Problem Installing SQL 6.5 Sp5a
Jul 28, 1999
While installing the service pack 5a, I had the following error
"setup could not be successfully completed,
ISQL.EXE could not be executed. Please check the relevant *.Out file.
Now I am unable to start up my SQL service. When I try to start it , I get the following message:
Error : 1105, Severity: 17, State: 2
Can't allocate space for object 'Syslogs' in database 'master' because the 'logsegment' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
Apparently 4 mb of free space in my master database was not enough for the service pack. I can't extend the size of my Master database because I can't get the SQL service to start.
Any suggestions?

we have a client that just upgraded to sp5a and are encountering problems...one stored procedure seems to routinely become corrupted, and does not complete correctly. however, it does not error out, and the only way to tell that it did not complete successfully it to query the data.
the only solution that i have found to this problem is to recreate the procedure. i have tried using sp_recompile to force a recompile at next runtime, and the problem still occurs. i have tried recreating the calling procedure, and recreating procedures it calls, but neither fix the problem.
after recreating the procedure, it continues to run fine for anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours, and then starts to fail again.
microsoft so far has not been able to give us help in diagnosing this, and i am coming up with nothing in my own investigations.
has anyone seen a problem like this in sp5a?
also, it is occurring on 5 similar dbs that are on the same server...
thanks

Hi
I've recently upgraded 4 sql servers to sp5a and have just found that BCP fails on all of them with a DR Watson error. I did reinstall the Nt sp after installing sql server sp5a.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Got the following message while trying to apply sp5a:
"Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
ISQL.EXE could not be executed. Please check the relevant .OUT file."
And yes, i did check the readme file, but found no problem in the PATH variable.
(unless I'm looking at it wrong!)
Please help!

I am trying to apply SQL Server Service Pack 5a to my original SQL
Server 6.5 but an error keeps coming up "Setup initialization could not
be successfully executed. ISQL,EXE could not be executed.Pls check
relevant .out file".
The last line of the relevant .out file produced by this error is:
You cannot run SELECT INTO this database. The DBO would have to run
sp_dboption to enable this option.
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Server REYWINNT, Procedure sp_helpsort, Line
295
I would appreciate any help to solve my problem
Thanks a lot

I have a third party app that has been 'certified' by the vendor on SQL 6.5 SP5. We are aware of the dump database issues when using SP5 and Enterprise Manager. We would like to use SP5a to get around those issues.
Is anyone aware of any other 'bugs' or problems that have come about in SP5a....
Thanks tons!

Is there a proper order to installing SQL SP5a. Should you reinstall NT SP4 after you install
the SQL SP5a?

I've got a script that runs regularly to monitor log space usage on a SQL 6.5 sp5a server. Where the log space usage is greater than 75% it then dumps the log. However the Enterprise Manager screen still shows usage as being above 75%. I'm aware that I need to run dbcc checktable(syslogs) to have EM reflect the change, and my question is:
Within my sql script how do I switch context to the database where I need to run the dbcc checktable(syslogs) command?

I currently have SP5 in a folder on the server desktop. MSSQL Server is installed on drive E:
Running setup, it finds SQL Server and shuts it down. It then returns errors about not being able to find files, though the files are actually there.
I appologize for the brain-cramps, as I know this has been discussed before, but I need HELP ASAP.
Thanks

I run replication among several SQL 6.5 Servers with SP3. Recently,
I've applied SP5a to publisher/distributor. After that, some publications
continued to replicate normally, but two of them started to act strangely -
the distribution tasks end succesfully, but it seems that no transactions
were marked for replication.
After investigating a bit, I've found that the data that continued to
replicate normally is modified by stored procedures, while problematic
tables are updated directly. Then I've tried to run isql/w updates against
problematic tables - all the changes were succesfully applied to the
subscribers. The other difference between problematic and non-problematic
tables is their size - problematic tables are much bigger and more
frequently updated.
All the subscribers are still SQL 6.5 Servers with SP3. One of them
is also a publisher that uses SP5a-upgraded SQL Server as remote
distributor. Its publications replicate OK.
I'd appreciate any explanation of the above.
Thanks

I've installed SQL Server Service pack 5a on our test lab Database and have come up with problems with my protocol. Everything works fine IF I set the Net Library to Named pipes. But before the service patch, I was running Multi-Protocol WITH TCP/IP (much faster). How can I make SQL use Multi?
Using Named pipes screws up my replication. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Andrew
P.S. I also have SP4 on WindowsNT.

Hi:
I installed SQL sp5a on most SQL servers with no error. However, one server, a special application failed after upgrading to sp5a.
Is there a way to uninstall sp5a and back to sp3 without re-install entire SQL 6.5 on this particular machine?
thanks in advance

I am having problems with stack dumps (as many as 12 a day) at a production site running NT 4.0 SP4 with Sql Server 6.5 SP5A. I've tried running every diagnostic utility on the server but it shows no problems. Before I open a ticket with Microsoft on the stack dumps, I'd like to upgrade the server to NT Service Pack 6A. My question is, do I need to re-install SqlServer SP5A? Will the NT Service Pack 6A invalidate SQL SP5A?
TIA,
Mike

