Sql05-exp: What Exactly Is Installed To Client Computers On The Network
Oct 5, 2006
I'm sure this is rediculously simple, but I am totally new to sql. We are upgrading our practice management software to an edition which requires sql to be installed on our Win2003 file DC server and 18 client computers, all running xp-sp2. New software comes with an option to automatically install MSDE but I would like to try sql05 express instead, which they support if it is pre-installed on the server and all workstations. We meet all necessary sql05-exp requirements. After spending several hours online and downloading 05 books online, etc I beleive I understand how to set up the file server where the data resides, but I am now confused about what exactly I am to install on the client computers. Clients have .net 2.0 installed. I see no option to download specific "Client" software, just sql05 server express edition sp1, management studio express, and express edition toolkit sp1. Are you supposed to just run the server ed sp1 on each workstation, enable tcp/ip, and tell it to connect to the server's sql database, and if so, doesn't that leave a sql 'server' running on each workstation? Other documentation mentions installing the toolkit and connecting to the server, but I've found nothing which explains this simple procedure everyone must do, so I know I'm missing the obvious. Please help and Thanks.

Hi All,
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Thanks!

I'm running XP w/ SP2 and I tried to install just the client tools (management solution) from a SQL 05 Standard Edition. Don't have any kind of SQL sever or client tools installed (like older version or express). The install goes really quickly and installs successfully. When I try to go to Start - All Programs - SQL Server nothing shows up? It seems that nothing was installed. What am I doing wrong. Any ideas? All I'm trying to do is to connect to a SQL2005 server from a workstation with the new Management tool (the new version of Enterprise Manager). Thanks!

if we installed ssis on the same server much later than the engine itself, could it have been installed successfully at an earlier service pack than the engine? I did a select @@version on the engine and got
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 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)
I cant see a way from the client to get a service pack on ssis itself. I'd like to be sure about a suggestion from one of your contributors before approaching our technical guys about their failure to install sp 2 of something.

I'm getting errors in EM when trying to connect to one of my registered servers. When the Client Network utility is using TCP/IP as the default protocol I get:
A connection could not be established to xxxxx - General network error. Check your network
documentation. ConnectionOpen (connect())...
But if I switch to use Named Pipes I connect just fine.
This worked just fine up until last week.. We're going through Tokenring to Ethernet conversions.. Is this a bigger network issue?
Thanks..

Hi,
I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc.
I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product. The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server.
So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.
I have recently had to make changes to a 2000 DTS package and used my 2000 enterprise manager to do so. No Problem- saved and tested fine on my workstation.
But when I try and release it to another server, or open the package using enterprise manager from another machine that does not have sql 2005 installed - I get an error message 'Unspecified error'. This I've seen before when trying to open packages created in v2000 , using v7 or where the service packs are different between machines.
Digging around my workstation and comparing some of the DLLs I know to be required to distribute DTS packages (from RDIST.txt) it seems that some of the SQL 2000 dll files have been updated by my 2005 installation.
E.g
DTSFFILE.DLL on my machine is 2000.85.1054.0 whilst on any 'clean' 2000 machine is at version v2000.80.760.0
Surely it cant be right that SQL 2005 has newer versions of components for SQL 2000 than is available with the latest SP for the actual product! Especially considering that the installation of 2005 does not even allow you to edit 2000 DTS packages through the management studio without a 'special' download' of the feature pack,(whihc by the way does not work very well either)
So am I to conclude that you can not run side by side installations of SQL 2000 and 2005 on a single machine and expect 2000 to run as it did previously !!!

2 Questions:
1) I am getting back into SQL more than before, in my new job. I need to find the service pack installed on the clients who have the Client Network Utility installed. I do not remember how to do this.
2) Running 'Select @@VERSION' on the server returns 7.00.1063 but does not indicate the service pack. Does this still mean sp4 has been installed?
I'm trying to ensure we'll all up to date since our dual 700 procs are acting eratic...jumps between 10 - 95% or so.
Server info:
NT Server SP6
SQL 7.0
2GB Ram
2 procs @ 700Mhz
Roughly 80 network connections.
No other programs running on server except Antivirus.
Thank you!

