Help Me Gauge The Effort In My First Db Setup
Jan 1, 2004
Hello there... Happy New Year!
A client of mine, a group of 4 doctors, are interested in implementing a small office network in which they will switch to a digital filing system. I have recommended a Microsoft Server 2003 system, therefore the patient information will be stored in the SQL server.
I have never administered, administrated?? (see, I really need help here!) a database, but have built small databases from scratch in C and with Access, so I feel confident that I could set up a system for them. I need to have some kind of estimate, both a fee and implementation schedule. Can you help me get a handle on the scope of this?
Many thanks,
Bryn

I need to put a title for a radial gauge. I've tried to add a label, but it remains in the panel area.
Is it possible to add a title by using a gauge property without creating a text box outside this object?

I have a little problem that I think I solved with a sledge-hammer andthought I'd post here to see if there was not perhaps a more elegantand probably quicker solution.Essentially I have a unique display condition on a table that mustreturn data in a certain way. The problem column in question is thesecond col of a compound PK which thus makes the data in this columnunique for any given col1 value. The problem is that regardles of whatdata is in col2, if one of the values is 'NO' ,then this MUST appearat the top of any resultset, query, or report that can be generated,otherwise standard alpha sort is fine (it is a varchar(30) field)My inelegant solution was to create a third column in the table, achar(1) that can only ever have 2 values, a '1' or a '0'. So allentries for col2 which are 'NO' get assigned the value 1, all othersare 0 so when you sort using this extra column based on any col1value, 'NO' always gets to go on top.Can I lose the extra column which is there purely for sorting/logicand thus is irrelevant to the table data or its meaning(<hangs head indue deference to normalisation>) It obviously works OK the way it is,but it makes all queries/sprocs cumbersome because they always havethe overhead of sorting an additioal column, or an inefficient indexwhere nearly all the values in a vital column are always '0' except teodd few, also all the updates and inserts need to be wary of changesor additions that are make a 'NO' value for col2 and thus reset or setthe sort column to a '1'.Some sample DDL and values below.CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmpTest]([colA] [varchar](30) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,[colB] [varchar](30) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,[colN] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL CONSTRAINT[DF__1] DEFAULT ('UNK'),[Reference] [char](1) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL DEFAULT('0'),CONSTRAINT [PK_tmpText]PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([colA] asc , [colB] asc))ON [PRIMARY]insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('1','a','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('1','b','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('1','c','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN,reference) values('2','NO','z','1')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('2','a','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('2','b','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('2','c','z')insert into tmpTest (colA,colB,colN) values ('2','d','z')select * from tmpTestwhere colA='2'order by colA,reference desc,colB

Hi,
I have a question regarding a project I am working on and I'm not sure what the best way to do it may be, I am new to SSIS and would like to gain some exposure using it, but don't know if this project is overkill or even possible using SSIS.
*** PROBLEM ****
Basically I have a large number of flat files each file contains different columns and data. What I want to do is import all of the data from the flat files into corresponding tables in SQL Server. The tables in SQL server are already defined with data structure to match each file. The first 10 characters of the flat file are also the same name as the SQL table. So it seems easy enough to just import flat file to table one by one, but I cannot figure out how to match the flat file structure to each table without setting up a task for each table (there are roughly 50-60 tables). Another reason I want to do it with SSIS is these flat files have to be imported on a weekly basis.
**********************
Is it in my best interest to just create a stored procedure that basically loops through the files and imports the data? Or do you think using SSIS is the best solution? I have looked at SSIS a bit and thought maybe I could use the bulkinsert task, but it appears it cannot dynamically change due to column specs. I figured out how to loop through the flat files using the foreach task, but I could only get it to import into one SQL table. I also started looking at the dataflow task and thought about creating a script task, but I'm not sure if that would work before I spend a lot of time trying to figure that out.
Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
I need to estimate the effort required in writing some SSIS packages.
Could anyone provide some pointers to the various factors (E.g. number of tables, source, etc.) which influence the effort estimate for SSIS packages?
Thanks in advance.

B@ns

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.

We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.

