Xp_sqlmaint Call Fails In Maintnenace Plan Job
Sep 26, 2002
On our SQL2000 installation on a Windows2000 machine, our sql maintenance jobs run for about a week and then begin to fail with the following error:
Server: Msg 22029, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
sqlmaint.exe failed.
The logs only indicate failure and the report file is not generated, nor is a maintenance plan history record generated.
When the call to xp_sqlmaint is failing I try it in Qeury Analyzer (QA) and it still fails. I can however still run the SQLMAINT.exe directly from a command prompt without error. It is just the calls to xp_sqlmaint that seem to be failing. If I simply restart SQL Server, the maintenance jobs run fine for a while again. Same success with the calls in QA to xp_sqlmaint. Any ideas on why this begins to fail? It is happening on 3 of 6 database servers running the same build.
Thanks, John.

I created a maintenance plan to back up a database. It fails and I get the follow error in the log file.
Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4064: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
What user is it referring to? What user does a Maintenance plan use to login as? SA on the server has full access to all databases. SA’s default database is master and I can read and write to it with the enterprise manager and query analyzer.
All replies appreciated

Hello,
On SQL 2005 with mixed authentication, I am simply trying to create a maintenance plan to backup one single database. When I get to the end of the wizard, the creation process fails with this message:
Create maintenance plan failed().
I installed SQL 2005 using my domain account and the services are running under my account credentials. I am a domain and local admin.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Chris

SQL server agent has to be executed form a user other than windows admin. A SSIS where an excel file is loaded into a SQL Server table has to be scheduled by a job.SSIS runs fine alone in the server but fails when called by agent job. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918760#appliesto article has this specific error described but in a 64 bit server this error cannot be rectified. Any ideas?

I created a user db integrity maintenance task. The created job runs once a week. It fails. How do you tell at what point is fails? The history log is not specific about where things go off the rails.
The job errors as follows -
Execution of job "User Integrity check subplan_1 failed. See history log for details
If I run the sql in a query window it goes right through - error free.

Hi everyone,
I am running SQL 2000 SP3. I have one maintenence plan that is backing up one database and that is working fine. I am trying to create another maintenence plan for another database but the job does not execute and it gives me errors. Both SQL server and the agent uses 'local system account' to run the service. I have tried changing this to a domain account to see if it fixes anything. Also on the jobs, the job owner is a domain account. Below are two erros I am getting when running the jobs.
Error1:
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 'D:SQL Backups....mybackupfile.bak' failed to create. Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Error2:
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [Database_Name] TO DISK = N'D:SQL Backups....mybackupfile.bak' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

W2k3SP2 running SQL2k5SP2 in mixed mode. Trying to run a daily maintenance plan with a domain admin service account [domainsqlsvc]. This account is having login failure when I try to run the maintenance job. Would like to figure out why this account cannot authenticate with SQL. I believe I have local login denied, but login as a svc and login as a batch job are both enabled in Domain Policy.
What am I missing?
TIA for your help!

I am having a problem trying to run a stored procedure
from a MS SQL Server version 6.5 server. The stored
procedure calls another stored procedure on a MS SQL
Server version 7.0 server.
The job task always fails with the error message...
"Login failed for user 'sa'. (Message 18456)".
I can run the stored procedure from the T-Query window
on the 6.5 server successfully but it will not run
as a job task.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

The database is SQL Server 2000. Recover Plan = 'Simple'. Maintenance Plan always fails when DBCC tries to put database in single-user mode so it can do the backup, if there is a user has a connection to it from EssBase. No queries running - just a connection. How can I get SQL Server to automatically kill the connections so it can do the backup?

Ever since upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SP2 build 3050 all my maintenance plans which begin with a Check Database Integrity Task are failing! If I remove the task from the plan they all execute properly. If I run the T-SQL equivalent manually it executes properly.
I upgraded the server to build 3054 and rebooted several times and Im still having no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help with this.

