hi,
I am trying to create a custom installation package that won't take my end users very many steps.
Currently there are
-- Install .dot net (which I am not worried about because most of the machine have it already (and it runs with the setup.exe that I created from Visual Studio)
-- Install SQL Server Express with management studio Create the database by running the sql scripts within Management Studio and install the software itself. Though this process does work, I would like to make it a little easier. Our end users aren't exactly technically expert and will run into problems. Also with my limited experience of SQL Server, it is hard to rectify created instances, etc without a lot lof work that they won't understand.
my question is can we have a custom package, which consists of all the above and runs in single step.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to database programming. So, here is the problem I'm having.
Here is a basic description of the two tables I'm using. (The database is a MySQL RDBMS)
PersonTable
PersonId, INT, AUTO_INCREMENT (Primary Key)
Name, VARCHAR(32)
ImageTable
ImageId, INT, AUTO_INCREMENT (Primary Key)
ImageBlob, LARGE_BLOB
PersonId, INT (Foreign Key)
Basically, I want to insert the person record into the person table, next insert the image for that person into the image table, and finally link the ImageTable.PersonId to the PersonTable.PersonId.
So, here is the code I'm currently using
CRecordset personTable;
CRecordset imageTable;
personTable.Open(CRecordset::snapshot, "SELECT * FROM person");
imageTable.Open(CRecordset::snapshot, "SELECT * FROM image");
personTable.AddNew();
personTable.m_Name = "Joe";
personTable.Update();
personTable.Requery();
personTable.MoveLast();
long personId_ForeignKey = personTable.m_PersonId;
imageTable.AddNew();
imageTable.m_PersonId = personId_ForeignKey;
imageTable.Update();
The above code is not safe when clients concurrently submit records to the database. This is due to my faulty assumption that the last record is the one that the current client inserted, which may or may not be true depending on the interleaving of operations.
My question is this, is there a way to safely get the value of the primary key after inserting the record into the table, so that I can use it to populate the foreign key columns of the other table?

Have a look at LAST_INSERT_ID() function. That should give you the generated value for auto increment column. Also you don't need to requery the row anymore if you just get the value of PersonId.

Hi,
Probably this is not a question to ask in this forum . but I could not decide. Just putting things in abstract level. I have a primary function which insert some rows to DB0 tables and calls subFun1 and SubFUn2 who connection to different databases and insert some rows in tables in there.
Say I get error in subFun2 function I need to rollback everything what was inserted till that point from DB0 tables, DB1 tables and may from DB2 tables also. How to achive that here?
If exception occurs in subFun2, it will throw exception to primary function and only DB2 and DB0 transactions will be rolled back but not from the DB1 transactions. Any workaround for this
sub primaryfunction()
try
SqlConnection0 = Connection to DB0
SqlTransaction0
Insert/Update some table
call function SubFun1
call function subFun1
call function subFun2
SqlTransaction0.commit()
catch exception
SqlTransaction0.rollback()
end sub
sub SubFun1
try
SqlConnection1 = Connection to DB 1
SqlTransaction1
call function SubFun1
call function subFun1
call function subFun2
SqlTransaction1.commit()
catch exception
SqlTransaction1.rollback()
throw exception
end sub
sub SubFun2
try
SqlConnection2 = connection to DB2
SqlTransaction2
Insert/Update some table
SqlTransaction2.commit()
catch exception
SqlTransaction2.rollback()
throw exception
end sub

If I understood correctly, based on your description you need distributed transactions. You start a transaction, perform all operations on all databases and commit after that. MS DTC will take care of the transaction coordination.
In the semi-code you have commit at the end of SubFun1 which will result to commit point in DB1, and DB2 will have it's own transaction. Instead of using database scoped SqlTransaction, have a look at System.Transactions Integration with SQL Server[^].

i m working in VS2005, while creating database
locally no error but remotely it is showing the following error
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID
{10020200-E260-11CF-AE68-00AA004A34D5} failed due to the following error: 80040154

SQLDMo.dll will only exist (and be registered as a COM object) on a machine with SQL Server installed. Is SQL Server 2005 installed on the "remote" machine?
|
|
|
|
|
In remote machine SQL server is installed(where i want to create DB and DSN) but no SQL server in my server.
Exact working detail:
Local Machine RDP to Network Server ( Here i m running Installation Setup to create DB and DSN(This DB and DSN i want to create in other Server machine))
|
|
|
|
|
Sql server must be installed on the machine that you are running your program in order for you to be able to load and use SQLDMO. You will need to install it on the SQL Server machine, not just any arbitrary server.

hi every one i want to develop a hotel reservation system. please can someone help, tell me all the requirements i am not very food in programming. i don't know where to start from. thank you. Steven

My idea:
You have to store information about the hotels:
name,
city,
country,
number of stars,
room prices,
total number of double rooms,
total number of single rooms,
number of available rooms,
etc
You have to store information about the customers:
name,
email,
telephone,
address,
username,
password,
etc
You have to store information about the reservations:
username of the customer who made the reservation,
Hotel ID,
date of arrival,
date of departure,
total cost,
etc

You was near to result wich you want to get.
I have modify your query and it shows right result.
select top 3 * from TBL_SATTENDANCE_lkg where uid=81 or <br />
uid not in (select top 3 uid from TBL_SATTENDANCE_lkg where uid = 81)
Hope it will helps you...

If you mean MySql COmmand Line client, I'm not aware of such command. However you can write the procedure for example in the notepad and the paste it to the prompt or use source option to run a file as a script.

Just want to get some feedback on an execution plan
if 86% of the cost of a query is a clustered table scan I assume there is little or no options for optimising the query. On a 10 minute query this is the highest single cost.

I think it depends on the surrounding operations and how many rows are you expecting from that operation. For example if just a few rows are fetched using clustered index scan and they do not reside near each other, it would be more efficient to fetch them using the tree vertically.
However, it's hard to say if the plan can be better without seeing the whole plan and the sql statement (well actually also info about the indices and row amounts). Do you have any possibility to post the plan and the sql?

Thanks Mika - I was hoping for a quick confirmation but I found some ways to improve the performance.
This is actually 1 of 9 queries in the procedure and it takes 46% of the total, 2 queries take over 90% of the cost and each has a clustered index scan cost over 80%
The query retuens 3.4m rows from a base table of 16m with lots of linkages. I went through and turned all the joins into inner joins and did lots of preparation and reduced the query from 34 min to 10 min so I'll have to settle for that for now.

I guess I've been teaching and consulting for so many years that's it's quite impossible to get a quick or exact answer from me 
Mycroft Holmes wrote: each has a clustered index scan cost over 80%
I've noticed that the db engine is very eager to use clustered indexes and to perform horizontal tree scans on clustered indexes. There has been situations where simply replacing a clustered index with a nonclustered one has resulted to better performance. Especially if there are other index candidates or index joins can be used. It may be worth trying.
Mycroft Holmes wrote: The query retuens 3.4m rows from a base table of 16m with lots of linkages
Have you measured and separated the execution time versus time to deliver the records. A large part of the wall time consumed may be used for transferring the data (execution plan doesn't show that). Also that's quite big amount of rows to handle in a procedure. Perhaps there could be ways to combine the queries or rearrange the logic somehow (purely guessing here).

I've notice some function names start with :: or @@ or without both for eg; ::fn_Trace_Getinfo(), @@Identity(), Identity() what's the difference? why they are named differently?
