A couple of us are trying to use the SQL Server 2005 Virtual labs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/ . We complete all the prelim steps successfully but when we click on "Start the Lab" we get a blank page with "No Connection" in the middle. The clock ticks and the system thinks we are doing the lab. How can we get a connection? or is the server down? or are there no available resources left?
When using jdbc with IntegratedSecurity, I run into this problem when the machine is not part of a domain & gets its IP address via dhcp. Is this expected behavior or a bug in the jdbc driver.
The SQLServer and client application are installed on the same machine and a local admin is logged in, running the client app.
If I change one of the two parameters mentioned above, the connection can be established leading me to believe this may be intentional for security issues. Am I correct?
Hi,Just recently I am getting the following error when trying to connect to an SQL DB: Exception has been thrown by target of an invocation. This happens even if I create a new website/solution. Procedure I use:open server explorer and click on create a new connectionchoose SQL server from the listenter my IP address and credentials, click on test and everything is fine. When I go to select the DB the dropdown box is empty, if I type in my database name and click on ok I get the following message:Exception has been thrown by target of an invocationI know it is nothing to do with SQL or credentials as I can create a datasource to my SQL server using my colleagues computer!I have removed VS 2005 from my computer and reinstalled only to be met with the same problem.reinstalling my computer is a last resort!Any ideas?Cheers, Ps, I can connect to my DB using VB code behind.
I have a simple FTP task that I am trying to connect to an FTP server. I can test the connection fine, however, when I try and execute the package from Visual Studio 2005 I get the "The Password was not allowed" message. I have found some threads that mention setting the protection level on the package to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, however, I still get the same message appearing.
Has anyone any idea as to what is causing this and how I can get around it
I am unable to send a message to a target service on a different SQL Server instance. Using the SQL Profiler, I get the following error from the target machine:
Broker::Connection: Connection handshake failed: An OS call failed: (80090326) 0x80090326(The message received was unexpected or badly formatted.). State 106.
On the initiator side, the transmission_status shows the following error:
An error occurred while receiving data: '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'.
Any ideas on why the target thinks the message is "unexpected or badly formatted"? Btw, I am specifying the default message type and contract for the services.
I am trying to set up a ODBC connection to a remote database using the ODBC data source administrator. I am getting an error message complaining of an invalid instance(). The database I am trying to connect to does have a default instance and a named instance. Do I need to specify the instance name somewhere in the connection settings? I tried specifying the server name as <Remote computer IP Address>/<Instance Name> but this didn't work. Any ideas?
I recently installed VB Studio Express 2008, which also installed SQL Server Compact Edition. I was going thro the online tutorial from Microsoft, which tells you to create a connection to the Northwind DB. But, when I tried to connect, I get an error message saying access is not allowed. Note that the is running under Vista Home Premium. I have tried searching for an answer to this question, but have not found an answer that solves my problem. The closest was a similar problem for a C# application running in Internet Explorer, and the answer for that one was to change security settings in IE. But, for this demo, IE was not involved.
I am trying to run eight SSIS packs from within Integration Services > Stored Packages > File System and seem to get an error like the following on all of them:
"Failed to acquire connection "MyConnection". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I can run the packages without error from within VS and from within that location in Integration Services on the machine containing the the databases, but when I attempt to run them remotely I get that error. I am attempting this with full admin access on both machines, but the purpose behind these packages is for our developers to run them on individual databases whenever they need to. So I'm concerned that I may run into further access errors after this, but so far I can't find a reason why this connection would fail. Any ideas?
If I can supply more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for any information!
I run SB between 2 SQL servers. In profiler on an initiator side I see next error: 'This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid'. For the conversation we use best practice, i.e. target closes a conversation. Target side succeed to close conversation, but initiator still stay in DO (disconnect_outbound). What is a reasone for the error? What to do?
I see in profiler this error: "This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid" What is a reason for error?
Can anyone give a quick description of the meaning of this message andwhat needs to be done to get a connection.I'm running DBArtisan with SQLServer 2000 client SP4 installed.I also get the same message with MS Enterprise Manager so this iscoming out of the actual ODBC connection attempt.Thanks in advance!
