We have SQL Server 6.5. We planned to go for Service Pack 5a. Right now SP3 is running on SQL. I went through the "Microsoft Site", we also noted down
some information from the site. In our server we didn't set any password for 'sa'. In the Documentation they hv given some options for setup. I am not able to follow that. Can anybody explain to me what options I hv to give while I execute the setup.exe for "SP5a" and Can anybody please tell me what precautions we have to take before installing the SP5a?.
I had SQL 2000 Eval version installed on my system. After installing SP2 all my dynamic website stopped working. However, I am able to access the database using EM and QA. Once, I create connection string in asp and try to connect through browser, it gives me the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005) [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I am trying the same thing using ASP.NET, I get: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What could be the problem? If I am not able to solve this problem all my site will not work. Please reply as soon as possible.

I dont know how to resolve the problem. Tell me how to resolve it. Thanks in advance.
Hallo, my problem is to upgrade instance of SQL7 to SQL7 SP4.
Server is WIN2K SP4 + MDAC 2.8 SP1
Installing the SQL7 Server from CD is OK.
When i try to apply the SQL7 SP4 the first fase, when SP4 checks all conditions to start is OK, when start to copy file i receive an error -113 like this
On server is installed the library SQLDMO.DLL for SQL2000 but only the library used by an application VB6.
In need to install SQL7 and i can't install SQL2000 or SQL2005 because we work with an application written for SQL7. I've tried to migrate application SQL2000 but not work properly.
We have successfully been using MSCS with MSSQL7 (SP1) running under NT4 EE (SP6a), installed in an active/active configuration using, two DELL PowerEdge 6350 machines. Recently I installed MSSQL7 (SP2), I followed the instructions that came with SP2, and unclustered the SQL nodes using the Failover Cluster Wizard, and installed SP2, this was uneventful, and appeared to install correctly. Next I tried to recluster the SQL nodes using the Failover Cluster Wizard as directed. This failed with: "Could not run setup on remote machine. SQL Cluster Setup failed." So I began the usual research using the usual resources, and have found articles that discusses this error, and the things to look for when it happens. I have exhausted all suggestions without success. I appear to have everything correctly configured. I have enabled Cluster Logging (level 3), following are the two things I have found that indicate something is wrong:
1. In the SQL Error Log the following gets logged when I run the wizard: "Attempting to initialize Distributed Transaction Coordinator." "Failed to obtain TransactionDispenserInterface: XACT_E_TMNOTAVAILABLE"
2. In the Cluster Log I see the following message repeatedly: "[ClRtlCopySecurityDescriptor] MakeSelfRelativeSD failed, 0x00000551"
3. In the sqlclstr.log I see the following, without an indication of which file is missing: "[reghelp.h:235] : 2 (0x2): The system cannot find the file specified." "[clushelp.cpp:166] : 259 (0x103): No more data is available." "[validate.cpp:147] DeleteTestGroup:OpenClusterResource: 5007 (0x138f): The cluster resource could not be found." "~~~ XXX InstallRemote failed"
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this problem? Many thanks in advance.
I am doing drillthrough from ReportA to ReportB via the Date field on ReportA. In Report Manager, all is well. However, when run through a custom app using asp.net and the report viewer control, the behavior was erratic. sometimes it would work. sometimes it would merely bring up the ReportA again and i would have to click Date again and then it would work.
a coworker recommended the Report Viewer fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933137. Since the redistributable was not present in Add/Remove programs on my test box, i installed the full version. I then started up the .net app in debug and ran ReportA and drilled through to ReportB several times and could not make it fail. I was happy.
Since the redistributable was not present on the production box, i installed the full install there as well. However, the erratic report viewer behavior continued.
I decided to try runnign ReportB directly instead of via the drill through from ReportA. ReportB had always run perfectly on its own. When i try to use the graphical date selector control, the results are different depending on the machine I use.
1. If i am using my test box, and i run ReportB directly via the app in debug mode, i get a runtime error indicating Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required. It then points to Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd at the GetObjectPosition(obj) function.
2. If i am using my test box and go out to the live production website, i get the same runtime error.
3. If i am using another machine and go out to the live production website, the data selector control merely seems to refresh the report. This is the same behavior i get when using the production server and going out to the live website.
The redistributable has been uninstalled from both the test box and the production box. This did not change the behavior described above.
All of the Microsoft.ReportViewer items in C:Windowsassembly indicate version 8.0.0.0.
Any help would be grand. Also, please let me know if I should cross post this in the .Net forums.
I'm getting error '0x2B22' when trying to install the SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. It looks like it downloaded alright because the Windows Update says the download size is 0KB. The help for this error just says: "This error is returned when an NT service cannot be restarted."
Any ideas on what I can do to get this installed???
Some of the individual installs on the "Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 - Community Technology Preview (CTP) November 2006" page available here:
I'm working in a manufacturing company which run with a sql server 7 but we 'd like to know whether this is relialable because all our manufacture databse is on that
Does anyone know when SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5 came out and of any reviews on it?? Would like to make sure there are no major issues or bugs before installing company-wide. Thanks in Advance, Bill.
If I update my SQL Server 6.5 server with sp5a, do I need to also update the clients? My clients only have the 'SQL Client Configuration Utility' installed.

