I volunteer for a non-for profit group and they have alot of names in a
multiple databases. the problem is that some people are in multiple
databases. and if they send out a mailing from multiple databases some
people get 2 and 3 of the same thing. my idea was to either make or find a
program that has everyone is 1 database and then make the people part of
multiple groups. (ex: bill is part of group a and b and im doing a mailing
from both group i only want 1 piece of mail to go to him).
It can be a separate program or with access. that use access now but i cant
figure out how to make my idea work.
I'm running VS 2005 Enterprise, and SQL Server 2005 Developer / workgroup edition.I'm trying to follow a few online examples to play around, and some of these examples require that you add a SQL DB to your solution by going:-right click on website-Add new Item-Add SQL DataBase.WHen I do that, I get the error that SQL Express isn't installed. Now the question is, why would I want SQL Express installed when I have SQL server 2005 already installed? My Machine can support it, but it's sort of a waste when I need to run SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 and then SQL Server express all at the same time.Any advice?
We now host 200 G data in SQL Server 7.0 in MSCS. The data will be 1 terabyte at end of the year. The possible solution to host large data with good performance is to migrate data to Oracle or UDB in Unix platform. But we would like to try any possibility in Microsoft world before we decide to migrate data to the other databases.
I need your experience and recommendation about hosting large database in SQL Server with good web performance. Somebody mentions Microsoft tera server. Who has experience using tera server which is still in the beta release? I would like to hear some successful story to handle the large data and understand precisely hardware, software, performance moitoring requirement.
I have been asked to create an archive database which we can use for reporting purpuse . The idea is to have a seperate data base which is an exact copy of the current production database , Once we setup the archive DB . we will remove all 40 days old data from Production database and form that day on should have archive DB with full data and production DB with 40 days old. I thought go going log shipping or back up restor or snapshortor something but the problem is with all these technology the both data base will come in sync . If i delete data from production that will reflect in arvhive also .
I thought of keeping the 40 days only in production and the rest in archive . But they want to wiew the both data together in one aspx page . so i had think of some joint view . But when the archive data gets grow this would be the main perfomence bottlentck
Can any one help me to select a good solution for this, thanks in advance
Hello, Im doing research for my company for a project we are about to start, but the more I find, the more Im confusing myself. Maybe someone would be so nice to help me a little.
We need a database solution, either licensing (ISV) or i think maybe an embedded database. if its licensing, its not a problem, but after research, im thinking licensing would be a waste of time or too much and theire not enough information to go by just that.
Problem: Need to develop software for a client where there will be around 300 users using the system (not all at once neccisarrily). We are creating this software for them and they want to re-sell it after completion, but they do not want to make their customers purchase a database for the purchase of their software. (because of all types of licensing). We need the database RUNTIME to run on the customers machine to make the software work.
Is there a RUNTIME license for Independant-Software-Vendor(IVS) for redistribution? or would it make sense to embed a database ( for example, the free edition of sql server;embeeded feature :), or maybe firebird embedded database?) We are developing in Visual Studio 2005.
This might sound confusing, thats where im at. For those of you with more experience, hopefully you understand what im talking about.
Thank you. I have 2 days to find a solution. Ill continue looking and post in thread if i find anything new or clearify my problem.
Hi, I am noob, so excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I just bought a Learn HTML in 3 Hours book and a learn SQL in 10 minutes book and I was wondering how I would start to go about to build a super flexible enterprise wide web based database application, that is so flexible the users can put in any old crap in the front end and make up new fields as they go. Another one of my requirements is that it perform super fast and be distributed securely across my international multi billion dollar a year company.
So like I know Excel and a little VBA and I know how to use the query builder in Access and I landed this big old contract to revamp this old comapny's infrastructure. Should be pretty easy, right? Everyone is doing it.
So can you guys like help me out for free and stuff?
I have a solution with a couple of ssis projects in it. Everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio creates an extra .database file for the project's existing xxx.database file. The solution is under VSS control and VS2005 checks out the project and shows the file as a newly added file.
What causes this and how can I prevent this from occurring?
There are 2 of us working on the solution and the other fellow does not see this behavior.
