Random Error

Aug 9, 2007

I created a custom forms authentication extension following the example MS provided with the reporting services 2005 system. Now randomly I get these errors from the system in production.

w3wp!library!5!08/07/2007-08:58:06:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InternalCatalogException: An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details., ;

but I have no idea how to track down what caused it, where, or how to debug it.. it has a mdmp file created for the error.. but never use them to debug or even know how to use it in debugging... any ideas on where to look for what would cause an internal catalog exception? thanks

ERROR [HY000] Or ERROR [23000] At Random Times When Using Sql Native Client Via ODBC

Apr 16, 2008

The following (VB.Net) code causes exceptions at seemingly random times.
Any suggestions?
Not sure if the problem is in .Net's ODBC support or in Sql Native Client.

If MARS is off, usually after less than 100 loops:



Code Snippet

System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException was unhandled
ErrorCode=-2146232009
Message="ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Connection is busy with results for another command"
Source="SQLNCLI.DLL"
Turning MARS is on bypasses that error, so it will sometimes survive a thousand or so runs before hitting:

testcmd2.Dispose()
testcmd2 = Nothing

'connection.Close()
'GC.Collect()

'Console.Write(".")
run_count += 1
End While

End Sub

End Module

Usually the ".Update" triggers the exception, but sometimes the other sql commands do it.
Have tried various experiments with disposing of objects immediately when finished, but no effect.
Opening and closing the connection each loop seems to delay the errors, but it still happens eventually.

Returning Random Records And NOT Similar (random Questions)

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

Random Unspecified Error

Dec 17, 2007

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
Windows 2000 SP4
IIS

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

Random Ambiguous Column Name Error

Mar 7, 2008

Hi

I have a query that is exhibiting a strange behaviour on different databases.

I've got something like this ...


select a.col, ...
from tab1 as a inner join ...
union
select a.col, ...
from tab1 as a inner join ...
order by col

I know how to fix the problem, I make the last line read "order by a.col" ... that is understood.

However, on some databases I get an error and on others I don't. All databases are on the same server instance which is sql server 2005 developer (developer version isn't relevant as it happens on customer machines too).

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas why it is 'random'. It's as though the statement is being compiled differently on different databases ... what is influencing that ?

I'm fishing for a way to create a workaround, so if anyone has any ideas it might push me down the road of understanding why.

The real code is way too big to include here and it's not really relevant.


As a clue to what I'm looking for, if I copy the database to another database using SSIS, the resultant database doesn't cause the error despite being logically the same.

Presumably it is some physical or security difference that is causing the error to occur.

Thanks if you have any ideas,

Richard.

Random Error Occurred While Attempting To Perform A Type Cast, Why?

Apr 17, 2008



Hi all!

I´m having some trouble with a SSIS package that I´ve been using five months or so now.

I have a package scheduled to run every 2 minutes to load data into my SQL Server instance
from our mobile computer systems. This data comes is read as flat file sources. My package runs 24/7.

My problem is that this package randomly returns "An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast". This message is then returned during maybe 3 or 4 executions of the package. The error then vanishes into thin air, without me doing anything what so ever, and execution continues. The very same file that previously returned the errors is now processed without any problems.

I have no clue why this is, but I get the feeling that there has to be a reason for these random errors. To me, the type cast error seems to indicate problems with the data source (the flat file), but since the same file suddenly get processed without errors I have no clue where to start looking.

Anyone having the same issue?

Regards,

Daniel

Flat File Random Import Error With Ole Db Destination Object

Mar 12, 2008

Hello,
I get errors during import process from flat files to sql table (random missing rows) when I have more files to load through a "for each loop" cycle.
If one of the files is not present (because not yet generated by an other process) many of the rows present in the next file are skipped during import operation. This happens even if the "maximumErrorCount" is set to 10000.
The error reported is Warning: 0x8020200F at Import File Bolle , Source_Bolle [1]: There is a partial row at the end of the file
Sql 2005 has Service Pack 2 installed.
Can some one help me?
Thanks and regards

Random Error 513 Insert Or Update Conflicts With Previous Create Rule

Jan 4, 2007

Hello,

I use ODBC driver to perform SQLServer commands from C/C++ application.

