Howdy,
Is SQL 2000 clustering on windows 2000 any good ??
We are looking at spending *quite* a bit of money to implement it, but I need opinions of what its like from the people that actually use it & look after it.
e.g.
DOES IT WORK LIKE IT SHOULD????????
Is it reliable?
Is it resource hungry?
Are there lots of bugs?
All repsonses very welcome. No response too small.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
SG.
Hi,
I've my SSIS Packages, having multiple Configuration stored in SQL Server Table named [SSIS Configurations].
And it's devloped on BHUDEV Server ON Devlopmentdb Database. So durring development Default Cofigurations are set for BHUDEV Server.
Problem is that when I install my Package on SQL Server on different Server for example JOHN, and now my database is ProductionDB and [SSIS Configurations] table will be on ProductionDB database. And I've made required changes in [SSIS Configurations] table. So when I run the Package even then it picks configuration information from BHUDEV.Developmentdb.dbo.[SSIS Configurations] table. That's my problem.
But If when during execution time, I change the connection information then it works fine.
Please Help!

Hi
I am writing a application using the ODBC Calls to connect to MSSQL Database 2005 SP2.
I am using the Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 for compilation
I have defined the UNICODE macro in the project settings.
Now when i am trying to connect to MSSQL Database using this call below
retcode = SQLConnect(dbc, (SQLTCHAR*) dsn, SQL_NTS,
(SQLTCHAR*) loginname, SQL_NTS,
(SQLTCHAR*) password, SQL_NTS);
I give a wrong username .
Then i use the function
SQLGetDiagRec to collect the error
void extract_error(char *fn,SQLHANDLE handle, SQLSMALLINT type)
{
SQLINTEGER i = 0;
SQLINTEGER native;
SQLTCHAR state[ 100 ] ;
SQLTCHAR text[256];
SQLSMALLINT len;
SQLRETURN ret;
memset(state,0,sizeof(state));
memset(text,0,sizeof(text));
fprintf(stderr,
""
"The driver reported the following diagnostics whilst running "
"%s",
fn);
do
{
ret = SQLGetDiagRec(type,
handle,
++i,
state,
&native,
text,
sizeof(text),
&len );
if (SQL_SUCCEEDED(ret))
_stprintf(_T("%s:%ld:%ld:%s"), (const TCHAR *)state, i, native, text);
_stprintf(_T("Error code %s "),(const TCHAR *)state);
}
while( ret == SQL_SUCCESS );
}
Now if i check the values of "state" and "native" i get it as 0.
If i use non unicode (i.e. remove the UNICODE macro) it works fine.
Best Regards

Hello,
I'm writing a program which runs SQL express installer
Code Snippet
public bool InstalSQLExpress()
{
//creating new process for setup
Process setupProcess = new Process();
//start information for setup process
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
//filename location
startInfo.FileName = sqlExpressSetupFileLocation;

//startInfo.Arguments = BuildCommandLine(); // <- make it work
// startInfo.Arguments = "/qb INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS ADDLOCAL=All SECURITYMODE=SQL" +
// "SQLACCOUNT=konrad SQLPASSWORD=****** " +
// "AGTACCOUNT=konrad AGTPASSWORD=******" +
// "ASACCOUNT=konrad ASPASSWORD=******" +

startInfo.Arguments = BuildCommandLine();
//we're not using system shell to process execution

strCommandLine += " ASPASSWORD=" + sqlPassword;
strCommandLine += " SAPWD=" + SysadminPassword;
return strCommandLine;
}
else
{
return strCommandLine;
}
}
When I specify command with literal value it works fine but when I try to use function or variable installer prompt error message:
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
I don't know why it's wrong and be gracefull for help
I try to go to a command prompt to get this to run right with no luck. Is there something that I am not doing right? It gives me the help library, but thats about it. Also, I have dealt with Oracle in the past. And was wondering is there a way to access the SQLCMD utility on a workstation with a login of some kind?

