OLE DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' Supplied Inconsistent Metadata

Feb 4, 2008

I have SQL Server 2000 SP4 and i am using a link server which is also 2000 sp4. I am facing an interesting error which is

OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata while extracting the data.

FYI.
I am executing the dynamic query which uses another server to fetch the data.

Let me know if anyone can help me out to resolve this issue.

Thanks

'SQLNCLI' Supplied Inconsistent Metadata

Dec 20, 2007



I am running a SQL2K on a Server2K box. I have linked servers to SQL2005 Express on WinXP. I am trying to get data off of the SQL2005 DB to the central DB on SQL2K. This has been running for about a year. I am now getting an error message as follows:

Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'TestVarChar' (compile-time ordinal 2) of object '"WKS"."DBo"."testtable"' was reported to have changed. The exact nature of the change is unknown].

When I run the following Queries on the SQL2K box:
SELECT * from WKSA400.WKS.DBo.testtable

or

SELECT * from OPENQUERY(WKSA400, 'SELECT * from WKS.DBO.testtable')

I did notice that if my testtable has only numeric fields, it works fine. It only has a problem with alphanumeric fields.

If I run 'exec sp_tables_ex WKSA400' on the SQL2K, it works fine. I get a listing of all the tables on the remote server. This tells me that my security is fine. It seems to be a conversion from the 2005 to 2000 SQL. If it had not been working for over a year, the dent in the wall the size of my head would be much smaller.

Inconsistent Metadata From Linked 6.5 Server

Aug 16, 1999

I have a problem retrieving data from a linked SQL Server 6.5 server in version 7. I have set-up the server as a linked server and most operations occur with no problem. With some tables, though, I get the following error when I attempt to query any column of data:

Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.

This occurs consistently for a subset of tables. I cannot see any pattern to the configuration of these tables that would make them any different to those where a query succeeds.

Any ideas?

Regards

Error: The Component Has Inconsistent Metadata

Jul 11, 2006



I have a Source Query with this sql set as a property expression:

"SELECT Category, Server_Name, Entitle_UserID,User_SubID,Start_Time,End_Time,Entitle_User_Name,Stat_Name,Stat_Count,Stat_Type,pk,create_date,run_num,Average,Median,Maximim FROM tbl_ws_stats WHERE pk > " + (DT_STR, 100, 1252)@[pk_var]

There is a message : 'The component has inconsistent metadata.'

Then when I click on the Source Query: 'The component is not in a valid state. Do you want the component to fix itself automatically?'

I also notice that there are no columns on the Column Mappings tab and no way to add columns.

How can I correct?

Thanks

Provider=SQLOLEDB In Our Legacy System, What Does It Mean?

Apr 9, 2008

if we see provider=sqloledb in the connection string of a legacy sql server 2000/2005 system we're trying to understand better, can we conclude that ODBC is definitely not in the client picture, that possibly OLEDB is and that SQL Native isnt? Can we conclude for sure what middleware must be in use?

My limited understanding of this "middleware" space is that ODBC is old and restrictive, OLEDB is a lot more state of the art and general, and that SQL Native is more proprietary than OLEDB.

Even if we can conclude what middleware must be in use, is it generally as simple as changing a connection string and ensuring installation of the preferred middleware in upgrading to better performing middleware?

2005/2005Express SQLOLEDB Provider Problem

Aug 28, 2006

When creating a connection string in ADO (using Delphi7), I insert the provider like this:

Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=sa;Password=masterkey

Now, when I try to run this on a SQL Server 2005 or SQL2005 Express database, it won't create the connection
unless I use the SQLNCLI provider.

Is there a way to force them to use the OLEDB provider?
I have MDAC2.8-SP1 installed.

Java.sql.SQLException: Could Not Get The Data Of The Row From The OLE DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'

Mar 27, 2007

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition service pack 1
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition 32 bit, SP4 : 2000.8.00.2039

jdbc driver: jtds
connection string: jdbc:jtdsqlserver://ZH-DATA-4:1434/[dbname];instance=[instance name]

the connectivity works fine...almost.

I have 2 identical sql servers one of which is linked to the other via a linked server config which for one particular query gives back the error I give in the subject of this thread:
java.sql.SQLException: Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB'

if I run the exact same sql string in query analyser it runs with no problem.
if have similar queries also running from java which use the linked server and these do not give an error. I am at a loss as to explain why this is happening.

the query in question joins together a number of views which reference the linked server.

I have tried everything I can think of including recreating the views and linked server definition.
If all is OK in query analyser, how can it fail when called over jbdc (especially when all other db requests succeed) ?

