When i have multiple sql server instances running on one server, how to check the names of that instances with out connecting to sql server management studio.
View 12 RepliesHello,
Here is my setup:
2 node active/passive Microsoft cluster running SQL 2005 Enterprise Ed w/ SP2. The SQL setup is configured as a named instance, servernameinstancename. When I tried to install SCOM 2007, I'm getting this error, "Could not get SQL server instances names."
What could be the cause of this error? Any help would be appreciated!!
I have the following problem;
I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerNameSQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).
However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.
How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:S
We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.
I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.
The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSNSQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSNSQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.
Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide

I have a website running under Windows Server 2003 which I am trying to deploy Reportin Services to using a custom security extension using Forms authentication. There is also another website which is just a Report Server running on this IIS 6.
On my development machine, XP with IIS 5.1, the Website with Reporting Services using forms authentication works fine, shares cookies for authentication and all that jazz. but trying to configure a second instance of Reporting Services on Server 2003 is not behaving.
Is there some trickery or details involved with running two instances of Reporting Services?
Also in the Configure Report Server tool it is failing and so not initializing on the last step of the Database Setup

I'm looking at installing 2008R2 and 2014 side by side, then using Mirroring to provide HA for the 2008R2 instance and AoHA for the 2014 instance. I'd be using the same two physical servers for both the Mirroring pair and the AoHA pair.

I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.

I have a stored procedure that references another stored procedure on a linked server. I would like to check if the linked server is running prior to accessing the stored procedure. Everything I have tried returns either message 11 or 17 and terminates the stored procedure. I would like to do some cleanup before the termination. Is there any way to check this?

Hi,
I have my SQL server installed and running on a windows 2003 server. Sometimes, the server stops unexpectedly. I want to know if there is any mechanism to alert as and when the SQL server or SQL server agent goes down.
I guess everything is a windows service. Can we have a mechanism to test this service from a script and send an alert mail when the server goes down? How can this be done from a script?
Thanks in advance

Hello friends I want to ask that by which command I can know about how many process are currently running on the server ?

I have a strange situation when I try to execute the same Stored Procedure on servers with different processors. Both servers are running the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 version with all updates.
All updates bios, disk controller, firmware, were applied on the new server.
New Server: (considerable difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 02:16hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 08:00hs
Â
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.60GHz E5-2697 v3
Â
Old Server: (There Are No difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
Â
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.7GHz E5-2697 V2
In terms of configuration, the server 2, have lower technology, lower bus, lower number of processors.
I believe that combination of Hardware/SO/Sql Server has a potential performance loss when running encrypted SP.
We are currently looking at consolidating 10 servers into one cluster server.
Some servers may be busier than others. Is there any reason to split them up and give the busy databases specific CPUs or is it always better to have them on one instance?
A small question which may be stupid.
In Management Studio Express, one instance of Sql Express is running, with User Instances. This in indicated by a green circle with a white arrow head.
At the same time I'm connected to an instance of Sql Express on a Small Business Server. This server instance just has a white circle, but is also running. Is this normal.?

Hi all
We are planning to upgrade vom SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000 and SMS 1.2 to SMS 2.0. We want to first migrate SMS 1.2 to 2.0 with the SQL 6.5 database. Afterwards we want to install SQL 2000 as a second instance on the sql 6.5 server and migrate from there our databases. Is this the best way to do this? Does anybody have experience with running two instances of different SQL-Versions on one server? and what kind of trouble can I expect to run into?
Any tips & tricks are welcome
Thanx

