MDAC 2.6
Feb 25, 2002We are in the process to upgrading from SQL 7.0 SP1 on a NT 4 EE sp6a active/passive cluster to a SQL 2K SP2 on the same NT 4 EE sp6a active/passive (single instance I think it is called now) cluster.
My question now is about MDAC.
Do I need to upgrade all my clients (W98 SE) that actually have MDAC 2.5 installed to the 2.6 version of the product?
Is there any MS articles that clearly explain this argument?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards.

MDAC
Apr 6, 2001Ive got a question on MDAC and SQL 2000.
We have a SQL Server 7.0 running on NT 4.0 with MDAC 2.1 installed.
We also have a SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000 with MDAC 2.6 installed, as well as other instances of 7.0 and 2000.
I am trying to setup Push replication from the box with SQL 7.0 and MDAC 2.1 installed to a 2000 server with MDAC 2.6.
A SQL 7 to 2000 push works if an instance of 7 and 2000 are installed on the same machine. I can push to any remote machine, except for the one server with MDAC 2.1 installed.
Could MDAC be my problem?
Thanks,
Kyle
Old MDAC Changes, 2.1 - 2.5
Jun 8, 2007We have a large project that is importing msado21.tlb. We want to import least msado25.tlb to access the ADODB::_Stream object, but are unsure what exactly this entails. I've noticed no problems testing that change, but I cannot find any changelog for the MDAC upgrade. Is anyone aware of, or can point me to, a list of changes (fixes, modifications, caveats, etc) between MDAC 2.1 and MDAC 2.5? The binary msado file is always much newer, of course, but we want to link with the older type libraries to maintain maximum compatibility.
Any help is appreciated, I'm at a dead end!

SQL7 SP MDAC
Sep 17, 2000Hi folks. Got a real doozy going. One of the network techs reinstalled NT4 SP5 on a server. This reverted the SQL driver back to 2.something. Now sqlserveragent jobs will not run.
I have tried to instal MDAC 2.5, but it doesn't change the driver up to the new 3.xxx driver. I searched around on here and folks said that you have to move the MDAC executable to a new directory. for the new MDAC I don't see MDAC.EXE. I did find MDAC.COM and renamed that. Tried to rerun MDAC 2.5 but still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Uninstalled SQLServer and reinstalled. still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Tried to apply SQLServer SP1. It died.
Found that I am to shutdown some services. Did that. SP1 still dies.
Tried to apply SQLSERVER SP2. It tries to pick up where it died and it dies again.
SO, I'm currently uninstalling SQLServer, reboot, installing SQLServer, reboot, Trying SP2 again.
Didn't think that it was brain surgery just to install a new flippin version of the ODBC driver.. SHEEZ!!!!
MDAC Version For SQL 7 Sp2
Dec 18, 2000I'm in a mild-debate with some colleagues of mine.
Can someone shed some light on this for me.
(This is related to a problem we are having with empty recordsets being returned where we know there should be rows returned. I think it could be caused by incorrect/outdated MDAC components.)
We use SQL 7 sp2, and ado DSN'less connection strings.
Slooowww After MDAC 2.6
Dec 10, 2001MSSQL .7.0 SP2
WIN2KPRO
ATI 32mb video
1.3gh AMD
1g Ram
No other apps are affected....my once fast system is slowed to a crawl. 5+gb
free on C 37gb on E and NO apps loaded in systray. NO background processes,
nunca.
I installed MDAC 2.6 on a system to try to correct an OLE error when using
sp_OACreate that causes an ODBC connection broken and shuts down SQL every
other execution.
***** Now, the system is running slow, I tried reinstalling, moving the data
to a single local drive. (No other apps appear to be slowed)
Uninstalled MDAC 2.6 and reverted to 2.5 still slow.
Reinstalling MSSQL 7 and SP2, and MDAC 2.5 still slow...
As an example, when a simple xp_cmdShell 'dir c:mssql7data*data.mdf' the
resulting 10 lines are slowing typed accross the screen. On most systems
the text is refreshed so fast we only see a flicker.
Cleaning the registry still slow... Profiler shows DML and GHost lines that
appear to suck the life out my system, but its only pegged at 2%, like it's
doing something, but what(?)
Tonight I may have to reformat and reload, however I've seen this before and
would really like a clue.

MDAC 2.6 SP1 Not Installing Properly
May 22, 2002I installed MDAC 2.6 SP1 on my 2000 machine in order to get SQL server 7.0 to work properly on my machine. I'm trying to get installed on server which is on NT 4.0 SP6 so that when I save a DTS package on my 2000 machine and run it on the server it doesn't get the error client access ODBC driver not capable. I intalled MDAC 2.6 SP1 on the server but it doesn't look like its updating it. The install goes fine. I reboot but when I go into the ODBC connections and look at the driver for the client acceess it still has version 6.00.00.05 while my 2000 machine says 6.00.07.00
Any ideas on why its not updating. Can I just take the DWBODBC.DLL from my machine and copy it to the server?

