I Want To Connect To A Ms Sql Server,but ...invalid Pointer...why?
Dec 28, 2004
i want to conncet to a ms sql server,but the debug info: "invalid pointer!"
is there any problems in my coding?
by debugging, i know the problem must lie in the variant strConnect.
i use ms sql server 2000+ winxp+ visual c++6.0
_bstr_t strConnect="Provider=SQLOLEDB;
TRUSTED_CONNECTION=TRUE;//use windows log in
Initial Catalog=....../*database name*/;
Data Source=SJTU-3V87CA6SZP";//server name
m_pConnection->Open(strConnect,"","",adModeUnknown);
Hello, I am working on a dll that is being loaded by browsers. I have to check if the hostname of a requested page is in a database containing sites that have to be blocked. I am using the following code to connect to the db:
The strange thing is that this code is running fine with Internet Explorer but when the dll is loaded by Firefox pConn->Open() fails with Invalid pointer error. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Martin
I searched the archives but couldn't find anything on this yet...
I am using the wizard to grab selected data from 6.5 Server1 to insert into a table on 6.5 Server2, no transformations necessary.
I've tried it two ways (actually more, but two ways will demonstrate the problem). The query I run to grab the data is search through approx 6.5 million records in poorly indexed tables, on a slow machine. Takes approximately 45 minutes to run the query alone, and right around the same to run the DTS package.
The difference between the two queries in the two different packages (all else equal), is that the first uses a variable to calculate a date to filter the where clause. The second hard codes the date in the where clause. The second works, but the first runs about 40 minutes before returning a Transfer Failed error that reads "Invalid Pointer". No error number, nothing in the Books online about the error.
The queries are as follows: *************************************** QUERY 1 (calculates the date for 11:00 PM night before last)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @DateLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
*************************************** QUERY 2 (Hard codes the date)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > 'Aug 29 1999 11:00PM' And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
***************************** I should also note that I thought maybe the hard coded date being used as a string was the difference, so I tried the following (which just converts the date back into a char variable and uses the char variable in the where clause)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @CharLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
************************************ This still didn't work...
Any Ideas on what is happening and/or how to fix it??? Amy
I am by no means a "Database Expert" and have recently been asked toassist with a SQL 2000 database move to a new server. I was wonderingif there was an easy way to reconfigure the ODBC pointers on theworkstations?Thanks for the help in advance.
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
Dear all,On Win2000 server with SP3, I am trying to access a SQL Server 7.0database, "TestDB", from VB6 via a SQL Server ODBC system DSN using ADO2.7. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a login named "Tester".In its property window, NO "Server Roles" was assigned but its"Database Access" was set to "TestDB". This login was also made as theuser of "TestDB" with "public", "db_datareader" and "db_datawriter"selected as its "Database role membership". All the tables I am tryingto access in "TestDB" were created under "Tester".My code is like:Set conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "DSN=TestDSN;UID=Tester;PWD=test"Set cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = conncmd.CommandText = SQLset rs = cmd.Execute()If I set the SQL to something like "SELECT * FROM tbl_test", I alwaysget an error of "-2147217865" saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL ServerDriver][SQL Server] Invalid object name tbl_test". If I set the SQL to"SELECT * FROM Tester.tbl_test", everything runs properly. Could anyoneplease kindly advise why the first SQL is not working? Or in otherwords, why must I prefix the table name with its owner while the DBconnection is already made under that owner name? Thanks in advance.Tracy
I am attempting to call a user defined function from a stored procedure in the same database, and I get the following error:Invalid object name 'dbo.fn_NewSplit'.I've tried calling it as dbo.fn_NewSplit, fn_NewSplit etc. I also setup another that had my DB login IE ihomesm_maindb.fn_NewSplit and get the same results. Interestingly there is another previously built stored procedure calling the same function with apparantly no problems. Also, I have tried to execute this stored procedure with both my .net application and within the query analyzer with the same error.
