I am running SQL Server 6.5 on a W2K server. I recently encountered the
problem described in Microsoft KB atricle 153455. The server has NO
service packs installed on it. I have downloaded sp5a from the MS site
and tried to install it, but I am told that SQL Server is not installed
on the machine, which it is.
I know this is a stretch, but might anyone have the previous service
packs for 6.5? I can't find them on the MS site, probably because they
are cumulative. My thoughts are if I can get some of the oder SP's
installed, then I could get 5a installed.
Alternately, does anyone know why the sp might be telling me ths SQL
Server isn't installed?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,I am planning to install sql server 2000 sp4 on my clustered serverrunning in active/passive mode.I plan to stop all sql services using cluster administrator, installthe service pack from the primary node and then reboot all nodes.Are there any missing steps that need to be done or problems thatanyone has come across?ThankLyn
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Hey I am new in sql server admin field . Just installed service pack 2 on sql server. but I am not sure whether I should apply service pack to the client machine also. And if I have to , how to do that? Use the same executable?
A couple of service packs have been issued for SQL 7.0, depending upon requirements these may or may not need to be installed. Where can I go to get information on these service packs? And what version numbers will be displayed using "SELECT @@version" ?
I'm kind of new to SQL 7.0. I have a question regarding where to get the service packs from. When I go into sql server enterprise manager and choose the about option on our server it shows service pack 6. When I do it on my laptop it shows 4. I want to get them on the same service pack. Unfortunatley I wasn't the one who put it on the server and I can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can get the service packs from. I went out to Microsoft page but all I saw was service pack 2.
I am looking for a listing of the versions of SQL that correspond to the Service Pack level.. Example.. 6.50.??? SP1 6.50.??? sp2 6.50.??? sp3 6.50.??? sp4
I have been looking all around and can`t find this info. At one time I did have this information and I misplaced it.. Thanks
I was trying to verify my SQL service pack level, when I ran a select @@version, my results contained 6.50.274. Does anyone know what service pack .274 is? My documentaion shows that SQL SP3 is 6.50.258 and SQL SP4 is 6.50.281. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any forseeable problems with only moving one of my company's departments SQL database server to sp2 and leaving the others on sp1? From an admin tools perspective? Our internet groupd would like to move on to sp3 and the others would like to wait?
Are there any guidelines or best practices for deploying or testing Service Packs? What types of tests should be performed prior to upgrading or do I just trust Microsoft?
I have a Win 2003 server with SQL 2000 SP3 that is publisher and distributor for several merge replication publications. Subscribers are a mixture of SQL 2000 (running SP3 and SP4) and MSDE. I've run into a problem in creating publications that is fixed in SP4 but for various reasons I can't update all of the subscribers that are running SP3. I don't expect any issues updating just my server but will I have any issues running SP4 on my server and SP3 on the subscribers?
I'm using SQL Server Express on Vista. I can't remember whether or not I installed the service packs for SSEE. Is there a quick and easy way to find out?
I have SQL Server 7.0 installed in a Fail-over cluster and currently, Full-text indexing is not installed, since our full-text index resides on a different physical server. In an attempt to consolidate our servers I am looking at installing full-text indexing on our cluster. I understand that there will probably be issues getting the Full-text indexing service to fail-over, but I'm not too concerned with that.
What I am concerned with, is, will I need to re-install the latest SQL Server 7.0 service pack? Does anyone know of any security holes with an un-patched version of the full-text indexing service?
Any advice on this situation is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I was reading that when applying 2008 R2 SP1 you need to run the MDS update component manually: [URL] I was curious if that package changed in later service packs because I couldn't find any mention of it.
SQL 2012, if there was a similar process in their service packs for MDS, or if it hasn't been upgraded?
I use Windows XP Profesional. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Serices. The problem is that my databases attach always as Read-Only. I have learned that I sould install Service Pack(s), but I cannot find any for Express Edition with Advanced Services.
Could youe help me please?
Here is a list of files I have installed: SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE, SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE, SqlServer2K5_BOL_Jul2006.msi, SQLServer2005_ReportAddin.msi, SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi, SqlServerSamples.msi, SSEUtilSetup.EXE.
How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack(SP).
What about re-applying SQL 2005 service packs when upgrading Express SP1 to Workgroup, etc.?

I am trying to use the IISLog report packs with SQL Server Express reporting services. The guidance in http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/ indicates that I need to change the target URL and the connection string so that the report packs work with SQL Express. I cannot see how to centrally change the connection string, so that it will affect all the Datasets in the report project. If I try and open a report page and click on the Data tab I get the following error.
A connection cannot be made to the database. Set and test the connection string.
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
I have seen this error before when I have mistakenly used "data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks" instead of "data source=.SQLExpress; initial catalog=AdventureWorks" as a connection string when creating a new Dataset.
How can I get the IISLog report pack to work with SQL Express?
I have an almost virgin install of SQLExpres running on a WIN2K Pro system.
Have been able to create and connect db to Access 2000 without problem.
Now I wish to extend to remote connections. Using Surface Area Configuration tool, I changed Remote Connections to Local and Remote.
Whenever this setting contains TCP/IP and I try to restart the service I receive the following errors:
System Log:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 10013.
Application Log:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 0]. Tcp port is already in use.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0xa.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0x1.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
If I change back to Local Connections Only or Local and Remote using named pipes only, the service starts up again without a problem.
After five days of investigating, researching, reinstalling and waiting I have to ask for help.
Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running: Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10 Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1 Server MSK-CDBPO-01 Job Name FailureNotificationJob Step Name MainStep Duration 00:00:00 Sql Severity 16 Sql Message ID 6522 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0
Message Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver. A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification': System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. System.Security.SecurityException: at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server. I have the following guesses: 1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service 2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions 2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.
Hello, I need to document all SQL Jobs and DTS Packs with full description of dependencies - database, table, stored procedure, etc. Is there are tool that I can download for that particular use???
Hi all, I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service. What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?) What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
I am trying to run eight SSIS packs from within Integration Services > Stored Packages > File System and seem to get an error like the following on all of them:
"Failed to acquire connection "MyConnection". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I can run the packages without error from within VS and from within that location in Integration Services on the machine containing the the databases, but when I attempt to run them remotely I get that error. I am attempting this with full admin access on both machines, but the purpose behind these packages is for our developers to run them on individual databases whenever they need to. So I'm concerned that I may run into further access errors after this, but so far I can't find a reason why this connection would fail. Any ideas?
If I can supply more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for any information!