Hello,
I want to enumerate all the RUNNING SQL instances[in a mixed env where SQL 2000 and SQL2005 are deployed] using SQL DMO.
But any of the following methods would not help
ListAvailableSQLServers Method
ListInstalledInstances Method
because they list all the installed instances and while my intent is getting only the running instances.
Is there any other direct API ? Pls advise.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my application code I am trying to invoke multiple threads in which each thread is loading an instance of the same SSIS package and would initialize the package variables with different values and execute the different instances in parallel. In each thread - after the package execution has completed successfully - I read that instance's SSIS package variables to get result information from that Instance run.
When I load the same package in different thread using LoadFromSqlServer() method
- does the code create multiple instances of the SSIS package and load the distinct instances in each of the thread
- Will the Package Execution ID be different for the different instances?
- Are the package level variables instance safe?
I am running multiple instance of the same application. This application is connecting to the database and running stored procedures using ADODB (all code examples are taken from msado15).
The problem is that somehow these two applications are sharing something either with the connection or commands.
For instance if the two instances are in the following function at the same time then they both thow an SEH exception:
Code Snippet
inline _RecordsetPtr Command15::Execute ( VARIANT * RecordsAffected, VARIANT * Parameters, long Options ) {
struct _Recordset * _result = 0;
HRESULT _hr = raw_Execute(RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options, &_result);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
return _RecordsetPtr(_result, false);
}
The exception that occurs is: "First-chance exception ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000068."
And afterwords when they go to release the command an error occurs on
First-chance exception at 0x4de4120c in IpsEngine.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Code Snippet
inline void _bstr_t::Data_t::_Free() throw()
{
if (m_wstr != NULL) {
::SysFreeString(m_wstr);
}
if (m_str != NULL) {
delete [] m_str;
}
}
This is being called from.
Code Snippet
inline void Command15::PutRefActiveConnection ( struct _Connection * ppvObject ) {
HRESULT _hr = putref_ActiveConnection(ppvObject);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
}
The exception that occurs: First-chance exception at ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Similarly when one instance releases a command using
Code Snippet
inline void Command15::PutRefActiveConnection ( struct _Connection * ppvObject ) {
HRESULT _hr = putref_ActiveConnection(ppvObject);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
}
The second instance of the application fails when running the command at the exact same time.
Code Snippet
inline _RecordsetPtr Command15::Execute ( VARIANT * RecordsAffected, VARIANT * Parameters, long Options ) {
struct _Recordset * _result = 0;
HRESULT _hr = raw_Execute(RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options, &_result);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
return _RecordsetPtr(_result, false);
}
The command and connections are not static and there should be completely seperate instances of these for each instance of the application. Does anybody know why this may be happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am running a mirrored database using SQL2005 and whether or not mirroring has anything to do with this has not been determined. Often when a failover is necessary we are in a state where the active server responds just enough to show existence but not enough to determine database state. The SQL Management Studio can not connect to the server and the exception report from our application has the following message:
<exception type="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException">
<message>A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)</message>
<source>.Net SqlClient Data Provider</source>
<target>System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool::GetConnection</target>
<stack>
<trace index="0">at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection owningObject)</trace>
<trace index="1">at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection)</trace>
<trace index="2">at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory)</trace>
<trace index="3">at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()</trace>
<... application stack/>
</stack>
</exception>
When this happens, the the SqlClient does not fail over to the mirror until we stop the service on the failed SQL server. Sometimes, the mirror server doesn't full pick up until we stop the service on the failed server.
Today, out of curiosity I attemped to connect to port 1433 using TelNet to see if the server was even listening at the standard endpoint anymore (before I received the Exception Report above). It was. So how do I determine what is happening that causes the connections to close, and if at all possible - prevent it?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

Hi
I am really struggling with this problem.
I am connecting to several SQL 2000 servers on another LAN from my workstation and I have to go through a firewall.
I got the firewall people to open port 1433 and was then able to connect any server with a default instance using Query Anlyzer and the IP address of the Server.
When I try to connect from my workstation to a server with a named instance I am being blocked by the firewall before it gets to the server.
I went into Client Network Utility on my workstation and removed named pipes which only left Tcpip using port 1433.
Fire wall is now blocking “nbname UDP 137”.
Is there a setting somewhere on my workstation that I can force the traffic to the named instance to use Tcpip through port 1433.
Any Help would be great.
As part of my backup routine, I have a SQL job for each DB which which is called "DB-NAME - Backup Job"
I need to put a script together to check that each database has a backup job associated to it.
select * From sys.sysdatabases where name not in ('msdb','model', 'master', 'Tempdb', 'DBA') order by name desc
select * from msdb.dbo.sysjobs order by name desc
I know all the details i need are in there, but i cant figure out the best way to tackle it. Do I need to do a cursor to go through each DB name, put it into a variable, then select the job name where name like '$variable%' ?
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

I have a server that has several DBs .. some are log shipping(ls_) and others are not. The current TRAN backup script just does a:
select name from sys.databases
where name !=Â 'ls_xxxx'
and name != 'ls_yyyyy'
Is there a way to check a status byte or something so I can remove the hard coded names?
select name from sys.sysdatabase
where status  = 'I log ship' -- ;)
I checked several places, but found nothing. Finding other status like RECOVERING et al ... is easy
Recently one of our DB went to suspect mode, we have resolved it(repair_allow_dataloss) and DB came online but when we fire CheckDB on that it is throwing following error
