I m trying to get record from one server to another using Commit and Rollback feature in the Sql Server and getiing error message--
"No transaction is active."
below is my sql block
BEGIN TRAN
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO [SERVERNAME1].[DATABASENAME].[dbo].[TABLENAME](PurchaseByUserID,price,purchasedate,affiliateID,LicenseeID,debittype)
SELECT PurchaseByUserID,price,purchasedate,affiliateID,LicenseeID,debittype
FROM [SERVERNAME2].[DATABASENAME].[dbo].[TABLENAME]

I was expecting this to return an active transaction
begin transaction
select * from table1
dbcc opentran
(no COMMIT or ROLLBACK)
Server 1: Win2003, Clustered Environment, SQL 2005sp2
Server 2: Win2003, no cluster, SQL 2000sp3a
Server 3 (aka, client): Win2003, using ODBC (sql native client) to connect to server 1
I'm attempting to run an SQR that connects to server 1, yet updates server 2. Right now, all I'm doing is the statement
delete from <server2>.<database>.dbo.table
and am getting the error (DUL41 is server 2):
SQR 5528) ODBC SQL dbexec: SQLExecute error 7412 in cursor 1:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "DUL41" returned message "No transaction is active.".
(SQR 5528) ODBC SQL dbexec: SQLExecute error 7391 in cursor 1:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "DUL41" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
If I use query analyzer (or whatever we're calling it now) to connect to server 1 and run the statement, it works fine. But, SQR is connecting via ODBC (that's different) and also is SQR.
I'm also not 100% sure all of the new MSDTC aspects are configured correctly, but I've gone through the settings a few times. Right now, I pretty much have everything set about as open as possible (these are test servers on the same network) and am still getting the error.
Any help, or ideas I could try, would be great. Thanks.
This may be a simple answer, but I was wondering when setting up transactional replication with updatable subscriptions why does this error occur?
Error:
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "REPLLINK " was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
Changed database context to 'MyDB'.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "REPLLINK" returned message "No transaction is active.". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I've looked for MSDTC security documents and checked every box in the security dialog and selected the 'No Authentication Required€™. MSDTC and SQL Agent are running as NETWORKSERVICE user. I also setup permissions on each individual DCOM Objects for SQL Server. And MSDTC service is running. Both Servers are SQL Server 2005 Standard and Windows 2003 R2. The publisher is on the same box as the distributor. No domains or trusts setup on either. This error occurs when changing data on the subscriber.
Thanks,

I am relatively new to SQL Server so excuse my ignorance.
I have noticed in many of my SQL Server 2005 instances that the tempdb database is very often reporting the log mode as waiting active_transaction or waiting checkpoint.
Is this of concern, how can I determine the cause of these waits and how can they be reduced or eliminated ?
Is there a quick and dirty way to find the oldest record in a select query? There is a date column of type DateTime.

Hi,
I have a database that stores monthly nameed tables for historical data, but after a time (could be 1,2,3 months or on request) I need to be able to delete the oldest table. The tbale name format is ?????_mm_yyyy. Is there a MIN statement that could work on the create date?
Any T-SQL statements that would help me on my way would be great
Thanka!
I have a database that keeps track of pledges, scheduled reminders, and payments.
A user sets up a pledge and then sets up a schedule for reminders to be sent for each payment of the pledge.
Pledge table - PledgeID,PledgeDate,PledgeAmount,etc...
ScheduledReminders table - ScheduleID,PledgeID,DueDate,ReminderDate,ReminderPrintedDate,ReminderPaidDate
AppliedPayments table - ScheduleID,PaymentID,PaidAmount,PaidDate (Junction table between ScheduledReminders and PledgePayments
PledgePayments table PaymentID,PaymentAmount,PaymentDate
What I need to know is, when a payment is being Inserted I need the payment amount applied to the oldest scheduled reminder record that has not been paid. But if the payment is more than the amount shown in the schedule reminder record, I need the balance to be applied to the next oldest schedule reminder record, etc...
Can anyone offer some good suggestions or examples on how to do this?
Hello all,
I need assistance in finding the oldest CDR record in Cisco Callmanager DB using sql query. The CCM version is 3.3(5).
Any assistance is needed. Thanks.
Hi,
I have a base query that will return the ID, StartDate and Code for all IDs. I SELECT only for Codes 5 and 9. For most of the IDs I return a record for both a Code 5 and Code 9. They will have different dates however. How could I select from this base query one record for each ID with the oldest date? The items in yellow are the ones that I would want to return to a report in SSRS. Is there a way to put this data in a temp table and read through it to compare IDs and grab the one with the older date?