I am writing an ASP.NET intranet application on a Windows XP machine running IIS 5.1 which executes a MS SQL Server 2000 DTS package as part of the process. The application allows the user to select a UNC path of an input source (.txt) file to be procesed by the DTS pacakge and the UNC file path property is then set in the source object name of the DTS package tasks before executing the DTS package. Whenever I run the application using a file path that is on my development machine (the same machine that the web server is on) it works fine. When I select a source file path that is on a network share folder, the DTS package fails with the following error:Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: DataTransformationServicesEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 81Date: 2/14/2007Time: 12:58:06 PMUser: N/AComputer: PHILSDELL2Description:The execution of the following DTS Package failed: Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) PackageError Description:Package failed because Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_2' failed.Error code: 80040428Error Help File:sqldts80.hlpError Help Context ID:700Package Name: ATMRecon_ImportElanACHTxtPackage Description: (null)Package ID: {3A8CC31D-A81F-40B7-BE57-AEB3AA238088}Package Version: {B01420A7-ED22-49A7-B4C7-9FA1732394E3}Package Execution Lineage: {2A9D45E8-35F8-4F0A-8339-7E5E29DA08B7}Executed On: PHILSDELL2Executed By: webaccess23Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMExecution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:06 PMTotal Execution Time: 1.047 secondsPackage Steps execution information:Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1' succeededStep Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.047 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2' succeededStep Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.047 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset ProviderStep Error Description:Error opening datafile: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.Step Error code: 80004005Step Error Help File:DTSFFile.hlpStep Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:06 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 1 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_2' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset ProviderStep Error Description:Error opening datafile: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.Step Error code: 80004005Step Error Help File:DTSFFile.hlpStep Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.031 secondsProgress count in Step: 0 When I check the Security Event Log on the server on which the network share is located, I find the following set of messages repeated multiple times:Event Type: Failure AuditEvent Source: SecurityEvent Category: Account Logon Event ID: 680Date: 2/14/2007Time: 1:02:48 PMUser: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEMComputer: FS1ADescription:Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 Logon account: ASPNET Source Workstation: PHILSDELL2 Error Code: 0xC000006AEvent Type: Failure AuditEvent Source: SecurityEvent Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529Date: 2/14/2007Time: 1:02:48 PMUser: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEMComputer: FS1ADescription:Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: ASPNET Domain: PHILSDELL2 Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: PHILSDELL2 Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID: - Caller Process ID: - Transited Services: - Source Network Address: 10.120.4.61 Source Port: 0The problem appears to be that the DTS package is trying to access the input source file using the local ASPNET Id from PHILSDELL2 which does not have authority to the network share.

I have wracked my brain trying to determine where the ASPNET security context is coming from to no avail. Can someone shed some light on what security credentials the DTS package is using to access the source files and how to change them?

Our backups by default go to a network location, but I'd like to modify our maintenance plans to backup to an alternative location if the primary location isn't available. I've setup two Backup Database Tasks where the second one runs only if the first one Fails, and if the second one runs (on first one's failure) it then sends a notification to me so I know this occurred.
The Plan is running as expected, when I simulate a bad path in the first Backup Task the second one runs and the notification is sent, but the Job shows failure. I'd like to show the job as Successful when this occurs since I'm handling the issue and notification within the Plan, but I'm unable to find out how. I've set FailParentOnFailure to False on the Plan and I've changed the MaximumErrorCount to 2 with the assumption that this would work, but neither didn't.
Also I'm running into this in both SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.

