I installed SQL Sp2 and at the same time took Carbon Copy off. No when the machine comes up neither SQL Server or the Agent will not come up. If I go to Service manager I can start both just fine. Nothing in either log to show why. Anyplace or any thoughts
View 2 RepliesHello all,
We are deploying an application using SQL Server Express to a wide variety of desktop and laptop machines. We are currently trying to decide whether we should install the SQL Server instance service to start automatically at startup or not. In the latter case, our application would start and stop the service.
Starting automatically will make our app load more quickly, which is important to our users. However, our support team is concerned that leaving the service running will leave our databases vulnerable to becoming "suspect" if, for example, a laptop user's battery dies suddenly. Of course this will always be a problem if the app is running, but our support team believes that having the service running all the time will increase the chances of this happening. One reason for their concern is that an older version of the software used MSDE which was running all the time, and they saw a good number of suspect database issues.
What is the best practice for leaving the service running, especially when there are a lot of laptop users?
Thanks,
Ben
I have a problem with a server where for some reason when it is rebooted the SQLAgent service does not start automatically. You have to go into control panel, services and start it, even the it is set to Automatic.
Thanking in advance for any ideas??
I am a beginner with regard to SQL Server, having previously used Access 2000 databases in my programs.
Recently I installed VB 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express on both my desktop computer and my laptop and have been working at migrating one of my earlier programs, written in VB6 /Access 2000, to VB Express 2005.net/SQL Server 2005.net.
Whilst my desktop version works well, I found that, for some unknown reason, SQLEXPRESS refuses to start automatically on my laptop, despite the fact that it is set that way. (It will start if I open the Configuration Manager and start it from there.) Since the configuration settings on my laptop are the same as those that work on my desktop, I cannot understand why the laptop version doesn't work.
Has anyone any ideas?

I have installed reporting services from SQL Express SP1 package. OS is Windows 2000 SP4. Just after installation "Reporting services" service has StartMode=Automatic and LogOnAS=LocalSystem as shown in SQL Server Configuration Manager. When system is rebooted reporting services state is Stopped and there is 2 errors in System log:
1. Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service to connect.
2. The SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
If i select "start" from service's context menu then it starting normally and it's state becomes Running.
What can i do to make reporting services starting automatically on system load?
I need to load the latest csv files from file server , The files are placed in a folder called -

I am having difficulty picking up the latest folder which is posted on the server and import it into database using a stored proc .
How do I stop a remote query that INSERTS into a local table from being automatically "upgraded" to a distributed transaction?
I am using Windows 2000 server and SQL Server 2000 SP3a on both machines.
I am executing the following statement in Query analyzer.
INSERT MyLocalServer (col1)
EXECUTE MyRemoteServer.Master.dbo.sp_executesql
@RemoteQuery,
@ParameterDefinition,
@Paramter = 'somevalue'
@RemoteQuery consists of a SELECT four-table join, all tables are on the same linked server.
The Linked server has been set up on MyLocalServer using the "Microsoft OLE DB for SQL Server" provider. In the "Provider Options" for the linked server properties I checked "Non transacted updates" and "dynamic parameters". In the "Server Options" tab I have checked "RPC", "RPC Out", "Data Access".
The EXECUTE part of the query runs great (and returns the data very fast) by itself. But with the INSERT part, the query fails and returns the error:
"Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 17
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]."
The two servers are seperated by firewalls, so I believe the reason the query is failing is that I haven't followed the procedures for setting up the ports etc described in one of the microsoft support articles: e.g.: 250367.
Configuring the ports involves too much company politics, and besides, for what this query does, it does not need the benefits of a distributed transaction.
How can I execute my query without SQL Server automatically trying to upgrade it to a distributed transaction?
More Info: I can execute the query as a straight INSERT/SELECT linked-server query and it does the INSERT on the local SQL Server just like I want it to, so I assume it is not trying to use distributed transactions; but it takes around 7 seconds to run even though the entire SELECT is executed on the linked server, whereas executing with sp_executesql takes only 1 second.
I thought selected "non-transacted updates" in the provider would solve this problem, but it did not.
Anyone know the answer?

I'm looking for a way to get the name of the server on which the DTS package lives.
I copy packages between servers. The problem is that everytime a package is copied
to different server, I have to change the reference in the connection strings to point
to the new server name. I'd like to find an automatic way to interrogate the server
name where the package currently lives and dynamically change connection strings
from within an ActiveX task. That would cut maintenance way down.
Hi,
I have SQL server running on windows Adv Server 2000. Since last couple days whole computer restart every one hours. Only thing I remember doing was to shrink database db size is 200+GB.
How can I fix this problem.
Any help will be highly appreciated?

Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a way that the SQL server resets every few hours. I am using an application which is heavily utilising SQL server and the server crashes every now and then. I can reset it manually but I was wondering if there is a way that it detects the crash and reset itself automatically. Thanks a million in advance.
I have a laptop with vista and sql 2005. When i start my computer, after it boots up and is ready to go, I look in the task manager at the process tab. Some sort of SQL Server component is running and eating up about 50k's worth of memory. What is it and how do set either Vista or SQL Server to not start whatever this is unless I do it manually(oh yeah...how would I turn it on?)and what are the ramifications of not having it start up when i start my laptop?
I know it is a rather rambling question, but its the best I can describe it. Thanks in advance for your help!

A section of this company's intranet site where I just started interning at has little company anniversary and birthday sections that look like (for the anniversary section.. in the birthday section, it looks the same, except it doesn't say how old the comployee is):
-Steve Cunningham 6/1 - 6 yrs
-Andrew Brown 6/3 - 11yrs
-Lisa Stone 6/4 - 3 yrs
How can I get it so instead of manually changing that text every month, it will look at a SQL database and automatically change that text every month? I'm guessing the pseudocode would be if the b-day or anniv. month matches the current month, display the first and last name, the date, and number of years (which would have to be calculated maybe?) Any help would be GREAT! Thanks!!

We need to be able to query both databases so mirroring isn't an option.
Hi all,
I import MS Excel 2003 spread sheet in MS SQL Server 2000 through MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager (rightclick on the table to be filled with dataall taskimport data). My excel file have 2000 rows and 100 columns of data. All the data are imported in relevant attributes cells in good manner. But the rows are sorted automatically. I am trying to say that first row data is match with my excel file. But second row data have gone to 7th row and 7th row have gone to 5th row like that. I need the data sequence what I have in my excel file. What is the problem occurred? How can I solve this?
Can I export my MS Excel 2003 file to MS SQL Server database?
Please help me. I don't have more knowledge in MS SQL Server 2000.
If your answer has any query to run then please mention where should I run that query.

I have developing sample application for automatically send failure mail to respective person. Also i have storing all the failure mail details to database for unavailability of mail server. Once if the mail server available that time we will send all the failure mail to respective person.
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan anyone direct me to a code that would automatically apply transaction logs to a DB in the standby server? We have a process that dumps the transaction log backup from the primary server into the backup server every hour on the hour, but I need to apply that transaction log as soon as it is in the standby server.
I am sure someone will ask, why not do transactional replication or log shipping? My answer to that is I have yet to learn how to setup replication between servers. I need to get our backup server up and running in the next few days.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is the weirdest this I have ever seen in a long time. I have MS SQL Server running on a server and use Enterprise Manager a lot. Well, the damndest thing happens when I log onto the server from the console and run Enterprise Manager. If I go into Enterprise Manager, and go to a database and then select a table and right-click, and run the "Open Table" option; the entire Enterprise Manager application mysterously closes.
This only happens from the server console and through Remotely Anywhere...it does not happen when I log onto the server from Remote Desktop.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Does anyone know a fix for this?
I have a SSIS data flow task that downloads data from an Oracle source which has some real dates and some date values of 0001-01-01 which I am trying to convert to '1900-01-01' using a decode(Date1,'0001-01-01','1900-01-01',Date1). The problem I am having is that when I run the package in Business Intelligence Development Studio on my local machine the date value is stored correctly in the SQL table in a datetime field as 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM, however when I run the package from the server the field gets saved as 1/1/2001 12:00:00 AM.
I have tried a bunch of ways to work around this issue and the only solution I have found that works it to download into a temp table and then load into the live table. Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this issue when I run the package from the server?
I have a problem setting the default value of a column. I am trying to set it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),0))
However, SQL Server automatically sets it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),(0)))
While it functionally does not change anything, we have a tool which compares the database schema against a pre-existing schema and shows this as an error.I have tried setting the value directly and through scripts but it does not work either way.

