How can I login to my MS SQL Server 2005 if I forgot my login password

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005 at home.
My problem is I forgot my password to log in to my server.
I only remember user name is 'sa'.
I haven't used it for two to three months. So I forgot password.
Previously, When I used sql server 2000, my login is as windows login. so no problem.
But this time, I set seperate log in and I got this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
George

I hope the following article will help: http://blogs.msdn.com/raulga/archive/2007/07/12/disaster-recovery-what-to-do-when-the-sa-account-password-is-lost-in-sql-server-2005.aspx
Please let us know if you have any further problems or questions.
Thanks,

How to install mini SAP in MS SQL Server 2005 Express?

Hi, is anyone know how to install the mini SAP v4.6 by using MS SQL Server 2005 Express?
I get error when connecting to the Database at 88% of the installation.
Please help. Thank you.

I do not think you can install miniSAP 4.6D on MS SQL server 2005 express.
1) you need the up todate patch to run on MSSE. If SAP did the work to allow it to run, it would be patch 55+. As supplied it is patch zero.
2) You can install on MSDE (MS SQL server 2000) patch 4. Look for my post INFO: Installing MiniSAP 4.6D on a named instance of MSDE (MS-SQL).
3) after the install on MSDE SP4 you would have to change the database code page to 'BIN2' look for the OSS note.
4) then you can start patching through to the most recent.
The main reason you cannot do this is MS have changed the version key format to include '.6' as extra info which SAP cannot interprate, too many dots.

How to convert the following query to sql server 2005

hi
i have the following query in ms access and i want to convert it into sql server 2005 express edition
SELECT iif(Max(BNo) is null,1,Max(BNo)+1) AS BNo from ( SELECT iif(Max(Product.BNo) is null,0,Max(Product.BNo)) AS BNo FROM Product union all SELECT iif(Max(grndetail.BNo) is null,0,Max(grndetail.BNo)) AS BNo FROM grndetail UNION ALL SELECT iif(Max(srdetail.BNo) is null,0,Max(srdetail.BNo)) AS BNo FROM srdetail ) as t
how to do this

The construct involving case when MAX sounds suspicious. Can you explain what the query is supposed to be doing, the structure of your table, then we can re-write it?
E.g. if you provide your table, some data and desired result, you'll get better answer than direct translation of this suspicious query.

How do you compare Oracle 10G with SQL Server 2005?

exept for performance and pricing...
We haven't decide to upgrade SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 or buy more license for Oracle 10G...
Any comments are welcome!

OK I only came here because of APC's referral down the piece (I was curious where all the hits came from - cheers Andrew). Comments embedded anyway
Thanks Gaff!
* Staff Experience with product - how flexible is
your staff?
--Staff need to learn sth. new...:)That's a fair motivation if recruitment and retention of staff is an issue - if you want reliability giving business systems to people who don't know the tech is a rather foolish move.
* Current product use Corporation/group - if you have
15 SQL Server boxes and no Oracle, what is the
impetus for change? Same if you have 15 Oracle boxes
and no SQL Server ones.
--80% SQL server and 20% Oracle. We are thinking to
balance to 50%-50%.I'm curious as to the reasoning behind this? I don't really see what the benefit is.
* Features - Do you want/need text handling
capabilities? Data mining? Storage of non-text
records? XML?
--I think both of DB system can do these.They can
* Scalability - Is one Windows box going to meet your
needs or do you need to scale (now or eventually) to
multiple boxes of multiple CPUs?
--This is really a benefit feature of Oracle better
than SQL Server.SQLServer scales - it just scales in a different way (federated databases vs RAC).
Thank u for ur US$.02Are you evaluating the platform for an in-house development or a database neutral application - if the latter I'd be sorely tempted to find out what the development platform is or read the docs for clues. For example we are looking at a product that supports SQLServer,MSDE and Oracle. In the FAQ "how do I choose between SQLServer and MSDE?", if we do implement it will be on an MS platform.
I consider this probably the most crucial factor since SQLServer and Oracle have different architectural features they tend to generate different development approaches - porting one to the other nearly always hurts the new platform. Plus if I need support I'd be hoping that I got a bug fix from a developer and not from a developer whose fix was then ported.
The same applies to in-house dev obviously, but there at least you can hire people with the right skillset for the app development.

How much Memory should be allocated to SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 installation on a server having 64GBof RAM.
SQL server is allocated 57GB of the available RAM.
Could you please tell me what would be the ideal RAM allocation for my scenario. is the one that is set now, fine.
How much RAM should be left for the OS and other processes to run?
I have around 8 databases on the server and the cumulative size of all the databases in about 800GB, these are highly used servers, used for a public domain.

Umesh,
Saeid and Uri has already given you good articles to refer to please read them. Reg SQL Server utilization I am sure you are referring to task manager which is always not correct place to look for memory utilization. Below link has query which will give
you SQL Server memory utilization
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlsakthi/archive/2011/02/28/t-sql-script-to-monitor-memory-usage-by-sql-server-instance.aspx
Article provided by Uri will give you not absolute value but almost correct value, but since you asked absolute value you need to look at performance counter to reach at correct memory utilization. If you refer to section 'Does my SQL server has low memory'
in article which Saeid gave you will find list of counters to monitor for memory utilization use the counters to reah absolute value.
>>OK, Can high RAM utilization by sql server cause the OS to restart by any chance.
IMO its not possible I have never seen SQL server being cause for OS shutdown. SQL Server works in non preemptive mode and will yield memory to OS when required. One possibility is when SQL server has locked pages in memory(LPIM) and some rouge process
or driver starts using memory from OS heavily and since SQL server memory is locked( due to LPIM privilege) it cannot trim heavily resulting in OS to terminate but this is not because of SQL server but because of bad drivers and processes leaking
memory on OS.
SQL server using memory is normal behavior
>>This question seems vague, but I had to ask this, because my server restarts abruptly and I don't get valid reasons in the Logs for that matter.
Does SQL server starts abruptly or windows OS ? Please look at event viewer for more details and SQL server logs. Is your SQL Server 2005 patched to SP4

How to do a silent configuration of SQL Server 2005 to a static tcp port ?

