Storing SID's In SQL 7.0
Dec 16, 1999
I need to store a user ID of whoever made the last change to a record in a table. I have added a field with a default set to 'suser_sid()'.
Is it wise to store SID's in a database table if you are using NT authentication? My concerns are that if the user is deleted by the NT system administrator then I lose data integrety also if the database is backed up and restored onto a different machine with different users it won't work at all.
I'd be grateful for any help with this.

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?

Hi, can someone help me with this problem. I have recently downloaded VWD and have been playing around with it a bit. I was windering how do I add an image file to a SQL database. I have used SQL in the past but I have never store an image in it. I can add text data and so forth, but I need some pointers into adding images to the sql database. I want to be able to store the images and then retrieve them to a GridView. I have the images in an image folder within the website, but I do not know how to input the reference or link to the images in an sql table.
A quick example, say I have a table called Images, with the following info:imgID (int)imgDesc (varchar(max)imgFile (img)imgTitle (varchar(20))
To input this in sql I would write Insert Into Images (imgDesc,imgFile,imgTitle) Values ("Large fishy", "", "The Big Fish") what would I need to put for imgFile?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi all! I am back with a new problem.
I am designing a database in which the booking is on an hourly basis instead of daily basis. So I want my colums in a table to be like this:
================================ID(PK)Date(In this table I want date only)TimeSlot(in this table I want time only)CourtNo(facility which is to be booked)Booking ID(FK to booking table)================================
The thing is that SQL server donot have a date only format. I am totally stuck on this one, please help! The database which I created will be ideal if I can just store the date!

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�>.
Thoughts?

Does anyone have thoughts or know of resources that explain the pro's and con's of storing images in a database versus keeping the image in the file system and just storing the path to the image in the database?

Hello All!
Can some one give SQL Statement on storing images from disk to the database columns.
Once I store the image how do I test it out that the image is stored correctly?
For example this is what I did
I have a table called table1., field called name
insert into table1(name) values(C:123.bmp)
Is the above statement correct? will it store the file or not?
if it does store them then how do I view them?
Can some one please help me...
Thanks in advance for your help

best way to store questionnaire data in a database.Since different questionnairs have different questions and formats i.e dropdown, radio, checkboxes etc building such a database model becomes highly complex.
I've read that if data schema is complex and higly variable it may be better to use an xml document and store that in a databse. However I dont quite understand how you store xml to a database. Do you simply store the entire structure in something like a nvarchar column or is there some other way to store xml to a database.
If you store the entire structure to the databse then how do you query the content to generate reports.
example xml:
Code:
<survey>
<meta>
<id>sample</id>
</meta>
<questions>
<question id="1" type="singlechoice" page="1">

I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Hi,
I'm having a DB designed for me, and I'm inspecting it and wondering what in general is the better way to do this.
We have a product, which we are counting "product views". The DB designer has created columns called "view_today" and "views_alltime".
I specified I wanted a normalized database, I'm thinking this is technically not normalized ? Am I correct ?
Wouldn't it be better to have a query that counted the views off the logging table ? I can't see any advantage to doing it the way its been designed except to save time.
Thanks for any input !

Hello all,I have been working with several databases here that are basically datamarts. A lot of the entities have an attribute that is a particularyear and month. For example, a financial transaction may be posted fora particular month, regardless of the actual date on which it occurred.In this system, these year/month combinations have typically beenstored as integers of the form YYYYMM. My question is, how have othersstored this type of information and what advantages/disadvantages haveyou found to your method?The problem that I have found with the current method is that youcannot easily find the difference between two of these dates. Forexample, 200401 - 200312 = 89 (not 1). Storing the values as datetimes(using the first of the month) allows for DATEDIFF(mm, '2003-12-01','2004-01-01') = 1. Of course, a little extra (and meaningless) data isbeing stored. In case the table sizes makes a difference here due tothe extra data being stored, we are usually talking about over 100Mrows.I don't like the idea of storing the values in two columns (year andmonth) because that does nothing to improve on the ability to performuseful functions on the values and very importantly, the month reallyhas no meaning without the year, so I don't think that it should bestored by itself.Thanks for any advice/insight.-Tom.

I am writing an app in c#. I will be using the following code to get a number from the user. I had to make the variable a string to prevent any kind of conversion to be required.
string newID;
Console.WriteLine("Enter a new ID");
newID = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("The new ID is {0}", newID);
Console.ReadLine();
The ID that this will be collecting will be stored in a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The field in the database is of the type int. Will there be a problem saving this number from the code above into the database? Will there be a problem b/c the datatypes don't match?

Hi everyone, I am storing statistics for different affiliate and merchant sites, and I have a few questions about how to store it. My first idea was to create a serializable array and store it in a statistics column with the rest of the site information. I could even have two columns, one being an archive, and one being the current month. I know these arrays would get quite large, but they would only be retrieved when someone was looking at the statistics. Is this a viable way to do it? The other idea I had was to create tables for each site and ad and store the statistics as rows in each objects respective table. While easy, I didn't know if it was a bad idea to have a very large amount of tables, ie., one for every advertisement and site signed up for the affiliate program. Thanks for all your expertise in advance and I look forward to contributing to this great community. Dave

I'm currently working on this portion of a program...what it does is it takes a "char" of 24 digits, what the user inputs is something like this "50-32-18-000-008.000-018" i take it out of the text box and store it on a session and then call the insert into the database....but like i said the database is configured to have a char of 24 go into it...and it won't insert it is saying that im having a conflicting with the calling of two different things...here is the code.....
//***set the query text to the name of a stored proceduremyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO BZA ParcelNumber, BZAcaseNum, ApplicantID, OwnerID, DateFiled, Acreage, Zoning, HearingMonth, HearingDay, PropertyAddress VALUES (@parcelNum, @caseNum, @applicant, @ownerID, @dateFiled, @acreage, @zoning, @hearingMonth, @hearingDay, @propertyAddress)";
//create an input parameterSqlParameter parcel = new SqlParameter();
parcel.ParameterName = "@parcelNum";parcel.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Char;
parcel.Size = 24;
parcel.Value = (string)Session["parcelNumber"]; //set the Parcel Number to what is entered in
I've tried doing a Convert.ToChar((string)Session["parcelNumber"]) but when i do that it says that the string needs to be one character
What should I do??

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.

Hi, I'm in the process of creating a database table and was wondering if it's better to store calculated values or recalculate them each time. So for example, I am creating a table that stores articles and then a table to store the pages to the article. If a new page is added should I update the pages field in the articles table or should I calculate the number of pages for an article when it's queried? Thanks,John
