Holy Crap, SQL 2005 Installer Completely Sucks

Feb 28, 2007

There appears to be no way to prevent SQL 2005 from installing roughly 1.5GB of stuff on the C: drive - even if you click that advanced button and select a different drive for all the components.

I can't find an easy way around this, other than rebuild the C: drive on a bunch of systems. Anyone have any other ideas?

Completely Script SQL 2005 Database

Oct 18, 2006

Hi Everyone, what im looking for is a way or a freeware utility that will genereate a single SQL Script, for my entire db...

Just like phpMyAdmin does for MySQL...

it would need to script my tables, the data of those tables, and all my stored proc's.

Can SQL Server management studio do this? or does anyone know of a utility that will.

Thanks, Justin

Completely Remove Sql Server 2005

Oct 9, 2007

I need help for completely removing sql server 2005 from my computer.
I have tried unintalling it through Add/Remove programs,but when i try to reinstall it this message appears :
"Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online."
I think that there is something that is not completely removed from the first installation.

How To Completely Uninstall SQL 2005 Std On Vista?

Aug 4, 2007

I have just migrated from XP Professional to Windows Vista Home Premium using Laplink€™s PCMover. PCMover gives no choice but moving everything to the new PC. I tried to uninstall everything related to SQL 2005, but whenever I try to install SQL 2005 Standard€™s database engine or analysis service, I get an error saying there is already an instance.


I tried the following command:
"%ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapARPWrapper.exe /Remove


I also tried:
start /wait msiexec /x {GUID} /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log

Is there anyway to completely uninstall everything of SQL 2005 in my situation?
Thanks in advance!

SQL Server 2005 Express Install---Win 3.1 Installer

Jul 25, 2006

Okay, this must be the silliest question of the day. I downloaded SSE, but when it ran, it noted that I needed Win 3.1 Installer. Went and got that, installed it, and restarted. But where is my SSE download? I tried to go back to the SSE download, but it won't download the file again. Nothing happens when I click on the download link.

TIA,

UPDATE SUCKS!

Apr 4, 2007

Okay this is what I'm trying to do:
I'm reading 2 fields from a database into 2 textfields.  I want the user to be able to change the data and hit a button to save the changes.
I have the data flowing into the controls.  No problem, but when I call the update method from the button click event I get this error:
"You have specified that your update command compares all values on SqlDataSource 'TestDS', but the dictionary passed in for oldValues is empty.  Pass in a valid dictionary for update or change your mode to OverwriteChanges."
I'm thinking, "alright, I'll just change the setting..."  So I do and it won't update.
1:  First of all, I don't know what the dictionary is, for all I know it was a book written by some guy named webster.  2:  Second, I have the parameters in the update command pared down to 2 - the data fields.  (I want to affect 1 record and I'm comparing it to a known value)3:  I KNOW that the SQL command works - in AD hock it works flawlessly.  (1 row affected)4:  Other people have this problem and it seems that no one has been able to help them.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE FOGGIEST NOTION WHAT IN BLAZES IS GOING ON!?
Thank you in advance.

Query From Mssql To Sybase Sucks

Mar 21, 2006

Hi,

I got a big problem. I try to run a query on ms query analyzer or my .net-app, but in both cause, it wouldn't work. when i run the query in ms query analyzer it returns me this error-message:

Der aktuelle Zeilenwert der [verkauf_online]..[hs].[std_ftext].text-Spalte konnte nicht vom OLE DB-Provider 'MSDASQL' gelesen werden.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Die angeforderte Konvertierung wird nicht unterstützt.]
OLE DB-Fehlertrace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IRowset::GetData returned 0x80040e1d].

sorry, its in german, i know but the most important fact is, that a conversion failed. i tried to read a text-field from a sybase asa-8-database which is linked with a ms sql-server 2000. I tried to find out more about the error-messe an the error-code (x80040e1d) but i couldn't find anything helpful.

Now, I just hope some of you can maybe help me.

My Installer

Mar 2, 2008

Hi everyone. I have a question.

I have an installer that runs seamlessly in any 32bit -x86 OS. But if I tried to run the exe(installer) to any 64bit OS, yeah it runs and creates a database, but does not create a tables on it...

The installer is compiled in a platform 32bit OS.

Do you have any idea about this? Do I need to recompile the application in a 64bit OS?

Am Completely Lost

Jun 10, 2006

Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL.  I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table.  From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table.   I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist?  I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.

