Testing Connections To SQL Server
Jun 30, 2006Is there a way to test to see if there is a connection to a database in SQL through programming or dos commands?

My previous experience is with php and MySQL.
I currently have Apache, MySQL and php running on my local machine to enable me to test php code on localhost
I've been asked by a colleague if I'll work on an SQL 2000 database they're having trouble with. They said they will provide Visual.net, SQL 2000 and any other software I need.
I'm completely in the dark on this, but have some starting questions:
To test my code, will I need to set up a sever on localhost?
Will I need other software than Visual.net and SQL 2000? I'm using DW MX for my web stuff.
Whre can I find a basic introduction to ASP / SQL 2000 in the form of a tutorial?
How fast does this combination run? The database has 25,000 rows and 6 columns. What would be a reasonal expect time for a result?
Any help appreciated

What do you recommend for stress-testing the performance of key stored procedures (they have been identified) for our application? The parameters can be programatically selected, for example:
Select 'exec my_proc @id = ' + Cast(id As varchar)
From myTable
Where foo = 'bar'
I have the Support Tools Available For Stress Testing & Performance Analysis (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5691AB53-893A-4AAF-B4A6-9A8BB9669A8B&displaylang=en) from Microsoft's site and they are pretty good.
Recommendations appreciated, and thanks in advance!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm going to be starting a web application this week. I have quite a bit of experience with Access Databases, and I've also used MySQL (back in my PHP days, thank GOD for ASP.NET).
The server we use to host our websites allows us to use SQL Server databases, so I want to move in that direction, but I'm not really sure where to start.
If I download MSDE, and start a database with it on a site I will be developing locally (on my XP box), will it be difficult for me to transfer the database (or layout of the database) to a production server running SQL Server. I know they're basically the same database, but I'm just afraid to start with an MSDE database and then get the site nearly complete, and then not know how to transfer it to a SQL Server DB.
I'm particularly interested to know if the majority of the database creation will be done through queries (similar to MySQL) because I figure if it is, then I can use the same queries to create the database on both the local and production server.
I just want to make sure that downloading MSDE will be a step in the right direction.
Perhaps links or tutorials or some information on things to watch out for as I take on this process would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
I have a server with several linked servers. Before I execute sql against any of these linked servers I want to check to make sure the connection is active.
I created a small stored procedure that takes the server name. I am trying to get it to run a simple select statement. If the select statement runs without errors (meaning the linked server is active) I want to return a value for success. If the select statement fails I want to return a value for a failure.
The problem is that I am having trouble with the error. When I shut down the linked server and run the select statement I get the following error returned:
Server: Msg 11, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
General network error. Check your network documentation.
The stored procedure I have only returns this message and does not send the return value that I set. How do I get my procedure to return a failure value instead of the following error above? Is there a better way for me to check for this type of error?
Thanks
Hi Group,
I'm trying to test an ASP application in 'isolation' and seem to be having problems with connecting to the Server.
The setup is EXACTLY like the production environment except for the fact that I am using the Beta version of SQL.
The error refers to SQL Server not existing. I get this error also if I try to open the Query Analyzer without FIRST starting the Services via the Service Manager - so I think it is probably something wrong with the Beta Installation rather than using the BETA version as a back-end.
I've tried using the Computer name as the Server to connect to as well as 127.0.0.0 - neither seem to want to connect.
I can connect manually and see the Database objects. I've even connected, left the connection open and tried running the application again. I still get the same error.
Has anyone experienced this before? i.e not being able to connect to a BETA version of SQL to test an ASP application locally.
TIA
Hi,
I'm new to the whole MS SQL server thing, have been using Access in past developments via the development platform in Dreamweaver.
Now I'm making the leap to MS SQL and still want to use Dreamweaver to handle some of the development aspects, does anyone know how or what i would need to do to have a direct connection with the server in dreamweaver?
I've setup an ODBC connection with my hosting providers already.
THANKS!

