Retreiving Connection Strings From Machine.config
May 12, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to retreive connection strings from the machine.config instead of storing the conn strings in a *.dtsconfig file. The reason that I'm trying to use the machine.config is for the simple reason that I'll be able to manage all of the conn strings in one location on each server. (Instead of mutliple dtsconfig files.) Is it posible to utilize the machine.config in SSIS? If so, could someone explain how, or better yet, have an example?
thanks for the help!
Connection Strings In Web.config
May 31, 2007What am I doing wrong?
This works:
SQLConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=McD_DB;Initial Catalog=McDFeelGood;User ID=uuu;Password=ppp"
Now I want to put it in my web.config, but these don't work ("ConnectionString property has not been initialized"):
SQLConn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("McDFeelGoodConnectionString") (VS IDE says this method is obsolete)SQLConn.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("McDFeelGoodConnectionString")
<connectionStrings> <add name="McDFeelGoodConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=McD_DB;Initial Catalog=McDFeelGood;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uuu;Password=ppp" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>
Config File/ Connection Strings
Sep 27, 2007
Hello
I made certain changes in the properties in my Config file and by Change the ServerName and Database Name.
below is the example
When i execute the package it still runs. I mean theer is no server or database with that name but it still works.
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=UHS137;Initial Catalog=UH_IntegrationStaging;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Changed to
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=NOSvr;Initial Catalog=NOdB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Then I created a new config file in which I checked in the box for ServerNam and when i change the name teher in the Config file
EXAMPLE
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ServerName]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>NoSvr</ConfiguredValue>
and when executed teh package its fails.
Thats what I neede
SO coming to my question.
1)What is it doing. I mean how is the package talking to this config file
2) Irrespective of what I do in the Connection String the package executes fine, which It should not do as far as my understanding goes. Why is it doesn't matter whats in String. where as it matter in later.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSynchronize Connection Strings Dialog Box With XML Config File
Aug 17, 2006Hello,
This has been happening to me since I started using Configuration files. I
use one XML config file that stores Machine Specific settings and one
connection string to my Metadata database. The problem is the database
connection.
When I set the conection in the Configuation file, save, close and reopen
the package, a dialog box opens with the title "Synchronize Connection
Strings".
To reproduce the problem:
1. Ceate New SSIS Project
2. New Data Source Localhost.Adventureworks
3. In Package.dtsx create an New Connection from Data Source...
4. Choose AdventureWorks
5. Save Package
6. Close Package
7. Open Package
There is no problem at this point.
8. Enable Package Configurations
9. Create a new XML Configuration File
10. Give it a name and a location
11. Click Next
12. Under Connection Managers Click Adventure Work
13. Click Next
14. Give it a Name

Storing All Stored Procedures In One Database To Minimize Different Connection Strings
Jul 20, 2005In order to minimize the number of connection strings I have to use toaccess different databases on the same Sql Server, I was consideringstoring all stored procedures in just one database. I want to do thisbecause connection pooling in my application - ASP.NET is based onthis connection string. So if I need to access 6 different databaseson one sql server & set 6 different connection strings, I end upcreating 6 different connection pools.Other than it might create more management work for the DBA, are thereany performance implications with implementing this scheme? Do storedprocedures run any slower if they access tables that are stored indifferent databases within the same server?Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.TIA,Minh Tran

Cannot Connect To SQL Express - Machine.config Errors And More
Sep 2, 2007Hi all, ive got a problem creating a sql connection.
Lets start from the beginning. I open Visual Studio, create a new empty website and then go to add a new SQL Database (new item > SQL Database). It asks me if i want to put this into the App_Data folder (which i choose 'yes' to), and then this error comes up...
I then decided to try a website template i found that i know works (because i got it running on Visual Studio at work), and this error comes up when i try to build the site...#
Heres a snippet of my machine.config...
Sorry about all the screenshots but im new to sql connections etc. Its all works fine at work and i can add a new database connection etc, but on my Home machine (Vista Ultimate, Visual Studio 2005 Pro, SQL Express).
Im sure its something to do with the machine.config, but i dont know how to rebuild it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Connection Pool Leak In Production Machine (in Other Machine It Runs Well)
Nov 16, 2006Hi to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.
Connection Strings, Trusted-connection VS Username-password, SQL Server 2005 Express
Mar 9, 2007All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Get SQL Connection For SQL Config From XML
May 30, 2007Hi
In toder to make my SSIS packages portable, I need to be able to set connection string to sql package configuration. I thought I can do that via XML package, problem is, at execution time SQL server package configuration is queried first, then variables from XML.
This way, I have no chance to set connection via XML.
Any ideas on how to aproach this ?
(I want to have as much configuration on SQL server so I can modify it easily from future GUI application.

I want to store my connection string in a configuration file, however when I create the config file the connection string password is not stored. I can manually edit my config file and add the password to my connection string but I am sure that BIDS has a better solution. What is the best practice for storing connection string passwords in my SSIS Configuration files?

Connection Strings
Nov 24, 2007I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work.
I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name.
My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation.
I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????

