caution: this is not doubt a stupid newbie question...
In creating vs.net 2005 website, I can add a sql database to my project and a mdf file is created. I can create data providers against this file, etc, just as though it were a database in a sql server instance. I can deploy this dbf file to my finished web site.
Also, I can attach to a running instance of sql server 2005 express, and do exactly the same thing.
I can also take my mdf file created in step 1 above, and attach it to a running instance of sql server express.
Now, I have delt with access databases, and sql server 2000 databases, so this dual nature of sql server 2005 express confuses me a little.
Why would I ever need to use a server instance of sql server 2005 when I can use a file based data file in my web apps? Is there an advantage to one or the other?
I had a thought that when using the file based method, I was actually still using the server based stuff, which would explain why the sql server express notification bubble pops up when I debug on the dev machine.
In any case could someone explain the difference and should I install sql server 2005 express on my deployment server?
HelloI am running a SP from the SQL Server Agent, the job has one step thatlooks like this.exec q_spr_inlevextsystemThis job fails with the following messageJob 'AutoInlev' : Step 1, 'Run the SP q_spr_inlevextsystem' : BeganExecuting 2004-04-05 09:00:00output---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(null)Starting copy...(null)1 rows copied.Network packet size (bytes): 4096Clock Time (ms.): total 1(null)(0 rows(s) affected)Msg 8152, Sev 16: String or binary data would be truncated.

i'm quite confused from SQL Server 2005 security permission granting. Could you be so kind and post some generic, compact, web source for this topic, please?
I have some Log files that are getting extremely large as I teach myself the importing/Exporting/Tranformation 's and such. I need to shrink the Log file to a manageable size. The data file is 16gig and the log file is 16gig. Help..
I trust you'll bear with an SQL Server newbie with what may seem a rather inane request. I am designing a web app in Web Designer 2005 Express with SQL Server Express. Unfortunately, I'm finding a little confusing with some of the data types when designing tables. I have tried to find information on the various Microsoft sites (general site, MSDN, here) and while I found one document that had a table comparing data types in different implementations of SQL, it wasn't at all helpful. Most of my confusion is with the various string and char types; the numeric types seem pretty straight forward for the most part. However, it might be helpful to know the difference between money and smallmoney/datetime and smalldatetime, particularly space/size information and formatting options (unless the latter is up to the interface). It would also be helpful to know which string/char types correspond to any counterparts they might have in, for instance, Access (with which I am already quite exprienced). Or any particular quirks or idiosyncracies they might have. I don't expect anyone to write a full tutorial, but if someone could point me in the direction of a good online doc, it would be most appreciated. You might well ask, why not use Access databases? I would answer...I like to learn new stuff! Thanks much.
Hi all I am trying to install SQL server 2000a I install per the instructions but when I go to plesk to create a SQL database I get the following error message: Unable to create database: Unable to create database-dependent object:Database Microsoft SQL server is not running. I am running a Windows 2003 duel processor server. I would also like to know if I can upgrade to service pack 3a from 2000a or do I need to install service pack 2 first. Also should I install service pack 4? Thanks Cruiser859
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
It is clear to me that in order to be able to use certain SSIS components (for example the Excel jet provider) I must launch my packages using the 32bit DTEXEC located at Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinn. However, when I do this it seems that there are other components of the package that no longer work as expected.
To test this I have created a simple package with two tasks (Run64BitRuntime is set to False): 1. Data flow task importing data from Excel 2. Execute SQL Task which does a simple select (select 1) from a Native OLE DB SQL data source (same SQL Server on which packages are stored). This task contains no input or output parameter.
When I try to execute the package using the 64bit DTEXEC, task 1 fails with the following error (as expected): Code: 0xC0202009 Source: connection1 Connection manager "SourceConnectionExcel" Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
When I execute the package with the 32bit DTEXEC, task 2 fails with the following error Code: 0xC002F210 Source: Execute SQL Task Execute SQL Task Description: Executing the query "" failed with the following error: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Now here is the confusing part: When I change task 2 to use the .Net provider instead of the OLE DB the package works fine. According to the MS documentation, both of these providers are supported on 32 and 64 bit so am I missing something? One more thing to note: before I was able to use the 32 bit DTEXEC I had to re-register it as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919224
I am very new to db. so pardon me for some stupid questions.
I have 3 tables Table1, Table2, and table3. Table1 and table2 has 5 columns each and table3 has 4 columns. i have 6 or 7 csv files (these number of files can change) uploaded to a upload directory. these csv filename contains name of the table. for example table1_ab.csv, table1_cd.csv, table2_ef.csv, table2_gh.csv, table3.aa.csv, table3_bb.csv.
a person goes to a web page and clicks a button. This is what the button should do. 1) Check how many files are there in the upload directory. 2) use bulk insert to individually insert each csv file into their respective table (the name of the table is in file name). 3) Copy the csv file into backup directory and delete the file from upload directory.
I am using vb.net. any help would me much appriciated.