Hello everyone
I know this is discussed very often, but please indulge me.
I have two hardware/software configurations for the SQL servers,
(1) NT4 + SQL7 on 2HDD's (C/D-drive) and,
(2) NT4 + SQL7 on 3HDD's (C/D/E-drive).
What will be the best configuration for SQL regarding:
a. RAID,
b. placement of the OS,
c. placement of the data & log files(devices),
d. local(hdd) backups
Regards

Hello!
I`m new to SQL Server, so excuse this if it`s a well-known
problem with a well-known solution.
I tried setting up SQL Server 6.5 (the box but not the
docs or install claims it`s an
upgrade product) but the install hung at "Setup is now
installing the initial SQL Server configuration" for over
10 minutes. That is, the install kept processing
something but did not appear to be coming to an end until
I killed it. This happened repeatedly, and on a second
server, too.
I then installed 6.0 (over 6.5!), and was able to install
6.5 over 6.0. However, I`m not able to install the 6.5
docs.
SQL Server appears to run (although I`ve not tried any
DB stuff).
Any suggestions? Should I uninstall and start over?
best, paul

Hello,
This is the present setup.
Server A --> sql server 2000
Server B --> sql server 2005
On my machine I point to an instance name of sql server 2000 to use. i.e.
sqlserver2000Serverinstance1
On my local machine I have installed sql server 2000 and can use the enterprise manager. Have the Admin rights.
I have setup a daily backup job on sql 2000...
On server B, I installed sql 2005. Restored the sql 2000 backup onto sql 2005. And now I have the sql 2000 database in sql server 2005.
Now I can use the sql 2005 by refering to the serverB name (Not an instance).
In Server A, the applications are using a login name (sql authentication) i.e. username, password.
Questions
1) How do I install sql 2005 on my local machine (Remember that I have sql 2000)
2) If I should run the setup for sql 2005 on local machine, then during the installation, do I give it an instance name or should this instance name be done on the server i.e. server B ?
Thanks

Hi All
Iam new to SQL and using sql2000. I have created a DTS which works as I want, but I am abit concerned about the way set-up.
My source is a Lotus notes view and my data is going to a sql table. Now when I click in 'EM/DTS/MyPackage' and then rhs click 'design package' and look how the source is being extract after double clicking the source db I get a mini window labelled 'Execute SQL Task Properties'. In the bottom part of this window their is a line labelled SQL Statement. In here there is a syntax for creating a table, exactly the same as my created table ie. the destination table. I really dont understand why this syntax is appearing here.
Please can you help.
Many Thanks

How would I set up a sql server database based on the following problem? I will be creating a poll based on 9 dimensions that compare two companies.

The values stored would be 1 or 0 so the values can be totalled. The user will be using a web pageand will select a radio button per dimension for either honda or yamaha. Would this work?

I have an asp 2.0 app that connects to a database in another city.
When I test this app through VS2005 is connects and works great. After I created a web setup project it goes bad.
I ran the setup on 2 different computers, including the dev machine, both start ok and bring up the applications main menu, but when I choose a menu item that is supposed to bring up a datagrid from the sql server I get an error saying it's not a trusted connection.
Any advice on where I should start looking? It's got me beat.

Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install the SQL Server on my machine and I successfully did it because the server is running. I can get into the Enterprise Manager (without password) and I'm able to create new databases. Except, I can not log into those databases with the userid that I also created with full access. It must be somekind of security issue but I can not figure out what. The message says: "Unable to connect to server local - SQL server does not exist or access denied". If I look at my SQL service manager my server name is "NEWONE" , which is also my computer name. So, I'm not sure what's wrong. I tried to log in with the 'sa' account it doesn't work either.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you,
Laszlo

We are working on a new Payroll server. Our payroll department wants to lock out MIS and SQL Admins as much as possible. What we would like to do is allow the SQL Admins to still perform admin tasks such as backups, audit tracking, etc, while not being able to get into the tables. Also, we would prefer to do this security at the database level, rather than the server level. Any thoughts on this?

I have a question:
I want to be able to do bi-directional transaction based replication
between a 7.0 SQL server running on Windows NT 4.0 server SP5 and an NT Workstation 4.0 SP5. Can this be done or would it require that both
machines to be NT Server based? The reason I asked is because previously under 6.5 I was able to install the SQL operating system on Windows NT Workstation and now it looks like I can only install the Desktop version under 7.0. Will this give me the type of replication I am looking for?

Hi. We're trying to setup a new case management system and I'm having a problem trying to store some of the information. I think I know how to go about it; however, I'm not sure if it's right.
We have two tables: Cases and Clients. The cases table stores relevant case information like case number, case type, etc. The Clients table stores information like name, address, phone number, email, etc.
What is the best way to associate these two tables together? I'm assuming I need a third table. Right? Thanks!
