I'm new to MS DM and am using the book "Data Mining with SQL Server 2005" by Wiley. On page 95 I try to follow the procedure for creating a named calculation, but I get this error: IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL(0x80004005). Any ideas what's wrong?
View 6 RepliesWhen I creat a Named Calculation with the following code:
case
when [Sales]<1000 then 'Below'
when [Sales]<2000 then 'O.K.'
when [Sales]>=2000 then 'Good'
else 'None'
end
I get error on save:
IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL(0x80004005).
Thanks.

I can not seem to create a Named Calculation on a table that I have already created a Named Query on in my data source view. Any idea why this is and if there is a work around for it?
TIA
Wellman
I am trying to get a date diff in a named calculation using inner join I am getting
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. #
I have checked online and have been able to get some of my codes right by using the where condition in place of the inner join, but I have not been able to work around the datediff one
(select
DATEDIFF(day,TDate,[DID])
FROM [dv].[dbo].[Dail] as D
inner join
[dv].[dbo].[ANT] as A
on
a.AID = d.AID)
As understand it, the only way to add another SQL Express 2005 named instance is to run SQLEXPR32.EXE again. However, when you to, right at the end, you get the following error message:
"An installation package for the product MS SQLK Server VSS Writer cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SQLWriter.msi'"
So, I deleted all named instances, and the repeated the procedure and did not get this error and it installed fine. Obviously, I would not be able to delete all instances, but in this case it didn't matter.
So, here are my questions:
Question 1) Am I correct you must rerun SQLEXPR32.EXE to create a new named instance? (I think the answer is yes)
Question 2) Is there a way to rename an existing named instance? (I think the answer is no)
Question 3) The install/uninstall for SQLEXPR32.EXE is incredibly buggy. I have spend days trying to remove an named instance with no succes. Once your remove all named instances from Control Pannel, you stll have not removed SQL Express 2005. How do you remove it? We are considering other avenues because of the incredible problems with this product. Also, we inadvertantly installed SQL Express 2005 Advanced Services, when we meant to install SQL Express 2005, so we would like to uninstall Advance Serviuces and reinstall SQL Express 2005
Question 4) I am switching from the Outlook Express newsgroups to these groups. In the context of these groups, what is the difference betwee a Forum and a Newsgroup?
Thanks
Bob
I need to create a named instance on a sql cluster.
How do I perform this? Is it as simple as creating a named instance on a standalone machine? Is there anything I need to consider?
I have created calcalated measures in a SQL Server 2012 SSAS multi dimensional model by creating empty measures in the cube and use scope statements to fill the calculation.
(so I can use measure security on calculations
as explained here  )
SCOPE [Measures].[C];
THIS = IIF([B]=0,0,[Measures].[A]/[Measures].[B]);
Hi I am having to convert some oracle reports to Reporting Services. Where I am having difficulty is with the
calculations.
Oracle

this is a sfar as I have got with the sql version

visit_date is date datatype visit_time is number datatype. have removed : from MI(here)SS as was showing as smiley.

VS 2005 BI Tools
SQLServer 2005
I have a web application developed in VS.NET 2005 [using C# as code behind]; and it uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition as backend.
The application runs fine, though it gives an error on IRREGULAR intervals on SQL data requests.
Error Details:
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)
My problem is this:
1) Why does it show an error of SQL 2005, while I use SQL 2000. SQL 2005 is not even installed on the server, though VS.NET 2005 is installed.
2) The error comes only at irregular intervals. Users are able to login properly otherwise.
3) Application starts working again if we do either of the following: (a) Restart IIS (b) Restart application pool (c) Restart server.
4) Named pipes and TCP/IP are added to the "Network Configuration" of the SQL server 2000.
5) Error does not come on any specific page; or any specific code; or at any specific time.
6) We do not have any background service or any other activity happening on the server; and the server hosts only this application, within a single virtual root.
Any thoughts on why is this happening, and how to resolve this?

Hello there,
I recently started having trouble with my local SQL Server 8.0 database server. When I try to start it with Enterprise Manager I get the following error:
An error 5 - (Access is denied) occured while performing this service operation on the MSSQLServer service.
Nothing showed up in the SQL Server error logs. If I try to connect to it using the SQL Server Management Studio that came with SQL Server 2005 I get the following (slightly more informative) message:
Cannot connect to (local) ... (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
I'm not sure which log to look at in the MSSQL folders: MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2 or MSSQL.3.
Furthermore, if I manually start the MSSQLSERVER service, then I can connect just fine with the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio but still get the weird error message with SQL Server 8.0 Enterprise Manager.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I have installed MSSQL 2005 successfuly, checked the services their are running I can connect to the

HI,
I am getting an error message when I have installed SQL server 2005 and trying to access it through my component. The error message is €œAn error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections (Named pipes provider)?€?
I would be obliged if anyone can help me in this regard.

