I have a question regarding the purpose of some service in sql. What does the process, the purpose of them.
OracleSchedulerXE
OracleORADB19Home1MTSRecoveryService
OracleOraDB19home1TNSListner
OracleRemExecServiceV2
OracleServiceXE
OracleVSSWriter
I tried to find something about OracleSchedurXE but I did nt find anithing.
Thank you.
If I Google any of the service names, I get back several pages that go into detail about what they do.
OracleSchedulerXE is used by Oracle for the dbms_scheduler package that lets you schedule jobs to run inside the database.
OracleORADB19Home1MTSRecoveryService is used for interacting with the Microsoft Transaction Server. Most commonly, that is used to allow applications to manage distributed transactions that involve Oracle and other Windows services.
OracleOraDB19home1TNSListner is used for the TNS listener.
That's the process that allows users to connect to the database from remote machines.
OracleRemExecServiceV2 is a service used by the Oracle Universal Installer during installation that will be removed once you reboot after a successful install.
OracleServiceXE is the service that actually runs the Oracle database
OracleVSSWriter is a service that interacts with the Windows Volume Shadow Copy service to ensure that backups see files in a consistent state.

I've setup a Service Broker on one of databases to automatically pick up stored procedures in a specific schema (Build) and run them on a daily basis. So far everything has been running fine, however we've now got a need where we need to access a remote sql server which is running SQL Server 2017 and has the latest Machine Learning Service installed.
I've given the service account that runs the primary SQL Server (SQL 2016) access on the remote server, and ensured the Service Broker is executing under the service account, rather than the local SQL account (sa).
Whenever we try to access the remote server, we are getting the following error:
Linked servers cannot be used under impersonation without a mapping
for the impersonated login.
I've tried adding an EXECUTE AS to the process, however this doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also ensured it is running under the service account, and it is.
I can get it to work using a mapped login on the linked server, however this isn't ideal, as we don't want to run the sql server in mixed authentication as this has been determined as an IT risk.
I've run out of ideas or what I can do here, and can't find any other help pieces with this same problem. I did want to roll this process out to more of our warehouse builds, however this is a deal breaker at this stage.
help?
We are developing a small application that needs to have a local database installed on each users computer that will then sync up to the main database, via web services etc...
Anyways when we deploy the application on the users computer we want to use clickonce deployment. Now I have used this before but not attaching a SQL Server database. I know you can go to prerequisites in clickonce properties and click SQL Server Express.
Now the question is, when you have created your .mdf database file including stored procedures and all - how do you get this attached and setup automatically in the local database that is just installed through clickonce?
Also once this is finished in the future we may want to run updates to the database on the clients machines. We would like to use clickonce for this to publish database updates. Obviously we don't want to overwrite the database and just publish the latest updates based on if they already have the database or not and what version they have.
How could this be achieved using clickonce? Thanks
I had a engineer design our .net application back in 2009, my guess is that it was coded using visual studio, and all I have is the installer application. We have been using it on our 1 or 2 local client machines very well for the past few years, but now I want to move this front end to the cloud. Instead of installing it as an application on our windows 7 machines.
It is a very simple application used in our small warehouse that keeps track of cargo/shipments etc. It uses Sql Server 2008 Express as a backend which is stored locally.
I know how to get the database in the cloud, their are many options for that, using Amazon or Azure, but how do i get the local client application to the cloud?
I dont have access to the visual studio code, i just have the runtime executable file..
I am sure there is no way to do this, and many of SO users will say i need to re-write the front end.
I have tried to contact the developer and they hav since closed down. Is their anyway i can run this in the cloud?
I welcome all options and solutions!
Thanks.
I believe you have two options for hosting this application:
If you are able to configure the database connection string, you could host the database in the cloud, and distribute the application to your end users. However, you've already stated that you know how to move the database, so I assume this isn't an option.
The only alternative is to run the entire application on a cloud server, and send the user interface to a client using terminal services. This makes it appear as if the application is running locally on the user's computer, while it is actually running on the server.
For an off-the-shelf solution to achieve this, you could consider using Microsoft's RemoteApp Azure service. I'm sure there are other similar offerings available.
There is a WCF service which is running under IIS. This service accesses the files in its folder, it accesses a SQL Server database and it writes messages to the EventLog.
The deployment platform is Windows Server 2008 in some datacenter. I developed the service, but I'm really still a beginner.
The deployment will causes the creation of a new Windows user account and, possibly, a role that is assigned to that user. This is needed to start the service from a separate account with strictly defined rights (as I understand, this approach is recommended, but not to start the service from NT Service account).
Obviously, the deployment needs to run scripts to create database, tables, scheduling of tasks.
What tools could you advice to accomplish such a deployment? Maybe I can use the standard Setup Project? Or some third-party tools such as WiX Toolset? Should I use PowerShell to create windows user account and role?
There is also a question: should I pull the prerequisites, such as .NET framework installer, SQL Server installer?
You can rely on Windows installer using tools like WIX, InstallShield or Advanced Installer. WIX is the only free one albeit it has a higher learner curve. There are other free windows installation software solutions available as well such as NSIS. You can also write your own scripts such as in Powershell to create the IIS virtual directory, application pool and connect to the RDBMS to create the schema. You'll probably also would like to have an undeployment solution so you can uninstall it and upgrade it in the future. The Windows installer based tools almost gives you uninstall for free because it maintains a database of everything that was done during installation sans the custom actions you write such as the database schema setup.
For the user configuration part, some of these tools such as Advanced Installer can create new user accounts. However to define user rights assignment you might have to rely on a custom script using ntrights.exe from the Windows resource kit.
As of my knowledge there is no automated deployment tool available for WCF because its require lots of manual configuration.
But you can try Octopus for .NET applications

