I downloaded and tried to install the file "SqlServer2K5_BOL_May2007.msi" and got a message:
"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Please advise.
Could some body suggest some good books and online resources for:
1. T-SQL Intermediate level/Advanced
2. SQL Server 2005
Thanks a bunch

I am trying to install sql server 2005 books online but I am failing and I am getting this message
"This installation pakage could not be opened.Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"
am I doing anything wrong or has the version of books online changed? Do I have to install anything else before installing it? or does my operating system not support it?
Thanks
Can some one give me detail instruction to installing the SQL Server 2005 Express Books Online.
I am new to SQL Server and want to install the MS training material.
are a mess, reminiscent of the structurless "goto" programming of days past. One of you brainiacs need to erect a "real" getting started section, with procedural steps on how a first time user can successfully download, install, and use SQL Server Express. Not all of us are working in corporations where the guy in the next cubicle can answer questions for newbies.
I will try once again, nicely, to ask a question about installing SQL Server Express Edition SP2 onto a Windows Vista machine. That drama will take place in another post.

Hi All,I searched this news group but couldn't find that problem whichis suprising... maybe I'm doing something stupid.I start one of the chm files (books on line help files).I read about a topic. There are links.I click on them. It tells me "Selection is not associated with anytopic. Please try again.". Its ahref link to jscript function:javascript:hhobj_1.Click() but I do not have it and cannot find it.So I have to go between all those chm files hoping to find the topicof my choice.Plus I want to search them all at once.There must be a (smart) and easy way to do this.Please, do you have any suggestions.ThankfullyJimmy Ol' Boy

I am trying to go thru the deployment tutorial, but I'm running into some trouble. The two sample packages I need to work with are called DataTransfer.dtsx and LoadXMLData.dtsx found in the samples.
When I examine these packages, they are writing to tables called dbo.HighIncomeCustomers and dbo.OrderDatesByCountryRegion. These tables don't exist in my copy of AdventureWorks database.
Also, when I try to open the Connection Manager for the target tables, I get a message that says, "The specified provider is not suported. Please choose different provider in connection manager."
Is it possible I'm having these issues because I'm working with a different version of the sample packages?

Hi,
I am trying to determine a couple of books that will help me understand SQL Server 2005 from a few of perspectives:
Optimizing databases, specifically from SQL 2000 - I have a recommended book Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization
Developing SQL Server 2005 based applications using VIsual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 - I have been unable to narrow down to a specific book here. I learn best by example, so I was hoping for a book that basically goes through implementing a "real world" project from scratch to finish. I am going to be using the full-blown enterprise edition of SQL 2005, not the Express Edition; but a book that uses the Express Edition trumps any other book, I would be open to it. Any suggestions on such a book?
Understanding T-SQL and Stored Procedures from a SQL Server 2005 perspective -- Any suggestions? A book that spells out the differences from SQL 2000 would be an added advantage.
Thanks.
We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

I am not new to the SQL Server world, but am somewhat new to the SQL Server 2005 world. I am just getting into the reporting tool. By just messing around for about an hour or so, I was able to get what I wanted somewhat. Basically, I'd like to get up to speed on the reporting side of things fairly quickly. So I am looking at some books, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any.
Here is a few that caught my eye:
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Brian Larson
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for Dummies
-Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Paul Turley
-The Rational Guide to SQL Server Reporting Services
I am thinking the 1st two would probably be my best bet, but wanted to get you folks suggestions.
Let me know as soon as you can as I am planning on going to the book store tonight or this weekend.
Thanks in Advance!!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a problem with connecting to our SQL Server 2005 through Access 2007. I get a msg "ODBC-- failed. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] SELECT permission denied on object 'clients', database 'Contacts', schema 'dbo' (#229)" We have moved some of our tables from Access over to SQL Server 2005. I recently got Access 2007 and I'm the only one at the office that has this problem (everyone else uses Access 2003 or older). I can link tables to SQL Server but I can't open them and I can't open Forms or Reports that has those tables as data source. I can open other objects in Access that are not linked to SQL Server.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks Charlotte
I'm not experienced with SQL Server 2005.I've got a live copy of my database running on the web server.I've got another copy running on my desktop that I make changes to.Whats the best way to sync between the two so:1. I don't have to take the application offline2. I don't loose any data from the live database3. But I can implement changes to tables and/or add new tables
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

I recently installed MS Accounting Express 2007 which also installed an instance of SQL Server 2005 but without the standard interface. But I want to install SQL Server Express 2005 as well. Can the two coexist? Is there a way to have both applications running on the same machine? I am asking before trying the standard SQL Express install. Thanks, Jim.
Hello,
I am looking for a solution to the problem named Table was skipped, or export failed. Here's the story:
I have a desktop with Vista Ultimate x64 and Office 2007. I want to export a database from Access MDB (about 2Gb, 110 tables) to SQL Server Express Express (Advanced). The simple solution > upsize wizard.
- create new database
- server name, used trusted connection, some database name
- I select all tables
- I unselect table's attributes
- create new Access server/client application
and every time I have Table was skipped, or export failed. The same thing happens when I create new MDB with one table (some random values)!
The strange thing that on laptop with XP + SQL Sever 2005 Express (Simple) and Access XP upsizing the same database works fine!'
one other issues of a rookie:
I wanted to access a database (randomly created) on Vista with the Access on my laptop. Both PCs are in the same network I can ping both, but when I try to connect to IP_desktopSQLEXPRESS Access posts connection error. Why?
P.S.
When installing SQL Server on Vista I have only a problem with IIS and ASP.NET, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Is there a way to create a SQL 2005 x64 Linked server to an Excel (or Access) 2003/2007 file? In SQL 2005 32bit this was possible. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around?

