Do I need to have SQL server and VSS writer installed on my Laptop?

I am a home user and I just want to know if it is necessary for me to have these installed om my computer? What do they do? I have the services disabled as of now. Should I re-enable them? Is there any benefit from them? Thanks-George
This has been resolved.Thanks-G

no, you don't need them unless you are developing database-driven websites. each are services related to hosting databases locally.

Need to connect SQL Server 2008 and CR 2008 via OLE DB SQL Server Provider

I am relatively new to Crystal but have done some minor design/layout work in the past. I just purchased CR 2008 and dowloaded a Eval Copy of SQL Server 2008 to build test reports that will then be uploaded to a hosted web app we use for use with live data.
I am having some trouble, however, getting SQL server and CR 08 to talk the way I need them to. We have to use the OLE DB for SQL Server Provider connection for the reports to work in our hosted live environment but I cannot get this to work on SQL 2008. The server never appears in the Server dropdown and if I manually type it get the following error:
failed to open connection.
Detail ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
SQL State: 08001
Native Error: 17 [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]
I am setting up the connection through the Database Expert choosing the OLE DB (ADO) folder and then selecting 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server' then entering my server name, user id, password, and Database name.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice. I have installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Service 10.0 OLEDB Provider pack.
My provider/host does use SQL Server 2005 but since I can't get a free Evaluation version of it I have to use 2008 for my local copy. I have searched the web over (including here) and cannot find an answer to my issue.
I cannot use SQL Server Express version because our copy of the DB is too big. I cannot use the Native 10 provider as the reports will not work once I have uploaded them to the live data.
any help anyone can provide for this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you and sorry if this is a dupe post. I have searched everywhere and cannot find the answer.

Hello,
Go to Microsoft's site and download their OLE DB test tool and test the connection. Did you install the MS client tools to test the connection also?
As a test try creating an ODBC System DSN just to verify you can connect and create a report also.
And don't use the SA account, MS 2008 disabled it, sort of, so you'll have to create a new account and grant permissions to any table you need to use.
SQL 2008 changed security model big time so it's not the same as 2005 once was....
Good luck

Getting List of SQL server and on selection of server get List of Databases using SMO

Hi,
I need to have functionality where I need to populate List of available SQL servers from local network, and when i select SQL server from list, get the list of Databases from that Server.
For this i referenced SQL SMO Dll's and placed two drop down, one lists Server names, and one lists Database names.
Dlls refered are:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
Above DLL's i have copied from SQL server SQL server 2008 installed location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies
DLL version : 11.0.3000.0
Code i have used is:
private void MainForm_Load(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   DataTable dataTable = SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers(false);
   cmbServers.ValueMember = "Name";
   cmbServers.DataSource = dataTable;
//Now, load Databases on selection of Server combo box.
private void cmbServers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   cmbDatabases.Items.Clear();
   if (cmbServers.SelectedIndex != -1)
      string serverName = cmbServers.SelectedValue.ToString();
      Server server = new Server(serverName);
      try
         foreach (Database database in server.Databases)
            cmbDatabases.Items.Add(database.Name);
      catch (Exception ex)
         string exception = ex.Message;
It works where SQL server is installed, but in systems where no SQL server is installed, it is not working, it is not returning list of SQL server and so database list.
Query is> can you please help me in this regard, what i am missing here, do i need to install any client component to use this?, or anything else what i need to do to make this functionality work.
Thanks,
Hemal

Thanks Michael for replying.
I have gone through the reply, and the link on how to get the SMO library installed.
"To install the Client Tooks SDK without installing SQL Server, install Shared Management Objects from the SQL Server feature pack.
If you want to ensure that SQL Server Management Objects is installed on a computer that will run your application, you can use the Shared Management Objects .msi in the SQL Server feature pack."
I have few questions on "Shared Management Objects .msi"
Where do i get "Shared Management Objects .msi".
only installing this msi will install SMO?.
Can i ship this msi with my application installer?
do i need to install x86 on x86 system and x64 version of msi in x64 system, or x86 can work fine with both, my application
is x86 only.
Thanks,
Hemal

Verify that SQL Server Reporting Services is installed properly and that it is running.

I am trying to install DPM 2010 on Windows 2008 R2. Running through installation and the server that I'm installing DPM to will also host the SQL instance and Reporting instance. Pretty much choosing all the defaults.
Installation gets to reporting portion and fails. It says that I need to verify that Reporting Services is running.   The exact error is:
Data Protection Manager installation has failed. To return the server to its original state, you must uninstall Data Protection Manager by using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. This will remove all files and components copied during installation.

