Sorry if this seems to be very basic question. But after 5 hours I am thinking may be I am missing something.
I had always setup the dbs in server environment and I had never any issues but on my new Vaio Laptop with XP. Last time it was rather easy and I can not remember such issues. I downloaded (MSDE 2000) Release A from Microsoft and setting it up.
I set it up with the with the same parameters using an .ini file, I used Notepad to create a file named MyParameters.ini with these contents:
I find that my Visual studio is showing the instance at "Vaio/MSSQL" where Vaio is my Laptop. The setup created a folder in D:MSDEMSSQL$MSSQL and not in the target directory MSDE!!
Also my enterprise manager can not find it at all.
Also In visual studio I dont seem to be able to connect using my sa_password.
Hi. I am taking a certification class for which I recieved MSDE 2000 SQL server to use. I had a version that came with my textbook installed, and uninstalled it to use this one. Now I can no longer install either version, when I try it gives me a "instance name specified is not valid" error message when I start the installation, then kills it. Anyone have any ideas?
I am creating an install for our product and as part of the changes I am making, I want to upgrade a user's DB engine, if they are still using MSDE 1.0, to SQL Express 2005.
The upgrade path we have chosen is the following.....
MSDE 1.0 --> MSDE 1.0 sp4 --> SQL Express 2005
I believe this should work, yes? Anywho, I am trying to run a "passive" install of SQL Express and I am using the following parameter list:
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I just got finished developing the company intranet site and thinking that everything was working I boasted about how good it was by getting my boss to login and submit a new job to the db (new job, its a work management app) while i did the same, the pland was to hit the submit button at the same time. He would send one to be read by me and I would send one to be read by him. We both hit submit and the following happened.
The db has somehow fused the two into one. I thought maybe we were to accurate in hitting the submit button together. But I even gave a five second delay between and for some reason the job is being overriden by one user tor the other. In other words we are both sharing the same jobid. I thought this could never happen with sql server supposing that it would lock one request until another was completed and vice versa. But I'm so new to this that I'm just so naieve to think that the db would do this for you. Problem is I'm about to move on and I can't leave the app in this state. Can anyone point to some articles or give some suggestions has to my situation. Most desperately in need!!
i'm having touble getting my sp done. the problem is as follow..i've found an sp tokenize (which works fine) with the following signature:
CREATE PROCEDURE TOKENIZE ( S VARCHAR(10000), DELIM CHAR(1)) RETURNS ( ID INTEGER, TKN VARCHAR(10000)) AS DECLARE VARIABLE I INTEGER; DECLARE VARIABLE LEN INTEGER; DECLARE VARIABLE FIRSTCHAR CHAR(1); DECLARE VARIABLE S2 VARCHAR(10000); begin ... SUSPEND; end^
then i build myself another sp (which also works fine) with this signature:
CREATE PROCEDURE GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT ( ASDSKRPTINPUT VARCHAR(15)) RETURNS ( ID BIGINT) AS begin ... suspend;
end^
now, what i'm trying to do is write another sp (get_dicentries_by_all_asdskrpts) that accepts a '.'-tokenized string as a parameter (e.g. 'bla.bli.blo.blu'; number of tokens NOT fixed at 4!) and returns the intersection of
GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('bla'), GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('bli'), GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('blo') AND GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('blu')
Could someone help me get the following SQL statement working?SELECTstandardgame.gamename,standardgame.rowteamname,standardgame.colteamname,standardgame.dollarvalue,standardgame.gameid,standardgame.cutoffdatetime,standardgame.gametype,standardgame.gameowner,(100-COUNT(purchasedsquares.gameid)) AS squaresremainingFROM standardgameLEFT OUTER JOINpurchasedsquares ON standardgame.gameid = purchasedsquares.gameidwhere gametype='$gametype' and dollarvalue = '$dollarvalue' andgameowner = 'GROUP BY standardgame.gameidorder byCASE squaresremaining WHEN 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ASC,squaresremaining ASCThe problem is... MySQL doesn't seem to want to let me usesquaresremaining in that case statement since it's not an officialcolumn name. Any idea how I can reference squaresremaining in the casestatement?

