Yesterday, at 7 am, I was able to connect to remote databases from Enterprise Manager. Then at 11 am, I started getting "General Network Error" and connections failed. This happened on all my remote databases, so the problem is not the remote server. (I did check.) I have Comcast Broadband cable access to the internet. I can still access the internet, email, and ftp servers, just not the sql port. I rebooted my entire system several times. Today, I took my computer to a friend's house, and was able to successfully connect to the remote databases fom Enterprise Manager, so the problem is not on my computer. (I did check for the sql worm, and downloaded the McAfee Fix program, but it didn't find anything, and confirmed that the Service Pack 3 fixes were in place.)
I also tried connecting directly to my cable modem, but that did not work, so it doesn't seem to be my router or firewall. I contacted Comcast and they are not blocking port 1433. I don't know what else to try. I don't think the problem is on my computer or the software.
i am trying to connect to sql server remotely with native client. tcp/ip and named pipes are enabled on both sides. there is no firewall between client and server. surface config on server allows remote connections. i have been working on this for a week. i am new to sql server 2005 dont know where to go from here. thanks in advance
i have installed sql server 2005 standard on our server. i need to now connect to the server from a client machine within our network. do i need to install just the client tools? what are the other steps in connecting? im new to sql server, so thanks for the help.
Ok guys, I do a regular daily ntbackup of my entire server. I thought I had sql backups going daily but I think a admin password change stopped that and well those backups are a LONG time ago. The ntbackup is just 1 lost half day.
Windows crashed and had to be reinstalled, so I have all the files in the database folder and what I've done so far was reinstall windows, sql, and all that stuff so now windows is back up and going. I used sql admin and created the database ncdsm. Then I took the folder from the backup of the database for ncdsm and copied it to the new sql install (after stopping the service) and then turned it back on, and it shows that the tables do not exist, but it shows the list of tables in red.
How can I fix this and get all my databases back to normal? Thanks.
I am an application developer with an existing system developer in SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2005.
I have installed the system I wrote at a physician's office, and it is working fine on a local computer utilizing XP operating system.
There is a requirement to allow other terminals to connect to this XP terminal to execute the application, so I am exploring possibilities for connecting remotely from the other computers in the physician's office.
I am running Virtual Machine for my client computer.
I modified SQL Server 2005 on my main computer. I enabled both TCP/IP and Named pipes in the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration utility. I also set SQL Server Browser to start automatically.
The local application is successfully connecting with the following connectionstring: Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=MedicalDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=thepassword
I realize that I would have to substitute the server name for localhost before I could connect from the application, but I wanted to first "connect" to the database from my second machine successfully before I began trying to connect from my application. I can Ping the pc that is running sql server express, I am able to "telnet" my pc that is running SQL Server Express.
Both my computers are in the same workgroup and there is no domain.
There are no aliases in my configuration, and there is no encryption on the server.
Ther error message I recieve is:
Cannot connect to DDD
An error has occurred while attempting connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (providor: Named Pipes Providor, Error: 40 Could not open a conneciton to Sql Server) (Microsofi SQL Server, Error: 1326)
What do you do when the database actually, physically exists, intact, but is not recognized by SQL Server 7 and there is no backup?
On a newly installed system, I created a new database and imported tables from another system. I also disbled SQL Server 7 services, rebooted and file-copied into the directory another database, that was not on a current SQL Server system, then restarted SQL Server.
SQL Server 7 failed to recognize any of the databases - master, model, etc., as well as the user databases. Neither database was specifically detached - allegedly a requirement for using sp_attach_db. No backups had been done - I was still setting up(?).
I know that there must be a way to reload, reattach or recreate a database when the database actually exists. In this case, we also lost master, etc., which may change the situation. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have a test server where I was experiencing security/rights anomalies. I tried disabling the BUILTINAdministrators account, closed SEM, and when I reopened it, I could not access my Server (all databases,etc.are on local machine). I thought I could just use the SQL accounts (sa, etc.) to connect, but they all fail?? I tried creating a new registration, and that didn't work either. Since I deleted the old registration, and I cannot reconnect, what are my options(short of restoring image)? If I re-install SQL will all my databases still be there? Is there another way to get access back?? Any help would be appreciated.
I have Outlook 2007 w/BCM running on XP Pro workstation connecting to a SBS 2003 R2 hosting my SQL 2005 database. I have two problems: First I can get the BCM to connect to the remote data but periodically the connection is lost and many times it requires a reboot to reconnect. Secondly related to teh first, I can never get MS Accounting 2007 to connect to the same server and database from my client.
I have already set up the server to use port 5356 via TCP amd added a hole through my client windows firewall for the same port. Both client and server are set to share files and printers.
hai, I am working on ASP.NET 2003 with SQLServer2000. My application requires to be connected to the Database which is there in my Headoffice. My SQLServerName is "MyDBServerTestDB" Database Name is "WebTO", UserID="******" and Password="******" My Remote Server IP Address is "192.168.1.2" and its Static IP is "58.93.61.235" I have specified the Connection string for my Remote Server as "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO" (or) "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB,1433;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO" (1433 is the Port number of the Remote SQLServer) but it is giving the error " SQL Server does not exist or access denied". if i execute the same application at my Headoffice (Remote Server) by changing the Connection string as "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=192.168.1.2TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO" then, it is working fine. Can anyone tell me where i went wrong or what i have to specify in my Connection string so that i can access my Remote Database Server. Thanks in Advance, Srinivas.
We are in web site development company,Previously we don't have proxy configuration, after implementing Proxy , we have an issue to connect a remote database.
The error pops "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. Error 53".
I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!
