Hi. Sorry to be asking this. I know there is a KB article with the steps for changing a SQL2K server name, but I can't find it for the life of me.
Anyone have it tagged?

I need to change the default collation of all dbs on all my servers to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI from SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We need to do compares and sorts and want to ignore accents -- something that wasn't clear when we built the servers. I know this has to do with "re-building databases" -- maybe even including the master -- but I'm not certain exactly what this means. Thanks!

At work, we are in the process of moving a server running SQL Server 7 from one domain to another. A part of this domain change will necessitate that the server be renamed. In a couple of tests that we ran we found that changing the domain does not cause problems, but changing the server name does. How does one register the databases with the new server name without reinstalling everything from scratch?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as we are under a time crunch here. Please reply to my email as I am unable to check this board often.
Thanks,
Mike Sinnott

We changed the TCP/IP address on on of our BDC's this weekend (also runs SQL 6.5). Now some of our client workstations are not able to connect to the database using TCP/IP. They can connect with named pipes, but it doesn't "stick" on a reboot. It goes back to connecting with tcp/ip. Some of the client workstations can connect with tcp/ip. Could someone help me with this? I'm confused. I can ping the server by name from the workstations and it resolves the tcp/ip address correctly.

Hi all,I've done some sniffing around but apart from one post in thisnewsgroup haven't been able to find much on this topic.We have recently moved (well, quite a while ago but that's by-the-by)from an NT domain to an AD domain. One of our SQL Servers is stilljoined to the NT domain and, since this domain is soon to bedecommissioned, I need to join this SQL Server to the AD domain.Is there anything I should be on the lookout for WRT this move?As far as I can see, the only thing this would cause an issue withwould be permissions for "logins" etc. This shouldn't be an issue asthe only logins on this SQL Server are either local or from WindowsAuthenticated from our AD domain.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,Ian

Below is the script of a Job called "eFIMS_SendEmail" that I wish torun. The intention is that every day of the week the job will executea SPROC at timed intervals. For example, the SundayRun schedule willrun once every 1 hours from 00:30:00 to 23:59:59However, the clients have stated that they want an interface to this toenable them easily to change the start time and frequency interval foreach day. It's an easy matter for me to paint them a form from withinthe target application to enable the user to enter the start time andinterval for each day. I can then pass these as parameters to a SPROC.How can I use these values to change the schedules for the job? Forexample, if wanted to change SundayRun from once every 1 hours to onceevery 30 mins? I know I could do it the hard way, by using stringmanipulation (e.g. find string 'SundayRun', then look for the nextoccurrence of @active_start_time, @freq_subday_type,@freq_subday_interval etc. and do some replacement) but this seemssomewhat tricky.Many thanksEdward-- Script generated on 8/31/2006 9:27 AM-- By: sa-- Server: BISMARKBEGIN TRANSACTIONDECLARE @JobID BINARY(16)DECLARE @ReturnCode

A server with SQL 2000 installed is moving to a new physical location. Ourcompany standards mean that the name of the server and the IP address of theserver will change also. This SQL instance name is the same as the servername. Will I have to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server (and recover thedatabases) when this move is made so that the instance name equals theserver name? Is there a stored procedure that changes the instance name tothe server name? Thank you.

I would like to modify some of the properties of a ServerReport entity from a desktop app using the ReportViewer control. In particular, I would like to have the document map displayed as expanded, and make some changes to the group toggle items based on the user's parameter selection.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? How do I get access programmatically to the ServerReport layout?
Thx

I changed the name of a server that runs SQL Server 2005 and Reporting Services web site. I can't connect back to reporting services now using the new server name. I had to do some things to get SQL Server and Analysis Services to work, but I can't find any information on getting Reporting Services to run, I found something about changing config files, but no direction on what those files are.
Thanks for any help,

I have a server that is being rebuilt soon and the data storage is going to be be restructured at the same time.
Currently all data, logs and backups are held in the default e:mssql7 directory (on a RAID 1+0 system).
After restructure data will be one one drive (RAID 5), backups logs and templdb will be on various others.
I have a couple of questions;
1. My plan is to detach all databases and backup the .ldf and .ndf files (logs are not as important after this point). Then backup master and msdb databases. Once the new server is built (specifying the new file locations at install), I will restore master and msdb and finally reattach the databases from their new locations. Does this sound reasonable?
2. At the point of server install, I intend to specifiy the default locations for data and log files. When I come to reattach the data files I want SQL Server to create a new log, but place it in the new default location. Will it do this automatically?
Thanks in advance for your help

