I need to save the work I did during my SL Server 2005 Express evaluation which has now expired. I am afraid, very afraid of losing the databases if I uninstall the eval version and upgrade to the newest Express version. Am I ok, or am i toast ? lease clue me in- thanks!
Hi- I let my sql server evaluation expire and I have no access to the database now. Is there anyway I can create a new server on my old sql server 7 software and import the data? I have stored procedures that I really need to access. I see where the data files are but is there a way to get them opened by SQL Server 7 when I created it all in the latest version? Thanks Nicki
Today my SQL Server Express suddenly stopped working. After a few hours troubleshooting I finaly found something in the Event Viewer/Application Errors: SQL Server evaluation period has expired...Isn´t the express edition supposed to be free?.
By the way: Windows did 27 automatic updates just before this happened. Might have something to do with it.
Is there a easy way to deal with this or do I have to reinstall and just hoping that I can restore my database?
I've been reading and looking over what to do for my situation for several days. I need to ask and see if I can get a clear answer.
My Scenario: I have a SQL Server 2005 Eval installed that is currently running with live data. I need to upgrade that to a recently-purchased full version. I have several databases set up. I have ready the article 914158 that states it will fail. It's still running so I can access everything. If I restart or stop the service I'm screwed.
Hi I am using .net 2005 and SQL server express edition. When I am running the application for the 1st time it gives Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. I am using anonymous user for personalization of web part. And my web.config looks like <webParts> <personalization defaultProvider="AnonProvider"> <providers> <add name="AnonProvider" type="myControls.AnonSqlPersonalizationProvider" connectionStringName="localSQLServer" />
</providers> <authorization>
<allow users="Administrators" verbs="enterSharedScope"/> </authorization> </personalization> </webParts> <anonymousIdentification enabled="true" /> Please suggest what to do? Regards Smruti

Message: Timeout expired, timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation...
The view is operating on a table of 2mil records. The timeout occurs after 30 seconds, and none of the changes I make to the various timeout settings in the server or database seem to affect this.
When I execute the same sql statement in a query window it does complete, requiring about 40 seconds to execute.
How can I configure the view not to timeout when executing this view?
We're going to set up a demo of an Analysis and Reporting server. Does the Evaluation Edition of 2005 come with things like the BI studio, Management Studio and other client-side tools?
Also, does anyone know if the Eval Analysis Services is the full product (e.g. semi-additive measures, ...?)
Is there a way to find out many days you have left on the trial period or is there a way to find out when it was created. I get the feeling it will just not work one of these days and I'll have to figure out something on the fly.
I am running the SQL server 2000 evaluation edition... and enterprise manager..does anyone know if this really expires....or can I keep playing around with it forever???same for enterprise manager...
Does the evaluation download of SQL Server 2005 come with Enterprise Manager, it just doesn't seem to be installing it? I was wondering if anyone else had download it and had a look and had hit the same problem?
I guess this is likely a stupid question, but I have no time for pride riht now...
I installed the evaluation version of SQL Server 7.0 and then installed the full version over top of the evaluation version once I received it.
My problem is that now SQL Server is telling me that the evaluation period has expired! How do I get around this? I assumed that installing a full purchased version would "convert" my installation of the evaluation version to a full version, but it hasn't. Please email with any information as I am trying to track this problem down and may not have time to check back here!
is there any kind of problem if i continue to use "sql server 2000 enterprise evaluation edition"..the evaluation period is for 120 days and my project will complete by that period..shall i continue using that or there are any problems....
Hi,I seemed to me IsNull Evaluation within EXEC fails. Here's some moredetail of the problem.-- goal: provide one parameter (of various value) to generate a-- reportdeclare @col4 varchar(30)select @col4 = null-- pls note, the @col4 var is default to null but may likely-- have a valueexec ('select col1, col2, col3, -- next dynamic col' + @col4 + ',col5, col6count(*) as totalfrom FACT_TBLwhere 1=1-- THE FOLLOWING CONDITION EVALUATION FAILED-- in the sense that if the parameter is not called query does-- not return any result set, which is wrongand COL4 = IsNull('''+@COL4+''',COL4)group by '+@COL4+', col5')
We've been running report server 2005 for several years in development and production. I tried to move the database the other day and everything went fine, aside from creating the scheduled reports/sql jobs. Took a look at the log and it said that report server was in evaluation mode. How can I verify this information?
The version number under /ReportServer is 9.00.2047.00
But that is the same number as my development RS, which did a DB migration just fine.
It is also strange that it has continued to function for so long - if it is in fact an eval version.
Here is the log where things began to go wrong.

