Hi
All,
I would like to know write all transcations in the log file to the
database with out doing full backup of the database..
Please let me know is there any dbcc statement or some other method to do this..
Hi there, I have decided to move all my transaction handling from asp.net to stored procedures in a SQL Server 2000 database. I know the database is capable of rolling back the transactions just like myTransaction.Rollback() in asp.net. But what about exceptions? In asp.net, I am used to doing the following: <code>Try 'execute commands myTransaction.Commit()Catch ex As Exception Response.Write(ex.Message) myTransaction.Rollback()End Try</code>Will the database inform me of any exceptions (and their messages)? Do I need to put anything explicit in my stored procedure other than rollback transaction? Any help is greatly appreciated
This should be a fairly simple question. It's based on this error message:"Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a COMMIT or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous count = 1, current count = 0." I get this when executing a stored procedure upon processing a form. This error happens when I intentionally provide input to the stored procedure that I know should cause it to error out. I catch the exception, and it contains the error message, but it also contains the above message added on to it, which I don't want. I won't post the entire stored procedure. But I'll list a digest of it (Just those lines that are significant). Assume that what's included is what happens when I provide bad input:BEGINBEGIN TRYBEGIN TRANSACTION RAISERROR('The item selected does not exist in the database.', 16, 1); COMMIT -- This won't execute when the RAISERROR breaks out to the CATCH block END TRY BEGIN CATCHROLLBACKDECLARE @ErrorSeverity INT, @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000)SET @ErrorSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY()SET @ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE() RAISERROR(@ErrorMessage, @ErrorSeverity, 1) END CATCH END Okay, so that works fine. The problem is when I execute this with an SqlCommand object, on which I've opened a transaction. I won't include the entire setup of the data (with the parameters, since those seem fine), but I'll give my code that opens the connection and executes the query: con.Open(); SqlTransaction transaction = con.BeginTransaction(); command.Transaction = transaction; try { command.ExecuteNonQuery(); transaction.Commit(); } catch (Exception ex) { transaction.Rollback(); } finally { con.Close(); } I'm calling the stored procedure listed above (which has its own transaction), using a SqlCommand object on which I've opened a transaction. When there is no error it works fine. But when I give the stored procedure bad data, it gives me that message about the transaction count. Is there something I need to do in either my SQL or my C# to handle this? The entire message found in the Exception's Message is a concatenation of the message in my RAISERROR, along with the transaction count message I quoted at the beginning. Thanks, -Dan
In one of my packages, I set the package-level property called TransactionOption=Required. During run-time I saw an error saying "[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "SQL_DW". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection. ". When the property is changed to anything other than Required, it works fine (the calling package that calls this package is not involved in a transaction).
The machine running the packages is Windows Server 2003, and so is the database where the data lives. I verified that the machine containing the database does has Enable Network DTC Access checked in Control Panel -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Application Server.
Help, I had a tran log grow to it's restricted size, however the person that created this made the max size almost equal to the set max size. Needless to say I have not space to work with. SQL got bounced and my db went into recovery mode. After recovery mode was complete I tried to put my database in emergency mode but it exec's but never sets the mode. Next I tried to dbcc checkdb and I get msg 7929, level 16 state 1, line i Check statement aborted. Database contains deferred transactions. There is no back up for this database. Dev play area. I can not detatch db becase of the same error. What next? Any help would be great.
Hey, I hope someone can quickly tell me what I am obviously missing for this weird problem. To give a general picture, I have an ASP.net webpage that allows users to select values from several dropdown menus and click an add button which formats and concatenates the items together into a listbox. After the listbox has been populated the users have the option to save the items via a save button. The save button parses each item in the listbox to basically de-code the concantenated values and subsequently inserts them into a table residing on a backend MSSQL 2005 database. PROBLEM: In the process of testing the application, I noted this strange behavior. If I use the webpage to insert the values, go to the table where the values are stored and delete the rows; Upon a refresh of the web page the same actions seem to be getting replayed and the items are again inserted into the table. Naturally, what I'd really like would be for the page to refresh and show that the items aren't any longer there and not the other way around. If the code that performed the insert was residing in a component that was set for postback I'd expect this type of behavior but its in the Save buttons on_click event. I have tried practically everything in effort of targeting the problem but not having much luck with it. Is this behavior practical and expected in ASP.net or has anyone ever heard of anything similar? I have never encountered this type of problem before and was hoping someone could provide some clues for resolving it. If more information is required I'd be happy to supply it. Hopefully, there's a simple explanation that I am simply unaware since I haven't experienced anything like this before. Anybody got any ideas??? Thanks.
Is there somewhere in MSDE (or SQL) where you can see how many transaction are made to a sertain database or by a sertain user? At this way i could figure out witch database/user uses most (or least) recources (cpu) over a period of time.