Translation Of StrConnectie = Provider=SQLOLEDB; && _ Data Source=(local)SQLEXPRESS; &&

Jul 3, 2007

Hello,I'm struggling a giant fight with my webprovider (ASP.net 2.0) in the following case:I'm using the default connectionstring which automatic is provided when I create an ASP.net webstarterskit. This connectionstring is working fine when i deployed that kit to a W2003 server testenvironment and is also running on my laptop. But when I tried to deploy the website to my (new) hostingserver, also a W2003 server, I landed in ERROR-land. The last error I received was:Cannot open database "Club" requested by the login. The login failed.>
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.NB: I gave that user the right privileges and roles.  My provider is not willing in sending me an example of a good working connectionstring and is directing me to their FAQ-site in which the right connectionstring is mentioned. That string looks like this (for a MS SQL database):strConnectie = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _ "Data Source=(local)SQLEXPRESS;"
& _ "Initial Catalog=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "User Id=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "Password=[WACHTWOORD]"My connectionstring in web.config looks like this:<connectionStrings><clear/><add name="ClubSiteDB"

name="LocalSqlServer"/><add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;User 
Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf"
/></connectionStrings>Is there anybody in this forum that can help me out and explain to me how to use the string, as provided by the host, in the default connectionstring i use in web.config ??Any help is welcome and appreciated.NB: I'm using VWD 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server Management Studio ExpressHarry  Elzinga

The Operation Could Not Be Performed Because The OLE DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' Was Unable To Begin A Distributed Transaction.

Jan 14, 2008

Hi,

I am facing the below mentioned error:

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].

I have a Insert statement which i am using to insert data into a remote server from my local server. I have added the remote server as a linked server in my local server but when i try to execute the statement i am getting the above mentioned error. I am using Windows Enterprise Edition 2003 and SQL Server 2000.

I have also enabled the Allow InBound and Allow OutBound in the security configuration of My Computer properties but still i am facing the same problem. Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue.

Linked Server Issue: The Operation Could Not Be Performed Because The OLE DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' Was Unable To Begin A Distribut

Jan 16, 2008

Hi,
I was making a linked server connection between 2 SQL Server 2000 servers (both running on Windows 2003 Server), and I was creating an insert trigger in one of the SQL Server table to insert the same value to the other SQL table. But when I try to make an insert to the table, the following error occurred :

Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure <triggername>, Line xx
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].

I tried to change the trigger into a SELECT statement only and the error still occurred. But when I tried to insert a row directly to the linked server via Query Analyzer, it succeeded.
I have read KB 280106, KB 306212, and KB 329332, and I've tried SET XACT_ABORT ON statement, but none of them can solve the problem.
If there's anyone who has idea on what's wrong or has a suggestion what I should try please help.
Thank you in advance.

SQLOLEDB Bug?

Apr 29, 2008

Hello,
I've found some strange behavior of SQLOLEDB provider. When I set "Preserve on Abort" on true and delete some row in transaction, I cannot see this row after transaction rollback. Is this correct?
My code:
Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection Dim recSet As ADODB.Recordset Dim cmd As ADODB.Command Dim c1 As Long, c2 As Long ' ## Open a connection Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection Conn.Open "Provider='SQLOLEDB';Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source='PENASSQLEXPRESS';Initial Catalog='PokusDB';" ' ## Open a table Set recSet = New ADODB.Recordset '## Open cursor Set cmd = New ADODB.Command Set cmd.ActiveConnection = Conn cmd.Properties("Preserve on Abort") = True cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM zkouska order by text" recSet.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdUnknown '## TransBegin Conn.BeginTrans '## CursorMove recSet.MoveFirst '## RecordDelete recSet.Delete adAffectCurrent recSet.Requery adOptionUnspecified '## TransAbort Conn.RollbackTrans '## CursorMove recSet.MoveFirst c2 = recSet.Fields("cislo").Value If c1 <> c2 Then Err.Raise 1000, "Transaction test failed" End If

When I call Requery after RollbackTrans everything is OK, but what is then "Preserve on Abort" for?
Also I must call Requery after delete or I will get an error after MoveFirst. Do I miss something?

Connect Timeout Will Not Work - SQLOLEDB

Jan 6, 2005

It seams as if the Connect Timeout property is not working correctly if the server that one is trying to connect to is down. This is my connection string.

Provider=SQLOLEDB;Pooling=False;Data Source=172.16.136.4;Initial Catalog=Db1;User ID=test;Password=test;Connect Timeout=5;

The timeout is ignored and the connection times out after about 15/20 seconds?

Any ideas?

Querying SQL 6.0 Server From SQL 7.0 - SQLOLEDB Error

Mar 31, 1999

I am remotely logging onto a MS SQL 6.0 server using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
When I try to query against the table on this server I get the following error
message:

Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The data source can not be used, because it DBMS version is less than 6.5.0.]

I know that 6.0 doesn't support OLEDB but shouldn't 7.0 be able to access this
using odbc. Do I need to do anything other than set up the dsn on odbc.

