Have installed SQL 2008 on Windows 2008 and have come across a strange issue.  When connecting to the Report Server cvia SSMS to enable "My Reports" (for example) the Report Server Properties are greyed out and we cannot alter them. This occurs when logged on both locally & remotely to the Win 2008 server.  Interestingly, we have another (XP Pro) box with SQL 2008 on it. If we connect to the Win 2008 SQL report server from the XP machine's SSMS, then we have full control and can access and change the report server properties on the Win 2008 server.  The relevant domain accounts are in the Admin group on the Win 2008 server and the XP Server so we are confused as to why we cannot edit the Win 2008 report server properties locally.
I have a table with one of the column of xml type. the column contains xml like given below. I want to read this xml from the table and show as below with T-sql query
"EmployeeID" "IndustryDome" "description "
Where Description value comes from the value of AllDome/ITEM/Dome /Description whose Dome equals to IndustryDome value
I have SSIS packages that send success/failure email upon completion, and I'd like to add a note that identifies the server and database used. I can certainly add variables to the packages and use them when constructing the email, but I'd prefer to get the information directly from the OLE DB connection itself. Is there a way to access the connection string from within a control-flow VB script task? Furthermore, can I get the data source and initial catalog from that connection string, or do I need to parse it myself?
I'm trying to get a better idea of how I should set some of the SSCE connection properties. I will be deploying the application on a WinCE5 board with a 4G flash storage card and 512MB RAM. The application must run 24/7 with a medium amount of traffic. At any given point I expect up to 3 connections to the same database. I'd really like to keep performance high without risking any database corruption issues. As such, I need to make sure my connection properties are optimized.
I read from Joao's article that setting DBPROP_SSCE_MAXBUFFERSIZE = 1024 gave a considerable performance increase, while anything higher gave diminishing returns. Is this for a certain amount of RAM, or is it uncorrelated to RAM size?
What's the best practice for specifying DBPROP_SSCE_TEMPFILE_DIRECTORY and DBPROP_SSCE_TEMPFILE_MAX_SIZE? Is it possible in WinCE5 to directly put it in RAM? How big do these temp files get?
I've read of some bad experiences with autoshrink. Are there any reasons not to set DBPROP_SSCE_AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD to 100 if the database will be compacted regularly?
Any other advice for the more obscure settings such as DBPROP_SSCE_FLUSH_INTERVAL or all the lock settings?
I want to transfer data from one server to another by using SSIS. i want the connection string to be dynamic and also according to the some other variable, the transforming data is changing.
Could you provide me the solution thet how i am able to change my connetction string dynamically and the other variable too.
i am using VS 2003 as front end and SQL server 2005 as a backhand.
Due to VS.NET 2003 i am able to create DTS packages but i have to migrate it and then anly i am able to use it in JOB in SQL server agent of SQL server 2005.
is that any code or any stored procedure from which i am able to migrate DTS packages to SSIS packages.
I designed a DTS package with eleven different connections. When I try to see the proberties of a connection the enterprise manager immediatly closes without giving me a warning. This happens only with two connections (in my example M1 and M2). This mistake has no influence to the execution of the package. In my opinion it is a fault of the DTS package desinger but may be that I made something wrong. Is there anybody who knows this mistake? Thanks for your help.
I am working on a SSIS package which is using a Script task, now I have all the connection properties set up in the .NET script using connection strings, what do I need to do if I have to set this up using a config file or something else which is more secure (I dont want to leave the connection information in the script). Please Advice.
I used to do this in DTS but wondered how to do it in SSIS. I have a For Each ADO recordset loop that reads these four columns into variables:
DataSource Name, Name(for a WHERE clause), user and password.
For each "Building" there is a new server to connect to, with identical tables. I have 10 tables in the loop to pump from one database to a SQL 2005 database (i.e. 10 dataflows). I want to set the source connection information with the variables. My questions:
1. How do I set the connection information for the source connections? Do I just set the properties for the connection manager and then it sets for all the sources? What property do I set--do I need a script task?
2. How do I use the values from the "Name" column in a WHERE clause in each data flow?
Hi - Im migrating packages in dts 2000 to SSIS 2005 using package migrator wizard. It loads a CSV to a table in DB. I need to change the server and file location paths after migration. While changing this, im encountering error - "the acquireconnection method call to connectionmanager failed
How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?
