Sharing Hard Disk On Multiple SQL Server Instances
Jan 31, 2008
I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

Hello!
I have 2 harddisk in my computer and I have SQL 2005 Express on 1 of them (let's say C:), however, my C: is going to be full soon! Once it is full, is it possible to create a table on my other harddisk which the server can recognise?
Thanks!

I would like to know if it is possible to have different applications on separate report servers sharing one report server database. If so are there possible issues or ptfalls to this type of architecture?

I would be able to determine how much hard disk space is available on the Server with a SQL Query, and from an other computer on the LAN.
How can I do something?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I monitor a few "perfmon" counters which includes under the "system" object, "bytes transmitted/sec" and "file read bytes/sec". Every once in awhile, these counters will skyrocket, which can also be verified by the hard drive lights flickering like mad.
The only software installed on the machine is SQL Server 2K.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could monitor within SQL 2K what process or user is using all of these cycles. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I would like to find out which database/query is doing this to minimize in the future as this affects all of the other connections.
Thanks in advance,
Brent.

Hello People,
I have began to store binary data in my database, for example word documents, PDF's....etc.
But now my database file is growing beyond what I want, and I need to move all of the files out of the DB onto normal hard disk space.
Is there anyway, say by using a bulk copy command, that I can write all the contents of the table into a folder on my hard disk...???
My database table consists of ID(int), Filename(varchar), Filetype(varchar), Filesize(varchar), Filebody(image)
Any help would be extremely appreciated.....
Many Thanks,
Alan...

Hi All,
We have here a WinForms Application on laptops that uses SQL Express as its database. Initially all was going well, then it was decided that the laptop Hard Drive should be encrypted. Thats when the fun started.
It is now very hit and miss as to whether we can connect to SQL and service pack 2 will not install.
So now to the question :-
Does anyone know if there are any compatablity issues with SQL 2005 Express and hard disk encryption (particularly BeCrypt).
Thanks
Steve

Hello,I am trying to recover a SQL Server 7 database from another hard diskdrive that has a corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation. Iam not able to repair the corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Serverinstallation but the file system is intact. I have installed a new copyof SQL Server 7 onto a new hard disk and have used the sp_attach_dbsystem stored procedure to attach the database from the old hard driveinto the new installation of SQL Server 7 on the new hard drive. Thedatabase shows up in the Enterprise Manager View and all the data andstructure are there, but when I try to run a Web site that uses ODBCconnections to the database I get the following error:ODBC Error Code = 08001 (Unable to connect to data source)[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL servernot found.I have double-checked that all the NTFS permissions, ODBC DSNs, and WebServer settings are correct and when I run the SQL Server ODBC drivertest at the completion of each ODBC DSN setup, it is successfull.1) Why am I getting this ODBC error?2) What steps have I missed in the recovery process?3) If I have done something wrong recovering my database, can I stillrecover it since I still have: a) The old master database file and logfile; b) The old database (non-master) file and log file; c)A backed-up(Enterprise Manager -> Right Click A Database -> All Tasks -> BackupDatabase) copy of the old database (non-master) file; ?My System Specifications:-Windows 2000 Advanced Server-SQL Server 7-IIS 5.0-Cold Fusion Server 4.5 Professional Full EditionThanks For Your Time,Nathan

Hi,
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING)
for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..)
I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on
the reporting side) ?
Greetings

I am running SQL 7.0 as the default instance and SQL 2K as a named instance. Each is using a different port....7.0 is using port 1433 and 2K is using 1024. Everything appears to be up and running fine on the server. However, I am not able to access the 2K instance from a client. I have tried to use both TCP IP and named pipes setting them up using the server network utility and the client network utility. No luck anywhere. I continue to get connection errors...check network documentation...
ANY IDEAS??????

Hi guys,I've got two apps that are going to have pretty much the same users and i wanted them to have the same ASPNET.MDF user database. Is it possible to store the ASPNET.MDF in a different location and then have the two apps access it from there or alternatively have it in the App_Data folder of one of the apps and then have the second app access it from there?Thanx

Does 7.0 allow multiple databases to share a data file/log file?
Will a large data device file shared by 10-25 databases present any problems?

I'm looking for some advice on how to manage reports that use the same query in their datasets. I have multiple reports that use several datasets that are the same. If I need to make a change to one dataset, I need to remember to update the other datasets. Of course I don't always remember to do that!
Is there a way to create a dataset in a single location and then share it? I was thinking of using a View but I don't think it'll accept the parameters.
I've been cutting & pasting the entire query as I make change but I'm afraid it'll mess that up or forget to update a dataset.
How do you do it?
Any suggestions you have would be helpful.

