Are there any issues with connecting to a SQL Server 2003 database with SS 05? TIA!
David L. Crooks
I am new to SQL server 2005
Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.
hello all,
i have SQL Server 2005 installed on a network computer and want to access it through code in asp.net. I am using visual studio 2003.
I have porvided this connection string to connect to that Sql Server 2005 Express instance but failed:
data source=mynetworkstystemSQLEXPRESS;database=MobMatiLogs;User Id=sa;password=mobmasti786
But I get the error:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Anyone please help me!
Thanks in advance
Hello,
after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:
With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.
You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.
Versions:
SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1
Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1
all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran

I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).
I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.
TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.
I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?
Thanks, John

I know that my problem is in the @DataSource part of the connection string. It works if I use the first two lines (the database file is in the same folder as the code). But not when I use it as above. I think I'm pointing to the wrong place, but I can't figure out the right place to point to. I have SQLServer running on my laptop (I think), so can anyone help me out or maybe give me some example connection strings that you have used? Thanks.

I have problem connecting to a SQL 2000 server that is hosted on a Windows 2003 server. My application uses classic ASP with VB6 components. VB6 components connect to SQL server and return data to ASP application. Everything was working fine when the application and SQL server was hosted on NT machine. Recently we have shifted to Windows 2003 server. Since then we could not establish connection to SQL2000.
I'm using UDL as connection string.
IIS and SQL2000 hosted on the same machine with Windows 2003 OS.
This seems to be a security issue. Earlier I faced this issue for a .net application which I resloved adding a domain account to both SQL server and IIS directory security.
Request your input to solve this problem.

I
am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set
the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one
virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the
physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my
cluster, I get an error every time. The
error stops the installation while checking system configuration after
installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

I am just about ready to tear my hair out on this one, at this point you guys are my last resort! Wouldn't it be nice if I could go to bed and have an answer for me in the morning....
I've had a working HTTP endpoint using Basic Authentication over SSL for months in our development environment, but now I'm moving our application to a production server and I'd like to be able to use Digest Authentication in the clear instead so the processor doesn't waste cycles on the SSL decryption. I've spent hours fiddling with my endpoint to no avail.
This is the closest message relating to what I'm doing that I've been able to find: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1131251&SiteID=1
In my case, the SQL Server is joined to a domain that is entirely Windows Server 2003 - no Windows 2000, so support for Digest Authentication is a non-issue. I'm also explicitly doing a GRANT CONNECT on my endpoint to the domain user I'm using. Here is the top of my CREATE ENDPOINT DDL:
CREATE ENDPOINT [Kudos]
STATE=STARTED
AS HTTP (PATH=N'/Kudos',
PORTS = (CLEAR),
AUTHENTICATION = (DIGEST,NTLM),
SITE=N'echobase.kudosnow.com'
DEFAULT_LOGON_DOMAIN = N'kudosnow',
AUTH_REALM = N'kudosnow'',
CLEAR_PORT = 80,
COMPRESSION=DISABLED)
FOR SOAP (
I am debugging using wfetch 1.3... I can get this to work using NTLM Authentication; sending a GET to my endpoint with the ?wsdlsimple querystring parameter returns my WSDL just fine.
But Digest just doesn't want to work! If I remove NTLM from my AUTHENTICATION directive and try using Digest with wfetch or from my (PHP) web service consumer I get an HTTP 401 no matter what I do. I've tried fiddling with the DEFAULT_LOGON_DOMAIN, AUTH_REALM, and anything else I can think of.
The errors I am sporadically finding in the SQL Server error log are:
HTTP authentication failed. [CLIENT: 192.168.245.238] from source Logon
Followed by:
Error: 26026, Severity: 14, State: 1. from source Logon
I can't find any detail about the second error.
........
Just occurred to me that I've also been trying to view my WSDL directly in IE, and this is what's causing the SQL error to be logged, not wfetch - that's why it appeared sporadically.
So, wfetch isn't causing an 'HTTP authentication failed' error, but Internet Explorer is... maybe Digest Authentication isn't implemented correctly in wfetch?
Regardless... I'm still not able to authenticate from IE or from my client, but this may shed some more light on the issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?
We have a project already developed iusing VS 2003 Enterprise architect edition using sql server 2000(have lots of table and stored procs etc.)
Now planning to switch to Sql server 2005 are there any issues associated with the switch.
I mean front end programming wise asp.net and vb.net front end codes do they work straight away or need to make any changes to all the front end codes, we are using datasets, data readers calling stored procs and also using lot of hash tables and XML object to make bulk loads to sql server via sqlxml3.0 sp3.
Please help thank you very much for the information.
Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David

