SQL2005 Linked Servers To DB2
Feb 7, 2007I'm currently using the IBMDA400 client access drivers for DB2 to create linked servers on SQL2005 Std.
The DB2 server version is: V5R4M0.
The error that I receive when I issue a select query using the linked server is shown below. The query works fine within SQL 2000 Std.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "LNKDSRVR" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IDBCreateCommand") from OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "LNKDSRVR".
I think this is a common error seen on most attempts to a DB2 linked server. I also confirmed that using the built-in "LocalSystem" account would make it work. Since we also want our SSIS packages to access different server "shares" we would like to continue using our domain account.
Does anyone know if there is a fix / workaround for this? or is this by design??
Thanks.

Hi
I use the following SQL statements to create a link server. RemoteServerName is an SQL2000 and I am executing this in another machine which is SQL2005.

Update Data On SQL2005 Linked Servers To DB2
Oct 25, 2007 Hi all.
I need your help.
I create a linked server on SQL 2005 server using IBMDA400 as provider.
I create a VBscript to update some data on DB2, and issue begin trans and commit trans. Kindly refer to below code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set oKCDat = CreateObject("KCDAT.kcdatapi")
Set objConnection = oKCDat.OpenConnection_SQL(strDataSource,strDB, strUserID, strPassword)
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strName = "TEST1"
strTemp1 = "2"
strTemp2 = "3"
intTemp1 = 199
strSQLStatement = "SELECT * FROM QS36F.TEST WHERE PRACNM = ''" & strName & "''"
strUpdSQL = "TEST1 = '" & strTemp1 & "', TEST2 = '" & strTemp2 & "', TEST3 = " & intTemp1
strSQL = "UPDATE OPENQUERY(TESTDB2," & "'" & strSQLStatement & "')" & " SET " & strUpdSQL & ";"
objConnection.BeginTrans
objConnection.Execute(strSQL)
objConnection.CommitTrans
objConnection.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set oKCDat = Nothing
Set objConnection = Nothing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i run above script, it prompt me an error message;
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "TESTDB2" does not support the required transaction interface."
If i run it without "begintrans" and "committrans", it update the data successfully.
Does anyone know about it?
Highly appreciated for above matters.

Sql2005 Export File To Directory
Jul 23, 2007Hi all,
I have scheduled a package to export data from the table to the execl file in the local directory, it work fine. However, when the next time you execute the package it give error on 'file already exists'. Prephap this is due to previously already created a file in the directory.
I try to use drop option in the ssis during creating the package for export, but the result still the same. I do not know the drop option is working, can someone tell me is that working fine? if not what is the solution or possible cause.
Thanks for your help.:)
Import A XML File In SQL2005 DB Using BulkInsert?
Apr 15, 2008Hi All,
I am dealing with a lot of XML file data that I load in a SQL 2005 database using Integration Services. Let me give you a high level idea of I how I do it.
The way I do it is that a) I create a blank Integration Services Project, then b) In the "Control Flow" tab I put the "Data Flow Task" by simply dragging "Data Flow Task" on to the "Control Flow" page. c) Then in the "Data Flow" tab I drag the "XML Source" as my data flow source, and drag "OLEB Destination" as my data flow destination; then I create a connection between the "XML Source" and "OLEDB Destination" and point the "XML Source" to my XML file, and I point the "OLEDB Destination" to the Database where I want to load the XML file. I configure the mappings etc if needed and run the package. This works fine for me. But if the XML file is large it takes hours to load the data. I am dealing with huge size XML files and I want an alternative in Inegration Services probably "Bulk Insert Task" but dont know how to use it.
Can someone please explain how I can use bulk insert as a fast alternative to load the data. Please list the steps.
Thans a milliom in advance.

