Database

You need to either log in with an account that has permission to use SQL Server, or you need to set up the permission in SQL Server for the account you want to use.

I'm not really a fan of allowing Anonymous access to things in a business senario so I would suggest that you log in using an appropriate account. As you are accessing this through an ASP.NET application I am curious as to what your security settings are, if you check the box that says allow anonymous access then it will access resources through a special ASP.NET account.

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to disable the Auto Ansi to OEM option in SQL 2000. Its not in the tab as that is for the DB library and not the ODBC connection that 2000 uses. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi

I have a very large database with several stored procedures. now, I need to find a stored procedure that does some calculation if that stored procedure has a string "MESSAGE"(just an example) in an IF statement somewhere down the procedure.

currently i am opening every stored procedure, doing a Ctrl+F for the above string and if i find it then that means i determine that this is the stored procedure that i will have to work with(change the calculation in it or some work)

so my question is that can i write something ... that will list me all the stored procedures which have a certain string contained in them??

I am new to sql stuff .. so please help me. this could save me a lot of time.

thanks

sp_helptext is a system stored procedure which takes the name of a stored procedure and then lists it. This code will list all your stored procedure names:

SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'P'

So all you need to do is make a table of the names, then go through it, calling sp_helptext to get the stored procedure text, and if your text matches, return the name.

hi christian

thank you for the reply. the thing is that there are 120 stored procedures in the database and I need to know which stored procedure's BODY contains the string 'MESSAGE', etc. some stored procedures are almost 4 pages long.

I am not searching for the stored procedure named %Message%. but searching for a stored procedure whose body contains the string.

can you please give me a code sample ?

thanks

Sure - so you need to use the code I provided to build a table that has a list of stored procedure names. Then you need to use that tempory table to step through the stored procedures, IN CODE, retrieving the text of the stored procedures, WHERE the text is LIKE %Message%.

its_skar wrote:

That's why I gave you the name of the stored procedure that returns all the text of the procedure. You also need to get the names, otherwise, how will you know where to get the text from ?

Disable ODBC default settings

Its due when12-Oct-04 20:30

Its due when

12-Oct-04 20:30

Quoting from MSDN:
"SQL Query Analyzer uses the SQL Server ODBC driver, which, by default, sets these SQL-92 options on: SET ANSI_WARNINGS, SET ANSI_PADDING, and SET ANSI_NULLS. Any errors returned are formatted as ODBC errors rather than DB-Library errors."

Is there any way to modify these options so that they are not the default?
Thanks!

If you mean in Query Analyzer, go to Tools/Options and change the settings on the Connection Properties tab. This affects new connections.

Hi,
I have a program in which I connect to MSSQL database on my system ( local host) I want to connect to a remote database on a system with particular IP. How do I do this?

You don't specify what your program is written in, so I'll assume it is a language that targets the .NET Framework.

You change the connection string property of the SqlCommand object so that the part of the string that reads "Server=(local)", changes the (local), or 127.0.0.1 or whatever to the IP or machine name of the remote server.

Could someone suggest how I might best use my PalmIII w/ my laptop to emulate a network database or databases?
I need a lot of work/ SQL and .NET? (C# and C++/MFC)
Any articles, advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[ps- If it seems like I don't know what I'm talking about, you're right-- I don't.....]

You can't, simple as that. A PalmIII is only able to connect via a conduit, I believe, and certainly there is no support for SQL databases on the Palm.

Why do you need the network angle ? Just install MSDE or SQL Server on your laptop, the system will be agnostic to where the db comes from anyhow.

I have something I want to clarify.
I did a .NET project some time ago and I'm not sure I remember this correctly, but I don't think I called conn.Open() whenever I want to fill a dataset.
I think I read somewhere that calling dataAdapter.Fill() will open the connection and close it right away after it fills the dataset.

If for example I have 100 datasets to fill, would it make a difference if I call conn.Open() before I tried to fill the datasets and then call conn.Close(), or should I leave it to the dataAdapter.Fill() to open and close the connection?
Which one is more efficient? Does it depend on the database server (connection pooling, etc)?

Thanks,

Edbert P.

While I haven't done any testing with this to determine a precise answer, from experience the first connection.Open() has a noticable delay, while subsequent Open() operations have no notiable delay. This is because the connection gets pooled and .NET is pulling the connection out of the pool rather than completely recreating it.

I would say that if timing is absolutely critical that you should Open first, then do all your Fill() operations then Close() because getting and returning a connection to the pool will still take a small amount of time.

So I suppose that also depends on the database server you're connecting to then?
I'm assuming Access won't have such a luxury...
I'll try to implement Open before doing a whole bunch of sql operations then.

Thanks Colin! Smile | :)

What luxury? If you are talking about connection pooling it is done on the .NET side - so it works for Access too.

EdbertP wrote:

As I said, this is if performance is absolutely critical. And if that is the case then you should also be looking at structuring everything into as few (a single, if possible) database calls. You will get a bigger performance increase over doing a single open and single close if you do that as there is less communication toing and froing between your application and the database.
