[Sorry - I misread your question]
You could add triggers to each of the tables and from there put the information you want to audit into some other tables. Your audit application can then query those tables.

Hi,
I am trying to connect SQL Server 2000 thru coding in VB.NET. Code is :-
Public objsqlcon As New SqlConnection
Public Function OpenConnection() As Boolean
Try
If objsqlcon.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
objsqlcon = New SqlConnection("DATA SOURCE=A;Initial Catalog=Data1;USER ID=sa;PASSWORD=password;")
objsqlcon.Open()
End If
OpenConnection = True
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Function
where A means alias of Server, data1 is databasename.
Is it the right code, if yes, its not working and what can be the problem, If no, what is the right code.
Note :- This code is working at my office and not at my home. whats the difference in this case.
Thanks. Waiting for a prompt & right reply.

I assume by this you mean that in the actual environment you replace A with the name of the SQL Server instance?

You are on a different network? If I connect to my office through my company's VPN I have to specify the full name of the SQL Server as servername.companyname.co.uk
rahsi wrote: USER ID=sa; PASSWORD=password
If you wrote that where I work the code would NOT pass a coding review. Connecting as sa is highly dangerous and exposes your SQL Server to unnecessary risks.

Any one have this issue?
I'm developing a data entry application in SQL Server/VB.Net 2005.
I noticed that when I load in data onto my form it takes a very long time to load, I'm only talking about 91K records.
I'm loading my data into a form, I have the required table adapter, dataset,
bindingsource and bindingnavigator.
Is this normal or is it inherit in Sql Server & or Vb.net?
I also notice that for changes to be propageted to the db, the user must move to the next record for the changes to be recognized.
Is there a way to update automatically?
Any help appreciated.
Mike

Don't pull 91K rows across from the database to your application. It is inefficient.
Do you desperately need all 91K rows on the client at once? Are you processing all 91K rows at the same time in your client?
MikeUPMC wrote: Is this normal or is it inherit in Sql Server & or Vb.net?
Neither. I would suggest it is the .NET Framework - DataGrids and the like really are not designed to handly 91K rows all at once. It will accept it, and your application will guzzle the memory it needs to support it, but it really is a bad idea.
When you make a request like that through the DataAdapter the call will complete only when all 91K rows have been pulled out of SQL Server, across the network (how much bandwidth is all this data taking?) and into your client application.

I need all records to load, users will be adding/deleting modifying to the table based on records already entered.
The app I'm designing is replacing one developed in Access.
In Access, the form loads quickly (only waiting for the record count).
All needed functions are within the database like search & replace on
a filtered dataset. Queries to Insert records into the table, and copy the table to another table for exporting.
I'm trying to mirror the functionality of the current system to that of Sql Server/VB.Net & I'm running into issues i.e. time, speed, search & replace function within a datagrid. This conversion might be more involved than I originally thought. I have the functions for the above insert/copy, and they complete, but updating the dataset is time consuming.

That is because it didn't load all the data at once. It loaded what was on screen plus some rows before and after the current position. It would then dynamically get more rows as required in such a way that the user would be unaware.
ADO.NET 2.0 does provide some asynchronous access methods so that you can access information in the background however I have not used them so I cannot tell you how effective they would be, or how much extra complexity they would add to your appliation.

2 val2 x
3 val3 x
.. ... ...
.. ... ...
...... Next 100 000 rows
I want to change values in field Value2 to value from field Value1 how to do this things....
When I using this code*, It's takes me more than 2 minutes... but it is too much, What if I will use database with milion rows??? Is it possible....
.NET is only problem and problem
When I used VB 6 with DAO it's takes me only 5 sec.
How to do this thing? please help
*Code is here
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)<br />
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT ID FROM Main", con)<br />
<br />
con.Open()<br />
<br />
Dim reader As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()<br />
<br />
Dim U_cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("", con)<br />
Dim IDNum As Integer<br />
<br />
<br />
Do While reader.Read<br />
IDNum = reader.GetInt32(0)<br />
<br />
<br />
U_cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE Main SET F3= '" & IDNum & "'WHERE ID= " & IDNum<br />
<br />

