Database Backup Directory Is Invalid

Apr 27, 2004

Hi,

I'm using Database Maintenance Plans in Enterprise Manager and I'm trying to backup a database to a different server using a UNC (i.e. \servernameackupdirectory).
I have done this successfully with two SQL Servers but every time I try to set the third SQL Server to backup to a UNC I get this message:

The complete database backup directory '\servernameackupdirectory' is invalid.

The only differences that I can think of is that the server is Win2000 Advanced Server and the SQL Server is Enterprise Edn, where as the two that work are Standard Edn and are on Win2000 Servers (not Advanced).

Does anyone know why I am unable to do this on one SQL Server when I have had no trouble on the other two SQL Servers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Troy

Management Studio - The Directory Name Is Invalid

Mar 3, 2008

In SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I get an error pop up that reads "The directory name is invalid."

This error occured after I installed SQL Server 2005 and added my first database. It went away when I applied all the service packs. It is now occuring again. Would this happen if the temporary files on the computer are cleaned? If so, how do I recover from this. The temp files no longer exist...

This error occurs when I right click on a table and click Open table.

I can click design and that works. But open and edit does not work.

Note: I can open, edit, etc in Visual Studio.

When I click edit I get a more detail message that reads:

===================================

The directory name is invalid.

SQLDescribeParam With Subselect: Invalid Parameter Number/Invalid Descriptor Index

Apr 21, 2008

Hello,

I've got the following query:

SELECT zA."ID" AS fA_A
, zA."TEXT" AS fA_B
, (
SELECT COUNT(zC."ID")
FROM Test."Booking" AS zC
) AS fA_E
FROM Test."Stack" AS zA
WHERE zA."ID" = ?

With this query I call:
- SQLPrepare -> SQL_SUCCESS=0
- SQLNumParams -> SQL_SUCCESS=0, pcpar = 1
- SQLDescribeParam( 1 ) -> SQL_ERROR=-1, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number", "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index"

Is there a problem with this calling sequence or this query? Or is this a problem of SQL Server?

Regards
Markus

APP_DATA Directory

Jun 23, 2006

If I already have SQL2005 installed, can I create SQL express databases for distribution in my app, or do I need to install SQLExpress to run side-by-side?
I actually had SQLExpress originally but upsized it to the full version.  Now I want to be able to create portable DBs with my application.
And if this is possible, how do I go about creating the DB?
Thanks!

Scan Directory

Nov 1, 2007

Hey guys,

I have a procedure that runs everyday which takes the IIS log file from the previous day and imports it and calcs values. I would like to change this from taking the previous day to scanning all the file names in the folder and comparing them to a database to see if they have already been scanned before. I already have a table called DatesScanned which lists the filename and scandate.

IE:

D:Logsfile1.log
D:Logsfile2.log
D:Logsfile3.log
D:Logsfile4.log

The 4 file names will be scanned and compared to DatesScanned to see which has been imported already.

Can anyone point me to a resource or information on how I would get the directory listing of a folder so I could compare it to the DatesScanned table.

Thanks a bunch!

Jeff

Virtual Directory

Feb 5, 2008

Hi Guys,
Windows XP, IIS 5.1

I have written an installer that creates an MS SQL Database, creates the
necessary data tables and then imports the data into the data tables. All
this works fine.
I now need to copy the web pages to a directory on the users machine and
then make the chosen directory a virtual directory so the user can call the
pages in the usual way (http://localhost/mytestsite/index.html)

Would anyone know how to create a virtual directory using dos command line parameters. I have seen something using "IIsVdir.vbs" but I do not have this script file.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Best Regards,

Steve.

