Cross database query is not allowed in Sql Azure. Rather Azure has applied a different logic to use the same. Please check my article before proceeding with "sp_execute_remote " http://an-it-solution.blogspot.in/2017/01/sql-azure-select-from-another-database.html You need to create a SP in " DbCustomers"  with the name of " LogEvents_Insert" which will be called by following query. The below query will execute in " DbPayments  " and insert data into "LogLogin" of " DbCustomers" EXEC sp_execute_remote @data_source_name  = N' DbUtilityLogging_Datasource ', @stmt = N'LogEvents_Insert @LoginID', @params = N'@LoginId nvarchar(50)', @LoginID='narender90'

Cross database query Sql Azure Azure cross database query performance sql azure select from another database reference to database and/or server name in is not supported in this version of sql server. All the above statements are reference to the issue we face while shifting data from Sql Server to Azure Database. While using Sql Server (Any version) we can reference any database with in Sql server according to user rights assigned to user. We can use statements like "select * from db1.dbo.customers" But now in Sql Azure the system and terminology has changed. Now, azure has new concept of External Tables  and sp_execute_remote  in introduced. Now we need to know the who is who in Azure. External Tables = "Is for Select" sp_execute_remote="Execute External Store Procedures" Before proceeding. Please create 2 azure databases as per your choice. Here I am naming them as. DbCustomers and DbPayments  and keep a reference to them ...

We are developing Application for Google Smart TV and all is going well. We are using Table, Div or some other elements which cannot be focused on using .focus() of java script. We have used Table to show data in one of our page. Our target is to set the focus on first element of table i.e. first row. We tried different solutions suggested on web but nothing worked. All the posts are suggesting to use focusable controls like text box, check box etc. Finally we found solution on http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.css/browse_thread/thread/42591922d95c6399 In the post "Stanimir Stamenkov" has used a term "if you just define a 'tabindex' on the element it becomes focusable" I assigned "tabindex" property to table row and then used .focus() and the focus reached to row. Hope this will help all who are looking for such nice solutions.

I have an requirement to pass special characters in URL query string. for example my URL need to be like http://mysite.com/default.aspx?a=xyx(abc) In the above URL my special character is "(" and ")". While development I have not faced any issue but as I uploaded the files to serve it start giving error 404 (page not found) where ever I have use "(" or ")" special characters. When I started searching I have tried many solutions. but nothing works for me. Then on some site some one has sugested to check IIS log. When I checked the log I found that I have Installed Microsoft URL Scan 3.1 on my server which is filtering the URL. So, I need to allow "(" and ")" on my server so, I decided to allow there characters in my URL. So, to add exception to URL Scan 3.1 you need to open urlscan.ini which you can find in "%windir%\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\" You can use 2 section...

If you have admin rights on both the servers you can "Link the servers" under "Server Objects>>Linked Servers" Right click on the same and provide all the parameters of server or as an alternate you can run following command. EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'db1', @srvproduct = 'SQLServer OLEDB Provider',  @provider = 'SQLOLEDB',  @datasrc = 'server2',  @provstr='User Id=sa; Password=abc' The above command parameters:-  @server- An identification name of server. @datasrc- Your server instance name or IP. Your SQL will look like:- Select * from db1.dbname.dbo.tablename If sometimes the server will get changed, the above statement gives you the option to change the user name, password and server at any points of time without effecting the ...

With the launch of VS 2010, we start using VS 2010 and used the new improved IDE and features of VS 2010. While woring with a windows based application we have requirement to use Crystal Report. We are able to add and design a new Crystal Report without facing any problem. After writing the code to show data, we start getting a unique problem of "crdb_adoplus.dl". We searched for many solution and finally find the solution. We added the following attributes in app.config <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/> </startup> So, the final app.config will be :- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> </connectionStrings> <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/> ...

Many times I faced the same problem with all my applications, that is Max size of file to be uploaded to server. By default, the maximum size limit of a file to be uploaded to a server using the ASP.NET FileUpload control is 4MB. You cannot upload anything that is larger than this limit. If you wants to upload a file more the size of 4 MB which is by default, you have to make some changes in the application's web.config: <configuration> <system.web> <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="xxx" /> </system.web> </configuration> Below is the small description of the parameters attributes. maxRequestLength - Attribute limits the file upload size for ASP.NET application. This limit can be used to prevent denial of service attacks (DOS) caused by users posting large files to the server. The size specified is in kilobytes. As mentioned earlier, the default is "4096" (4 MB). Max value is "1048576" (1 GB) for .NET Framework ...

Download code example In an Asp.net application I have developed a Forum in which I have requirement to show date and time according to the time zone of PC on which it is running, I had searched for too many examples on but all are using too complex java scripts and other methods to convert time into local time zone. Finally I decided to make my own solution for this problem My solution is using “TimeZoneInfo” to convert the data to local time zone, this class allow me to convert time according to any time zone, but again I got another problem which is how to take time zone of browser. Again I search on net and finally come out with a code. <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">     function genarateDateValue()     {                      var d = new Date()             ...

In my application I have a target to show message if user does not have permission to navigate to another page. I can do this by using server code but it will make a round trip to server and make a bad user experience so, I decided to use java script. Following is the function of Java Script <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function func_Message(obj) { if (parseFloat(obj)>0) { return true; } else { alert("Please assign a value before viewing the details"); return false; } } </script> And following is the code of Link Button from where I am passing value to Java Script Function <asp:LinkButton ID="lnk_Details" runat="server" Text="Details" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("festi_id") +"~" + Eval("user_id") %>' CommandName="ViewDet...

Download Code Example I was developing windows application for a well known company of World. This application was in C#.net 2005. As per requirement I have to show user defined message whenever an Exception occurs in the application. The answer is very simply write a simple Try{},Catch{} statement to handle exception. Suppose I have a code of 1000 line unwanted code and error handling creates extra thread while executing the application. I had search on the internet and found a solution to disable the JIT debugger. It works but still it is showing the application information related to functions etc. used in the code. Now, a major issue had risen from client, i.e. he don’t want to show JIT information to user he wants to show his own message whenever any Exception occurs. Offf…. Now that’s the task to which needs to done. I cannot use Try{},Catch{} as this decrease the application performance. Finally I came to the solution. I had wired an event with application to handle applicatio...

It is not possible to remove Auto Increment field using Alter command in Sql Server. What we can use is SET IDENTITY_INSERT Take this following example this creates a table with auto increment field and still insert data to the same.

Note: Make sure after completing this operation you set the value to SET IDENTITY_INSERT <Table Name>OFF --Create table and its columns CREATE TABLE [test].[Table_1] ( [Id][int] NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1), [Name][nvarchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL); GO ALTER TABLE [test].[Table_1] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Table_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id]) GO SET IDENTITY_INSERT [test].[Table_1] ON GO INSERT INTO [test].[Table_1] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (1, 'Narender') GO INSERT INTO [test].[Table_1] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (3, ...

Every database is having some number of connection limits which you can increase up to an extend. But database can support up to an number of connections. This error occurs when we open a connection and forget to close that. Verify each line of your code and make sure you had closed the connection after completing your database operations. I had faced this error in C# My sql application. I had crossed verify my code and find a code where I am not closing my connection after completing my operations. I had simply write connection.Close(); and it had worked.
