  • Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server. Only happens on one of the front end SRS servers

    when testing a datasource connection I get the following error.
    Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server.
    I've read all the posts on this and nothing works.  This is a scale out deployment and the connection
    works from the other server I have setup with SRS that is connected to the same backend SRS databases.  It just doesn't work from one of the SRS front ends.  I'm at a loss..  please help

    Enable both named pipe and TCP communications.
    Make sure client is using the same (named) pipe name as server for connection.

    The system cannot find the file specified
    I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
    Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
    many times and cannot connect to my local DB. 
    How do I connect to my Local DB? 
    Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
    instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
    I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
    I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
    May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated. 
    Some of the things I have tried:
    From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
    net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR 
    net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
    on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

    Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

    I have a database application that connects to the Northwind sample db in MS Access and lets the user perform CRUD operations.
    Now I want to add the same for MS SQL Server, however, I have trouble connecting to it using this connection string:
    I changed the server properties in SQL Server Management Studio to allow windows and SQL Server authentication, yet, I still get this exception when trying to open the connection:
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
    I thought it might be because the server is not allowing remote connections and followed this guide to allow remote connections:
    http://www.linglom.com/2009/03/28/enable-remote-connection-on-sql-server-2008-express/
    But the SQL Server windows service won't start. The Browser works fine, but the server doesn't do anything.
    When trying to start it I get this error:
    The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.

    However, when starting SQL Server Management Studio, I can normally work with the databases, perform CRUD operations, etc.
    I was wondering if it might be a connection string issue.
    I'm using this string:
    @"Server=lolcalhost;Database=Northwind;User ID=BEN-A350C47E32F;Password=;Trusted_Connection=False;";
    I added the Northwind database as data source to the project and the connection string is in the app.config:
    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="NwindConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Nwind.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>
    </connectionStrings>
    using this code to access it:
    constringServer = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NwindConnectionString"].ToString();
    but when using this string I get an ArgumentException:
    Keyword not supported: 'provider'.
    I'd appreciate any help that would let me connect to the server from a program.

    Here is an active Sql connection string we use currently from our app.config file:
    <connectionStrings>
    <clear/>
    <add name="ServerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=SqlBox;Initial Catalog=YourCatalog;User Id=Username; Password=password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/><br/> </connectionStrings>

  • [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

    I using SQL 2000 on Server 2012 in named instance. when i connect locally, it's ok, but when try to connect from network it generates error [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

    Hi Sayed Abdul Latif,
    As other post, SQL Server 2000 was out of support since April,2013. You can try to install SQL Server 2005 or later version. In addition, since the issue regards SQL Server Data Access. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate
    and more experts will assist you.
    According to your description, you can only connect to SQL Server locally, I recommend you check if the TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager. And the SQL Server is set to allow remote connection. Then restart the SQL Service
    and check if you can connect to SQL Server remotely.
    Additionally, we also need to verify if the SQL Server named instance is in a cluster, and connect to it by using the "servername\instancename" syntax, then you receive the above error message. If yes, you have to hardcode the TCP port or the Named Pipe
    of the SQL Server named instance. For more information, you can review the following article.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888228/en-us

  • Sharepoint 2013 Workflow manager setup SQL serverinstance "Failure in connecting to SQL Server"

    Hi Guys
    im having issues with installing work flow manager.
    this installation has gone ok, but when I'm in the configuration stage, and type in the SQL server instance, it returns with failure in connecting to SQL server.
    this happens with SSL and with out SSL
    I look forward to your responses
    Kindest regards

    Make sure that you have installed workflow manager updates on the server.
    Follow these two steps first:
    Add
    WFSetup account (installer account) to SQL Server security group and give him
    SysAdmin permission.
    Add WFSetup to Workflow server in machine
    administrator group, so user can login as worklfow administrator.
    Enter database machine name and test it.

  • Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    Hello -
    I am trying to install the Office SharePoint training from this link (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=673DC932-626A-4E59-9DCA-16D685600A51&displaylang=en)
    I get the error below.    TCP/IP / Named Pipes both selected in SQL Surface area.   any ideas?    MOSS and SQL are installed on the same server.
    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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
    More information has been written to the server event log.          

    There are a lot of reasons Could not open a connection to SQL Server, you have to check following things to fix the issue:
    1) SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
    2) SQL Server Browser
    3) SQL Server Port 1433
    4) Allow remote connections to this server
    5) Ping for your IP Host Address

  • Connectivity between sql server 2000 and oracle 9i

    Hi friends....
    i am developing application in which i require some data from sql server2000 tables...
    tell me how i can establish connection in between these 2 database and how can i transfer specific rows to oracle....tell me how it is possible to writting stored procedures in sql....or procedures in oracle.....i used DTS (data transfer scheme) but it transfer whole database ot table...but i want to transfer only specific rows in table...
    help me out from it?
    thanx in advance...