HI All. I'm trying to tweak the Transfer Logins task to exclude Windows Logins that are local to the Server (e.g. servernameusername) which obviously can't be transferred off the server. Annoying that we have a couple of local Logins on this system instead of all Domain Groups, but we're stuck with them due to firewall issues, and a policy excluding SQL Logins.
My idea is to create a text file as part of my Package that lists Logins to be Excluded From the Transfer - I think I then need to create a New File Connection to the Text File as a Connection Manager, then somehow get that data into a Variable, and then use an Expression to populate the 'LoginsList' Collection from syslogins where loginame not equal to logins in my textfilevariable?
Or maybe I'm over complicating this, and there's an easier solution? Lots of info in Books Online about Expressions and Variables, but having trouble finding examples that I can use. As a DBA, this is my first foray into SSIS, and as you can possibly tell, I'm floundering....
There are two options to specify the subpackage location (SQL Server or file location). I'd like to know how I can specify a variable name that points to the file location so I avoid hard coding the file location which could change during production installation.
Hi there I sorry if I have placed this query in the wrong place. I'm getting to grips with ASP.net 2, slowly but surely! When i try to access my site which uses a Sql Server 2005 express DB i am receiving the following error:

The database is definitly in the folder that the error message relates to. What I'm finding confusing is that the connection string seems to be finding "aranga"s database. Is it something daft?
Hi, I am new to DTS. I am also not sure whether this is the solution for my criteria. First my criteria. I have an Excel file where i would be capturing the data on a daily/weekly basis. Now, i want to transfer the data to sqlserver at a regular interval let me say weekly once. I want the record to append. At later stages, planned to call from asp through asp.net. Which is the best solution for to accomplish this task. Any good sample would be of great help. Thanks in Advance to all.

I have a bunch of .sql files that will create a data model for me. I've created a new database in my SQL Server 7 Enterprise Manager called Test. How do i run this script? In part it looks like:
I'm using DTS for the first time and am having difficulty understanding some of its usage. In essence, I have 70 tables which are on an ORACLE database. I've created the schema on SQLServer from an ERWin model. I now wish to use DTS to import the data into SQLServer. Of course there are referential integrity constraints. The DTS 'import wizard' seems oblivious of these and carries out the import in alphabetical order! I'm now trying the DTS designer (which I don't fully understand yet). It appears that I have to create a workflow which moves the workflow from table to table in the order dictated by RI - this is not a trivial task! (I want point and click!!). Are there any shortcuts I can take to have DTS automatically arrange the workflow in the correct order? Can I do it programaticaly? I don't want to have to fiddle with 140 'workflow' and 'success' links. Cheers.
Hello. I'm new to SQL server and I've run into a really basic issue. I'm working on a Visual Studio 2005 project and I have a SQL databse with a .BAK extension I need to use with the project. I've read online that I need to restore the database to a new database to work with SQL Server Express. Here's where I am lost. I can't find good instructions on how to restore the DB to a new one. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
Good day. Is there any version of SQL server 2005(not include Express Edition) same as SQL server 2000 Personal edition ? I am planning to install new SQL server 2005 in my pc now. I am using Windows XP SP2 now. I tried to install to Entreprise Trial version, unfortunately it just works as client. Thank you in advance.
I have SQL Server 2000 installed on XP Pro and I am having problems connecting from an ASP.Net application.
The DB in question was exported from my laptop, which is running MSDE on Windows 2000. On that machine Trusted_Connection=true seems to work from the ASP.Net application whereas the SQL Server login that I set up does not.
Now that the DB has been imported to my XP machine, Trusted_Connection=true no longer seems to work. I am assuming that this may be related to the same problem I had when I was trying to use system logs - the ASPNET user does not have the same privileges on XP as it does on 2000.
In any case, I'm not too concerned at the moment how I connect, just as long as I am able. So, I again tried using the SQL login I had set up with no success.
(I added the SQL Login at the server level then I added it at the DB level and granted it public, db_datareader and db_datawriter access. Later, when that didn't work, I also granted it db_owner rights. Still no success. (BTW, I remembered to repeat these steps on my XP machine once I had imported the DB.))
Then I thought to try using 'sa'. To make sure I that remembered the sa password, I logged into Enterprise Manager (which, I assume uses Windows authentication) and changed it. Then, I went over to Web Data Administrator and tried to log in, using the SQL Login option, with sa and the password that I had just set - IT DIDN'T WORK.
Am I going mad, or is there something I'm missing?
I am migrating a access dbase to SQL. I have two tables, the first is a buffer table that collects data from various sources, the second table is an indexed version of the first table (to eliminate duplicate records etc. etc.)
I am currently using the DTS packaage to transfer data between them, would a trigger be a better solution?

I've been asked by a colleague if I'll work on an SQL 2000 database they're having trouble with. They said they will provide Visual.net, SQL 2000 and any other software I need.
I'm completely in the dark on this, but have some starting questions:
To test my code, will I need to set up a sever on localhost?
Will I need other software than Visual.net and SQL 2000? I'm using DW MX for my web stuff.
Whre can I find a basic introduction to ASP / SQL 2000 in the form of a tutorial?
