Can anyone please tell me the best way to upgrade server1 with SERVER7 and OS of NT to a new server2 with SERVER2000 AND WINDOWS 2000 ?
The data in the old server is very important.
Thanks
I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running
telnet sql5.hostinguk.net 1433 and
sqlcmd -S sql5.hostinguk.net -U username -P password
See below:

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
TCP 81.105.102.47:1138 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
TCP 81.105.102.47:1139 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
TCP 81.105.102.47:1140 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?
I have two calls to stored procedures that in an SSIS package fails silently. They are simply not executed in production but works fine in test, nothing happens and the sql server agent reports that everything has gone just fine.
In test they have 1 server with db A and B. No issue here.
In prod they have 2 servers with db A and B. On server 1 sql server agent executes a job that includes an SSIS package that on server 2 runs a couple of sp's. That user is db owner on server 2 db B and yet nothing happens. The sp's are not executed.
If I in prod run the job manually then it works, but not when run with the sql server agent account that as said is even db owner.
Ok, this is in reference to the previous post about replicated server with difference.
I have a Case statement that checks for NULL values and works on one server and not the other. For example:
Select Case LineItems.Item When 'BILL' then Activities.InvoiceState When Null Then Activities.InvoiceState Else States.State End As Sate.
The second server is not recognizing the NULL in this statement. Any ideas??
Thanks alot for any help.
i like to know how CTE works in sql server. i need to understand the flow of CTE. here i am pasting one example of CTE which i need to understand how works
DECLARE @StartTime DATETIME, @EndTime DATETIME
SELECT @StartTime = '09:00:00'
SELECT @EndTime = '17:30:00'
;WITH interval_cte(StartTime, EndTime) AS
[code]....
1) when CTE is declared then why fields name is used ;WITH interval_cte(StartTime, EndTime) AS ? what is the use of these field name.i do not understand how this line works
SELECT EndTime, DATEADD(mi, 30, EndTime) FROM interval_cte
WHERE EndTime < @EndTime
it has no alias define DATEADD(mi, 30, EndTime) ?how end time is increasing in loop ?which line increase end time value ?
I've been using databases for twenty years now and have just started using SQL Server 2000. I've used dbase III+, FoxPro and FileMaker Pro mostly and have a pretty good generally knowledge of databases. However, I'm constantly scratching my head over a few SQL Server foundational issues and would appreciate some help.
Probably the biggest question is this:
In FileMaker Pro (and FoxPro if I remember correctly), I would set the relationship once and then never have to think about it much again. Then I could create virtual tables and sub forms which contained data from several tables and view/update them with ease. However, in SQL Server I've noticed that while I can define the relationships in a database diagram, every query has to recreate the joines. If I try to use a view I can only update one table at a time which seesm whacky to me. So what on earth is the point of having relationships if you have to redefine them with each query? I've read that referrential integrity is the reason but that only baffles me further as I don't understand the point. Sure I get cascading deletes but there has to be more to the feature than that.
Also, when I want to insert data in multiple related tables I'm used to utilizing the existing relationship, mentioning the primary key once and then simply filling in the data. It seems in SQL Server that I have to also insert on the foreign key. This doesn't make sense as the database should know which record I'm talking about in the foreign key table(s) as they're related. Again though, I'm not only recreating the relationship in the insert but I'm also having to specify the foreign key. I guess it just makes me wonder why it's not simply checking the relationships which already exist.
So I'm a bit baffled and any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
So, I have a Pivot component working just fine on our Dev server. You can put a datareader before and after it, and as expected, 2092 rows go in, 1890 rows come out, and they're pivoted just fine.
I deploy the package to our Live box, and it doesn't pivot the incoming dataset at all. The rows are just being passed straight through - it's as if the Pivot component is doing nothing. Put a datareader on, you can see 2092 in, 2092 out.
I know it's not the data - I reconfigured the connection manager to point to the dev dB, so it's using exactly the same source data set, and it still passes the rows straight through.
But here's the really wierd bit. If I modify the data source to just select 2 rows from the data source (which I know need pivoting on the pivot key), the component pivots them just fine. So I can see that technically, the component has been built correctly. It does what it is meant to do if I send through 2 rows, 4 rows, 8 rows. But when I send through 2092, it just passes them straight through.

