I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Because I got a number of errors I went back
to 6.5. Now I want to try again to upgrade to 7.0. How can I do that?
Do I have to uninstall 7.0 and reinstall?
If I uninstall 7.0 will that blow away 6.5?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a database which has two db_owner (dbo and a user).
The user has left the organization a while ago.
Can I remove him or do I need to replace him?
What will happen if I remove him?
Do I need to keep dbo there also?
I would like to dynamically copy a table in Transact SQL, like this:
SELECT * into NEW_TABLE from MY_TABLE where 1 = 2
This creates an empty NEW_TABLE as desired. However, NEW_TABLE retains the column nullability of MY_TABLE; I would like NEW_TABLE to have all its columns nullable.
I tried to write Transact SQL logic to update the isnullable column in syscolumns for NEW_TABLE, but was told that the entire SQL Server would have to be reconfigured to allow this.
Does anyone know of another way to do this?
I've got a service that waits for a file to drop and then calls a ssis package that then gets a date from the first line of the file, sets it to a variable, then imports the rest of the file using the flat file import through a data flow task.
Occasionally the script task fails with this error message:
The script threw an exception: Access to the path 'C:pathflatfile.txt' is denied.
Here is the code of my script:
Public Sub Main() ' ' Add your code here ' Dim vars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForRead("User::FullFilePath", vars) Dim filepath As String = vars("FullFilePath").Value.ToString() vars.Unlock() Dim file As File Dim reader As StreamReader reader = file.OpenText(filepath) Dim line As String line = reader.ReadLine() reader.Close() 'MsgBox(line.Substring(29)) Dim asofdate As String asofdate = line.Substring(29, 5) asofdate = asofdate + "20" + line.Substring(34) 'MsgBox(asofdate) Dim writeVars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("User::AsOfDate", writeVars) writeVars(0).Value = asofdate 'MsgBox("done") writeVars.Unlock() Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub
Does anyone see anything that I'm not. I believe i'm closing all necessary resources and streams. Does anyone have suggestions.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi folks. Thanks for the opportunity to get a bit of help here.
I've got two tables. Say, table "foo" and table "bar".
I LEFT JOIN them on a key, say, foo.id and bar.fooid.
For some reason, when I do this join, I get only records from "foo" which have a mate in "bar".
What I really need is all records from "foo", but the columns from bar when there is a match. I don't want to exclude records from "foo" just because they don't have a match from "bar".
Am I just misusing LEFT JOIN?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, everyone!
I have this strange problem... After every time my application leaves sql-server idle (doesn't send anything, doesn't retrieve anything) next command to sql-server processes really long.
I've also noticed this bug/feature/misconfiguration even if I open a DB in Management Studio...
Please, could someone tell me, is there any timer that "puts a DB to sleep" if no one is using it for some time? Can I change the way server behaves in this situation?
Hello,
I need some space on my machine. I have SQL 7 on it, and I want to completely remove it from my system. I have done the following:
1. Used the SQL Uninstall to uninstall
2. Removed MSSQL7 folder using win explorer
3. MSSQL folder in (HKEY_LOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTMSSQL7)
4. Rebooted the machine
Yet I see traces of SQL7 on my machine! When I tried to reinstall, it told me that there was a license already on the machine.
What do I need to do to completely wipe it out?

Is there any way to uninstall SQL sp4 or sp5 after they have been installed on SQL Server 6.5 sp3/NT 4.0 sp3?

I mistakenly installed SQL express using remote desktop, now I cannot do anything in it. Nobody could help with that either but based on posts with the same message, I tried uninstalling sql server. It wouldn't uninstall nor can I repair or reinstall. Uninstalling thru Add or Remove Programs only resulted in the program listing being removed from Add or Remove Programs. Most of the sql server programs are still installed. They can be run but continue to malfunction. When I try a new installation, I get a message that the programs are already installed. How can I correct this without reinstalling Win XP? Please help. Your valuable feedback is greatly appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Somehow, ignorantly, I managed to install SQL 7 SP2 on a computer that didn't have SQL 7 yet, only 6.5. Don't ask me how it allowed this,
but it did. In any case, now I have a problem. When I try to install SQL 7, it tells me I can't install an older version than what already exists,
and that I should uninstall it first. Well, I looked in the Control Panel, but there's no entry there to uninstall. I deleted all the SQL 7.0 keys I could
find in the registry, and still it refuses to install. Can anyone tell me just what the heck I have to delete in order to get SQL 7 to install on this
machine?
Thanks!