A server I'm working on has a very unique situation, where user tables and production tables reside on the same database. Users update / create tables or populates these tables, so it can't be a table-specific trigger. However, they give a new meaning to "kamikaze pilots" as it's not uncommon for them to "accidentally" update / insert / delete 500,000,000 + records in a single statement. I've tried educating them to use batching, but to no avail, so now I'm forced to stop these statements BEFORE they execute, based on rowcount, as they fill up the database log so quickly that it goes into recovery mode (It has a 200GB log file - insane, I know).
I recon the mosts transactions allowed should be 1,000,000 records in a single statement. Looking for database trigger to stop them from executing statements with large records?
Client is running X- version of application and corresponding database size is huge. Now client's vendor is releasing Y-version of same application with many database schema changes (like new tables added, new columns added, renamed existing columns and etc) To upgrade to the Y-version, vendor is suggesting to my client that down the system and do the upgrade for application/database to Y-version. We are sure that this process will take days together to upgrade to the Y-version. My client is not ready to down the system for that long. So we are trying to find the solution with minimal down time.The approach we are thinking is,
1) Create the replicated database to another server (server2) from production server(server1) using golden gate with X-version
2) Create new tables/schema updated tables from Y-version database on same server1. Here for Updated schema tables we are planning to use the name <table_name_Y_version> as the same table name exists in X-version.
3)With above 2 steps, golden gate replicate the changes from production to server1 and server1 will have the new Y-version table schema (with different concatenate name ' _Y_version'). BTW , there is no affect for the production
4) At this stage we are planning to find best approach, to fill the '<table_name>_Y_version' from X-version tables. two challenges here a) all data needs to be moved to Y-version tables b) they have to sync data in real time.
we thought of going to
a) ssis package to pump the data to Y-version tables, but real time data will not sync.
b) trigger based technique, previous experience said, lot of load
Hi,Is there a way to make a database write only, like in SQL server youcan make a DB read only? There is sensitive data which we want dontwant to read.What other alternatives can anyone think?Thanks.
I am very new to asp.net. I really mainly use PHP but want to migrate to asp.net, but it doesn't seem that easy.I am creating a page for peson to pay a subscription page where they will enter personal information an credit card information.I created the form for this with validation controls.I don't know however how to write the form data to the mssql database.I am using mssql 2005, but i would need a work out for the 2000 version as well.
I have a lot of databases under SQL Server Express 2005, reading an writing datas with VB6 (yes Visual Basic 6) and ADO (Provider SQLOLEDB). I do NOT install the SP2, but yesterday I install Silverlight and now I have SP2 on my SQL Server (9.0.3042) !?
Now I have a strange problem: I can read all datas, but I can't write any data to any tables.
Here a simple example:
I have a table "Professions", one column "RecNo" as int identity (1,1) with primary key and a column "Profession" as nvarchar(30).
Reading like this works:
Dim rcs As New Recordset
sTmp = "select * from Professions order by Profession" rcs.Open sTmp, gcn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly If rcs.RecordCount > 0 Then Do ... rcs.MoveNext Loop Until rcs.EOF End If rcs.Close
Writing like this doesn't work anymore:
Dim lNewRecNo as long Dim rcs As New Recordset
sTmp = "select * from Professions where RecNo = 42" rcs.Open sTmp, gcn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic If rcs.RecordCount < 1 Then rcs.AddNew rcs!Profession = "XYZ" rcs.Update lNewRecNo = CNull2Val(rcs!RecNo) rcs.Close
The rcs-object still give me the new record number after rcs.update, but the record is not in the database table. Adding a record in the Management Studio gives an error "row failed on retrieve on last operation". If I then click the button "Execute SQL" the new record is shown. Another behaviour: Adding a row in the IDE like described above locks the Management Studio. From where I recieve a time out error then click the button "Execute SQL". Any ideas whats wrong ?
This seems about the best place for my query however it does cross over a bit ... dont shoot me.
SQL 2000 sp4 on server 2003 dev env VB6 users XP Sp2 Mdac 2.8
I have a legacy app that required some simple ammendment, insert a single row of data into a simple table (Not rocket Science) Sample : insert into maintcon_mach (maintcon_id, mach_id, date) values (123, 456, getdate())
PK on maintcon_id, mach_id so that single relationship exists between maintcon_id and mach_id in the table.
The procedure above is followed by a verification procedure that checks to see if table maintcon_mach has a mach_id 456 against maintcon_id 123, this procedure returns true. So far so good, however if you step through the procedure till disconnecting from the database and then reconnect and do only the verification again, the data is missing.
The following steps to resolve have resulted in no improvement.
1. Verify MDAC in entire project and on users computers all 2.8 2 Remove transactions (just in case) and still the same. 3 Replace SQL insert with ADO (As below) and still the same.. tried this with and without transactions. 4 Tried referecing older MDACs 5 Installed SQLredist on sample machines and still the same.
rs.Open "maintcon_mach", conMach, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic With rs .AddNew !maintcon_id = lngmaint !mach_id = lngMachID !Date = Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd") .Update End With
Is the problem in SQL or MDAC??? Perhaps I've missed something (Obviously have) but have run out of places to look... Any idea's
Dear expert, please show me some examples of how I can update an Microsoft SQL table data with an excel sheet. Meaning, when I upload an excel sheet using an ASPX page the data in the excel sheet will be transfer to a particular table in the database. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I want to insert a value in a database table during a datareader loop. But I get an error saying that the connection (MyConnection) is already open.

