SQL Server 2000 db corruption and tools.

Hi!
The databse corruption hit our sql server 2000, 200 Gb database.

Never heard of DBCC DBINFO, so I looked around. It requires that you turn on trace flag 3604 first. However, I was not able to find any date for DBCC CHECKDB on the database I tested:
DBCC TRACEON (3604, 1)
DBCC DBINFO(bos_sommar)
Gave (and this was SQL 2000):
{code]
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver and databasename

Hi,
I have tried to switch from using WebLogic jDriver for MS SQL Server to using
MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC Driver as recommended by Bea for WebLogic 7.0. I can get
the connection pooling to work with the new driver but I cannot get it to work
for certain database. It seems to always connect to the defaul database even though
I specify the database in console with property databasename=DBNAME. Any ideas
what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Jouni

We had this working fine with WLS7, this is the entry from our config.xml
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
InitialCapacity="50" MaxCapacity="50" Name="SQLServerConnectionPool" Password="{3DES}UkODkM1JaCU="
Properties="user=Destin8;SelectMethod=cursor;databaseName=Destin8V3" ShrinkingEnabled="false"

Hope this helps..

Callable Statement + SQL Server 2000

I am using the Microsoft SQl Server 2000 JDBC driver and a CallableStatement (Java). The call is to a (SELECT action) stored procedure which works fine in Query Manager with the same login params. I am getting a "Could not find stored procedure" error?? I am using the fully qualified procedure name. I have looked on TechNet for this type problem but to no avail.
Thanks

I'm getting this same problem on one of my stored procs.
Did you ever get to the bottom of your problem?

SQL Server 2000 auditing on DML changes on user tables to user databases

Please let me know if you know if there is any procedure or steps to determine DML changes on user tables in database.

Hello,
You can use triggers as shown in the following article:
http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-audit-changes-to-sql-server-data.html
You may also consider third party tools that may still support SQL Server 2000. The following tool supported SQL Server 2000 a few years
ago, not sure about today:

Server side traces may be another option:

SQL Server 2000/CFMX 7 - connection refused: connect

Hi all,
I have been trying to troubleshoot this for a few weeks now,
I have looked high and low and tried multiple solutions that worked
for other people, none have worked for me.
I have SQL Server 2000 Version 8 and Coldfusion 7.0.2.
I can't seem to make a database connect in Administrator. I
have tried changing the port that SQL Server listens on, I made a
new security role in SQL Server specifically for the database I'm
creating, I tried making an ODBC connection (which can see the SQL
Server) in windows then connecting to that, nothing is working.
I thought it might be the windows firewall, it isn't since it
is off, my TCP/IP protocol is enabled, I am running out of ideas.
If anyone can suggest anything, please do this is what I see
everytime.
Connection verification failed for data source: IFDA

The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:

I'm dying over here.
Thanks.

This might be a dumb question, but have you searched Google
groups? Its one of the first places I go when I get error messages
I don't understand.
Googling this:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC

Sql server 2000 connection error

Hi everyone ,
I am trying to connect Sql server 2000 using ODI and trying to pass the parameters.
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;SelectMethod=cursor;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=false
username : sa
password : *******
error :
connection failed
com.sunopsis.sql.c: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
can some one help me to make it worked out especially enabling IPaddress in Sql server 2000. both for the Server and network utility have 1433 as the port for tcp/ip .
Thanks

Firstly, this message normally means that you do not have the JAR files for the driver in your classpath. The classpath is created dynamically at startup of the ODI process, so the jar needs to be in the drivers directory before you start.
Second, even if you are using SQL Server 2000, the recommendation is to use the SQL Server 2005 driver, available from the Microsoft site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx). It is much more capable and reliable. Note that you will need to use a different Driver name, and the URL format is also slightly different.
Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://[serverName[\instanceName][:portNumber]][;property=value[;property=value]]

SQL Server 2000 auditing/tracking DML changes on specific tables.

Hello,
We would like to audit/track all DML activities on couple of tables which reside on SQL Server 2000. Triggers are an option we think but thought that would impact performance because of activity on those tables. Could someone please suggest any other best
options that are possible with SQL Server 2000 to capture these changes.
Thanks,

Create datasource from SQL Server 2000

successfully create DB connect source system from Northwind database in SQL Server 2000.
create datasource and activate, got error:
@5C\QError@ Event with errors RSDL_META_UPLOAD in DataSource
@5D\QWarning@ Field name CategoryID contains non-alpha-numeric characters
How to avoid this error?

Hi,
CategoryID have problem. Check data in source system and check data type for CategoryID in BW sys.
It could be care as CategoryID having some alphabets and while creating info objects in sys you make data type as Number.

