Extract a complete XML section and sub sections

Ive been using select statments to get information from each 'section'.
example below shows only for the Header section.
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.hDoc OUTPUT, @.TESTXML
Select * from OpenXML(@.hDoc, '//Header') with
(reportType varchar(10), reportNumber VarChar(6), batchNumber varchar(6),
reportSequenceNumber varchar(6), userNumber varchar(6) )
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.hDoc
the following section of the file has sub sections contained within the
Header section, Is there a simple way to return all the data values in one
SQL ?
- <Header reportType="REFT2013" reportNumber="14685" batchNumber="023"
reportSequenceNumber="000760" userNumber="948053">
<ProducedOn time="17:31:38" date="2004-09-27" />
<ProcessingDate date="2004-09-28" />
</Header>
You can specify relative XPaths for the columns in the subelements, as shown
below. Is that what you mean?
DECLARE @.TESTXML nvarchar(2000)
DECLARE @.hDoc integer
SET @.TESTXML =
'<Header reportType="REFT2013" reportNumber="14685" batchNumber="023"
reportSequenceNumber="000760" userNumber="948053">
<ProducedOn time="17:31:38" date="2004-09-27" />
<ProcessingDate date="2004-09-28" />
</Header>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.hDoc OUTPUT, @.TESTXML
Select * from OpenXML(@.hDoc, '//Header', 1)
with
(reportType varchar(10),
reportNumber VarChar(6),
batchNumber varchar(6),
reportSequenceNumber varchar(6),
userNumber varchar(6),
ProducedOnTime nvarchar(10) 'ProducedOn/@.time',
ProducedOnDate nvarchar(20) 'ProducedOn/@.date',
ProcessingDate nvarchar(20) 'ProcessingDate/@.date' )
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.hDoc

External Activation and Notification Services

I have been going over the samples from PDC 2005 and trying to run the External Activator program in section 2 'CLR Services'. After sending a message to the Inventory Queue, I see that 'dm_broker_queue_monitors' table has a row in the table, with the state column shown as 'NOTIFIED', but the ExternalActivator program never gets notified of the event and therefore never launches the 'InventoryServer' program.

Querying the [ExternalActivatorQueue] shows no rows.

Querying the [Inventory Queue] shows messages are waiting to be received.

Executing the 'activator' command in the ExternalActviator program shows

Notification service 'ExternalActivator' on SQL Server 'DBSERVER\' and Database 'In
ventory' is connected to the database and working.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

-KuoAfter some browsing through code in the samples, I figured out the problem. The queue thats suppose to contain all the notification messages for the ExternalActivator program was checking the correct queue for messages, however no messages were being created in the [ExternalActivatorQueue] whenever a new message was sent to the [Inventory Queue].
So I, dDropped the event, 'en', and reran the create event notifcation:

drop event notification en on queue [Inventory Queue]

create event notification en
on queue [Inventory Queue]
for queue_activation
to service 'ExternalActivator', 'current database';

sent a few more messages and the ExternalActivatorQueue started getting messages in the queue whenever a new message was sent to the [Inventory Queue].

This is really strange. I know I must of ran the create event notification command a few times. Oh well, it works now.

External access to SQL Server

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is right section to post this. It seems the most relevant one to me. (Please point me in the right direction if it is not).

I am a programmer/web developer for a medium sized organisation in the financial industry (in Australia). Obviously being in the finance industry, we have very strict guidelines and access when it comes to security. We are currently in the process of converting our website to use a SQL Server database (instead of MS Access which we have been using for years). In the past, we have accessed our web database via SFTP as it was only an Access file. Now that we are converting to SQL Server, we will still need access to our database (which is on a server hosted externally). It seems a bit silly (and even bizarre) to me to consider trying to access a SQL Server database via SFTP (as that, to me, defeats the purpose of some of its security features), but is it even possible?

My security guys here will only allow me to access the external server that hosts our website/database via SFTP (on a machine that is outside our network, so any files that I wish to update on our website I need to copy over via USB or whatever). If I am not able to get into the SQL Server administrator program to change our database via SFTP, is there someway that I can "drop" a changed copy of our database into a directory somewhere that SQL Server can "pick up"?

Am I making sense?

Many thanks,

Bronwyn

You could drop that, but you would anyway have to do some administrative stuff, like detaching the old database, are even just stopping the service. Perhaps it is better to install a web admin client for the SQL Server which is downloadable at Microsoft. It does not provide the whole functionality of the Managment Studio or Enterprise Manager, but this would be a proper way to execute your changing scripts to narrow the maintaince window.

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

host the client application inside your site

or design a webservice inside your site

and have the remote application

access Sql server through webservice
