Hi
I am basically a sybase guy but unfortunately I need to patch a SQL server with SP3. This is the first time I will be doing that. So I am not sure that after applying SP3, if I would need to rebuild all databases again.
Could anybody tell me what and where is the impact when we install SP3..??
I would appreciate any kinda help.

Should I apply SP2 even though I have already installed the community preview?

Hi all
I just want to make sure I have the proper understanding of how to apply MS security patches in a replicated SQL2k environment.
1) Upgrade Distributor
2) Upgrade Publisher
3) Upgrade Subcriber(s)
Any comment or suggestion would be highly appreciated :-)
Hi,
I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).
It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.
I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).
Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Jim
When I try to run SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5a, I consistently receive the error message
"Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
cfgchar.exe could not be executed. Please check the relevant
out file."
I am currently at Service Pack 3.
1) I have insured that the PATH environment variable does not contain quotes.
2) I have no other applications running at the same time as the service pack is running.
The contents of the cfgchar.out file appear as follows:

Are there any guidelines or best practices for deploying or testing Service Packs? What types of tests should be performed prior to upgrading or do I just trust Microsoft?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to modify an already existing stored procedure, which takes three parameters. Currently it uses exclusively "or" logic to apply the parameters to a select statement. e.g.
and (adid = @adID or (editorID = @editorID and aa.editorTypeID = 1))
What I need it to do is to apply a different "and/or" logic depending on what is supplied. If two or three parameters are supplied then it needs to use "and" logic to join them. Howver, if just one parameter is supplied then it should search on that parameter alone - which it won't do if I just join them all together using "and" by default.
The work has to be done inside the T-SQL, not in the calling code. I only know two ways of doing this. Firstly to create different stored procedures and use the calling code to pick one or the other depending on supplied parameters. The other is to do if/or login inside the SP itself on the values of the parameters. Either way presents something of a maintenance nightmare. Is there any other way to do this?
Cheers,
Matt
Is there anyway I can integrate the ssis in Web applications or Windows applications?

Hello, I have setup web sync from wm 5.0 and it seems to crash when applying the snapshot. Looking at the column definitions it seems fine. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

I have never applied a service pack to sql server 2000. Someone tells me that you have an option of supplying the SA password but do not have to and the service pack is applied just as if you did supply the SA password. This sounds odd to me. So, is it true? I am asking because our server instance shows "SP4" but a fix that was supposed to be included in SP4 was apparently not as the problem persists (link from sql server 2005 to 2000 fails when referenced in sql2005). I was thinking that whoever ran the service pack may not have provided the SA password so some of the SP4 was not applied???
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "s-1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Thanks.
Ok I already have a
database layed out with several tables and relationships set up, and i
went ahead and built a bunch of pages that I was planning on using.
While i was doing this I ran into 2 problems, the first was i wrote
some SQL statements to insert data from input boxes into some tables i
have in my database, i used a catch exception statement as well as a
if/else statement to handle the transfer to diffirent pages like a
signup succeded or failed, the problem im having is that the data isnt
saving into the database. (I was modeling my code after the Video 8 in the
Learning SQL server 2005 Express Edition for Beginners Video Series....
I actually got them to work......sorta....) When i test it no
exceptions are thrown and it continues on like nothing went wrong. The
other Problem i ran into was i realized i wanted to use the memberships
and roles provided by ASP.NET 2.0, and since i already created the pages for the site, i was
wondering if there was a way to add them in. This site isnt anything
fancy at all, i wanted to try and create a app where users sign up and
create an account on the site, but i also wanted to have the
flexability to insert and retrieve data from the database with out
having to be stuck in the templates. Sorry for the long story im
trying to give all the info possible. Any help on this would be
great! Thanks!
Is there a way to apply .css or Skin files to all reports. Changing colors in each and every page is a little cumbersome.

Our update of KB 934458 to SQL Server 2005 SP2 has failed on a Windows 2003 SP2 server. This is a standard version of SQL Server.
The error reported is:
Error Number : 29506
Error Description : MSP Error: 29506 SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file e:MSQLMSSQLData for user Administrator. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
I have verified that Administrator has full control permissions for the folder indicated in the error message. The SQL Server Service account also has full control permissions on the folder.
I have run the update as administrator without any access restriction.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
I have some C# code written a little while that imports data nightly
into a database. Most of the data is typically deleted from the tables
and imported again. There are some tables where data is never deleted
and references other tables. Because there are constraints between
these tables, the code processes the import in the following sequence.
get constraints from database->drop constraints->delete data->apply
constaints->import data
I was curious how I can accomplish similiar results in SSIS. I know I
can execute a process task to manage the constraints, but I was
wondering if there is any other way.
Thanks,
PJ
Hi,
I'm retrieving data from a cube using a datareader, all the measures have format string, but when retrieve from Integration services it's lost.
I know there is a way to get the format string as columns using extended properties of the conection. I haven't tried this yet, but is there any way of reapplying this format to the columns using this format strings??
thanks
I am DBA and have worked for 3 years on sql Server 7 production servers. I briefly looked at SQL 2000 on desktop edition.
Should I be worried about applying for dba positions which have SQL 2000 production server environment. Companies will ask how much SQL 2000 experiance I have. I feel a little nervous as I have not the exposure to a live SQL 2000 production server environment.
From what I have seen the bread and butter DBA tasks have not changed between sql 7 and sql 2000.
I am hoping to get the opinion of fellow DBA's on this subject.
Thanks Pargat
We need to apply the transactional log for business hours (9-5) everyday to a oracle instance which will be seeded with SQL Data for once. And then every day the transactional log would be applied.
We need to do this as eventually this server is moving to oracle.
At this point if somebody could help me to read the transactional log that would be great.
Thanks,

