• SQL Server Rebuilding dimensions with huge fact tables

  Hi, I have a dimension which is used in two Measure Groups. It has many levels (let's say 10). One fact table handles level 1-8, the other 8-10. The facts are huge, about 2 billion records for the first table (for level 1-8) and 100 million records for 8-10. We discussed a fitting partitioning schema and this will not be the big issue. Our problem is, that in the last levels (9-10) members can move from one parent to another. That means that the dimension structure changes, it has to be updated which also means a reprocession of all partitions related to this dimension. This is really a problem because of the first fact ta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office What action can change .dot file

  Hi, We've developed VSTO 2005 Word Application, which uses our own template file(xyz.dot). However, when users close the document, they get prompted for save of normal.dot file - WHICH we don't use in our application. This happens only for few users. (If they open normal word doc, there is no prompt). This is the sequence of events which happen in Doc_Load - Create custom toobar dynamically - Enable/Disable menu items , based on few rules - Attach our application's template ( xyz.dot) - Attach an XML Schema Activities during doc edit session, would be one of the above only. No additional steps being done. My Question ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 WebService problem

  Hi hi. I'm trying to use the new WebServices in VSS2005. After fiddling around, reading through the forums and doing some more fiddling I've just given up. The problem is authentication. I can open the share from my computer, open the project from the share (with the non-internet version of the VSS plugin) and open the webservice url from my computer. I've tried doing SSL, but the result is the same.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB + SQL server vs Access
