I'm trying to do an Ad Hoc connection to a Progress database from SQL query Analyzer. I have successfully created a DataDirect ODBC connection and I can access the progress database tables through Excel. However, I can't get it working in SQL.
I need to pull in data from a progress database into a table in SQL server 2005. I have an ODBC conncetion on the server where I am working.
I am new to SSIS but have used DTS. I need to succsefully pull the data into a table in SQL server 2005 from this progress database.
I have setup my ODBC connection but I cannot pull the data using this connection. The connection test succeeded for the connection manager. When I attempt to use the datasource reader and point to the ODBC Connection Manager entry I recieve Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run time connection manager
Our database crashed this morning and went into recovery mode.how I can track the progress of the recovery to determine how long it might take?The error log shows that it started up all the databases, then shows the recovery messages fr the msdb database, then shows that sql server is ready for client connections. I don't see any messages about my database recovery or the number of transactions to roll forward or background. If i run the sys.sp_readerrorlog and search for my database name, the only line returned is the starting up database message.
I do expect the database to take a while to recovery as it is about 8TB, there is plenty of free disk space about 3TB.The database started recovery while a transaction log backup was running so that backup failed,the last transaction log backup was taken 2 hours before recovery started. The last full backup completed about 5 days ago. The transaction log backup occurs every 2 hours and is typically around 16GB.
I'm having trouble using a Progress database as a source. I have an OpenLink driver installed and a System DSN set up. I can successfully test the connection. I added this DSN to the connection manager and added it to a DataReader Source. I then added the SQLCommand property. I was able to map columns and such, so I believe the SQLCommand was successfully parsed. However, when I try to save the DataReader Source, I get an error:     Â
Error at Data Flow Task [DataReader Source [2266]]: System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [HY010] [OpenLink][ODBC][Driver]Function sequence error   at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.HandleError(OdbcHandle hrHandle, RetCode retcode)   at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader.NextResult()   at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader.Close()   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipleline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.ReinitializeMetaData()   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipleline.ManagedComponentHost.HostReinitialieMetaData(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper)
The project I´m working needs to import data from a Progress Database. I had configured my ODBC (MERANT 3.60 32-BIT Progress SQL92 v9.1D) driver and everything seems to be ok.
But when I tried to create a DataRearder Source pointing to my ODBC Data Source, and open the next tab I received this error message:
€œError at Data Flow Task [DataReader Soucer [135]]: Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection manager€?
we have a reporting database that needs to be refreshed every week. I normally get a big backup file (50GB) from our business partner very Sunday morning; I have setup a job to restore the database once I got the backup file. The restore job normally will take about 4 or 5 hours to finish, but sometime it may take much longer (more than 10 hours). We knew there is some kind of disk storage contention going on the SAN. When this problem happens the system guy always try to pick my db restore process to be the victim. I hate to kill a job when it has 90% done, but I have no way to tell the restore progress status. Does someone know if I can query database restore progress information from any DMVs?
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
I am trying to open and query a Microsoft Access "like" database from SQL Server 2000 using OpenDataSource. This will work for a little while, but if I am to update my ASP.NET code base I have to completely reboot the machine for these queries to work again. I also have two reboot the machine periodically because this functionality decides to crap out. I am doing this from a stored procedure. My code looks like this:DECLARE @SelectCode varchar(5000)SET @SelectCode ='SELECT CONVERT(varchar, Value) AS UnitName FROMOPENDATASOURCE(''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ''Data Source = "' + @Path + @DataFile + '.fcd";User ID=Admin;Password=;'')...Properties WHERE Property LIKE ''UnitName'''EXEC(@SelectCode)Now, when I am developing on my local machine that uses Windows Authentication, I have absolutely no problems, unless the source file has a schema error.Any ideas?
