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.
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0 I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance. Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance. So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default instance Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
i am new at T-SQL and am trying to delete entries in a column that are not integers. i have the following code. why does it not work.
T-SQL
select invoicenumber from [control register] where convert(int, invoicenumber) like '%' if @@error > 0 begin delete from [control register] where invoicenumber = invoicenumber end go
gives me the error in Query analyser:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '10-3-05' to a column of data type int.
@@error is supposed to pick up the error. why is it not.
please could you reply urgently at chris@captivedesign.co.za
can someone tell me why this sql statement doesnt work?
SQL = "SELECT (Count(department_id) as 'totals' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '7'),(Count(department_id) as 'totals2' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '1') FROM nonconformance"
Can someone tell me why this thing in the end return Null?
declare @uz_id uniqueidentifier set @uz_id=null set @uz_id= case @Uz_ID when null then '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' else @Uz_ID end select @uz_id
...it should return '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' in my opintion
P.S. When I say return i mean the value that is shown after 'select @uz_id' is executed:)

I have the following in my commandtext but it doesnt seem to replace the LanguageColumnName variable: Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT '+@LanguageColumnName+' FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCode", MyConnection) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@UserCode", UserCode)) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LanguageColumnName", LanguageColumnName))I have tried '+@LanguageColumnName+' and also just @LanguageColumnName but this variable isnt replaced for some reason.The value of LanguageColumnName is "de"...the funny thing is that when I just type my command like the following it DOES work..:SELECT de FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCodeWhat am I doing wrong?

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.
HI All,I have started sqlserver in single user mode and changed filename in sysaltfiles for tempdb too point to new location. While starting sqlserver in normal it points to the old path and doesnt get updated with the new path.1.)is there any systable still to be altered???2.) i have even tried alter database, doesnt work.3.)The master files have been taken from server1 (where tempdb points to d:data) to server2 ( where i need to point tempdb to point E:mssqldata). i can detach and attach msdb and model successfully, but in the case of tempdb, i cant either alter sysaltfiles or detach and attach tempdb to new path., too tired in trying all the possiblities... Is there any possibility to update tempdb to point to new path???
i've made a report containing a subreport. the subreport is in a table. the table headers should repeat. but if the subreport expands more than one site, the table header doesnt repeat.
okay. i could place the table header in report header, but in report header i cant use fields from a dateset.
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
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 ...
We have a vendor product that can only handle up to 18 characters for the server name and the instance name (we did not know this when we created the named instance) and of course our combined name is 19 characters, so it trys to pass the 18 charater name and then fails with the following error:
[LOG] Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The data area passed to a system call is too small)
So, can i rename the instance, or do i have to create a new named instance?
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.

Informatica jobs were erroring out with a sql server driver error while connecting to a named instance in SQL Server. The issue was because in sql server named instance, the port was allocated dynamically and Informatica 7.1.4 (provides 4.21 version of Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server) which dont have support for named instances with dynamic port allocation. This feature is only present from version 5 of the Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server To fix this issue, I need to allocate the port for the named instance instead of getting it dynamically. My questions 1) Whats the impact of doing a port allocation for the named instance on the existing environment. 2) Is there any issues which we can foresee in the applications 3) Things which i need to be aware of Thanks in advance sreenath
We are using a system that has uses four instances. On each client to the server we used the ODBC settings to connect to the different instances. We have since reinstalled the server, and now we are unable to find or 'see' any of the databases, except for locally.
E.g. The first database we install is named Foo, with database Bar. It is set up on port 1433. The second named instance is Foo2, with database Bar2. It is set up on a dynamic port.
We now try to connect to the database with ODBC. We connect to SERVERFOO, and then select the BAR db. It works fine. We then try to connect to the database SERVERFoo2, it lets us in, and then all we can select is the BAR db. I don't know what is causing this. We never before had to edit the settings in the client config for the odbc settings (e.g. to set manually to TCP port 1433) and I have checked the sql config manager to ensure that tcpip settings are allowed and will "ListenAll".
What more do we need to do? I think the browser should be installed, but my collegue disagrees.
Any ideas as to why we can only see the database referenced to 1433 port, and why no other port works, when we never had to do that before?
Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express€¦ In converting a program from VS03/MSDE, long ago I installed SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and everything was fine. Windows Update has recently been failing to install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2. After no answers from the forums, and logs that were of no help, I decided to uninstall SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and reinstall SQL 2005 Express (basic version). As a test run, I did it on a desk top, no problems what so ever. However, on my laptop, it has been a nightmare.
Question 1) in control panel, add/remove programs, all of SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services uninstalled fine except one item - I am unable to uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility, getting the error message A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:windowsinstallersqlserver2005_bc.msi That file is not on the hard disk. After installing SQL 2005 Express (the basic version), this problem persists and I cannot uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility for the same reason. How can I get rid of MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility?
Question 2) Windows update still is trying to download and install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2, even though I have uninstalled it. How to manually get rid of whatever settings are triggering this?
I have a server computer named 'X' and I would like to install 2 instances of SQL Server 2005
1. SQLTEST
2. SQLDEV
During installation. if I select Default instance then it will name my sql server instance X . I don't want that. I want to have essentially 2 named instances to make it clear to the users that they are using a test and dev sql server. Whats the best way to do this? I am open to suggestions if there is a different way to do this.
Is it required to have a default instance? Can I have 2 named instances XSQLDEV and XSQLTEST?
Also, on the SQLTEST I will be installing reporting services. By not having a default instance will it cause issues for the SSRS installation.
I'm struggling a little with this. I hope someone can help.
Ho do i install SQL Server 2005 Express so i can connect to it with "localhost", not "<MACHINE_NAME>/SQLEXPRESS". I cant seem to find any obvious setting in setup.
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
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?
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.
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?

I am using robocopy to copy my sql server backups to a fileshare. This is working great except for named instances.I use Ola Hallegren's backups which create a folder called xxxx$xxxx. Robocopy can't seem to handle the $.
We've read about a single installation of SSIS applies to all SQL instances on a server. We've also read how by default SQL Server stores SSIS packages in the MSDB database on the default instance and if you want to have packages stored on a named instance you must modify msdtssrvr.ini.xml. Here are our questions.
1 - If msdtssrvr is modified to reference a named instance, such as <ServerName>SQLTESTINST1<ServerName>, when I connect to Integration Services through Management Studio do I still specify the default instance name in the login window? That's the only way we have been able to connect and despite specifying the default instance name, the packages displayed are those of the named instance.
2 - If I am correct that you must always specify the default instance name when connecting to Integration Services, then in order to eliminate confusion regarding what SQL instance's SSIS packages I am viewing under the folder structure I can create SQL Server folders by modifying msdtssrvr.ini.xml. For example:
I then restart the SSIS service and can now see the following folder structure.
Running Packages Stored Packages
+ File System + MSDB + MSDB-INST1 + MSDB-INST2
If I expand MSDB-INST1 I will only see packages saved on the instance named INST1. The same is true for INST2. If I expand MSDB I will only see packages saved on the default instance.
