Writing UTF-8 Data To SQL Server
May 5, 2007
Hi,
I am working on a project where data is stored remotely in a Postgres database. I need to download some of the postgres data and store it in the SQL Server. The data in PG is in UTF-8. I use another application to write the data to the PG database. To talk to the PG database I am using the npgsql data provider (http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php). The data I am trying to download is arabic.
Everything seems to work fine except when I get the data from the PG DB and write it to SQL Server. I've done lots of debugging and can see that the data is correctly in arabic write until I do the update on the local dataset which saves it in SQL server. For some strange reason it makes the data into jibberish (just question marks).
I am using SQL Server express 2005. If anyone can help me with this I'd be extremely grateful as this has become a big problem and I've tried to find a solution without any success.
Thanks in advance.

I am having a problem with an ASP program that inserts data into a table on
SQL Server 2000.
No error msg is returned upon submission and the confirmation msg that
displays after the commit command is sent to the server displays, but when
we go to the DB, the data sent isn't there. This is an occassional
occurance and usually the data is there, just some times, it isn't. Other
forms function just fine, using the *exact* same file to perform the submit
function (all the forms "include" the same submit page). The only
difference we can find is a trigger on the table having problems which
executes upon update, capturing the information about who updated the record
when. From what we can see, this is the only programmatic difference. The
other thought tickling our minds was the possiblity of a simultaneous
submission, since all the users submit with the same db user name via the
form, if user 1's data gets written but not yet commited, user 2's data is
submitted, then the commit transaction is submitted by user 1 as the program
steps run in sequence, would the commit by user one cause eiither of the
records inserted but not commited to be lost? If so, why wouldn't that be causing problems on other forms ...

I have a project were I will have it so that users can sign in and change information on an SQL server. The catch is that this site will be from a different domain name and from a different hosting company then where the SQL database is located. Sorry if this is a dumb question but how can I utilize asp.net to change and view an SQL database that is located else-where.
For example: a user logs into www.something.com and he/she can view and edit SQL tables from www.somethingelse.com's database.
Thanks in advance.

I am getting the following error running a data flow that splits the input data into multiple streams and writes the results of each stream to the same destination table:
"This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed."
The flow starts with a single source table with one row per student and multiple scores for that student. It does a few lookups and then splits the stream (using Multicast) in several layers, ultimately generating 25 destinations (one for each score to be recorded), all going to the same table (like a fact table). This all is running under a transaction at the package level, which is distributed to a separate machine.
Apparently, I cannot have all of these streams inserting data into the same table at one time. I don't understand why not. In an OLTP system, many transactions are inserting records into the same table at once. Why can't I do that within the same transaction?
I suppose I can use a UnionAll to join them back together before writing to a single destination, but that seems like an unnecessary waste and clutters the flow. Can anyone offer a different solution or a reason why this fails in the first place?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am trying to use a recordable CD as the storage medium for a comma delimited flat file destination in an SSIS package. I am running the developer edition of SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP SP2.
I discovered that in the file connection manager for a flat file, the path to the file can point to a directory on the CD-R. When I set the file name for the connection manager and point it to a file on the CD, the path looks something like this;
C:Documents and SettingsjuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftCD BurningArchiveMonthlyMCTxnDetail_Archive.txt
When I run the package, the packge executes without a problem, but no 'burning' occurs. When I check the directory specified in 'file name', there is a header in the directory that states, 'Files Ready to Be Written to the CD'. The file I want to write to is listed there.
Is there some executable I can kick off in another task to complete the process of burning the file to the CD?
Thank you for your help!

