SQL Server 2000 - Absolute Beginner! Please Help Me
Nov 15, 2002Hello there...
Pending receiving the full version from the higher powers at my work, I have downloaded the Evaluation version of SQL 2000, and set up an instance on my desktop machine. This was set up on an administrator account, and works fine.
My main aim with SQL 2000 is to upsize all the companies piddling little Access 97 databases into an SQL backend and keep the 97 frontends. I have migrated some of the tablesets into SQL, and linked to them in Access 97 and they work fine.
However, the problems are when I try and set up ODBC. When I enter ODBC as a different user on the server itself, the ODBC list of available SQL Servers shows me the correct server information - my PC ID no, followed by the server name. However, when I try and connect with another machine on the network, it only displays the PC ID no of the server, and not the server name. When I attempt to add the server with just the PC name, it doesnt find the server - same when I add the name of the database to the end of the PC ID no.
I'm sure there is something really basic I have not done, but I'm totally stumped now. I am using Windows Auth, and have set up the login of the other PC I am trying to connect, as an authorised user.
Please help me - I am just a doofus, please feel free to laugh at me...

For MSFT: Change Of Behaviour In Configurations In SP1???
Jul 7, 2006In SSIS SP1, if you use a .dtsconfig file that references a non-existent object in your package then you get a warning.
I don't have a pre-SP1 install to hand so I can't test it out but I seem to remember that pre-SP1 this used to cause an error.
Can anyone confirm that this behaviour has been changed in SP1?
Thanks

Sending Table Variable Argument Using MSFT JDBC Driver
Nov 21, 2006
I want to call a stored procedure that has a table variable as its parameter. I am using the MSFT SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver 1.1, however I don't know how to construct a table variable from the Java side to place within a CallableStatement. The CallableStatement interface allows me to set various types of parameters (e.g. Boolean, Byte, Blob, Array, etc.) but I don't see anything for table variable.
Is there a way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBeginner- Need Help With SQL Server 2005 Express
Mar 22, 2007I am an absolute beginner with SQL Server, and I have now developed an app that needs to store, read, and search for saved data. Basically, my program will have to search through the databse to find a particular URL match to a string I supply, and then retrieve the Username and Password data that is associated with that URL, storing those to strings.
My problem is, I've learned how to create a database and tables in the IDE, but all of the examples on the web that I've found only talk about using SQL Server with Visual Basic 2005 in uses such as databinding to controls and displaying the database in datagrids and such on the form. I need help with how to interact with the database in code, seeing as the user of the program will likely never actually see the database contents- the data will be for the program's use only.
So, I was wondering if anyone could provide/guide me to some helpful information on interacting with SQL databases through code in VB Express 2005.
Thanks for any help.
SQL Server Book
Jun 23, 2006Hi mates,
My company has just started in the SQL Server's world and we are going to buy books
on this software. Our systems will run on SQL Server Standard Ed. 2000.
The question is: should I buy books on SQL Server 2005 ? Or 2000?
I'm not quite sure what kind of material to buy nor the differences between them.
Could anyone give me a hand with this?

Beginner To SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Feb 22, 2006Hi,
I am fairly new to Visual Studio 2005 (using C#) and am writing an application for the company I work in. I have got a really nice functioning form working and am now planning what to do about the massive database I need to create (I don't think it will ever get to the 4GB limitation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition).
Can someone please help with some simple questions please?
1: I am decoding a specific file format and extracting the information for the main database. Fortunately, each record in the data file I am decoding has unique identity codes (so this will be great for the ID of each entry). Because the software has to do this by itself (the encoded file contains more than 1,120,000 records which will shrink to about 30,000 records, all different sizes once decoded). Can each record in a SQL server database contain a different number of elements? If so, what is this known as (I have read a little about jagged arrays - is there a similar thing in SQL server databases)?
2: As the program will decode the file and assemble the database, can I make my program create the database from scratch and manipulate the database rather than me having to define a database for my program to fill? If so, where can I find some info on doing this?
3: The database file will be stored on our office network and has to be accessible to more than one person at a time (in this case, a maximum of 6 users - well within the 25 users my book says is possible with SSE2005). Is it more complex to develop multi-user access to the database?
Just in case you wonder what books I have got, they are "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Developers" and "Getting Started with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition".
Thank you!
A Bit Of Beginner Confusion About SQL Server 2005 Encryption
Dec 26, 2007Hi,
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
Thank you for any thoughts!

Beginner Q: Pocket PC Access To SQL Server 2005
Feb 28, 2006Hi,
I am a total beginner to Pocket PC, and a 2-month beginner to SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. I made a database Pillbox.mdf, and wrote a Windows Forms program to access it. It's really easy. I just added a Data Source, chose tables and Stored Procedures, and dragged them onto my forms. It automatically created adapter classes and a DataGrid for me.
Next, I wanted to do the same thing for Pocket PC. I did the same drag and drop thing, and was happy to see the empty DataGrid in the emulator (design-time) form. From here on, trouble. When I ran it, it said it could not connect.
So some questions:
1) Does my connection string have to change? It has 3 parts: machine name, database name, and security spec. It specifies my machine name. Is that ok? Is it known by the Pocket PC, or do I have to specify http something? Does my machine have to change any settings to become a "server"? It's just a standalone PC with no network. I understand the emulator chooses to pretend that it's not "on" my computer. Is the database name known by the Pocket PC? (Same type of question.) And is Windows authentication ok on a Pocket PC? Or must I create a name/password pair on SQL server?
2) When I went to modify my connection string, I noticed a setting to specify the Data source. For SQL Server 2005, it asks me for a dbo, but for SQL Server Mobile, it asks me for a *.sdf file. What type of file is this? Is there a way to generate this from my other database? Is it not possible to have the the Pocket PC app point to the same database as the Windows app? Oh... does the sdf represent the Pocket PC's local database? If so, then my question is just how to populate it. But I will also have to update the main database at some point. I guess I'm confused about how Pocket PC's are supposed to work.
3) Do I have to deploy SQL CE or something? I think I read that Visual Studio does it automatically. It's a bit hard reading blogs because many comments talk about things that are now contained in VS. One blog was talking about 7 dlls that need to be downloaded to the Pocket PC.
4) My application just has to get a table, store it on the Pocket PC, and allow the user to modify and update records. The bandwidth should be low, as the table is small and updates should not be frequent. Is this a reasonable design? What I am asking is if it's ok to have direct database access, or if I should package up the data in some custom format, and use a Web service to pass the data back and forth. I have read and understood articles why you should not pass a Dataset in a web service, but the point was just that web services can be interoperable, so why spoil that with MS-only Datasets. In my case, I just want to get this simple app up and running quickly.
Thanks in advance.
Beginning SQL Server Book?
Jul 23, 2005Greetings:I would like to ask for recommendations for a good beginning book onSQL Server. My web host offers a 100MB SQL Server database as part ofthe package, and I'd like to use the feature to learn.I am proficient in Access and familiar with basic connectivity to itvia ASP. I don't have my own license for SQL Server (and currentlycan't afford one) so all development will need to be done byinterfacing with the remote database. As such, I won't need a lot ofexplanation regarding installation and software setup.Does anyone here know of a good study resource for someone in thisscenario?Many thanks in advance,Kay
