Reinitialising sql server connection in ssms sql server express

As a beginner I added several databases to my server in sqlexpress. These are now resident in connect to server in ssms. However I used the normal delete function in windows to delete some of the databases, without realising what would happen. As a result the
server ./sqlexpress retains references to the deleted databases showing up in ssms connect to server. How do I get rid of those references please. I am using vs2010 and vs 2012 express.
I have tried connecting to the databases using ssms but since the databases don't exist the connection fails. There's also a question of passwords since i'm using sql asuthentication and these databases were used over a year ago. Quite simply I don't know what
to try and a search on re-initialization on the web only comes up with install, or re-install and seems to center around 2005 versions of vs

Can you try detach option? Right click on db name and choose detach
If that also doesn't work try Take Offline option.
This has worked for me in the past.

User objects didn't display in SQL developer connecting to MS SQL server

I follow the document steps and successfully connected to MS SQL server. I can connect and see all the objects in MS SQL if I use the SQL account with sysadmin role. Everything works fine for using the MS SQL account with sysadmin role.
However, if I use a SQL account that only have db_datareader role only, it connects fine. I can run a select statement to select any dbo tables and get data return, but I can't see any dbo objects list on the left navigator bar. It will be very helpful for users to see the objects and names in the navigator bar.
Is there anything special I have to setup in order for the objects to display in the navigator bar for MS SQL server with account have db_datareader only?

Hi user615547 ,
I do not see a bug logged on this.
The only issue I can remember beyond db_datareader is that you need
-grant view definition to <user>
on SQL Server 2005 to view a stored procedure definition that is not yours. Even if you have execute privilege you may not have view source privilege.
Can your dba illuminate how the database was locked down?
What version of SQL Server are you using ?
Which specific object browsers are failing or, are all the object browsers failing?
Does the database capture correctly? (browse and capture use slightly different queries.) You will need to create a repository on oracle and 'capture' the sql server database).

How to find which SSRS server connects to my Report Server DB?

I have a reporting services running on server A. I am using the report server db located on server B for SSRS located on Server A. How can I determine which SSRS server is connecting to the Report Server DB located on Server B??
Is there any entry in any of the tables in Report Server DB?

Hi Shanoof Bacheer,
Per my understanding you want to get the list of the reporting services instances information which are using the same report Server DB, The different reporting services instance on different servers with the Report Server DB, right?
If the Database is in a domain environment, we can try to get the list the all instances from all servers and then check which one is using the database.
You can check if Connections to the ReportServer database are open and from which Hosts they are by using below query:
SELECT hostname, *
FROM sysprocesses
WHERE dbid = DB_ID('ReportServer')
Related article for your reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179881.aspx
Another method is to find SQL Server Instances across Your Network Using Windows PowerShell for your reference:

BPEL server connection failed in Integration Server connect

I am creating an 'Integration server' in the JDeveloper.
After furnishing the details (App server name, Host, Port) on testing the connection it gets failed for BPEL process manager server:
Application Server: OK
BPEL Process Manager Server: FAILED
ESB Server: OK
The BPEL identity service failed to start because of the error: java.io.FileNotFoundException:http://hostname:8888/integration/services/testconnection/BPELConnection
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
Bin

Hi Françoise,
I think Application Server Test uses OPMN Port and for testing BPEL and ESB HTTP port is used.
Do you use default 8888 HTTP Port Number? When you create a Integration Server Connection it is default value, but maybe you have installed Oracle Application Server on another http port.

Issue with SQL Developer connect to SQL server

I'm using "SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45" to work on a migration project which needs to convert a SQL server database to a Oracle 11g database. But I got an issue when I setup the SQL server connection. The SQL Developer let me connect by selecting a SQL server database name (For example: Northwind), but once connected, it always connected to "master" database instead. The "SQL Developer" is running on Windows 7 Professional (x64) platform. My Oracle database is 11g, and SQL server database is SQL 2005. And my SQL server instance name is "SQL2005". Anyone have ever experienced this problem? Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user8276338 on Feb 8, 2011 1:05 PM

