Urgent - Client Application Database Choice
Oct 31, 2006
We have a small accounting application which is currently based using DBASE database. We need to change the DB and considering SQL Express. However, is some one can clarify following, it would be very helpful:
1) Application is used mostly by standalone non-technical users. There are cases where more than one user will need to connect to DB.
2) We need to ensure that user can not modify database outside of our application. This is needed to ensure database does not get currpted or passwords lost and then no one can open the database.
3) Installation needs to be simple without providing any options to users except where to install database or point to already installed DB in case its a network environment where 2-3 users can be working on the same database.
4) Application is usually installed on normal desktop machines. So, DB should not load the PC heavily.
Please advice if SQL Express is the right direction even with these constraints? What are the other alternatives? We are open to have a small consulting project as well with someone who can guide us through these issues. Email to contact is rkabra101@yahoo.com

Hi all...
I am writing a Windows Application which will be used by about 100 clients. (NT Authenticated)
The application is going to be used in a LAN enviroment. User who have access will download a VB.NET application from a web site.
Of course, I want to prevent any of the 100 users from using a tool such as Query Analysis or ODBC to connect directly to the database and modify data.
So, it appears the way to go is to the "Application Roles". For this to work, the application roll password has to be saved in the application to execute the sp_setapprole procedure.
Is there a way to secure this password? I am worried about a user somehow extracting the password from the application and connecting directly.
Am I on the right track here? Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks,
Forch

How do I get a particular user to be a choice under the db_owner role for a particular database?
The user is listed under logins and even shows to be the db_owner for the database under the database access tab of the login properties. This is SQL 2000.
Thanks,

I am currently modifying an existing application (which uses OLE DB Consumer Templates to access a remote SQL db) to utilize SQL Native Client instead. Does anyone have any experience making this change?
Am I correct in my assumption that all I have to do is:
change my included headers from 'sqloledb.h' to 'sqlncli.h'
and
change CLSID_SQLOLEDB to CLSID_SQLNCLI?
I am still including the 'atldbcli.h' header and therefore still using the OLE DB Consumer Templates.
Can I continue to use the Consumer Templates along with SQL Native Client?

Does anyone know how that I can get the reportbuilder.application to run on a client on the network. It seems that if I have to remote into the actual server to get the report builder to work would be pointless for users on the network. I get the 401 Unauthorized all the time. Any comments would help.

Hi guys,I'm not sure if I'm just bad at googling but I can't seem to find a way to set an ASP.NET 2.0 web application to connect to SQL Server 2005 using the current client's user credentials. My web application is using Integrated Windows Authentication so its Page.User.Identity is set to a DOMAINusername value... I want to pass that to my connectionstring or have my connections pick up the identity automatically and use that Identity when accessing the db server.Oh and another thing, my IIS Application Pool is using a specific Identity itself, so I don't know if that might affect the above.Hope someone could help.

I have a procedure where after processing, i am required to send multiple message to calling application.
For ex:
create procedure test as
(@a as int,
@b as int
@c as int )
/*
some transformations */
print 'variable a is' + @a;
print 'variable b is' + @b;
print 'variable c is' + @c;
I am only providing a sample of return messages, but in reality there a lot more messages where a string and a parameter value need to concatenated.Unfortunately print is not allowing to concatenate parameter value.I can use RaiseError, but these messages are not really any error messages.
i tried to concatenate all message and output it using OUT type parameter, but the length of all messages combined exceeds 10000 characters.
Is there any other alternate to send these messages out to application?

Access also uses DAO ,Jet/ odbc to linked tables on SQL Server for many other tasks/forms.All is well when Access 1st run but after a few hours or so the Accessapp grinds to a halt.Upon checking the task manager the mem usuage upto 160MB and handlecount upto 86,000 ! (cpu process % is low).After the "Access Fail" if I stop/start access only, performance isnot returned, I have to stop/start SQL Server.It would seem that allconnections from this PC to SQL server are badly affected, it is nottied to the client application that had the problem.As I could not work out where the problem was I took the Accessfunctionality into a VB6 app, using ADO 2.0, thinking this shouldsimplify matters with Jet and ODBC out of the way.I now have the same problem with the number of handles increasing withevery new timer based function.* code snippet example *If Not OpenConnection Then 'we have not been able to open aconnection to SQL serverCall procLog("Connection failed to SQL server")Exit FunctionEnd If'gVar.cnnSQL is my public ADODB.ConnectionSet cmdSQL = New ADODB.CommandWith cmdSQL.ActiveConnection = gVar.cnnSQL.CommandText = "MyDB.dbo.insert_tblMyData".CommandType = adCmdStoredProc.Execute RecordsAffected:=lngRecs, _Parameters:=Array(lngID, dtDate,intCategory,strNationality,strNotes,strName)End With* code snippet *** After the "Access Fail" if I look at one of my clients, running thesame Access app on another PC, it seems normally responsive when usingone my bound forms to browse the data from same SQL Server **Any ideas anyone ?

