Connecting to a specific SQL Server instance?

Hi all,
I create a new connection for SQL Server, specify the host and the port number that SQL Browser is listening on (my servers have dynamic ports, not static), and I can connect succesfully to the local SQL Server Instance on that machine, which is SQL Server 2000. However, I also have a SQL Server 2005 and 2008 running on that machine as well, and wish to connect to them.
The SQL Server tab doesn't ask for an instance name at all, so I don't know how to do that. I suppose I could make my ports static for each instance, but the point of using SQL Browser is that you don't need to do that. SQL Browser acts almost like a DNS server for any sql requests coming to that machine.
Is there any way to specify which instance name you want to connect to rather than a port #?

Ok, that worked. Now for another question, why isn't the connection retreiving the database I selected in the SQL Server tab? It's only retrieving the master database if I connect as sa (master is the default database for SA). How do I set it up to use a different database, or do cross database queries? I suppose I could make a user for each database, but that doesn't fix the second issue.
I think I might just be stuck using two different tools for these two very different products.

Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance

On a clean install domain member (Windows 2012), I am trying to setup System center 2012 VMM:
1. I installed the prerequisites as instructed during the pre-setup phase of the installation then rebooted the server (SQL Server 2012 was installed and services seem to be all started properly and SQL Configuration Manager starts as well).
2. After reboot, logged again with domain admin account and Windows update installed right away SP1 for SQL server 2012. Then I rebooted again.
3. Restarted the installation process and left default values. At the "Database configuration" step, I am leaving everything by default as well and I am getting error: "Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance. Ensure that
the server name..."
4. Tried different credentials, tried using port 1433 with no effect.
Am I missing something????
Thanks.
Benjilafouine

Definitely be sure to connect with the "ServerName\InstanceName,PortNumber". If you don't reference a port number it will try 1433 and then will connect via a dynamic port number. It is best in my opinion to always specify a specific port for each instance
to listen on in the SQL Server Configuration Manager so that you can open the fewest number of ports in the Windows firewall.

Cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance

I am trying to install Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Management.
I am getting the following error:
Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance.
Ensure that the server name, isntance name, and, if speceified, port number are correct. If you are installing VMM remotely, ensure that remote connections are set up correctly, and then try Setup again.
I have installed the
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Command Line Utilities
but have not set up any SQL Server instances.
how should i proceed?
Edit:
The followign fields are configured:
Server Name: The name of the machine i am using
Port: <empty>
Use the following credentials <NOT ticked>
Instance name <empty> (the drop down is empty)
New Database <Ticked> : VirtualManagerDB

Is SQL server is properly installed on the system?
Are you able to connect with SQL server instance?
As per the given details looks, only client utilities installed and trying to create the database which needs SQL server.
Make sure you are able to connect with the "ServerName\InstanceName,PortNumber" and hope installing the system as per below article:

Data modeler cannot connect to non-default sql server instance

I've just started using DM, it installed and loaded fine, I got the jdbc drivers v2.0 from MS so that I can reverse engineer a couple of SQL-Server 2005 DB's.
All worked just fine until I tried to connect to a machine with a named-sql-server instance.
Normal way of doing this for sql-server is to add instance name to end of hostname in the hostname field, like this: "server10\inst01"
but this gives me a cannot-connect-to-server10 error.
I copied database over to a different server that has just a default sql-server instance and it worked fine. (both sql-server2005 and 2000!)
I also tried the older 1.2 jdbc driver from MS against the sql-server 2005 named instance, no luck!
I tried putting the instance name in front of the port number, that didn't work either.
Am I just doing something wrong? or does DM need a special way of specifying the instance name on the sql-server host?

Hello,
you don't need instance name in order to connect. It's only host and port - probably named instance is not listening on default port. It'll be unfortunate if dynamic port assignment is used - but probably that won't be the case.
I hope someone can tell you the port number.

Cannot not connect to SQL Server instance.

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2012 installed and when I run this command:
sc query mssql$MSSQLSERVER
I get this error:
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
I run this command on the same server where SQL Server is installed. Databases are on the same server too. TCP/IP is enabled for the instance and port 1433 is open on the server's firewall. SQL Server Browser is running.
Many errors in the SQL Server error logs like:
SQLServer Error: 11001, A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct.
SQLServer Error: 11001, TCP Provider: No such host is known. [SQLSTATE 08001]
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, you fail to connect to SQL Server 2012 instance. According to the SQL Server error log, based on my research, your issue could be due to that
the client cannot resolve the name of the SQL Server instance.
Are the errors from the SQL Server error log solved? If the errors are not solved, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Make sure you are able to ping the physical server where SQL Server is installed from the client machine. If not, you can try to connect to the SQL Server using an IP Address (for default instance) or IP Address\Instance Name
for a named instance.
2. Make sure you are using the correct instance name. When you connect to a default instance, machine name is the best representative for the instance name and when you connect to a named instance such as sqlexpress, you should
specify machinename\instancename according to
Niting123’s post. And you could verify if you use the right instance name in SQL Server configuration manager according to
Niting123’s post.
3. Check that SQL Server is in the network. You can use the SQLCMD -L command to retrieve the list of SQL Server installed in the network. Note that this will only return SQL Servers if the SQL Server Browser service is running.
4. Make sure that you enable Named Pipes besides TCP/IP protocol.
5. Check to see if remote connections is enabled. Right click on the server name in SSMS and select Properties. Go to the Connections tab and make sure Allow remote connection to this server is checked.
6. Locally connect to SQL Server and check the error log for the port entry.
7. To connect to SQL Server instance using TCP/IP from another computer, on the SQL Server computer, you must configure the firewall to allow connections to the TCP port used by the Database Engine. If you are connecting to a named
instance or a port other than TCP port 1433, you must also open the UDP port 1434 for the SQL Server Browser service according to pasquale’s post.
For step by step instruction on opening a port in the Windows firewall, see
How to: Configure a Windows Firewall for Database Engine Access
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2340/resolving-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-errors/
In addition, you mention that there are many other errors, so please provide the SQL Server error log for analysis.

DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem. In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total). All of the SQL

up fine; only one instance is failing. The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:

I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine). The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
to when the failures started to occur. However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem. We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.
One last thing, I have also noticed errors in the event log pertaining to the same SQL backups that are failing (but the time stamps are not concurrent with each backup attempt):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem. If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine. They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK. Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

Let's assume you have two DBMS instances running on the machine hansa. One
of them may be listening for tcp connections on port 1433, but the other must not.
The other most be listening on some other port number you have chosen.
Therefore, to choose which DBMS instance you want to connect to, use the
working URL you have, and switch the port number as desired.

Connect from SQL Developer to several SQL Server instances

Our SQL Server has more than one instance, but I see only one instance of them trying to connect from SQL Developer 1.2 to SQL Server. How I should define the connection information? Usually we connect to SQL Server by <hostname>/<instancename> and then the database name as CatalogName (Initial Catalog). In the Oracle world you can give only the hostname, a port number and the database name. How I can convince the SQL Developer to choose one of our SQL Server instances?

Hi user627927,
Bug/Enhancement request already logged.
We have not got this configuration in house, two people have suggested workarounds but we are unable to test them for now. The last person was unable to get these workarounds working, and we have not confirmed them in house.
Can you get the instances connected through two different ports?
It would be great if you could confirm either workaround.

*1/Suggestion 1 change the url through SQLDevelopers xml connection store.
[Note it is probably simpler to connect a dummy connection through the connection dialog as usual save it (you cannot connect) and then add the instance information rather than having to enter all the information in an unmanaged way.]
Hi Naveen,
I had same problem as you and user579801. I managed to resolve it by doing the following.
1. Locate the file called IDEConnections.xml in the folder where you have installed SQL Developer (eg. c:\sql developer\sqldeveloper\system\oracle.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.11.42.62).
2. Create the following entries under <connections> tag.
<connection>
<URL>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://\\.\;namedPipe=true;instance=SQLDBNam;</URL>
<ConnectionName>SQLServer</ConnectionName>
<user>SQLUser</user>
<ConnectionType>JDBC</ConnectionType>
<DeployPassword>false</DeployPassword>
<JdbcDriver>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</JdbcDriver>
<RaptorConnectionType>Microsoft SQL Server</RaptorConnectionType>
</connection>
3. Save the file; Close and re-open the SQL Developer and try connecting.
Hope this will solve your problem. Good luck.
Regards
Raja
*2/Overload the port field to have instance in the eventual url
This took some figuring out but I cracked it in the end....
SQLServer tab:
Hostname: <servername>
Port: <portnumber>/<databasename>;instance=<instancename>
so for me the Port field looks like this: 1433/Gaffa;instance=SQL01
That should now connect to a named instance SQL Server.

I can't figure out why the named instance does not work but the other one does. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you check with the ODBC test utility isql (it is installed by default when you install the unixODBC Driver manager) if your ODBC driver can connect at all to that named instance? I have some doubts that it will work either as there was a blog commented by a MS engineer:
Introducing the new Microsoft ODBC Drivers for SQL Server - Microsoft SQLNCli team blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
who states that named instance connections are not supported using that driver.

Help,
setup a new sql server 2012 on a windows 2012r2 server to replace old sql server 2005 on an old windows server 2003 machine. When i test the ODBC connection locally on the server it works fine, however when i try to connect via windows 7 client machine
i get the following error:
Connection failed:
SQLState:'01000'
SQL Server Error:67

(Connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQL Server Error:17
[Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I think it must be a permissions thing, I've turned off the firewall for now and still no difference, 've also made sure remote connection is enabled. I can connect to the other sql server in studio manager on the new machine however, i can't go do
the same in the old server, says:
cannot connect to hbfsqlpro1\hbfsqlpro1
Additonal information a network related or instance specifc error occured while establising a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to
allow remote connections. (provider:SQL Network Interfaces, error 26 - error locationg server/instance specified) (Microsoft SQL server)
the instance is def correct, as that is what i use to connect locally on the new machine and what it comes up on the studio manager on the new machine. STarting to pull my hair out somewhat, i'm sure it's something really simple!

Hello,
You are trying to connect to a named instance. Make sure the SQL Server Browser service is started on the SQL Server computer.
Make sure TCP/IP is enabled.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294(v=sql.110).aspx
Try to disable Windows Firewall or security software on both, SQL Server instance and client computer.
Test basic connectivity too. Try to ping from the client computer to the SQL Server computer.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

Hi,
I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
I have two questions:
1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
issue, but there is no answer :(.
Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.
M
Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
Contents of my initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file is
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQLSERVERDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hsmsql.trc
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
set ODBCINI=c:\WINDOWS\ODBC.INI
SALIHKM.DOMAIN.COM is my system in which Oracle Test DB is Installed.
SQL Server is in another location.
In Tnsnames i specified ip address.
One more doubt.
I am using 10g Release 2 demo version.
whether it will support Hetrogeneous Services?
How to know whether a database supports HS or not?
Thanks & Regards
