the max lenght of id is 15 and it can be handled by bigint(i.e. 999,999,999,999,999) that also small in size, that mean i'm doing right, i will use "unique index" anyway thanks guys

hi,
I'm currently using sql server 2000 for my database.
My problem is that this database now hosted on the server gets updated regularly. I mean, we may want to change the structure of some tables and add new fields to them but at the same time we don't want to lose the data entered by users through our website which connects to this database.
I notmally take a copy of the database and update the tables and add stored procedures and then I generate sql scripts for the new tables and new stored procedures but the problem when I try to edit the structure of a table. This will result in losing the data that was inserted in the table. Because using the "generate sql script" will most probably drop the old table and create a new one with the new fields.
so, now how can I update this table and at the same time preserve the data??? I know that the new fields data will be null but that's fine, I can edit them later.
One more thing..when you guys update databases, what exactly do you do if this database is connected to a website? Do you drop the website temporarily in order to update the database? or what?
I mean what if at the exact moment that you dropped you database, some user was adding data? what will happen then??
thanks

If I need to make changes to a table structure, I generate an 'ALTER TABLE' command. I do NOT allow the system to drop tables.
If multiple changes need to be completed together or bulk rolled back, put them within a transaction.
If possible, ask the users to halt web access during a schedule maintenance period, or, schedule maintenance through the web site. Many large businesses due that on a regular basis.
Hope that helps,
Tim

Alter table will make the changes without losing the data.
We user Reg-Gate SQL Compare to generate the scripts for deployment.
You MUST always have a development database (take a copy of the production DB to another server)
We normally identify the quietest time for deploying an update and live with the problem of potentially losing some data. This of course depends on your volume and the size of the deployment.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I would copy the backup locally and then, using 'SQL Server Management Studio', use the graphical interfact to restore the database.
Right click on 'Databases', select 'Restore' and fill in the required pieces.

Eammonn Murray's article helped me to find the existing sql servers,
but it didnt deducted the existing databases in the network,
Databases exist within a SQL Server instance. You ought to enumerate the Servers first, and query the master DB in each server to find the list of databases available in that particular server. Ofcourse, you need valid credentials to log in into each server.

Hi friends,
In my application (developed in asp.net 1.1), I am going to implement the Cache dependency mechanism. I want to automatically invalidate the Cache object, once any manipulations done on a particular table in SQL Server.
My application and DB is running in different system. I found in one of the site, to create a trigger on the table which in tern calls the sp_makewebtask System stored procedure and write output of the query into a file.
EXEC sp_makewebtask @outputfile = 'c:\testcache.txt'
@query = 'select top 1 Problem_Category_Code from SMD_Problem_Category'
But the 'C:\testcache.txt' is pointing the local system in which SQL is running. I want to write a file which is available in remote system. I shared a folder from the system and made a mapped drive in the SQL system. (as z:\ drive)
I used the statements as :
@outputfile = 'Z:\testcache.txt' also as @outputfile = '\\10.160.1.4\wc\testcache.txt'
But in both the cases I got the error as:
Msg 16821, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_makewebtask, Line 131
SQL Web Assistant: Could not open the output file.
But in one site it is mentioned that, we can use the UNC name if we want to write file in remote system. How can I run the SP?
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?
I need some swift reply on this issue, as it is very urgent for me.
Thankfully,
jm

This means that SQL Server does not have the required permission to write into the shared folder.
You ought to give write permission to the account under which SQL Server is running to the shared folder. Make sure you give permission under the "Sharing" tab and "Security" tab.

Hi ,
In my code, if I assign a dataset to the combobox datasource property,it is not getting assigned. The combobox datasource remains null. Because of this the combobox is not getting populated with the data.Can Some one tell me what could be the problem.

You are definitly not trying to do that in SQL / ADO / ADO.NET, so better try the related forum!
Do rate the reply, if it helps or even if it doesnot, because it helps the members to know, what solved the issue. Thanks.

Hi

___________________________________

Why do you want to do that in the first place?
If your table name is known only at runtime, you've to use dynamic sql
<br />
declare @tablename varchar(20), @sql nvarchar(256);<br />
SET @tablename = 'table1';<br />
set @sql = 'select * from ' + @tablename<br />
exec sp_executesql @sql<br />
