Hi Everyone.
I have a relative simple question. I want to load an image into a SQL 2005 Database, but I dont want to write a program to do this. Is there any way that I will be able to upload the image into SQL without a Windows/Web application? Purely in SQL itself?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I know it's properly a simple question, but I am looking for a shortcut 
Kind Regards,
Elizma

Have a look at UPDATE[^] statement's WRITE method if you have varbinary column. Otherwise see WRITETEXT[^].

Hi all,
I am doing a project in .net 2.0 which consists of both win forms and web forms. For web application i am using sql server 2005 and for win forms i am going to use msde.

I use the SQL SERVER2000. My program is to check the present of the employees, then write the record to the sheet.I will give him/her a tip if he/she has signed today,then I would not write this record to the sheet. How I konw he/she has signed today? Query the large record sheet every time? I think It is time consuming.Is there a better solution?

If you have recorded logins to a table, add a column for sign-in time. Then use that column in your query to restrict rows to today's information. Also add an index containing both username (or whatever is the column you use to identify the user) and sign-in date.
Also you could delete older rows once in a while.
Another option is only to record the last login date to the table containing user information (update the row and set last login date to getdate()). When you fetch info about the user, check if the last login date is today or earlier.

This question is related to the performance of using Stored Procedure OR Views in the following scenario.
We are building an application for Multiple Organizations (Tenants) and using the Shared Database approach for maintaining the data. So Every Table in our database will have TenantId column. Sample Table is shown here:
CREATE TABLE [ent].[tbl_NetworkProfileTemplate](
[PK_NetworkProfileTemplateId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL,
[ProfileTemplateName] [nvarchar](20) NOT NULL,
[ProfileTemplateDescription] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[FK_TenantId] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_tbl_NetworkProfileTemplate] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[PK_NetworkProfileTemplateId] ASC,
[FK_TenantId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [TenantPScheme]([FK_TenantId])
)
Now I want to Protect (filter) the data at the database level: If User belonging to Tenant Id =1 logins into the application that user will see records only for that Tenant. And I want this filtration of data at the Database level so developers writing the code in the business layer doesnot need to worry about the filtration of data.
So there are possibly two solutions for this
1. Create stored procedures for each table to fetch, insert, delete and update the records. The logic in the stored procedure will filter the records based upon the Connection with the Database. (Each Tenant will have separate database User)
2. Create views of each table that will filter out the records based upon the Connection with the database.
Create VIEW [ent].[vw_NetworkProfileTemplate]
AS
SELECT
*
FROM [ent].[tbl_NetworkProfileTemplate]
WHERE FK_TenantId= system_user
I see lot of advantages of using views in my applications
Many applications these days are created where we write inline queries and stored procedures also, so using views does not effect our development of Middle layer too much. Also these days we are using OR Mapper tools so this will be helpful in case of views but not in stored procedures approach.
Some of my company DBA’s told me that there is considerable performance hit and scalability issues when using Views, so use Stored procedures. I did some research on that and see the execution plan for the various queries like fetching the data from these tables using joins with other tables etc. but execution plan is exactly same.
My question is that the view which I have created above is slower or have scalability issues compared to using the stored procedures?
Please answer by looking by my View. This view is very simple and have only one where clause in it.

Since you have to execute the select statement somewhere, view is not a bad option at all. Basically it's only a stored version of the statement. If you compare the same query inside a view or stored procedure, there's no difference in execution. However, if stored procedure is created using cursors, the stored procedure will be much slower and inefficient.
If you build complex queries over the view, there may be problems for the optimizer to find a good plan. For example, so called predicate pushing may not always be possible. For this reason most of the logic in the statement should be put into the query in the view (if possible).
Another area you should consider is data modifications. Fetching the data through a view is a simple and efficient process, but how are the modifications done. Is the application executing delete, insert and update against the view or do DML statements use another path to the data. When using views there are lots of restrictions that cause the view not to be updatable anymore. For example, joining in view and deleting against the view. Should all the rows be deleted in joined tables or not. You can use INSTEAD OF triggers to overcome these limitations.
Hope this helps,
Mika

Thanks Mika.
Yes we can use Instead of Triggers where we face problems in delete/ update statements. But I got the idea from your answer that using views doesnot impact any performance as I have to issue the select statement either in Stored Procedure or View.

You can't. SQL server need exclusive access to it when it is running as a database.

Great minds think alike...

"select top 1 InvNo from table order by id DESC" -- ASSUMES ID IS AN IDENTIY FIELD, OPR AT LEAST THAT THE LAST RECORD HAS THE HIGHEST id
|
|
|
|
|
try this:
Select Max(idno) for last record and Min(idno).
