• SQL Server Design Question (Analysis Services or Integration Services)

  Hi, I have a design issue and not sure, which approach to follow. Iam not sure, if I have to use analysis services or integration services. But we would like to use price trending also, so probably analysis services could be an option. We have a table which stores the Customer Items information. For making it easier, I will talk about customer 1 and item 1as shown in the table below: CustomerID CustomerCategoryID RegionId ItemID Price 1 1 2 1 10.00 2 1 2 1 12.00 3 1 2 1 14.00 4 2 1 1 18.00 5 2 1 1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Server name in Changeset.aspx

  I changed the name of my TFS server in all sorts of places, but there is one left which I can't figure out. When I get an alert email that something new was checked in, I get an email with a link to the changeset. It ends with /VersionControl/Changeset.aspx artifactMoniker=16&webView=true. In there is a reference to a XSL stylesheet, but that reference is using the old, original server name. How can I update that one as well Thanks, David Jeff, I am afraid I didn't explain myself clearly. I changed the server name of our TFS server with the activateat from tfs01 to tfs01.mycompany.com. I also changed the TFSNameUrl and the TFSUrlPublic in the web.config in the Web Service directory. But ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB Control Arrays.

  Ok, there are many posts all over the net with possible solutions to this challenge, but none seem to suit my needs. in the 'good ol' days' (VB6 and Prior) you could simply copy/paste controls to a form and set Index properties to create an array of controls. These could then be manipulated individualy, for example: MyTextBox(1).Text ="I" MyTextBox(1).Text ="WOZ" MyTextBox(1).Text ="'ERE" But I can't find a simple solution to create an array of 132 picture boxes. I don't need anything fancy, just to be able to address each box individually using an index. Any help would be much appreciated, and keep my barber in business a bit longer! Thanks, MrMojo.

• SQL Server Full Cached Lookup with Parameters

  Parameterized queries are only allowed on partial or none cache style lookup transforms, not 'full' ones. Is there some "trick" to parameterizing a full cache lookup, or should the join simply be done at the source, obviating the need for a full cache lookup at all (other suggestion certainly welcome) More particularly, I'd like to use the lookup transform in a surrogate key pipeline. However, the dimension is large (900 million rows), so its would be useful to restrict the lookup transform's cache by a join to the source. For example: Source query is: select a,b,c from t where z=@filter (20,000 rows) Lookup transform query: select surrogate_key,business_key from dimension (900 M rows, not tenable) Ideal Lookup ...Show All

• SQL Server Threshold for data cache

  Hello Everybody- I am looking for some answers on below queries, 1. How many rows of data can be contained in the data cache, here in case of a temporary table (# tables) 2. When would SQL server decided to have the temp table on tempdb instead of data cache I did some google around but couldn't conclude anything. Thanks in advance! The temp table is always going to be written to tempdb. End of story. The data will be in memory, but it is also going to be written to disk. As far as how many rows can fit in the data cache, that all depends upon the size of your data cache and the size of each row that you are reading or writing. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to send folder in stream

  Is where any way to send folder direct in stream with all content inside it (structure, files, subdirs) with an ability to recover it later from that stream I'd say a similar good approach is derivate from the FileSystemInfo Class and mark that class as serializable. A bit more work, but works nicly. For those who have local help installed: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/cpref8/html/T_System_IO_FileSystemInfo.htm ...Show All
