What Express Content Do You Want MS To Provide?
Dec 14, 2005
Folks,
I'm the project lead for SQL Server Express in Microsoft (as well as owning the Storage Engine). I'm going to make sure that threads on this forum get answered - I see a bunch with no answer so far.
Now to the point - we’re in the process of assessing the content that exists to help people learn and use SQL Server Express. This includes demos, tutorials, whitepapers, Webcasts, Starter Kits, and any other type of content you could imagine. So this is a great chance to TELL US WHAT YOU WANT! We’ll integrate your feedback and make sure that we try and address the most requested areas of content. Please be as specific as you can.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The overly complex MSDN library is proving virtually useless to me. To give you some background, I've programmed PHP / MYSQL websites, in-depth VBA programs for Excel and a bit of non-database work in various languages - I'm an amateur.
I've just bought a new PC (2g Ram, Core 2 Duo, Vista Home Basic) and would like to run Web Developer Exp, VB Exp and SQL Server 05 Exp.
Note. I have installed all three and run through Microsoft's video tutorial, until I hit a snag at the start of Tutorial 2. When try to create a new SQL Database in WebDev, an error saying either SQL Server is not installed or operating correctly (could Microsoft provide a more specific error or what????)
The questions Microsoft need to answer are:
1. What are the hardware requirements for SQL Server 05?
2. What are the operating system requirements for SQL Server 05?
3. What does IIS have to do with SQL Server 05?
4. How do you know if you meet the IIS requirements for running SQL Server 05?
5. Exactly what elements of SQL Server 05 are affected by different levels of IIS?
6. Can anti-virus or firewall software cause issues.
Please, some one from Microsoft respond.

I was able to view table content easily before, but after Ireinstalled everything, I cannot find the option to view table contentin MS SQL Server Express. I can define table with no problem. Checkout the screen snapshot below, from which you'll see that the popupmenu frrom right-clicking on the table name does not have the "Opentable" option. What is going on?http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/...839620d0b_o.png

I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd

Hi all,
I just found that the content of my Database "ssmsExpressDB" is gone, but the name "ssmsExpressDB" remains in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express. If I delected the name "ssmsExpressDB" and executed the following .sql:
exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'ssmsExpressDB',
@filename1 = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatassmsExpressDB.mdf',
@filename2 = N'C:Program filesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatassmsExpressDB_log.LDF'
GO
I got the following error message:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatassmsExpressDB.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
And I have closed all my projects and I do not know what " The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" is all about!? Please help and tell me how I can re-attach the content of my "ssmsExpressDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
====================================================================================
I found the "ssmsExpressDB" is being used by my VB 2005 Express project "Hello-SQLCLR-1": in the Database Explorer, Data Connections place. How can I put it back to the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express? Please help and advise.

Some of my customers ask for backup their databases, mainly MSSQL & MS Exchange.
I search for any of backup vendor; there are 2 choices, service provider and software publisher. Service provider eliminates my technical support on backing up my clients databases:cool: ; software publisher offer a chance for me to create new business line:rolleyes: .
What would your gurus prefer and why?
Any admirable company you can name?

I have never applied a service pack to sql server 2000. Someone tells me that you have an option of supplying the SA password but do not have to and the service pack is applied just as if you did supply the SA password. This sounds odd to me. So, is it true? I am asking because our server instance shows "SP4" but a fix that was supposed to be included in SP4 was apparently not as the problem persists (link from sql server 2005 to 2000 fails when referenced in sql2005). I was thinking that whoever ran the service pack may not have provided the SA password so some of the SP4 was not applied???
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "s-1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Thanks.

I have a database that stores the information of a third party system. The system where the database is running has reached its performance and hardware upgrade limits. I don€™t want to separate the database objects in two different database servers. How can I add a second server to increase performance? A cluster will help me in this case? Or there is any other way to group servers for performance?

Background is that I am recreating charts in SSRS that were being created in Excel. The source data is residing in a SQL Server database. I'm having a hard time coming up with a SQL query to provide a 6 month forecast. I can get my data into a pivot (within a stored procedure) in the following format:
Period---------Date--------------------------------Percent
1--------------2013-11-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3762
2--------------2013-12-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3584
3--------------2014-01-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3604
4--------------2014-02-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3292
5--------------2014-03-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3519
[Code] ....
I need to forecast the next 6 dates 12/1/2014 thru 5/1/2015 using the last 6 months in the data set (periods 8 thru 13)
Period---------Date--------------------------------Percent-------Forecast
1--------------2013-11-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3762
2--------------2013-12-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3584
3--------------2014-01-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3604
4--------------2014-02-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3292
5--------------2014-03-01 00:00:00.000---------0.3519
6--------------2014-04-01 00:00:00.000---------0.4064
[code].....
how to use the first table to generate the forecast values in the second table.

