Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a way that the SQL server resets every few hours. I am using an application which is heavily utilising SQL server and the server crashes every now and then. I can reset it manually but I was wondering if there is a way that it detects the crash and reset itself automatically. Thanks a million in advance.

Thank You.

We want to merge 2 SQL servers into one. This means we will have duplicate logins with differing passwords.
We want to reset all the passwords on one server to something memorable. Does anyone have a script that cursor through (or trans - I'm not shy) all the logins in a mster db? I really don't fance going through hundreds of logins changing their passwords by hand!
Hi there,
This is probably a really obvious question but I have been struggling with answering it for about two days now. (I may even be in the wrong forum) I work in a company with an internal network set up. I have been trying to connect to our website via FTP and it has worked ... well it did in the beginning. I think the server that our website is hosted on is a Unix server - this is a guess from reading the FTP transcripts of the various programs I've downloaded and tried out in an attempt to connect to it.
What happened:
I was working on an .ASP page in Dreamweaver, hit save without thinking, realised I wanted to make a few additional changes before uploading it onto the server, cancelled the transaction and voila. I haven't been able to connect to the remote server since.
Depending on the FTP program that I am using, I get a connection error along these lines:
- "Connection to the server was reset" "The server may temporarily be down or unavailable or not accepting connections"
I am a big newbie at this. I have turned off the windows firewall and tried turning on and off passive IP. I can connect from home but not from inside the building which has me think this has to do with a stray setting somewhere. My housemate suggested I try using the "telnet" command from DOS and see can I get any sort of connection from work. If I can't, he said, it's probably a firewall on the internal network itself.
Any other suggestions?
Help would be welcome!
Thanks.

I need to calculate running total which resets when reached to 16, and also needs to calculate remaining amount as paid.
I have attached sample data, so we have two columns Earned, and Used. And we need to calculate Balance, and Paid columns.
I have a local instance of SQL 2012 express,
Somehow my admin privileges have been lost, and the sa password is not Password123.
Is there anyway to reset this password without re-installing SQL server.
I have come up with an issue where I want to update data in a table using bulk/SET update to get the result shown in below code with output in column titled "Arrear Amt".
Please use this test data.
CREATE TABLE ##vOD_Calc
(
Seq_No INT ,
Contract_id INT ,
Rental_id INT ,
Actual_OD INT ,
Logic_OD INT ,
Due_dte DATETIME ,
[Code] .....
Logic required is that once the sum of column [ArrearAmt] of current row and all previous rows becomes greater than $100 then column [ChArrrearAmt] should show that summed up value and in else case the column [ChArrrearAmt] should show the same value as that of column [ArrearAmt].
Once the column [ChArrrearAmt] reaches the threshold of $100 then the same cycle should start again i.e. in above example rental#1 had $37.17 < $100 then rental#1 + rental#2 is also < $100 and at rental#3 sum of rental#1, rental#2 and rental#3 becomes $111.51 which is greater than $100 so its updated in column [CHArrrearAmt]. The same cycle start overs from rental#4 onwards however the summation of [ArrearAmt] will now begin after rental#4 onwards and not from the starting.
Below is the loop based SQL script which handles the above situation, however in BULK its a total deterioration of performance if thousands of rows are to be processed i.e. with a contract having multiple rentals.
The case here is that I have to use the result of previously updated column value of [ChArrrearAmt] to take decision for the next row, however with BULK update since the row is not yet updated with latest amount therefore the decision on next row is also giving wrong result.
This is the code with which I have achieved to update the column 'chArrear Amount', however its a loop based solution and performance killer.
INSERT INTO ##vOD_Calc_loop
( Rows_count ,
contract_id
)
SELECT COUNT(*) ,
T.Contract_id
FROM ##vOD_Calc T
GROUP BY T.Contract_id
[Code] ....
I wanna to create a linked server which connect to oracle. Here are my steps:
1.Install Oracel drivers Oracle Data Access Components.
2.Configure the Oracle Ole DB provider to run inside the SQL Server process and configure it to accept parameters. exec

