Easy Question: SQL Server Agent Problem

Jun 1, 2000

Experts:

I think this is probably an easy question for you. I have installed MSDE and
SS Desktop Edition on two different machines (Windows 98). Each time I try
to look at the Properties menu for SS Agent in Enterprise Manager, EM hangs.
I installed Service Pack 2 on one machine, but that did not fix the problem.
Also if I change SA password to something other than the default, SS Agent
will not start. It only starts with the default password; shouldn't I change
this for security reasons. I have SS7 running on another Windows NT box with
none of these problems.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Gary

Execute Sql Server Agent Job Task - Job Immediately Returns Success... However Agent Job Is Still Running???

Nov 30, 2006

when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds



However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.



Thanks,

Larry

Real Easy Newby Q: SQL Server

Oct 28, 2005

This Q is so easy I can't find the answer anywhere!
Why is SQL Server called 'Server' ? I understand it is a lot more capable and robust than Access but where does 'server' come into it.
I currently use ASP and Access for dynamic websites but it is time to move up a notch.
Do I just buy SQL Server, make a database, upload it to the same place as before and hey presto?
can I run lots of websites (on different domains and servers) from databases created with my single license standard edition?
Thanks

Easy Question About Server Log Files

Feb 2, 2004

SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000

Is there a way to set up the SQL Server Log files so that it automatically creates a new one (or overwrites the old one) when the old one is full?

We keep having people shut out of our web site due to the log file being full. Since we have no DBA I volunteered to try to find out how we can avoid this faux pas in the future.

Thanks for your help!

Easy Data Entry In SQL Server

Jan 22, 2006

Hi all,

I have been using SQL Server 2K for a couple of months now and I have been entering data into my tables through Enterprise Manager. I do this by selecting the table, right-clicking on it, and selecting Return All Rows.

After months of use, this method of entering data has become tedious and cumbersome. Is there an easier way to enter data into SQL Server? I don't know how to program Visual Basic, but I know how to create dynamic websites.

Microsoft Access offers the ability to make Forms, so that data entry is easier. Can SQL Server offer anything similar? Maybe SQL Server 2005 offers a GUI for data entry?

Cheers for your help!

New Databases In SQL Server...easy Design Methods?

Dec 2, 2005

I am new to using SQL Server but will be having to get to know it at work and have downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express to tinker with at home.

What are the easiest methods to set up a relational database?

Are there any tools you can download to give SQL Server or the express version functionality similar to Access?

Can you get a tool to allow you to not only design tables in design view but then go on to create relationships and a database model?

Please excuse my ignorance if this is possible already, can anyone provide any links to getting started links?

There seems to be plenty out there about writing queries and stored procedures etc. but I haven't found as much about setting up a database from scratch.

Thanks in advance,

JJJ.

SQL Server 2005 Non-ansi Joins: Any Easy Solutions?

Jul 20, 2006

My company wants me to research and flags or registry tricks that would allow non-ansi joins '=*' and '*=' in SQL Server 2005 with a compatiblity mode of 90 to be allowed.

The way I understand the situation is that in SQL Server 2005 with the database compatiblity set to 90, non-ansi join SQL such as the following would not work.

Select * from
Customer, Sales
Where Customer.CustomerID *= Sales.CustomerID

To work, the SQL above would have to be converted to ansi join SQL such as the following:

Select * from
Customer LEFT OUTER JOIN Sales
On Customer.CustomerID = Sales.CustomerID

Many hours would be spent browsing through millions of lines of code to find the non-ansi SQL and have changes made.

Does anyone know of any trace flaqs or registry entries that would allow SQL Server 2005 work in 90 compatiblity and still allow non-ansi =* and *= joins in SQL?

Thanks,
AIMDBA

SQL Server 2008 :: Easy Way To Compare Contents Of Objects Between 2 Different Databases?

Jul 20, 2015

Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:

use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')

use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')

Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....

Snapshot Agent &&amp; Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

Hi All,

I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!

I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.

I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.

If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.



Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.

For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).

This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"

Any ideas???





Also this domain account is a member of

ReadWriteDeleteMessageFile FAILURE With SQL Server Mobile Server Agent Diagnostics

Jul 31, 2007

Hi all.

Is there a difference with sql replication between sql server 2005 64bit and sql server 2005 32bit?
Both are on a Windows 2003 server. One is 32 bit and the other one is 64 bit.
The first time I set up sql replication (test environment), it was on a 32 bit sql server. This worked fine.
The second time I wanted to set up replication (live environment), it was on a 64 bit sql server. This didn't worked fine.


I can't call the sqlcesa30.dll file on the 64bit server with IIS. So I called the dll via a remote IIS server.
This worked but gave me the following error when calling the following URL:
http://domain/PDASYNC/sqlcesa30.dll?diag

Has anyone any idea what else to check? Or is sure that I must have done something wrong?

Connecting to servers on the same domain works and when I run it from the msdb package store in ssis (ssis runs under the network service account ...) it will connect to the pop server as well. Permissions, fiddly proxies .. the answer's out there somewhere

Using SQL Server Agent

Aug 7, 2002

Is it possible to schedule a job to automatically send e-mails based on criteria in a database table, maybe using CDONTS? I don't want to use SQLMail, since my administrator has not set that up. Also, I don't want to write the code in an ASP page for the following reason: If the page is not being viewed at the time I want the e-mail to be sent, it won't work. Besides, it's not efficient to have to read this code for no reason every time a page is loaded in the hopes someone loads it at the correct time. Any suggestions?

SQL Server Agent

Oct 23, 2002

In SQL Server 2000, how can I set up SQL Server Agent to automatically start up when SQL Server starts up ? I do NOT want these to start up when the OS starts (so setting them to automatic in Control Panel Services is no good). When I shut down SQL Server the SQL Server Agent does automatically shut down too but I cannot get it to start up.

SQL Server Agent

I am running 3 instances of SQL2000 SP3a on a windows 2000 server. Over the weekend, the server was restarted due to security patches being applied. All 3 instances are setup the same (Automatically start SQL Server Agent when restarting server). The 2 named instances started the agent fine but the default instance did not. There are no errors in the log. When I started it manually this morning, it started fine with no errors. Does anyone have any idea why the agent would not have started automatically?
