Hello Everyonen and thanks for your help in advance. I am developing a conetnet management system to allow for the storage of articles within a SQL Server 2000 database. I am using FreeTextBox as the editor for users to enter articles. I ahve two questions. First, many of the articles are quite lengthy and including HTML formatting go well beyond 8000 characters. How should I go about storing these articles? Should I use a TEXT datatype, or perhaps split the data into more than one row. This leads to my second quuestion. Many sites that display article type data break the artilce into multiple pages with page numbers or next links to page back and forth. I am not sure hot to go about implmeneting this. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have been adding a lot of Articles for Publication.
They make it to the distributer but they do not make it to the subscriber.
If I add articles before the previous batch of articles get applied to the subscriber could that cause a problem and for replication to become out of sync?
It is a pull transactional replication.
I have had to generate a snapshot for the problem to go away but it keeps happening.
We have many users with a mobile application running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog) we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?
We have restored a database on new server without keeping replication settings. Now while creating the publication no tables are shown in new publication wizard window. In fact we have hundred of tables in database and included in replication on source server from where backup was taken.
What may be the reason that tables are not appearing?
Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?
"delete data in the existing table that matches the row filter" in the publications "article>articles>table articles>snapshot" of the publication
but everytime i reopen that property tab the publication restore to the default setting of "drop exisiting table and recreate it" i"m using sql server 2000. snapshot replication-- thanks,
For each aritcle/publication, but I need a way to programmatically calculate the 'people' article in this case and pass that information along to the sp_publication_validation SP.
Is there a way, perhaps in system tables or system SP to accomplish this?
I have a design that includes articles that will be searched. Obviously its too slow to put them into fields, and impossible because some have photos or are otherwise html documents. So I want to put pointers to their location.
Two questions. For each deployment, both desktop and web, where is the best place to put the articles. In any folder, or only in an iis virtual folder?
I'm new to replication and set up a Snapshot Replication on the tables in my sample database. Â Everything seemed to work (database created on Subscriber instance, jobs set up, etc) but the articles (tables) are not being created in the subscriber's database. Â
I can see the files created in the folder but I don't see the tables or the data. Â Also, I confirmed that the articles are checked so they should be included.
Hello Friends Can any body tell about the database jobs. what are the database jobs and how do they work. If any body have any link relevant to it please send me as early as possible. Thanks SARB
I have a page which loads an article based on an ID, what i want to do now is when the article loads there will be a repeater control which holds headlines of related articles in it. My problem is how can i achieve this in terms of passing through the articleCategoryID to the stored procedure "stream_RelatedArticles". This is my stored procedure that loads the initial article; ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_Articles] as SELECT TOP 5 articleID, articleTitle,articleDescription, articleAuthor,articleDatePublished,articleBody from Articles ORDER BY articleDatePublished And this is the page_load;if (!IsPostBack) {string strID = Request.QueryString["id"]; SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["streamConnectionString"].ConnectionString);SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("stream_ArticlesByID", conn); command.Parameters.Add("@articleID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Request.QueryString["id"];command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; conn.Open();SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); ArticleList1.DataSource = reader; ArticleList1.DataBind(); reader.Close(); } And here is my related article stored procedure;ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_RelatedArticles]@articleCategoryID INT as SELECT articleID,articleCategoryID, articleTitle,articleDescription, articleAuthor,articleDatePublished,articleBody from Articles WHERE articleCategoryID = @articleCategoryID
Greetings,I have one table, named Article, and one table name Category.The problem is, one Article could be in just one or in several categories.What is the best way to connect data between Article and Category according to fast search performance?I have several ideas:1. To have third cross table Article_Category with fields Article_ID and Category_ID, and search Article_Category table 2. To have several INTEGER columns in Article table (like Category_ID1, Category_ID2,..) and search those columns3. Add one VARCHAR field in Article table where I could write Category ID's delimited by some character (e.g. by comma), and do text search in only that column.What is recommended for solving problems like this?
I have setup Transactional replication in SQL 2005 between two servers and have about 200 tables being replicated. The problem is that every time, I add or drop a table to replication, and start the Snapshot agent, it re-initializes every article and re-loads every article. This process takes 1 hour to complete and CPU usage goes to 100% during that time.
This behaviour seems very different from SQL 2000 where I would start Snapshot agent and only the relevant tables were added/dropped.
Has that functionality changed from 2000 to 2005? Am I not doing something right? Thanks, Amir
I wonder if anyone can advise, I currently have a replication set to 5 offices. Which has been working fine for some 18 months+, then the replication dropped out. When I looked in the publisher it had lost all its articles and would not allow me to add back in. I deleted the publication and recreated it and then after creating a new snapshot starting rolling back out to the various locations, and one of the locations failed and again all the articles where lost. I deleted and rebuilt the database at that office and went through the same routine again, only for it to happen again, the issue being that now errors where produced!!!.
So at present I have the publication and all the subscriptions running apart from this one office.
Has anyone had this before, or any ideas. I have run a full virus scan just in case and it was fine.
