Upgrade Wizard @@servername = Null
Nov 22, 1999
Attempting Upgrade Wizard on PDC, SERVER1 NT4.0 sp5 SQLS6.5 sp5a
Master.db Syservers has 2 entries
1 SERVER1 SERVER1 ###s ###s - the PDC
2 SERVER2 SERVER2 null null - the SDC
when use sp_addserver, local get duplicate warning
when use sp_addserver, local, duplicates_ok completes (but no changes)
Is problem index associated with SERVER1 should be 0 not 1 ?
If so, would simply UPDATEing index from 1 to 0 fix problem ?
Thanks in advance

Hello sir,
I have a probleme with a replication.
I have two servers (serv1 and serv2); when i want to install a replication from serv1 to serv2, i receive this message:
1->2:Replication cannot be installed as @@SERVERNAME is NULL.
from serv2 to serv1; I receive this message:
2->1:If Replication is uninstalled, all publications will be
eliminated and the distribution database[if it exist]will be
dropped. After the process has completed, this session will be
disconnected from the SQL Server. Do you want to unistall
replication?
Please advice me..

On one of my SQL Servers I have noticed the @@servername to be NULL.
Any Idea how to give it back the original value. Simple
>> SELECT @@servername = `MY_SERVER_NAME` will not work since I can not update the global variable
This prevents from instaling publishing on that server, among other concerns for the overall stability of the server.
Help appreciated,
Bojan

I have a SQL 2005 clustered server which is returning a Null value for @@servername. I find the server entry in sysservers. I have replication configured on this so i am not able to do a Sp_dropserver & sp_addserver as this acts as a publisher. The configured merge repication stopped working because of this issue and I am not able to delete replication as the the delete option uses @@servername which returns a null value. So I am struck in a loop.
Any advice is appreciated.
thanks

@@servername sometimes returns NULL depending on how you have been messing around with replication and various other settings.
The simple solution offered to fix this is to delete the entries in the system tables and sp_addserver 'servername','local' and then restart the SQL service.
This is fine but what do you do in the situation where the SQL server is a 24/7 production box ? Does anyone know of a method / hack to fix this without stopping the service ?
Thanks

On one of our test server I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 6.5 sp4 to SQL Server 7. The test server has a copy of all the live database systems and user accounts. I am using the Upgrade Wizard.
The process of upgrade stops after the following message
“Verify that code page ‘0’ is installed on your Windows NT Server”
I have no idea as to how I can over this problem. What I do know is that a code page can refer to character set. And that on the server I am upgrading the code page is 850 Multilingual.
Any help please.

I'm currently upgrading a server here, both the hardware (new box) and the software (SQL 6.5 to 7). I need to know if I do a two-computer upgrade in the SQL Upgrade wizard from the old server (which is still in production) to copy data to the new one if it will have any effects on the 6.5 server.
Thanks for the help...

Scenario
Export Server--SQL 6.5
Import Server--SQL 7
When running the Upgrade Wizard we encounter the following error message.
"Unable to connect to Export server. Please verify you are an NT Administrator on that machine".
Both Machines use NT Admin account to logon.
Both Machines use SQL EXEC as the service account.(for sqlexec&sqlserver)
Please can you help us on this particular problem.
Thank you.

I'm trying to run a two-computer upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0. In the Upgrade Wizard I receive the message "The Wizard was unable to connect to the ADMIN$ share on your remote 6.x SQL Server. Please verify that this share exists and that you have sufficient permissions to access it." The share does exist and the login should have sufficient permissions. To which login is this message referring? Is it the NT domain login on the import machine or is it one of the services on the export machine?

Quick question regarding the SQL 7.0 Upgrade Wizard:
I am attempting to import a set of databases currently hosted on a SQL 6.5 box into a separate SQL 7.0 server using the Upgrade Wizard. I am going through some of the Books Online articles on the general process and one of the steps that is mentioned is that the upgrade process changes ODBC and SQL-DMO components on the original SQL 6.5 box prior to performing the database upgrade. Am I understanding this correctly or does this component upgrade only apply when performing a 6.5-7.0 upgrade on the same server?
The idea is that I do *not* want to touch / affect the SQL 6.5 server at all - just get the database / login info off and into the new SQL 7.0 server.
Any comments appreciated,
RM

I am having the following error when running the SQL upgrade wizard trying to upgrade SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000. Does anyone here know what is the problem ?
Version Switch has aborted because you do not have "Full Control" permission to one of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServ* registry keys. Please use regedit32.exe to correct this problem and try again.
I have already checked the registry and I do have full control permission on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServ*. Please help.

I ran the upgrade advisor on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package and received the following:
Upgrade Function: Replace functionality of complex Data Transformation task encapsulated in Execute DTS 2000 Package task after package migration
Message: The SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) Package Migration Wizard does not migrate complex Data Transformation tasks in SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages. The migrated package will contain encapsulated DTS functionality that must eventually be removed or redesigned.
When I run the Migration Wizard, it runs successfully, with no encapsulated DTS fuctionality that I can see. As far as I can tell from comparing the two, it looks like it migrated successfully without any help from me! I'm not familiar with the business logic of the DTS package, so am worried that I'm missing something.
Is it possible for the Upgrade advisor to be wrong?
Are there any advanced or random screens that I can check for something that might not have migrated correctly?
Thanks for any insight that you can provide!

