I have a SQL 2005 Express installed in my machine and when I try to access it with the following Connection String:
Driver={SQL Server};Server=.SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=xx;user id=xx;password=xx
I connect, but when I try to access any table from this database I get an error indicating that the object doesn't exist and if I use the fullname xx.table I get no errors.
What may be happening?
Thanks in advance
Hi
I'm not a sql server savvy, so I need assistance on the following two scenarios:
A customer runs a script like this (slightly larger, but I ripped away the meat)
---------------------------------------
create database test_database
go
USE [test_database]
exec sp_changedbowner 'sa'
use master;
go
sp_grantlogin 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN';
go
use test_database;
go
-- lots of table creations, where one of the tables are TEST_TABLE
sp_addrole 'ADMIN_ROLE';
Go
sp_grantdbaccess @loginame = 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN', @name_in_db = 'USER_ADMIN';
go
sp_addrolemember @rolename ='ADMIN_ROLE' , @membername = 'USER_ADMIN';
Go
GRANT SELECT , UPDATE , INSERT , DELETE ON [dbo].[TEST_TABLE] TO [ADMIN_ROLE]
GO
---------------------------
Now, if a person is added to the server01CUSTOM_ADMIN group, he/she should be able to do the following: (let's say it's a he)
- Create a test.udl-file (win xp). Set a provider to sql server.
- On the connection-tab enter hostname of database server in the Data Source-field and use windows NT Integrated security.
- When he now test the connection, it should work, since he has access to the database.
- Also, using the dropdown "3. Enter the initial catalog to use:", he should see SOME datatables. Not ALL, not none. The ones that he has access to.
So, if TEST_DATABASE is the only access that server01CUSTOM_ADMIN has, that database and only that one should show, right?
In my customers scenario, some databases show (irrelevant ones), but not TEST_DATABASE. In my test, I still get ALL databases. Even after I rip the guy out of the Administrators-group and Users-group. He's only a member of the CUSTOM_ADMIN-group on server01. "Test connection" succeeds, and all the databases on the server shows.
What I hope for is following questions like "He's probably sysadmin, check it" etc, so that I can systematically (using your brains) filter out the reasons for these scenarios to happen.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there, I am in the process or deploying our existing .NET 1.1 application together with its SQL Server 2000 databases to 2 new hardware platforms (one for databases and one for application). I have transferred the databases and installed the application (using our installers). I have tested the database logins and checked the database user rights - everything is fine - or so it appears to be. However, when I try to open the application it receive the following exception
[Exception: Data Source=172.16.7.1;Persist Security Info=False;UID=myAccount; password=myPassword;Connect Timeout=60;;Initial Catalog=http://xxx.xx.x.x/directory/myPage.aspxMYDATABASE;Pooling = 'false';Application Name=WEBAPP; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database requested in login 'http://xxx.xx.x.x/directory/myPage.aspxMYDATABASE'. Login fails.