Jan 24, 2008Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists.
So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one.
ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?

Connection Strings
Nov 6, 2006I have created a SSIS package, and got it to perform as I want.
I am having a problem though with connecting to my data source (OLE DB Source) using SQL Server Authentication.
If I use Integrated security, I have no problems. If I use SQL Server Authentication, I get errors.
Here is the connection string that works:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
Here is the connection string that fails:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Password=**********;User ID=myUserid;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
The strange thing is that when I use the Connection Manager dialog screen and click on "Test Connection", I get the response that the connection succeeded. It is only when I try to run the task that I get an error.
Here is the error I am getting:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "MyDataBase" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "MyDataBase" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.
I have eliminated the obvious errors (incorrect Userid or password). Also, I am unable to use Integrated Security as this package needs to be distributed to various systems that may or may not be on our company's primary domain.
It seems I am missing something really basic here, but am not seeing it.
Any thoughts?

Dynamic Connection Strings
Feb 5, 2007Hi,
I am looking to allow a user to select which database they need to connect to, and then for them to be able to use that connection string until they choose a different database. I have a separate database specifically to hold the list of databases with the respective connection strings, and various forms that are currently looking at the web.config for the connection string. Unfortunately, I can't just put all the connection strings into the web.config as the number of databases available to the user will increase on a weekly basis which will be handled by a database administrator, so I want a user to select from a list of databases (for which they have permissions), and for that connection string to remain for that user. Potentially there will be 20 or more users each connected to a different database (all SQL Express).
If anyone can provide any help on this I will be truly thankful as I've hunted on the internet for hours and have been unable to find anything that has helped.
Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Connection Strings
Feb 6, 2007Dynamic connection strings
I have found lots of people asking for something similar to this but cannot find any solutions - can you help?
I am developing an application (ASP.Net2) in which users are associated with 'Clients' and every Client has their own SQL Server database.
Users are authenticated using standard ASP.Net Authentication via a separate database (common for all users). This includes a table linking them to a Client and each Client record includes the connection string to their database. Currently a default connection string is held in the web.config file.
My problem is that I don't know how to dynamically change the connection string after a user has logged on. I have a large number of databound controls, many of which are declared and some are coded in the VB.Net code behind. I know I can use code behind to change the connection string for a SQLDatatSource:
I thought I had it cracked with the following:
Public objClientConnection As New ConnectionStringSettings
Public Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)If Session("ClientDBConnectionString") <> "" ThenobjClientConnection.ConnectionString = Session("ClientDBConnectionString")objClientConnection.Name = "ClientDBConnection"objClientConnection.ProviderName = "System.Data.SqlClient"ElseobjClientConnection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("WebTool1ConnectionString")End IfEnd Sub
The session variable Session("ClientDBConnectionString") holds the client specific connection string and is populated when the user logs on. If this is not populated then the connection string defaults to one collected from web.config. This should ensure there is always a design time connection string available.
The trouble is, when I try and declare the SQL data souce like this:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsTest" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%# objClientConnection.ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="usp_SEL_DocumentTypes" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" ></asp:SqlDataSource>
I get an error: The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
I have been going around in circles on this for days and would really appreciate some help. Am I on the right lines? What needs to change to make it work? Is there a better way?
Many thanks,
Cliff

AS400 DB2 Connection Strings
Jan 17, 2007I am trying to construct a connection string via iSeries OleDb provider. The default list of libraries on the AS400 for my user is fine for production. But in test scenarios the code/data libraries are rolled out through a sequence of test libraries. How do I specify the additional libraries for testing.
I connect fine and can execute sql. the statements like insert into TestLibrary.Table work fine, but the associated trigger code isn't called.
Would it be better to use the .Net Connection set of classes instead. I switched from ODBC to OleDb because of assumed thread safety issues.

View 2 Replies View RelatedReferring To Sql Connection String In Web.config From Code Behind
May 15, 2007Every time I move my project from my computer to the testing server I have to change the connection string references in the aspx side and in my code behind.
For the code behind I declared the SqlConnection string at the top of the code-behind page for both connection strings and comment out the one not in use. Obviously I then comment out the string not in use in the WebConfig as well.
Being superlatively lazy I always look for the easiest and quickest way to do most anything - connection strings included. Having to comment out strings twice brought rise to the question of whether I can refer to the connection string in the web.config file from the code-behind page. I'm sure it can be done, and I did a good amount of hunting around, but I couldn't find any examples of code that would do that.
Currently, as I said above, I have two connection strings declared at the top of my code-behind. Here's an example of one:Private sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=DATABASESERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD")
Then, I just use sqlConn as usual in my binding without having to "dim" it in every sub:sdaPersonnel = New SqlDataAdapter(strSqlPersonnel, sqlConn)
Then there's the SqlConnections set up by the wizard on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany" Runat="Server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DATABASECONNECTIONSTRING %>" ...>
And for the connection in the web.config:<add name="DATABASECONNECTIONSTRING" connectionString="Data Source=DATABASESERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
So, what would be the code in the code-behind page to refer to the connection string in the web.config file?
Thanks!
