SQL Server & ODBC with C Language

Hi,
I find that when doing bulk operations (like bulk update, delete, insert etc.) ODBC routines mimick the operation by iterating thru the array of data given in the program, since SQL Server does not have bulk operation facilities. I am worried about the performance,
if it goes for a single record processing.
Right now I am using C & ODBC for SQL Server. Is there any other better approach to speed up the process and accomplish what I want. There are about 200+ programs that do tremendous bulk data operations.
If C & ODBC is Not the right thing, then can you advise me on what would be the best tool to do that. Somebody I knew suggested that using SSIS instead of C-ODBC would improve performance. Someone Advise on the right approach please.
Thanks in advance people.
Regards
Yogesh B.

Are you talking about the
BULK INSERT and
MERGE in SQL Server?

Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
Thank you

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux problem

Hello! I've RedHat Linux 6 Update 1 x64 on VMware Player and MS SQL Server on real machine. My application "servernew" on RedHat. All right, but when i try connect my SQL Server:
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof(buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:

MS SQL Server ODBC Connection On Linux

Hi All,
I am badly stuck with configuration of MS SQL Server ODBC connection on SUSE Linux 10. I am almost tried everything I got from SAP notes but still getting ODBC Lib Data Direct drivers could not be loaded IES 10901.
ENV: SAP BO 4.0 SP7, MS SQL SRV 2008
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Modified env.sh under /install_dir/sap_bobj/setup and added the line in bold.
":${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib"
The line should look like this
LIBRARYPATH="$LIBDIR:$LIBDIR32:$WCSCOMPONENTDIR:$PLUGINDIST/auth/secEnterprise:${CRPEPATH64}:${CRPEPATH}:${MWHOME}:$PLUGINDIST/desktop/CrystalEnterprise.Report:
${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/ras:${BOBJEDIR}mysql/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib”
2) We have .odbc.ini file in the home directory of our BO user on linux. Added following DSN entry (Same DSN is created on client and odbc connection has been created on the universe using this DSN:
boeadm01:~> vi .odbc.ini
[DSN_NAME]
Driver=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so
Description=DataDirect 6.0 SQL Server Native Wire Protocol
HostName=SQL Server Hostname
Database=SQL DB Name
QuotedId=Yes
AnsiNPW=No
3) We then added the environment variables and LIBPATH in BO user .profile file.
boeadm01:~> vi .profile
#Sql Server Environment
ODBCINI=$HOME/.odbc.ini
export ODBCINI
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4) Did echo to check the LIBPATH
boeadm01:~> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
5) Modified sqlsrv.sbo under /install_dir/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/odbc
<Parameter Name="Use DataDirect OEM Driver" Platform="Unix">Yes</Parameter>
6) Restarted BO node.
Tried creating a new webi report and got the error mentioned above.
Please help!!!

SQL server 2000 with Java Problems

Dear Sir.
I am a new user for SQL server 2000 with java. Nevertheless, I developed an application for store images and text data into SQL 2000 database using java. Presently my system is running 12-client computer with one server computer, I installed SQL server 2000 into server then I access (save, insert, select, and get report) through ODBC diver to server using java application, system is ok but some time the server computer is getting struck.
Please let me know if there is a solution to overcome this problem.
My client computer configuration
Windows xp
1.8 MHz CPU � 512 � 768 RAM
My Server computer configuration
3.0 Dual core Intel - 1 GB RAM
Window 2000 server

but some time the server computer is getting struck.Can you measure which application is eating up the resources? Anyway, the hardware sounds OK for that number of clients, but of course it depends on the intensity they work with.
The suspicious part is the ODBC driver. Is there a reason not to use the JDBC driver for SQL server provided by microsoft? I guess it will speed things up.

I need to syncronize MS SQL Server 2000 with Oracle DB

Hello
I need to syncronize MS SQL Server 2000 with Oracle Database. I have created both DB connections succesfully.
1. Oracle DB: Oracle (JDBC)
2. SQL Server JDBC-ODBC (bridge)
When i create a partner link and select a DB Adapter i try to query SQL Server but it never brings the tables back to me.
I´ve tried to configure connection 2 (MSSQL) using thrid party but i really don´t know how.
Driver Class??
Library?
Library Name??
Location??
Class Path?
Source Path??
Doc Path??
URL??
help is appreciated. Thank you.
F.

Here is my setup:
Driver Class: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Library: SQLSERVER
ClassPath: Depends on where your jar file is.
URL: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your ip address or DNS name goes here.
The above is how my database connection is defined.
When I create a partner link and it gets to the screen where it imports tables it takes a while for the "Querying Database Ojects..." to finish. When it does I have not tables. I then select <all schemas> AGAIN and this time I get the tables.
If you get succeed when you do a test on the connection then I assume the connection is setup right. Perhaps the problem is like mine above and you have to select <all schemas> a second time.

Difference between database features - SQL Server 2008 R2 navtive vs SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 compatibility set?

I am investigating the impact of upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. To reduce the impact of the upgrade, I am planning to restore / create our application database onto SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 (SQL Server 2008 and
SQL Server 2008 R2).
Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?

Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?
Yes there can be difference and impact there are few features deprecated in SQL Server 2012 you must be aware about that. Please see
Deprecated Database Features in SQL Server 2012
Deprecated SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
After you migrate database to 2012 please don't move ahead with production unless you have tested your application to new created database

SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 8.1 Pro

Can I install "out-of-the-box" SQL Server 2012 with Service Pack 1 Enterprise Edition or SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my Windows 8.1 VM?
Thanks.

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 SP1 is fully supported by Windows 8.1, and there is no need to install any SQL update for the installation.
Enterprise Edition is not supported on client operating systems like Windows 8.1 but setup won’t prevent you from installing.
Developer Edition is fully supported on client operating systems.
Hope this helps.

How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

Dear Folks,
I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

Try below
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx
I will recommend you to upgrade SQL server to newer version for support as well as flexibility.

Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

Hi,
I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get
Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

Shay or other knowledgeable folks,
Is there a way to utilize the wizard for "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables" for SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008. I can successfully execute sql via java programmatically or import a table from SQL Server with "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Object" wizard, but the Business Components from Tables simply doesn't see any tables under any schema. Without the "Business Components from Tables", i don't get the referential constraints imported into the application and to code all those from scratch is just not as elegant. So far i have only utilized the sql server jdbc driver from Microsoft (versions, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0). Is there an alternative client that i need to use to enable selecting tables from that "Business Components from Tables" wizard. Is this a limitation of SQL Server, the jdbc driver or the wizard itself? Did anybody else experience the same issues? I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 against SQL Server 2005 (currently)
Thanks,

Connect a Microsoft SQL Server Database with eclipse

Hi all,
I am having problem to connect a Microsoft SQL Server Database with eclipse. Is it possible to do it? And could someone explain me how, please? When I want to create a connection from the data source explorer, I have in the list of connection only derby and jdbc. Is anything else that I have to download?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Just choose generic JDBC and locate/specify the driver yourself. Exactly the same as you would use when you wrote JDBC code yourself.
