I have installed sql server 2005 and moved all the databases & everything from sql server 2000 to 2005. I used backup & recovery method..Everything is working fine.
Sql server 2000 was in installed with default instance & sql server 2005 in the named instance.
Now I have to uninstall sql server 2000 & make sql server 2005 a default instance.
Is there a way to change to named instace to default instance?
We have created replication from one production server to another backup server by using SQL scripts. These scripts have been generated by SQL Server after manual initial setup. When I ran these scripts they did not add the subscription for the backup server because a stored procedure were missing named something like sp_addsubscription. Therefore I ran the script on the production server and created the subscription manually on the backup server. But I made an error, I created a push subscription first but I should have created a pull subscription. Now I can't delete the push subscription. I don't even get a error message. I can't press delete and when right clicking on it I can only choose Help. The subscription has the following properties:
Type: push Status: retrying Last action: The process could not connect to distributor 'PSERV' Replication type: Snapshot
Anyone know how I can delete this push subscription on my backup server?
I tried to remove AdventureWorksDB in the "Add or Remove Programs" of Contol Panel and I got the following errors: (1) AdventureWorksDB Error 1326: Error getting file security: CProgram FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL1MSSQLGetLastError: 5. |OK| and (2) Add or Remove Programs Fatal Error during installation (after I clicked the |OK| button). Please help and tell me how I can solve this problem.
I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
We have some to-disk backups scheduled on our 2000 Enterprise machine - nightly fulls, hourly logs - that go to a network share located on another machine. They were originally stored directly on the same machine as SQL Server, but we changed them to a remote destination within the past few weeks. This works okay, but despite having the maintenance plan set to remove files older than 2 days, old files don't seem to be removed. Understandably, this gets to be a problem when the backup disk becomes filled.
Is there any obvious reason why this option wouldn't work against a network share? I've checked the directory permissions, and the SQL Agent domain account should have no trouble deleting the files.
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?

I have created a phone list and am using a union to be able to display letter category. However, what I would like to do is only show the letter category if their is an employee with the corresponding last name.
For example, if someone does not have a last name starting with "Z", then "Z" should not show up on my report.
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Dept, Phone UNION ALL
SELECT v.letter,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL FROM (VALUES('A'),('B'),('C'),('D'),('E'),('F'),('G'),('H'),('I'),('J'),('K'),('L'),('M'),('N'),('O'),('P'),('Q'),('R'),('S'),('T'),('U'),('V'),('W'),('X'),('Y'),('Z')) AS v(letter) ORDER BY vchLastName, vchFirstName
I need help for completely removing sql server 2005 from my computer. I have tried unintalling it through Add/Remove programs,but when i try to reinstall it this message appears : "Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online." I think that there is something that is not completely removed from the first installation.
I was working on some software that required SQL Server Database so I inserted the SQL cd and installed a new instance turns out all I need to do is create a new database under the current instance. How do I remove this obsolete instance. I already disabled the service but I'd like to remove it from the Ent. Mgr as well.
'Banquets - All Day' as revName, SUM(t.c_items_total) AS Banquet_Total, SUM(t.cover_count) as Total_Covers, -- (t.c_items_total) / (t.cover_count) as AvgPer_Cover--
[Code] ....
The output needs to be grouped by the t.c_items_total...I just need the avg per cover (person) / items_total.
When I save my output (from a query I ran) to a text file, there seems to be rows of spaces. Is there a way i can just kill off any spaces at the end of my query? Like rtrim or something?
I am working with a bunch of records that have duplicates on the Persid and the intPercentID where there are duplicates I want to remove when I stick them in the temp table, I tried join on tempo table and doing not exists but still inserts, so now I am trying a merge but same thing. how can I keep duplicates from being inserted in the temp table. I made a cursor as well but its slow as heck, but it does work. trying better ways.
Create table #TempStr (STRId int not null Identity(1,1) primary key, Persid int, percentId int, dtCreated datetime, CreatedBy int)
INSERT #TempStr (Persid, percentId, dtCreated, CreatedBy) select intPersonnelID, intPercentID, dtSubmitted, intSubmittedBy from tblSTR whereintpercentId in (61,62) group by intPercentID, intPersonnelID, dtSubmitted, intSubmittedBy UNION ALL
I cannot use, remove, or reinstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Although Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files appear in ControlPanel-ARP, when I attempt to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the workstation component remains. If I try to download and reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Express from the Microsoft website, the download does not install completely as described below.
My current situation is much better than the previous incompatibility or configuration problems I had been experiencing between Microsoft Office Small Buisness Accounting 2006, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Outlook Business Contact Manager, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (express edition installed in conjunction with Visual Basic 2005 express), and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (installed in conjunction with Small Business Accounting 2006). The problems and error messages previously included: 1) A consistent bootup error (Net service configuration error...The specified service does not exist as an installed service); 2) The inability of Visual Basic to connect to an instance of SQL server (An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server...); 3) a SQL server configuration manager error: Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL server configuration manager. Invalid namespace [0x8004100e]; and 4) SQL server management studio express error: Cannot connect to <computername>SQLEXPRESS... 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1).
These problems have been partially solved by: 1) completely removing Small Business Accounting 2006, Outlook Business Contact Manager Update, and MSDE (which appear to be codependent); and 2) removing and reinstalling Visual Basic 2005. However SQL Server still cannot be completely removed or reinstalled and therefore Visual Basic cannot connect to SQL datafiles.
When I most recently tried to remove SQL server 2005 using ARP, the installer reported that only the workstation component remains (Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06), but is not removed by the ARP process. When I most recently tried to install SQL server 2005, the Setup Support Files install correctly, the System Configuration Check passes, but setup fails for MSXML6, SQL Server Database Services, and WorkStation components Books Online (detail log SQLSetup0068 file). According to Add/Remove programs, the following applications are installed:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition ENU Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Various MSXML versions
Any help in un/reinstalling or configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for use with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition would be dearly appreciated. Thanks.
Within the LinkingID, there are duplicates in ID1 and ID2 but just in opposite columns. I have been trying to figure out a way to remove these set based. It doesn't matter which duplicate is removed. Essentially these are just endpoints and I don't care which side they are on. The solution must recognize the duplicates and not just remove based on every 2nd row.
I am creating a report query that returns all unreconciled P/O lines. I am near completion but I am unable to find a way to remove the reconciled records.
I have included a script to produce some sample table, data & query.
The recordset dispalys 6 rows. All reconciled Supplier Invoices are duplicated and have transaction codes 40, 50 and reconcile code of 9 (5024, 921689471).
All unreconciled only appear once and have transaction codes 40 and reconcile code of 0 (4835 & 921978016). These are the only records that I want to show.
I am having trouble installing SQL Server 2005 Express. I was told to uninstall and reinstall clean but now SQL Server does NOT show in the Add/Remove Program list but when I try to install, my system says I already have SQL Server installed. I get error messages every time. Any ideas???
