Hi,
I just upgraded to SQL server 2005 and some of my Openrowset to Oracle doesnt work. I found out that the issue occur with field with structure Numeric.
The issue is not solve even when I try to cast the field to varchar. sometimes it succeeded and sometimes I get error 7320 & 7321.
I'm using Oracle connector from SQL to Oracle.
I've 64 bit SQL Server.
Attach the code, the Numeric field is SCORE.
select *
FROM
OPENROWSET('ORAOLEDB.ORACLE',aaaa;bbbb;cccc,
'SELECT AUDIT_OPRID, AUDIT_STAMP, AUDIT_ACTN,EMPLID, ACCOMPLISHMENT, MAJOR_CODE,
CAST(SCORE AS Varchar(250))
FROM SYSADM.PS_RTA_ACCOMPLISHM WHERE 1=2')
Anyone can advice on resolution?
Thanks,
Assaf

While installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on Windows Vista Ultimate
the setup alerts me "there are known compatibility problems, please
install SP2 after this". So ok, all went nice and installed without error.
IIS 7 installed fully, so all green in setup display.
(But after installation i do not see any service which begins with SQL***...)
At the end, the setup wanted to start the administration Tool.
Ok, but my name was not listed, so i could not add me to the permitted users.
I can not use any tool, because i have no rights.
Some Ideas?
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services-Clienttools 2005.090.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)

P.S. When I say return i mean the value that is shown after 'select @uz_id' is executed:)

Hi,
I have an issue. When I am performing a Merge Join using two fields of type
DT_WSTR on both sides of the Join, the Dataviewer after the Join only shows the left side 2 key
fields having values populated but both fields from the right hand side as being NULL. The Dataviewers I put in before the join show both sides of the join fields being populated ( 2 sides x 2 fields ). If I remove one of the fields from the join it shows both fields from the left side and the right side of the join being populated . I am trying to knock out duplicate values from the insert using 'genuine' Nulls from the right hand side so I need both parts of the 'Key'. I have checked the adnvanced tab that ignores Case etc but has had no effect.
I am using the technique from here : http://www.sqlis.com/311.aspx
Is this an SSIS bug ??? It is driving me up the wall.
Help would be much appreciated please.
Thanks
Jon

hi, i hope this is the correct forum?i have developed a small asp.net 2.0 web site with vwd using sqlExpress which appears to just bean data file and a log file in my app_data directory. there are two databases, the users one that is created by the login manager and my own that i created to store data. this all works fine on my laptop. i have an xp-pro machine setup with IIS and the frontpage web extentions, i have also installed the .net framework v2.0 on it and done all the windows updates. i have given app_data read/write access for the aspnet and network service users.i used the copy site feature of vwd to install on the xp box and although the site seems to workwhen it needs to bind a gridview to my sqldatasource it gives an error Cannot open user default database. login failed.Loginfailed for user 'rlxpaspnet'Any ideas? i have googled and tried all sorts, but to no avail, so i throw my self on your mercy!Cheers,russ

Hello all!
I've a problem with my database. Till yesterday the option for Auto Grow of Database (10 %) was working very fine, but now it seems to be some problems with it. Finally I had to specify a restricted size for the database and then it again startd to give me some space in the database to write in. Ideally it should have worked automatically, isnt it ???
There is no problem with the space on the drive, I still have some 76 gb of free space there ...
Thanks in advance ...

Hello, I tried this and it doesnt work, I just started up the service with -T flag on default instance but I havent been able to start it with -T flag 1400 on named instances.
How can I Know that the directory MSSQL.4 is the MIRROR instance??
C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinn>sqlservr.exe -T
1400 MIRROR
I tried LUCHOMIRROR, MSSQLSERVER$MIRROR
and It doesnt work
Thanks
Another question I have, in the documentation it says that mirroring is only for evaluation purposes and not for production environments, what does it suppose to mean? MSFT didnt test the mirroring feature enough? If its not suppoerted why its included..?
Microsoft support policies do not apply to the database mirroring feature in SQL Server 2005. Database mirroring is currently disabled by default, but may be enabled for evaluation purposes only by using trace flag 1400 as a startup parameter. (For more information about trace flags, see Trace Flags (Transact-SQL).) Database mirroring should not be used in production environments, and Microsoft support services will not support databases or applications that use database mirroring. Database mirroring documentation is included in SQL Server 2005 for evaluation purposes only, and the Documentation Policy for SQL Server 2005 Support and Upgrade does not apply to the database mirroring documentation.

Hello everybody,
have following problem:
I need info from 2 Tables. from the Table 2 I just need 1 column. When i ask for this column the output I get is data repeating themselve many times.
Distinct, should give me unique data, but is doesnt....
the code:
SELECT DISTINCT FSenddate, FSupplyIDName, FSupplyerNumber,FBillNo,FSourceBillNo,FItemName,FItemModel,
FAuxQty,FAuxTaxPrice,FHeadSelfP0237
FROM vwICBill_26
WHERE FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
This code just works in Table1 (vwICBill_26)
but with table 2 (vwICBill_1)
SELECT DISTINCT vwICBill_26.FSenddate,vwICBill_26.FSupplyIDName,
vwICBill_26.FSupplyerNumber,vwICBill_26.FBillNo,
vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo,vwICBill_26.FItemName,
vwICBill_26.FItemModel,vwICBill_26.FAuxQty,
vwICBill_26.FAuxTaxPrice,vwICBill_26.FHeadSelfP0237,
vwICBill_1.FDate,vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo
FROM vwICBill_26,vwICBill_1
WHERE vwICBill_26.FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo=vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo
The last sentence is the problem
I want that it shows me the data that is not equal.
As soon as I implement the not equal it shows me the massive repeating data.
I mean even without the last sentence I get this data output.
All together, I want a clear database output without data repeating.
Any ideas how it may work without DISTINCT?
I think this problem is a typical amateure problem, but I would apreciate help!

