We had 5 instances of SQL Server running on one of our machines and everything looked to be working fine. Today I installed another instance for a new application and once done and rebooted the new instance didn't show in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. At this point we decided to uninstall it. After that 4 of the existing instances have diapered as well even though they are running and responding requests from their respective applications.
I did some googling and all I could see is something related to a command called nscontrol but I couldn’t find any nscontrol executable on that machine.
Does anyone have any idea what this problem could be?
On Tuesday the SQL Server Counters showed up in Performance Monitor. Yesterday they were gone. Is there any way they could have disappeared other than someone explicitly deleted them? How would I go about restoring them? Obviously, I'm concerned.
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0 I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance. Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance. So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default instance Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
Today when I tried to troubleshoot a failed job, I found out that the job history is disappreared. Some jobs' history still exist. Does anybody have idea what happened? How can I fix it?
When I removed/re-installed SQLServer 2005 (Express) all of my dll's related to SQL Server disappeared from C:ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQLServer90SDKAssemblies: .ConnectionInfo, .Smo,.SMOEnum,.SQLEnum,.WmiEnum that I know of - maybe more.
How can I re-install these? Are they in the SQL kit, VB, SDK ???
Hi All, I encountered a bizzard situation. The guest id in tempdb disappeared after I rebooted (shutdown and startup) my server. That caused errors in application whenever a stored proc needs to create a temporary table. Has anyone seen this happened before? Any idea on why or how it happened? Thanks in advance.
I have a stored procedure that for some reason disappeared on me. When I do “select * from the sysobjects”, it’s there. When I look at it from the EM, it’s not there. I refreshed everything a lot of times. Here is the data I get from the sysobjects:
We setup a number of roles with access rights to tables in the DB. This week for some unknown reason, rights on these roles disappeared. We had to run a restore to reset the roles in the database. After the restore, we could not reproduce the problem. Are there scenarios to avoid that would cause rights to drop from roles and users? (These rights were gone not just hidden)
Hello, I was modifying some standard reports of one planning program, by downloading .rdl file from report server and creating a new report project. I have done so many times. Last weak in one of those new reports only header of the report was seen in the report server as I thought I had made some kind of mistake tried to look for it, and after some time the problem fixed itself and I blamed everything on one mixed up connection between the tables in the report, because after removing it the problem fixed itself, but now I think that was just a coincidence. This weak after working fine for about a weak, 6 reports appeared as only headers and footers, they worked fine yesterday and no changes were made to the reports, but in the morning only the header is seen. The reports that are affected are the 4 new ones, and 2 original ones, they are all dealing with the same date just different grouping and sorting. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

with sql server 2000, it is possible to have multiple instances on one server. Now I want to make the second server a subscriber for specific tables before there are some tests/major changes. Has anyone experience with this on the same server. Note : sql server subscriptions between different servers in sql server 7 is not the issue.
I created a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on my notebook. I inadvertantly set the trusted SQL connection to Windows Authentication. This is creating a problem with COM because of username and password. I want to reset it to use SQL Server authentication but I can't find where to do it. Can I do this or do I have to delete this instance and create a new one.
Dear SQL Guru,I just found out this morning that my SQL Server box had been added 1more instance. Below is the example:PPAPP0075FINANCE (Old instance)PPAPP0075ACCOUNTING (Old instance)PPAPP0075Accounting (new instance)This is a case sensitive MS Sql server (third party vendor App). TheACCOUNTING instance is the one we have been using for our currentapplications. I found out the new one(Accounting) when I scan thenetwork by using OSQL -L utility. However, when NT engineers tried toverify the physical files location ofAccounting, and it did not exist. When I tried to register it and itdoes not appear from Enterprise Manager.Please keep in mind NT Engineers have been monkey around on this serverquite a lot in last a few weeks, especially modifying Registry keys.My question is, where did PPAPP0075Acounting come from? We never evertried to install any more instance on this server.Please help,Thanks,Silaphet,
I already have a copy of SQL SERVER 2000 installed on my current local machine. How is it possible that I create another second instance for example TEST/silkkeng in SQL Server Enterprise Manager? OR SQL query ? Is it possible ? Or the only solution is ReInstall SQL to create another instances?
Hi, I've got an application which uses the DBFactory Provider to enumerate a list of available SQL instances on the local network.
I've just reformatted though and put everything back on, and my application will now see the sql server instances on the network, but not the instances on the local computer (only the server name), eg, it will see "BENSQLEXPRESS" on a computer (BEN) on the local network, and give the version info, etc, but it only sees "DAN" instead of "DANPCP" and "DANSQLEXPRESS" on the local computer (DAN).
Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
I am playing around in a test environment with SQL Server 2014. I have a question about the default location of the report server databases when you have multiple report server instances installed on one server.
I did a very simple install of SQL Server 2014 with the database and Reporting Services in Native Mode (install only) features selected. Accepting the default locations, I ended up with the following locations as you would expect:
Running the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I created the Report Server database. After creating the Report Server database, the related files will be located below in the SQL folder as I would expect.
Next I installed another instance, which I called Test, of SQL Server 2014 like I did above. I now have the following folder structure the Test instance as I expect.
Hi, I want to list the instances SQL server in the network and their corresponding database. I found an API which list the server names in the network, but only for the main SQL server it is connecting and listing the database. For others it times out and gives run time error [DBNETLIB] Connection Open () SQL server doesn¡¯t exist or access denied could anyone help on this
I am running SQL 7.0 as the default instance and SQL 2K as a named instance. Each is using a different port....7.0 is using port 1433 and 2K is using 1024. Everything appears to be up and running fine on the server. However, I am not able to access the 2K instance from a client. I have tried to use both TCP IP and named pipes setting them up using the server network utility and the client network utility. No luck anywhere. I continue to get connection errors...check network documentation...
I an involved in a project that will have five sql server instances on an NT cluster. I cannot find anywhere on Technet info on what happens when a single instance fails. Do they all have to fail over or just the failed instance. This is important so that we get the disk layout correct.
Can anybody help ? or point me to any docs on this.
Informatica jobs were erroring out with a sql server driver error while connecting to a named instance in SQL Server. The issue was because in sql server named instance, the port was allocated dynamically and Informatica 7.1.4 (provides 4.21 version of Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server) which dont have support for named instances with dynamic port allocation. This feature is only present from version 5 of the Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server To fix this issue, I need to allocate the port for the named instance instead of getting it dynamically. My questions 1) Whats the impact of doing a port allocation for the named instance on the existing environment. 2) Is there any issues which we can foresee in the applications 3) Things which i need to be aware of Thanks in advance sreenath
I need any information on whether its possible to create more than 16 instances of SQL Server 2000. I know Microsoft says they don't support over 16 but what are the downfalls of doing this? How many could possibly be put on one server?
Is there any limit on SQL server Multiple Instances? if we require to run 60+ Instances on single machine what will be the minimum hardware requirements.
