Inputing Data/images Into SQL Server
May 13, 2000I am creating a SALES database on SQL Server. I have been inserting the data into the tables (without using SQL statements) in the Enterprise Manager by going to the relevant server group - click on Databases - clicking SALES database - right click ORDERS table and select "open table" - "return all rows". The ORDERS table opens and I enter the values manually.
Is it all right to enter numeric and text data this way?
Is there a similar way for storing images or do I have to use SQL statements when it comes to inserting images into the table?

Accessing Data Directly From A SqlDataSource?
Mar 7, 2007First let me give you a little back ground on me. I'm very new to the ASP, ASP.NET, Visual Studio, Sql Server, Frameworks....thing. I am coming over from a PHP/MySql background of over 5 years. The change over to VBScript and VB has been to tough and I have a basic liking for the Visual Studio 2005 and the ease of putting things together. However, I have come across something that to me seems like it should be relatively simple, but haven't been able to find the documentation or samples to describe what I'm looking to do.
Rough Need:
1. Start with a form will a couple labels and a singe textbox to get the lookup date from an user.
2. Query one table/view based on the users choice of date and select only one field of returned data.(Doing this by itself is not a problem and I can display my results in a Gridview, but this is where it starts getting tricky and the gridviews won't work for me.)
3. If there is something returned, I need to start a HTML table layout or possibly some form of a Gridview(I don't see how I would use the Gridview) and start a loop, adding the first returned row from this query into the first cell.
4. Now, based on that same User Date and the returned row value from the previous query, I need to query another Table/view and return another single field, which might return 1 or multiple rows, which I need to start a loop to display unique items in cells under the first on above.
5. Based on the original User Date and each returned row from the first query, I need to query two other Table/views and get some additional information. 4-5 fields will be returned and be displayed on one row in the number of necessary columns.
6. This would finish the first row from the first query, so I would need to loop back up to see if there were any further results and continue looping until the get to the last of the results from the first query.
7. Finally, I would just need to close up the Table/gridview.
The basic results I'm looking for would be similar to the following:
Results for 10/11/2005
Field name 1
Field name 2
Field name 3
Field name 4
Field name 5
First Result from query 11 of 4 results from Query 2, but only 1 unique result
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4

Info from Query 4

Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 4
Second Result from query 1First result from Query 2 after looping though the first query Second result from Query 2 after looping though the first query
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3.
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 3
Info from Query 4
Info from Query 4
It seems me from what I have read and slowly figuring out, is that I should be able to directly access the DataSet returned by four SqlDataSources, one for each of the above querys and then just write my own VB to handle the necessary looping, table format and such. I can easily add the for SqlDataSources to the page and add a Gridview for each one and get 4 separate chunks of info, but can't see a way with GridViews to intermingle the info like displayed above.
So, if it can be done with Gridviews, then I would love to see how that is done. But, if someone could explain to me how I access the DataSets directly that I get from the 4 SqlDataSources, then that would be ok too. I have figured enough out with VB, that I can write the code to do my looping requirements, if I can just access the information I get back. Thanks for reading all the way through this long post.

May 7, 2008hi lads,
what i need to do for my project are as following:
a mobile user send data via GPRS to SQL server Database. then i need to have a method to detect while a particular table is being inserted. and then extract data from table construct a report dynamiclly. what should i do to achieve this goal? e.g. window application, store procedure or trigger ?
PS : client side is a mobile application developed using MCL. i don't in which way he will send all data to SQL server Database, so what i need to do is to monitor new data inserting.
2) how to auto generate and print report directly after record been inserted into the table ? Do i need to import report web service API ? if yes, which one? or i can use other methods e.g. predefine report control view in my window application, turn off pop-up menu while printing a report(I guess)

Backup Of .MDF Directly To Tape?
Nov 28, 2007Hello!
Me and my collegues was recently assigned to maintain a SQL Server 2000 instance, which pretty much only holds one database.
From what we can tell, a backup of this database has never been created, atleast not through SQL Server.
When asking the previous owner, the answer was "We have been taking 'Legato backups' every day!"
We now intend to schedule a SQL Server backup job, but out of curiosity...
In case of a disaster, would these "Legato backups" have been any use at all?
Please elaborate :-)

Writing Directly To A Database Using An SqlDataSource
Jan 31, 2008Hey all Im trying to make a system in which users logged on can change their password. I dont want to use a grid view because that dosent give me the chance to let them put in their old password first for validation but now I need a way of takeing data out of the textbox with the new password and placeing it in to the field in a database.As I stand at the moment I have a data.dataview variable equal to an SQL Data Source with my query in it, bringing back a record from a users table with the users username, password and a field stating what type of user they are. It filters this by username which is stored as a session variable and username is the primary key. there is then an if statement checking that the string in the password field is equal to what the user has written in the old password box and if they match it uses the command:dv.Table.Rows(0)(1) = txtNewPassword.TextMsgBox("Password Successfully Changed", MsgBoxStyle.Information)When I run this the validation successfully checks the password is correct and then displays the message box saying the password is correct but it hasnt actually changed it. Somone I know told me that I need to use the command sqldatasource.update but I cant see where it fits in. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm currently dumping tables from PostgreSQL 7 to SQL Server 2K and I've been wondering if it's possible to create a trigger between the two databases.

Is There Any Possibility To Sync Databases Directly?
Aug 31, 2012Currently our client has a website where they are using aspx as front end and SQL server as back end. We are developing same functionality using php and my sql.Currently 1 phase of development is finished. They are using both applications to do the job. Now in 2nd integration they are asking the data sync from one database to other.
We have decided once the user enters the aspx form the data will be stored in client sql server but we though of writing a script to enter this info into a csv file so that from our side we access that file and update in mysql.
Other than ftp any other better approaches to access that file on client server?Is there any possibility to sync databases directly?