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur database is in Sql Server 2005 Mode 80 at the moment and we need to switch it to Mode 90. We need a lilst of all incompatibilities that exist.
Essentially, we need a list similar to what the Upgrade Advisor provides for 2000 databases. The only problem is our DB is already in 2005 mode 80. Switching to mode 90 is easy but does not identify all potential problems for us.
Is there a tool that is similar to the Upgrade Advisor that we can run on 2005 Mode 80 databases?
Thanks
Are there any differences between the Developer Addition and Enterprise Addition of 64 Bit SQL Server 05 that would prevent me from testing full capabilities of my production Enterprise Addition in a QA environment utilizing Developer Addition? Any known restrictions on number of DB connections, memory, CPUs etc??
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have some C# code that is pulling data from a database where a majority of the values being retrieved are NULL , yet their initial column data types are both string and int, which means that I have to temporarily store these NULL's in int and string data
types in C#. Later on in my code I have to test against these values,
and was wondering if I am doing it correctly with the following code.
The following statement the variable or_team_home_id is of a string data type, but may have had a NULL value assigned to it from the database
if (!or_team_home_id.Equals(DBNull.Value)) {}
The following statement the variable or_manager_id is of a int data type, but also may have a NULL value assigned to it from the database.
if (!Convert.IsDBNull(or_manager_id)){}
Are these the correct way to test against NULL values retrieved from
teh database and that are stored in their respective data types.

Hi,
Recently, we have migrated our database from 32bit to 64bit. So far the application is working fine.
But I want to confirm that by any tool or automated process.
Is there any way or tool to check that the migrated data is correct and also to check if migrated database objects will work fine in 64 bit environment.
Any timely help would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks,

We are using Sql Server 2008 R2. We are planning to move to 2014 either through in-place o side-by-side. Mostly side-by-side.
Here first we want to test that 2014 and availability groups. First we are doing in dev box to test. Also we need asynchronous replica because just we need to use that as reporting server.
We want to take work load. For the dev boxes, the applications doesn't connect. Then in that case what the people will do.
If We take database backup from prod to that dev and run some queries in the loop and run the trace for some time and do either in-place migration or side-by-side migration and use the same back to restore and doing the running the same queries and compare this trace to previous trace will work?
Because of a performance problem, somebody has given me a script which came from a SSRS report.
The code as supplied does not work when multivalued parameters are used.
Testing/tuning/building in SSMS is far superiour than in SSRS. So that's why I like to use SSRS for building the code/script/sql-statement.
Offcourse parameters have to be set correctly. (That is no problem).
Splitting of the multivalued parameter is not a problem either.
Hi
I have what seems a simple requirement. We want to import the contents of a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report into a SQL Server 2005 database, in order to perform some checks on reports displayed to users. Is there an easy way to achieve this? XML would seem appropriate, but I can't find a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this. Any pointers/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have an SP like this (edited for brevity):
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[TESTING_SP]
@Username MediumText,
@Password MediumText,
@UserKey int OUTPUT,
@RoleKey int OUTPUT,
@UserGroupKey int OUTPUT,
AS
BEGIN
SELECT
@UserKey = UserKey
FROM UserProfile
WHERE Username = @UserName
AND [Password] = @Password
END
I want to execute this sp in Managment Studio (MS) and see what is being returned but I'm getting this error:
Msg 201, Level 16, State 4, Procedure TESTING_SP, Line 0
Procedure 'TESTING_SP' expects parameter '@UserKey', which was not supplied.
How do I set up the output parameters and then select the values in MS for testing purposes?
Thanks a ton for helping a noob.
Hi there,
Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()
Try
Dim cmd As IDbCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
Dim sql As String = "EDSConfirmUpdate" '"EDSConfirmUpdate""PswdConfirmation"
'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
'Split string into array
Dim Values() As String = ReturnValue.Split(";~".ToCharArray)
'If the return code is CONTINUE, all is well. Otherwise, collect the
'reason why the result failed and let the user know
If Values(0) = "CONTINUE" Then
Return True
Else
results.Result = Values(0)
'Make sure there is a message being returned
If Values.Length > 1 Then
results.Message = Values(2)
End If
Return False
End If

in the above GetConnection() method i

for some reason its throwing the below error.

If i comment out the

and uncomment the .net oledb provider,
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
then it works fine.
I also have changed the webconfig file as below.

My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website.
An error has occurred while 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.
According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys
need your expert advise on this. in my previous company in our application we used to have 1 sql server connection open all the time to access database .
in current company ,framework does it differently like opening connection to database only when needed and closing it straight away.when you look at profiler when doing multiple things in our app one will see many connections opened by our application.
my question is which approach is good for performace ?
Thanks for advise.
