Upgraded To SQL Server 2005. Updates No Longer Work. Error Could Not Find Server 'DEVDB' In Sysservers. Execute Sp_addlinkedse
Feb 28, 2006
Hello!
We just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000. The DB was backed up using Enterprise Manager and restored with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. Everything went as expected (no errors, warnings, or any other indicator of problems).
The DB resides in a DB Server (Server1) and the application we are running is a Client/Server system where the AppServer resides on Server2.
During the application's operation all read, create, and delete transactions work fine but no update works. When viewing details in Trace Log I see this message after attempting any update:
Could not find server 'Server1' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers. (7202)
I upgraded my XP and when attempting to restart my web site using MSSQL 2005 my login credentials were not recognised. Now, the Databse does not want to start and I can not login to check error logs. I have enclosed the error message that I am experiencing.
Can anybody please help.
Regards

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

a different scenario leads to the same problem, the error message: Could not find "Standby" in sysservers. Run "sp_addlinkedserver" to add the server to sysservers"
I browsed the thread for the same error message and the solution doesn't applies to me. Here is my system settings. we have a kind of backup system. a primary server is set up to copy the database files to a standby server. when the primary is off, the standby server will take over primary's name and ip. and our application runs on the standby as if in the primary. in both machine the odbc connection are set to point the primary server.
this setup works well in SQL server 2000 for both primary and standby servers, but it gives the error message on SQL 2005 in the standby server. I noticed that this is because the application opens an empty table. after inserting a record by hand, the error has gone away.
I know it doesn't make too much sense, but it 's what I observed. Could anyone give me some input how could this happens and what' s the solution?
I'm getting the following message from a VB6 program running ADO...
It will process a job then I get the message.... [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find server 'FLDB1' in syssservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers...
This started to happen after I moved the db from SS2000 to SS2005...
Our db server and sql server instance on that server are both named 'FLDB1'... Do I need to run the above execute sp_addlinkedserver command on the new 2005 server?
I have SQL SERVER 2005 with SP2 on windows XP professional.
When I execute DROP PROCEDURE manually,it works. However when I execute inside a loop made using static cursors, it generates following error "Could not find server 'drop procedure dbo' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers."
OR it gives this error "Could not find stored procedure"
Hi, I understand from previous threads that installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on the desktop client can speed up the response rate of the Visual Studio 2005 Business Intelligence Tools.
However after logging on as an administrator and installing Service Pack 2, Service Pack 2 returned no errors. However after launching Visual Studio and clicking on the about dialog box the version reported was still €œRTM.050727-4200€? where I was expecting to see €œSP.050727-7600€?.
I understood that I applied the same service pack to my copy of SQL Server on my laptop and the upgrade worked successfully.
I just did a 2005 "In-Place" upgrade to a 2000 server yesterday, and now we're getting intermittant time-out errors trying to connect via SQL Server Management Studio. Sometimes we connect instantly, then if I try again 10 minutes later, it might time-out. No problems with our other 4 SQL 2005 servers (2 were just upgraded, 2 are native 2005). No timeouts so far when logged on to the server directly, just when logging in from our desks.
It's set to TCPIP only (removed named pipes), but can't think what else might be the problem. Any ideas ?
One little thing I just noticed while comparing to another server: In the console, a "good" server has the little green arrow on the server & SQL Agent icons, while the "problem" server is connected, but there is no green arrow. If I log on the server directly and open SQL, I get the green arrows. Is that trying to tell me something about the connection ??
Problem Summary: Merge Statement takes several times longer to execute than equivalent Update, Insert and Delete as separate statements. Why?
I have a relatively large table (about 35,000,000 records, approximately 13 GB uncompressed and 4 GB with page compression - including indexes). A MERGE statement pretty consistently takes two or three minutes to perform an update, insert and delete. At one extreme, updating 82 (yes 82) records took 1 minute, 45 seconds. At the other extreme, updating 100,000 records took about five minutes.When I changed the MERGE to the equivalent separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements (embedded in an explicit transaction) the entire update took only 17 seconds. The query plans for the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements look very similar to the query plan for the combined MERGE. However, all the row count estimates for the MERGE statement are way off.
Obviously, I am going to use the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements. The actual query plans for the four statements ( combined MERGE and the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE ) are attached. SQL Code to create the source and target tables and the actual queries themselves are below. I've also included the statistics created by my test run. Nothing else was running on the server when I ran the test.
Server Configuration:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition 3 x Quad-Core Xeon Processor Max Degree of Parallelism = 8 148 GB RAM
SQL Code:
Target Table: USE TPS; IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.ParticipantResponse') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.ParticipantResponse;
Database 'C:INETPUBDEMO.TRUTHSTONE.COMAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'. Hi, Strange one. I have copied my working web-site to the production server and get this message. Tried copying new set of database files and reset the server to ensure no applications could be accessing the database files. Still get the same error. Works fine on my Visual Studio VWD Express version.
Mitch PS I am not trying to upgrade the database, just use it!
I have been working for a few weeks on a local SQL server (express) on my computer all worked ok, until 2 days ago I got the following error message:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Where can I find the setting for remote connections? Also any idea why this happened?
I have encountered an error (as shown below) when attempting to install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition 9.00.1399.06 on on my XP SP2 pc.