Hi
We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
many thanks in advance; GaryP
Hi,
I have a question to do..
can I install sql server 2005 express edition on a windows storage server 2003 R2????
Thank-you!!
MTV
Stupid question but please be gentle and answer anyway please....
Background: We have SQL Server 2003 (32bit) running on our servers. Our .Net applications (from old release of VS) are still running on them and using the old databases. From what I understand there is no immediate plans to upgrade the servers. However the developers were just given this new upgrade (2005) SQL Server and VS (and fixing depreciated code etc in the .net apps).
Question: Can the applications and new stored procedures written via the 2005 environment be deployed successfully on the 2003 Servers? Same goes with Reporting Services?
hi everyone, can anyone help me how to install sql 2005 server express edition on windows server 2003 x64 edition.
because its my first time installing on a 64 bit OS i dont know how. When i tried installing it gives a warning on ASP.Net
, when i ignore that & continue the installation. when installing now the SQLServer Management Studio Express now it says "installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this qperating system....."
any idea?
Re: Best Practices (security): Should SQL Server (2005) *not* be installed on the same physical HD as the Windows OS (Server 2003 R2) ?
Hi,
We're setting up some new servers, and today I'm looking into best practices for the SQL Server Setup portion of it.
The servers have include 2 x 250G HD, and from what I've read, where IIS is concerned, it should not be installed on the drive that has the OS on it, for security reasons. I was wondering if the installation of SQL Server should be on the non-OS drive as well ?
Thanx,

I was a Oracle Developer / DBA on Unix Environments all along my career, Very recently iam starting to manage a SQL Server 2005/Windows 2003 Server setup.
Part of my new job is to automate to load Huge Data files/Flat Files (3/4 GB in size) into SQL Server 2005 DB.
Have these initial questions..
Since the files are too large to open at once... What sort of Command Line Interfaces people use on the Windows Boxes.. like doing a "wc" (Word Count) / GREP 'ng Files / Massaging Data Files one line at a time (Like using SED / AWK Commands).. Etc
Any Input / Direction is appreciated...
Hello,
I have installed SQL server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows 2003 virtual PC (full installation). The installation went through successfully. However, after install completed, I cannot find any of the client tools under the start menu -> all programs -> Microsoft SQL server 2005 menu. The only item listed under the SQL server 2005 is Configuration Tools, which is used to configure the database server.
I have tried to install the client component again (in case I didn't install them at the first place) but the installation process cannot be started since it detected that the client components have been installed already. I can also see the sql server native client running in the services.
The server engine is working fine since I can connect to that sql server using another machine where I have the client tool (SQL server management studio).
One of my friends has exactly the same problem. He installed the sql server 2005 Standard edition on windows 2003 server (full installation), but the client tools are not showing up in the start menu either.
I also checked the location for the SQL server management studio (Microsoft SQL server/90/Tools/Binn/VSShell/Common7/IDE), there is only one folder called publicAssemblies listed under. Is this correct or something is missing?
Thanks
Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
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.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

If SQL Server Setup fails, Setup will roll back the installation but may not remove all .manifest files. The workaround is to rename the files and then rerun Setup. For more information, see How to: Work Around COM+ Check Failure in SQL Server Setup.
Hello Experts,
I have been unable to install SQL Express 2005 Server on my Windows 2003 Server (with SP2 installed). I keep getting an error message saying that Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 is not installed.

So, I downloaded Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe) but whenever I try to install it I get an error message saying that "the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying" and that there is no need to install the update and it stops there.

Is there a workaround to this? How can I get Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 installed? I tried going to the Windows Update site, I already have everything installed and I even started the Windows Installer service manually. Has anyone else experienced this?
How can I get SQL Server 2005 Express installed if not how can I install SQL Server 2000 on tihs machine? The only reason I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 is because wanted to try it so I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 now I can no longer install SQL Server 2000 again because it won't let me because of the SP2 patch.
Help! :(
Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.
Hi There
Can anyone confirm whether SQL Server 2005 Express edition SP2 is compatible with Windows Server 2003 SP 2? The SQL Server 2005 Express readme only mentions 2003 SP1.
Thanks

I note that after installing sql server 2005 express onto a Windows 2003 server from a Windows XP pro computer I lose the ability to backup, specifically, the microsoft sql studio express lost or is missing the function (management -> Management plans) which allows for backups to be run at specified times.
How can I proceed to backup my SQL server 2005 express database ?
Thanks,

Can anybody give me a hand? thanks...
I'm sorry to bother you.
Now I'm trying to run PHP web application on x64 2003 Server with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The version of PHP is 5.2.3. and the web application should be run as 64bit applications. Since there seems no way to use php_mssql.dll on the environment, I'm trying to use SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP but when PHP loads php_sqlsrv.dll, an error has occurd and there's a following message in an error log...
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:phpextphp_sqlsrv.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application
From this message, I thought the distributed libraries for Windows would be for a Win32 environment but there seemed no information that says the libraries run on Win32 environment only.
I really appriciate if you help me.
Thank you.
