CONNECTING TO ACCESS DATA Via SQL Server Managemnt Studio
Oct 12, 2006
HI All, forgive me but I am new to SQL Server.
My question is in 2 parts. THe first - Could anyone point me to a tutorial or give me a quick pointer? I want to View my Access 2003 datatables through Server MAngement Studio. I cannot however work this out or find articles on it. Is it possible? Are there any wlakthroughs?
The second Part - Eventually I want to create an SQL database, which is comprised of tables which use (point to) MS ACCESS as there datasource. An unchangeable existing piece of software uses Access as the UI, so I want to leave my data in access, and just set up some pointers from the SQL database tables to read in data from these access tables as when required.
Is that a clear question? Am I making any sense?? PLease let me know as I am scratching my head a lot at the moment!!
Cheers guys,
Anthony

I have a windows 2008 with SQL Server 2008 R2 VM on Azure. I am trying to connect to the SQL server for the first time using SSMS, but have not been able it. I have a VPN tunnel, so I am connecting using Windows authentication. The error I get back from SSMS is:
Login failed for user 'domainusername'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456).In the event viewer I see this error message: Login failed for user 'domainusername'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I have done the following:
- created an endpoint for port 1433
- opened port 1433 in the firewall
- Ran the MSSQLSERVER service as the build-in users Network Services, Local System, and Local Service, and as a local and domain administrator, with the same exact result each time.
- I get the same result trying to connect locally or remotely.
- I get the same result trying to connect using sqlcmd.

I have a client who has SSMS installed on her laptop. She is able to connect to the SQL server via SSMS in the office and query data on the server.
She needs to be out of site often and doesn't have internet access. She asks if the data tables can be "backed up" or saved on her laptop, so she can look at them without worrying connecting to the server. I am not sure if this can be achieved, as SSMS is built for accessing a server, not a desktop. Myself never have this need. If I really need it, I would go to Microsoft Access and create an ODBC connection to the datatables. But this client thinks that Microsoft Access is beneath her.

I am trying to connect to a sql server 2005 server using either the SQL Server Management Studio program using either windows auth or sql server auth but I can not. When I click on the connect button to connect to a server it never connects. I can not cancel once I press connect. It never times out after I press connect. I removed all registered servers that were registered previously. I have uninstalled all software that involved sql server (and sql2000) run a registry cleaner(not microsofts), installed the software to a new directory and still I can not connect to the sql2005 server (the only db).
I tested the connection from my machine to the production database system using osql and it worked fine. I registered the server tested the connection (using the management studio) and it tested fine. When I try to connect to the database engine it does not work.
When I had another user login to my machine and launch the SQL Server Management Studio I noticied that it ran a configuration utility for first use. When I uninstalled the SQL Server Management Studio on my machine it never came up again. Is there any way that I can get the configuration utility to run again on my account?
Any ideas? Things to test?

Hi all,
I got this problem which makes me struggle in the last few days.
I am able to connect to my local server using a query analyzer or calling sql commands in a window application, but there's no way I can access it in Management Studio: by clicking "Connect" it just waits forever, and it doesn't respond to any other command (it must be shut by terminating the process)
Got any hints?
Thanks
Mauro

Dear All,
I am trying to connect to a remote sql server 2005. So I have install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I try to connect I get the error below.
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53). Can some one please help. I have even port no 1533 on my pc. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I am running into a problem and have been browsing the web and reading nonstop for answers with no success. My company just installed SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to connect to it via SQL Server Management Studio from my network computer in the same office building.
When I browse for Local or Network Servers in the initial popup box at SQL Management Studio Startup, it doesn't show any servers at all. Is there something I need to enable on the Server using the Configuration Manager or one of the other tools to allow my network computer to "see" the SQL Server?
Any insight would be MUCH appreciated. Even a link to a how-to would suffice. Thank you.

Or isthere a different solution that I'm missing? There are way too manyfor me tosetup. Thanks in advance.

I have set up an MSDE SQL Server in my Win XP Pro PC and am able to connect to it on the host PC, and over my LAN. However, when I try to connect to it over the Internet my connection is refused with the following message:SQL server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())Some background:I have router/NAT firewall and have opened port 1433 (I have even tried a DMZ to the SQL Server machine). The Router is definitely going to the SQL Server PC! I am fairly certain that the connection string is correct.Any help would be most gratefully received.

As a database developer, I have so many databases that I "own" scattered across various servers that it''s getting difficult to remember where all of my databases reside. It doesn't work that the DBAs have taken to some very hard to remember server naming conventions.
I was going to create aliases via the configuration manager, but it turns out the DBAs overwrite my entries each night with THEIR aliases and they won't add any for my use.
So I decided to simply add some records to my host file so that instead of having to connect to "SERVER-AD_DADF-DAFDASS" I can just use "CustomerA".
This solution seems to work until I tried to access a linked server. If I connect to the main server via it's actual name, I can hit the remote/linked server with no issue. However, if I connect to the main server using it's alias, connection to the remote/linked server fails with: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
The linked server is set up to use current security context and I'm not logging into the alias any differently that I do when using the actual server name.

First time I've tried doing this - I have SQL Server 2012 installed on my local machine with an instance running (which was set up under an administrator account, not mine, which has no admin rights), and I'm trying to create a linked table from Access (also on the local machine) to a table on the server.
I tried creating a DSN using Windows Authentication, using the server name which is the same as my computer name, and got the error "Error 18452, Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication".
I then created a SQL authentication user ID and password, and tried the same thing using that instead, and got "Login failed for user <myusername>"
Is there some particular setting on the local instance I need to change to allow this kind of connection, or do I need to use something other than the server name to connect, such as an IP address? Remember that I have no admin access on this machine so any solution would have to avoid requiring that.