It appears as if my ADO connection string is faulty. If a manually connect using a connection string in the format I expected it to be, everything works. Here are my manual connection string:
Data Source=xxx.xx.x.x;Persist Security Info=False;UID=myAccount; password=myPassword;Connect Timeout=60;;Initial Catalog=MYDATABASE;Pooling = 'false' What is inserting the URL that I used to open the page ahead of my Initial Catalog parameter?Any assistance will be more than welcome.CJ
SQL 2012 SSIS package.I have a package connection that has the initialcatalog set in the connection string/properties page. This package connection also has an expression defined to set the initial catalog at runtime according to a passed in parameter. It works fine.
I am trying to create a second package in this same manner, but the connection does not seem to want to keep both the hardcoded initialcatalog and the expression to set it dynamically.
I can hardcode the initcatalog just fine, when when I add the expression to set it dynamically later, it clears out the initialcatalog I added.
What am I missing, why was I able to do this in the other package? I compared as much as I can think of between the two packages, all seems similar.
We find that if we deploy the OLAP database with a different name on the test server, then regardless of how we change the connection string provided to the SSIS package that processes the cube, then the package fails to connect to the database. To clarify:
In development the OLAP database is called MyOlapDB and the source database is called MySqlDB. Both are on the same machine. When the the application is built and released for test, the test team install the databases on a replica of the production environment (i.e. web app on one machine, OLAP DB on another and SQL database on yet another). They also, quite rightly, implement the new test databases so they incorporate the build version number. So, MyOlapDB123 and MySqlDB123 are both from build 123.
This is when the problems start. Regardless of how the connection string is specified in the job that processes the cube, the SSIS integration package fails with the error:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with the ID of 'MyOlapDB' does not exist in the server with the ID of 'OurTestServer', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
We have tried config files and job properties, but neither work. Also, simply attempting to run the package using the DTEXECUI does not work either.
Looking inside the XML of the package, we clearly see the ConnectionManager object which has the original connection string, which is
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyOlapDB;Provider=MSOLAP.3;Integrated Security=SSPI;Impersonation Level=Impersonate;
However, editing the initial catalog here still does not solve the problem. Searching the XML for the string MyOlapDB reveals the OLAP database name in two other places - both within the object data of the two Analysis Services Execute DDL tasks.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without having to hack the XML of the package?
First off, let me just say that I'm a complete newbie to SQL Reporting Services, and .NET in general. We have a VB 6 application that is trying to launch an SRS 2005 report in a viewer window. This was accomplished by creating A VB.NET "wrapper" window that launches the report, and allows the report to be previewed, exported, etc. I did not write any of this.
The report is using a Shared Data Source, which points to a specific database. My problem is that the users can select which db they want when they launch the VB 6 Application, so I need to find a way to edit the connection string in the report to specify which database to use on the fly. I have the db name in the "wrapper" application, but I can't figure out how to pass it to the report.
thx,
Paul
I'm trying to create a linked server to generalize the query for pointing to different versions/instances of the same schema. For instance, we are testing against a test db named Name_Config, but we also need to execute the same tests against Name_ConfigQA. By building the linked server (named "LS_Test"), we are attempting to leave the sql as is in another catalog on the same server by pointing through LS_Test so the following sql won't need modifying, just the linked server properties:
select * from LS_Test...table1
This produces the following error:
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName='LS_Test', TableName='table1'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'LS_Test' does not contain table 'table1'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I've been able to do this through synonyms in SQL Server 2005, but I'm having no luck setting the propertes in 2000 such that the linked server maintains the catalog name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"SSIS 2012 Catalog doesn't have option to give read access to SSIS Catalog to view package run reports" ... Any luck allowing power developers / operators access to READ the SQL 2012 SSIS Execution Reports without granting them SSIS_Admin or Sysadmin?
According to this link posted back in 2011 (w/ Microsoft's feedback in Nov 2011: "We’re closing this issue as “Won’t Fix.” At this point the bug does not meet our bar for resolving prior to SQL Server 2012 RTM. As we approach the SQL Server 2012 release the bar for making code changes gets progressively higher." URL....Regarding Permissions to SSIS Catalog, here are the findings. We can give access in three ways:
1. READ Access – We can provide a user db_datareader access. With this the user can see the objects within the SSIS catalog database, but cannot see the reports.
2. SSIS_ADMIN – Add the user to this database role in SSISDB. With this the user can view the reports. But it also provides them privileges to modify catalog information which is not expected. We can add it using below script EXEC sp_addrolemember 'ssis_admin' , 'REDMONDPAIntelAnalyst'
3. SYSADMIN - Add the user to this server role. This will make the user an admin on the SQL server. This is not intended. Is there any method available which will have provision to give read only access to see SSIS Catalog package execution reports and not having modify Catalog access.
Hi,
I have been using a licensed copy of Visual Studio 2005 and MS SQLServer 2005 for some time but am only now trying out the Reporting Services functionality.
I have attempted to follow the instructions from url:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/usingssrswithsqlexpress.mspx
However despite confirming that the report services are running and also checking the configuration by following the information in the above web page I still get the following problems.
1. When attempting to create a project via the wizard I get the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. If an attempt is made to add a new data source I am unable to choose the data source type (eg: Microsoft SQL Server). I am not given a choice for the type, in fact the relevant drop down is blank.
2. A project can be created without the wizard but if I right click the Shared Data Source folder I do not see the next Pop up to set the data source parameters.
I assume I am missing something quite fundamental - however so far I cannot see what.
Thanks in advance for any advice...

