Messed Up Connections
May 13, 2008
There I was merrily working away on my SSIS package, when one of our lovely network people completely wiped the drive my SQL Server database was sitting on. I was a bit miffed.
I was even more miffed when I found out after restoring the database that the package I was editing would no longer connect to it. I've removed and recreated all my datasources and connection managers and no luck.
I get a number of errors -
When trying to execute a simple task to take populate a table in my SQL Server database from a remote source I get:
[ODD - PMP10 in ORBIT STAGING [652]] Error: SSIS Error Code
Code SnippetDTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ORBIT STAGING" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
I can however, connect to the database in design mode, using the same connection parameters - I can create tables too, so access rights look ok.
When trying to run a for each container that uses an ADO Connection, I get:
Code SnippetError 1 Error loading Orbit Extract.dtsx: The connection "ORBIT_STAGING - ADO.NET" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. D:DevORBITExtractOrbit Extract.dtsx
Well, the connection does exist, so it must be a corrupt internal pointer or something...
If I double click on the errors, It takes me to the top of the XML file, and I'm loath to mess with this directly, as I don't know what is what here...
Anyone know of a way to sort this out?

Hi,Consider this (light example):SELECT [template].[id], [template].[navn], [tvalues].[id]FROM template LEFT JOIN Tvalues ON [tvalues].[templateid]=[template].[id]This returns ok. But I have a clause on the Tvalues like this:WHERE [tvalues].[nr]=1;Now I dont get what I want anymore? What I mean here is:"return all records from Template and the corresponding values in TValues.If no corresponding values can be found or those where TValues.nr<>1 thenreturn NULL".Erhm...`Hope u get my meaning.../Pip

Hi,
I did something bad (I don't recall what it was) and I can no longer log into Reporting Services. I wish I could list everything I've tried but I've been at it so long I don't remember. And I've been through the ringer of error messages.
Is there a way I can completely reset and/or restart all the settings from the original install - without doing a new install? I am afraid I am going to mess up SSAS, SSMS, SSIS and something else.
Thank you for the help.

When I try to view my report manager from the computer that SSRS is installed on, I cannot do any administration on it. How can I get this back?
Here's some more info: I browse to http://localhost/reports on the machine and it only shows links for "Home", "My Subscriptions" and "Help". there are no options to add a new folder, set up security on the root folder or any admin functions.
I looked into the HELP and it wasn't any...

I have this #@!% installed on my machine and when it failed I made the
major error of following some telephone instructions from their
"help-less" support desk - - - well their $#@% products now runs again
(oh whoopie) -but- nothing else related to sql server will work.
This includes:
Visual Developer 2005 Express - Database Explorer
SQL Server Configuration Manager, Surface Area Configuration, etc., etc. (not found)
I tried to re-install SQL Server -but- the install fails, fails, fails...
The failures are always with a corrupt msi file that has just been downloaded / expanded - yet fails???
I have registered and sent error reports -but- I still don't have a functional sql server version running and available.
I do have "their" version of SQL Server running again - this time it is named my-machine-nameGOFIGURE
Like an idiot I deleted folders and un-installed sql server (as per 'their' instructions)
NEVER again - if I ever get things back to "normal"
WHAT should I do - I would 'like' to continue to run their software -but- NOT at the expense of everything else.
If I have to uninstall anything - please list - thanks :)
Thanks,
Paul

Using SQL Server 2000 and moving to a new computer. We did a full backup ofthe existing database to tape, brought up the new computer with a cleaninstall using the same server name and IP address, and did a full restore.Not only were some permissions messed up, but Crystal Reports 10 and someAccess Data Projects refused to run. I finally discovered while running anSP_WHO that the individual database names that we'd created (meaning not'master' and the other standard tables) had several dozen blanks appendedonto the end of them. Looking at dbnames in the SP_WHO made it clear thatthis had happened, and once I knew what I was looking for it was apparent inEnterprise Manager as well when I'd select a database name in the left pane.Interestingly, VB6 applications have no trouble connecting to these tableswithout modification of the connection string. Every single CR10 report sofar has had to have it's tables relinked, and this has broken some othercode that looks at dbnames.1: How could something like this happen?2: How is it best fixed?Thanks!David

Hello
I need to import a unicode text file with a DTS. The textfile needs to be imported width fixed column width settings as there are no field delimeters.
The data in the file is messed up (some columns are concatenated) when opened in Notepad.
The data looks fine when opened in Wordpad and also all fields are nicely delimeted but then I end up with unicode characters which are not supported in Wordpad.
Is there anyway around this?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Worf

