Multiprotocol Replication Through A Firewall
Mar 4, 2000OK, here's the situation. I have set up my two server to use MultiProtocol as their net-lib and locked it down to use only port 1433 instead of "port hopping". I have set up my firewall to allow the traffic on port 1433 between the 2 machines and I added a hosts entry at each machine for the partner machine. With this set up I can do everything that I need to and have not found any limitations until now.
THE PROBLEM: I publish a db (on either machine) and enable immediate updating subscriptions. I then push this db to the other machine. Everything works fine and updates on the publishing db are replicated to the subscribing databases without any problems. However, when I try to do an update on the subscribing database I get an error that "transaction error, ODBC driver [SQLOLEDB] does not support distributed transactions..." No matter which machine I configure as the publisher or the subscriber this error always occurs when trying to update the subscriber. Also, as soon as I disable the firewall the error goes away and updates go back and forth like normal. I've double checked and all packets go through the firewall on port 1433 and none are refused. Not sure where to go from here and any help would be appreciated....
THANKS,

SQL7 Replication Thru Firewall
Dec 23, 2000Hi,
Need to set up replication between a server in our corporate network and another outside our network. Both are NT 4 servers running SQL7 and I am instructed to configure merge replication on both ends. My questions are: Is it possible to achieve this by running tcpip(read somewhere that I would need to run MPR to load the net libraries) and configuring the firewall to allow tcp/ip on the ports we are running SQL on between the two servers?
Please help as this is very urgent.

Simplest Way To Connect To Mssql Db
Jan 22, 2007I'm an absolute beginner in asp/asp.net. You have been warned.
I managed to run and compile asp.net using win xp home edition, via Visual Web builder 2005 express edition. I managed to use its tools to create a test database and table and put values in it.
Now I wish to connect to this db using my aspx page. While fiddling around I finally able to drag the "table" icon on the database pane into my aspx page and it generate a code snippet below:
<div> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" EmptyDataText="There are no data records to display."> <Columns> <asp:BoundField DataField="US_ID" HeaderText="User id" SortExpression="US_ID" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="US_NAME" HeaderText="USer Name" SortExpression="US_NAME" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:nepConnectionString1 %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:nepConnectionString1.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [US_ID], [US_NAME] FROM [USER]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> </div>
When previewed in the browser, it seems to show the content of the db table.
What I want to know is a sample coding on how to connect to the db the usual way (initialise the connection string, prepare and execute the query, fetch the content of resultset). Based on the code snippets above (it contains the info about the db name, table name and the column name I'm using), can anyone guide me by providing the lines of codes that retrieve the data?
Basically the first thing I would like to do is fetching the data to be compared with user name and password submission after they click on login, among other basic stuff, which doesn't require bells and whistles like <gridviews> and other contraptions provided.
And another thing, would the connection string or other parameters be any different from my computer if I were to upload my aspx page including the mssql db file into my webhosting to be tested live?
Thanks for anyone out there willing to provide some hand-holding here!
Simplest Method For SQL Insert
Jun 13, 2007I have spent the afternoon researching this, and to no avail so here's my question.
I have a user input form with upwards of 60 fields that are to be filled in by the user (intranet environment). I want to post those values as a new record in an SQL database. I have setup an SQLDataAdapter tied to a parameterized stored procedure on the SQL server. I can successfully post data from the controls on the form when I set the parameter type to Control based.
Here's the problem, though. I need to do some pre-processing on most of the values in the controls on the form. I have setup VB code (that executes when the user clicks the "Submit" button), that pulls in each control value, performs any necessary processing, and sets a variable to the value I actually want stored in the DB. How can I assign THAT value (from the variable) to the parameter for the stored procedure?
Thanks,
Dave