I have some articles already published and would like to change some of the articles default @conflict_retention of 14 days to 45 days. How can I accomplish this via t-sql? Thanks.
My forms are taking user input, then HtmlEncoding them prior to being stored in the SQL DB. For some reason, SQL is storing quotes as � and it is causing the HTML when decoded in the page to not be rendered properly.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
For example (without encoding for readability):
SQL should store the parsed string as: <a href="someurl" class="main">
but for some reason it's being stored as: <a href=�someurl� class=�main�>.
Dear Friends, Hi I am having a problem while showing Products from SQL Server database. Exactly I have a table named Products which has some Products posted by admin I want to show some latest Products on my default page based on DateTime which are displayed like show last week articles,show last two weeks articles etc on button click I written my SQL query like: searchquery = "select * from Prducts where Date between '" + System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7).ToShortDateString() + "' and '" + System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).AddHours(23).AddMinutes(59).AddSeconds(29).ToShortDateString() + "'"; If any body knows plz help me
I have found some articles with no publication in our transactional replication.
For example, running this:
select p.publication, a.publication_id, a.article from dbo.MSArticles as a left outer join dbo.MSpublications as p on a.publication_id = p.publication_id
shows this:
NULL1org_Community NULL3org_Community Purchasing to EDW5org_Community NULL1org_Division NULL3org_Division Purchasing to EDW5org_Division
How can I get rid of the articles that are not part of a publication?
I can't use sp_droparticle because it requires a publication which these articles do not have.
Any recommendations for good advanced t-sql books/articles? I find myself involved with writing increasingly more complex queries and after spending a few hours on some, and then searching on this site for potential answers/help, I am wondering if there might be some good books on creating more advanced/complex t-sql for real world scenarios.
My company is moving to a SQL Server-based packaged application early next year. We€™re planning our SQL Server architecture but have some questions that I can€™t readily find answers for. I€™m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
We have three servers, I€™ll call them A, B, and C. We want to duplicate all changes to certain databases on server A to server B, then duplicate changes to selected databases and tables on server B to server C.
Ideally we€™d run SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on all three servers, but the packaged application vendor does not support SQL Server 2005 yet, only SQL Server 2000. Our license agreement with them does not allow us to use replication on server A. We€™re free to do whatever we want on our other SQL Servers, but server A must sit alone, untouched, like a monolith on a far-away moon. (I€™m lobbying to have the server named Tycho, or TMA2.) Stranger still, they€™re OK with log shipping from server A to other servers. We€™ve tried to explain that replication and log shipping are both core function built into SQL Server, and that if one is acceptable, then both should be. Their fear is that replication could cause performance and stability problems, and to eliminate this possibility they€™re ruling out replication on server A.
Given these constraints we€™re resigned to using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on servers A and B, and SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on server C. We plan on periodically shipping logs from server A to server B and applying them at server B.
We€™d like to know if it is possible to also use transactional replication on server B to duplicate changes from server B to server C. I€™ve used log shipping and replication in the past, but never at the same time. My understanding is that a database goes into recovery mode while a transaction log is being applied and that any user changes to the database after the log has been applied will cause later log applications to fail. The scripts I€™ve seen that are used to apply the transaction logs put the database into single user mode after the log has been applied to prevent this.
This raises a few questions:
If we try to RESTORE a log to a database being used as a source for transactional replication articles, will the RESTORE fail? Or will the RESTORE start and break the transactional replication? I€™ll test this on my own, but it€™d be nice to know if anyone has already experienced this.
Is it possible for us to have a database in read-only mode serve as the source for transactional replication articles? (I can€™t imagine why not, ever though it seems counter-intuitive - why would you want to replicate transactions from a database that has no transactions?)
If the answer to number two is yes, can we suspend transactional replication on a database, RESTORE a log to the database, put the database into read-only mode after the RESTORE, and restart the replication on the database? Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom, everyone!
Has anyone had problems with this limitation before or could explain to me what the purpose of this limit is for? It obviously does allow you to publish more than 246 (we have been publishing more than 700 for years). Is this new with SQL 2005? Is my publication going to stop one day and tell me there are too many articles?
I have some C# code that iterates through the session state, serializes each object and stores the binary representation in an SQL table with an 'image' column. The problem is: it doesn't work. SQL server doesn't throw an error (at least ADO.NET doesnt propagate it); the table is just left unchanged. The SP works (I tested it with a few simple values); the MemoryStream and byte array are being populated correctly and bound to the parameter correctly.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone have a better approach? I know there is a builtin way of storing state in an SQL server, but I only need to do this once--namely, when a user is redirected from non-secure to secure pages--so I don't want to take that performance hit,
I want to store a multipul paragraphs of information into one field in sql server. It works fine but when I output to html the writing does not have the paragraphs and all the text goes together like one big paragraph.
Hello, We are just setting up SQL Server 2000 and wanted to keep track of all our server settings(everything needed for worst case scenario). Does anybody have a standard template that we could follow to record all our info?
