Beginner Setting Up To Code In VB
Aug 3, 2004
Hey everyone. I'm trying to set up the free microsoft sql 2000 server desktop engine so I can create databases in visual basic using ADO. I would like to do this locally, not over the network or anything. I'm on windows 98. the steps I took are:
1. I downloaded the ms 2000 server desktop engine (msde2000a.exe)
2. Downloaded the .net framework and installed that (version 1.1)
3. Extracted the desktop engine setup to a directory
4. browsed to that directory in DOS prompt and typed 'setup SAPWD="AStrongSAPwd" ... and then it installed
5. opened ODBC Data sources in the control panel
6. in the user DSN tab i highlighted "MQIS" and then pressed 'configure'
7. Pressed 'next' with the default values for all the fields: (name=MQIS, Description=SQL Server' Server=(local) )
8. with the radio button "with sql server authentication.." selected i click on 'client configuration'
9. after i click on that a box comes up saying 'add network library configuration'.
so.. i'm confused on this part.. What should i put for 'server alias' and 'server name'? I want to do this locally. I tried putting my local IP address and the word (local) but after i press 'OK' and then 'Next' (in that previous window that displays the client configuration button) i get an error that says:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 10061
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect())
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
So.. how do I set up my computer to be able to use the engine locally? I have the vbcode I want to work. It consists of creating a database using the "provider=SQLOLEDB..." line. I can submit the code if anyone wants to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ola,
I'm creating a report that contains 3 groups. The thing I want to find out is how can I change the toggleitem of a group, based on a value? Here is an example:
Invoice
regNumber
task
details
details
details
What I want is to switch the toglleitem of details to regnumber if task.value = 0
can it be done?
thx in advance

I've been reading some forums and I'm not able to get this to work. Basically I'm using an Oracle DB source and trying to import data into SQL server 2005. I guess the best connections to use are OLE DB.
Here are my current connections:
Source: Native OLE DBOracle Provide for OLE DB
Destination: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client
I'm running SP2 of SQL 2005.
Now, the issue is I'm not getting the code page stuff correct. In the data flow I'm just doing a OLE DB Source to SQl Server Destination. I'm not doing any transformations (I'm hoping to avoid doing that).
I'm getting an error:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
I'm looking at how to set the DefaultCodePage property in various forums, but nowhere does it say exactly how to do this. I've tried changing the "Extended Properties" and added AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage=TRUE in there, but that doesn't work. I've tried changing the Locale Identifier to 1252 that doesn't work. I've tried a combination of the two, doesn't work. Can somebody tell me two things:
1. what's the best/fastest/industry used method to get data from Oracle into SQL server via SSIS (please include the type of connections).
2. How the hell do you set the DefaultCodePage property. I would love a screenshot on this one as well.
Thanks,
Phil

I am not sure if this should go here it is a bit of a mixed bag, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
I am interested to know what ideas people might have in relation to the best way to structure/setup up an app that can connect to either an SQL Server Express DB or a Compact 3.5 DB. I have a small app that can be networked but a lot of people wont want a networkable version so I dont want them downloading an app that is 4mb but requires a 35mb SQL Express install just to get it to attach to what amounts to a local DB.
Both the System.Data.SQLClient and System.Data.sqlce namespaces include classes that share at least some (I haven't checked them all) classes that inherit from the same base class i.e. SQLConnection and SQLCeConnection both inherit DBConnection from System.Data.Common. so I am wondering if there is a tricky way that I can reduce my overall code overhead (mainly things like if statements to check which DB connection we want) by up casting both connections and managing them as DBConnections but at this stage I cant come up with one.
An in important point with this is that I intend to write SQL statements that are compatable with both SQL Express and SQL Compact, my DV structure is sufficiently simple enough that I can put up with the odd "wordy" SQL statement in favour of trying to use stored procedures and views in Express and then not being able to use them in Compact.
Cheers
Rob

