Opening Up Odbc Data Source In The Query Query Inside Of The Server Manager
Jun 15, 2007
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

If this was the wrong forum to post this on, please move this question to the correct one. I need this answer soon.
I have created this query in SQL Server 2005 which uses an MS SQL Server data source - I've tested it and it perfroms as it should:
SELECT DISTINCT WIP.R0 AS [Job No], WIP_R23.R0 AS [Pack No], PlanningM2.R1 AS [Part No], WIP.R17 AS FKF, WIP2.R17 AS FKF2, SUBSTRING(PlanningM2.R0, 1, 3) AS Ref, PlanningM2.R5 AS Qty, LTRIM(RTRIM(WIP_R23.R23)) AS Shortages, LEN(PlanningM2.R1) AS StrLen, Stock.R2 AS [Stock Qty], WIP.R10 AS Status, WIP2.R10 AS [Pack Status], WIP.R15 AS [Qty UC] FROM C001_UNIDATA_WIP_NF AS WIP INNER JOIN C001_UNIDATA_PLANNINGM_NF AS PlanningM ON WIP.R0 = PlanningM.ASSY INNER JOIN C001_UNIDATA_PLANNINGM_NF AS PlanningM2 ON PlanningM.R1 = PlanningM2.ASSY INNER JOIN C001_UNIDATA_WIP_R23 AS WIP_R23 ON PlanningM.R1 = WIP_R23.R0 INNER JOIN C001_UNIDATA_WIP_NF AS WIP2 ON WIP_R23.R0 = WIP2.R0 INNER JOIN C001_UNIDATA_STOCK_NF AS Stock ON PlanningM2.R1 = Stock.R0 WHERE (WIP_R23.R23 IS NULL) AND (WIP.R0 LIKE N'%' + @RP1 + N'%') OR (WIP.R0 LIKE N'%' + @RP1 + N'%') AND (PlanningM2.R1 = RIGHT(LTRIM(RTRIM(WIP_R23.R23)), LEN(PlanningM2.R1))) ORDER BY [Job No], [Pack No]
I am now trying to recreate this query using ODBC and am having one helluva problem with it as it doesn't seem to like many of the functions I've used, such as LTRIM, RTRIM, LEN, RIGHT and won't accept the parameter I've included, or any other parameter come to think of it.
Has anyone else had a similar problem at all, and could you direct me to a solution if you have?
Once again I got stuck with a weird problem and I´m dependent on you.
I built a Data Flow task in which I did an OLE-DB Source Adapter with a SQL-Query as Source.
The Query goes on a Linked Server which connects to a Informix Table via ODBC. When I enter the Query and klick "OK" or try to go on the "Columns"-Tab, the BIDS freezes completely and the "Delay Notification Message" appears in the System Tray. When I check the Activity Monitor of my SQL Server, there´s a process marked as "Runnable" (green) which contains the Query
"select collationname(0x0904D00034)"
This one is oviously run by Visual Studio and doesen´t execute properly. I waited for an hour or so, but nothing changes. I´m running SQL Server 2005 SP2 (9.00.3042)
I am testing an application that uses mysql that works 100% fine with Microsoft Windows XP on Windows Vista Premium Home Edition.
Using Vista's ODBC Data Source Administrator I have set up and successfuly tested the DSN Connection to the Database.
However, when I call the set up DSN with the application I get [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I am using the mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32.
I have tried editing the registry DSN files - the problem still persists.
In order to add a data source by using ODBC Administrator, programmatically i am using SQLConfigDataSource. Thus calling SQLConfigDataSource with the fOption set to either ODBC_ADD_DSN for creating a new DSN.
Following is the stattement specified in the source code. where type_of_driver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"; and parameters contains the data source source credentials information such as DSN, UID, PSW, FIL, Description, DataDirectory,DEFAULTDIR and DBQ all separated by " ".
after execution of below mentioned command an error is encountered i.e -1 is returned if the DataDirectory path exceeds certain nested directories link. for eg. the file path specified below.
