• .NET Development To run a C# Application Without Oracle Client Software.

  Hi, I have created an application using Visual C# and Oracle 9i. Am using System.Data.OracleClient as Provider. I want to run this application(.exe) in the machines,which are not oracle client installed. I tried this, It showing error " System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater .". Thanks in Advance, Regards Nataraj.C You're completely right. If you want to read any data from the database you need to have the oracle client software installed. My idea was to deploy the application on a bunch of machines, but only selected machines will have the oracle client installed so that the application will reveal some extra functionality if it detects the in ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting PowerPoint slideshow as active window over a form

• SQL Server Filter in Table Syntax

  I have several reports where I am trying to use a single sp, and filter some of the paramater selections in reporting services. I can get a single item to work in the filters ie: state.value = SC but i have not been able to get a multivalue scenario to work. ie: State.value in SC,GA,TN or State.value in ('SC','GA','TN') or State.value in ("SC","GA","TN") or State.value in 'SC','GA','TN' or State.value in "SC","GA","TN" I am guessing it is a simple syntax thing, but well obviously I havent found it.

• SQL Server Replication scnerio

  Hi all, I have a huge replication task I need to perform. The source table has over 250,000,000 records and everyday approximately 400,000 records are added to the system regularly. Currently, I am running snapshot replication and it's taking 10 to 11 hours to complete (The internet connection between the production and the report server is slow). The reason I am using this method is because the source table does not have a timestamp column (so I can run an incremental replication) and I cannot modify that table because it belongs to a third party software. It does have a field which is linked to another table holding the timestamp. Here is the source table and the other table's structure for reference: DataLog Name ...Show All

• SQL Server Is Service Broker Enabled?

  Hello, I've been trying for two days now to get SQL Cache Dependencies to work. So far, nothing has worked, and I have been around the block a few times now on this one. So now I'm going back to basics, as I think my code and queries are fine. My first question is how to confirm that I have a Service Broker that is up and running. I am using SSX as my database engine. Other posts mention how the "look at the service broker folder", and I don't see a folder anywhere. Can someone tell me what to look for I've added various SP's based on tutorials on web sites, so I can't tell if those SP's are mine or theirs at this point (I've been at this too long). Where is the "folder" the other posts have mentioned Do I need to do ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS and Teradata

  Is anyone out there using SSRS with a Teradata data source R Ron, A couple of things. First off, thanks for the dynamic string. The above code does work for me in VS Designer when I select the 'All' option. Are you running SQL Server SP2 like I am Second, I talked to some of the MS folks at Tech Ed earlier this year. The execute immediately is by design. At that time they recommended we create our own website that wraps the report viewer instead of the default report manager. We were not thrilled with that answer. In short, you are out of luck. Have you run into any other issues with respect to access TD from MSRS I seem to be a few steps behind you which is making my life a little easier ...Show All
