Uninstalling SQL Server 2000 Instance On A Mulitple Instance Platform From Command Line
I have a situation where we need to uninstall a SQL Server 2000 instance from the command line using the REMOVE=ALL option along with the INSTANCENAME option in the uninstall process. This must be done from the command line and not through the operating system. We will then install a SQL Server 2005 instance to replace the old SQL Server 2000 instance.
My question is whether or not performing an uninstall using the mentioned options will "break" other SQL Server 2000 instances on this server or will they continue to function normally? I know under SQL Server 2005 the REMOVE=ALL option will remove all the shared components and certain instances will be "broken"; does the same thing happen in SQL Server 2000?

Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either. Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...

Named Instance Problems (Default Of 7.0/2000 Instance)
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection. Has anyone ran into similar problems? Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

How To Move A Single Database From SQL Server Instance To New SQL Instance
Hi, I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do .. Thanks in advance.. Regards, Himansu

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance - Vista Business
Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem. I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine.

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance
No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum. €œFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€? I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again. I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it. SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients. What is causing this? This is some information on the system I am using: MS XP (SP2) Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 Installed Edition: Standard Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 Operating System 5.1.2600 I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance
Hello everyone, I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials. Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further: in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed: "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed." If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says: "The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends. I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow? All this happens on local machine. Thanks to everybody who can help! Jeff

Using DNS To Connect To A SQL Server 2000 Instance
Does anyone know how to use a DNS to connect to an server instance when the DNS is not the server name. A DNS of 'PROD123' would resolve to the IP of the machine PROD123 and therefor ISQL -S"PROD123MYINSTANCE" would work. If there was a DNS of 'PRODUCTION' that resolves to the IP of the machine PROD123 then ISQL -S"PRODUCTIONMYINSTANCE" will not work. I appreciate that we can use the Client Network Utility to set up an alias but the implimentation requires that this cannot be configured on the client machines. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome.

Migrating From SQL2K Named Instance To SQL2K5 Default Instance
Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this? So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve: Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance) Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance) If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution? Regards, Vipul

Linked Server To SQL 2000 Instance Not Working
I have 3 SQL servers in a single domain. Servers A and B are SQL 7 SP3 and server C is SQL 2000 SP2. I can set up linked servers on any server to see the tables on any other server. Also, when I REGISTER each server within each Enterprise Manager, I can see the remote databases and tables just fine. The problem I have is that I should also be able to see the linked servers under each registered server, but I get Error 17: SQL Server does not exist or access denied when I try to view the SQL 2000 tables. For example, from Server A I can set up in "Linked Servers" a link to both Servers B and C and can see both sets of tables just fine. From Server B, when I REGISTER Server A, I can see all the databases and tables on Server A and I can also see under Server A's "Security" folder that there are "Linked Servers" to Servers B and C. But, when I click on "tables" underneath each link, I only can see the tables on Server B -- I get the error when I try to view the tables on Server C. If any of you have the same type of set up, see if you get the same results. It's easier to view than to explain. Any suggestions?

What Does The Use Command Do When You Are Working Against A User Instance/attachdb
I have a script from ASP.NET application services. It can be crated using the aspnet_regsql.exe utility in the 2.0 framework. The beginning of the script contains the following: Code Snippet SQL DECLARE @dbname nvarchar(128) DECLARE @dboptions nvarchar(1024) SET @dboptions = N'/**/' SET @dbname = N'databasename' IF (NOT EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = @dbname)) BEGIN PRINT 'Creating the ' + @dbname + ' database...' DECLARE @cmd nvarchar(500) SET @cmd = 'CREATE DATABASE [' + @dbname + '] ' + @dboptions EXEC(@cmd) END GO USE [databasename] GO I have a database in the App_Data folder in an ASP.NET website project. It shows up in the Server Explorer. But when I run this script on that database, the output seems fine (No rows affected. (0 row(s) returned) etc) but no tables are actually created in the database I ran it on. The database connection string in the Server Explorer has AttachDbFilename and User Instance=True. So what exactly happens when SQL Server Express executes the CREATE DATABASE and USE [databasename] in this context? Is it ignored, is there now a new database somewhere on my machine, because the script seems to run fine on SOME database, just not the one expected. Thanks!

SQL Server 2000 Named Instance/sp4 Install: Restart Later
We are trying to quickly put together what needs to be accomplished to install a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on an existing production server (also running SQL Server 2000). It appears as if the install will require a reboot. Can the reboot be postponed until after-hours without impacting the default instance of SQL Server? Also, I see that if certain services are stopped prior to installing sp4 that you can avoid a reboot. However, if we are unable to stop these services (DTC, for example) without impacting the default instance of SQL Server, will the default instance of SQL Server experience any issues if we postpone the post-sp4 reboot until after hours? Thanks! Michelle

Multi Instance Sql Server 2000, Coexistence SP3-SP4, Replication Issue?
Hi, I've went throught the SP4 documentation but I didn't find a clear answer about how to deal with this situation: In the situation of a multi instances server in which all instances are SP3a, can I just upgrade a couple of instances to SP4 and leave the others in SP3a ? . One of the instances I may have to leave in SP3a belongs to a merge replication environnement (Distributor and Publisher), while the Subscriber is also in SP3 on a remote server (which I don't administer..).(the point is that in this situation I have to upgrade the 2 servers simultaneously) In other words, when I 'll apply the SP4 to just one instance, I understood that the all the tools will be upgraded to SP4. Will the merge replication involving a SP3 instance on the same server still work? Thanks for your comments/replies/ideas. Regards, jalal

Installing A Default Instance AFTER A Named Instance???
I have SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition (sp3a) running on a windows 2003 (sp4) Server. It is a Production Server with 3 NAMED Instances and NO Default Instance. Does anyone know if I can rerun the SQL Server Install and add a DEFAULT Instance to this box without disrupting the other Named Instances???

Migrating From Named Instance To Default Instance
I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed. Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Create A Named Instance On Top Of A Default Instance
Hi I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS. Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that? Cheers Chris

Single Instance/Multiple Instance/Virtualization Q
I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can. My question: What is the best way to configure the box? 1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc... 1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process? Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance? Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover. I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment? Thanks Scott

Error Message: Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server. Only An Integrated Connection Can Generate A User Instance
Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Cant Use ODBC Data Source On SQL SERver 2000 Sp3a Named Instance
Here's my situation:I have an ODBC DSN setup for Timberline Data (An accounting packagethat uses pervasive.sql) on my sql box. I set up a linked server usingthe supplied timberline odbc driver. I have two sql instances setup,the default instance and a named instance. On the default instance,the linked server works great no matter who is logged in using it (allauthentication is NT integrated). However on the named instance onlythe NT account that the MSSqlserver$NAMED service is logged in undercan utilize the linked server. All others get a ODBC error:"error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. AccessDenied. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL'IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied.]."Far as i can tell, both instances are setup the same, except that oneis the default and one is a named instance.Why the different results for the default instance vs a named instance.Any ideas?Thanks

Applying Service Packs To SQL Server 2000 Instance Attached To Sql Server 2005
Hi, I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine." The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously). Thanks.
