Server 2003 Running Sql Server 2005. Regional Settings Are Different From All Others We Have; Can We Safely Change It?
Oct 18, 2007
Hi
We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
many thanks in advance; GaryP

Stupid question but please be gentle and answer anyway please....
Background: We have SQL Server 2003 (32bit) running on our servers. Our .Net applications (from old release of VS) are still running on them and using the old databases. From what I understand there is no immediate plans to upgrade the servers. However the developers were just given this new upgrade (2005) SQL Server and VS (and fixing depreciated code etc in the .net apps).
Question: Can the applications and new stored procedures written via the 2005 environment be deployed successfully on the 2003 Servers? Same goes with Reporting Services?

Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.

Is this supported on Windows 2003 sp2 and does anyone know how to do a silent install of this using Altiris?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I have been playing around with SSIS for a bit, and i am running into the following problem.
I am trying to import 3 worksheets from an excel file.
The import must be performed on several servers.
I created a config file for this which contains the path to the excel file and the connectionstring, and the LocaleID's of the different tasks.
I have the following tasks :
1. preparation SQL task ( this calls a few sql statements which cleanup certain import tables )
2. data flow task ( this the actual import from the excel file to several tables, this what goes wrong )
3. execute SQL task ( this calls a stored proc which does some filtering the imported data into other tables ).
point 2 is giving problems.
Point 2 will only work when i change my computers regional settings to English.
If i have my settings set to Dutch, it won;t work. Even specifying the english localeID's seem to have no effect.
The problem is a decimal field in the database, and the difference in decimal separator. When i set my regional settings to English the values in the excel are notated like 74.54 which works. And when i have the dutch regional settings the same value in excel is displayed like 74,54. I haven't got a clue how to solve this.
Is there a way to tell the SSIS to not use the regional settings, but use the settings specified in the config file ?
And if this is possible how can i check if the correct settings are used ?

Here's the situation:
I have a ssis package which receives 3 dates as input parameters (3 datetime variables), executes different data flows and at the end inserts (among some other values) these 3 dates into a custom log table.
The problem comes while inserting the values into a log table. I added an Execute SQL Task that calls a stored procedure which inserts a record into a log table (sqlStatement exec dbo.InsertIntoLog date1=?, date2=?, date3=?).
In Parameter mapping section I set parameters = variables that hold the datetime values. The problem is that the dates are inserted into the log table in American format (mm/dd/yyyy, that's the server setting), my dates are in the european format...
Any ideas how to avoid it? Is there a way to write an expression instead of the sqlStatement in which I'd do some datepart-ing?

I tried Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 - CTP December 2006.
Test settings: Windows XP SP2 english with Italian regional settings, Office 2007 english (RTM), SQL Server 2005 Developer (with SP2 CTP Dec06) and Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 (CTP Dec06).
If I keep regional settings in Italian, I get error like this:
Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))
If I change regional settings to English, the Add-in works.
I found this description as the possible cause of the problem: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178780(vs.80).aspx - if this is the issue, it would be necessary to change the ExcelLocale1033Attribute on the component.
Is there another workaround other than to install the Office 2007 MUI?

I am trying to connect to a SQL Server machine using SQL security instead of integrgated security. However, the server was setup initially to use only integrated security. When I right click on the server and select properties, I get this error:
Error 0: Cannot load the DLL xpstar.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 5(Access is denied.).
I googled this error but could not find a single solution. The dll will not register with regsvr32. Do I need to repair SQL Server and then re-run the latest service pack, or is there a simple solution?
Thanks,

I'm trying to configure SQL server 2000 (standard edition) to send e-mail on a Small Business Server 2003. There's a great article on how to do this on a SBS 2000 server (KB304967), but it does not apply to SBS 2003. Can anyone point me to a article or white paper on how to configure SQL on a SBS 2003 server to send e-mail. Thanks.

My 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.

I€™m having a few issues with a server that keeps grinding to a halt and having frequent system issues requiring a reboor. It is Sql 2000 32 bit enterprise edition running 64 bit 2003 server. Im not sure of the impact of having the AWE switch set for this server because even though it has 8Gb of RAM it is only using 262Mb and is used extensively. It is set to dynamically configure sql server memory with a minuimum memory of 3075 and maximum of 6144
Is it worth me removing the AWE option or are there any more tweaks I can make to make this system run more effectively?

