Server Alias On Configure Manager Necessary?

Jun 3, 2015

so you have two place to configure alias, in SQL server configuration manager under aliases tab on and on the cliconfg.exe tool on a different machine. If I want another server to see this sql server by the alias name I will need to configure the alias on the cliconfg tool on the client machine. It looks like as long as I have the alias configured in the cliconfg on the client machine, I don't need the alias to exist on the config manager, the client can still see SQLserver using just the alias on cliconfg...if so, I wondering under what situation I would really need the alias on the configuration manager?

Can Create Alias Server1DBInstance1 On Server3DBInstance3 And Assign Objects To That Alias

Nov 24, 2015

We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server.  Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects?  Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2?  Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too?  Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?

Server Alias

May 13, 2004

how to add a alias to a server?
I have gone through BOL where it says it can be done thru right click agent -->> connections and configure alias.
i want to know if i configure a alias to a server from a client is it valid for other connections also?
meaning there are two database servers A and B
i add alias to server A by using client network utilities on server B,
then is this alias available if i try to connect to the server A thro some other server c?
hope this is not that confusing as it sounds. ;)

How To Use Alias In SQL Server?

Mar 17, 2008



Is there any way to refer to an Alias in a select statement? For example, if I create an expression that sums to fields together and give it the alias TOTAL, and then in another field I want to create and other expresssion that multiplies a field by TOTAL, what is the syntax?

In MS Access the Alias name is surrounded by brackets, but I can't seem to find a way to do this with SQL Server.

Thanks

Server Alias?

Dec 24, 2007

We have a SQL 2000 installation on a server called SATURN that has been around for a while. We've installed a new SQL 2005 installation on a server called DEIMOS. Our intention is to move all the databases that are currently on SATURN, to DEIMOS.

I've just been looking at the config settings, and it's suddenly occurred to me that the ability to set Server Aliases might save me quite a bit of work. What I'm thinking is setting a new alias on DEIMOS called SATURN. Then I won't need to go round the various applications changing the connection properties.

So:


Does this sound reasonable?
I intend uninstalling SQL 2000 from SATURN, but the server itself will stay - is that ok?
What will happen if SQL comes alive on the server SATURN while the alias is in place - effectively there will be 2 servers responding to SATURN. I ask this because my intention is to shut down all the SQL services on SATURN, set up the alias, and once I'm happy with the testing, then uninstall. Just wondering what will happen if for some reason the services were restarted before I finish.
Is there anything else I need to consider?Regards,
Tim

Sql Server + Alias Name In Where Condition

Dec 1, 2007

Today I found a problem with alias name during retrieving values from database table with alias name. My query was like as following:  
========================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityFrom tblEmployeeWhere EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
When I execute this query I get all the record which contains the N% in EmpName as well as from FirstName. As you know that should not because I give alias name EmpName to EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirst. But here the problem is we cannot use the alias name in Where condition.
I resolve this problem by using #temp table like the following:=======================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityInto #tmpEmployeeFrom tblEmployee
Select * from #tmpEmployee where EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
It really very simple, isn’t it? You can use the reference link:Reference: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread82710.html
So friends enjoy, we are the Sql Master:)Regards,Vijay Modi

I am moving my Sql Server installation to a larger machine. In doing so, I don't want to change everyone's connection settings. Does anyone see any issues with using an DNS alias to connect to the new server?

Using the same name is not an option per the windows admin group that is provisioning the machine.

Using A Server Alias In Connection Mgr

Oct 6, 2006

Hi,

In DTS 2000 when you created a connection you could use a server alias (as created in the network client utility) as the servername. When I try to use a server alias in connection mgr(I am using Native Client) it fails to connect with the standard error: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired. etc etc...

Has anyone had success using a server alias? (Yes i set up the alias using sql configuration mgr)

The problem I am trying to solve is I have dev/test/production environments that I want to move this package to and I don't want to have to change any server name properties within the package when moving to the different environments.

Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Could Not Connect To Server Using Alias

Feb 17, 2015

I had two servers, in which SQL Servers are installed. I created a alias for server

Server 1 : test1.sqlcloud.com (Alias name with port no other than 1433)
Server 2 : test2.sqlcloud.com (Alias name with port no other than 1433)

I can connect to the servers using the port. for ex server1 to server2 and viceversa using "test2.sqlcloud.com,port". But I could not connect to the server by only specifying the alias name ("test2.sqlcloud.com"). When I am connecting I am getting the following error.

"TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to test2.sqlcloud.com.

------------------------------

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=21020; handshake=0; (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2)

Server Alias/linked Server ALWAYS Uses A Distributed Query?

Apr 4, 2008



Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.

If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).

Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.

It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?

If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!

I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.

Thanks
Sean

SQL 2012 :: Using Alias For SSAS Server Connection

Jul 14, 2015

I know how to create an alias for a SQL server instance, so instead of MyServerMyInstanceName, I can type MyInstanceName into my SSMS connection box. But SSAS does not allow me to connect with the alias.