Simplest Way To Get Column Names
Mar 10, 2008i need to retrieve column names in a rowset, let me explain a bit;
i can simply retrieve a column name by using IColumnsInfo::GetColumsInfo, but the problem is when i use "AS" keyword in the select statement such like;
SELECT identification AS id FROM test_table_a
i see alias name of that column instead the internal column name.
as you can guess the qestion is; how can i get both alias and internal name at the same time and of course what is the *usual* way to get it.
thanks in advance

Simplest Way To Get A Query Result Into A Variable
May 25, 2004Hello,
I am interested in what the simplest was to get a query result that will only ever have one result (ie One column, one row) into a variable. An ugly way is to use a cursor that simply fetches the first row but that seems to be a horrible way to do it and it has sometimes major drawbacks sometimes (mainly if I have to dynamically choose the table). Surely there is a better way?
What do you think? A simple example would be nice.
Cheers

Simplest Form For Data Entry
Nov 20, 2007I am researching ideas for the best way to have users enter data into SQL.
I am familiar with VB and Access Forms and HTML coding but what I am looking for is a way to have a standalone app or website where users can enter information but I want the form to have branches that change depending on user input (such as selecting a meeting type then having specific questions open up related to it).
Any ideas on the best way to do this?
If a different forum would be better for this request please advise and I will move appropriately.
Respectfully,
Lewis
Simplest Transfer SQL Server Objects Task Failure
Feb 17, 2007I'm perplexed and in need of a sanity check ...
Instance of SQL2K5-SP1 on Server2003R2. Created two databases Test1 and Test2, create single 2-column table (tblTest)in Test1 with one row of data. Create SSIS package to transfer the table and its data to database Test2 using "Transfer Objects Task". Fails with error code 1073548784.
I have tested for security issues and don't beleive these to be the cause: I have monster privelidges and can successfully use SSIS packages to execute CREATE TABLE etc.
Have also tried most combinations of Task options (eg COPY ALL OBjects etc etc)
Have tried this on three different servers: same results.
This simple test is the result of distilling down problems I'm having with SSIS manipulating some 60G within some 300 tables, so I'd really like to use the power this task promises!
My head is getting a little sore from scratching - any advice gratefully received.
Thanks

If i need to change the port settings in SQL, is that just the Client neetwork utility I should change or should i run the setup.

Connecting To SQL DB Through A Firewall
Dec 1, 2004Hi there!
I'm a bit new to all this, so please bear with me! :)
I've got a webserver in our DMZ and I'm trying to create an ODBC connection from that server to a db server within our firewall. When I try and connect, the following message appears:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 10060
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen (Connect()),
Connection failed:
SQL State: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what's going on, as we have an application on the webserver that connects to another SQL DB server within our firewall with no problem!
webserver:
OS - win2000 standard server sp4
db server:
OS - WinNT 4.0
SQL - 7.0
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!!

Can't Use SQL Server With Firewall
Jul 20, 2005My ISP recently had me reset my TCP/IP stack. After that, Norton PersonalFirewall prompted me twice that SQL Server was trying to access theInternet. Both times I responded to allow it to and to always use thataction. Now I am not able to use SQL Server with NPF enabled. If I disableNPF, SQL Server works fine.I am using the desktop edition of SQL Server 7, on a standalone PC, notconnected to a server. I have been using SQL Server and NPF together forover a year. Now, since my TCP/IP stack was reset, NPF interferes with SQLServer.Anyone have any experience with this?Thanks,Neil

Everything is working correctly until I try to connect to a FTP in DMZ.

