Hello Everyone, I've got a SQL Server 2000 box that I'd like to put on "the Internet" so that developers could connect remotely without VPN access. What's the safest way to do so? It might be temporary, e.g. every once in a while, but it's definitely necessary. Thanks, Rob ...
I have a table in SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition called "dbo.T668" (don't blame me for the naming convention). I'm working on the server using SQL Server Management Studio 2005, and for some strange reason, I can't see the table at all in the list of tables. I see all the other tables, but not this one. If I open up a query editor a...

Here's my scenario: I have a simple stored procedure that removes a specific set of rows from a table (we'll say about 30k rows), and then inserts about the same amount of rows. This generally should only take a few seconds; however, the table has a trigger on it that watches for inserts/deletes, and tries to mimic what happened to a l...

I have been given the task of refactoring an existing stored procedure so that the results are paginated. The SQL server is SQL 2000 so I can't use the ROW_NUMBER method of pagination. The Stored proc is already fairly complex, building chunks of a large sql statement together before doing an sp_executesql and has various sorting optio...

Let's say I have 'myStoredProcedure' that takes in an Id as a parameter, and returns a table of information. Is it possible to write a SQL statement similar to this? SELECT MyColumn FROM Table-ify('myStoredProcedure ' + @MyId) AS [MyTable] I get the feeling that it's not, but it would be very beneficial in a scenario I have wi...
I'm using Linq2Sql for my asp.net mvc project and so far it has worked out just great. Now however I need to implement a "key word search" that searches for x key words over about 20 fields spread over 10 joined tables that are joined with a maximum depth of 3 levels. The linq function is really simpel, but the generated query is just to...

What would be the most efficient way to do a paging query in SQLServer 2000? Where a "paging query" would be the equivalent of using the LIMIT statement in MySQL. EDIT: Could a stored procedure be more efficient than any set based query in that case? ...
I have a number of stored procedures I call from code with ExecuteNonQuery. It was all good but 2 of my stored procedures started timing out intermittently today with: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. The statement has been terminated. If I e...
And if not, is there a way to tell when a trigger was disabled/enabled? FOLLOWUP: It's a rather interesting diagnostic case. I was only involved from the periphery, and the guy doing the diagnostics isn't a database guy. Anyways, he had a trigger that would move data from one table to another. He did a comparison and not all the data ...
I'm building a web app against a database where a small number of records (about 5000) are active at the same time. Each active working record probably experiences 50-300 changes by 30 users over a 4 hour period ... which is thousands of changes per minute. Because our testing environment is so static, testing is not realistic, and som...
