SQL Server 2005 Installation Vista (+SP2), No Services, Doesnt Work

Nov 16, 2007



While installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on Windows Vista Ultimate
the setup alerts me "there are known compatibility problems, please
install SP2 after this". So ok, all went nice and installed without error.
IIS 7 installed fully, so all green in setup display.
(But after installation i do not see any service which begins with SQL***...)
At the end, the setup wanted to start the administration Tool.
Ok, but my name was not listed, so i could not add me to the permitted users.
I can not use any tool, because i have no rights.

Some Ideas?

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services-Clienttools 2005.090.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)

Oracle Linked Server Connection Error After Upgrading To SQL 2005

Mar 14, 2007

Hello all.

I upgraded a SQL 2000 installation to SQL 2005 this past weekend. Minimal issues overall, but one that did crop up relates to a linked server to an Oracle database. The linked server worked before the upgrade, and stopped working immediately after.

We're running on Windows 2003 x64, latest service pack. The linked server is set up using the MSDAORA provider. The error I'm getting post-upgrade is:

=====================

OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "PROD" returned message "ORA-06413: Connection not open.".

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure RDM_GET_REP_LIST_SP, Line 12

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "PROD".

=====================

A tnsping from the server works fine. I've also tried recreating the linked server. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know what other information would be useful.

Thanks,

Adam

Any Idea Why OpenRowSet To Open Excel File Doesn't Work Well In SQL 2005?

Mar 3, 2007

Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below

select top 10 *
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010
eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')


I got error

OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".


but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.

Any idea?

A MergeJoin Using Two Fields Doesnt Work !

Jul 5, 2007

Hi,

I have an issue. When I am performing a Merge Join using two fields of type
DT_WSTR on both sides of the Join, the Dataviewer after the Join only shows the left side 2 key
fields having values populated but both fields from the right hand side as being NULL. The Dataviewers I put in before the join show both sides of the join fields being populated ( 2 sides x 2 fields ). If I remove one of the fields from the join it shows both fields from the left side and the right side of the join being populated . I am trying to knock out duplicate values from the insert using 'genuine' Nulls from the right hand side so I need both parts of the 'Key'. I have checked the adnvanced tab that ignores Case etc but has had no effect.

I am using the technique from here : http://www.sqlis.com/311.aspx

Is this an SSIS bug ??? It is driving me up the wall.

Help would be much appreciated please.

Thanks
Jon

-T 1400 Doesnt Work On Named Instances

May 6, 2006

Hello, I tried this and it doesnt work, I just started up the service with -T flag on default instance but I havent been able to start it with -T flag 1400 on named instances.



How can I Know that the directory MSSQL.4 is the MIRROR instance??



C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinn>sqlservr.exe -T
1400 MIRROR

I tried LUCHOMIRROR, MSSQLSERVER$MIRROR

and It doesnt work



Thanks



Another question I have, in the documentation it says that mirroring is only for evaluation purposes and not for production environments, what does it suppose to mean? MSFT didnt test the mirroring feature enough? If its not suppoerted why its included..?



Microsoft support policies do not apply to the database mirroring feature in SQL Server 2005. Database mirroring is currently disabled by default, but may be enabled for evaluation purposes only by using trace flag 1400 as a startup parameter. (For more information about trace flags, see Trace Flags (Transact-SQL).) Database mirroring should not be used in production environments, and Microsoft support services will not support databases or applications that use database mirroring. Database mirroring documentation is included in SQL Server 2005 for evaluation purposes only, and the Documentation Policy for SQL Server 2005 Support and Upgrade does not apply to the database mirroring documentation.

2 Tables = Redundant Data/ DISTINCT Doesnt Work

Apr 27, 2008

Hello everybody,

have following problem:

I need info from 2 Tables. from the Table 2 I just need 1 column. When i ask for this column the output I get is data repeating themselve many times.

Distinct, should give me unique data, but is doesnt....
the code:

SELECT DISTINCT FSenddate, FSupplyIDName, FSupplyerNumber,FBillNo,FSourceBillNo,FItemName,FItemModel,
FAuxQty,FAuxTaxPrice,FHeadSelfP0237
FROM vwICBill_26
WHERE FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()

This code just works in Table1 (vwICBill_26)

but with table 2 (vwICBill_1)

SELECT DISTINCT vwICBill_26.FSenddate,vwICBill_26.FSupplyIDName,
vwICBill_26.FSupplyerNumber,vwICBill_26.FBillNo,
vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo,vwICBill_26.FItemName,
vwICBill_26.FItemModel,vwICBill_26.FAuxQty,
vwICBill_26.FAuxTaxPrice,vwICBill_26.FHeadSelfP0237,
vwICBill_1.FDate,vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo
FROM vwICBill_26,vwICBill_1
WHERE vwICBill_26.FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo=vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo

The last sentence is the problem
I want that it shows me the data that is not equal.
As soon as I implement the not equal it shows me the massive repeating data.
I mean even without the last sentence I get this data output.