I am having the same problems as those in another post. SSIS package works fine when executed in BIDS and through execute package utility but it doesnt work when executed as a step in a job.
The other problem is that the logging also doesnt work when i try executing it as a job. So I have no clue about what to do without knowing what error it is. When I run the job it simply says the step has failed.
I have tried most of the solutions posted in other websites most of them to do with using proxies with credentials but havent hit a solution. I would love to get any input on what to do.
Thanks

in both vs2008 I added a ReportViewer control to my WinForm, intending to render an RS 2005 report remotely. In the design pane (Report Viewer Tasks Popup) I specify <server report>,
URL http://server name/reportserver$instance name
path /folder/report name
and everything is fine.
When I set these values in c# as
reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;
reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://server name/reportserver$instance name");
reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/folder/report name";
I started getting a msg saying "the source of the report definition has not been specified". If I hit refresh, the report renders. Before I started playing with the designer setting, and only had the c# stuff specified, I wouldnt even get the message, the control would appear with all RS buttons (eg page forward arrow etc) disabled.
Does anybody know why the message is appearing and how to get c#'s settings to work immediately like designer settings?

Im having a prob with enterprise manager and im hoping that you can help.
my host has moved my sql database to another server. They gave me a new IP address, but they said that I have to connect through a certain port through enterprise manager. That port is 1042 not the default 1433.
So, I created a new sql server registration using the ip address. it didnt connect, of course. I went ahead and told EM to keep the registration even though it wasnt completed. I heard that you can right click on the node on the left and choose properties to change the port number. Well every time that I right click on the bugger, it tries to connect to the sql database, not give me a choice of properties to change.
I also highlighted the thing and chose properties from the toolbar at the top. Still nothing. The only thing I do get is an option to type in the username/password. There is NO PLACE to change the port.
I even tried going into the registry and changing the default port of 1433 to 1042. NOTHING. EM still craps out and tells me the connection failed due to the db not being there or the connection was refused.
How do I get this thing to connect to the sql server?
Also, is there another program that will do what Entreprise Manager does, but isn't such a piece of......?

Hi All,
This is reletaed to SQL Server 2005.
I have a backup file that does not have any .bak extension and I am trying to restore it against a already existing DB. Thats the first time I am dealing with a backup that does not have a .bak extension and I dont know how to restore it.
The .bak backups are easy to restore and I restore it in SQL 2005 managment studio with the following steps;
a) I right clicking on the existing database (where I want it to be restored) and b) then click Tasks , c) click Restore, and d) click Database, and e) then in the restore database window click 'From device', f) then click '...' to browse and g) click add to browse and add the backup file to be restored.
I am doing the above steps for the non .bak extension backup file but I am unable tio add the file?
In SQL 2005 managment studio how can I restore a backup (that doesn't have .bak extension) against a exsisting database?
Please help.
Thanks a million.

Can i restore a diff. backup alone without a complete backup?
(what i am trying is this.....there are two different servers at two diff. places....i need to have both servers in sync. at all times.modifications will take place in one server and the modifications have to be reflected in the other server.i could not go for replication as the servers cannot be connected.sending complete backups daily will be a overhead .hence planning to take complete backup once and send diff. backups alone on subsequent days to the other server.
how can i achieve this?)

Dear all
I am new to the MS SQL, my problem is as follows.
I am having a online database on sql 2k.
every 15 days we have to give payout from our system, so we
have a offline server in our office, we take the complete backup of that day & restore the same on the offline server,
& start the payout process.
The problem is that the full backup is a big file & take a lot of time for downloading from online server.
is it possible that we take on diff. backup of that day & will restore the same on the offline server so the file will take less time to download.
but my offline backup is 15 days old, will that update all the records or not?
regards
Abhijit

Friends,
I have taken backup of a database, of which Data (MDF) & Log (LDF) files are located on "E:...." directory.
Now, I am using the same backup file to restore on another PC which is having no partitions at all. I mean now I have to restore the database using same backup file, of which Data & Log files should be located on "C:...." directory only, as it has no partitions.
This restore process gives me error :
Restore failed for Server 'HSVMMICROFIT'.
Details : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:Program FilesMicroFitHealthStar v6.0 Server EditionDataMICROFIT_HealthStar_Data.mdf'.
What is to be done, in order to restore the database from the same back up file successfully, regardless whether the original physical location of the MDF & LDF file, is existing on current PC ??????????????
Please try to solve the same for me.... W8ing...

SQL Server 2000 sp3 Enterprise (8.00.818) running on W2K Adv Server cluster.
DB's and backups resided on a fibre SAN attached IBM FAStT 500 storage controller.
I had problems with random restore failures, getting errors such as "3270 Internal Consistency Error" on log restores or on full restores after reporting problems with some of the files. This was fixed (we thought) by disabling the read caching on the FAStT 500 storage controller, per Microsoft's recommendation.
We have a custom-written log shipping solution that maintains a 2nd copy of our user DB on the same system, so there's 700+ backups/restores of various types in the course of a week. After two months of error-free operation, we just got another Internal Consistency Error, but this time on a differential restore, which was a first. Looking back, we realized we were running a DBCC INDEXDEFRAG command on the source DB at the time the differential backup was running. Taking a new differential and using it in the restore sequence worked fine, so clearly the problem was in the first diff backup file.
Anybody else noticed any problems with running DBCC INDEXDEFRAG at the same time as a differntial backup?
