I usually write backend, batch, service kinds of things, so I usually set CommandTimeout to 0 (unlimited).
In this case, it is interactive so I left it set at the default. But... it's a simple messaging system; I'm using a RichTextBox, and putting the "message" into an NVARCHAR(MAX) (Sql Server 2005). It turns out I can drag and drop more than just text in the RichTextBox (graphics, sound, video, etc.) which is very cool (glad I don't have to impliment it myself). It works fine on my desktop which also holds the database, but my cow-worker across town kept getting timeouts when trying to retrieve "messages" of 5MB or more (in one case an msi file of 400MB).
I should clarify that the message pull is performed by a worker thread in the client, so the interface is not hindered by the long-duration query.
Ah, well,

Hi - Where would information on the indexes created for tables be stored?
Like we can get a whole lot of information on table, stored proc, function by selecting from sysobjects.
Thanks.

Never mind - found it.
select * from sys.indexes

Hi,
I need to store large amounts of text (upwards of 20,000 words). I was wondering what is the best type to use, or is this not possible. Will I need to store them as files with links in the DB?
Thanks in advance

You can use an ntext column type to store upto 2Gb of text.

Hi All,
I want to debug a stored procedure in Sql Server 2005. But no option is available for this. I read somewhere that Business Intellegence Development Studio is required. So i tried to install it. But the setup application gave a message that the studio is already installed. Then i read somewhere that VS.Net 2005 is the BIDS. I already have VS.Net 2005 installed on my machine along with SQL Server 2005. But the "Step into Stored Procedure" option is not available under vs.net 2005.
Hope i am clear enough. I just want to enable debugging in Sql Server 2005, if possible without depending on VS.Net 2005.
Thanks !

Hi - You do need the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to debug stored procs - which is a part of SQL Server 2005.
I have used this feature and it is very, very helpful in debugging stored proc by stepping into them.

Hi !
I already have VS.Net 2005.
Now i have the BIDS installed.

It is very urgent.
Thanks.

Open BIDS
On top icons - select tools - connect to the database where sp exists.
Go to the location where sp is - right click on sp and step into the Stored proc.
You can provide the input string and set up break points - kind of similar to debugging in VS-2005
Hope that helps.

I tried what you told. There are a few problems -
1. When i click on BIDS from the Sql Server 2005, it opens VS.Net 2005
2. There is no option named "Step into Stored Procedure"
Is there any setting which i am missing ?
ALso the stored procedure was not built using VS.Net 2005. It is written in SQL Server 2005 only.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you connect to the database and navigate to the sp - THEN - right click on sp - you should see this option.

Hi - I want to lock a table,data is then inserted and selected from this table, send to an application(thru sp) and then unlock the table.
I tried searching for some thing on web - unable to find it - maybe the syntax is incorrect?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am working on a forgot password module in which i have to send the mail having password to the user.I am using UserID,Email,IsApproved,IsVisible fields in my table.The module is working fine with sending mail on the basis of existing email of user.But i have to apply checks on the stored procedure that if the IsApproved and IsVisble fields are set to 0 by admin then the password would not be sent to the user and if IsApproved is 0 and IsVisible is 1 then do not send mail and if IsApproved is 1 and IsVisible is 0 then send mail.
I am using SqlServer2003 stored procedure.

You can use IF condition in your stored procedure.

I very much doubt that.

Personally, I think that is a bad idea. You should never store the password in a form where it can be sent via email. It is better to store the password as a salted hash which means that it can never be retrieved. Then, if the user forgets the password, it has to be regenerated.

SELECT columns
WHERE Email = @email
AND IsApproved = 1
The logic is very simple. You have stated that if IsApproved is 0 then do not send the email, and IsVisible is unimportant (reread what you wrote if you think that is an incorrect interpretation)
IsVisible IsApproved Send Email
0 0 No
0 1 Yes
1 0 No
1 1 Doesn't say: likely yes

Dear Colin,
You are saying very much right that the IsVisible field does not mean at all.
A short while ago i got the same answer as urs was.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Thanks and Regards

And how can I import and export the SQL server data in to MS-Access mdb file. Please advise me, or give me some code snippet if possible.

You can issue virtually any command you like through SqlCommand including the BACKUP and RESTORE commands.

Why? That is a very inefficient format to store a backup of a database in.

I have to fill a survey form with data from an oracle database.
We debate two ideas: use a dataset object or a XML file.
For XML file I would use forward only method of reading the file and not DOM, faster.
Is it more efficient generating the XML from database and then parsing the XML on the application server then using a data set returned from the database ?
Thank you