Hello,
The real problem is the error UnableToConfigureAccount and *** Mojito error was: PasswordTooShort; 0; None
The reason is due to the new password complexity on Windows 2008 which states the following:
Password must meet complexity requirements
This security setting determines whether passwords must meet complexity requirements.
If this policy is enabled, passwords must meet the following minimum requirements:
Not contain the user's account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two consecutive characters
Be at least six characters in length Contain characters from three of the following four categories:
English uppercase characters (A through Z)
English lowercase characters (a through z)
Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
Complexity requirements are enforced when passwords are changed or created.
Default:
Enabled on domain controllers.
Disabled on stand-alone servers.
Note: By default, member computers follow the configuration of their domain controllers.
Please use a more secure password adhering to the above criteria and DPM should install fine.

SQL Server and Reporting Services

What is the best practice for replicating the same reports for different clients using different databases in the same SQL Server and Reporting Services?
For example:
Create a single database for each client.
Create a single data source in Reporting services for each client.
Create a folder in Reporting Service for each client, and replicate all the report and point each report to its correct data source.
Is there an easier method for this type of solution.

Hi acedenoBI,
According to your description, you have reports which has same structure for each user. Now you want to have a folder for each client to keep their reports. And each client should have a single database and single data source. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we need one data source to connect different database dynamically, we may need to use parameter and create dynamic connection string. However, in this scenario, since we need to have a single folder and data source for each
client, so we can just make copies of the whole project. Modify the Connection string in each data source, change the Initial Catalog to be the corresponding database for the client. This can be an easy way to meet the requirement.

How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) with scrpiting

I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically. Is that not working?
You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts. I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
the database from some form of shared storage. Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site. I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

NVARCHAR - NVARCHAR2 datatype mapping between sql server and oracle.

Question regarding size allocation that occurs for NVARCHAR columns in sql server to NVARCHAR2 in Oracle in the migration tool.
The migration tool has converted NVARCHAR columns to be twice their size as NVARCH2 in Oracle. Example, a table whose column is mycol NVARCHAR(40) gets migrated as mycol NVARCHAR2(80).
In SQL Server land, the designation of a column as NVARCHAR(40) will physically store the column as 80 bytes. However, as I understand from this excerpt (taken from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/03-nov/o63tech_glob.html), that Oracle in essence will do the same thing for NVARCHAR2:
To make it easy to allocate proper storage for Unicode values, Oracle9i Database introduced character semantics. You can now use a declaration such as VARCHAR2(3 CHAR), and Oracle will set aside the correct number of bytes to accommodate three characters in the underlying character set. In the case of AL32UTF8, Oracle will allocate 12 bytes, because the maximum length of a UTF-8 character encoding is four bytes (3 characters * 4 bytes/character = 12 bytes). On the other hand, if you're using AL16UTF16, in which case your declaration would be NVARCHAR2(3), Oracle allocates just six bytes (3 characters * 2 bytes/character = 6 bytes). One difference worth noting is that for UTF-8, a declaration using character semantics allows enough room for surrogate characters, whereas for UTF-16 that is not the case. A declaration such as NVARCHAR2(3) provides room for three UTF-16 code units, but a single supplementary character may consume two of those code units.
As I read this, NVARCHAR(40) in sql server should be equivalent to NVARCHAR2(40) in Oracle and not NVARCHAR2(80) as it gets translated to - am I missing something? We have a rather large database to migrate so I need to get this size allocation right (and I obviously don't want to truncate any data).
Thanks -

Right - well, that's what I'm suggesting is that NVARCHAR(8) in SQL Server is equivalent to NVARCHAR2(8) in Oracle. Truncation will occur after 8 of any character, including, say, double byte Kanjii characters, which would physically store 16 bytes in the NVARCHAR(8) NVARCHAR2(8) column defn. I tried that in both SQL Server and Oracle, and the behavior is the same.
Also, technically, NVARCHAR2(8) and VARCHAR2(8 CHAR) is roughly the same in terms of behavior, except that in the first case, the physical storage is 16 bytes, while in the second case, it's 24 bytes (to account for 'supplemental' characters or true UTF-8 compliance). Same truncation occurs after 8 of -any- character be it single byte ascii or double byte kanjii, which is the behavior I expect.
Thanks for looking into this. What I decided to do was the following:
What was originally defined in SQL Server as varchar (and translated to VARCHAR2 with the CHAR designation), I removed the CHAR designation since I truly want that number of bytes to be stored, and not characters (for columns I do not care about UTF8 or 16 compliance - that will also mimic the same behavior I currently have on the SQL Server side. For anything that was nvarchar in SQL Server, I went ahead and created them as VARCHAR2 with the CHAR designation, with the same size (not double the value as was in SQL Server which the documentation says it gets translated to). I did this since we probably will need true UTF-8 compliance down the line, and since I had the hood open, it was easy enough to do. I could also have converted NVARCHAR(n) to NVARCHAR2(n) (and not n*2) as what was happening in the migration.
I tested strings in both cases, and I think I have my solution.