Does anyone know how that I can get the reportbuilder.application to run on a client on the network. It seems that if I have to remote into the actual server to get the report builder to work would be pointless for users on the network. I get the 401 Unauthorized all the time. Any comments would help.

I have a question regarding the nature of virtual sql servers, specificially what protocol is used to communicate to the server when a request is made by a client.
For example, if a scheduled job is run on the virtual sql server, what determines the protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipes etc.) by SQL Server agent? Is it the client network alias set up on the virtual server?
I am asking because currently the client aliases on some of our virtual sql servers are using named pipes and I think this is causing a problem with our backups.
Thanks,
Adrian.

I am new to SQL server 2005
Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.

I'm developing with Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, my problem is that as default SQL Server Express uses windows authentication.
Since I develop in my own PC and install the software in another PC, my SQL Server Database is useless cause it still tries to log in wih my computer name and windows user. I'm using a conventional intallation project in which I include all the files (fonts, project output) that the computer should have, and I also included the .mdf file for the Database to work.
I tried using SQL Server Management Studio CTP to help me create a user for my Database, but the users I create with it are useless, I can't even create a login, I always have to use windows authentication.
I really need to change that because if I don't I won't be able to distribute the aplication I'm working in right now.

I'm trying to help a client export some data from SQL 2005 to an Accessdatabase or even an Excel file. Either way I get an error like this:- Setting Destination Connection (Error)MessagesError 0xc0204016: DTS.Pipeline: The "output column "press_release_body"(1500)" has a length that is not valid. The length must be between 0and 4000.(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204016(Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)The ultimate goal is to be able to export this and import it into a SQL2000 server, this client does not have SQL 2005, but the db they havehosted is on a 2005 server. It is in compatibility mode 80 btw in theoptions. Thanks!

Have written a dll that has a number of mthds to create, start, stop, list, etc... a filesystemwatcher.
The dll attaches to sql fine.
The dll creates it's own eventlog scope (which does showup in the event log browser dialog). So I do know it is being instantiated...
can start a watcher, can list all watchers running...in listing them i call directly down into a hidden class that houses the FileSysWat object. The listing queries some properties of the FileSysWatcher object directly so I can see if it is truely running or not (aka: EnableRaisingEvents property, path property, subdirs property, etc...)
The dll is currently configured to write to the event log, AND fire a stored procedure in ea. callback...This is not working!!! Am never getting the EventLog Record nor the SP to fire...not exceptions being thrown...NOTHING!!!!
When I open a filemgr window and go into the directory being monitored, perhaps I'll rename a file, the FileSysWatcher isn't firing the registered callback (aka: fsw.Created += new System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler(somemthdhere))
The property EnableRaisingEvents is true.
Perhaps something unusual about being inside of the SqlServer.exe process I'm unaware of!?
any ideas or help would be great!!! Tried lots of different code config's...but callback's are not being called!!!
Again...I've wired up all avail callbacks: Created, Renamed, Deleted, Error. Nothing is Firing!!!
Am not setting any NotifyFilter bits (flags) as the ctor default(s) are fine for my needs...

Hi, I was handed an old application written for sql05, it has this (kind of) statement:
Dim CommandText As String = "SELECT c.name FROM db1 c LEFT JOIN "
CommandText += "db2.dbo.Users u ON u.iKey = c.key "
CommandText += "WHERE u.cUserName = '" & User & "'"
As you can see, there are two databases, db1 and db2 and this worked fine in sql05, but when I convert each of the databases to sqlexpress, I get this error: Invalid object name 'db2.dbo.Users'.
So how can I make this work in sqlexpress? Are queries across databases not allowed?
Thanks so much for your help!