C:My DocumentsClients CurrentAHW Netcare BenefitsDeliverables1-5 Results Chain - system LevelAlberta NetcareBenefits Logic System Level V01.rcm
Creating a datasource with the file name i.e Benefits Logic System Level V01 every time. rc = :: SQLConnect(hDbc, (unsigned char *)szSource, SQL_NTS, (unsigned char *)szUserName, SQL_NTS, (unsigned char *)szPassword, SQL_NTS);
Also following error message was encountered during execution of SQLConnect command.
/*szErrorMsg = 0x0012e834 "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Not enough information to connect to this DSN with SQLConnect. Use SQLDriverConnect."*/
Thus followed the instruction smentioned in the error message an dtried using SQL DriverConnect() in the following manner. rc = :: SQLDriverConnect(hDbc, NULL,(SQLCHAR *)"DSN=RCM",SQL_NTS,outstr, sizeof(outstr), &outstrlen,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
Still an error is encountered but this time it returns a RETCODE of 100 whrease earlier it had returned -1.
Inform the procedure to be followed using SQLConnect when DataDirectory path is too long.
trying to install sql server2005 on a windows 2003 server box.
getting msg below at the sql server . i looked at other posts on trying to uninstall SQL Native Access Client and norton antivirus. i could never find the snac on the add - remove programs and this server does not have a virus protection program yet.
here's the history of the installs on the server:
wanted to test a 2005 upgrade so:
1) installed sql server 2000 then sp4 then restored some databases to it - all OK
2) tried to upgrade to sql 2005 but ran into problems and left it at that.
had a disk drive crash on the d drive so lost the installs but not the operating system
when the drive was replaced, left alone for a while
then wanted to test a straight 2005 install
1) removed the broken 2005 attempt
2) removed the 2000
3) installed 2005 and got the error on the subject line:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
i've gone through as many of the forums that i can and have tried several things - like uninstalling 2005 and installing pieces and parts but but nothing seems to work.
i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below. [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and I am having difficulties setting up an ODBC User Data Source to connect to the SQL server. I have tried going through "Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)" to add a user data source. For the SQL Server to connect to, I have tried specifying "localhostSQLEXPRESS", "SQLEXPRESS", "(local)", etc. -- but nothing seems to work. When the DSN configuration wizard tries to connect to the SQL Server to obtain default settings, it fails with the error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied". (Same error occurs if I try connecting to this ODBC data source later.) But I know that the SQL Server exists and I have been using it through the SQL Server data provider in another application. I am new to this, so any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kumar
We have more than 10 databases on the same server. When I try to set up ODBC connection through my desktop to a specific database (DB1) using SQL authentication, it acts weird:
-- I give the login (testkz) access to DB1, DB1 does not show up in the default database list; I tried to type in the database name, it is not taken
-- If I give 'testkz' access to two other databases (and only these two), even though I did not give access to DB1, DB1 together with some other databases show up on the default database list. Seems to me that there are some dependency among the dbs.
I am trying to import tables from an ODBC data source into an SQL Server 2005 database. I presume that one way to achieve this is to create an Integration Services package, via Business Intelligence Studio (I already used DTS in SQL Server 2000, but not Integration Services) ?
Or is there a simpler way ? For instance, is there an import wizard that woult include an ODBC Data source ?
Hi,I used sp_addlinkedserver to link to a remote server through ODBC.When I execute select count(*) from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader in SQL QueryAnalyzer. It returns 13705 records. But when I execute select * fromLinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader. It only return 885 records. If I specify somecolumns, select ODCOMP, ODPONO, ODVDCD from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader.It returns more records, 1213 records.I guess there is something limit the return storage, but I can notfind it.Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you
ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1 FROM testsupplierSCNCR I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
Here's my situation:I have an ODBC DSN setup for Timberline Data (An accounting packagethat uses pervasive.sql) on my sql box. I set up a linked server usingthe supplied timberline odbc driver. I have two sql instances setup,the default instance and a named instance. On the default instance,the linked server works great no matter who is logged in using it (allauthentication is NT integrated). However on the named instance onlythe NT account that the MSSqlserver$NAMED service is logged in undercan utilize the linked server. All others get a ODBC error:"error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. AccessDenied. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL'IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied.]."Far as i can tell, both instances are setup the same, except that oneis the default and one is a named instance.Why the different results for the default instance vs a named instance.Any ideas?Thanks
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
Okay, so I have a problem and I would be REALLY grateful for anyassistance anyone can offer because I have found little or no help onthe web anywhere.I want to access and do joins between tables in two different SQL db'son the same server. Heres what Im dealing with.In one database resides all of my security features for our clients,where it decides who can login, etc etc....In another database, I need to cross reference with a few fields in mysecurity db.See the issue Im running into here is that because the way the peoplehave their databases set up for different products, I would normallyhave to put these tables with security features in every database...which is horrible, because every time I do an update I would have todo it in 12 different places. Thats not efficient at all.So I thought if I had one central DB, where all security features arecontrolled from, that would be perfect... now the issue is crossreferencing and doing joins with other tables that ARENT in the samedb....have I lost you yet?I appreciate all of your help!THANKS!!
I am using the below sql to query the data from mas90 soa file data source - other(ODBC data source) I am doing this in a sql dts package to import the data from mas90 files to sql database tables. I am getting error as: [providex][odbc driver]expected lexical element not found: From select city, LAST_ACT_DATE where LAST_ACT_DATE = '2007-04-14'
I tried different date formats but nothing worked. Please help. Thanks.
Hi, Please help me in this problem... i am new to sql server.. i am using sql server version 8...(doesnot support function with retun values..) so i have created a procedure... -----------procedure------------------(to find next monday after 6 months)------------------- [code] create proc next_Monday ( @myDate DATETIME ) as BEGIN set @myDate = dateadd(mm, 6, @myDate) while datepart(dw,@myDate) <> 2 begin set @myDate = dateadd(dd, 1, @myDate) end select @myDate end go [/code] -------------------------------------------------------- i can able to execute this procedure separately.... working well... but don't know how to call it inside another query.... the following throws error.... select smaster.sname, smaster.Datex, 'xxx'=(execute next_monday smaster.Datex) from smaster please help me... how to fix this problem...
Just wonder whether is there any indicator or system parameters that can indicate whether stored procedure A is executed inside query analyzer or executed inside application itself so that if execution is done inside query analyzer then i can block it from being executed/retrieve sensitive data from it?
What i'm want to do is to block someone executing stored procedure using query analyzer and retrieve its sensitive results. Stored procedure A has been granted execution for public user but inside application, it will prompt access denied message if particular user has no rights to use system although knew public user name and password. Because there is second layer of user validation inside system application.
However inside query analyzer, there is no way control execution of stored procedure A it as user knew the public user name and password.
Looking forward for replies from expert here. Thanks in advance.
Note: Hope my explaination here clearly describe my current problems.
Please help figure out what is wrong with my code. The script is supposed to load a package (from file). The loaded package already has everything set up to run a query against a local server and output the results to an Excel file. The reason for the outer script is because I need to change the query based on a global variable. When the query changes, though, I think the existing dataflow Path is no longer valid, so I should remove it and re-create another one with the new input mappings. Here is my code, which runs and throws an exception at the AcquireConnections call.
The error is
Error: 0x2 at Script Task: The script threw an exception: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020801B
I pieced together this code from the examples in the online books, but I am not sure what to do.

Hi, have configured an ODBC linked server for an Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA6.0) database. I have to write a function (not a procedure) that receives a number (@Code) and returns 1 if it was found on a table in the linked server, or 0 if not. Looks very simple... One problem, is that the queries on a linked-server must be made through the OPENQUERY statement, which doesen't support dynamic parameters. I've solved this making the whole query a string, and executing it, something like this:
SET @SQL='SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA, ''SELECT code FROM countries WHERE code=' + @Code + ''')' EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
(CAT_ASA is the linked-server's name)
Then, i would use @@ROWCOUNT to determine if the code exists or not. But before this, a problem appears: sp_executesql is not allowed within a function (only extended procedures are allowed). Does somebody know how to make what i want?? I prefer to avoid using temporary tables. Thanks!