hi there. this is my first post on this forum. im new to SQLServer so please go easy on me. :)
i am trying desperately to call a stored procedure from within another stored procedure. if i post my code below could somebody tell me where i am going wrong. the SP i have written is executing OK but the OUTPUT parameter Id_User is coming back as null, whereas it should be giving my a value there. i have tried changing the line 'EXEC sp_User_I' for 'INSERT INTO @User_Id EXEC sp_User_I' but this wont compile.
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Account_I]
@Username varchar(16),
@Password varchar(88),
@Surname varchar(32),
@DateBirth datetime,
@Email varchar(64),
@Id_Account int OUTPUT,
@Id_User int OUTPUT
AS
DECLARE @ErrorCode int;
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
EXEC sp_User_I
@Username,
@Password,
@FirstName,
@Surname,
@DateBirth,
@Email,
@Id_Country,
@Id_User
...do some other stuff here for the account...

Hi all,
I've been banging my head against this issue, and I haven't managed to find a solution. I was hoping that maybe somebody here has done something similar.
I am trying to get the latest available pricing from a Rate table, which is based on the customer ID and the provided date from another table (Table1).
This is what the code looks like, essentially:
select
table1.*
,table2.*
,table3.Rate
from table1
left outer join table2 on table1.Id = table2.Id
left outer join (
Select Top 1 Rate from RateTable
Where RateTable.date < table1.date
order by RateTable.date desc
) as table3 on table3.custId = table1.custId
I understood that table1.date can't be explicitly passed into the nested join within table3, but does anybody know a work around that can achieve the above example (the environment is SQL server 2000 and inside a view not on in a stored proc)?
Thanks in advance for any tips or workaround.

My company needs a database. My first thought was to do it in Access, because it's available! But I wanted to check that that was smart, what its limitations are, when it's better to move to bigger / more expensive software, etc.
It's probably going to have several hundred thousand records in and will grow by more than a hundred thousand every year. Is there a size limit?
Not that many fields, though - it's not that complicated a database.
Many thanks in advance for any help :beer:

Hi all,
This looks like a great place for SQL Server support. I hope you don't mind a few n00b questions.
I'm a sysop whose main experience is with Windows XP and SBS 2003. I'm also reasonably familiar with Access 97/2000, having programmed a few small databases. I've recently acquired a client who is running the premium version of SBS, which includes SQL Server 2005. This means I have to manage this thing. This *huge* thing. So my first question is: Where can I find information to get me started, first from a sysop perspective, and later from a Access programmer perspective. What is your experience?
Then two current issues. One is that for some reason SQL Server 2005 is using about 2 gigabytes of memory out of the box. Is this normal? Second, I can't for the life of me find the backup system. I can see backups being made of the AdventureWorks database (at 3:00), but even after 2 hours of searching I can't change the schedule. I knew how to do this in SQL Server 2000, but this version is very different.
I'd much rather figure these things out on my own, but this product is just too complicated to learn in a few days, and the memory usage issue is critical.
I'd be much obliged for any help you can offer.

Hi,I'm finishing up a beginning SQL class where we learned on an Oracledatabase and the transition to working on SQL Server is easy. The next moreadvanced course will be in PL/SQL, but I know I will be working on SQLServer in the workplace, so my question is if I should take this course.Will I benefit from the basic philosophies that will be covered, or will itjust make a transition for me more difficult? Will it be partly a waste oftime and money and I'd be better served getting a book and self teachingmyself? I know that in a greater sense learning something isn't necessarilya waste, but I mean from the perspective of my goal of being able to use SqlServer, will this course be useful?thanks.

Hi all....
I'm not good t adatabases and never had to install one before, but I have an easy question....
I need to install a big application that needs a database server in the back end to run, I have a box with SQL2005 installed on it and I need to let the server be the database server for this application that will be installed on a seperate box....
How would I be able to point this application to the database server? do I need to install a SQL client on this server and point it to the SQL2005 server in the back?
Do I need to create a "new database" on the SQL sever and give it a name and credentials then point the application to that database? if that is the case, how would I do it?
Thanks.

