Hi all
The title says it, I searched the net but not even in the microsoft technet they mention what features I must activate for SQL Server 2005. Can someone help me out?
I want to create a sequence of numbers in sql server it will have the minimum value and maximum value, I want to cycle if the number reaches the maximum limit. ?
Hi,
I am new to sql server and was wondering if anyone can recommend any good articles on to setup the server so I can browse the database remotely with management studio and allow a program to connect remotely?
Thanks in advance.
We have a production database and visual studio 2010 database project. We had to make some changes in database schema. Unfortunately we don't have previous database schema file for production database. Is there a way to export existing database schema as *.dbschema file, preferably from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (2008 R2)? This way we could run schema comparison and generate update script.
How costly (CPU or memory wise) is it to have multiple instances of SQL server 2005 instead of only one instance with prefixed databases?
A company have three application providers. They each will install one application and they each require two or three databases. Should they all use the same instance or should every provider use it's own named instance?
Is there any strong reason for one or other setup?
Hey Guys,
Is it a bad idea to put Exchange and Sql Server on a same box?
We have about 4-5 GB database and 10 users for exchange, can this work?
Thanks
I've installed SQL Express on my PC hoping to do some practice creating tables and then modifying them. I coded a webpage in Visual Studio to, basically, SELECT * from a table in the SQLEXPRESS, but I can never get the connection string to work. Please help
My connection string
"Data
Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=test;User
Id=xaa9-PC\xaa9;Password=abcd;"
Error Message:
Query is select * from tblCustomers
where username='johndoe' error is
Login failed for user 'xaa9-PC\xaa9'.
Hello,
I run into the same issue as someone who posted this question on experts-exchange.com (couldn't read the answer though as I don't have an account there):

I noticed that the 180-day Evaluation version of SQL Server 2008 is the
Enterprise version. Is there going to be any problem "upgrading" the Evaluation Enterprise
version to a licensed STANDARD version (and how much additional stuff is going to be
left inactive on my disk and, more importantly, in my registry, etc. if I do
so)?

Any advice is appreciated.
The first beta release of the SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux is available for download! As announced in October , the “Multiplatform Team” (a.k.a. the “MPlat Team”) has released a preview version of a driver that will provide first-class access to SQL Server from applications running on Linux operating systems. The team is looking for feedback on this release to incorporate into their production-ready release, so try it out and let us know what you think. Here are the important...(read more)
I have 8 SQL Server installations (on 8 separate servers).
I want a way in which I can estimate future disk space requirements. Can anyone list down the parameters which can be helpful in making such reports?
It's possible I am unable to resolve this because I have been spoiled in other DEV environments where I had one database server for each reporting server.
I need some advise on how to point a single SQL Server reporting server to multiple database servers. These databases correspond to DEV, TEST and QA environments.
The way the reporting is currently configured I am unable to toggle between environments gracefully.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to speed up my PC, and I figured out that a full version of SQL Management Studio 2012 is installed including localhost server.
I only need to connect to remote hosts, so running a local server by default should be disabled. Is there an easy way to disable certain parts so I can speed up my PC and booting time?
Thanks in advance. I really have no clue what processes I can disable without ruining everything.
Hi
I currently loook after 20 odd databases in SQL server 2005 and need a tool for monitoring the performance and keep me informed if a database is running slow. Is there anything I can run within Managment studio of any other good third party tool (Pref free) that can do the job.
Thanks
Hi,
On a SQL server, why do we need a weekly update stats job (with full scan) when we have AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS=ON for all databases?
Doesn't this option update statistics all the time?

In SQL Server Management Studio, when I run a query which outputs a numeric column (int or similar types), they are displayed in decimal (example: 193). I want them to display in hex (example: 0xC1). How do I do that?
I found many answers on how to write converter functions, but I don't want that - only change the display in SSMS. I only found this unanswered question.
I use SQL2010, though may move to SQL2012 soon.
I've been tasked with taking over the administration of a MySQL installation (running on Red Hat Linux) that will become fairly critical to our business in the near future.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend some resources in regards to administering MySQL for DBAs already experienced with other relational database (SQL Server and some Oracle in my case). Specifically I'm looking for information around disaster recovery as well as high availability to start with, but I do want to get well rounded with the entire system.
Thanks in advance,

I use Windows 7 & Sql Server 2008.
If I run Management Studio as normal user and try to connect to database 'MyDatabase', I get this error message 'The database MyDatabase is not accessible'.
I I run Management Studio per right click 'Run as administrator', then 'MyDatabase' is accessible.
Where & what should I set, to be able to access MyDatabase as normal user?
According to a popular SO post is it considered a bad practice to prefix table names. At my company every column is prefixed by a table name. This is difficult for me to read. I'm not sure the reason, but this naming is actually the company standard. I can't stand the naming convention, but I have no documentation to back up my reasoning.
All I know is that reading AdventureWorks is much simpler. In this our company DB you will see a table, Person and it might have column name:
Person_First_Name
or maybe even
Person_Person_First_Name (don't ask me why you see person 2x)
Why is it considered a bad practice to pre-fix column names? Are underscores considered evil in SQL as well?
Note: I own Pro SQL Server 2008 - Relation Database design and implementation. References to that book are welcome.
I have a Sql Server database that has a few tables with zero row count but take up a combined 10 GB of space. I can see this by doing right-click/properties on the tables in question (data space is huge, between 1 and 6 GB, and row count is zero on these tables). I have no clue what could be causing this as I would assume zero rows would mean nearly zero space taken.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I was asked to drop some tables on a Company SQL 2005 Server and provide proof of deletion because of these tables contains sensible data. Is it possible?
Thank you all for help
I have Windows Server 2008, with IIS 7.5 and SQL Server 2008. I want to install DotNetNuke which is an ASP.NET application. What are the necessary precautions to not to get pwn3d.
Recently we completed a new MSSQL cluster that we are planning on migrating all existing SQL databases to. This includes our Sharepoint databases, while looking into moving the databases I found the Microsoft documentation for moving Sharepoint 2007, however have not been able to find anything similar for Sharepoint 2003. Can anyone point me to a guide for moving the databases, or provide some tips, instructions or warnings? Thanks
I'm having a strange problem with a SQL Server Maintenance Plan. It's set up to run a Reorganise Indexes and Rebuild Indexes, the history shows it has succeeded, but the fragmentation is still bad and requires me to manually intervene to fix them.
Has anyone seen this before?
We are switching from a SQL cluster to a mirrored solution. The problem is that we have a bunch of programs that would have to switch connection strings to handle the failover. Is there any way the we can set up a redirect or proxy that would take any legacy requests and forward them to the mirrored solution?