We are seeing a regression bug with the Microsoft JDBC driver 1.2 CTP.
Using this driver, we don't seem to be able to call stored procedures which return a result set, if those stored procedures use temporary tables internally.
The 1.2 CTP driver fails to access such stored procedures in both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 databases.
The previous 1.1 driver, suceeds in both cases.
Here is a test case which demonstrates the problem (with IP addresses and logins omitted). The prDummy stored procedure being called is quite simple, and I've copied it below:
Code Snippet
public class MicrosoftJDBCDriverCallingStoredProceduresTest extends TestCase {
// CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[prDummy]
// AS
//
// CREATE TABLE #MyTempTable (
// someid BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
// userid BIGINT,
// )
//
// SELECT 1 as TEST2, 2 as TEST2
// GO
public void testStoredProcedureViaDirectJDBC() {
Connection conn = null;
String driverInfo = "<unknown>";
String dbInfo = "<unknown>";
try {
// Set up driver & DB login...
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1433";
Properties dbProps = new Properties();
dbProps.put("databaseName", "xxxxxx");
dbProps.put("user", "xxxxxx");
dbProps.put("password", "xxxxxx");
// Get a connection...
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, dbProps);
driverInfo = conn.getMetaData().getDriverName() + " v" + conn.getMetaData().getDriverVersion();
dbInfo = conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductName() + " v" + conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductVersion();
// Perform the test...
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{CALL prDummy()}");
cs.executeQuery();
// If the previous line executes okay, the test is passed...
System.out.println("Accessing "" + dbInfo + "" with driver "" + driverInfo + "" calls the stored procedure successfully.");
}
catch (Exception e) {
// Fail the unit test...
fail("Accessing "" + dbInfo + "" with driver "" + driverInfo + "" fails to call the stored procedure: " + e.getMessage());
}
finally {
// Close the connection...
try { if (conn != null) conn.close(); } catch (Exception ignore) { }
}
}
}
The output of this test under both drivers and accessing both databases is as follows:
Code Snippet
Accessing "Microsoft SQL Server v8.00.2039" with driver "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1.1501.101" calls the stored procedure successfully.
Accessing "Microsoft SQL Server v9.00.3042" with driver "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1.1501.101" calls the stored procedure successfully.
Accessing "Microsoft SQL Server v8.00.2039" with driver "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.2.2323.101" fails to call the stored procedure: The statement did not return a result set.

Using the MSSQL JDBC 1.2 driver (Oct 2007 release), we don't seem to be able to call stored procedures which internally uses app_name() function to fill into database tables .
This driver fails to access such stored procedures in both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 databases.
The previous 1.1 driver (2006), suceeds in both cases.
Here is a test case which demonstrates this problem.
create table ICS_ConsraintTest (PrimaryIdentifier varchar(64),
ServiceProvider varchar(64),
SecondaryID varchar(64),
SecondaryServiceProvider varchar(64),
Description varchar(64),
PanoramaObject varchar(64),
Operation int,
ScalingFactor int,
DisplayAs float,
FeedType int,
InputValue int,
OutputValue float,
salary float,
birthdate datetime,
CONSTRAINT SimpleTestConstraint CHECK((len(ltrim([PrimaryIdentifier])) > 0
and len(ltrim([ServiceProvider])) > 0
and len(ltrim([SecondaryID])) > 0
and len(ltrim([PanoramaObject])) > 0
and [salary] <> 0.0)))
Stored procedure id defined as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_ICS_TestWithConstraints1(@PrimaryIdentifier varchar(64),
@PrimaryServiceProvider varchar(64),
@ServiceProvider varchar(64),
@SecondaryID varchar(64),
@SecondaryServiceProvider varchar(64),
@Description varchar(64),
@PanoramaObject varchar(64),
@Operation int,
@ScalingFactor int,
@DisplayAs float,
@FeedType int,
@InputValue int,
@OutputValue float,
@salary float,
@birthdate datetime) AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN
/* Insert */
INSERT INTO ICS_ConsraintTest ( PrimaryIdentifier,
ServiceProvider,
SecondaryID,
SecondaryServiceProvider,
Description,
PanoramaObject,
Operation,
ScalingFactor,
DisplayAs,
FeedType,
InputValue,
OutputValue,
salary,
birthdate)
VALUES ( @PrimaryIdentifier,
@ServiceProvider,
app_name(),
@SecondaryServiceProvider,
@Description,
@PanoramaObject,
@Operation,
@ScalingFactor,
@DisplayAs,
@FeedType,
@InputValue,
@OutputValue,
@salary,
@birthdate)
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END
Check out the app_name() is passed as the SecondaryID which causes the failure.

