Using SQL Server instead of OLite

Has anyone had any luck with this? I am really not too familiar with the Oracle setup and due to experience, feel much more comfortable using SQL Server.
I read this thread where it talks about using other databases instead of Oracle Lite, but I can't seem to get it to work for SQL Server.
How to use a non-Oracle database?
I can get the ddl file to install and configure for SQL, but I'm having problems getting the JDBC connections to work in the data-sources.xml config file. Can anyone PLEASE... help me here? I've been screwing with this for a few hours, and haven't had much luck and I'm getting really frustrated. I downloaded the DataDirect JDBC drivers, but I'm not sure what I need to do with them in order to get this to work.
Thanks,
TC

Hi TC,
I circled back with the team. The only set of drivers that we currently support for Microsoft SQL Server are the DataDirect drivers. You should be able to download evaluation versions from their web site and their configuration doc do a good job of describing the configuration string you will need to use to set up the data source.
Let us know if it does not work as advertized.
I hope this helps.

Using SQL server instead of Olite in Oracle BPEL

I am now trying to use SQL 2000 server instead of Olite in Oracle BPEL. I couldn't find any instruction or admin config guide. Has anyone had any luck with this?
If anyone has any experience, please shed some light on this.
I am now able to get "domain_sqlserver" dll file populated into SQL server.
How di i configure BPEL to use SQL db instead of Olite? Do i need to set up database connections to work?
Thank you very much in advance.

Edwin,
Thank you so much for the info.
I have emailed to [email protected] for the question.
Up to now, i have done the followings:
1. I have successfully populated domain_sqlserver ito SQL 2000 with some modification.
2. I have also configured data-sources.xml under ..\integration\orabel\system\services\install\config and unser ..\integration\orabel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\config to use MSFT SQL 2000 instead of Olite.
3. I have also commented out running kill_Olite.bat and start_olite.bat, and start SQL 2000 server.
4. Installed Data Direct JDBC driver
Could you please kindly point me what are the rest of configuration required in order to make it work?
Thank you so much.

Using SQL Server instead of Essbase

<p>Does anyone else use SQL server with HFM? I know Essbaseis the standard but the company I currently work for uses SQLserver and there is little information for users who are not usingEssbase. I know we are not the only ones and I'd like todiscuss things that only seem to apply to nonEssbase users.</p>

Cannot protect SharePoint farm that uses SQL server IP address instead of hostname?

Hello, I am trying to configure DPM 2012 R2 protection for a SharePoint 2013 farm. The DPM agent was installed on the WFE and SQL server and they are reporting a "OK" status from the DPM console. ConfigureSharePoint.exe -EnableSharePointProtection
was also ran on the WFE. When I try to set up my protection group and expand the WFE server I get the following error:
"DPM cannot protect some of your datasources until you install agents on the following servers : 10.1.1.12. (ID: 956)"
That IP address is the SharePoint SQL server IP address. For whatever reason the person who installed this SharePoint farm configured it with the IP address of the SQL server instead of a DNS name.
I know the DPM agent is working properly on both servers because I can enumerate their volumes and databases. I'm certain this error is due to SharePoint using an IP address for the SQL server instead of a DNS name or alias. Is there a workaround for this?

The fix for this may be to add SQL server client on the frontend and then add aliases for 32 and 64bit to the backend sql servers.

I used the Evaluate function that I used in Cube (ESSBASE) where it worked OK.
I created a logical column "Sort Order" and used the following expression:
EVALUATE('Rank( %1.dimension.currentmember,%2.members)' AS INTEGER , "MIC"."MIC_DL"."dbo"."DM_DATE"."CAL_MONTH", "MIC"."MIC_DL"."dbo"."DM_DATE"."CAL_MONTH")
Then I set the the Sort Order column with the CAL_MONTH column.
But this is giving me the following error when retrieving thru presentation layer

Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
backup databases.
Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

Can StreamInsight be configured to use SQL Server for resiliency?

Is it possible to use StreamInsight with SQL Server instead of CE as the metadata store? This is so that it can be supported the same way as all our other application databases (e.g. for backup, permissions, audit, disaster recovery, etc).

No, at this time it cannot be. SQL CE - and, in particular, CE 3.5 SP3(? - the one that ships with StreamInsight) - is your only option.

How to disable the archive logs in SAP IDES(Windows) using SQL Server

can any body tell us How to disable the archive logs in SAP IDES(Windows 2003) using SQL Server 2000.SP4.?

Hi,
Unfortunately, SQL Server does not have the option to turn off transaction logging. You can set the recovery mode to SIMPLE, instead of FULL. This will result in the transaction log being truncated on checkpoint.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873235 - check this microsoft article
This will help in reduction of the size of the transcation log.

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:
ALTER ENDPOINT [TSQL Default TCP]
STATE=STARTED;

Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

Hi,
I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2 time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
Thanks,
Viji

You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum. I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there. When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing). Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things. Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.

From SharePoint Content Database, Using SQL-Server Query how to fetch the 'Document GUID' based on 'Content Type'

I want to get all the documents based on content type using SQL Server Query. I know that, querying the content database without using API is not advisable, but still i want to perform this action through SQL Server Query. Can someone assist ?

You're right, it's not advisable, may result in corruption of your databases and might impact performance and stability. But assuming you're happy to do that then it is possible.
Before you go down that route, have you considered using something more safe like PowerShell? I've seen a script exactly like the one you describe and it would take far less time to do it through PS than it would through SQL.
