First of all let me explain that I am a complete newbie to this SQL stuff. I am in the process of reading a book, and followed the books suggestions for what I want to do, but it doesn't work. I know this has been covered several times in this forum, but no one post in particular covered exactly what I want to do.
I want to copy the database from the server to my local machine.
First, do I need to have SQL running on my machine in order to copy the database? I do have Enterprise Manager running, does that mean SQL Server is running locally?
Secoond, I tried using the Copy Wizard, but when I get to the target list, my local machine is not listed. How do I get it listed so I can copy the database?
I hope my questions are not too stupid... but then I'd be stupid if I didn't ask questions.
I was trying to load SSIS shipped from my colleague. It has configuration file with his SSIS. I added this one to my local project. I removed configuration file from my project. In case anything goes wrong, I also delete OLE DB Connection String, and recreated one. Modified all data flow and control flow for any connection to point to my new one.
After the modification, it still fails on login 'sa'. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there any tricky inside of SSIS configuration file?
How to load files with similar format , from two different locations into same database with same ssis.
Lets say Location 1: C:LoadFilesCust1APP_123445.txt Location 2: D:LoadFilescust2VDD_543121.txt
Currently we have one ssis which loads and process files from C:LoadFilesCust1 only. we have to modify the existing package it to load files from Location 2 (D:LoadFilescust2) as well. Also while loading, the ssis should assign a value to existing column CustID depending upon the file name. File names always start with APP_ in first location. VDD_ in second location
Assign CUSTID as 100 if file name starts with APP_ Assign CUSTID as 200if file name starts with VDD_
We have a scenario to process last created/modified files from a location using SSIS package , eventhough the folder contains multiple files with same name and extension.
Kindly give respond to this if any one has worked on this.
Hi All;We are going to change our application server. We will copy all of ourDatabase from Mic 2000 Server OS to Mic 2003 Server OS. I found anarticle that how to move all the folders from same OS. My question isthat Would the 2003 OS be a problem when we copy all of the MC SQL 2000folders to New OS ? Has anybody done this before? Could you gimme yoursuggestions please?ThanksASA
When deploying a project from within a SSIS project in Visual Studio 2012 to SQL Server 2012 Integration services server I get the follwoing error message:
Failed to deploy project. For more information, query the operation_messages view for the operation identifier '10'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 27203)
For the given operation id there is no entry in view catalog.operation_messages.
One of the step in sql agent job is to execute the SSIS package to copy files from remote shared location to local server where sql server is installed. The account on which SQL agent runs as has access to remote shared location. However SSIS package always fails with following error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\sharedlocationBCKTST105092008.csv' is denied.".
We have tried using proxies but same issue come with proxy also. When using proxy, we created a proxy for a user who has access on that shared folder on Windows server(from which files are to be copied). If we login to SSIS server with the above user and execute SSIS package manually it works fine. However if we login with different user and run the job via SQL agent using proxy of the above user, then job fails throwing same above mentioned error
I've been working with SQL Server for a few years now and I've had quite a few cases where users cannot backup SQL to a network location or external hard drive. Why can SQL not do this? Is it some limitation of the speeds at which SQL needs to backup the information and the external hard drives/network drives do not meet the requirements?
Sorry to break the threay i started earlier but once again I need this to work and I have spent al day on it with no luck.
SCOPE: I need to copy my database from my sql server 7 platform to another office on another server that also has sql 7. DTS will not work for me due to network traffic and so forth I would get messages saying that it failed. i tried it off/ peak time but still the same. Now in the days of 6.5 I would be able to creat a new db device for LOAD then I would copy the dump over there and run LOAD database blab blah .. No brainer.
I have tried the following ideas some of you have mentioned such as back up the db (I would zip it copy it over there ) unzip it and tried to RESTORE it but I get the following: "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'mydb' database. Backup or restore operation terminiating abnormally."
I would also try restoring from FILE and I would get the similar message. Sp_attach and detach no good either.
What am I missing. i would create a new 'mydb' then try the restore all of the above is all I get...
Help! I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE] field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other 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() b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate b.BusinessId = Row.busid b.BusinessName = Row.busname b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr b.OwnerName = Row.ownername b.Phone = Row.phone b.Pkey = Row.pkey b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate b.StartDate = Row.startdate b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE
Both machine is xp with sp2. and standard SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this: 1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found; 2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

