Guided Tour: SQLCMD Aborts With Error. How To Create Database?
Apr 6, 2006
I searched and found similar questions on this forum, but nothing quite fits my situation.
When I try to run the SQLCMD per the instructions given on the 2nd page of the Guided Tour, the command aborts with the following message.
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I had to run the command from the command prompt window by manually navigating to sqlcmd's subdirectory to see this message. Using the Run window results in the command window closing before the message can be read. I tried using both my machine name and "localhost." Same result.
What is a local vs. remote connection? How could I perform this via a local connection, assuming that's the problem? Or how can SQL Express be configured to allow the remote connection? Did I do something wrong on the install?
I'm a beginner. I'm working at the above making the tour page called authors using a pre loaded data base called pubs. I'm to the point where I'm trying to put the data in the table and getting a server error message SqlData Source could not be found. Can anyone help?
I have installed SQL Express 2005 and I want to create a new DB using sqlcmd.
I am running a command like: sqlcmd -i file.ini (I am logged like Administrator of PC)
the content of the file.ini is:
-- Get the SQL Server data path DECLARE @data_path nvarchar(256);
SET @data_path = 'c:Program FilesMyTestdatabase'
-- execute the CREATE DATABASE statement EXECUTE ('CREATE DATABASE DataCollection ON ( NAME = DC_dat, FILENAME = '''+ @data_path + 'DC.mdf'', SIZE = 10, MAXSIZE = 50, FILEGROWTH = 5 ) LOG ON ( NAME = DC_log, FILENAME = '''+ @data_path + 'DClog.ldf'', SIZE = 5MB, MAXSIZE = 25MB, FILEGROWTH = 5MB )' ) ; GO
I obtain this error:
Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Server TESTQ5SQLEXPRESS, Line 1 CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors. Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Server TESTQ5SQLEXPRESS, Line 1 CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'c:Program FilesMyTestdatabaseDC.mdf'.
If I change the security of directory database (I add "modify" permission to Users windows group) the error disappear.
I am logged like Administrator... why is it necessary to change directory permission?
DECLARE @DTstart SMALLDATETIME, @DTend SMALLDATETIME SELECT @DTstart = "980801", @DTend = "980810" SELECT ' processing from ', @DTstart , ' to' , @DTend SELECT GETDATE(), 'start LOOP' DO WHILE @DTstart <= @DTend BEGIN exec p_pmp_charg_unif_csg @DTstart WAITFOR DELAY "00:01:00" SELECT @DTstart = DATEADD(DAY,1,@DTstart ) END SELECT GETDATE(), 'start LOOP'
I´m having the following problem with SQL 7. When running the loop, all in a sudden it stops - there´s no error message on result. But checking out the current error log, I´ve found the error 17824 reported .
According to the BOL, this error is related to 'priority boost' and troubles in connection between server and client.
This SQL server 7 has the following configuration:
- 128Mb of RAM, and SQL7 can use from 0 to 128MB - boost SQL Server priority on Windows NT - maximum concurrent user connection is 0
Is there someone that had similar problem in SQL 7?
Does anyone know why a backup database statement aborts a job in a stored procedure so that you can't handle the error with @@error, but when you run the same stored procedure in a query window the error handling does get run?
Hi, can we use sqlcmd.exe (successsor to osql) to run sql scripts against a compact edition database? Would like to use the output from Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Professionals to build the database structure on compact edition database.
I get this after dumping about 2GB and 885800 rows X 2 columns from a simple query to a file.
The command line is simple:
sqlcmd -b -h -1 -S "sindb05" -d ACT -E -Q "select date, data from data_strings with (nolock) where date > '2008-01-20 12:00:00' and date < dateadd(hour, +1, '2008-01-20 12:00:00')" -o out.txt
I just wanted to let you know of a new set of guided tours we have just released. Guided tours provide an overview of the key functionality that is available with SSIS, which will reduce the barrier to learn SSIS for newcomers to SSIS and people upgrading from DTS.
