Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could advise on source code control for SQL Server express, for the table schema and stored procedures?
I currently use Sourcesafe V6 to work with visual studio 6 and 2003 (although it isn't integrated in 2003), and wondered if that can be used?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I see this as a disaster waiting to happen!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We use a lot of stored procedures within our project and I am looking for a source code/versioning control software that can be used with SQL Server 7.0 to track any changes to these stored procedures. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin Wilkinson
Look for recommendations for the best product out there to facilitate both source control and code deployment. Typical features I would be looking for are bullet below:
Control object versions
Tracking
History
Automated feature
Capture database changes
Roll-back feature (should such a thing exist)
Thanks
Hi guys'n'girls...
I currently work for a company where we develop several large ASP.NET applications which are VERY data centric. But lately we have run into a problem on our developer DB...
On the project I am working on we currenctly have approx. 10 developers working concurrently on the database. That means that we often run into errors caused by two developers working on the same stored procedure, function or trigger so the developer who adds his changes last, overwrites the modifications done by the other developer. The obvious answer is source control for the db, but as far as I can tell this is only available for stored procedures and not for functions or triggers... And even the stored procedure solution isn't very safe because it only works if every developer is editing the procedures through VS.
So what do we do? There must be some solution to this problem... And I'm pretty convinced that we are not the first company to face this problem. Are we doing it the wrong way or do you know another solution?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I am a newbie in using ASP.NET 2.0 and ADO.NET. I wrote a hangman game and want to record statistics at the end of each game. I will create and update records in the database for each authenticated user as well as a record for the Anonymous, unauthenticated user. After a win or loss has occurred, I want to programmatically use the SQLDataSource control to increment the statistics counters for the appropriate record in the database (note I don't want to show anything or get user input for this function).
I need a VB.NET codebehind example that will show me how I should set up the parameters and update the appropriate record in the database. Below is my code. What happens now is that the program chugs along happily (no errors), but the database record does not actually get updated. I have done many searches on this forum and on the general Internet for programmatic examples of an update sequence of code. If there is a tutorial for this online or a book, I'm happy to check it out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have built a page with the login control using the default sql server express database that is integrated into the application. I have got it working on my development machine and want to post it on the web with a web hosting company. I did not know if they had to have sql server express installed on that machine for my database to work properly or will it work with sql server 2005 installed. Most web hosting companies that I have called say they only support sql server 2005 and not sql server express. I was unsure if the login would work or not. Please help with this issue. I am new at ASP.net and really enjoy it. However, I want to ensure that my site will work on the web as it does on my machine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI attached a SQL database called Cars, using the following code:
Code Block
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT *
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'Cars'
)
CREATE DATABASE Cars
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = 'C:DataServer FilesCars.mdf')
FOR ATTACH
GO
I then detached the database using:
Code Block
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'Cars'
,@skipchecks = 'true'
,@KeepFulltextIndexFile = 'true'
GO
I then copied the .mdf and .ldf to another folder, using Windows Explorer.
I then attached the database using the new folder name in my code.:
Code Block
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT *
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'Cars'
)
CREATE DATABASE Cars
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = 'C:DataNew FolderCars.mdf')
FOR ATTACH
GO
Now when I go to update my table, I see that I am hitting the .mdf in the new folder.
And, when I do my table updates, I see that I am hitting the .ldf in the old folder.
Two questions:
1. What did I do wrong, that updates are hitting the new .mdf, but the old .ldf?
2. How do I control what .ldf SQL Express uses?
I see references to 'SQL Server Agent' in the help pages, but do not see 'SQL Server Agent' within the application.
I see the reference to the old folder path, within the 'Database Properties Files page', but no possibity to edit the value.
Suppose I check "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" as one of the prerequisites for a custom app in a Windows Setup project.
From reading whatever docs I could get my hands on, it's still not clear to me how to control the installation of SQL Server Express with respect to things like instance name, service account, etc, etc.
In other words, this is stuff that's normally the domain of template.ini. However, there's no clear indication of where I should put template.ini so that the install of "prerequisite" SQL Server Express will see it and configure accordingly...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this...

Is anybody aware of how I can audit redundant Stored Procedures [SP] out of a large application. I only have the SQL-Server (no Sourcesafe/CVS). I need to know when an SP was last accessed. There are over seven hundered SPs.

