SQL Server 2000, Requesting Database Properties Lock Up Enterprise Manager
Hello,
We have MS SQL Server 2000 and recently we found out that right
clicking on a database and selecting properties would lock up the
enterprise manager. We have 80 Databases 4 GB Memory 2 Xeon 3.0 GHz
CPUs
SQL Server Runs just fine, query results are timely. It's just the
properties screen for databases that's concerning me.
Any ideas why that's happening and how I could resolve it?
Thanks

Enterprise Manager Crashes When Accessing Server Agent Properties
I've been trying to access the properties of SQLServer Agent. I do this by going into Enterprise Manager, expanding the Management folder right clicking on the SQL Server Agent and then clicking properties. But, Enterprise Manager just locks up. I have sp1 installed and I running this on a windows 98 box. It is the desktop version of sql 7.0 server. This box replicates with an nt server, but I can't get in to configure it when it crashes. Does anyone have an advice as to why this occurs? Thanks, Corey

Tip - Speed Up &"Database Properties&" In Enterprise Manager
Here's something I found a few months ago, and it seems to come inhandy pretty often, so I figured I'd share.Disclaimer: you are modifying a SYSTEM TABLE. This may not work inthe next version of SQL Server.When you right click on a Database in the Enterprise Manager andchoose Properties, in order to show the last backup time, it has to gothrough MSDB and find the last backup date for the database. Unlessyou're carefully pruning that (via sp_delete_backuphistory), it canget slow. Eventually, getting database properties can literally takeminutes, which locks up the Enterprise Manager for that period oftime.After watching via the profiler, I added two indexes in MSDB:in backupset: 1 index, on "media_set_id" and "backup_finish_date"in restorefile: 1 index, on "restore_history_id"(both are nonclustered, though you probably could cluster therestorefile index)Now, getting properties takes about 4 seconds.Hope this helps.

DTS: Connection Properties Close The Enterprise Manager !
I designed a DTS package with eleven different connections. When I try to see the proberties of a connection the enterprise manager immediatly closes without giving me a warning. This happens only with two connections (in my example M1 and M2). This mistake has no influence to the execution of the package. In my opinion it is a fault of the DTS package desinger but may be that I made something wrong. Is there anybody who knows this mistake? Thanks for your help.

Enterprise Manager Hangs Trying To Show TEMPDB Properties
Hi there - I am trying to look at TEMPDB properties in Enterprise Manager but it just hangs forever. I can look at props for all other databases on that server OK. The server is working OK but users reporting performance problems. Also, how to increase the size of TEMPDB in T-SQL - I can see it is approx 200MB plus 300MB for the transaction log at the moment. (Microsoft Windows 2003 Std Edition SP1, SQL Server 2000 Std Edition SP3) Thanks for helping, Michael

SQL Server 2000 Diagrams Without Enterprise Manager
Hi,I currently (for a hobby project) am unable to use SQL Server 2005, and rather am stuck with 2000. Since the way diagrams are handled changed, the tool for 2005 doesn't allow for the creation of diagrams when using it for 2000 (work sweet for everything else though!).I do not have access to a developer version of SQL Server 2000's tools, and thus no Enterprise Manager, leading me to my question: Are there any free utilities to replace this functionality? I don't have MS Access or Visio or anything like that unfortunately :(

Sql Server 2000 Enterprise Manager Crashing
I've installed the client tools on my notebook, and EM normally works properly. However, sometimes Enterprise Manager will crash on me for no obvious reason(it generates errors, but this takes forever, so i kill it). It is not consistent, nor can I reproduce the error, but it happens about once a day, never at the same time. Anyone else see this? My pc has win2K professional on it.

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager Error
Hi Guys wondering if you can help me. Im having an issue with SQL Server Enterprise manager. I cannot access an MSDE DESKTOP SQL Server 2000 installation that is on the same machine as enterprise manager. I can access the MSDE Databae from another machine fine, but when I try to register that DB locally in Enterprise manager I get this error. PC007 - Data source name not found and no default driver specified. I had to install sqlserver 2000 using k=dbg and skip the MDAC install as it was giving me an install error but this shouldnt have mattered as I am running XP SP2 and it has MDAC 2.8 installed by default. Any Ideas?

Registering SQL Server In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager
When Trying to register a SQL Server using Windows Authentication, I get the following error: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. When I edit the properties and make it SQL Authentication, it works fine. The SQL Server Service is starting up with a domain user account. If that makes any difference. Funny thing is, that my co-worker, can register the SQL Server in his Enterprise Manager using Windows Authentication. We are both Domain Admins and members of the servers local admin group. So, I'm not sure what to do now. I checked under Security, Logins...and neither of us are listed under there. Thanks

SLOW Connection To SQL Server 2000 From Enterprise Manager
I have had a problem with Enterprise Manager connecting to SQL Server. At first this problem was experienced with one particular network user... whichever PC he logged onto, Enterprise Manager took ages to connect to SQL Server and every operation was painfully slow. Creating a new Windows NT logon fixed the problem. I now have this same problem but only on my PC. It doesn't matter which Windows NT logon I use, using Enterprise Manager is painfully slow. I've tried creating a new Windows NT profile, checking the hard drive for errors, defragmenting the disk, reinstalling Enterprise Manager etc but nothing works. What is strange is that connections from VB applications on my PC are fast. It is only Enterprise Manager that is slow. I am using the latest service pack for SQL Server. I thought it could be a problem with the Enterprise Manager registry values but don't want to start messing with them! Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any advice would be great as I can't find any help from microsoft other than installing the latest service pack for SQL Server. Thanks

