Does anyone know if SQL7 will work with Storage Area Networks(SAN's)? I've read that SQL2000 implements something called a Virtual Interface System Area Network (VI SAN) that allows communication with devices connected via a SAN.
My site is installing a SAN and I need to know if SQL7 can utilize those resources (Storage,etc) and how reliable if so.

I have a SQL server with multiple instances on it and would like to move one of them to a drive with more storage.
I have SQL 2010 on a server with 2 partitions.
The database is located on the C: drive (original build) but the drive isn't partitioned to handle a db of the size that this one will grow to. I would like to move the full DB instance to another partition.
How to implement distinct storage tiers on SQL Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)?
I want to use this SQL Feature to move files(images, videos, pdf files) from a database to a distinct database dedicated to RBS. Then I want to have several storage tiers, where objects will be saved and moved according access frequency. Old data will be arquived in cheap storage, but it must be always accessible if needed.
Description:
- 1st and main tier: new and frequently accessed objects stored in high performance storage;
- 2nd tier: automatically move older or less accessed objects to an inexpensive and different storage tier;
- in all cases, all objects must be accessible to all users, but accessing to archived objects(2nd tier) will be much slower;
I am a Windows developer for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server (TSMS) product.
Our product installation is built with InstallShield and uses the Windows Installer.
On a new installation of Windows 2003 x64 Storage Server R2, at a customer's site, the TSMS product fails to install.
The install of the OS has version 3.01.400.3959 of the Windows Installer and I see no newer version that installs.
Part of our product is 32 bit (console) and another part is x64 (server).
When installing I can see that the install's default is being redirected/reset to C:Program Files (x86)TivoliTSM after it is explicitly set by a custom action to ..Program Files.. . I further observe that our custom actions to write 64 bit registry entries are being refused.
REGSAM samMask = KEY_ALL_ACCESS;
if ( regIsWow64Process () ) samMask = samMask | KEY_WOW64_64KEY;
lStatus = RegCreateKeyEx( hLocalConnectKeyRoot,
szSubkey,
0L,
NULL,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
samMask,
NULL,
hKey,
&dw ) ;
The above fails to create the key.
We have tried four versions of our TSMS spanning many changes but the install acts the same.
This does not happen on any other Windows OS we test on but we do not test on Windows 2003 Storage Server R2 being that it is an OEM product. We did test on Windows server 2003 R2 x64 and do not see this problem.
Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
I have full installation traces but can only see that the registry work is being refused. I can't see why.
I am wondering the best way to go about a task I have been assigned. We have two similar websites but each is located on a different network. One network is secure so it cannot be accessed on the normal WWW. The secure network will contain the master database. I need to write a program or do something with SQL server to retrieve all records from the WWW site and get them onto the secure database. I also in the future will need to update records from the WWW site if they have been updated. What is the easiest way to move data from one network to the other when I cannot connect to both databases simultaneously?
Thanks,
Matt

