There is necessary to create foreign key relationship between tables when we create database. I create a database and define references between the tables but could not define any physical relation between tables.
Please advice, I need your help
Cheers

If you ask if it is necessary, it isn't. An application can be built without using foreign keys. However I would recommend to use them since correctly used, they make the life a whole lot easier.

The relation is not quite physical, but logical between two tables. In order ro use foreign key you must have primary key or unique key on master table and then you can define foreign key on the detail table. See examples A and B in CREATE TABLE[^]

Hi,
We have a real time application that responds to user's input. The app uses SQL 2005 Express. We observed the following.
After the application idles for a while, the first access to the database takes a few seconds to process. Then, consecutive accesses are nuch faster. The SQL Standard does not show this poor performance after the idling.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
Best,
Jun

Check the power savings settings on the machine that is running SQL Express. Maybe the disks have spun down during the idle period. That would cause a delay
Does it have anything to do with the type of query that is being executed ? Large select (causing a full table scan), large insert,update or delete ?
Interesting problem.

By idling, I meant the app does not use database for a while. The app is running at all times.
Best,

There could be several reasons for this. Basically SQL Express uses the same codebase than Standard so most likely there are environment, configuration or schema (mainly indexes) differences.
One thing could be that buffer cache is loosing already read pages thus forcing physical reads next time. Is the memory usage defined as dynamic and are there other applications eating up the memory from the machine?
Also you could check from database options that the database is not closed automatically and if connection pooling is used at client side, that the lifetime for a connection in the pool is sufficient (connection string options).

Hi,
interesting.
if everything else fails, I suggest you add a "keep kicking" thread (or a Windows.Forms.Timer) that periodically performs a simple query, just to keep the disk, the database, and everything else awake.

I have noticed poor performance on SQL Express vs. Standard and the performance was cured by adding indexing that I thought were done by default.
Also, SQL server express can be run as a file based database. If there are no open connections the database engine would not be running and would go out of process. So the first access problem would occur quite frequently with this type of set-up too.
Really, just tweak stuff one at a time until something works.

If you don't ask questions the answers won't stand in your way.

Firstly, Microsoft states that Windows isn't a supported platform for realtime applications. That's by design, it's an OS whose primary task is to support the user, not the realtime-tasks.
As for SQL Express, it usually needs to share resources, as opposed to the full version which usually has a server-environment of it's own.
"By default, AUTO_CLOSE is enabled for Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) and disabled on all other SQL Server editions." (source[^])
If you're only writing to the database, then consider setting up a proxy-application.
Hope this helps,

Hi, I created a field called birthday in sql. It stored as date and time. ow i want to compare only the datepart of birthday with datepart of getdate()?
How it is possible?
|
|
|
|
|
use following string
CONVERT(varchar, yourDateField, 111) in place of yourDateField
hope this helps
|
|
|
|
|
What s mean by 111? can u explain?
|
|
|
|
|
|
NO! That's horrible! Don't ever do that! 
I once had to maintain a program that did that, I changed it to use a proper date compare and it ran in a quarter of the time (ten minutes as opposed to forty minutes).
|
|
|
|
|
where datepart(mm,bdate)=datepart(mm,getdate()) and datepart(dd,bdate)=datepart(dd,getdate())
|
|
|
|
|
You could also test the difference between birthyear and current year and check using modulo 10 if the person having a big party
|
|
|
|
|
Unless there's been space travel involved.

Aah, you're right, it would calculate the birthday too early. Perhaps Microsoft should include a new concept called slow modulo just for this purpose I think it would be interesting to read about it in SQL Server 2385 Books Online September edition.
