I'm in the process of designing a system which will have a central internet based SQL Server database, and one or more clients running SQL CE.
If there is more than one client machine running the same software, is it possible to have all these clients use a central SQL CE db on one of the clients? In other words can other machines access a SQL CE running on say a "master" machine? These machines my be in a workgroup or on a domain by the way.
I know I could use a SQL Express db on the master machine, but I'm keen to use SQL CE because of the Sync services dlls that came with VS 2008 (which I believe only work in CE).
Hi Guys! I'm trying to find a way to either importexport or synchronise an SQL 2005 db between a local and remote server, is there any way to do this programatically or otherwise? doesn't have to be the entire db, (like just aspnet_users and related tables will do) Thanks for the help all!
I read in oneof the articles somewhere that users can also download cubes to their local machines for off-line browsing/analysis. This can be very useful if the user is suppose away from the office or not connected to the LAN.
I wanted to request if someone can explain the process of how users can do this i.e. download/save a copy of the cube to their local machines?
I have deployed a vb.net application to a few laptops that holds the SQL Express database as a local datastore. What is the best way to compress or shrink the database and log files? I would like a way that this can be done automatically or unattended if possible...
Hi, My reports are deployed on reporting server installed on my machine. Now i want to access the reports on other machines which are on local LAN along with my machine. When i try to access reports from some other machine browser gives error page not found. Can any one tell me how to do this.
I am trying to create a sproc creates several tables, views, and sprocs across several similar DBs (please...no lectures on structure...I didn't create this multi-DB setup) .
My sproc loops through the DBs and runs a script on each DB. I am running the Sproc from a client computer and cannot easily access the c drive on the SQL server.
The only way I have figured out how do do this is to run the following
xp_cmdshell 'isql d- %@mydb% i- c:script.sql'
inside a loop.
My problem is that xp_cmdshell refers to the server c drive instead of my local c drive, where my script file is.
Is there a way to refer to my local c drive? Also any thoughts on a better way to approach this (other than running the entire script inline in the sproc since I don't want to have to run quotes around each batch of the script).
I am trying to view a report that i created and I get an error everywhere but on the server, where it runs fine. the report uses the sharepoint lists.asmx web service as a datasource, and I'm using Windows Authentication on the datasource. I'm logged on to my desktop with the same account i use on the server, but on the server it runs and on the desktop i get the following error:
I am having a problem accessing my local A: drive, using the bulk insert command. The actual sql server pc thinks I am accessing its sql server's A: and not my local a: drive. I am trying to read in a simple CSV delimited ascii file into a sql table. Wow what a nightmare just to read a simple ascii file into a table. Unfortunatley I am writing a program in VB.net for an operator to import ascii data from floppy diskettes.
I am using this command below: The command works fine but I have to go to the actual server and put the floppy disk in over there. I want the operator to be able to use there own A: or any location drive for that matter. Sql server over the network is not allowing us to access any local drive to import this data. I get an error 21 because the sql server does not have the floppy in its drive. It seems like some kind of security issue, but I am not sure. Any information would be most appreciated in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone, I have the sql connection string configured in my web application as data source=(local); provider=sqloledb.1; user id=<<user id>>; password=<<password>>; database=<<database>>
My understanding is that when (local) is used, the connection method will fall to shared memory / named pipes. I have names pipes and TCP/IP enabled in the configuration manager.
My machine is also running Comodo Firewall .
Now this is what is happening. When I try to access the asp.net application, I get a component exception in comodo firewall that indicates w3wp.exe is trying to access the sql server via the machine's IP over port 1433. This happens when I try to load the application in the browser.
What I dont understand is that when (local) is configured, it should only access thru shared memory / named pipes. Why is it trying to connect thru TCP port. Is this because I have the sql username and password? My SQL server is configured for mixed mode authentication.
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Question - is there anyone out there running SQL Server on machines in the 2GB-4GB of RAM Range who has quick sec for a ? The documentation I have found for running SQL Server(native 32bit 2 GB RAM max) on 2GB+ machines is a little confusing (to me) if anyone can answer my question that would be great. I am running Ent SQL Server on WIN2K Adv box with 8 Xeons and 4 GB of RAM. I have enabled the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file but have not enabled AWE memory management in SQL. I have set the MAX amount of RAM avialble to my SQL box at 3GB and SQL Serve appears to be using all of the 3 GB under load. Is this the right way to set this or is there another more efficient way? Any answer explenations would be great. Thanks in advance
PS The server is only a SQL box no other apps / servers are running it.

The mirroring wizard insists I enter a fully qualitifeid domain name for my servers. But my servers are not on a domain - I just address them as machinenameinstancename, which the wizard convertrs to TCP://machinename:5022. When I click Start Mirroring it tells me that this is not a FQDN, which is true. How do I make this work?
I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
I am looking for some first-hand experiences from fellow DBA's where they had SQL Server running on a Win2K3 VM. What sort of issues (or successes) did you find re: resource sharing, swap files, etc? Are there any experiences where using a VM negatively affected your environment?
After developing some websites (VS 2005 VWD), my machine started to crumble. (e.g, SQL Server won't uninstall and lots of other software problems)
So I bought a new machine and set up a clean installation of SQL Server 2005 Standard and Visual Studio 2005 standard.
I copied my old "projects" folder to the new machine but I cannot use it.
1: When I try to import I get a "cannot import external files" error.
2: When I click on a project, it launches VS 2005 and I can edit etc. However, when I try to run the website in VS 2005, I get the following error.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) an error
Please can someone let me know how I can get my "old" projects running in my new environment?
I have a server with a sqlexpress database on it. It has 'Allow Remote Connections' checked It has the Browser Service enabled and started utilizing Surface Area Configuration It has Local and Remote Connections Using both TCP/IP and named Pipes.