While I'm sure I'm missing something very stupid here.... I cannot get this sproc to run successfully. I get "Error 207: Invalid Column Name tbl_images.imgID". Yes that column exists in that table, and it's case is exactly the same as what I have in the select text.
I'm baffled, any help would be great thanx!
CREATE PROCEDURE spImagesbyCategory @categoryID varchar AS
FROM tbl_products LEFT JOIN (SELECT catalogID, MIN(imgFileName) AS imgFileName FROM tbl_images GROUP BY catalogID) tbl_images ON tbl_products.catalogID = tbl_images.catalogID WHERE tbl_products.categoryid Like '%' + @categoryid + '%'
I'm having trouble with the following code. I get a "Invalid procedure call or argument" error in response to OpenResultset. The same command works in MSQuery and when ADO is used. Does anyone have any insight?
We're using VB5.0 SP2 and SQL Server 7 Beta 3.

We are adding a second web server to our farm. Reporting Services is installed on one web server as Rpt01 instance and works just fine. We have installed the second web server also with an instance named Rpt01 and are now trying to configure to re-use the same database as the first server. When we restart services we get the error listed below.
I was wondering if there was an issue with the same named instances on two different web servers accessing the same ReportServer01 database? This is the error that we are getting. Any help would be appreciated. The curious thing is that our databases are named ReportServer01 and ReportServer01TempDB and not the name listed below.

I have a vb 6 program that has been running for several years against a 6.5 db. I convert the db to 2000, and now when I repoint the software to the 2000 db, I get "Invalid Authorization Specification" when I try to open the connection. The connection string is:Dim conn As ADODB.ConnectionSet conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB" & _ ";Data Source=" & sServer & _ ";Initial Catalog=" & sDB & _ ";User Id=" & goProcess.UserID & _ ";Password=" & goProcess.Password & ";"All of the variables are filled out correctly, when I go against a 6.5 it works, Sql Server 2000 doesn't.
I have a query I'm using in a report. It runs fine until I add the code with a declared variable called @Total. I'm thinking it has something to do with how Im trying to use3 the variable in the query before the UNION ALL.
thinking it has to do with using the variable in the query at the bottom before the UNION ALL

Hi,I used SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. I created a stored procedurehaving input parameters as smallint,tinyint,char,varchar andsmalldatetime. When I executed it by Query Analyzer, it's ok. But whenI executed it by ASP code that used ADODB.command, it showed error:Invalid character value for cast specification .Though SQL Server debugger, it showed:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for castspecificationWhat did I do wrong? How do I fix this problem?TIAKrungPS: One of input parameters was smalldatetime, but I casting it in ASPas date as:Const adDate=7datetxt='2004/6/28'cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("CoopId",adChar,adParamInput, 8, coopid)cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Addr",adVarChar,adParamInput, 100, addr)...cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Cdate",adDate,adParamInput, , datetxt)....cmd.execute
Microsoft confirmed that the error message "The command line parameters are invalid" issue mentioned above is a bug and has been resolved in the next "drop" of SQL Server 2005.
has this error been fixed by microsoft. Cos i still get this error!!!!!!!!!
I am also trying to run the package from command line and when i click on execute the package it runs half way and hangs. What could be the problem????.
But when i run it from my Studio and stored package it works fine!!!
I have a scenario where I need to develop a stored proc to identify invalid input provided.
Following is a sample scenario
Create table product (ProductId varchar(10),SizeId int,ProductColor varchar(10)); insert into Product select 'Prod1',10,'Black' union ALL select 'Prod1',10,'BLue' union ALL select 'Prod2',20,'Green' union ALL select 'Prod2',10,'Black' ;
[Code] ....
In following TSql Code , Color and Size are optional. Both are provided as comma separated input. I have provided "bbc" as wrong color and "MM" as wrong size. I want to identify if color is invalid or size (MM is in valid for Black and Blue) and to set flag accordingly.
