drawbacks of Saving documents to Sql server

Hi all,
..Net 1.1
Sql server 2000
i am working on a document managment module of my application, all i want to
do here is save the documents uplaoded by the user from my winforms over
webservices application\ webforms applicatoin to sql server 2000. I have been
told saving it on the webserver's file system might be a better way but seems
that microsft is gong more towars saving everthing in sql server. So my
question to the gurus out there is
1. does any one really have any hands on experience saving documents to sql
server 2000 and if so please tell me if u have any kind of performance issues
with this.
2. i was told that sql server is kind of a little slow in streaming out the
documents from the database, expecially bigger ones when compared to the
retriving it from the web server's file system, is this true ?
3. please tell me any other problesm that u might have faced when saving\
retriving files from the database.
4. is sql server 2005 any better in saving and retriving documents from the
database.

Dr Watson error after writing to SQL Server

I have a VB6 program that receives data using socket and save the data to a
SQL Server 2000 database.
It has Windows 2000 SP4 with all hot patches in it. It has 2 gig of RAM.
The program had been running for years with no problem, but for the last 3
days it had died exactly at 3 AM, right after it finished writing the data
to SQL Server.
No error on the screen, but there is Dr.
Watson error (it is in drwtsn32.log).
The error in drwtsn32.log is:
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation) --> this is on this VB
program.
I do not know how to read Dr Watson log, but the "Raw Stack Dump" contains
c:\winnt\system32\comsvcs.dll.
I searched on the internet and found that there was an Access Violation
error with comsvcs.dll, and the fix is to install the latest Windows
patches, which we already did. We also increased the memory from 1 gig RAM
to 2 gig. The program still happens.
There is no scheduled task running at 3 AM.
Does anybody know how to read Dr Watson log ?
How can I fix this problem ?
Thank you very much.
The previous 2 days when the program did not write to the SQL Server
database, the program did not die.
But today, it starts writing to the database again, and it again died at 3
am. The program writes to the database every minute every day without any
problem, except after it finishes writing to the database at 3 am.
I found this article that talks about Access Violation error and SQL Server
(but it is with Windows 2003, and I am using Windows 2000)
http://ask.support.microsoft.com/kb/910471
Symptoms
An access violation occurs in Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator
(MS DTC) when a client that is connected to an MS DTC clustered resource
tries to create an enlistment in MS DTC. For example, this problem may occur
if a computer where Microsoft SQL Server is installed loses synchronization
with an MS DTC server and then tries to enlist a transaction in MS DTC.
Cause
This problem occurs because of two race conditions in the MS DTC code. In
one race condition, the transaction manager (TM) tries to create a trace
before an interface pointer to perform that trace exists. A second race
condition exists when the MS DTC proxy sends TMDown notifications to
enlistments and resource managers.
Could that problem related to my problem, even though for different Windows
version ? What does it mean by "Microsoft SQL Server is installed loses
synchronization with an MS DTC server and then tries to enlist a transaction
in MS DTC" ?
Thanks.

Download Documents From Database

Does anyone have a code snippet in VBScript for how allow a user to save (or open) a document that has been stored in a database?

I have documents that are stored in an image column in a database. I have the code I need to upload documents from a user's browser. I'm not having any luck, however, figuring out how to let the user view or download the document that has been stored.

Regards,

Hugh ScottI'm no developer but found interesting code snippets from Planet SC (http://www.planet-source-code.com/).

HTH|||Sorry,

I had the code snippet right under my nose. This is VBScript:

<%
Set Conn = GetConnection
Set adoRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

'Open dynamic recordset, table Upload
adoRS.Open "SELECT * FROM tbl_Documents WHERE DocumentID = 1", Conn, 2, 2

sFileName = adoRS("SourceFileName")
sContentType = adoRS("ContentType")
sDataSize = adoRS("DataSize")

' clear the buffer
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear


' send the headers to the users browser
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & sFileName
' Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", sDataSize
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = scontentType

' output the file to the browser
Response.BinaryWrite adoRS("Data")
Response.Flush


' tidy up
s.Close
Set s = Nothing

Function GetConnection()
dim Conn

Set Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=iEIC;Data Source=MyServer"

Conn.Open

set GetConnection = Conn
end function
%>

Downgrad from EE to standard

Trying to save some licensing fees.
Is there an easy way to downgrade from EE to Standard?
Trying to avoid a server rebuild.
TIA,

Unfortunately you do have to reinstall SQL Server to downgrade SQL Server from EE to Standard Edition.

Does the rsreportserver.config file update in realtime?

for example, if i was to change my smtp server within the rsreportserver.config file, does it automatically update in realtime the second i save it or do i need to refresh something?

any insight on this would be grateful before i do anything.

thanks!

No. When you save the config file the server will automatically restarts itself.

so just to clarify before i start editing the xml file, if i change any value and save the xml file, the reporting server will restart itself?

so basically after saving, i just need to wait a couple of minutes for the changes to take effect once the server restarts?|||No need to wait. As you would see the first request after the config change will take much longer because the server needs to initialize itself.
