Hello Everyone, I am trying to install SQL 2005 on my machine. All I want is the functionality that I enjoyed with SQL 2000- Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager. For some reason, the version of SQL 2005 that I am installing is only giving me an option for the Configuration Manger which does not provide access to the Management Console. It is my understanding that I need the Management Console to create databases, look at tables in my databases, etc., etc. just like I did in Enterprise Manager. Is there anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Currently, the cd that I have says SQL Developer Edition. Thanks.

Hi
I have a PC running the 64 bit version of vista home premium (will be soon upgrading to ultimate).
On the download page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/express/bb410792.aspx for SQL Server Express under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 it mentions at the bottom of the page (referred by * & **) that there is a 64 bit install version available for both SQL Server & management Studio.
However, under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2, there is no * or **. As far as I can tell, the Advanced services has Reporting Services as well.
So, what I am wondering is, can I specifically download the 64 bit versions of SQL server express & management studio and as well, download just the reporting services part of Advanced Services?
Kind regards
Ross

Hi there,
I'm trying to install the common components for SQL 2005 on a server that already has Reporting Services 2005 installed on it. It keeps comng up with an error:
"To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter."
The Reporting Services install has had SP2 applied to it, would that be what is messing up the install?
I have very little experience with SQL so any info would be helpful.
Thanks!
Hi,
View 81 Replies View RelatedI have been working with SQLServer since 1996, and now our company is being forced to consider a switch to Oracle. Does anyone know of a good Oracle/SQL Server comparison or an Oracle discussion board where I can find out the Oracle half of the equation to make a case for switching or not?
Thanks.
Hi all of you,
Primary platform is Framework 2.0 running over XP.
I've got an issue with a SSIS package which uses Oracle Provider for OleDB:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' is not registered on local machine
Nevertheless, MS Ole DB Provider for Oracle works fine. Let me know where am I failing.
Thanks in advance,
We downloaded and installed the trial software of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition a month ago. We have purchased a fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and would like to apply the licensed version to our workstation clients since their SQL software will eventually expire. Our SQL Server is not an issue since we purchased a new Server and installed the new licensed version of SQL on it.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this or is an uninstall & reinstall of SQL on every workstation required?
Thanks,

I have created a DTS package that pulls data in from Oracle into SQLServer. When I run it directly on the server (from EnterpriseManager), it works fine. When I run it from Enterprise Manager on aclient machine that does not have the Oracle client software, it doesnot run, giving me the error: "The Oracle client and networkingcomponents were not found...". I was hoping I wouldn't need to havethe client software installed on a machine other than the server whereSql Server is running. The problem here is that there are a number ofmachines from where I would like to execute this DTS package that I donot want to install/configure the Oracle client software. I don'tquite understand why the configuration of the client is importanthere. In my mind, when I am using enterprise manager from a clientmachine, I am using it sort of like a terminal services client toconnect to the server. I guess there is a lot more happening in thebackground.Thanks for any feedback,Marcus

I am trying to establish a connection to an Oracle database using the following code in a script task:
Dim oOleDbConnection As OleDbConnection
Dim sConnString As String = _
"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=DBxxx;" & _
"User ID=Userxxx;" & _
"Password=Passxxx"
oOleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConnString)
oOleDbConnection.Open()
When I execute the script task, I receive the following error:
The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Am using the correct provider?
I do not know how to resolve the said error.
Here are some facts:
Oracle 8i is installed.
Tnsnames.ora is updated.
I have successfully connected to Oracle SQL *Plus to test the above credentials.
Please help.
Thanks.
I am in the process of trying to create a mirror image of our Oracle database in SQL Server. I have all of the code that was used to create Stored Procedures on the Oracle side. I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what the corresponding syntax to create these procedures in SQL Server would be. Has anybody been able to locate any sources of information that would help me or had any experience with this problem? I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Specifically I am looking for help on the following items:
Oracle Sql Server
RETURN NUMBER ?
IS ?
BEGIN ?
SELECT FROM DUAL ?
EXCEPTION HANDLING ?
Here's some of what I have so far:
Oracle SQL Server
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CREATE PROC AS