Installer Problem

Oct 22, 2007

Hello all,

I am trying to install an instance of Compact Edition via the command line. I am using the SQLServerCE31-EN.msi file. Below is the parameters that I have passed

/qb ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=myInstance SQLAUTOSTART=1 SAPWD=myPassword SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0"

However, when the executable runs. the instance under the Add/remove window shows as "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition[ENU]". Previous versions show the instance name instead of the "ENU". For example "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition(myInstance)".

Is there something wrong with the parameters that I am passing? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

SP1 Installer Can't Connect

Apr 28, 2006

The installer for SP1 can't seem to connect to my unnamed instance of SQL Server 2005 Developer, even though:
I'm using Windows Authentication (don't ask...)I can connect with no problem using SSMS using those exact same credentialsAnyone know how to get this to work? I've downloaded the installer from our MSDN Subscription, so I can't imagine what the issue could be (and I'm just a dev, not a DBA).

Thanks,

Won't Let Me Completely Install The Server. PLEASE HELP!

May 23, 2005

I installed sql2ksp3 from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the setup SAPWD and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect. So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the sql2ksp3 from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end, saying it couldn't setup the server. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!

Does SQL Work Completely In Memory

Feb 1, 2008

Assume you have a query SELECT Column1 from Table WHERE Column2 = 'x' Say you have a non-clustered index on Column2. The engine is going to load the non-clustered index into memory to search for that record then do a lookup to the clustered index to grab column one also but quickly becuase it knows the RowID.. Right?

Is that safe to assume that every table that is queried would need to be in memory? ie the buffer pool? So if I have a table that has 2 million records, any operation on that data requires the table to be in memory?

Can I Have Replication Between Two Completely Different Schemas?

Feb 22, 2007

Hi SQL guys,

I have 2 different databases and an import tool that reads from one and fills the other one and then whenever we run it, it should synch the two databases and its kind of a heavy task. I was wondering if i can replace it with replication between these databases. I defined publisher and subscriber, but i cannot find anywhere that i can say which field in source maps to which field in destination.

Is it possible at all to have a replication between 2 databases with totally different schemas? If so, please let me know how.

Thanks,

Sina

DTS Packages Not Migrating Completely

Jun 28, 2007

Hi, I upgraded several of my SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005 databases. I'm in the process of migrating over the DTS packages over to SSIS packages. I'm using the DTSMigrationWizard utilty to do this migration. When I started testing the SSIS packages I've discovered that not all the steps were being excuted. So I've noticed on several of the packages not everything migrated over. Such as connections to oracle and some of the task as well did not migrate over. Is there a way to migrate the entire DTS package to SSIS or do I have to re-create the entire package from scratch or is there a better way to get the SQL 2000 DTS packages over to SQL 2005 and have them run successfully?

How Do You Uninstall SQL Express Completely?

May 24, 2008

Hello Win XP Pro, SP3 ,.Net 1.1,2.0,3.5, ASP.Net 2.0.

I made the mistake of trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a requirement to install dashCommerce. That was a big mistake. It never installed and it screwed up my current install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

I have been trying for two days now to get my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition back to normal. I can't run and test my programs in VS2005 that use SQL anymore and it's keeping me from getting my work done.

I tried uninstalling everything SQL using Add Remove Programs. Deleted all temp, SQL and unneeded files. Ran defrag. Restarted my computer. I did all that three times and still am unable to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

On the existing components screen, i get the message "The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details."

It won't allow me to check any options and when i click next, it gives the error "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel"

All i can do is cancel out of it.

Any help from anybody to figure out why i can't install SQL Express again would be gratefully appreciated.

This problem is keeping me from doing my work, it's frustrating. Is there a way to totally clean my machine of any SQL so i can get back to doing my job?

Thanks,
Tony

Finding Completely Overlapping Segments

Jun 5, 2008

ok folks, I need help.

Here's the table and some sample data:


declare @t table
(
segment int,
subsegment int,
primary key (segment,subsegment)
)
insert @t
select 1,33 union all
select 1,22 union all
select 2,33 union all
select 2,22 union all
select 3,33 union all
select 3,22 union all
select 3,44


What I want is to find all segments that are in some sense complete duplicates of other segments. a segment is made up of subsegments. a subsegment is not a segment - it's a completely different entity. this table is not hierarchical.

So in the sample data above, segments 1 and 2 are dupes because they share exactly the same subsegments: 22 and 33. Segment 3 is not a dupe because it has a third subsegment the other two don't have: 44.

when a duped segment is found, I need to know which other segment it duplicates. so an acceptable result set for the above sample data would be:


segment partner
------- -------
1 2


this would also be fine:


segment partner
------- -------
1 2
2 1


ps: i already posted this on dbforums - just broadening the audience a little.
