Sql Server Setup Advice Sought
Jan 4, 2008
Hi there,
I've been using Sql Server for my development for perhaps two years. My systems have experienced crashes, I switched from XP to Vista, it crashed again because of malware, etc. In short I have installed and reinstalled the Sql Server Express quite a few times. In the meantime my databases have been growing. So far I've had my development only on one desktop but now I am expecting a new DELL Dimention top of the line machine and I want to switch some of the development over there.
This is the scoop. I need to make numerous improvements in my databases to increase performance, sometimes you add a column or delete one from a table, etc. At the same time the data is being collected. I want to have my Sql DBs set up on one machine and be able to work on another and grab the data, etc. In other words I want to start doing some networking which so far I've done only on a limited basis just for file transfer and printing.
I have no clear image as to how it should be arranged. If I leave my Sql Server DBs on one machine and start using them on another one, do I have to have a new client set up?
Perhaps I need to have another instance set up also or is it the same?
In one of the prior installation which is now in my WIndows.old folder I have 3 Sql Server instance folders: MSSQL1, MSSQL2, MSSQL3. for some reason in this latest installation I got only one folder: MSSQL1. Shall I copy two other folders (MSSQL2 and MSSQL3) from Windows.old to this new Program FilesMicrosoft Sql Server 2005 folder or not?
Two of my machines that will access the databases will be at my office connected via a 10/100/1000 switch but the third one will be home. It will be connected via Vista Computer Name service (Telnet I presume) and I have a high speed cable to the server.
This is the setup as clear as I can see it now. Depending on the answers I get I may come back with some more questions.
Many thanks.

My batches need to have some sequential ids added to them. These ids need to be system-wide.
Here is example input data. I am given the first two cols and need to generate the third:
Code Snippet
Row RowType ID
A LN LN1001
B LN LN1002
C TR TR2001
D LN LN1003
E TR TR2002
F TR TR2003
There is no relation between Row and ID except for the sequence of the records.
I have a table that looks like this:
Code Snippet
RowType MaxID
LN 1003
TR 2003
and that is where I go to get/update my latest id. (SELECT ? = MaxID = MaxID + 1 Where RowType = 'TR')
My question is this:
I will probably use a script step to do the work of obtaining and applying a new row id to each row. How do I run the requisite SQL from within a script step? Or is there a better way of doing it?

First, let me apologise, I tried to search for the answer to this, but the search wouldn't work for me, and other searches on the web have come up empty.I'm just about to move my asp.net/SQL 2k website to dedicated hosting, and as our budget isn't so big, we can't afford two servers, thus both the web-server and SQL server need to be on the same machine.My question is, what would people recommend for the software setup? The server is speced as follows:- Pentium 4 3ghz- 2gb ram- 15gb primary partition- 100gb secondary partition- 250gb sata secondary drive- Windows Server 2003 SEThe storage arrangement is dictated by the host, as they supply and setup the server. I have no control over this.I was thinking about putting SQL Server 2k Ent on the secondary partition, and the website on the secondary drive. I'm not sure about what to set SQL Server's memory configuration to, as I've always just worked with both the webserver and sql server on the same machine, with dynamic memory allocaton for sql server, in my development environments, with no problem, but also with no load.What would be the best compromise considering the requirements here? I appreciate that having a machine dedicated for SQL Server is best, but I can't do that here, yet. Any help humbly appreciated!

My dataset looks like this:2 groups (G1 and G2) of 4 items eachGroup G1 containsid valueA1 9A2 7B1 3B2 2Group G2 containsid valueA3 9A4 7B2 1B3 0I would like a query that returns the item(s) with the lowest valuewith the restriction that if taht item is in multiple groups it musthave teh lowest value in each group (or be tied for the lowest)B2 in group 1 has a value of 2 (the lowest in that group), but itsalso in group 2 and has a value (1) that is not the lowest in thatgroup (even though its lower than in group 1)The above is a simplification, as there will be several groups, eachwith up to 10 items.There are perhaps 10 groups and 50 items max.How can I write this query other than through a set of whilestatements and temp tables that are iteratively built up?Thank you for any ideas