MDAC. 2.6 Client Problems?
Dec 19, 2000Hi,
I have a SQL 7 Server running SP2/MDAC 2.5. One of my techs accidentally loaded mdac 2.6 on a machine and it no longer could establish ODBC connections to my SQL server. I used the CC check utility to roll it back, but was wondering why the 2.6 client could no longer attach to my server. In the past I have had 2.1 on my server with 2.5 clients that connected with very few problems. At least not a major one like a failing ODBC connection. Do I need to upgrade my server to 2.6 before my clients?
Downgrading MDAC On An XP Machine

MDAC 2.8 And Cursor FETCH NEXT
Jan 15, 2004it seems that starting with MDAC 2.8 the FETCH NEXT statement for cursors requires an INTO clause. otherwise an unspecified error is returned.
so it's not possible to scroll through the records anymore without storing the values of the fields into local variables?
MDAC 2.8 Install - Any Issues?
Mar 2, 2004Hi all,
About to start a project to upgrade to MDAC 2.8 from MDAC 2.6 on a number of servers. Has anyone encountered any issues with this? Also, if we do NOT upgrade several client workstations, might we expect problems as a result?
We are aware that we need to patch MDAC for the vulnerability issues, but we are trying to comine this with a server upgrade for servers at risk. Has anyone had experience on a similar project?
Cheers,
Dun
ADO Interop Using MDAC 2.8 On Vista
Nov 30, 2006I am trying to load a project under VS2005 under Windows Vista that references an ADOX wrapper that is looking for version 2.8.0.0. The reference fails because the library is not registered.
I thought maybe installing MDAC 2.8 would solve my problems, but when I run the installer for that, it briefly puts up a dialog that it is extracting files, then it disappears.
Any ideas?

MDAC Optional ODBC Upgrade In NT And SQL FP #5 And 5a
Feb 3, 1999This question relates to the optional installation component MDAC which upgrades the version of the ODBC driver you use.
Microsoft has indicated that any ODBC driver BELOW 2.5 has not been tested and is not year 2000 compliant. Anything between 2.5 and 3.0 they are testing and is not certified. 3.0 and above is compliant.
However, the NT 4.0 Fix pack #4 installs version 3.60.0319 and the SQL server Fix pack 5 and 5a install 3.70. something.
Most of my Production servers and clients have 2.65. something.
How are people handling this issue to ensure year 2000 compliance?
We already have one vendor's software who is warning us NOT to install this component because their software will not work.
I would like to use the most current version possible.
Any input would be appreciated........Craig
Determining MDAC And Service Pack
May 14, 2004I am new to MS SQL 2000 and have a couple of questions. First, how do you check the version of MDAC that Windows 2003 server is running and second, how do you determine what service pack that SQL is at.
I am having issues of extreme slowness using ODBC. I checked to see that tracing was not enabled and found that it wasn't. I am using TCP/IP for the connection.
Thanks

MDAC Problem With SQLServer 2005?
Feb 3, 2008I am running SQLServer 2005 on Windows XP sp2.
I can't build a data connection in BIDS (error 80040154), and I checked the internet for possible solutions.
I downloaded Microsoft Component Checker and it informed me that I had a mismatch with MDAC 2.8 SP1 and XP SP2.
Specifically SQLOLEDB.dll (expected 2000.85.1117.0) and MSXML3.dll (expected 8.50.2162.0) and SQLXMLX.rll (expected 2000.85.1117.0) seem to be mismatched.
There are all kinds of instructions on the web for various fixes, and I am not certain what is current.
What do I need to load/uninstall in order to fix this problem?
Thanks very much...Marv
MDAC Update Caused Access Problems
May 2, 2006I just updated MDAC on one of my machines and I'm now having trouble accessing my SQL server. It's a local connection using SQLOLEDB in a VB dll. It was working fine before the update and now I get:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
/cms25/CMS.asp, line 33
Most of the information I can find on this refers to TCP/IP connections but the SQL server is local. My connect function looks like this:
Public Sub ADOConnect()
With m_ADOConnection
.Provider = "SQLOLEDB"
.CursorLocation = adOpenStatic
.CommandTimeout = 20
.Mode = adModeReadWrite
.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & m_strServer & ";Database=" & m_strName & ";" & m_strUsernamePassword
.open
End With
End Sub
On this server, m_strServer = "(local)". What am I missing? Thanks for any help in advance!
