Certificate Loading Issue - When Creating Certificate From SQL Server To SQL Server Express On The Same Machine
Jun 29, 2007Hi, We are trying to implement Service Broker between SQL Server Express and SQL Server on the Same machine and we are having problems with certificates. We are creating a certificate on SQL Server, backing up the certificate on a file system and then loading certificate on the SQL Server Express from the file and we are keep getting the following error: Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
Following script runs fine on SQL Server.
Code Snippet
use master
Create Master Key Encryption BY Password = '45Gme*3^&fwu';
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk'
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
WITH Subject = 'C.Server.Local',
START_DATE = '06/01/2006',
EXPIRY_DATE = '01/01/2008'
ACTIVE FOR BEGIN_DIALOG = ON;
BACKUP CERTIFICATE EndPointCertificateC
TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
Following script runs on SQL Server Express:
Code Snippet
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
From FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
);
If we run the script other way around, it works fine. If we use the SQL Server on some other machine, the script works fine. But only on the same machine, it throws this error. We made sure the permissions and everything. Let us know if there is any work around or what are we doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
Row Size Limitations Of SQL Server 2005
Aug 13, 2007I've created a database design and I'm trying to figure out if it's workable or not. I have 2 tables in particular that are sparse (20 columns, but only a few have data - about 100 bytes/row) but will grow very large - to the tune of 700 million rows.
My question is whether or not there is a problem with SQL Server 2005 having 1.5+ billion rows of data even though it will likely only take up 100 gigs or so on disk. Anyone have experience in large numbers of rows like this? We're still doing testing as far determining how slow queries will get.
Thanks,

SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Limitations
Oct 22, 2006Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I'm trying to find out what the limitations of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (DE) are. I've gone through the Microsoft SQL Server site and they have very little information about the developer edition.Is there a connection limit for DE like 2000 did?

Nov 20, 2007Dear,
I'm building an ASP.NET application using C# language and SQL Server 2000. This application is dedicated to be hosted on a VIsta Machine.Unfortunately Vista does not supports SQL SERVER 2000 so i must migrate to the SQL SERVER 2005. Since the application is a small application, we couldn't afford buying an SQL SERVER 2005 License so i decided to use SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition. But i would like to know exactly what are the Limitation on the Express Edition to see if it will work with my application or No. Please Can anyone refer any document that describes in details all the limitation of the Express Edition ??? Thanks a lot.
Sql Server Reporting Services 2005 Limitations
Dec 20, 2007Hi,
Apologies for the generic subject heading but I have a client who at my suggestion has implemented a reporting solution using SSRS. However, we are now finding serious limitations with this solution, primarily regarding exporting matrix data to Excel. The major concern is that after exporting matrix data you cannot sort, filter or format properly as we cannot repeat the group data, merged cells is also another big problem.
They are now seriously looking at bringing in different technology to address these problems and I was wondering if anybody had any positive ideas, as to how I can provide a way forward and overcome our issues?
Can I easily add an add-in to the existing export options, does SQL 2008 offer any improvements, are there any 3rd party offerings out there?
Grateful for any advice.
Cannot Install Sql Server 2005 As SSL-certificate Is Missing
Mar 30, 2007Hi there U all,
for the third time I am installing SQL-Server 2005 express and i have an error.
Cannot install sql because .NET 2.0 framework is missing allthough I have the .NET 2.0 framework allready installed and even re-installed it too. When trying again I get the message that there isn't an SSL-certificate present.
My question is, would this probably cause the error when installing?
Anyone?
Grtz and thx,

Import OpenSSL Certificate With Private Key Into Sql Server 2005 Express Edtion
Jul 7, 2006hey,
i have a problem, to import a self signed openssl certificate into the sql server 2005.
my final idea is to get encrypted columns from the database over an jdbc connection in a java client.
when i use a certificate generated by the sql server 2005, i can encryt columns of a table. then i catch the
the result in my java client. but in java, i need a keystore with the private key of the certificate.
ok. i have export the the certificate and the private key of the sql server 2005.
problem: in a keystore i can only import the certificate (signed public key) but not the private key.
my new idea is to import an openssl certificate or an certificate generated by the keytool (java) into the
sql server 2005 and encypt the data with the imported certificate. Problem: The SQL Server give me an
Exception: (Sorry i drag & drop the exception, is written in german)
Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Die Datei für das Zertifikat, den asymmetrischen Schlüssel oder den privaten Schlüssel ist nicht vorhanden oder weist ein ungültiges Format auf.
My Import Statement is:
CREATE CERTIFICATE InsuranceCertOpenSSL
FROM
FILE = 'E:masterkeysinsuranceservice_tomcat_apr_x509_certificate_with_cygwin_openssl_20060630insuranceservice_tomcat_x509_certificate_with_openssl.crt'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (

DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'testit2_',
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'testit2_'
)
I use password encryption, and not the internal master key (or service master key)
Hope for help :)

Memory Limitations, 2005 Standard
Mar 9, 2006Hi all,I have recently implemented a SQL 2005 cluster using SQL 2005 Standardon Windows 2003 Enterprise edition.Both nodes have 4GB of RAM and according to the datasheet, SQL 2005Standard can support the OS maximum memory amount and Win2K3 EntEdition can support 64GB!However, in Enterprise Manager, if I go to the "Memory" tab of theinstance properties I can't increase the memory beyond 2147483647(which I assume is around 2GB).I don't have AWE enabled but am unsure as to the ramifications of this.Any advice anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,Ian

May 21, 2008
Is there a document/technical article/white paper, basically, some information as to what can be exported into a particular format and what cannot be.
I have a report which is fine when exporting to Excel but doesnt export to XML or CSV. All I get in XML or CSV is just a heading. I am thinking, may be its not right to export that report into XML or CSV formats.
Has this happened to anybody before? Any advise is appreciated.
SQL 2005 Express And CPU/Memory Limitations.
Jul 8, 2006SQL Express Ed is limited to one CPU, what happens if the CPU is a dual core CPU? Does SQL Express care? Does it see a dual core as a single CPU?
As for memory, stupid question, SQL Express is limited to 1 GB RAM, if I run it on a server with say 4GB of ram packed into it, will it affect SQL Express' performance? Will SQL Express even run if there is more than 1GB available? Or will SQL Express simply ignore the extra RAM with no negative consequences?
Thanks,
Andy

SQL 2005 SKUUpgrade Certificate Error
Jan 29, 2008
I am trying to upgrade from SQL 2005 Standard to Enterprise in our Production environment. I am testing this currently on a VM to document and script the steps necessary what we would need to do during a maintenance window when I can have this server offline.
I am getting the following error:
'SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]
The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and the run SQL Server Setup again.'
How can I find the entries, or remove them. We do not typically do this, and I explicitly didn't do this on the test server. I have tried this with 2 different VM builds and I'm getting the same error.
When going in to Control Panel, AddRemove Programs, SQL 2005 x64, Change, I can rerun the Suspended setup and it errors with the same Problem.
How can I get around this short of uninstalling and reinstalling the product? Is there another part of the SKUupgrade switch I need to append? I'm saving this as a batch file and running it from the command line.
Here is my command line entry:
Net use Z: /delete
Net use Z: "\<Fileserver>SoftwareMicrosoftSQL2005Enterprise Edition x64"

SQL 2005, SSL - Certificate Request, Ports
Nov 14, 2006I would like to use SSL on SQL Server 2005.
With SSL, is all traffic from the client to the database on port 443 ? Or are other ports needed ?
With Windows Certificate Management Snap-in, a request for a certificate assumes that there is a local Certificate Authority. I don't have one and it is my understanding that I should buy a third party certificate to avoid a man in the middle attack. With IIS there is a certificate request process. Is there something similar I should use with SQL ?
Thank you.

SQL Server Express Limitations
Jun 21, 2006I was looking around, and I found this info on SQL Server Express:The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log
files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be
attached to the server.Does this mean I can use several different databases in my website, like one separate db containing forum entries, and one with user details and related stuff?
Practical Limitations With SQL Server
Oct 12, 2000We are primarily a DB2 and Oracle shop. There are movements towards SQL Server for smaller applications. We would like to know if anyone out there has shop standards in determining which database should go with what type of application. What we are looking for are possibly database sizes, number of concurrent users, hardware and software cost, network infrastructure, security, scalability, and development tools. Any information would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPractical Limitations Of SQL Server?
Jul 20, 2005Hi all,I'm looking for some ball park estimates on when SQL Server might startto break down, and can't find any reliable info. Any insight is appreciated.Basically, the situation is this: The database structure is very simple;just one table with about 15 columns and about 60-75 million rows. There'sno need for massaging data or complex relations, just simple searches onmaybe a max of 5 columns. Out of the gates we'll be looking at having 30concurrent users and rapidly expanding to about 300-400 concurrent users.I might need to rebuild the database on a daily or weekly basisdepending on how often changes are made to a master file. In the past I'vebeen bit in the butt with the absolute crappiness of SQL Server'sreplication, so I'm going to try to avoid that path if I can (plus I alreadyhave some scripts written to delete and rebuild a similar database on anightly basis). Would it be practical to destroy and rebuild a database thissize on a daily basis?The big question is if searching 60-75 million records is practical inSQL server. If so, what kind of machine would I need to get a nearly instantresponse time per search (.2 second or so) when everyone's banging on it atonce? How many concurrent users can I expect to be able to practicallysupport before SQL Server will start to bog down? Thanks for your thoughts,-Ringo

