In my present environment I have two SQL 6.5 servers, one defined as Pub/Distrib the other as a Sub. I am performing transactional replication at 5 minute intervals. I have recently setup a new SQL 2000 Server and want to establish it as a subscriber to the 6.5 server (it will eventually get upgraded but I am not in control of this). We I try to add the new server to the present Distribution server I get an invalid server name message.
The server name is "NA-ALL-PR-DS01". It seems to be working fine from an NT and network / SQL server level. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Server A is Publisher/Distributor SQL7 Server B is Subscriber SQL7
Successfully set up a publication for table on Server A
Synchronisation fails with error that 'The network name cannot be found' and the following file could not be created: The last action is 'Server AC$MSSQLRepldataunc<pub name><date string>ablename.sch'
... which is odd because the file IS created and contains a correct looking table definition.
So, manually sync data on this one table and try again, now it can't connect with my server, which is weird cos I can connect through EM.
I'm trying to run a simple update script on this database which iscreated from a replication agent. Several individual databases arereplicated into one consolidated. I've not worked with replicationbefore and I was hoping someone could tell me what this error means.UPDATECUSTOMERSET[TIMESTAMP]='20060920090453'[IVBTYPE]='M 'WHERE[ROWID]='9f83bc89-76f8-4140-a0cc-58fa34962638'yields:Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedureupd_0119B5A9AA624A55AF1B73F2E32A7A0C, Line 14Invalid object name 'dbo.sysmergearticles'.Do I have to do something to the database before trying to update it?
In the past few days I try to work with SQL Mobil and Replication.
And now I have a big problem.
When the replication ist running in my little application the pda-user wants not stop there working. So I try to implement some routines of code that I find in this onlinearticle: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2ysxae29.aspx
The codes workes fine as long I don't start another SQL Task. When I start either (Select, Insert, Update or Delete) Statement the Database crash with errormessage: "The database file may be corrupted. Run the repair utility...
Can anyone give me a tip what I must do to fix this problem.
I am trying to install sql 2000 evaluation version from the microsoft website and am having a "fun" time!

Am I missing something, or has anyone ran into something similar before. Thanks for any help!
Trouble with Workflow Hello. I have a DTS package that executes some tasks of the type "Execute Package Task". Every Task has a Condition of been executed just in case of success. I understand that only if the precedent task ends successfully the next one would be processed. My problem is that the DTS continues even if one of the previous steps fails. Would you have any idea?____________________________________________________________________ My escenario is something like this: EP: Execute Package Task ES: Execute Sql Task

I'm developing an intranet site in ASP.NET 2.0 but I can't seem to connect to the DB from within my code. I've created a .vb class that houses a private Connection() that other functions within the class can call to connect to the database. In the calling function, I've declared my connection object and called the "Open" method on the object. However, when I attempt to execute the stored procedure command by calling the "ExecuteScalar" method, I get the following error: "ExecuteScalar requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is closed."

Hi. I am taking a certification class for which I recieved MSDE 2000 SQL server to use. I had a version that came with my textbook installed, and uninstalled it to use this one. Now I can no longer install either version, when I try it gives me a "instance name specified is not valid" error message when I start the installation, then kills it. Anyone have any ideas?
When trying to install SP4, I do not receive any notification of the install i.e. click on setup and then nothing. Checked *.out log and receive the following:

We have (after several weeks of testing in all kind of environments) send out a new version of our application to several of our customers. Within days problems where drippin in; After looking for the problem on various customer situations we found a problem which I think is rather disturbing and very odd. I'll describe the situation, on which we finally managed to recreate the problem, here.
In my problem I use the following configuration:
Windows 2003 (standard edition) AD network with 2 domain controllers, multiple Windows XP workstations, some without SQL instances, some with SQL 2000 instances, some with SQL 2005 instances and even one with SQL 7 running. All run a 32 bit OS.
Tools to reproduce:
ListSQLSvr application (found on SQLDev.net) to enumerate the instances.
Problem description: -------------------------------------------------- I am running the machine called DEV001, which has SQL 2000 (instancename DRUMIS) and SQL 7.0 (has no instancename so this is the root instance) installed.
In any 'normal' situation all the runnings SQL instances are visible on the network like this:
Notice that the browser service might be off on DEV002, you can still see the EXPRESS instance and a new root instance has appeared (though it doesn't exist!)??
After restarting the Browser service all is OK again.
When I turn on Hide Server in the SQL 2000 TCP/IP properties (or turn it on in the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerDRUMISMSSQLServerSuperSocketNetLibTcp] "TcpHideFlag"=dword:00000001) on the DEV002 computer something real scary is happening.. The list looks as follows:
When someone has entered a database (for example the backoffice database on INSADBACKOFFICEEXACT) the list looks as follows (for a short moment; 5 secs or so):
Notice now that ALL instances are gone and no extended information is available. In the Query Analyser and in the SQL Management Studio when browsing you'll see this as well! When someone is accessing a database instance it appears for a few seconds again.
Since our installation and applications rely on selecting a existing instance it will fail in the above situations (or at least not showing all available instances).
In my opinion this is a bug somewhere! Note that even when the SQL Services are stopped on DEV002 (leaving the Browser service running) it still seems to block out ALL instance on the ENTIRE network!
I don't mind that one INSTANCE or even the entire MACHINE is hidden from the network, but ALL instances on ALL machines??
And the SQL Browser issue also worries me a bit since it does not stop the possibily to browse the SQL instances; it removes the SQL2000 instances but adds a root instance which doesn't even exist! Also the extended info is stripped.
Can anyone help me solve this/advise?
Also mind that in any situation there might run a lot of computers with a lot of SQL instances and I cannot tell our customers to find which machine has the SQL TCP/IP properties set to Hide... It even seems that in some situations SBS 2003 does the hiding automatically on Install? And if so, when and why?

