How do I tell what SQL licensing option (processor, device CALS or user CALS) was taken when the server was installed? I have taken over a SQL 2005 server and I would like to check how many CALS (if any) it is licensed for.

Does anyone have a routine that can verify URL's in a database table. I have a table with several thousand website addresses and I would like a way to check and see which ones resolve and which return Page Not Found error. I quess my question is how do you interrogate a URL and what do you look for coming back? Novitiate for many I am sure but not for me.
Thank you.
Hey Folks...
Very new to SQL Server. I've inherited numorous SQL Servers and wanted to know how I can tell if a backup is scheduled and how I can tell if it completed successfully? Thanks in advance....

View 4 Replies View RelatedOK, so I'm working on a project that requires the dynamic generation of SQL statements. Now in Visual Studio .NET I'm sure many of you have used that wonderful visual database tool that allows you to magically "verify sql syntax" at the click of a button. It takes a query that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.EMail, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductId, P.BuyerId FROM Affiliates A, Purchases P WHERE (ProductId > 0) ORDER BY 1"
and transforms it into something that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.Email, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductID, P.BuyerID
FROM Affiliates A CROSS JOIN Purchases P
WHERE (P.ProductID > 0)
ORDER BY A.AFFID"
My question is: is there anything in the .NET platform that would allow me to achieve the same kind of result programatically (i.e. transform standard sql to tsql syntax and verify the syntax of the query at run time)?
Any help would be appreciated! Cheers.
To: All,
Hi, well thanks for reading this thread. Anyway I got a problem where i can't accurately verify whether a user had successfully login to my application.
I got a database to store the user name and password. So whenever a user login, i would use a while loop to read all the user name and password, and an if statement to verify whether the user's name and password matches to the ones stored in the database. This method doesn't work when there are multiple records in my database, because the if statement would compare the user given name and password with all the user name and password in the database. Hence resulting a mismatch.
Well I really hope that you understand what my problem is, really need help with this problem as I'm really clueless. Can somebody please help me, please teach me how to rectify this problem?
Well i think the core problem would be to compare the user name and password with the records in the database one at a time, and once it is found, stop comparing and allow user to enter site.
Yup I think that's all, sorry for the lengthy thread. Anyway thanks a million and have a nice day.

Is there a way that SQL can automatically look at each users'connection and make sure it is still connected through the third partyapplication? The problem is that when a connection to this applicationis not terminated properly, the SQL server is not notified of thedisconnect and the user cannot log back into the application until allthe processes are completed and the original session terminated.Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All,
I'm trying to develop a stored procedure that would do one of TWO things:
1. Return a 'status' that a value does not exist, if I were to provide the parameter via an ASP.NET2.0 page
2. If it does exists, to return the row data associated with that value (id number)
The stored procedure would search a SQL Server table within it self first. It that fails it would look at an Oracle table (work order table). And if that fails to return a 'row' to look through another Oracle table (work request table). If that doesn't occur, then it would throw the result as described in #2.
If the result exists in one of the TWO Oracle tables it would then insert that row into the first SQL Server table that the stored procedure searched through AND would return the row set to the ASP.NET page.
While all this is happening, I was hoping to get some insight as to how to create a "Please Wait..." feedback and then moving to the final result.
Looking forward to the wise words of the many on this forum, as I have experienced in the past! :)
Hi folks!
The boss has decided that the data from a table we have on one database (containing daily data) needs to be copied to a "history" table on a different database, on a different server.
The transfer will probably be done with a scheduled stored procedure, and all columns will be transferred EXCEPT for two columns in the source table, which are not present in the destination table. This means instead of an "INSERT Dest SELECT * FROM Source" I have to do an "INSERT Dest SELECT yada,yada,yada... FROM Source" in order to disregard the columns we don't care about. NO problem.
I was thinking (you should smell trouble - and sawdust burning at this point) that this leaves us open to a punch below the belt later when a new column is added to the Source table, since we are using a definitive list of columns to move rather than a *, and the new column could be added without the otherwise system-generated, *-sponsored "gentle reminder" that it also needs to be added to the Dest table. I'm not as convinced as The Boss that "Oh, I'm sure we'll remember to add it to the history table when that happens" :lol:
So, long story shorter (nah...too late for that) - I figure I can write a check at each day's historical transfer on the count of columns in one table verses the other, and send an email or fail the job if the count doesn't make sense.
For example, if the Source table has 34 columns, since we don't care about two of them, the Dest table should have 32 columns, if things are still in synch. OK, I think (insert burning sawdust smell here), I can use a SysObjects thang to count rows. BOL points out INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS as a possibility.
Here is the code I think (sawdust) can be used:select ((select count(*) from SourceDb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
where table_name = 'Source') - (select count(*) from HISTSERVER.DestDb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
where table_name = 'Dest')) as ColumnDiff
Trouble is...this fails because apparently the INFORMATION_SCHEMA thang doesn't do well with remote servers.
Can anyone figure a way around this, or suggest an alternative? I'm still looking, but thought I'd also toss it out onto the board for your generous consideration.
Thanks - and can you BELIEVE the year is already 1/12th of the way OVER?!?!?!

