Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple, supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.
Please help!

How can I assign the ODBC Database(Progress) on UNIX as publisher and SQL Server as subscriber. When I use the Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the Unix Server. I just can see the server and database in DTS.
Would you please explain the steps?

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
Hello:
I am currently work on mssql 6.5. On my workstation, I have mssql 6.5
cient software.
However, I would like to install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation
and work with it to become familiar with 7.0. Can I install mssql 7.0
server on my nt workstation? Can mssql 6.5 client coexist with mssql 7.0
on the same machine if they are in different directories?
Thanks.

Is anyone has an experience with choosing
between MS SQL7 (or 6.5) on NT Server box
and Sybase on Unix (UnixWare 2) box to
use this server as WEB server?
Could you tell just a couple of advantages
and disadvantages of each of those systems,
or to point me at the source of useful
for this compare information.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
How can i connect to the MS SQL server ruuning on Windows NT from a SOLARIS machine.?
Is there any client software available for this?
I get the following error when I try to delete files using the FTP client in a SSIS package. This is the error I get.
Error: 0xC002918E at FTP Task, FTP Task: Unable to delete remote files using "FTP Connection Manager".
Task failed: FTP Task
This is a unix server. I'm able to delete the files using other FTP clients but the FTP client in the SSIS package cannot delete the files. I read on many places on the interent that this is a known MS bug. Let me know if there is some sort of work around for this. I'm using SQL servewr 2005 SSIS packages to accomplish this task..
Thanks
Hi Folks,
I need to access the MSSQL data in Oracle.
For that i need to first create the data source (ODBC Connection) to the MSSQL server on UNIX. Can anybody help me in creating the ODBC connection.
Thanks,

Hi. Is there a way in order to get the Server name using MSSQL ODBC in Visual C++? Here's my code:
CString wstr_connect ;
wstr_connect.Format( "DSN=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s", gstr_DBName, gstr_UserID, gstr_Password ) ;
CDatabase mydb ;
BOOL ret = mydb.OpenEx( wstr_connect, CDatabase::noOdbcDialog ) ;
CString info = mydb.GetConnect( ) ;
GetConnect only returns the database name, user ID, password and WSID. How do i get the server name?
Thanks in advance!
I have an application on:
W2K client
Sql 2000 + No SP
MS ODBC V3.8
C++
The application, running on the client, connects to SQL server for many simultaneous queries involving select, insert and update. Application creats a thread for each query. Each thread connects to the sql server via ODBC using sqlconnect.
However I find that the individual thread do not close properly and stay open even after sqldisconnect has been issued on the client. At one point I have over 1200 threads on client application trying simultaneously to connect to the server and the sqlserver is holding with 276 threads open.
I do not understand why the ODBC connection stays open even after sqldisconnect is issued. I have even tried disabling connection pooling, to no effect. The performance is very poor.
How can I issue a large number of queries to same sql server via ODBC while guaranteeing performance?
Newbie here,
I am trying to link tables from an access 2003 frontend to sql server 2005 backend.
I am doing this in a vmware test environment. I am using vmware server and running sbs 2003 and xp sp2 client. Both virtaul machine can talk to each other(using local host connection).
I have tried to create a dsn to the sql server but i cannot connect. I can ping the sbs server through the command interface but the error i get when i try to connect is :
Connection failed:
Sql state: hyt00
sqlserver error: 0
microsoft odbc sql server driver timeout expired.
spent a day trying various combinations - still no joy.
Any help would be much appreciated
Hi,
When I'm using SQL server 2005, and ODBC drive €œSQL Native Client€? I get an error when executing the below given code. Error Message: €œTransaction cannot start because more than one ODBC connection is in use.€?
But this works well with SQL Server 2000 with ODBC drive "SQL Native Client" and in SQL server 2005 also when I used ODBC drive €œSQL Server€?.
I used aTrgConn.Execute(€œBegin Transaction€?) and it's working properly. But unfortunately I cannot use this method, because I want to run the same code with Oracle ODBC as well.
Is this a known issue in SQL Native client drive with SQL server 2005? Do you know a solution for this?
Please Help..............
Thanks in advance.
Code:
Dim aTrgConn As New ADODB.connection
Dim aCmdIns As New ADODB.Command
Dim aCmdUpd As New ADODB.Command
aTrgConn.Open sConnStr
Set aCmdIns.ActiveConnection = aTrgConn
Set aCmdUpd.ActiveConnection = aTrgConn
aTrgConn.BeginTrans
Hi All,
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Thanks!
First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.