Hello:
We are running an application on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
As the data for the application is growing by leaps and bounds, we were shortly going to run out of disk space on one and decided to move production to a new, larger box.
I took a full backup of the current production database nad loaded it onto the new server with no problems except one.
When users tried to log in, there were problems. Apparently the passwords for users were switched with other users or somehow the sysusers data got reversed. THe logins, or the data from msyslogins, looked fine.
I don't understand how a full backup and then a restore would have any effect on the sysusers data.
Has any one experienced this before? Other than bcp out the data from sysusers and bcp'ing the data after the restore, is there any thing else I can do?
Does any one have a script tp offload sysusers data?
Any help which can be provided would be appreciated. THanks.

I installed the evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 and now my DSL connection on Windows XP is all fouled up; I'm using Server 2003 at the moment. Will uninstalling it get rid of the problem? First Oracle eats my DSL connection, now SQL wants a piece! :eek:

Recently moved a couple of dbs from SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 (different machine). Just restored the dbs on the new server from a full backup of the old one. Everything is fine but...
Some queries are returning out-of-order results (for records added since the migration). I tracked this down to the indexes. I completely rebuilt and reorganized the indexes (online) through the manager interface. This helped provide correct ordering for existing records, but new records added since the re index are still out-of-order.
Looking for a way to permanently fix the indexes so I don't have to constantly rebuild them.
Thanks.

I am using SQL7 Query Analyzer. A simple select * from myMLSview andthen I save results as a .csv file has the commas messed up in quite afew places. The data is messed up before I save it to the .csv file. Sothere are blank spaces being added here and there causing them to readas 'add comma' when saving to .csv format. Even the column data ismessed up... example: ,photo_mod_time,photo_mo,d_date, should read,photo_mod_time,photo_mod_date,I have a view on a remote MS-SQL7 Server, the view has about 200columns and the data returned from the my querys can be from 10 to 25MBin size. Connection is via Roadrunner/cable. Should I use anothermethod, maybe command line? Any suggestions?

I have (had!) SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio Web Express
2005 (still do) installed but need to write some Reporting Services
reports. I have now bought a Sql Server 2005 Developer license (£40 version)
and have installed it. However I couldn't find any new installation in
my program files so i uninstalled it and the express
version and tried to reinstall the Developer edition but it
kept stopping with all the options greyed out saying there's nothing
to install. So i managed to install as an instance, can't install the 2nd disc though ?? Am i doing something wrong here ? how can i satrt again ??

Hi,
I am using expressions for the textboxes in the Table control Header, because the header names should be displayed in both English as well as in Japanese based on the language selection.The report works fine and all the render formatts except CSV are working fine.when i export this report to CSV, the header names are not coming in the first row of CSV , but some other textbox names (eg textbox 34..) are being displayed on the first row of CSV.From second row onwards, i am getting the header names seperated by comma and the data is being displayed.This header names are being repeated for all the rows in the CSV along with the data.Please give me a solution regarding this.
I tried by setting Data Element as "NO" from "Auto".I could stop the header names being repeated from second row in CSV, but i couldnot get the names in the first row of CSV.
I need to have all the header names as first row in csv and from the second row, i need data.

Hey Everyone,
I have a Data-Flow task embedded in a Sequence Container (does not fail component on error) on the Control Flow panel of the SSIS designer. This data flow task contains a connection to a Flat File Source -> A Data Transformation -> Into an OLE Db Destination.
The problem is that the Flat File isn't always delimited properly -> the client cannot be relied on to do this.
My question is when the delimiters are messed up, how can I capture the offending error row(s) from the Flat File Source?
What I've tried:
1) Set every column in the source flat file on error to: Redirect Row
2) Added a Script Transformation to pull the description and the record id out of the offending row
3) Added an Error file flat file destination to the end of the flow.
The package always fails on the Flat File Source and never Redirects the offending Row to the error output - I never see my onError Script Transformation go Green, Red, or Yellow - SSIS doesn't let it get there.
I'm really new to SSIS so sorry if this is a super basic question.
Here is the Error Text:
[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "RECID" was not found.
[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: An error occurred while processing file "C:------InventTable.csv" on data row 15228.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - InventTable_csv" (1) returned error code 0xC0202092. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
I do have the MaxErrorCount set to 1 on the Data Flow Task but still think I should see my script task execute and a log entry be generated.
Any Ideas?

