Several months ago I installed what I thought was an unlimited license of MSSQL Database Server 2000. This weekend the database expired. What can I do? I don't want to lose the data. If I attempt to reinstall the software, will that work? We are in the process in purchasing the software but not for a few months. The database is used to store and retrieve data in our OutStart server. Any idea is helpful.
I was expecting a warning but I turned on my computer and discovered that MSSQL Server 2000 eval. has expired. At this time, and in the foreseeable future, I cannot afford a retail version. But I would like to upgrade to MSSQL Server 2005 Express.
We have a Prinicipal, a Mirror and a Witness server. We have automatic failover configured between the Prinicipal and Mirrored server. When we stop MMSQL service on Prinicipal, not all the databases failover to the Mirrored instance. Any suggestions would be welcomed as we have a tight deadline to get this in Production.

Has anyone had a problem transfering a database to a server. This is the first time I have done this. I have a site and sqldatabase hosted by a hosting company and I am supposed to transfer my database This is what I'm doing
From the Start Menu, select "Programs" -> "Microsoft SQL Server" -> "Import and Export Data" then click "Next". In the "Server" field, type in the Name or IP of the source server (your server), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your username and password, choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next". Note: You can also use Windows Authentication if the SQL server is a local server. In the "Server" field, type in the hostname of the DiscountASP SQL Server (this is listed in your hosting control panel), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your DiscountASP database username and password (this was sent in your database order confirmation email), choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next". Choose "Copy objects…", click "Next". Uncheck Use Default Option. Click Options, uncheck "Copy Database users and database roles", "Copy SQL Server logins", "Copy object-level Permissions". Leave next window as is, click "Next". Click "Finish".

I'm running 2000 databases in a 2005 server. Can anyone tell me if there are adverse effects in doing this? As I understand it, the 2005 performance benefits are available to databases running as 2000(Ver80) But some of the new futures may not be available.. And any documentation from Microsoft/white papapers regarding this subjects are appreciated..
Hi, When I am trying to query a table which has got lakhs of records,it said, Error:Timeout Expired . Timeout Expired prior to completion of operation or server is not responding.Can anybody help me out
We have two Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 servers that sit outside our firewall that connect to a SQL 2000 cluster behind our firewall. We continually are recieving Timeout expired messages on the two windows servers that sit outside but no error messages on the SQL side. The messages happen at the exact same time on both web servers wich tells me that it is either the firewall that is having the problem or the SQL server. I had our Networking group run a trace and they see the packets going through the firewall and it looks like the SQL server is sending TCP resets. The web servers are using OLE DB for SQL server to connect, we are at MDAC 2.7 on both the web servers and the SQL server. There is just no ryme or reason to this. Any ideas?
Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
Hi all I've a page which shows data (25-30 entries) that are retrieved by an SqlDataSource. The query is very simple since i don't have to join any table.unfortunately sometimes I get the following error message. It's strange, since the page often works fine but the error occurs a couple of times per day.Who has an idea of how I could solve this problem?
I am currently work on mssql 6.5. On my workstation, I have mssql 6.5 cient software.
However, I would like to install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation and work with it to become familiar with 7.0. Can I install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation? Can mssql 6.5 client coexist with mssql 7.0 on the same machine if they are in different directories?
Basically due to a client spec, I had to create 115 datasets (one for each of my 115 tables).
After I created the 111th, I am getting the following error:
A connection cannot be made to the database. Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.
How do I clear the pooled connections or increase the max pool size?
I suppose what happened is each time I create a dataset it opens a connection to the database and these connections aren't being terminated...
I have SQL Server 2000 with SP4. When we take backup from Enterprise manager its fails with error "timeout expired". But when we take backup from query analyzer it works.
It seems that through enterprise manager 30 sec is the non configurable timeout parameter set. Checked sysprocesses table during backup but there was no blocking during that time at least for that spid.
Is there a way to find out which process is blocking the database backup? Also, what are the possible scenarios where database backup can be blocked.
While attempting to set up sql replication in MSSQL 2005 one of my user databases is now in the systems database folder. I need to move it back to the user databases folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to ms SQL. I only have the use of the Enterprise Manager. Creating tables I understand. However I am confused on how to add data to a table or view the data in a table. Can this be done through Enterprise Manager? If I am adding a large amount of data do I have to use the query window. This seems like a tedious method. In Access yo have a form basically pop up where you can type in the record sets. Any advice would be appreciated! Sincerely, Bill Bequette
Hi Actually i have developed an Web application(intranet) and I put it on IIS which will be using it more than 5 persons at a time. In that application there is a page which will interact more to Database(SQL server 2005). Problem is when persons working on that page some times it throws an error message like "Timeout expired. the timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding". I think it is because of SQL server but i don't find exactly. Plz tell me what is problem and how to solve it.
Would any body be able to suggest the best way switch a Lotus .nsf file to Ms SQL database or even to an Access?
I have a .nsh file that I am able to see the contents of but not the database structure, and rather then rebuilding the database and manually inserting the content I would like to import all the information from an old .nsf file that appears to have restriction on it.
Today my SQL Server Express suddenly stopped working. After a few hours troubleshooting I finaly found something in the Event Viewer/Application Errors: SQL Server evaluation period has expired...Isn´t the express edition supposed to be free?.
By the way: Windows did 27 automatic updates just before this happened. Might have something to do with it.
Is there a easy way to deal with this or do I have to reinstall and just hoping that I can restore my database?
Hi I am using .net 2005 and SQL server express edition. When I am running the application for the 1st time it gives Timeout expired.

SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I dread this error because I usually don't understand what it means. I am using the Evaluation Version and I think it may have expired. Is this the error I would get? Also, If I buy it, will I be able to get my work back, because I cant even access it from Enterprise Manager. Thanks!!
I am using SQL Server 7.0 Desktop Edition on Windows NT 4.0 workstation with service pack 6. I'm connecting to my production servers using the Enterprise Manager.A couple of months back, I have installed SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition on my desktop and using it to access the production servers.A couple of days back, I was not able to connect to the Query Analyzer either through Enterprise Manager or directly. I am getting the following error:
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired. All our production servers are in a data center. I'm able to connect to the production servers in one particular cage but it is giving the above error if I try to connect to other servers which are in different cages. My colleague is able to connect to all the servers through Query Analyzer from his machine which has only SQL Server 7.0.I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 on his suggestion but it is giving the same error. I uninstalled and installed SQL Server 7.0 but I'm still getting the same problem. Could you please throw some light on why this is happening ?
I am trying to populate a View. I can run the sql code successfully by using SQL Query Analyzer. However, When I try to open the View in SQL Enterprise Manager and request that all rows be returned, I receive the following error:
ODBC SQL Server Driver Timeout Expired
I cannot determine the cause, Can anyone help me determine why the message is occurring? Thank you.
Hi,Has anyone ever had trouble using the query analyzer tool through a vpnclient? I'm able to connect outside of work to a sqlserver db on mycompany lan with enterprise mgr, but the query analyzer times out everytime I try to connect from outside of work. Both utilities work fine atwork (no vpn tunnel).The exact error is:Unable to connect to server blahblahblah:ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expiredI've tried increasing the sqlserver odbc driver's CPTimeout without success.Appreciate any advice.Eric
We have a C++ program that connects to a remote SQL Server database. Recently the system we pull data from upgraded to SQL Server 2005 and my program can no longer connect to the database. We're getting TimeOut expired errors (not login timeout expired) within 15 - 20 seconds after attempting to open the connection. I have confirmed with this other system that my id does not show up in any logs on their end. Here is some background: Nothing has changed on my end. We have another system that my team supports that is able to connect, and they have changed nothing. They're using a different connection method. We're using oledb and they use odbc and a different provider. I confirmed with the SQL Server team that this id made a connection.
Connect String:
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;;User ID=XXX;Password=xxxx;Data Source=serverdb instance;Initial Catalog=xxxx; From what i've read, etc this connect string should work still
Here is an example of the code and context of this connect string
'Set connection object pTEST_HR(pConnect.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection))); pConnect->ConnectionString = OurConnectString; pConnect->Open("","","",adConnectUnspecified); 'Create and open recordset TESTHR(pRstEmployee.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset))); pRstEmployee->Open("Employee", This is the point at which we get a timeout. _variant_t((IDispatch *)pConnection,true), adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable);
Server Info: I have succesfully pinged the server The client is not in the same domain as the db server
Error: Appl: A database error has occured -> Error Code = 80040e31 Code meaning = IDispatch error #3121 Source = Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Description = Timeout expired
Other info: Not sure about my client database provider. This is coded in Visual C++ 6.
I'm not knowledgeable on SQL Server configuration, etc.
Things i've tried so far Change provider from SQLOLEDB.1 to SQLOLEDB Change provider to SQLNCLI Had SQL server query time out set to never time out. The remote login timeout changed to 600 seconds from 30 seconds. However we are getting a timeout in only a few seconds, so i find that interesting.
