I have implemented a caching strategy using the sqlcachedependency and sql server 2005 backend using the broker service.
This works fine and well when i am connecting to the SQL Server 2005 under service account that is in the role db_owner. In a production enivironment i am reluctant to do this so i created another service account that only has execute permissions on the stored procedures.
When i use this limited service account for my ASP.net web application, the broker service does not send any messages to the web app to invalid the cache. When checking the event log and SQL profiler i get errors all relating to the user not having access to the SqlQueryNotificationService queue. So i did a lot of googling and tried running the grant scripts below with no luck using this limited service account. Keep in mind everything works fine if i use an account with db_owner priviledges.
These are the grants i have tried based on numerious articles
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT CREATE QUEUE TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT CREATE SERVICE TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT RECEIVE ON QueryNotificationErrorsQueue TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT REFERENCES ON CONTRACT::[http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostQueryNotification] TO three_d_ss_login
These are the grants i have tried that does not work
GRANT SEND ON SERVICE::SqlQueryNotificationService TO three_d_ss_login
GRANT RECEIVE on SqlQueryNotificationService_DefaultQueue to three_d_ss_login
Can some one suggest what i need to do to get sqlcacheddependencies to work with a sql2005 backend under a limited priviledged service account?

I've been having trouble getting the SqlCacheDependency to work without polling (which is set up through SqlCacheDependencyAdmin or aspnet_regsql). If you check out the documentation it says things like: Microsoft:
I have a SQL 2005 database and am running the 2.0 framework. I cannot seem to enable SQL caching on the db. I'm using the command line tool as follows: C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727>aspnet_regsql -S 99.99.999.999 -Uwebteam -P sa -t tblname -d dbname -et Enabling the table for SQL cache dependency. .An error has happened. Details of the exception:The database 'dbname' is not enabled for SQL cache notification. To enable a database for SQL cache notification, please use the System.Web.Caching.SqlCacheDependencyAdmin.EnableNotifications method, or the command line toolaspnet_regsql. To use the tool, please run 'aspnet_regsql.exe -?' for more information. C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727>
I've replaced the ip address, dbname and tblname with ficticious names for obvious reasons here in the post. What command can I enter to enable the database for caching?
Hi, I'm trying to set up a SqlCacheDependency using the Query notifications of SQL Server 2005. I haven't even got to the point of testing the notifications part. My problem is that my DataTable is not even getting stored in the cache when I insert it. The cache seems to be getting invalided as soon as I add the DataTable. Here is my code: (am trying to get a simple example working first)protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable results = (DataTable)HttpRuntime.Cache.Get("supplyFunctions"); if (results == null) { Response.Write("Cache Invalidated, hitting DB. TIME: " + DateTime.Now.ToString()); results = getSupplyFunctions(); } else { Response.Write("got from Cache, TIME: " + DateTime.Now); } GridView1.DataSource = results; GridView1.DataBind(); }private DataTable getSupplyFunctions() { DataTable results = new DataTable(); using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString()) ) { using (SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand()) { command.CommandText = "schema.myStoredProc"; command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; SqlCacheDependency dependency = new SqlCacheDependency(command); SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(); adapter.SelectCommand = command; DataSet dataset = new DataSet(); adapter.Fill(dataset); results = dataset.Tables[0]; HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert("supplyFunctions", results, dependency); }
} return results; } Also, whats weird is that when I keep refreshing the page, after like 5 to 10 minutes it works, and starts caching the data. This disturbs me-- I would like to know what is going on. I am pretty sure my stored procedure doesn't break the rules of the query notifications. Can someone help me out?!??! Thanks!
Hi all,I've been able to successfully use SQLCacheDependency and my test application is using only one database table to test SQLCacheDependency. Now, I was reading "Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0" by Dino Esposito and I've couple of questions.a)-SQLCache will expire on Insert, Update and Delete queries on the database table? Am I right? b)-Right now I'm using SQLCacheDependency on one table, can I use it on more than one table ? If I can't , can you please give me some ideas on how to use SQLCacheDependency on more than one table? c)-Lastly, If large number of clients are using my application, what about the performance gains/losses if I use SQLCacheDependency? I will really appreciate your help. Thanks,Oltmans

