I would like to ask you if possible to use one database of connections shared between multiple SQL Developer clients. I mean something line group of people can have their own SQL Developer client on the PC with one shared connections DB, so one add/change/delete the connection, everyone will notice that.
Thanks
You can accomplish this by using tnsnames.ora on your system. You can specify the tnsnames.ora location in Windows menu, Preferences, expand Database, and select Advance.
Here's more information on using tnsnames.ora file: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/tnsnames.htm
Hope it helps!

we are using 2018.3 version of Tableau Server. The server stats like user login, and other stats are getting logged into PostgreSQL DB. and the same being cleared regularly after 1 week.
Is there any API available in Tableau to connect the DB and take backup of data somewhere like HDFS or any place in Linux server.
Kindly let me know if there are any other way other than API as well.
Thanks.
You can enable access to the underlying PostgreSQL repository database with the tsm command. Here is a link to the documentation for your (older) version of Tableau
https://help.tableau.com/v2018.3/server/en-us/cli_data-access.htm#repository-access-enable
It would be good security practice to limit access to only the machines (whitelisted) that need it, create or use an existing read-only account to access the repository, and ideally to disable access when your admin programs are complete (i.e.. enable access, do your query, disable access)
This way you can have any SQL client code you wish query the repository, create a mirror, create reports, run auditing procedures - whatever you like.
Personally, before writing significant custom code, I’d first see if the info you want is already available another way, in one of the built in admin views, via the REST API, or using the public domain LogShark or TabMon systems or with the Addon (for more recent versions of Tableau) the Server Management Add-on, or possibly the new Data Catalog.
I know at least one server admin who somehow clones the whole Postgres repository database periodically so he can analyze stats offline. Not sure what approach he uses to clone. So you have several options.
I have a database on "Microsoft OneDrive", I have 4 valid licenses from Gupta 4 SqlBase. When I try to run from PC 1 I can access the database, but when I try the same from PC 2 I got this
Reason: Attempting to open an existing file and a failure has occurred.
Remedy: Determine and correct the cause of the open file failure.
Verify that the specified file exists. Verify the number of
files allowed open for the operating system permits the
additional file, that is, check the FILES= configuration
parameter setting.
I assume this is related to the LOG files on the database and some settings in the Sql.Ini, but I'm not able to find where/how???
The intention is to run the database on "OneDrive", buy SqlBase licenses and run a multi user system. The application has been made as such.
Where do I think wrong?
Where do I do wrong?
What setting are missing?
Thanks
That won't work.
SqlBase (and all other RDBMS) are built to manage one databasefile + logfiles.
When multiple instances work with more or less replicated datafiles this ends up in a clash.
There are systems in the world which can work as a distributed cluster (e.g. like the document-database RavenDB) but they are built to work like this (not with OneDrive of course but with their own replication mechanism). Sqlbase is not.
I need to transition several databases from one remote, cloud-based server/service (modulus.io) to another (Compose.io). As far as I'm aware, I don't have console access on the target server, which seems to be required for using mongocopy or mongorestore. I have all of the credentials. How do I do this? What command should I use, or is there a tool designed for the purpose?
I'm currently trying to use mongodump to move the database to my local machine, and then try to mongorestore it to the target machine. This is going very slowly, even for a modestly sized database (<2GB) it looks like it will take most of a day to download).
Thanks
In the Compose.io Web UI, create a new DB and click "import". There you can choose the source DB to import. Works every time! :)
I don't think this feature is available on the free tier.
My database is hosted in a shared hosting. I connect my database remotely in Management Studio Express. Whenever i try to connect to sqlserver instance it shows all the databases that are hosted in that server instance. This annoying to find out your database out of 400 database of the other users all the time.
Is there a any way to filter down the list of databases to those i won or have permission ? i don't want to see databases that i don't have permission or i don't own.
Remember my database is hosted in a shared hosting and as a user i have limited privilege.
I've researched a similar issue and the only method I've found that works for this is a little hackish, however it may work for you in this case. If you (or the administrator of your shared host) is able to make your login the DBO of your database, and then also DENY VIEW to all databases for your login, you should only see the database that your login owns when you connect. So the t-sql would be:
`USE AdventureWorks2008R2
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::AdventureWorks2008R2 to TestLogin
USE MASTER
DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO TestLogin`
Not sure if this is a fit for your scenario, and definitely not saying it is a best practice, but maybe it helps!
I have created the solutio for this problem in SSMSBoost add-in for SSMS (I am the developer of this add-in).
There is a special "Smart connection switch" combobox on the toolbar, that you can configure to show your favorite connections (Preferred connections), also you can display all local databases, BUT only those, that you can access.
My 2 server both use SQL Server 2008 R2
I have my local SQL server and also an Amazon machine running an instance of SQL-Server there.
I'm able to connect from my local machine to that Amazon SQL using the standard 10.10.10.10, 1433 connection from my local Management Studio.
What i need to do now is to run a query that says ..tells me what records I have locally that are not on the Amazon server right now.
Something like:
SELECT *
FROM [LOCAL].dbo.Table1
WHERE Field1 NOT IN
(SELECT Field1 FROM [AMAZON].Database1.dbo.Table1)
================================
Question:
I don't know how to write the "AMAZON" location on the Query window itself, since it's running on a different server.
Any help is truly appreciated !!!
You have to configure AMAZON Server as LINKED Server on your local machine. If you name it "AMAZON" - you query will work exactly as you wrote.
In SSMS, \Server Objects\Linked Servers. Right click, 'new linked server'. Name your server, and choose 'SQL server' radio button. Because I was authorized user on both machines with windows credentials, I selected 'Be made using the login's current security context' radio button under the security tab, and did not even have to fool with the local/remote user mappings.
In order to be able to run queries across multiples servers, a link (linked Server) must be established between the 2 Servers. To create a linked server,
Navigate to the Linked Server Sub-folder under the Server Object folders
Right Click on the Linked Server Folder
Click on New Linked Server
Supply the Connection Strings for the Server
Name your Linked Server.
You can now use the full object qualification (LinkedServer.Database.tableOwner.Table) to access the objects.
Good Luck !
You should open your registered server window and create a group for your servers. then you right click the group name and select new query (Or select several servers in that group). if you execute the query it will rung against the servers selected.