I have used http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277
And one machine can connect to it fine.. . but others can't?
I am trying to copy DTS Packages and Jobs from two different Servers to one new server. I know I can script the jobs, but they won't run without the DTS packages. I have backed up and restored the MSDB database from Server 1 to my Main server and therefore I have all the jobs from that machine. My problem is how do I get the jobs stored in SERVER 2's MSDB over to my main server without replacing the tables I already have thus losing the jobs and packages that I imported? I have thought about backing up Server 2's MSDB then importing to another database,on the MAIN SERVER and then importing with an append to the 'live" msdb, but I believe the table names are the same and I may end up with duplicate entires. I don't know what problem this will cause. Any suggestions will be great. Thanks in advance
Hi all. I'm having a strange problem occur - any help would be appreciated. I have a data driven query task that is a part of a much larger package that runs fine and completes successfully if I run it by right-clicking on it and running an 'execute task' on just that individual task. This completes successfully only when I run it from my local machine with the SQL 2000 box registered on it. The task does not complete - or at least runs for as long as I'm willing to wait - if I run it either as part of the entire package or alone, as described above, directly on the SQL 2000(running Win 2000 Advanced). Obviously this is not good because the larger overall package is an integral part of a nightly cycle. Any thoughts?????
I'm specifically referring to 2008 R2, and TomCat in particular (not sure of the *Nix variant involved), where I was asked if there were any configuration settings on the database side (meaning SQL Server) that can be viewed to show how long a connection to the server, once idle, will last, before it is forcibly closed. I when Googling, but as I'm not very knowledgeable on that topic, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, and the only results I came across didn't identify what I'm looking for. Of course, it may be that such a config setting doesn't exist, but it would be useful to know how such things are handled.
I need to move our production database to a brand new machine on our LAN.Both machines are running SQL2K. I'd like to place the production databasein a directory on the destination machine with a slightly different pathname than the source SQL server.How can I shrink the transaction log to the minimum size before I try themove? What is the best way to move the database to the new machine? Wehave Veritus Backup Exec.Regards,Charles MacLean
What is a good simple way to scan the servers in your network for SQLServers?Does anyone have any scripts or code that would show me how to dothis?I think WMI might be able to do this but don't know where to start.If possible I'd like to be able to get the version (2000 or 2005) ifpossible.Thanks,Kelly GreerJoin Bytes!change nospam to yahoo
Client app is a windows forms app on client machine. Web Service on a dev machine (Windows 2003 standard), SQL Server 2000 on a seperate machine. The user logs on to the using their windows login. I'd like to pass these credentials to the web service, have the web service impersonate the user and access the SQL Server with these credentials... not a problem I thought.
Setup windows integrated login on IIS for the web service, impersonate="true" in the web.config, Mixed mode on the SQL server. Passed the network credentials through to the Web Service, and this works correctly, however when the web service (impersonating the user) tries to access the SQL Server, I get the message about access denied, user is null, blah, blah. (if remote access the Web Service box, and call the web service locally, all works well, and voila, until the thread recycles, the client machine access also works... same user/pass)..
I've seen various posts about this but nothing seems to solve the problem. Am I right in thinking that this method (Windows integrated login) of passing credentials through to the SQL Server is the best method? If so... er, shouldn't it work? What am I doing wrong here? and if it doesn't work, what other method would work?
I've just about given up on this and thinking of passing the SQL Server Username/Password across the network (shudder), encrypted yes, but not ideal!
I create a sql user who is part of sysadmin, securityadmin, setupadmin and serveradmin roles.
When I try to connect through odbc using this user from other machines, it works fine. But if I remove it from sysadmin, I get an error message Connection Failed:

Hello, I have to find out whether my servers have hyperthreading enabled or not???? I am running Windows server 2003 Standard edition on many of my machines. I have to configure the SQL Server, server configuration values according to the Hyperthreading. I know about the CPUcount.exe utility but is there anything else apart from it??????
Can I access from App machine (on WinXP) to SQL 2005 Exp machine (on WinXP) ?
I installed SQL 2005 Exp SP2 on Win XP SP2 on my PC. Please consider following environment:
- My PC name: MyPC
- Database name : MyData
- Database role for MyData without any permissions: MyDBRole
- Application role for MyData having all permisions: MyAppRole
- Database user: MyDBUser
- SQL Login: MyLogin (WinXP Limited Login) mapped to MyDBUser
- Application Name to access MyData: MyApp
- Using Application Role MyRole in MyApp
I am accessing data from MyApp within MyLogin. When I want to access from other tool like Management Studio Express, I can not access it and that that is what I want.
Till now it is OK when I am doing all these things on MyPC.
Now question is : Is it possible to connect from other PC (say CleintPC) running Windows XP SP2 use MyApp ?
I think ClientPC should access MyPC through MyPC's MyLogin.
[ I have tried successful simple SQL server connection with MyPC's Guest Login]
Please tell me is it possible ? (Running SQL Express on one machine, Application on second machine and both machine's operationg system is Windows XP)
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
I need to synchronize the data from one server to another every night... There is a server called A and B need to do something to sychronize ? I know this concept as repliction but there are more than 1500 tables and finding out from 22,000 and publishing is hell, is there any other way which i can do and could anyone help me breif me to do this.
For security reasons customer wants to put a SQL database on an encrypted thumb drive (IronKey). Here's the rub though. He wants to be able to work with the data on a workstation. Then, if he takes his laptop out of the office he wants to be able to simply plug that thumb drive into the laptop and fire up SQL on the laptop and use that same database. Procedurally this would work in that the database can be created so that the location is the same from both machine viewpoints, however will the two different SQL instances allow moving the database back and forth like this?
