• SQL Server Help with query - New to SQL

  Not sure how to quite ask this question. I know how to do what I want under MySQL but with MS SQL I'm mystified. The main issue is that the database I'm attempting to access is fairly large so my query times out also that I lack any real access to the server itself except via my workstation. What I'd like to do is try to map the structure of a table in the database so that I can see what fields the front end is current not utilizing. The basic setup is a webserver and access the database via PHP. I'm hoping that this is a simple thing to do but I haven't found a solution yet anywhere online. < php require ("connect.inc"); $db = @MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$username,$password) or DIE("DATABASE FAILED TO RESPOND."); ms ...Show All

Then any other process from any execution context can access them anytime via a "source connection" to that file... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions vcbuild can't work from a makefile?

  Hi, I saw this old post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=220065&SiteId=1 ... that says in order to build a project, I should use syntax like: vcbuild MyProject.vcproj "Release|Win32" ... in order to build the Win32 version of a Release build. Then, I see in the vcproj help files that vcproj files are not compatible with nmake. Does that mean I cannot invoke this command in a makefile, but must be typed at the command prompt My understanding is that if I were to use devenv, I would also be using .sln/.vcproj files. Does that mean devenv can't build a project from within nmake And... why are vcproj files incompatible with nmake Could they be compatible with other kinds of makefiles, ...Show All