Hello All:
I'm new to this forum and new to the upgrade process for SQL2K5. I would like to get this upgrade moving. However, I running into a few problems. Right now I am attempting to use the Copy Database Wizard. SQL2K5 and SQL2K are installed on different servers.
I made a copy of the tables for the database I am converting and this is the one I am trying to copy over.
The process runs fine until it gets to the SQL Server Agent Job. It fails on this step and prompts to check the event log.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Right now I'm looking for the easiest solution to test the data. Is the copy database wizard the best approach? Can anyone recommend another one? Maybe backup/restore.
I used export from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and that worked, but it brought over the dbo prefixes.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Or at least a shove in the right direction.
Thanks,
Cleech

I am trying to upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2005 Standard. I get to the service authentication window and hit my first problem. On that window, there is a dropdown box where you should be able to choose the default instance service AND the SQL Server Agent service and set the authentication information for both of those services. That's the way it is in my test environment. However, on my production server, when I click that dropdown box, only the instance appears, and not the agent. Why?
I tried the upgrade this past weekend and ran into this problem. After researching it and not finding anything out about it online, I decided to just go forward anyway since I had lots of backups and copies of everything. The upgrade appeared to go ok, but the agent service wouldn't start. It gave the usual message when you try to start a service that doesn't have anything to do, like the Performance Logs and Alerts service. When I looked at the agent in SQL Server Management Studio, it had (Agent XPs Disabled) next to it. So I researched this and found how to enable it. For some people online, this allowed them to start the agent service, but of course that didn't work for me. Finally in my research online I found that some individuals had a lot of missing system tables in their MSDB and Master databases after the upgrade due to some of the SQL scripts that are part of the upgrade process not running properly. So I compared my system tables and SP's against another SQL 2005 instance I have, and sure enough, there appears to be a lot of missing tables. It was at that point I decided to just restore everything and try again later.
My point in writing that second paragraph is to ask if that was all due to the fact that the SQL Server Agent wasn't listed in the upgrade wizard like it should have been? Or maybe the fact that it wasn't in that dropdown box was evidence of a deeper problem? Is it likely that if I do whatever it is I need to do to make the agent appear in the upgrade wizard that my missing system tables and agent service not starting problems would probably not be an issue anymore? And why would the agent not be appearing in the upgrade wizard?
Thanks for your help!

I am trying to import some csv files into a table. Some of the values are left blank and are supposed to be interpret as null. However, when I try to use the import wizard (via SQL Server Management Studio), the import process errors out. The fields on the table allows null values.
How do I specify the import wizard to interpret blank fields in flat files to be null? It was mentioned somewhere that there might be a checkbox indicating that I can preserve the null values, but I can't find the option anywhere.

I am attempting to create a new report model. When I try to update statistics from the data source view I get the following error - Data is Null. This method or property cannot be called on Null values. I tried changing the generation rules so that attributes are only created for non-empty columns but that didn't help. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
I have explicitly used
Exec SP_dropserver and
Exec SP_Addsserver SP's to drop and add a SQL server.
After that i restarted the sql server service. After that, when i used the query
select @@servername, it is returning NULL.
But, when I used Select Serverproprty('servername'), it is returning me the correct servername.
Can i know as why this behavior is exhibited for the same property of finding servername?
Thanks!

I inherited a system that was started in Access and moved to SQL 2000. The business has grown and we are trying to replace our older systems with ASP.NET and Server 2005. Currently, we are trying to make a new asp.net page for searching the database for records with matching dates or date ranges. There are several types of dates to search, so they are all optional. Set to default as null in the proc. For each date there is an operator field, such as equal or greater, etc. The proc only looks at the date if the operator is set to EQ" or "IN" and ignores the date if operator set to "NO"
The proc works fine when running under Management Studio, but fails coming through a SQLDataSource to a gridview. It works with integer and string filters, but fails when entering the same date ('07/20/2007') that works in the testing tool. All dates are actually stored as datetime, and they are set as DateTime Control Parameters in the SQLDataSource.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:someConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="spTESTSearch" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="M" Name="TypeCode" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="EQ" Name="FirstPubOp" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FirstPubDateTextBox" DefaultValue="" Name="FirstPubDate"
PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="C" Name="UserName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="NO" Name="SearchTextOp" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="SearchText" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
The dates are selected properly in the testing tool, with code such as :
DateDiff(day, FirstPubDate, @FirstPubDate) = 0
I think my problem is based on option settings for the databases themselves. The old database was set to Ansii Nulls and Quoted Identiers to OFF, and the new ones were defaulted to them being ON. I noticed that the tool also, sets those options on when creating new stored procedures.
Would this difference be causing the dates to be quoted and viewed as objects rather than strings? What are the dangers in changing those options on the database that still gets uploads from the old SQL 2000 database and some Mac-based systems?
I welcome any suggestions on how to get my new stuff running while not breaking my old production systems.
Thanks for the assist!

Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
AND DR.languageid = isnull(@inlanguageid,null)
AND DR.[ID]= @ID
)
go
set ansi_nulls on

I recall a method to get the old servername of a SQL server but old age has gotten to me.
I suspect a particular server has been renamed at one point. Obviously it wasn't me and the person before me is not around for me to ask.
So, can someone help an old guy out?
The results of print @@servername is NULL.

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!

Hey folks,
Today's been way too much fun...
Someone changed the name of a machine in our department and now Win2k thinks the machine's name is (for example) "Fred", but if I do a select @@servername, SQL returns (again, for example) "Barney".
The machine's name started out as "Barney".
The last time this happened, it was on an NT4 box, and we just reinstalled sql and away we went.
This time, they reinstalled sql and released the box to the team, only to find out later that reinstalling sql didn't do squat this time.
Which brings me to the question: How do I convince SQL that it's really, truly supposed to be named "Fred"?
Besides that, what do I tell Wilma, Betty, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
: )
Thanks,
Tom