Dear profetionlas: I cannot run sqlcmd in my computer but i can connect to my SQL Server2005 through SSIS This is the error I see . Please give me some recommandation

I would like also metion that 1)windows firewall is off 2)All SQL server Services are running 3)This is my default instance also I have another named instance in the server
As a complete beginner regarding SQL Server, I installed SQLExpress and lots of other things Microsoft told me to (without understanding why) accepting all the defaults offered.
I can make a connection to the server with "SQL Server Management Studio Express", create a database and add one two tables and views.
But all other things I've tried seem to go wrong without me having the slightest idea why, e.g.:
% SQLCMD.EXE -S swansqlexpress HResult 0xFFFFFFFF, Level 16, State 1 SQL Network Interfaces: Error getting enabled protocols list from registry [xFFFFFFFF].
The above for instance when the protocol "Shared memory is enabled". If any combination of the other protocols are enabled, then I get a different error message.
I also cannot use the ODBC Management Tools to define a DSN connecting to SQLExpress ("Server does not exist or connection refused).
What I really want to do is to import data, using ODBC, from a different RDBMS into SQLExpress. Before writing my own scripts to do this, I had hoped that there would have been some GUI interface to SQLExpress with a nice little button saying "import external data". Is their such a beast?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express. I need to run a transact-sql script file to update the database. I am getting a "Login Failed" error when I use the SQLCMD utility. I use Windows Authentication.
Here is the command I use: sqlcmd -S .SQLEXPRESS -d C:Progra~1MyProgramDataMyData.MDF -i MyUpg.SQL
Here is the message I am getting:
Msg 4060, Level 11, State 1, Server VAIOSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Cannot open database "C:Progra~1 MyProgram Data MyData.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Server VAIOSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Login failed for user 'VAIOUser Name€™.
Actually, it seems to work on my development PC, but have problem when using on a customer's machine where the product has been installed.
Been doing some testing with SQLCMD and variables for installation scripts, enclosed below is some source code. The one problem, I've been getting is the following error:
Incorrect syntax near 'certification'
This has been tested only in SSMS utilising the run in SQLCMD mode.
This error only occurs on the SQLCMD variable replacement, where it replaces $(Cert_Schema) for the word Certification. Running the CREATE Synonym with the word Certification hard-coded into the script works.
Any ideas? Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (Intel X86) Mar 23 2007 16:28:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
I get following error trying to use SQLCMD OR OSQL
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I searched this forum for answers and I found one solution where it was said that Remote connections for TCP and Named Pipes needs to be enabled. I have them enabled, but I still get this error. I had working SQL server before, but I had to uninstall it. Now after installing ti again I started to get this error.
Anything else besides disabled remote connections cause this problem? I'm trying a local connection. I heard elsewhere that this could be firewall related, but shouldn't it use local connection always when I try to connect it with sqlcmd and no other parameters given?
I get this error trying to upgrade my SQLCMD package:
"The installer encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755"
I've seen other threads addressing this but not for the SQLCMD installer. They suggested either not having write permission or not running from the local C: drive. I'm an Administrator on the system and the package is on the C: drive. So, what else? Thanks. -- Ian
I am new to SQL server 2005. We have installed SQL server 2005 cluster. I tried to setup peer-to-peer replication with another standard server. Unfortunately, when I creating publication, I got error message : SQL server cound not configure "MyServer" as a Distributor [New publication Wizard] Additional information: An exception occurred whild executing a Transact_SQL statement or batch. The Server "Myserveris already defined as a Distributor. To reconfigure the server as a Distributor, you must first uninstall the exisitingDistributor. Use the stored procedure sp_dropdistributor, or use the Disable Publishing and Distribution Wizard. Changed database context to 'master'. [Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 14099]
I tried to use sqlcmd and I got another error message: C:>sqlcmd HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1 Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].

Does anyone have any idea how to get the sqlcmd work?

Hi all , I have a problem using BCP. The execution of BCP proccess stops whenever an error of constraint voilation occurs. What i want is that the BCP should log the errors and continue the execution.