Connecting Directly To SQL Server Oer The Internet
May 14, 2008Hi,
I'm currently writing a desktop application that communicates directly with a SQL server database on the local network. Ideally we'd like to connect directly to the database via the Internet.
- connecting via the Internet is important because we want easy access from anywhere.
- directly is important because fast data transfer is a requirement.
Not knowing much about the security implications of such a connection, I thought I'd ask here. So what are the major risks and objections? Can the connection and data be made secure?
Cheers, Gavin

HOW TO: Print A Report Directly To A Printer
Oct 18, 2006The code below is a class file done in vb.net. The original idea came from reading this forum and some blogs.
To use the code below, you can create a windows application or service.
then create a class file and drop this code in it.
Remeber to reference the 2005 report execution service and also in the program settings include the path to your server.
IE: ReportExecutionService = http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx or whatever your server URL is at.
Setup the public properties for printername (sharenames work fine), Number of copies and Report name.
That is all there is to it. This code is REALLY expandable to add more options.
Please remember to let me kow if you like this.

How Can I Directly Include A Square Root In A SQL Query
Dec 17, 2006I have an ASP.NET application where I need to filter the records returned from a SQL query using a calculated distance to a point that is set by the user. To do this directly, I would need to include a square root of an expression in the SQL query. It seems like I should be able to do this by writing my SQL query something like:
SELECT SQRT(expression ....) AS distance, column2, column3 ... FROM mytable WHERE distance < 50
Unfortunately, SQL queries apparently don't like the SQRT function. I am using .NET 2.0 with VS2005 and a MS Access backend (that will soon be moved to SQL/Server).
As an alternate, maybe I can query the data into a temporary record set with a extra field for distance and then step my way through the temporary record set and replace the values in the distance field with a calculated distance. Once the temporary record set is prepared, then I would delete the records that don't pass the distance requirement or otherwise hide them and bind the data to a gridview control.
Thanks,
David
DTS Import Works Directly, Fails When Scheduled
Jun 2, 2006I'm new to DTS packages, but managed to create one that successfully empties a table in SQL Server then imports data from a Foxpro file on another server into it. It runs fine if I execute it from DTS, but fails if I schedule it to run in SQL Server Agent (using the "Schedule Package" option in DTS). I think the relevant portion of the error returned when the job fails is:
Error string: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File 'hrpersnl.dbf' does not exist.
The file does exist. I also tried to execute it from a stored procedure, but got a similar error. Any thoughts on why it runs one way but not the other?

Aug 22, 2007Hello,
I am trying to get a SSRS 2005 report to print from my Visual Studio 2005 C++ application without using the ReportViewer to preview it first. What I have done is created a dll that I call into when I want to access a certain report and print it. While searching around on the internet I found an MSDN article about printing a report without previewing and it had an example in C# code. So I used that as a guide for my C++ code but I am still having problems with rendering the report properly so it can be printed. When I try to render a report using the "Image" format, my streamid string is empty but the byte array that the render routine returns is not. Here is the code I am using, what could be the problem here?
Note: m_Streams is define elsewhere as
array<String^>^ m_Streams = gcnew array<String^>(10);
void Print::Export(LocalReport^ report)
{
array<Warning^>^ Warn = gcnew array<Warning^>(10);
String^ deviceinfo =
"<DeviceInfo>" +
" <OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>" +
" <PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth>" +
" <PageHeight>11in</PageHeight>" +
" <MarginTop>0.25in</MarginTop>" +
" <MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>" +
" <MarginRight>0.25in</MarginRight>" +
" <MarginBottom>0.25in</MarginBottom>" +
"</DeviceInfo>";
String^ mimeType;
String^ enc;
String^ FileExt;
array<Byte>^ bytes;
bytes = report->Render("Image",deviceinfo, mimeType, enc, FileExt, m_Streams,Warn); // m_Streams has a length of
return; // 0 after the Render
}
void Print:: PrintPage(System:: Object^ sender, System:: Drawing:: Printing:: PrintPageEventArgs^ ev)
{
Metafile^ pageImage = gcnew Metafile(m_Streams[m_CurrentPage]);
ev->Graphics->DrawImage(pageImage, ev->PageBounds);
m_CurrentPage++;
ev->HasMorePages = (m_CurrentPage < m_Streams->Length);
return;
}
void Print:rintRpt()
{
String^ printerName = "Default";
if (m_Streams->Length < 0)
return;
PrintDocument^ printDoc = gcnew PrintDocument();
if (!printDoc->PrinterSettings->IsValid) {
return;
}
printDoc->PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(this, &Print:: PrintPage);
printDoc->Print();
return;
}
void Print::Run()
{
LocalReport^ report = gcnew LocalReport();
DataSet^ ds = gcnew DataSet();
LoadData(ds);
report->ReportPath = "c:\bmi\bulrpt\Report1.rdlc";
ReportDataSource^ RDS = gcnew ReportDataSource();
RDS->Name = "DataSet1_Subject";
RDS->Value = ds->Tables["Subject"];
report->DataSources->Add(RDS);
Export(report);
PrintRpt();
return;
}
DataTable^ Print:: LoadData(DataSet^ ds)
{
System:: String ^ConnStr = "SELECT * FROM Subject";
SqlConnection^ conn = gcnew SqlConnection("Data Source=JOE-PC\BMIMSDESERVER; Initial Catalog=stx52013;Integrated Security = TRUE");
SqlCommand^ command = gcnew SqlCommand(ConnStr, conn);
SqlDataAdapter^ adapt = gcnew SqlDataAdapter(command);
adapt->TableMappings->Add("Table", "Subject");
conn->Open();
adapt->Fill(ds);
return ds->Tables["Subject"];
