When creating a connection string in ADO (using Delphi7), I insert the provider like this:
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=sa;Password=masterkey
Now, when I try to run this on a SQL Server 2005 or SQL2005 Express database, it won't create the connection
unless I use the SQLNCLI provider.
Is there a way to force them to use the OLEDB provider?
I have MDAC2.8-SP1 installed.
if we see provider=sqloledb in the connection string of a legacy sql server 2000/2005 system we're trying to understand better, can we conclude that ODBC is definitely not in the client picture, that possibly OLEDB is and that SQL Native isnt? Can we conclude for sure what middleware must be in use?
My limited understanding of this "middleware" space is that ODBC is old and restrictive, OLEDB is a lot more state of the art and general, and that SQL Native is more proprietary than OLEDB.
Even if we can conclude what middleware must be in use, is it generally as simple as changing a connection string and ensuring installation of the preferred middleware in upgrading to better performing middleware?

I have 2 identical sql servers one of which is linked to the other via a linked server config which for one particular query gives back the error I give in the subject of this thread:
java.sql.SQLException: Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB'
if I run the exact same sql string in query analyser it runs with no problem.
if have similar queries also running from java which use the linked server and these do not give an error. I am at a loss as to explain why this is happening.
the query in question joins together a number of views which reference the linked server.
I have tried everything I can think of including recreating the views and linked server definition.
If all is OK in query analyser, how can it fail when called over jbdc (especially when all other db requests succeed) ?
I have SQL Server 2000 SP4 and i am using a link server which is also 2000 sp4. I am facing an interesting error which is
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata while extracting the data.
FYI.
I am executing the dynamic query which uses another server to fetch the data.
Let me know if anyone can help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi All,
I am getting following Error:
Oracle linked server in SQL server 2005 to update tables in Oracle database.
I have used OPENQuery to update tables in Oracle from a SQL Server 2005 Stored procedure.
If we run query from sql management studio for inserting or updating table of linked server then it runs fine. But if we use Begin distributed transaction then its gives error -

Hello,I'm struggling a giant fight with my webprovider (ASP.net 2.0) in the following case:I'm using the default connectionstring which automatic is provided when I create an ASP.net webstarterskit. This connectionstring is working fine when i deployed that kit to a W2003 server testenvironment and is also running on my laptop. But when I tried to deploy the website to my (new) hostingserver, also a W2003 server, I landed in ERROR-land. The last error I received was:Cannot open database "Club" requested by the login. The login failed.>
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.NB: I gave that user the right privileges and roles. My provider is not willing in sending me an example of a good working connectionstring and is directing me to their FAQ-site in which the right connectionstring is mentioned. That string looks like this (for a MS SQL database):strConnectie = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _ "Data Source=(local)SQLEXPRESS;"
& _ "Initial Catalog=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "User Id=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "Password=[WACHTWOORD]"My connectionstring in web.config looks like this:<connectionStrings><clear/><add name="ClubSiteDB"
connectionString="Data
Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|Club.mdf;User

name="LocalSqlServer"/><add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;User
Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf"
/></connectionStrings>Is there anybody in this forum that can help me out and explain to me how to use the string, as provided by the host, in the default connectionstring i use in web.config ??Any help is welcome and appreciated.NB: I'm using VWD 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server Management Studio ExpressHarry Elzinga
Hi,

Hi,
I was making a linked server connection between 2 SQL Server 2000 servers (both running on Windows 2003 Server), and I was creating an insert trigger in one of the SQL Server table to insert the same value to the other SQL table. But when I try to make an insert to the table, the following error occurred :
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure <triggername>, Line xx
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].
I tried to change the trigger into a SELECT statement only and the error still occurred. But when I tried to insert a row directly to the linked server via Query Analyzer, it succeeded.
I have read KB 280106, KB 306212, and KB 329332, and I've tried SET XACT_ABORT ON statement, but none of them can solve the problem.
If there's anyone who has idea on what's wrong or has a suggestion what I should try please help.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Background: I am a Software Engineer - not a DBA - with limited SQL knowledge (I know the SQL but not the configuration stuff)... I am sure others need this too - I tried but cannot find the answers online... please help me with a few questions:
Task: I need to find an way to install a database via Installshield 2008/command-line (silently), that is accessible locally and remotely regardless of what was already installed, and accessible only to our program - not users, so I am thinking use SA and a strong password since windows authentication may not apply with multiple users accessing this DB and they do not need to login on to the server - only our program does - sound right to use Mixed?).
Questions:
Can SQL 2005 Express be installed when SQL 2005 Full edition is already present?
Can SQL 2005 Express be installed without an instance name?
I think I read an instance name is required in Express, that if I do not provide it defaults to SQLEXPRESS -
So, if the prior question's answer is 'no, they cannot both exist'... prompting the next question:
If the Full version is already installed, should/can I use it - AND - can I add a New Instance silently via command line or ???
Any other ideas on why I can install 2005Express on one system, and not on two others (all 3 are development machines: VS 2005, SQL Express and that's about it)?
Currently I have figured out a command-line call to install - the command I came up with during testing is:
start /wait C: empSQLEXPR32.EXE /qb INSTANCENAME=CINST ADDLOCAL=ALL SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=STR2PWD4SA SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLAUTOSTART=1 AGTAUTOSTART=1 DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 ERRORREPORTING=1 ADDUSERASADMIN=1
This looks like it might work for SQL Express 2005 - I do not have the full edition installed, yet - thus, this post.
The errors I got, shown in the summary.txt as 'Error 10' on one system with no other info.
My other system reports:

in the directory is blocking the install?
The goal is for my application to use the same connection strings regardless of 2005 full or 2005 express.
Need to figure this out -

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have an installation of SQL2005 Express that was loaded via the "SQL2005Express with advanced services" download .exe.
Full text indexing wasn't enabled during installation.
It says to go to add/remove programs. Going that route when it goes to install FTI it says that it can't find the installation files in what looks to be the origonal "TEMP" folder created and removed during installation.
If I run the program installer from the download again it states that SQL is already installed and to use "add/remove programs".