Looks like that is the reason for the failed schedule recreation.
I found it annoying that I have not being able to put more than one conditions in the Evaluation Expression within the For Loop Containter? e.g. iCounter<N , also I want to put another condition there like IsHoliday=1. How can I achieve that?
I have tried to used the LOGICAL AND operator && to combine more than one condition, but it did not work.
Please shed me some light on that.
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
...(and several permutations of strings I found via search) but get "invalid object name ce35_tbl". Am I doing something wrong here or is this not supported? Is there a way to accomplish this via t-sql on server2005?
I am trying to rewrite a stored procedure that right now works by string concatination.
I would like to mimic that in sql, and have therefore made something that looks like this:
Code Block declare @guard varchar(20) set @guard = ''
select * from Table1 where @guard = '' or pk in (select pk from Table2)
What I really would have liked was that the guard worked, and Table2 therefore never was searched (because of left to right evaluation), but when I look in the execution plan then I can see that Table2 is getting it's clustered index scan every time.
Does anyone have a good explanation for this, and mabye a good idea on how I can achive what I want?
This will become a recommendation for my customer; we are struggling with performance on this new install which is temporarily done with the Evaluation version and I see a Service Pack has been published. Please advise?
I'm trying to create a database for an organization for managing contact lists, and mettings with access 2007.
I've 4 tables, organization, person, meeting, participant (contains fields of person and meeting).
the PK for person is, "Fname" and "Lname", and the PK for meeting is "name of meeting" and "date of meeting". How should I link these two tables with "participant" which has no PK, in order to avoid people to insert fields for partcipand before filling out data tables of person and meeting.
For testing purposes only, I'd like to install SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition on a server. From what I've read, this edition is a full Enterprise Edition, but it will expire after 160 days. But is it a full edition in the sense that users can connect to it when it's installed on a server, like if it was the Enterprise Edition? So far, I've only had it installed at local computers outside any network.
Hi everyone I've just installed the microsoft's evaluation version of sql 2005 at my home computer. Now i'm trying to connect ("sql sever management studio") but i dont know the server's name nor user name. I dont rememeber ever asked to produce any during the installation. Bottom line- the evaluation version of sql server 2005 is installed but i cannot log in. How do i get to know my user name ? server name ? What ever i try i'm announced that the present version is not working for remote connections. I try to connect from the same very machine of the sql server. What is wrong ? Thanks
I have inherited a nice problem when starting a new role.
My SQL server has stopped and i get the 17051 error when i try to start the services, It is the evaluation copy. I do have a registered full copy on another box.
I really want to keep some of the databases i have been using in the test environment. They have not been backing up as the msdb DB became corrupt some time ago.
Is there any way i can get them moved to my other box.
CAn i reinstall SQL server (another eval copy) onto the duff box (keeping the db's) back them up and then move them
hey everbody, i'm absolutely new to any sort of data management here it goes: suppose we store 100 .txt or .doc files in sql server and we want that none of the files data should match more than 60%: the question which arises are
1. how do we store files in ms-sql (binary format or normal text)? 2. how do we match the files? 3. what code we write in c# for this purpose? 4. has this nething to do with pattern recognition?

I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.
SELECT CASE WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2) WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1) ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END
This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?
First of all, I get the following error message for one of my packages which uses user variables:
SSIS package "UsageAnalysis.dtsx" starting. Information: 0x4004300A at Perform xmlState Shredding, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning. Information: 0x4004300A at Update Analysis Table, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning. Information: 0x4004300A at Update Analysis Table, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning. Error: 0xC001700E at UsageAnalysis: A truncation occurred during evaluation of the expression. Error: 0xC0019004 at UsageAnalysis: The expression for variable "GetAnalysisData" failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression. Error: 0xC02020E9 at Update Analysis Table, UsageAnalysis Source [1]: Accessing variable "User::GetAnalysisData" failed with error code 0xC001700E. Error: 0xC0024107 at Update Analysis Table: There were errors during task validation. Warning: 0x80019002 at Usage Analysis Process: SSIS Warning Code DTS_W_MAXIMUMERRORCOUNTREACHED. The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (5) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors. SSIS package "UsageAnalysis.dtsx" finished: Failure.
Now my package has the following variables: GetMaxUsageID: scope package level, type string, statement SELECT MAX(UsageID) AS MaxUsageID FROM XX.XXX MaxUsageID: scope package level, type int32, default value 0, value get assigned from the following statement executed from sql task that runs GetMaxUsageID variable as above GetAnalysisData: scope package level, type string, Evaluate as Expression "SELECT * FROM dbo.UsageAnalysis WHERE UsageID > " + (DT_STR, 8, 1252) @[User::MaxUsageID]
The package has worked fine until MaxUsageID value reached to 10,00,000 and since then I have been getting above mentioned error message. The problematic step is related to Data Flow task where I use GetAnalysisData. I have tried replacing user variable with literal as follows
"SELECT * FROM dbo.UsageAnalysis WHERE UsageID > 1000000"
the error message stays the same. Please note that package has worked fine before and it still works ok if I don't use user variables. Obviously, some of you would see eliminating user variables as workaround but I would appreciate if cause of that error message could be investigated.
I have a stored procedure that accepts a parameter of type varchar(32). This parameter gets tested against NULL as part of an IF statement. The behavior I'm seeing is that this test never evaluates to TRUE, even in cases where NULL has been passed in as the value of the parameter.
CREATE PROCEDURE uspNewVital @Description varchar(32), @Type tinyint, @DeviceType varchar(32), @Dimension varchar(32), @Unit varchar(32) AS IF (@Dimension != NULL AND @Unit != NULL) BEGIN RAISERROR ('You must specify either a dimension or a unit.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END IF NULL = @Dimension BEGIN DECLARE @UnitID AS int ; SELECT @UnitID = ID FROM tblUnit WHERE Description=@Unit ; IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BEGIN RAISERROR ('Unit not found.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END INSERT INTO tblVitalType VALUES (@DeviceTypeID, @DatumID, NULL, @UnitID) ; END ELSE BEGIN DECLARE @DimensionID AS int ; SELECT @DimensionID = ID FROM tblDimension WHERE Description=@Dimension ; IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BEGIN RAISERROR ('Dimension not found.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END INSERT INTO tblVitalType VALUES (@DeviceTypeID, @DatumID, @DimensionID, NULL) ; END GO
When I pass in a NULL for @Dimension, code execution still goes to the ELSE block.
At first I thought this might have something to do with the ANSI_NULLS option, but the database has this defaulting to OFF.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