I'm having a tough time importing some of my legacy database into sql.
I have a number of dbase (IV) files I need to get into SQL. I have tried building a SSIS package with either an foxpro oledb connection or a jet 4.0 one, none of them work bec. of inconsistencies in the data format in my tables (e.g. date fields, etc).
I have tried to save the .dbfs as excel 2007 files, taking advantage of the larger space that comes with '07. Problem is you can't use the import/export wizard with 2007 for some reason and I haven't been able to create a package with the access 12 oledb as I have read.
I have to get some crucial data out of that old system and into the new one and I can't seem to be able to import them properly.
Any hints on what I should do ? (maybe I'm doing something awfully wrong)
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question,

I have a problem protecting a SQL 2005 SP2 server on Windows Server 2008 (64bit), running DPM 2007 on Windows Server 2003 (32 bit).
The following SQLVDI event ID 1 is logged in the event viewer:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS:pen. Desc=BADMEM. ErrorCode=(-1). Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1_SQLVDIMemoryName_0.
The UUID changes each time the event is logged, but the first event is followed by:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Close(channel). ErrorCode=(6)The handle is invalid.
. Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1_SQLVDIMemoryName_0.
Then this is repeated twice:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Close(channel). ErrorCode=(6)The handle is invalid.
. Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=.
Event ID 3201 is then logged by MSSQLSERVER:
Cannot open backup device '{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1'. Operating system error 0x80770006(error not found).
This is followed by Event ID 3041:
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE CommunityServer. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
It looks to me like the virtual device creation fails in the first step, the next three event messages are the cleanup of the failed virtual device, and the final two messages are the failed SQL backup as the expected device doesn't exist.
My question is why? The message seems to indicate bad memory, but I'm sure the physical memory is good - The 16GB in this server has been tested extensively, and I have no other issues. Perhaps its some sort of memory allocation error?
I'm going to apply cumulative update 7 to this SQL server to see if it makes a change. What's the latestest version of sqlvdi.dll available?
TIA,
Karl.
I'm looking for a little help on a strange problem, used Business Contact Manager 2007 Database Tool to create a shared database in SQL Server 2005 on a server on the LAN, placed the database in the default instance of MSSQLSERVER then used the database tools to restore a 2003 BCM database to the newly created database in SQL. Everything worked as it should and I verified the database existed and was populated with data and all the permissions were set correctly to access the database. Then I loaded 2007 Business Contact Manager on a workstation on the LAN and attempted to use the wizard to connect to the remote database. I keep receiving errors that the database cannot be found. I have used the SQLCMD (Sqlcmd €“S €œtcp:erverNameinstanceName,portNumber€?) to verify access to the server and named instance and can connect with no problem, so it appears that would eliminate any firewall (which I turned off) problem or permission problem on the SQL Server. This is a connection between a Vista computer and a Server 2003 domain controller. DNS appears to work without a problem as a ping from the Vista machine by server name yields the correct IP. I have several databases running on the sequel server and have no problem accessing them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have made some Data Mining Model Examples in Excel 2007 (not temporarily!). They where there after leaving an re-opening Excel. I have used them several times. Then I want to look, if I can see them also via SQL Server Managment Studio in the Analysis Services. There where nothing in the DMAddInDB in Analysis Services.
And after this, in Excel my DataMining Models have disappeared and all Models i have made since this disappeared also.
Perhaps I have destroyed the database. But will this happen every time? Can I share Data Mining Models I have made with Excel with Projects in SQL Server Analysis Services?
Thanks

Does anyone have any great suggestions on how I can import an online XML file into an SQL 2005 table?
So far I tried to accomplish it with SSIS Data Flow Task where my source is XML Source (Data access mode: XML file location; XML location: URL, Use inline schema = True). This set up properly identified the columns to be imported.
I used Copy Column data flow transformation task to load data to OLE DB destination table that has same structure.
When I run the task it does execute with no errors, however the table remains empty. It looks like I am failing to read the actual data.
Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to go around this approach with stored procs/com/you name it €“ just make it work!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello,
I have an intranet environment consists of two servers:
- An application server windows 2003 server with 64-bit server Sharepoint 2007 SP1 (Standard version for search)
- A database server windows 2003 server with 64-bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 64-bit (Standard - 9.0.3054)
It happens regularly that the database server crash (frozen black screen) while the application server indexes (crawl) the content of the intranet site based on sharepoint. There is no alert / error in the observer of events, nor in the sql logs.
The crash is uncertain: dice once all goes well, soon after that crash. When i set the parameter search service (service management research), I can define a regulatory impact of the robot to change the number of documents at the same time : "Request 2 documents at the same time, the crash is more rare, "ask 64 documents at a time, the crash is more common.
My Intranet under sharepoint is composed of a collection site with a dozen sub-sites. There are 3 large library of PDF document. All done in the 4 go in terms of volume.
My problem for about 3-4 months. (Maybe more. Before, indexing was not yet in place).
Someone could help me? Thank you
