The Next Step Up From SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 9, 2007

I have been running my production Web Application for the last 10 months using SQL Server 2005 Express on a dedicated server...and now I am ready to upgrade to the next best version of SQL Server without going broke.
I have 1 dedicated server (with 2 processors) entirely dedicated to hosting this single database intensive Web Application, so my quesiton is... 
Should I upgrade to the WorkGroup Edition of SQL Server 2005 ($740) or should I go with the SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition that has 5 CALs ($1200 for CD's only at viosoftware.com)?
I look forward to hearing some advice on this matter,
Thanks, Greg

Reporting Problems W/ MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step By Step To MS

Apr 26, 2007

I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:



select * from vProductProfitability

where year = 2003 and

MonthNumberOfYear = 1



The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.



I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?



BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.



This humble grasshopper seeks wisdom.



Respectfully Submitted,

SQL Server Agent Job Step Fails When Creating A SQL Server Integration Serveices Type Of Step

I posted this on the sql server security forums too. Here is the error that i get when i change the type of the step to ssis

This error pops up right after i change the type of the step to "SQL Server Intergration Services Package"

I have made the following configurations:

The user group (windows group) that the user belongs has the following roles in msdb :

db_dtsadmin
db_dtsltuser
db_dtsoperator
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole

i have made a proxy to sql server agent which has the following subsystems :

"SQL Server Integration Services Provider" the proxy is tied to the same login which has those SQLagent and dts roles in msdb database.

Im using windows authentication and the user that logs into the sql server is in the same group that i have set all of the rights.

Ps. Clearly im missing some role or right somewhere because as soon as i give the group sysadmin role then all the users in that group can create SSIS steps in the agent.

Ps. Ps. I have been living under the impression that i dont have to give sysadmin rights to people that create ssis packages and schedule then with the agent.

Install SQL Server 2005 And SP 2 In One Step?

Sep 5, 2007

Hello,

as the installation of SQL Server 2005 takes very long and the installation of SP 2 for it even longer, is it possible to get a DVD from Microsoft, which installs both in one step? Or create such a DVD for yourself using the files on the normal DVD and in the service pack?

(When I asked the same question some years ago about SQL Server 2000 I was told that this would be possible with the next SQL Server version).

SQL Server 2005 Installation Hangs On Removing Temporary Files Step

Feb 2, 2007

I have a virtual machine that previously had SQL Server 2005 installed. Since I changed the computer name, I have to reinstall SQL. I removed all the SQL components and am trying to reinstall the database and reporting components. The installation is failing on the "Removing temporary files" step. According to the setup progress screen, the following components have been installed:

OWC11

SQL Server Bakcward-Compatibility Files

SQL Server Database Services

Reporting Services

Visual Studio Integrated Development

SQL Server Books Online

SQLXML4

Workstation Components, Books Online - this step is still in "configuring components" status.

The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 Server SP1 with all current patches, using just under 2 GB of memory (1920 MB of RAM), the host is Windows XP SP2 with all current patches, with 4 GB of memory.

I had no problem doing this procedure on a different virtual machine, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

Hello everybody!

I hope that someone could help me.

I have a problem when i start sincronyzing with the emulator of MSVS2005 to SQL2005 in Windows Vista. I have the same program in the emulator, but sincronyzing with windows XP Pro and no problem...



I configure the connection to use the IUSR.



The source code that i use:

repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication;

Execute Package Results Different To Step By Step Execution - Uses Raw File

Jan 31, 2007

I have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.

Here's the rub:

If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).

I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)

Thanks

Step-by-step Deployment Of Single-user Database App?

Mar 2, 2008

Hi!

I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.

I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.

I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.

What I have so far is:
1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however.
2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005)
3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)

Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)

The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.

What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.

But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.

Thank you very much.

How To Read An Database Table Step By Step (with ADO)

May 19, 2008









Hi,
I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory.
Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.

Enabling T-SQL Debugger (SQL2000) - Step Into, Step Over Etc

Dec 5, 2007

Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine


Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.

from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.

i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.

T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.

but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"

so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output

is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??

Cheers,

Step By Step For Indirect Configuration

I cannot even get the XML configuration file to work by accessing it directly. I'm using the wizard to create the file.