I store files in db in sql server 2008 by filestream. But when a column would be added to table which have filestream, properties of table would be changed. by every things change on table, retrieve files will faced to error. but store process work probably.
and filestream filegroup at following address will be empty. why?
Right click on table --> properties --> storage --> filestream filegroup
I am not very familiar with working with spatial data and I am currently trying to work out how to obtain some properties of a circle defined as a geometry data type. Specifically, I need to determine x and y co-ordinates for the centre point and the diameter of the circle.I have had a look at the MSDN reference for spatial data .
As the title states I have a 64bit DSN but when I try to create ODBC datasource in Reporting Services it does not appear in the dropdown box. I have created as a system DSN.
I know that I think as sql2k programmer-dba yet but I can€™t avoid.
I€™ve got Flat File Connection Manager Editor dragged with a text file as €˜ragged right€™ format and CRLF as header row limiter. When from properties page and Columns option I€™m going to alter just a few colums I am not be able. It seems that you must erase all of them in order to define one or two. And in the case you€™d have 50???? When I ran sql2k DTS designer did that without problems, alter columns again and again.
As far as I know it€™s a lose of flexibility, or not? Or is there any way for do that without deleting nothing else?
Hello! We are having problems with a single SQL Server where the Server properties will not save, and always revert to the default. It occurs only on those tabs with "configured" and "running" options at the bottom. Other tabs will keep the settings we custom. The big problem is with the memory and processor tabs which even when we've made only a single change and stopped and started the service, reverts back to a default. Any clues - we are logged in as "sa" and have not removed the SA priviledges.

I have several users with an unusual problem with SSMS 2012. When they attempt to connect to a database using the "Connect to Server" dialog box, the connection just hangs. Sometimes after about 15 minutes the connection will be successful. Other attempts simply spin seemingly endlessly. Users experiencing this issue are both running SSMS 2012 on Win 7 Pro (64 bit). The following troubleshooting steps have been tried:
1. When the user runs SSMS "As Administrator" the connections work almost instantly. (Elevating privileges is not a solution in our environment) 2. Wireshark shows that SSMS does not try to hit the SQL server when the user experiencing this issue clicks connect. 3. I can create a new virgin user on the PC and that login experiences the same problem. 4. A complete rip and re-install of SSMS 2012 does not resolve the issue.
Is there no longer a graphic interface for the parameters that are output with sp_configure? There are many options that are settable that are not in the Sql Server Propreties, but these items were in the 6.5 graphic interface through EM ex. number of open objects. Is there a script to save these settings so the installation can be recreated?

This problem concerns files FTP'd (using True64) from an AIX app, to an WIN server
These files can't be loaded into the SQL Server DB using BCP (String data, right truncation) nor into an ACCESS DB ("Overflow"), (but can be loaded into Excel).
If the file is opened and saved in a Windows/DOS environment it loads fine, or contents copied to an empty win/dos file.
If the same file is sent from to the Win server using DOS FTP then it loads fine.
It seems to be that these DBMS's don't like something about the operating system level file properties (hdr or EOF?).
I am writing a program in .Net to retrieve properties of Sql Server.How can I find the following properties without querying the database:1. Replication enabled2. Default language3. Processors and threads running.Thanks,verve
I'm running SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 on a Danish PC, and I need to have the server language set to Danish.
However, when I want to change the language in server properties (the current language is English (US) using Management Studio Express, I can't - all of the properties on the General page are greyed out.
I know that the SQL Server Express SP1 download is available in several languages (Danish not being one of them) - does that mean that I can't get my SQL Server Express SP1 installation to "speak" Danish at all?
Hello to everyone, I've a question about UDTs and the way I can use them to access tables and columns where they are applied in a SQL Server 2005 DB. I've already spent 2 days googling and MSDN reading but nothing helped me to solve my problem, thats why I'm posting it here (this is the second post, maybe the last one was in the wrong Forum).
