Updates To SQLServer 2000 DLL's When 2005 Client Tools Installed
Jan 12, 2006Hi,
I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc.
I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product. The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server.
So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.
I have recently had to make changes to a 2000 DTS package and used my 2000 enterprise manager to do so. No Problem- saved and tested fine on my workstation.
But when I try and release it to another server, or open the package using enterprise manager from another machine that does not have sql 2005 installed - I get an error message 'Unspecified error'. This I've seen before when trying to open packages created in v2000 , using v7 or where the service packs are different between machines.
Digging around my workstation and comparing some of the DLLs I know to be required to distribute DTS packages (from RDIST.txt) it seems that some of the SQL 2000 dll files have been updated by my 2005 installation.
E.g
DTSFFILE.DLL on my machine is 2000.85.1054.0 whilst on any 'clean' 2000 machine is at version v2000.80.760.0
Surely it cant be right that SQL 2005 has newer versions of components for SQL 2000 than is available with the latest SP for the actual product! Especially considering that the installation of 2005 does not even allow you to edit 2000 DTS packages through the management studio without a 'special' download' of the feature pack,(whihc by the way does not work very well either)
So am I to conclude that you can not run side by side installations of SQL 2000 and 2005 on a single machine and expect 2000 to run as it did previously !!!
ODBC Connection For Client Application To SQL Server 2005 Express Installed On Network Computer
May 5, 2006Hi All,
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Thanks!
Can't Find SQL Native Client In ODBC Connection Manager In SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
Feb 13, 2007I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?

Sql05-exp: What Exactly Is Installed To Client Computers On The Network
Oct 5, 2006I'm sure this is rediculously simple, but I am totally new to sql. We are upgrading our practice management software to an edition which requires sql to be installed on our Win2003 file DC server and 18 client computers, all running xp-sp2. New software comes with an option to automatically install MSDE but I would like to try sql05 express instead, which they support if it is pre-installed on the server and all workstations. We meet all necessary sql05-exp requirements. After spending several hours online and downloading 05 books online, etc I beleive I understand how to set up the file server where the data resides, but I am now confused about what exactly I am to install on the client computers. Clients have .net 2.0 installed. I see no option to download specific "Client" software, just sql05 server express edition sp1, management studio express, and express edition toolkit sp1. Are you supposed to just run the server ed sp1 on each workstation, enable tcp/ip, and tell it to connect to the server's sql database, and if so, doesn't that leave a sql 'server' running on each workstation? Other documentation mentions installing the toolkit and connecting to the server, but I've found nothing which explains this simple procedure everyone must do, so I know I'm missing the obvious. Please help and Thanks.

Jan 13, 2007Hi
I've succesfully installed Visual C# and I've made a couple of example projects. I now want to try and create a database and see if I can make a C# application that talks to it.
So I've installed SQL Server Express. I was hoping I could open it up and get started with creating tables etc. Instead, my Start menu shows:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
>>>Configuration Tools
>>>>>>SQL Server Configuration Manager
>>>>>>SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
>>>>>>SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Where do I go now? Is there some configuring to do before I can start making tables and storing data? Or, have I misunderstood what SQL Server is about?
Thanks

How Can Client Get Service Pack Of Ssis Installed On Server?
Apr 12, 2008if we installed ssis on the same server much later than the engine itself, could it have been installed successfully at an earlier service pack than the engine? I did a select @@version on the engine and got

I cant see a way from the client to get a service pack on ssis itself. I'd like to be sure about a suggestion from one of your contributors before approaching our technical guys about their failure to install sp 2 of something.

Client ODBC Errors
Jul 20, 1999As a SQL adminstrator any maintenance I perform including performing full database backups against the sql server with users connected to a certain database, causes the odbc connection to fail between the web server and the sql database. This causes all clients to experience an odbc failure. The only resolution is to reboot the webserver. There is ODBC driver incompatibilites that exist between the servers. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am in the process of a change control request to upgrade the ODBC on the production SQL server to 3.70.0623 the same as the web server but am not sure that this is the issue. Can there be something in the application itself that would be causing it to break and not reestablish the ODBC connection?
Thanks

Do I Need License For Using SSIS Library (Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS) On Machine Where SQL Express Is Installed
Nov 19, 2007
I am working to develop an application using dotnet framework 2.0 that requires loading tab delimited text file (generated on each user action) in to table of SQL Express database. I am thinking to use SSIS library (Managed DTS) to call my SSIS package from within my application to load this data on each user transaction. This should be noted that I am not hosting my packages in to SQL Express.
Microsoft allows redistribution of SQL Express for free. Do I need any SQL Server or any other type of license for using SSIS library from my application?

Client/server ODBC Problem
Nov 6, 2004I have an application on:
W2K client
Sql 2000 + No SP
MS ODBC V3.8
C++
The application, running on the client, connects to SQL server for many simultaneous queries involving select, insert and update. Application creats a thread for each query. Each thread connects to the sql server via ODBC using sqlconnect.
However I find that the individual thread do not close properly and stay open even after sqldisconnect has been issued on the client. At one point I have over 1200 threads on client application trying simultaneously to connect to the server and the sqlserver is holding with 276 threads open.
I do not understand why the ODBC connection stays open even after sqldisconnect is issued. I have even tried disabling connection pooling, to no effect. The performance is very poor.
How can I issue a large number of queries to same sql server via ODBC while guaranteeing performance?