I have following tables
Temp1
ID Client Drug
3889aa A
4998cc A
4998dd B
8011ff C
8011gg A
and Temp2
ID Client Drug
8011ff C
8011gg A
I have a conditional loop which changes the values of these 2 tables. I populate temp2 by getting all the similar ids from temp1. e.g: first time 3889 then 4998 then 8011.
my task is, all the ids in temp2 where temp2.id<>temp1.id should have same client and drug. if 8011 has client bb and drug B then 4998,3889 should also have client bb and drug B in them.
if 4998 has client dd and drug B then 8011, 3889 should also have client dd and drug B and so on. means all the records in temp1 should contain similar clients and drugs in them in actual table. I'll need to add the missing client and drug for the ID where its misiing in actual table.
After this process my actual drug table will look like:
ID Client Drug
3889 dd B
3889 cc A
3889 aa A
3889ff C
3889gg A
4998 dd B
4998 cc A
4998 aa A
4998ff C
4998gg A
8011 dd B
8011 cc A
8011 aa A
8011ff C
8011gg A
How can I achive this goal. Please help...

I have been investigating the number of connections activeinactive to a certain database server and I have stumbled across an application which seems to not be clearing its database connections.For one instance of a client there was >70 sql connections which eventuated from the closing and reopening one 1 screen in the culprut app. Once the application was closed all of the connections are recycled but its evident that within the application itself it is not correctly reusing already existing open connections.
I have raised a point with the main programmer that we need to investigate more into how the application is managingot managing its ADO .NET connections to SQL.
I am starting with doing some reading here URL... and I was hoping to get some more information about the possible impact of excessive sql connections on the SQL Server itself. Our organization is quite lucky in that our SQl Servers are Overspecced given their workload, bearing that in mind I would like to dig a bit deeper to get some stats if I can to highlight the scope of the issue to the managementprogrammers.Our SQL server peaks at 6500 processes and a good 70% of those are due to this applications mis-management of its sql connections.

Hello, over night I got problems with Visual Studio (Business Intelligence Platform) accessing the SQL Server. I think i automaticly received a patch that caused that problem. I had no problem deploying projects or accessing reports from Report Manager. As soon as I wanted to access the database from VS (through data or preview) the application hang up. I checked the database and everything is allright. I googled and a guy who expericenced a simular problem was recommended to uninstall and install SQL Server. At last I did the same but now I am even experiencing problem with installation.The installation stops when configuring components i. e. Visual Studio IDE and then nothing happens.
The logg says the following: C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727gen.exe install "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /NoDependencies /queue:3 /execonfig:"C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe" /nologo
05/15/07 07:32:14 DDSet_Status: LANGID: 1033 .
I cannot abort the installation process.

Hi All,
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Thanks!

In Sql6.5 we use binary sort order for a best performance (I think). I hear that it should be highlighted that the case for binary sort order being the fastest method of sorting and searching a database no longer applies at SQL 7.0
Is it right and why ????

I'm very puzzled by the choice of NC index being made by the optimizerin this example. I don't actually think it should use an NC index atall.I have:Table: CustomerStatus_TSingle data page19 recordsClustered Index on CustomerStatusID:CREATE TABLE [CustomerStatus_T] ([CustomerStatusID] [int] NOT NULL ,[Name] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[Code] [varchar] (30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CodeAlt] [varchar] (30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[Ordinal] [int] NULL ,[Default] [int] NULL ,[Display] [bit] NOT NULL ,[StatusType] [varchar] (1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,[DateCreated] [smalldatetime] NULL ,[DateUpdated] [smalldatetime] NULL ,[DateArchived] [smalldatetime] NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_ROMS_CustomerStatus] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([CustomerStatusID]) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]If I run the following query, it does exactly what I expect and scansthe clustered index:SELECT customerStatusID, [Name] FROM CustomerStatus_TWHERE dateArchived IS NULLAND Display = 1AND StatusType = 'Q‘and gives the following QEP and IO statistics:|--Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([Reach_Roms].[dbo].[CustomerStatus_T].[PK_ROMS_CustomerStatus]),WHERE:(([CustomerStatus_T].[DateArchived]=NULL AND[CustomerStatus_T].[StatusType]='Q') ANDConvert([CustomerStatus_T].[Display])=1))Table 'CustomerStatus_T'. Scan count 1, logical reads 2, physicalreads 0,read-ahead reads 0.If I now put a NC index on the statustype column:create index ix_nci_statustype on customerstatus_t(statustype)the query plan changes to:SELECT customerStatusID, [Name] FROM CustomerStatus_TWHERE dateArchived IS NULLAND Display = 1AND StatusType = 'Q‘|--Filter(WHERE:([CustomerStatus_T].[DateArchived]=NULL ANDConvert([CustomerStatus_T].[Display])=1))|--Bookmark Lookup(BOOKMARK:([Bmk1000]),OBJECT:([Reach_Roms].[dbo].[CustomerStatus_T]))|--IndexSeek(OBJECT:([Reach_Roms].[dbo].[CustomerStatus_T].[ix_nci_statustype]),S EEK:([CustomerStatus_T].[StatusType]='Q') ORDEREDFORWARD)Table 'CustomerStatus_T'. Scan count 1, logical reads 7,physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0.For some bizarre reason, the optimizer thinks that a NC index lookupon a single-page table, which ultimately costs 7 IOs, is cheaper thana table (or Clustered Index) scan of a single page. Why? Theshowplan cost also shows that it expects the NC index to be cheaper(which is presumably why it goes and uses it), but even after runningUPDATE STATISTICS on the table it still chooses the same idiotic queryplan.Any thoughts, or has anyone seen similar behaviour before, and cananyone please explain it to me?p.s. I don't actually WANT to put a NC index on this table, but Inoticed the behaviour by accident which is why I'm asking the question:-)