Issues on Changing Name of our SQL Server Host
Michael G (m1g@hotmail.com)
We are going to rename the Server machine Host Name that our SQL2000
(named instance) Server now resides on.
* I am searching for all references in Operating System items, such as .cmd, .bat. ftp files referring to it (eg., sqlservNM)
* I am searching for all references in Operating System items, such
as ODBC, VB ADO, DOA and DSN-less connections that refer to it.
These references will be changed manually on the day of the change.
I am NOT so certain that I need to search for all SQL Server Objects referring to it, (eg., DTS packages and scheduled Jobs). Must these
objects be changed manually or will they be redirected somehow?
Anyone with any experience on this?
Thanks,
Michael

SQL 2k w2k server sp2
When I first installed the SQL server on my server, the default date
format was mm/dd/yy. Now I need to change that to dd/mm/yy in
regional settings, but its still not reflected in the DB's in SQL (its
still mm/dd/yy).
Is it possible to change it in SQL without a complete reinstallation
of the server?

Hello,
When I installed MS SQL Server 2000 on our client's computer I installed it under a local account using Windows Authentication as the server logon and am now accessing it using a network login (remoting into the same box). The result is that if I change the password for the local Windows account and reboot the server, SQL server cannot be restarted; I get an error:
A connection could not be established to (LOCAL)
Reason: SQL SERVER does not exist or access denied.
ConnectionOpen (Connect())..
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties and try again.
I've changed the registration properties to use SQL Server Authenticaiton instead of Windows to no avail. Whichever connection option I use the server will not start unless I change the local account's password back to what it was when I installed. This works, but our client wants to have that local account's password changed for security/peace of mind. Any help or advice would be appreciated here :)
Thank you

Hi,
I have a DB which has its collation set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and i need to change it to Latin1_General_CI_AS,
does anyone have any idea how to do this?
i have tried right clicking on the DB and changing its collation in the options tab, but this only changes what the default is, so all the old columns still have the old collatin,
does anyone know how to change this?

Hello ppl
We have a Windows server that has 64-bit SQL installed on it. It is placed in 'abc' domain right now.
Now I have to get that changed to 'xyz' domain. I know that Windows people can take care of this, but my question is do we have to worry about the SQL Server that's already installed on that server? Will it have any affect on that?
Thanks

I have a SQL 2000 (SP3) running on a Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) box used in our test environment. The SQL Server was configured to run under the local system account before I got here. In an effort to standardize things, I tried changing the SQL Service account to run under a designated domain user account purpose built for the job. We use this particular account for all of our new-build servers (which are W2K). This domain account is configured to be a "Power User" on the NT 4.0 Server in question.
Soon after changing things over to run under the new account, all the developers complained that they could no longer connect to the server. I could through QA and EM, but none of the developers could.
The developers are using WebLogic and JDBC drivers for the most part. I wasn't aware that the SQL Server service account affected client connectivity. Was I wrong or is there something else at work here?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have to generate a daily report of survey answers by users? My question is there a way to reformat the query so it generates a table or report with it showing the rows as columns instead.
Here is my initial query.
SELECT
dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated AS DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.questionid AS QuestionID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid AS SurveyID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid AS UserID
,dbo.Reporting_User.LastName1 AS LastName
,dbo.Reporting_User.FirstName AS FirstName
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionAnswer AS QuestionAnswer
FROM
dbo.Reporting_Surveys
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions
ON dbo.Reporting_Surveys.surveyid = dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.surveyid
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionID = dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionID
INNER JOIN dbo.uvwReporting_User
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid = dbo.uvReporting_User.userid
WHERE
dbo.uvReporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid = 1125
Order by dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber
Select
dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
, dbo dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
To complicate matters, some of the users did not answer some of the questions and some of the questions are duplicated in the rows because the database assigned them one answer each.
Example. Question 18 says "Name all the industries you have worked in. Check all that apply.
What happens is lets say the user checks 4 different boxes. In the query results, it will show 4 rows with question 18 with each answer they checked off.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all,
I have created a simple package that imports data from a flat file into a database. To run the package I'm using a SQL Server Agent Job. The location of the file is stored as a connection string in the Connection Managers tab in the SQL Server Agent Job.
Is there a way to change this connection string programmatically? If not programmatically, is there a way to change this setting right before I execute the package. I want to change the location of this file based on user input. Also, I'm executing the package using the sp_start_job stored procedure to run the job.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