All together, I want a clear database output without data repeating.
Any ideas how it may work without DISTINCT?


I think this problem is a typical amateure problem, but I would apreciate help!

Logging Of SSIS Package Doesnt Work When Executed As A Job

Mar 31, 2006

I am having the same problems as those in another post. SSIS package works fine when executed in BIDS and through execute package utility but it doesnt work when executed as a step in a job.

The other problem is that the logging also doesnt work when i try executing it as a job. So I have no clue about what to do without knowing what error it is. When I run the job it simply says the step has failed.

I have tried most of the solutions posted in other websites most of them to do with using proxies with credentials but havent hit a solution. I would love to get any input on what to do.

Setting ReportViewer URI And Path In Designer Works, C# Doesnt Work

Feb 26, 2008

in both vs2008 I added a ReportViewer control to my WinForm, intending to render an RS 2005 report remotely. In the design pane (Report Viewer Tasks Popup) I specify <server report>,
URL http://server name/reportserver$instance name
path /folder/report name

and everything is fine.

When I set these values in c# as

reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://server name/reportserver$instance name");

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/folder/report name";

I started getting a msg saying "the source of the report definition has not been specified". If I hit refresh, the report renders. Before I started playing with the designer setting, and only had the c# stuff specified, I wouldnt even get the message, the control would appear with all RS buttons (eg page forward arrow etc) disabled.

Does anybody know why the message is appearing and how to get c#'s settings to work immediately like designer settings?

Can't Install 2005 SQL Server Management Studio, It Doesnt Show Up. What A Joke!

Nov 1, 2007


Hello I have wasted several hours on this simple problem and I'm ready to give up. I simply want SQL Server Management Studio on my laptop so I can connect to our 2005 servers and manage them. I have several different versions of 2005 from our MSDN subscription including but not limited to:

SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition (MSDN Library DVD)
SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition
SQL 2005 Standard Edition
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition)

Everytime I tried to install it, the Server Management Studio simply would not install. I looked for the exe files and didn't find them. I verified the path several times and they simply didn't install. I googled and found a few solutoins but none helped. For example on:
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/name/archive/2007/09/24/Installing-SQL-Server-Management-Studio-with-SQL-Server.aspx

They stated to go to the 'Tools' folder on the CD and run it from there, I do not have these folders on my SQL 2005 CD/DVDs. I tried to reinstall it a few times with selection only the management tools for the client, but it thinks I have SQL 2005 installed!!! I uninstalled it from add/remove, and it didn't work. I deleted the folders and it didn't work. I ran

msicuu2.exe and that still isn't working.

Are there ANY suggestions on how to get this freaking Server Management Studio installed? MS really blew it on this one. Thanks in advance.

Problem Making Oracle Linked Server Work

Jul 23, 2005

Hi all,I set up our Oracle Financials as a linked server to one of my SQLServer boxes. On running a test query, I got the following errormessage:OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column.Metadata information was changed at execution time.OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'TEST_NUM'(compile-time ordinal 2) of object '"MYUSER"."TEST_LINK"' was reportedto have aDBTYPE of 130 at compile time and 5 at run time].The Oracle datatype of the column with the supposedly inconsistentmetadata was NUMBER, which according to the Oracle OLE DB documentationactually maps to 139. 130 is a null-terminated unicode characterstring, 5 is a float, and 139 is a variable-length, exact numeric valuewith a signed scale value. Oracle NUMBER is an all-purpose numerictype, apparently they use that instead of int, float, etc. The Oracleguy used it for this column in the test table because in OF it is usedin pretty much every table. (For starters it is the datatype of theiridentity columns.)There is something in the OLE DB spec about all datatypes having to beable to be expressed as DBTYPE_WSTR (130), but what I don't get is thatI can connect to the same Oracle instance using VB6 code and theMSDAORA provider and there is no problem at all interpreting the NUMBERcolumns. So why does it work from VB and not as a linked server? Andmuch more importantly, HOW DO I MAKE THE LINKED SERVER WORK?TIA