Hi, i am trying to get to my hosting companies database server. Its SQL Sever 2000, but i want to connect through SQL Server Management Studio 2005. The connection is unable to be established, although i have tried all sorts of settings for the connection. I called the hosting company and they told me to connect using the IP address of the name server for my domain. It failed and i called again to check back, and one of the guy told me that u cannot connect to an instance of sql servr 2000 from sql server 2005. Is this true? Please help.
When witness and mirror were down, mirroring was removed at primary. Now when I try to re-establish mirroring I get the following error
Msg 1456, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The ALTER DATABASE command could not be sent to the remote server instance 'TCP://witness:5022'. The database mirroring configuration was not changed. Verify that the server is connected, and try again.
On the witness server the following sql
select * from sys.database_mirroring_witnesses
returns 1 row with the previous mirroring information.
How do I remove old information from witness server? Thanks.
I want to write a sql query (for SQL7 & 2K) that gives the size and space used of the log file for a given database. I can do it for data files using sysfiles/sysindexes, but can see how I can do it for the logfile.
I know I can use DMO or dbcc sqlperf(logspace), but I want to understand how and where the information is kept in system tables.
I have a simle question for you: I created a employee table:
create table employees ( employeeid int primary key, lastname nvarchar(20) not null, firstname nvarchar(20) not null, birthdate datetime, city nvarchar(15), country nvarchar(15) )
and then I created table orders and established a relationship between them:
create table orders ( orderid int primary key, employeeid int references employees(employeeid), orderdate datetime )
The relationship was created successfully.
But I don't know how to establish a relationship between two tables if they were already exist. Could you tell me how to do it? many thanks :p
I have a problem connecting to my SQL SERVER 2005 express. I followed carefully the instructions to open a database connection but I still get the same error down below
Error message received: 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 changed the permission of the database by granting all access to myself but it didn't, I have also changed all the Pipes to enable but nothing. Here is the code
Software: Visual Basic.net Express 2008
Dim Strconnection As String Dim con As SqlConnection Dim ds As New DataSet
I recently migrated SQL Server 2005 which we use for our internet site and other internal applications, to it's own server. SQL used to be on the development PC. However now I am having security issues.
I keep getting an error message when I try to connect to the server from the development PC that the SQL server is not set up or does not allow remote connections. I have made sure that ASPNET is a user. I have also run aspnet_regsql to set up the internet users database.
What other security features do I need to check? I am more of a VB developer than a SQL admin so any help is appreciated.
FYI - This is a small network that does not run any form of Windows Server. I am using IIS 5.1. TCP/IP and Named Pipes is enabled.
I am trying to connect via the Management Studio Express. I share a LAN with the server. In Netowrk connections I can see the server and I can even access the "Shared" folders. However,when I try to connect I get an error that says the error may be caused by the server not allowing remote connections. I have already done the following:
With the Surface Area Configuration facility I have set the server to allow remote connections I have selected TCP/IP as the preferred mode of connection. I have selected Windows authentification as mode of authorisation
I am training to be a DBA in a company running about 30 machines with MS SQL Server (2000 and 2005). Last week I went to a class where the instructor recommended establishing a performance baseline using windows performance monitor. He also advised to run perfmon remotely so as to not effect the performance.
What I am wondering is since I have so many different machines to baseline, can I run perfmon on one box, using a seperate counter log for each server? I would like to get a nice week-long baseline for each machine, but I also don't want to get bad data by running too many logs at the same time.
My plan is to do a small set of counters for processor, memory, disk, and the SQL server instance(about 10 counters total).
If anyone has experience in this area, I would appreciate any advice that you might have.
i cannot access my database as i am keep getting the following error: "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:shared memory provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL server)" when i click on the properties window i cannot see my table nor can i make a new connection as the same error is shown, could you please advice me how i can fix this?
I have installed Oracle 8i and sql7.0 on win2k server. That is both the RDBMS are in the same server. Now I have added the Oracle server in the sql server through the system stored procedure 'sp_addlinkedserver'. The command I executed was,
The oracle server is added. This I am able see through the results of 'sp_linkedservers'. Till then I don't have any problem.
Next I tried 'sp_addlinkedsrvlogin' to make an entry by the following command, exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'genomedb', 'false', 'genomeadministrator', 'sri', 'sri'
Here 'sri' is login name and password for oracle and 'genomeadministrator', where genome is the domain name of win2k and administrator is the login name.
When I executed the above command, it says, (0 row(s) affected) (0 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected)
After that when I tried to execute a table from oracle through the following command, SELECT * FROM genomedb.genomedb.sri.table1
It displays the following error,
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 " Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA'. [OLE/DB provider returned message: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied] "
Can anyone help me to sort out this problem please.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this I use Microsoft Windows Vista Home Professional I have already installed to my computer Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and SQL Serves Express. I used to successful to connect to the SQL Server but now I CAN NOT.
Not: I try to run SQL Server 2005 but I can not, even I logged on to my computer with an administrator rights. On the other hand I can start and stop the SQL Server easily.
As a result, how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Bilgin Kiliç