Let me explain in simplified terms. We have an ETL process:
1) download data from the iSeries table Cust into SQL table Cust.
2) Tran_Cust is a view created FROM Cust
3) Copy from view Tran_Cust to table ods_Cust
4) v_ods_Cust is a view created from ods_Cust
I want to look for inconsistencies in the column definitions as a column moves from iSeries Cust, SQL Cust, view Tran_Cust, ods_Cust, view v_ods_Cust. The columns generally keep the same names except for v_ods_cust. Here a column like CustName will be created with a more meaningful column name - "CustName as 'Customer Name'.
We have hundreds of tables and we have column definition inconsistences where the host changed their column defintion and we made no changes on the SQL side. Or someone made a SQL column change in one table, but not both tables and the views were not dropped and recreated.
I have the list of tables. Think that I can put together some tsql to loop through the list of tables and create a new table based on the iSeries definition, then compare columns defintion across all the tables and views - except for the v_ods. THis is where columns are given new names - such as "CustName as 'Customer Name'". Need the actual view definition to find that CustName is 'Customer Name' and then compare the definition of ods_Cust.CustName to v_ods_Cust.[Customer Name]
How can I find the view definiton of say v_ods_Cust, seperate out the source column names (CustName) and destination column names (Customer Name) so that I can compare the source column names to another table and fine the differences?

If SQL Server 2000 is loaded onto a 8 processor machine, can I legitimately
load Standard Edition, which will only use 4 of the 8 processors, or as
some interpretations of the license suggest, must I purchase Enterprise
Edition (i.e. you are not permitted to load SQL Server on a machine which
has more processors than the Product is capable of using) ?.
I know the "reasonable" answer, but what is the legal position ?

Hi,
My company is embarking on a data warehousing project. We are going to purchase a Windows 2003 server. It would be a dual processor. The specs are not certain yet so cannot give more details on that.
1. The data in the warehouse would be close to 150 GB.
2. There will be maximum of 10 users needs a SQL Server license.
3. Do not need analysis services.
What edition do I go with -Enterprise OR Standara? I want the least priced edition. I looked up the various links on Books Online but I am still not able to decide.
Say I need only 2 GB of RAM. Then here are my questions.
1. Since we are going with a dual-processor, do I need to purchase processor license for each of the two? Why can't I have one license on one processor only? What are the implications of this?
2. The 10 users that I am talking about will be remotely connecting to this Windows 2003 server and accessing the databae.
3. What exactly is Failover clustering? Do I really need it for my warehousing project?
4. Please help me pick the correct license. Here is the link -

Is there a way to find the SQL Server licensing information after the software is installed? I mean is there a way to say that it was licensed per cpu or per cal?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows 2000 Operating System with 4 processor, out of which I'm planning to use only one Processor for the SQL Server and leave the rest of the three processor for the OS.

Hello all,
I have a question concerning the ridiculous quagmire of SQL Server licensing…
How is SQL Server licensed when used to store session state information? Is MS claiming that this is an end user use of SQL Server functionality? Or, can we be realistic and say that I need a server license plus a device license for each web server?
Personally, I like everything about SQL Server except the licensing. Management at my company has already said that we’ll most likely be moving to either Firebird or Postgres after they found out how much it would cost to move from SQL 2k to SQL 2005. If MS wants us to buy processor licenses for SQL state servers, I guarantee we’ll be doing something else there as well. I wonder if Microsoft has any clue how much business they’re losing. Not just in SQL Server, but in their OS business as well.
Hello,
I am very confused about the licensing of SQL Server 2000 and 2005 (various editions), and any light you can shed will be greatly appreciated. I am learning VS2005, and need to build a website.
1. I know what a Client Access License (CAL) is.
2. I know what a processor license is.
My ASP.NET website might have 10 users, 100, or maybe 1,000 (I don't know at this point).They will have anonymous access to a main page from which they will have to log in, and from that point on be using SSL for anything they do.
I am getting conflicting information regarding licensing.
Questions:
1. Can SQL Server 2005 Express support what I need to do? (possibly many users)
2. Other than some of the fancy replication, analysis, etc that Express does not have, is there a good reason not to use Express Edtion?
3. Regarding SQL Server 2000 or 2005 (NOT Express): Does a single web application act as a single user thus the web application requires only one CAL. In other words: I am the only person who has direct access to the database. The ASP.NET web application will also have access to parts of the database. Will this scenario count as 2 "CALs"?
In order to use Replication, sql server installation must use per seat licensing. What if I have per server licensing, how can I change the licensing to per seat so I can use replication

I am so confused and I am getting no help from the Microsoft, two months and only stammering
from their representatives. I need to set up a Sql Server database that will allow internet access.
This is not an e-commerce situation. At most there will
be 10 known users of this system accessing statistical data. I had priced this system to use Backoffice,
but as I now read this is not legal for internet use. It also appears that a processor license is required for
internet access (not entirely clear on this). Access and MSDE also don't appear to be legal for internet access.
The customer is on a shoe string budget. If I use stand-alone
components the budget only covers an one processor SQL Server 2000 license. I don't like the idea of setting up
a database system with only one processor. Is there another Sql Server based option I am not aware of?
Its looking like a linux/mysql option - Yikes!
Is there any way I can see what is the existing license mode and no. of devices/processors allowed for the existing SQL Server setup
Thanks