Reading A Directory

Feb 28, 2007

I do a lot of file processing and I usually run a little script I copyand paste to read directory information to see if a new file it thereand then process the file if it is. So, I decided to wise up and makea stored procedure to automate a lot of that.The pivotal step in this is that i run a command that looks like:CREATE TABLE #DIR (FileName varchar(100))DECLARE @Cmd varchar(1050)SET@Cmd = 'DIR "' + @Path + CASE WHEN RIGHT(@Path, 1) = '' THEN ''ELSE '' END + @WildCard + '"'INSERT INTO #DIREXEC master..xp_CmdShell @CmdWhen I run the stored procedure I get back the files and folders inthere that match the wildcard and all is good!!!!....Until I try to put that information into a table while calling thatstored procedure:CREATE TABLE #Files (Path varchar(100),FileName varchar(100),PathAndFileName varchar(150),FileDateTime SmallDateTime,FileLength int,FileType Varchar(10))INSERT INTO #FilesEXEC sp_GetFileNames @Path = '\isoft2ftpLegacyBilling', @Wildcard= '*.txt'When I run this I get:Server: Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_GetFileNames, Line53An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.Because I use an INSERT EXEC to with the results from the @Cmd.Anybody have any ideas how I can get that information into a table?I did try to just copy the data to c: empdir.txt and then bulkimport it in. But when it runs the @Cmd to create the file it comesback with a NULL value and my stored procedure returns two sets ofvalues... which I can't do.So, I would appreciate anybody who can help.Thanks!-utah

Get Directory Permissions Using VB.Net

May 22, 2008



Hi,

I have developed a SSIS package .The main objective of this package is generating the output file in a configured location after applying all the business logic.
I am executing this package from SQL Server agent job. The job would fail if the login Id (current SQL login in which Sql job is executing) does not have permissions in the specified folder.

So Please let me know If I can check whether the login user have enough permissions on the configured folder.(We all know we can use scrpt task in SSIS , in which we can write VB.Net code as well , It would fine if any one can provide VB.Net code for this scenario).


Thanks ,

AttachDbName Relative Directory

SQL Server And Active Directory

Jun 6, 2004

Hello,

I have recently upgraded my the server that runs SQL Server to an Active Directory Domain Controler. Now I can't connect to the SQL Server from ASP.NET Applications when the application is not located on the local machine. The error message I get is SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
I have no problems connecting with QueryAnalyer and Enterprise Manager from my workstation. I have added the Sql Server to the directory via the "Active Directory"-tab in the Property window for my Sql Server Registration i Enterprise Manager.
If I copy a directory from the wwwroot on my workstation to the server the application has no problem to connect so the connectionstring seams to work fine.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Kalle

BCP By Mapping A Directory On The DB SERVER

Jul 18, 2000

I have a question regarding BCP. We are doing a BCP operation from one machine to another machine. (i.e) Flat file from the web server are BCP on to the DB server. For this operation we have mounted the FTP directory of the web server on to the DB server. Say G: drive of the DB server is mapped to the Ftp directory of the web server.

Now when we run the BCP we get the following error.

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 6
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 53
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (Create File()).

The connection is using NAMED PIPES.

Say when we BCP out the above error message comes but the flat file is generated with out any records in it.

Are we missing any parameter settings.

Please help.

Migrating To AD (Active Directory)

Sep 20, 2004

A little background, We have a DEV Server running SQL Server 2000. This is the first of many to be migrated from out NT Domain to our new AD (active directory Domain). All Domain user accounts have already been migrated.

When they migrated this first Server running SQL Server, I am getting the following error when I try to make the owner of a job (any job) run by the SQL Server Agent a domain account in the new AD - when I switch the ownership back to our old NT Domain, it works fine.

I am getting this error:
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (domainusername) of job testjob has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'domainusername'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).

note that this is happening to all windows authenticated sql server accounts on this Server. All of these account are in the local Admin group on the Server.

Does anyone know what needs to be done in SQL Server to make the AD migration seemless???? I need to try and find this out before we begin migrating Production Servers. Thank you!!

I would like to write the logon section myself and not use any built in functions that anything may have.

Please can someone advise. I don't think it is possible but have been asked to persue the issue.
