I have lost the ability to query any table in my database using the Query Designer/table viewer in Enterprise Manager.
I get the following error:
Query Designer has encountered an error. Unspecified error.
I can still query the table from SQL Query Analyzer and the client front end.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Hi,
I get this error dialog when I try to open all the rows of any table from Enterprise manager..
Any help would be really appreciated..
Thanks,

I am trying to run queries against any of the user tables in my MS SQL 7.0 database. I get a message the Query Designer encountered a query error.
We have tried rebooting the SQL Server and I am still getting these messages. Also, the SQL error logs look fine - all database
maintenance are running successfully including the DBCCs which show no errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are to go
into production in a few days.
Hello all
I've got SQL Server 7.0 SP1 installed (in a NT4 SP6 environment).
Recently, it came up with error whenever I try to open a table or a view (return all rows) inside the Enterprise Manager. The descriptive (NOT!) error message is like this:
"The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not registered", and on pressing "help",
the help files report
"Query Designer cannot locate your query files and cannot run your query"
I have tried re-booting the machine and upgrading mmc.exe to version 1.2 (from 1.1), but both in vain.
Can anyone shed some lights please?

Checked out BOL on this issue, but not enough info received to troubleshoot. Hoping someone out there has some input.
This issue is only happening on the server side not the client. Also, it suddenly appeared on three different machines.
Query Designer:
"An unexpected error happened during this operation" [Query} - Query Designer encountered a Query error: Unspecified error.
The how: In a database, go to tables and select a table known to have data right click on mouse and select Open Table, return all rows. This is when the error appears.
BOL states the the file may be corrupt or from a non-supported version of SQL Server EM. Nothing was installed on these servers and we're still on SP2. This error just all of a sudden appeared and spread to 3 different machines...
Another issue is the Return to Top function is disabled. This function provides the maximum number of rows to fetch.
Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks.
When I try to Return All Records in a table, I receive the error "Query Designer encountered a query error: unspecified error." I can successfully view the design of the table just not the records themselves. This is happening in all of my tables in all dbases.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Here is an example of what I am exactly doing!! CREATE VIEW NamesAS SELECT ID, fName, lName FROM Table1 UNION ALL SELECT id, FirstName, LastName FROM TABLE2. On Executing this...I'm getting the following error.
The Query Designer does not support the UNION SQL construct:
We hit this error about 2 weeks ago on SQL Server 2000 and it seems to be getting worse.
We have a table that stores phone numbers (wtns). We have a number of pages that query this table. I can sit and click a link that queries this table over and over and finally after about 40-50 clicks, it will fail and repeatedly fail for about a minute with:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'Unspecified error
If our system is busy, I can get to the error much quicker. The strange thing is this table and these pages have not been modified, some of them haven't been touched in years so these queries worked just fine for that long until Dec 4th when the problems started (nothing significant happened that day or prior to that either).
I have the SQL Profiler running and what I see is the SELECT stmt completes just fine. The stmt looks as expected and I can even run it manually and it works fine. Then I see a series of audit login audit logout pairs in the profiler but nothing else, where I would expect to see more Queries from that page on other tables.
If I go to any of the 5 pages or so that has a similar query to this table, I can get the same error. No other table in our DB causes this problem. There is no problem cleaning up the connection/resultset either.
Any ideas where to look? We've done alot recently to try and fix it:
Reinstalled MDAC, reinstalled SQL Server SP, increased memory, shrunk the trans log, reindexed the table, changed the cursor around (made it readonly as it initally wasn't), modified permissions. Nothing seems to work.
This is on SQL Server 2000MDAC 2.81.1128.0Windows 2000 SP4IIS
Our Connection string looks like the following:
Session("Conn") = "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=DS20021218001;DATABASE=ODB;UID=webUser;PWD=***
Any ideas on where to go next? What to try?
thank you
I have a DTS to transfer logins from one server to a another server. I have put the syslogins.dat file in the share directory. But this DTS is giving 'Unspecified Error'. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
We have a system that has been running for years and some of the .asp pages haven't been touched in years, but about 10 days ago the same SQL stmts that have always been there have been returning
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
Unspecified error
This is on SQL Server 2000
MDAC 2.81.1128.0

