I am having a problem accessing SQL Server 2000 via UNIX. I am
accessing SQL Server 2000 from Solaris using Sybase Open Client
(CT-Lib). Here is the error message:
CT-LIBRARY error:
ct_connect(): network packet layer: internal net library
error: Net-Library operation terminated due to disconnect
I have another SQL server 6.5 and I do not have any problems accessing
6.5 using the same strategy. Can someone tell me how I should
configure to access SQL Server 2000 from UNIX?
I have UNIX application, running on AIX, SUN and HP, (RISC & Itanium). This application working with Oracle, via OCI, and OCCI, (I can use ODBC as well).
I would like replace Oracle with SQL-Sever.
Does there is a way/driver to access MS-SQL Server from Unix?
My program is running on UNIX, (SUN, AIX and HP), and work with Oracle. I would like to use SQL-Server instead of Oracle, but the program must run on UNIX.
Is there is a way/driver to work with SQL-Server from UNIX?
I am owrking in java developmenton solaris using weblogic6.0 Does any body know how to access sql server data from solaris. If some body knows that, can you please post me the steps that i need to do it.
Hi I am trying to schedule a job to copy an MDB data file from Unix server to Windows 2003 server (Accfp1_data2_server). I have created a file copy SSIS package and tested it in the SSIS Visual Studio environment where it runs ok. The package was created while logged in as a domain administrator.
I then created a job to run this package (which is stored on a folder) using the credential of the same domain administrator who has full access privilege to both of these servers. However, the job fails whenever it is run manually or scheduled? The error message displayed is given below --------------------------------------------------------------- Message Executed as user: FORTIESABCITYG.

Please note that the job runs without problem when I change the source file to a Windows 2000 server share . How bizzare? Hope this is not a Microsoft's Trick?
First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.
Hi Everyone, I just started using ASP.NET and I cannot figure out how to use a connection string to connect to a SQL Server database using ASP.NET. I want to use Windows Authentication to bring up a database called upsizedCandidate on a server called SQLSERVER and display a table within that database through internet explorer. I'm not sure if I should be using OLE DB or ODBC. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!
Hi there, I want to access to sql server 2000 on localhost with http .Following instructions on "Sql Server books online", If I perform on Window Server 2003 R2 operating System, the result was not unsuccessful. However, on Window XP, the result was successful.
Does anyone know of any shareware tools out there that can connect tosql server 2000 from Unix(specifically Sun Solaris) and performqueries and return result sets ? Appreciate your help.Steve Chiang
I upgraded from SQL server 7.0 to 2000 not long ago, I'm running 2000 SP3, WIN 2K. Things worked fine for several weeks after the upgrade but now I'm experiencing Enterprise Manager hang in the case of one database only, when I try to view the design of a VIEW. I can open the VIEW fine and look at the results, EM only hangs when I try to view design.
I have checked another of the active DBs on my server and it is fine, no EM hang.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
thx
**I just realized that I'm running SP3, not SP4 (corrected above). Correct me if I'm wrong but does MS have a fix for this problem in SP4? I seem to recall a similar issue in the KB.
We are running SQL Server 2000 SP3. We have linked servers in use thatwe use to access Oracle tables.Recently the claim has been made that you can access Oracle tables fromwithin SQL Server without using a Linked Server. I searched BooksOnline using keywords: linked, remote, and Oracle and did not findanything.A search of the newsgroup archives found only entries related to usingLinked Servers.Is there any such method as claimed? I do not think there is, but Ineed to find some support for my position or else learn something new.Thank you-- Mark D Powell --
Hello All,I have a linked ADSI Server to our company Active Directory andeverything is fine. I'm running queries and such using LDAP. BUT howcan I aquire a list of attributes for the classes and categories. Suchas if i wanted to see a user's telephone number and email address foruse in a corporate database? Is this possible?Thanks
Hi I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure". Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'abc'. ------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc. Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005. The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options; 1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 . 2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help. Regards, Salman Shehbaz.
