We are currently working with content database processes running over SQL Server 2008. To make a new feature for automation purposes we need to raise a POST method of an internal web application URL ( the app just get our code from team foundation and build projects on a remote server) from T-SQL code.
Is there any way to do that?
Any help will be really appreciated.
#jcolebrand: your approach to create a CLR stored procedure and make it available on the server to raise the POST method was the solution for my problem. Thanks.
Here is what I did:
Created the CLR stored procedure on VS over 3.5 net framework. To create this kind of projects go to Add New Project... > Other Project Types > Database and give a proper name.
Went to the database, set the database "Owner" property to "sa" user.
Set "TRUSTWORTHY" property to "ON" on the target database.
Deployed the CLR stored procedure with PERMISSION LEVEL : EXTERNAL
Hope this answer helps others too.
Don hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
Thanks all for responding!
I have to say that I agree with the others on this one... create a CLR procedure, .NET code, PowerShell or something else that can be called.
But if it has to come from T-SQL.
You could (shuddering).. do and XP_CMDSHELL and then call CURL to do the post.
A good example is located here.
And if you need to format the curl command there are great resources out on the web such as this one.
Good luck on this one but please note on the permissions and outright dangers of using of xp_cmdshell!!

I want to create a new schema in SSMS with the Schema - New dialog box but I can't find how.
I know it's supposed to open when I right click on the Databases/xyz/Security/Schemas folder in the Object Explorer and select New Schema... but all I get is a query to create it.
I just started an edX course called Developing SQL Databases, there are no instructions there concerning the SSMS settings, the only instructions say that I should be able to get the Schema - New dialog box. I asked there in the discussion but nobody replies, actually there's no activity there whatsoever so probably nobody even knows I asked.
I did google it but the only relevant results I found say the same thing, right-click, New Schema... and the dialog box opens. But it doesn't.
So, what am I missing?
Expand the database in the Object Explorer, and right-click the Security folder, then select "New" (the Security folder under the database, NOT the Security folder under the server).
I realize your question is how to do this in SSMS, but the tsql code for this is only five words.
create schema MyNewSchema authorization dbo;
That seems much simpler to me.
Be sure you are searching in a right folder.
the security folder is under the database , not under the server.
as next screenshot:-
UPDATE:-
This issue is repeated here, and the soluation was the following:-
Full uninstall Manual
deletion of all MSSQL-folders in
AppData{Local|Roaming}
Reinstall
Checking for any updates
and everything is as expected, so try these steps.
I am creating a database with Entity Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010.
I am fine with the first steps - I am going model first, so I successfully created the model and now there is a valid .edmx file in my solution.
My goal is the following: I want to generate the database and add it to the solution so I can give the solution to another person and they will be able to build it and run it - I do not want the database connection be dependent on any of my local settings, and I do not want them to have the need to recreate the database, it will have some 'seed data' in it. That should be possible, I saw similar solutions.
I would appreciate advice on how to do that.
Use SQL Server Express and put database files to App_Data directory (for web application) or make them solution items copied to output for other application. Change connection string to attach the file - it should look something like:
AttachDbFileName=|DataDirectory|\YourDB.mdf;Initial Catalog=YourDB;Integrated Security=SSPI
I would like to write a sqlserver stored procedure that calls a web page, but I cant figure out how to do this.
Does anyone have an example?
Thanks
The easiest way is if you are using CLR integration
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3821271/Calling-a-Web-Service-from-within-SQL-Server.htm
I think this is a very bad design to run external programs from SQL Server
However, you could use extended procedure xp_cmdshell to open a web browser with parameter.
EXEC xp_cmdshell
'"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.bing.com'
Be aware that it will execute Internet Explorer on the db server. I am not sure if it is what you want. It will also block the rest of the script from running until the IE process is killed.
Short of using a CLR Stored Procedure, I think you're out of luck.
I would also question what you're doing with the markup you get back from fetching the web page....
