Hi all, I have a database that is duplicated on 4 different SQL Server 2000 servers. I created a database diagram in one of those identical databases using EM, and thought I would like to copy it across to the other 3 databases. I can't find any way to do that though.
Any ideas? I can right-click and copy the diagram in the source server/database, but can't "paste" into the second server/database's Diagrams directory.
I know the diagram is created from the objects in the dabase, but mine required some customization and it would be really cool if someone has a silver bullet I could borrow to make the diagrams in the other DB's match up to the formatted one.
Just got a new workstation and installed Enterprise Manager. Is there an easy way to migrate the registered servers from the old workstation to the new one.
I have about 30 servers defined under 6 groups. It would certainly be a lot easier if there was a file I could drag from one workstation to another.
I was wondering if there is a way to move ODBC connections between SQL servers? We are replacing our current server with newer hardware, and I have pretty much everything figured out except this.
I have user that we just migrated his Access database to SQLServer. All went well with the migration, but then he came up withanother requirement to be able to replicate the database to a localSQL server living on the hard drive of a laptop. Before the migrationhe just copied the entire Access databse to the lap top.I tried using the Copy SQL Server Objects Task to move thenecessary tables from the production server to the laptop, but noticedit doesn't copy over the table Indexes/keys identiy fields etc. Iended up backing up the production database and restoring it to thelaptop database, but wondered if there is any way to move the tables,with their properties from one server to another? I know I can setup the backup process to run as scheduled, but the problem is the dataneeds to be moved on an irregular time table. I thought about justwriting code on the remaining Access front end to empty the localtables and then query the data from the production side to reloadthem, but I'm sure there's an easier way.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,Tom
I have a set of packages that use an Indirect Configuration to a XML config that gives each package a connection string to the Configuration database. The configuration database has all the connection strings for every connection I use.
I just moved my dbs to a new server. I updated the XML config file to point to the new server and updated the connections in the configuration table. I am having two problems. When I open packages in BIDS, I am receiving errors because the connection strings embedded in the packages were pointing to the old server. I updated the Data Sources in the solution and that didn't fix it. Why is it not using the configurations?
Also, on the production box (64bit), I am having the same problem. It is not reading in the connections from the new SQL configuration table. All my connections that are producing errors are OLEDB for SQL.
I'm having some issues restoring a backup of database that uses native encryption onto another server. I know there are a couple of articles on this but I seem to be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Current Server Windows 2000 Destination Server Windows 2003
The original key setup for the current server was achieved by something like this:
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY HR01 WITH algorithm=DES encryption BY password = 'HRpassword'
Running the command select * from sys.symmetric_keys on the current server I get the following:
name principal_id symmetric_key_id key_length key_algorithm algorithm_desc create_date modify_date key_guid
HR01 1 256 56 D DES 2006-11-22 16:36:01.883 2006-11-22 16:36:01.883 BBD80500-338F-47D7-B336-85D46E00F2F0 So I restored the database onto the new server and ran this script:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Password'; ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY; GO
I don't have a master key... so I go back to the original server and ran this script and did another backup:
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Password' OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Password'; ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY;
Running select * from sys.symmetric_keys on the current server now looks like this:
name principal_id symmetric_key_id key_length key_algorithm algorithm_desc create_date modify_date key_guid
We have succesfully moved SQL server to a new machine and this same machine will also be running IIS 5.1 to host our intranet. We will be doing the actual developing on other machines and publishing the site to the new machine. Now, when I went to test the site, it all comes up just fine, but logging in is a problem. What do I need to do to configure the new SQL server to accept new members, logins, etc. Oh, and actually membership is still on the "old" SQL. When I tried to login, I get this:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. Thanks for the information.
Is there any easy way to move users between SQL Servers for a particular database? We have tests and development servers I would like to make sure the user lists are in sync for that db.
Greetings all,This should be an easy task, and Im sure it is, but as many times as I havetried, I cant seem to get this to work properly.We changed ISPs recently from a shared host to a co-located server, and ourformer host was nice enough to send us a backup of our old SQL2000 database(about 5MB).I went into Enterprise Manager, created an empty database with the same nameand used the Restore Backup tool successfully. I took a look at the db andsaw all the Tables and data intact.Next I wanted to re-create the DSN to match the old one so that I wouldnthave to fiddle with any of the old connection strings in my asp pages.Thats where the fun began. The old DSN was created by our host via an emailrequest and I never got a look at the actual creation process of that DSN.I created one on our colo server with the same name, but it would only passthe connection tests when I used the Windows User Authentication rather thanSQL Server Authentication. No big deal I figured, and just went ahead andset it up using the same DSN name.Next I tried the main.asp page to test the DSN and lo and behold I got theODBC connection errors. I tinkered with the connection strings a bit andmanaged to get a wide variety of connection errors and fine-tuned to thepoint that it said "Unable to login with user 'SERVER169/nacog'". At thispoint, I went into Enterprise manager and added 'nacog' to the User list andthe connection string no longer produced errors. (By the way, my connectionstring simply contains "DSN=YAVAPAICONNECT;")My next step was to actually execute a SELECT statement which produced thefollowing error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e09'[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SELECT permission denied onobject 'ADMINS', database 'YAVAPAICONNECT', owner 'dbo'./nacog/admin/main.asp, line 189Why was I not surprised?I went back to Enterpise Manager, saw the all the tables had 'dbo' as theowner, and tried to give 'nacog' all the permissions at the table level, butthe error persists.To preserve my sanity I stopped there, because I spun my wheels for hoursand days the last time this happened. and my eye has not stopped twitchingsince ;)I am quite sure that this has something to do with one or all of thefollowing:1) The way SQL2K was installed (it was installed by someone else)2) My creation of the db with the windows login, rather than SQL auth, priorto import3) My creation and handling of the DSNMy background is mainly in ASP programming, and I understand bits and piecesof this puzzle, but for the life of me I cannot piece this thing together.Can anyone help point me in the right direction or suggest a good tutorial?I would be very thankful to anyone who could help put me on the right track.Best Regards,Ben M.
