View 3 Replies View RelatedBenefits Of Using SQL Over XML
Jan 22, 2007Hi,
I have a question relating to XML and SQL. My company currently runs a website which allows its clients to log in, view their accounts and transaction history online. The website is totally read only with the exception of changing passwords.
The data is taken from our back office system overnight which runs an oracle 8i database (we cannot like our website to the database due to the agreement we have in place with our software supplier). The data is written to a CSV file which is then converted into XML. The XML file is saved to the webserver and is referenced by the website.
The structure of the website has a relationship where the Client has a Manager who can see their clients accounts, a Branch level that can see all of their Managers and the underlying clients and then finally a company level that sees everything.
We are finding that using XML is causing a real issue in performance and I was wondering if migrating the website to SQL server would improve the performance of the queries etc .
Any advice would be gratefully recieved

View 3 Replies View RelatedAny Benefits To Using A Db That's Placed Under A Data Connection?
Jan 16, 2008I find that in Database Exporer in Visual Web Developer, I can specify a DB in two ways, as exemplified here:
Data Connetctions + ke_test_db.mdf + ssftec023-lsqlexpress.master.dbo + ke_test_db2.mdf
Experimentation shows that mdf files that can be put under the "sqlexpress" item (ke_test_db2.mdf in the example) are those that SQL Server Configuration Manager Express knows about, whereas files that I create via adding an item in Solution Exporer appear at the top level (ke_test_db.mdf). My question is, is there any advantage or disadvantage to either architecture? I.e., Is there any advantage to being sure that one's DB files appear under the sqlexpress connection item?
Thanks!

SQLDatasource Benefits/drawbacks - When To Use?
Apr 14, 2008Hi,
I've never really used the SQLDatasource, I usually fill a dataset & use that. When would you use an SQLDatasource? I notice it doesn't return dataviews but I also noticed that you don't need to open the conenction. Any ideas on best practice?
Many thanks
Simple Function Benefits
May 18, 2007Hey all,
Very simple question from a real n00b: In many of my stored procedures I am repeating a CASE statement where I'm replacing null values with zero, like this:
(CASE WHEN @Field IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE @Field END)
I have many SPs where I have that code repeated literally dozens of times. Is there any performance benefit to creating a function to perform this task and using that instead of the repeated CASE statements? Or am I trying to be too clever?
Thanks!

Benefits/drawbacks With NVarChar(max)
Feb 15, 2006Hi,
I wonder if there are any drawbacks with NVarChar(max) contra e.g. NVarChar(40) when it comes to performance and amount of storage used?
Are there other arguments to use e.g. NVarChar(40) than that you have more control of how long the strings are when you set the upper limit?

Bit-data From SQL Server 2000 (2005 Working, 2000 Doesn't)
May 19, 2008Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael
View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem Using Access 2000 As A Front-end To SQL Server 2000 Tables
Jul 23, 2005I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

Access 2000 On Windows 2000 Can't Interact With SQL Server 7.0
Mar 13, 2001We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
