I'm designing an application that will be deployed to 500 users. It is very database intensive (selects, inserts, updates, deletes). One select statement could possibly have up to 20,000 records returned. My question is, where should I put the database? Is this a bad candidate to have the database on one remote server? Or should I install sql server express on each users desktop? Any design issues I should consider?
View 4 RepliesEDIT: Please skip over this and go to the 2nd post. After writing this, I realized it may be too complicated to comprehend, so I tried to simplify with another example which is found in the 2nd post. Or if you want you can read this one and try to understand it.
I would like to go over a design we came up with to handle a certain reporting requirement from an OLAP cube to see if this is a good approach. Also, I would like to hear about other designs that we can consider.
Here is the condensed version of the requirement.
We are measuring the performance of a bunch of portfolios. So among other dimensions, we have a portfolio dimension that holds the list of portfolios we are tracking. In a typical portfolio analysis, an analyst almost always looks at a portfolio's measures along side a benchmark portfolio's measures. A benchmark is another portfolio against which a selected portfolio is compared. So, for a given portfolio, there is a determined benchmark portfolio.
For example, an analyst might want to look at a measure called Annual_Yield for a portfolio called Portfolio_A. There will be an attribute on the member Portfolio_A that tells us what its benchark portfolio is. That attribute will basically be another member from the portfolio dimension. So, as a function of what an analyst chooses as the first portfolio (the subject portfolio), the cube should be smart enought to know what to select as the second portfolio (the benchmark portfolio).
To implement this, I am proposing the following structure for the table that will create the portfolio dimension.
PortfolioID, PortfolioName, Attr1, Attr2, ..., AttrN, BenchMarkID
1, Portfolio_A, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
2, Porfolio_B, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
3, Portfolio_C, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
4, Portfolio_D, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
5, Portfolio_E, blah, blah, ...., blah, 6
6, Portfolio_F, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
So, the above data says that Portfolios A, B, and D uses Portfolio C as their benchmarks. And Portfolio E uses Portfolio F as its benchmark. Lastly, if a portfolio is used as a benchmark for other portfolios, then its BenchmarkID is null, meaning it doesn't get compared to anything, thus Portfolios C and F have null BenchmarkIDs. With this data, I would create a hierarchy in the portfolio dimension that has two levels. At the top level, there will be a portfolio and if that portfolio has a benchmark, then it will drill down to it.
With a portfolio dimension designed as such, I envision a fact table that looks like the following.
PortfolioID, SomeOtherDimIDs,....., Annual_Yield
1, , blah, ,....., 10%
2, , blah, ,....., 7%
3, , blah, ,....., 0%
4, , blah, ,....., 15%
5, , blah, ,....., 20%
6, , blah, ,....., 9%
So, going back to the original report which was looking at Annual_Yield by Portfolio_A, I would do an MDX statement such as
With Set [PortfolioAndBenchmark] As
DESCEDANTS(Portfolio_A)
Select
[Annual_Yield], [PortfolioAndBenchmark] On Columns,
Whatever Other Dimension On Rows
From
[Cube]
Does this make sense? The only concern I have is that I don't want the measures to aggregate along the portfolio hierarchy.
Hello, I was wondering if any of you experts might assist me in properly creating a database for my application. I've been pondering for a few days on how to accomplish this, but it seems that it doesnt have to be as complex as I am thinking...I just have to know how.
First off, I want to populate a dataset from a database in which I can databind to a datalist or repeater control. My datalist or repeater will have the following information in the ItemTemplate. Each ItemTemplate will consist of a table with 1 row with 3 columns cells. In each cell, the data will be laid out as accordingly.
[Unique Number] [Description ][Price ]
1000 XYZ $100.00
1001 ZXY $250.00
When the datalist or repeater is populated, it will need to be tried against a value that the user selects. For instance, the user selects 100,000 from a listbox and fetches the next page which will show the diagram above...he/she will see those results. However, if the user selects 110,000, the diagram above will have for the most part the same Unique Number and Descriptions, but the prices will vary. The reason I say for the most part with the Unique Number and Descriptions, is because I want to later be able to add admin access to add additional rows and appropriate prices to each Unique Number and Description.
Now the tricky part is, I could just add the listbox values to a table as a unique key and associated them with the Unique Number, Description and Price, however there are about 50 different options the user can select from and approx 50 different rows of Unique Numbers, Descriptions and Price . So you can see, I would have to set up the diagram each time for every possible selection from the listbox, which wouldnt really be efficient I presume.
