Running through 2 million records on a SQL client kind of defeats the purpose of a SQL Server. I would let the SQL Server handle the task by one of these two methods:
1) Use a stored procedure that implements your business rules.
OR
2) Code an Update statement that implements your business rules.

I agree with Michael.
In this case, it is better if you use a Stored Procedure or an Update statement that has all the conditions (business rules) specified in it.

Thanks for the replies folks. But there's a good reason why I need to do this on the application side. The rules are fairly complex and involve a lot of calculations so implementing them in stored procs or sql statements is out of the question.
And I do need to process every record. Here's a couple of ways I am thinking of doing it:
1. Pull in x number records at a time based off a key field and process and update them before moving on to the next x number of records.
2. The other way is to use a datareader for running through the table and batch the SQL update commands somehow so that after X number of commands it executes them.
I've been told option #1 would likely be less efficient than #2 because of the overhead with creating and using DataSets and the fact that DataSets use Datareader internally anyway which would likely just be equivalent to option #2.
Any thoughts? Any better way to go about doing this?

I am using SQL server to handle my session variables. However every time I reboot the server the permission to call the SELECT queries get reset and I have to manual set them again.
To create the SQL Session server I used the script InstallSqlState.sql, should I have used InstallPersistSqlState.sql?
Thanks,

Well I figured it out, the answer is to write a procedure that goes off to set the permissions. Just have this code run by the SQL agent
use tempdb
Declare @userName char(100)
Declare @DatabaseUserID [smallint]
--internal sql user name or domain\username
Set @userName = 'InternalUser'
select @DatabaseUserID = [sysusers].[uid] from sysusers where name = @userName
IF @DatabaseUserID IS NULL
BEGIN
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess @userName
EXEC [sp_addrolemember]
@rolename = 'db_datareader',
@membername = @userName
EXEC [sp_addrolemember]
@rolename = 'db_datawriter',
@membername = @userName
END

I can help you with concatenation of text strings. See next page of the phorum "ntext concatenation". If you need more explanations or examples I'll send it on demand.
My best regards

You could attempt to parse the file line by line, and add to a VARCHAR field in the DB...

If you use .net framework , store it in a config file of your application so you can change it without recompiling it or store it in a file which you can change it easily , you can also force user to enter his/her username/password. Another way is to use windows authentication for you sql , so no username/password required in connection string.

Hi,
Please help me...
I ve 2 tables like one is 'emp' & other is copy of 'empc'
Wht i want...whenever i update the emp table the old contents should be moved to the empc table & the new should be overwritten in the emp table...
& i want all this should be done through a trigger...may be on update... but...this will overwrite the contains of emp...so wht should i do....
Thanks

hi
you need something like this :
create trigger empCopyTrig on emp
for Update
as
insert into empc Select * from deleted
Go
try it..Waiting for feedback 
|
|
|
|
|
When using triggers to update a table, the rows which will be affected by the update statement will be available in 'deleted' table and records with updated changes will be available in 'inserted' table. These two tables are available only during trigger execution and not outside the scope of a trigger.

Hi,
Let's face it, I don't understand how I can do the following. Let's explain a little :
* I have an online database (in fact mysql). I access this base through ByteFX's MySQLDataAdapter.
* I have an application which can read data from it but also can modify them WITHOUT necessary doing a fill (updating the database back). In fact, this application could be closed without having done the updates, inserts, etc.
* I do not have issues like online datas beeing changed or multi-people acceding the datas. Only this application is responsible of the database.
What I want is when the application is launched again, the "not updated yet" part of the datas are still there. So I need to cache them in some file.
What is the best approach to do that ?
Thanks

Hi,
If there is a problem of data which is not updated in database are still there in application.
You can go for cache the web page using the output caching for specifying some duration of time.
<%@ outputcache=5%> --> this take 5 minutes duration of time.after that i getting the refreshed data to display on the page.
i think this may work for you.. instead of cache in files.

If you use .net see this article. You can do it with WMI:

Hello All,
I have 2 SQL2000 DBs on the same server, in DB#1 I have a stored procedure from which I need to get a field from a table that exists in DB#2.
Any Ideas,
Thanks in advance

Syntax is: [ServerName].[DatabaseName].[Owner].[TableName].[FieldName]
So in your Stored Proc your request might look like:
SELECT myField
FROM myServer.myDatabase.dbo.myTable
WHERE myField = 'some value'
ServerName can be an ip address, or if it is on the same server - just a different database - you can omit ServerName altogether.
Owner is usually 'dbo' -- otherwise substitute the table's owner

Quick Question:
I have a number of SQL/MSDE databases on the local company server.
Each database uses identical stored procedures for quick updates to their record items.
Can I use just one copy of the stored procedure for use by all the databases, instead of duplicate in each one? If yes, does this have to go in the master database. How would you distinguish the active database (perhaps using Using dbo.???)?
I Dream of Absolute Zero

You must to inform the database by parameter....
I worked in a proyect where each database had the data of an specific mounth and Year.
To solve that we had a central DB with the stored procedures and a set of parameters, for example, the name of the last DB, and the name of the previous DBs, etc....
Regards....

try adding the new stored procedures to the model database
all new databases are a copy of the model database so they will contain the stored procedures you created.
|
|
|
|
|
True, but if one of the stored procedures needs to be updated, it will then have to be applied to all databases.