Hello all,The followinq qurey returns sometimes values of null to some of this columns, byK,byT,byD. the column F wil not contains any nulls, and 0 will be populated in it at any case of .Now, the problem is that when sorting out F the sort will not work when there is null parameters in byK because teh fact that a 0 values is greater then NULL value, and the sort of F will not take in considiration. So I guess the question is how can I sort NULL values and 0 values to be the same weight in the sort by command? SELECT A.gym_id as gym,s_id, week, gym_name, boxer, league, sum(points)
points,sum(byK)as byK, sum(byT) as byT,sum(byPoints) as byPoints ,
sum(byD) as byD, count(C.gym) as F
FROM A inner JOIN B ON A.gym_id = B.gym_id
left JOIN C ON A.gym_id = C.gym
WHERE (B.l_id = ?text
group by A.gym_id
order by points DESC,byK DESC,byT DESC, byPoints DESC, byD DESC,F ASC
Greetings,
I have an expression in a precedence constraint that is returning false when it should return true. This is the expression that returns false:
((5500 / 9990) * 100) > 10
The following expression returns true. I did the division (5500 / 9990) myself and substituted the resulting value:
((0.55055055055055055055055055055055) * 100) > 10
Why is the first expression returning false? I'm stuck in the mud up to my axles on this and I know I'll probably feel like a fool when I learn the answer...
Thanks,
BCB
Hi Friends
"I wonder why the boolean values Set to "Disable Property" using expressions does not work as expected (though Precedence constraints work fine). I find no way to disable individual task. "
I have a boolen variable V, (False) enabled by default at design time for a task T, I disable T based on a condition (if A ! = 'a') during runtime.
Now first time when I run the Package, Task gets disabled (works fine on the condition given). However T gets permanently disabled even after we stop debug mode, which is not the expected behavior. Further on when you run, it wont work at all.
Is it true that a task disabled at design time cannot be enabled during runtime via expressions ?
If things are working fine in your case, pls let me know what settings are required.
Thanks

Hello,
I tried to use bookmarks in OLEDB consumer templates and I have problems with using MoveToBookmark. This method sets cursor position correctly on bookmarked row, but it seems to me it doesn't set the right cursor position in DB. When I call MovePrev after MoveToBookmark, I will not get previous row of the bookmarked row.
Simplified Example - I get bookmark of the first row, then move to the 3th row. Call MoveToBookmark (current row is no the first row). But when I call MovePrev I'will not get DB_S_ENDOFROWSET but the second row:
MoveFirst()
bk = GetBookmark()
MoveNext()
MoveNext() // Now I'm on third row
MoveToBookmark(bk)
GetData() - Now I get data from 1st row
MovePrev()
GetData() - Now I get data from the second row!!
All calls to OLEDB returs S_OK.
Does somebody now, whats wrong?
Thanks
We want to use sql 2005 failover clustering feature, so that upgrade sql 2000 is necessary. But some of the stored procedures built in 2000 are not working directly in 2005, set the compatibility level to 80 could make them work. In this case, can somebody here tell me if down grade the database level will affect failover clustering running properly? e.g. will data still be synchronized properly? Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Long story, Ihad SQL 2000 happily installed and running for a long time. Attempted to load SQL 2005 alongside, but in retrospect see that I used the same install directory as SQL 2000. Found that the SQL 2000 databases still ran, in that I was able to run applications that rely on them. Enterprise manager ans Query Analyzer are still in the start/program list, but when I try to open them they say that the DSN isn't there, and the odbc driver is missing. Also if I try to configure the system SQL DSN in ODBC datasources I get the same message. I guess the SQL 2005 install has scrambled the ODBC setup.Tried deinstalling SQL 2005, but the problem persists. Tried reloading mdac-typ, same problem. Tried reinstalling SQL2000, same problem. Tried fully deinstalling SQL2000 from Add/remove program, said it completed, but the shortcuts are still there, the applications that use the db's still work, only it no longer appears in Add/Remove programs.
Is there a command line string to manually remove it, or where do I go to repair my mdac, or is this what I actually want to do?
Thanks in advance

We are going to implement a SQL 2000 cluster in an active/passive setup. We are going to use multiple instances. What I am confused about is the naming of the virtual server and instances. In the microsoft documentation it states that all instance/virtual names must be unique across all nodes in the cluster. But the client always specifies the same virtual server name when connecting so how can the names be unique across all nodes??
I would have thought that if there was an instance created called inst1 on node A then during the installation that instance name would be replicated to the failover node B. When installing another instance on Node A do you have to specify a different virtual server and instance name on the failover node B??
Please help!!!!!!!
Should SQL Server 2000 (Enterprise edition) running on a Win2K Advanced Server (Active / Passive) cluster fail-over seamlessly?
We have been assured by our suppliers that current client connections (ODBC using TCP/IP) cannot be maintained during a fail-over. The result is that during a fail-over the client applications crash and users have to restart.
Do we have to modify the client application so that during a fail-over it will attempt to re-establish a connection?
Pointers to any resources for SQL 2000 clustering would be gratefully received (especially any which support the view that fail-over should be seamless).
Many Thanks
Mark