The scenario follows:
I've created a UDT called MyUDT that exposes 2 properties MyTable, MyColumn, here its the code:
[Serializable] [SqlUserDefinedType(Format.UserDefined, IsByteOrdered = true, MaxByteSize = 8000, Name = "MyUDT")] public class MyUDT : INullable, IBinarySerialize {
/// <summary> /// Set or Get the Table Name where the UDT is applied. /// </summary> public string MyTable { get { return this._myTable; } set { this._myTable = value; } }
/// <summary> /// Set or Get the Table's Column Name where the UDT is applied. /// </summary> public string MyColumn { get { return this._myColumn; } set { this._myColumn = value; } }
....
}
And here it's my question/s:
How can I expose the defined Properties (MyTable, MyColumn) in order to be directly used from SQL Server Management Studio within the Column Properties Panel?
If it is not possible, is there a way for any UDT to get back from the sql server execution context the table and the column where it is applied/used?
I need to solve that in order to later retrieve via SQL the Extended Table Properties where the UDT is used and make some work on presented MetaData. Thanks in advance, every answer/help will be very much appreciated.
In SSMSE, if I open Server Properties and then Permissions, I can highlight a user or user group and click the 'Effective Permissions' button.
For entries like 'BUILTINUsers' or 'BUILTINAdminsitrators' I get the following error message. I don't understand what it's telling me - can anyone explain?
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
Cannot execute as the server principal because the principal "BUILTINUsers" does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15406)
Notes: as fara as I know, BUILTINUsers does exist, and I do have permission.
Hi everyone, Primary platform is 2005 under 64-bit.
I'm trying to figure out what does 'Processor Affinity' and 'I/O Affinity' means when you're viewing server properties. We've got eight processors. Thanks for your comments,
I have a MS SQL Server Express database wich I upsized once from MS Access. I can connect to it and get/insert data but I can't update the field properties.
I've used Access 2003, Visual Studio .Net and SQL Server Web Data Administrator, but I can't change the properties of existing tables. I cán add new tables and add their properties afterwards. Since I have a lot of tables it would be too much work too recreate them all. So how can I edit my existing tables?
We have two servers each running SQL7. I cannot run a trace on one server from the other. Whatever server name I enter in the drop down box, the trace only records activity on the server that profiler is running on. Even if I put a non-existent server name in the box (!), the trace accepts the name but still only runs on the host server.
I have looked on google and haven't found a query (as of yet) to perform this function.
Essentially I am using VB.NET with Excel and have a mapping between a worksheet and a table in my database. I wrote an import function to pull the data out of excel and put it into SQL Server but I want to try catching errors before i do that.
What is the SQL query to get column sizes from a table. Meaning in a table I have column1 that is allowed a size of int(5). How do i retrieve that information from a query opposed to just looking at it in SQL Server EM??
In SQL 2005, the linked servers are not automatically enabled for RPC / RPC OUT like they were in SQL 2000. I have set the properties for my linked server by using SQL Management Studio.
I right click on the Linked Server --> Properties --> Server Options
There are options like: Collation Compatible, Data Access, RPC, RPC OUT, Use Remote Collation
There is a drop down box to set each value to TRUE or FALSE. Setting them through management studio works great, however for the production environment I need to set these properties programmatically. Is there a stored procedure or registry setting that would allow my program to set these values for a given linked server?
I am running SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition with Reporting Services and would like to assign a user on the system to be a System User in Reporting Services through SQL Server Management Studio so that they can run Report Builder but the window for the Reporting Services Server Properties Permissions Page has been grayed out so I cannot add new users to make this role assignment. I can add users and perform normal role (non system roles) assignments by right clicking on the folders underneath the Reporting Services Server with no problem.
Is it due to the edition of SQL Server that I am unable to do this?
Is there another way for a user to gain access to the Report Builder application using some other authentication process?
How to change the Security Properties of a Linked Server.
In tsql, I need to setup a linked server and want to set the Properties -> Security -> For a login not defined in the list above, connections will: -> Not be made But I cannot figure out how to set it to Not be made. I manually set it in the GUI, and the scripted the linked server and when I ran the script to create it was set to Be made using the login's current security context. The create script did not even set it correctly.
I have looked around and all that I have found is a column in sys.linked_logins, uses_self_credential that looks promising. But I cannot change the system catalog.
how i can set the "For a login not defined in the list above" security property in tsql?
