First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.
Is anyone has an experience with choosing
between MS SQL7 (or 6.5) on NT Server box
and Sybase on Unix (UnixWare 2) box to
use this server as WEB server?
Could you tell just a couple of advantages
and disadvantages of each of those systems,
or to point me at the source of useful
for this compare information.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple, supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.
Please help!

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a script written in ASP to load data file (.csv) to ms sql. In the script, I have a portion of script looks like taht :
.....
Do While NOT oInFile.AtEndOfStream oOutFile.WriteLine Replace(oInFile.Readline, chr(13), vbcrlf)Loop
.....
After that, I will use a BULK INSERT to input data to ms sql.
I am wondering how do I convert each row (data) to vbcrlf in Stored Procedure? Coz' I did not compose the convertion part, and I got no error when running BULK INSERT, but no rows are inserted :( HELP!!!!
I guess it's because the file is not being converted into a correct format??
Hi All,
How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return)
LF - UNIX (Line Feed)
CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am bulk inserting the data from a file into a table using the following format.
9.0
1
1 SQLCHAR 0 10 "
" 1 MSISDN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
This works perfectly for me.
But my problem is that the firmat may not be generated in Windows and i can't user "
" as row delimeter.
It could be generated in Unix and want to use LF as the row delimeter.
Questions :
1) How do i specify this kind of new line (LF ) in formatfile?
2) Is there anyway that i can specify both the delimeters and let it use which ever is appropriate ?
Please provide some inputs on this??
Thank u so much

Hi All,
I have a mssql server that is located somewhere and i can only able to access it with my pc mssql when VPN is connected. Is there any solution/configuration that can let me to access the it without connecting to the VPN?
Please advice.
Using mssql_connect($server, $user, $password) results in different ways the 'php server'
connects to the sql server.
On a workstation with WinXPProf, php uses the $user and $password to login and uses the
sql server authentication. Running the same script from a W2K3 server results in an error
because in this case the 'php server' tries to connect to the sql server using windows
authentication. (I have checked this difference with wireshark)
The problem has nothing to do with the sql server settings (mixed mode) / firewalls /
php.ini- file settings or versions of ntwdblib.dll because these are the same for both
connections. The problem looks more fundamental, probably due to settings in windows or
the iis version running on the server and the workstation.
Does anyone has a clue how to force php to use sql server authentication.

I'm an absolute beginner in asp/asp.net. You have been warned.
I managed to run and compile asp.net using win xp home edition, via Visual Web builder 2005 express edition. I managed to use its tools to create a test database and table and put values in it.
Now I wish to connect to this db using my aspx page. While fiddling around I finally able to drag the "table" icon on the database pane into my aspx page and it generate a code snippet below:
<div> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" EmptyDataText="There are no data records to display."> <Columns> <asp:BoundField DataField="US_ID" HeaderText="User id" SortExpression="US_ID" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="US_NAME" HeaderText="USer Name" SortExpression="US_NAME" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:nepConnectionString1 %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:nepConnectionString1.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [US_ID], [US_NAME] FROM [USER]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> </div>
When previewed in the browser, it seems to show the content of the db table.
What I want to know is a sample coding on how to connect to the db the usual way (initialise the connection string, prepare and execute the query, fetch the content of resultset). Based on the code snippets above (it contains the info about the db name, table name and the column name I'm using), can anyone guide me by providing the lines of codes that retrieve the data?
Basically the first thing I would like to do is fetching the data to be compared with user name and password submission after they click on login, among other basic stuff, which doesn't require bells and whistles like <gridviews> and other contraptions provided.
And another thing, would the connection string or other parameters be any different from my computer if I were to upload my aspx page including the mssql db file into my webhosting to be tested live?
Thanks for anyone out there willing to provide some hand-holding here!
Hello,Is it better to use a DSN connection or using a connection string Set Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Which is easier to use and more reliable? Also could I have all the connection info on one page and then just include it with a include statment everytime I need to query the database?? Thank you, Rich

Can you please let me know as to how many users can MSSQL support at one time on a single database say test.

