Microsoft Data Link Error
Nov 27, 2006
A test installation script I ran on my dev rig seems to have broken the OLE DB Provider for Sql Server. The uninstall must have deleted a DLL or unregistered a lib. When I try to connect to a SQL database from this machine now get the following error:
==
Microsoft Data Link Error
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.
==
It is not the connection string because this was working fine prior to me running the test installation script.
Can you give advice on how to repair the SQL Server data provider for WinXP SP2?
I have tried to re-install MDAC 2.8 with no success due SP2 diallowing this. I uninstalled SP2 and re-installed MDAC 2.8 but the problem remains.
I'm all out of ideas, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi!
I've a computer with W2K SP4 installed. Previously SQL Express 2005 worked but according to the user it "just stopped working".
When selecting database on the server in the "Data Link Properties"-window he is given the following error message:
"Microsoft Data Link" "Login failed. Catalog information cannot be retrieved"
followed by
"Microsoft Data Link Error" "Connection failure"
Note: He is not given the error message "Server does not exist or access denied!"
- The SQL service is started (can be stopped and restarted without problem)
- I've re-installed SQL Express.
- I've checked and is certain the server name is correct (i.e. computernameSQLEXPRESS)
Any ideas here because I'm getting desperate?
Thanks in advance,
Peter Hartlén

Hi,
I am trying to create a linked server between 2 SQL Server 2005 boxes.
When I create the linked server I specify a login for the connection.
The strange part is that I get the following error when it goes to test the connection:
The test connection to the linked server failed
Login failed for user 'Domainuser'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
I can use the SQL mangement studio to conenct to the database using this same login.
The login has all the server roles assigned to it also.
Can anyone shed some light as to what may be the problem?
Thanks,

The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "192.168.0.40" does not contain the table ""CP_DW"."dbo"."StgDimSalesTargetSetup"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have
permissions on that table.

Hello,
I am struggling with a really ugly problem in SSIS.
I am designing SSIS package where I have a couple of Script tasks. Let's call them Script Task 1 and Script Task 2. Everything was working fine until this morning I added another Script taks (Script Task 3), which was trying to do some rudementary file manipulation. At that point I started getting this message:
"Microsoft Visual Sutdio for Applications has lost the link to .
Your work will be exported to c:documents and settings".
This is it! "lost a link to "dot". After this, the VS environment continues to run in debug mode, so it doesn't even crash stirctly speaking. I can stop debugging and continue developing, but nothing would run anymore and I would keep getting the same error. Moreover, after removing Script Task 3 (which seems to be the culprit), I would still keep getting the same error! Only removing all the script tasks completely and then adding them back gets the package to run again.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have a Data Flow task which uses an XML File Source with six parellell Outputs, each going firstly to a Data Conversion Task, then the results of each end in a SQL Server Destination Object. (All using the SQL Native Client)
To eplain this further, the Xml file contains 6 different types of elements, the Dataflow splits out each type of element and processes them into different tables. The Data Transformation object exists only because the XML fields are Uni-code and the table fields are VarChar not nVarChar.
Initially using this setup I found that the Connection would timeout using the SQL Native Client so I changed the Timout on the Destination Objects to 0. This fixed the problem to some degree, however at present I can run the Pakage using the Visual Studio enviroment and everything works fine, no problem. When I run the Dtsx file using the SQL Server Agent, I end up getting the error below...
Error: 2007-12-14 14:33:19.16 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Import XML File to SQL SQL - CP [2746] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.

I understand that this error is somewhat of a 'catch all' and that the way the Native SQL Server Connection object works makes Error Capturing difficult. I have tried a few things which I will list as I'm sure they will be suggested...
I have played around with the 'MaxInsertCommitSize' property of the SQL Server Destination Objects to no avail (IE, changing to 50000, 10000, 1000 all of which resulted in the same problem)
I am running the ssis pakage from the server which is the destination
As mentioned above the Timeout on the SQL Server Destination Objects is set to 0
What I have already mentioned and still don'tt quite understand is that I can run the job successfully from the Visual Studio enviroment but as a job run off the SQL Server it fails...

Hi SQL Server Team,
In order to add a data source by using ODBC Administrator, programmatically i am using SQLConfigDataSource. Thus calling SQLConfigDataSource with the fOption set to either ODBC_ADD_DSN for creating a new DSN.
Following is the stattement specified in the source code. where type_of_driver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"; and parameters contains the data source source credentials information such as DSN, UID, PSW, FIL, Description, DataDirectory,DEFAULTDIR and DBQ all separated by "
