More Bugs In SSRS 2k5 ....
Aug 13, 2007Here is another one thats been bothering me for quite some time and I believe for user with regional and language settings to non-US English.
I have my regional settings set to Canadian English. I am using Calender controls to pick up Start, End dates in my report. When I pick a date from calender it automatically converts it behind the scenes to US English I believe. Therefore when I run the report, I get the result set, say from Oct 8 instead of Aug 10. Further, if I select the date as 13 Aug, the following error gets thrown (as a result that the SSRS is not able to identify 13 being any month of course)
"An error occured during local report processing. The value provided for the report parameter 'StartDate' is not valid for its type".
Is there a solution to this problem? The underlying date type is DateTime, so why should it matter which regional setting I use?
Comments anyone?
Copy/paste Bugs
Jul 11, 2007try copying a connection manager from one package to another
it does not work
e.g. excel connection manager
it loses the name of the connection manager and also the file you are pointing to
so it is basically no different to 'add new connection manager'
also
try copying the name of the connection manager to another connection
select connection, hit F2 (edit) ctrl C,
try pasting!
in order to paste you have to right click on the selected text and select copy from the context menu
this is not a bug
this sloppy, poorly tested software
So Important Feature Has So Many Bugs!
Mar 20, 2008I tried SQL mirroring in beta 1 , then it was gone, until SP1.
Now I can not setup mirror, it is fine if it is just hard to setup, but it seems it is full of bug! The mirroring has to be stable, since I am trying to mirror product db, what a diaster if something goes wrong.
I am trying two servers, both has 9.0.3042. First I tried to setup on my home machine, I VPN to my network, After I config security, I see two connection strings:
TCP://sql8.mydomain.netsql2005:5022
TCP://sql5.mydomain.netsql2005:5022
and I click start mirroring, then I got error - Alter failed due to invalid connection string. Hard to figure it out, right?
Then I tried the same thing on a server in the network, this time I get
TCP://sql8.mydomain.net:5022
TCP://sql5.mydomain.net:5022
and it doesn't show that error anymore, I am not sure why the connection should be like the latter format, but in anyway, how come SMO can not make it right?
then I get another error, SQL server doesn't exist or can not access, I search on the Internet, it seems that error could mean anything, include that the mirror db is not in restore mode.
But I did set the mirror db in restore mode and both sql5 and sql8 are under same domain, pysically close.
So what else I can check?
Any suggestion?
thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhere To Report SSRS 2005 Bugs?
Dec 21, 2006Where can a person go to report SSRS 2005 bugs? I didn't see any area for error reporting.
These are the few bugs I've recorded, but I've seen so much more :(
On 2005sp1, and mainly using ssas 2005 for source data:
When you have an existing report parameter that was created by the graphical query designer area for dataset1, and then you go to make another dataset and add the same hierarchy and choose for it to be a parameter, it will overwrite what parameter settings you just had (ie, not multivalue and a special default value I desired).
When adding subsequent series or category fields to a chart, the default series/category grouping name remains the same and causes a error when attempting to run the report. IE: chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1 - all names are the same for all of the 3 groupings that I've added.
Paging Query Bugs Out When Adding A Where Clause
Oct 10, 2007I am getting incorrect results from my paging query, where the same results are being returned multiple times. Here are two queries I have found to bring the same results:select top 20 * from lookupdocuments_dbv where catname_cst='MyCategoryName' and (docid_cin not in (select top 620 docid_cin from lookupdocuments_dbv where catname_cst='MyCategoryName'))select top 20 * from lookupdocuments_dbv where catname_cst='MyCategoryName' and (docid_cin not in (select top 640 docid_cin from lookupdocuments_dbv where catname_cst='MyCategoryName'))When I remove the catname_cst where clause it brings back results properly (i.e. records 622-642 and 643-663). What is wrong with my where clause that is causing identical data to be returned?
View 8 Replies View RelatedSSIS - Several Bugs In Creating A Simple Task
Dec 8, 2006I was creating an SSIS package, seemingly simple. One of the tasks I needed to do involved copying our production database to a seperate DB instance for staging. I wanted an SSIS package that would stage production so we could push and test changes.
My first problem is that I tried to create a simple Transfer Database task. When I tried to run the task, I got an error stating that our Stored Procedure, DtsRun, could not be scripted. It's an encrypted stored procedure.
A little annoyed, I decided that I'd do a transfer SQL objects instead. Now I don't want to hard-code my objects to xfer based on the current schema and edit this SSIS script every time we make a DB change; I just want it to copy ALL objects except for my encrypted proc. I'll just build a list with with another task.
I decided that I'll write a script that generates a list of proc names, and I'll pass that to the Copy SQL Server Objects task. Well apparantly I can't assign a collection value with a script. I have to create ANOTHER package that modifies THIS package because (1) The entire package isn't exposed to the script task and (2) object variables can't be used in expressions.
Am I missing something? So because I use a single encrypted stored procedure, I have to write 2 fairly complex packages to copy my database? That's just stupid. I can understand if SQL can't move the encrypted package while the database is online. I could deal with that. But the extremes I have to go to JUST to copy my database are truly rediculous.
I was really excited about SSIS, but I've been really dissapointed. The performance of the designer on my machine is really poor (I have a Core T2700 with 2GB RAM). Just about every error message I've gotten, both design-time and run-time, I've had to google because they're so obscure. And if you can only store blittable types and strings in variables, that severely limits the functionality of a package (without going to programmatic extremes).
Most of all, I'm really dissapointed in the expression system, If the CLR is loaded into the SSQL/SSIS runtime, then why am I coding it using ANOTHER proprietary coding syntax???? I thought .NET was meant to keep people from having to redesign the wheel???
Microsoft is constantly pushing C#, yet I can only script in VB.NET, which means I now have code-bases in different languages.
Overall, I'm really dissapointed with SSIS. The usefulness of the added functionality in SSIS packages is shrowded by the massive list of nuances.