Hi. Was hoping to get some advice on applying a hotfix to a SQL Server 2005 failover Cluster.
The hotfix I am applying (KB933508) relates to a Maintenance Plans issue with Server 2005 Service Pack 2. During installation I'm advised that unless the SQL Server and other services are stopped a reboot will be required, although I can still install the hotfix. However the installation is failing. There are error details in the relevant logs created in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix to the effect that the 'Debug' value in registry key 'SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller' can't be read and that SQL Server was unable to add a user (the account under which SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services run) to a local group (the domain group in which SQL Server logins are contained).
Is this something simple like explicitly shutting down the services first before applying the hotfix or is there something else going on?

I've got a 4 node SQL 2008R2 cluster (configured 2 active - 2 passive), and 9 instances, of which all but one are on SP1 (the most recent addition is on SP2).
I need to apply a hotfix (Cumulative Update 6 for SP1) to just one instance. Can I do this by failing over the affected instance to one of the passive nodes, applying the hotfix, and failing it back again or do I need to apply the hotfix to all nodes as detailed in:
SQL Server failover cluster rolling patch and service pack process
i.e. will it involve a little downtime for all instances on the cluster?
I generated a snapshot and it completed Successfully.
How do I apply the snapshot so that the data is refreshed?

I have a 2 way cluster and I want to apply SP4 on it.
Basically, I have 2 servers. Server A runs a default instance and another instance. While the default services is disabled and the other instance is running, Server B runs the default instance and has the other instance disabled. This basically acts like a 2 way cluster (active/passive).
How can I apply SQL Server 2000 SP4 on the 2 servers and have all the nodes come up the correct way? What are the steps to achieve this?

Hi,
Apologies if this question is similar to one posted under "Click once deployment" but I got no replies and I REALLY need to know the answer to my problem!
I am using VB on VS 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express.
My application is nearing the stage where I can start to use real data (from the end user) for testing purposes. Once I am as happy as I can be, I will install the application on the user's machine and he will use the application for a few weeks, with real data, before giving me a list of problems/suggested improvements etc.
I will then need to make the changes and re-install the application on his machine without losing all the changes he has made to the DB in those weeks.
Presumably, there must be a way of updating the executables without making changes to the DB on the client machine.
This is a very serious issue for me as the data will be around 2,000 records each of over 60 fields and the raw data will come from a variety of sources including paper so the data inputting will be a massive task that I do not want to repeat!
Also, if the application were ever to be sold, then other users would want to apply updates to the software whilst keeping their own data secure.
I have tried re-publishing and installing the application after setting the Publish Status of the DB files to "Exclude" but the newly installed application fails to connect to the old version of the DB.
I would very much appreciate any help in this matter as I hope I haven't just wasted several months of coding!

My client cannot workout how to apply diagonally aligned text on a report.
We need to apply the text on statements and invoices to alert the clients to accelerate their payment, or notify them of account issues.
Could someone please tell me where I could find the information required to do this so I can forward it to the client.
Hello,
I am using Merge replication for synching data between SQL Server 2005 and Mobile units (SQL CE 3.5). I have created one publication and there are around 300 subscribers in the production.
If I want to use a HostName() filter so that each user gets his or her own data, do I have to set up 300 different subscriptions with different HOSTNAME values or can I use the same subscription somehow?
I would appreciate if someone can let me know whats the best way to approach this problem.
Thanks

Dear MSDN Support,
Here i am back with an inquiry about the last process of Merge Replication between SQL Mobile 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
Well i have performed all the steps found in the tutorial of the SQL Mobile Edition Books Online, and everything went on so fine and smooth. Now when i deploy my application on the Pocket PC emulator all possible SQL queries work and modify the data only in the emulator, i had installed ActiveSync 4.0 and it synchronizes the SQL Mobile data with the SQL Mobile server only when i copy the database from the emulator to my desktop, and this way is not efficient to my project, i need a better way to synchronize the data between the database on the emulator and that on the SQL Mobile Server.
I'll be looking forward to getting your help as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention.
Best Regards;

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.
