Hi all. I'm currently working with SQL Server 2K, and I've installed Analysis Services as well as SP4.
I previously wrote a DTS that had several FTP steps in it. I was able to view/edit/run this package until recently. We were testing out SQL Server '05, and when we uninstalled it, it really screwed up my install of SQL 2k.
Long story short, I've scrubbed the system and reinstalled SQL Server 2K, but am unable to open the DTS package. The error I get is:
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Service (DTS) Package
Error Description: Unspecified Error
Then a prompt that says:
The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS Designer has been closed
I've googled like crazy, and have been unable to find any resolution on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A trigger existed on the job steps table which captured any changes before and after. The insert table was limited changes to 4000 characters.
SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition (11.0.5058.0) on Windows Server 2008 R2
At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit a size limit of ~4000 characters on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255 String or binary data would be truncated.
Adding the job step via SSMS yields
Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Additional information: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)
I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.

i have a sql server job scheduled to run daily twice.the job is running fine , but once  or twice a week the job fails saying."Message Unable to connect to SQL Server '(local)'.  The step failed." all other times the job runs successfully. it randomly the job is failing. once its failed and if i try to run it manually it runs fine or it will start running fine from next schedule onwards.This job mainly executes a stored procedure.the owner of the job is setup as sa. i don't understand why its fail randomly and all other times(90% of cases) it successful."Unable to connect to SQL Server '(local)'.  The step failed."
i have installed Microsoft SQL server 2000(evaluated version). I opened enterprise manager.and opened one of the default database.(Northwind).I clikced on the tables in the Northwind. On the right side of the console I right-clicked on one of the table and tried to open table--> Return all rows.. I am getting a message saying that "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed". I tried to reinstall the sql server evaluated version. I installed it 3 to 4 times restarting my computer. But still its giving me the same problem. I am using Windows Xp OS. Do I need to take care of anything before installation. I even removed Office XP from my system thinking if that has anything to do with the installation. Please let me know as soon as possible. One last question, is this a very rare problem or is the problem only with me. Because I couldnt find a solution as nobody is giving me a reply.
Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express. I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro). Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command: Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)". My connection string from webconfig: <add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database="C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> .....and the connection string for the c# program: "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;"; I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
Does anyone have an idea where is the error? Many thanks Max
Hi All, When i try to open tables under any database i get an error message that says " An unexpected error happened during this operation. [Query] Query designer encountered a Query error: Unspecified error". I uninstalled the Client from my desktop and reinstalled the client.When i try the same operation on the server where the SQL server is installed, i get the same error message. I have sp2 installed.Would it help if i install sp3?
In my machine i am unable to open .sql files. I am trying to open . Sql files it gives error message Windows can't find program.exe. This program is needed for openings files of type"SQL script file"
Any body tell me which file i have to install. Thanks
I am getting this error when i clicked on configuration manager. "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permissions or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL server 2005 and later servers with configuration manager only."
Scenario : I have VC++ 2005 Express IDE open and use the database explorer to browse tables in a database. Then I open SQL Server Managament Studio Express and try to browse the same database. I get "Unable to open the physical file ... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
What is this "other process" that is trying to open the file? I thought the whole point of a database server was that clients talk to the server, and the server accesses the physical file. So only one process should be accessing the file. Do VC++ IDE and SSMSE work directly with the physical file, or do they channel their requests, etc. through the server.
I installed the dts designer component for 2005 so I could migrate over some 2000 packages and was able to successfully open and run dts packages under 2005.
Then all of a sudden I get this error msg and can't open them, migrate them, export them, etc:
"here were errors loading the package "MyPackageName": [DNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Invalid Instance()).] Invalid connection. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExporerUI)"
That is not a typo, it actually says "here were errors..." instead of "There were errors..."
I've tried the obvious, repair the dts designer component and rebooting, no luck.
I have a VS2008 project with a CE3.5 database. I am unable to open this database within SQL 2005 Management Studio only VS2008. Any way of updating the CE engine for Management Studio?
"You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database (this is lying I know the db is 3.5+)"
Hi, I've just finished creating my first ASP.NET website. I created it on my laptop and it works perfectly, but I'm having some problems deploying it to my web server (PC).The site works ok, but when I try to log in to my client area, I get this error: "Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share." I've searched far and wide for a solution and have read many articles, but none seem to be able to fix my problem. I've tried using that SEUtil tool, but that didn't work, I've made sure the App_Data directory on the web server isn't read only (the read-only checkbox isn't ticked, but it DOES have that little green square which I can't get rid of), I've assigned the ASPNET user as a db owner and that didn't work and I've manually attached the database to the web server's instance of SQL Express 2005.When I launch the solution in VS2005 on the web server, I can browse through the database and see the tables and data etc, but when I try to run the application, I get that message above... Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get it going?Any help would be massively appreciated.
Hello, I have a SQL Express database in a C# project, which I use for unit tests. However, I am getting the "unable to open SQL Express database", access is denied. I used to be able to do use it fine. I also used to attach it to the SQL Server engine, but now I'm getting access denied there as well. I ensured that it isn't currently attached... at least, I cannot see it, but maybe its still attached somehow? I don't know what the problem is... running out of ideas. Thanks.
After having installed my software at customer's I found out that it's impossible to open tables from Enteprise Manager (Query Designer error). I'm not sure it's because of my soft, but my clients are quite annoyed. I have had this situation on my own server , and the only thing I could do was to reinstall the server. Any other ideas? And what is the origin for this error?
I am having trouble with BCP. I get the same error with xp_cmdshell as I do with entering bcp as a DOS command. I have checked and rechecked the file names and permissions and even restart the PC.
Does BCP even work when SQL Server 2005 Express on a PC?