Hi all, In a select sql statement, I have to query 2 databases from 2 different servers. The only way I found to do this, is to call OPENDATASOURCE like this :<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:bdConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table1] t1 left join OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx').dbname.dbo.table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id"> </asp:SqlDataSource>My question is the following :Is there a way to connect to the second server without using the full server declaration into the sql statement ? For information, the server connection is already declare into my web.config like that :<add name="bdConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />so is there a way to use 'bdConnectionString2' directly ?If not, is there a way to connect to the second server without entering informations like User ID and Password ? My problem being that I'm not sure it's safe to send this informations directly from the asp.net page. Thank you
To delete records in tableA which is not found in tableB i am using the following : DELETE tableA from tableA aa left join tableB bb on aa.fld = bb.fld where bb.fld is null ** This will work fine ** but if i Use similer but using OPENDATASOURCE , like this:
delete OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source="c: empdata2004.mdb"; User ID="Admin";Password="";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="lea"')...tableA from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source="c: empdata2004.mdb"; User ID="Admin";Password="";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="lea"')...tableA aa left join tableB bb on aa.lno=ba.lno where b.lno is null
begin select @datasource = 'Data Source="c:/' +@FOLDERNAME +'/' +@FILENAME +'";User ID=;Password=;Extended properties=Excel 5.0' select * into #excel_table from OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @DATASOURCE)...sheet1$ end
need to do this ... but using variables in opendatasource not allowed.
so how do we go about it
What i need to do is allow upload of any excel file ... may contain errors and then perform some checks on the data before putting it into another table with a fixed structure.
I need to read a tables in an acess database. The access database has no user/password. All the examples of openrowset show a userid and password. How do I read access table without them?
I have written a stored procedure which extracts job history from all our servers using the OPENDATASOURCE function using NT authentication.
It's works fine when the stored procedure is called from Query Analyser, however I want it to be called hourly so are calling it from a SQL agent job.
I have set the job to run as myself, and the owner is myself, but the procedure fails when trying to connect to the first server, giving the error :-
"Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. about to query : aadmin01 [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18452). The step failed."
It doesn't seem to be able to make the NT authenticated connection when the OPENDATASOURCE function is called from within the context of a SQL agent job.
I know a solution may be to use a regular SQL login for the OPENDATASOURCE calls, but this means hard-coding passwords into the stored procedure - I'd read this is bad practice.
Does anyone know if OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET can be called via NT authentication, rather than with a SQL Login? If so, what would be the correct syntax to use?
I am able to successfully run a opendatasource query against a flat file from SQL Server. However the problem I am facing is that the resultset that is returned has a line as one column and one row ... is there any way i can get the opendatasource query to recognize tabs as column seperators ????
Hi folks.I'm trying to connect to a Medisoft Advantage SQL db through SQL Serverusing OpenDataSource or OpenRowSet. I have general connections to the dbworking fine, but not with OpenDataSource or OpenRowSet.I've tried variations on:select * fromOpenDataSource('Advantage OLE DB Provider','Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;User ID=user;Password=password;Advantage Server Type=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;')...MWPATWhich gives:OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Advantage OLE DB Provider'IColumnsInfo::MapColumnIDs returned 0x80040e21: [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_CATALOGORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_SCHEMA ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_NAMEORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_TYPE ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_GUIDORDINAL=-1]].I've also tried:select * fromOpenrowset('Advantage OLE DB Provider','Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;UserID=user;Password=password;Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;Advantage ServerType=ADS_REMOTE_SERVER',MWPAT)and 'Select * from MWPAT'.These last yield:[OLE/DB provider returned message: No Data Source specified]which seems closer.Can anyone help? I think this is all Advantage-specific. I've posted ontheir boards, but their not very active...Thanks.David
I would like to create a stored procedure that imports an Excel file toa sql server table. I need to be able to pass the path to thespreadsheet to the stored procedure like so:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ImportSpreadsheet(@Path nvarchar(120))ASSELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ' + @Path + ';Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I will call the stored procedure from within my .NET application andpass it the path as @Path. The path will be chosen by the user at runtime and will be something similar toC:SpreadsheetsAudits.xls.I can make this run in the Query Analyzer:SELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ''C:SpreadsheetsAudits.xlsAudit_TC.xls'';Extend edProperties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I could run the SQL directly from my app, but I like to use storedprocs whenever I can for the speed and flexibility. I can change thestored proc and not have to recompile/reinstall the app.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to update feilds in a local table from a remote table using the following: update schema.table1 set acc = r.acc, add = r.add from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=user;Password=mypw').db.schema.table1 as R, schema.table1 as L where R.acc = L.acc
When run from Query Analyser, it fails with: Could not find server '"db"."schema"."table1" in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
On both servers, the database, schema and table names are the same.
Running SQL2K SP4 on both servers. Don't want to set up linked servers, as they will only connect on a scheduled basis to perform updates.
Other queries such as insert work, as well as update OPENDATASOURCE( . . .) set x=L.x from schema.table where . . . so it's a prob with the From clause of the update.