Hello,
I've found some strange behavior of SQLOLEDB provider. When I set "Preserve on Abort" on true and delete some row in transaction, I cannot see this row after transaction rollback. Is this correct?
My code:

When I call Requery after RollbackTrans everything is OK, but what is then "Preserve on Abort" for?
Also I must call Requery after delete or I will get an error after MoveFirst. Do I miss something?

Trouble is, there is very little documentation about this data provider and we don't even know the prerequisites. Has anyone managed to use the data provider successfully?
I understand that the MSDASQL.dll is not available in 64 bit (unless you are running 2008 beta 3). I also understand that you can setup 32 bit ODBC without issues (using ODBCAD32.exe in WOW directory). My issue is how does SQL 2005 64 bit see these ODBC links? What is everyone doing to get around this? I want to be able to use openquery. Any advice would be much appreciated.

It seams as if the Connect Timeout property is not working correctly if the server that one is trying to connect to is down. This is my connection string.
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Pooling=False;Data Source=172.16.136.4;Initial Catalog=Db1;User ID=test;Password=test;Connect Timeout=5;
The timeout is ignored and the connection times out after about 15/20 seconds?
Any ideas?
I am remotely logging onto a MS SQL 6.0 server using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
When I try to query against the table on this server I get the following error
message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The data source can not be used, because it DBMS version is less than 6.5.0.]
I know that 6.0 doesn't support OLEDB but shouldn't 7.0 be able to access this
using odbc. Do I need to do anything other than set up the dsn on odbc.
Any feedback on this would be great.

I am having trouble logging into my sql server from an asp application using SQLOLEDB.
I am running XP, IIS5 and SQL Svr 2000 on my developement machine. I am able to log into the database using localhost/application.
When I port the code and database over to the server (Server 2003, IIS6, SQL Svr 2000), I am unable to connection using the actual url of the site.
I set the login up on the logins for the database manager along with password (using multi, not Windows authentication). Added that user to the database security logins, giving it dbo, srvr admin, etc. Like I said, works on my dev machine.
The SQLOLEDB request is Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(local);User ID=UID;Password=PWD;Initial Catalog=DBName.
I set the database up as a System DSN in ODBC, using SQL Server Authentication. The connection tests out just fine.
When I attempt to connect, I get an ADO message indicating that the user id that I supplied could not sign in to the server.
This is driving me nuts.
Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what I have missed on the server vs local developement machine?
Any and all help greatly appreciate.
Thx, Tom
Hey all, 2 questions.
Is there a way to 'refresh' the value of adodb.connection.state? and When my ado class reconnects after a dropped connection i still get connection failure errors.
I'm trying to make the connection b/n the my work's app and mssql server more 'robust'.
Our ado class tests the connection in the 'execute' method ie if connect() execute db task
.connect() is
IF this.loConnection.State = adStateOpen
*-- The connection is already open.
ELSE
create connection
ENDIF
return (this.loConnection.State = adStateOpen)
Now, this works fine when starting up the app, and everything runs fine, but *in theory* it should be able re-establish the connection at any time. So i kill the connection @ on the sql server while the app is running and try to perform a task that requires a db connection.
problem is that 'this.loConnection.State' is still equal to 1 even though the connection is no longer there.
It gets changed to 0 when the .execute fails but the failure is less than graceful... and although it reconnects (sp_who shows a new connection), it seems like the ado object is trying to connect using the old connection rather than the new one. command.activeconnection is set to the new connection in the .connect method so i dunno what's up.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a client application that creates a COM object using the program ID 'SQLOLEDB enumerator' to get an ISourcesRowset. Once I retrieve the ISourcesRowset, I call ISourcesRowset.GetSourcesRowset to obtain a list of available servers.
This works if the client computer (the one running the application) also has SQL Server (or SQL Express) installed. But on a clean computer after installing SQLNCLI.MSI, the call to GetSourcesRowset returns an error 80004005.
My question is, what do I need to install on my client's machines so I can retrieve available servers using this method? Is there another MSI that needs to be installed? Do I need to install SQL Express Client_Components? Or is there something else?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

hi all
I realised this has been done to death, and so much information out there but I am still in a quandry.
I have had to rebuild my computer.
This is what I did
XP machine
using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
using Windows Authentication
NZ6(MSSQLSERVER)
straight default install all the way
unfortunately when ready to run reports from my instance(computer)
I received the error as in provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
thought I had it all okayed but obviously something not right
so ended up unistalling then - did the following:
Load SQL Server from disc1 and start install
failed on alter Counter Registry key error
fixed this from KB article (known error that can happen)
restarted
Went to Windows Update
check IIS is installed - tick is on - IIS - admin tools - make sure asp2 is associated - yes ok
Then back to install sql server - there is no instance set up yet
Disk 2 and setup .exe
All ok on Reporting Services, Analysis etc.
But once again all seems fine but still getting the error:
connection is all fine in Management Studio - eg I can see tables etc
connection is all fine in Business Intelligence - eg I can preview my reports
I then can deploy up to - NZ6
open NZ6
eports
report is there fine - but just errors
some simple little tick that I have not done!!
I seem to have checked and rechecked everything and obviously doing another re-install does not seem a logical step from here.
I will continue to check but if someone jump in and advise please would be great.
cheers
