Can't Connect To External SQL Server (Please Help)
Jan 24, 2007Hi all... Very much a newbie here to setting up SQL server, and am pulling my hair out over a problem...
I have a VPS running Win2003 64bit and have setup my ASP forum on it (I also have SQLExpress 2005 installed on the VPS) - I have a SQL DataBase running on an external server which my old host setup for me and the old forum has been using... Now all I want to do is for my ASP forum on my server to connect to this external SQL DB... How easy!? Well not for me ..
This is the error
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I know its my VPS causing the problem, as I asked a friend to see if he could connect to it via his server and the forum worked straight off no changes...
After some investigating I have found a few threads about advice but still cannot get it to connect to the external SQL DB (BTW I can connect to a SQL DB on my server its just externally)... This is what I have done / Checked so far..
1. I have changed the connection string to include the port number 1433
(Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=THEIPADDRESS,1433;Initial Catalog=DB;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxx;)
2. I can ping the IP address of the external SQL Server with no problems
3. On my server I have enabled TCP/IP in SQLExpress & added sqlservr.exe as an exception in the Firewall
4. I have even tried turning the Firewall off completely while I tried to connect - But still nothing.
If anyone can help me I would be very appreciated.... I am starting to tear my hair out as I can't think what else I need to do???
Thanks
No External Connections Are Permitted While Trying To Connect To SQL Server
Apr 9, 2007ok so this is my code:
private void iDListBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string connectionString = GetConnectionString();
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Naam=@Naam", connection);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Naam", iDListBox.SelectedValue);
connection.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (reader.Read())
{
naamTextBox.Text = reader.GetString(1);
}
reader.Dispose();
connection.Dispose();
}
}
static private string GetConnectionString()
{
return "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;"
+ "Integrated Security=SSPI;";
}
but when I change the selected index of the listbox, then this error comes up:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled
Message="An error occured while setting up a connection with the server. At making a connection with SQL server 2005, this jamming is possibly caused by the fact that at the standardinstitutions of SQL server no external connections have been permitted (provider: Provider of named pipes, error: 40 - no connection with SQL could open server)"
If the error sounds a bit weird, sry I tried to translate as most of my errors come in my language
someone knows what the problem is and a solution to it?
(btw sry if this is in the wrong part of the sql forum, but there are so much parts, I didn't know which to choose lol )
thx in advance
Connect To SQL Through External IP
Feb 20, 2007have setup SQL 6.5 on a machine. I have verified that port 1433 is opened for SQL. I am also using a router dell 2300. I am running Windows XP.
I have set up my machine to port forward and have setup a static ip 192.168.2.136 nothing I do seems to work.
I can connect to the server by name
ex:
MyStr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=MYSQLPC,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=master;User ID=myusername;Password=password;"
Conn.open MyStr
I can also connect using internal IP address
ex:
MyStr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=192.168.2.136,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=master;User ID=username;Password=password;"
Conn.open MyStr
but when I try to connect to the external IP 12.xxx.xxx.xxx
I get the dreaded sql does not exist error.
I can register the server by external ip. When I try to start the server I get an (RPC server unavailable) error.
I can ping the external ip.
I can telnet 192.168.2.136 1433 without error
I can connect though security manager using 12.xxx.xx.xx
I can't telnet 12.xxx.xx.xx.
I think its router but I do not know what I'm missing. I have static ip 192.68.136 set up.
Router Port Forward Settings
Service Enabled In Port Dest Addy Dest Port Type
MSSQLSER Y 1433-1434 192.168.2.136 1433-1433 TCP
MSSQLSER Y 1434-1434 192.168.2.136 1434-1434 UDP
I have also read that some ISP's block port 1433 due to the worm problem. So I changed the listining port from 1433 to 1971. I am still able to connect using this new port with local ip or local name. I still cannot connect to external IP. (I did change router setting to reflect new port forward to 1971)
I am not sure what I missing.
Thanks in advance for any help

Connecting To An External Server

External Access To SQL Server
Jul 3, 2006Hello,
I'm not sure whether this is right section to post this. It seems the most relevant one to me. (Please point me in the right direction if it is not).
I am a programmer/web developer for a medium sized organisation in the financial industry (in Australia). Obviously being in the finance industry, we have very strict guidelines and access when it comes to security. We are currently in the process of converting our website to use a SQL Server database (instead of MS Access which we have been using for years). In the past, we have accessed our web database via SFTP as it was only an Access file. Now that we are converting to SQL Server, we will still need access to our database (which is on a server hosted externally). It seems a bit silly (and even bizarre) to me to consider trying to access a SQL Server database via SFTP (as that, to me, defeats the purpose of some of its security features), but is it even possible?
My security guys here will only allow me to access the external server that hosts our website/database via SFTP (on a machine that is outside our network, so any files that I wish to update on our website I need to copy over via USB or whatever). If I am not able to get into the SQL Server administrator program to change our database via SFTP, is there someway that I can "drop" a changed copy of our database into a directory somewhere that SQL Server can "pick up"?
Am I making sense?
Many thanks,
Bronwyn

