Iam not sure if the Question is approriate for this forum but here goes....
I have just started playing around with ASP .NET and since i do not have a lot of money i downloaded and installed MSDE as my database. So far i havent been able to find any free tools to access MSDE. Iam looking for GUI tools from where i can create Databases , tables etc... I have experience with MySQL database and am looking for something like MySQLAdmin for MSDE..
Hello,I am looking for basic info on installing and using MSDE.I am trying to install and play with MSDE on my PC (Win2000). Ifinally managed to work my way through installation, and namedinstances but I am finding no information on how to simply START thedatabase engine and get to a sql prompt! I have manually started theMSSQL and SQLAGENT services, and tried running sqlservr.exe andosql.exe (just guessing) without success. Can anyone refer me to adocument that gives this BASIC information!?
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I've inherited the administration of two SQL Servers one 7.0 and the other 2000. We are looking into upgrading to 2005 so I'm gathering all the info I can on the DBs and applications using them.
Now, how can I check if a DB is currently in use? Is there a way to find out when a DB was last accessed?
By the way, I've never done DB administration so you can figure out how desperate I'm getting.
i need small information regarding how the picture image data can be stored in the database and how it can be made possible. is there for the need for any conversion.
Well i need to document what tables i have in my stored procedures. Im really new to sql as well. And the problem is if i try code i have or sp_depends for instance it will only tell me the tables that are in that DB so if I have multiple tables from different DB's they are left out. I was told that sp_MSForEachDb for go through each DB and I could try it that way. Any help or example code dumbed down for me would be awesome. This was posted in a previous thread but i though this would be a better explanation

I'm using a SQL selection to fill a DataGrid. One of the fields I have is called diagnosis. This field in the database can contain multiple diagnosis. But I use a set of characters to divide each diagnosis. Example : Sick!@#$%Hurt!@#$%Ill!@#$% My problem is this is how it looks in my Data Grid. Can someone tell me how to parse out each diagnosis.

To all: I have installed a new Compaq 7000 with NT4.0 sp3 and Sql Server 6.5 sp4 into production about two weeks ago. Everything went fine until yesterday. Around noon I received 2 Exception_Access_Violation about a second apart with two differend spids. About 20 mins later I got the Out of connections message and sql server stopped reponding. I Could not stop sql server and had to reboot the server. I have configured the connections at 600 and generally we average a little over 400. Everything seems to be running fine now but I would like to get some information from all the great minds out there!
What exectly is Exception_Access_Violation? Can I figure out what caused it or can I debug it? Do you think that the EAV caused the out of connections error? Any help, insight would help greatly!

I want to check who access the database in the sql server. When i go to current activity then process info. I found not all the users who access the database are displayed. Even though i refresh it.

Folks, I've inherited a SQL 2K server that has a trace running. I can see the trace file being generated(.trc), I can also see the standard templates(.tdf). But BOL is not helpful in finding information about the trace when you have no information. I just want to shut the damn thing off.
I can open the trc file in SQL Profiler but I am not proficient in the tool's use. I also don't see a trace table anywere in the database.
If anyone can be of any help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I am having problems with my store procedure displaying my last column name which is "DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC". I am trying to display the description from another table. But in order to get to the description I have to go through 2 tables. The tables look like something like this.
FROM di_webclickstats cwebs left join di_websessions webs on cwebs.session_id = webs.session_id where cwebs.DIR_CATEGORY_ID <> 0 and webs.ENTERED_DATE between @startDate and @endDate+1
I have developed a great intrest in the MS SQL Server recently. I was just wondering if it was worth putting my time into learning this system. In the members opinion would SQL server be technically fit? Does it have a good campacity and flexibility? These areas are quite important to me. I would also like to know how web friendly the server is and its ability to handle complex data.
I have been asked buy my boss to try and solve a problem. We have a access database which has a hell of a lot of entries. We want to use sql server to store this database now.
We want to be able to print reports and analyze the data by running queries etc.
Apart from the obvious sql server software, what would be required to acheive this, would i need a dedicated front end built?
Im just testing water at the moment looking for any info that i might need.
game server dont have a Data souce, they get there info while its going, then all that info is dumped after each round is over. I just twant the info to be stored into a DB then after each ggame is over to be dumped. all the info is dynamic.
I am under the impression that either there are deficiencies in the way SQLServer 2000 is keeping track of depedencies or perhaps the dependenciessimply need to be re-evaulated / recompiled.What is the best and/or easiest way to ensure that the dependency info isaccurate?Is there a way to tell MSSQL to rebuild/reexamine them all?Thanks in advance to the MVPs and other generous and knowledgable posterswho have helped me recently.Chad