The problem is this occurs at random. The statement will execute 5x, then fail once, then run 2 more times and fail again. There isn't a problem with the SQL itself as the same Select stmt will fail or pass randomly. I can also take and execute the stmt manually and it will also pass. There are about 5 places it occurs in our pages. Here is on particular example. Note that DataRS("acc_num") is a valid value and will return just fine if I manually execute it and will pass probably 75% of the time as it is, but 25% of the time will fail with above error.
CMD = "SELECT TOP 1 id, acc_num, businessType, mdCountry, cust_lec, First_Name, Last_Name FROM accounts WHERE (Acc_Num = '" & DataRS("acc_num") & "')"
AccRS.Open CMD, DBConn, adOpenForwardOnly
Not sure at all what is causing this. I've haven't been able to find anything conclusive in the SQL Profiler either.
Any ideas?
Is this the correct version of MDAC? I tried to get the latest, but it was an earlier version .1117.
thanks
Gday.
I'm writing a PDA app which has an SQL CE database on the storage card. Under certain circumstances, I get an Error Code 80004005 ; "Unspecified Error" exception (henceforth referred to as "The Error".
I can write to a certain table (the only one which has a problem) many times on the first run of the app since the database was created. However if I exit and reload the app, the error starts hapenning. It does not go away until I delete the database and re-create it.
The database has a password (I've tried with and without this to no avail) and the temp file is being stored on the Storage Card (the PDA itself doesn't have enough memory).
I have been extensively searching the net for existing solutions. I found this one from microsoft,
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=919150) which suggests the PDA is coming out of suspend mode and trying to access the Storage Card. This sounds reasonable and similair to my case. I would like to change my code so it is not coming out of suspend mode (instead of trying to find that hotfix) but I don't know what suspend mode is. The code is being called from a button's handler. This sounds like it is coming out of suspend mode, doesn't it?
Has anyone else seen this? It has brought my project to a grinding halt and I can not see anything wrong with my code (it's doing the same insert command I've done a million times before on other tables).
Thanks in advance for any help!

I am using SQL 2000 (SP4) and trying to save a DTS Package. When I do that it gives me an error:

Hello, we've developed an application that runs on AXIM X51, if it is an important to know.
The data layer handles the connection using the singleton pattern, a bit of code of this is:
(....)
Private Shared ceConnection As SqlCeConnection
(....)
Public Shared Function GetConnection() As SqlCeConnection
Try
If (ceConnection Is Nothing) Then
ceConnection = New SqlCeConnection(Me.connectionString)
End If
If (ceConnection.State = ConnectionState.Closed) Then
ceConnection.Open()
End If
Return ceConnection
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Function
(....)
So far nothing strange. We started experiencing problems when the end-users get an "Unspecified error" which later debugging it we got the href value inside the exception object is -2147467259 and nothing else. And if that wasn't enough I couldn't replicate the error in my pocket.
The only way I got the same error was removing the SD Card where the db is located at the same time the application was still open.
Does anybody experienced the same problem??? I researched about this kind of errors "when the device is just restored from the suspend mode" but with out luck.
Please, I really appreciate any help with this issue. Any comment will be more than welcome.
hello all
i m getting the following error while exporting an excel file in SSIS
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
is this a bug?
pls suggest a workaround.
Greetings:
We have a database with approximately 15-20 tables. Last week, using Enterprise Manager, we were able to open any of these tables and return all rows. Yesterday, when we tried to do this, we got the following message:
An Unexpected Error happened during this operation.
[Query] - Query Designer encountered a Query Error: Unspecified Error
Can anyone tell me what might be causing this and how to fix it? Barring that, can anyone suggest some general steps I might take to possibly eliminate this problem without knowing the cause? Last, can you point me to a good resource for investigating problems of this kind, such as a knowledge base (other than Microsoft's TechNet)?
Many, many thanks.
Hello All,
I need you help badly. Iam a student and iam working on "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx . This tutorial works fine until
Create the publication snapshot
In SQL Server Management Studio, in Object Explorer, expand the (local) computer node.
Expand the Local Publications folder, select the publication name, right-click SQLMobile, and then click View Snapshot Agent Status.
In the View Snapshot Agent Status dialog box, click Start.
Make sure that the snapshot job has succeeded before you continue.
When I try to create a snapshot iam getting the following error "An unspecified error had occurred in the native SQL Server connection component." . I have no clue what to do next please help me out.
Hi all
When using a subscription to send mail, I find that the report can be sent in any format apart from Excel, which gives me the error: "Failure sending mail: Unspecified error". As you can imagine, this doesn't give me much to go on!
I want to use Excel format as it retains the drilldown functionality (hiding / unhiding rows). The ExecutionLog has the status as rsSuccess, but Subscription tab for the report shows the error.
Any thoughts would be most welcome!
Hi,
Inside a single transaction I'm inserting/updating multiple records into multiple tables, in this order:
table 1 record 1
table 2 record 1
table 3 record 1
table 1 record 2
table 2 record 1
table 1 record 3
table 2 record 3
table 3 record 3
Now I'm getting an unspecified error on a certain table:
Unspecified error [ 3,-1300704038,-1834095882,activitypointerBase,x lock (x blocks),PAG (idx): 1078 ]
From msdn I see that:
PAG (idx) means a lock on an index page.
x lock means an exclusive lock:
Indicates a data modification, such as an insert, an update, or a deletion. Ensures that multiple updates cannot be made to the same resource at the same time. (I assume that multiple updates within the SAME transaction can be made, only multiple updates from different transaction cannot be made, right?)
I cannot find any reference to this error message and don't know what the numbers mean. Maybe it relates to data that can be found in the sys.lock_information table like explained here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172932.aspx, but I'm not sure.
Furthermore, the sys.lock_information table is empty. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself. I only received an error log and the database to investigate it.
So, does anybody have an idea what this error message means and what I can do to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeffry
I have ran into the same problem ... Importing from Access into SQL 2005 using SSIS and get the error:
[Connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
Does any one know of a way that a group of my developers can use this without giving them access to the rest of Enterprise manager?
Want to give them access to write queries and they are all Access developers so that I have to do as little training as possible then letting them have Query designer would keep them in their nice little world without hassing me to much.
Cheers for any help.

