Re-Installation Problem (prev Installations Not Removed Completely)
Jul 14, 2006
I have installed SQL server 2005 on Win SERVER 2003, then uninstalled and then re-installed but I have found out that the previous instances are still listed and the the previous collation too (I have changed reg setting and and language option re-installation).
It looks like that removing program does not remove completely every object, probably registry values
Do you know how to perform a good uninstallation removing everything (add/remove program does not work properly as written before) ?
I have a need to insert rows into an Audit type table when valueschange in certain fields in a table. I thought I could do this via atrigger. However, on requirement is to include in the audit both theold and new value.Is there a "simple" way to do this? I know I could query the tablebefore the update and compare to what the new value is and reactaccordingly.Just wondering if there is something nifty in Sql Server that I ammissing that could help me with this.Thanks in advance for your help.Bill
Hi All I am new to this forum. I want to know if MSDE can be installed twice (two instances) on a single computer? I will be thankful for details provided by you. Radhesham
Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to intall SP1 on SQL Server 2005 and am experiencing some difficulties with regards to Authentiction modes.
I have tried to use Windows Authetication for All instances and it states that the account information could not be verified for one or more services. I only have one instance which is the default and have Database Services and Reporting services listed in the Products text box. I have also tried using SQL Server Authentication using the password of a SQL Server account but am still experiencing problems.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different outcome. I must be going insane.
To top it off, the first time I tried to enter this message the post failed.
I installed visual studio 2005 and SQL express in the spring and began working with them. Life was good. I got distracted for several months and when I went back in I saw the 2008 beta 2 versions of VS and VWD. I uninstalled everything and installed the new versions, but kept having problems with missing links in the help files. I am a newbie, so the help files were important to me so I decided to go back to the old versions.
I deleted everything again, used the MSI cleanup utility to make sure everything was deleted and tried to reinstall the 2005 versions. At one point I got SQL server installed, but had to use a different (besides SQLexpress) instance name and was unable to link it with VWD. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled (maybe a dozen times) while trying various means of deleting file contents and under the programs/apdata and Microsoft SQL directories and in various sequences to no avail. The latest message is below along with the end of the log file.
Does anyone know a good hosting vendor for the visual studio authoring environment? (just half kidding)
Thanks for any help ... bill

in a prior "legacy" life we couldn't imagine 24x7 implementations because it was important to 1) reorganize databases periodically to remove fragmentation that adversely affected performance and 2) back up databases just in case.
In a 24x7 SQL Server 2005 implementation, high level only, how are these and other maintenance related things accomplished with confidence?
I dont think SQL cleanses its own page splits unsolicited. Are DBAs totally reliant on logs in full recovery installations where db must be up 24x7? What if the devices those logs sit on fail? What if the logs become too large? Is it likely that if you want 24x7 you're looking at Enterrise Edition only?
I'm totally aware of and confident in the sliding window partitioning thing but it seems to me there must be more out there in terms of periodic, more frequent maintenance activity.
I am seeing repeated failures installing SP1 database services with crashes in hotfix.exe being reported and the following appearing in log files:

I have 2 SQL server installs for 2008 R2 configured as multi instances. I have a product called Esri ArcMap 10.3 that can be used to generate a database. When I run the wizard against one installation, the wizard successfully creates the database. When I then run the same against the other installation it fails with the following error [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Invalid cursor state
I've attempted to look at the configuration of each using select * from master.sys.configurations
From this I found several differences
Successful Mulit instance Optimize for Ad hoc Workloads – False Max Degree of Parallelism - 0
UnSuccessful Multi instance Optimize for Ad hoc Workloads – True Max Degree of Parallelism - 4
I attempted to co-ordinate the differences running the wizard for each iteration but it always failed with the same error above. The error always seems to occur when a particular store procedure is run. There are quite a number of scripts run prior to this and are technically under the covers and only discovered via tracing, in this case using SQL Profiler. I don't have access to individual scripts that I can run incrementally to replicate the issue. I have to rely only on the Esri Wizard.
Reviewing the error against several forums suggests that this is an ODBC error but the trace I ran using SQL Profiler finds that the driver used is Native.
My question then is "What are the conditions that would cause this error above (Invalid Cursor)?" "Is there other configuration settings that are not captured via the SQL identified above?" "Could this be caused by mapped drives for data, Logs and Temp?"
We are attempting to run the SQLScan utility from the SQL Server 2000 security tools (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9552D43B-04EB-4AF9-9E24-6CDE4D933600&displaylang=en). I have identified 6 systems with a vulnerable installation. Each developer has updated to SP4 and when I run the scan again, I can see that the instance is now at SP4 revision but it still reports that the instance is vulnerable. From all the documentation I have read, SP4 should include all previous patches. Is the SQLSCAN tool not compatible with SP4 and if so, how can I centrally determine whether I have vulnerable version on the network or not?
Is there such a tool for SQL Server 7 as SQLSCAN is for 2000?
I should state also that I am not technically proficient with SQL Server but have been tasked to scan the network for vulnerable versions that we may have and am finding SQL Server to be very confusing indeed.
I'm baffled by a problem I noticed yesterday, I have a 3 NODE SQL 2005 x64 ENT cluster which was setup with SSIS and Notification services upon setup. I have gone through patching SQL 2005 with SP1 (initial setup) SP2 and Hotfix 3052 through the last two months and it in the NT applicaiton log that SSIS was patched and started up to 6/15. Yesterday I received an email stating SSIS was not installed by one of our developers, upon logging in a confirmed it's no longer there! I re-installed through ADD/RM Programs SQL 2005 and ran through the SP2 and HF 3052 setup.. but upon scanning the Application logs I can't find any record of SSIS or Notification services being uninstalled. The MSinstaller shows the initial install of both packages, and then the re-install today but there's no log of uninstalling it. Does anyone know where else I can look or has can explain this odd occurance?
I am in the process of porting over an application from Access To SQL implementing SQL Server 2005 Express. My intention is to implement this database on a full time server and upgrade to a full blown version of SQL later. Am I correct in assuming that there is not limit on the number of concurrent connections to SQL Server Express since it was stated that the "Workload Governor" has been removed? Or does something else control the number of users that can be simultaneously connected to the server.
My reason for asking is I have 7 machines that need to access the server. I also have 2 databases that need to be accessed from each machine. If there is no limit, I will keep my databases seperate. However, if there is a limit, I will most likely merge the tables into 1 db.
I may not sound desparate, but I really am. I have spent many days now trying to install and re-install Microsoft SQL 2005 Express. I still cannot connect to the database! I have read this forum and tried various suggestions, like setting the remote connections and TCP/IP + Named Pipes. Still doesnt work!
The environment is Dell Dimension 24000 (I86) with WinXPPro.
Out of desparation, I downloaded and installed Oracle 10g XE. It works just fine !
My question is: Does the Oracle database server interfere with connecting to the Microsoft SQL 2005 Express server ?
Also, I notice that there are an awful lot of questions posted on this Forum concerning just getting your software up and running. Are there that many stupid folks out there like myself, or has this application been released prematurely ?
My company doesn't allow using Local Service / Network Service accounts for SQL Server. So I created domain service accounts. Can multiple SQL Server installations use the same domain service accounts ?
When a workstation losts connection to server,it can leave an uncomplete transaction.