I may have one or several files in a folder that act as source files.
How do I loop through the folder, picking the oldest dated file according to its 'Date Modifield' attribute.
Do I have to use a Script Task or similar as I can't seem to find a way to do it with normal tasks.
If so, does anyone have example code.
Thanks

I have a table that I need to delete the oldest date. I thought I could just do an update statement saying...
Delete T_BreakDown
where Date = MIN(Date)
But that doesn't work.
I have a table with the following columns employeeSessionID, OpDate, OpHour, sessionStartTime, sessionCloseTime. I need to see how many users remain active per hour. I can calculate how many logged in per hour, but I am stumped on how to count how many are active per hour. I have a single table that stores login data. I have created a query that pulls out the only the data needed from the table into a temp table using this query. Also note it is possible that the sessionCloseTime is null if the device has not been logged out this would need to be counted a active.
TABLE NAME #empSessionLog Contains the time stamp data OpDate, sessionStartTime and sessionCloseTime.

can see how many sessions logged in per hour with the following statement:
SELECT
opDate,
FORMAT(DATEPART(HOUR, sessionStartTime), '00') AS opHour,
Count(*) AS Total
FROM #empSessionLog
Group BY opDate, FORMAT(DATEPART(HOUR, sessionStartTime), '00')
Order BY opDate, FORMAT(DATEPART(HOUR, sessionStartTime), '00') ASCResults:

Where I am stuck is how do I count the sessions that remain active per hour until the session is closed with the sessionCloseTime.
Hi
I am having some teething problems while installing SQL on a 3 node cluster. Within the Cluster configuration I have 3 Cluster Groups with each of them having their associated disk resources. All these disk resources physically exist on a SAN.
The actual cluster is running absolutely fine and I can access all the disks from their respective owner node. The problem only starts when I start installing SQL Server 2005 on this cluster. I specify the Cluster group from the Cluster Group Selection and choose the desired partition and then the error message pops up
"There is not enough diskspace on the destination disk for the current SQL Server data files. To proceed, free up disk space to make room for data files, or install the data files to a different drive"
But the disk I am trying to install it on is 264Gb and none of it is used. I have also tried to change it to a different disk within the same Cluster group but to no avail. I have even tried to install it in a different cluster group all together but I get the same error message.
I have googled around havent found anything so far. The disks have got full permissions for the account I am installing SQL with.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Adnan
Hi
I am newbie in SQL Clustering. I have set up a Windows Server Cluster with 2 nodes and am having the following problem with Physical Disk resource for cluster groups:
My Default Cluster Group (named Cluster Group) has IP Address, Network Name, Physical Disk and MSDTC resources. In addition to that my Default SQL Server instance resources are also in this group. I had this initial set up for Active/Passive mode.
Now I am trying to set up a SQL Cluster in Active/Active mode. For this I have to install another instance of SQL Server in the existing cluster and make a separate cluster group for its resources. I made a new cluster group (SQL Instance Group) with an IP Address and a Network Name resource for this new instance but I dont have any Physical Disk resource to allocate to it. As such while installing the SQL Server Instance I get stuck when I'm asked to select the quorum disk to be used.
Is it possible to configure two quorum disks, one for each group?
What's the concept of dedicated disks resource for each sql instance in a group? Is this same as the quorum disk? If this is not a shared disk how do I configure a dedicated disk resource for my second cluster group (SQL Instance Group)?
Anyone could please help me out with this?
Hi folks,
We are going thru the process of scoping an active/active cluster at one site.
I was wondering whether there will be any issues with mirroring (DB by DB) off the cluster into non clustered server at an alternate DRP site.

