Hi folks
I am not at all an SQL server guy (more of an Oracle developer.)
I wanted to know if you guys could tell me if SQL Server supports
objects in the database. If so, could you kindly point me to a
doc or a very quick overview of main object features?
I find it odd that default values do no show when viewing the columns of a table in Managament Studio's Object Explorer pane. Currently I have to issue a Modify on the table, and then click each column to determine if a default value has been specified. Which is quite cumbersome. Is there any way to tell Object Explorer to show me the defaults? I mean it's showing me the datatype and whether or not it can be set to null... why not show the default value too! SQL 2000's Enterprise Manager showed you all this and more when you double clicked a table.
I did some search and didn't find anything about whether Yokon willsupport sequence object. Appreciate it if you can reply with someresources.Thanks, James
Hi, I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "no" but thought I'd ask anyway. Is there any way of mimicing the /Validate & /WarnAsError options of dtexec if executing a package using the object model?
If not, should I request it in the interests of consistency?
Does any one has any clue for this error ? I did went through a lot of articles on this error but none helped . I am working in Visual studie 2005 and trying to upload image in sql database through a simple form. Here is the code

Some previous forums stated checking the webconfig file but the web config file look okay. Is there another way to fix this.
Reader Community I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. " Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database? I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider? Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition? Look forward to all comments? Regards
At the moment I only know enough about SQL Server to create the databases Ineed as a backend for the various internal desktop/web applications I write.I haven't ever had the time to get seriously involved with internal workingsof SQL Server and we are far too small to employ a DBA.With any new application performance isn't a problem as the number ofrecords is very low. Over the life of the application the number of recordsobviously increases and performance can start to suffer. My normal cure isto use the Query Analyzer to suggest and implement indexes that normally getthings back up to speed.I was wondering whether SQL Server automatically keeps the created indexesup to date or do I need to be doing anything else either manually or as ascheduled job? The databases all have auto create statistics and auto updatestatistics enabled.Any pointers gratefully receivedThanksAlan
We are running a 3rd party ETL tool to populate a denormailized version of a production database for reports. Everything works fine 95% of the time. However there is a semi-rare occurence of the ETL tool hanging up. The norm is for the tool to take about 5 times longer than usual, but it still works. Over the weekend however it through an error saying:
The SQL Server cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users or ask the system administrator to check the SQL Server lock and memory configuration.
The reports are run through Crystal using stored procs and are all basically select statements
So my question(s) are the following: 1. What kind of lock would a report put on a table (select statement) 2. Would it make sense to change stored procs to use WITH NOLOCK? 3. Or is something else going on?
Any way to build a small GUI that a user can input the parameter, then click a submit button, which will in turn run a script on the database and pass the value to the query. I am sure there is a quick and easy way, but cannot think of one at the moment.
This is a quick script that I am running for a user too often, and don't really want to give them server access or ssms on their machine.
I apologize in advance for the lack of homework before posting, but I am just looking for a quick answer, or a quick point in the right direction to figure this out.
I have a developer from an adjacent team that wants to use Reporting Services in a SQL Server 2005 installation.
From what I found online during what I thought was a definitive search yesterday, I gave him the MSDN SQL Server 2005 DVD and told him that Reporting Services is now part of the standard installation. Which is what my brief search yesterday indicated to me.
He did the installation (full, according to him) and said he could not find Reporting Services.
So, the quick question is...
Where is Reporting Services in SQL Server 2005? I don't have a separate MSDN DVD that contains it as was the case on SQL Server 2000. This further supports my (wavering) position that it is part of the standard installation.
Thoughts? Direction? Collective kicks in the posterior?
UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?
Hi, I'm trying to convert our application and support additional east asian languages such as chinese simplified, japanese and korean. I know how to make the asp.net side work by support UTF-8 / global resource files / UICulture and whatever. But what do I have to do on the Sql Server side? I tested a few samples and i'm getting garbage characters after entring some chinese/japanese characters. Another unrelated question, I wrote some custom store procedures (dyanmically concatnated strings), I dont' have sql server 2005, so I'm wondering if I deploy it to sql server 2005, will 2005 be backward compatiable with 2000? I don't have any triggers and stuff, so I'm just wondering if you know anything about it. Thanks.
How many processors can SQL server 7.0 support? If the sql server box has 2 CPUs, will sql server 7.0 utilize both ? or sql server use one and NT use the other?

Hi,Do any versions of SQL Server support the following functions, asthey appear in the Oracle Database:-1) XMLElement2) XMLAttributes3) XMLForestThanks in Advance for your replyByeAmardeep Verma
Hi, Please do inform me about the SQL server database capacity of handing the data.
Well, I€™m a designing Data warehouse database on SQL server 2005 my first time load of data is 9 million records for 30 years of period, and future growth of data would be almost 20 million for the up coming 10 years. Will this database would be able to handle that much of data.
Would someone please make a clarification for me on the mainstream desupport of SQL Server 2000. In the following url it states that the desupport will take place 4/8/2008. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&p1=2852&x=12&y=11 Yet, if you read the lifecycle policy it at the following location it states that mainstream support is for 2-5years after the release of the successor product which ever is longer. http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy Since SQL Server 2005 was released 4/8/2005 then five years would put it on support until 4/8/2010. Would someone please correct me where I am reading this incorrectly?
For some reason, when I try to access a database diagram on our new 2005 SQL Server, I get the following error msg: "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner" It then goes on to instruct me to either use Properties > Files or ALTER AUTHORIZATION to change the database owner. Well, I've done that - and it clearly shows that there is an owner of the database, but even if I log in as that owner, the error msg continues to come up everytime I try to access Diagrams. I found a post to run the following stored procedure which will set the sql server compatability level: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel database_name, 90 After running that in the query window of Management Stduio, I get the following msg below on the Messages tab: "DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator." I then try to create a new diagram again, and I get the same initial error (at the top of this post). What do I need to do in order to create a DB diagram?
How well SQL Server can support 300 million records... Any body is working on big database like this. can anyone give me some input on this. it's going to be 60GB database size.
