Currently, our application is issuing a 'select count(*) from systypes' command to check to see if the database connection is live (has not been reaped by the firewall.) This is somewhat inefficient. Perhaps a less expensive way to implement this functionality is to issue a ping statement to the instance? At least a more simple SQL query is needed.
I'm sure this function is typical in application architecture. What recommendations do you have for confirming that a database connection is alive and viable from the application?
After digging for some time now into the "guts" of SSRS, I am wondering if anyone out there has any ideas which might help me at this point.
I am trying to write an Invoice report.
Each report can have 1 to n invoices on it. Each invoice can have 1 to n line items (spanning several pages for the larger ones) Each page must have a fixed header and footer with account and payment information on it (the page header and page footer work OK for this).
And here is the problem. Each invoice must also include 1 to n images at the end of the report. 2 on a page and take up an entire 8.5 by 11 inch page. (spanning many pages when many line items exist)
Since the report already has a page header and footer with the report detail stuffed in a table in the middle of the page (report body), I am stuck.
I have read several posts which talk about having a can-grow container with a subreport in the existing footer, but I can't even come close to getting this to work. My footer would have to take up the entire page and having nothing but a subreport in it.
I can not provide a link to the images in the report, as each report must print in its entirety without user involvement (no drilling down).
I am thinking that my report is too complex for SSRS at this time. I would love to be proven wrong by someone on this forum.
Does anyone know how i can keep an ssis package used for real time reporting alive no matter the amount of errors it gets? So for instance the server im streaming to is shutdown for maintenance, and the connection dies, its needs to just keep re-trying. In other words the maximum error count is infinite. i dont just want to set max err count high, i want it out of the picture all together.
I've completed my first SQL project, for which I've built a DTS Package. First thing it does it drop all records in the destination table, before importing new records from a txt file and then massaging them.
After I got done, I realized that if the data source is not available for some reason, the records will still be dropped, the process will fail, and the destination table will be left empty. In this case, leaving the existing records intact would be preferable to not having any.
How can I test that the txt file exists before dropping the records?
Thanks,
Randy
ps: Users will maintain a link to the table. I plan to update the table after business hours. If someone happens to have their linked application open while I'm trying to update the table, will it fail?
What is actually happening when a conversation timer is being used in terms of the dialog_timer column in sys.conversationendpoints? For example, I was using the following query to tell me which conversation timers are currently running:
SELECT * FROM sys.conversation_endpoints
WHERE dialog_timer > '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000'
However, I have noticed that periodically the dialog_timer value goes back to '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' and the query fails, starting up another timer. Then, the original timer magically appears again, working just fine. So, I changed to this query:
SELECT * FROM sys.conversation_endpoints
WHERE far_service
IN
(
'TimerService1',
'TimerService2',
'TimerService3',
)
But this seems like the long way around and doesn't really indicate that the timer is running or not, just that its present in the sys.conversationendpoints catalog view. What is the proper way to see if timers are running? If one dies for some reason, I need to restart it.
We are having some problems with the SQL Server 2005 Keep Alive mechanism causing dropped connections. The Keep Alive time and interval appear to work as documented. However the number of retries made before dropping the connection seems to be variable. When running Network Monitor I have seen this vary between 3 and 9 retries. The value for TcpMaxDataRetransmissions in the registry is set to 5. Does anyone know what the correct number of retries should be for SQL Server 2005 Keep Alive? Is this dynamically determined or is this a bug?
How viable is it to use MS Access as a front end (via ODBC) to a SQL Server2000 database?The users would access via the internet using a netgear vpn setup.Thanks,Paul S
We tested this new feature ("Keep Alive" for orphant connections to automatically close) with no success - neither the standard properties nor slightly changed properties worked.
We tested like this: SQL Server 2005 - ADO.NET Client The client established an explicit lock on one row at one database. Afterwards we disconnected the client by pulling out the network-cable. We waited about 35 sec for the sessios to close - but nothing happend; we waited another minute but nothing changed. SQL Server Management Studio and the command line "netstat" told us that the connections are alive ... so what went wrong? Did we miss something?
Our goal is, that such "orphant connections" get cleaned up and also their inked locks on the database. BTW we installed the sp1 before all the tests started!
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
I need detailed instructions on how to connect to a database from a Microsoft Access 2007 database to a Microsft Office Accounting 2007 database. The accounting database is an SQL 2005 datbase. It has an instance name of "MSSMLBIZ".
When I try I get an SQL error 53. Do not have permissions or database does not exist.
Hi-I have a sql server database, and am wring web apps to access it.I've created databases different ways, and ended up with different owners (eg dbo, nt authorityetwork services...)I also have connection strings using windows authentication, and some using a user name and password.I have read that using windows authentication is the best way to go, as far as security goes, but I have noticed some connectivity issues when I upload the site to the server, and test it remotely. What is the safest 'owner' of the database, and what's the safest way to connect?Thanks Dan
I'm having problems with the code to connect to an SQL DataBase...i'm not experienced with asp.net. I used to work with VB.NET 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Recently i instaled VB.NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005, becouse i couldn't install the earlier VB and SQL (problems with install) so i install the new versions of VB and SQL 2005, but this is like new to me. The problem is that there is new features that i'm not familiarized with...I have this code, a simple code to retrieve data to the webform: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Imports System.Data.SqlClientPartial Class data-ask Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Private Sub page_load() Dim connection As SqlConnection Dim mycommand As SqlCommand Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader Dim SQLStmt As String connection = New SqlConnection("Server=matrixWebSite1;uid=sa;pwd=1234;database=aspnet-books;trusted_connection=yes") connection.Open() SQLStmt = "SELECT * FROM books " mycommand = New SqlCommand(SQLStmt, connection) myDataReader = mycommand.ExecuteReader() While myDataReader.Read() Response.Write(myDataReader.Item("books_name") & " - " & myDataReader.Item("book_price") & " Euros<br>") End While connection.Close() End SubEnd Class -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What happens is that when i load, the page is blank (no errors is shown) just blank page.I don't know if the connection to database(outside the code) is right (permitions, etc...)Can anyone tell me what is the problem? Thank you....
I am completely new to this so sorry if i am doing something stupid.I have a basic code for connecting to Database but for some reason i get the next error: " System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Hi I have deployed a website on a server having Windows2000, IIS5.0 . It uses SQL Server 2000 which is on another remote server. While developing I used the visual tools in VS.net to make a connection and have used DYnamic properties of the connection object to map the connection string to the entry in to the config file. This works fine on my developement machine which has IIS and SQL Server 2000 on the same machine. The entry in the web.config for my connection string is:
value= " server=xxx.yyy.com; Trusted_Connection=yes;provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=events; User id=myuser; Password=password;"
where xxx.yyy.com is the server running SQL Server2000.
I do not get any error but the conncetion doesnot happen and my datagrid doesnot get filled. The code for creating the connection is designer generated code. Any clues? -svp
All my dreams will come true with this ASP.NET langauge if I only can succesfully connect to my SQL Server 2000 database... I've tried many ways, many parameters...
Can somebody plz gimma the right code to connect a database?
My question is, are the user id and password optional when creating a database connection string? I've created an asp page without including them, but in my aspx page (which is basically supposed to do the exact same thing as the asp page), I'm receiving the following error:
