We are in the process of upgrading to sql 2005. For us its a big jump but right now I need to know how to specify the port I want to connect on the server. We use ntwdblib, dblogin, dbopen...where and how do I specify the port, since we now have multiply instances on the single server and the default port is not what I need to connect too.
Thanks
Hi,I'm trying to setup replication using SQL 2000 as the publisher and SQL 2005 as the subscriber.The problem I have is that the SQL 2000 instance is running on a non standard port 1083, so the name of the instance I'm connecting to is: TESTPC1SQL2000,1083SQL 2005 requires you to provide the "requires the actual server name" which would be "TESTPC1SQL2000" which unfortunately will not work as it's on a different port.The error message I'm getting when attempting to setup the subscription on SQL 2005 Management Studio is this:TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------Cannot connect to TESTPC1SQL2000,1083.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'TESTPC1SQL2000'. (Replication.Utilities)Does anyone know a workaround to this?Thanks,Andy

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501 Error descrition: FATAL: Could not find component 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Task.MessageQueueTask.ServCompMQTask' we just installed."
I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.

Hello,
I have a vb program that include a dts package that has been saved to vb with sql2000 dts wizard and works very good.
Now that I upgrade my website to sql2005, this vb dts package doesn't work.
The error I get is:
Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
(Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package (80040066): Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
) (Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) (80004005): [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near ')'.)
I searched in the internet how to make dts package in sql2005 and save it to vb and found no information about it.
What Can I do to get the vb code of the dts package I create in sql2005 or how do i migrage the sql2000 vb dts package code to sql2005?
Thanks,

Hi,
How do I determine what the next "id" will be in a collumn where the Identity Specification is turned on with Identity Increment?
I have two tables, the one contains product information and the other is a photo album. When I create a new product, then I automatically create an associated photo album. It all works fine, but I have found some problems after using this setup for a while to manage products.
For example, say I have created 10 products (id's 1 to 10) , and then I decide to remove the last 5 products from the list. The next time I add a new product, it will be product number 6, but the id will be 11 (seeing that the id's will always be unique). How do I determine what the next Identity value will be seeing that the actual last id might not be the last one that was allocated?
RegardsJan
I am not very clear about the use of 'identity specification properties'. There does not seem to be a great use of identity increments and seeds, it seems something that saves manual work, but to a very little extent

Hello,
I have a web application (ISAPI) that accesses a SQL Server 2000 (sp3) database in the same machine as the Web Server (IIS 6). Windows 2003 Standard Edition is the operating System. So, when users access the aplication through the web it runs ok until display the error message "Invalid authorization specification" or, sometimes, another message about failure to inform ODBC DSN, although I dont use ODBC.
When the error occurs, the user press F5 in the browser and the operation goes ok. It's an intermitent and curious error.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a question about Computed Column Specification which you can specify as a formula for each column inside a table.
I have now columns named Age and Class.
Classes are "Kids" (ID #1) , "Junior" (ID #2) and "Senior" (ID #3)
Kids, which is for age of 6 till 12
Junior, which is for 12 till 16
Senior, 16 and above.
I have already searched for hours (I really did) on the internet for a solution, but ended with more questions because of the complicated solutions.
Now the Age is shown as a result of a formule of DOB (Date of Birth column), now I want the exact same thing, but the age must specify which Class the user is in.
Example, when I add a user with the birthdate 25/03/1988 (DD/MM/YYYY) he/she gets 24 as age.
With this formula : (datediff(year,[age],getdate()))
Now I want that the user gets "Senior" as Class (same table).
Senior is ID 3 in this case.
Now I do know how Case, When and Then works, but the validation fails. After reading some forums I understood that I should use a create function method. I am not really experienced with creating functions. Also the coding looks more different as I am used to. How to link the Computed Column to a created formula.

The above link says the pros and cons of two SQL Server 2005 editions.
Document says Compact Edition is not good for €˜When you need a multi-user database server
€™.
What is the meaning of multi-user database?
Does this means the database strictly will not support two database connections at a time?

Hi,
We are testing our product on Windows Vista with SQL Server 2005 SP2 and are encountering an "invalid authorization specification". We make the connection through a Windows service using a standard ADO connection. I have tried changing the provider in the connection string to SQLNCLI without any success. The application is written in Delphi 5 and has worked on previous versions of Windows running SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

what happens when a column marked as Identity Specification reaches the limit? for example, I have some code tables using tinyints as keys, the actual number of entries will be 20 or so but there is some volatility, so eventually the 255 limit will be reached, what happens then?
the same thing applies to ints or bigints used as keys, eventually the database must run out of numbers
information will be appreciated

Dear All,
I am using the backend SQLServer with Powerbuilder, I write a stored procedure and tried to create a datawindow to use that procedure but failed, it returns error code 22005 -Invalid Character value for cast specification. I tried to change any setting in ODBC but still failed.
Is anyone can give help? Thanks in advance.
Terrence.
Hi All,
accessing through ODBC a frond end application which is running on MS SQL Server 2005, works just fine with a specific setup as concerned as the decimal/thousands separators ("," for thousands and "." for decimals). If i switch these settings alternatively ("." for thousands and "," for decimals), i get this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification.
I tried to search forum and internet but no luck.
Thanks in advance

the destination column is datetime.
Is this a known issue / bug? Because this doesn't happen everytime, and when it does happen all i have to do ia run the job again.

I'm using FTS on on two columns (VARCHAR) of my database. The data is exported from a MySQL database to SQL Server. When populating the database the default language was set to English (or maybe neutral?), although 90% of the records are in Dutch. Now, when I change the FTS language specification to Dutch problems occur when querying the database. When I enter typical Dutch noise words in my query like "van" or "van der" the query does not return any results. When I set it back to Neutral the queries do return results, although a drawback is that I can't query for example plural forms of words. Could this be because, when populating the database, the correct language was not set? If so, is there a way to get the Full Text Index working with Dutch in a correct manner?
Thanks in advance for your replies! Would be great to get this working in Dutch!

I've been trying to connect to my local SQL Server instance (SQL Server 2005) using the SQLNCLI interface from c++ without success. I consistently receive an 'Invalid authorization specification' error (SQL state 28000 and SQL error number 0) when I call IDBInitialize::Initialize to connect to the database. I was hoping someone here could shed some light on this and help me out.
The strange thing is that I get no error if I leave the user blank (L"" in vValue.bstrVal) and try to connect. Also, IDBProperties::SetProperties returns 0 when the user is blank but 40eda when the user is set. This seems to be a message from the pipeline facility but I haven't found the description of the code (0xeda).
The user in the database is configured with no password and I can successfully connect to the server and open the database using that user through Management Studio.
I've also tried using the SQLOLEDB provider with the same results.
Suspecting that I'm setting the properties wrong I include a code snippet below showing how I'm setting the properties:
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(dbprop) / sizeof(dbprop[0]); i++)
VariantInit(&dbprop[ i ].vValue);
// Server name
dbprop[0].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE;
dbprop[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[0].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"localhost");
dbprop[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
// Database
dbprop[1].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_CATALOG;
dbprop[1].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[1].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"test");
dbprop[1].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[1].colid = DB_NULLID;
// Username
dbprop[2].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_AUTH_INTEGRATED;
dbprop[2].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[2].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"jph");
dbprop[2].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[2].colid = DB_NULLID;
