Hi All,
I have to load data from from a text file ( approx 3-5 million rows) into a table .
I can use straight bcp with the format file , but the loading of data has to follow some business logic
Let me know if there are any third party tool to load the data instead of regular bcp
I have SqlServer 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0
Thanks in advance

HI There
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
This is for reporting services 2000 and 2005.
Thanx
is it possible to change the settings on this tool. i want to have it so that it does not time out at all? or is that possible??
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

Hey guys I really need your help.
We've outsourced our software last year, and it really a big mess for us since that company has been clashed. Then it so happened that the system failed to function well. Our batch transactions was working about 56 mins.. that is 24 records. Then it happened that this time 28 records was finished for about an hour. Our business hour is 8 hours only. That's why we have a back log now. We also failed to validate transaction since it takes a lot of effort before we update the database. It's working before but as our database becomes larger there are many errors occur in our application. Majority is runtime error. Then it happened that now we cannot move on anymore. We are using SQL server 2000 with VB6.0 application. our server memory is 1GB. Do you think adding additional memory will solve our problem?
Thanks!!
I am working on a SSIS package to move data between SQL2005 and DB2. I currently have the DB2 ADO .Net connector from DataDirect which works fine for connecting to the AS400. My question is that I am working on a script transformation and I want to be able to use the Connection already created in the package their.
I can set it up just fine using the properties for the script, but there appears to be no way to create SQLCommands and connections unless I reference the DataDirector DLL in the script, which requires adding it to the GAC and the Framework folder.
I am just wondering if this is the correct way to go about this or if there are any other recommendations. Please let me know if I need to supply more information.
Thanks,
Chris
Currently we are using SQL Servers Backup utility to backup our databases to disk and then the files to backup tape during a nightly backup.
The time it takes for the backups to disk to complete for the databases is becoming prohibitively long and performance problems on the DB server are manifesting.
I am interested in other solutions. However, the propaganda listed at the various companies sites are less than insightful.
I was wondering if anyone used a third party Agent like Brightstor Enterprise SQL Server backup agent, or Veritas NetBackup for SQL Server, that would be willing to give some recommendations. If you use something that isn't listed here and it works well, I would be interested in hearing about it.
Do these backup agents significantly slow down the database performance? Do they create any locking issues? Some insight into your backup hardware configuration would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have been using the built-in tools of SQL Server (email and netsend) to monitor and alert me about some basic issues (like severity errors and job failures) with our SQL servers. We are now approaching a level and number of servers where I think we need to get a more global and more stable solution to monitoring and alerting.
So what third party tools are you are using to monitor your SQL Servers?
Thanks

Hi All,
I am pretty new to SQL and would like a bit of friendly help, please. Am trying to set up a .Net web site that will have dynamic content supplied by a true SQL server (am using MSDE to build this first).
My issue is in building a search engine on my web site that will return hits from the content of the pages which are loaded in MSDE.
Is there a third party or open source search engine available?
Any clues for how to build (or beg, borrow or steal) a workable search engine to do this?
Many thanks,
Newbie
The only way I know of to debug a Sql 2005 stored proc is to create a VS2005 Database Project and step into it from there. Does anyone know of any third party tools that adds functionality to Sql Management Studio to step into stored procs?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFolks,I work on a system which is growing rapidly, with the number oftransactions we process growing on a daily basis. While this is goodnews or the business, maintenance is starting to become an issue as thedatabase is the backend for a website which cannot be down for alengthy period of time.While I do defrag the indexes, periodically the indexes do need to berebuilt. When this happens, the process locks pages and transactionsstart getting bounced out.Are their any third party utilities which will rebuild an indexwithout this locking occuring? Any help in pointing me in the rightdirection would be appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan SSRS be configured to use any third party .NET charting components or only ones that have been specifically designed for SSRS?

We have a hosted SQL server with various internal applications on it. It has been decided by on high that the same server will also have a database from a third party on the server. The third party have asked for full system admin rights on the SQL server.
Obviously I am not going to grant that access level as it gives them full control on the box. From my viewpoint read and write access to the data can be tolerated but anything else will be denied. Would you consider this standard and is there any documentation with recommendations for control of external suppliers ?
I am sure that they shouldn`t be doing any work on tables structure, sp`s etc on a live database. That work should be tested, scripted etc and then run on in a controlled environment by my company.
Anyone have any advice ?
Thanks

hello all -- I'm an SSIS newbie who is exploring (custom) programming functionality through third party components, to be plugged into SSIS, for SMTP, FTP, PGP, TAR, WinZIP, basically for a scheduling & automation utility.
Is there such a concept of third party components (and marketplace for this?) or is VB a much better choice for this vis-a-vis components variety, $$ and robustness ?
thanks much,