Hi,Env: MS SQL Server 2000DB Info (sorry no DDL nor sample data):tblA has 147249 rows -- clustered index on pk (one key ofdatatype(int)) andhas two clumns, both are being used in joins;intersecTbl4AB has 207016 rows -- clustered index on two fks andthis intersection table has six colums but only the two fks are beingused for joins;tblB has 117597 rows -- clustered index on pk (one key ofdatatype(bigint)) andhas four columns but only its key are being used for joinsA complex query involving the above the three tables includes innerand outer joins, aggregate, sorting, predicate, math function, derivedtable etc.On the first run, the query takes about 4200ms to finish;after some research on index optimization, I provided some index hint,then the query runs atabout 3000ms. (That was yesterday).Just now I realized that MS SQL Server 2000 is quite "intelligent", Ithink it saves search termsinto cache because the second time search of the a same term is muchmuch faster. Now, a couple of questions:a) if I construct a long long list of "common" terms andprogrammatically let the sql server to cache them would it speed upthe overal query performance in my case? (Or it may depend on thequality of the "common" terms?) and if your answer is yes (supposedlyyou've been there, do you have to know where I could find such a"common" term list, for everyday life or the general public?)b) what other techniques out there to speed up the above describedquery? Bring it down to 1000ms would be most desirable.Thanks.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.

Hi,
I am currently creating an application that requires the use of Pocket
PC/PDA. The same application that runs on the desktop is to be run on
the mobile device metioned above. I am confused as to which of the
following combination servers i should use.
Option1)
Desktop - SQL Server Express Edition (Multi-user)
Mobile Device - SQL Sever Compact Edition
OR
Option 2)
Desktop - SQL Sever Compact Edition
Mobile Device - SQL Sever Compact Edition
To my understanding, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition on both my
desktop and mobile device, when i need to synchronise, the entire
database from the mobile device is copied over to the desktop and vice-
versa. However, I prefer only modified data to be synchornized. Can I
achieve it with the second option? Is it also possible with the first option? Please advice. Thank You
Regards,

hi, I have total 45 GB of data in the following servers ( 40 GB in sql server 6.5, 5GB in ftp server). both servers are in one machine(server). I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing for backup. The machine is not connected to a Lan. What is the best way to insure that my data are backed up safely?
what I am thinking of doing is to back up the database to using sql tools in the menu bar, that will backup the data to the same machine in this directory:
c:mssqlackupDBname.DAT
I will do this for all database in the sql server. Am I save to do this... I am wondering what IF the machine in which both severs are in crashed. My backup effort will be lost too. right. so what is the best way to protect my data. Do I need to buy a tape backup so I can do what I am doing Plus back up the c:mssqlackupDBname.DAT to the tape backup... I would really appreciate any suggestion in choosing any media (software/ hardware)to back up my data.
Thanks

I'm looking to purchase new server hardware that will host my corporate intranet and a sql server instance. In most cases I can't see this server being hit by more than 20 or 30 users but I want it to be quick. I'm planning on running Server 2003 with sql server 2k and the intranet on IIS.
What I'm not sure about is the single vs dual processor and the RAM. How valuable is the dual proc? And the RAM, I plan on 1.5 GB but I wonder what the benefits are beyond that.
Perhaps with this many users it doesn't make that much difference but I can see adding more load.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've got a situation where I need to regularly (maybe each month), detach a DB, copy its files from their highspeed SAN location to a slower NAS, then re-attach it and make it available on-line. We're doing this for our DB's as they age to > 3 years.
Just wondering if any of you have scripts you can point me to so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Also, after you re-attach, how do you verify the NAS DB is 100% ok before deleting the original from its SAN location?
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Isaac

Hi
We currently have a Server:
Dual Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz
4 GB ram
(C) 2x18 GB SCSI disks RAID 1 for OS
(D) 4x72 GB SCSI disks RAID 5 for Data
The server is running:
Windows 2003 + IIS (Single web application)
Tomcat (Single web application) (Is about to be outfased)
MS SQL 2005 (In simple recovery mode)
The C-driver is currently only used for OS and applications
The D-driver is holding all data + SQL Data files and SQL Transaction files...
E.g.
- SQL Data files = 7 GB
- SQL Transaction files = 20 GB
- Image liberary = 100 GB
- Other = 15 GB
The IIS uses around 768 MB ram for cashing and execution of the web application
The Tomcat uses around 350 MB ram
The SQL is the to use a max of 2.2 GB ram (and 1024 MB pr. query)
(Leaving around 512 MB ram left)
There is only one database installed on the SQL, but it is very large (+15 mill records)
We are currently doing Free-Text searches in one table (~3.5 mill records), and it is to slow.
So the question is what is the best way to gain performance...
- Increase to 8 GB ram?
- Purchase a new server as webserver, so the curr. server can be dedicated as SQL?
- Attach a NAS to split the SQL files into several groups, and seperate transaction logs from data?
(6 disks are max in curr. server)
Economy has to be considered :)
Thanx!