Dear Listers,
1.) Is it possible to install Analysis Services on multiple SQL Server 2000 instances? If it is, then can you instruct me as to how to perform the install. If it is not possible, then does one restrict access to cube data via the Database Role Manager?
ie. The host box is - DOILAB30 with Analysis Services & SP2
Instance - DOILAB30/DOILAB30_FIN (Can AS be installed here?)
Do I severely restrict the membership of OLAP Admins?
2). Re. AS maintenance. - How do I backup and restore OLAP dbs/cubes etc. Following a restore, what issues, such as cube users/permissions should I be aware of? (if any).
TIA
John

Hello all,
I am trying to built a general demo machine for our multiple resellers.
Is it possible to have multiple database instances (one per reseller) with each of them their own reporting instance, running on the same server (also same IIS). In our DNS and in the IIS settings i will reroute the specific reseller to his specific reporting url (eg: http://www.demosite.reseller1.com/reports (this is not a real url), will be rerouted via dns to the
specific reporting url for reseller one ... and so on.)
Each reseller must be able to has it own reports, subscriptions, models and access to reportbuilder.
Can this be accomplished ?
I have tried already a few times but get stuck when i want to upload reports/datasources to the specific websites. Also i have encountered the fact that if i succeed in uploading data to one reporting site and i want to upload different data to
another site, the initial site is also changed with the data of the second upload.
Can anyone point me into the right direction how to solve this problem .
Greetings
Vinnie

Hi all,
Can a MIRROR server have mirrored databases on many instances or must all of the mirrored databases on a server reside on one instance?
This initial implementation worked fine:
PRINCIPAL ServerPROD1instance01 endpoint1430
MIRROR ServerDRinstance01 endpoint1440
WITNESS ServerZ endpoint1450
This second implementation (different PRINCIPAL server to same MIRROR but to a different instance)
PRINCIPAL ServerPROD2instance5 endpoint1430
MIRROR ServerDRinstance02 endpoint1440 <<same mirror server but different instance
WITNESS ServerZ endpoint1450
I know that you can only install one endpoint on each server. Does that mean that the endpoint can only resolve to one instance though?
The second implementation looks fine until the final step (start mirroring). I get the following error:
An error occured while starting mirroring
Alter failed for database 'test'
An exception occurred while executing transaction-sql statement or batch
The remote copy of database 'test' does not exist. Check the database name and resissue the command
I have created the test database in instance02 and rolled a log onto it. It is currently in recovery mode - waiting patiently for another log.....
I have read books online and 2k5 unleashed but can't see anything that relates to an implementation across mutliple instances on the DRmirrored servers.
Has anyone tried to do this? Can you confirm its possible?
Many thanks in advance...

Greetings... I'm working at consolidating several Reporting Services installations into one so we can decommission some old servers. We have two Report Servers that are in SQL Server 2000 and three that are in SQL Server 2005 (none are in a web farm configuration). I can upgrade the 2000 databases to 2005 format just fine, but now how do I merge these five ReportServer/ReportServerTempDB databases into one? I'm reluctant to redeploy reports to the "official" Report Server because we lose security, subscription, and scheduling information by doing that. So redeploy would cost us time and data loss over hundreds of reports, thus my hope to merge the databases at a data level. Is there a tool to automate this process, or has anyone tried this before? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1
Thanks,
James

I was told that if I wanted to setup mirroring between multiple instance on the same server that each endpoint had to be different number. Is that true? Or can I use the default 5022 for each instance?
Ex.
Server1Instance1
Use endpoint 5022
Server1Instance2
Use endpoint 5022
VS
Server1Instance1
Use endpoint 5022
Server1Instance2
Use endpoint 5023

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
Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server

Hi
We are trying to setup a number of SQL Server 2005 database instances on a single server. The server has multiple IP addresses bound to its network interface (card). Each instance is configured to listen on a specific (unique) port on 127.0.0.1 and port 1433 on a specific (unique) IP address configured on the network interface. Finally, there is another instance of SQL Server (which also has the Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services installed) that does not allow remote connections and has TCP/IP disabled.
SSL is configured for all instances, apart from the non-remote connections instance, as follows: The same self-signed certificate is specified for every instance. This certificate has been configured for all 127.0.0.1 ports and port 1433 on all IPs in use for any of the instances using httpcfg as documented. The Force Encryption option is enabled and the Hide Instance option is disabled.
All appears to work correctly, and the "The certificate was successfully loaded for encryption" message appears when sp_readerrorlog is run, for the instances it is supposed to. However, at some point a problem occurs. The Force Encryption and Hide Instance labels _disappear_ (leaving blank spaces in the grid) from the interface, with the drop-down settings still visible. This seems to happen after installing an additional instance, although on one occasion it was after the 3rd was installed and on another occasion the 4th. Uninstalling the instances (even all of them) does not seem to help - only removing SQL Server 2005 completely and re-installing allowed the labels to re-appear.
Another concern is that after problem occurs, it appears that the settings are not being interpreted correctly. Even if the certificate is disabled for an instance, the message "The certificate was successfully loaded for encryption" appears, instead of the instance using a self-signed certificate. Additionally, on some occasions, the values for the Force Encryption and Hide Instance are swapped (or at least the values in the positions that used to be inline with the labels for these options).
As an additional note, various IIS Web Sites are configured on each of the IPs on the network interface. These are also using the same self-signed certification for SSL and are all using port 443, which none of the SQL server instances are configured to use.
Any feedback or suggestions on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