Hello,
Can anyone give me a site that shows Clustering on SQL Server 2000 step by step. I am trying to have two or more servers acting as one and to get high-availability without having any impact on the application side.
Environment:
SQL Server 2000 SP3a on W2K Advanced Server SP4.
1 IBM Server x440 with FastT700 Storage (Fibre Channel)
We need to buy another IBM Server x440 or x445 and we would like to make a cluster.
Question 1:
Once we build the Cluster with the installation of the Cluster Service, making the W2K Cluster, is it possible to upgrade the default instance of SQL Server to a default clusterd instance of SQL Server?
In BOL I have found a note that explain how to do this but I have some doubts.
When I installed SQL Server I placed the system files on the C: drive, the DB files on our SAN on disk E: and the log files on disk F:.
Question 2:
If we would like to use Windows Server 2003 what would be the possibility for an upgrade?
I mean, should I erase all and start with Windows Server 2003 setup or can you suggest to upgrade the OS first, from W2K Advanced Server, and then cluster SQL Server if possible?
Can you advice please?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time.

Are there any decent articles,troubleshooting guides,monitoring guides, books out there, which provide information on setting up SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 using clustering.

I have 2 Node Cluster with 2000 Advanced.
I have SQL 2000 Enterprise. I am trying to setup a failover cluster (active/passive)
I have tried to follow the Microsoft Documentation that came with the box but whe hey what do u know - cannot get it to work. I cannot understand the lines "install a default instance of SQL that runs on both". What does this mean?? I know what a default instance means but running on Both ???
Does anyone have document that will show me the steps.
thanks in advance.
If we have a stateful connection (RDS) and the database fails how will the application reconnect. I do not believe that our application was written using MSCS API. Therefore I don't believe that it caches the user logon and password to log back into the session. So, my question is can the application work with sql server clustering since it uses stateful connections? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone have any information or know where I can get information about setting up SQL2000 and Windows2000 clustering? We want to set up 3 SQL 2000 servers on Windows2000 clustering. We cannot find any technical documentation about the 2 together. If you know of any books or sites please let me know.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a client running a 3rd party app on sql 2000 Enterprise on Windows 2003 Advanced attached to a new SAN. They are looking at adding another SQL server and clustering for failover. Anyone done this before. Do you have to reninstall sql server on the original box to do this. This a a heavily used app, so downtime is always an issue.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am getting ready to have a SQL Server failover cluster setup. I have used SQL 2000 for years, mostly for DTS and related database activities, but NOT in a cluster. I have used SQL 2005 for about one year but not intensively, and NOT in a cluster.
We need to set up a cluster. We are setting up a DELL EMC solution. I am going to hire a consultant to set it up, including the SQL part. My questions are should I use SQL 2000 or 2005? (I don't know if one is better than the other for clustering. Both are supported by our vendor for the application we are running.) How hard is it to maintain a cluster if one hasn't had experience in that area before? How should I prepare?
Any opinions or experiences that you would like to share would be helpful.
Thank you.
We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?

I have the following situation: A webserver in a DMZ which connects to a DbServer in a Domain.
but when I try to make a ODBC connection on the webserver I get the well-known "Server does not exist or access denied" error.
I tried using IP address as well as FQDN. I turned off the firewall in the router (I'm able to access shares and what not from the webserver so the firewall is really turned off).
I think however i have narrowed down the problem to the TCP/IP connection of the SQL Server. Normally when you try from a command prompt
"telnet dbserver 1433" you get a connection. But when I try this to the specific DbServer I get an "unable to connect" error. Even when I try it on the dbserver itself (so telnet localhost 1433). This should work always?
In the network configuration of the sql server the Named Piped as well as the TCP/IP protocols are enabled. TCP/IP is offcourse configured on port 1433.
How can I fix this problem?
Hi,
I am completely new to SSIS. Is there a way to get SSIS to work with a SQL server 2000 database. Is there a SQL 2000 Add in that can be utilized. Basically I want to save the SSIS package to the SQL 2000 database and schedule it to run.
Please let me know if you want any more details.
thanks in advance.
I have a server (win server 2003) that is running Symantec Backup Exec for backups. I found that this soft uses an SQL server 2000 instance to keep his data...