I have a SQL Server 2005 HTTP endpoint. I create a transaction scope in a client application and call two methods on that endpoint. Will the operations performed in the two methods, really, be in a transaction?
In other words, will SQL Server enlist in the ambient transaction even when I am accessing it through a HTTP endpoint?
Thanks.
1) RS Start in Window Severvices
2) RS Start in Configration
1) and 2) Is Same?
I think that It looks like same Operation.
automatically replicates new databases to Availability Group partners - if you do a little prep work on your environment first.To make it work:
1) Create linked servers on all group members pointing to all other servers in the group, with names matching the hostnames they represent.
2) Ensure suitable credentials (or 'current context' impersonation) for linked servers. Also: Enable RPC and RPC OUT
3) Run the DDL code below.
4) Schedule hadr_replicate_queue on [master] to run as often as you want initial syncs to occur. Every 5-10 minutes is plenty for most purposes.
5) Connect to an availability group listener and call CREATE DATABASE :)
I use a slightly more extended version of this code at home to do things like permissions synchronization across replicas - I essentially allow applications to install direct to an availability group replica and then have all the relevant objects replicate to other nodes. I don't really like going through manually and doing things, even though there's an AddIn from SQLSkills for management studio - it still requires manual intervention.
The main use I have for this at home is that I'm using the Azure pack, and want to automatically ensure that my newly created 'SQL Server Cloud' databases are highly available, plus it means when I install a non-alwayson aware product it doesn't require any extra work afterwards to allow failover to another machine.

I have a client data which has the candidate id, a start date which will have only the date in varchar format and a time value associated to that date in varchar format in a seperate column.
To give a brief explanation about the data a candidate will come to study center at any time point in a day for example 10:00 AM on 20-10-2014. The start date will be 20-10-2014 and from 10:00 AM he will have test based on the time point. So if the time point is 2 HR, then at 12:00 PM he will have a test. If the time point is 8 HR, it will get added with 10:00 AM and based on this he will have the test at 06:00 PM. When the timepoint reaches 00:00 the start date needs to be the next date instead of 20-10-2014.
The start date needs to be appended with the time value such that when it crosses over the time 00:00, the start date needs to get increased by 1 ie the next day. I have added the start date to the time by using the code below
CAST(STARTDATE as datetime) + CAST(CAST(STUFF([TIME],3,0,':') as time(0)) as datetime) as [EXPECTEDDATETIME]
By this above code i have created the expected datetime however
I will not be able to hardcode the value due to dynamic data. I tried to apply >= and < to the time value something like
case when MyTime >= '00:00' and MyTime < '08:10' the Dateadd(day, 1, date)
This works perfect but my concern is that I cannot put the value 08:10 because it will not a constant value for all rows.
I have provided a screenshot of my data and a expected date column for reference.
Candidate StartDateStartTimeExpected DateTime Timepoint

I have also attached the data for reference.
our clients have the flexibility to detach and attach databases (I know there are a lot of considerations around this but there is now way of changing it), once they attach a database we need to run some code to update a bunch of values in the database.
Other than creating a SQL Agent job are there any other options available to automatically execute a script once the database has been attached?
I come cross some post about how to backup a database in Sql Server Management Studio Express automatically. The scripts look like as below
USE [master]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase]
@databaseName sysname
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000)
DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20)
SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),'/','') +
REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),':','')
SET @sqlCommand = 'BACKUP DATABASE ' + @databaseName +
' TO DISK = ''C:Backup' + @databaseName + '_Full_' + @dateTime + '.BAK'''
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand
END
It throws that the DDL statement is not allowed. What's wrong with it?
We have a production server "prod" which has a user say 'test' that lets the users connect to the application and a logon trigger which stops them from connecting to the server through SSMS. I log ship 'prod' to the 'rep' database and the user 'test' is obviously created in the logshipped database 'rep' during the logshipping.
Now the login 'test' does not have any login from server 'rep', But people can still login to the 'rep' server and query the 'rep' db . I checked with SUSER_SNAME and found the SID of the user in rep server which I never created and which is not even present in the login names, Even If I create a new username in the 'prod' db, after logshipping the new user is replicated in the 'rep' server.
I have a report that is scheduled to run a once a week. This works fine. But now I would like this report to be saved as an Excel file automatically when it runs. how / where do I do this?
