  • Error Using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3

    Hi,
    I�m using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3. The connection is succesfully, but when I use de statement.executequery() method, there is the follow exception:
    java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'PEC_COUNTRY'.
    This is my code:
    ResultSet resultSet;
    Statement statement;
    Connection connection;
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;user=sa;password=");
    statement = connection.createStatement();
    resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT COY_INX, COY_NAME, COY_ICO FROM PEC_COUNTRY
    ");When I make the last instruction, occurs the above exception
    Thanks in advance
    Luija

    The way you are connecting, the default database used will be 'master' and i guess that the table PEC_COUNTRY was defined in another database.
    If it is the case you need to specify the database name.
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;DatabaseName=yourdb;user=sa;password=");

  • How can I know how many processors do I need for a new SQL Server machine?

    My company intend to buy a new server and will dedicate that for SQL Server which will serve an in-house developed application.
    How can we know how many processors are enough to buy?
    I know that each SQL Server edition and version has it's different limitation of the number of processors it can support, for example SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition can support up to 4 sockets or 16 cores per SQL Server Instance, but this does not mean
    that I have to buy 4 physical CPUs. two could be enough. how can I know?

  • New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation - No disk is available to select in section "Cluster Disk Slection"

    Hello Everyone,
    I am in a deep need for your help regarding the problem I am facing.
    I am doing a New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation in a virtual server that is part of a failover cluster. I am able to complete all the steps successfully but, when I reach the point where I am supposed to select the shared disk that will
    be included in the SQL server resource cluster group, I don't find any disk in the list (as u can see in the figure below).
    I have already created the a 2 nodes failover cluster and added 3 disks (1 as a witness in Quorum and 2 other available storage).
    No roles were created, 2 nodes are available and 1 network is there in the cluster.
    If u take a look at the message it say: "The search for mount points failed. Error: the system cannot find the path specified". What is this and how can I solve this issue??
    Thanks in advance for your support and looking forward for your valuable feedbacks.
    Mark as answer if it was an answer for you question.. Please don't hesitate to ask for any further help..

    Dear Ashwin,
    I have granted the privileges mentioned in the link you provided as below:
      Act as Part of the Operating Sywstem = SeTcbPrivileg
      Bypass Traverse Checking = SeChangeNotify
      Lock Pages In Memory = SeLockMemory
      Log on as a Batch Job = SeBatchLogonRight
      Log on as a Service = SeServiceLogonRight
      Replace a Process Level Token = SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
    I was not able to solve the problem by giving these privileges to the domain account I am using to install SQL.
    Mark as answer if it was an answer for you question.. Please don't hesitate to ask for any further help..

  • Temporarily disable Digital Signature Checks to Install MS SQL Server 2008 with no Internet Access

    I am attempting to install a licensed copy of MS SQL Server 2008 in a Private Enclave that does NOT have Internet access on a Win2008 R2 SP1 server (that is VM - thus I can't reboot and press F8 to select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
    ). The installation fails with an error of the vc_red.cab file being found either corrupt or a bad digital signature.  The file is good, but the signature has an expiration of 2011.   I understand that a DOTNET SDK v1.1 program called setreg.exe
    will enable disabling the digital signature check, but I am not permitted to use that program. 
    I might be permitted to use the "Signtool.exe" utility, but it is not clear what command sequences are necessary to disable and then re-enable the Digital Signature checks.
    I saw a thread that recommended using the command:
    bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
    However, the comments indicated that this might not have worked.
    Are there Registry settings I can use with regedit to make the necessary changes to be able to install the application?  I anticipate running into this problem with other software when I do not have Internet connectivity.   I already tried
    downloading the Microsoft CRL files; updated the lists on the Server; and rebooted.  This did not solve my problem.  

    Hi,
    As far as I know, it is not recommended to disable digital signature check.
    Since we are not familair with installing MS SQL server, please also refer to SQL forums below to see if experts there have more insights regarding the matter.

    Hello,
    Please try deleting the following sub folder to see if this will work:
      C:\users\(my profile)\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation
    If you can't see AppData folder, you could use following steps to show hidden files:
     1. Open an explorer window, hit "ALT-T" choose Folder Options then go to the view tab.
     2. Turn on Show hidden files, folders or drives and
    disable Hide protected Operating System files (recommended).

  • Building New SQL Server To Migrate from Old one and need to figure out how I need to license it.

    So my head is spinning on setting up a New SQL Server.
    Current setup is Microsoft Server 2003 Standard and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard. Nothing was maintained with Software assurance.
    Environment:
    Database is Limited to 2008 R2 Standard as Highest release I can use with it. So I know I need to do a Downgrade.
    New Server can Be either Microsoft Server standard 2008 or 2012 x64.
    The Domain Controller for right now is going to remain a Machine with Server 2003 Standard x86. It is Licensed with 30 Cals.
    The office Environment:
    The Office has any where from 5-7 employees.
    They have 3 Office locations and employees are in 1 of the three locations depending on the day.
    Between all 3 Offices they have 27 computers.
    Employees also can access multiple machines through out the day.
    Reception, Checkout and Third employee will be at their own machine.
    3 Employees will be accessing their main machine but also float to at the most 6 other machines located in the office these machines are logged in in the morning using their own user name Employees don't login or logout on them throughout the day.
    If they are in The Main Office they access the SQL server machine directly.
    If they are in one of the two satellite offices the Employees will access the SQL server through the front end running on Terminal Services running on the SQL server.
    My New Server will be Either a 4 or 6 core Xeon Processor.
    So the Questions.
    Lets say the scenario is I am buying Windows 2012 Server and Cals and Buying SQL 2012 Server and Cals and will be downgrading both to 2008.
    How do I need to license Windows Server? How many Cals do I need and what way should they be setup?
    How do I need to license SQL Server? By Server? By Core? How Many Cals do I need?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    In addition, basically a downgrade is possible in case the SQL Server editions are the same. Downgrade is only supported in case a downgrade of e.g. SQL2012 Enterprise to SQL2008R2 Enterprise is done.
    I have attached a link to the SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide. Look at “Upgrades, Downgrades and Step-Ups” section of the document and check which version and editions are supported for the downgrade.

  • Problems installing MS SQl Server 2012

    Hi.
    I am trying to install MS SQL Server 2012, and I am getting the next error in the "Install Setup files" step:
    "The following error has occurred:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly
    'Microsoft.VC80.ATL,version="8.0.50727.6229",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64",type="win32". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:"
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Folks:
    I just spent 24 hours trying to research this problem.  This has affected every product I want to use that interfaces to MS SQL Server 2012.  My development machine is in need of recovery.  I de-installed my old products and I have to recover
    from backups.  Every new product (2012 and 2013) I downloaded had failed on this ERROR when it touches a SQL Server install or some VC Redistributable kit;
    ***'Microsoft.VC80.ATL,version="8.0.50727.6229", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture="amd64",type="win32"***
    , for one reason or another (SqlSupport.msi).
    After extensive Internet research and many drill downs, it sounds like this issue has been around for years on and off.  It is now ON again.  No solution worked which tells me it is a serious architectural issue or complex upward compatibility
    issue.  Because the installs actually work on my non-development machines that have little software installed.
    It needs a cleanup routine, and a simple straight forward install routine.  I found someone who reported this a bug and I am looking forward to a solution.
    Go MS
