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?
Thanks!
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
View 2 Replies View RelatedMS SQLJust to confirm, I need to store the number of hours a user has spent doing something, am I correct using the smalldatetime field for the MS SQL database?I will eventually need to be able to calculate totals using SQL Reporting Services so it's important that the hours add up correctly (to 60 minutes, not 100).ASP.NETI'm trying to find the correct sort of formatting to use? Short time stores the time as 9:50AM, which isn't what i'm after.I need to store the hours as in 1 hour, or 01:00:00 (1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds) or just 01:00 for 1 hour. I do need minutes but seconds are not required.I can't find the right formatting for this, would Long time be more suited?
View 18 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm creating a web application with membership and such. And I have some problem figuring out how to store locale and culture data. My application needs to know the following three things for every user: country (or region), prefered language and their timezone. Now, the country and language can easily be stored as a CultureInfo string (such as "en-US" or "sv-SE"). However, i'm probably going to need two columns in my database if say a person lives in the US (and therefore applies to US registration fees, etc) but want the site displayed in swedish (my app implements global resources). So i guess (if no one objects to the above) my question is how do I store the timezone-data? There is ofcourse a System.Timezone class, but I'm not sure how to implement it. I obviously want my site to display the correct local time (all datetimes are stored as universaltime though). Is there a "universal" timezone-standard? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. /David N.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy 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?
Hello,
I have some troubles with IBM WebSphere Application Server using MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. I always get the error e.g.
java.lang.SecurityException: class "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDatabaseMetaData"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
I found this Feedback but it seems to be closed.
A temporary solution for me was to delete the meta-inf directory of the JAR-File, but that can't be the solution.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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,
string uid = _session.SessionID;
object toSerialize;
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream stream;
SqlConnection dbConn = SupportClasses.SqlUtilities.DBConn();
SqlCommand cmd;
SqlTransaction storeSession = null;
SqlParameter uidParam, keyParam, objParam;
try
{
dbConn.Open();
storeSession = dbConn.BeginTransaction();
foreach (string key in _session.Keys)
{
toSerialize = _session[ key ];
stream = new MemoryStream();
formatter.Serialize(stream, toSerialize);
cmd = new SqlCommand("store_session_object", dbConn, storeSession);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
uidParam = new SqlParameter("@uid", SqlDbType.VarChar);
uidParam.Value = uid;
cmd.Parameters.Add(uidParam);
keyParam = new SqlParameter("@object_key", SqlDbType.VarChar);
keyParam.Value = key;
cmd.Parameters.Add(keyParam);
objParam = new SqlParameter("@data", SqlDbType.Image);
objParam.Value = stream.ToArray();
cmd.Parameters.Add(objParam);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
SupportClasses.ErrorHandler.HandleSQLError(ex);
storeSession.Rollback();
}
catch (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException exs)
{
// do something
}
finally
{
dbConn.Close();
}
For those interested, here is the code for the SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE store_session_object
@uid varchar(50),
@object_key varchar(25),
@data image
AS
INSERT INTO session_hold (uid, object_key, object)
VALUES (@uid, @object_key, @data)

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo what's the secret to getting images in and out of a SQL database? There's lots out there about this, but I cant seem to get any of it to work...
I have a table, named Attachments and among other columns I have one called Attachment. I've tried using both image and varbinary(max) data types, both with the same results.
I have an sproc with the following code:
INSERT INTO Attachments (Attachment) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c: est.bmp', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BulkColumn
That seems to read the file and create a record. If I move the file, yeah it complains it doesnt exist... If I "show data" on the table, there is a new record and under Attachment, it says "<Binary Data>. t seems to be there, but who knows for sure...
So in an aspx file, I have the following:
myConnection.Open();string SQL = "SELECT Attachment FROM Attachments";SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(SQL, myConnection);byte[] bytePic = (byte[])myCommand.ExecuteScalar();
When I run it, it errors out on that last line with "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.Byte[]'.
With the use of "DBNull", it sure does seem the SQL is coming up emtpy handed, eh? If I change the SELECT to AttachmentId (an identity field), it says it cant cast a "system32" - which makes sense... Any ideas whats going on? Many thanks!! -- Curt

I have not had much luck finding info in BOL.
I have a directory with many images, i need to load these images into sql server.We want to staore them in the database instead of the file server.
What is the best way to do this? TSQL (i am hoping), .NET code or maybe even SSIS ?
I have been reading what i can find in BOL basically all i know so far is that image data type will be no more in the future and i should use a varbinary(max) data type.
Basically i need a good link or something that can demonstrate how one can go about loading images into Sql Server 2005.
Thanx