Hello,Could some clarify for me? I’ve been told that I should add lock statements to my database write querys (update, delete, insert). I’m not sure If it’s necessary though. The only documentation I’ve found so far is how to implement a lock statement with threading but I’m not using the threading namespace. What best practice and how would I implement this without threading or should I be using threading?Thanks in advance!

Hello All, My boss told me that we can write migration scripts to database using Sql server management studio. can someone guide me or point to a website which explains in detail how to do this please. i want to learn this. or even a tutorial also would be great. i am interested in writing or executing scripts by using sql server management studio( in sql server 2005). i think its called sql enterprise manager in sql server 2000. Thanks a lot.

}
Then later, if I try to update, insert or delete to the database, the application will hang. I can read from it, but I cannot write. If I close the application down and open it back up without replicating, I will not get any lockups. It also will not hang up after any replications prior to the create replication. I think I am doing something wrong in the initial replication that is holding on to some connection to the DB causing it to lock up. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Does anyone know a way (a query perhaps?) to determine which logins have write permissions to a specific database on SQL Server 2005? Ive thought about joining sys.syslogins & sys.sysusers but looking at the columns, not sure which one would render me that info.
After a period of use (typically 1-2 hours), an application using SQL Server Express stops writing to the database, whilst still continuing to read from it. As far as I can tell, no error message is generated by any operation. The application is written in VB Express and is executed on several machines, with SQL Server Express on a central machine. Re-starting the application on the affected machine restores normal operation.
The problem on one machine does not cause a similar problem elsewhere at the same time (hence it appears to be an issue with the relationship between the application and SQL Server)
This does not appear to relate to the response to Q asked by sgcook on 9 may as we are not using user instances, but only a bare minimum connection string.
Hi frdz, I m creating my web-application in asp.net with C# 2005 and using sql server 2005. I have created the stored procedure for the insert,update. I want to know how to write the mathematical calculations in the stored procedure.. Pls tell me from the below stored procedure were i m making the mistake ?? As the discount and the total amount are not calculated by itself....and stored in the database How to convert the @discpercent numeric(5,2) to@discpercent ="NoDiscount" should be displayed when no discount is being given to the customers.... ALTER PROCEDURE CalculationStoredProcedure
I would like to ask if there will be a write and concurrency issue if i would create an online application with just one user connecting to the database, just like most open source php/mysql that can be downloaded
i.e Setup 1. I will grant a single user that will connect to a database and will be set to a config.inc.php file and then create a table users (userid, username, password) and this table will be used for the application authentication and access control.
Setup 2. or is it much better to grant users that will connect to the database and have the table users for access control of the application?
to further illustrate my query:
Setup 1 would be: ###################Table: Users user a@ipadd --> db1 --> userid mary --> myOnlineApp user a@ipadd --> db1 --> userid john --> myOnlineApp user a@ipadd --> db1 --> userid paul --> myOnlineApp
and Setup 2 would be: #####################Table: Users user mary@ipadd --> db1 --> userid mary --> myOnlineApp user john@ipadd --> db1 --> userid john --> myOnlineApp user paul@ipadd --> db1 --> userid paul --> myOnlineApp
will Setup 1 be enough if I will use SQL Server as database?
or Setup 2 is better user/database architecture?
This application will be online enrollment for a school with 16,000 students
very much appreciated for the feedbacks and suggestions
I am testing out a blank database created over two physical files on two separate disks with one table called data which has one column called values nvarchar(max).
I filled the table up with a whole load of data and ran a select * against it. If I run Permon at the same time I can see that the read load has been spread over multiple disks as each of these disks is getting read from in parallel. If I create the same database on a single file and run the same select * again it takes much longer, proving that the read load has been distributed across multiple disks.
Now moving onto writes, this is where the confusion lies. I understand that SQL server fills files evenly until they need growing, after which it will then fill files individually until they are full in a round robin fashion unless you have trace 1117 turned on. What I don't understand is why the writes aren't distributed out whilst it is filling these file groups.
I ran an continual insert into my table with go 1000000 to monitor how the files are being filled up. I monitored where SQL server was physically placing the files as they were being inserted by running the following query:
;WITH CTE AS (SELECT sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%) col1, RIGHT(LEFT(sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%),2),1) AS [Physical RID], DATAID
[Code] ....
I could see that it would a thousand or so records into file 1, then a thousand or so into file 2, then a thousand or so into file 1 etc etc. In another words it would hit one disk, then another disk, then back to disk one to fill the file evenly. Is there any way to make SQL Server distribute the writes out in parallel so that both disks are writing in tandem?
By the looks of it, multiple disks only scale reads, as with writes only one disk is ever written to at once which is annoying. Any way to harness the write power of multiple disks?