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me here as i'm struggling to find any information elsewhere on the net. We have recently purchased a new server, the rough specs are:
2 X Quad-Core Xeon E7320 2.13GHz 4Mb Cache
32Gb PC2-5300 DDR II RAM
We are planning to install the 64 Bit version of SQL Server 2005. We want to use the server for a number of purposes.
Building and weekly processing of 2 complex data marts (approx size is 1Tb each)
Processing and querying of 2 Analysis Services databases that will be built from these data marts. These will be queried by no more than about 15 users (no more than about 5 simultaneously).
Relational querying of the data marts themselves (same users as above)
My problem is that I am not sure of the best way to configure SQL Server. Should I use 2 separate instances? How should the processors/memory be shared between SQL Server/Analysis Services? My main priority is the performance of the OLAP querying. However, I also want the weekly processing and any ad-hoc SQL querys run against the marts to be efficient.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David.

Hi,
I know it's bad to use the built-in SA account to access SQL Server from my ASP.NET application.
I did some reading but would like some suggestions as well. One article I read talked about Application roles in SQL Server. Is this the best way to handle SQL Server access for read/write/update/delete privileges from an ASP.NET application?
If this is the way to go, how do I set it up? Can anyone suggest a good web site to read up on this?

I'm looking for configuration advice for a SQL Server. I have thefollowing hardware to work with:1 Dell P4 2.66 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM and a 40GB IDE drive2 Seagtate Barracuda 4.55GB SCSI drives (ST34572W) in an external bay1 Adaptec 2940UW SCSI ControllerWindows 2000 Advanced ServerMSSQL 2000 EnterpriseThe PC will strictly be a SQL Server only - no IIS or FTP or otherservices. It will host about 8-10 databases that service a departmentof 300 people. My plan is to install W2K and MSSQL on the PC's IDEhard drive and configure the identical SCSI Barracudas as a mirroredvolume to host the databases (MDF/LDFs).Will there be any performance problems installing MSSQL Server on theIDE drive while the MDF/LDFs are on the SCSI drives? From aperformance standpoint, would I be better off installing MSSQL Serveron the SCSI drives?

The box that was provided for me to install sql server 2005 (64 bit) standard is setup like this:
c: raid 1 (OS is server 2003 x 64)
d: raid 5 (4 disk)
and 1 extra drive.
What is the best install solution for this configuration
Would it be best to put Sql Server 2005 on the extra drive and the mdf and ldf on the raid 5. Im not to sure.
Box is made, and I know ideally would be to place the ldf and mdf on there own Raid 10. This is for a ecommerce site.'

Hi, i was after some advice on moving a SQL Server 2000 database from one server to another.
Usually i would do this by backing up the database on the original server the copying it accross the LAN to the new server and restoring it there. This database is 10Gb in size and copying it accross the LAN will take some time and i would like to minimise downtime if possible. The database is at a customer site where i am not responsible for the network or Hardware.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,I'm looking into offering a custom data driven web app that I wrote for an organization that I'm apart of to other similar organizations. I would be hosting the data and web application code on my dedicated server. This application is using the membership api supplied in .NET 2.0 and also has my own custom data tables within it.My question is what would be the best way to add clients to this? Should I simply create a new database for each new client like so: ACME_Database, ABC_Database, AAA_Database etc. Or should I add some sort of client "Tag" (tag meaning column within each datatable) to these databases and then update my SQL queries to process them accordingly. I imagine I could do both but I guess I need some advice from people that already had experiance with providing this kind of service. Thanks!Jason