I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My environment:
Home PC
Vista Ultimate
SQL Server Developer 2005
I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including:
1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005
2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication
3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB
4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent
5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site
6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still

I have a website running under Windows Server 2003 which I am trying to deploy Reportin Services to using a custom security extension using Forms authentication. There is also another website which is just a Report Server running on this IIS 6.
On my development machine, XP with IIS 5.1, the Website with Reporting Services using forms authentication works fine, shares cookies for authentication and all that jazz. but trying to configure a second instance of Reporting Services on Server 2003 is not behaving.
Is there some trickery or details involved with running two instances of Reporting Services?
Also in the Configure Report Server tool it is failing and so not initializing on the last step of the Database Setup

When my default.aspx page loads I get this error for the connection to my SQL 2005 DB. 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) I have already gone to Surface Area Configuration to ensure that Remoting with both Named Pipes or TCP/IP is enabled and it's set to both for remoting.I verified that my local account has access to the DB.Not sure what else to check.

I
am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set
the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one

physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my
cluster, I get an error every time. The
error stops the installation while checking system configuration after
installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

I recently installed SQL Server on a machine running Windows Server 2003. Before it was on my desktop. When I checked the TCP/IP settings under configuration manager, I noticed it doesnt have anything for my IP address. I just have a entry for the 127.0.01 loopback address. I know when I had it installed on my desktop there was a entry for my IP address. Is this ok or did something go wrong and it didnt set the IP address? I can still login and access the databases fine from Managament Studio.
Also would it better to have the services run as a network service or a local service?

Techs,
Every morning I come into find my LDF is about 70 gigs. So I shrink it based on the percentage it will allow because that seems safe, because this is a critical production server, which reduces the size down to 65 gigs. However, I return the next morning to find it has grown back to the original size plus some. How can I safely shrink this monster and keep it manageable?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding the optimum memory settings for SQL Server 2005. I have 4 instances running on a macine with 8 dual-core processors and 18GB of RAM. I have tried the following memory settings so far:
No maximum - one instance used about 12GB of RAM so then the others struggled
Maximum of 4GB each (2GB left for Windows) - meant that 3 instances could be using 1GB each and then another at 4GB and needing more whilst 9GB sat unused.
Minimum of 2GB each - one instance would use up 10GB and then never give any back to the other instances.
I also find that setting a maximum then just causes a high amount of paging. What I would like to do is have each instance use a minimum amount, say 1GB, and then have each instance use a maximum of 13GB (3GB for other 3 instances running at a minimum level and 2GB for Windows). This 13GB should then be released and allocated to another instance when necessary, assuming it is no longer all being used. I do not want paging to occur if an instance reaches 13GB.
How do I go about configuring SQL Server to behave like this? Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David

I am new to SQL server 2005
Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.

Re: Best Practices (security): Should SQL Server (2005) *not* be installed on the same physical HD as the Windows OS (Server 2003 R2) ?
Hi,
We're setting up some new servers, and today I'm looking into best practices for the SQL Server Setup portion of it.
The servers have include 2 x 250G HD, and from what I've read, where IIS is concerned, it should not be installed on the drive that has the OS on it, for security reasons. I was wondering if the installation of SQL Server should be on the non-OS drive as well ?
Thanx,
Barry O'Neill

I was a Oracle Developer / DBA on Unix Environments all along my career, Very recently iam starting to manage a SQL Server 2005/Windows 2003 Server setup.
Part of my new job is to automate to load Huge Data files/Flat Files (3/4 GB in size) into SQL Server 2005 DB.
Have these initial questions..
Since the files are too large to open at once... What sort of Command Line Interfaces people use on the Windows Boxes.. like doing a "wc" (Word Count) / GREP 'ng Files / Massaging Data Files one line at a time (Like using SED / AWK Commands).. Etc
Any Input / Direction is appreciated...

Hello,
I have installed SQL server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows 2003 virtual PC (full installation). The installation went through successfully. However, after install completed, I cannot find any of the client tools under the start menu -> all programs -> Microsoft SQL server 2005 menu. The only item listed under the SQL server 2005 is Configuration Tools, which is used to configure the database server.
I have tried to install the client component again (in case I didn't install them at the first place) but the installation process cannot be started since it detected that the client components have been installed already. I can also see the sql server native client running in the services.
The server engine is working fine since I can connect to that sql server using another machine where I have the client tool (SQL server management studio).
One of my friends has exactly the same problem. He installed the sql server 2005 Standard edition on windows 2003 server (full installation), but the client tools are not showing up in the start menu either.
I also checked the location for the SQL server management studio (Microsoft SQL server/90/Tools/Binn/VSShell/Common7/IDE), there is only one folder called publicAssemblies listed under. Is this correct or something is missing?
Thanks

Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
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.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?
