We have set up a couple of SQL Server 2005 systems and I have found
that the format of the ERRORLOG files and the SQL Agent's log files
are Unicode or some format that findstr cannot parse properly. "find"
parses them fine, but it doesn't have the capabilities that I need --
specifically, I can't search for multiple strings in one search.
I see the checkbox on the SQL Agent's for "Write OEM File", but it is
grayed out so I am not able to try checking that. I also don't know
if that would affect the server's ERRORLOG file too or just the
Agent's log file.
So what am I missing? What is everyone else doing who is used to
having scripts to parse these files looking for strings that indicate
problems? Is there a server setting that will force it to go back to
a plain ANSI text file format for log files? Is that a bad thing to
do?
I don't know what I am doing wrong. In my environment, we have monitoring tool that scan through sql errorlog every 10minutes to capture some error that occurs. I have been trying for days now to create an alert for any of our failed backup to appear in the sql errorlog with the code below. After I add message to the sysmessage table with sp_addmessage, and raising the error with log option, I modified the existing scheduled backup job by creating an alert with the num in the code. For some reason, this error will not just show up in the sql errorlog when it failed. Has anyone any advise on what to do?
The code is:
sp_addmessage 50001, 25, 'Backup Failed for the '%.*ls' database.Please Contact MSSQL DBA Immediately!!!! ' GO DECLARE @DBID INT SET @DBID = DB_ID() DECLARE @DBNAME NVARCHAR(128) SET @DBNAME = DB_NAME() RAISERROR (50001, 25, 1, @DBID, @DBNAME) with log GO Thanks SA
I am trying to compare the data from 2 different servers. It is the same table. I did a select * and put the data into 2 different text files. I then used the Windows NT findstr utility to compare them to find the differences. I used the command findstr /v /i /x /g:file1 file2 > file3, where file1 is the larger table, and file2 is the smaller one. I want to find the records in file2 which are different or do not exist. I recieved no data back. I have ASCII characters in the text files. My question is does anyone know of a better way to do this, or how to make this command work?
Even though i see all the errorlog files physically stored in the log directory, I am not seeing any errorlog info on Enterprice Manager. I see all files like errorlog, errorlog1, errorlog2, etc, when i click current errorlog, it shows nothing, Please help me what could be the problem?
what does the error "login failed-User: Reason : Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection" means in the errorlog? it keeps on writing in the errorlog. what could be the caused of this? and how to correct this?
Hi....Does anyone know if there is a similar command to SQL2K's DBCC ERRORLOG. I'm currently writing a preventative maintenance script and want to force archiving of errorlogs. Any help greatly appreciated.
I am getting a recurring error in my errorlog. This is the error: "BlkHeader from strip 0 At 13531e00 ExpectedAt 13531e00 Size c00 PrevSize 200" Has anyone seen this before?
I just spent the better part of a full day trying to figure out why my MSSQLSERVER service wouldn't start. Finally, after someone suggested I check out "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server[Instance Name]LogErrorLog" I found my problem. I opened it up to find: (newbie mistake, I know now!!)
2005-12-21 19:27:46.60 server SQL Server evaluation period has expired
So I thought I would pass this onto everyone I can think of so you will not make the mistake I just did.
It would have been nice if Microsoft, like just about every other software company out there, would have been loud & obnoxious about their trial software expiring. Instead they have to put a poor newbie soul thru what I just went thru.
*sigh*
Well if I helped 1 person with this, I've done some good!
I need to move the errorlog files from the d: drive to the e: drive on my NT servers. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this without having to re-install? Thanks tcb
We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing, any one knows anywhere I should look into ? If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle. I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks Anthony
Hi I was not able to connect to SQL Server machine. On examining the Error log (which was huge 53MB), I found the following messages that filled 95% of the logfile. Is this something to do with memory allocation.
Someone, please let me know what is going on. After the server reboot everything works fine. I am worrired that this message may occur again.
Thanks Machilu

I used SQl Server replication to create a new database (as I did using Visual Studio 2003) but when I go the Pocket PC and click on the file I get a native error 25011 with a description
The file is not a valid database file An Internal error has occurred[,,,Databasename,,] Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize
When I check on my Pocket PC what programs are available I've got Query Analyser 3.0 and SQLCE Query. It appears that the .sdf file is associated with SQLCE Query because when I use that to try and connect to the same database I get the same error.
If I use Query Analyser 3.0 (after having copied the .sdf file) to the temp directory I'm able to open the database.
There is a similar post to this one but it doesn't help me.
Is it that SQLCE Query is wrongly associated with the .sdf file?
If so how do I change that?
Or is there some other problem preventing me clicking on the .sdf db to open it?

I've got a table adapter that connects using an oracle data connector. In the adapter, I'm using native oracle SQL such as:
select TO_DATE(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(weird_oracle_field),0,12),'YYYYMMDDHH24MI') as dt_added from oracle_data_table
There's also a CASE statement in there with some other data transformations.
Anyway, I want to take the results of that Oracle query and put the dataset into a SQL Server Compact Edition database - within an application that I'm creating in Visual Studio 2005.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to do anything like that in 'bulk' and there aren't any data migration tools that work with anything other than "full" SQL Server versions. My client doesn't support SQL Server, but I can deploy my app with SQL CE. I need a 'local' copy of the database (for several reasons) and just can't seem to figure out how to make this work.
I'm really going nuts. I feel like I'm soooo close when I see the data I want in the table adapter - but I can't seem to actually *move* the data over!!
Hi Guys, I have been trying to search for a free asp or asp.net script that will allow me to upload a .csv file and import it into an MS SQL Database. As its going to be a ProductCatalog and pricing changes nearly 2nd day. And wanting to an a script that I can put in my admin panel on my site to upload a .csv file and import it to a MS SQL Database. I will be updating fields as well as adding new products. So the upload script would need to be able to handle those two things. Is their any good free scripts around that people can recommend. Thanks Matthew

Hello There, I would really appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express for one of my web application. I have a .bak file (backup file) provided by my client which I want to use for testing purpose. Now I just want to know how can I use that backup file without installing SQL SERVER 2005 as one way to do this I know is to restore the database in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Manager but I can't install SQL Server 2005. To my knowledge, SQL Server Express uses .mdf file for database but what I have is .BAK file.. I would be really glad to see your quick answers. Thank you for reading this far. Sincerely, Zulfiqar
I am working on a ASP.NET 2.0 project with an SQL 2005 database. I created a documents table with various columns including: DocumentId and DocumentUrl
My documents will always be PDF's of SWF's (Flash Paper Files)
I will need to display this files in my web pages.
My question is: Should I save the DocumentUrl in the database or should I save the file itself in the database?
I am very inexperienced with the Administration side of SQL Server 2005.
I have been given a .bak file which I need to restore onto my SQL Server. The database .bak file was created on another PC and I cannot seem to restore/recover the .bak file onto my SQL Server.
In SQL 2005, is it possible to read the date modified of a file which is located on the hard drive of the server? Is there a procedure/function that would allow you to do so?