Data Connection Behind Firewall
Apr 17, 2007Hello,
I am trying to connect a web app to a SQL 2005 that is behind a firewall.
The challenge is this, the SQL is behind a firewall and the webserver is at a different location. From my desktop development environment, I connect through a VPN first and then can point to the internal IP of the DB server. This works fine as long as the VPN is connected.
But how do I do this from a hosted web application that is not on my local machine or using my VPN?
Is there some sort of tunneling Connection that I can use within code?
thanks
ZoneAlarm Pro(firewall) Causes SQL Problems
Nov 6, 2004When I changed to software Firewall, I got lots of problems running asp.net and Dnn.
Unfortunatly zonelabs does not support me, cause ZA pro don't "officially" support servers. But speaking to their support, and via email, I am told several of their customers run ZA pro under winXP, with IIS and SQL running.(ZA pro 5.1.033.000)
Unfortunatly I have not been able to get them to read my thead on Zonelabs support forum.
I bought ZA pro after talking on with a salesrep, and was told IIS and SQL is a breeze to config, and if I run into problems their forum or support would help me. Yeah right. So at the time beeing I am stucked.
I first started out installing, and making the most obvious changes, and got everthing working I thought. But when trying to log into a dnn project in my root, nothing happend.
So, I knew the firewall didn't play along. Then I gave SQL server rights, 4 green checkmarks in config. Now I could log in. But installing new modules was still a problem. I tried to add "formcreator for dnn" by Snow to a tab. But I got a msg saying a critical error accourd. "SQL server doed not excist or access denied". This is what I have done so far:
1. In Privacy Settings Cookie Control, Ad Blocking and Mobile Code Control are all set to Off
2. Added localhost: Clicked Firewall >> Zones >> Add >> Host/Site name OR IP Address: 127.0.0.1
3. Made sure IIS, and SQL Server have full access: Click Program Control >> Programs.
So as you see, the firewall is still not allowing the application (dnn application) to connect to the SQL server. Surely their must be a way to fix this?
Anyone that has managed to get ZAP to work correct along with IIS and SQL?

Asp.net Application Connect To SQL Through A Firewall
May 7, 2002Hi guys.
We have an external webserver(server1 on domain1) is a DMZ, and sql server7(server2 on domain2) inside the firewall.
Domain1 trusts domain2 but domain2 does not trust domain1.
Our firewall hosting by outside vendor and they told me they already opened up the port 1433 for server2.
I put a small asp.net application on server1(this application works fine in intranet. 2000 server,iis5,virtue directory, and .net frameword were well installed and configured), and I got S'QL server does not exist or login fail error'.
Any idea about that? And how to test the port was opened?
Any input appreciated.....
Connecting To SQL Server Outside Firewall
Jan 6, 2000I am trying to connect to SQL Server 7.0 from a web server. The web server is outside our firewall, SQL Server is inside the firewall. I want to use a multiprotocol connection so I can encrypt it. We have port 1433 open on our firewall for TCP/IP from SQL Server. When I connect with just TCP/IP it works. When I switch to multiprotocol it fails with error code 1701. I can connect to the SQL Server box from inside the firewall using multiprotocol.
My theory is that when you use multiprotocol you are using another port than 1433. Is this the answer?
Connecting To SQL Server Through Firewall
Aug 3, 2004I have a simple asp page that queries a database inside our firewall. It works fine from the inside, and only uses port 1433. But if i put it out on our web server it won't connect and tries to use ports 139 and 445. Has anybody ran across this before?
Thanks,

SQL Server Sercurity Outside The Firewall ...
Jul 20, 2005Hello,We use Informix and MySQL on linux/unix to drive our web application.SQL*Server is used only for backend enterprise applications within thefirewall. I am trying to get the management to use SQL*Server outside thefirewall. They tell me there are security issues with Microsoft products,including SQL*Server, that make it vulnerable to attacks outside thefirewall. Can someone please point me to white papers/documentation thatsuggests how SQL*Server can be used securely outside the firewall? I thinkif I put SQL*server on it's own box and open it up only to the applicationson our web servers, we should be secure. However, I need hard evidence.Thanks.- Rajesh

Jan 29, 2001I'm trying to adminster a remote MS SQL server from inside my company's firewall. I have the correct permissions to pass traffic through the firewall, but I need to authenticate to it first.

