I would like to ask for recommendations for a good beginning book on
SQL Server. My web host offers a 100MB SQL Server database as part of
the package, and I'd like to use the feature to learn.
I am proficient in Access and familiar with basic connectivity to it
via ASP. I don't have my own license for SQL Server (and currently
can't afford one) so all development will need to be done by
interfacing with the remote database. As such, I won't need a lot of
explanation regarding installation and software setup.
Does anyone here know of a good study resource for someone in this
scenario?
Dan Tuohy writes "Hi Guys, im working for a company who have asked me to create a database to store there client information. They have totally left everything up to me and are aware that i know little about SQL server. I have downloaded SQL Server Express edition for use as the database engine. The server that the company have is a Linux server but the workstation machines are Windows :s
I am overwhelmed by the pro's and cons of SQL Server, Oracle blah blah blah lol.
Can you give me some pointers, ie books that would guide me step by step, or just some helpfull points to get me started?
Hi all, I am just starting to look into this interesting piece of technology, but am a little confused on how this works. I apologize if this has been asked earlier. My question is with this specific SQL server distribution, what is being used as the front end (to create and view your database & tables)? I read that SQL Server Compact Edition RC1 will have runtime only - How will you then get an application to point to a database via SQL compact?
before this, i used sql 2005 express to create .sql file to learn sql and it's perfectly fine since the connect to server prompt offers me a default server to connect to but when i use sql server 2005 there is no server for me to connect to. My question is how to create a server to connect to.

To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.

Is this book still the only book written for SQL2005's data mining? Does anyone know where I can find its errata? I have never seen so many editorial errors (typos, mislabeling, etc.) in other books. I am not worried about those obvious errors, but I am afraid that some errors may be so deceiving that when I find out, a lot of time will have been spent on misguided effort.

I want to set a database which will be made of two parts:
- One main set of files which is shared among users
- Another set of files which is proper to each users and will be mainly used for processing infos.
Because I must support Windows 2000 and XP as O/S platforms, I can't use SQL Everywhere. It seems that I'm stuck with SQL Express. My questions are the following:
- Can SQL Express manage database files with variable namepath?
- How can I configure SQL Express so that such a file may reside on a dynamically configurable path, I mean, which would be configured by application?

Hi all, I have never used SSIS before, but am looking to use it in this aspect:
1) A user uploads an Excel file into Sharepoint. This will be through a Document Library in a Sharepoint page.
2) When this file is uploaded, I'd like SSIS to notice there is a new file and process it - it will pull information from the Excel file, put it into a database, and - if this is possible - delete the new file.
3) This is iffy. Can SSIS then generate an InfoPath document from the information stored in the database? If not, I can just have a InfoPath query form.
I'd just like to know if this is possible. If you have any helpful links, please let me know - I would greatly appreciate it!
