My one VB Exe used to connect SQL 2000 using windows SQL Server Driver. But same exe is giving problem of SQL Connection Timed out error in SQL 2005 - SP1.
As this exe refers 5 tables from database and insert as well as update the data. Also client pc and server pc's ping test is around 30 to 40 ms.
Is there any way where we can increase timed out level at SQL 2005.
One more thing which i noticed in 2005. its really very heavy software. even my IBM Xeon_346 server 3GB Dual CPU, 3 GB RAM also not able to handle.
I am out of brain cells. I can not figure out how to upgrade instances of sql express to sql 2005 or even add an instance of sql 2005. I have installed/upgraded everything else (SSMS, etc.) to SQL 2005. I am dazed and confused. I don't even know where to start in explaining what I have tried and done. I have 303 log files going back to 3/27/2007 from various attempts. Where do I start in figuring this debacle out???
I am not very good in queries. Could you please suggest me some web site/Tutorial/Artical where i can get Study Material for complex and real life queries. I know the syntexes, I just need to practice queries to enhance my skills
I have a c# application running on my machine. I want to point to a sql server data base express edition running on other machine. By default, from server explorer Ionly acces data base files of the local machine. I dont have acces to remote servers.
I used the file explorer and opened the mdf file on remote server. I tried to acces the mdf file remotely but i got excepcion.
My questios are:
- Is sql server 2005 express edition supporting remote connection to mdf data base file?
- In other words, I can remotelty conncect to mdf file from remote machine ?
So, I how can point my application to remote sql server 2005 express edition data base running on other machine?
I hope anyone can help me with this. I am having problems connecting to the aspnet database. It all started when I noticed that I could not log in to my webapplication anymore under debug mode, although I was able to log in when remotely accessing the website. I got the error message that the machineaspnet user did not have access to the database: "Login failed for user 'GM-FEDORSASPNET' "This was highly peculiar and rather annoying so I tried several things to straighten this out, but it only made things worse!I read that this had to with permissions of the database in question, al though I could not understand why permissions suddenly had changed. I tried to change the rights by attaching it to Management Studio Express and defining an aspnet login, but that failed because a login under that name was not accepted. I tried to make a copy of aspnet.mdf, delete the original and rename the copy to aspnet.mdf. When that didn't work, I then deleted the aspnet.mdf, counting on it that it would be regenerated automatically, but alas. I located the aspnet_regsql.exe tool to regenerate the database, but got the following error message: System.Web.HttpException: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)What can I do?
I downloaded AdventureWorksDB.msi Microsoft and struggled to install it in my SQL Server Management Studio Express 8 months ago. I forgot the AdventureWorks examples and other stuff were in my C: drive. Recently, I downloaded a new AdventureWork.msi and executed it to install without removing the old stuff from the "Add and Remove" of Control Panel. Now my AdventureWorks database is screwed-up in my termical PC that is linked with Microsoft NT 4 LAN System!!! Please kindly help and tell me how I can revome the scewed-up AdventureWorksDB in my terminal PC.
I am using SQL 2005. I have one very big database. The size of the DB is 1500986.88 MB and space available is 149359.48 MB. There are log files in this DB. The size of my log files are growing so big. The currently allocated space of one log file is 799874.50 MB and available free space is 38281.67 MB (4%). And the currently allocated space of another log file is 1500 MB and available free space for this log file is -760092.83 MB (-50672%)
I am not sure how come available free space for the 2nd log file becomes –ve. What does it mean? If I shrink log file, will I get any extra space? If not, what is the solution?

Hi. I have a table called "Maxes" with three fields: Exercise_ID, weight, and date. This is for journaling my weightlifting progress. What I want my query to do is this: Return just one record for each Exercise_ID, and only the one with the most recent date.
I tried this:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Maxes.Exercise_ID, Maxes.Date_Maxed, Maxes.[Max Weight] FROM Maxes ORDER BY Maxes.Date_Maxed DESC;
but it doesn't quite work. Can someone show me how to do this?
I started receiving these alert messages, and after doing some re-search still can't figure out how to totally resolve it. From what I gather the value Microsoft stipulates 300 for PLE is not accurate if you running a 64 bit OS and dependent of the amount of RAM you allocate to SQL.
If I allocate 20 Gig of RAM to SQL, The PLE should not drop below 1500 - (PLE should be 300 for every 4 GB of RAM) (20/4)*300
During the course of the day it sometimes drops below 1500, so my question is how can I further see why and what query is causing this to happen???
I setup a monitoring job as mentioned by Steve Hood to capture results for me every 20 min.