Hi all, My aim to install active/active 2 node SQL 2005 cluster. I have installed sql cluster on one mode, which automatically installed on node 2.
it works great. However When i tried to install second virtual server, it is not allowing me to install.
it says already install, can anyone tell me how to install active active cluster
I have the following tables in my DB
Employee table - This table has EmployeeID, Name, DOB.
EmployeeDesignation table - 1 Employee can have many designations with each having an effective date. There is no flag to indicate which among multiples is the current entry. You can only figure it out by the newest/oldest EffectiveDate. I want to get the most recent and the oldest for each employee.
EmployeeSalaryHistory table - Structure/Design is similar to EmployeeDesignation table. I want to get the starting salary and current salary for each employee.
I want my query to output me the following fields...
EmployeeID
EmployeeName
EmployeeDOB
EmployeeStartingDesignation
EmployeeCurrentDesignation
EmployeeStartingSalary
EmployeeCurrentSalary
Here is a piece of code to generate sample data sets
DECLARE @Employee TABLE (EmployeeID INT, EmployeeName VARCHAR (100), EmployeeDOB DATE)
INSERT @Employee VALUES (101, 'James Bond', '07/07/1945'), (102, 'Tanned Tarzan', '12/13/1955'), (103, 'Dracula Transylvanian', '10/22/1967')
DECLARE @EmployeeDesignation TABLE (EmployeeID INT, Designation VARCHAR (100), EffectiveDate DATE)
INSERT @EmployeeDesignation VALUES (101, 'Bond Intern', '01/01/1970'), (101, 'Bond Trainee', '01/01/1975'), (101, 'Bond...James Bond', '01/01/1985')
[Code] ....
Currently, I have a query to get this done which looks as below. Since I have more than 8K employees with each having multiple Designation and Salary entries, my query is taking forever.
selecte.EmployeeID, e.EmployeeName, e.EmployeeDOB,
(select top 1 Designation from @EmployeeDesignation ed where ed.EmployeeID = e.EmployeeID Order By EffectiveDate) EmployeeStartingDesignation,
(select top 1 Designation from @EmployeeDesignation ed where ed.EmployeeID = e.EmployeeID Order By EffectiveDate Desc) EmployeeCurrentDesignation,
[Code] ....
Hi,
We are trying to set up an active/active configuration of a SQL Server
cluster, and we had a few questions.
Initially, we want to have 2 Database Servers that would share the same
Database (both reading/writing to the same tables).
However, from reading the MS docs, we find out that we can have what
they call an "active/active" configuration using a Cluster but they
need to have 2 different disk sets, i.e. having 2 separate databases.
If this assumption is correct, how does the data get synchronised
between the 2 databases (that are on the 2 different disks sets)?
Can anyone help? thanks

ACTIVE/ACTIVE SQL Server 2000 Cluster
This was my plan.
Physical box - box1,box2
virtual box - virtual1
i have a active/passive cluster virtual1 (primary node box1, secondary box2)
I am creating another virtual box on box2 as primary node by name virtual2)
whenever my installation setup runs my default server name is greyed out. it always requires a instance name.
Is that the way it should work?
i can only use instance for active/active failover?
please advice
How do I install MSDTC in an active/active MSCS cluster environment?
If I run comclust.exe, I can only activate MSDTC on one of the nodes at a time.
I need DTC on both nodes.
(Opsys is W2K with SQL 2000)