Is there a way to do this! HELP!
How to establish connection string for sql server on non-domain network?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a test table (name - "Nset") with the columns:
id (int), n1 (float), n2 (float), n3 (float) and c1 (varchar).
Then filled a table the followings information:
id n1 n2 n3 c1
1 0,1 0,1 0,6 one
2 0,2 0,1 0,5 one
3 0,7 0,5 0,1 two
4 0,4 0,9 0,3 two
5 0,5 0,1 0,5 three
And created a neural network with tuning by default. "id"-field is the key. n1, n2 and n3 are inputs. c1 - predict.
Then i tryed predict query, like:
SELECT
PREDICT([Nset].[c1])
FROM
[Nset]
NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN
(SELECT 0,5 AS [n1], 0,1 AS [n2], 0,5 AS [n3]) AS t
The result is "three". This is correct. And some other tests appeared correct.
But, when I filled the column c1 with numerical values (one = 1, two=2, three=3) and changed type to int, a predict query left off to work correctly.
Previous query return 4.
And other tests showed that a value returned large on unit.
Is this correct?
Thanks.
1) Scaling of Inputs
Is the standarization of the inputs done automatically when running the Microsoft Neural Network algorithm or I should be transforming the variables before running the algorithm?
2) Predicted Probabilities
How do I create a table with the actual predicted probabilities of the model for each observation? In the Mining Model Prediction tab the output would be either 0 or 1, my question is how can I obtain the actual value of the estimated probability?
I am getting negative predictions (continuous) from a neural network model that has been trained on data that only contains positive values or zeros (no nulls).
Is there a setting that can limit the lower end of the output range to zero?
I am trying to get familiar with Microsoft neural networks to predict property prices. The results are better but I wanted to amend the default parameters passed to the neural network.
So on MINING MODEL TAB when I right click and go into SET ALGORITHM PARAMETERS, I can't see any parameters there, if I try to enter a parameter for example MAXIMUM_STATES and process the model I get the following error message
"The 'maximum_states' data mining parameter is not valid for the 'My Model' model"
I also added a decision tree model to the same structure and when go into SET ALGORITHM PARAMETERS pop menu it comes with many pre populated parameters with default values.
My question is that why I am unable to add parameters to the NEURAL NETWORK and why it does not come with pre populated parameters like DECISION TREES.
Your help will be much appreciated.
I have some accounting data, with some transaction attributes and amounts.
I'm using Decision Trees to try and predict the next month's amount for certain combinations of attributes.
I've tried two different structures for the model:
A: one with 9 discrete text input attributes.
B: And another with the same 9 attributes + a avarage Amount for all combinations of the nine attribute for every transaction.
When i've processed them and look in the dependency network, it says that the strongest link for the structure A is attribute "1".
And for the second its the avarage-Amount attribute.
Okey, that seems fine, but the second strongest link in structure B is attribute "2".
Shouldn't it be attribute 1 like in structure A?
Second question, if I run the same data in a Neural Network model, the prediction becomes much worst then the decision tree.
I get many predictions that are negative values even though all training data contains positiv values.
The StDev becomes the same for every row also..
What am I doing wrong with that one. I have alot of transactions and a read somewhere that a Neural Network should work better than a decision tree in a case similar to mine.
The score in the "Lift chart" for the Neural Network model becomes 0,00 and for Decision Trees with the same data I get around 110.
Hello,
In SQL Servern Books is written:
SQL Server Authentication is provided for backward compatibility only. When possible, use Windows Authentication.
How can Windows Authentication be realized in small networks from two ore more computers running Windows XP?
Having all a application written in VB Net 2005 for example, which connects to a central database on one computer. Where the cost and afford for a domain controller running Windows Server is not necessary.
If Windows Authentication can't be realized or can't be realized easy in such a scenario, and SQL Server Authentication is not supported any more, then SQL Server can't be taken as database server for this scenario, where the focus is at simplicity and low cost.

Hello there,
I'm currently building up a SQL 2005 Active/Standby cluster in a DMZ. I have three NIC's in each server.
Each NIC is connected to a different network:
192.168.100.1 is the public NIC
10.0.0.1 is the NIC used for communication betwen the cluster nodes (heartbeat)
192.168.200.1 is the admin NIC
I have installed my cluster using the 192.168.100.0 network for public access. This means that my SQL virtual ip is 192.168.100.10
Each server can be administered over the 192.168.200.0 network (admin) and the cluster/sql sever ip is available from the 192.168.100.0 (public) network.
Now for my question: How can I assign a ip address from my admin network (e.g.192.168.200.10) to the existing SQL server cluster to make it available from my admin network while keeping the public ip.
Thanx in advance!