I want to be able to populate the datalist or repeater so it could have say 50 Unique Numbers with Descriptions and Price at selection 100,000. And also that it might only populate with 45 Unique Numbers and Descrptions and Price at selection 110,000 because the 5 missing dont pertain to the selection of 110,000. I am trying to do it this way because at sometime, I want the admin to be able to add/delete a Unique Number, a Description for it and a corresponding price that correlates to the selection from the listbox.
Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. For the most part I understand what Im doing, I just need to be walked thru it a bit. Thanks again!
I am a developer and I have a problem trying to design a system to
manage data coming from web surveys. On average each subject will take
part in more than one survey and each survey may potentially have 100+
questions.
I am focusing here only on the table(s) that will hold the survey
data.
I'm thinking about having a wide table storing each question in the
survey(s) as a column against the subjects. My main concerns with this
approach:
- the "yuckiness" and potentially other performance issues(?)
associated with a table with 100s of columns
- the 8kb size limit per row (unlikely to touch it, but possible)
- 1024 column limit (unlikely to touch it, but possible)
Another approach obviously is to have a single table where we have, in
a simplified version, 3 columns: person_id, question_id and data/
answer. The problem with this is that the "data" column will have to
accommodate
all types of data, from bits to varchars, and that field validation
seems now impossible jeopardizing data integrity, and most
importantly, you can't easily work with the data in filtering/
reporting etc.
What do knowledgeable designers come up with in this case? Can someone
point me in the right direction?
I am new to Reporting Services, and I would like to serve up SQL 2005 Reporting Services reports via an ASP.NET web app (possibly using Report Viewer controls in Server mode). The web app will be running on an IIS server outside the firewall.
I would prefer to have the Reporting Services server be inaccessible outside the firewall, but it seems that the client browsers need direct URL access to the Reporting Services server. I guess this means either locating the Reporting Services server outside the firewall, or opening a hole in the firewall for access to the Reporting Services server.
Is there a Microsoft best-practice methodology/white-paper that addresses this scenario (especially as regards security concerns)?
Alternately, would it be possible, and would the same report presentation functionality be available (reports with expanding/collapsing sections, choice of export formats, etc), by calling the Reporting Services web service directly from the ASP.NET app, and manually populating the Response object?
Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.
We are planning to move all of our System Center Databases that reside on front end servers to each system center application to a centrally located SQL 2012 server. We'd like to centralize everything and have our DBA care for the server. here is our setup:
SCOM has 1 monitoring and 1 Data warehouse server. SCCM has 1 server with all roles on it. DPM database is on the same server as Application. Same with SCVMM. I have 2 questions regarding this move:
1. Can I have all these databases running on 1 SQL instance?
2. Is there a best practice document that highlights steps and "gotchyas"
Hello everyone,
I don't know what category would be appropriate for this question but security seems to be close enough.
I have this case scenario: I am running an automated application that extracts data from a web site and stores the data into a table on SQL server 2005. This information is not confidential in the extreme of social insurance #'s, bank account #s, but should not be seen by a typical employee (it has no use for them). After the data has been stored, it retrieves the data from the same table, processes it, and updates the same table. This application runs every hour infinitely.
Should all the insert, update, and select queries be stored under a stored procedure? I am not concern with performance. My concern would fall under design and security.
Is it worth to hide the details of inserting/updating/selecting behind a stored procedure? Or should I just allow the program to send select/update/insert SQL queries?
No employee (other then the developer and the DB admin) or customer ever access this table (They do not have permission from SQL). The username and passwords were created with security in mind.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks for your time, Adrian
We have a Silverlight based application which currently supports only one production version. Idea is to support three concurrent versions of the same application and user will switch to the newer versions based on their interest or they can still continue with the older version.
We still have to use the existing database for all these three versions.
What is the best way to architect this so that we can differentiate the code between the versions and still keep the data in sync and run all the versions in parallel.