Using Vs2005 sqlServer 2005 When i try to connect i get this error: 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) Connection string: <connectionStrings> <add name="pubsConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=pubs;User=mk;pw=x" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> Calling code : try { using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString)) { cn.Open(); } } catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex.Message); }
I have a table adapter query with a like clause that I can't get to work. The field is "Type", so I have "LIKE '%@Type%'". When I click the Execute Query button to test, not only does nothing get returned, I don't get the chance to enter the parameter. If I change LIKE '%@Type%' to say, LIKE '%book%', the appropriate records are returned. I actually need to check two parameters. If I ad the second parameter, the where clause becomes(Type LIKE '%@Type%') AND (SendState = @SendState)When I test the query, a screen pops up to let me enter the state, but not the Type. I can't see anything wrong with the query, but something must be. Diane
I am having a most frustrating time getting this working. I have two machines, one named 'REMOTE' and it contains my SQL Server (2005 developer edition). Then I have my main PC, named 'DOUGAL' The server instance on the REMOTE computer is called 'SQLSERVER' and there is only one instance. The server is showing as running etc and I can log in locally on the REMOTE computer easily via the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio etc. I have two logins that are working fine, sa and a login called 'db_user'.Now I am trying to connect in the server explorer in visual studio. When I try and connection i get the following error; An Error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong to SQL Server 2005 this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (provder: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Count not open connection to SQL Server). I have tried connection to 'REMOTE/SQLSERVER' 'REMOTE' and with its IP address to - without any luck. So, to fix this problem I have checked that remote connections are allowed (and restarted the system). I have also checked that named pipes and tcp/ip connections are enabled. I have searched around with the aid of my best friend, Google. However, I've only found suggestions that involve trying the fixes I already tried.
Ok, what I am tryin to do is quite simple i do believe. Basically I have an aspx page with a textbox, a button and a datagrid linked to my sql db. What I am wanting is for a user to enter in their Social Security Number in the text box and click the button. If the SSN matches a record in the DB then it binds to the datagrid and shows it, IF no match is found then it displays a link to click on to continue onto the next page. This is to stop duplicate entries. I can get one to work by itself but not both of them at the same time. Here is my code.<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %><script language="VB" runat="server"> Sub btnSearch_OnClick(sender as Object, e as EventArgs) Dim objConnection As SqlConnection Dim objCommand As SqlCommand Dim objAdapter As SqlDataAdapter Dim objDataSet As DataSet Dim strSearch As String Dim strSQLQuery As String ' Get Search strSearch = txtSearch.Text ' If there's nothing to search for then don't search ' o/w build our SQL Query and execute it. If Len(Trim(strSearch)) > 0 Then OK, Here is my first IF, this works. ' Set up our connection. objConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=BRADBLACKBUR-PCMSSMLBIZ;" _ & "Initial Catalog=Victorypoint;Integrated Security=True;") ' Set up our SQL query text. strSQLQuery = "SELECT FirstName, LastName, SSN " _ & "FROM Applicants " _ & "WHERE SSN LIKE '%" & Replace(strSearch, "'", "''") & "%' " _ & "ORDER BY SSN;" ' Create new command object passing it our SQL query ' and telling it which connection to use. objCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQLQuery, objConnection) ' Get a DataSet to bind the DataGrid to objAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(objCommand) objDataSet = New DataSet() objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet) If objDataSet.Tables.Count < 1 Then Right here is where I am having the problem, I need to count the Rows not the Tables, but I dont know what code i should use here. Button1.Visible = True Else ' DataBind DG to DS dgSearch.DataSource = objDataSet dgSearch.DataBind() objConnection.Close() End If End If End Sub
I've tried to post this somewhere else, but I haven't gotten it figured out yet: I'm passing variables through a URL, and the page that accepts the variables has a where clause like this:"WHERE (name1 LIKE @name1 + '%') and (property_add like @property_add + '%') and (ctlmap = @ctlmap )"On the search page where the variables are entered, the user may not know all the information that goes into each input field. (If the user just knew the name, they would search by name. If the user just knew the address, they would search by address...etc.) Everything works great before I add the ctlmap variable. When the ctlmap variable is added, no search results will turn up unless there is an entry made to the ctlmap field. I know it has to have something to do with the ctlmap being set to equals rather than like, but I can't find a way to make the search work with a null value for ctlmap. Thanks, everyone. Additional Info: <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="False" Name="name1" QueryStringField="name" Type="String" /> <asp:QueryStringParameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="False" Name="property_add" QueryStringField="address" /> <asp:QueryStringParameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="False" Name="ctlmap" QueryStringField="ctlmap" /> </SelectParameters> Here's another type of where clause that I tried but had no luck with: WHERE (name1 LIKE @name1 + '%') and (property_add like @property_add + '%') and (@ctlmap IS NULL or @ctlmap = ctlmap) This is how I would try to do it in php/mysql, but I don't know how to make it work in asp.net/sql: if ($ctlmap != "") { $whereClause = $whereClause." and ctlmp = '".strtoupper($ctlmap)."' "; } if ($whereClause != "") { $whereClause = " where ".$whereClause; }Here's the MYSQL counterpart:$sqlString = "Select distinct district, map, bill_group, ctlmap, bill_parcel, propertyid, special, property_add, name1 from MUR_bill_master".$whereClause";
I am having difficulty connecting to a SQL DB in my ASP page. Each time I run my application I receive the following error, "Login failed for user 'CX259ASPNET'". This is obviously something to do with permissions. I am all out of ideas but I will list the things I have already attempted to see if I either missed something or somebody can add to what I have already done.
