Hello, I would like to be able to construct a small SQL data base with Visual Basic.Net code for practice. I want to be able to add to the data base, subtract from the data base, perform all Sql procedures ( Select, delete, etc.) I would also like to include the ExecuteNonQuery, ExecuteScalar, and ExecuteReader methods. Can anybody out there recommend a good tutorial for me? Thank you so much. MarcAbelson_2000@yahoo.com
View 1 RepliesHello,
I have been using Access for quite some time now, and am very comfortable with it. I would like to take the next step though, and start working with SQL server.
What do I need to begin? Windows NT? Which version of SQL? enterprise or professional? (I noticed it's very expensive) Any other things I need to know before I begin?
Thank you,
Carrie

I purchased SQL Server 2005 and intend to take a class this month. I have installed it. How do I get started trying it out? I took an online tutorial, but I don't understand the mechanics of accessing the db to start with or if I even have a db to work with. Any suggestions?

How to learn sql from beginning?I would like to learn sql but don't have a clue.can you help me?where would I start?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I want to set a database which will be made of two parts:
- One main set of files which is shared among users
- Another set of files which is proper to each users and will be mainly used for processing infos.
Because I must support Windows 2000 and XP as O/S platforms, I can't use SQL Everywhere. It seems that I'm stuck with SQL Express. My questions are the following:
- Can SQL Express manage database files with variable namepath?
- How can I configure SQL Express so that such a file may reside on a dynamically configurable path, I mean, which would be configured by application?
Many thanks in advance for your help,

Greetings: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
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am just starting to look into this interesting piece of technology, but am a little confused on how this works. I apologize if this has been asked earlier. My question is with this specific SQL server distribution, what is being used as the front end (to create and view your database & tables)? I read that SQL Server Compact Edition RC1 will have runtime only - How will you then get an application to point to a database via SQL compact?
We are currently trying to install SQL Server 7 Enterprise edition using MS SELECT CDs. The install wizard stops at the beginning telling us that the used CD can only be used to install SQL Server clients with this computer although we used exactly this CD-ROM to install all other SQL Servers, too.
Did anybody have the same problem and knows what the reason for the abortion is?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all, I have never used SSIS before, but am looking to use it in this aspect:
1) A user uploads an Excel file into Sharepoint. This will be through a Document Library in a Sharepoint page.
2) When this file is uploaded, I'd like SSIS to notice there is a new file and process it - it will pull information from the Excel file, put it into a database, and - if this is possible - delete the new file.
3) This is iffy. Can SSIS then generate an InfoPath document from the information stored in the database? If not, I can just have a InfoPath query form.
I'd just like to know if this is possible. If you have any helpful links, please let me know - I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,

Hi, My package hangs and the log says DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning. Any ideas why this is happennig? This same package runs fine when I run it without turning on the transaction.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst, I consider myself a novice in Mssql. I've recently began the revision of a website that uses MS Sql Server 2000. In a effort to set up a working environment on my pc, I asked to get a copy of the sql server database. The response was something like "I'm not going to do that!" or "that's too much effort" which left me baffled. Furthermore, the size of the database shouldn't be the issue.
In Access all that is needed is the .mdb file to copy a database. In Sql Server is it that more complicated? My questions are as follows
How does someone copy a sql server database to another pc?
Were they expecting that I remotely test with Sql Server? Is that possible or practical? Isn't it prefered to have the db localized?
Thanks sincerely,

Hi,
I'm running the osql below from a batch file:
%SQLPath%osql -U%DBUser% -P%DBPswd% -S%SQLServer% -d%Gatewaydb% -w256 -b -n; -c -h-1 -iBatchScriptsSQL_Get_Create_Batch1.sql -oZ:mboxmmis835increate_835_1.bat
My output file comes out fine with one exception, there is a blank space at the beginning of each line. Is there a way to remove this ? One suggestion I have seen is to do this with BCP instaed of osql but I don't know if BCP can "run" my "SQL_Get_Create_Batch1.sql" file above. The ".sql" creates a temporary table and then does a select.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a SSIS package which pumps data from one server to other without any additional steps. There are 11 tables for which data is transferred. And this packages runs fine on two different environments but fails in one environment i.e. on SIT.
It doesn't throw any error and every time stops at the below step
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Pre-Execute phase is beginning.
Progress: Pre-Execute - 0 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 1 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 2 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 3 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 4 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 5 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 6 percent complete
Progress: Pre-Execute - 7 percent complete
It doesn't complete neither throws an error. Any pointers on what the problem could be
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a monster SQL query (SQL Server connection) that I'm trying to export to flat file. My package appears to just stick on the "Pre-Execute phase is beginning" stage. (I left it running overnight, and it's still going... no error message, I think it's just hung. If I include a "Top 10" in the my source query it completes without a problem. I'm wondering if it's an out-of-memory issue, but when I've run into this in the past there have been error messages generated. I've tried using both a Data Reader and an OLEDB Datasource. Does anyone have any ideas of what's going on and how I might fix it?
Thanks!!!Jess
How to modify values in a SQL Database. In the table PRDDEmpmaster there is a field called email_address, and for those fields that have a value I need to change that value to add { } opening/closing "curly braces" to that field.Â
For example,
RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM becomes
{RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM} . Nulls/empty fields remain as is.   Â
I wish I had a better idea about how to describe this but here goes. I'm trying to display a list of majors/minors/graduate programs for a particular user. Now, I've gotten it display perfectly and was able to append (Graduate), (Major), (Minor) to each of the 3 different sections. My question is is it possible to add like rows that don't actually exist in table to the beginning of the select? For instance I want to add All and General before the rest of the select. I was also wondering where I should do a group by cuz I'd like to keep it in blocks of like graduates then majors and finally minors but currently it is just doing it alphabetically...Anyways below are the tables and at the end the current stored procedure i'm using, which works great...just not to the degree I'm aiming for.

Hi
Folx,
I
am new to SQL Server and I am struggling.
Versions:
Microsoft
SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version
9.00.1399.00
Microsoft
SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00
I
would like to
01.
create a temp table
02.
load the temp table from a flat file
03.
insert into a destination table the rows from the temp table where NOT EXIST the
primary key of the destination table.
ISSUES:
Flat
File Source will not accept that a resource will be available that does not yet
exist (the temp table)
I
set the Flat File Source to €œIgnore Failure€? and ran the package. It ran with
warnings but did not insert the new rows.
The
€œIgnore Duplicates€? radio button is €œgrayed out€? because the index is clustered
Now
I could work around this thing by keeping a table just for purposes of this
process flow. I am opposed to that philosophically and would prefer to do this
in the way that I consider appropriate€¦is there a solution?
Thanks,
Bill
I have a ssis package created in VS2005 that transforms a SQL query result into an excel spreadsheet. The DataFlow uses a DataReaderSource to query the data and an ExcelDestination to transform the data. The problem is that in the resulting spreadsheet any columns containing string data have a single quote inserted in front of the data. So a string like [My data] becomes ['My data]. When I preview it in the Excel Destination Editor it looks right (without the single quote). What is happening here, is it a bug or does something need to be configured. I checked all the properties that I could find. This is working nice, if I could only overcome this problem.

I've created a number of tables, views, sproc, and functions whose names begin with "sys_", but when I tried to create a multi-statement table-valued function with this type of name, I got:

System table 'sys_test' was not created, because ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not enabled.
I had a quick look in this forum for 1706 (and on Google) but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know for certain if this is a bug in SQL2K?

108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.