I am having trouble specifying a message body that is valid. I mean for the client to send. If I leave it as null then everything is ok but if I create a memorystream and add a line of text it reports back it did not pass validation. I do not understand this and am not sure what to do. I need to send a message based on a code and text but do not know the format of the body that is allowed. The code I am refering to comes out of HelloWord_CLR because that is what I am formating my sample after. I call it the same way it calls the return message done in ServiceProc. I need to know the message format including body since this does not seem to work. A sample of the call is bellow.
// Create an empty request message
string Msg = "Hello";
MemoryStream body = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Msg));
I have a SSIS package that is constantly running out of virtual memory, right now I am on a development server, running only this package. The package is moving data from one table into another on the same server in the same database. The server has 3 Gb of memory and is only running SS2005 and SSIS. I am a local admin on the server and running the package through BIDS, once again for our initial testing. I tried setting the property BufferTempStoragePath to our E drive so it can utilize the 100 Gb of free space we have but that doesn't seem to work either. I have also tried setting the MaxRowSize to many different values to no avail. I am constantly getting an error, see below for exact error, when it gets through roughly half the load. Moreover it reports this error about 500 times in the progress report if I let the package run to completion. Finally, when all is said and done the package has moved the data successfully but the package always shows as failing.
I have googled continuously on this problem but have not found a resolution. I did see on a post here where it was recommended to run the package out of process, however I don't see the benefit at this point when this is the only package I am running. I also don't understand why it would report the error so many times and fail the package when it is completing successfully? Source and Destination have the same number of records at the end of the task. Could someone please try to make sense of this.
Getting Error: [DTS.Pipeline] Information: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 4 buffers were considered and 4 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked
I have written an installer that creates an MS SQL Database, creates the necessary data tables and then imports the data into the data tables. All this works fine. I now need to copy the web pages to a directory on the users machine and then make the chosen directory a virtual directory so the user can call the pages in the usual way (http://localhost/mytestsite/index.html)
Would anyone know how to create a virtual directory using dos command line parameters. I have seen something using "IIsVdir.vbs" but I do not have this script file.
What is a virtual server?In my new job,my boss mentioned about moving the websites from a physical server to a virtual server.Why is this done or needed? Also he insists that I buy and install SQL server 2000 enterprise edition in my laptop and use the enterprise manager to access their server.Can't I just download the client tools from their SQL package and be able to access their server?Do I need a CAL or is it just enough to have a permission in their network for my laptop?

I have a sbs 2003 sp2 server running exchange 2003 sp2 it was running fine until one day I got this low virtual memory error, I checked the memory usage in the task manager and it is using 7 gigs of virtual memory, I increased the max size from 6 gigs to 8 gigs just to see what happens and now it is using 9 gigs of virtual memory. I don't have any clue as to what the problem is! Please Help!!!
I really need some help. This is what I'm trying to do: first of all, i have a PC running Vista. Now on that PC, i have a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 6, which has Win XP with SP2 installed on it. On the virtual machine, i have Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with SP2; now, the thing is, i have a program in C#, which is supposed to connect to a network, but since I'm running on just one PC which is not connected to a network, i instead connect to 127.0.0.1 via port 1433. Now here's where my problems start. At first, i could not connect because i kept receiving an error which said "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. (provedier: TCP provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)". A friend of my mine helped, so i did the following: i went into SQL Server Surface Area Configuration (configuration for localhost) , changed the remote connections to allow for both local and remote, using both TCP/IP and named pipes, restarted the database engine, started the SQL Server Browser; then i went to administrator tools, Data Sources (ODBC), and from System DSN tried to add an SQL Server. I gave it a name, and on the server textbox i tried typing "localhost", but doing so, i could not get past the next screen, (i did specify the port as 1433) where i have to chose between win nt and sql server authentication, and neither would work (even though i know the sa password and can log on to SQL Management Studio using that password). Then i tried copying the server name from the management studio, as the server when trying to add the system DSN. That seems to have worked, and i finished ading the SQL Server to the System DSN, using the database which i wanted. But after all these steps, i still get the exact same error as before - "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. (provedier: TCP provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)".If someone can please help - i've tried everything i can think of - i can access the internet from the virtual machine, i even tried disabling the firewall, but no luck. Is it because of the virtual machine? If so, can anyone suggest a solution? I actually doubt it, because i've even tried to install it on my pc, not the virtual machine, so on vista - and also installed SP1 for VS 2005 and SP1 for Vista, but still the same thing. Sorry for making this post so long, but if anyone can help, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
One of our clients controls data for about 150 companies. Each company has the same schema and is running SQL Server 7. The maintenence task is horrible. He would like to put all the data in one large database, but needs to control the access, so a user at one company selecting data in a table cannot have access to another company's data in the same table. I thought about using views for each company but that is 150 companies times 100 tables. With Oracle8i you can make virtual private databases. Can this be done in SQL Server 7? Thanks in advance
We have a Server that is set to use 80mb of a 128mb machine. The machine is also set to use up to 300mb of Virtual memory as needed.
