Hi guys,
Please can anyone show me how to connect SQL Server 2005 to ODBC Driver(Novell).
The import/export wizard data source has no ODBC option.
My final goal is to extract data from an eDirectory into SQL table.
I used Novell Client to create a link to eDirectory; with the ODBC driver as the data Source for the SQL Server to extract data from.
Every help will be rewarded with appreciation.
Thanks
Hi
I'm a newbie at SQL 2005 and I'm trying to create linked tables to our ERP system through ODBC. I can do this in MS Access or vb.net by using the ERP system's ODBC driver, but I am lost when it comes to SQL Server 2005.
Thanks for any help
If I define a table-valued function in a SQL Server 2005 database, can I link to it from Access 2003 using ODBC?
I've defined the function successfully, and I can link from Access to tables in the database (so my ODBC link is basically functioning), but I can't see the table-valued function in the Linked Table Manager in Access.
I can define a pass-through query to grab the table, but with a pass-through query I have to provide the ODBC password every time.
What am I missing?
Suggestions?
I have a sql server 2005 database with Delphi 2006 in the front end and for querrying and reporting we use MS Access 2003 by connecting to this database via ODBC connection. I recently found out that the SQL Server 2005 data connected thus can be edited (updated) from MS Access. I do not want end users to modify/update the SQL Server 2005 data from MS Access while I also want them to have the ability to insert/update/delete rights using the appropriate application interface. For now, I am handling this by creating a user id that is not permitted to update, insert and delete and using the same account in the ODBC. Is there a way in SQL Server 2005 you can control insert/update/delete rights for all users that will be applicable only in the ODBC mode?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello All
I am trying to use SQL 2005 express as a datasource for a mailmerge with Word 2000.
I have created a ODBC link successfully. I have enabled all the protocols. When I open the ODBC link, all I see is a ODBC drop down. I cant see or select any database tables?
When I open the dsn I get a dialog caled Header Record Delimiters. I accept the defaults and then I get another Dialog called Mail Merge Recipients with a whole lot of connection info, but no sign of any database tables.
Any Ideas?
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
is it possible to link a table with odbc into sql server?
it would be nice to link an MS Access table into sql server where i could use stored procedures to access the MS Access table.
Okay-- if anyone can solve this they are truly the SQL genius! We are getting this error when we run a VB program that we use to access an SQL database on a server across our network on a workstation. In fact we get this same error when we even run the program on the server where the SQL database is running or on any of our workstations. Here is the error message:
08501:[Micorsoft][odbc sql server driver] communications link failure
Now the odd thing is that many other functions in the workstation application work fine and retrieve data from SQL but certain data requests by the workstation application fail with the above error message and we get this message consistently. Even though it appears that different workstations running the identical Vb application will get this error consistently but in different locations when running the application. We were running SQL 6.5 on an old server, with the workstation application for literally years without any problems. We also decided to upgrade to a new server, installed server 2000 operating system and the latest version of SQl -- moved all the databases pointed the workstations odbc at this new server and get exactly the same error in the same location in the workstation applications. The programmer that wrote the application and designed the database in SQL can't find the problem and a number of other computer "experts" also could not find the error. We did add a new linksys DSL router/firewall but everything kept working after this installation for several weeks so I don't know if this is the problem on the network. THe programmer also noted that he had problems using terminal services on our network to connect to his office computer and decided that there must be some network issues that are causing the ODBC communicaitions to fail and also terminal services to fail-- or of course they may be unrelated. Has anyone ever seen this ODBC communication error in their travels through SQL implementations? Any help will be greatly appreciated. If we can't fix this we will have to abandon a software application that has been used for over five years and just too complex to rewrite.