MS03-031 Security Patch Indexed View Bugs...
Jan 22, 2004Hey!
Has anybody here had any issues with the MS03-031 security patch and SQL 2000 on Windows 2003?
We recently installed this patch on one of our test SQL 2000 machines, and the performance of queries running on this machine have gone up (gotten worse) by at least 10X.
We use indexed views and all queries are run with WITH(NOEXPAND) to force the indexed view to be used.
Anyway, after the patch was installed, the queries on the indexed view will ONLY use the clustered index, and not any of the other indexes, causing a Clustered Index Scan.
I removed the patch (well, re-installed SQL) patched it up to SP3a, and performance is back to normal.
Anybody experience anything similar?

Memory Configurations For SQL Server 2005 EE X64 With SQL Server 2000 EE X32 On Windows Server EE X64 Server
Apr 20, 2007My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
How To Move Sql Server 2000 Database From One Server Box To Server 2005 On Another Server Box Sql
Aug 10, 2007
Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?
Thanks.

Can't Connect .Net Application From Windows Server 2003 To Database Server (SQL Server 2000)
Apr 3, 2008Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran
SQL Server 2008 :: Restoring A Database / Server Using A Remote Server As The Service Call?
Jan 4, 2013if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
Help! SQL Server Error - [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Invalid Object Name ...
Jul 23, 2005Dear all,On Win2000 server with SP3, I am trying to access a SQL Server 7.0database, "TestDB", from VB6 via a SQL Server ODBC system DSN using ADO2.7. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a login named "Tester".In its property window, NO "Server Roles" was assigned but its"Database Access" was set to "TestDB". This login was also made as theuser of "TestDB" with "public", "db_datareader" and "db_datawriter"selected as its "Database role membership". All the tables I am tryingto access in "TestDB" were created under "Tester".My code is like:Set conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "DSN=TestDSN;UID=Tester;PWD=test"Set cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = conncmd.CommandText = SQLset rs = cmd.Execute()If I set the SQL to something like "SELECT * FROM tbl_test", I alwaysget an error of "-2147217865" saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL ServerDriver][SQL Server] Invalid object name tbl_test". If I set the SQL to"SELECT * FROM Tester.tbl_test", everything runs properly. Could anyoneplease kindly advise why the first SQL is not working? Or in otherwords, why must I prefix the table name with its owner while the DBconnection is already made under that owner name? Thanks in advance.Tracy

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.
Jan 22, 2008My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website.
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.
According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.

SQL Server 2005 Installation Problems With SQL Server Express && SQL Server 2000
May 31, 2006Hi Guys,
I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!)
Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing.
A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005.
So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon.
My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable?
Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.)
Thanks very much for your help.

May 4, 2007Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.

Server SQL-Server 2005 Crash While Indexing By The Server SharePoint 2007
Feb 7, 2008Hello,
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