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to SQL 6.5- sp5a. I run DBCC TEXTALL as part of my nightly maintenance. Our db is about 3 GB and is heavy on text
fields. Since the upgrade, DBCC TEXTALL hangs up the server until I reboot it. The last message in the error log is "Warning:
out of RA slots... comfigure more RA slots." (or something like that). This never happened before.
BOL says don't monkey with the RA slots per thread, so
I've been adjusting the number of RA worker threads. I raise it, bounce SQL SERVER, and try to run the DBCC TEXTALL again.
Same results. Eventually I got up to 10 RA worker threads, at which point I got an "IO buf_wait" error, which also hung up the server.
I've read that increasing RA worker threads will eventually run you out of buffer space, and it looks like that's what happened.
I'm beginning to think that the problem isn't really with isn't really with the number of RA worker threads I have configured,
but rather with something that sp5a changed. Or maybe DBCC TEXTALL is running into some sort of corruption it can't handle...
Or something...
So, I'm reading up on the relationship between buffer cache, RA, etc., but
the sad fact is that information on that low down level is hard to find, and I don't understand most of it anyway.
Any suggestions, reading recommendations, comments, or jeers would be highly appreciated.

When running Enterprise Manager from my desktop pc to try and expand a database device I am unable to do so. The size shown is negative, and the max size is the same, with the 'Change Now' box greyed out.
When I log on directly onto the server I can easily expand the db device. There is lots of free space on the server.
Our set up is quite small with four NT workstations and two NT servers with SQL Server 6.5 on them. All these six machines are in the same workgroup. The workstations are on a separate floor to the servers, which are in the computer room. I have a feeling this is a networking issue. Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

Hi,
Has anyone encountered this?
After applying SP 5a I found out that my SQL strings with sums and groups produced double rows. I found out that grouping one column (type CHAR(6)) produced two distinct rows of the equal values.
All the values in that column have 4 characters, but it seemed like some distinct values were grouped by the whole field length i.e 6 characters. I haven't seen earlier that those blanks after field value change the grouping results.
When I transferred the table and data to old SQL Server without any SPs, query showed distinct values correctly.
The sort order and other settings are the same. Can anyone tell where to look for help?
TIA, Al

Has anyone gotten clustering to work via the Cluster Wizard in SP5a?
I've got two ProLiant 5500's with the Compaq Clustering S/100 option. I've done a fresh install of NT Enterprise 4.0 SP3, then installed clustering with the Compaq S/100 drivers... everything fails over nicely, can make shares off the virtual server, etc. I then install SQL Server 6.5 EE, then apply SP5a -- so far, so good.
Now I try to run the clustering wizard. The wiz prompts me for my SA password. I enter it, and it gives me a message box that it can't start or log onto the database... but when I look in the event log it appears to have logged on successfully with a Non-trusted connection.
Thanks for the help...

Hello,
Just in case anybody has had this problem after applying service pack 5a.
a stored procedure that sets serial numbers on records on a temporary table is skipping every other record.
I ran the code manually on isql and could not replicate the error, however when re-compiled on stored procedure it fails misserably.
when is Microsoft going to release a service pack that actually works?
Did you know that Executive does not recognize 2000 as a leap year?
If anybody has any suggestions on this problem, besides the obvious (using a real table) please write back
thanks.

Is it possible to install and configure the MSDTC resource in a SQL Server 2000 cluster after SQL is installed and running?
When I recently went through a rebuild of my cluster, I forgot to install the resource before installing SQL Server. Now, if I install and bring online the MSDTC resource the SQL disk groups will not fail over correctly. The SQL Server resource will not come online.
Thanks in advance for any help. I would really like to avoid rebuilding again.

So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!

Whenever we install SQL Server 7.0 on a box with 6.5 on it, the installation always fails at the last hurdle. It gives the following error:
Microsoft SQL Server Version Switch
An error occured which prevented a succesfull version switch. Please make sure the Registry Editor, Query Analyzer and ISQL are closed, and try running vswutch.exe again.
We've followed all technet article recommendations to no avail. Any ideas ?

I've been trying to re-install 7.0(on my test server) but duuring the wizard setup it says:
"Unable to find path HKEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLSERVERSe tup.
A uninstall was done but I don't understand why it won't just install from the
CD.
Also How can you change the server name in EM, under the SQL Server Group
you have the server name, i.e ServerA. When I put 2000 on the same machine that wouldn't do the re-install for 7.0 it shows the server name as ServerAServerA and I just want to rename it to ServerA. But in EM under 'Registered SQL Server Properties' the server name field is not active for modification.
I would appreciate any help to the up-most. Thanks

I installed SQL 7.0 in windows 2000, at first it was working fine but after a few hours it cannot connect to my database.
I reformat my pc coz I was so desperate to make it work but after reformatting SQL won't work still. It cannot connect with my database which is also the same computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it over and over but I still face the same problem.
The SQL Server Service Manager there's nothing in the Service boxes.

Hello:We just leased a dedicated server and now want to install SQL Server2000. We though we could just copy the contents of the CD to a folderon the server and run AUTORUN. While it does load the splash screen,when we click install SQL Server Components, the demoshield splashscreen comes up and then disappears. The install stops.Any ideas? Is this even possible?Thanks in advance.Jason Sweet

Hello, I know that IIS needs to be installed in order to utilize SQL Server Reporting Services. My question is, can the installation of IIS be automated so that I am not relying on end-users who are not that computer literate to install IIS?
Thanks in advance!