PLEASE HELP ME
I'm a pretty smart guy, but sometimes I end up feeling left behind with all of the terminology I don't recognize.
I am running XP Pro, Access 2003, and SQL Server 2005 express.
I want to set up a ODBC connection in Access to a table that has been created in an SQL Server 2005 Express Database.
I keep getting the message connection failed, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Can somebody here please help me?
All,
I need a help from you all. I am getting this error if the users are running the application which is connecting from MSAccess97 to SQL Server 2000.
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I would appreciate if you send me the resolution for this problem.
Thanks,

I get the message Microsoft [ODBC Sql server driver]communication link failure error message in my VB 6 application with MSDE engine. This error does not happen often.
My connection string is as below.
"Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & mSvrName & ";DATABASE=cnsClient;uid=uid;pwd=pwd"
Please help.
Several of our customers are getting a message intermitantly throughout the day where the connection is closed. The message being generated is [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication Link Failure.
These messages started in the last two weeks.
Thanks for any direction that can be thrown my way.

I have created a linked server on which following query works fine.
EXECUTE ('SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dummyOBJECTS') AT [REMOTE]
but the same statement executed with openquery
select * from openquery([remote],'select top 10 * from dummyObjects') returns following error.
Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "remote" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "dummyObjectID" (compile-time ordinal 1) of object "select top 10 * from dummyobjects" was reported to have a "Incomplete schema-error logic." of 0 at compile time and 0 at run time.
Hi,
I'm having problems successfully executing bcp_init through a function pointer retrieved at run time from sqlncli.dll.
The call works when the library is statically linked.
Can someone please point out the problem? The commented out code in green executes successfully when the library is statically linked. Code marked in red fails.
SQLGetDiagRecW does not provide any useful information.
Any help is appreciated.

I am connecting to a MsAccess-database using ODBC. While developing the package we have changed mappings for this database. The ODBC was changed accordingly and the old definitions were deleted. However SSIS is still using the old ODBC-links even when deleting all existing connections and adding a new connection. Somehow the old settings have been saved and are being reused in the DataReader Source. If so where are they saved and how can I change/delete them ???? Note: I suspect the Server Explorer because every time I add a data connection using the ODBC, the Datareader Source starts using the wrong definition (even when Server Explorer uses the correct one).

I have just downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express version, enabled TCIP and Named pipes but when I try to link to the tables with Access 2003 or try to create a database connection I get an error 17 "connection failed - SQL Server does not exist or access is denied".
I am able to open Management Studio Express and see all of the databases, including another SQL Server 2005 server that I have. I am able to Link to my other server but I can't get see my local install.
What can I do?

Hi,
I just developed a ASP.NET website with SQL Server 2005 as database. I am having connection crash problem when multiple user click on same link to fetch data from the database. If users click on different links or there is few seconds of time gap between the data access, then it works fine. But the connections crash problem only occurs when 2 or more users click same link at same time.
I am using the following kind of Datalayers to access the data from database:
public static ContentInformation GetContentForUpdate(int ContentId)
{
ContentInformation result = new ContentInformation(); ;
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Connection = Connection;
command.CommandText = "Content_GetContentForUpdate1";
SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter("@ContentId", SqlDbType.Int);
parameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
parameter.Value = ContentId;
command.Parameters.Add(parameter);
try
{
command.Connection.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleRow);
if (reader.Read())
{
// read the data
}
reader.Close();
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
Trace.TraceError(ex.Message);
throw ex;
}
finally
{
command.Connection.Close();
}
return result;
}
I would be really grateful if someone can help me out with this problem. Waiting for the soonest reply. Thanks.
I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.

The OLEDB linked server was working under SQL Server 2005 SP1. After installing SP2 the following error occurs:
OLE DB provider 'EDAOLEDB.1' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7308)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have a Login that I setup in SQL Server 2005. The only database roles given to the login are db_datareader and public. On SQL 2000 these permissions are sufficient to allow me to setup a read only ODBC connection using this login and creating an import table in Access. When using the login in SQL 2005 and creating an import table, I am able to edit the underlying data, something I am not able to do with a SQL 2000 ODBC connection. Is there something in SQL 2005 that I am unaware of that would allow this login to modify (update) the table?