Am I missing something, or is what I'm trying to do just not possible?
I have the following T-SQL commands which run without errors:
select Description_Text from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)}; DefaultDir=D:Import;','select * from company_finance.csv')
select Description_Text from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=D:Import;Extended Properties="Text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"')...company_finance#csv
When I run either command on our TEST server, all the text in the fields retrieved is returned, but when I run on our PRODUCTION server, all fields are truncated to 255 characters. The source file company_finance.csv is identical on both servers. Both servers have the same O/S (Win 2K Server), same version of SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (2.71). I cannot figure out if the problem is on the SQL Server side, or has something to do with some registry settings or something else, but both the Text Driver and the Jet drivers produce the similar results on each servers. Are there some config settings in SQL Server or in the registry I can look at to determine why the truncation is occurring? Help!
I want to use an input parameter as my filename, but I get a synataxerror message. Howerve, when I hard code the filename the proc compilessuccessfully.Thanks for any help. I'm using SQL Server 2005LTR_90,LTI_ELIG_pct,LTI_REC_pct,LOW_SALARY,HIGH_SALARY FROM OPENDATASOURCE("Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0","Data Source=C:inetpubwwwrootORC_Beta_Companies"' + @infilename +'"Extended Properties=Excel 8.0")...[summary_data$]Syntax message:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, ProcedureimportExcelSpreadSheetIntoeNavigator_DataORC, Line 244Incorrect syntax near 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
Version 2000.How do I do something like the exampleSELECT *FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source="c:Financeaccount.xls";User ID=Admin;Password=;Extendedproperties=Excel 5.0')...xactionsbut use a .txt-file instead ?I tried building it using Access (that usually works :-) ) and that gives aconnectionstring of:Text;DSN=LinkSammenkædningsspecifikation;FMT=Delimited;HDR=NO;I MEX=2;CharacterSet=850;DATABASE=c: empSourcetablename=link.txtbut I can't seem to "massage" it into working on the sql-server.If I quick and dirty swap 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' with 'Text' it giveserror:Could not locate registry entry for OLE DB provider 'Text'.tia/jim
The following SQL appears to run successfully: Update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=******').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY set STARTDTTM = L.STARTDTTM,ENDDTTM = L.ENDDTTM,CLOSED = L.CLOSED, CASHEDUP = L.CASHEDUP,CASHINTILL = L.CASHINTILL,CHEQUESINTILL = L.CHEQUESINTILL, EPSALES = L.EPSALES,EPCUTORETURN = L.EPCUTORETURN,REPFLAG = R.REPFLAG from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=******;Password=*****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY AS R inner join TSADMIN.SALESDAY as L on R.SALESDAYID = L.SALESDAYID where L.REPFLAG = 1
However, all records in the remote table get updated if there are any records satisfying the REPFLAG clause, if more than 1 then I guess the last record in the source set.
Running the same SQL against 2 tables in the local DB works perfectly.
These are both MSDE V8.00.2039 SP4 connecting via RAS dial up.
Any ideas where to focus my attention will be gratefully received
Thanks
<EDIT> Haven't solved the issue, but staggered around it. I have simply reversed the tables in the SQL and executed at the remote server instead, so it is updating a local table while getting data from a remote table. This functions as it should. Any clues to the above would still be good tho' - cheers <END EDIT>
While trying to insert data into existing XLS file, using below command, i am getting following error.

I have some SP's I run once a month and each SP takes a few mins to run and when I batch em together in one shot, I hate sitting there waiting for them to finish whats the easiest way to report back the status of the exec?
I am having a problem backing up a customer database to tape. The progress bar just sits there with no movement. I have even left it running overnight and nothing the next day I am able to backup all other databases (master, msdb, model). Any help would be appreciated.
Our ERP uses a Progress db but several of our web apps are developed in vb.Net and use a SQL backend. I need to pull some data in from Progress using TSQL queries.
Experimenting a little I find that a simple query, i.e. from 1 Progress table, takes anywhere from 20 seconds to a couple of minutes. However, when I joined on a 2nd table, I had to cancel the query after it ran for over 10 minutes.
SQL server is connected to Progress via a Linked server.
Any advice on improving the query will be appreciated.
I believe the query has to be in the T-SQL syntax; is that right? Where does the translation into Progress syntax occur?