I have a program in VB.NET 2003 where I have query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM master..sysservers WHERE srvname = '" & strServerName & "'". This program copies data from .MDF file to another .MDF file. This query is written since I have created linked server.
Issue 1: But now I to copy data from .SDF (SQL Server Mobile Edition) to desktop .MDF file. For this I cannot fire the above query on .SDF file. What is the other alternative?
Issue 2: In the existing prgram that copies data from .MDF to .MDF, I have created linked server. Can I do the same with mobile edition?
I'm using MS SQLEXPRESS 2005. Everyting worked fine: I could connect to it from Access and VS 2005. After updates (SQLEXPRESS SP2) I can't connect to it. Error:

When one process has one record locked in Update-Mode then an other process can't update any other records on that table with some queries, other queries that access the same records (but with a different WHERE statement) will execute. This problem occurs with SQL Server 2005, but it didn't with SQL Server 2000 (or any other database).
The problem: -Process 1 locks a record in the table, and keeps it in Update-Mode, because the user is editing it. (Using OLEDB Pessimistic Cursor-locking) -Process 2 wants to update an other record, buts gets a "Lock timeout" when using one query but not with another.
For example this query will work : UPDATE gwseqnumber SET nextseqnr = 3 WHERE row_id = 110;
But this qeury will give me a "Lock timeout" : UPDATE gwseqnumber SET nextseqnr = 3 WHERE name = 'REC_2';
But it is the same record!! The record with name = 'REC_2' has the row_id = 110, both values are unique in the table.
The data: The table [gwseqnumber] has the following CREATE statement: CREATE TABLE GWSEQNUMBER ( NEXTSEQNR INTEGER, NAME CHAR (20), ADMINISTRATIONCODE INTEGER, FINDHIGHESTNUMBER CHAR (1), CLOSEDYN CHAR (1), ROW_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL );
CREATE INDEX KEY_1 ON GWSEQNUMBER (NEXTSEQNR); CREATE UNIQUE KEY_2 ON GWSEQNUMBER (ADMINISTRATIONCODE, NAME, IDENTIFIER); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX KEY_3 ON GWSEQNUMBER (ROW_ID);
Both KEY_2 and KEY_3 are unique, KEY_1 is not.
If I remove the index on the NEXTSEQNR column (the index named KEY_1) then both these queries will work, so it is obviously related to the index. Altough the index is obsolete and can be removed from this table, it should not result in bogus locking errors.
Even when i removed the index not all the queries will work. (With work i mean not run into a locking error, while the record is not even locked.)
Solutions tried: - Set the compaitiblity level of the databsae back to 80 (for SQL Server 2000 compatibility). - I have already tried to disable Page-Locking on all the indexes of this table.
So why does the index lock my updates in SQL Server 2005? And how do i fix it so my database does not run into these locks?
I'm currently running Windows Vista x64 and SQL server 2005 on an HP laptop with a AMD Turion 64 processor. I've install all of the Windows Vista x64 update so far with no issues. However, I'm unable to install SQL server 2005 SP2 via Windows updates.
I was able to successfully download the service pack with no issues and it is currenly on my machine ready to install. The system does take a check prior to the install process beginning to perform the install.
I continuely get and "Error Code A91" when the install process is running. As a result the install does not complete successfully. When I used the "Get Help" option I get a list of possible error conditions but none of them seem be useful. I checked each one and none of them provide any help with a solution.
I've successful installed SP2 on Vista x32 system with no problem. Is this a "Windows Update" issue?

I am getting the error "Could not find server 'bmf' in sysservers. Executive sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers" when running the following script. if I remove the last bit of the FROM statement (i.e. bmf.dbo.activities.activity_desc actdesc2) then the script runs fine. I'm confused as the same server and DB are being referenced elsewhere in the FROM part of the script.
I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate
1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL 2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL
Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.
When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".
So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account. The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:
"create failed for login laptopuser
An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy' http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time! And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy. I just simply could NOT get it to work. You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question: Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection? - NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO ) Then select the tables you want in the DataSet. and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there. Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets, (a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database) the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets. YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM. Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks, Barry G. Sumpter

Developing Windows Forms with 101 Samples for Visual Basic 2005 using the DataGridView thru code and every development wizard I can find within vb.net unless otherwise individually stated within a thread.
We recently upgraded from sql 2000 to sql server 2005. Our system was developed using Microsoft visual Basic. Since we upgraded to sql server 2005 our system has been very slow. I suspect that it was because of the new sql 2005 installation that i made. Does anyone know how to solve this problem for me to be able to increase the perfomance speeed of our system again. It has been stressing me for a while now.
I am moving my site to a host that has SQL Server 2005. I am pretty goodwith Access, but I don't know much about SQL Server.I'm currently using SQL Server 2000, and I access it with Access 2000, whichmeans I can't do a lot.Would I be able to work in it using SAL Server Express? What I amparticularly interested in, is being able to run queries (views).I need to update stock every day. If I was using Access I would import orlink the new stock table, and then join the 2 tables by the product number -(the product table and the new stock table), and pull the records where thestock amounts were different, then copy the column from the stock table tothe product table (or do an update query, although copying is usuallyquicker and easier).I would do that, not just for stock amounts, but for price changes, to adddescriptions, and a few other things.How can I do that in SQL Server 2005? What program do I need to have on mydesktop to do that?Please explain in baby terms, if possible!Thanks!
