Is there any setting to indicate Unicode data to handle, so that no need to exclusively use Unicode data types ( ex nvarchar ).
I need to execute both Unicode and non Unicode SQL statements with in one environment. I don't want to create seperate database again.
Please let me know if any one had approached on SQL server this way. I am looking the way Oracle provides where you don€™t need to declare the data type of the column as Unicode type in table definition but can indicate when running a query to manipulate that field as Unicode field.
Hi, I'm trying to convert our application and support additional east asian languages such as chinese simplified, japanese and korean. I know how to make the asp.net side work by support UTF-8 / global resource files / UICulture and whatever. But what do I have to do on the Sql Server side? I tested a few samples and i'm getting garbage characters after entring some chinese/japanese characters. Another unrelated question, I wrote some custom store procedures (dyanmically concatnated strings), I dont' have sql server 2005, so I'm wondering if I deploy it to sql server 2005, will 2005 be backward compatiable with 2000? I don't have any triggers and stuff, so I'm just wondering if you know anything about it. Thanks.
We have an existing C# application using SQL Server 2000 database. Currently, the app is English-only, however the business now wants to internationalize the app to support multiple languages (French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, etc.). We will have only one database. So, data in multiple languages will be stored in the same database.
My question is about how this affects the ORDER BY clauses in our SQL stored procedures.
I found an article on Microsoft's web site which seemed to imply that we will have to use COLLATE on every single ORDER BY. This seems crazy to me. If this is true, that means we'll have to pass down a collation name to the stored procedures.
Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error when I try to select * from a table through a newly created synonym? I have admin rights to both db, but they are on separate servers.

Hi,I had the SQL Server Express installed on my desktop and it was working just fine.

My manager has asked me to install and configure Source Safe so that our team can check out stored procedures, (and other objects), and check them back in when we are finished working on them.
I'm not familiar with Visual Source Safe. Does SQL Server 2005 work with Visual Source Safe in such a way that I can check out/in SQL Server objects such as procedures?
If someone knows the answer, or perhaps an existing thread that covers this, please let me know.
I have recently upgraded my databases from SQL 2000 to 2005. In 2000, I could set the network affinity so that sql server was only accessible from one of the two network cards. I cannot find how to do this in sql 2005. Is there a way?
In my installation, I have two network cards in each server. The "A" network adapter connects to the "A" hub, and the "B" adapter connected to the "B" hub. Traffic on trhe "B" hub is my private, non-routable network, This is where I want the SQL Server traffic to run. The A hub traffic is the public network. This gives me the ability to isolate SQL Server from the outside world.
Im trying to setup replication between two 2005 standard editions. They are on the same LAN and installed equally + SP1. They are installed as named instances (with the same instance name MSSQL01). Remote access is allowed and TCP/IP and shared memory and I can connect between them.
SQL1MSSQL01 is configured as the publisher & distributor and the snapshot is done. When Im using the subscriber wizard from SQL1 to create the subscriptions and add SQL2MSSQL01 as a subscriber the connection fails to the remote server.
The error message is:
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------
Failed to connect to server SQL2MSSQL01. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
When I do a manual connection to SQL2 using the server managemnet studio on SQL1 I cannot connect using the instance name e.g. SQL2MSSQL01, it works only when only using the server name e.g. SQL2. Then I have full access both when using a windows or SQL user.
When trying with using the server name only when setting up the subscription, I got a error saying that I need to use the full name.
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, ' SQL2MSSQL01'. (Replication.Utilities)
I can also mention that theese servers are cloned from another server and I needed to drop the old servername and add the new servername (sp_addserver) on both servers to get the publisher to work.
When I try to setup the subscription from SQL2 and add SQL1 as a publisher I get the same error.
I am looking for a way to have SQL server accept incomming e-mails and store the contents of the e-mail into the database. I was doing some research on the subject of recieving emails from a SMTP server with the server having an account, but it looks like there are no information on the subject.
Is this possible? Or do I have to use some sort of work around hack?
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".

Hi there! My provider does not yet support SQL Server 2005, they are still on SQL Server 2000. I put together a very basic login page, but it is crashing everytime I access it because of this problem, and sadly I am not advanced enough as yet to know how to remedy it! Can you help? Here is the error page, some of it; - Any ideas gratefully received! Russ.