After running for 10 days, we got the message "Low on Virtual memory". We did some looking and found SQLServer was using 300mb between real and virtual memory.
So the question: Is there a manual method to get SQLServer to release extra memory with out stopping and restarting the service?
We are using sql server 2008 r2 standard with sp2. I have a 12 GB database in production server, log file was set to 150MB with increment of 10 percent, in last 4 years database size has gone from 2gb to 12 gb. I ran following command
DBCC LOGINFO
And found I have 150 plus rows(which means 150 plus virtual log files)
I increased the size of log file to 25 percent of data file which comes to be approx 3gb and also set auto growth to 20 percent ...
Additional info: we have a log shipping environment in production, i am taking log backups every 15 mins.. still number of virtual log files is same , why is that , how to bring them between number of 25-50 as thats the recommended.
I need to have a way to intercept the SQL queries from an application written in VB and using a ODBC driver and modify the SQL queries before it goes through the ODBC driver and then to the database. This I need to do without modifying the original application.
The solution I have in mind is to write a ODBC virtual driver and configure my application to use my virtual ODBC driver. The ODBC virtual driver in turn will use the actual ODBC driver to the database. The virtual driver will basically intercept the SQL queries, modify it and then give it to the real ODBC driver.
My question is
1. Is this a feasible solution? 2. What should I do in order to implement the vitrtual ODBC driver. 3. Any pointer will be appreciated.
:confused: Please forgive this elementary question. I have database which has a view that produces the desired records and fields from multiple tables. As I understand it a view is a Virtual Table. My problem is I need to export these results periodically to deliver to a customer. I am running this database on SQL Server 2000 if I right click on a table I have the option to dts the data to a text file but when I right click on the view I do not have this option. How can I make this virtual table an actual table. PLEASE Help Thank You, Ed
I am looking for some first-hand experiences from fellow DBA's where they had SQL Server running on a Win2K3 VM. What sort of issues (or successes) did you find re: resource sharing, swap files, etc? Are there any experiences where using a VM negatively affected your environment?
I have two instances of SQL Server running on my Development machine.I am having some performance problems and while investigating theproblem I saw with the Process Explorer form Sysinternals that bothinstances consume each 800 Mbytes of memory!I experimented with sp_configure and by giving both instances a fixedmemory size. Both methods do not seem to have any effect.Can anybody explain me why SQL Server is using so much memory?Thanks for any information.Evert WiesenekkerPSBesides the northwind database I only have one simple extra database(70 Mb in size) installed.
I've been discussing here a SQL 7 view which scrolls slowly when linked toan Access 2000 MDB. After trying various things, I've distilled it down tothe following: when the linked view has a virtual primary key, it is slow;when there is no virtual primary key, it scrolls quickly.Looking at Profiler, I see that when there is no virtual primary key, Accesssends a simple select command to SQL Server. However, when there is avirtual primary key, Access gets a list of primary key values, and then usesthose values to get records from SQL Server in groups of 10.This may account for why the scrolling is slow when there is a virtualprimary key. However, I wonder if there's any way to improve performance orotherwise work around this apparent bottleneck.The MS literature says that creating a virtual primary key will not affectperformance. However, since different methodologies for obtaining data areused with and without the virtual primary key, it seems that it does affectperformance, and certainly does in this situation.Thanks,Neil