The manuals states that the errors are logged into the file specified during bcp and proccess continues. Whereas the same thing is not happening here.
I am using SQL Server version 6.5
Please help me out with a solution as soon as possible.
I am trying to create a database in my application's installation folder and it will not create because the folder does not have the permissions for the service account added as full control. I can't figure out how to get the service account name in my program so that I can add it to the folder permissions. The service name is a long name and has the computer name and the SQL server name included in it. For example: SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$<Ccmputer Name>$SQLEXPRESS. I'm assuming this pattern is always followed. I guess my question is can I query the database for this information and then use it to add the appropriate permissions to my application's install folder?
One of my clients has a stored procedure on their secondary server thatcopies a bunch of data from the production server. (Replication willbreak the accounting software, according to its authors. The productionserver generates a nightly full backup, so if the secondary can bescripted to do a nightly restore from that same file, then that wouldprobably be a Big Win.)Anyway, if I execute the stored procedure from Query Analyzer, itfinishes (after nearly 24 hours) - tested once recently, and I'm sureat least a few times at some point in the past. If I run a SQL ServerAgent job that executes the stored procedure, then it gets cut off afterabout 15-20 minutes - tested once recently with a manual run, and forseveral weeks of scheduled runs before that. (This being a secondaryserver, it took a while for the problem to be noticed.) What are thelikely causes of this?Both servers are running SQL 2K with SP3, and limited to TCP/IP andnamed pipes. RPC is allowed, with a 600-second timeout, but thatdoesn't seem relevant, since both the successful and unsuccessfulmethods go well past that length. The production server is a recentpurchase, and works well for their daily operations; the secondaryserver and/or its network connection might be flaky for all I know,but that doesn't seem relevant either, since success appears todepend consistently on method of execution.
I am a complete newbie here. I have spent hours trying to create a database - (even installed on XP and Vista) and I seem to not be able to create a database - it tells me that:
Create Database permission denied in database master - Microsoft SQL Server Error 262.
How to I enable these priviledges?
Do i need to regsiter the Server with the Enterprise Manager and how do I do that?
I am trying to create a database and I manage to get the code right for dropping the database if it already exists and then createing the data file and log file. After this I try to set some options for the database with the following code
ALTER DATABASE MyDataWarehouse SET RECOVERY SIMPLE, ANSI_NULLS ON, ANSI_PADDING ON, ANSI_WARNINGS ON, ARITHABORT ON, CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON, QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON, NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF, PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM, ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON; GO
But I get an error saying Incorrect syntax near 'CHECKSUM'.
I've just installed SQL Server Express and attempted to create my first database and received this error message :-(
Maybe this is a long shot, but can someone tell me what I've done wrong? Do I have a bad install or what?
Essentially I followed the steps below to create the database:
1. Started MS SQL Server Management studio Express 2. Right clicked on the Database folder 3. Selected "New Database..." 4. New Database panel displayed 5. Entered name of database - pip 6. Clicked "OK" 7. Receieved error dialog with followig message:

I have an application which will create a SQL database(using CREATE DATABASE) and the database files are supposed to be placed in c:program filesmyAppdatamyDatabase.mdf
Hi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.
I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.
Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide... Matt.
I am using VB with Visual Studio Express. I am new to these tools. I have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on my machine. I think that I have the right version. I am just using Express for taking classes and teaching myself on my machine. When I follow the examples in the book, I keep getting this error when I go to my ASP.NET configuration and click on the security tab to add myself as a user. "There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: The database filename can not contain the following 3 characters: [ (open square brace), ] (close square brace) and ' (single quote) " -- end of erro msg. I have an apostrophe in my last name. Could that be what is causing it? Is it creating a db based on my name or something? Or do I have the wrong version of SQL Server Express installed. Thank you for any help. I appreciate it.
Hi - I hope some of you can help me with this problem.
I'm trying to run the snapshot agent for 77 published tables, but the agent stops suddenly uninterrupted. It stops in the middle of taking a snapshot of a table containing 81,719,531 rows. The error message is pasted below.
