• SQL Server Update Query Taking 23 seconds

  I am not sure if I am in the correct location or if I should be in the SQL forum but here is my question: I have an update statement that goes out through SQL 2000 through a local linked server to another SQL 2000 server on my machine. When I run the update in Query Analyzer it takes less than a second. When I run it in my C# code using the SqlCommand object and parameters it takes me ~23 seconds. If I remove one of the parameters it goes down to ~15 milliseconds. Has anyone heard of this happening The parameter that I remove is a simple char(10) column that isn't the primary key and is used in the WHERE statement. There isn't an index on the field. 23 Seconds Update table Set column = @val WHERE field = @field AND other = @other ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies is it true that we can t write information to event log or text file while developing for sharepoint

  Hi, I code for sharepoint, but I need to log errors that might occur for users. When a user is using sharepoint, will the process be able to write information to event log or files for a domain user who has no administrative permissions on the server or will the process run under the user's priveliges and therefore any attempt to write to event log or text file on the server will mainly fail What s a good practice, guys, for logging and reporting either information or errors in production environnement wen we program for sharepoint.

• Visual C# Keyword "this"

  Is it true that using the keyword "this" makes the operations slower I know this might sound silly or even stupid, but I need a trusted source to answer this for me. This is because in my team, we decided to use the keyword "this" as a standard when refering to the variables of the object; even though it is not necesary; but yesterday some "trusted source" told us that using the keyword "this" slows up everything. If this is true (which I hardly believe), how many miliseconds woild it be Thanks in advance ...Show All

For the hierarchical properties, such as Names and Email (anything with L1-L2-L3 property names) you need to create an array node before trying to set the values.  The CreateArrayNode call will return a string like "NameCollection/Name[1]".  Once you have that you can append "/Title" to it and that will fix this issue. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Packages with different destination databases... removing original DB reference

  Hi All, OK, so I have an SSIS package that I build using the "test" database as the destination. Now I want to execute it using another database as the destination. This is basically for an installation script where the source is always the same, an access database. So here I have: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe" /file e:\data_import.dtsx /CONNECTION DestinationConnectionOLEDB;"\"Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Test2DB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;\"" Which works (sort of).