Hello,This is my first post, and i am looking for help about Databases in remote servers.This is my problem:1) I have a free account in "HostBasket", with 50 mb of space, and 10 mb of SQL Server... with ASP.NET 2 support --> http://www.hostbasket.com/dotnet2.shtml?LinkFrom=100602) They gave me this info for the database:Your SQL Server: sql15.hostbasket.comYour database name: myDatabaseNameYour login for the database: myLoginYour password for the database: myPasswordConnection string for ASP.NET (using ADO.NET with System.Data.SqlClient namespace):Persist Security Info=True;User ID=myLogin;Password=myPassword;Initial Catalog=MyDatabaseName;Data Source=sql15.hostbasket.com 3) Actually, i don't know what to do with that info... I mean, i have read so much info, and all people saying "their way" to do things... oh, I am so confused...4) I read in a website, this: "the database can be uploaded as a FILE saved in the App_Data folder, under the .mdf extension"I read that from : http://dotnetjunkies.com/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx5) In the url given above, there is a "step by step" example... i follow it, exactly (i start a asp.net website, i create the database and the table, i show the data with the grids, etc )6) All is OK until here, i mean, when i run the website with VWD, it shows me the info OK.7) But... ¿How can i do this works on the Remote Server i described in 1) and 2) ?I know how to upload my website, in fact i uploaded a very basic one, and all was OK, but when i work with databases starts my problem...So, i am almost sure, that i have an error in the "Conecction String"... connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MiBaseDeDatos.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" ¿How should it be, to work with my free remote server?or,if you have done the "easy way" of uploading the .MDF file in the server (but a server different of mine) please, tell me the "how to..." (and the server you used :p )--------------------Ok guys, i am a Chilean young (i dont speak english very well) and i tried to write my ideas in an easy way, so I REALLY HOPE you can help me.I am a New (very new) on this (vwd , .net , asp.net ) in fact, i am using this just 3 days ago...THANK YOU SO MUCH,Carlos,La Serena, Chile.
I'm currently trying to figure out a good way to keep my Local and Remote Databases in sync. Whenever I make changes to one or the other I spend a lot of time manually adjusting the other to match. I want to be able to set up an update page that accesses my Remote database and Local database and Updates the two accordingly.
I really don't know where to start with this one. I'm not sure at all as to how to simultaneously connect to two different databases, on two different servers, and Udate from one another. Does anyone know any good articles to get me started?
Hiya! I'm developing an app. using SQL Server 7 (as the back end) for a company supporting approx. 200 unrelated clients, all in different locations. There is no LAN or WAN connection between them, so we'd probably need to use TCP/IP. The problem is as follows: We have dynamic reports in our app. which are run based on data in two tables. Whenever we add a new report we'd like to send it to all of our clients i.e. update their tables to reflect the additional rows of new report info. How would this best be handled, by DTS or Replication or BCP? And how could it be done with either?
I just got hosted on a site which supports .Net, and my forms seem to be coming up okay. I have a database residing on my computer that accompanies the pages I have written.
I was told that I need to export my database to their site, and I have an ip address to use. Can anyone tell me how I would go about with this export ?
I have SQL Server running on our web server located at a managed hosting site at Rackspace. I've got some developers who are going to be editing various sites and will need access to specific databases. Is there something built in to MSSQL, or a third party app, which will allow for this kind of remote access? They will be doing everything from restructuring these DB's to just inputting data.
I need to know which are the best ways to connect to a remote SQL SERVER 2000 from inside a VB6 application. By remote I mean on a dedicated server outside my LAN that I can access by IP address.
Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
We connect to the remote database servers through the network from loca by using Query Analyzer. Previously we were able to execute the xp_cmdshell command from local Query Analyzer to fetch the remote databases data. But now we are unable to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local Query Analyzer We do not know what happened but i think due to network updates this command is not able to execute...
For ex: Previously i was able to execute master..xp_cmdshell 'net start' from local Query Analyzer.But now not able to execute
Now my question is, is there any other way(Directly or indirectly) to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local?
Note : we are able to execute this command on remote Query Analyzer but not from local QA
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
Fellow Devs, I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there some other configuration?
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I am responsible for an application that uses the Borland Database Engine to connect clients to the database server - it's called SalesLogix. I am in the process of upgrading the databases in the working environment to SQL 7 from SQL 6.5 and on the whole it has been (relatively) successful, however I have a majorly inconvenient issue with a few client machines. Occasionally, after upgrading the SQL client and having upgraded the database server I cannot make a connection any longer and instead when I try through the BDE I am presented with the message 'General SQL Error' and the BDE error code for a general SQL error, and nothing more. It has only happened on a couple of machines, but with no apparent pattern. The clients can still connect to SQL 6.5 databases as long as the SQL 6.5 client utilities are still installed so I don't know what to think. Any ideas?
We are trying to setup a role based security access within our client software so that users have read only access to the database. Right now we are not able to connect to the database. This is a blocking issue for us on the project right now
Is it possible to approach a MS SQL Server using TCP/IP? I have lookedeverywhere but have not found any documentation about the protocol toconnect to MS SQL Server.I wish to connect to MS SQL Server directly through TCP/IP, without using MSlibraries (since i am not doing this on a windows system).Thanks in advance,Eddie Gieze
I am building a C# Windows app. I have a form and have also create a db. I tested the db connectivity in Server Explorer and the test came back successfully. According to my manual, I just need to drag the db item from the server explorer to my form designer to creation the connection. When I do this nothing happens... what am I doing wrong?
If I do the same thing in VS2003 the sqlConnection1 shows up, how do I accomplish the same thing with 2005?