We are planning to move all of our System Center Databases that reside on front end servers to each system center application to a centrally located SQL 2012 server. We'd like to centralize everything and have our DBA care for the server. here is our setup:
SCOM has 1 monitoring and 1 Data warehouse server. SCCM has 1 server with all roles on it. DPM database is on the same server as Application. Same with SCVMM. I have 2 questions regarding this move:
1. Can I have all these databases running on 1 SQL instance?
2. Is there a best practice document that highlights steps and "gotchyas"
I trying to get the moving total (juts as moving average). It always sum up the current record plus previous two records as well and grouped by EmpId.For example, attaching a image of excel calculation.
I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!
I am trying to create a new db diagram. I selected my db -->right-click on Diagrams--> New database diagram -->Select some of the existing tables in the wizard-->finish and....
I don't see anything else but an empty screen
When I tried to edit an existing database diagram, by right-clicking on it -->Add existing table and selecting a new table from the list, I got an error message: "Co Initialize has not been called."
Could you help me on this one, please? ;-) Thank you, Anastasia
can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server. 2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers. 3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are: ------------------------------ TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054) ------------------------------ And ------------------------------ The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed. Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB". OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

Is there a way to use an Oracle linked server to create a database diagram? Or do I have to bring the whole Oracle db into SQL7 and then create the diagram?
Subject says it all; how do I copy diagrams from one SQL2K database to another? (This is coming up because I'm converting collation sequences by DTSing data from DB1 to DB2, where DB1 was copied from SQL7 and DB2 was created with the collation I want. It gets tables and views, but not Diagrams and Stored Procedures. )
In our organization, we are using SQL Server 2005 Management studio as the client interface to access all our enterprise Databases.Most of the databases are built on SQL 2005 DB Server. However, We have one of the Database built on SQL Server 2000, which also has Database diagrams in it. Though We are able to view all the DB objects through SQL 2005 managment studio interface, but unable to view the diagrams. I understand that, the binary data of the diagrams are stored in "dtproperties" table on SQL 2000 but in SQL 2005, it is stored in "sysobjects"(not sure) table and both are entirely different.
Following are my questions. 1.Since the DB is still on SQL 2000,How can we view the diagram objects thru the SQL 2005 Enterprise manager.
2.For the migration process of SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, How can i migrate the database diagrams.
Hi All I am using SQL server 2000 and I would like to create Database diagrams but It doesn't give me any option to crate one. It only shows "Working with SQL Server 2000 diagrams" and "Refresh" with no "create new diagram" and in other servers it but its only in my desktop that doesn't and I have full access
I'm using SQL Server 2000 and yesterday I seem to have lost mydiagrams. Not the diagram icons themselves, but the data diagrams yousee when you double click the icon.I tried reinstallling Enterprise manager, unregistereing andregistering the database without success.Any help appreciated.Thanks,Tom
I upsized an access backend to sql 2005. In the process, the relationships were lost. When I go to the database in Sql, right click on database diagrams, all I get is refresh and a link to go to learn about database diagrams. How can I recreate the diagrams?
I am trying to follow this walkthrough<br><br>http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233763(VS.80).aspx<br>And getting nowhere as it says I need to set up database diagrams which I cannot due to not being in db_owner role, or not being valid db user etc etc.I cannot find out how to set this up for the database I created so far in t his tutorial.I have searched and searched and got nowhere.I then went into SSMSE by chance and found a load of roles but none named db_owner. I then tried to add my database file but SSMSE wont let me drill down into the required folderI weep!!!!Please can anyone help?
When I start SQL Server Management Studio from my development PC and connect to a remote SQL-server, I do NOT see any Diagrams. When I use Remote Desktop and connect to the server, and the open SQL, I see the diagrams. Is there a way to get the diagrams to work on my local machine?
I hope i'm in the right forum. Is there a way to create a DB diagram schema via ASP/HTML and publish it on-line - keeping it up-to-date? I want to at least output a diagram schema to HTML format? Any ideas. TIA!
Hi all, I am trying to make DATABASE DIAGRAMs....I have restored a database called Tel from a backup file...n in that i have all the tables and procedures..now whenever i m clicking on its DATABASE DIAGRAMS it gives me the error as:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------
Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
------------------------------ so,what should i do??any suggestion will be helpful for me...thnks in advance... regards..