In SQL 2000 the query designer could be opened and the query type changed to create an INSERT.
Is this feature still available in SQL 2005?
If so, how do I open the query designer and change query types?
Thanks
I use the Report Wizard to generate reports. Within the "Design the Query" screen, I try the query statement as :
exec mydb.dbo.rptSales @fortheyear
It shows me an error: Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to smallint is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
The stored procedure of rptSales is
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.rptSales
@pyear smallint=null
AS
.......
The rptSales has been tested OK on SQL Server Management Studio.
Actually, I have other similiar stored procedures using smallint as a parameter, and I can use the Report Wizard to generate reports, except the above one.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot,
Joe.
Hello everybody!
I've already posted this question before but this error never been resolved.
My DTS designer is totally screwed.
When trying to create new local package getting error message "Could not create Component Categories Manager".
I can't even use DTS to copy data in using DTS wizard.
Somebody recommended to reinstall SQL Server which I did but it didn't solve my problem.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
My database has just recentrly been upgraded to SQL 2005 and i have noticed a change in the interface when writing a query in "Query Designer"
For one of our tables we have a 'Time' field. I know that time only doesnt exist yet and upon insertion a default date of 30/12/1899 is automatically inserted. Im happy with that!
My concern is with Query Designer. If i build a query using the criteria grid and for the time field i filer on >=13:00:00 (example), the SQL that it creates looks like this:
(TIME >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '2007-10-17 13:00:00', 102))
As you can see is automatically inserts the current date instead of 30/12/1899. This obviously causes my sql to not work unless i manually change the date in the SQL to 1899-12-30
In SQL 2000 i did not have to do this, it would automatically write the SQL as :
(TIME >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '1899-12-30 13:00:00', 102))
Even if i enter 30/12/1899 13:00:00 into the criteria grid it still converts to current date.
Is there a setting somewhere for the Query Designer so that it defaults to 30/12/1899??
Regards,
Eddie S
Hello,
I am trying to use following IIF Statement in Query designer but getting error message saying "Incorrect syntax

Can anyone please help, perhaps correct the statement for me?

I am having a problem with what appears to be a very trivial task in the graphical query designer. When I enter =@County into the filter column quotes are automatically added like = '@County' which the makes the query string inaccurate (looking for a literal County = "@County" in the where clause).
I am using Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 with the newest service packs and retreiving data from an Oracle 10G database.
If I remove the quotes and run the query through the generic query designer in my SQL reporting project I get the error "ORA-00936: missing expression".
It is as if the SQL Reporting Project does not understand the meaning of the @ symbol for entering a parameter.
What am I missing here? I thought @ specified that this would be a parameter and you then just needed to supply the values for the parameter.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