STUCK! I have a consistent PLE value of 0. The server has 8GB RAM, I/O-CPU counters under 30%, various DMV's results show the buffer and memory cache do not calculate up to it's AWE (32-bit) allocation 7.5GB, waits don't show any problems, no locks, no blocks.
There are improvements to indexes that have to be made but where can I identify the root cause to the low PLE? The same process runs x6 quicker on 2 other much lower spec SQL servers exact copies from a data prospective, however there PLE is very high and not production.
Page Life Expectancy (PLE) is pretty bad on my server. PLE is hovering around 3 minutes "sometimes" but is usally around 20-30 seconds.
Total memory allocated to SQL ( a fixed amount ) is set at 3GB.
Of the total memory allocated, SQL Server is using 2.52GB ... so there is room if needed.
The Buffer Cache is sitting at 2.09GB with a hit rate around 99.8%.
The Procedure Cache is sitting at 378MB with a hit rate around 90.5%.
CPU is hovering around 10-20%
Free System Page Table Entries is LOW ... at 22343
Disc Queue Lengths spike quite often to above 5 and sometimes as high as 36. Usually sitting at .05 to 1.0 (and there are times when the DQLs are great and not measureable.
What I need to find out is how to get PLE above the recommended 5 minute mark???
Please let me know if there are any other items I need to note.
Thanks!

I am trying to create a query that will show how much revenue that we have recieved from a customer After the first invoice and I'm having a difficult time creating a query to do it.. I have a customer table and a sales table joined by custno. SELECT Customer.LastName, Sales.InvDate, Sales.AmtChargeFROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo The output I'd like is CustNo, LastName, FirstInvoiceAmount, LifeCycleAmount Getting the first inv date seems straight forward SELECT Customer.CustNo, MIN(Sales.InvDate) AS FirstInv FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo GROUP BY Customer.CustNo However getting the amount of that first inv and then getting the sum of all invoices not including the first invoice has me scratching my head. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This is my first foray into SQL Server and i am coming from an Oracle background.
We are currently looking to upgrade a COTS package from a third party supplier. I would like to know is there any end of life announcement for SQL Server 2000 ? Is there an End of Support date announced for SQL Server 2000 ?
In Oracle there is a product life cycle announcement screen, I would like to know if there is a similar page in SQL SERVER and where ?
I have few servers that are VM and different version of SQL Severs (2008 Express/Standard, 2012, or 2014 Enterprise) and seems all of them have same issue that when I am querying "sys.dm_os_performance_counters" for "[object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Page life expectancy'" I am getting very big number (Ex, above 100K or some servers 1M).Is this number seems fine or acceptable?
I'm getting an alert which states that both my Buffer Cache Hit Ratio and PLE are low on one of my SQL Servers though I'm not sure how to correctly check this.
I ran:
SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters WHERE [object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Buffer cache hit ratio'
Which gives me the Buffer Cache Hit Ratio, cntr_Value of 9 though its constantly dipping between 3-3000 and is never steady and I'm unsure if this is normal.
I also ran:
SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters WHERE [object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Page life expectancy'
Which gives me the Page life expectancy of 209061.
If these values would cause concern and if this is a normal Buffer Cache Hit Ratio? It's constantly dropping from high or low from what I can see. These scripts were pulled from another forum and I'm assuming they're showing the correct values.
I measure PLE on my server and insert them every minute into a table. Now, when I look into the table I just dont know how to interpret the following data. I dont understand how is that possible. It's an sql server bug? or? How to interpret that data?
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:

I am trying to import Access reports using Visual Studio 2005 and Access 2007. SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services is also installed. I select Reports in the Solution Explorer and then Import Reports... Microsoft Access and browse to my Access database. After I select the database I see it open briefly as if it is trying to import the reports but then Access quickly closes and a error pops up: "You already have the database open." I have checked and double checked and the database is not open. I have even tried several different databases and the same errror occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Is there any way to measure bandwith usage during merge replication between sql server 2005 and sql server mobile 2005 running on a cradled wm5 mobile device.
Attaching the windows performance monitor to the network connection established over usb would work although I was wondering if there was something specific for this case integrated into Sql server 2005 / sql server mobile 2005 / Sql server management studio / third party tools that i could use ?
I have created a database using VB Express 2005 express edition and I have created number of tables and SP's etc.
I am trying to use the database diagram tool but I get an error stating that the database doesn't have a valid dbo. I say yes to the prompt about making myself a valid dbo but I then get a message stating that I do not have permissions to imprersonate the dbo.