Hello,
I have a SQL server 2005 but after checking the ports of sql server,it is observed that dynamic ports are being used.
I want to install SQL server 2005 and configure SQL serevr to a static TCP port by using silent mode of installation.There are ways to do it using SQL configuration manager and using server network utility but I want it through the silent mode.
Please help to assist how this can be achieved through silent mode of installation.

Hi AshishB,
According to your description, you want to configure SQL Server to a static TCP port by using silent mode of installation. I recommend you use WMI scripting and the SQL Server WMI provider. After installation, change the TCP/IP port with the script. For
more information about silent installing with fixed TCP port, you can review the following article.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/914f8b72-3164-47ae-91fb-f7ed6f8ea7e6/silent-install-with-fixed-tcp-port?forum=sqlexpress
There is detail about how to configure that manual by launching the SQL Server configuration manager, enabling TCP/IP connections, specifying the ports from the command line, you can review the following post.

How to set the CLASSPATH for an Sql Server 2005 database... help me please

Hello! Guys I want to access a Sql Server 2005 database from Java.I've downloaded the JDBC 2.0 driver from Microsoft.I've copied the sqljdbc4.jar file to C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\db\lib.And I've added this to the classpath C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\db\lib\sqljdbc4.jar.The classpath variable is defined as a user variable.Well the point is that I get that nasty exception:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.So if you know how to help me,please do so.Thank you :)

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
your Oracle sales rep about it.
2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
additional information.

How can I export image column from SQL Server 2000

Hi everybody,could someone tell me how can I export an entire column( pictures type) to a folder on disk?I've tried the textcopy.exe under the SQL installation's binn folder,it can only export one picture a time,I'm trying to find an automated way to export
the whole colum's images to a folder,I'm using SQL Server 2000.

Vishal,thanks for the replay,I've tried the BCP method but it seems does not work on my Sql Server 2000,also the SSIS package method is demonstrated with Sql Server 2008 R2 and my machine does not have the visual application to try it.In the BCP method,I
got prompt indicating me that I wrote something wrong in the grammer,and I'm pretty sure that maybe I made something wrong in the below part,the grammer makes me confused
INSERT
INTO @sqlStatements
SELECT 'BCP "SELECT Photograph_Data FROM [ALBSCH_Trial].[dbo].[Photograph] WHERE Photograph_ID = '''
+ CAST(Photograph_ID AS VARCHAR(500)) + '''" queryout ' + @OutputFilePath
+ CAST(Photograph_ID AS VARCHAR(500)) + '.jpg -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS2008 -T -f C:\SQLTest\Images.fmt'

How can this encoding be saved in SQL Server 2008

hi all,
We are using Sql Server 2008, it has this collation set "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". Please have a look at this file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxWAyvJA9ZjCdkFNN3BXZUw3dEE/view?pli=1
its a text file in text format (ascii test data format aka ATDF). Its coming from French vendor and it contains some French words. We have to parse this and upload data to sql server. We do that all the time except this file is not working. It just disturbs
the way sql server is saving data for us, and upon showing this saved data on application UI, the correct letters don't display. The upload happens via the Bulk Insert command. Please guide as to where to start. Also please let me know exactly what this format
is called, do we call it just unicodes, or some utf formats. I'm really ignorant when it comes to unicode. Thanks a lot!

You can but be careful.
Restore the database as MSDB_Restored and then query sysjobs, sysjobsteps and sysjobschedules to get the details of your job and then use the detail to recreate the Job.

Basic steps as how to web usage mine in sql server 2005

Hi there,
I am doing a project on web usage mining of my universities server logs and im just wondering how i go about mining them in sql server 2005?
Do i mine them in one table? do i normalise the web log data? what algorithms will i use on them as im trying to get usage patterns from the users and also where most of the users come from.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Hi
Here’re some thoughts that might help you design your Data Mining for weblogs:
1.     You can put the data in one or more tables as per the semantics of the data. Data which is an entity by itself should be put in a flat table with one key per entry (user sessions on the web server for example), whereas some data naturally will have a many to one relation with the primary data (page visits per session for example) and can be put in a separate table with primary/foreign key relationship. SQL Server 2005 will model them as case table/nested table for the purpose of mining.
2.     Normalize: Depends on what your data looks like. If you want to run clustering algorithm and your data has two attributes, A and B and A is 10 times more important than B, you should normalize accordingly. If the actual values of A are in order of thousand and actual values ob B are in order of tens and they are equally important, you should again normalize. However, if you want to use the as-is value without a weight, you do not have to normalize the data.
3.     Usage Patterns, like a sequence of page visits can be modeled using sequence clustering algorithm. User categorization based on attributes might be a clustering algorithm. If you have more information on what you want to find out, I might be able to suggest more specific choices.
Hope this helps

Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

Hi All,
I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
Then CR should ahve no issues.
It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
Thanks again