Is there any way I can pass the firewall ID and password during the server registration process, and then pass the SQL server ID and password? I'm no SQL server expert by any means, but it doesn't look like it's possible. Are there any third party utilities that may accomplish this?

Connecting To A Names Instance Through A Firewall.
Mar 12, 2007Hi
I am really struggling with this problem.
I am connecting to several SQL 2000 servers on another LAN from my workstation and I have to go through a firewall.
I got the firewall people to open port 1433 and was then able to connect any server with a default instance using Query Anlyzer and the IP address of the Server.
When I try to connect from my workstation to a server with a named instance I am being blocked by the firewall before it gets to the server.
I went into Client Network Utility on my workstation and removed named pipes which only left Tcpip using port 1433.
Fire wall is now blocking “nbname UDP 137”.
Is there a setting somewhere on my workstation that I can force the traffic to the named instance to use Tcpip through port 1433.
Any Help would be great.
SQL 2012 :: SSIS Catalog FTP And Firewall
Oct 3, 2014I am running a package in the catalog. The package contains a c# script that uses FTP webrequest. It runs fine in SSDT. Trying to execute from the catalog the ftp list directory is timing out.
This seems to be a firewall issue. We have tried adding an exception for dtexec, but that did not . I am thinking another program runs the package, maybe ISServer.exe?
Any program that would need the firewall exception to run the package in the catalog?
SQL 2012 :: SSIS Firewall Port
Aug 5, 2015We have SSIS packages deployed and scheduled on SQL_Server_A. The packages have to access databases on SQL_Server_B, which is behind a firewall.
Question: would opening only SQL port between these two servers be enough or some other ports have to be open as well? (The packages only select and bring data back to Server_A or transfer data from Server_A to the databases and do inserts. Nothing else.)
Firewall Port Forwarding To SQL Server
Apr 25, 2008Hi,
Is there any concerns or problems with forward a port to SQL server
from our internet firewall so that you can access the databases over the internet? Is it a standard practice to do this in order to remotely access the SQL server. Or is there a better way to do this? Also, if it is ok to do this are any things you need to do to enhance your security from vulnerabilities being open to the internet.
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated on this subject.
Thanks
Remote SqlExpress Connection And Firewall
Apr 12, 2008I am running SqlExpress on a Vista machine as a server and accessing it from machines running XP. I could not connect with the Vista server until I turned off the firewall, despite creating exceptions for both the sqlexpress and sqlbrowser services in the firewall setup. Obviously, I don't want to run on a wireless network without a firewall for any length of time. What else to I need to enable in order to run with my firewall up? In SMSS, I could 'see' the Vista server on the network with the firewall up, but I could not 'see' the SERVERSQLEXPRESS service or connect to it .

When Windows Firewall Is ON, SQL Server Does Not Get Connected Thru TCP
Jul 27, 2006I am using SQL Server 2005 Express + SP1 on a Windows Small Business Server(SBS) box. The SBS is connected to a client thru LAN.
Following are what I gave as IP address and DNS on the server:
IP: 192.168.16.2, subnet mask : 255.255.255.0, Preferred DNS server: 192.168.16.2, Default gateway and Alternate DNS Server blank
On the client, I have,
IP: 192.168.16.4, subnet mask : 255.255.255.0, Preferred DNS server, Default gateway and Alternate DNS Server blank
I can ping and connect to either of the machines.
If I do a sqlcmd -S "tcp:servernameINSTANCE,port", I get the following error message:
HResult 0x80090304, Level 16, State 1
SQL Network Interfaces: The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Cannot generate SSPI context
If I do a sqlcmd -S "tcp:192.168.16.2INSTANCE,port", it connects to SQL Server.
I have the Windows Firewall ON. If I Off the firewall, I do not have any problem at all.
I included File and Printer Sharing, sqlsvr.exe in the Exception list of the Windows Firewall.
Any help to solve the issue is appreciated.
Thanks.