We have a 3 month old quad processor/dual core server running SQLServer 2005 and already it is getting close to hitting the CPU wall.An 8 way CPU box is prohibitively expensive and out of the question. Iam looking desperately for a way to TRULY scale out SQL server...in thesame way that IIS can be scaled out via App Center.The "in the box" solution for SQL Server 2005 scaling out is the DMV.Unfortunately this solution makes the system less available rather thanmore (one server outage takes them all out for that table) and requiresserious rearchitecting of the software to use. Contrast this to IISand AppCenter where each added server makes the system more available,and requires no rearchitecting to work.Before someone says "what you want can't be done in adatabase"...Oracle has an application server middleware product thatlets you do both of the above. Just plug a new server with Oracle onit, and you've doubled your capacity. But SQL Server 2005 doesn't yethave a similar capability.So I read with great interest the following article that talks aboutwhy this is the case with SQL Server. There are two issues that makeit very difficult to do:http://www.sql-server-performance.c...ability_availab...You can create a crude pool using replication, but the performancetimes look horrendous.However, the article also talks about the latest developments in thisfield...specifically MIDDLEWARE that can create a scale out solutionthat is more available and that requires simply adding new servers toscale up.I found two companies which seem to offer this new capability:http://www.metaverse.cc/newsevents.asp?cid=17999andhttp://www.pcticorp.com/product.aspxBoth companies appear to have patents or a patent pending on theprocess. I tried to contact metaverse but got no reply, despite theirrecent press release. I just emailed Pcticorp today to see if I couldlearn more about their product.My question for this group is:Does anyone have experience with either of the two products (or anyothers that provide this capability)?Many thanks in advance for your help.Ian Ippolitohttp://www.rentacoder.com

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.

We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

I've been using SQL Server 2005 Std. for my development work on a laptop w/ 2 GHz Celeron and 768 Mb RAM. Now that Express Edition has Reporting Services and Full-Text Search, would I be wise to just use it instead? I actually have both on my machine since Express Edition installed with VS 2005 Standard. Also, if I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Std. what will I lose? Thanks in advance.

I am not new to the SQL Server world, but am somewhat new to the SQL Server 2005 world. I am just getting into the reporting tool. By just messing around for about an hour or so, I was able to get what I wanted somewhat. Basically, I'd like to get up to speed on the reporting side of things fairly quickly. So I am looking at some books, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any.
Here is a few that caught my eye:
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Brian Larson
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for Dummies
-Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Paul Turley
-The Rational Guide to SQL Server Reporting Services
I am thinking the 1st two would probably be my best bet, but wanted to get you folks suggestions.
Let me know as soon as you can as I am planning on going to the book store tonight or this weekend.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hello. I am not very strong with SQL server. But I know enough to get my way around. The reason I am asking forhelp is that I need to change a SQL server script that resides on one of the production database servers of thecompany I work for. I just need to add two new lines to the stored procedure.(See the lines that are bolded.) Thesevalues are [MO_FAX],[MO_EMAIL].
Can someone tell me if there is a best way of going about doing this? Can I just simply open up SQL server and quickly make the change? The big issue here is that this script is used in production. So I am just a little worriedabout screwing something up. Anyway, I would appreciate some good advice on this?
/* Returns all data given the region and country */ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetAllInfomration]

I am currently working on a PHP based website that needs to be able to drawfrom Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL and given time and demand other RDBMS. Itook a lot of time and care creating a flexible and solid wrapper and amdeep into coding. The only problem is a noticed VARCHAR fields being drawnfrom SQL Server 2000 are being truncated to 255 characters.I searched around php.net and found the following :Note to Win32 Users: Due to a limitation in the underlying API used by PHP(MS DbLib C API), the length of VARCHAR fields is limited to 255. If youneed to store more data, use a TEXT field instead.(http://www.php.net/manual/en/functi...ield-length.php)The only problem with this advice is Text fields seem to be limited to 16characters in length, and I am having similar results in terms of truncationwith other character based fields that can store more than 255 characters.I am using PHP 4.3.3 running on IIS using the php_mssql.dll extensions andthe functions referenced here http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php.What are my options here? Has anybody worked around this or am I missingsomething obvious?James

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

That is, it proceeds with the installation of SQL Server Database Serices and at the end fails to shut down the SQL Server and aborts the installation reporting the following:

- the setup starts AND STOPS w/out any problems SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server VSS Writer (thus finding enough privileges for both).
- the setup starts the SQL Server w/out any problems (thus it finds enough privileges to START A SYSTEM SERVICE) and then fails as described above 'lucking privileges".
During installation before failing the setup displays following:
"Run as Normal User. RANU instance Shutdwon in progress: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS". The "normal user" puzzles me too, unless the SQL Server itself is meant here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can provide the installation log file as well.
Thanks.