Any feedback on this would be great.
Cheers,

Unable To Log Into Server Using SQLOLEDB Request

Aug 31, 2006

I am having trouble logging into my sql server from an asp application using SQLOLEDB.

I am running XP, IIS5 and SQL Svr 2000 on my developement machine. I am able to log into the database using localhost/application.

When I port the code and database over to the server (Server 2003, IIS6, SQL Svr 2000), I am unable to connection using the actual url of the site.

I set the login up on the logins for the database manager along with password (using multi, not Windows authentication). Added that user to the database security logins, giving it dbo, srvr admin, etc. Like I said, works on my dev machine.

The SQLOLEDB request is Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(local);User ID=UID;Password=PWD;Initial Catalog=DBName.

I set the database up as a System DSN in ODBC, using SQL Server Authentication. The connection tests out just fine.

When I attempt to connect, I get an ADO message indicating that the user id that I supplied could not sign in to the server.

This is driving me nuts.

Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what I have missed on the server vs local developement machine?

Any and all help greatly appreciate.



Thx, Tom

Mssql2k Sqloledb.1 (re)connection Failure

Sep 7, 2007

Hey all, 2 questions.

Is there a way to 'refresh' the value of adodb.connection.state? and When my ado class reconnects after a dropped connection i still get connection failure errors.

I'm trying to make the connection b/n the my work's app and mssql server more 'robust'.

Our ado class tests the connection in the 'execute' method ie if connect() execute db task

.connect() is

IF this.loConnection.State = adStateOpen
*-- The connection is already open.
ELSE
create connection
ENDIF

return (this.loConnection.State = adStateOpen)

Now, this works fine when starting up the app, and everything runs fine, but *in theory* it should be able re-establish the connection at any time. So i kill the connection @ on the sql server while the app is running and try to perform a task that requires a db connection.

problem is that 'this.loConnection.State' is still equal to 1 even though the connection is no longer there.

It gets changed to 0 when the .execute fails but the failure is less than graceful... and although it reconnects (sp_who shows a new connection), it seems like the ado object is trying to connect using the old connection rather than the new one. command.activeconnection is set to the new connection in the .connect method so i dunno what's up.

Any ideas?

Minimum Install To Use SQLOLEDB Enumerator?

Jan 17, 2008

Hi,

I have a client application that creates a COM object using the program ID 'SQLOLEDB enumerator' to get an ISourcesRowset. Once I retrieve the ISourcesRowset, I call ISourcesRowset.GetSourcesRowset to obtain a list of available servers.

This works if the client computer (the one running the application) also has SQL Server (or SQL Express) installed. But on a clean computer after installing SQLNCLI.MSI, the call to GetSourcesRowset returns an error 80004005.

My question is, what do I need to install on my client's machines so I can retrieve available servers using this method? Is there another MSI that needs to be installed? Do I need to install SQL Express Client_Components? Or is there something else?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Provider: Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40 - Could Not Open A Connection To SQL Server

May 20, 2008



hi all

I realised this has been done to death, and so much information out there but I am still in a quandry.

I have had to rebuild my computer.

This is what I did

XP machine
using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
using Windows Authentication
NZ6(MSSQLSERVER)

straight default install all the way

unfortunately when ready to run reports from my instance(computer)
I received the error as in provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

thought I had it all okayed but obviously something not right

so ended up unistalling then - did the following:

Load SQL Server from disc1 and start install
failed on alter Counter Registry key error
fixed this from KB article (known error that can happen)
restarted
Went to Windows Update
check IIS is installed - tick is on - IIS - admin tools - make sure asp2 is associated - yes ok
Then back to install sql server - there is no instance set up yet
Disk 2 and setup .exe

All ok on Reporting Services, Analysis etc.


But once again all seems fine but still getting the error:

connection is all fine in Management Studio - eg I can see tables etc
connection is all fine in Business Intelligence - eg I can preview my reports
I then can deploy up to - NZ6
open NZ6
eports
report is there fine - but just errors

some simple little tick that I have not done!!

I seem to have checked and rechecked everything and obviously doing another re-install does not seem a logical step from here.
I will continue to check but if someone jump in and advise please would be great.

cheers
jewel

Provider: Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40 - Could Not Open A Connection To SQL Server

Apr 3, 2007

Hi,



Am getting the followning 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: Named

Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"}



from my application where 3 service references had been added

and hav added this segment in app.config file



<configSections>

<section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

</configSections>

<dataConfiguration defaultDatabase="Connection String" />

<connectionStrings>

<add name="Connection String" connectionString="Data Source=DPA1W075Binstancename;Initial Catalog=SoapBox;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>



Solutions recommended for this were start running the SQL browser instance and enable Namespipes in Sqlserver configuration manager.Did both.. but nothing worked.

Still getting the same error..



Can somebody plz help me?