    There are a number of ways...
    You can certainly use DTS to extract a subset of rows and move them to Oracle. You'll need to define the WHERE clause when defining your DTS steps.
    You can use Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity to create a database link to SQL Server from Oracle and pull the data over via straight SQL, i.e.
    INSERT INTO local_table
      SELECT * FROM remote_table@sql_server_dblink WHERE extract_conditionYou can do a similar thing in SQL Server where you use linked servers to connect to Oracle from SQL Server and push the data
    This list can go on, but these should get you started.

  • Cannot connect to SQL Server databases

    All of a sudden I can't connect to SQL server databases from
    my local machine. The databases are on a web server. It just
    started happening, and I never had a problem with it before. I
    can't connect to them in the coldfusion administrator, and I can't
    connect to them using ODBC DSN's either. Has anyone ever run into
    this before? I didn't change anything in the cf admin, and I
    certainly didn't change any logins or passwords in SQL
    Server.

    I've been experiencing a similar problem. Everything was fine
    but I had to reboot CF 8.01.
    After the reboot all the datasources are very slow to respond
    and we get lots of errors of the form :
    Timed out trying to establish connection
    A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from
    blah
    Timed out trying to establish connection
    A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from
    blah
    Everything is working but very slow on database queries. This
    happened a couple of months ago when we last
    rebooted and then it went away.
    Going to have a look for a new JDBC driver from adobe and see
    if that helps ....

  • Connect to sql server 2008R2 64bit  from oracle 10g (10.2.0.4)

    Hi
    My requirement is to connect SQL server 2008 R2 64bit to oracle 10.2.0.4.0. and get the data from the SQL database. The SQL server database is located in a remote server. Please let me know the most suitable method to connect.
    Oracle database is running in Red hat Linux 4 enterprise edition 32bit version.
    Regards
    Pramuditha

    Pramuditha,
    I assume that your Oracle database should be the driving site that pushes and pulls the data from/to the SQL Server.
    Here Oracle offers 2 different products, a Database Gateway for ODBC and a Database Gateway for MS SQl Server which both give you the opportunity to define a database link to a MS SQL Server and to integrate it into the Oracle database.
    More details can be found on the My Oracle Support portal (support.oracle.com), then check out the Gateway Master Note:
    Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products (Doc ID 1083703.1)
    The note contains links to other content which gives you an overview about the options you have to connect to a foreign database:
    Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
    and it also explains the functional and licensing differences of the Database Gateway for ODBC and the other gateways:
    Document 252364.1 Functional Differences Between Generic Connectivity and Database Gateways
    Document 232482.1 Gateway and Generic Connectivity Licensing Considerations
    Once you decided which gateway you want to use you can also find the configuration notes linked to the Gateway Master Note.

    Maybe just some words about the versions:
    Your Oracle database release 10.2.0.4 is certified with the currently latest Oracle database Gateway release 11.2.0.3 (DG4ODBC and also DG4MSQL). When you decide to use DG4MSQL, then the 11.2.0.3 release is also certified for SQL Server 2008, when you plan to use DG4ODBC you need to find a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver that is certified with MS SQl Server 2008.

  • Can't connect  to SQL Server 2000 from serlet

    Hi,
    I can connect to SQL Server 2000 from standalone program after set the classpath properly.
    but I Can't connect to SQL Server 2000 from serlet, I am using Tomcat 4.1 and Win2K pro now. Do I need to set something for servlet just like CLASSPATH?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    package usingjsp;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    public class JDBCServlet extends GenericServlet
    protected Connection conn;
    public void init()
    try
    // Make sure the JdbcOdbcDriver class is loaded
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
    // Try to connect to a database via ODBC
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hu:1433", "sa","");
    catch (Exception exc)
    // If there's an error, use the servlet logging API
    getServletContext().log(
    "Error making JDBC connection: ", exc);
    public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
    throws java.io.IOException
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println("<HTML>");
    out.println("<BODY>");
    out.println("<PRE>");
    out.println("The JDBC connection is:");
    out.println(conn);
    out.println("</PRE>");
    out.println("</BODY>");
    out.println("</HTML>");

  • Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

    Hi,
    we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
    Following are the steps which I assumed :
    1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
    2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
    3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
    4.     Report data testing
    Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
    Kindly reply

    Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
    I will follow the steps you have suggested.
    Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
    I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.
