• SQL Server Lost tables and Stored Procedures after installing SP!

  I installed SQL 2005 SP1. After the installation I cannot display tables that were created with SQL2005. Tables that were created with SQL2000 still display. Updates to the SQL2000 tables do not display. The Stored Procedures that were created using SQL2005 do not display. This is true of the original .mdf file as well as backup files. I uninstalled SQL2005 and re-installed it. No change. The file size is the same as the backups so I think the data is there I just cannot display it. I am logged in on a local version as dbo. Any suggestions LitePipe, Not sure what's going on, but I'm going to move this thread to the Tools General fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Suspend All Transactions for a Split-Mirror Backup Strategy?

  We currently use a split-mirror backup strategy for our Sybase database, which has a "quiesce database" command to suspend all transactions. By quiescing the database before splitting the mirror, we suspend all transactions to ensure we get a stable backup of the environment. It works very well for us and I'm trying to understand how we could implement this with our SQL Server 2005 DB. (I'm aware of SQL Server mirroring and that there are other ways of possibly backing up the DB. In this post however, I'm only interested in how I would make the split-mirror strategy work if I wanted to pursue it. I'm trying to avoid paying for software that ...Show All

• Visual C++ "ocscpy" depricated. What replaced it?

  Trying to compile a .cpp file with this statement (the file was downloaded from an MSDN website for C++ Samples) ocscpy((*p_si1)->m_rgSymbol, p_si2->m_rgSymbol); I got an error message: Warning 2 warning C4996: 'ocscpy' was declared deprecated  I could not find ocscpy anywhere in MSDN. Any clues as to where to get a replacement   Thanks I believe you can use ocscpy_s instead of ocscpy. The strange thing is that I didn't find any help for ocscpy in msdn which is strange. I will contact the doc folks for that. Thanks,   Ayman Shoukry   VC++ Team ...Show All

• Visual Studio Console App blows up when I try to publish it. (GenerateApplicationManifest path too long)

I have another app which is a VSTO app, which after much effort works fine. I compared my config files and they virtually identical, so why am I getting the messages on 1 and not the other.
