First off, let’s explain a little about the common situation that this “how to” is targeted towards. FoxPro 2.x was a big part of many applications in the early 90’s and those applications ran/run just fine. However, compared to SQL Server 2000, or any other modern DBMS, it’s a joke.
Windows 2000 Server Security Templates
Ok, you have that shiny new, freshly installed server up and running. You are about ready to deploy it, but you are concerned about security. Judging by today’s political climate, this is a concern that affects many system administrators, now more than ever.
Learning ASP Series – Installing Personal Web Server
Welcome to the first chapter of your Basic ASP Learning Series.
Bringing SQL Server Data into Client as XML Data Islands
One of the most frustrating things to me is seeing developers doing new things, but in “old” ways. A classic example is one you may have seen yourself: Here we have a sophisticated client – side application that runs in Internet Explorer, we use XML Data Islands and XSLT transforms and parameters, templates, and we even use XMLHTTP from the client. And along with this we may have page upon page that needs to get a recordset from SQL Server – sometimes many recordsets, and bring them into the page as XML so we can do all our “new kind of cool stuff” with it. Well, that’s great.
Oracle vs. SQL Server – an Issue of Complexity
Software is only as complicated as its developers make it.
It seems like a very profound sentence but it is so true and it is relevant to all commercial software that I know of. Let’s take a test case of a certain piece of software most of us have probably encountered.
Web Services – server to server with soap
We just recently opted to make EggHeadCafe.com’s content library available via a web service. This would allow other web sites to include our links and potentially generate more traffic to the site. So, we needed an efficient way to allow others to access our data with the least amount of strain on our servers. Naturally, the topic of using a SOAP web service came up and turned out to be the most logical choice.
how to run an asp page with parameters from sql server
Usually we use an ASP page with Javascript or VBScript inside it to either get data from, or put data into SQL Server. However, from time to time you wish you could run that favorite, most useful ASP page that you’ve written that does all those great things and instead have something that happens in SQL Server cause the call to the page.

Building a Customizable Server-Side Cached Scrolling XML Newsfeed Display
At EggheadCafe.com, we have resources that are added on a daily basis – both by member visitors and by the staff. These resources are searchable and are broken down by categories such as Hotlinks, Articles, Tips & Tricks, etc. Each evening , we have a script that’s kicked off by the NT Scheduler service at a time when traffic is normally low, that scours our resource database for the most recent items in each category.
Check Your Server!
Do you use your own virtual server to send out your magazine? I do. Be warned, I have discovered bad things that can happen when you don’t check your server before you send to your list.