If I can't then I will appreciate if you can give me couple of hints as to how to do this.b)-As I understand SQLCache on a table will expire if any Insert and Update SQL operations happen on that table.c)-Our software is being used by many clients. Do you think SQLCacheDependency will have some sort of performance hits?I will really appreciate any help.Thanks,Oltmans
I am using SqlCacheDependency to monitor a database table for changes. Unfortunately, it is polling the table too often and is causing performance issues. It seems to poll at least once a second. So now I'm trying to find a way to adjust it so that it polls about once every 10 seconds.The code that uses the SqlCache Dependency is located in a Class Library Project that is used by my web application project. The code is as follows:// in the class constructorSqlDependency.Start("...some connection string");// in the body of a methodusing (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("...same connection..."){ connection.Open(); SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand(); command.CommandText = query; SqlDependency dependency = new SqlDependency(command); dependency.OnChange += OnDepChange; SqlDataReader data = command.ExecuteReader(); // code that uses the data goes here}public void OnDepChange(object sender, SqlNotificationEventArgs e){ DoSomething();}I did a little searching on the web and noticed that some examples showed that you could adjust the pollTime in the web.config file:<sqlCacheDependency enabled="true" pollTime="30000"> <databases> <add name="Pubs" connectionStringName="PubsConn" /> </databases></sqlCacheDependency>However, as I stated earlier, the code that uses the SqlCacheDependency is located in a Class Library, so this configuration doesn't help me. Is there a way to adjust the pollTime without getting my connection string from the web.config?
I can create a SqlCacheDependency, and link it to a cached item in httpcontext cache. When something change, it will remove the cached item from the cache. I think I have to redo the process when that happens - prepare sql command, create SqlCacheDependency and insert the item into cache. Now I only need a notification from my SQL when something changes in one of my table, I don;t need read anything from db, and I think I should find a way to not recreate the SqlCacheDependency object everytime? any suggestion?
I have some problem with ASP.NET cache, I found other people has similar problem, but I didn't find real solution. The one bother me most is the SQLCacheDependency doesn't work stable. I insert object in cache and has SQLCacheDependency linked. After a period of time, it stopped working. That means the the object is still in cache, but change on db side doesn't remove the cache entry. I am not sure if it is ASP side or SQL side, I feel it is ASP side. I am using 2.0 + SQL 2005. Once the db command notification stop working, you have to restart IIS or clear all items in cache since you don't kno which one is changed. Any suggestion?
I've set up a SqlCacheDependency in my Asp.Net application, but the dependency invalidates the cache immediately every time the page is hit.
I think the problem may be with my SQL Query, but it seems to me to meet the requirements on the Special Considerations When Using Query Notifications page on MSDN. Could someone take a look at this query and tell me if I've done something wrong? Thank you.
Here's my query:

I am using a grid to display the data on my webpage, and I have 3 projects in my solution (UI, BLL, DAL). When I load the webpage I am creating the instance of a class written n my BLL project to populate the data, and in BLL I'm creating the object for the class in DAL and returning the datatable.
Now when I refresh the page using F5, the SQLDependency is working fine. But, when I use the Paging or Sorting option's on my grid I see in SQL Profiler that the query is posted back to the SQLServer to get the data.
If this is the senario then how can I make use of the cache object in .NET 2.0.

