In Microsoft SQL Server, there are a number of services, ports, and connections that can be configured to control the amount of area (surface area) is exposed. Starting with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (including Express), there is a Configuration tool called SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration. ]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/04/sql-server-surface-area/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/64-bit-oracle-smarteam/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/64-bit-oracle-smarteam/#comments Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:00:35 +0000 Steve Dunn http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6653 The population of 64-bit PCs has steadily increased since their mainstream introduction in 2003, and ENOVIA SmarTeam has supported the use of 64-bit machines since V5R18 SP1.  However, saying that a client-server application supports 64-bit machines can mean a number of different things.  Let’s take a closer look at how 64-bit Oracle is supported in an ENOVIA [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/64-bit-oracle-smarteam/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/troubleshooting-est-client/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/troubleshooting-est-client/#comments Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:08:42 +0000 Steve Dunn http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6374 ENOVIA SmarTeam’s client-server architecture relies on several key connections for successful client operation.  When one of these connections is blocked or otherwise unavailable, the client will be unable to login to SmarTeam.  Fortunately, most client connection problems can be quickly identified.  Read on to learn more about a few common issues and tips on resolving [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/troubleshooting-est-client/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/moving-sql-databases/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/moving-sql-databases/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:00:46 +0000 Sean Kuner http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6234 If you’ve ever tried to pack up and move a SQL Server database from one computer to another, you’ve probably noticed that the permissions and users won’t line up between the two machines.  Even if you create accounts with the same usernames on the target machine, the users from one SQL Server are not recognized by the [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/moving-sql-databases/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/reset-id-in-sql/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/reset-id-in-sql/#comments Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:55:48 +0000 Paul Gimbel http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=5696 Part numbers, quotation numbers, item numbers, revisions, serial numbers…they’re all sequential values that need to be unique, and need to be tracked. In most cases (Design Automation, Product Data Management, CRM, etc.) this means the creation of a database table to hand out and track these identifying numbers and their related data.

It looks, smells, and tastes like a comfortable Excel spreadsheet. But once you get past the wonderful interface, you find out that as databases go, Access really isn’t up to the power demanded by most applications.

One of the most common tasks for database output is the automation of part and quotation numbers. But there's a catch.