Hello, historically it has been frowned upon to store textual data in sqlserver. In v6.5 and before, 2k pages were allocated regardless of actual data size. Is this still the case in v7.0? I have a situation where the intranet application wants to store documents/images/etc. Currently, we need to have security granted to each user who connects to the web server to allow them to write files. However, if we write the data via sqlserver, then the application only needs permission. Is this the recommended method? What other options can I use? tia, Lee

Hi guys,I have been trying to write data from a database to XML files andalthough i have been successful in doing that, the file(s) that are madeare not of the form that I would want.I am using:SQLDataSet.WriteXml(strFileName, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);to generate the files where strFileName is the name of the file. Thefiles when viewed with XML Editor are seen as lines of data instead ofthe regularly generated XML where each row is one below the other. Whenviewed with WordPad/Notepad i see elements />< betweeen the dataand somehow I think this has to do something with the problem.Can someone help me with this?? Any help or suggestion would be greatlyappreciated.Thanks.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi,
I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description
I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I was using for years an application that had an MSDE database.
Recently. I've upgraded my computer to Windows Vista, so I had to upgrade MSDE to SQL Express.
I've managed to attach the old MSDE database of the application to SQL Express, and I am able to retrieve my data from within the application.
My problem is that I can not write or update data from within the application anymore. However, If I open a table in SQL Management Studio Express I can write/ update data with no problem.
The company that build the application I was using doesnt exist any more so I cant take any support from them.
The only thing I know for a fact is that the application is connecting to the database using the sa user.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Can someone show me the command string required to write data out to 2 or 3 tables at once? How about how to write 2 entries at once? Write now my solution writes 1 record to a table and then I write somewhere around 40-200 records to a second child . Write now I'm writing like this:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeand I'm just wondering if there is a better approach, such as writing all the data at once. Something like:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> Add 5 records in table #2 --> close

First of all let me say that ASP.NET a new programming environment for me so please forgive my ignorance.
Can someone please tell me how to write data to a SQL table that is a Binary data type? I have a stored procedure on the SQL server that I am calling to insert data into a table. I build a parameter list and set the values. It worked just fine before I added a binary field to the SQL table. My problem is that I don't know how to set the Binay data type to pass it to the stored procedure. Here is part of the code:
GetCMD = Myconnection.CreateCommand
GetCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
GetCMD.CommandText = "SCHEMANAME.InsertLineItem"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("HEADER_ID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 150)
GetCMD.Parameters("HEADER_ID").Value = "some value"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("@OPTIONS", SqlDbType.Binary)
GetCMD.Parameters("@OPTIONS").Value = HOW DO I SET THIS VALUE????
rowsaffected = GetCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
I assume serialization but have not figured out how. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi All,
I currently have the problem that I have to write some data into a SUN Directory Server 5.2 LDAP directory.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I already found some articles in this forum that provide solutions how to access
the active directory - but how can I access a none Microsoft LDAP Server?
Is there any way to use the OLE DB Destination or do I have to implement my own LDAP adapter in VB.net?
Thanks a lot for help.

Hey everyone I've got this question that has me stuck for the last few days but its an important part of my website.....What I am trying to do is basicly have a user be able to upload a file, have that uploaded file plus some other info automaticly display on other parts of my site, and have a different user eventually be able to download that file....I have thought about allowing the file upload as a BLOB but still cannot find a proper way to execute this using VB, plus I have heard that this way of doing it is not reccommeneded cause databases were not designed to store large files like this, lots of articles recommened having the file upload to a Folder on your server then get the binary data for the file that can be placed in a database to refrence that particular file.....Well this also proves to be a lot harder then said here is what I got so far (written in C#) protected void UploadBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (FileUpLoad1.HasFile)
{
FileUpLoad1.SaveAs(@"C:Documents and SettingsAdamMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsWebsiteFiles" + FileUpLoad1.FileName);
Label1.Text = "File Uploaded: " + FileUpLoad1.FileName;
}
else
{
Label1.Text = "No File Uploaded.";
}
}
and here is the asp part of the code that goes with it<asp:FileUpLoad id="FileUpLoad1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button id="UploadBtn" Text="Upload File" OnClick="UploadBtn_Click" runat="server" Width="105px" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
Now from what I know is I need to get the binary of the file which I have read you can do with the Page.Request.Files statement but again not sure how I would impliment this. Does anyone have any suggestions on which way I should take when dealing with this should I try and just use the BLOB method or use the binary refrence method? and if so how would I impliment this, heck even some good tutorials on the subject would be great... Thanks.....Adam

I want to create a SQL query should contain a parameter for example:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE UniqueID = @TextBox OR FirstName = @TextBox OR FamilyName = @TextBox,
and when I type in my TextBox the ' * ' character, it should retrieve the whole table...