Hi,
I have recently started using SQL Server with a 3rd party application and have come across a problem and i have no idea how to fix it...
The database has a column of numbers that go up either by 10 or 100 depending on the letter in another column. eg:
100 M
110 P
120 P
200 M
300 M
400 M
500 M
510 P
520 P
The 3rd party application has just been updated and now can add new rows to this table. The only problem is that the added row needs a new number, and the rows below need to be recalculated.
Is there anyway this can be done? Any help or suggestions would be great!
Cheers,
BL
I have a CLR procedure with the below code calling a third party .dll in the system32 directory of the SQL server:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
public class CorrectAddressProcedures
{
[DllImport(@"C:WINDOWSsystem32CorrectA.dll", EntryPoint = "FindCityCounty")]
public static extern int FindCityCounty(StringBuilder zip, StringBuilder cityname, StringBuilder state, StringBuilder countyname, StringBuilder countynum);
public static String Space(int len)
{
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("");
str.Append(' ', len);
return str.ToString();
}
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void spFindCityCounty(SqlString _zip, out SqlString _cityname, out SqlString _state, out SqlString _countyname, out SqlString _countynum)
{
int rc;
StringBuilder zip = new StringBuilder(5);
StringBuilder cityname = new StringBuilder(28);
StringBuilder state = new StringBuilder(2);
StringBuilder countyname = new StringBuilder(25);
StringBuilder countynum = new StringBuilder(3);
try
{
cityname.Append(Space(28));
state.Append(Space(2));
countyname.Append(Space(25));
countynum.Append(Space(3));
zip.Append(_zip);
rc = FindCityCounty(zip, cityname, state, countyname, countynum);
_cityname = cityname.ToString();
_state = state.ToString();
_countyname = countyname.ToString();
_countynum = countynum.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw (ex);
}
}
}
I am getting the error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spFindCityCounty, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'spFindCityCounty':

I have restarted the service with memory allocation settings -g512 and -g1024 but still receive the error. The SQL server is an Intel Xeon 2.8GHZ with 2GB of RAM. Any thoughts of how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

We're looking for a sql server log analysis tool. Currently we often need to identify which users execued DML in the database. But I can see other uses for a product from this tool category. I'm looking at APEXSQL Log and Lumigent Log Explorer.
Can anyone make recommendations for other tools?

I completed an install of SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows Server 2003. Everything worked fine I can connect while logged into the box, while connected thru RDP. I can create databases add users without any issue. Until!!!!
I have a third party application (Tririga) which I run the install and indicate the SQL database (in this case local) The application begins to install but when I get to the point of adding the SA password the install fails.
"login fails for sa) 18456 sev 8 (wrong password) but it is the same password I use to connect to the DB. So I change the sa assword and try again and it still fails.
any suggestions would be nice. by the way on machines on which I have run an upgrade from 2000 (sql) to 2005 (sql) the install does not fail.
From my web application, exporting to Excel works fine, but when I export to CSV and open with Excel I get 2 garbage characters. I can export the report just fine from the ReportServer.
Is there something special that needs to be done? Could I have an old file?
Could it be something in my report? We always have the following components:
-- textboxes in the page header and footer
-- page header refers to parameter values; page footer refers to globals
-- 2 date parameters and 1 hidden boolean parameters
We're running SQL 2005 Reporting Services, and I have SP2 installed.
(I write the reports, not the web app)

I am trying to use NConstruct to generate my Nhibernate files. i can't connect to the sql server. In the past I have ran into similar problems with MyGeneration and other 3rd party tools. In those cases If I ran the tool as an administrator, it worked out ok. For NConstruct there is no option to run as administrator. I ran the SQL Server Surface Configuration tool to allow local and remote connections for named pipes and tcp already. I read all the blogs written for asp.net, and people often complain about the learning curve for Nhibernate or lack of Tutorials for Nhibernate. What I found in my case is that the steepest learning curve is to get the Microsoft Products Configured and Working Correctly! If anyone can be of any assistance, I would deeply appreciate it

Hello.
I would like to analyze how a particular 3rd party business application interacts with SQL server.
Specifically, I want to capture the "exact" SQL commands (transact-sql statements) that this application issues whenever it completes an operation for the user of this application.
In other words, suppose the application issues the SQL command "INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) values (1,2,3)" to add a new entry to the database. Then, my understanding is that if I instead issue the exact same command with a tool like "SQL query analyzer", the database will be updated in the exact same manner. Hence, I have effectively accomplished the same job that the 3rd party application does without even using it (by idependantly issuing the same command to the database it uses).
Is this possible? Can I obtain all the information I need just by running SQL Profiler?
In 2007 we plan on moving many of our SQL Servers (2000 & 2005) to a SAN. We will also be investigating the best way to replicate data from our production SAN to a Disaster Recovery SAN. I would like to know if people rely on built-in SQL Server replication / log shipping or third party products like DoubleTake or MirrorView. What's the advantage, if any, to using a third-party product?
Thanks, Dave
I noticed from this link:
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2495
There are four well known products that are used by medium to large size shops to help aid in change management of SQL Environments.
- AbaPerls
- DBGhost
- MSSqlExpress
- SQL Source Control
Does anyone currently use any of the above? Could you briefly explain your likes an dislikes and if you have reviewed any of the other options above when you had to make a decision as to which product to use?
Has anyone had experience using ‘VERITAS Backup Exec For Windows Servers Agent for MS SQL Server’ to run backup jobs? If so, what are the pros and cons?
I have always preferred using SQL Server Agent (not the maintenance plans) to run backup jobs and don’t know why anyone would want to use 3rd party software to do something SQL Server Agent does perfectly. Any advice?
