Is it possible to find out who called a store procedure. So if you get an error in proc3, I know if it was called by proc1 or proc2.
I'm using SQL Server 2005.
I'm supporting an old vb.net program whose database it connected to was moved from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008. Is there a setting on SQL Server 2008 which will allow ODBC connections to access the database but not allow VB.NET to connect to it programmatically?
the error i keep receiving in the app is:
An error has occurred while
establishing a connection to the
server. When connecting to SQL Server
2005, this failure may be caused by
the fact that under the default
settings SQL Server does not allow
remote connections. (provider: Named
Pipes Provider, error: 40 – Could not
open a connection to SQL Server)
however I can connect to it when I create a system dsn to the sql server instance and through VS2005's Tools Connect to Database.
Here is the code I'm using to connect:
dim strC as string
strC = "data source=bob; database=subscribers; user id=bobuser; password=passme"
dim connection as New SqlClient.SqlConnection(strC)
try
connection.open()
catch ex as Exception
msgbox(ex.message)
end try
connection.Close()
Hi I need some sample SQL Server Employee database with data such as id, surname, name, age, adress etc. It must be quite big, I search with google, but I don't find any good sample.
Can any body help ?
Why do build servers poll for changes instead of SVN firing off an event (or a post-commit step) that tells the build server to start a build? It seems terribly inefficient to poll for changes, especially when the number of projects increases and the polling period is set to a very low value (for example, 30 seconds).
Hi, I got it right to create a SQL Server CE database table using the code below:
string connectionString = "DataSource=\"test.sdf\"; Password=\"mypassword\"";
SqlCeEngine en = new SqlCeEngine(connectionString);
en.CreateDatabase();
But how do I create my database tables and insert data? I've got the SQL created statements stored in the application Resource location.

I have a scheduled task on my server which runs a PHP script every minute. In the 'Run' part of the scheduled task I have the following:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://www.example.co.uk/script.php"
So when it runs it opens Internet Explorer and browses to that URL.
Is it possible to get it to close Internet Explorer after running the script?
Is there any sort of non-SQL API for talking to SQL Server? I'm curious if there is a more direct way to retrieve table or view data.
(I don't have a problem with SQL, just curious if any of the layer between the SQL parser and the underlying data store is exposed.)
I make a application, which has to interfaces. one is desktop and other is web application. both have their own databases (which are same is structure).
I want to sync the database from desktop to remote server and also from remote server to desktop but i have no idea that how it does.
I use the MYSql database. and my desktop application is in .NET
NOTE: There are more than one destop systems who update their databases and also sync databases.
Does any one know of an example on how to store an image in a SQL Server CE database?
What data type should the column be? (I am guessing binary.)
I use Linq-To-Datasets. Is it possible using that to put the image into the database and pull it out again later?
Thanks for any advice.

hi,
I need to extract data from my SQL Server database into multiple text files.
I have a table with 4 columns: UserID, UserName, Tag, Score.
I need to create a text file for each Tag (so basically I need to group by Tag and order by score).
Before to start I would like to know what's the fastest way to create several text files:
File titles = TAG field
each line = userID
We are a manufacturing plant that runs off an ERP system written in SQL Server. I have never worked with SQL and therefore do not know the language. What I do know is that a trigger job that was running and updating data for us, is now NO longer running. Is anyone familiar enough to answer any questions about this for me??? Any help would certainly be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jana
Hello,
We have an .NET client app working against SQL Server 2005 (clustered), do I need to do something special in the client app to make it cluster aware?
Thanks.
I do have a BKS file which contains 15GB+ size. How do I extract the data and run queries on this? I was told that this is SQL Server data. Should I try to upload this to SQL Azure? Any ideas.
Is there a plug-in like the java applet @ SQLinForm.com for MS SQL Server Management Studio 2008?
I tried SSMS tools based on someone's answer to my previous question but I don't find any functionality to format (beautify/tabify) SQL.
If somebody could please point out that in SSMS tools or suggest some other tool (preferably free)
Thanks :)
We have developers some developers who are developing against a SQL Server 2005 database, while others are using 2008.
We just discovered that generating the edmx against a 2008 database set the ProviderManifestToken to 2008, which means some queries won't work against a 2005 database.
While this is a known issue, is there any way to set this value at run time, based on a config file?
Hi
Is there any way to massively alter primary keys(uid) to all tables with no primary primary keys in sql server database ? I have a lot of tables and most of them don not have primary keys.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a database (SQL server express 2008) which has a column that is defined as text. When we try to store some text which is in chinese, it is not saved. I read that the field should be ntext. I will now have to a conversion to my table to create the column as ntext.
Would I have to do anything with the collation of the database which is set to Latin?

There is an example for today here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2583228/get-row-where-datetime-column-today-sql-server-noob
I am primarily interested in 2008 only. For today it looked like
SELECT (list of fields)
FROM dbo.YourTable
WHERE dateValue BETWEEN
CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) AND DATEADD(DAY, 1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE))
What literal value of date(s) or functions ( I need a format ) should I place there to make it work independent of local settings.