I am using a foreach loop, with the data from an ado recordset, which contains the table name that I wish to write data to an OLEDB data dest. The table names are retrieved from an execute sql task in the an object var. Within the foreach loop, for each table name, I then use a datareader to an ado.net source to pull data from that table, via an expression construct into a variable - i.e. "select * from " + @[User::table_name]. This works fine for the first table, in which mappings are setup using the SSIS design environment. The data is retrieved. I then use a variable and set the data access mode for the oledb destination to "Table name or view name variable". This also saves data fine for the first table in the loop in the oledb dest. When the next table name is retrieved from the ado provider in the foreach loop, the datareader fails, as it still thinks the metadata mappings are from the first table, which was used for the mapping in the design environment. I.E. FIN_CLASS is a column from the first table in the loop.
Error: 0xC0202005 at Data Flow Task, DataReader Source [7181]: Column "FIN_CLASS" cannot be found at the datasource.
I have set the following properties, that I thought (in my feeble mind), are supposed to avoid that behavior. For the datareader, I set ValidateExternalMetadata to false, and for the data flow task (container for the datareader), I set DelayValidation to true. These settings, according to the doc, are supposed to evaluate metadata for the datareader source at runtime (not design time), so that the column metadata is dynamic, and so that the subsequent oledb destination can use the "data access mode" for the oledb destination of "Table name or view name variable".
If I cannot get this to work, I have 2 options: Use OPENQUERY via dynamic t-sql statements, OR create 30 separate flows in SSIS - one for each table - not looking forward to that one.

I have a program where I have to do a weekly data upload of approx 1,500 records. I've written the sql, but need to know how I can add static header text to the SQL statement.the text I need in the header is Reportname(Static string) + #rows (Rowcount of the sql, int) + department (String static) I'm planning on writing it and saving it as a package, then schedule it to run every Friday at 5:00. But I have been reading a little on Reporting Services and wonder if people think it' might be the way to go? Is it a whole new area of security issues? Or is it worth installing and learning? I will have more and more reports I need to write that will increase in complexity, and want to know if I want to keep writing querys by hand, or use reporting services. Thanks in advance! Dan

Could someone please help me out? I need to write a sql stored proc to query the following table.My SQL experience is very week. If someone can help me with this, I will be happy to pay you $40 foryour help.
I need the proc to do the following:1.) For every Superintendent in a region, country state and county; return the state name, superintendent name, the county name and and a string which is a comma delimited list of schools they supervise. See the sample output italicised and bold.
So the big challenge here is to also return a string that is a concatenation of school names for a particularSuperintendent in a given state and county. For example: East,Kennedy,Apolo,Morrison.
So basically the stored proc should accept input parameters of the Region, Country, State, and County
Here is the data table:
REGION COUNTRY STATE SUPER_INTENDENT PHONE_NO SCHOOL County
NA USA Texas Mike Andrews 789-3614 East LakeNA USA Texas Mike Andrews 789-3614 Kennedy LakeNA USA Texas Mike Andrews 789-3614 Apolo LakeNA USA Texas Mike Andrews 789-3614 Morrison LakeNA USA Texas Amy Markson 789-2134 Anderson MaylorNA USA Texas Amy Markson 789-2134 Molina MaylorNA USA Texas Amy Markson 789-2134 Polima MaylorNA USA Ohio Terry Ellis 966-8314 Kingston KeelNA USA Ohio Terry Ellis 966-8314 Martin KeelNA USA Ohio Terry Ellis 966-8314 Eastmore KeelNA USA Ohio Terry Ellis 966-8314 Canondale Keel

Any way to have a process run that will not write its changes to the transaction log? I have a process that runs every three hours and has a huge impact on the transaction log (it becomes larger than the database itself). We do hourly backups of the transaction log and normally it is reasonably sized but when this process runs, it gets HUGE.
The process takes source data, massages it and writes it to summary tables. It is not something we need to track as we can recreate the summary tables if needed and it has no impact on the source tables.
Everything is driven through a stored procedure. Is there a way to run a stored procedure and tell it that nothing it does should be written to the transaction log?
