I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
Our company plans to redesign the forum. we currently stores all posts in text files. someone suggest that we can use xml. I am not familiar with using xml. Is XML better for the forum design and data retriving?
Can anyone tell me , For instance : if someone has posted new post and If I want to answer to that post, how can I answer that. Or How do I know that there is some new post which people can response to it, please give me your feed back on this
Where is the list for forums, When i started to write for Sqlserver, i never searched or looked for forum. Same did when i was working with the c#. Now I have to find the correct forum. So where is the list of those forums, thanks.
I have had countless email alerts thru today alerting me to people replying to threads I have commented on. And I can see the person's comments.
1) WhenI click on the link it takes me to a page saying the post doesn't exist
2) When I try and browse to the thread manually I can't see the reply.
3) On one occasion I replied to one of these threads asking if someone had posted something and then deleted it. After I submitted the post I could see all the other posts in the thread which were supposedly missing before. The next time I browse to the thread (in a new browser window) I can't see any of the posts.
BROKEN!!!! I for one won't be coming back here until they fix it. Its pathetic.
I have posted something on the bug report forum by the way.
Our website provide users with a forum where they can enter messages. So, typically, a user would enter a message, click submit, and their message would be displayed on the forum.
The db that stores these msgs uses a varchar field. Now, we're adding a facility to convert any urls that are entered to links by adding 'a href' tags, so that when users see messages with urls, those urls appear as links, and they can click on them. The problem is that if a user enters a message of 8K chars, then we add 'a href' tags to any urls they have, that makes the message length > 8K, preventing us from storing it in our db. (Please note that we do need to add HTML tags for other reasons as well, not just to convert urls to links.)
We thought about adding 'a href' tags during pre-render, thus avoiding storing html in the db, but found that doing such string manipulations, while a user is waiting to see their post displayed on the forum, was expensive. Timing tests revealed that the time to render such pages more than doubled.
I have solved such problems previously by adding an extra field in the db to store any overflow data, that is, data that appears after the first 8K chars.
However, I learnt of sql server 2005's varchar(max) datatype, and 'am wondering if the best way to solve this problem would be to replace the varchar field with varchar(max).
Question - is there anyone out there running SQL Server on machines in the 2GB-4GB of RAM Range who has quick sec for a ? The documentation I have found for running SQL Server(native 32bit 2 GB RAM max) on 2GB+ machines is a little confusing (to me) if anyone can answer my question that would be great. I am running Ent SQL Server on WIN2K Adv box with 8 Xeons and 4 GB of RAM. I have enabled the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file but have not enabled AWE memory management in SQL. I have set the MAX amount of RAM avialble to my SQL box at 3GB and SQL Serve appears to be using all of the 3 GB under load. Is this the right way to set this or is there another more efficient way? Any answer explenations would be great. Thanks in advance
PS The server is only a SQL box no other apps / servers are running it.

The mirroring wizard insists I enter a fully qualitifeid domain name for my servers. But my servers are not on a domain - I just address them as machinenameinstancename, which the wizard convertrs to TCP://machinename:5022. When I click Start Mirroring it tells me that this is not a FQDN, which is true. How do I make this work?
i have a main pallet inventory table, kinda like: key location sku qty datercvd1 W9A03 12345 500 5/5/072 W9A04 12345 500 5/5/073 W9A05 12345 500 5/5/07 Now, if i say:Select loc,sku,qty,datercvdFrom TableWhere sku=12345 it works great, now say my order only requiers 700 of that sku,I only want to pull pallets that i need, how can i say:Select loc,sku,qty,datercvdFrom TableWhere sku=12345 (that qty summed is not more than 700?) not sure if i can or how to make it like a formula. Thanks in advance. Jeff
I'm just about to launch a forum, and right now its built in ASP classic with an Access db. I origianlly used Access because most hosts charge extra for MS-SQL server. Recently I switched to Jodohost who offers Access, MS-SQL and MySql for at no additional cost. So now that I have the option, I would like to pick the best solution before I launch.
* My questions are...
- What is the best db solution to go with for a currently small forum?