I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.
When I run this package locally on the server the package being on the file system, the package executes perfectly. Now I upload the package to the msdb database and the run the package from there and the package still executes successfully.
Now I schedule the package to run as a SQL Server Agent job and the package fails and when the logging is enabled I see this in the log file;
OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1071611876,0x,The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

I am wondering why the AcquireConnection method call is failing when the package is scheduled? I am running the step as a SQL Agent Service Account and it is the Local System account that starts up the SQL Server Agent and Server and is an Administrator on the box.
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

line 1? Is that line one of the T-SQL statement? Because if that's the case then it's not because I copied and pasted the line in to a query and it executed without error.
Under SQL Agent there are no entries!
So what bloody log am I suppose to be checking?! This is very frustrating.
I then copied and pasted every sql statement in to a query and THEY all ran just fine.
What's going wrong here, and how can I correct it?

I've created an SSIS package that contains a Sequence Container with TransactionOption = Required. Within the container, there are a number of Execute Package Task components running in a serial fashion which are responsible for performing "Upserts" to dimension and fact tables on our production server. The destination db configuration is loaded into each of these packages using an XML configuration file. The structure of these "Upsert" packages are nearly identical, while some execute correctly and others fail. Those that fail all provide the same error messages.
These messages appear during Pre-Execute
[Insert new dimension record [1627]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DW" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Insert new dimension record" (1627) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
... which are followed by
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8004D00A.
While still in debug mode, I can check the properties of the "DW" connection and successfully test the connection within the packages that fail.
The same packages run successfully when tested outside the container (i.e. no transaction) or when the configuration file is modified to point the "DW" connection to a development version of the db which is running on the same server as the source database.
I have successfully used DTCtester to verify that transactions from source to destination server are working correctly. Also tried setting DelayValidation = True with no change. I have opened a case with Microsoft and am awaiting a reply so I thought I'd throw a post out here to see if anyone else has encountered this and might have a resolution. Here's some more on the environment:
Source Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP0
Destination Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3 (clustered)
Thank you in advance for any feedback you might be able to provide.

I'm testing xp_sqlmaint from a SQL-Analyser window using an NT trusted connection. I can backup a database fine using
xp_sqlmaint '-D DumpDB -BkUpDB e:mssql7ackupDumpDBDir -BkUpMedia DISK'
However, attempting to backup the log using
xp_sqlmaint '-D DumpDB -BkUpLog e:mssql7ackupDumpDBDir -BkUpMedia DISK'
fails like a unprepared student. Removing the specification for back up media causes a syntax error. I've pored over BOl for a while and AFAIK, I am using appropriate syntax.
thanks in advance for your help.

I am running SQL Server 2000 SP3 on Win2k Server. I have just built anew maintenance plan that first backs up the database, then analyzesit for allocation and rebuilds indexes. Below is what I am using:exec xp_sqlmaint '-S SCDEV -U "sa" -P <my_sa_password> -D ScProd-PlanName Web_DB_Backup-BkUpDB <My_Path> -BkUpMedia DISK'exec xp_sqlmaint '-S SCDEV -U "sa" -P "my_sa_password" -D SCProd -CkDB-CkAl-CkCat -RebldIdx 99 -HtmlRpt <my_path>SCWeb_DB_Backup_Log.html"-DelHtmlRpt 5days'It seems that after I run this, the database size grew to 5x it'sregular size. I thought this had to do with the index rebuild. WhenI tested it, it ran for nearly 2.5 hours. I checked the datafile andit is ~40GB when it used to be ~8GB. I will have to try and shrinkthe database to get it back to size, but why did the data file grow soastronomically from a maintenance plan?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a job that runs following stored procedure with following parameters in SQL Server 2000. This problem occured in a backend database onepoint run at Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (Front end). The below procedure is used for reindexing job.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint '-PlanName OnePointReindex -RebldIdx 100 -WriteHistory'
This is the error I got. The following line comes with xp_sqlmaint failed.
[Microsoft SQL-DMO] Error 21268: [SQL-DMO]Row or column specified is outside the range of the specified query result set.
I am trying to resolve this but still not successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On my account we have very separate authority between the NT system administrators and the SQL DBAs. Routinely in SQL 6.5 we would remove sa authority from the NT administrators group and add this authority to a NT database administrators group which we were members of using SQL Security manager.
We have tried to apply this same method to our implementation of SQL 7.0. We removed the sysadmin role from the BUILTINAdministrators group and added sysadmin to the DatabaseAdmin NT group which the DBAs and SQLAGENT account are members of. This appeared to work fine until we tried to run our database maintenance plans in SQLAGENT. When sysadmin role is revoked from BUILTINAdministrators the jobs in SQLAGENT using xp_sqlmaint fail with "select permission denied to sysdbmaintplans in database 'msdb' owner 'dbo'"
The SQLAGENT login is part of an NT group that has been granted sysadmin role in SQL Server. This should grant full access to SQLAGENT. What's up? Is the xp_sqlmaint using hardcoded security of some kind? I am confused. Any suggestions? We really need to revoke sysadmin from the BUILTINAdministrators group.