Simple problem. I'm working on a Delphi 2007/WIN32 application which now uses MS Access as simple data store. I have to modify it to support SQL Server Express, which is easy. These modifications are working so the application can be deployed using either SQL Server or MS Access. (Whatever the user prefers.) I did consider deploying the whole application together with the SQL Compact but this is not practicak. Using SQL Server Express 2008 instead of 2005 is an option, but also has a few nasty side-effects which we don't want to resolve for now.
The problem is deploying the whole project. The installation with SQL Server would need a quiet installation so the user won't notice it. SQL Server is mentioned in the documentation so they know it's there. We just don't want to bother them with technical issues. In most cases, such an installation will go just fine.
But what if the user already has an SQL Server (2005) installation which is used for something else? Personally, I would prefer to just install a second instance of SQL Server on their system so it won't conflict with the other installation. (Thus, if they uninstall the other app, the SQL instance will just stay installed.)
While SQL Server 2005 and 2008 can be installed on the same system simply by using two different names for the instance, I wonder if it's also possible to install SQL Server 2005 twice on a single system to get two instances. And if possible, how?
To answer your question: yes SQL2005/SQL2008 and SQLExpress2005/2008 can all live happily side by side. The default instance name for the SQLExpress install is [machine name]\SQLEXPRESS. But having said that, you should consider giving your customer the option to use the sql instance they already have, and only install a new instance if they choose to.
I don't know if SQLExpress can be installed silently (most likely it can as long as you specify the right properties on the command line when you install it). But we have rolled it out to lots of customers, and they have very few issues installing it normally.
Edit: I have added this as an edit because a comment doesn't allow enough.
I understand your reluctance to both having the user install SQL manually, and to sharing another instance. To address these points:
uninstalling a product should never automatically uninstall the SQL instance, even if that SQL instance was put there when installing that product. By all means the database can be blown away, but uninstalling a SQL instance should be a manual process, as it is a server product that may be used by many other products
you can make your task a lot easier by using a decent installer product. For instance, we use InstallShield. It has a sql browse dialog built in (its a baked in feature of InstallShield) that the user can use to select which sql instance and database they want to use for our product. The details the user enters are then inserted in to the web.config file using an XML file change task (also functionality baked into InstallShield). By using dialogs like this you eliminate a lot of potential user errors.
if there is already an existing sql instance, use it. The only dependence your database should have on the instance is that it is the right version (i.e. SQL2005, and 2008 is fine for a 2005 database). The only time you should demand your own instance is if you are processing/storing enough data that you require your own server, or if you are depending upon undocumented features. If the existing instance is already under heavy load, then insisting on a new instance on a different server is fine, but then you have also avoided that whole side-by-side situation. Alternatively you could just install in to the existing instance and get the customer to commit to upgrading the hardware.
I hope this helps somewhat - i'm just trying to persuade you that there are limited reasons for needing a separate instance and that 99% of the time you will be fine installing in to an existing instance. It's nice to have your own instance but in reality it brings you few real benefits, especially if you are using a robust installer.
You can install SQL Server Express in silent mode using the /Q command line switch or use the /QS command line switch to see setup progress without user input. You can install a named instance on a system that already has SQL Server installed.

There are a number of reasons why it is very useful to have your own instance of an SQL Server.
You can decide for yourself what type of authentication you use (SQL authentication or Windows authentication). Although Windows authentication is recommended, scenario's exist where this is simply not an option. And enabling SQL authentication for an instance where other products use the same instance is a security risk.
You can safely assume that your product is the only user of the installed instance. So with installing and uninstalling the instance you know the version and databases in use by that instance. No extra detection needed, as long as different versions of your product use the same SQL configuration and version.
Isolation of your installments (files, registry keys, dll's and other products) is a very good practice!
Also, uninstalling an SQL Server instance doesn't lead to data loss, because the data files of the databases will not be removed. After reinstalling, you can attach the data files again if needed.
that being said, SQL Server express can be installed in three different interaction modes:
Full UI, including SQL license agreement acceptance
Silent, but with detailed progress UI
Silent, without any progress UI (and suppressed errors!)