I am not sure if I select right Froum:)
It might be a basic question but could you please help me on that?
Working Environment:
I have developed application on SQL Server 2005 and now wants to Run on Client Site, I am using access as a front end and SQL server 2005 back end through ODBC (System Dsn) which is working good. (user has been added on SQL Server and on Database)
Question:
1) Do I need to create new System Dsn Or other DSN (Keep in mind I have already create System DSN in Server) at each client site to access application from Server?
(If yes then I am trying to do that, it allow me to create (with required database which is on Server) and verify but doesn’t save on ODBC list so I can’t use that name to run appliation on client site)
I am using windows authentication.

MSDE And Client Tools From SQLServer Eval
Nov 19, 2003Ok, a while back, probably a year or so I started moving to MSDE. At the time a read posts on the Web that said you could use the client tools from the SQL Server Eval to manage MSDE. Great! I thought.
But more recently I get the impression that using those tools in not allowed. Can someone give me a diffinative answer.
I really want to stick with MSDE and am having a hard time convincing the boss to shell out $9,000+ for SQL Server on my dual processor web server. But I need DTS, Job Scheduling, etc...
Now my boss has wind of MySQL and knows that it's CHEAP.
If I can legally use the client tools with MSDE than I'm fine, if not I dread going to MySQL.
Your Advice is appreciated.

SQL Native Client ODBC On Ia64 And SQLGetStmtAttr(SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY)
Dec 12, 2006We've run into an issue running against the SQL Native Client ODBC driver (version 2005.90.2047.0) on Windows 2003 Server (Itanium). The "INFO: ODBC 64-Bit API Changes in MDAC 2.7" article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298678) doesn't say that the returned value for SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY changed to a 64-bit value, but if you request this attribute from the SQL Native Client driver, a 64-bit value is returned. The ODBC spec still indicates that SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY is a SQLUINTEGER value, which is 32-bit, even on a 64-bit platform.
This is easy to see by using the ODBC Test utility in the Windows SDK for ia64, "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKBinWin64ia64odbcte32.exe". If you connect to the SQL Server driver and then simply call SQLGetStmtAttr(SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY), you'll see that the *StringLengthPtr argument returns 8 bytes, when it should only return 4.
Note that we've also seen the same behavior with SQL_ATTR_ROW_BIND_TYPE as well as other statement attributes defined to return SQLUINTEGER values.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks,
Chris
ODBC To SQL Express - SQL Driver Versus SQL Native Client
Aug 2, 2007
I have a SQL express database which I need to access from a shared hosting plan. I can create an ODBC connection through the hosting provider's control panel for SQL Server, but it won't connect. I tested this locally and discovered that the SQL Native Client connects fine, but the previous SQL Server driver does not. This seems to only happen with SQL 2005 Express edition; it works with the Developer Edition. Does SQL Express only use the Native SQL Client??
Thanks in advance for your help!
Connect To SqlServer 2005 With Odbc
Feb 28, 2008Hi all,
I'm not a db guru and probably this is a very simple question for you, but I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a SqlServer using odbc without DSN.
I mean, I'm trying to connect to the db server from a linux (Fedora Core 8) workstation, using odbc drivers, but it looks like I can do that only using a DSN connection and setting properly the odbc.ini file. It doesn't work, if I use a connection like this from a PHP script:
$cn = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServer;Database=MyDatabase",
"MyUser","MyPassword")
Does anyone know how to connect to SqlServer with a DSN-less connection? Could you explain me where is the error?
I'm using SQLServer2005, Fedora Core 8 with the last FreeTDS installed.
Please help!
Thanks million in advance.
ASE ODBC 12.5 Driver Has Problem With SQLServer 8.0 DTS: HELP!

On the other, I've got W2000 5.00.2195 (SP2)with SQL Server Standard Edition, Product Version 8.00.534 (SP2),having installed MDAC 2.6.I connect to the Sybase 12.5 database using Merant ASE ODBC driver forSybase 12.5, and using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Serverthat comes with this SQLServer version.I try to pump over data from Sybase to SQLServer to one table at aSQLServer user database, using a package containing a select statementon a View on the Sybase Server side, using an ODBC 12.5 System DSNpointing to the Sybase server. All privileges are set correctly oneither side and the ODBC datasource test gives an 'OK' on trying toreach the Sybase Server.When I do PREVIEW, I get a resultset alright, however, when I actuallyrun the package as a scheduled job, its keeps on running infinitelyuntil manually killed. No data at all is inserted in the the SQLServertable.Strange thing is, the same processes is running without anycomplications on a W2000 5.00.2195 (SP3), MDAC 2.7 system, with thesame SQLServer connecting to the same Sybase Server but using MerantASE ODBC 12.0 instead of ODBC 12.5.How come?Any help will be greatly appreciated.Martijn Rutte

View 3 Replies View RelatedDatabase Mirroring, Client Connections All ODBC So What Methods Are Recommended?
Jun 5, 2006As stated in the subject I have a situation where if database mirroring is employed for either manual or automatic failover, all the client (including web connections) connections use ODBC not ADO, or OLEDB etc... so what methods are recommended? Client side redirect is not available so I could not employe the "Data Source =A; Failover Partner=B..." option.
Right now the method employed (pre database mirroring and basically employing log shipping on SQL 2000) is to have a DNS alias for the ODBC connection so that if the server were to change in a failover situation the DNS record would have to be altered, so that all the client connections would not have to be reconfigured.
