Use a varchar and not a char. Only use char if the value is always a fixed length or you are using it as a key. (Not that it is a good idea to key on a char column)

Hi All,
I am looking to use DTS to manipulate data from a number of sources (access, oracle, etc.) and am looking for some direction as to best practices and gotchas that I should worry about. Do people recommend using DTS or is there a better way of doing this type of data import/manipulation? What would I use Data Link for when using DTS?
Thanks in advance,
---Jay

oh there is .NET 2.0 version as well.
Which is a bit nicer than the .NET 1.1 version

Hi All,
I am doing some research about External Linked Servers and am hoping that someone can point me towards some best practices information and let me know about any gotchas that I should look out for when using this capability in applications.
Thanks in advance,

I've quite a lot of experience in this in a few companies and this is how it generally work
Between SQL server no issues
Between other servers (Progress, Oracle, SyBase etc.....) issues are
* Timeouts in SQL command
* Large data migration or copy of large data chunks fails due to ODBC time outs.
* SQL92 is not a standard standard (work different on different boxes)
* You tend to go for extracts to text files for large data volumes and using dts, as it tends to work

Hi All,
I am doing some research on the use of ODBC descriptors and hope that the community might have some opinions:
Is anybody out there using ODBC descriptors in their applications?
What are you using them for and why?
Are their alternatives to using them?
Thanks in advance,
---Jay

Which way does the relationship go? - You have to delete the child first otherwise you get an integrity violation. However, if you have cascading deletes then you can delete the parent and it will cascade delete the child too. (Most people have this off because it can cause devistation if not used properly)

what if there is no relationship between both tables ?
hello
|
|
|
|

If there is no physical relationship (as specified by a Foreign Key), but an implied (logical) one, then it doesn't matter which order you delete the records. What I would do though, is wrap both deletes in a transaction so that you don't get orphaned rows.

Create a trigger that deletes records from the second trigger based on the deleted values from the first
create trigger dbo.DeleteTrigger on dbo.table1<br />
FOR DELETE<br />
AS<br />
DELETE table2 <br />
WHERE table2.ID = ( SELECT ID FROM DELETED)<br />
go

Best approach is to write a DAL (Data Abstraction Layer). This essentially means creating a class (or group of classes) to handle your database interaction. Your application can then call the DAL class(es) rather than the database direct. At a conference I was at a couple of weeks ago one of the speakers gave some excellent advice: If you have anything from your System.Data namespace in the presentation layer (your WinForm or WebForm class, or control classes, etc.) then there is something wrong with the design.
In the DAL class(es) you connect to the database, perform your query, close the connection and return the data.
The way I do it is that each public method in the DAL is a proxy for a stored procedure in the database.
Remember that you can send pretty much and SQL into a SqlCommand. So if you can do it in Query Analyser or SQL Server Management Studio, then you can issue it via a SqlCommand (Just Remember that GO splits the batch, and that isn't supported - you must only issue one batch at a time, but you can have as many SQL Commands as you like in a batch)
Does this help?

If we need DataTable or DataRow, then what should we do

You don't need those things. They should be converted to business object on their way out of the DAL.
If the application is small enough, you can probably get away with it. But for any application that is large enough you should really look in to a proper 3+ tier architecture splitting the presentation, business, and data layers out from each other.

Find something better.
Seriously, a DataTable/DataRow does not model your business object. It is just a handy wrapper that Microsoft provided. It does not make for a robust design for several reasons:
1. Suppose that you want to expose your object as a web-service. While .NET knows what a DataTable is, you would have to write your own wrapper for any other platform (e.g. Java).
2. What happens if you change a field name in the database? DataSets (and so on) are loosely coupled. You are more likely to forget to fix a DataSet than you are a properly designed business object.
3. They are large and unwieldy. They provide a lot of overhead because they are so generic. A lot of plumbing is needed to make sure that it works with different types of data.
4. It does not abstract the UI from the database. You still need knowledge of the database to use them. Which makes more sense to you? A class with a property called CustomerName or a DataRow with a value dr["cust_name"] (which must also be cast to the appropriate type).