Hi all,
I've got a little problem.
I'm working on a ASP.NET project. The applications has 4-layers. When I look in the Data Access Layer and test the typed dataset, then the "Preview Data" works fine. I see the right records from SQL Server 2005.
But when I run the app (default.aspx) in debug-mode, then the system gives the following error:
"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)"
Please help.....
Hi All,
I inherited a web server (I'll refer to as WS1) that is running MS 2003 SP2 with Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator (I have no clue what version of SQL Server this is? Any idea on how to find it is greatly appreciated, but not necessarily what I'm after in this post). There is a default website (website.com) which resides on the C: drive. This was built with asp. On the default.asp page there is a link to an administrative portion (admin.com). This was built with DotNetNuke (.aspx) and resides on the D: drive. All works fine.
I recently was tasked to set up a new web server (I'll refer to as WS2) with MS 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005. I imported the database and websites from WS1 that I needed. Both websites are now on the C: drive. Since WS1 is currently live, I can't use website.com and must use the IP address. No problem...the default website website.com opens fine. I also changed how I call the admin.com site. Since I can't open it as href=admin.com and because I already have a default website, I tried creating a virtual directory under the default site to open it. But I'm getting the following error:
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)
Looking through the posts on the web, I'm not sure what to do. I originally thought the problem might be with my web.config. But now I'm not sure. I'm not even close to being a network admin or a dba so keep that in mind when you respond. Here's what I've checked:
1) Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections >> Remote Connections: Local and remote connections is selected with the "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" option selected.
2) Computer Management >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Protocols for MYWEBSITE: TCP/IP & Named Pipes are enabled
I can connect to the database via SQL Server Management Studio, so I know the database is up and running.
Also, the original web.config file for the admin.com website looks something like this:
<add key="WebDSN" value="Server=(local);Database=Database1;uid=userid1;pwd=password1;" />
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=Database2;uid=userid2;pwd=password2;" />
Hope I haven't confused you, but I probably have. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

I have an app that I've written in .NET 2.0 using SQL 2000 as the back end. It works fine in development but when I move it out to our QA server I get the following error. 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) One of the odd things I notice is that the error message references SQL Server 2005 when that's not installed on our QA box, only SQL 2000 is on it. I've checked the server and TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Here is my connection string<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>There's at least one other .NET 2.0 application running on this server that accesses the database so I know that it can work! However, have access to the source code for that application so it's not any help with my troubleshooting. Any thoughts or ideas?

I have been getting this error for about 6 hours now. I have read every article from google about it and absolutely none of the solutions work for me.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition
I downloaded and installed Visual Studio Web Developer Express about a week ago.
I downloaded SQL Server Express 2005 yesterday.
It installed fine.
I got my first error trying to add New Item->Sql Server Database only to find out the default instance SQLExpress was not working and i was running a different instance.
Anyway, I am trying to connect to sql server with the below code:
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("server=mycomp/mssqlserver;database=mydb;Trusted_Connection=yes");
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select category, title, article from articles where id=15");// + article + ");", myConnection);
myConnection.Open();
Which give me the below error:

I am about to uninstall sql server and .net and call it quits.
This stupid server is too hard to configure.
If anyone could help me get it running it would be gretly appreciated however, this question seems to be asked all over the net and i have read gazzilions of threads with all kinds of answers but nothing works.