How fast does this combination run? The database has 25,000 rows and 6 columns. What would be a reasonal expect time for a result?
Hi, I am totally a newbie to MS SQL. I have a question regarding the MS SQL: What is the difference between the MS SQL and the SQL Server? Is it the same? and what should be install for MS SQL on the server and the client side???
I am relatively new to SQL Server and I have 2005. I am developing a database with an Access ADP frontend. The development is taking place on my laptop running a separate instance of SQL Server. I am trying to put the database on the production server and I am not sure how to proceed.
My laptop is not part of the network so I need to create a file and then import it on the SQL Server instance running on the production server. I thought I could do a backup and restore, but apparently that is not working.
i'm new at MS SQL Server, i developed an application with MS SQL Server Developer Edtn. and i want to try it with a real server and clients
i tried to install it to WinXP Pro and it asks a domain and a user account, is theere a way to create a domain with winxp pro, or working with only server windows (2003 server, 2000 server etc.). If it is working with only server, is there a tutorial at internet to create a domain and users at windows (i lost lots of time to setup Ms SQL Server) pls i need a tutorial, or a way to install MS SQL Server...
i want to install ms sql server to vmware machine, i wonder how to make configurations to access my server on real machine and other machines that is on the network of real machine (i think i must user pat, but how to make configurations is a big problem, but the biggest is installing sql server)
it is urgent pls help, i dont want to lose more time because i lost enough...
I'm in a slightly sticky situation. I recently got a job I interviewed for as a business analyst/programmer. I know quite a bit of VB 6.0 and SQL language, also enough access to build a decent database as a backend for my apps. I've recently received a 4 yr CIS degree, so I know a little about everything. I told them very clearly three times in the interview that I'd never built a SQL Server DB, but they must not have cared about that. They need someone who can program, do some DB work, and also do some business analysis. I was the best fit they could find.
After working with the group a few days, I figured out they need a data warehouse and marts to do some historical analysis, and eventually data mining and trend analysis, etc. I think they said they'd like to have that by the end of next year.
What I need now is one or two really great books to get started with, and a small synopsis on what I'm going to need as far as dev software and server specifics to get this thing off the ground. The first thing they would like to see is simply enough tables to dump data into from 4 or 5 different DBs, from which they can pull data for analysis whenever they need to do so. The total rows for this DB will be around 170mil, but with just a few measures in each row. Microsoft spreadsheet says I should expect about 5gig per year of data.
So I'm freaking out because I know ziltch about SQL Server, what tools and server set up I'm going to need, and the more I read, the less it sounds like "Oh it's not that big of a deal. It's easy", as a few friends told me.
Hello,I am just getting reaquainted with programming and all. I work in GIS mapping and am having diffilculty using a ASP.net internet Map site and adding records to a needed database.I would like to be able to add records to a linked SQLExpress table when the user clicks on a map location. I adapted the following code snippet from an example that does what I would like only using an .mdb file.CODE: // create connection to database var connection; connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); connection.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=OutdoorsExp;Data Source=NOLOGOSQLEXPRESS;"); status = "Can't access 'FishSQL' table."; // create recordset var recordset; recordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"); recordset.CursorType = 1 recordset.LockType = 3; recordset.Open("dbo.FishTable", connection); status = "Can't append new record."; // append record for clicked location recordset.AddNew(); recordset.Fields("LongitudeI").Value = xco; recordset.Fields("LatitudeI").Value = yco; recordset.Update(); recordset.Close(); // release the .mdb file connection.Close();However, this does not add anything to the SQLEx table. What am I missing? I am thinking that it might have something to with the primary key.I had a table with way more columns then just lat/longs (as above) but only coded it to add data to the latitude and longitude fields. Nothing got added of course. Would have to add data to every field that doesnt allow nulls.How do I generate a random, unique ID for a primary key on the fly and for example add it to the appropriate column.Thanks you in adavnce for any insights.
hi i'm trying to write a stored_proc which involves 3 tables. Product, Orders and OrderDetails i want to return products that haven't sold for a particular month. So these products aren't in the OrderDetails table. When i try and run this i get some really random results. when i change the Orders.OrderDate value to different months, i get the same result when i shouldnt. but then when i add the Orders.OrderDate row to the select statement, i get 400 results and i dont have that many products. the extended amounts are just for my datagrid ALTER PROCEDURE proc_Report_NoSales_Septasset nocount onSELECT Product.productID, Product.Title, Product.QtyOnHand, Product.Category, 0 as ExtendedAmount, Product.BuyPrice, 0 as ExtendedAmount2 from Orders, OrderDetails, Productwhere Orders.OrderDate > '2006-09-01' and Orders.OrderDate < '2006-10-01'and Orders.OrderID = OrderDetails.OrderID and Product.ProductID not in (Select distinct OrderDetails.ProductID from OrderDetails)/* Product.ProductID NOT EQUAL to OrderDetails.productID */and Product.productID <> OrderDetails.productIDGROUP BY Title, BuyPrice, Category, Product.ProductID, QtyOnHandORDER by TitleRETURN any ideas cheers!!!