I'm running Vista Business edition on 2005 Virtual PC.Installed SQL Server 2005 Express latest download, with instance ofMSSQLSERVER and service accounts running under "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM".Mixed mode authentication specified and sa password specified.Used server manager to create user login with sysadmin role.Login using windows authentication.Run my application and database is created and populated with defaultrecords.However, my application executes the stored procedure "sp_helpdb"which fails with "Invalid object name '#spdbdesc'" error.If I run a query in server manager to execute same procedure loggedinas the same person it runs ok and returns a table of information.All this was working ok on XP with MSDE2000A previously.I'm programming in .NET C# CLR2.0, any body know what's going wrong?
We have an SSIS package that reads in a tab delimited file and throughs the data into a SQL Server 2005 table. The package worked fine on the test files but when we recieved the production files we are getting the error message:
Invalid data for type "numeric".
Needless to say this is not very discriptive. I ran a trace on the DB durning the call and its doing a bulk insert
BULK INSERT [dbo].[FNIAllAppData] FROM 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT 00000000000015b800000000009fbd88' WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'DTS_Buffers', CODEPAGE = 'RAW', CHECK_CONSTRAINTS, TABLOCK)
When I changed the Data Flow Destination off to OLE DB Destination the error does not occure and all records are loaded successfully.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,I've developed an ASP.NET application which uses MS-SQL Server 2000 as abackend. But as the site hits increase SQL server reponse becomes lower.At some stage after that SQL Server gets automativally stopped bringingcomplete web-application down to halt. i checked the Windows 2000 EventLogs and found several error logs indicating folloowing line."SQL Server 2000 Error 17805 Invalid buffer received from client.". Butno errors on UI side. What may be the actual problem.In storedproceduresor at some other place?Awaiting favourble reply.Regards,Amit*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I have installed the trial enterprise edition of sql server 2005. I am trying to recreate a dts packages. I am using an iseries OLE DB provider. In the data flow the connection to a physical file that has string data gets translated into binary data. Has any one gotten a download to work with the correct data?
I keep recieving a "Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server D"CUSTOMERLINK". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema."
I'm attempting to set up a linked server from SQL 2005 to Oracle 10.2. I run the following sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin procedures:
sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'CUSTOMERLINK',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@srvproduct = 'ORACLE',
@datasrc = 'CUSTOMER'
GO
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'CUSTOMERLINK',
@useself = 'False',
@rmtuser = 'CUSTOMER1',
@rmtpassword = 'PASSWORD!'
These procedures complete successfully. I then run a sp_tables_ex procedure:
This procedure completes successfully and gives me all of the table names in my oracle database that relate to the Customer1 schema.
Then when I go to run a query
select id from [CUSTOMERLINK].[CUSTOMERDB].[CUSTOMER1].[CLIENT] Where name = 'codm'
I recieve a "Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server D"CUSTOMERLINK". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema." error.
The subject pretty much sums the problem up. I am trying to get a database installed on Server 2008 RC0. The public information says SQL 2005 SP2 should work, but I cannot get the base SQL 2005 installed in order to apply the service pack. When I run the installation, I immediately get an error when trying to install the pre-requisites. Specifically, the .NET 2.0 Framework errors with code 87, "invalid parameter".
I have found a couple references to this error code, but nothing to do with Server 2008 and RC0. I have tried using a directory with no spaces, and tried the EXE vs ISO installation, but they everything fails. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the .NET 2.0 Framework install - since it's already on the machine anyway.
I am trying to execute a stored procedure to update a table and I am getting Invalid Object Name. I am create a cte named Darin_Import_With_Key and I am trying to update table [dbo].[Darin_Address_File]. If I remove one of the update statements it works fine it just doesn't like trying to execute both. The message I am getting is Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 58 Invalid object name 'Darin_Import_With_Key'.
BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; WITH Darin_Import_With_Key AS ( SELECT [pra_id] ,[pra_ClientPracID]
I have a specific variation on the standard 'Column Invalid' question: I have this query that works fine:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC , vd.RType
[Code] ....
When I add this second average column like this:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,
[Code] ....
I get the error: Column 'dbo.vwData.Response' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Clearly things are in the right place before the change, so I can only assume that the OVER clause is my problem. Is this just not possible?

I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