Hi, I'm developing an ASP website with components developed under C# (DLL). The component is working ok when I temporarily used winforms to test it prior to compiling to DLL. but when I used that component to a ASP script, I got the error:
"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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
It is weird because I'm not using SQLServer 2005. I'm using MSSQL 2000 only. If the winform version is working ok, how come the asp version is not? all the proper registration of component was followed correctly (even though it sucks. i used to developed a component in VB6 before and I never encountered so many authentication crap unlike in .Net2.0)
Hi, I have no idea of SQL2000.Can anyonetell me steps /precuations involved in going for Replication in SQL2K. Also,How do we do log shipping in SQL2K? TIA pd
I am trying to set up transactional replication (not immediate updating) via a push subscription between a SQL 7.0 Server and a SQL 2000 Server. The SQL 7 server is the Publisher / Distributor, and the SQL 2000 server is the subscriber. Replication will not work between the two, I have removed then setup replication to no avail. The SQL 7 server always reports that it can't connect to the SQL 2000 server. Same problems the other way if I try a pull subscription.
I'm trying to replicate a sql 7.0 table to a sql 2000 server. Does anyone know how I can register a sql 2000 box through Ent. Manager onto 7.0? I've been told that I need to upgrade my production server's Ent. Manager to 2000 but I not sure if that is a real safe bet. Can anyone give me any insight to this?
I am trying replication on sql 2000 I want to do replication using two databases. suppose say Db1 and Db2 if new record is added in db1.table1 then the same record should get added to Db2.table1 and vice versa.
using enterprise manager I have successfully created replication from Db1 to Db2.
how to do it from Db2 to Db1? any suggestion would be helpful. thanks
How do I know whether the record in a row was insert,update and delete that replicated to a subscriber? Is there a flag or an indicator in msmerge_contents,msmerge_tombstone ,msmerge_genhistory tables or any other msdb/replication system tables?
I would like some simple input on achieving true two-way replication with SQL 2000. We have need to load balance our website between two sites and since it is SQL based, would need to have dual DB servers at each site with two-way replicated data. They would need to be replicated at real-time. Will the built in SQL replication tools work OK? Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance.
Here is what we are trying to solve:-We have a SQL 6.5 server (version 6.50.258) we will call SQL65-A, onan NT 4.0 machine (version 4.00.1381), on Domain-A-We are trying to replicate directly to a SQL 2000 server (version8.00.818) we will call SQL2000-A, on a Windows 2000 machine (version5.00.2195), on Domain-B-We also have a SQL 6.5 server we will call SQL65-B in Domain-B-The domains are trusted-We get the error that it cannot connect to the SQL 2000 server whentrying to replicate, even though I can register the SQL 2000 server asa Remote ServerThe work-around we have right now is replicating from SQL65-A toSQL65-B, then using SQL65-B as a subscriber as well as adistributor/publisher to SQL2000-A.
