Openrowset To Oracle Doesnt Work After Upgrading To SQL Server 2005
Jun 28, 2007
Hi,
I just upgraded to SQL server 2005 and some of my Openrowset to Oracle doesnt work. I found out that the issue occur with field with structure Numeric.
The issue is not solve even when I try to cast the field to varchar. sometimes it succeeded and sometimes I get error 7320 & 7321.
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) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16546 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312 Betriebssystem 6.0.6000
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.
I have reports developed in SQL Server 2005 (.rdl file) and using report viewer in my ASPX page.Now we have upgraded SQL Server 2005 to 2012, how I can use exsisting .rdl file or what change I need to do.

Ive tried to do a full followed straight after by a diff but doent help.
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.
The distributed query seems to work on the management studio of the server where I have linked the other server to but not accross the network on other management studio with the same impersonated logins. The error I get is.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "usbo-sql01" returned message "Communication link failure".

i am new at T-SQL and am trying to delete entries in a column that are not integers. i have the following code. why does it not work.
T-SQL
select invoicenumber from [control register] where convert(int, invoicenumber) like '%' if @@error > 0 begin delete from [control register] where invoicenumber = invoicenumber end go
gives me the error in Query analyser:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '10-3-05' to a column of data type int.
@@error is supposed to pick up the error. why is it not.
please could you reply urgently at chris@captivedesign.co.za
can someone tell me why this sql statement doesnt work?
SQL = "SELECT (Count(department_id) as 'totals' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '7'),(Count(department_id) as 'totals2' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '1') FROM nonconformance"
Can someone tell me why this thing in the end return Null?
declare @uz_id uniqueidentifier set @uz_id=null set @uz_id= case @Uz_ID when null then '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' else @Uz_ID end select @uz_id
...it should return '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' in my opintion
P.S. When I say return i mean the value that is shown after 'select @uz_id' is executed:)

I have the following in my commandtext but it doesnt seem to replace the LanguageColumnName variable: Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT '+@LanguageColumnName+' FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCode", MyConnection) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@UserCode", UserCode)) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LanguageColumnName", LanguageColumnName))I have tried '+@LanguageColumnName+' and also just @LanguageColumnName but this variable isnt replaced for some reason.The value of LanguageColumnName is "de"...the funny thing is that when I just type my command like the following it DOES work..:SELECT de FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCodeWhat am I doing wrong?

would it be a problem with the sdf file? help please!!!
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.
HI All,I have started sqlserver in single user mode and changed filename in sysaltfiles for tempdb too point to new location. While starting sqlserver in normal it points to the old path and doesnt get updated with the new path.1.)is there any systable still to be altered???2.) i have even tried alter database, doesnt work.3.)The master files have been taken from server1 (where tempdb points to d:data) to server2 ( where i need to point tempdb to point E:mssqldata). i can detach and attach msdb and model successfully, but in the case of tempdb, i cant either alter sysaltfiles or detach and attach tempdb to new path., too tired in trying all the possiblities... Is there any possibility to update tempdb to point to new path???
i've made a report containing a subreport. the subreport is in a table. the table headers should repeat. but if the subreport expands more than one site, the table header doesnt repeat.
okay. i could place the table header in report header, but in report header i cant use fields from a dateset.
hi, i hope this is the correct forum?i have developed a small asp.net 2.0 web site with vwd using sqlExpress which appears to just bean data file and a log file in my app_data directory. there are two databases, the users one that is created by the login manager and my own that i created to store data. this all works fine on my laptop. i have an xp-pro machine setup with IIS and the frontpage web extentions, i have also installed the .net framework v2.0 on it and done all the windows updates. i have given app_data read/write access for the aspnet and network service users.i used the copy site feature of vwd to install on the xp box and although the site seems to workwhen it needs to bind a gridview to my sqldatasource it gives an error Cannot open user default database. login failed.Loginfailed for user 'rlxpaspnet'Any ideas? i have googled and tried all sorts, but to no avail, so i throw my self on your mercy!Cheers,russ
I've a problem with my database. Till yesterday the option for Auto Grow of Database (10 %) was working very fine, but now it seems to be some problems with it. Finally I had to specify a restricted size for the database and then it again startd to give me some space in the database to write in. Ideally it should have worked automatically, isnt it ???
There is no problem with the space on the drive, I still have some 76 gb of free space there ...
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.
I have created a linked server on which following query works fine.
EXECUTE ('SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dummyOBJECTS') AT [REMOTE]
but the same statement executed with openquery
select * from openquery([remote],'select top 10 * from dummyObjects') returns following error.
Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "remote" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "dummyObjectID" (compile-time ordinal 1) of object "select top 10 * from dummyobjects" was reported to have a "Incomplete schema-error logic." of 0 at compile time and 0 at run time.
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!
Msg 1008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure P_SEL_ALLPERSONAS, Line 13
The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name.
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.
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
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?
I set up the "Send Email Task" succesfully with "SMTP Connection to myExchangeSERVER" using "Windows Authentication" However, as we all know - you can't have html format for the Send Mail Task. BUT this piece of code straight from MSDN doesnt work for me - each time it pops up this "Mail Sent Succesfully" - but I receive NO freaking EMAILs!!! Am I missing something or is it another one of those Microsoft "gotchas" ?

I found that this is some issue with SQL Server and is fixed in SP1 so i downloaded latest verstion of SQL Server Express Edition (which includeds SP1),
And it's still not working... Anybody knows the resolution ?
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.
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
Hello, Thanks for reviewing my question. I have installed VisualStudio 2005 on a computer and would like to know if I can install SQL 2005 Server and replace the SQL Express version? Will VS recognize it? Many Thanks to the Experts Peter