I want to use SQL Server to query an Access Database with about 40,000 rows of data. If possible, I don't want to upsize the database because others need acess to it in the ACC97 format. Is there a way to use ODBC to connect to the ACC97 database so that I can use the SQL query capability of SQL server to query the database.
I know access allows you to write some SQL queries but I need the power of the SQL server and now it is a matter of curiosity because I've been searching for this answer for about 8 hours.

I am using SQL 2000 (Standard Edition, SP4) and have created a linked server to access a Access MDB file. When I run a simple query against that server, I get the error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].
I am able to connect to this same Access MDB file from another SQL server (SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition, SP4). I have compared the two servers and they both have the same version of MDAC (2.8) and the same version of the Jet OLE DB Provider.
Any idea why this would work from one server and not from the other. Also, I was able to perform the same queries from the first server a week back.
Thanks in advance for you help.

I am trying to develop a package using SSIS to get rid of Informatica.
But I am not able to connect to the SSIS from the SQL Server Management Studio. The error message is 'Connect to SSIS Service on machine XXXXX failed: Access denied'. I am using Windows authentication and I am in the DTSADMIN role. I have 'dbo' privileges in all the databases in the Server where the SSIS Service is running (Yes, I checked and the SSIS Service is running). The SSIS is installed in the same Server as my SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition is running.
I can see that the same issue is posted by many people and no answer is posted againt it. It will be greatly appreciated by many beginners to SSIS if the answer to this question is available generally.
I have another question too. How do I transfer data between two databases in two SQL Server 2000 machines using SSIS? I really want to use something like the BCP OUT and BCP IN with memory pipes to avoid the intermediate data landing. How do I achieve it? I do not want to use the linkedserver here because of the excessive logging for the huge data volume I have.
Any answer to the above questions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I just installed SQL Server Compact Edition, since I am considering using it instead of SQL Server Express for a local database in my application. The documentation mentioned that I could use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to the Compact Edition and create and manipulate databases.
To try to connect, I run Management Studio and bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog. Unfortunately, the pull-down list of "Server name"s does not include the SQL Server Compact Edition server. I do not know how to type in the server name manually, so I cannot connect.
To install Compact Edition, I downloaded it and ran "SQLServerCE31-EN.msi". This installed, and I assume registered, a number of DLLs in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1".
Is there perhaps an additional step that I left out to complete the installation?
Might I need an upgrade to some other components? My Management Studio Version is:
- Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you,
WTW

ok so i have set up SQL server 2005 on a Windows server 2003 machine. I am trying to connect to it via ODBC and/or Visual Studio 2005 on a computer running off the same switch. I have set SQL server to accept remote connections and named pipes as well as had the port unblocked. when i try and connect to it via Vista ODBC wizard or visual studio wizard it says that the server is not there or access is denied.
The server is set up for SQL authentication and i am 100% pos that the username/password i am using is correct. i am at a total loss as to what to do to get my vista machine to talk to that SQL server.

Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.
Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?
Please help a newbie
Thanks

I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard & need to develop a backward-compatible DTS Package for a VB6 Application in Business Intelligence Studio, but cannot find it from the Start Menu or any Toolbar Buttons or Menus in either SQL Configuration Manager or SQL Server Management Studio Express. I know SSIS was included in the Install, so the Business Intelligence Studio should be here somewhere. Also, I know I made sure all available options were chosen during the installation.

This should be simple - using the server explorer I select the server and then the database that's running on that server. It lets me test the database connection at that point - which does work.
Then when I try to add the database it says -
Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=10.0.0 ... The system cannot find the file specified.
So far as I can see the specified file is Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll which has a current version of 9.0.242.0 and sits within the SQL Server files. That is also the version number held in the registry.
The version of SQL is 2005. The database was created using Create Database through VS 2008, .net 3.5.
Also, I installed VS 2008 first, which puts in SQL Compact. And then tried installing SQL 2005 Development which still gave the same error message. So I uninstalled SQL Compact and SQL 2005. And then did a clean install of SQL 2005 Developer. Does VS 2008 cope with this?
Is there a version 10 of SMO? Or is there somewhere within SQL or Visual Studio where it could be holding a version number of 10 for the dll? Or any other ideas?
Thanks Mike

Hi:
I have 4 named instances of SQL 2005 running on one of our sales server (dont ask me why I have 4 instances.Its a beefy box btw). All the instances have SSIS Packages (around 6-7 in each instance) saved to the SQL server and not to the file system. The issue is every time i need to look at the packages or export the packages from SSMS I have to edit the MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml and type in the named instance name within the <ServerName></ServerName> tag . I then have to restart my SSIS. I dont see an easier approach to this method.
This is causing me a lot of unnecessary time waste. is there anyway this can be automated where in i can pass the instance name dynamically to the ini file or even more best, can I have all the instance names in the ini file and some how look at the packages in each Instance. I am not sure how having all the instance names in the ini file woud resolve the issue though.
I know I can use BIDS which is much more flexible and a recommended approach but need a solution for looking at SSIS packages through SSMS in all of the 4 instances. I look forward to recommendations from anyone who have better ideas and suggestions.
Thank you

Hello,
I am having problems connecting to my SQL Server instance with Management Studio; basically the setup is as follows;
*Single server running windows 2003 enterprise - in a workgroup not domain
*SQL Server is installed on this machine
*When I try and connect from the same machine using its own IP address and Windows authentication I get the 18452 error "login failed for {NULL} user"
I am testing it like this because Sharepoint is failing in configuration wizard because it is connecting the same way - at least the login failure audit logs say the same.
Many thanks for answers