An "INSERT INTO <table> (<column>) VALUES (NULL)" command has a random behavior in a SQL2000 Server running on WindowsXP.

The <column> in this command has 2 definitions about the NULL value :

- the NULL is accepted in the table definition, with <column> ut_oui_non NULL".

- the NULL is rejected in the type definition, with EXEC sp_addtype ut_oui_non, 'char(1)', 'NOT NULL' and a rule to check values with '0' or '1'

1/ The column definition in any explorer show the NULL from table deffinition

2/ The "INSERT INTO" is completed in SQL Query tool, used on Windows2000 and WindowsXP computers, connected to the same SQL2000 server.

3/ The "INSERT INTO" is completed in the application, running on Windows2000 with an ODBC driver to the same SQL2000 server.

4/ The "INSERT INTO" is rejected in the application, running on WindowsXP witjh an ODBC driver to the same SQL2000 server. The error 513 means that INSERT VALUES conflicts with previous rule. So only the type definition seems to be used.

But :

5/ This is a random error, and some INSERT with the same values in this column are completed.

6/ This random error seems to be discarded by using the "Use NULLs, paddings and warnings ANSI" checkbox in the ODBC driver user source configuration.

This checkbox is only use for enforcing the ANSI syntax in SQL commands, and has no known effect on type checking.

Do you know about any conflict of column NULL value between a type definition and a table definition ?

DTS Bug? (or Random Feature?)

Jul 16, 1999

Has anyone noticed that if you created DTS package and try to
change connection properties (i.e. change DSN or redirect
DTS to different server or Database), as soon you click OK
it does not save new password and hence does not work
anymore. In my case to move Database from Development to
Production server I would have to recreate all DTS packages.
Is there any way around it?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Random Numbers.

Jun 22, 2001

I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.

This is the function: select rand()

Unique Random Row Id

May 4, 2006

I once came across a database in which when ever a row was inserted, a unique random code was also inserted in a column. This code generated was similar to format like {8A5FE5F1-6BDA-476C-A4DB584A7710FBF91121054625}. I was told that SQL2000 has some inbuilt functionality for this.

Any idea on how to do this using SQL2000 or coding.
I feel this is much better than Identity Column as using autonumbers in quesrystring is too much risky as they easily readable.

Please help.

Now, what I want to do is take that list and extract 1 out of every 1000, picking out random id_numbers to display.


Is this something I can do via a SQL query?

Random Number

Apr 15, 2002

Generates a true random number from xxx to zzz. Uses a table variable so it all depends on the boundaries you specify how long it will take.

create procedure random_number
@lower int = 0,
@upper int = 256,
@number int = null output
as
set nocount on

declare @numbers table (number_id int identity(1,1), value int)

if @lower > @upper
begin
set @number = @lower
set @lower = @upper
set @upper = @number
end

set @number = rand((datepart(mm, getdate()) * 100000) + (datepart(ss, getdate()) * 1000) + datepart(ms, getdate()))

while (select count(*)
from @numbers) < (@upper - @lower + 1)
begin
insert into @numbers (value)
select (@upper - @lower + 1) * rand() + @lower
end

select @number = value

Random String

Apr 15, 2002

I used this to generate a random password. You can change what it returns to up to an 8000 character password if you feel brave. You will need this function (http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14924) to generate the random numbers. For some reason, occassionaly a NULL (CHAR(0)) character would get in there and mess things up so I had to remove those. You could change this to even include the non alpha numeric characters.

create procedure random_password
@length smallint,
@password nvarchar(256) = null output
as
set nocount on

declare @number int
declare @lower int
declare @upper int
declare @part tinyint

if @length > 256 set @length = 256
set @password = ''

while len(@password) < @length
begin
exec random_number 0, 3, @part output

if @part = 0
select @lower = ascii('a'),
@upper = ascii('z')
else if @part = 1
select @lower = ascii('A'),
@upper = ascii('Z')
else if @part = 2
select @lower = ascii('0'),
@upper = ascii('9')

set @part = null
set @number = null
exec random_number @lower, @upper, @number output
set @password = @password + ltrim(char(@number))
if substring(@password, len(@password), 1) = char(0) set @password = left(@password, len(@password) - 1)
