• SQL Server Recovering SQL 2000 Database without the Log File not in clean disconnected state

  We just had a hard drive crash here. We were able to copy off the .mdf file from SQL server 2000 from the drive, but not the .ldf (which was only 720k anyhow). When I try to attach the mdf to an SQL Server 2000 or 2005 server I get an error saying that the log file doesn't exist. Does anyone know a way to attach this not-cleanly-closed database file and recover the data (apparently the person decided that they need-not backup their databas ...Show All

• SQL Server Move stored procs from 2000 to 2005

  It's easy to move the tables, but how do you transfer stored procs and triggers A few ways you can do this. If you want to move a whole database, you can either backup the database from SQL 2000 and restore to 2005, or detach\reattach. If you want to be more selective, you can use SQL Enterprise Manager on 2000 to script out the specific stored procedures\triggers to a script file, then execute the script on SQ ...Show All

• SQL Server Why so big (terrible) performance difference between SQL 2000 and 2005

  We test simple procedure to update bigger number of records (400000) and we found on same HW so low performace using SQL 2005 (developer version), that it becomes unusable. On SQL 2000 it takes about 7 minutes, and on 2005 we do not get results in 10 hours!!! The procedure just makes data selection (it takes on both servers up to 1 minute) and than it updates rows in other table. Primary key of updated table is exact as is update condition, upda ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Report: problem with database logon popup

  Hi. I am developing an application in c# .net, using Crystal Reports. The report uses two tables, from two different (sql) databases, on two different servers. I have added the two tables to the report using the nice Crystal Reports GUI, entering server name and password and all. Still, when running the application, and generating (and showing) the report, the user is prompted for user name and password for the databases. I tried to solve this ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Notification / SQLDependency fails on table w/ computed column

  I have a table with a computed column defined on it. I can't get SQLDependency to work with that table unless I remove the computed column definition. The select statement I am using does not include the computed column, it just exists on the table.

• Windows Forms Possible solution...

  I have a problem with a printer, a Zebra S4M label printer . The thing about this printer is that it can print labels from all windows applications, and this is the reason why I bought this printer. But it doesn’t print from my C# program, it’s like it doesn’t recognise the data being sent to it. I thought, that if it could print from any windows application it would be easy to do a printDocument.Print(). All the printer does is queue the prin ...Show All