The files do not show up in the VS2005 solution explorer. If they are user specific as I suspect (impersonation info?), then they should not be added to the .dtproj project file.
VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy' http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time! And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy. I just simply could NOT get it to work. You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question: Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection? - NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO ) Then select the tables you want in the DataSet. and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there. Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets, (a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database) the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets. YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM. Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks, Barry G. Sumpter

Let say I have a table that is composed of 11 columns - one the Primary Key and the other are keys to rows in another table. Of these 10 column 2-10 are nullable. Can I get all the info in one SELECT? I can't use JOINS because columns 1-10 are keys to the same table. I am not very good at explaining these things but hopefully it makes sense.
Hi folks, guidance required! Clients have an MSDE installed and they need all of their data to be dowloaded for the first time from our website. 30 tables r involved. Can i automate this? I suspect BCP allows only one table to be exported into a text file. Since it's the first time process i don't want to setup replication.
Hello All, I have a transaction table that holds nearly a million records and my master with 60000 records,I want to fetch details based on two dates.
I use Union operator to query the info from a view,is this right or fetch the result into a temporary table and fetch the result from temporary table using the same Union operator.
Which is the better way to fetch details faster.

Hi, i am not sure if i can solve the problem with SSIS. I wanted do do it hardcoded with C# or so.
So, for my project I need to download zip-files on a daily-base. In these zip-files are xml-Files. And in these files is information stored for inserting or updating tables on a MS-SQL-Server.
So, my question, is it possible to solve that with SSIS? And if, is it easy to understand and to learn within a few days?
I haven't found good sources for information on how to get the data out of XML-Files.
I've got a .dts which load data to several Sql2k servers by Copy SQL Server Objects Task. I'd like to add another task for a Sql25k but I can't because of it's requesting SMO.
It seems that such task need DMO. I know that there are other ways for do such stuff in that DTS but I wonder if there is any trick or shortcut for to avoid this barrier.
I think i have a quite specific problem that we have to resolve with replication. however, i don't know which type of replication to use and how to configure it for this:
To simplify the case a bit: We have one central server which has a table Sales(id, shopid, article). Also our 50 shops have the same table Sales(id, shopid, article).
spec 1: When a shop sells an article, the row of the Sales table at the local shop has to be replicated to the central server. This way, the central server its Sales table has all sold articles from all shops.
spec2: But now we have also an internet shop. All e-orders arrive immediately in the table Sales at the Central Serve with a specific shopid where the article will arrive. Now i have to find a way to replicate the new rows from the Central Server to the specific Shop.... Remark: the other shops should not have rows of other shops.
which type of replication would i use the best and how?

tblClientsCities ID (primary key identity/autonumber) clientID (int) cityID(int)
A client can be located in more than 1 city so i have tblClientsCities (think thats the right way to do it). Say i add a new client and the autonumber changes to "10" which is that client's identifier. How do i then add that identifier to tblClientsCities? I mean it could have been 3,7,205 absolutley anything.
I thought is would be easier to make up a unique key for each client with a script eg
Now that the primary key is known in advance it can be added to tblClients and then tblClientCities. But! i was reading around and many seem to think primary key's like this will slow things down.
So my question is what's the best way of accomplishing this?
What is the best Backup plan that can be give for a sql databse that is on a very high usage. Will a six hour backup will decrease the performance of the SQL server...
UCOA is to be updated with the average of all previous transactions where the climstid and isin_id are the same.
example
take case where holdid(transaction no) in the sample data is 14. What i need is a query which will sum up the data in the tran_value column upto holdid 5.
Again I need a set based solution. Gurus .. please help
Goal:Off-site backup of database without onsite tech intervention
Obstacles: * Webhost does not want SQL Server Agent running for fear of viruses * Database is 3.4GB, LDF is 3.7GB, and a Full Backup is 3.1GB.
Connection / Access:Enterprise Manager, RDP and FTP all work to access data and backups.
I have looked into doing a full backup then differential backups, doing transaction replication, and log shipping. The client doesn't really need replication, he just wants to know that if his server with the production database goes up in flames he has a way of getting back in business without losing more than one day of data.