This will return every row in Main. Which you then loop over and update Main again. So you are updating EVERY row in Main.
You could reduce all this code into ONE SINGLE SQL statement - not 100,001 statements:
UPDATE Main SET F3=ID
This will do the same as your code. You need to call it exactly ONCE. It will likely take less that one second to execute (assuming the database doesn't need to update any indexes, run triggers, etc. also)

This will produce the same final result as the code your wrote above:
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("UPDATE Main SET F3=ID", con)
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()

I want: Field3 = MyFunction(Field1, Field2)
MyFunction is copmlex mathematical function, and my question is how to update milion rows?
Please note your code, bye.......

Well why didn't you explain that? Why give a sample of code that you don't want?
Rather than pull across a million rows and perform a calculation in C# and return the result - which is slow - do it all in SQL.
If you want further help then you are going to have to tell us what the calculation is and what data is involved - not some substitute, because that way the wrong answer lies!

Our many applications have always run with SQL Server 2000, which I have installed on my system, referencing a few databases. Now I want to test if the proper working of our programs will be affected by using SQL Server 2005 instead. I haven't yet installed SQL Server 2005.
1) When I install SQL Server 2005 (or for that matter, if I have multiple instances of SQL Server 2000 installed for some silly reason), I assume that each instance/verson of the product has its own list of databases, right? I mean, when I install SQL Server 2005, I assume that I cannot attach the exact same databases that SQL Server 2000 already has attached?
2) If I run a program using OLEDB (C++ code) or ADO.NET (C# code) that wants to access a database, how on earth does it know which instance/version of SQL Server contains the database? I would have thought it was through the connection string, but the connection string I have always used doesn't seem to specify anything that would identify a particular instance/version of SQL Server: Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=<hostname>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<username>;Initial Catalog=<databasename>;Password=<password>
Thanks for the help. I'd rather know this before I install SQL Server 2005.

Hmmm. Those smiley's you see are code project misinterpreting my angle brackets. I don't actually put smileys in my connection string

Yes. You will need to upgrade a SQL Server 2000 database to work with SQL Server 2005.
However, it is possible to manage (mostly) a SQL Server 2000 instance from the SQL Server 2005 client tools. The back end database is still SQL Server 2000.

The connection string identifies the instance.

Then you have likely always connected to the default instance (it has no name)
Data Source=<machine_name>
for the default instance OR
Data Source=<machine_name>\<instance_name>
for specificly named instance.

Thank you, Colin, that is exactly what I needed to know.
Since I wanted a default instance of SQL Server 2005, I tried installing it and specifying that. It claimed that it would update my existing software (SQL Server 2000) and become the default instance, but it lied. Instead, it failed to install at all (or to rollback the installation). So after then uninstalling all versions of SQL Server from my machine, I could finally install SQL Server 2005 properly and it works without problems ......
except that I find that other machines, running SQL Server 2000, cannot go to Enterprise Manager and create a new server registration that connects them to my machine (even though I can create new server registrations in my SQL Server 2005 that connect me to their machines). Is it not possible for SQL Server 2000 installations to connect through Enterprise Manager to SQL Server 2005 installations?
Or perhaps it is some security issue. The computer I'm using has had mysterious security problems since I got it. For example, mine is the only computer in the office to which nobody can map a shared drive, and nobody understands why not.

Enterprise manager works through an intimate knowledge of how SQL Server works internally. It cannot make any assumptions about how SQL Server 2005 works and will therefore not connect to it.

Unless the database vendor provides it the only access method is via the DataReader.
To clear up some misunderstandings in your statement:
There are no other access methods. The DataSet has no database connectivity at all. The DataAdapter uses a DataReader to extract data from the database and put it in a DataSet.