I am working with Telerik's new rad grid that is helping us speed up our development process. I also have a VB code behind page for the aspx form that does my sql database connection and statements. From the aspx form I also have a user control. The user control allows me to format my edit area within the rad grid in html and asp.net which allows me full control. This user control is an ascx page referenced in my aspx form. I know this is getting confusing so let me get to the point. My control page has an button with CommandName="Update". The vb codebehind for this page looks like:
Imports SystemImports System.DataImports System.CollectionsImports System.Web.UIImports System.Data.SqlClientImports Telerik.QuickStartImports Telerik.WebControlsPartial Class UserDetailsInherits System.Web.UI.UserControlSub Btn_Update(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.ClickDim MySqlConnection As New SqlConnection("Data Source=")Dim UserAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM WebUsers", MySqlConnection)Dim UserDT As DataTable = New DataTable()UserAdapter.UpdateCommand = New SqlCommand("UPDATE [Users] SET [UserName] = @OldUserName, [Comments] = @OldComments WHERE [UserID] = @OldUserID", MySqlConnection)UserAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.Int, 5, "UserID")UserAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@OldUserName", SqlDbType.Char, 5, "UserName")UserAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@OldComments", SqlDbType.Char, 5, "Comments")UserAdapter.Fill(UserDT)MySqlConnection.Close()TryMySqlConnection.Open()UserAdapter.Update(UserDT)Catch ex As ExceptionFinallyMySqlConnection.Close()End TryEnd SubEnd Class
The line of code for the button is:
<asp:button id="btnUpdate" text="Update" runat="server" CommandName="Update" OnClick="Btn_Update"></asp:button>
I know there is some simple logic error I have. The page isn't erroring, and there doesn't look like a problem but we aren't able to update the database. I know the button click event gets to the code because we plugged a msg box in there and it appeared, twice I might add, which i don't know about either. Can anyone help us make this darn thing update??? What logic are we missing?
Thanks!!!

Thanks.
Hi all,
I'm in need of a source control system that integrates with the Management Studio so that every time i want to modify a table, view, procedure etc I have to check it out from the object explorer and then check it back in again. I have used Visual Source Safe before but never with a database...is it fully integrated with SSMS? What can I do to make this work as smoothly as possible?
Is there any other IDE that handles this better than SSMS?

Why can't another developer check out SSIS packages from source control in TFS. I have given the developer all the permissions out there. I was the one who had created an SSIS solution/project local on my machine and then added to source control in TFS under the teamproject. The developer can do everything except in the source control explorer, everything is grayed out. I know you can set up permissions in source control explorer, and I have done that. but still no luck. Can it be related to workspace. When I open the Souce control explorer, in the workspace, I see the name of my local machine. should it be different. or is something else an issue.
Please advice.
Thank you.
I was having one package which uses a source query in OLEDB Source Control and fetches the record and a couple of lookups and then an oledb command to insert/update the records in the table using as SP. I changed the source query(Infact the package) and removed in lookup and a different SP was called similar to the old one. But my problem is the package which was before taking only minutes to update 50,000 records is now taking more than 2 hrs. The problem is the number of records it is fetching from the source each time is very less.. its fetching hardly 500 records a time compared to nearly 2500 records before. Where am i going wrong? Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Hello SQL Server Community.
I'm looking for a way to keep my database in Subversion so I can maintain it in source control.
Seems like the best way to do this would be to dump the database to a text script file. This works fine for creating the database structure and managing those change, however, that database structure is useless without the actual data in the tables.
Is there a good way to generate the inserts for the actual data? Why isn't this an option in the script wizard.
Also, does anyone have a better idea of source control of SQL Server databases in Subversion?
Thanks,
Ryan.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur team has the following problem:
I create a SSIS project in VS and add it to Team Source Control. When the project and all it's files exist on a machine and I want to open the project from Source Control, everithing works fine, but when another developer, who doesn't have the files on his machine, wants to open the project from Source Control he is required to check out the project file.
I've investigated the problem and found out that each project has a database file (with .database extension) and project file contains a reference to it. Once the user opens from Team Source Control a project that isn't presented on a target machine, the VS creates a new database file on a local machine and insists to change the reference in the project file.
Does anyone have a workaround for the problem?
Thanks
Hi
We have encountered a problem using source control with reporting services. Im writing this post to find out whether we are doing something wrong, or reporting service just don't store everything in source control.
My problem is as follows.
My collegue creates a report with a dataset and this report contains several parameters. He tests this, deploys it, and checks it into the source control through Visual Studio.
The following day I get responsibility to alter something in this report. I checks out everything from source control, starts Visual Studio. But... A few important things are missing. The credentials for the dataset for once (this is a minor issue) since these might not should be stored in source control anyways. What is worse is that all the parameter settings are missing. What was entered was a query to a stored procedure where e.g 5 parameters in the report was mapped to parameters in the stored procedure. Now the query has been changed to text type, and the parameter mapping is missing.
This does make it impossible to cooperate on creating reports. If I now make a change in the parameter configuration, my collegue won't receive this when synchronizing source control, and the risk of deploying something incorrect is too high.
Can anyone help enlighten us. Are we doing something wrong? Is there some manual step that needs to be done to ensure that everything is stored in source control? Or is it just something we have to live with, not being able to trust source control when doing Reporting Services?
Best regards
/Anders