I a bit confuse of the order of rendering a report in reporting server . the software that i used previously do in following order
1. document header -- exec once at start of report
2. page header -- exec every new page
3. group header
4. body
5. group footer
6. page footer
7. document footer
in this software there no retriction that certain function can only be used at certain partand also there function to exec new page at any time I want. also each part has event for me to do programming . another different with reporting services is that once i set the paper type (ex. A1 or A3) ,unlike reporting service on design screen I get restrict on that size.
I hope someone can explain how actually reporting server render a page.

Hi All,
I have a web serivce written in C++ and I'm trying to connect to a database. I'm using the same connection string that works from an aspx page written in C#. but when I copy it over to the C++ environment, I get:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Note the username shows up as null in the error... My C++ looks like:
using namespace System:ata:qlClient;
String^ cs2 = "server=192.168.1.47;database=MyDB;integrated security=true;uid=myuser;pwd=mypassword";
SqlConnection^ myConnection = gcnew SqlConnection(cs2);
myConnection->Open();
Again, this works in C#. Interestingly, a sniffer shows a difference in an NT Authentication Packet as it's sent from my development machine to the database across the network. For the C# call, the NT Authentication packet has a username of "myuser" - from the connection string. It then gets acknowledged from the database. For the C++ call though, the username is sent as "ASPNET" - seemingly ignoring the username in the connection string. It's also rejected by the database in the next packet with the message above.
Any idea what's up with this? -- Curt
I just installed sql server 2005 and trying to pick it up before I start a new job as a developer using sql server 2005. The problem is that I have three instances installed, the one that works was installed prior to installing sql server 2005 when I installed System Architect a CASE tool which utilizes sql server for its encyclopedias.
My initial installed I used the default settings with the default instance and that does not work. I later ran set up again and installed another instance and that does not work. For some apparent reason the POKIN10SQL instance is over riding everything rendering every other instance non-functional.
When I try to connect to the one of the other instances, the error message is
"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 does not allow remote connections. (Provider Network Interface, error: 26 - Error locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)"
I don't think the remote connection is the problem as I went into the properties settings and checked the connection settings and allow remote connections is checked.
In terms of locating the instance, I installed SQL Server as specified in the handbook ... with the default instance and then a named instance.
Something seems to be wrong with the POKIN10SQL instance which was installed with System Architect, I need System Architect so I need a work around rather then an uninstall.
Can someone help please?

I have an application I developled for a shopping cart function using Wrox ASP.NET book as a guide. I have everything working great on my local system using SQL 2005 Express. When I move the app to an IIS 6.0 Web Server with SQL 2005 Express installed I get the following error.

It has some comments up top about not being able to establish a connection to the SQL Express Database. I have made the changes to allow TCP/IP and Named-Pipes
The App has to be connecting to the database because it displays grid views during the order process.
The Database is located in the App Data folder
IIS is set to Integrated Authentication and configured as a Web Application.
Can someone please tell me what is wrong.
thanks.....

