Hi all
I just want to make sure I have the proper understanding of how to apply MS security patches in a replicated SQL2k environment.
1) Upgrade Distributor
2) Upgrade Publisher
3) Upgrade Subcriber(s)
Any comment or suggestion would be highly appreciated :-)
I generated a snapshot and it completed Successfully.
How do I apply the snapshot so that the data is refreshed?

Hi!
The distributor was down for a long time (neer the week) and after that the commands stop applying to subscriber, while they successfully collected from publisher and stored into distributor.
Replication agent on distributor reports that initial snapshot is not available. It seems subscription is expired. But all commands from the point distributor down I have. How can I make distr agent to resume activity without reinitialize snapshot?
Hi,
i am getting the below error while applying running the Synchronization agent for the Subscriber. I have created replication topology with one central server and one subscriber. Here central server has windows server 2003 and subscriber has windows XP. Both are having SQL server 2005. After creating the merge subscriber, i am runnnig the Synchronization agent manually for the first time. While running that i am getting below error. Anybody aware of this error.

Replication is failing while applying the snapshot as the stored procs are out of sync ( the objects referenced in the stored procedures are no more exists in the database) . Is there any easy way to identify the out of sync procedures so that I can exclude these stored procedures from the articles list. I am having around 1000 procs and is not possible to test them by executing.
Thanks in advance.
I am about to apply DBCC DBREINDEX to a large database that is part of transactional replication and synchronised every 3 minutes. What are the likely implication and what precautions I must take.
Thanks in advance

I have a transactional replication environment that creates subscribers on another server as a staging area for an ETL process to a data warehouse application on a 3rd server which is the report repository. Currently the ETL process runs every 10 minutes and performs it's function across approx 150+ subscriber databases and consolidates it to the data warehouse.
I have an SLA of 2 minutes. I'd like to rework the ETL process (which run as SSIS job at the moment) to be specific to a single database and fire that one ETL proces when changes have been applied to that subscriber database only. Of these 150+ databases generally only about 8-10 are updating the subscriber at any given time per Repl Monitor. I'm thinking that if I only have a few transactions to apply to a single db the ETL would run in seconds dynamically as the subscriber is update.
The issue is how to fire the ETL process upon completion of updates to the subscriber DB? I'm thinking of using SP_Start_job passing the DBID to update the warehouse but unsure whether this is possible but if so where to trigger it.
We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.
We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server. We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server). We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:
When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions). We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.
we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots. The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).
(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)
Is there any stored procedure or MS utility that will show me what security patches are installed/needed on an install of SQL Server 2000?
Thanks.
Just installed sql 2005 version 9.00.30.42
and on this site
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administration/2960/
There is
9.00.3215 943656 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943656/
Cumulative Update 5 contains hotfixes for SQL Server 2005 issues that have been fixed since the release of Service Pack 2.
Do i just get this one and apply this on top
Hello all guru's,
How can I tell what security patches I have currently on sql server 2000 and if I am up to date on all the latest security patches?
Thanks in advance.
I've just taken over the role of SQL Server DBA for my organization. I've been asked to go over the list of Microsoft patches that will be installed on our SQL Server boxes to see if there are any issues.
As of now, I'm going to Microsoft's site and reading up on the patches. But, they don't have any info on where there are any negative effects on SQL Server or other Microsoft products.
The patches are being installed on test servers and I plan on running a few jobs to test for any issues.
Does anyone know of any other resources I could check?
Thanks,
-jeff
what options do i have when i am unable to download resources from MS link:
I am trying to download Service packs for SQL server 2008 R2 from link [URL] But it says downloading and nothing shows up.
there is any alternative or what can be wrong with links?
Please how are security patches for SQL Server Express 2005 made available (e.g., as seperate distributions or bundled into other Microsoft patch distribution mechanisms)? Are there specific procedures that I need to put in place to ensure that SQL Server Express 2005 gets patched on end user machines?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI’m wondering if anyone can shed light on a problem I’ve noticed that's really made for a major thorn in my side. I recently had a Microsoft patch installed on my server, and now for some reason, trying to run INSERT or UPDATE queries against the SQL 2000 database are severely limited. I constantly get the error:
“Error: A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.�
My Event Logs also return the following:
"Invalid buffer received from client."
I think I’ve isolated the problem to be that I can’t add new or modify existing records that try using a field which is of type TEXT, but now can’t be longer than 4,000 characters, else the error fires. This is really weird, as I’ve used the same ASP.NET script to call a stored procedure to INSERT/UPDATE records thousands of times before with 100% success.
I have a feeling this might have something to do with the patch, but has anyone come across this problem specifically, or know for sure which patch(es) cause it? Why all of a sudden would a TEXT field be so limited in capacity?
Hi
I am basically a sybase guy but unfortunately I need to patch a SQL server with SP3. This is the first time I will be doing that. So I am not sure that after applying SP3, if I would need to rebuild all databases again.
Could anybody tell me what and where is the impact when we install SP3..??
I would appreciate any kinda help.