Hi Guys, I have this statement that I am converting from Oracle to SQL. Help pls:-) PP_PRICEPOINT_ID is a decimal. What is the appropriate usage..
Oracle
-------------
update pricepoint set pp_type = decode(substr(pp_pricepoint_id,1,1),7,0,2),
pp_qtybreakindex =substr(pp_pricepoint_id,3,1) where pp_type is null and pp_qtybreakIndex is null;
Here is its SQL
-----------------
UPDATE pricepoint
SETpp_type =
CASE SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 1, 1)
WHEN 7 THEN 0
ELSE 2
END,
pp_qtybreakindex = SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 3, 1)
WHERE pp_type is null
ANDpp_qtybreakIndex is null
----------------
I am getting the error
The data type decimal is invalid for the substring function. Allowed types are: char/varchar, nchar/nvarchar, and binary/varbinary.
Something went a bit wrong. Converted Oracle 10g to Sql Server 2000.
Now, in the schema there is a column that allows nulls.
In Oracle if you look at the column, you see NULL.
However if I look at the same created in Sql Server it actually does not have a <NULL> value there.
When the conversion was done however, all of these NULLs from Oracle came across into Sql Server with the actual value of <NULL>.
This causes the problem that these objects are now no longer displayed within my application. They show up fine using Oracle, and if I use Sql Server from the start it is fine -- the column is just blank, not acutally NULL. I can force the <NULL> value by doing the ctrl+0 on the field, and that breaks it as well.
The column has to allow nulls, but the actual value cannot be <NULL> (in Sql Server). Any suggestions on getting rid of the NULL - I could do an update, but it actually just has to be blank rather than having a value. I tried an update to set it to ' ' but that didn't really work - here was my statement:
update [table] set [columnname] = '' where [columnname] = '<NULL>'
Any other suggestions besides try again? But if it has to be 'try the conversion again' then that's the answer.
Thanks much
Hi Friends,
Need ur help desperately. I am stuck with one of the queries which i had written in Oracle and need the same in SQL Server.Please have a look at the following query :
select * from r_tin_1099_info where instr(translate( nm_ctrl_cd , '~!@#$%^&*()_+}{":?><`-=]['''';/., ', '*******************************' ),'*') > 0;
Basically my purpose is to replace the values in column NM_CTRL_CD having wild card characters with '*' and then select this rows to display.
However i am not able to run the same query in SQL Server since TRANSLATE is not a built in func. I have tried a lot to replace it but could only one func : REPLACE . But the same will not replace any one of the above wild characters but will replace the entire pattern.Please note that it should be able replace even if one of the wild card characters are present in the string and not necessarily the entire pattern shown above.
please reply ASAP since i am working and need this query to fix a defect.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Gurus,
I need to convert this statement to sql server.
SELECT to_date('24-08-2007 13:11:12','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),to_date('24-aug-2007 13:11:12','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual
can anyone help please.
Hello Everyone,
First problem :
I have an application which uses Power Builder and Oracle and my job is to convert it so that it can run on a SQL server database.
Oracle allows empty strings - '' - to mean NULL. If the application inserts an empty string in a column of a table, Oracle takes it to mean NULL.
How can i have this functionality in SQL Server?
Second Problem:
SQL Server does not allow stored procedures like sp_addlogin and sp_droplogin etc., to be executed from within a transaction. So everytime i need to execute these stored procedures thru my application, i disconnect and set autocommit to true and connect again. after executing these stored procedures, i disconnect again , set autocommit to false and then connect again. is this how it should be done or is there some better way of doing it.
All help will be highly appreciated. I really need help on these problems - fast.
Thanks

machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am
stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing
into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns
data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize
it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and
serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense()

Hi to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.

I have two machines,
One is a standalone machine and the other is on a domain network. How can I run a stored procedure/job on the standalone machine from the domain machine ?
running the procedure as a Domain user results in a failed job/stored proc.
also creating an sql login and attempting to run it as that user also fails. How can I solve this problem ?
please e-mail me at wayde@sunnygrp.com if you have any thoughts...

Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

Hi all,
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much

Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?