We had a runaway query which built the size of tempdb to 24000mb. Then someone changed the unrestricted file growth property to restricted growth while the size was 24000mb. Now I can not reduce the initial size. I have set the property back to unrestricted file growth. I have shrunk the tempdb and available space is almost 24000mb. I have stopped sqlserver. I even deleted the existing tempdb.mdf & tempdb.ldf files. But when SQL server is restarted, the initial size is set to 24000mb. It will not let me reduce the size. Is there anything short of manipulating the system tables to reduce the size back to 500mb?

I need to display the middle initial from a name field that contains the last name, comma, and the middle name or initial.
Example data:
Jane,Smith Ron
John,Dow L
Mary Jane,Dow Welsh
The result I am looking for is to capture only the first letter of the middle name. In this data example, I would need to display the following on a separate column:
R
L
W
-- I have a first name field that sometimes contains only the first name,
-- sometimes contains the first name and the middle initial, and
-- sometimes contains the first name, a space, followed by NMI (for no middle initial)
-- how do I correctly grab the first letter of the middle initial in all cases?
-- I have been playing with patindex but its harder than I thought. guess I need a case
-- statement in addition to this. Any idea how I can do this?

Folks:
Is there a way to decrease the initial size of a database/log file? I've noticed you can increase it, but if you decrease it, after you confirm the change and go checking again, you will see nothing happened.
Is there a way? Am I missing anything?!
Hi,
Currently my db size is only 6 GB but the transaction log file initial size was set to 20 GB and has grown much way beyond the db size with the autogrowth feature turn on. The database was originally a test/development DB and was migrated to a production server including the log file. This probably caused the accumulation of transactions on the log.
We run backup everyday and tried to shrinkfile and file size did not change.
Can I change the "initial size" setting of the transaction log without causing any problems? Do I need to stop the service before I made the change assuming I made the change after the backup run? Or can I change it on the fly?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I wish resize the allocated space of my DB.

Via t-sql, how can I query for a file's initial size?
I want the same thing one finds by :
Start SQL Server Management Studio, view, object explorer, right click [dbname], properties, files, Database files: Initial Size (MB).
Many thanks.

SQL 2008R2
Added four new equally sized .mdf files to a production tempdb last night and restarted the instance. I was hoping to remove the initial file as it's not required and does not match the size+growth of the others. The option to 'remove' it is greyed out in the files tab of the GUI so I'm assuming that ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] REMOVE FILE [tempdev] will also fail.
Do I need to migrate any data in this particular .mdf before it can be dropped? Or would the simplest approach be to change the size of this file to match the others and drop tempdev3?

I have a SQL Server 2005 Std. Ed. 64-bit installation. There is one instance supporting a single production database. I have a CLR udf. This udf uses the XMLDocument object to retrieve XML from a URL. When the CLR udf is executed, there seems to be an initial slow response time. Subsequent response times are very fast. If the CLR udf is not called for a few minutes and then called, the slowdown appears again.
Is there something happening behind the scenes with compilation or something like that which could cause this slowdown?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am setting up 2005 Transacational Replication on a database that was created on SQL 2000. There are 1400 articles (tables, views, sp and functions). It takes 2.5 hours to create the snapshot. Then, once the distribution errors gets its first error, it keeps retrying and getting the same error. Q1: Can I tell it to record the error but keep going? Q2: How do I stop the distribution agent once it gets in the this state? I have been deleting the publication but that seems like overkill.
I am trying to figure out a more efficient way to identify all the articles that are going to get errors. Is there any way to test the articles to see which ones will get an error? My current process takes a long time just to identify one error (since I have to create the snapshot each time).

Hello Everyone,
When i checked the machine this morning i saw that MS DTC service was stopped and when did start it, it was good for a sec or two then it stopped auto matically i was not sure waht was goin on...
Then i checked the Eventviewer, it said the log file is full i tried out to find ms dtc log reset or increase the size but could not find out..where can i find this.
One more thing what is the purpose of DTC, i know in sql 6.5 we have everything in enterprize manager but i can't see the same either in 7.0 or 2000 is the name changed or is it linked to some other source.
Like linked server , does this depend on MS DTC..how and what is the basic purpose of this..kindly tell me what i should do now...
I got to fix it asap..big hassle..
Thanks in advance,
