Re: Collation Name Martin Ziacek22-Jul-02 9:54 Martin Ziacek 22-Jul-02 9:54  You do not believe, that's code project, do you? Have look here: MSDN Substring searching in SQL Byteman19-Jul-02 8:55 Byteman 19-Jul-02 8:55  In SQLServer 2000 I have a table with 25000 rows 7 columns. One of the columns is a nvarchar of 60. I need to do a substring search on that column and the performance is very poor, 3-10 seconds. The search is done by a stored procedure, for example a search for "John Doe" is implemented in SQL by a simple "LIKE %John% AND LIKE %Doe%". I need the functionality of this kind of query, but it's just too inefficient and slow. Any suggestions or references on improving text searching using SQL would be most appreciated. David Re: Substring searching in SQL AndyG19-Jul-02 9:44 AndyG 19-Jul-02 9:44  You might want to try setting up Full Text Search. Other than that, if you're searching for "John Doe", wouldn't you want the like to look like this: LIKE '%John Doe%' Andy Gaskell, MCSD MCDBA Re: Substring searching in SQL Byteman22-Jul-02 9:20 Byteman 22-Jul-02 9:20  I'd looked at Full Text Search before, but maybe I missed something... Thanks. The LIKE statement is weird because Searching for "John Doe" is suppose to return matches like "John Jackson" and "Jane Doe". That's the only way I've found to get result. Re: Substring searching in SQL Gerald Schwab20-Jul-02 21:43 Gerald Schwab 20-Jul-02 21:43  Is there an index on the column? Also, what about just using LIKE %JOHN DOE% instead of LIKE %John% AND LIKE %Doe%? Create database schema for distribution scrozier19-Jul-02 5:28 scrozier 19-Jul-02 5:28  Is there an easy way to make VS or some SQLServer tool create a script for me that will install my application's database schema in a new, empty database (for a new installation of the app)? Or is there a better way? Backup/restore? Thanks! Steve Re: Create database schema for distribution Ravi_Shankar25-Jul-02 1:05 Ravi_Shankar 25-Jul-02 1:05  hi, SQL Server has an inbuilt schema generation tool to create scripts Just right click any database and choose 'Generate Scripts'. Check the options required for your deployment.

I hadn't noticed it before. However, in my Visual Studio Server Explorer, the "Generate Create Scripts" item appears in the context menu but it is disabled (grayed out). It looks like maybe I need to install the "Client Tools"? But I don't know how to find them since my SQL Server came with Visual Studio. Any help? Thanks again, Steve Re: Create database schema for distribution Ravi_Shankar25-Jul-02 22:59 Ravi_Shankar 25-Jul-02 22:59  Hi scrozier wrote: It looks like maybe I need to install the "Client Tools"? Visual Studio .NET Server Explorer uses the SQL Server Generate script dialog (When you click the menu, the same dialog appears as in SQL Server Enterprise Manager). So, You must have SQL Server Enterprise Manager installed in the machine that has the Visual Studio installed.

I've read a stack of articles and white papers about MSDE that talk all around the issue, but nothing that deals directly with what must be a relatively simple task. I am admittedly new to the Microsoft deployment/setup world. Can someone point me to a source for a step-by-step for MSDE distribution? Thanks, Steve Re: MSDE distribution Anonymous25-Jul-02 3:40 Anonymous 25-Jul-02 3:40  Yes, MSDE is located on the SQL Server Developer edition or on an Office CD. All you need to do is run the Setup.exe. However, I recommend creating a Batch file to run the Setup because by default when it installs on WindowsNT it will be setup with "Windows Authentication Only" which will mess up any SQL Server Logins you have created. I have yet to find an easy way to run the Scripts after it's installed though. Re: MSDE distribution James T. Johnson25-Jul-02 3:50 James T. Johnson 25-Jul-02 3:50  Anonymous is correct; but he missed one location to find the setup files. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Setup\MSDE. After it is installed you should be able to run the osql command to execute scripts.

Bart-Man18-Jul-02 8:12 Bart-Man 18-Jul-02 8:12  Greetings, I am trying to connect to a ms access db remotely, and I keep getting a file not found error. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Here is my connection string like what I am using: ------------------------------------------------------------ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = http://Myserverblah/somedir/mydatabase.mdb"; The file exists on the server, and I can actually download it via a browser, so it appears that there is no apparent security problem. I have tried putting the mdb file in the root web directory, and I have tried creating a virtual directory to put the database in. I keep getting the error below: ------------------------------- "Source = Microsoft JET Database Engine" "Description = Not a valid file name. " I am new to remote database, so any ideas as to what I am doing wrong would be great. I think it has something to do with my connection string, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance! Re: How can I connect to MS Access via a remote? Jeremy Falcon18-Jul-02 8:35 Jeremy Falcon 18-Jul-02 8:35  What's the size of your project? If you are going to have more than a handful of people access this then do not use Access over the web. It's slow! The DB can't grow past 2GB and Access can't handle more than 64K rows in a table. Bart-Man wrote: The file exists on the server, and I can actually download it via a browser, so it appears that there is no apparent security problem. Never, ever, allow anyone to download your database. Move it out of a public folder pronto. But, do make sure you have write permissions for the folder the MDB is in so it can create a lock file. Try this for your connection string... "Provider=MS Remote; Remote Server=http://somewhere.com; Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\somewhere\my.mdb;" If you require a login to the database you can also specify User Id and Password in the connection string.

Bart-Man18-Jul-02 8:59 Bart-Man 18-Jul-02 8:59  Thanks for your reply, and your suggestions about access db and it's limitations!!! For now I am stuck using it since only a few people use the db, and they are sticking to access. Here's what I did. ------------------ 1.) I moved the database from the public folder like you suggested. 2.) Checked the folder to make sure it had write permissions. 2.) Tried the connection string you provided and it worked great!!! I can now connect to the database!! *3.) ++My Problem now++: I can't seem to get the recordset to do anything. I just did a simple query of "Select * from Table1". and I get the error "Internet Client Error: Invalid Server Response". I checked, and "Table1" is a valid table within the database Is this a security setting that I didn't set right? At any rate thanks for helping me with the connection string.

Bart-Man22-Jul-02 5:30 Bart-Man 22-Jul-02 5:30  It is weird I used microsoft's sample, changed the connection string, and it still does not work. I noticed something odd about when I connect a "First-chance exception" ocurrs, but my exception code does not catch it. It appears that an access problem occurs on the server side. I am trying to configure the rds, so that it will allow access.. After several attempts, it still does not work correctly. An msdn article suggested that I download msadc sdk and use that to test that the Rds is working correctly. At any rate I think the connection string is right, and my query code was right. But the rds is not setup right. Re: How can I connect to MS Access via a remote?