Should I apply SP2 even though I have already installed the community preview?

Hi,
I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).
It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.
I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).
Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Jim
When I try to run SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5a, I consistently receive the error message
"Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
cfgchar.exe could not be executed. Please check the relevant
out file."
I am currently at Service Pack 3.
1) I have insured that the PATH environment variable does not contain quotes.
2) I have no other applications running at the same time as the service pack is running.
The contents of the cfgchar.out file appear as follows:

Are there any guidelines or best practices for deploying or testing Service Packs? What types of tests should be performed prior to upgrading or do I just trust Microsoft?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to modify an already existing stored procedure, which takes three parameters. Currently it uses exclusively "or" logic to apply the parameters to a select statement. e.g.
and (adid = @adID or (editorID = @editorID and aa.editorTypeID = 1))
What I need it to do is to apply a different "and/or" logic depending on what is supplied. If two or three parameters are supplied then it needs to use "and" logic to join them. Howver, if just one parameter is supplied then it should search on that parameter alone - which it won't do if I just join them all together using "and" by default.
The work has to be done inside the T-SQL, not in the calling code. I only know two ways of doing this. Firstly to create different stored procedures and use the calling code to pick one or the other depending on supplied parameters. The other is to do if/or login inside the SP itself on the values of the parameters. Either way presents something of a maintenance nightmare. Is there any other way to do this?
Cheers,
Matt

I have never applied a service pack to sql server 2000. Someone tells me that you have an option of supplying the SA password but do not have to and the service pack is applied just as if you did supply the SA password. This sounds odd to me. So, is it true? I am asking because our server instance shows "SP4" but a fix that was supposed to be included in SP4 was apparently not as the problem persists (link from sql server 2005 to 2000 fails when referenced in sql2005). I was thinking that whoever ran the service pack may not have provided the SA password so some of the SP4 was not applied???
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "s-1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.

Ok I already have a
database layed out with several tables and relationships set up, and i
went ahead and built a bunch of pages that I was planning on using.
While i was doing this I ran into 2 problems, the first was i wrote
some SQL statements to insert data from input boxes into some tables i
have in my database, i used a catch exception statement as well as a
if/else statement to handle the transfer to diffirent pages like a
signup succeded or failed, the problem im having is that the data isnt
saving into the database. (I was modeling my code after the Video 8 in the
Learning SQL server 2005 Express Edition for Beginners Video Series....
I actually got them to work......sorta....) When i test it no
exceptions are thrown and it continues on like nothing went wrong. The
other Problem i ran into was i realized i wanted to use the memberships
and roles provided by ASP.NET 2.0, and since i already created the pages for the site, i was
wondering if there was a way to add them in. This site isnt anything
fancy at all, i wanted to try and create a app where users sign up and
create an account on the site, but i also wanted to have the
flexability to insert and retrieve data from the database with out
having to be stuck in the templates. Sorry for the long story im
trying to give all the info possible. Any help on this would be
great! Thanks!
Is there a way to apply .css or Skin files to all reports. Changing colors in each and every page is a little cumbersome.

Our update of KB 934458 to SQL Server 2005 SP2 has failed on a Windows 2003 SP2 server. This is a standard version of SQL Server.
The error reported is:
Error Number : 29506
Error Description : MSP Error: 29506 SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file e:MSQLMSSQLData for user Administrator. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
I have verified that Administrator has full control permissions for the folder indicated in the error message. The SQL Server Service account also has full control permissions on the folder.
I have run the update as administrator without any access restriction.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
I have some C# code written a little while that imports data nightly
into a database. Most of the data is typically deleted from the tables
and imported again. There are some tables where data is never deleted
and references other tables. Because there are constraints between
these tables, the code processes the import in the following sequence.
get constraints from database->drop constraints->delete data->apply
constaints->import data
I was curious how I can accomplish similiar results in SSIS. I know I
can execute a process task to manage the constraints, but I was
wondering if there is any other way.
Thanks,
PJ
Hi,
I'm retrieving data from a cube using a datareader, all the measures have format string, but when retrieve from Integration services it's lost.
I know there is a way to get the format string as columns using extended properties of the conection. I haven't tried this yet, but is there any way of reapplying this format to the columns using this format strings??
thanks
I am DBA and have worked for 3 years on sql Server 7 production servers. I briefly looked at SQL 2000 on desktop edition.
Should I be worried about applying for dba positions which have SQL 2000 production server environment. Companies will ask how much SQL 2000 experiance I have. I feel a little nervous as I have not the exposure to a live SQL 2000 production server environment.
From what I have seen the bread and butter DBA tasks have not changed between sql 7 and sql 2000.
I am hoping to get the opinion of fellow DBA's on this subject.
Thanks Pargat
We need to apply the transactional log for business hours (9-5) everyday to a oracle instance which will be seeded with SQL Data for once. And then every day the transactional log would be applied.
We need to do this as eventually this server is moving to oracle.
At this point if somebody could help me to read the transactional log that would be great.
Thanks,