hello
sql 7.0 was previously installed alongside sql 6.5 in the same directory. i now need to uninstall 6.5. microsoft cautions the following -
Caution If you are installing Microsoft® SQL Server™ version 7.0 alongside SQL Server 6.x on the same computer, do not install SQL Server 7.0 in the same directory as SQL Server 6.x.
will there be a problem if i try to use the standard uninstall utility for 6.5? what is the work around for this? please advise.
While trying to 'tidy up' I ran into this error when trying to ininstall an SQL 7.0 beta: 'Unable to locate the installation log file C:MSSQL7Uninst.isu Uninstall will not continue'.
Search confirms that such a file is not present. I would reinstall (with the final product) then try Uninstall again, but disk space prohibits this.
Ideas to get around this?
Running version 6.5 on Windows 2000 and I am unable to find an obvious uninstall utility from the start menu or installation cd...can someone please inform me of how to do this?? Thanks!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had replication installed between my two SQL servers with no problems until I changed the Primary Key attribute on one of the replicating tables. After that one change, I continued to receive errors for one week about failed replication (due to this one table!). I tried removing Replication so that I could "reinstall" it, but my Publicating server will not show the option to 'Install Publishing..' in the Server Tool. I followed the advice found on "SWYNK.com/ch17.asp" as it stated:
"Uninstalling Replication Completely
Carefully consider all options before you opt to remove replication entirely from the system. This operation shuts down all replication to all subscribing servers, and it does so in a somewhat brute force manner by removing the replication option from the server and deleting the distribution database.
There are three steps for uninstalling replication in SQL Server, as follows:
1)Discontinue all replication services, all publication and subscription services, between this system and other servers with which it is working.
2)Turn off the replication option at the server engine level.
3)Drop the distribution database. "
I still cannot get the option to Install Publishing again. In fact, I continue to get the option to "Uninstall Publishing.." in the Server tool. I stopped/started services dozens of times with no luck. Any help would be great !!!!

Hi,
I am wondering if I am going to encounter any problems when I uninstall SQL Server 2005 standard edition and install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I am asking this as I found out today that a project I am developing (have been working on this for a few weeks now) that we're to be using Express edition. I am just hoping that I'm not going to come across any problems by doing this?

Hello
I have been following this document to uninstall SQL 2005 for a virtual server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967 and when following this step:
start /wait msiexec /x GUID /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log for the SQL Server 2005 GUID I get the following error:
'This installer package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it'.
There also is not a sql_uninstall.log file on the server.
All other components have uninstalled successfully using Add/Remove Programmes apart from the database engine which gets the below error:
'The set up has encountered an unexpected error while setting internal properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.'
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I have a strange problem here. How to uninstall SQLEXPRESS when it does not appear in the "Add/remove program"?
Another problem is that I can't connect to the local server using SQL Server Enterprise manager. This is the error that i got:
"a connection could not be established to (My Computer name)SQLEXPRESS.
Reason: [SQL-DMO]you must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server.
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties (by right-clicking on the DHH-MCSQLEXPRESS node) and try again. "
I do not want to use SQL 2005 because of some issues. All I need is SQL 2000 to run properly.
Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.
I have a copy of SQL 2000 installed locally on my notebook. I would like to remove it and install 2005 however I get the following message: unInstallShield has edetected that 'c:program filesmicrosoft SQL Server oolsinnisqle.exe' is in use. I have not run the query analyzer in some time nor do I see this process running in task manager. I do have a copy of winsql on my machine from Synametric Technologies. Not sure what I need to do to successfully remove 2000 prior to installing 2005.

Under Programs and Features, there are two instances of SQL Server: "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" and "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition". I have no need for them, and would like to remove them. However, whenever I try to remove them, I get the error message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'SqlRun_Tools.msi' in the box below." Subsequently, I click on cancel, and I get the error message: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." In addition to this, there are many registry entries that begin with "Microsoft.SqlServer." under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. My OS is Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Any help is appreciated. THanks.

Hi,
i am uninstalling sql7 server.
i stopped all the services and i disabled all sql server services in control panel. When i am executing sql uninstalled it is giving
c:mssql7innsqlmangr.exe is running.
So, i stopped all the services in server manager( for the particular server).
But it is showing green. Why it is not stopping. Is this because of network.
I didn't register any other servers for this server.
So, pls tell me where i am going wrong.
I am sure , i stopped all the services.
thank u
