How to prevent SQL Timeout expired in Microsoft Dynamics CRM:

One of the problems when working with CRM and SQL is when making a complex Select/Query CRM get SQL time out.

The solution is define timeout in register.

1. Open regedit ( start - > write ( regedit) ) and press ok

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM

3. Add DWORD name OLEDBTimeout with value 86400 ( 24 hours) select decimal

4. Add DWORD name ExtendedTimeout with value 1000000. The maximum value can be 2,147,483,647 and the default value is 30 seconds

This changes in register should fix the SQL timeout.

What is the property deletionstatecode ?

How can I remove from crm database record and not with delete command?

Each entity in CRM 4.0 includes two tables, base and extension.
In base table the columns are the same. statecode,guid,createdon...

One of the columns is deletationstatecode.

Deletionstatecode define if record is live in CRM or should be deleted.

Deletionstatecode = 0 record exist and live in CRM
Deletionstatecode = 2 record should e removed.

One of the services responsoble to remove all the record where deletionstatecode =2.
The if I need to remove many records in crm direct from database change the deletionstatecode to 2 and record will be removed after job finished.

Thanks,