View 3 Replies View RelatedNew Server Registration To External Database
May 11, 2006Hi All,
Quick question ...
Is it possible to add an external server registration using SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP?
Reason being I have been doing some work from home and need to port the data back to the office who are on SQL 2000. I have a database with my web hosting company and wanted to export the data to the 'live' database so I could import to the office database - any ideas?
I've tried to connect using my login details and I know the live DB is operational as I can connect through my work system. I just can't seem to be able to do it on my system at home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's been a real pain to get stuff transferred. I've so far had to generate SQL script to create the procs and tables for when I get to work - the proper down side is that I lose the content of the tables which not much right now but will be loads soon!
Many Thanks
--
I have just dicovered that the CTP management studio will not connect to SQL 7 - is there any alternative or does the new version compensate for this?
Install SQL Server Express On An External HD?
Aug 24, 2007The reason that I would like to install SQL Server Express on an external hard drive is for portability. I am developing a database that I will be working on in the office and at home. At the current time, I do not have a laptop at the office (and I don't want to use my personal laptop for this project). I need a way to develop and test the database both at home and at the office.
I was wondering if anyone knows if this crazy idea would work. I am also thinking of doing the same with Visual Studio Express. Since there are no licensing violations to speak of for these software packages, it would seem like this could work.
Any thoughts?

Transferring Data Between External Source And SQL-server
Dec 9, 1999How can I move data from an external source to SQL-server 6.5.
If you for example has an oracle database on a UNIX or VMS-system and want
to move table data from a table in the oracle database to the SQL-server database.
There must be plenty of tools to do that via ODBC.
Any suggestions ?
External Stored Procedure In SQL Server 2005(x64)
Aug 9, 2006I have generated a DLL file in VC++ 2005 by a 'C' file. It works fine when I put in a 32bits machine(32bits Windows Server 2003 + 32 bits SQL Server 2005).
However, when I build it into 64 bits, it doesn't work in a 64 bits machine. I have checked by Dependenct Walker, the DLL generated is linked with KERNEL32.DLL / OPENDS60.DLL / MSVCR80D.DLL, all of these DLL files are on the 64 bits machines and linked correctly.
I used the command
sp_addextendedproc 'abc', 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinnabc.dll'
to create a ext. stored procedure. When I run it, the error message shows that
Could not load the DLL C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinnabc.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 126(error not found).
I would like to ask what is cause of the problem? Do I need to use CLR instead?
Thank you very much!!~
Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005
Dec 12, 2006I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Connecting To An External SQL 2000 Server From A Vista Machine With SQL 2005 Installed
Nov 26, 2006hi there - I'm praying someone here can shed some light on this - after many google and web searches, I have found users with similar issues, but have yet to find a solution.
Problem: I have recently upgraded my desktop from Windows XP to Windows Vista Ultimate (clean install) and have migrated my local machine to SQL Server 2005. However I have a number of .Net projects that access databased on another server running SQL Server 2000 - prior to my upgrade to Vista, I was running SQL Server 2000 on my desktop as well. During the install, everything seemed to go well, and I also installed the SQL Server 2005 Service pack as instructed via the MSDN site. However, when attempting to test my .net projects on my desktop pc (ie visit http://localhost), I encounter the error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting 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)
note that the server I am attempting to connect TO is the old SQL 2000 server - NOT 2005. I specify my connection info in the web.config - and it points to an external ip address on the web.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I've tried enabling remote access on my local SQL 2005 install, but I'm fairly sure thats for servers that want to connect to my desktop, rather than my desktop attempting to connect to external servers. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm pulling my hair out over trying to figure this out! :)
To summarize my setup (if it helps)
Desktop PC:Windows Vista (Ultimate)SQL Server 2005Visual Studio 2005II 7.0.Net 2.0 (ASP.Net Application)
External Server (co-located at a datacenter)Windows Server 2003SQL Server 2000IIS 6.0.Net 2.0 (ASP.Net Application)
Much appreciated,

SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Running Long And Backup Threads Show Suspended
Feb 18, 2015SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.

Can Windows 2003 Server Backup Utility Be Used To Backup A SQL 2000 Dbase
Dec 28, 2007Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.

How Do I Configure SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services To Deliver Subscription E-mails To Addresses External To My Windows Domain
Jun 10, 2007Can anyone help me with a problem I have with SSRS 2005? How do I configure SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to deliver subscription e-mails to addresses external to my windows domain?
I've been having trouble configuring the Report Server e-mail delivery component to send subscription e-mails to addresses outside the domain on which the report server is hosted.
For e.g. since my local windows domain is named "smartsystems.com", I have found that the Report Manager does not have any problems sending subscription mails to "eawagu@smartsystems.com" but throws up an error whenever I include "eawagu@yahoo.com" in the recipients' list.
Any insights?

SQL Server Backup And Third Part Backup Tool
Oct 2, 2001SQL 7.0 SP1.
We do SQL Server backup and also third part backup (with SQL agent active) of SQL Server databases.
Sometimes happen this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
01.00 third part backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
or this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.10 third part backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
My questions now are:
Are my SQL Server backups valid (DB,Differenatial and T-LOG)?
In case of a restore operation, can I use my SQL Server backups without problem?
In other words, can we leave the third part backup tool active or it should be taken away?
Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

Can't Connect .Net Application From Windows Server 2003 To Database Server (SQL Server 2000)
Apr 3, 2008Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting 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)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran
