Hello,
What you request can be done with DB Connect.
A good starting point is the following link :
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/58/54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/58/54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/content.htm]
Also I recommend to search further on SDN because there are some interesting posts on connecting BW to external databases like SQL Server.

Connecting SQL Server 2008 + CF8 mac

Hello,
I am currently porting all of our access databases to SQL Server 2008 and i am using a mac for development. If anyone can tel me how to connect sql server database from the cfadmin on mac to a virtual environment on parallels 5. In the cfadmin on mac SQL Server is listed as a kown datasource you can connect to but the only way i see to do this is thru a virtual environment or remote.
Please help
Thanks,
D

Having not used Parallels in some time I couldn't say for sure, but essentially that SQL engine needs to be accessible from Coldfusion on an IP address somewhere. Depending on what networking mode you're using, that'll either be:
1 - Its own IP
2 - Localhost, or 127.0.0.1
As long as your ColdFusion instance has network access to the SQL box, there's no additional config required.

How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012

How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
But if fails. I get the following message text.
Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
Here is the error message. Thanks.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Restore of database failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)

Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition

How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

The best solution is to create table type and pass the DataTable as table-valued parameter. I have an article on my web site about this:

The full article is a bit of overkill for what you are doing right now, but just the few first pages should get you going.

Creating dynamic database connection (SQL server 2008) from Adf application

Hello,
I am creating an ADF Fusion Application. I use Jdev. 11.1.2.3.0 , WebLogic 10.3 and MS SQL server 2008 database. My question is that how can I create a database connection configuration file, now I connect to the database through hard coding, there should be a way to do this with sql server I think.
my database name is : testDatabase
my database username is : testUser
my database password is : testPassword
Anybody can help me please.
Thanks,
Shahe

Hello Frank,
The database schema is the same for all the users, but the location of the database differs, for example: I have set the hostname of the database to localhost because the database is installed on the local pc, but to other clients the database is installed on a managed server so in the hostname I should put the server's ip address or name. So I need an external file where I can set these options.
Thanks,
Shahe

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

How to Connect SQL Server enterprises Manager Version 8.0 with Form 6i

Dear experts
I want to know that How can I connect SQL server Enterprise Manager Version 8.0 with Forms/reprots 6i.
currently I have oracle 9i database at server windows 2003 and I also connected with client (my PC) I work on server.
I also have SQL server in that server 2003 machine and this SQL Server also work with other clients that have VB program.
I want to know that can I connect with this SQL server with Form 6i?

You can't. The closest thing would be to create links in an oracle database to the SQL Server database using Heteregeneous Services and connect forms to the that.
This forum is for the SQLDeveloper tool. You will get more complete answers in the "Database General", or "Heterogeneous Services" forums

Hi Merry,
Seems that you have to add the "provider" attribute to the connectionstring. Please have a look at the following link: [http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008#p2]

How to connect sql server using oracle Client

Hi,
I am working in oracle9i and windows os 32 bit.
I need to connect SQL server 2000 from my oracle client..
I heard about heterogeneous connectivity ...
Please expalin me the steps what to add and how to connect the sql server...
Regs....

Are you trying to connect to SQL Server from your Oracle database (i.e. create a database link in Oracle to SQL Server)? Or are you trying to connect to SQL Server using your Oracle client software (i.e. SQL*Plus)?
The former just requires Heterogeneous Services with Generic Connectivity. The latter is functionality that has been depricated and probably no longer works in your environment.

How to stop SQL Server 2008 R2 generating SQLDump.mdmp files constantly?

Something went wrong with local SQL Server 2008 R2 and it constantly generates SQLDump.mdmp files. It generated 40Gb(!) of SQLDump.mdmp this morning. Server rebooted, but didn't help.
Any ideas what happened with SQL Server and how to stop SQLDump.mdmp files generation?
SharePoint 2007 - 2010 Tips & Tricks Portal | Microsoft MVP |

Memory Dumps are generated automatically by the SQL Server under various circumstances - most of which indicate potential problems in the Instance or the machine. Some that I can recall right now are:
Database Corruption
Non-yielding scheduler
Non-yielding resource monitor
AV (Access Violation)
There can be several other reasons as well. SQL Server generates the dumps, so that these dumps can be analyzed to find out potential problems in the SQL Server.
IMHO, rather than trying to find out ways to stop the dumps from being generated, please try to find out potential problems in the Instance or the machine and fix that. This will stop the dump generation anyway.
In case you need any assistance in analyzing the Dumps, please feel free to engage Microsoft Support.