I am update/inserting records threw a web form in vb.net. I need to insert 'NULL' into my microsoft sql server database. I am not talking about the below line of code where website is the name of my paramater. If i do that it will just place a blank into that field in the database. If i dont enter anything into that textbox I want it to to say NULL in that field. So if I go into the actual table in the SQL Server Management Studio and look at the website field of the recored I just added or updated and did not type anything into the web site textbox it needs to say NULL. I also tried the second line of code but that places a single quote in front and behind NULL. So the field will have the value 'NULL'. website.value = txtwebsite.text.tostirng if txtwebsite.text ="" then website.value ="NULL" end if The reason why I need the NULL there is because I bind the website filed to a hyperlink template in a gridview. The actual text of the hyperlink is bound to PAYER which is a name of a insurance payer but the navigateto is bound to the website field. If i do not enter any data into the website field and it stays as NULL, then when my gridview is loaded, payers that dont have a website will not be underlined and user wont have the option to click on them since there is no value for the navigateto. But if i use my form to update/add a payer and leave the website textbox blank in puts a blank into that field in my database and when it loads that new row into the gridview the PAYER is underlined and u can click on it but it will just take u to the web site is unavailable page. So is there anyway to actaull have NULL placed into a filed and not just blank space
Just installed SQL Server 2005 and tested my old VS 2005 ASPnet websites, which were connected toSQL Server 2000 databases before. All my websites were created for local HTTP applications, coded with a connection string with User ID and Password. The SQL Server 2000 was configured as mixed authentication (i.e. with User ID and Password). These websites worked very well with SQL Server 2000 database server.Testing my old VS 2005 websites with SQL Server 2005 database, showed a 'Login failed for a User ''.' error msgalthough the 'Test Connection' on VS 2005 design showed a perfect query for e.g. a GridView control. I have assured that the UserID/Password were correct for Management Studio Security object'slogin and Database Security's user. The server instance was configured with mixed authentication mode. One thing I am not sure of is, when clicking the Management Studio icon, a Connection dialog showed up, asking for a Windows or MIxed authentication? I just stayed with the Windows authentication. What does the authenticationmode have anything to do with the VS 2005 website connection? Should I change to mixed authetnication mode?TIA,Jeffrey
Parameter passing in SSIS 2005 sometimes appears to be a cumbursome task. I have been digging into this topic for quite some time and here i note down some simple steps to demonstrate parameter passing at Package level.
(1) Create a SSIS project using Business Intelligence 2005 Or VS 2005.
(2) Create datasource (.ds) and Data Source View as required.
(3) A default SSIS Package by the name Package.dtsx is created. Double click this and you are shown tabs for Control Flow, Data Flow, Event Handlers, Package Explorer. On the Control Flow, drap and drop Execute SQL Task from Control Flow Items in the toolbar.
(4) Lets now create a variable at Package level. Right click anywhere in the control flow box (not on the Task created in Step 3 above). Click on the Variables on the context menu displayed. Variables window appears on the left of the screen. Click the Add Variable box in this window to create a variable. Name it var1 (or whatever you may like), Scope as Package, DataType as String and Value as MyValue. This is only the default value.
(5) Now let us edit the SQL Task created in Step 3. Double on it, on the General tab you can change its Name, Description. Set ResultSet as None. We shall proceed to execute a stored procedure by name MySPName and pass it a parameter. Set ConnectionType as OLE DB. Select the connection you creates in step 2. Set SQLSourceType as Direct input. SQLStatement as MySPName ? . Note the ? mark after the name of the stored procedure. This is important to accept the variable value (var1) created in Step 4.
(6) Select Parameter Mapping tab now. Click on Add button. Select the Variable Name as User::var1. This is the user created variable of Step 4. Select Direction as Input, DataType as Varchar and Parameter Name as @var1. Click on OK now.
(7) This sets up the basic of parameter passing. Compile the project to verify everything works. Right Click on the SQL Task and select Execute Task. This will execute the package taking default value of the variable. This can be used along with dtexec command with /set option to pass the parameter at command prompt.
I have a central database server that is runnning on SQL 2005 standard edition and Windows server 2003 standard as OS.
I realise that I can use SQL statements to encrypt and decrypt the data inside the standard SQL.
However, how do I read and write the data via an web application coded in C#.net and is also running on the same machine?
Another issue is, I need to replicate some of the data in this SQL standard over to a SQL mobile running on a mobile device running on Windows CE 5.0.
The mobile device also needs to read and write data to the encrypted data via a C#.net application.
Question is, with all these requirements to be met, can I use AES? I know that AES is not available on Windows XP and Windows Server 2000 and I cant find AES in the .net compact framework.
how do i go about ensuring security? how do I ensure that the symmetric key is the same both on the SQL standard and SQL mobile?
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