SQL CLR is the easiest way to perform and HTTP Get request from a SQL Server stored procedure, as noted by other responses to this question. If you want something more robust, I would recommend you take a look at the Service Broker External Activator.
I am a software developer with devlopment experience in C#, C++ .Net alongwith SQL Server 2005/08, Oracle and mysql. But somehow i dont get jBASE to work at Windows XP SP3 machine.
My goal is setup user accounts, create database on a JBASE ainstallation, authenticate and backup/restore few table via a C++ program. And i dont need to do it with builtin backup/restore tools of jBASE.
I am able to install jBASe 4.1 aling with all its accessories on my WINXPSP3 machine. I was able to run the jSlimserver and TEMENOUS server along with licnesing server. I was able to add the license key as well. But after that what i was supposed to do? i have no idea about it.
The docs and online help doesnt answer a simple question of how to create a database! The google search results from the jbase site all go to the 404 Pages!
Can a jBASE expert guide to the following steps:
Create a jBASE database.
Create users
Authenticate via those users
Connect to database
Create tables and insert data.
Connect via a C++ or C# program to connect to jBASE DB and backup/restore tables.
I know that this is too much too ask but i dont get to get the JBASE system. I cant get it to work on my System somehow. Btw, jdc and jexloree doesnt seem to do anything. I have checked that enironmental variables for jBASE are setup correctly and i have verified them. There are no extra JRE or JDK installations on my system. Besides all that, only licensing client, slim server and temenous server seem to run and listen for connections and no other execuatable ever seems to work.
A simple tutorial to achieve the objective will be highly appreciated. Also if anyone can point out the mistake that i have done or anything i might need to check, then please do so. I will be highly encouraged and obliged.
Thanks
Steve
I hope this will help, if you have not already found a why to do this.
Setup jBase User and Database
Create a Security Group called
'Jbase' or what every you want to
call it
Add a User to this group. I would
recommend adding your administrator
user to it as well
Create a folder in you file system
to save the database information
into
Assign the 'Jbase' Security group to
the folder, and give it "Full"
read/write/execute access.
Creating the database:
Make sure the current users you
are logged on with is the 'Jbase'
security group.
go to the command prompt, and CD
to the folder you create to store
the database
run the jShell 'jsh' from that
location
use CREATE-FILE to create the
files/tables you want to store your
information in.
Inserting data:
There are several ways to enter data. You can use ED, your can your programming environment, or you can create a quick MultiValue/jBase compiled server script to ask for the data and write them to a file/table.
After I uploaded my application created using cakephp, I found out that I had to rename the database. I renamed my database accordingly and changed the settings in the database.php file in the "config" folder. But my application is still not running.
I am being shown this error message
"Missing Database table"
"Error: Database table tbl_topics for model Topic was not found."
I have double checked the existence of tbl_topics in the database (it is there in the database) but the application says "table not found"
what might be the problem, please help me out...
Make sure the host/user/pass that you've set-up in the config.php file have access to that database and table
You could also try running cake schema generate --dry which will spit back any problems with the connection that you might be having
Also have a look in your app/tmp/logs for some extra information on the problems you are experiencing
Take the username and password you are using for cakephp and it's db connection and connect to the database from the command line. I'm presuming you are using a unix-type system and mysql?
mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name
...and then try to run a simple select:
SELECT * FROM tbl_topics
If you get an error there, it will at least identify that it is a low level db problem and the likely solution is that you need to grant permissions to that username to select from that database. Your current access levels for that user is probably granting access to the db under the old name.
You have probably uploaded your cache files as well. Make sure you delete all the files in /app/tmp/cache/*
Warning: Don't delete the folders, files only!
Also, make sure your tmp folder and all the subfolders are world-writable.
One last thought would be to check your model cache. I don't know why that would impact you with respect to connecting, but it's worth taking a look in app/tmp/cache.
:-)
finally got it.... :-D
I forgot to assign the user access to my application's database on main server. After assigning the permissions all went fine.
Anyways thank you all for your valuable answers... It helped me gain some additional knowledge about cakephp.
