Getting data from SQL Server on a different server

Before I dive into this, I want to make sure it's possible
and relatively painless :)
My Flex web app is hosted on one server (call it server01)
which is the web server, and I have a SQL Server 2000 database on
another server (server05), which is not a web server. In the Flex
app, I'd like to populate a ComboBox using data from a table in SQL
Server. Is this possible even though they are on different servers
and server05 doesn't has web access? Thanks.

I'm not using anything as of yet to accomplish this. It seems
that using web services is the recommended method. Could you
provide any information on setting up a web service, or resources?
Thanks.

Getting data from SQL database

Hi
I am stil trying to get some basic information stored in a database table on my SQL Server.
I can do this by embedding an Applescript do carry out the shell command 'curl' as below:
myFullScriptString = "do shell script \"curl -0 localhost/asset.php?asset_id="+assetID+"\"";
myForceError = app.doScript(myFullScriptString, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);
return(myForceError);
but I dont want to be limited to OSX.
Is there a way this can be put into a native socket comment using a structure as below?
reply = "";
conn = new Socket();
conn.open("192.168.91.184:8888");
conn.write(" GET /myfile.php?" + variousVariable + " HTTP/1.0\n\n");
reply = conn.read(999999);
conn.close;
Cheers
Roy

Sigh...
I'm sorry, Roy, I really thought that the example in the JS Tools Guide told you how to seperate the actual response from the server's headers. But it doesn't!
Anyhow, RFC2616 tells us:
6 Response
   After receiving and interpreting a request message, a server responds
   with an HTTP response message.
       Response      = Status-Line               ; Section 6.1
                       *(( general-header        ; Section 4.5
                        | response-header        ; Section 6.2
                        | entity-header ) CRLF) ; Section 7.1
                       CRLF
                       [ message-body ]          ; Section 7.2
So, that means the message body is seperated by two CRLF pairs. Except that because of API magic each CRLF turns into a single \n. So you want to look for \n\n.
So, you should be able to seperate it like this:
body = reply.substr(reply.indexOf("\n\n")+2);

Retreive External data from SQL making connection to SQL server take a long time

I have an Excel pivottable based on a view from SQL server. The view gets data from 2 databases on the sames server. I have the sames login for both databases and also the same rights (datareader, datawriter and owner). When running the view from within
the SQL Server management tool it goes quick. In Excel once the connection is made everything goes fast. Only making the connection takes a very long time. When I use a view with data from a single database then everything is fine and goes fast.
Example of the situation: I use the example view below in an excel pivot. This gives as result that the connection takes very long.
SQLServer A
View CustomerInfo which contains the following query.
Select * FROM databaseA.dbo.Customers as Customers
CROSS APPLY
SELECT *
FROM databaseB.dbo.Contacts as Contacts
Where Customers.Number = Contacts.CustomerNumber
) AS Contactdata
When I remove the CROSS APPLY part, the connection is made directly
We login to SQL with normal logon (not windows security) The user has the same rights on both databases.
I hope the problem is clear. Does anyone have an idea of how I can solve this problem?

-1* ( prior dataid ) = parentid
is it multiplying -1 times the prior dataid ?that's exactly what it's doing
you need:
prior dataid = ABS(parentid);
not knowing you're data, and therefore assuming that dataid is always positive (since it doesn't have an ABS), and that parentid can be positive or negative, your criteria becomes
parentid = prior dataid (handles both are positive)
or parentid = negative of prior dataid (handles parentid is neg, dataid is pos)
since the "prior" must be right next to the column (dataid), I put parens around the whole thing, and then mult by -1

How BW get data from MS SQL server DB?

I got infomation about this from help.com, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm.
this web told me, when BW application server must be Win NT.BW can get data from MS SQL server DB.
but our BW application server was AIX.
Did you know other solution to this?

Hi,
you need to use the DBConnect or in BI7.0 the UDConnect features.

Get data from Sharepoint site in different farm using webservice, and current site using claims mode authentication.

Hi ,
I have a site that runs on Claims Mode ( NTLM) . That site has a web part that needs to show the data from any sharepoint farm, SharePoitn 2010 , or 2007 or 2003.
I am getting 401 unauthorized when I try to get data from webservice running in sharePoint context.
But when I run the same code in Windows Console application then it is giving no error.
What I doubt is that this issue is due to the reason that I have set
claims mode authentication.
Because same code is running in different farm in a site that is configured using windows authentication.