I have SQL Server 2005 and I am using .Net 2.0. Is there a way to cache a query, basically I am going to do a SELECT * on a table that is called frequently. I then want to query this DataTable that is in cache. I want to invalidate the cache when the table changes. Everything I have read tells me to use the output caching directive. But, much of what I am doing doesn't end up in the output. Is there a way to invalidate the cache the same way without output caching and using the Service Broker?
I have tried two ways for executing a query and creating a dependency on it, one using plain Sql commands, the other using Enterprise Library wrapped commands.
I keep getting:
Warning: Fatal error 682 occurred at Oct 12 2007 11:01AM. Note the error and time, and contact your system administrator.
string xml = cmd.ExecuteScalar() as string;
When I execute it. Does anyone know what could cause this.
I have read both of these posts and have not yet been able to investigate the SQL machine's event viewer though:
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString)) { SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand( "SELECT Value FROM dbo.ContentXml WHERE [Key] = '" + key + "'", conn);
if (createDependency) { System.Web.Caching.SqlCacheDependency dependency = new SqlCacheDependency(cmd);
result.Dependency = dependency; }
conn.Open();
string xml = cmd.ExecuteScalar() as string;
conn.Close();
result.Content = xml; }
return result;
//SqlCommand cmd = (SqlCommand) // Global.Current.Database.GetSqlStringCommand( // //@"SELECT Value FROM dbo.ContentXml WHERE [Key] = @Key"); // @"SELECT Value FROM dbo.ContentXml WHERE [Key] = '" + key + "'");
I've the following simple code bound to a button on a Web page
string time = (string)Cache["KEY"]; if (time == null) {
SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Server=BIZYUSUFSQL2005;Database=Deneme;User Id=sa;Password=;"); SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(@"select KOLON1 from dbo.CACHE", sqlConnection); sqlConnection.Open();
SqlCacheDependency dependency = new SqlCacheDependency(command); time = System.DateTime.Now.ToString(); Cache.Insert("KEY", time, dependency); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); sqlConnection.Close(); } return time; This code has to return the time value from cache. And when a record is inserted into the CACHE table, the cache item has to be invalidated and the new time value has to be returned. The code works properly for 2-3 minutes. But when there is no activity for 5 minutes, the cache invalidation does not work anymore.
do we have to create connection and assign it to command object before creating SqlCacheDepency? chek the code below. SqlServer is not invalidating cache when there is update. When i create Dependency using command object, at that time command object does not have connection. It will assign connection to command object in Excute method SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(commandText);cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;SqlCacheDependency cacheItem = new SqlCacheDependency(cmd);DataSet result;result = DBHelper.Execute(cmd);HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert(cacheItemName, result, cacheItem);
Q1: Can I just open these protocols I need (see web links below) and then close them down again after SQLCacheDependency has been enabled? Note: The website (asp.net 2.0/SQL server Express) operates OK right now with asp.net - but it does not have SQLCacheDependency enabled. Problem: When I try to do this I keep on getting this error message: "An error has occurred when establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections." None of these 3 commands have worked (all give the same message above): aspnet_regsql.exe -U user1 -P pwd1 -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed I am trying to run these commands via a MSTSC connection. Q2: Is that (terminal server) the problem (the "remote connection") complained of above ? This is the command that worked on my local dev machine: aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed Q3: Must I really go through the procedure "How to: Configure Express to accept remote connections" at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx I don't really want to have SQL server accepting any connections as the last time it was listening on these ports we had so many attacks being made that it was filling up the logs! What I can't understand is that every night the database is backed up with the following command line code (operating as a Scheduled Task): sqlcmd -s server1/SQLEXPRESS -i MW4BAK.SQL -E Q4: So if the server is happy receiving commands from 'sqlcmd.exe' why does it have such problems with 'aspnet_regsql.exe' Q5: If I grouped those statements I need to setup SQLCacheDependency under a Scheduled Task would they work (as there would presumably be no remote connection then) or is it something in the nature of the connection established which allows sqlcmd.exe to work but stops aspnet_regsql.exe?
SQL Server 2005 / .NET 2.0 Web App - SqlCacheDependency is not invalidated and I see an error sql log that occurs after the specified table changes:
2006-09-22 12:18:51.84 spid21s The query notification dialog on conversation handle '{8D7EF5BC-544A-DB11-B6E0-000F1FD735BF}.' closed due to the following error: '<?xml version="1.0"?><Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8490</Code><Description>Cannot find the remote service 'SqlQueryNotificationService-d61fa581-0567-43ba-991f-37499e87cbf6' because it does not exist.</Description></Error>'.
I've read all applicable articles that I can find and applied hotfix kb916002. The sqldependency has never worked, it is not a stability issue as described in kb916002. In a trace I can see the sqldependency starts correctly. I have a console app that works fine with SqlDependancy calling same database and login creds. I don't know what to think. Calling sys.dm_qn_subscriptions show no subscriptions when this app starts as does the console app. Please advise as it looks like a broker issue.
Hi, I am using SqlCacheDependency with the query notifications of SQL server 2005. It is working nicely with the dbo.owner account but not with my web user account, so I am thinking something is wrong with the permissions. After searching around, it seems that the main permissions to enable are these: GRANT SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS TO theAccount GRANT RECEIVE ON QueryNotificationErrorsQueue TO theAccount GRANT REFERENCES on CONTRACT::[http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostQueryNotification] to theAccount GRANT SELECT TO theAccount.
I enabled these and it still doesn't work. When I change my table, my cache is not getting invalidations. Does anyone know what could be going on? Or perhaps how can I trace the problem and get some clues? thanks so much, -tajmahal
I have the following XML in an XML column in a SQL 2005 Database.<DeliveryList xmlns="http://schemas.adventure-works.com/DeliverySchedule"><Delivery SalesOrderID="43659"><CustomerName>Steve Schmidt</CustomerName><Address>6126 North Sixth Street, Rockhampton</Address></Delivery><Delivery SalesOrderID="43660"><CustomerName>Tony Lopez</CustomerName><Address>6445 Cashew Street, Rockhampton</Address></Delivery></DeliveryList>I need to query that column using the value method to retreive the addressof the first delivery.

I'm using custom authorization in reporting services 2000 to restrict the users. To do this we created a dll customauthorization.dll and placed it in reportserver bin folder and performed changes in rsreportserver.config, rssrvpolicy.config, and web.config files. Now its time to upgrade our servers to SQLServer 2005. Now in SQLServer2005 what new enhancements were done with respect to security and what all extra steps should i follow to perform the upgradation with custom authorization. Please give me suggestions how to upgrade my reports to SQL2005 so that my custom authorization still works.

(New to SQL Server Installs)I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a WinXP-SP2workstation and can see some enterprise databases on the network justfine.My problem is I cannot register a local database on the local drive fortesting/education purposes.(I accepted all of the defaults on the install and thought all waswell.)There are a couple of small databases that are in development in ourgroup and I need to work on when offline from the network.Short of uninstalling the whole product and doing it over, what stepscan I take to remedy this so I will be able to work with DB's locally?Thanks.