I am having trouble setting up my Pull Subscription and I am new to replication.
I have several servers hosting a databased website that will be the same, except for user input and traffic. Quite simply, I need to copy most tables, SPs and data from network to network. I can't use FTP/Web synch ... as I mentioned the networks do not touch eachother or the internet.
On server Web1, it was easy to create a Publication called Pub via the wizard for my database: TheDB. Then on Web1, again, I added a Subscription to the Publication, indicating my second server, Web2, and the same database name: TheDB (I have already backed up and restored TheDB to all my servers). Here's one of the sp's I ran on Web1:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'Pub', @subscriber = N'Web2'', @destination_db = N'TheDB', @sync_type = N'Automatic', @subscription_type = N'pull', @update_mode = N'read only'
GO
This is where I feel stuck. Using the wizard on Web2 doesn't allow me to see Web1. So I tried the following on Web2:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addpullsubscription @publisher = N'Web1', @publication = N'Pub', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @independent_agent = N'True', @subscription_type = N'pull', @description = N'', @update_mode = N'read only', @immediate_sync = 1
exec sp_addpullsubscription_agent @publisher = N'Web1', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @publication = N'Pub', @distributor = N'Web1', @distributor_security_mode = 1, @distributor_login = N'', @distributor_password = null, @enabled_for_syncmgr = N'False', @frequency_type = 1, @frequency_interval = 0, @frequency_relative_interval = 0, @frequency_recurrence_factor = 0, @frequency_subday = 0, @frequency_subday_interval = 0, @active_start_time_of_day = 0, @active_end_time_of_day = 0, @active_start_date = 0, @active_end_date = 19950101, @alt_snapshot_folder = N'', @working_directory = N'', @use_ftp = N'True', @job_login = null, @job_password = null, @publication_type = 0
GO
I copied the snapshot folder, ie. 20070709134423, onto CD and moved it into Web2's default replication folder, but I always receive: cannot connect to Distibutor. I've tried using an Alias, as well, but don't understand exactly how I should point that either. I checked the publication's PAL and my Web2 user has rights and is an owner of the Web2 TheDB database.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a production website at Godaddy and an ASP.net 2.0 page that successfull connects to a SQL 2005 instance provided by Godaddy using SQL authentication(User ID/Password). The Godaddy database has become too small (200MB limit) and the plan is to use the SQL Server 2005 standard edition at my office. In other words, I want to host my own SQL server and keep the front-end at Godaddy.
The ASP.net test page at Godaddy generates the basic connection errors when attempting to connect to my SQL server at the office. This error has several variations depending on how the connection string is configured:
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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
In this case the connection string is:
Data Source=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=Test; User ID=xxx; Password=xxx"
I've embedded this connection string directly into the ASP.net test page in order to make this page independent of the web.config file.
My MS SQL server is on a Small Bussiness Server 2003 with Sharepoint and Remote Workplace running, and this machine is behind a linksys router, and Routing and Remote Access is running in place of windows firewall.
I've openned ports TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 on the router and Routing and Remote Access. Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx 1433 connects successfull, and the SQL log shows listening on 1433. I don't know if telnet is telling me that there is successful connection to the port on the router, or if it makes it all the way to the SQL server.
The SQL server is running the default instance MSSQLSERVER. Locally, I am able to connect using SQL 2005 Studio, and I am able to confirm this activity in the SQL log. Since I've openned port 1433, I also see numerous dictionary attacks in the SQL Log. Based on this, remote connectivity is there.
The strange observation is that the SQL log shows no sign of a connection attempt from the ASP.net page. The connection appears to be failing before it reaches the SQL server. I've openned ports in the Linksys router and the NAT/Firewall the same way I've openned them for Sharepoint and Remote Workplace.
I also found that when I move the ASP.net test page to another ISP, then the SQL connection that worked from the Godaddy website, is no longer able to connect. An explanation of this would also be very helpful to me.
Is there something that needs to be configured to expose the SQL server to ASP.net pages that is different from remote access?
Does IIS need to somehow be involved?
Is there something in Small Business Server 2003 that could be interferring with ASP.net page requests to the SQL server?
Do I need to run my machine as a web server to make this work?
Any help with this configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to display fields from 2 datasets in one table?
We have the need to determine surrounding counties of a particular county.
For example how can I determine, if I entered a zip code for Contra Costa and the property is also right on the line of alameda that Alameda is a neighboring county of Contra Costa
Could it be determined by the longitude and latitude of the zip code in comparison with the counties?
Up til now i've been working with Access, i have only got a few weeks experience with SQL, so dont eat me.
I set up a SQL Database, and placed it into my site, etc, set up all the connection strings. It connects fine, but cannot log in. It tells me;
Cannot open database "C:USERSJAREDDESKTOPSTYXSTYX - BUILD 2APP_DATASTYXDB.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'Webdev01Jared'.
I'm running Vista (x86), and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, and i'm aware that Vista by default does not automatically enable remote access in SQLExpress for local admins.
So i go into Surface Area Configuration. I've read about it, and it's two steps, Click "Add New Administrator", then select the priveleges in the left box and click the button to put them in the right box. Simple enough, and it works, sure, click the button, it moves across, done.
But. Hit OK. It's done nothing, i still cant connect, and the cherry on top; open up the SAC again to check and there is nothing in the right box. It's exactly how it was before i changed it. The problem is definitely this, and not the account, as i can log in for SQL Management Studio just fine, with the same windows authentication credentials.
Thanks in advance.
We are trying to determine what SQL Server 2000 Edition is required for our environment. We really don't need any of the features that Enterprise Edition offers over Standard Edition, except that our disk storage is on a System Area Network (SAN). BOL says that SAN is not supported under Standard Edition, but I am under the impression, that if we are not using distributed queries or replication, then Enterprise Edition is not neccessary.
Any help?

Is there a way to set the default so that the parameter area is displayed by default when running a report in Report Manager. Currently you have to go up and hit the arrows to open the parameter area. I'd like it to be open by default.
Thanks.
We have some reports that allow null values for parameters and I find the "Null" label next the parameters in the report viewer to be completly the wrong thing i want to show to business users.
Has anyone worked out a way to change this label to something more meaningful?