I am hoping there is a method of "restoring" on his off-site server the data that is "backed up" on the production server. Is that possible if we're doing differential backups?
Is that the best solution or is there a better way?
Thanks for any recommendations or advice, Alec Sherman
These two queries when executed seperately give results in under 10 secs A union between these two does not give results even after 20 minutes ... Any idea why this is happening SELECT T001W.NAME1, t25a5.bezek SKU, QTY = SUM(CASE MSEG.BWART WHEN '101' THEN MSEG.ERFMG WHEN '102' THEN (-1)*MSEG.ERFMG END), YPLNT.VKGRP FROM MARA ,MSEG, MKPF,YPLNT,T001W,t25a5 WHERE MSEG.MANDT = MKPF.MANDT AND MKPF.MANDT = MARA.MANDT and mkpf.mandt =yplnt.mandt and mkpf.mandt = t25a5.mandt AND MKPF.MBLNR = MSEG.MBLNR AND MARA.MATNR = MSEG.MATNR AND YPLNT.PPLNT= MSEG.WERKS AND MSEG.WERKS = T001W.WERKS and t25a5.ww004 = SUBSTRING(MARA.PRDHA, 10, 3) AND MARA.PRDHA <> '' AND MKPF.VGART IN ('WR','WF') AND MKPF.MJAHR=YEAR(@BUDAT1) AND MSEG.AUFNR IS NOT NULL AND MSEG.BWART IN ('101','102') GROUP BY t25a5.bezek,T001W.NAME1,YPLNT.VKGRP SELECT T001W.NAME1, t25a2.bezek SKU, QTY = SUM(CASE MSEG.BWART WHEN '101' THEN MSEG.ERFMG WHEN '102' THEN (-1)*MSEG.ERFMG END), YPLNT.VKGRP FROM MARA ,MSEG, MKPF,YPLNT,T001W,t25a2 WHERE MSEG.MANDT = MKPF.MANDT AND MKPF.MANDT = MARA.MANDT and mkpf.mandt =yplnt.mandt and mkpf.mandt = t25a2.mandt AND MKPF.MBLNR = MSEG.MBLNR AND MARA.MATNR = MSEG.MATNR AND YPLNT.PPLNT=MSEG.WERKS AND MSEG.WERKS = T001W.WERKS and t25a2.ww001 = SUBSTRING(MARA.PRDHA, 1, 3) AND MARA.PRDHA <> '' AND MKPF.MJAHR=YEAR(@BUDAT1) AND MKPF.VGART IN ('WR','WF') AND MSEG.AUFNR IS NOT NULL AND MSEG.BWART IN ('101','102') GROUP BY t25a2.bezek,T001W.NAME1,YPLNT.VKGRP
I am trying to return a result from a select statement where I want unique (distinct) records but i want to return other columns as well as the distinct column. for example
select distinct field1, field2 from mytable
I want unique records for field1 but for those records returned I also want their field2 value. It seems distinct is not the correct choice for this. I have a hard time imagining there is not a standard solution for this. Can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance!!!!
I have a project named MF_SQL and i have created packages, config files for it, now I need to change the name of the project from MF_SQL to OLF_STG_ACC. So what should i do now to change this. If i change the name what are all the objects affected and what should i do to correct those?
Let me know what you think about the following code:DECLARE @MaxIdValue intDECLARE @MaxSortFieldValue nvarchar(50)SELECT TOP 1 @MaxIdValue = [id], @MaxSortFieldValue = [SortField]FROM (SELECT TOP PageNumber*RowsPerPage [id], [SortField]FROM MyTableWHERE (FilterCondition) ORDER BY [SortField], [id]) TORDER BY [SortField] DESC, [id] DESCSELECT TOP RowsPerPage * FROM MyTableWHERE ([SortField] >= @MaxSortFieldValue) AND (([id] > @MaxIdValue) OR([SortField] <> @MaxSortFieldValue)) AND (FilterCondition)ORDER BY [SortField], [id]This is a dynamic SQL and it should be easily fixable.PageNumber, RowsPerPage, FilterCondition and SortField are going to bethe variables and will be based on the user's searchcondition/criteria.-----------------------------Thanks for you attention.