Hello,
This isn't a sql server question, but as i'm new to the whole forum thing, i was wondering what private messages are for..? Presumably they're not just there for fun?!
Thought i'd better find out before i end up being told off for misuse, or something...
Apologies to post this in the sql server forum, but there didn't appear to be an etiquette forum!
Cheers

I have my MSSQL hosted, any interface i can use so i can't connect to the data source?
for Mysql, i know i can use phpmyadmin, or mysql interface.
i have no idea for MSSQL, any advices?
i know there is one, which is Toad, but it has a lots of limitations, any good idea?
thanks.
We have in our applications written in VC++ access also to MSSQL but only over ODBC. Is there any performance difference (is ADO faster) between ODBC and ADO access? And if yes how much it could be ?
Thanks for your answer.
As a SQL adminstrator any maintenance I perform including performing full database backups against the sql server with users connected to a certain database, causes the odbc connection to fail between the web server and the sql database. This causes all clients to experience an odbc failure. The only resolution is to reboot the webserver. There is ODBC driver incompatibilites that exist between the servers. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am in the process of a change control request to upgrade the ODBC on the production SQL server to 3.70.0623 the same as the web server but am not sure that this is the issue. Can there be something in the application itself that would be causing it to break and not reestablish the ODBC connection?
Thanks
David
I work with a FoxPro programmer who wants to use an ODBC connection from his foxpro inventory database to the websites mssql inventory database to do quanity+1 updates.
But he is not sure if OBDC (or MSSQL for that matter) supports those kind of updates (field+1 instead finding out what field value is and then incrementing it).
Can one of your pros confirm or deny this?
thanks!
First off, Devshed is a great place to find information for development. I'm on here daily looking through threads, finding answeres
I'm building a backend for a program that uses msSql 2005 and ODBC .
I'm trying to insert into a table, and it is working, but i would like to find a solution to this error i get from the odbc trace:
Calc f54-5c4ENTER SQLExecute
HSTMT 00924A18
Calc f54-5c4EXIT SQLExecute with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
HSTMT 00924A18
DIAG [22018] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification (0)
when i try to insert a value of 0 (zero) into a column that is bound as a double it gives this error.
And one more thing:
if(retcode != SQL_SUCCESS | SQL_SUCESS_WITH_INFO)
shouldnt that work? (if Retcode isnot success OR success_with_info)
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Hi There,
I have developed the ODBC app which can work with Oracle as well as MSSQL server databases. I need to use transactions at some level. By setting AUTOCOMMIT OFF and using SET TRANSACTION and BEGIN WORK, COMMIT WORK everything works fine with Oracle. But with MSSQL server does not. Do I need to code something special for MSSQL? Does anyone has example on how to implement transactions with MSSQL server using ODBC?
I tried reading lots of documents on Microsoft site but nothing specifically says how to do this. One way the doc says is using SQLSetConnectAttr with SQL_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION but does not specify how to.
Any help with appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can anyone help, how to find client's hostname using RDP from MSSQL command.
In simple words,
I am connecting to Remote desktop and using MSSQL server management studio in the remote desktop. And when I run select host_name(), it returns the RDP machine name. However, I wish to see my own computer name.
Thanks in advance.

Hallo
i'm experiencing an extremely slow connection from a WXPP Sp2 client to a MSSQL2000 running on a W2k server. The client is running a VB6 application that connect with Windows authentication: every form requesting data opens with a long delay at the first launch; next attempts run normally fast.
In the same LAN there are some others identical clients, all running fine.
Every other network activity from that client is ok.
Where should i start to investigate from?
I need to install the 'MSSQL 2005 Express Client' on a computer that will be hosting a copy of an MSSQL 2005 Standard Edition database.
Question: Should I install both the DataBase Services feature and the Client Components feature?
Many thanks, for your help on this.

Hello,
I normally use Microsoft Access to retrieve data , via ODBC connection, from a table in a SQLserver database. One of the fields in the table has a value 1 but at times when the data is retrieved into MS Access it turns out to be 100 in Access. Moreover, when I try to change it in Access my computer hangs or it takes a long time before the change is effected. It does not matter from which client Pc this action takes place it remains the same. I am using ODBC SQLserver ODBC driver version 2000.81.9042.00.
I would be grateful if you could help me out of this strange situation.

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to connect to my MSSQL without having to setup a datasource in the control panel.
Perferably I want to locate the database within my perl code instead. I don't want to have to setup a datasource each time I need a different database. Perhaps there is a way to pass the name of the database along with the username and password through the command line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