Hello, I've installed SQLServer2k5 Sept CTP with the following config: W2K SP4 Pro, SQL2K5 Std Sept CTP complete clean install. Everything works except SAC for features. I get the error below when trying to start it. SAC for Services & Connections connects without problem and has local & remote connections via both TCP/IP and Named Pipes enabled for the server, and local & remote connections enabled for analysis services. All SQL2K5 components & services are started in the Services control panel. I've looked at port useage, wondering if some other process is using the port that SAC for features is pinging, but since SAC for Services & Connections works fine that doesn't seem to be culprit.
I also get an error when running the Tuning Advisor, saying it can't connect, but demoted that to just a warning by closing some extraneous connections to the servere (had >10 open). Still get a warning, but it doesn't prevent the Tuning Advisor from completing.
I've tried turning on and off various services, from Remote Registry Service to IIS, but no luck. Anyone know what else I chould check to troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could help me. I have very little SQL knowledge and would like a push in the right direction:
I have a application that receives GPS lattitude and longitude values. I was originally using file base system where I would load all the points from the file into memory and do the calculations in the software but I now would like to use SQL Server Express.
I have created the tables:
[Table 1] GPS Points:
id int Primary key
latitude real
longitude real
desc nvarchar(128)
[Table 2] GPS Locations (comprises of one or more GPS Points from [1] above) to form a boundary:
GPS Locations database structure is:
locationId int primary key
gpspoint1 int
gpspoint2 int
gpspoint3 int
gpspoint4 int
desc nvarchar(128)
Table 2 contains up to 4 gps points ids from table 1 and GpsPoints1-4 can be null.
I have created the tables and I have inserted GPS values into both tables.
My problem:
I am trying to compare the current Lat/Lon (which are passed into the SQL fuction as two real datatype value) and I want to return all Table 2 locationId's where the current Lat/Lon are withing GPSPoints1-4 area.
gpspoint1, gpspoint2, gpspoint3, gpspoint4 reference an id from Table 1. I am not sure how I can do this?
I have implemetned a SQL function that returns all points from Table 1 that are within the predefined radius of 1.5 miles from the current Lat/Lon values passed in.
select desc,latitude,longitude, acos(SIN( PI()* @LatDec /180 )*SIN( PI()*latitude/180 )
)+(cos(PI()* @LatDec /180)*COS( PI()*latitude/180) *COS(PI()*longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180)
)* 3963.191 AS distance
FROM GpsPoints
WHERE 1=1
AND 3963.191 * ACOS( (SIN(PI()* @LatDec /180)*SIN(PI() * latitude/180)) +
(COS(PI()* @LatDec /180)*cos(PI()*latitude/180)*COS(PI() * longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180))
) < = Radius
ORDER BY 3963.191 * ACOS(
(SIN(PI()* @LatDec /180)*SIN(PI()*latitude/180)) +
(COS(PI()* @LatDec /180)*cos(PI()*latitude/180)*COS(PI() * longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180))
)
where 3963.191 is earths radius in miles,
radius is 1.5,
@LatDec is the current latitude and
@LonDec is the current longitude
Uses a lot of Trig and (for me) is quite complicated. This works very well and is very accurate. It also only uses a single table. I want to be able to now look for the current position within a boundary of 3 or more positions from Table 1 and this is where I am struggling?
Also, any suggestions on how I could do this better would be very much appreciated?
I look forward to your reply and help.
Thank you in advanced.
Hi,
I'm posting this in the Setup forum as I think the problem relates to my SQL Server Configuration. Being new to server management pls ask for more info if I don't explain this clearly enough, I'm running out of idea.
Here's the set up:
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP1
When I try to run apps I get the following message:
SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I've found some great notes on the TechNet forums explaining this error and how to resolve it by configuring the Surface Area Tool... remote connections etc
But, this is where I draw a blank as I cannot access the Surafce Area Configuartion for Services and Connections because certain components are not installed, or I do not have admin rights. I definitly have the admin rights, but have no idea where to start looking for aforementioned components.
During the SQL Server install I recevied the warning:
SQL Service Edition System Compatibility - Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this Op system.
It sounds pretty generic and doesn't offer anymore details, but could this be effecting it?
I've also noticed that when I open SQL Server Configuration Manager and click on SQL Server 2005 Services nothing appears in the right-hand panel??? I'm sure there should be???
I've been all over TechNet & Books online and cannot find any reference for what I'm experiencing.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Does anyone know a way to force RS to not collapse the parameter area on a drill through? I searched this forum and found some related threads but nothing that covered this.
I have several reports where they drill through to each other and in all cases, while they pass the parameters between, the users usually want to go directly to different products or time periods within the reports. They constantly have to expand the input area every time they go to another report. This confuses a lot of them.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?
Thanks, Tim
Being very new to SQL Server, I have to ask - when I try to connect to SQL Server 2005 using TCP/IP I cannot. To accomplish this I was directed to use the Surface Area Configuration utility.

Thanks,