So generally speaking, you're talking about a VERY long running topic of authentication methods... and generally speaking, in the world of Windows, the only long running authentication options have been:
- NTLM (limited to one hop)
- Kerberos (unlimited hops)
- Application level authentication (ex: SQL auth, also, no hops)
Recently, Microsoft has been investing in Claims Based Auth... and I fully expect claims to start working their way into other systems (previously starting to work into Windows via the CardSpace technology, but also in other ways such as Win8's ability to
log in with a LiveID)... but building a new authentication method into ALL applications is a VERY long process, and the complexity of claims adds a LOT of consideration (claims from the same AD can look VERY different depending on the STS, so lots of questions
around things like bridging claims).
So as far your SP auth needs...
IF both applications are CLAIMS AWARE, then you MAY be able to use claims (which support unlimited hops)... but that's just not very likely yet (and will probably take another 5-10 years to be available across the entire enterprise)... otherwise, KERBEROS
Outside of the Microsoft world... KERBEROS is open spec, so is supported by other systems (such as authenticating to linux)... claims based auth is also open spec, but again, still new... there are a few other options (LDAP, etc), but none that are native
to Windows (so you rely on things like third party auth modules for Windows, which Novell has done for DECADES with NDS and eDir)
And again, SharePoint can convert claims to Kerberos using the C2WTS... which MS uses internally for things Excel Services connecting to a backend SQL server... but it DOES require the Kerb and C2WTS configuration.
if you're having issues using Kerb auth... then it sounds like Kerb isn't configured correctly... and Kerb is a PAIN to configure (whitepaper for SP Kerb is ~100 pages long)... IIS (and SharePoint) also has the added benefit of failing over to NTLM if Kerb
fails (and you shouldn't disable this behavior, since it'll break other settings elsewhere)

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

Error while reversing data from SQL Server to ODI

hi,
I was reversing data from SQL Server Java 1.6_022 in ODI Java 1.5, I was getting error Version Mismatch and I updated ODI Java version to 1.6_022.
And now, I am getting the below error while reversing the data from SQL Server database.
0 : 08001 : java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Looking for the assistance on the same.
Thanks,
Abhay

If everything is fine the reversing should be fine. I would say check again if the Technology of the Model and the also the dataserver is created under the right Technology in topology too.
also if this doesn't help , Please tell us the steps you have carried so far . Also can you try selective reverse is it showing the tables.

Single query to get data from different databases

i need to capture certain fields from certain tables in database 1 and certain fields from certain tables in database 2 into one file using a single SQL statement.
i tried searching on the net
i found that dblinks can help
but iam not sure if ill be able to create dblinks in my situation which is:
i need to get data from oracle to be copied to mysql
this is not a replication acitivity, but i need certain fields from one database and certain from the other
so what iwas thinking is, if i use an sql query to get all the fields (i need around 40) from the different oracle databases and create a singlefile with one insert per select, i can then read that file into mysql
instead of creating multiple sql queries for each table and creating separate files and eventually separate tables in mysql.
can anyone help me here?
or maybe suggest another approach.
thanks

Hi,
I think dblink is the only option available to get data from different databases. It will work for your case too.
CREATE DATABASE LINK db_link CONNECT TO user_name IDENTIFIED BY password USING 'instance_name'you must have the system privilege 'create database link' to create db links. This way you can get the required data and put it in a table in oracle. But i dont know how to put this data from oracle table to Mysql.

Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

Dear Friends
Scenario:
We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and regards
Bharath Kumar V

Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?

Import data from SQL Server to Oracle

I have created a dblink in oracle to access the SQL database. I am able to run queries through the dblink and it works fine. I have created a test table on Oracle Server to import the data. The field named "description" has CLOB data type. The corresponding datatype on SQL Server is varchar(7000).
When I insert the data from SQL Server, it completes successfully without any error but it truncates the data on CLOB field.
If I run the select query in SQLPlus I can see the entire description.
Select "description" from sql_view@dblink;
-- the above works fine.
CREATE table test
(description CLOB);
INSERT INTO TEST
Select "description" from sql_view@dblink;
-- this works but it truncates the data after 256 characters
My question is, how to get the data from SQL Server without truncating characters.
Thanks in advance,
Gopal

I hear the same from other friend that sql server truncated the leading zeros from the id column.
I really don't have a solution for this but you can try the work around. Export the data to flat file and upload in oracle using SQL loader, as this would be much faster and efficient.

Best way to push change data from sql server to windows/web application

i apologized that i do not know should i ask this question in this forum or not.
i have win apps which will load all data initially from db and display through grid but from the next time when any data will change in db or any data will be inserted newly in db then only change or newly inserted data need to be pushed from db side to
my win apps. now only sql dependency class is coming to my mind but there is a problem regarding sql dependency class that it notify client but do not say which data is updated or inserted.
so i am looking for best guidance and easy way to achieve my task. what will be the best way to push data from sql server to win or web client.
there is two issue
1) how to determine data change or data insert. i guess that can be handle by trigger
2) next tough part is how very easily push those data from sql server end to win apps end.
so looking for expert guide. thanks

Hello,
Yes, you can create DML trigger on INSERT and UPDATE to get the changed data into a temp table. And then query the temp table from application.
If you are use SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can also try to use
Change data capture, which
can track insert, update, and delete activity that is applied to a SQL Server table and store the changed values on the Change Table.

Importing data from SQL Server

I'm relatively new to Oracle, and my question is about importing data. I have an SQL 2000 server and I export a database using Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. The process finished OK but when I tried to query the tables qith SQL Plus Worksheet, I get a message saying:
select * from rwp_purge
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
but the table is there. I can see it using DBA Studio. So, what is happening? Do I have to commit transactions after importing data from SQL Server? Do I have to rebuild statistics?
thanks in advance,
Gonzalo Pellegrini

Was the table created in the schema you are loggin as when trying to access the table? If not, you will have to grant access to the table logged in as the table owner.
