Determing SQL Server Patch Level
May 12, 2008
Sort of new to MSSQL and I have a problem with my maintenance script not deleting files on 2 out of 3 servers so I am trying to determine what patch level I am at.
'Server A' works as expected:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2050.00 (Intel X86)
Feb 13 2007 23:02:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
These two servers don't:
Server B.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2050.00 (Intel X86)
Feb 13 2007 23:02:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
Server C.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Oct 14 2005 00:33:37
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
So I can see where I should patch server B to SP2 but why does Server C report as 9.00.1399 SP2?

I'm in the process of writing some utility scripts which will
interface SQL2K to our backup storage system, Tivoli. In our shop we
"fire" the backup process from the Tivoli storage server by invoking a
command script on the client server. The issue I've run into is that
some of our servers were installed with Named Instances, either
instead of or in addition to the default instance.
Rather than hard coding these values in the scripts I'm looking for a
way to determine all the instance names on a server. The scripts
could then be generic without custom tailoring for current and future
servers (and instances).
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks,

I was wondering if there is a simple patch for 2000 server. It seems that the only fix is to edit the registry and to use the time zone editor app. If there is a simple patch like there is for the 2003 servers i would appreciate it if anyone can show me where. I have about 80+ servers with 2000!!!
Much appreciated!

I am trying to set the WHERE clause in an SQL statement at runtime using a case statement like so
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE CASE @BrowseBy
WHEN 'Supplier' THEN
Supplier = @Value
WHEN
'PriceRange' THEN Price > 1000
WHEN
'BladeSpan' THEN BladeSpan = @Value
WHEN
'MotorFinish' THEN FinishID = @Value
WHEN
'BladeFinish' THEN BladeFinish1 = @Value or BladeFinish2 = @Value
END
the above code gives me a syntax error... does anyone know of another way to accomplish this?
Thanx

All of my tables in my database have keys that are autonumbered (datatype int with identity set to 1).
Whenever I go to insert a new entry into the table I execute an INSERT INTO command and leave off the key field, so that it is automatically inserted with the new row.
However, I need to that number, so that I may insert it as foreign key into another table. How would I go about retrieving this number? I thought about doing a Max() on that field, but I am not confident that SQL server would always use a higher number than everything previous. Is there a better way of accomplishing this? Is my design flawed from the start? Any feedback would helpful. Thank you.

I plan to apply the new security patch on my SQL 7.0 sp3 servers and get my SQL 2000 servers up to SP2 (which apparently already includes this)
But I was reading the Mitigating Factors in the announcement of this vulnerability and one reads as below:
"The effect of exploiting the first vulnerability would depend on how the SQL Server service was configured. SQL Server can be configured to run in a security context of the administrator’s choosing. (By default, it runs as a domain user). If best practices are followed, and the service is configured to run with the least privileges necessary, it would limit the worst-case damage an attacker could achieve. "
So my question is: What is the best practice for the SQL Server service and Agent service? Also are there resources for Best Practices?
Thanks!!

I am trying to apply this patch to a Developers Edition of SQL 2000. According to the instructions, I am to replace ssnetlib.pdb, located int the binndll folder. well, this file does not exist in this or any other folder on the server. I have installed SP2 and all previous patches. Anyone have any idea why this is and how to resolve it?

Hi,
I have discovered something wrong with my SSIS package and I thought it best to post a new thread since the problem is not what I thought it was initially.
With relation to my post of 'directory variable problem' I have now discovered by opening my project this morning that apparently my project had gone corrupt, according to the dev environment since the message reads:
"There were errors while the package was being loaded.The package might be corrupted.See the Error List for details."
The Error List:
"Error 13 Error loading MyTestSSISPackage.dtsx: The connection "(local).MyTestDB.sa" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found."
This is a buggy ADO.net connection that I deleted yesterday since, even though it connects successfully, doesn't want to work! It keeps on telling me log in failed for user <MyTestUser> even after I test it and it connects fine with the username and password during the UDL screen of the connection.. It's like it forgets the bloody password.
I created another connection, this time an OLE connection and it seems to work fine.
*EDITED*
I stand corrected..no bloody connection manager is working now. They all fail stating that they cannot connect to the db due to some or another 'unsupported' value in the connection string...the connectionstring was set up by the environment's udl????? how is this possible. I am beginning to get annoyed with SSIS
Now finally my question...WHY is it that every time I change something its like the dev environment doesn't cascade the change throughout the project or package? The problem I have been having with my variables not getting picked up with the correct values which I gave them during design time is probably also related to this. How or where can I remove the reference to this old ADO.Net connection since I cannot find it anywhere in the <package>.dtsx file?
Anyone ever experienced this?
Regards
Mike

According to SP1 documentation patching the Active node in a cluster will automatically apply the SP1 patch to the Passive nodes. However, I found a MS document that says if you have management tools installed on the passive node, you must patch this node separately. Is this correct?
Also, since Integration Services is not cluster-aware and therefore must be installed separately to the passive node(s), does SP1 need to be applied directly to the passive node(s) to patch Integration Services or is it automatically patched when I patch the Active node?
Thanks, Dave

Can anyone please advise me what is the easiest way to upgrade them to the
most updated patch version? i.e. update path.
Meanwhile, what is the best practice to apply patches? Do you go to
microsoft website and check it out daily and apply it or other tricks?
Please advise. Thanks.

Hi,
I have problem in install SQL Server 6.5 service patch 5a. I download the .exe
from Microsoft and try to install it, it give error:
"setup initalizarion could not be successfully completed.
isql.exe can not be executed.
see error from relevant.OUT file. "
I thought the setup file need to run name pipes prototal instead of TCP/IP, so I change, but still give me the error. I install SS service patch 5a in other mechines before. Never has any problem. This time two of my server run into this problem, any help will be appreciated.

<!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->
I posted this question before, and got a response about Windows Update. However, I work in a larger corp. and need to know if there are any other answers to this? We use a patch client that rolls out patches and service packs after we have tested them in our environment. What can we do to stay as up to date as possible for security patches?
How are security patches for SQL Server Express made available (e.g., as separate distributions or bundled into other Microsoft patch distribution mechanisms)? Are there specific procedures that I need to put in place to ensure that it gets patched on end user machines?

Hey!
Has anybody here had any issues with the MS03-031 security patch and SQL 2000 on Windows 2003?
We recently installed this patch on one of our test SQL 2000 machines, and the performance of queries running on this machine have gone up (gotten worse) by at least 10X.
We use indexed views and all queries are run with WITH(NOEXPAND) to force the indexed view to be used.
Anyway, after the patch was installed, the queries on the indexed view will ONLY use the clustered index, and not any of the other indexes, causing a Clustered Index Scan.
I removed the patch (well, re-installed SQL) patched it up to SP3a, and performance is back to normal.
Anybody experience anything similar?

When you utilize transactions in ADO.NET are the locks put on the entire TABLE used or at the row level?
For instance if you do a SELECT within a transaction if you only pull 5 rows out of a 1000 row table can you just make it lock the rows that have been pulled? It seems like it locks the entire table?
Thanks