Could the fact that it's actually pulling BCP from c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsinn be a problem? I know this because it doesn't recognize the -x extensionof the bcp command.
I added the c: est to the path and removed c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsinn from the path. While it recognizes the -x extension now it still gets the same error message:
SQLState = HY000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Unable to open BCP host data-file NULL
I get the follwowing error message when i click on sync on my PDA.

I am trying to use RDA to synchronize my server database (SQL Server Express) and client database (SQL Compact Edition) on my PDA. I am also using the sqlcesa30.dll for my internet URL.
When I open integration services on my SQL server, I can expand the File System folder fine, but when I try to expand the MSDB folder under stored package, I'm getting the following error: My SQL Server is setup to allow remote connections. What else could be causing this error on the server?

I have checked file names, and I have checked permissions on the files. I do not see any reason why the BCP should fail. Any ideas how I can debug this further?
I can't use the words "stored pro.." in file names, folder names, or internet searches. I also can't click on links with those words in them. (hence my above abbreviations) The application will close down. I'm putting hyphens between the letters in the hopes that if anyone answers this I will still be able to open it.
i.e., I have a folder on my harddrive called "stored pro---cedures" - I can't open it via any windows applications. I named a word document "stored pro----cedure" and it closed the second I typed it in. I can use "stored pro", but not the other, even if i put or remove spaces between the letters. Even if I type other letters at the beginning and the end, the application will close.
I tried to do a Google search on "windows update" and "stored pro..." but the explorer window closed.
I am receiving the following error when attempting to create a new package in SSIS 2005. I have completeley re-installed, and even had our support folks re-image my pc, but no luck. Works fine on my laptop, and others are not having any issues.
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bryan
Well, I'm to the point of giving up. If there was a 1-800 # that charged $400 /minute for support at this point I would pay it! I have been developing an ASP.net 2.0 web application that basically has login security. I have been struggling to get this thing to work. On my local machine it works fine, but when I copy the code (including the ASPNETDB.mdf that is in the APP_Data directory) over to a web server, I get to the login screen but when I attempt to login I get an error. I've tried using the SSEUTIL.exe and was unsuccessful. At this point I don't even know where to start. Can someone please help me??? The error is listed below: Server Error in '/' Application.