Hi to all,I just need to get two fields from a table and manipulate the resultsin next query of a procedure.I planned to code like what you seebelow,create procedure marks1as@ sql1 as varchar(50)@ sql1=select registerno ,subjectcode from mark;beginselect * from marksetting where registerno='@sql1.registerno' andsubjectcode='@sql1.subjectcode';endcan it be possible to get the results as shown in the code? elsepropose an alternative for this scenario.Thanks in Advance.
I have a DB with the folloing fields... ArticleID, ArticleTitle, PublishDate(DateTime Field), EndPublishDate(DateTime Field).... What I want to do is show in a list view only the articles where the date is on or after the PublishDate and before or on the EndPubishDate. I thought I could simply do something like this SELECT ArticleTitle, PublishDate, PublishEndDate, PublishedFROM UserArticlesWHERE (Published = @Published) AND (PublishDate >= @PublishDate) AND (PublishEndDate <= @PublishEndDate)
Well I can't... can someone explain how I can do this please... I understand the the PublishDate and EndPublsihDate need a variable... The info is in the DB I just don't know how to do what I need to.
I am trying to run queries against any of the user tables in my MS SQL 7.0 database. I get a message the Query Designer encountered a query error. We have tried rebooting the SQL Server and I am still getting these messages. Also, the SQL error logs look fine - all database maintenance are running successfully including the DBCCs which show no errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are to go into production in a few days.
Now with the above result, On every record I have to fire a query Select SUM(sale), SUM(scrap), SUM(Production) from tableB where ProdID= ["ProdID from above query"].How to write this query in a Stored Procedure so that I can get the required SUM columns for all the ProdID's from first query?
Hi, Quick question on how SSIS handles queries from Data Source in a Data Flow. I noticed that when I run a particular query from Query Analyzer it takes forever. But, when I run the same query in SSIS data source in a data flow. The query results are immediate.
The query plan is already cached in SQL.
Is this just something which I am seeing incorrect or is there some bit of optimization in there in SSIS. As per my understanding SSIS does not optimize the source query.
I am new to SQL Server. I have some basic questions.
I have installed SQL Server Developer Edition on a Windows XP Media center edition. The installation is successful. Now I am trying to create an ODBC, but I there are some options which I am not quite sure about.
e.g.
1. How SQL Server verify the authenticity of the login ID? A. Windows NT.... B. SQL Server....
Client Configuration: Server alias: ??? Named Pipes: What should be the values of [pipe name]?
or should i choose other options?....
And I when I use Query Analyzer to connect to Server, the authentication fails..
Can some one point me to the right direction, or if there's some documentation on this subject, that would be very much appreciated.
I'm trying to import tables from COBOL thru Relativity client. With SQL Server 2000, I used Other (ODBC Data Source) to do this. I cannot find a comparible data source in SQL Server 2005. What do I do?
I am new to SSIS packages and want to use an ODBC data source connected to an old Btrieve set of data files. I set up the ODBC DSN, and my SQL Server Data Connection, and can browse the tables in the Server Explorer. However with regards to my SSIS package, I'm not sure whether to use an OLE DB Source or Data Reader Source. I have futzed with both of them but haven't had any luck at seeing the tables. Can someone please give me some tips.
A data reader is using a connection manager to connect to an ODBC System DSN . A query in the SqlCommand property is provided. Data is being truncated in the only string column . The data type in data reader output-->external columns shows as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] Length 7.
The truncated output in a text file is the first 3 characters from left to right . Changing the column order has no effect.
A linked server was created in SQL Server Management Studio to test the ODBC System DSN using the following:
Data returned using "OPENQUERY" does not truncate the string column indicating that the ODBC Driver returns data as expected with sql 2005, but not with the Data Reader.
