  • Archiving Geocue Projects in Microsoft SQL Server

    Archiving Geocue Projects in Microsoft SQL Server

    CueTip Archiving GeoCue Projects in Microsoft SQL Server GeoCue Group Support January 16, 2015 Revision 2.0 Introduction GeoCue Server runs on top of a SQL database. The database stores all the metadata about projects as well as all internal links to the geospatial data stored in the GeoCue warehouses. The database may be a full SQL database installation or a limited edition of SQL such as Microsoft SQL Server Express (Express) or Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE). Express and MSDE are free versions of SQL limited to five concurrent users and a maximum database file size of 10GB (SQL Express 2008 R2 and later) or 2 GB respectively. Note that it is very important to make sure regular GeoCue database backups are integrated with your standard IT backup and archiving policies. Failure to back-up your GeoCue database on a regular basis can result in a significant loss of project data in the case of a hardware or software failure. Once the database size limit will be exceeded GeoCue will no longer be able to store additional metadata about projects as SQL will be unable to allocate additional space in the database - even if the current database size has yet to cross that threshold. Before the file size reaches the database limit of an Express version, it is recommended that a user upgrade to a full version of SQL Server. If a user does not have the ability to upgrade to a full version of SQL Server then the next best option is to delete old or unnecessary projects within the database using project utilities in the GeoCue Client.
  • Technology Announcement - SQL Server Database Transition

    Technology Announcement - SQL Server Database Transition

    October 20, 2003 Technology Announcement - SQL Server Database Transition DATAIR currently uses the Microsoft JET (Access) MDB database for its Windows- based products. Due to Microsoft’s announcement that this technology is no longer under active development, DATAIR has decided to transition its products to the Microsoft SQL Server client/server database platform tentatively scheduled to begin late in the first quarter of 2004. Moving to SQL Server will allow us to attain even greater levels of application performance, reliability, and scalability. We have prepared the following summary in Q&A format to help you understand what this change will mean to you, and the steps you may need to take to prepare for this transition. What does this mean to you? First and foremost, SQL Server is a client/server database technology unlike JET. When configured properly, client/server databases can offer higher levels of performance and stability than file based databases. Will my data transfer from my JET database? Yes, we will include a utility to transfer your data from current database to your new one. Do I need to buy SQL Server? Not necessarily. DATAIR will be including a limited version of SQL Server called the Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE) that Microsoft allows us to distribute free of charge. Depending on the number of simultaneous users, and the type of work they will be doing, MSDE may be all you need. How many users can MSDE support? MSDE is designed to support a maximum of 5 simultaneous operations. That’s not to be confused with 5 users.

    Distributing SQL Server with Applications After Building and Testing a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Application, You Must Distribute It to Customers

    Distributing SQL Server Applications Distributing SQL Server with Applications After building and testing a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 application, you must distribute it to customers. You must also be able to distribute the SQL Server components required by your application. There are two options for how you distribute SQL Server components with your application: Distribute the SQL Server 2000 relational database engine and client components with your application. Distribute only the SQL Server 2000 client components if your customers will already have an instance of SQL Server to which they can connect from your application. The licensing terms controlling the redistribution of SQL Server components are defined in the file Redist.txt, which is located on your SQL Server compact disc. Distributing the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine The SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine is a redistributable version of the relational database engine in SQL Server 2000. It allows an application that uses the SQL Server relational database engine to install the engine as a part of the application setup process. The Desktop Engine is designed so that an application can use it to store data without requiring any database administration from the end user. The Desktop Engine is designed to manage its configuration and resource usage dynamically, minimizing the requirement for administration of the engine after it has been installed. The Desktop Engine does not include SQL Server utilities or tools that have graphical user interfaces. The application setup is coded to install the engine. After the Desktop Engine has been installed, either the application setup or the application use the standard SQL Server APIs (SQL- DMO, Transact-SQL, and so on) to create and configure the database, and the application uses the SQL Server APIs to perform any needed administration.