Jul 20, 2005Why is it, Microsoft manage to write operating systems and officeapplications with every bell and whistle facility known to man. Yet,even after years and years of development they still cannot produce adecent version of MS SQL Server, one without a plethora of flaws andlimitations? Personally I'd sack the MS SQL Server Chief Architect,start addressing some fundementals and do what MS do best - copy thebest functionality of their competitors.Here's a few reasons why I feel MS SQL Server is still a load of crap,and will never be many developers RDBMS of choice :1. Can't use domains in Multi-statement table-valued function tabledefinition2. No concept of table.column.datatype MYTABLE.MYCOLUMN%TYPE forfunction / proc parameters, variables. Schema evolution will requirechanges to dep functions / procs.3. Cannot call non extended user defined procedure from within storedproc - prevents code re-use4. No create or replace for functions / procs. Changes to procsrequire either a change from create to alter, or drop then create5. Functions must return result on final statement - requiresexcessive use of local variables. Why!!!???6. No user specifiable date format routines - must use convert withlimited options7. No treewalk mechanism, not easy to traverse hierarchical structure8. Calling procedures with out parameters require user to alsospecifiy which are out params9. Stored Proc recursion limitations to only 32 nested levels, ratherthan monitoring by stack size.10. No on delete set null referential integrity, this is fundementalin relational databases, has to be done by trigger. Yuk.11. No partitioning on db tables12. Cannot raiseerror in stored functions. No way to inform user ofincorrect parameters etc.13. No facility for sub - procs / funcs - for localised codenormalisation.14. No function overloading15. No concept of grouping similar procs / functions into a collectivepackage - can mean 1000s of procs rather than a handful of packages.16. Non standard func / proc calling - proc non parenthesised but,function defined and called with parenthesis17. Limited column name length in table variables / Multi-statementtable-valued function table definitions18. No intersect, minus operators to complement union and union all19. No exception handling - need I say more about this fundementalrequirement?20. No handling for select statements using proc parameters passed inas null e.g.create procedure sp_test.............select @MyID = IDfrom mytablewhere parent_id = @parent_id.If @parent_id is null, select will not return anything even if valuesfor null parent_id exist.21 No boolean type for use in stored procs / funcs. SQL standards doallow booleans (null, FALSE, TRUE)22 No repeat until - (post predicate loops), while loops can performthis but one extra check often has to be performed23 No equivalent to cursor or table %ROWTYPE, when fetching from amany column cursor, all bind variables have to be declaredindividually24. Declarative Delete cascade in SQL Server is at best rubbish - e.g.No table can appear more than once in the list of all cascadingreferential actions that result from the DELETE or UPDATE. Almost allother RDBMS I've tried seems to manage it.Create Table ForKey(MyID int not null identity primary key,MyText varchar(30))goCreate Table Refs(SomeID int not null primary key,RefID1 int not null foreign key references ForKey(MyID) on deletecascade,RefID2 int not null foreign key references ForKey(MyID) on deletecascade)Server: Msg 1785, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__Refs__RefID2__1BFD2C07' ontable 'Refs' may cause cycles or multiplecascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, ormodify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.Server: Msg 1750, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Could not create constraint. See previous errors.25. Domains cannot be altered without dropping all dependencies(stored procs / funcs) even if type isn't changed but say scale andprecision- this is ridiculous. What is the point of domains?26. No "for loop", while loops can perform this, but resultant code isnot as clear or tidy27. Can't use CURDATE() inside stored procs / funcs. How crap isthat?Don't try and make excuses for MS as I have hundreds, anyone else haveany?Jeager

SQL Server Express - Size Limitations
Mar 13, 2007Hi,
I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.
I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.
Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.
Thanks for your help.