Hi I am trying to open a database connection to a Northwind database. I can open it with a datasource control and return data to a gridview, but can't programically. I get a sqlexception error. this is ust for learning.
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim S As New SqlConnection Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder("Data Source") = ".SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:SQLNORTHWND.MDF" builder("Integrated Security") = True builder("Connect Timeout") = 30 builder("User Instance") = True S.ConnectionString = builder.ConnectionString Me.Label1.Text = S.ConnectionString S.Open() Me.Label2.Text = S.State.ToString S.Close() Me.Label3.Text = Me.SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString.ToString End Sub
The text in label2 and Label three are identical except there are "" around the datasource.
How come I can connect through the datasource control but not through code?
I have an ASP page which uses an SQL data source control, as shown below: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="mySQL" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:mySQLConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT device FROM device_table WHERE (device_id IN (@devicelist))"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="" Name="devicelist" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>The problem is getting the "IN" clause of the select statement to work via the ASP page with code behind in C#. If I test the query in the page designer when configuring the SQL control by inserting 'device-1','device-2','device-3' as the value for the "devicelist" parameter, everything works as expected. However, when that same value is written programmatically into the DefaultValue of the parameter, the resulting query contains no results (as if the string contents are invalid). If I alter my program to supply a single entry (with no commas) it seems to work as well. I suspect the comma (and possibly the single-quote) characters in my string when multiple entries are involved are causing the issue.Is there a proper technique for getting the requisite quote-delimited, comma-separated list into the SQL control command parameter correctly? Should I be using some sort of escape sequence for the single-quote and comma characters? Should I be using another "type" for the parameter; one that accepts an array of entries? I have not been able to find any examples or documentation that provides an answer.

I am interested to know what ideas people might have in relation to the best way to structure/setup up an app that can connect to either an SQL Server Express DB or a Compact 3.5 DB. I have a small app that can be networked but a lot of people wont want a networkable version so I dont want them downloading an app that is 4mb but requires a 35mb SQL Express install just to get it to attach to what amounts to a local DB.
Both the System.Data.SQLClient and System.Data.sqlce namespaces include classes that share at least some (I haven't checked them all) classes that inherit from the same base class i.e. SQLConnection and SQLCeConnection both inherit DBConnection from System.Data.Common. so I am wondering if there is a tricky way that I can reduce my overall code overhead (mainly things like if statements to check which DB connection we want) by up casting both connections and managing them as DBConnections but at this stage I cant come up with one.
An in important point with this is that I intend to write SQL statements that are compatable with both SQL Express and SQL Compact, my DV structure is sufficiently simple enough that I can put up with the odd "wordy" SQL statement in favour of trying to use stored procedures and views in Express and then not being able to use them in Compact.

I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express, Windows XP SP2. I connect using Windows authentication.
The data source that I'm trying to hit is on a remote server. It's an OpenLink ODBC Data source, and the server is in another location. SQL Server 2005 Express and the ODBC connection are both installed/configured locally on my machine.
I can connect to the remote server. The DSN exists as a System DSN.
The DSN has its own proprietary configuration utility, which I can configure so that the server name is XPLILLEYGSQLEXPRESS. The configuration utility doesn't care; I connect successfully one way or the other.
When I open Management Studio Express, I can see my database (CMS) listed under the "Databases" folder, but there's no tables in there, other than the system tables.
So my question is, what am I missing?
Thanks