Hello,
i've developed a website using VB.NET, and SQL SERVER 2K, in my dev environment works properly (SQL Server and WEB SERVER are in the same machine).
When i put everything in the target machine, where the webserver is but not the sql, i get the following error:
Sql SErver does not exist or access denied
I've tried so many ways to do this, ODBC, ADO.NET, OLEDB.....and everything ends in the same error.
Also if i try to connect with ODBC (from odbc manager) it seems to work (test connection succesfull), but in asp.net nothing works.
I've tried to access the server with:
INSTANCE_NAME
SERVER_NAMEINSTANCE_NAME
IP,PORT
I think (they are checking this), that the auth mode is set to MIXED MODE.
Any idea to save my life?? ;)
Thanks ppl
We have a curious situation on a SQL 2014 DB, with Trustworthy set to OFF. There is a job that runs a data export to a file via a CLR. The assembly as PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS, however there is no Asymmetric key for the assembly. Therefore what I trying to work out is why this is NOT failing. Some further information on this specific database that may or may not be relevant is:
1. It was upgraded a few weeks ago (Backup/Restore) from a SQL 2012 - SQL 2014 server
2. It as a Compatibility Level = 110 (2012)
3. The Previous 2012 database DID have Trustworthy ON
4. The CLR are actually being run against a snapshot of the database (Actually I think this one is a red herring. The SP is getting data from a table in the snapshot, but the CLR used it the one from the main DB)
I have created a linked server (to an AS/400) via MSDASQL. It works fine when I execute queries locally (i.e. from Management Studio running on the SQL 2005 server).
However, when I execute a query from a remote machine I get an error (see below for the exact message).
I know the ODBC connection is between the SQL server and the AS/400, and that the remote client does not have connectivity to the AS/400. But shouldn't the SQL server be able to pass the query through to the linked server even if the query is initiated from a remote machine?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this problem so that queries against the linked server can be executed from remote machines?
Errors:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY" returned message "[IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Key value in connection string too long.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY".
Environment: SQL 2005, Standard Edition SP2
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We have 2 databases ( Guider and Talker ) and we have a WCF service that is logged in with a domain identity.
In our SQL Server we have the service ID added to the Data Server Logins and both Guider and Talker are given access to the user.
When we access Guider we have no problems getting data.
When we access Talker we have a login failure:
Cannot open database 'Talker' requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'AcornCommunicationServices'.
The thing that gets me is that the user is created at the Server level, in both Databases, and at the server level both databases are checked for the user. master has been set as the default database for the user.
Basically, as far as I can see Talker and Guider are configured identically! So I cannot figure out why I cannot login to the second database!
Is there a specific setting I'm missing somewhere to grant login access to the user? I'm using
Management Studio Express to manage the database.
I have a problem running an SSIS package in a SQL Server job. The package runs fine if I run it from the MSDB location, but if I try to run the job it fails. The job is set to Run as: SQL Agent Service Account. The SQL Service Agent service runs as a domain user SQLExec. I have logged in as this user and run the SSIS package and it runs fine, but if I create a job with only this step it fails. There isn't much information about where there is a problem. Any ideas or ways to troubleshoot this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, john
I have an SSIS package is made up of SQL tasks and dataflows. The dataflows connect to an Oracle database using Native OLE DBOracle Provider for OLE DB (10g). This is the first package dealing with oracle that runs on the server.
I can execute the package manually by right clicking and going to 'Run Package' while logged in remotely from the server, but it gets hung up and does nothing if I run it as a job. I always have to quit the job. I can disable everything but the dataflows in the package and the job completes and runs fine.
Anyone have any ideas or similiar situations?
Thanks.
Most of my packages that I've created in BIDS will NOT run in SQL Server 2005. The simplest one that I have fails during a script task that calls external managed code. I've done all the steps outlined in "Referencing Other Assemblies...", but I'm still getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Here's a sample of a script that's having a problem. The line in green is the one that seems to be cause of the error. This is extremely frustrating. This code will even run from a command line console without error. Why is it so difficult to deploy one of these projects with managed code?
Code Snippet
Public Sub Main()
Dim variable1 As String = DirectCast(Dts.Variables("packagevariable1").Value, String)
Dim variable2 As String = DirectCast(Dts.Variables("packagevariable2").Value, String)

Dim variable4 As String = DirectCast(Dts.Variables("packagevariable4").Value, String)
Dim filePath As String = DirectCast(Dts.Variables("filePath").Value, String)

Hi:
I am new to SSIS. I would like to know if I want to transfer data from one Oracle schema to another Oracle schema and also to do scheduling of the packages, can I still use SSIS? If yes, what are the components that need to be installed on the database server and the development environment? I hope I don't need the full SQL Server database installation in order to use SSIS.
Thanks!