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to connect to my MSSQL without having to setup a datasource in the control panel.
Perferably I want to locate the database within my perl code instead. I don't want to have to setup a datasource each time I need a different database. Perhaps there is a way to pass the name of the database along with the username and password through the command line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi,Please confirm.. is it possible to connect to MSSQL server by executinga shell script on HP-UX (UNIX) platform.Regards,Uncle Sam
View 3 Replies View RelatedPlease bare with me as I do not have much knowledge in this area with MSSQL.
I have installed MSSQL 2000 Developer and I have setup a database which I am able to connect to and work fine with from the actual server MSSQL is installed on.
The problem comes in when i try to connect to that same database from a different remote server. It will not connect to the DB from this remote server but I know all the connection information is correct so its something on the MSSQL DB server causing this and not on this remote server.
Someone I know has had this problem and has fixed it but they wont tell me how. All I know is they said something about manually opening the ports on the MSSQL server and he also said when you set it to dynamicly determine the port that MSSQL is listening on it errored out. however if you set it staticly to 1433 it worked fine.
Ive also installed SP4 in attempt to fix this but no luck with that either. And I can also get the same exact remote server to connect to completely different DB server without issues.
If anyone can please help walk me through this I would be greatly appreciate and I am also willing to pay some money if it will make my life easier.
Hi,
I installed Sqlexpress server 2005 and am able to connect to the server using the sqlexpress manager.
The connection parameters are:
server: 127.0.0.1 (This is an alias name pointing to TMD03SQLEXPRESS)
username:sa
password:test
mode: sql server and windows authentication mode
TCP/IP : enabled and listening on port number 1433.
But I am not able to connect to the server using PHP's mssql_connect function.
I tried various combinations like
mssql_connect("127.0.0.1","sa","test")
mssql_connect("local","sa","test")
mssql_connect("localhost","sa","test")
mssql_connect("TMD03SQLEXPRESS","sa","test")
mssql_connect("127.0.0.1,1433","sa","test")
but none of them works. I also tried OSQL and SQLCMD and they don't work either. They give me the following error message.
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL
Server [2].
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
Can anyone please let me know what am doing wrong here?

Can someone help me resolve connection outside of the server with "server nameinstance name"?

As we know, MySQL have function to output its data into Text File using "Select * into outfile 'C:/mytext.txt".
Does MSSQL has "Select into Outfile" function??? If yes, what is the function??
Thanks in advance :)

Hi there,
I wanted to know if there is a possiblity of running a scheduled VBScript file under MSSQL 7.0 using the - Management->Sql Server Agent->Jobs.
When I create a Step, there are these given options:
1. Active Script:
I understand that the configuration would allow VBScript or Java Script or Others.... but the command could only be as long as 3200 characters. My script is longer than the mentioned limit hence I will have to use an external .vbs file.
I don't know how the third option of others to be used.
2.Operating System Command(CmdExec):
I can only use .BAT, .CMD, .EXE, .COM extentions in this. Again, I would have to convert my .VBS file to a .EXE and then schedule it. It has a lot of overheads to it, which I consider is not apt.
Could anyone suggest me how to go about scheduling a .vbs file on MSSQL 7.0 with set frequency.

Raj
Here's my question, hopefully one of you can help me:
When you allow your log file to grow on its own, eventually it uses up all your diskspace . . so you truncate it. However, when you truncate it, it doesn't *resize* the log file, so your still out of disk space, it simply clears up room within the allocated "block" or what-not so that the db can continue to make log file entries.
So, does anyone know of a way to resize that log file without losing it's data? For example, we were thinking about truncating it, backing it up, dropping the original, and then restore the log file from the "truncated backup." Anyways, there must be an easier solution (if that one even works!) . . so please, if you have any hints, let me know.
Thanks,
David P.

Hello, we are running Microsoft SQL 2005 Express edition (9.0.32).
Recently I just noticed that the database log file of our main database is HUGE. The database data file is only 50MB and the log file is 210GB.
Any idea what is causing this? Seems to be getting bigger with time, in the last 7 days seems to have grown by 100GB. I noticed the following settings under the database:
Autogrowth: By 15 percent, unrestricted growth
Does that seem right? Thanks.

for example,
0001130130HAUT BAGES AVEROUS 03
9 chars <0001130130> is a field
1 char <H> is a field
20 chars <AUT BAGES AVEROUS 03> is a field
one record by one record store in text
no space, no symbol, no line break between each record
i must use the length of char to define it.
