Hello,
I want to ask if there is any option in SQL Server 2000 that can be used to import automatically every day....I have an FoxPro database which is updated every day and I want my main table in SQL Sever to be updated by importing every thing again from the FOXPRO ever day at night.....is there any option for that?
Thanks,
Diana
Hi folks,
I have a table located in DB2 nd I need to have a mirror image of this table on a SQL2000 database to avoid some server downtime problems.
Right now I have a solution using ADO.NET with Windows Services.
This windows service invokes itself everyday morning and pulls all the records from this table in DB2 to a dataset. Then I loop through the dataset and insert every record into SQL 2000 Table. This method is working fine ( It take approximately 2 minutes to insert 5000 records). I am just wondering whether there is any way to acheive bulk insertion in this case. Considering future growth of table I am not thinking the existing solution is neither elegant nor efficient.
Please let me know if I can achive the same either using XML, BULK INSERTS or any other mechanism in ADO.NET and please remeber that we are talking about data migration between different DBMS ( DB2 to SQL 2000)
Thanks,
Sai
Hello:
Many companies use DBMS that are not Microsoft SQL Server. Those companies use Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Ingres, for example. I'm looking for a paper o website which exponses the advantages (strengths) and disadvantages (weakness) of those DBMS. Why? Our customers would like a comparison between different systems, and we must show them the Microsoft SQL Server possibilities.
Can you help me with this? In terms of performance, speed, security, maintenance, etc.
Thanks.

How to relate Table1 with Table2 by 1 to 1 relation in sql express ?
Hi to allI have to choose a DBMS and a database architecture for an Ebay likewebsite about to be launched.The company wants to use a web hosting service and not host thedatabase on dedicated servers at the office.The database will contain web-only information and lots of back endinformation that is not really needed to be stored on the web host.I'm wondering how to design that part, should I store all informationon the web host only ? miror that DB every evening on some local DBserver to be able to use the data without eating up lots of bandwith ?separate the database in 2 parts ? how to sync and assure integritythen ? having a local DB will also mean the company will have to pay alicence for the DBMS ...What DBMS should I pick considering that the database will have tohold at least 1 million products to sale (eBay like) and all theinformation that goes with it. I thought any DBMS weaker than SQLServer or Sybase or Oracle will not be enough. What do you think ?Thanks a lot, hope I have made myself clear enoughP.S. I would really like to get lots of different points of view. Ithink I'll use Sybase after all, so I wonder if that'sa good choiceand I still want to know your thoughts about the 2 or 1 DB design(separate Web & Billing information for example, or leave all the infoin the hosted database, what techniques to use to keep the integrityand to have the latest information in-house)... Thanks a lot

HI All,
I want to pull data from mysql dbms to sql servr 2005, i have wrote the following codes but it takes more than an hour and half which is not visible. Thus is there any consideration to consider and reduced time it takes. For your information i am going to use SSIS packags, there is no any tranformation, it is direct dump.
Here is the code i am using,
SELECT *
FROM
OPENQUERY (Server_1,'
SELECT
t3.Column11 as Column1,
Column12 as Column2,
Column13 as Column3,
Column14 as Column4,
Column15 as Column5,
Column16 as Column6,
Column17 as Column7,
Column18/1000 as Column8
FROM
table1 t1
INNER JOIN
table2 t2
ON t1.ColumnId = t2.columnID
INNER JOIN
Table3 t3
ON t2.columnId = t3.columnID
WHERE t1.Column4 > Sometime ')
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale

Hi Guys,
I have a website with multiple pages and when a user signs in it puts a 1 in the database and their online status is shown to the rest of the members, if they use my signout button which I have on each page, it signs them out and updates the database with a 0 in the process, so shows them as then offline, my problem is some people forget to sign out and just close the browser window or begin surfing elsewhere.
Is there a way to have sql server 2000 automatically change the field in the database after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Or is there a way to automatically sign users out as they either click on the X in the browser window, or as they leave my site.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

I have an sql 7.0 database with an Access 97 front end. We need to run a
process every night to update the database. However, not all users disconnect
from the front end and we get lock conflicts. It is not acceptable to have a
person stay till the evening to manually kill all the spid's and i can't find
any way to force all users off the database as you can in DB2. Also,
we can't change the front end. Any idea how to force all users off of
an sql server database (kill all spid's?) in an automated way. Thanks
Is there a way to automatically delete tables in a database? I want to delete tables with a specific prefix in their names (that I assign to them) based on their age. Is there a way to do this automatically while keeping the tables that I don't want to touch?

Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.
Ray? Craig? You guys seem to know all, so jobs.com appreciates your input...
I'm looking for a way to get the name of the server on which the DTS package lives.
I copy packages between servers. The problem is that everytime a package is copied
to different server, I have to change the reference in the connection strings to point
to the new server name. I'd like to find an automatic way to interrogate the server
name where the package currently lives and dynamically change connection strings
from within an ActiveX task. That would cut maintenance way down.

Hi,
I have a table that contains 2 columns. The first column has the datetime, and the second has a value (see the "Before" table). In my SELECT query I want to select all records like 0:00:00 <= Date <= 0:40:00. However the missing 10-minutes value 0:30:00 should be automatically inserted with value = NULL.
Before:
Code:
Date Value
------------------- -------------------
13/12/2004 0:00:00 15
13/12/2004 0:10:00 17
13/12/2004 0:20:00 21
13/12/2004 0:40:00 12
13/12/2004 0:50:00 13
After:
Code:
Date Value
------------------- -------------------
13/12/2004 0:00:00 15
13/12/2004 0:10:00 17
13/12/2004 0:20:00 21
