Had to migrate to new hardware running Server 2003, sql 2005. Databases, logins, two SSIS(DTS) packages working great. But, System and User maintenance plans failing since name change.
So, recreated them, and (with minor problem to be addressed at another time) the recreations are working fine. But, I can't delete (or modify) the old plans or jobs. Get the following error when physically sitting in front of the server logging in "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation(mscorlib). An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to sql server 2005, this failure may be cause by the fact that under the default settings, sql server does not allow remote connecitons. (provider: tcp provider, error: 0 no such host is know) error 11001
As I said, I've disabled both jobs, but would prefer to delete the plan/jobs. But, it won't let me. Any ideas?
We have renamed the 'sa' account on a SQL Server 2005 machine. Whenwe runSELECT * FROM sysloginsit appears that 'sa' no longer exists as a valid SQL login. However,when we look at running processes through sp_who, we see that 'sa' isstill being used in various background operations, even when we shutdown and restart the SQL Server. Can someone explain this?Bill E.Hollywood, FL
I have sort of a weird problem; we havea sql server 2000 box which was virtualized using VMWare, the virtual server was then renamed and used as another sql server.
there is a simple .net framework 3.5 console application (running on the same sql server box) that reads and deletes data from that sql server, this console application opens 2 connections simultaneously, for some reason after creating the VM and renaming the server this app didn't work, the problem is that when there was one connection open the second connection command always times out though the command only deletes one record from the DB.
After several trials I found that if I ran this app from another server it works without problems and to get it working on the same box as the sql server I have to use the ip address instead of the server name in the connection string.
I had another problem related to editing the sql agent jobs on the renamed server but I found a solution for this one in KB article.
I have read that if I change "computer name" and then try to startup sql server it will recognize the changes automatically BUT you need to execute sp_dropserver and sp_addserver procedures too in order to set all thing right.But yesterday I tried it on a Personal edition on xp and after reboot sql server came up without any problem and I could connec it without executing sp_dropserver and sp_addserver! Was it a specific situation or no need to those SPs at all?
This shows up fine in Managment Studio, I then connect to the database from VB.net Express and it connects to the database using the following connection string :
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:DevelopmentSoftwareChangeDatabaseSoftwareChange.mdf;Initial Catalog=C:DevelopmentSoftwareChangeDatabase;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=False
I don't want it to be a user instance as and without the path in AttachDBfilename it doesn't see the database.
Here's the problem when I go back into Management Studio and click on the SoftwareChange entry under databases it gives me a file not found error then subsequently doesn't let me open it. However another database entry has appeared "C:DevelopmentSoftwareChangeDatabase", this is the path of the database and displays the contents of SoftwareChange. I can detach and re-attach as SoftwareChange but why does VB.net (i assume) change the name of Db in SQL.
I recently changed the name of my pc to MYNEWPC ...but in SQL Server 2005 Security/Logins there are a couple of logins pointing to the old name...would i need to add these, change these or do something to make it point to the new pc name?
Here is what I see that needs to be changed from MYOLDPC to MYNEWPC, how do i go about doing this..is this needed?
Our network people changed our machine name one character without our permission, they say their naming standards can't handle an "underscore" we put in our name...now the SQL Server won't run because it doesn't recognize the name of the machine.
Is there a way of bypassing or telling SQL server that we changed the name without having to reload all of our information?
We had issues with our production database which had 'broker enabled', I restored an older backup and then renamed the Prod database to ProdOld and the Backup database to Prod. We noticed yesterday that the broker service wasn't working and had the error
'The SQL Server Service Broker for the current database is not enabled, and as a result query notifications are not supported. Please enable the Service Broker for this database if you wish to use notifications.
' I ran the following script against the database
ALTER DATABASE prod SET ENABLE_BROKER go GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE to User
GRANT CREATE QUEUE to User GRANT CREATE SERVICE to User GRANT REFERENCES on CONTRACT::[http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostQueryNotification] to User GRANT VIEW DEFINITION to User
And it came back with a message that the broker was already enabled. I did a disable/enable just for kicks, but we still get the same error message. I did a check on the sys.databases table and it shows that the 'is_broker_enabled' field set = 0 (should be one)
Any ideas on what's going on here? Could the rename caused the broker to become out of sync? It would be great if I could just update the bit field, but I don't believe there is an easy way of updatting the system tables.
I had a cluster running on 3 nodes (windows failover cluster) with server 2012 and SQL server 2012 running in the cluster. Well, I thought I'd just go ahead and rename all 3 of the hosts with new hostnames and it apparently broke the cluster pretty bad. Now when I open failover cluster manager I cannot see anything nor can I connect to the cluster object in AD. I re-named all of the hosts back to their original names but that didn't work.
I am using SQL 2012 SE and implementing transactional replication. I need to insert the rows from publisher database tables to new tables, drop the old tables and rename the new tables with the old table names.
For example:
Publisher database tables that are being replicated:
Table1 Table2 Table3
and I am going to create new tables in publisher database
Drop constraints from and then tables (does this require articles to be removed from replication?)
Table1 Table2 Table3
Rename
Table1_new to Table1 Table2_new to Table2 Table3_new to Table3
Does this require replication to set up from scratch or add the three articles only to replication? Is there a way this can be done without pausing or reinitializing replication or without removing articles and adding them back?
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.
(1) Can I install visual studio 2008 without the 2005 express edition of SQL server? Will be any problems because I don't have express edition of SQL server? Do I need to install the express edition of SQL server as well?
(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?
I am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one virtual domain.