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the feedback, lets stick with SQL Developer 3.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
You attempted to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle including target generation and datamove in one go, by filling in each step of the migration wizard to the end.
During the datamove you got
ORA-01000:maximum open cursor exceeded
So it looks like SQL Developer during the migration is not closing cursors fast enough and hits the maximum number of open cursors in your Oracle database.
I think the default max open cursors is 300 in Oracle.
There are a few things we can do here.
You should be able to see the new migration project in your Migration Projects navigator.
By navigating down the project tree to "Converted Database Objects" we can attempt the data move again by right clicking and choosing "Data Move".
But first I would restart SQL Developer so as to free up any lingering open cursors.
That may allow you to complete the data move, as the only cursors being open are being used in the data move and not some cursors which may have been left open from previous steps in the migration.
Now from my perspective I would like to identify where are we leaving open the cursors, so I'm going to setup some testcases my end to see if I can replicate.
From your perspective Id presume you just want to move on with the migration.
So if the above (shutdown and attempt just the data move) doesnt workyou could
A) Increase the MAX OPEN CURSORs on your Oracle databases so it complete the data move
or
B) Use the offline data move technique.
A) Increase MAX OPEN CURSORs
This wiki explains how to do that, looks like 1000 is fairly common, but even a much larger number is not a problem
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OPEN_CURSORS
ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 10000;
OR
B) Offline Data Move
If you are moving large amounts of data (say > 1GB), then the standard data move (we call it online), which just uses JDBC to SELECT * FROM and INSERT INTO may not cut the mustard.
In this case you can try using our offline technique. SQL Developer will generate a set of scripts for you.
unload_script.bat will use SQL Servers BCP tool to dump out the table data into DAT files.
oracle_ctl.bat will load the data in the DAT files into Oracle.
As we know the names of all the tables, columns ,both SQL Server and Oracle, we can generate fairly good scripts.
The benefit of this technique is large amounts of data can be migrated and you get to use tools designed to dump data and load in data, so you have better error logging and tweaking.
To attempt this in the Migration Wizard , Data Move page, select offline.
If you can describe your database a bit (number of tables, number of procedures, amount of data to migrate) I may be able to define my testcase better so I can replicate the issue.
Thanks

SQL 2012 Linked Server connection from SQL 2000

Right. Well this isn't a SQL Server administration support site. So you need to find one for your SQL Server administration problem.
Also I would recommend you use one of the free type 4 (pure Java) JDBC drivers for connecting to SQL Server rather than the ODBC bridge driver.
Good luck in your searching!

Connecting to MS SQL server 2000 with SSMS 2008

Hello
I have been trying to solve this problem for months now and searched lots of threads, but no success.
Our office has sql server 2000 database, which is installed on Windows XP. I am given 'sa' password. On my computer, which is Windows 7, I have SSMS 2008. I am able to connect to mentioned server using Windows ODBC data source and with MS Access.
The problem is no matter what I tried, I could not connect with SSMS. When I go to "Server Connection" > "Server Name" > > "Network Servers" in SSMS, the needed server is found automatically, but I still fail to connect.
I know that SSMS 2008 should be able to connect to server2000 (or maybe I am wrong?).
Please help.

Sql Server Connection Issues

After reinstalling Windows Server 2008 R2 EE my SQL 2008 R2 Sp2 Instances have some connection issues.
The server were installed under the same hostname, but he got a new sid in my active directory.
On the server there one DB Engine MSSQLSERVER, two named Reporting Services for MS crm 4.0 and SCOM and one Analysis Services Instance.
The DB Engine will collect Data from another DB, before writing to Analysis Services.
Here are the problems on the server:
When I connect via SSMS remotly, I sometimes get this error: Failed to connect to server <hostname> ... Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server - Error 5
Both RS Instances have many event log errors like "Report Server (Instance) cannot connect to the report server database.". RS Reports are working fine, but sometimes the rendering is taking a long
time.
The DB Engine Agent Job to collect Data sometimes throw the following error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult:
0x80004005 Description: "Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection". End Error Error: 2013-12-10 06:03:40.41 Code: 0xC00291EC
User use Excel to connect to the Cube on my server. Often they got timeout errors. When they connect again it will work.
Are there any solutons on this?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
The server were installed under the same hostname, but he got a new sid in my active directory.
Did you connect to SQL Server instance with Windows authentication? Since the SID of domain account is changed, the SQL Server instace may cannot verify the login account which stored in the master with old SID. In that case, please try to connect
SQL Server with SQL authentication and then readd the domian as login the instance.

