• SQL Server How to catch severity level from SQL Server 2005 in Centura 4.1 client with ODBC-connection?

  We have a client application developed in Centura 4.1 for Sybase dB. We have now migrated the DB to SQL Server 2005 and we have a problem: For several reasons we must use ODBC and when the DB raises a warning (severity level < 11 ) the Centura-client must ignore this. As it works now the client raises an error an stops execution. When using Sybase the client got the severity level from the DB and the client ignored all levels that was < 11. We now cannot do that since we do not get that info from the ODBC… So I wonder: Can we stop the SQl Server from raising errors with severity level < 11 (=warnings) How do we get the severity level and not only the ODBC number and text in the client.. We also tried ...Show All

• .NET Development Regex search for two words seperated by a space

  I have a text file that I need to match on. I load the file into a string and then strip out the newline characters (\012’s) and replace them with stars (\052’s) to make working with them simpler. So then I have a string variable made up of groups of text separated by double stars (**) with the occasional star in-between the double stars. I need to find names within those ‘groups’ but I also need all the text within the group. I build my regex by using a string variable for the name and end up with a regex like this: Dim textForRegex As String = "( xism)\*\*[^\*]*" & strName This works as long as I use a single name in my ‘Prompt’ string. When I type in two words such as ‘John Smith’ my regex search fail ...Show All

• SQL Server scripting the isql.exe to export date and backup the DB SQL 2000

  We have no certified SQL DBAs. Mainly because 95% of our production data is on Oracle and DB2 databases. One of our Oracle DBAs is trying to write scripts that can be run by the AS400 robot to export data and backup the databases. I (being the only person with any SQL expierance) have been asked to ensure that the scripts she wrote will not only work but not bring down the server. Can anyone point me to the correct place (web, book, ect) to find out how this is to be done In years past my SQL servers have been stand alone dedicated units. With db backups scheduled through the SQL Manager and tape backups handled by the sysadmin. Please help, Cwells ...Show All

• Visual C# how to insert a carriage return at the end of a string in C# pls

  2/ also, if I do : line=myStreamReader.ReadLine How do I do to keep the carriage return as part of line string So when i display line items they keep the returns and my text gets well formatted Thank you ReadLine will strip them out. The easiest thing to do is to insert them back using "\n". However you can also switch to Read to get a block of characters at a time or ReadToEnd to read the entire string into memory. If you don't need to do any manipulation then ReadToEnd is the best choice. Michael Taylor - 2/7/07 http://p3net.mvps.org ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Very Large Messages With WCF

  Hi, I am having some problems with message sizes. My service can receive a very large xml string, probably up to 250K or more. I noticed that on the service host side it appears the message is just being "overlooked". There are no errors thrown when the message is received (that I can tell nothing in the event log or captured in my code), yet my service host that implements my service contract doesn't process the message. I read about setting the MaxStringContentLength reader quota in my binding and I changed it to 2147483647 and had limited success with it. Smaller messages, say around 35K are now handled with a larger quota but the really large messages are not making it. All other quota values are set to 0. Given that I don ...Show All
