Issues on Changing Name of our SQL Server Host
Michael G (m1g@hotmail.com)
We are going to rename the Server machine Host Name that our SQL2000
(named instance) Server now resides on.
* I am searching for all references in Operating System items, such as .cmd, .bat. ftp files referring to it (eg., sqlservNM)
* I am searching for all references in Operating System items, such
as ODBC, VB ADO, DOA and DSN-less connections that refer to it.
These references will be changed manually on the day of the change.
I am NOT so certain that I need to search for all SQL Server Objects referring to it, (eg., DTS packages and scheduled Jobs). Must these
objects be changed manually or will they be redirected somehow?
At work, we are in the process of moving a server running SQL Server 7 from one domain to another. A part of this domain change will necessitate that the server be renamed. In a couple of tests that we ran we found that changing the domain does not cause problems, but changing the server name does. How does one register the databases with the new server name without reinstalling everything from scratch?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as we are under a time crunch here. Please reply to my email as I am unable to check this board often.
I have change the name of my host by "network neighborhood" and user sp_dropserver and sp_addserver. But when rebooting the host, I have this following message.
"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unknown package id). Please run setup."
But I change the name of the hostanme to the former name, there is no error.
VPC is configured to use the wireless card on the host. Firewalls on both systems are completely disabled. Machines can ping each other. Both machines can access the Internet. I can browse the SQL Reporting Services Web Site on the Host from the Guest. Host SQL Install has remote connections enabled. If I browse for Network server from teh connect dialog on teh Guest, it finds the Host.
Why can't I connect to the Databse Engine on the Host from the Guest? I have tried both TCP/IP and Named Pipes and both show a connection failure. (Not a login failure)
If it matters, the Guest OS also has a SQL Database Engine running. But I don't know why that would stop me from connecting to a remote instance.
I don't know why my application on the internet try to access the SQL Server 2005, when the host still having the 2000 edition. I put the following connection string: Data Source=##DBSERVER##;Initial Catalog=##DBNAME##;User ID=##DBUSER##;Password=##DBPASSWORD##;
Isn’t everything fine with that? I created the table by host but dosen’t work. I’m wondering if can I conect straight with Data Base, without register in the server, like with mdb?
This is the error that I’m getting. 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I have a page that connects to SQL server. It works fine when running in local host but when I publish to the server, I get the following: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) Any ideas on where to start? Thanks,Mark
I understand that for SQL Server rtrim is not needed in where clause equates because SQL Server
automatically trims the spaces. Is rtrim necessary when comparing to a host variable since rtrim is a deterministic function? It it needed in the following example Select .... where TEXT = rtrim(:I--HV-001)
TEXT is a varchar column in the SQL Server database and it is getting compared to the host variable.
I'm creating an app and have SQL Server 2005 Express installed. Most of the hosts now offering SQL Server 2005 are a bit pricey compared to those only offering 2000. Will I have any difficulty uploading my site and running the db on SQL 2000? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to deploy my database-driven ASP.NET application to my web server. I have hosting through godaddy.com and they require that you run a script through their SQL admin Query Analyzer to create the database. After I attach the database in the Management Studio, I generate the script, copy and paste it into the QA and get the following error. Any help?Error -2147217900

I have a application which uses the automatic asp.net membership stuff to make it work. (In app_data). It works fine on local host, but when I use it on the web server I get the error message (after clicking the log in button):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) Please help me fix this. Thank you for your help,Sam
(i am not sure which forum to post this too) Hi, I imported a table onto my host's server, table_Login which has username password, and userID. userID is Primary Key & identity. When I had my code do insert of new user, I was getting error the Login.userID doesn't allow null values. Which shouldn't have mattered because userID is an identity. After making a diagram from Enterprise Manager, I noticed that I have two Login tables (although only one shows in Enterprise Manager's "Table" node view. The second table, which had none of the constraints that my table of the same name which is listed under the "Table" node does; appears to be the table which is being written to by my code. I can't find this table, Login(dbo), through Enterprise Manager, nor am i sure how to access it through Query Analyzer. Needless to say, I don't like this arrangement. and well tech support for this host seems to leave a lot to be desired. Anyone know what needs to be done so that I can fix it or fight with tech support to convince them that they should?
Hi,after i exported my DataBase From my local computer to host, all tables and views have exported, but my tables Realations dosent exported and i have'not any realation in my database, i can't create new realation , when i want to do this i get an error:" You do not have sufficient privelege to create n new database diagram" What this mean??how i can export my database to my host whit my realations?plz help me i you can!thanks.
I have a web app and database created in sql server 2005 express. In addition to using the membership and role providers I have added custom tables and stored procedures to my db. When I try to export this with Sql Server Management Studio (not the express version) to my db on my shared host(sql server 2005) the custom tables and stored procedures are not transferred. How can this be accomplished? Thanks in advance.
I need help in generating a stored proc script (SQL Server 7.0)that will:
document the changes of each field in a dbase (SQL Server 7.0) appending the deltas (changes) to the dbase on a different, say production server for each affected field prompt the user (dba, developer, super user) for the fields to involve in the comparing and documenting of changes (deltas).
thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to host more than one site on the server that hosts reporting services?We have a web app that is accessed through intranet. This site is hosted (IIS)on the same server as the sql server 2005 database that is used as the backend. Is it possible to run reporting services from this same server? or does the reporting services default site require to be the only site hosted?
Hi, the title of this topic about summarises it. I have a dev-machine with SQL Server 2005 Standard edition on it. My host runs SQL Server 2000. What are my options? Is there some sort of backward compatibility? Can i export as 2000? I have no idea and i can't find anything about this particular problem. Thanks

I am just wondering what's the difference of sql server 2005 standard and enterprise editions. can I use SQL server 2005 to host a database for a website?
I have an ASP.NET application that runs under the development server. Before deploying to my host I wanted to test it under IIS. I set up a virtual directory under IIS, but when I try to open the home page I get an error Unable to open the physical file "E:CDiskLocalWebSitesDIWSchedulingApp_DataDIWDB.MDF". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".and a code dump showing that the code is breaking at the open connection. A little research on the error indicates that IIS does not have permission to execute the database operation. I can not find any information on how to give IIS this permission in SQL Server 2005 Express. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I installed SQL reporting services 2005 and successfully configured reporting services.After designing the report using Bussiness Intelligence Studio, i tried to deploy my reporting services application to the localhost , I got the below mentioned error :

I am trying to connect to a remote MSSQL database through a manager program called "SQL Manager Lite". The first thing that the wizard asks me is the "host name".
How do I find this host name? I just mention that I am trying to connect to a database on a shared hosting.
I need to change the NT Server computer name (and the SQL Server name). I know how to do it in NT, but how would I go about changing the SQL Server name. Can anyone help me with this? Is this an easy process?
We are going to install new SQL Server 2014 on Windows 2012 R2. There is a copy of this server which is running on SQL Server 2005. This one has old operating system and wont be able upgrade to SQL Server 2014.
After doing some checks on 2014 we would like to change this server-name with the old server-name which is running on 2005.how can we change the server-name?
I'm in the midst of planning how to build an NT box to host SQL 7.0 and was wondering if there is any advantage to segregating the RAID 5 Array (5 x 18GB drives) into numerous *logical* partitions to separate database and log files (I can't see what advantage there would be if the disks are all on the same array, but..)
If anyone has any pointers or links to recommended NT configurations for hosting SQL, I'd appreciate hearing them.