I have created two reports. One links to the other with a drillthrough. The linking works fine, but no values show up in the fields besides the group titles and column titles. Why is this happening?
The user is given a list of Counties with values. The Counties(in a matrix) are clickable for a drillthrough of Ages and Genders in the Counties. Looks something like this:
Years
Counties Total Crashes Fatalities
Cook 85 98
Manchester 2850 258
Sagamon 987 526
So when a user clicks a county, such as "Cook", this is displayed
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female 25 8
Male 55 15
9-15 Female 850 258
Male 185 35
16-22 Female 87 526
Male 10 35
But I am getting this in :
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female
Male
9-15 Female
Male
16-22 Female
Male
Whats going on? Can anyone make any suggestions? Just to let you know its based off of an Analysis Services Cube and not relational tables.

Hello,
First off, I'm completly new to SQL.
I'm trying to create an insert command that uses a select command as a value.
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy'
What I get from this is 5 rows updated which is what I wanted.
Although, I would like to insert a UserID from C# code or for now just 1151 for example.
I'm assuming that it would look something like this:
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID,UserID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy' , 1151
but I am not even close.
Please help me with this.
Thanks,
Guy

I have a question that I am sure is an easy answer for the pros, but being a beginner I need a bit of help. My problem is I am trying to average multiple columns and return a single output. Here is an example of the data and layout that I am looking at, and what the intended results would need to be.
TradeAmt TradePrice
100 36.75
200 38.75
100 36.80
The desired results would be the average Trade Price (36.7625 in this case). The problem I am running into is taking into account both columns. I know in other programming languages you can create a loop to multiply the TradeAmt by TradePrice, add the value to the next set of TradeAmy x TradePrice, and ultimately average it out. Since I am new to SQL I am not sure of the best way to proceed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have two database servers that I am interested in sending messeges between them. I am not interested in security or encryption at this point, only a simple message sending and recieving.
Can someone please provide simple scripts for object setup (certificates, queues etc) and message send and recieve ?
a link to such a script will be great as well. I am just a bit lost understanding all the new concepts (certificates, service, service binding.....)
Thank you

I need to restore multiple tables in a sequence. I am writing separate data flow for each table restore.
If there is any error in any of the table restore data flow, I want to write that error in a log file.
I am writing a script component in every data flow, which will get error code & error description, that i am writing in the log fie.
Is there a way to create a public reusable error logging script file, which we can call from every data flow and log only errors which we want?
Also want to confirm if the way i am doing is correct way or is there any easier/better way to achieve this?

I'd like to query my Tasks and TaskActivity Tables to return the following results:
Case Id
Estimated Hours
Total Hours
Remaining Hours
Because I'm an SQL novice, I've had to resort to a hack of creating three different views to get the results I want: I'm sure there's a better way (i.e. a single, well-formed query) but when I try that my numbers are all wrong.
Here's my hack to get the correct results:
First I have a view to get my Estimated Hours and CaseId from my TASKS table:
SELECT COALESCE (SUM(EstHrs), 0.00) AS EstHrs, CaseId
FROM dbo.Tasks
GROUP BY CaseId
Then I have a view to get my Total Hours and CaseId from my TASKACTIVITES table:
SELECT Tasks.CaseId, SUM(TaskActivity.Minutes / 60.00) AS TotalHrs
FROM TaskActivity RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Tasks ON TaskActivity.TaskId = Tasks.TaskId
GROUP BY Tasks.CaseId
Finally I have a third view (that I actually use in my program) to put it all together:
SELECT vTaskActual.CaseId, vTaskEstimates.EstHrs, vTaskActual.TotalHrs,
vTaskActual.TotalHrs - vTaskEstimates.EstHrs AS RemHrs
FROM vTaskActual INNER JOIN
vTaskEstimates ON vTaskActual.CaseId = vTaskEstimates.CaseId
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and, if this is not the correct forum for newbie questions like this, please let me know.
TIA,
Rob