'ORAOLEDB.Oracle',
N'AllowInProcess', 1
exec master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop
'ORAOLEDB.Oracle',
N'DynamicParameters', 1
3.Create linked server with scripts:
exec sp_addlinkedserver N'MyOracle1', 'Oracle', 'ORAOLEDB.Oracle', N'//10.154.14.235', N'FetchSize=2000', ''
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname='MyOracle', @useself=N'FALSE', @rmtuser=N'root', @rmtpassword='Sqlexp!23'
4. After create successful and testing the connection ,I got the error below.(My windows firewall is turn off)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle".OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle" returned message "ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

How do I stop a remote query that INSERTS into a local table from being automatically "upgraded" to a distributed transaction?
I am using Windows 2000 server and SQL Server 2000 SP3a on both machines.
I am executing the following statement in Query analyzer.
INSERT MyLocalServer (col1)
EXECUTE MyRemoteServer.Master.dbo.sp_executesql
@RemoteQuery,
@ParameterDefinition,
@Paramter = 'somevalue'
@RemoteQuery consists of a SELECT four-table join, all tables are on the same linked server.
The Linked server has been set up on MyLocalServer using the "Microsoft OLE DB for SQL Server" provider. In the "Provider Options" for the linked server properties I checked "Non transacted updates" and "dynamic parameters". In the "Server Options" tab I have checked "RPC", "RPC Out", "Data Access".
The EXECUTE part of the query runs great (and returns the data very fast) by itself. But with the INSERT part, the query fails and returns the error:
"Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 17
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]."
The two servers are seperated by firewalls, so I believe the reason the query is failing is that I haven't followed the procedures for setting up the ports etc described in one of the microsoft support articles: e.g.: 250367.
Configuring the ports involves too much company politics, and besides, for what this query does, it does not need the benefits of a distributed transaction.
How can I execute my query without SQL Server automatically trying to upgrade it to a distributed transaction?
More Info: I can execute the query as a straight INSERT/SELECT linked-server query and it does the INSERT on the local SQL Server just like I want it to, so I assume it is not trying to use distributed transactions; but it takes around 7 seconds to run even though the entire SELECT is executed on the linked server, whereas executing with sp_executesql takes only 1 second.
I thought selected "non-transacted updates" in the provider would solve this problem, but it did not.
Anyone know the answer?
I have table A and table B. i want if table A add records, automatically table b add records too.

I'm looking for a way to get the name of the server on which the DTS package lives.
I copy packages between servers. The problem is that everytime a package is copied
to different server, I have to change the reference in the connection strings to point
to the new server name. I'd like to find an automatic way to interrogate the server
name where the package currently lives and dynamically change connection strings
from within an ActiveX task. That would cut maintenance way down.
I installed SQL Sp2 and at the same time took Carbon Copy off. No when the machine comes up neither SQL Server or the Agent will not come up. If I go to Service manager I can start both just fine. Nothing in either log to show why. Anyplace or any thoughts

I have a laptop with vista and sql 2005. When i start my computer, after it boots up and is ready to go, I look in the task manager at the process tab. Some sort of SQL Server component is running and eating up about 50k's worth of memory. What is it and how do set either Vista or SQL Server to not start whatever this is unless I do it manually(oh yeah...how would I turn it on?)and what are the ramifications of not having it start up when i start my laptop?
I know it is a rather rambling question, but its the best I can describe it. Thanks in advance for your help!

-Lisa Stone 6/4 - 3 yrs
How can I get it so instead of manually changing that text every month, it will look at a SQL database and automatically change that text every month? I'm guessing the pseudocode would be if the b-day or anniv. month matches the current month, display the first and last name, the date, and number of years (which would have to be calculated maybe?) Any help would be GREAT! Thanks!!

