How to create an NTEXT from string data?

kumaichi9-Mar-04 3:22

Hi,

I kind of have a strange situation here. One of our customer needs a realtime notification when a particular action is taken on their data and want an xml file. So, I created a trigger and an extended stored procedure. My idea is to create the xml in the trigger by concatinating row values into xml using an NTEXT object.

So, my question is, can I create an NTEXT object, concatenate string data and then, pass that value to my extended stored procedure? Then, have the extended stored procedure create a text file somewhere on the hard drive and write out that NTEXT value to file?

I know this is very strange but I can't really figure out another, more efficient way of doing it.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Craig

Running SQL script in .NET GUI

In the Enterprise version of .NET, you can edit SQL scripts in the GUI and then run it against a database just as if you were working in Query Analyser. I have the Professional version, where thise feature is turned off (you can run simple queries in that version, but not complex scripts).

Does anyone know if there is a plugin or something similar, even from Microsoft, that will allow me to do this without purchasing the entire Enterprise version of .NET?

Problems with CREATE DATABASE

When I try to create a database in VS.NET thru the Server Explorer window I get this error:

ADO Error:

'Could not obtain exclusive lock on database 'MODEL'. Retry the operation later.

CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check previous errors.'

I'm running VS.NET Professional with MSDE 2000, so this should work, I think.

Anybody else here seen this error? Is there anything I can do about it? I'm not seeing anything in the log files concering what's causing this...

Hmmmm... "MODEL" is the database that is used as a template for all new databases, it shouldn't ordinarily be written to. The exclusive lock is probably requested to prevent others from updating MODEL while a new database is in the process of being created.

My suggestion is to check to see if any processes are accessing MODEL and stop them.

Your suggestion worked - for some dumb reason I tried to do this while connected to the databases...all of them. D'Oh! | :doh:

But when I tried to create the new db while only being connected to the instance, it worked. Yeah, I'm new at this...

Thanks for your help Smile | :)

Generating SQL script

I want to create a script the database that I will be deploying with my application. The problem is that when I generate a SQL script it only scripts the database schema/structure but not the data. There is some data in the database that I wish to include with my script.

How can I script the database so that it includes the entire database including the data?

Thanks.

Some suggestions:

You can write the INSERT statements in a script. It can be time consuming if there is a lot of data.

You can create an XML file that contains the data and your deployment package can load that into the database.

You can skip the scripting of the database schema and have the deployment install pre-filled database files and just script the connection of these files to the Master database (I'm assuming your using SQL Server - other databases may differ)

Oracle Notification Services??

Does anyone know what's the equivalent of SQL Server Notification Services in Oracle?

I'm primarily looking to maintain the consistency of the data caches obtained from reading the database to be sync'ed with any changes made to the database. i.e, need a way for apps to register interest & be notified when a row changes for e.g. Are there any classes/add-ons in the .NET framework that works with the Oracle database? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi, everyone. I need help to SQL 2000 server in relation to obtain a backup for any database. I have some trouble using the backup of SQL 2000 server because the SQL agent must be stop first before start the backup. How I can automaticly start a backup without user interaction with the server?

What you want to do is add a scheduled task for SQLServerAgent, and let it do the backup on a scheduled basis. If you have enterprise manager, use the database amintenace wizared to create the backup jobs. If not the TSQL code below will create a weekkly backup schedule, rotating the backup file name and overwiting the oldest. (there is a better way to do this, sql can manage the retention for you, but this is all I had handy)

If I set my pool size is to 10,then 10 client connect to my database , what happend if 11th client request to connect to SQLSrever? Should it wait so one of 10th disconnect from databse or new pool create with size 10?

It will just create a new connection and add it to the pool. The 11th client will take the full overhead for connection creation.

I tried using it. It only has partial support for VS so don't expect to be able to drag and drop it onto your form, you will be creating the objects by hand in your own code. If you need to support more than 5 connections then I guess that it is a good alternative if the end user does not want to ponyup the money for a decent backend.

The database that I ended up being more interested in was the MaxDB from the MySql folks that supports triggers and stored procedures. I don't beleive that this .Data Provider supports MaxDB as MaxDB is *not* MySql but rather a open source database developed by the SAP people. MaxDB may be distributed free of charge *if* your application is being distrubuted as open source. Otherwise, it has a healty price tag.

Slightly off topic... choosing db server software

does anyone have any links or comments on how to choose a database server product?

i have fairly large database in mysql on linux (os could cange) currently, but it is being bogged down, on some pretty serious hardware, and i think doing some optimized stored procedures,perhaps a full text index, etc would help... i have used a lot of the various databases, but haven't done much performance analysis... any thoughts?

it does a lot of transactions, updates, inserts and selects...
but the biggest slowdown is the relatively low percentage of searches.