Basically - this doesn't work as an error is returned:-
Code:
The object name 'GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
Now - it has no problem running a SELECT (ie read-only) query from the remote DB but why does it have a problem with writing? And if thats the issue, why doesn't it say so. Am I going about this the right way???
Hi I have an sqlserver setup locally to chew thru pricefiles from our suppliers. The pricefiles comes in various formats mostly txt-files and are inserted via bulk-inserts and separeted by GO-statements, in the end I end up with a table containing unique partnumbers, the average price for the part, and number in stock. What i would like is to have a transact- statement in the end of all thoose sql-statements that copies the final table to a remote sqlserver that contains the DB used on my website. How do i connect to a remote server thru a sql-statement? is it possible? If i just get the connection part explained, i can figure out the rest by myself. Thanks /Jonas
See above. At first I thought it was a problem with SQL server, since I have just installed a new certificate. Now I am not so sure. Any suggestions???? Thanks, kreid
I have SQL Server Express 2005. I have it configured for remote connections, but I cannot even see my local dbase. I have the server setup for windows authentication. In VB 2005 database connection wizard I see the db server but on the database itself.
When I click test connection....without a dbase choosen it says ( i don't have any to choose from).
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connection 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"
This doesn't make sense because i have changed the the surface area configuration to allow remote connections on both TCP/IP and Named pipes. It shouldn't matter though because this is a local database.
I am getting the "Error Locating Server/Instance Specified" message. The part I find most confusing is that I am connecting to my database locally. I have read the recommendations on the blog posted here:
and implemented them to no avail. The confusing part is that I only have this problem on one particular application, which I am not the original author of. When I build my connection to the very same server (different database) using the Data Source configuration wizard, it works just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know where a good article pertaining to where you should locate your Data and Log files (in SQL Server 2005)? I read an article several years ago stating that Log files should be on a seperate RAID 1 and Data on a seperate RAID 5. Anyway, any help is appreciated.
Hi SQL folks, I've googled for this the whole yesterday and I couldn't find a complete solution. I'm having a sql2005 database in my development machine and I need to copy all the content "Tables, Diagrams, PK columns and other data" to the remote production machine. Using the Import/Export method didn't copied the relationships between tables, also it turned the PKs into just a standard columns Can anyone help?
I have had a new PC and have installed SQL Server. However, I do not seem to have anywhere to create databases on my PC. I did on my old one. How can i do this ?
Sql server type: database engine server name: authentication: sql server authentication login: sa password: xxxxx
I remember the server name being sqlexpress (I think that was the default name during the install).
OR are they asking for my computer name? because I tried that also and it gave me an error saying "the default installation doesn't allow remote connections"
Hi, i wondered if anyone could help me with my stored procedure. It updates a table with users messageboard and saves the Title, Line 1, Line 2 and so on into a XML thats stored in the column named XML_Data.
How can i then output this xml to a file on my local machine?
T-SQL :-
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[prUpdateMessageBoardVetted]

When I try to connect I get the error message TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm tearing my hair out over the basics when I should be spending time learning ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I've searched the archives and a lot of people seem to be getting the same error as me, but when trying to connect from remote machines.
I'm getting what seems to be a standard message ...

I'm not trying to connect remotely, I'm on my developer machine. The error comes up when trying to connect from within VS2005 (Tools, Connect to Database). It also comes up if I create a new web-site and go to the ASP.NET configuration tool (this is, I guess, trying to create the necessary database behind the scenes but is unable to connect to the database).
I suspect the error might be related to one or more of the following ...
September last year I installed VS2005 Express and SQL*SERVER Express. Both were fully un-installed when I bought VS2005 Professional before installing the new product. When I set up SQL*SERVER 2005 Developer I remember choosing an option to have a separate user on my PC with administrative rights. Actually I don't recall much about what I chose but I can't find out where those permissions are managed from. I've followed various instructions to check that remote access is enabled (despite the fact that I'm local, not remote). TCP and Named Pipes are both enabled (and I stopped then restarted SQL Server). I've checked that the service is started. The odd thing is that I have had an application connect with the following string ...
SSLCon = new SqlConnection(@"Server=(local)SSLMJ;Integrated Security = True;" + "Database=SSLTESTRESULTS");
Though the application connection seems to work ok, I think I'm missing out lots of developer functionality because I can't get VS2005 to see the database or server.
This may be a stupid newbie question, but being that I'm not a DBA I'm going to ask it anyway.
We discovered a problem with a clients server (Windows 2003 SBS) when we tried to install Veritas Backup Exec. Backup Exec requires an instance of either SQLMSDE or full SQL. This server has full SQL 2000 sp3a installed on it with a working account application. When backup exec trys to create it's instance it fails.
Investigating further...when I go into Enterprise Manager (logged in as Domain Admin) I get an error when I select the local server.
I.E. "A connection could not be established to (LOCAL). Reason: Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties. blah blah blah.
Okay the server is running. The accounting application (client/server) is still working. I right click on the server and select "New Server Registration" for the field "server" I click the browse button and the "Active Servers" box is empty..:shocked:
I went to check the "Data Sources" under drivers, that field is blank. (no drivers installed). I downloaded MS's component checker and it says "MDAC 2.8 on Windows server 2003 sp1" is installed.
At this point I have exhausted my knowledge of MS-SQL server. My goal is to get BackupExec installed and NOT break the existing accounting application.

how to deploy web services on local machine. I created self certificate in IIS and then build the solution in the visual studio. After I build the solution, I found that automatically it created the virtual directories for the web services under the default website in the IIS Manager. When I click and select the browse it is not working.