I have developing sample application for automatically send failure mail to respective person. Also i have storing all the failure mail details to database for unavailability of mail server. Once if the mail server available that time we will send all the failure mail to respective person.
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan anyone direct me to a code that would automatically apply transaction logs to a DB in the standby server? We have a process that dumps the transaction log backup from the primary server into the backup server every hour on the hour, but I need to apply that transaction log as soon as it is in the standby server.
I am sure someone will ask, why not do transactional replication or log shipping? My answer to that is I have yet to learn how to setup replication between servers. I need to get our backup server up and running in the next few days.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is the weirdest this I have ever seen in a long time. I have MS SQL Server running on a server and use Enterprise Manager a lot. Well, the damndest thing happens when I log onto the server from the console and run Enterprise Manager. If I go into Enterprise Manager, and go to a database and then select a table and right-click, and run the "Open Table" option; the entire Enterprise Manager application mysterously closes.
This only happens from the server console and through Remotely Anywhere...it does not happen when I log onto the server from Remote Desktop.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Does anyone know a fix for this?
I have a SSIS data flow task that downloads data from an Oracle source which has some real dates and some date values of 0001-01-01 which I am trying to convert to '1900-01-01' using a decode(Date1,'0001-01-01','1900-01-01',Date1). The problem I am having is that when I run the package in Business Intelligence Development Studio on my local machine the date value is stored correctly in the SQL table in a datetime field as 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM, however when I run the package from the server the field gets saved as 1/1/2001 12:00:00 AM.
I have tried a bunch of ways to work around this issue and the only solution I have found that works it to download into a temp table and then load into the live table. Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this issue when I run the package from the server?
I have a problem setting the default value of a column. I am trying to set it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),0))
However, SQL Server automatically sets it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),(0)))
While it functionally does not change anything, we have a tool which compares the database schema against a pre-existing schema and shows this as an error.I have tried setting the value directly and through scripts but it does not work either way.

I have a SQL Server 2005 HTTP endpoint. I create a transaction scope in a client application and call two methods on that endpoint. Will the operations performed in the two methods, really, be in a transaction?
In other words, will SQL Server enlist in the ambient transaction even when I am accessing it through a HTTP endpoint?
Thanks.
Hello all,
We are deploying an application using SQL Server Express to a wide variety of desktop and laptop machines. We are currently trying to decide whether we should install the SQL Server instance service to start automatically at startup or not. In the latter case, our application would start and stop the service.
Starting automatically will make our app load more quickly, which is important to our users. However, our support team is concerned that leaving the service running will leave our databases vulnerable to becoming "suspect" if, for example, a laptop user's battery dies suddenly. Of course this will always be a problem if the app is running, but our support team believes that having the service running all the time will increase the chances of this happening. One reason for their concern is that an older version of the software used MSDE which was running all the time, and they saw a good number of suspect database issues.
What is the best practice for leaving the service running, especially when there are a lot of laptop users?
Thanks,
Ben
automatically replicates new databases to Availability Group partners - if you do a little prep work on your environment first.To make it work:
1) Create linked servers on all group members pointing to all other servers in the group, with names matching the hostnames they represent.
2) Ensure suitable credentials (or 'current context' impersonation) for linked servers. Also: Enable RPC and RPC OUT
3) Run the DDL code below.
4) Schedule hadr_replicate_queue on [master] to run as often as you want initial syncs to occur. Every 5-10 minutes is plenty for most purposes.
5) Connect to an availability group listener and call CREATE DATABASE :)
I use a slightly more extended version of this code at home to do things like permissions synchronization across replicas - I essentially allow applications to install direct to an availability group replica and then have all the relevant objects replicate to other nodes. I don't really like going through manually and doing things, even though there's an AddIn from SQLSkills for management studio - it still requires manual intervention.
The main use I have for this at home is that I'm using the Azure pack, and want to automatically ensure that my newly created 'SQL Server Cloud' databases are highly available, plus it means when I install a non-alwayson aware product it doesn't require any extra work afterwards to allow failover to another machine.
