Hi all
i am beginner with sql server 2005
and i need good books for good beginning
i found many books but i dont know which book i chose ...
what is the books you advice me to read for stability begnning ??
thank you
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.
Can you guys pls suggest Good books on SQL Server 2005 ??
Thx
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
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.
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.
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!!!

Hi.
I'm installing SQL Server 2005 on Vista Home Premium machines (I tried 2 machines and same problem).
It keeps giving the warning IIS not available / installed.
On both mahcines I've installed all IIS components via Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows Features On / Off. That includes the v 6.0 compatibility services
I can't find anything on MS besides "How to install IIS..." which provides no answer. I have installed Vista SP1 and all updates are installed. No other messages are given in the SQL installation.
Thanks,
Peter
Hi All -
I have come across the need to use a cube in AS 2005 for an application. Unfortunately this will be the first time writting an ASP.Net application which uses one. I was wondering if any of you had any good books or references that I could look at to get an idea of how I should approach this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Well, after having a crash course on backups, tlogs and some other good stuff, I pretty much made the decision that I need to get some good books to further help me progress in my database admin path.
Right now, we are running SQL 2000 SP4, but we are planning on upgrading to 2005. With that, and the fact I am pretty new to databases, what books are recommended?
I want to get a book that will help me:
-better administration
-write SQL query code as well as understand it (what is difference between SQL programming and SQL query (such as on the sqlteam bookstore)
I feel that my career path is going to start heading down a Database path, so anything that you recommend with that is great as well.
I can't thank everyone enough for the help and input here. Everyone has been great!
Cheers

Hi all,
Hope everyone finished their shopping lists for christmas.
anyways, I came across this error and looking into the event log, the error that I had gotten was the following:-
aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 3660) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the 613 MB (60 percent of available RAM).
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and I was wondering whether anyone could tell me how to intercept the files especially the ASMX or the webservice so that I can take a look at what is really going on between the transfers.
Thanks.

I have a local server with a linked server.
Both servers are SQL2000 with SP/2.
I run an update like the following on the local server:
UPDATE LocalServer.Dbase1.dbo.Tab1
SET t1.Col1 = t2.Col2
FROM LocalServer.Dbase1.dbo.Tab1 t1
INNER JOIN LinkedServer.Dbase2.dbo.Tab2 t2
ON t1.Keycol = t2.ForeignKey
I get the following error on the local server:
Server: Msg 8501, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
MSDTC on server 'LocalServer' is unavailable.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Working with a brand new environment. During install (both SQL 2012 and 2014) on any one of four servers, they all fail on the service accounts page with a "RPC server is unavailable" error and "The SQL Server service account login or password is not valid."
I've verified that RPC server is unavailable is related to only the agent, and the account invalid is only for the engine. Verified this by trying each one separately and putting the other back to default. For the latter (account login or password is not valid), that's definitely not accurate being that I can use that account & password successfully elsewhere.
The best article I've found so far is here - [URL] .....
I've verified all 5 are in place and changed the group policy. Still errors out every time. Even if I can fix the RPC issue, not sure what's wrong with the engine account? I think both issues still stem back to the RPC, even though the engine doesn't report it in the setup. In the detail log, I'm assuming "Slp: Sco.User.OpenRoot - root DirectoryEntry object already opened for this computer for this object" is the core of my problem.
Here's a full output of a failed run:
(08) 2015-04-27 18:28:19 Slp: Sco: Attempting to determine if the password is required for account 'MyDomainsvcSQLEngine'
(08) 2015-04-27 18:28:19 Slp: Sco: Attempting to determine if the account 'MyDomainsvcSQLEngine' is Virtual Account

All of a sudden I am getting an error when connecting to reporting services, not sure how long it has been going on, but I know reporting services was working when we moved to WSS3.0.

Has anyone seen this error come up before or know of a quick fix for it.
Recently we upgraded to TFS 2008 and WSS 3.0 but the reporting services was still working after that.
hai,
We are facing problem to start the Microsoft SQL server Reporting services. While starting the Report Manager, we are getting a message called “SERVER APPLICATION UNAVAILABLE”.
We checked the Event log for errors. We found the error id 1007, 1084, but it’s related to asp.net
The following are the services not able to start
1. MSSQL ServerAD Helper.
Any one suggest me to find solution.
Thank you.
We have a stored procedure that makes a decision to pull records from one of two servers.
If one of these servers became unavailable but was no longer queried would the stored procedure still work? Doesn't SQL recompile stored procedures periodically?
Something like this:
If @ServerAIsDown=1
begin
select * from ServerB.dbo.MyTable
end
else
begin
select * from ServerA.dbo.MyTable
end
I want to use a certificate with 10-years expiration date. I created a new template certificate, based on default computer certificate, and I only change expiration date to 10 years.
In SQL Server SSL configuration, I dont view this certificate. In only view certificate created with the "Computer" template (with validity period of 365 days). All others certificates based on template are invisible to SQL Server
How can I use a custom template instead of the default "computer" template ?
Hi
I am trying to create a scale-out deployment of Reporting Services
2005 on a NLB cluster web farm by following the instructions in:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159114.aspx
However, when I install and configure Reporting Services on the second
node, and then go back to the first node to join the second node to
the scale-out deployment (as described in step 11 under 'To install
and configure the second report server instance"), I get the following
exception:
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An unexpected
error has occurred. Details:

sender, RSReportServerInfo[] rsInfos)
I have spent hours searching for ideas, but so far no success. I have
also tried the following:
1. Enabling DTC access
2. Ensuring RPC service is running on both web and db servers
3. Installing WMI Windows Installer Provider
4. Granting admin rights on both db and web servers to the account
under which Reporting Services is running
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It looks like
this should be a straight-forward task.
Thank you.
We have a SQL2005 server install running on a Win2003 Server. It has a linked server to iHistorian using the iHOLEDB provider for iHistorian. Randomly and after a few execution to this provider, we start getting errors
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "IhOLEDB.iHistorian" for linked server "fspheafhs1".I created a data source in VS2005 for BI on the SQL server using the iholedb provider. This was successful. However, all queries or OPENQUERY statements to the linked server fail. This seems to continue until SQL Server is restarted. Does anyone know how to reset a provider in SQL Server or tell if the SQL Server is having trouble with the provider? There are no message in the SQL Error Log. Again the provider continues to work outside of SQL Server, but no longer can be accessed from within SQL Server. Thanks in advance.

"MSDTC on server 'N2984CABA-D249-43' is unavailable"

Can anyone recommend books on SQL Server 7.0 Data Transformation Services?
Looking to find info on importing data from a Sybase server to SQL server (need good examples). Thanks.
Hi,
Can anyone suggest good books on exclusively sql server development..Not for the beginners but at intermediate to advanced level.. Books which gives good understanding on Stored Procedures, Triggers, Cursors, Functions...
Can anyone make some good book recommendations for SQLServer2000 other than the Microsoft BOL?
Thanks
There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