I have a customer that wants to start using SQL Server 7.0 instead of Oracle, but they have a lot of Oracle applications (made in Developer 2000 and Forms). Due to the big effort needed to convert those applications (to Visual Basic), they want to be able somehow to migrate only data from Oracle to SQL Server, and then use some tool that will allow them to use the same applications with the SQL Server 7.0 engine.
I found on the "SQL Server Developer's Kit" a document describing the process of migrating data and applications from Oracle to SQL Server. There is a mention to an Oracle tool called "Oracle Gateway to SQL Server" that will translate calls received by the Oracle engine to the SQL Server engine, but this approach will still require the existence of Oracle servers (which is the thing the customer no longer wants).
The second option mentioned on that document, and the one that seems more attractive, is the use of Oracle "Open Client Adapter" (OCA) that will allow Developer 2000 applications to communicate directly to SQL Server via ODBC. However, I have been unable to find (on the Oracle site) any documentation regarding this tool.
Has anynoe heard or used such tool (OCA) ? Any comments, tips, drawbacks, experience you could share ? Any other idea on how a thing like that could be accomplished ? Perhaps a third-party application that can act as a gateway between the Forms app and ODBC/SQL Server, or that will be able to generate VB code from a Developer 2000/Forms app...
Any help will be appreciated.
Please respond directly to me, as I am not a member of the distribution list.
Hi all,I need to gain access to a remote SQL Server 2000 storing my data.The remote SQL machine can only be accessed via an internet connection,that is - it is not part of my network.I know Enterprise Manager can do the job, but EM only comes bundled inMS SQL Server, which is not installed on the client machine.Please let me know which other (preferably free) tools can performsuch remote access.Thanks,Gilad Haimov
I am very new to this board and I am not sure whether the following question belongs to this board. I will ask it anyway.
Can someone tell me where (book or web site or an example) I can go to learn how to be able to connect to a SQL Server database in a unix (in my case Solaris) environment using C/C++. I have been doing database programming using Oracle, Acess on NT with C/C++/ODBC comfortabley. I just need to learn how to go about in a Unix environment.
Has anyone tried to connect to a SQL Server 2K running on Windows 2000 from a unix machine? If so then could you provide me some help? Thanks in advance
We are running SCO Unix 5.0.5. We need a command line sql client that can connect to a MS SQL server running on a windows server. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't want to write a sql client. I just want a command line sql client binary that is ready to work.
I want to do something like this in a unix shell script:
I've got a question about the UNIX timestamp solutions, I am using this one:
select convert(datetime, switchoffset(convert(datetimeoffset, dateadd(second, start_date, '19700101')), datename(TzOffset, sysdatetimeoffset()))) from x
This works great for today (wintertime), but when I query the past, say last week, it will still hold the current offset of my server GMT+1, where it was GMT+2.
Is there a way to get always the right date/time from a sql-query?
Hi, everyone!I was just wondering if any of you knows of a linux/unix client(preferably on the command line) that would connect to ms sql server?Any hints would be appreciated!Roumen.
I have a windows server 2003 R2 sharing a filesystem using NFS. I have created a group and passwd file and mapped the ids' to the unix login ids' . I', able to mount but when I try to cd to the directory I get "NFS access failed for server testsrvr: RPC: Authentication error". On the win2k3 server I'm getting an event error "There was a mapping failure". I have the Admin id on the win2k3 server mapped to the unix root login .

How can I assign the ODBC Database(Progress) on UNIX as publisher and SQL Server as subscriber. When I use the Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the Unix Server. I just can see the server and database in DTS.
Hello, I am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 from a SCO box (version 3.2v4.2)using sisql/bcp (sybase product). I can connect to a 6.5 database but when I try the same script to connect to 7.0 I get the following message: DB-LIBRARY error: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. Is there anything I can do in order to fix this problem? Any ideas? Thanks
I know that SQL Server runs on Windows Server, is it possible to download data in UNIX using shell script? does SQL Server has any binary or command line client for any operating system other than Windows?
Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple, supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.
Is there as way to access SQL SErver DB for DML Operations from C++ programs in UNIX/LINUX. The current approach is by uisng Pro C to connect to ORACLE from C++. But I want to connect to SQL Server 2005.