Could an administrator have disabled the ability of Named Pipes to make a connection?
I have a simple ASP page calling a COM+ function. The COM+ function is attempting to execute a stored proc on a SQL Server 2000 database. I am getting the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.
The connection string I am using looks as follows:
driver={SQL Server};server=10.10.1.60;database=eSystem;uid=sa; pwd=;
- I have Named Pipes *disabled* on the SQL Server machine (at 10.10.1.60).
- As you can see, the connection string contains an IP Address and not the name of the SQL machine
- The server running the ASP page can ping the server sitting at 10.10.1.60
- The eSystem database does exist on the SQL machine sitting at 10.10.1.60
I suspect my error has to do with Named Pipes being used and I don't want to use Named Pipes. Could someone help me?
Thanks very much.
Is there a query I can run in a DB where I can search for object names that will tell me where or what it is? Trigger Name? Table Name? Constraint Name? Index NAme? or whatever?
Thanks
1) I can connect to SQL Server 2012 named instance from SSMS.
I can launch Power shell in any of the supported data contexts, for example from the named instance.
However when I try to run a query in Power Shell, I get the named pipes error.
2)I can also provide a connection string and connect to the SQL Server Instance form Windows PowerShell after launching SQLPS, the same as in the above. I can open the connection and verify its state, but trying to run a query results in the same error.
I also see that named pipes is enabled in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Some of this is the result of some ambiguity in the Windows User Account in Windows 8 computer. Some of this is documented in more detail here: [URL] .....
This link is not directly related to the above problem, but arises out of the ambiguity in the Username retrieval: [URL] ....
Ok so i have spent almost 2 days searching google and have yet to find
the answer. Currently I'm getting this error.
"Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80004005'
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [1326]
/anyof/5or6.asp pages various line numbers"
Now a little bit about the setup.
There are 2 head end Web servers ( one of which never has any issues )
in an NLB cluster with DFS file sharing of the web root directories
and 1 back end database. each server has 3 network cards, 1 is a
private connection shared by all 3 servers, 1 is a cluster
communication connection between the 2 cluster nodes ( cross over ),
and the last one is the Public network ( the one that houses the NLB
IP address and each servers public ip address ) all servers are
running Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 sp2 ( with current patches ),
The version of SQL server is SQL Server 9.0.3042
All versions of the MDAC libraries are the same. After logging in
the the problem server will sometimes ( about 50% of the time ) throw
this error at a random spot in the page. There are about 10 - 20
tables filled with data from the database. This error can appear after
any of these tables has loaded ( this is the frustrating part ) and
sometimes it nevergets the error. The other server never has this
issue.
Currently i have tested by going to the servers IP address ( these are
the default sites on each server )
From the server that is failing I have run persistent pings with out
packet loss to the SQL server during failure. I have run memtest and
received no errors. I really don't know what else there is to
check. and as i have stated before. the other head end server
never gets these errors ( and is using the same ASP code as the one
that is failing. )

tnks.
EDIT : It really works well when you try to execute a MSSQL stored procedure against an MSSQL database rather then an oracle one. I was using the wrong connection string. Idiot
So I am getting this familiar error

However the wierd part about it is that I can use SqlDataSources via my aspx code and all works fine. I am trying to build on into a cs plass and that is when I get that error. I have verified that I can connect and use the database. the login functionality works perfectly fine. I can update, delete, select and insert records all over the place. However the code below produces the above error.
string connection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ersConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
// Change this over to a SQLDataSource and see if that makes a difference
// Still doesn't work need to look into it further
SqlDataSource source1 = new SqlDataSource();
source1.InsertParameters.Add("UserId", UserId.ToString());
source1.InsertParameters.Add("Action", action);
source1.InsertParameters.Add("CurrentTimeUtc", DateTime.UtcNow.ToString());
source1.InsertCommand = "sproc_UpdateUsersCurrentActivity";
source1.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure;
source1.ConnectionString = connection;
source1.Insert();
all the variables are declared and filled that is not the issue, anyone have any idea?
I got the following error using either NT or SQL Login ('sa') that are sysadmin in my SQL 2005 instance:
Your Account information could not be verified for one or more instances. Ensure that you can connect to all the selected instances using the account information provided. To process further deselect the instances to which connectivity cannot be established.
However, I would login to SQL 2005 named instance, either NT or SQL login 'sa' without any problems to do anything I want because both are sysadmin.
<PS> Note that my default SQL instance in my local server is SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 named instance.

Hi,
I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;
One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"
Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".
It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!
Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

Hello,
I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.
Here is my case:
I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.
I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hello All!
I'm getting the following error message below from SQL server error log, see below.
And the following error on the web browers:

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.

I have see this link (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=192622&SiteID=1) and other links and done the changes they recommend, but it does not give any positive results.
I have also in the firewall added named pipes internal and external port 445.
I have also in RUN executed "cliconfg.exe" and enable the tcp ip port number 1433 and named pipes "sqlquery".
In the sql server configuration manager, have I enabled both tcp/ip and named pipes. The same in the server surface area configuration. I have also enabled remote access.
Still having the same problem??!!??
Iam out of ideas ...
Please need help, thanks in forehand!