I've looked all over and found plenty of documentation that SQL 2005 and 2008 doesn't allow the use of instance aliases for SSAS. I've even found notes from Microsoft saying "we'll fix this in a future edition." I have not found any indications or notes as to whether or not this has been fixed.

Can aliases be created for 2012 SSAS? Or is this still not available?

SQL Server 2012 :: UPDATE Using Table Alias

Sep 21, 2015

I have some stored procedures that do updates using table aliases, like this:

UPDATE TableAlias
SET ColVal = 1
FROM RealTable AS TableAlias
WHERE TableAlias.ColVal <> 1

This allows me to include joins and stuff in the update (not shown) and make it all more readable for me.

It all works fine, and the SSMS parser says it's fine. But I also have another script which looks at sys.sql_expression_dependencies and sys.objects to find stored procedures with invalid object references (see below), and it's understandably saying that all of the above type stored procedures have invalid references.

SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(DEP.referencing_id) AS referencing_name,
DEP.referenced_entity_name
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies AS DEP
WHERE
-- Only validate local references:
(
DEP.referenced_database_name = DB_NAME()

[Code] ....

So I have a couple questions.

1. Is the UPDATE syntax I'm using kosher?
2. Can you recommend any updates to my stored procedure validation script that will better accommodate table aliases like mine?

DB Engine :: Using Kerberos Authentication With Server Alias

Jul 30, 2015

I use DNS alias to access my database server:

server name is -> SRV100
DNS Alias is -> SQLPROD

I've noticed that, using Windows authentication, if I connect to the server using its server name, the DB Engine uses Kerberos authentication scheme (as it is supposed to do) but if I use Kerberos authentication, I see that the DB Engine uses the NTLM authentication

scheme
select client_net_address,auth_scheme from sys.dm_exec_connections 

I need to use DNS alias to connect to my server and I want to use Kerberso auth scheme.

Transact SQL :: Self Linked Server For Purpose Of Alias?

Oct 2, 2015

basically, we have two databases, one with fix name, eg. DB1 in all environments, and another is named with prefix based on environment, eg. DB2_DEV, DB2_TEST, that is generated by some managed application. 

Then we have queries or view/SPs residing in the first database, eg. DB1 that access database resources from the second database, DB2_***. Both databases are residing in the same SQL instance.

Currently, we have hardcoded the database name in the query but would prefer not to manually rename or write other scripts to update the query with the correct database name when deploying to other environments.

For example:

SELECT * FROM DB2_DEV.dbo.vAccounts
When deploy to TEST, we need to update the query to:
SELECT * FROM DB2_TEST.dbo.vAccounts

So, I looked at Synonyms but it seems it can only create 'alias' for tables or views, and not database.

Hence, last thought is to create self linked server, so I can write my query like below and setup the linked server accordingly.

SELECT * FROM SRCDB.dbo.vAccounts

Any consideration to think of, eg. performance, security, etc?

SQL 2012 :: Can't Access Linked Server When Connecting Via Alias

May 27, 2014

As a database developer, I have so many databases that I "own" scattered across various servers that it''s getting difficult to remember where all of my databases reside. It doesn't work that the DBAs have taken to some very hard to remember server naming conventions.

I was going to create aliases via the configuration manager, but it turns out the DBAs overwrite my entries each night with THEIR aliases and they won't add any for my use.

So I decided to simply add some records to my host file so that instead of having to connect to "SERVER-AD_DADF-DAFDASS" I can just use "CustomerA".

This solution seems to work until I tried to access a linked server. If I connect to the main server via it's actual name, I can hit the remote/linked server with no issue. However, if I connect to the main server using it's alias, connection to the remote/linked server fails with: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.

The linked server is set up to use current security context and I'm not logging into the alias any differently that I do when using the actual server name.

Cannot Configure Server As A Distributor

Jun 7, 2000

Hi all,

I'm having a problem configuring one of my SQL servers
as a distributor. I've done it successfully on another
server, so I know that it's nothing procedural and there
must be an issue with the way the server is set up.
When I click 'finish' on the Configure Publication and
Distribution Wizard, I get the following error message:

Enterprise Manager could not configure 'ABEL' as the
distributor for 'ABEL'.

Error 20017: Cannot add the remote distributor at this time.
Make sure that the local server is configured as a Distribution
Publisher at the Distributor.


Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm fairly new
to SQL Server, so feel free to explain things in a
condescending manner. ;-)

Configure SQL Server 2000 In SAN.

Nov 28, 2003

Our company is going to use SAN (HP or EMC or Fuji) for SQL Server failover rather than MSCS. So far, DBA has no knowledge of SAN.

Would you please to tell me, how does SAN depend on SQL Server? I assume SAN software can make disk failover if there is a network, disk or OS failure in primary node. If SQL Server or SQL Agent is failure, can SAN software detect it? (or can SAN disk failover depend on SQL Server or SQL Agent services?)

Please let me know where can I find any configuration document regarding SAN for SQL Server failure. I had spent 2 days in HP and EMC wrbsite and found nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving.