1. In SQL Server I right-clicked the db -> properties -> security tab -> selected the option button to "SQL Server and Windows" instead of "Windows Only". 2. I installed SP3 and changed the sa password. 3. I created a new user under my db using the ASPNET account listed. I then changed the permissions to allow selecting, update, insert and delete access. 4. I also created a new user under my db using the IUSR account listed. I changed the permissions to the same settings as above.
I did a search on google which provided with all of the information above, but I am still stuck and hoping that this is a common problem and will be easy to fix.
Below is the code which I am attempting to use.
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load If Not Page.IsPostBack Then Dim strConnString As String = _ "Data Source=(local);" & _ "Initial Catalog=Names;" & _ "Integrated Security=SSPI;" Dim objConn As New SqlConnection(strConnString) Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM [Names]" Dim objCmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConn)
objConn.Open() MyDataGrid.DataSource = objCmd.ExecuteReader MyDataGrid.DataBind() objConn.Close() End If End Sub
What i am trying to do is concatenate variable "@Where" with CURSOR sql statement,inside a procedure . But, it doesn't seem to get the value for the @Where. (I tried with DEBUGGING option of Query Analyzer also).
============================================= SET @Where = '' if IsNull(@Input1,NULL) <> NULL Set @Where = @Where + " AND studentid='" + @input1 +"'"
if isnull(@Input2,NULL) <> NULL Set @Where = @Where + " AND teacherid =' " + @Input2 +"'"
DECLARE curs1 CURSOR SCROLL FOR SELECT * FROM school WHERE school ='ABC' + @where =============================================
It gives me all the Records inside the SCHOOL='ABC' ...
Please check my SQL Above and Could somebody tell me , how can I attach the VARIABLE with CURSOR sql statement ?

Hello, I've got some trouble when using xp_readmail.I check the email count and saved the attached files in c:winnt. The problem is when the attached files are saved cause the file name is cut in dos format (8 characters + . + 3 characters) but my file's name is like toto.tutu.titi_tata.txt so is there a way to keep the name unchanged when saving attached files ? Thanks for your answers
I've been having this huge problem with date and SQL 7, like lot of people. I use asp with the sql and trying to do this query where startdate should equal or smaller the date today, here are to queries that worked, but not anymore.
SELECT * FROM tbl_date WHERE convert(varchar(10), startdate, 101) = convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 101)
this query worked until the year 2000, the normal y2k bug then this one, wich i saw here on messageboard:
select * from tbl_date where startdate =< '" & date & "'" well this worked until today, when it just stop working
Server A is Publisher/Distributor SQL7 Server B is Subscriber SQL7
Successfully set up a publication for table on Server A
Synchronisation fails with error that 'The network name cannot be found' and the following file could not be created: The last action is 'Server AC$MSSQLRepldataunc<pub name><date string>ablename.sch'
... which is odd because the file IS created and contains a correct looking table definition.
So, manually sync data on this one table and try again, now it can't connect with my server, which is weird cos I can connect through EM.
IF @email = (SELECT email FROM customers WHERE @email = email) PRINT 'This customer is already in the database' ELSE PRINT 'New Customer Added' INSERT INTO customers VALUES (@fname,@lname, @companyName, @address, @zip, @city, @country, @email)
Looks pretty straightfoward, however when I add a duplicate customer, I get the 'This customer is already in the database' message and then the record is added. I don't know why this is happening. Can anyone help?
I am attempting to port a database from one server to another, I am using the DTS wizard to so this, the Db copies over to the other server but it drops the views, usernames, stored procs etc. Is there another way to do this? possibly with T-SQL? Any suggestions would be great.
I have a cube with a lot of dimensions. Two of them are ItemNo and LocationCode. I need to have two measures "Locations Shipped To" and "Item Count". For those, I need to have a count of different locations/items matching current dimension filters. So I tried adding a calculated member:

Here is what I have. Windows 2000 server, Sql server 2000 standard, Solomon 5.5
I have a view that is used by crystal reports. We had a company come in and they designed a custom report. The view uses three other views. The report works perfectly until two people try to run the report at the same time. This is when four of the columns in the report double the values.
We ran the report for a year or two with no problem. Now that we are starting to use Solomon Desktop for people out in the field we are finding this problem.
Is there a way that the view can be setup not to cause this problem?
