How To Patch A 2005 Cluster?
Dec 12, 2007According 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
Latest Version Of Sql Server 2005 Sp2
Nov 7, 2007I have sql server 2005 - version 9.00.3054.00 -SP2 - Enterprise Edition. Is there any latest version than this to upgrade. I am having lot of troubles on the server these days. Whenever Analysis server cube is processed, the server is going really slow and before the cube process analysis service is stopping. I don't understand what the problem is? Analysis services is getting stopped whenever a cube is processed and server performance is getting really slower.
Please let me know how to trouble shoot this.
Thanks in advance.
SQL Express 2005 Connection String Vs SQL Server (latest)
Oct 28, 2007I'm a student at Boise State university and we're using SQL Express as part of one of our projects for ASP.NET programming. I liked it and I'm trying to use it to power a wiki that I'll be hosting from my home internet connection. The wiki is compatible with MSSQL server, but it won't connect to SQL Express.
I suspect that the problem is in the connection string, mainly because the apps we're developing for class use a connection string like:
<add name="AspNetForumConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=gaming.forum.nxnw;User ID=*********;Password=*********;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
and note the Data Source. The wiki I'm using is PHP based and uses ADObd to connect databases and has a driver for MSSQL, but not SQL Express (no surprise, really). I know just enough php to be dangerous to code and I've tried modifying the adodb-mssql.inc.php, but I can't seem to make the right change.
So, all that said, my question is: Is there a way to change what SQL Express 2005 will accept as a connection string? I've been looking, but I'm not even sure what the setting would be called.
Thanks,
Les
Date/Time Of Latest SQL Server 2005 Instance Restart
Jan 28, 2008
Is the Date/Time of the latest SQL Server 2005 instance restart stored somewhere in the system catalog?
This value is quite relevant when retrieving information on the costliest unused indexes in the instance.
I know of one way of doing this, which is to search the SQL Logs for this info.
This solution is very unwieldy - we recycle the logs daily and we only keep the logs of the last 7 days.
Determing SQL Server Patch Level
May 12, 2008Sort 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?

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!

??'s About Security Patch
Dec 28, 2001I 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!!

Do I Need To Reinstall Or Patch Something??
Apr 17, 2007Hi,
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

SQL Server Mobile - Latest Version?
Jun 1, 2006Hi,
I've had troubles in the past with this bug - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=158671&SiteID=1 - where 'join's with 'order by' did not work correctly. So is there a new version where I don't need a workaround and if yes, where is this version available? The latest version I know of is 3.0.5214.0, but in the meanwhile SQL Server 2005 SP1 had been released so I did remember that there is this open bug in SQL Server Mobile.

Security Patch/Service Pack Questions
Sep 17, 2007<!--[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?

Echo File Copied.
Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"
It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get

Getting The Latest Data From Different Fields In One SQL - SQL Server 2000
Aug 9, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to write some SQL which will give me the following result from the table below..
Currently I can do each of the PRICEx fields in a seperate query then join the results together. I do this by getting the MAX(Date) WHERE PRICEx IS NOT NULL then using that date to get PRICEx, and then repeat until I've done all the PRICE fields.
This is acceptable for a small selection, but for a large selection this can get quite slow. I was just wondering if there is there a way to do this in one single SQL without having to join the table to itself 3 times (for all 3 PRICE fields)
Source Table:
ProductID
MarketID
Date
PRICE1
PRICE2
PRICE3

1/01/2006

MS03-031 Security Patch Indexed View Bugs...
Jan 22, 2004Hey!
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?
