I'm New, I'm Lost, I Think I've Installed The Wrong This!

Jan 12, 2007

Hi folks

I've got experience of developing applications using relational databases, but I've never installed a database on my PC.

I've just downloaded and installed .NET Framework 2.0 without issues. I also did Visual C# Express with no problems and I've made a couple of example projects successfully.

What I wanted to do next was install SQL Server Express so I can design a database and then use Visual C# to create a GUI to do a simple add/edit/delete type scenario.

So, I have installed something called SQL Server 2005. I tried to install SQL Server Express, but for some reason it isn't called that on my list of programs.

When I open that up I have a choice of SQL Server Configuration Manager or SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration. None of these look like what I was expecting - a nice Studio where I can create tables much like MS Access.

Perhaps I need to do something with one of these tools to get to where I want to be, or perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree and I need to do some uninstalling.

I wondered if someone could guide me? I feel so lost that I don't even know the right questions to ask to get the answers.



Thanks



Richard

Installed Wrong Version Of SQL Server

Nov 18, 2002

We installed an Enterprise version onto a server that only needs Standard. Unfortunately an outside supplier installed software and databases on it before we realised our mistake. Is it safe to just install Standard 'over the top'and what would that do to the application's databases ?

Installed SP4 - Version # Okay But Product Level Wrong?

Feb 6, 2007

I have the developer edition of MS SQL and applied SP4 to it. Here's what I get when I execute SELECT @@Version:

Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)   May  3 2005 23:18:38   Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation  Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
According to the readme, here are the version numbers for each service pack:




SQL Server 2000 Version and Level
@@VERSION
Product Level

SQL Server 2000 Original Release
8.00.194
RTM

Do I trust the Version Number or the Product Level? Anyone know what the story is? TIA.

Bought And Installed VS2005 Professional - There Is No Management Studio Got Installed In The SQL Express.!

Jan 26, 2006

Hi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and  installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
 
 
Please advise. Thanks -L

To Find Whether Sql Server 2005 X86 Is Installed Or X64 Is Installed?

Jul 20, 2007

I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.

Help!!!!!!! Lost DB!

Aug 19, 1999

I need help ASAP!

For some reason, we lost a dozen of our tables with valuable data. could be a virus or something that cleared out our data.

The last backup we have is last night at 11PM. If we recover from that backup, all the users lose all of today's work!

Is there a way I can just roll back the transactions from today?????!

I'd really appreciate any help urgently

Hi all......well ill try and explain what I dont understand :-(

I am completely new to SQL. I have downloaded SQL Server Express 2005. I guess I need to download another program now like SQL Query Analyaer so that I can query a database - can anyone recommend a free download that will do the job?? I had a play around with one that I downloaded but to be honest, I have no idea on how to get the two programs talking.

Is someone able to guide me through how to initially set up SQl Server and how to get evrything working??

Much appreciated :-)

Am Completely Lost

Jun 10, 2006

Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL.  I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table.  From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table.   I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist?  I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.

What If The Logfile(s) Are Lost?

Nov 27, 2000

Hi, maybe someone has some clues to the following situation. Suppose from a SQL 7 database, only the log .ldf files are lost. All datafiles are present. Suppose there is no backup of this database. SQL Server will put the database in the SUSPECT status. The following question is very interesting to me: Can one recover from this situation??? I ask this, because when datafiles are lost, it's obvious that you have lost data, but since the transaction log files are a "bit special", I just wonder how one can survive such a situation.
I know that IF a database has only ONE log file associated with it, and this one log file gets lost, SQL Server will create on startup a new log file. But with multiple log files, it does not behave in this sympathic manner. Is there perhaps any way to recover (for example, an undocumented dbcc command or so) ?
I surely will appreciate any tip or suggestion !! Thanks!!!

Data Lost

Oct 22, 2000

We lost all the data we had in a table. We restored the db and the transaction log up to a point in time, but could still not recover the table. We eventually only do db restore without the transaction log. We recovered the data in the table in question, but lost all the data entered that particular day. Does any body have a solution or suggestion that can help? I will be greatly appreciated.

Lost Identity Value On

Mar 19, 1999

Hi,
I face a different behaviour between SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 regarding
the global variable @@identity.
I insert a row into a table with an identity column. This table has
an insert trigger attached which performs another insert into a second table.
Now I seem to lose the identity value (@@identity is NULL).