Dual Instances In OnSQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager
I am working on a site's SQL Server 2000 database on a W2k3 machine . I went into Enterprise Manager and saw that their database resides on a named instance. I did not see the default instance listed so I registered that using windows authentication. I noticed that the default instance had a user database that had the same name as the user database on the named instance that I was to work on. I looked at the properties of the databases and saw that on both the default and named instances of SQL Server that the Data Files and Log Files for the user database point to the same location. Is this a problem? Can anyone see any issues with this? Does this mean that someone can simply connect to the named or the default instance of the SQL Server and connect to the same database? Kirk

Hi Everyone,Most of our MS SQL Servers are still running on SQL 2000, but being Iwill soon be upgrading my workstation to Vista Business I'd like toinstall MS SQL 2005 Enterprise Manager to manage them all. When Itried to install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager on Vista, it gave me amessage saying it's not compatible, so I'll have to use 2005 I guess.We have LOTS of DTS scripts on our SQL 2000 server, and will 2005 EMwork with these okay? Also I want to make sure SQL 2005 EnterpriseManager won't be adding to, changing, or 'upgrading' the DTS scripts oranything on the SQL 2000 servers as we still have folks using SQL 2000Enterprise Manager.Thanks for any suggestions. I'm always leery when using cross-versionsof Microsoft applications because they are often incompatible or theydo squirly things that often break stuff.Thanks --Alex

What's New In Enterprise Manager 2000?
Is there anything significantly better in Enterprise Manager 2000 vs. the old EM from SQL Server 7.0? If so I'd be willing to pay the $50 for the SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition to get it... if not it seems dumb to pay for anything when MSDE 2000 is free and I already have the old EM. (Although I have installed MSDE 2000 as a new instance and can't figure out how to get at it via EM.) Thanks for any insight.

Enterprise Manager 2000
I have just discovered something with EM 2000. In the old days (SQL Server 7), you could right click on a table, choose OPEN TABLE -> SELECT ALL ROWS and get a nice little grid with the select results. The same is true in SQL Server 2000. One thing you cannot do is update a value in that result set, which WAS something you could do in SQL Server 7. If you try it in EM 2000, you get the error message "TRANSACTION CANNOT BE STARTED WHILE IN FIREHOSE MODE". ??????? Am I just missing something, or was Microsoft so worked up about putting XML into their product, they overlooked some of the simple things that were really appreciated (and sorely missed). If anyone can provide some insight, it would be appreciated. Thank You

I Can't Connect To My SQL Database Using Enterprise Manager :(
Hello, I am trying to solve this problem for the past 1.5 weeks and it is driving me crazy :( I can't connect to my SQL database using Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, Visual Studio 2003 .NET or a .aspx that I created for testing.. it runs perfectly on my domain but it doesnt work on my computer, on the browser I get this message: SQL Server unavailable or access denied. It is the same message I get when I try connecting to my db using EM, QA, VS.NET etc :( I can ping my sql domain, so I know I have access to it and it is working.. I can successfully connect to my personal SQL server running on my machine. (SQL Server Personal Edition running on Windows XP ) I tried doing everything I could, I already selected TCP/IP as my client only protocol; I tried installing the lastest MDAC (v 2.8); I tried every other port on my TCP/IP client setup like 14333 or 11433 or 11143 etc; I tried every other port on the alias I set for my sql address; I tried downloading the evaluation version of MS SQL2000 and updating it to SP3; I tried reinstalling several times my MS SQL2000 (I use the personal edition on my windows XP) and updating it to SP3; I tried connecting to my sql address domain and directly to its IP; And I tried a lot more resolutions that I can't remember right now, but it didn't work :( I've been searching all forums/google etc looking for someone with my problem but I still didnt, everyone who had a problem connecting to their DB using EM or QA resolved it by doing "this or that", I did exactly the same "this or that" on my computer/config and it didn't resolve my problem. :( What am I doing wrong? I can't connect to my database from my personal computer :( I have never used enterprise manager before, so I don't know if it is a problem on my personal computer or on my sql server address on internet.. Is there anyway to find a free test ms sql database with like 1mb just to try and find out if I can connect to a sql database at all using EM or if the problem is here on my computer? Thanks in advance for any help, Xande

Linking A MySQL Database In Enterprise Manager
Hello, I'm having a problem linking (as a linked server) a MySQL DB on a linux box into Enterprise Manager on a Windows (XP Pro or Win 2000) box. SQL Server is on the XP Pro and Win 2000 boxes. I have installed the MyOLEDB3 provider and I am able to bind to the MySQL Database. I can see the table names, catalog, etc. But when I right click on any of the tables I only get 2 options, "copy" and "help". I researched this and found another post here at dbForums (link at the bottom) and I have done everything it has said to do, but I still can't view the data. I definitely have rights to do since I can view in MySQL and thru ACCESS using ODBC (using that ODBC connection returns the same limited results in Enterprise Manager) so that's not the issue. I'm able to view the data using query analyzer, even though it's quite fragile failing on nulls and variable length character types. Just not through EnterPrise Manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cary http://dbforums.com/arch/43/2003/1/636184
