a peculiar situtation i am not very sure the problem which i am facing as of know is a Database or Network.
One of our organisation application is connected to SQLServer 2005 (clustered) database was working fine before few days back we gone though a windows 2003 server patch update activity and server was restarted and a failover occured.
The day patch activity is done we are facing data loss problem over the network.
Checked the SQLServer2005 ErrorLog but no error related to database.
Few user are facing problem as mentioned below
Error : Checknetwork Documentation
Search the net but no satisfactory answer.
Please help me with a resolution or work around.
One more Issue :
While pinging the server some time we get request Time out.This Request time out is for 1 ms.
Do this also effects the thick client application connectivity with the Database.

When I try to create a new database on a network path, I get the following error:
"\server est estdatabase.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.
Am I trying something that isn't possible? Should databases always be stored on the server PC running SQL (Express)?
I'm using Visual Basic Express and SQL Express (installed on a local PC not the server, so the connectionstring is ".SQLEXPRESS"), TCP/IP is enabled.

This is regarding general protection of a database hosted on a network. I am developing a database application for my college library using VB.NET, that will reside on a network.
For some reasons, I did not want to hardcode the Database location in the application. Instead, when a user logs in, he can choose the database location using a folder browser control, if the location has changed.
Now, I realize that for this, I have to put the database in a shared folder, which makes it quite vulnerable. Having pondered over the problem for sometime, a solution that comes to my mind is to place a Text file in the same shared folder that always contains the correct path of the database. When a user chooses that folder, I will read the actual path of the database from the text file, and move the database to a non-shared folder.
I haven't yet implemented this approach, but felt it better to consult someone before. So, would this approach work, and is it a good idea.
For information purposes, I consider it important to mention that the database is in MS Access. I know this is not a place for discussing it, but this is a general security concern. So, I thought
people would not mind answering it....