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Hi, I am developing an application for pocket pc 2003 smart device which utilizes synchronization between SQL CE 2005 and SQL server 2005 by means of REMOTE DATA ACCESS method call PULL( ) and PUSH( ) but currently these are the details of the error Im encountering when PULL( ) method is called:
Error code: -2147467259 Descripion: An error occured on the computer running IIS.Restart the IIS server.
Minor error: 28022 Source: SQL server CE Currently Im developing this application as a final project and due to some limitations I have setup my pc to act as the SQL server and the IIS server both on the same machine.
Hello,If I backup and restore an express database to sql server 2005 standard, will there still be limitations in regards to the database size, cpu...etc.? Thanks,Jon
Do you now, How can I move database with datas to release version of sql server? Procedores backup/restore can't help becouse of unsuported version database.
How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).
When I try to upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 using the special Express edition of SP2, I get an error message that says "None of the selected features can be installed". I end up having to cancel the install of SP2.
I'm left with SQL Server 2005 at level 9.0.3054 and SQL Server 2005 Express at 9.0.3042. How can I bring SQL Server Express 2005 to the same level as SQL Server 2005 Entperprise?
Hello!! How can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition? I see allot of example of upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, but no example on upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise or Standard. Is this possible?
I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I first tried installing the DVD and of course it told me I must use the command prompt installation method to include the line SKUUPGRADE=1. I found good references to this in the following links:
My servername is URHCS63 and my instance is SQL2005DSS.
When I execute this command, a installation dialog box opens briefly and then disappears and nothing else happens. Here are the results of the bootstrap log file:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00 ============================== OS Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 3790) Time : Thu Oct 25 16:17:48 2007
URHCS63 : To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter. SQL Server Setup was interrupted. For more information, review the Setup log file in %ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt.
Hi all, I just installed my VS 2005 Pro (full installation) and it installed Sql Server Express 2005. I also have a CD for Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition which I have not installed yet. My need for Sql Server on my development machine is for building and testing apps - just myself - no users will be hitting my sql server on my PC. Most of the time I hit my web server's sql server but also want the engine on my PC for when I'm offline. Question: Should I install the developer edition and remove sql server express? Doesn't the developer edition more closely emulate the full-blown sql server, just that it only allows one or a few users to hit for development and testing purposes? At the same time, sql server express is scalled back in that it doesn't have all the goodies? Thanks! Stewart
Hi, My objective is using a single DB file (mdf file) + SQL Server Express 2005 to run my program I got two softwares here, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Firstly, I installed Visual Studio 2005, normally the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition will be installed with this software. After finishing the installation. I opened a new project and try to open a DB file (.mdf) from Visual Studio 2005, it works. The problem is that I can't restore the mdf file from an old database file since it lose a lot of functions that appear in SQL Server 2000 / SQL Server 2005. And it is too troublesome and inconvenient to edit a DB file in Visual Stuio 2005. Therefore, I have to install SQL Server 2005 for me to edit the mdf file, so that I can modify, backup, or even restore the mdf file with another DB file. After the installation of SQL Server 2005, I got a tool, SQL Server Managment Studio, to edit the mdf file. I can open the mdf file but when I double-clicked on the mdf file in Visual Studio 2005, it gives me the following error message: Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 It seems the SQL Server 2005 modify some of the files in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Is that SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition cannot be exist at the same time? The issue is I'm working on my computer, but I dun want to install SQL Server 2005 in the server that I will transfer to. It will be much like using Access DB file, without the Microsoft Access software, the program can still work well. However, when I'm still in programming stage, I do hope to have a DB file as the source file for my program, but I can do some editing works with SQL Server 2005. Does anyone can give me a suggestion? Thanks for your kindly reply. Calvin
I am interested in installing both SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server2005 b2 on the same machine. Can they both be installed on the same machinewithout conflicts? As in two different instances?John Dalberg
I recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. My databases are stable and functioning perfectly. However, these databases are using the 32-bit version of SQL Server. The servers are going to be upgraded to 64-bit processors and new Server 2003 64-bit OS's.
Everything I have been able to find says that it is a simple process of backing up the databases in the 32-bit environment and restoring them in the 64-bit environment.
Could it really be that easy? I am looking for someone who has done this to provide any "heads up" commentary on what to look out for during that process. Can anyone provide some information on this process?
Recently I have upgraded my system to SQL Server 2005 SP2 version 9.00.3054; I have developed my packages on SQL Server 2005 SP1 version 9.00.2047. I am unable to open all these packages on SQL Serever SP2 version 9.00.3054 it is giving me error.
Error: Error loading Package.dtsx cannot create an instance of the XML Document Object Model. MSXML may not be registered.
We recently migrated our 32bit instance of SQL Server 2005 SP2 to a 64bit instance of SQL Server 2005 SP2. The migration was performed by copying all .mdf and .ldf files (including master, tempdb, etc...).
Everything seems to have worked nearly flawlessly except for a few glitches seeming to relate to the master database. I am hoping there is a way to mitigate these issues without reinstalling and performing the migration again.
First, when attempting to view the Activity Monitork, I get the error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Cannot show requested dialog.
Unable to execute requested command.
Unable to launch Activity Monitor. You may not have sufficient permissions. (ActivityMonitor)
View or function 'master.sys.dm_exec_sessions' has more column names specified than columns defined. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4502)
Second, the procedure: master.dbo.sp_procedure_params_rowset fails because of the line: option (OPTIMIZE CORRELATED UNION ALL).
Like I said, I know this is probably an issue arising from copying the master database, but if it is at all possible to avoid another migration, I want to.