Hi,
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042.
I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs
fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection
Databases: <list of databases>
Include indexes
Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42.
Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46.
Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time.
If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Is only one plan is kept for one query in plan cache?
i heard generally hash is created for a query and plan is search with this hash.

Hi,
I am producing a php report using SQL queries to show the SLA status of our calls. Each call has response, fix & completion targets. If any of these targets are breached, the whole SLA status is set as 'Breach'.
The results table should look like the one below:
CallRef.
Description
Severity
ProblemRef
Logged
Date
Call
Status
SLA Status
C0001
Approval for PO€™s not received

C0003
Approval for PO€™s not received from Siebel.

Investigating
OK
Whereas I can pick the results for the first 6 columns from my Select query, the 'SLA Status' column requires the following calculation:
if (due_date < completed_date)
{ sla_status = 'OK';
}
else sla_status = 'Breach';
The Select statement in my query is looking like this...
Select Distinct CallRef, Description, Severity, ProblemRef, Logdate, Status, Due_date, Completed_date;
The problem is that my query is returning multiple entries for each stage of the call (see below), whereas I just want one entry for each call, with SLA status 'Breach' if any of the stages for the call were out of SLA.

We have a debate in our team about embedded SQL vs. Stored Procs.
The argument is why use SP's if you can embed the SQL in the code and SQL2K will cache it on the fly?
I can't find any definitive information on pros and cons between the two methods.
If there are no major performance issues, or gotchas, I guess it comes down to developer preference.
SP Pros:
- Great SQL support in VS.NET (dev, debug, integration)
- Seperation of database specific code from middle tier.
- Less lines of code in middle tier
- VS.NET support for .xsd dataset definitions.
- Logic closer to data for more demanding processes.
Embedded SQL Pros:
- Less artifacts for version control
- Better encapsulation of logic
Any info would be appreciated.
thanks
Kevin

I am working on tuning the procedure cache hit ratio for my server. We haveadded 4 Gb of memory to the server, which has helped. In addition, I have runthe DBCC FREEPROCACHE, which helped for a couple of days to get the hit ratioup to about 84% (from 68%).When I use the performance monitor on the server and look at SQL Server CacheManager:Buffer Hit Ratio, I see that the Prepared SQL Plan is around 97%, butthe Procedure Plan hit ratio is down around 55%. I've done some research ondifferent tuning techniques, but can't seem to find 1. a clear definition ofthe difference between the prepared sql plan and the procedure plan and 2.other than adding memory and running dbcc freeprocache, how can I get theprocedure plan cache raised? I do know that there are some procedures thatneed to be modified to be called fully qualified (e.g. exec dbo.sp_###instead of exec sp_###), but I don't think that those will increase theprocedure plan by 30% or more.Any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Michael--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200511/1

I did a small package with only one ODBC connection (Merant 3.70 32-Bit Progess). This package runs well in Visual Studio and fails when runs by SQL Server Agent.
Configuration:
SQL Server Agent on a 32Bit server.
The ODBC connection configuration in available on System DSN on this server.
The user of Server Agent have full access (Admin).
Connect Manager Provider: ".Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider"
SQL Server version: 9.0.3042

I created a .bat file with this instruction and It's run well:

pause
Why it's not running with SQL Server Agent???

The benefit of the actual execution plan is that you can see the actual number of rows passing through each step - compared to the estimated number of rows.But what about the "cost percentages" ?I believe I've read somewhere that these percentages is still just an estimate and is not based on the real execution.Does anyone know this and preferable have a link to something that documents it?Thanks

We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?
