Hi,
Anyone ever try to access a NetWare drive from within SQL Server. I have setup a netware account that matches the NT account that the SQL service runs under and given this account the necessry access to the drive. When I do a xp_cmdshell 'dir h:' (h: being the netware drive) I get an 'Access is denied' error.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Donal
Hi,
I've got a requirement for a procedure to write a text file and want to do it without using command line utilities.
I wrote a sqlclr which queries a db and writes the file that I need. After setting the external_access and database to trustworthy, It only works on my own machine, not on network shares.
Some threads I've found have been related to the "1 network hop" of Windows credentials, which most of us are probably familiar with.
It doesn't make sense to me that this is the problem, since I'm on my workstation, connecting to a local db instance and hopping one time to the shared server. Anyone know what the cause might be?

As the result of a take-over, the company I work for is having to replace part of its IT infrastructure. One of the changes we are being asked to make is to replace our clients NT4 Workstation and TCP/IP setup with Lotus Notes and Novell Netware. The clients will still need to access one of our key applications which is backended by a large SQL Server 7.0 system. I have been asked if this change is likely to be a problem. I am not very familiar with Netware and have done some research and found numerous references telling me that it can be done but very little on actually how to do it. I am particularly concerned about the security aspect as we use NT Security and database roles to control access to the databases. How would this work if the clients are logging on to a Novell network rather than a Microsoft one?
Can somebody point me in the right direction please.
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.

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

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?
Can anyone help?
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I am currently working on a project for reporting on a new acquisition the company have made. Unfortunately, the people I have to give access to the SQL Server are using Netware for authentication.
Is there any way to allow these people to log into SQL Server without having to create a SQL authenticated user for each of them?
Thanks
I'm running MSSQL 2K on Win 2k and just upgraded SQL Server from SP3to SP4 (that's when my problem started). I have a procedure that bulkinserts from a text file that is located on a Netware 4.11 file server.The procedure actually references the file using the UNC path to ashare on a NT 4 server that is connected to the novel server usinggateway services for NetWare. Now when it tries to reference the file Iget:Server: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Could not bulk insert because file '\NtServerNetware Sharefile.txt'could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).I've tried running the process as a domain administrator and get thesame results.I can run these commands and they work as expectedmaster..xp_cmdshell 'dir \NtServerNetware Sharefile.txt'master..xp_cmdshell 'type \ NtServerNetware Sharefile.txt'Also if I Bulk insert the file from the local drive of the same NTserver it works fine i.e.:BULK INSERT #imp FROM \NtServerd$file.txt'Any thoughts would be appreciated.

How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:.

How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks

I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

We installed MS SQL Server to our drive D drive E was the CDROM Drive.We wanted to move the CDROM drive to drive D and the hard drive to driveE. We change that around and corrected the registry entries -repointing everything to drive E instead of D. SQL Server however willnot start it says it cannot find the databases. Where is thisinformation stored. How can I go about changing it?~Todd
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have always installed SQL Server (2000 and 2005) on the c drive of the server, and placed the data and log files on seperate disks.
Our network administrator says it should be installed on the d drive and c should be left just for the windows install. Is there any benefit in this? It seems to be causing a problem with our SAN having SQL Server installed on the c drive. Anyone else had similar problems?
Thanks

Hi All,
I've been trying to find the answer but been unable to. My question is it possible to create a SQL Server (2005) database in a usb2 drive? I have a large usb drive that i would like to store my database into instead of my local drive which is not that big.

Good Morning guys n Gals.
New user on these forums, so basically, hey, how are yas?
I have a bit of a situation, and have done a search - although not much info has turned up relating to my situation (maybe my search was just useless).
Anyways, basically, I run SQL Server 6.5 on NT4 server.
The disks were striped - not RAIDED.
What happened was, the 4th disk died, and we replaced it with a new blank drive.
Now, I am left with two DAT files (log and data) for my database.
I cannot remember how large these were created as it was many years ago.
I have no backups.
Reseting the status hasn't worked, also I have tried creating a new DB / Devices (in size similar to those reported in windows), and "moving" the devices to point to the original ones, but no luck: and thus was wondering if anybody had any hint / tips or ideas?
Cheers,
Jamie
Howdy y'all! :)
I have been instructed to move a large database we have on one of our servers off the current drive (local RAID-5 driveset in the server) to a EMC "drive" (logical drive, off-server).
I know one option is to back up the database, delete the database, re-create the db using the new drive for data/log files, then restore the database.
However, I was wondering if it would be better to just detach the DB, move the data/log files, then reattach to them?
Is it half-doz of one, and 6 of the other?
How should I go about this dastardly deed?
Off to poke around in BOL, but thought I would post first in case it's an incredibly easy answer for y'all
Thanks!
I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

I created two partitions for my hard drive. The C drive which holds all of the Windows 2003 server operating system files and E drive which will be just for data and applications. The C drive is only 30GB while the E drive is 119GB. I need to be able to install in the application on the E drive. I already tried creating a folder on the E partition named program files with the sql2005 folder in it when I go through the installer package. SQL server still wants to be installed on the C drive. Is there anyway I can change this so it gets installed on the E partition. Thank You

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have an application in which we would like to have a SQL Server database, the database manager and an application program all resident on a USB drive. When the USB drive is connected to a Windows based computer, the database should be viewable without requiring installation of the SQL Server software on the computer.

I am aware that Microsoft and SanDisk have a joint research project in progress that is expected to result in a replacement for the U3 software sometime in 2008.