Compare SQL Server and Oracle syntax

Hello, I am very new to the Oracle DB as I have been working with MS SQL Server for many years. I have a SQL statement that works fine in MSSQL but seems to not work in Oracle. Is this a syntax problem or do I need to look elsewhere?
DECLARE @as_master_key varchar(26)
EXEC [dbo].[GET_UNIQUE_MASTER_KEY]
     @as_project_name = N'CMDEMO',
     @as_database_site = N'CMPL',
     @as_user_initials = N'SK',
     @as_table = N'SUBMITTAL_CATEGORY',
     @as_master_key =
     @as_master_key
OUTPUT SELECT @as_master_key as N'master_key'
This is what I use in MSSQL and it works fine - but I am porting this application to an Oracle backend and it fails. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance to this newbie. :)

SQL Server and Oracle are two completely different RDBMS'.
You'd be best not to try and port SQL Server code to Oracle SQL or PL/SQL directly as it will not favour the power of Oracle's features correctly.
I'm not sure what your code is supposed to be doing (I find SQL Server code awful to read, and never understand the need for "@" before variable names, that just seems to show a lazy parser (or lazy coder who designed the parser)).
From what I can guess it's going to be something like...
SQL code...
create or replace sequence my_master_key;PL/SQL code...
DECLARE
as_master_key number;
as_project_name varchar2(20) := 'CMDEMO';
as_database_site varchar2(20) := 'CMPL';
as_user_initials varckar2(5) := 'SK';
as_table varchar2(30) := 'SUBMITTAL_CATEGORY';
BEGIN
select my_master_key.nextval
into as_master_key
from dual;
-- In 11g you could replace this select with just:
-- as_master_key = my_master_key.nextval;
END;This get's a unique sequence value into a variable and declares all the other variables. What you want to do with them after that I don't know.

Load table structure definition from Sql server and mirroring

Hi, we have to replicate some tables from sql server
into SAP dictionary.
Is there a tool/transaction for import the table structure
from a DBRMS like sql/oracle ?
Adn is there some third part solution for replicate data
from/to sql server and Sap ?
Thanks in advance.
Riccardo Galli.

Hi,
Dont know if there are any tools for this but onething is sure you will need to create the table thru SE11.
I had done something similar, created a BDC to create table and it works.
Provide the BDC with list of fields, datatype, len, key fields and the BDC will create the table.
You will need to activate the table once its created, for some reason sap put the table in "partial active" status after creation .
Good luck.

Different output of same query in SQL Server and Oracle

I have two tables table1 and table2
--table1 has two columns c1 int and c2 varchar. there are not constraints added in it. it has data as given below
c1     c2
6     d
5     j
102     g

--table2 has only one column c1 int. there are not constraints added in it. it has data as given below
c1

2
now when i run below given query in sql server and oracle it gives me different result
select *
from table1
     inner join (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by c1 ASC) AS c1 from table2) table2 on table2.c1=table1.c1
sql server output
c1     c2     c1

5     j     5
oracle output
C1 C2 C1
5 j 5
4 g 4
3 h 3
1 g 1
2 m 2
If you notice the first column in both output. It is sorted in sql server and not in oracle.
Why it is behaving differently in oracle? Is there any way I can solve this in oracle?
Thanks,
Jigs

It is NOT behaving "differently" in Oracle; you just haven't specified an order that you expect your results to be in, so you're going to get output in whatever order the database fancies displaying it (ie. no guarenteed order). This is an artifact of how the database chooses to put together the data, and different databases (or even datasets within the same database) can and most likely will behave differently.
Even SQL Server won't guarentee to always get your data in an ordered fashion if you exclude the order by clause, even if you think it has always output the data in an ordered fashion.
Your solution is to add an order by clause, in BOTH databases, to force the order of the output data.

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.