Example:
Take the following 2 tables:

create table a
(aaintnot nullidentity,
bbintnot null
)

create table b
(bintnot null
)
go

Table a has a trigger attached:

create trigger a_trigger
on a
for insert
as
insert b
select aa
from inserted
go


After this I execute the following SQL statement:

insert a (bb) values (1)
select @@identity


On 6.5 I get the result:
------------------------------------------
1

On 7.0 I get:
------------------------------------------
(null)

Which means that outside the trigger I have lost my identity value.
This feature of Version 6.5 I usually use to maintain
event logs. Using a trigger hides this maintenance nicely from the
application.
My question is now, is this a new feature of Version 7.0 or is it a bug?
BTW: The books online describe this behaviour in the case when the trigger
inserts value into a table with an identity property, which is not the case
in my example.

Marco

Hi All,

I have lost the system administrator password for my test server which contains

the password is lost , then a SQL re-installation will have to be done.

Is anyone aware of a way to reset the password for SA without reinstalling the

Help With Priviliages That Were Lost

Jun 18, 2006

Hey every one...I'm new here, and I feel rather bad just jumping in with out at least formally saying hi. However, I have a problem that I'm struggling with that I'm not finding an answer to via searches or through my library of books.

I'm sure it's basic, but I'm still new to the world of MS SQL, so please allow my naivety to MS SQL be forgiven.

I've been using MS SQL 2000 and 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine. However, I've been needing to be more mobile, I've been transferring some projects over to an XP pro lap top. There was a mild learning curve with .net with II5, because I've gotten spoiled with II6. However, that's fine.

It's just that when going through the procedure of attaching my databases from my Windows 2003 machine to my XP machine, I'm no longer able to log in, even though I've changed all the Connection string information.

On one database, it's not allowing me to use a stored procedure:

EXECUTE permission denied on object 'ViewSubscriptions', database 'la_market', schema 'dbo'

I know of general information concerning Owners of Databases and what not. However, when I tried to fiddle with granting dbo ownership (which i though DBO was just a general all purpose owner), it gave me other errors.

And on the other Database I'm getting absolutely no access to it what so ever (Once again, I've changed my connection string and everything)

Cannot open database "catalog" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'BUCKYCOREASPNET'.

Now, the problem isn't what I'm showing you here. Normally I have what it takes to find answers to these sort of problems. But with this one, I can't seem to phrase the problem correctly. So, advice would be wonderful. However, just phrasing the problem is good enough. So far I was told that my databases aren't mapped to my current Windows authentication. So, once again, just having some advice as to how to understand the problem will help. I may be new, but I'm enthusiastic and confident.

Thanks to any and all who may help...

MS SQL Lost LDF Need To Restore

Feb 5, 2007

Hey everyone,

I've run into a fairly big problem. Apparently, the automatic backup has not been working since September, and that backup is of no use to me.

What I'm trying to do is restore the database without using the transaction log file. I don't care about a dirty database or lost data. The data is all I need, and the database structure of course.

I've tried several things.

Right click on the <database> go to tasks->attach-> pick MDF file etc.

Following this guide The only problem is I get a different error message. It doesn't ask a yes no question it just says the file doesn't exist and it can't create the database.

I've tried running it from other SQL management software and removing the LOG file when attaching, and that doesn't work. I tried:

Code:

MS SQL

EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = <my db name>
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = <my db name>, @physname = <my db mdf file>



and I get the same message pretty much.

I tried this but I can't seem to get the database into emergency mode.

Am at the end of my rope and I really need this up and running ASAP.

Although I'm not sure of the proper syntax for setting a database into emergency mode, I think the last link I provided might do the trick.

I also tried the following:
http://www.spaceprogram.com/knowled...file-on_12.html
But when I get to step 8, the database is not in a suspect mode. When I click on it it says the database is in accessible.

When I right click and click on properties I get:
Quote:

I checked the server and there is enough memory and disk space, about 2GB on each drive. Should be plenty for my 32MB database.


It's not my neck on the line but I would like to see my coworker stay here.

If anyone here knows anything about this, that would be great.

MS SQL 2000
Windows Server 2000 SP 4

_Any_ help or suggestions, other than the obvious, make sure backups are working, will be greatly appreciated....

Did I mention greatly appreciated?

I think the issue is that the original database was lost when someone else was trying what I'm trying now. They're very delete happy.

I think they may be SOL... glad it's not me, then again I wouldn't use the delete key without making 100% sure it wouldn't screw things up...I especially wouldn't empty the recycling bin. I probably would have deleted a database already burnt to CD, or burned some to CD....or made sure my backups were working. Messy messy network state, last guy left it in a mess. New network/DBA/ if it's got a network cable attached you're responsible. :S I don't like this new company that much. Too stingy... Dual P2 server?!?!?! Isn't that like, antiquated? No wonder there have been 3 dba/network admins/"if it's got a network cable..." that have left in the past year.