Hi there,
Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()
Try
Dim cmd As IDbCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
Dim sql As String = "EDSConfirmUpdate" '"EDSConfirmUpdate""PswdConfirmation"
'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
'Split string into array
Dim Values() As String = ReturnValue.Split(";~".ToCharArray)
'If the return code is CONTINUE, all is well. Otherwise, collect the
'reason why the result failed and let the user know
If Values(0) = "CONTINUE" Then
Return True
Else
results.Result = Values(0)
'Make sure there is a message being returned
If Values.Length > 1 Then
results.Message = Values(2)
End If
Return False
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
If (Not conn Is Nothing AndAlso conn.State = ConnectionState.Open) Then
conn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Function

in the above GetConnection() method i
have commented out the .net dataprovider for oledb and changed it to
.net dataprovider for SQLconnection. this function works fine. But in
the authenticate method above at the line
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
for some reason its throwing the below error.

If i comment out the
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
and uncomment the .net oledb provider,
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
then it works fine.
I also have changed the webconfig file as below.
<!--<add

/>-->
<add key="Common" value='User ID=**secret**;pwd=**secret**;Data Source="ESMALLDB2K";Initial Catalog=cj_common;' />
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)

Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?

Hi I have some simple questions of for MS SQL. Say I have a database with a table Called Company. In this table I have Employee's with these columns(EmployeeID<PK>, FirstName, LastName) Now I am inserting some data like this.EmployeeID FirstName, LastName------------------------------------------------------- 1 Bob Smith2 Joe Mitter Now Say I have this situation(this will look weird for this example but for another examples and the stuff I am working on it make sense). Say I have a new Employee Called Jessica White. Jessica must be the second record. So I need to insert it between the 1st and 2nd record. Like I said I am very noob at doing this stuff so I am not sure how I would do it. I first was going to my table and then went to modify. This brought up a blank grid with all my column names. I then started to add all my data in. I found out later to make my life easier I need to enter in certain spots null rows in it to help with formating(otherwise I would have had to figure out a way to do make null rows with c# code). I then went back to this grid and I tried to add a record before the data just like you if you used excel. I quickly found out you can not do that. This resulted me having to recreate the table and reput the all the data back in(this told me I was doing something very very wrong). I was then thinking of writing it with a query and I been playing around with it and still running into problems like say I had a table called test with a coloum called id<PK> and testss(yes bad names just playing around though).So if I did something like this:INSERT INTO testVALUES(2)INSERT INTO testVALUES(1)SELECT * FROM testNow I am trying to figure out how to insert something between rows 1 and 2. Would I have to drop the table or delete all the data and then run a saved copy of my script with the added change or what?My second question is what is a good site that has examples of all the commands(I don't want to read a book on it I have had a oracle sql course and well it was just boring and I did not learn too much.). I think the best way for me to learn is just continue doing my site and picking it up on the file and when I got a problem read about it and ask on the forums. Thanks

Very strange event. Installed new machine into NT 4 network, which has a PDC and a BDC. We have copies of all SQL databases on both the PDC and the BDC. I installed SQL 7 on new workstation. Throught Control Panel/ODBC connections I can reach the SQL files on bith the PDC and BDC. Howver when I try to use Enterprise Manager, I can connect to the tables on the PDC, but not the BDC. SQL lists both machines in the server group, but only allows me to access tables on PDC! Here is the Event information that I recived on the BDC:
The computer IVR1 tried to connect to the server NTBACKUPSERVER using the trust relationship established by the MASSCOM domain. However, the computer lost the correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was reconfigured.
How do I fix this?

I am looking for some ideas on the following DTS challenge: I need to import the data from an Access 97 database into a set of tables(about 25). The location of the database can be anywhere on the users drive(s) and I will need to get the location of the database from a registry setting and use it to define the connection.

We have a case where a user is using Excel sheet to connect the database on SQL2K and generally his connection runs in the upper 150 in numbers. He generally gets more than 150 connections open.
I know that it's not a good thing, but is there a way to limit it or even kill it after it reaches max?
What are the disadvantages of opening too many connections?

I'm getting the classic message "The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool" etc when connecting to my SQL Server 2005 Express from a .Net application.
Then I try connecting, simultaneously, from a simple ASP.net thing I wrote just for testing and this works fine. So, then the connection pool can't be full, can it? Or, does each application have its own pool??