Does SQL Server 2005 Express Support XQuery Static Type Analysis?

Jan 1, 2007

I am quite curious about SQL Server 2005 Express, since I am conducting an XQuery implementation survey for my thesis study.

Yet I still got some questions and may need your help:

1. Does SQL Server 2005 Express support XQuery static type analysis (from http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-semantics/)?

2. If so, since the W3C standard is still changing, how do you keep up
with the change efficiently?

Your help will be appreciated.
Happy New Year and Thank you,

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?

Aug 8, 2006

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.

How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?

Currently, if I run this query:

SELECT @@version

I get the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.


Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

SQL Server Step-Up Licensing Query

Jan 29, 2008

Hi,

I've recently purchased a number of SQL Server licenses, one was a single processor enterprise license with 2 years SA/Step-Up. The reason I purchased the SA/Step-up was that we plan to move to 2008 when it is released and I was given advice from our suppliers that the step-up would allow us to do this.

However, I've read a few things in the past few days that have made me questions this. Namely a comment that read: "SA Step Up is normally only used if you have for e.g. SQL Server Standard with SA and wish to turn it into SQL Enterprise..a completely different product"

What I'm now wondering is whether I've wasted money purchasing a step-up license. Can it be used to upgrade to 2008 when it is released? I'm going to buy another enterprise license shortly with the same upgrade intentions but if SA isn't going to help then I see no point buying it.


Thanks in advance.
Andrew

SQL Server 2014 :: Add A Step To Add To Encrypt Backup

Its called "EncryptBackup.exe".My difficulty is I do not know how to add the step to the job exactly. The command syntax eludes me a bit. The syntax for the encrypter exe is:

C:exesEncryptBackup.exe C:DBBackupFolderA Encypt filename.bak

The output is "filename_encrypt.bak". It should be noted that there exists several sub-folder off: C:DBBackup like FolderA, FolderB, etc...each one holds a database.

SQL Server 2012 :: Unable To Add More Than Around 4000 Characters To A Job Step

Apr 29, 2015

SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition (11.0.5058.0) on Windows Server 2008 R2

At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit some size limit on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error

Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255
String or binary data would be truncated.

Adding the job step via SSMS yields

Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)

I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Recognize And Start A Job If Another Job Step Is Successful

Jun 1, 2015

I have a maintenance job which has many job steps - checkdb, backup, rebuild index, etc...

I was asked to setup a job which will copy all backup files to a central location.

Now I wrote the script and its working good (part of a new job step)

But, I am now thinking to add some more logic in the job step:-

that is, if the previous job (server maintenance) is successfully completed with the backup job (if completed successfully), then only the copy to location job will start, if the other job step is failed, my copy bkp job will not run.

SQL Server 2008 :: SSIS - How To Alert When Step Fails

Jun 12, 2015

I have a simple SSIS package that imports an Excel Spreadsheet into a table. The column heading got changed, so the package failed, as expected, but I would like an alert or some way to make the scheduled job show "failed". I tried putting an event handler on the :Data Flow" step to send an email, but it didn't work.

I would like to figure out the event handler problem, but more important to have the job show as failed.

For some reason the Scheduled job shows "success" even though the SSIS package failed. A better solution is to make the scheduled job itself fail, based on the package failing.

SQL Server Job/Step Active X Script &&> 3200 Bytes?

Sep 10, 2007



This must have frustrated a few people. I was putting the final touches to the VBScript in a Step of a SQL Server Agent Job when I exceeded the limit of 3200 bytes. I was obviously unaware of this limit until I hit it.

Is there a way to increase the limit?
Does it still apply in SQL 2Server 2005?

I worked around the problem by converting it to a DTS ActiveX Script Task. A bonus was the you actually get line numbers in the editor although I had pretty much finished debugging by then. I assume that I could do the same in SSIS for SQL Server 2005.

I considered creating a VBS file and executing it from an Agent Job but then the file would not get backed up with one of the system databases. With the script in an Agent Job or DTS Package, it is backed up with either the system or master database (I never can remember which) making life a little simpler during disaster recovery.

I would appreciate any comments.