Lost Trigger?

Jul 6, 2004

Hi,

I'm using SQL Server 7. I created an insert trigger on a table, and it is working correctly. But how do I now edit it in enterprise manager?

If I right-click on the table, all tasks, manage triggers, all I get is <new> in the name dropdown at the top. Why isn't my trigger there?!?

I must be doing something stupid... I'd appreciate it if someone pointed it out because I don't get it!

Totally Lost -- Please Help

Jul 19, 2004

I am looking thru SQL Books, browsing the forum, but still unclear of the best method to perform the following calculation. I am really struggling with this and any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Situation
Table 1 = customer information. Contains customer #, name, address, etc.
Table 2 = default price list. Contains item #, item desc, price
Table 3 = Allowed discounts based on customer types. Hospital gets $1 off, Doctors get 25 cents off, individuals get no discount.

Further discounts are given for multiple purchases. The 1st item is 100%, 2nd item is 75% and 3rd and subsequent items get 50% off purchase that day.


Here is a basic query result set of customer number, price, item ordered, item description and customer type.

Cust Price ItemNo Item Type
1 $5.50 23432 Moisturizer Hospital
2 $5.55 23453 Moisturizer 2 Indvidual
2 $29.00 23243 Lotion Pkg Indvidual
3 $29.00 23243 Lotion Pkg Doctor
3 $21.25 23232 Gloves Doctor
3 $3.00 23235 Drape Doctor
3 $2.00 27821 Lube Doctor


Calculation

Customer 1 ordered 1 item @ 5.50, but because they are a hospital they get a $1.00 discount. They only ordered 1 item so they pay 100% of the discounted price.

(5.50 - 1.00) * 100% = 4.50

Customer 2 ordered 2 items @ 5.55 and 29.00 respectively. They get no discount because they are an individual client, but do qualify for the multiple item discount of 25% for the second item.

29.00 + 5.55 * 75% = $33.16

Customer 3 ordered 4 items @ 29.00, 21.25, 2.00 and 3.00 respectively. They get a 25 cent discount off each item for being a doctor. They also get a multiple item discount of 25% off the second item and and 50% off items 3 and 4.
The math ideally will look like this

(29.00 - .25)*100% + (21.25 - .25)*75% + (3.00-.25)*50% + (2.00 - .25) * 50% = $47

Problem
For customer 2 if someone entered the lower valued item first the math would look like this

5.55 + 29.00 * 75% = $27.30 (loss of revenue)

Possible Solution
The prices need to be sorted in descending order to maximize revenue prior to discounts being taken for a given day.
Should I use a "rank by clause" statement?

Then I need to multiply the first item by 100%, the 2nd by 75% and the remaining items by 50% to get a grand total of money due. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I am not at all sure how to accomplish this.

I lost in SQL Server 2000 with SP3a on W2K Server Ole DB Provider.
When I trying make new linked server I cannot select Provider name,
because menu is empty. Existing link between SQL servers returning error message Error 7302: Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB'. OLE DB error trace [Non/interface error: CoCreate of DSO for SQLOLEDB returned 0x80004002]. I tried completly uninstall SQL from server and I installed server again without success.

SQL 7 Database Lost?? HELP!!

Jan 30, 2004

I really hope someone has an idea or two that they'd like to share. Here's the deal...I have a customer who has SQL 7 running on an NT 4 server. Under normal circumstances, our client software connects to a DB running on that server. They recently had to reboot the server and now all of the clients on the network can no longer connect to our database...they get an error message similar to this:

Error -2147467259: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Additional Info:
When logging into the server, the service manager shows a "green arrow" in the system tray so I'm assuming SQL is running.

They are running some form of replication to another identical server.

They recently had to replace some network equipment on that segment, but everyone can still ping the server by name and IP. Also, they can access the virtual website on that machine's IIS.

Nobody knows the SA password.

As a test, I tried logging in using one of our software's "internal" login/passwords, but still could not login.

As a test, I tried to create a DSN to connect to SQL using the "guest" account (which should exist) but the wizard wouldn't get past the screen where you provide the authentication info.


Anybody have any advice for me/us?

Lost SS 2K Job Files

Apr 19, 2007

I had several jobs scheduled in the SQL Server Agent before I upgraded from MSDE to 2005 Express. I planned to recreate the jobs in the scheduler later, now it's been a couple of months and I realize that we hadn't kept those scripts outside the database anywhere. Is there any way to recover those job files? We have database backup files going back quite a while, but I'm not sure how I'd go about restoring them. I guess I'd need an instance of SQL Server 2000 (which I have). Would I just restore an old backup there? Is there an easier way?

I'd be grateful for any help you can give.