When our production site was deployed on the client's WinServer2003, my webservice is throwing a "server does not exist or access denied" exception. I'm using the same connection string (typed once) as i'm using in my web forms on the user visible sections of the site. the service also works fine on my XP testing machine. unfortunately, I'm not a 2003 admin. If anyone can help, i would greatly appreciate it, trying to find what is misconfigured on the client's server is driving me bonkers.

a while back i had to do a project with an access database, one of the biggest problems i had back then was gettting the primary key
of a datarow you had just inserted into the database.
After a long set of trial and error i came up with the following:
- add the tablemappings of a table
- call the dataadapte.fillschema method
then after inserting a new row into the database the primary key gets filled in automatically!
now thing is
i was hoping to duplicate this in sql server
but it doesn't seem to work at all
so after i insert a row into my datatable
and update it
the row is in the database
but in vb the datarow primary key is not filled in!
anyone have an idea?
prefereabely one that does not resort to stored procedures with return parameters etc
thx a million in advance!

sql server 7.0 on winnt
pl/sql code on oracle 8.0
Look at the following code,
Create table #test
(
id int primary key,
Name varchar(100)
)
insert into #test values (1,'John')
insert into #test values (2,'Walker')
[Code] ....
-- Query 1 :
update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1
-- Query 2 :
set rowcount 1
update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1
set rowcount 0
1. #test table have primary key & clustered index.
2. Obviously only one row will be available for an id.
3. In query 1, will the sql server look for matching rows even after it found 1 row?
4. Will query 2 really gains some performance?
I've been working with Database Mail for some time but I haven't seen this one before. I have a maintenance plan that does the following:
1. Check database integrity
On Success:
2. Perform backups
On Success:
3. Perform a maintenance cleanup
On Success:
4. Notify operator of success
Steps 1 - 3 are also linked (via On Failure arrows) to a singular Notify Operator of Failure task.
The maintenance plan does exactly what I want it to, and if everything goes correctly, it successfully sends an email to an operator.
If steps 1 - 3 fail, the job ends in an error state, but does not trigger the Notify Operator of Failure task.
I was able to recreate the problem by creating another maintenance plan on the same instance with the same steps. Its "Notify Operator" on failure task also doesn't work.
It occurs to me that maybe I'm missing something, so here's some of the details of my SQL server:
SQL 2008 + SP1 (10.0.2531) x64 on Windows 2008 R2
DB Mail profile is public and default
I do have a slightly unusual profile, in that it uses two accounts:
1. A connection to a SharePoint SMTP service (where it catches emails directed at document libraries)
2. A connection to a UNIX-based smtp server (which routes mail to regular mailboxes and my SQL DBA mailing list)
The Profile will attempt to send to the SharePoint server first. The SharePoint server does not relay. If the document library email address doesn't exist, SQL will raise a warning (in the Database Mail log) and the profile will use the second account on the list, which is a real mail server and can relay the message to any mailbox.
It works really well, actually. When the maintenance plan completes successfully, the message is sent to the drop folder on the SharePoint server, and SharePoint routes the email to the correct library, and we have a central archive of all DB Mail notifications.
But if the job fails (for example, if the backup disk is out of space), none of this happens. According to the log, the job doesn't even try to send a notification. Looking at the DBMail log, the Mail service does not start. No email is delivered to the drop folder of the receiving SMTP server. So I don't think my Database Mail configuration is the problem here. It is apparently something to do with the way the job itself handles errors.
I am runing Windows 2003 which has both SQL2000 and SQL2005.
The following works in 2000 but not 20005
Code Snippet
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000)
set @sql = 'sp_addlinkedserver @server = N''dbAccessPO'',
@provider = N''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'',
@srvproduct = N''OLE DB Provider for Jet'',
@datasrc = N''C:Temppopts.mdb'''
exec sp_executesql @sql
set @sql = 'sp_addlinkedsrvlogin ''dbAccessPO'', FALSE, ''sa'', ''Admin'', NULL'
exec sp_executesql @sql
Running this:
Code Snippetselect * from dbAccessPO...MyTable
Produces this error:
Code Snippet
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "dbAccessPO" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "dbAccessPO".
I login using sa for both instances.
I could really use your help.
Thanks.