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
I don't know why my application on the internet try to access the SQL Server 2005, when the host still having the 2000 edition. I put the following connection string:
Data Source=##DBSERVER##;Initial Catalog=##DBNAME##;User ID=##DBUSER##;Password=##DBPASSWORD##;
Isn’t everything fine with that? I created the table by host but dosen’t work. I’m wondering if can I conect straight with Data Base, without register in the server, like with mdb?
This is the error that I’m getting.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

I have several general questions about this but I thought I would describe what I am doing first. My senior project team is developing a web application that will wind up using SQL Server for the database. We are writing it in ASP.net and developing the database on SQL Server Express. My job is to develop and deploy the database. I have an ERD designed and am getting ready to start coding the tables, constraints and stored proceedures but am unsure of a couple of things.
1) How do I create a new schema?
2) I can see how to create tables in the GUI but what I am trying to do is create scripts that can be used to create the tables and objects on the actual server that our client will be using. How do I create scripts in 2005 Express? Do I just go click on the new query button?
3) Are scripts that work for Express going to have any problem executing on SQL Server?

Now I'm trying to run PHP web application on x64 2003 Server with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The version of PHP is 5.2.3. and the web application should be run as 64bit applications. Since there seems no way to use php_mssql.dll on the environment, I'm trying to use SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP but when PHP loads php_sqlsrv.dll, an error has occurd and there's a following message in an error log...
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:phpextphp_sqlsrv.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application
From this message, I thought the distributed libraries for Windows would be for a Win32 environment but there seemed no information that says the libraries run on Win32 environment only.
I really appriciate if you help me.

Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!

Hi Everybody,
I have made one simple application in asp.net 2.0 using VS 2005. I got following error
Server Error in '/[applicationname]' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
- When i got on my local machine i solved it by deleting sqlexpress directory from user's account and it was due to that I have installed VS 2005 on machine and by default it installs sql express with it.
- But I could not solved this error on my Development Server wherein there is no VS 2005. Only .Net framework 2.0 & 1.1 are there. My all other applications are running well.
So if any one have idea regarding the solution for this error then please reply me soon. It is very urgent.
Thanks to all of you.

Hello all, We have a SQL database that uses a MS Access projectfront-end, which I am now creating an ASP.Net application for (And am completely new to so may be missing some foundation concepts). With the Access project I added Active Directory groups to the database to use for permissions, logins, etc. For the ASP app I have it set to use Forms authentication with Active Directory (ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider). I can login to the app with the AD usernames/passwords but the connection from ASP.Net to SQL is using the ASP User. Is there a way to provide the authentication from the ActiveDirectoryMembership through to the SQL server, so the user: bobuser would be authenticated to SQL instead of ASPNETUSER?Or do I need to have the ASP.net app handle the permissions of which SP's a user can execute?Any help or suggestions are appreciated.Thanks,Jamie.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe migrated one database from SQL Server 6.5 to 7.0.
One of our applications connects to SQL Server using ODBC driver.
We created a new driver pointing on our new server,we can write and execute most of the queries that don't return a big RecordCount. As soon as we try to execute a query that should return more then 125-140 rows, the process fails returning an 'Interface Error' error message.
When we tested same queries pointing to the old (SQL Server 6.5) box, they worked fine.
We upgraded our ODBC ActiveX to a newer version, it allows us to get a few more rows only.
Do you know how can I fix this problem?

Can someone tell me the easiest way to deploy a SQL/MSDE server database via an installation package.
I have developed an application using SQL server and VB .Net. I am now writing the deployment/setup.exe that will create the database in SQL server. I will have a seperate client installation that will install the program files for client computers
I thought it would be as simple as connecting to SQL server and then executing the script that I had created using Enterprise manager Generate scripts wizard. This script runs OK in the query analyzer but not using conn.execute script.
I know there must be a simple solution that everyone else knows. What is it? Your help is appreciated !
Recently, I assumed responsibility for a SQL Server 6.5 application( I am an Oracle DBA).
This application is being purchased from a vendor. It is replacing an Oracle application.
I did not make the decision for accepting this vendor's application
Yesterday, I had to call the vendor as I had a question. It turns out that the application
--with about 70 tables -- will not have any indices, only primary keys that will be utilized
through Powerbuilder. There will be no foreign keys as all such constraints are
handled through PB code.
I have dealt with many different applications over the years and under different platforms
but I have never encountered an application where there are no indices. I have seen
application with way too many and even some with too few. Never an application
without any.
Has any one ever worked with, or dealt with, an application with no indicies? Is it
practical to attempt to use native PB code to replace indicies? If yes, was the application
running efficiently? Was everything through table scans? Any advise on how to deal with this vendor?
Right now there are no procedures or function -- just native sql code on the theory everything is faster
and more efficient? May be?
Thanks for any information.
