• SQL Server Log Files getting TOOO big with Nightly Restore Database, Need help.

  Hi, I have a website that displays customer data inside an SQL (Version 8) database. Everynight I download the latest version of their back office database (another SQL database) and restore it as a temp DB. Then I selectively copy the tables I want, overwriting last nights version of the data. My problem is that my log file grows really big and really fast.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using DirectShow to 1) count frames 2) Grab a frame by index, not the time

  Hi, I am writing an app that will extract information about movies. It should be able to get the ***exact*** number of frames in a movie and also it should extract a frame ***with a given index*** and store it as a thumbnail. I'm pretty new to DirectShow, just went through that GrabBitmaps sample project. It's neat and all, but IMediaSeeking accesses frames through time, which is just not quite what I need. IVideoFrameStep::Step looks great except that it works no faster than simply playing the movie (according to the docs, haven't tried it myself). 8 - ( Well, that's my situation. HEEEELPP!!! 8 - D Well I figured a few things ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database question

  Hello, I have just started using Visual Basic Express 2005, and I am trying to make an application for my wife to use in her work as a teacher. I previously made it using a bunch of asp-pages on a local IIS server on our computer, but I got frustrated with the whole set-up and decided to make a windows application. Anyway. My question is related to getting data from the database. I have managed to bind one table to a listbox on the form, and I am trying to parse the selected name to do a new sql query. In the query-designer I can't find any information nor did a search help. Sorry if this has been covered before, I just can't seem to find a ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you create Users?

  This is for Reporting Services 2000. I'm going round in circles in the Book Online, web sites etc trying to find this out. There is a great deal of information about how to create role assignments and define what each role can do, but I can find nothing about how to define WHO belongs to each role. I have had to make all folders accessable to the Everyone role so they can get in, but I want to give some people access to some folders and other people access to others. I see anybody who has visited my server appears in the ReportServer.Users table with their NT login information. Thanks Bruce ...Show All
