• SQL Server Can't Access Cube Templates

  Hello, I appreciate this is probably a noddy question but I can't find the answer in any of the normal resources. I'm working through Brian Larsons Business Intelligence with SQL Server 2005. Chapter 6 requires me to set up a Cube from a Template. I've chosen the Cube Wizard from the Project Explorer and then clicked next on the welcome page. Problem is when I select the second radio button (the option that indicates that the source is not a data mart) the chose template checkbox that activates the template drop-down is disabled. This obviously means I can't chose the template I need. I've continued with the book anyway ...Show All

• Visual C# Design Question

  Pretty new to C# and Im rewriting a VB6 app that contains many features that should force the ol learning curve. I have hundreds of images that are saved with a filename, such as: temp1.jpg temp2.jpg....etc. The full path will have to be added later, probably to a list or Arraylist...in numerical order. As I recall I had to jump thru hoops to do this sorting with VB. temp1.jpg temp101.jpg temp2.jpg temp211.jpg....etc. What is my best bet now I can name the files anything. I just need to load them later numerically as fast as possible. Sorry, I didn't save the thread. That quote was basically the only thing worth gleaning. Looks li ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem populating temp table from linked server.

  Hello, I have a 2000 sql server linked to a 2005 sql server an I am trying to return data across the link.

• Visual Basic How to make subroutine calls from one form to another non-blocking?

  Not sure if this is possible, but I have 2 forms, F1, and F2.  I would like F1 to make a subroutine call to F2 and while F2 subroutine is running, i would like F1 to continue to execute it's code.  My understaning is that VB is single-threaded but i thought i had read somewhere that this is possible to do this. Any help would be appreciated. thanks bc Even calls to a control will typically be single-threaded, i.e. the call will block. Threading in VB6 is mostly done with non-UI DLLs on the server side. If you really want to do threading with a Windows Forms client app, you really should consider us ...Show All

• SQL Server Is SSIS slower than DTS????!!!!!!

  I am new to SSIS and probably doing some mistake while transferring data from oracle source to oracle destination.   Please guide me..   In our project we need to transfer nearly 80 GB data from old system (Oracle 9i) to new system (Oracle 10 G Release 2).