- How problematic do you think a data migration would be in the future if I stayed with Access for now and upgraded to MS-SQL with a full forum?
- Is it just smarter to go with MS-SQL now, with an empty forum, regardless of any preformance issues because potential migration problems are a greater risk?
- At what point does the speed of MS-SQL at high volumes over come the potential lags in accessing MS-SQL if it is hosted on a different machine from the one hosting the webpages?
* And please keep in mind...
- I have no db training. I can muddle through Access well enough, but administrating MS-SQL I think might be another story
- This fourm will start off very small, but could grow to be quite large
- I may not stay with jodohost, and would therefore likely have to pay more for MS-SQL (which I woudl rather not do)
I'm creating a discussion forum for my website, using Sql Server 2000. I need to display 'Number of threads', 'Number of posts', 'Last post by' (username/id and date) for each forum, and 'Number of replies' and 'Last post by' (username/id and date) for each thread.Here are a couple of ideas I have come up with to solve this problem:1) Poll the database (using a stored procedure that returns the number I'm looking for) for each forum when I loop all the fourms. - I suspect this approach isn't optimal, since it creates more traffic to the database.2) Have fields in my Forum and ForumPost tables for 'Number of threads' and so on. Now, create triggers that updates these fields every time a post is made. - I guess this would be much more effective than the first apporach, since everything is done on the database server directly.Are there any other ways that are better? Please advice! Thanks a bunch for any help!
I have been helped greatly by people in this forum for SQL7, but I have some questions about 2000. Is this a place where 2000 is being discussed at all? If not I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
I need to update a table on our Test Server which is GCSQLTEST, with another table thats on our live server GCSQL. How would I go about doing that in a stored procedure??
CREATE PROCEDURE [InsertRevised_MainTable] AS INSERT INTO dbo.RevisedMainTable ([IR Number], [Date], [I/RDocument], [Violation Type]) SELECT [Incident Report No], [Date], [I/RDocument], TypeOfIncident FROM dbo.RevisedMainTable WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.RevisedMainTable WHERE [IR Number] = [IR Number])
Hi. I have been talking with some developers who have built a hosted application supporting multiple customers. Their database approach is to create a new, dedicated database (same schema each time) for every customer that signs-up.
This approach is contrary to typical hosted DB designs that I have delt with -- that is, a single database holding multiple customer information rather than a unique database for each customer.
Does the improved security of a dedicated database out-weigh the additional maintenance requirements?
If anyone has some objective thoughts on this topic, I'd love to hear them.
My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.
i am building a forum in asp (just for fun). i have a mssql 2005 server, and i want to mergeimport data from another mssql 2000 server. but i dont know how to do it correctly.
i have some tables like this [forum_c] forum_c_id (PK, int, not null) forum_c_name (varchar, not null)
[forum_sc] forum_sc_id (PK, int, not null) forum_sc_cid (int, not null) forum_sc_name (varchar, not null)
etc...
forum_c meaning "forum categories", and forum_sc "forum sub categories". forum_sc_cid has the value of forum_c_id to know to what categorie it belongs to.
but i dont know how to import it and keep the correct id's. can somebody please tell me what i need to do???
When running practically any report in FRx (we use it to generate reports in Solomon) we are getting the following error:
FRx Reporting Engine:
01000: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.
This just recently started happening. Is anyone familiar with this? It doesnt give much information after that, it just will not generate the report after the message pops up.

I hate to ask for information such as this but with the low response to my questions I was wondering anyone knows of a better site for SQL Server database mail issues?
Just lately I have noticed that I am periodically getting signed out of this forum. When I try and sign back in I get directed to an error page saying:
We apologize, but an unknown error has occured in the forums.
This error has been logged.
I would say this has been happening for a couple of weeks now at least.
I have a field that contains values such as 8ft , 7ft, 18ft I have a report in reporting services that shows this:
Before Restock After Restock
Date 1/12/2008 8ft 9ft
1/13/2008 10ft 7ft 1/14/2008 5ft 4ft
I want to create a subquery that grabs the before restock and figures out if it sheds the "ft" part of the value, and then put in a where before restock > (greater than) After Restock.