I know virtual directory is configured properly. I can run aspx page in the directory with out a db connection, without and error.
I have a problem changing the language setting to swedish on sql server 2005 compact edition. The thing is that I'm using a language dependent format: '1998-02-28 14:23:05' (Numeric) when saving and I rather don't want to change this format, because it's a lot of work. (The default setting on the database seems to be us-english, which has the format month-day-year and there by gets wrong for me).
As I understand, this is detemined by the language settings on login. So I set this by using the 'locale identifier' (sv-SE) in the connection string to the CE database, but when I try to save the data, the datum is still interpreted as us-english format.
(The application I'm running have been upgraded from sql compacte edition 2.0 where this worked just fine, though without specifing any language settings in the connection string.)
We want to install 2 applications that run on SQL server 2005 but the requirement of database installation are different Collation setting ( One require Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252 Character Set and other require Dictionary order, case-sensitive, for use with the 437 (US English) Character set). So the question here could I install both two applications successfully on same platform ? and if yes how?
I am setting up a clustered sql 2005 to test replciation and I am having trouble setting the server as a distributor. I get the following message
* SQL Server could not configure xxxx as a Distributor.
Only replication jobs or job schedules can be added, modified, dropped or viewed through replication stored procedures. Changed database context to 'master'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22538)
During an install of SQL Server 2005 Express setting the sa password does not work consistently. The install is being run as administrator and I am using an .ini file to pass the settings,
and while most times it works correctly, occasionally, maybe 4 out of 10 times it fails to set the password and I have been unable to find any warnings or errors in the logs it generates.
We are coming up on release and this is causing us some real problems. Does anyone have any ideas, something I could look at?
I need to set up 1 new user in SQL Server 2005 to be able to read specific tables in a db (db1).
The user will connect from MS access using odbc links (SQL Native client ot SQL Server driver)
I've tried to set up one and once logged on from the user workstation, I can only see sys. tables and INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. None of the required db1 tables appear.
under Security/Logins I've created User1: SQL Server auth. with password default db = db1 server_roles = none user mapping = map, db1, user1,dbo securables = none status = grant, enabled
on the access db, the odbc link was set up with default db = db1
Environment:SQL Server 2005 Enterprise in Win2k3 Enterprise on 32(x86) bit machine I am able to enable the Trace Flag 1400 using DBCC TRACEON (1400) GO. Only then we can able to configure for the ENDPOINTS. I successfully configured the ENDPOINTS for both the principal server and Mirror server .And then when I started the START MIRRORING. I got the error message. Please find the Message below.

If anyone have a solution on how to setup a database mirroring environment.Please send.
sometimes the sa password is set correctly, while other times it is not. There does not appear to be any particular environment or system setting when it fails vs. when it works.
We are coming up on a release date and this is causing us a serious problem. Can anyone help?
I am testing SQL 2005 Standard (32 bit) on a Windows 2003 Server 64 bit with 8GB of RAM? Should I enable the AWP Setting or not and should I change the maximum server memory (currently saying 2GB)?
I'm a newbie to Reporting Services so please forgive my ignorance...
I've recently installed SQL Server Express 2005 with Reporting Services on my Vista Business Notebook (with no network connections) and have installed VS C# Express as well as the Business Intelligence Studio to create reports.
My C# application can connect to SQL Server fine, however, the reports I created with Business Studio refuses to deploy to the server due to the following reason:
"The permissions granted to user 'localhostJenny' are insufficient for performing this operation".
I find this odd as I've been able to deploy reports on my other Windows XP machine (with SQL Server Express) no probs at all. Additionally, I cannot see the 'Site settings' link within Report Manager (Web) that I'd normally get with an admin account (i.e. on my Win. XP machine). Various sources indicate that my account has insufficient access rights to view this.
Having browsed through seemingly endless blogs and forums, I suspect that my local account has not been configured to access the Report Manager web client to publish, manage and administer the site.
I have tried the surface area tool for SQL Server, but I suspect that this is relevant only to SQL Server DB access and management. Adding an administrator here does nothing.
The question is, how can I grant access to myself (local account) to allow me to publish reports via business studio, and at the same time - administer Report Manager Site Settings - on my vista notebook??
I would be extremely grateful for any help on this matter - I've tried ceaseless reinstallations, but to no avail!
I€™m getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.} My windows Regional and Language options €“ English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy. When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I€™m supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format - exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057 reconfigure - did not work EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British' - did not work (Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup] (Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891) - did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work (Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 €“ 4 where applicable €“ did not work€¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates.... Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer. Thank you very much€¦.

I used SQL 2000 before. There are options for setting program files path and data path, which I usually install programs on C: and then data files in D: for easier maintenance. However, I cannot find this options in SQL 2005. Is that both (program files and data) must be locate in the same drive/path? or how can I do it same as SQL 2000? Please advise. Many thanks.

The rest of the script fails due to this line... Now, I am fair at SQL, but I am no DBA. I did some searching and found one post that seemed to have the same problem, and the gentleman solved it himself, but did not explain how lol.
What are the exact requirements implied by the sql 2005 option:
"Password Must Meet Complexity Requirements "
TIA,

P.S. I found this one:
-Cannot contain all or part of the username -Must be at least 6 characters long -Contain 3 of the 4 following character groups - A to Z - a to z - 0 to 9 - Special Characters i.e. ! ^ $ *
and I have also found
"At least 7 characters in length"
Combines letters. numbners, and symbolds
Is not a dicitonary word, name of a command, person's name or user's account name
