SQL Agent jobs.
how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line. But of course, that's all a "high level" overview of things

db maintenance plan might work as well, but that really just runs a SQL Job. You can also use a DTS which can be scheduled ( as you've already guessed in a SQL Job).
Look where you want to go not where you don't want to crash.

Thanks for the advice, the SQL Job is a really good thing.

I'm building a new application that had a table (Tbl1) with 4 date fields in it. Lets call them date1, date2, date3, date4 and the DBA wants me to remove them. He is telling me that it is ineffecient to have 4 date feilds in my table. He wanted me to break them out into two other tables one with the dateType and one with the date itself. I told him that the performance difference will be negligable but it will be easier for me to code. I want to pull back all four dates in one record anyway, so why do I have to break them out. Is it really bad design to have a date field that allows nulls?

No.
The main question is what do the dates represent? If date1..date4 represent a continuation of the same thing then it may be better normalised to pull that out to a separate table. If they represent separate things then leave them where they are.

And using a performance argument on a DBA is virtually an exercise in pointlessness. In my experience they are hyper on normalisation to the detriment of everything else.

Damn! I just realised I've now got a dual role. I've recently joined a new company and I'm primarily a developer, but I'm also a DBA... GET THAT TABLE NORMALISED MAN!!! JUMP TO IT!!!! JUMP TO IT!!!

Thanks for the reply, yhey are all different, it is for an insurance ap. It is DateSubmitted, DateQuoted, DateBound, DateDeclined. I saw no point in breaking them out. I know either dateBound or dateDeclined will be null, but I don't care. It is just easier to code.

Hi all,
I create a application that use SQL to store documents like picture files, sound files...Should i use image data type to store these files or just the path to the file or something else? please help me to figure out the best solution. Thank in advance!
|
|
|
|
|
Sure you have to use Image datatype.
The Image data type can store up to 2GB of binary data, which also enables it to store standard text data.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank albCode, but can you compare the performance btw 2 solutions:
1. Store the whole file in Image datatype field.
2. Store the path to the file only.
|
|
|
|
|
You need to think about how youe application will be used. Storing the file will make queries etc a lot slower but in some cases it may be the only way. If you store the path only then each client will need to be able to access that path (typically using a mapped drive).
So if you are using a purely server based application like a web app or even a small LAN based client server application storingthe path may be best.

If you use SQL2005 you should use varbinary(max). image should not be used any more.

This is ok but one problem is that some procesId show blank info with .net sql client data provoider. so how can i find where these conneciton is open in my applicaton because this processId doesn't give any clue for it , it show nothing only blank but status is sleeping. If any help have this context then quick feedback.

I am working on getting data out of a datagrid, and save it to a SQL data base. I have the following code:
// Create parameters for the QA_Setup dataset via Sqlcommand
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
// Define the params for each column in QA_SetUp
// cmd.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, ds.Tables("CompanyName").column("CompanyName"));
cmd.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "CompanyName");
cmd.Parameters.Add("@CompanyCode", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "CompanyCode");
cmd.Parameters.Add("@InspectionPrefix", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "InspectionPrefix");
cmd.Parameters.Add("@TestPrefix", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "TestPrefix");
cmd.Parameters.Add("@DefectPrefix", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "DefectPrefix");
cmd.Parameters.Add("@AuditTrail", SqlDbType.Bit, 1, "AuditTrail");
//define connection and stored proc name
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = sproc;
// call insert command for the cmd
dap.InsertCommand = cmd;
When I run the app I and try and save I get a syntax error(System.Data.SQLClient.SQLException) as follows:
Line1: Incorrect Syntax near 'prc_QA_Setup_ins'. This is the sproc name that is passed in. Not sure what my issue is, any idea?
the sproc is declared as string sproc="prc_QA_Setup_ins"; which is passed over to my DAL which is where the code above resides.

hi,

thanks in advance.

Hello!
I have a website and a standalone aplication, both written in C#. This applications are both using the same database. The problem is that if i start the standalone application and then I close it (or not), the web page is throwing an SQL Exception : "can't connect to physical file ****.mdf .... it is used by another process" or something like that. The only solution is to restart the SQL server. If I start the website first the same thing is happening with the standalone application. The only thing I can do is to restart the SQL server on and on after each use of one of this 2 application. What could be the problem? What can I do?

What does your connection string look like? Is this SQL Server or SQL Express?

my connection string:
"Data Source=82.208.150.83,1419;Initial Catalog=D:\\WWW\\ADMINISTRARE\\APP_DATA\\LICENTA.MDF;User ID=sa;Password=pass"
it is SQL Express
|
|

|

I can't say that I've personally had this problem, but I do know of people that have had issues with SQL Express and they have almost always been fixed by changing the connection string. Try using the following connection string:
"DataSource=<MACHINENAME>;AttachDbFilename=<file>;User ID=<user>; Password=<password>;User Instance=false"
or
"DataSource=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=<file>;User ID=<user>; Password=<password>;User Instance=false"
