Create a linked server to another box.
exec sp_serveroption 'RemoteServer', 'connect timeout', '1'
exec sp_serveroption 'RemoteServer', 'query timeout', '1'
Pull the network cable from the remote box.
SELECT * from RemoteServer.Database.dbo.Table1
Why does it take almost exactly 21 seconds, every time, before it fails?
How can I get it to fail immediately?
I've been informed that our data feed systems are going to be shut down and that our data will be residing in Teradata V2R5 databases. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get connectivity to a Teradata server via Linked Server in the Security folder of SQL Server Enterprise Manager? If no then; Is it possible through a DTS package? Thanks for the info...
I have two databases that support two separate applications. Both applications are required to be in sync with one anther. One application is MSSQL 2000 based and the other is Oracle 9.i. Given the complexity of the first application (host), the best solution was to use linked servers to connect the SQL database to the Oracle database.
To prevent imbalances, the host application calls a package in Oracle to update the secondary application before it completes the transaction in SQL. This way, if anything fails at any point, the entire transaction is rolled back and neither databases are updated.
PROBLEM:
Our test system is stand alone but is performing the previously mentioned transaction in the same manner to an Oracle database on a Linux server. After passing testing, we promoted the application to the live system and are experiencing the following error when the transaction attempts to call the Oracle package:
Connectivity error: [Microsoft][ODBBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]MSDTC on server XXXXX is unavailable.
I have done some reading, but there really isn€™t much literature on linked servers. Will someone help?
A fellow developer of mine has created a ASP.Net application that executes some fairly complex stored procedures. This application is for all intensive purposes a queue and 3 or 4 people work on processing items in a FIFO type environment. There is logic in the Stored procedures to make sure each worker get a unique entry using a series of query hints.
Well what we are seeing is if these works are moving at a rapid pace and we execute an sp_who2 on the sql server there are entries that that seems to be hanging there and REMAINING there even after a browser is closed or the disposed method has been called on the connection object. Has anyone else experienced something similar to this with an ASP.Net application used by mutiple people?
My inclination is to blame the design of the application, but before I do that and step on my co-workers toes I thought I would throw this out to the group.
We have been having performance issues with a high use webservice that is making ado calls. Using past logs, I narrowed down the bottlenecks to delays that always appear to occur around some ADO call.
When I reproduce the same stored procedure calls in Query Analyzer I get a fast response.
I checked and made sure that the sqlConnection is being closed after use.
I feel like I've hit a brick wall. What could be causing these sporadic delays to calls to SQL Server?
I've noticed lately that my queries through ADO/VB are taking alot longer to process at certain times. The query and the result information never changes, only that at certain times the query takes alot longer than usual. I thought that I possibly need more licenses, or it might be network traffic. I currently use MS SQL Server 2000 small business Ed(5 Cals).
Has anyone any information about performance problems due to licensing issues?
1)I usually connect to my remote server via TS using a specific login (it belong to Admins) and through that user I open my SSIS projects (30 packages). Now, I have a new user and the same operation take a long time and I don't know why (same permissions) the reasons for this big delay.
2)When I'm gonna to press "Delete all Breakpoints" from Debug menu BIDS is closed. Previously appears a Microsoft dialog (Microsoft has encountered an error...) asking if you inform or not of these errors.
Hi , On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that "Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"

I had SQL Server working without a problem on my laptop until I changed the identification name of my laptop to make it more recognisable when I connect to a LAN. However, since I've changed my laptops name, my local SQL Server service wont run and I cant connect to my local databases. I can connect to remote SQL Servers though. If I change my laptops name back to what it was before, it still doesnt work. This has happened in the past and the only way I could solve the problem then was to uninstall SQL Server 7, remove all registry keys referring to it then reinstall it. I dont want to do all that again so....HELP!!!???! I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give me. Please email me at adrianmhills@hotmail.com

Has anyone experienced timeouts connecting to SQL 2K from a client and also the server console itself. Typically this error occurs on the client: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error `80040e14` OLE/DB provider returned message: Timeout expired conn_info.asp, line 444
Hello everyone, I am experiencing problems connecting to me database from my App. I had created this database and my application that calls all the stored procedures at my old work place. I had then moved it all to my home machine. When I open my connection, I get the error saying, "SQL Server is not available or access is denied"! I have added aspnet user to the users group in the SQL Server, disabled my firewall, made sure that physically in the server view I am able to get to the tables inside of the IDE....but to no success. I have been stuck on this for over two days and need serious help from someone.
Kindly let me know of the reasons and troubleshooting methods for this problem.
Couple of questions for the SQL Server Guru's out there.
SQLServer 2005 Web Hosting Provider
Ok I am developing a Web application in ASP.NET with AJAX, etc. etc. It will be some time before it is ready to roll out. As a mockup I created the same application in Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (VS 2008), which I can link the tables to the hosting provider on the internet. Works very well and speed is very acceptable.
My question is, is how secure is the data that is moving from the local application to SQLServer 2005 with the web hosting provider ? Is there anything that I can do to increase security ?
I am using SQL server 2005 sp1 to work with my applications... and i am using ODBC connection to communicate with SQL serrver...
The connectivity has been working fine for more than a 6 months now .... and suddenly it thows an error ...
"General network error. Check your network documentation.ConnectionRead (recv())."
There about 10 applications accessing SQL server... and all the applications throws this same error...
I intially thought it migjht be bacuase some applications are over utilizing the SQL connection and not closing them properly... but i noticed the connection opened in the Activity monitor are the same as it supposed to be ... no extra unwanted connection opened...
I also noticed that SQLserver.exe process is utilizing almost all the RAM memory and trying to allocate more page memory.... so i restarted the SQL sever service and that reinstated all the connectivity properly....
in couple of days .... the memory utilization again reached the max and this problem started again and i had to restart the SQL server again... and this problem happens every 2 days...
I know SQL server is using up those memory for caching purpose which is normal... but Y would this cause the connectivity to fail...
Is it a problem in SQL server 2005 SP1 ... shd i upgrade it to SP2?
If some of my application is causing this how would i narrow it down to that application and pin point on that particular one?
The thrown error does not have much information for it to guide me in a direction for debugging...
Hello all, I am hoping this is the correct place for this. I have an application that depends on an active connection to Sql Server Express 2005. I am looking for a way is any to check for the existance ofthe server I defined and wether it is online or not. I know I can just catch the error on connection but it takes a bit and I have customers trying to cancel it before it's finished because they think it's locked up. I would like a quick way to check without trying to create a connection if it's online, then if it is, proceed, if not, let the customer know. I was hoping for something like a database server ping of sorts.
I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!
I have an application which is under development in VS 2005 but the database is in SQL Server 2000. We are facing some strange problem with the connectivity between VS 2005 - SQL Server 2000. I have tried all the possible ways or solutions i found when searching in google but unable to find a solution.This had become a major challenge for us now to identifiy the root cause of the problem