Hi everyone,
Primary platform is Framework 2.0
Our current service throws on-demand .DTSX and now we'd like that will throw old ETL 2000 too.
I'd like to know if success or not success when calling dtspkg.dll from my managed code (vb).
Is it possible or not? I only capture errors for the sake of TRY..END TRY but I don't know how the hell to know
if the dts execution was successful.
Execute method not returns anything.
Currently my schema is the following:
paquete = New DTS.Package2
paquete.LoadFromSQLServer("SRVDESA1", , , DTS.DTSSQLServerStorageFlags.DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection, _
, , , "pruebaenric")
paquete.FailOnError = True
Try
paquete.Execute()
Catch ex As Exception
' stuff
End Try
paquete = Nothing
I've tried to use WITHEVENTS but it's useless at all from there.
Events are not fired. I though that RCW created for this could be able to call them...
Private Withevents paquete as dts.package2
Private paquete_OnError()
stuff
Private paquete_OnProgress()
stuff
Thanks for any input related with,

Hello everybody,
I'm new using ASP 2.0, I was trying to find out how do i tell a SqlDataSource the parameters it will be using for the select query. I was looking at the Configure Data Source wizard and when I press the where botton to create the parameters, I do not know how two of the available Source selections work which are: (Query String, and Session). What I want to understand is how do I pass the parameter value during the form load like I used to do with ASP 1.1.
I used to write: during the pageload event:
me.dataAdapter.selectparameter("@param").value = [myVar]
me.dataAdapter.fill(Me.ds)
I tried to do something like this for the SqlDataSource but didnt work.
can anyone tell me how can I acomplish this?
thanks a lot.

I am using SQL 2000 running a couple of large (up to 70GB) databases. I am currently backing up to disk, which is working fine.
I now want to backup the databases using the Snapshot feature of my storage array. To do this however, I first need to put my databases (3 of them) into 'backup mode', so as to stop transactions being written to the database, and provide a consistent database to backup.
Has anyone had any experience with this feature? Microsoft provide a sample C++ program called snaphot.cpp that puts a single database into 'backup mode'. I am not particularly clued up on C++. Can multiple databases be put into this mode simultaneously? Is this particularly difficult to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a requirement to provide data in a denormalized form from normalized tables. Working in SSIS.
I have two tables: EmployeeCountry and Country.
EmployeeCountry
EmployeeId (PK)(FK)
CountryId(PK)(FK)
Country
CountryId (PK)
CountryName
There will only be a max of 3 Country entries for each Employee. So I want to select the EmployeeId and get the three CountryIds so it would look like this:
Employee
EmployeeId

I need to calculate the success rate of our OS Patch deployments. the data from system is stored in SQL with corresponding states (installed, missing, ...)
I would need to provide monthly report that shows how successful the deployment was for particular patchgroup. I have the following 2 dummy tables (just used as example)
table5 ==> Table containing patch groups + patches
table6 ==> Table with machines names, patches and patch state
select * from table5
pgrouppatch
GROUP1PATCH1
GROUP1PATCH2
GROUP1PATCH3
GROUP1PATCH4
[Code] ....
Result would be
pgroup install missing
group1 80% 20%
group2 50% 50%
group3 55% 45%
Ideally I would like to do this in T-SQL but if necessary can also do this in .NET Function. Only mention this but both Patchgroup and machines are dynamic each month can be different.
below are the sql scripts to create tables and populate with data
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table5](
[pgroup] [varchar](128) NOT NULL,
[patch] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table6](
[machinename] [varchar](128) NOT NULL,
[Code] ...

Why don't you folks (SQL SERVER Management Studio Team or SQL SERVER Database Engine Team) provide an option by using which I would be in a position to know what all the other objects are depended on a selected object and vice versa. That means:
When I select a Table within the SQL SERVER Management Studio if there is an option for understanding "Which all the objects (tables or views) it is depended on (I mean Foreign key and etc... kind of relations) and also Which all the objects (Tables, Views, Stored Procedures and etc...) are using this table", It would be of great help for all developers.
I can be contacted over kotis@microsoft.com

I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. "
Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database?
I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider?
Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition?
Look forward to all comments?
Regards
Philip

I want to create the most effective way (google) to have content displayed on a web page.
Currently, we are updating to SQL and populating to web via calling SQL statements hardcoded to page. I want to know if this is ok to do, or should we be reading from a static XML file that is updated?
I think the XML is the way to go being that i may have answered my own question, but i was curious to what the experts on asp.net had to say.

Hi everyone,
I'm just using TEXTBOX control to save data into my DB. My question is, if I have multiple lines of sentences, it does not store as what it looks like. For example;
Hello, Mike
It stores into the database as "Hello, Mike" and if I read from the database, it does not have seperate lines and shows it like this;
Hello, Mike
How can I store the contents into database and make the contents as original? (Sorry for the poor English, but I hope you understand it.)

HiI have developed a sql procedure for updating some xml content using SQL 2005 xQuery features.For example:Declare @xmlContent = '<books><book name="asp"/>< book name = "sql"/></books>'--Now I want to add attribute "book_id" to the xml content.SET @xmlContent.modify('insert attribute book_id{"1" } into (/books/book[@name="asp"])[1] ')SET @xmlContent.modify('insert attribute book_id{"2" } into (/books/book[@name="sql"])[1] ')SELECT @xmlContent--OUTPUT will be<books><book name="asp" book_id="1"/><book name="sql" book_id="2"/></books>QUESTIONQ1. Do we have any extension or plugin such that this SQl 2005 xquery feature can be incorporated in SQL 2000?Q2. If the answer for Q1. is no (as I expect), then do we have any TSQL feature in SQL 2000 for modifying xml content?I found all examples in SQl 2000 related with "openxml" function which performs the select kind of operations only. Like selecting data in XML format OR converting xml data in to tabular format. But I couldn't find any xml modification TSQL in SQl 2000 which can add element/attributes or change values.one workaround could be to consider xml content as string and use string functions to modify the content.But is there any more sensible approach available in SQL 2000?

Okay, moving to developing a small site that will be storing articles - that is a site largely consisting of html marked up articles with images. We already have an SQL Server so it is becoming the back-end.
So, since I'm not an SQL Server expert, some general advice on this would be appreciated? The articles, as I say in HTML (largely just markup for titles, and general text) would be stored in the DB? As Text datatypes?
How about the images...on disk or in SQL?
