Connect SQL Server 2005 With ODBC Drive “SQL Native Client
Sep 13, 2007
Hi,
When I'm using SQL server 2005, and ODBC drive €œSQL Native Client€? I get an error when executing the below given code. Error Message: €œTransaction cannot start because more than one ODBC connection is in use.€?
But this works well with SQL Server 2000 with ODBC drive "SQL Native Client" and in SQL server 2005 also when I used ODBC drive €œSQL Server€?.
I used aTrgConn.Execute(€œBegin Transaction€?) and it's working properly. But unfortunately I cannot use this method, because I want to run the same code with Oracle ODBC as well.
Is this a known issue in SQL Native client drive with SQL server 2005? Do you know a solution for this?
Please Help..............
Thanks in advance.
Code:
Dim aTrgConn As New ADODB.connection
Dim aCmdIns As New ADODB.Command
Dim aCmdUpd As New ADODB.Command
aTrgConn.Open sConnStr
Set aCmdIns.ActiveConnection = aTrgConn
Set aCmdUpd.ActiveConnection = aTrgConn
aTrgConn.BeginTrans
How Do I Connect Client Machines To SQL Server 2005 Installed On A Windows 2003 Server
Apr 11, 2008I am new to SQL server 2005
Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.

Install SQL 2000 Client On SQL 2005 Server
Dec 27, 2007I'm trying to remember how to install the SQL 2000 client tools onto a SQL 2005 server. There are a couple of bizarre steps that will allow this to happen, but I can't for the life of me remember what comes after the unicycle down the stairs with the umbrella stand of machetes.
Can anybody remember the magic, or do I resort to using VPC to kludge the install until I can find my clay tablets again?

Server Is 2000, Client Is 2005: Problems!
Feb 27, 2007I'm
having difficulties when connecting to our SQL server 2000 from my SQL
Server Mgmt Studio 2005. I can't create tables and columns due to
permission errors. But from 2000 (on a different machine) it works
fine. *Sometimes* even when I log in with my AD account it won't let me
in and complains that user 'null' is not authorized to log in...
Anyway, I've installed both SP1 and SP2 and the problem still persists.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S>
I tinstalled SQL 2000 on my machine but that didn't help either; I
guess the 2005's configurations are being read by 2000.

Cannot Connect To 2000 From 2005 Via Linked Server
Dec 29, 2006Interesting issue.. I think
I have 2 linked servers on my dev 2005 instance (sp1-win 2003). My 2005 instance shares the physical server with a 2000 instance. This linked server works fine. The second linked server is on a separate server running sql 2000 sp3. I cannot connect to this server at all. I can connect the other way -- from the 2000 to the 2005. I have tried all kinds of combinations of security and options but nothing works. The only resolutions I have found referenced installing Management Studio on the 2000 server or creating an ODBC connection from the 2005 instance. Any ideas???
Here is the error I get:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" returned message "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.".

SQL Native Client 2005 Connect To Database Mirroring
Apr 7, 2008
Hi all,
i have a small problem to connect SQL Native ODBC Client to a mirrored Database.
The connection goes without any problem when I connect to a primary Database, but when i give this connect string to an
ODBC Client ""Server=Partner_A; Failover Partner=Partner_B; Database=XXX; Network=dbmssocn"", then i get an connect fail.
There are no firewalls and other things on the network.
I am also able to connect to a mirror database during failover, but I'm not able to set both servers on the ODBC Connection.

Client Cant Connect To Server
Aug 5, 2005We have installed a SQL 2000 server on a windows xp-pro machine and succesfully installed DotNetNuke. Now is the problem that there is no way we can manage to get a client connected. We have tried everything, changing tcp port, setting permissions, changing registry according to document 307197 in the microsoft database and nothing helps. The only thing we can see is that in the serverlog we get a message stating that "SuperSocket Info : Bind failed on TCP port 1433". Can anyone help?Regards Ulla & Tom

Jun 20, 2008Hi Guys,
I'm brand new to SQL server and all that and am having a little bit of hassles getting up and running.
I have a server 2003 computer running on my lan that I installed SQL server 205 express onto. I have attatched a database that I got with a C# book..
When I go into visual studio 2005 on the client to try and connect to te server vs cannot see the server at all.. the only server that displays is the client computer(which isn't a server??) I know there is a valid connection between the two computers because I login to the server using remote access..
Also, I have enabled TCP in the SQL server configuration program..
I wonder is there any beginnger guides on how to get the whole show up and running??

How To Connect The Client To Server On A LAN?
Sep 12, 2007Another newbie question...
I've got SQL Server Express installed on a server. Now I need to provide a method for the clients to know where the server is.
When using Access, I launched a dialog and the user navigated to the mdb file on the server. It worked fine.
It seems using SQL Server I just need them to select a computer to connect to. Or can it happen silently?

Unable To Connect To SQL Server On Client With Wi
Nov 27, 2007Hi,
I have a Visual C# WinForms app which I am accessing a SQL Server 2005 database with. On the Server, I have allowed remote connections (TCP and named pipes) and enable SQL Browser as per instructions on MSDN. The app works fine on the development machine.
Server name is <machine name>SQLEXPRESS, connecting with Windows Authentication.
Server log states that it is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 3153].
Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on [ \.pipeMSSQL$SQLEXPRESSsqlquery ].
On the client (local network), when trying to open the database I get this error still:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Also on the client, I can go into the ODBC Data Source Administation, and connect to the SQL Server Database that way successfully.
What further steps can I take to allow the client to access the SQL Server?

2000 DTS Packages Corrupted By 2005 Client Tools?
Jan 12, 2006Hi,
I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc.
I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product. The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server.
So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.
I have recently had to make changes to a 2000 DTS package and used my 2000 enterprise manager to do so. No Problem- saved and tested fine on my workstation.
But when I try and release it to another server, or open the package using enterprise manager from another machine that does not have sql 2005 installed - I get an error message 'Unspecified error'. This I've seen before when trying to open packages created in v2000 , using v7 or where the service packs are different between machines.
Digging around my workstation and comparing some of the DLLs I know to be required to distribute DTS packages (from RDIST.txt) it seems that some of the SQL 2000 dll files have been updated by my 2005 installation.
E.g
DTSFFILE.DLL on my machine is 2000.85.1054.0 whilst on any 'clean' 2000 machine is at version v2000.80.760.0
Surely it cant be right that SQL 2005 has newer versions of components for SQL 2000 than is available with the latest SP for the actual product! Especially considering that the installation of 2005 does not even allow you to edit 2000 DTS packages through the management studio without a 'special' download' of the feature pack,(whihc by the way does not work very well either)
So am I to conclude that you can not run side by side installations of SQL 2000 and 2005 on a single machine and expect 2000 to run as it did previously