I am trying connect to a SQL instance for our CRM program and I am receiving To Connect to this Server you must use SQL Management Studio or SQL Server Management
This is a Brand new Server 2012 that is running our CRM product and it is trying to connect to a Server 2008 R2 server with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 instance (10.50.4000)
I have seen this in the past where it needed the 2005 backwards compatibility components installed but those are not supported on 2012 server and this is not a 2005 SQL instance.
I am trying to install the Shared Management Objects for SQL Server 2008 but it tells me I need to install the CLR types, which I did install. But it continues to tell me to install the CLR types.
Has anyone ran into any issues like this? (this happens trying to connect to multiple SQL Servers from this new 2012 Server)
Thanks!

Hello,
Which version and edition of the SQL Server instance did you installed on the new server machine? If you install SQL Server 2012 Express edition, you can try to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 from
this link.
You can connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 or earily verions with SSMS 2012.
What's more, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Objects Collection requires Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0, Microsoft SQL Server Native Client, and Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types. You can try to download and install
SQL Serve 2008 Feature Pack
which contains packages above.

SQL Server Connectivity Issues

Hi,
I am getting the below error intermittently. On the Database server, CPU, Disk I/O, and Network all look fine.
Any suggestions on where to track what may be causing this issue? Thanks!

Hi Tony,
Srry but No. We just installed the monthly updates.
I went back and found I had missed removing a patch. I missed the rollup for Windows Server 2003:

Every time I get stuck and ask for help it seems to be just before I stumble on the solution.
Thanks for replying.
Well - maybe this will help someone else.

SQL Server 2005 replaced with SQL Server 2014 trying to connect front end Access as guest (read only ODBC)

We have replaced a SQL Server 2005 with a SQL Server 2014 (new physical server.) Have the new server set up to use SQL Server login OR Windows user login. Had old server connecting (for a particular DB) to front end Access (2010 or 2013) as guest for
anyone logged into the Windows NT Network with a read only ODBC connection. Have the DB in the new server set to include guest as db_datareader (with only SELECT permission for the securables of each table and view being linked) but when any Windows user not
specifically listed as a SQL DB user tries to use the front end they get an error of:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][OCBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user {domain\user}.
After closing that pop-up window a server login window appears. Of course, since the guest user is not specifically listed as a user in the DB that fails also. It seems like there should be a very simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it. I want
to allow anyone logged in on the Windows system (locally) to be able to open the MS Access file (on their work station machine) and run their own (read only; select) queries on the SQL Server database. Any suggestions?
Thanks a billion in advance ----

Thanks for the response Olaf. I have now spent weeks researching this. I realize that using the guest account in most situations is not advised. As mentioned, I have restricted the guest account to allow the db_datareader role only, and have explicitly denied
all other roles, as well as allowing select only, and still have no access for the guest account.
The suggested fix in the second link you provided, of using Windows groups is not plausible for my situation either. We are a scientific field research institution, with a few long term users and lots of users that may have Windows accounts for a few months,
and then they are gone. It would be a nightmare for the network tech to try to keep a group account up to date, and we need to give access (read only, of course) to anyone logged into the system. Realize that the ONLY access of any kind to this database is
thru MS Access ACCDB, using a (by default) read only OCDB connection.
This type of access is used particularly because researchers need to be able to set up their own queries, and the MS Access query interface is particularly convenient for people who are not themselves SQL experts, yet are trying to get some very advanced
levels of output. Putting the database online is not practical because then we are back to the need for a comprehensive query interface, and just picking up general subsets of the data online (from a basic web page search feature) would be out of the question,
since the result set would involve hundreds of thousands if not millions of records.
So - that said - what exactly would you suggest, assuming we don't have the funds to buy a whole new system, and have spent plenty of money with Microsoft's Enterprise level MS Office so that all work stations have MS Access, and Microsoft's SQL Server,
as well as running our network on Microsoft's network software.