My production server has MS SQL Server 7.0 with service pack 2. I want to install the latest service pack but all my seniors who are working on Unix and sybase sql server doesn't want to install SP 4 they think with this service pack there has been no problems, we don't want to install new SP and create problems. CAn anyone guide me that what bugs are fixed and wht are good reasons for installing latest SP over the old one, and Is there any draw backs about new SP.
Has anyone had a problem when installing service pack 2 or 3 on SQL Server 7.0? I'm stuck at MDAC upgrade every time, had to 'end task'. Did select @@version afterwards, still on the old version. I didn't try service pack 1 yet.
I found the following page titled "Can't install SQL server service pack 1", but I'm unable to access. http://www.swynk.com/archive3/4500/45001235457.asp
Any help will be appreciated. Please email me directly. Thanks in advance.
Can someone help me out to uninstall service pack 5a on SQL server 6.5? We have few problems with this new service pack. Stored procedures could not delete temporary tables created in them. Can I load the backup databases from this service pack(5a) to service pack 4 servers?
I wanted to find out more about Service Pack 5. I have heard that the purpose of this service pack is to make SQL Server 6.5 Y2K compliant.
Does anyone know anything about this Service Pack (its contents, release date etc). I have checked the Microsoft SQL Server home page, MSDN Library, TechNet, Knowledge Base and have not had much luck.
I participate in the SQL Server Integration Services and Reporting Services forums and I have seen many outstanding issues users would like to see fixed. Is there a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 being developed and if so when would it become available?
Is there no "passive" install mode for SP1 (gui but no user input required)? I can run unattended using the /quiet switch but this gives me absolutely no feedback as to progress or success/failure of the install. It also returns to the command prompt immediately whilst kicking of msiexec in the background, meaning I can't trap any errorlevel. How are we supposed to check success or failure in applying the SP for unattended installs? For rolling this out across an enterprise we need something, usually hotfix.exe has a passive install mode.
SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 has been released to the web. Many of the questions asked on this forum will be solved by applying Service Pack 2. Please take the time to read about the many benefits this service pack provides.

I'm just installed the sqlserver 2005 sp2 without installing service pack 1. Can i install service pack 1 after installing sp2? or is it sp2 includes all the sp1 updates?
I have recently installed SQL Server SP2 on a Windows 2003 x64 server SP 1 and now I cannot open existing packages on that machine. The packages work fine on other machines. Also, when I create a new package and then attempt to add a data flow component, I get an error that the designer could not be initialized. It does add the component, but when I try to delete it, I get an error that the collection cannot be null (parameter: c). I have read some posts that point to registry permssions, and have ran the sample c# code, but I do not see any problems. Anyone have a suggestion?
Hi, I would like to know which downlaod should I do from the Download page of SQL SERVER 2005 SP I can see there are 3 downloads but have no clue which one I should be downloading. ALl of them are about 300 Mb in size.
How to know which service pack is running in the reporting services? I am aware of " SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')" command. But I guess it shows only sql server sp not reporting service sp. Am I right?
Hi dear Devs! I have a problem and now I am not sure, what I should do. "Microsoft Update" Service warned me, that a new critical update is ready for download. It was the update "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2", I did that. Untill here no problem. The update "SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2" was ready for download too. I have both versions on my computer "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" and "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". The Express Edition came together with the install of "Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite", two days later I have installed the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". Now to my problem, the "SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2" installation failed in one point, the name of it is "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client". The whole installation was not interrupted, it told me only at end of this updating that this point wasn't successful - I saw it in the "Summary.txt". While the install I saw that this "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client" was twice in the list of the Service Pack 2 Update. Both of these points had the identical name. In short words, I saw that the SP2 wanted made an update at "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client" twice. I thought, it is because these two editions of "SQL Server 2005" on my computer. But the result is, that the SP2 couldn't update the second 'Native Client'. I checked it in the 'Software' section in 'Control Panel' and I have really two installations of this "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client". My question is, is that normal, is that because I have two "SQL Server 2005" Editions on my computer? And what can I do with this failed part of the SP2. Can someone help me with this failed 'Native Client' SP2 update? I were really happy, if someone could give me the best solution to fix this problem. Thank you very much for your help and answers
