You could use the "show plan" in SQL200 or "display estimated execution plan" in SQL2005 to see exactly how costly each process is and maybe modify it accordingly.
Thanks.

I have an ASP datagrid in which the user can look up an existing record and update the fields, or insert a new record. So I have a couple of questions...
1. Is it considered better to delete the old record and insert the new (updated) record? I am rewriting this application and the old programmer did it this way which seemed odd.
2. If it is better to update, how do I program in SQL
if partNumber already exists, update
if PartNumber does not exist, insert
Thanks!

You could use a stored procedure to do this.

something like this. 0 is default value for PartNumber and if it does not exist than it will be created and a new part number will be returned,
create proc myProc
@PartNumber int = 0,
@PartDesc varchar
AS
Declare @partNo_Used
if @PartNumber = 0
Begin
-- Insert into Table
insert parts ( partdesc ) Values ( @PartDesc)
--- Get identity or part number
Set @partNo_Used = @@Indentity
End
ELSE
Begin
-- Update Record
update parts
SET partdesc = @PartDesc
Where Partnumber = @PartNumber
@partNo_Used = @PartNumber
End
-- Return Part and Desc
SELECT @partNo_Used , @PartDesc
GO

How huge is huge. I've tun dbs upto 10Gb with no real problems. If you want realtime analysis then you have to get inventive with your data design, indexes etc..
you can split tables across databases or even tune your disks and datafiles as well i.e have data and indexes on seperate raid arrays or even have different tables on different drives etc...
This all depends wether its transactions, logging or reporting etc... As Colin said its all realative to your application.

Hi
I'm trying to read RTF and Word files from blob columns in SQL Server, but the files can't be opened in Word when i retreive them. What am I doing wrong?
<br />
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);<br />
BinaryWriter binaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(fileStream);<br />
<br />
long totalBytes = sqlDataReader.GetBytes(blobColumn, 0, null, 0, int.MaxValue);<br />
<br />
byte[] outbyte = new byte[totalBytes];<br />
sqlDataReader.GetBytes(blobColumn, 0, outbyte, 0, (int)totalBytes); <br />
binaryWriter.Write(outbyte, 0, (int)totalBytes);<br />
binaryWriter.Flush();<br />
<br />
binaryWriter.Close();<br />
fileStream.Close();<br />

I have a small access database at whitch I connect through OleDb. Nothing going bad so far.
I use C# for the client, so I connect using OleDBConnections, and querry the database through OleDbDataAdapters.
The problem apears at date/time fields in the database: using the data adapter the fields are revealed to the client as DateTime objects, but at update or insert commands I get an error message informing me that the date argument is mismatched.
After searching the net I found that date/time objects in Access should be passed into update/insert commands like strings between # chars. If I do like this the whole thing is ok, but is there any way that I can make the data adapter work with access?
Thank you.

I have found what the problem was.
In my access database I had a field with a reserved name, and the command builder didn't sourounded it between []. So afther changing the field's name all things went ok.

in reply of moving database in sql Colin Angus Mackay once wrote :
Two ways I can think of.
1. Detach the database move the files and then attach at the other end. (You'll then have to wire up the logins again as the login ids will be different because they are stored in the master db)
2. Create a backup of the database, move the backup file to the new system, then restore the backup (you'll again have to wire up the logins to accounts for the same reasons given above).
now i'm havg same problem(i'm using sql server 2005 express edition), i hav tried both ways but at second server when i click database diagrams then it gives masseage that no valid owner of this database exits so can't work with database diagrams, in database properties i tried to enter different owners but didn't worked so what should i do??
further more what does this mean "(You'll then have to wire up the logins again as the login ids will be different because they are stored in the master db)" i just cant get it?
May God help u solv ur problems as well,thx in advance!!

I don't know - that depends on your database.
If the user in the database has db_owner rights then the user will be the owner of the database, and that user must be associated to a login.
shaz jazz wrote: there is no owner of this database
Find out which user or users are marked as the database owners (they have db_owner rights on the database, or sysadmin rights over the whole server) and apply them on your database at home.
shaz jazz wrote: but it doesn't accepts it and gives error of unregistered owner
I've never seen this error before, So I'm guessing that you have to use the same user as the owner as where the database was created. You need to use ensure that user has a valid login and that user is granted the db_owner rights on your server at home. As it is a lab experiment, you might want to elevate that to sysadmin rights (which will give that user the right to do anything on the server, not just the database).

"
If you restore a db with its security context (It has users). You have to delete them from the db then add then again. If the users don't exist on the SQL box you have to create them.

I have a dataview then i use rowfilter on htis dataview.
now i want to convert this filtered dataview to datatable or to dataset.Is there any method or i have to write my own logic.
Rickey

OK your slightly unclear here.
You can create a new datatable in your current dataset and "copy" the data from the dataview in there.
or
Create a new dataset, create a new datatable in the new dataset and you guessed it "copy" the data from the dataview in there.
DataSets are collecton holders of Tables, Views etc.

Hi Everybody,
I have a problem with the ADO.NET Connection which i use in my coding in VB.net 2005, to connect to the SQL Server 2000.
This connection works properly on a local machine , when i set the servername as localhost. but when i set the servename as the name of the server on which the SQLServer is installed, it doesn't work. whereas the ADO Connection does.(Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Test;Data Source=" & ServerName)
The ConnectionString I'm using is "Data Source=" & ServerName & ";Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;Integrated Security=true"
Thanks, in advance
Regards,
Myra