clustering sounds expensive and arcane. Is it ever a better choice than mirroring for high availability? Perhaps when the size of the db copy is too prohibitive under the mirroring option?

i want the query to get me only one record for every co_id if it has a company in certain PO or CR ( i used max fnctn to get me only one record)
result:
CO_ID,PODOCNO,CRDOCNO
----- ------- -------
1 350 400
2 355 1064
3 NULL 500
4 600 NULL
I used the left outer join in this manner
SELECT CO.CO_ID, MAX(PR.DOCNO) AS pO_DOCNO ,MAX(CR.DOCNO) AS CR_DOCNO
FROM COMPANY CO lEFT OUTER JOIN PROCUREMENT PR ON OG.CO_ID=PR.CO_ID lEFT OUTER JOIN CONTRACT CR ON CO.CO_ID=CR.CO_ID
GROUP BY OG.CO_ID
the result is ok but the problem its taking infinte time if i add more tables to the outer join, i have more tables and each with huge number of records
any better way to do this ?? its true performance is a big deaaaal

Hi - I have a rather unreliable host just now - but they offer .net, sqlserver and SSL for a reasonable price.Problem is, the domain is hosted on a shared server - and it keeps goingdown apparantly because of code which is less than clean, on somepeoples sites. (ie. not closing connections etc).I am considering moving to a decicated server - but at this point intime, cannot afford a full SQL Server licence for it - however, thededicated server does offer MSDE. Is it acceptable to go back to usingthis from SQL Server - for a currently low hit site - ie. around 500hits per day.Does MSDE offer stored procedures (I don't use views or triggers)? CanI just take a DTC backup/export of my current SQL Server database, andrestore it to the MSDE one?What would be the cut-off point for using MSDE?Thanks for any info - also, if anyone knows why UK companies charge somuch more dor dedicated servers, than US companies - I'd be interested.Thanks, Mark*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi,
I created a application in VB and backend database for this is SQL Server 2005. So far I was working on "SQL Express", as a testing one. I have almost 20 Tables and also lot of stored procedure. From the programming point of view, the database is not that much of large. The size grows only when the pictures are added to the database. Its not a client/server application(only desktop application).
If i install Enterprise Edition, will it Consumes large space and memory into the client machine. What about performance issue.
Right now i have two editions SQL Express and SQL Enterprise Edition.
Which edition you would like to suggest on the basis of information provided as above.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using a stored procedure to take backup of my database from the Visual Basic Programming.
Before i posted one of my thread with the same thing, so i was recommended to go through with DMOSQL do deal with SQL server with Visual Basic Programming. For me, this takes some time to understand the complete concept.
Because of urgent i am using stored procedure to take backup with the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.BackUPBLMSDB
(

Example @RP="D:ackupBackup-1 09-02-2008 11-24"
Every time i am passing a parameter with somename and dateandtime(System).
Example
Backup-1 09-02-2008 11-24 2900KB
Backup-1 09-02-2008 12-30 2900KB
Backup-1 09-02-2008 18-10 5400KB
Backup-1 09-02-2008 22-00 2900KB
Backup-1 09-02-2008 22-00 2900KB
I would like to clear my doubt, is it a good practice to take backup with different names. The above one i store four backups . If the system crashes and i created the new database with the same schema without any data present in the tables, can i restore previous backup database to the newly created database.
Moreover, The first two backups contains "2900KB", the third one is "5400KB" after the data is being modified. Look at the fourth one it is "2900KB". Why the size is being reduced to "2900KB" after taking backup eventhough i didn't delete or added data into the database.
Hope you will solve my problem.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Kashif Chotu