SQL2005 Memory And Paging File Issue
Mar 28, 2007Currently, we have the following setup...
SQL 2005 Std, 8gb ram, boot ini switches for /PAE and /3GB, AWE enabled and the min/max memory settings for a single instance respectively set to 1024 and 7168. Performance-wise the system is a bit slower than before (with SQL2000) and there seems to be alot of paging. The SQL service is also running under the "LocalSystem". In this case, do I need to specify the local "SYSTEM" to have rights to "Lock pages in memory"? I have a feeling there is a misconfiguration somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Storing Html File Inside SQL2005 Database
Oct 10, 2006Dear all I create this html file on the fly in my asp.net application abd what i would like to do is to store it inside my sql2005 database. What would be the best way?The html file itself is not really big. Probably not more then 600 - 800 characters most. I was thinking the text type fields of the database and then when retreiving it dump it inside in a file and save the file with html extention. Are there any better sugestions? Thank you for your time
View 3 Replies View RelatedConverting Flat File To SQL2005 Table (Flat File From H***)
Feb 11, 2008First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.
I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).
My questions are below the sample files.
Code Snippet

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.
I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...
Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?
If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?
Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.
Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!

Upgraded SQL2000 To SQL2005, SQL2005 VERY Slow
Dec 27, 2005I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

Linked Server..... Can I Use A File DSN?
Apr 1, 2008Linked Server File DSN?
Can anyone help? I am trying to connect a Domino Server with the NotesSQL ODBC.
I was unable to set the ODBC up as a System DSN ('The setup routines for the
Lotus NotesSQL Driver (*.nsf) ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error
code 126') and had to set it up as a file DSN.
Can I still set up a Linked Server to it? I keep getting errors:
'7399 Invalid Connection String attribute]
(not sure what I was supposed to enter in the 'Product String' dialog box)
Datasource name not found and no default driver specified]....'
The file DSN was setup OK. I know this because I can use it as a connection in
DTS and successfully import various tables (although it does not work with the
import wizard?)
Does anyone know if I can use the file DSN to setup a linked server?
If so, what do I put in the 'provider string' and 'catelog' dialogs.
Any help much appreciated. wyatt.anderson@nwmhp.nhs.uk
Excel File As A Linked Server
Apr 25, 2000I am trying to link an excel file as a linked server. I tried two methods unsuccessfully.
first: using
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ex',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:list5.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0'
GO
When I run
EXEC sp_tables_ex Ex, I get the error below.
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]
Second: I link the excel file using ODBC datasource:
EXEC sp_tables_ex mylink, works fine with mylink being the linked server name. I get the table names eg. table1$, table2$.... However when I try to query the tables, I get this error:
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.

SQL 2012 :: Linked Server To CSV File

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Stats_CA".
I uninstalled and reinstalled the AccessDatabaseEngine - no change.
The provider is displayed, so it's not that.
I verified temp and csv location folder permissions
I tried the -g512 startup option
The csv has a schema.ini as required
It was an 'in place' upgrade, so nothing else has change.

I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive.
When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data.
Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'
But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.
The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.

@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeAccessSamplesNorthwind.mdb'

Cannot Initialize The Data Source.. Text File Linked Server
Sep 7, 2007Hi All,
I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.
I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".
Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?
Many thanks,
~S
P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:SSAnalysis',
NULL,
'Text'

SQL 2012 :: Allow Authenticated User To Query Excel File Via Linked Server?
May 25, 2014I have a 3rd party dashboard application that I can only use SQL authenticated logins to connect to the database.
I'm trying to create a query within the application that will directly access an excel file through a linked server.
As a test, I login to SSMS as the sql auth user to run the linked server query below but the following error is returned:
select *
from Corporate...[Sheet1$]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate".
When I login as a Windows auth user, I can successfully run the above query.
I noticed within the linked server's security definition that I cannot specify a windows auth user as the mapped Remote User or as the Remote login
I've tried creating a Credential object with the identity of the windows user and assign that object to the sql auth user but to no avail. I still get the same error
I am using SQL Server express so the option of an automated server agent job to import the excel file is not available.
Details:
SQL Server Express 2012
Office version: Excel 10
Provider: Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0
Linking SQL2005 On 64-bit To SQL2005 On 32-bit OS.
Nov 13, 2006I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks.
