Instance Name

Oct 10, 2006

Hi gang,

Another question. I'm using SQL Server Express and I went to the Configuration Manager and don't find anywhere the default instance 'SQLEXPRESS', instead I see things like "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration" and under that "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER". Does this mean that whoever installed Express named the default instance "MSSQLSERVER"?

Also from my application I use a connection string to connect to SQL Express using "SERVER=MYSERVER" and it connects fine but when I try to use "SERVER=MYSERVERMSSQLSERVER" or "SERVER=MYSERVERSQLEXPRESS" it doesn't connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Connect To Named Instance (2nd Instance) From Local SSMS

Jul 22, 2015

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

SQL 2012 :: Clustered SSAS Unable To Connect To Named Instance (instance Not Found On Server)

Mar 20, 2014

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.

I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.

I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.

Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Migrating From SQL2K Named Instance To SQL2K5 Default Instance

Feb 19, 2007

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?

So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:

Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)

Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)

If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?

Regards,

Vipul

How To Move A Single Database From SQL Server Instance To New SQL Instance

Jan 13, 2007

Hi,

I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..

Thanks in advance..

Named Instance Problems (Default Of 7.0/2000 Instance)

Oct 10, 2001

I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

Single Instance/Multiple Instance/Virtualization Q

May 17, 2007

I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can.

My question: What is the best way to configure the box?

1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc...
1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process?
Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance?

Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover.

I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment?

Thanks
Scott

Migrating From Named Instance To Default Instance

Oct 30, 2007

I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.

Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Create A Named Instance On Top Of A Default Instance

Apr 13, 2007

Hi

I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.

Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?

Cheers

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance - Vista Business

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order.  I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.

Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000

Nov 15, 2007

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
 I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However,  I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
 but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
 
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance

May 25, 2006

Hello everyone,

I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.

Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:

in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:

"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."

If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:

"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.

I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?

All this happens on local machine.

Thanks to everybody who can help!

Jeff

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance

Mar 12, 2006

No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€śFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:

MS XP (SP2)

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600

I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

First Instance Only

Mar 21, 2002

Is there a SQL function that will return only the first or top instance of each separate result.

For example:

Select x,y,z
from a

When x,y,z appear more than once in the result set, I only want one of them, or the first one, returned.

Please do not confuse this question with "select top 1 x,y,z from a" - that is a separate animal.

Thank you to all,

2nd SQL Instance. Pro & Con

Jul 9, 2001

Here's our problem:

We have our SQL2000 server setup for the collating sequence that a third
party, Lawson Software, requires, and are in the process of testing our
new Lawson installation.
OK so far, however, we want to use this SQL server for non-Lawson
databases using the default (non-Lawson collating sequence). I think
that we can change the non-Lawson databases individually to the default,
but am afraid that down the road, each time we add a database, we'll
have to remember to change the setting, and will get tripped up from
time to time.

Since Lawson will be more static as far as database creation goes, are
there any suggestions about how to handle this, such as changing the
Server collation back to the default, and set the Lawson databases to
what they need ?

How about installing a 2nd instance of SQL for the non-Lawson
applications on the same server ? Would that keep the Lawson &
non-Lawson things more separate ??

Thanks in advance for your help & suggestions.

Instance Name

Mar 7, 2007

Hello,
This is the present setup.
Server A --> sql server 2000
Server B --> sql server 2005

On my machine I point to an instance name of sql server 2000 to use. i.e.
sqlserver2000Serverinstance1
On my local machine I have installed sql server 2000 and can use the enterprise manager. Have the Admin rights.
I have setup a daily backup job on sql 2000...

On server B, I installed sql 2005. Restored the sql 2000 backup onto sql 2005. And now I have the sql 2000 database in sql server 2005.

Now I can use the sql 2005 by refering to the serverB name (Not an instance).

In Server A, the applications are using a login name (sql authentication) i.e. username, password.

Questions
1) How do I install sql 2005 on my local machine (Remember that I have sql 2000)

2) If I should run the setup for sql 2005 on local machine, then during the installation, do I give it an instance name or should this instance name be done on the server i.e. server B ?

Thanks

Instance Failure.

May 20, 2007

 
why I am getting (Instance failure.) when trying to connect to sql server from the web.config connectionstring..
 
the web.config entry is :
<connectionStrings><add name="website_connectionstring" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=zatoor;integrated security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<!--
<remove name="website_connectionstring"/>
<add name="website_connectionstring" connectionString="Server=whsql-v21.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_143379;User ID=zatoor;Password=Mujtaba2007;Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />-->
</connectionStrings>
 
the code is :sql_connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["website_connectionstring"].ToString());
sql_connection.Open();