Hello folks,
have you ever heard of an Active/Active SQL Sever 2000 Cluster deployed in a pure OLTP environment?
Some 8 years ago I have learned about a bespoke solution for the SAP ERP system (not the BW!) with DB2 Parallel Server for a huge German company. Then again, I would expect that Oracle RAC might fit into an OLTP environment, although I never heard about a real world implementation.
All this led me to believe clustering is good for failover purposes, and for decision support services, not quite for OLTP applications.
So if you see a point in Active/Active Clustering and OLTP please come forward and explain.
Cheers,
Johann
P.S: For those of you who want to know: Consultants from www.hiltes.com want us to deploy an Active/Active Cluster for their Fashion 3000 Net stock software.
We run several SQL 2000 SP4 instances on IA64 active/active cluster. The OS we run with is Windows Server 2003 SP1. We have different network cards : 2 network cards teamed for production purposes in domain X and 1 network card dedicated for problem solving in domain Y.
First we configured the cluster with only the 2 teamed network cards for production purposes in domain X. Later we introduced the second network card for problem solving in domain Y.
Everything looks fine. The (virtual) SQL instance listens on two different IP adresses on TCP port 1034. If we try to make connection via isql, EM or Query analyzer than we can directly contact the SQL instance from a workstation/server within domain X but this doesn't work form a workstation/server within domain Y. However if we use the specific TCP port in the connection in domain Y the connection is setup. We wish however not to use explicit TCP ports in setting up connections.
Has anyone experienced the same problem before or has anyone an idea how to solve the problem?
I have a 2005 active/active cluster and want to apply SQL server 2005 SP2 to both node.
I know that for active/passive , the sp can simple be installed on the active node(instance) and everything will be replicated to the other node.
bear in mind what I have SSIS and SSAS and SSRS running on the active/active cluster.
what is the rigth method for applying the SP to activeactive cluster?
Thanks
Hi
While configuring an active / active cluster, do I need to run the SQL setup on both nodes?
The SQL2K setup installs binaries on localdisks of both nodes - hence the question.

I have setup an active/active clustering environment for SQL Server, however it is 2 seperate virtual servers. How can I set them up to exist as one virtual server containing both active installations? Can this be done? I have two compaq 8500 w/8 processors each. I need to be able to cluster these configurations to take advantage of all 16 processors in one virtual SQL Server. Can it be done?
If you can answer these questions, you will have my undying gratitude.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
I am running some tests on SQL7 in an active/active cluster and have a couple of queries
1. When I create an ODBC DSN, why is the "Use the Failover SQL Server if the primary SQL Server" checkbox disabled
2. To test, I was running SQL queries from Access over the DSN created. When the Primary Server went down, I had to reconnect to re run the query - Is this normal?
3. Can someone point me to any documentation on the above scenario that would shed some more light?
Thanks

I currently have a two node HP hardware active/active cluster server. Running windows NT 4.0 Enterprise and dSQL server 6.5 sp 3. I want to upgrade the cluster to SQL 7. I would like to know if anyone ran into any problems or has sucessfully attempted this.
Also I read a few months ago about a gottcha involving NT sp4 and SQL sp5a that would prevent a node from failing over. Has this been corrected and does it affect SQL 7.
thanks
Hi
Is there anyone who knows where I can get some information about
installing an ACTIVE/ACTIVE SQL 2000 Cluster server (MSCS).
I have no problem setting up an active/passive failover cluster.
Where can I get more information? Do I need two instances? Two databases?
What's the difference between active/active and active/passive?
Thanks!
Hello, Can anyone please explain how the failover processes works on a sql server 2000 2 node active/active cluster.
Given the following
You have 2 node active/active cluster NodeA & NodeB
Question
1. How many SQL instances need to be installed on each node?
2. If the answer to question #1 is one instance per node, then
say if NodeA fails NodeB will take over all the resources of NodeA
including the master database, How does that work , how can once instance (in nodeB) handle two master database i.e its own master database and the one taken over from NodeA.