I have a sql table with a varchar column which contains codes like '080101000', in my SSIS dataflow I have a lookup against this table and the column whith the code is used as output column for my lookup transformation.
In the advance editor the output column datatype is DT_WSTR, but when the code contains only numbers like the code '080101000' the first '0' is removed! It's like the code is at some point transformed to numeric and then inserted in the output column as a string. This in nonsense!!
Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL. I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table. From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table. I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist? I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.
We have a publisher that got red-crossed(Run to problem). I decide to remove and recreate it. However, after remove it, the publisher still stays in Replication Monitor. The remain thing has no distributor and logreader, but only snapshot agent. When to check the property of the agent, we got a error message basically say the job does not exist, which makes sense.
Now, it does not show up in any places, except Replication Monitor. Well, it cannot be removed from Replication Monitor. Can any one tell us how to clear it from Replication Monitor?
Thank you.
More Infor: The replication was set up on 2000.(2000 pub, 2000 dis and 2000 sub) with 2005 Management Studio, and the publication was removed with 2005 Management Studio.
According to SQL Server 2005 Book Online, the following "Important" note applies to SET_ANSI_NULLS and SET_ANSI_PADDING:
"This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature."
However, these options are automatically inserted in the auto-generated scripts (such as CREATE TABLE) in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
I am working on new scripts that include these options. What are the replacements for these options? Does the above note apply to ALTER DATABASE options? Please give me advice!
I Recently uninstalled Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Tools from my machine, then I installed Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 again. this way I can write normal .NET applications with vs 2008 and still be able to develop my reports with the BIDS.
I thought everything was working oke, until I had to modify a report. When I open the report and preview it...it works fine, but when I go back to the Data Tab, it clears out the mdx queries of all the datasets and I get the default blank designer.
I really need this fixed a.s.a.p. otherwise I can't make fixes to the reports.
I need to completly remove MSDE from my PC it was installed using Install Shield Express and when I try to uninstall, I get a Fatal error durring installation. There must be a way other than reformatting?
I installed sql2ksp3 from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the setup SAPWD and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect. So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the sql2ksp3 from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end, saying it couldn't setup the server. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!
Hi, Can any 1 guide me how to completely remove SQL 2005 ?

Hello, I have installed Enterprise edition. I used Client Network Utility to create a server. I went into Enterprise manager and tried to register this server I created and I got the following error: Specified SQL Server not found
Assume you have a query SELECT Column1 from Table WHERE Column2 = 'x' Say you have a non-clustered index on Column2. The engine is going to load the non-clustered index into memory to search for that record then do a lookup to the clustered index to grab column one also but quickly becuase it knows the RowID.. Right?
Is that safe to assume that every table that is queried would need to be in memory? ie the buffer pool? So if I have a table that has 2 million records, any operation on that data requires the table to be in memory?
I have 2 different databases and an import tool that reads from one and fills the other one and then whenever we run it, it should synch the two databases and its kind of a heavy task. I was wondering if i can replace it with replication between these databases. I defined publisher and subscriber, but i cannot find anywhere that i can say which field in source maps to which field in destination.
Is it possible at all to have a replication between 2 databases with totally different schemas? If so, please let me know how.