Java Web Server 6.1 & Pooled SQL Server 2000 JDBC Connections

If anyone can shed some light on this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
I am unsuccessfully trying to use a database connnection retrieved from a pool configured using Java System Web Server 6.1 with the SQL Server 2000 JDBC Driver.
The background:
1. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2000 JDBC Driver and installed it on the web server.
2. I used the Administration GUI to add the .jars(namely msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar), to the classpath.
3. Upon creating a simply JSP to access connection metadata using the direct connect method, ie.,
Class.forName( com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver:// ....
I am shown a successful output of...
JDBC Test
Registering JDBC Driver
driverClass: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver loaded and registered.
Driver Information
Driver Name: SQLServer
Driver Version: 2.2.0037
Database Information
Database Name: Microsoft SQL Server
Database Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )
Avalilable Catalogs
catalog: master
catalog: msdb
catalog: Northwind
catalog: pubs
catalog: tempdb
4. This tells me that the web server has access to the files necessary and the classpath is configured correctly.
Now the fun begins...
In order to set up the JDBC Connection Pool I have done the following...
1. I have created a web.xml file for the web-app which contains the JSP and includes the following entry
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/devjwscp</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
2. I have used the "JDBC Connection Pools" link under the "Java" tab in the Administration GUI to create a connection pool.
"Pool Name:" is "devjwscp"
"DataSource Classname" is set to "com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource". All other properties have been left alone.
3. I have used the "JDBC Resources" link under the "Java" tab in the Administration GUI to create a JNDI resource.
"JNDI Name" is set to "jdbc/devjwscp"
"Status" is "true"
"Pool Name" is "devjwscp"
The web-app JSP comes back with the following exception.
JDBC Test

What gives? Do I need to add anything else to the server.xml? I know the server.xml for JWS differs from Apache. I have done an exhaustive search of the web. Many other individuals have had the same thing happen, buy none of them offered any explaination or remedy.

SQL Server 2000 with IBM websphere 4.0

Let me know how does SQL server 2000 connect with and talk to IBM websphere 4.0.
If you can also send me a sample architecture diagram.
Thanks

Hello,
It seems you need to install i-net OPTA in IBM WebSphere 4.o to be able to connect to a SQL Server
2000 instance. Please read the following article for more information:

Creating a connection to MS SQL Server 2000...

Hi ,
Using the :
1)Oracle SQL Developer 1.1.3 and 1.2.1 ,
2)MS SQL Server 2000 - both db and agent are running ,
I cannot create a connection to MS SQL Server (error: "Failure - Network Error IO Exception : Connection refused : connect").
Both software - and Oracle DB , as well- have been installed on the same server(Win XP) and i have deactivated the firewall , without the desired result....
Also the server is standalone and does have a static IP Address....
What can I do ...????
Thanks....
Sim

I have also downloaded and installed the SQL Developer 1.5.0.53.
When i declare the same settings to SQL SERVER DB - as in the other SQL Developer versions(1.1.3 and 1.2.1)- I get a different error message..:
"Failure - Cannot connect to SQL Server on localhost" - whereas in the other versions i get[i] "Failure - Network Error IO Exception : Connection refused : connect".
When i declare another host name (one that does not exist , for example "localhost1") then the error message is :"Failure : Unknown host name localhost1".
So ,the above tests may show that the error seems to be in the port setting....however , i cannot verify it since the port setting is 1433 - the one i declare in the connection.
Do you have an idea....????
I would be grateful if somebody could provide some 'light'.....!!!!

Communication Failing with Corrupted Chars . Sql Server 2000 and AS400

Hi Experts,
I am facing this below error after 9 yrs. sql server 2000 and As400 on prod server. while on dev and stage it's running properly. Here username is ABCD, while it's showing BCD
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "" reported an error. Authentication failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399) Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "xxxxx".
[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7303) OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
[SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412) OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server returned message "[IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure. comm rc=8001 - CWBSY0001 -
User BCD on server does not exist, Password length = 8, Prompt Mode = Never, System IP Address = "xxxxx". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.
Here ABCD user is also disabling/locking the profile on AS400 server.
When we tried on Dev server, linked server through DSN working properly. Last time when it appeared 2 yrs ago, it resolved automatically. but now more than 10 days passed and still Failing.
Please Guide Me.
Regards,
Manish

So this setup has worked for nine years, and all of a sudden stopped working with this error message? Does not look trivial...
What does Here ABCD user is also disabling/locking the profile on AS400 server mean? Is ABCD able to log in directly on the AS400 box?
One possibility is that the user ABCD has been dropped or disabled, and then there is a bug in the ODBC driver where the first character of the username is distorted in the error message. I note that there are two spaces between "User" and "BCD".
The other possibility is that the AS400 is receiving a login attempt from BCD (or something that ends in BCD with an invisible leading character). This sounds very difficult to troubleshoot...

ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

Hi all-
I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
Current configuration
- Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
- Oracle 10g Database (target)
- MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
-Windows XP
-ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
Errors:
I. When I test the ODBC connection:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
TESTS FAILED!
Now here is what has me totally confused:
I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
Thanks

1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread. The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft. As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
out to be the correct solution. I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night. Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!" which means "WELL DONE!!

posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.) But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out.
You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question. I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K. I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases." So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced. So before you mark a reply
as an answer read the question.

Unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005 on Satellite A205-s5831

Hello everyone.
I Needs some helps from all of you.
I have Toshiba Laptop Satellite A205-S5831.
Its Have Windows Vista Home Premium.
And I am unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005.
I also Unable to Install Windows XP SP2.
Problem is SATA driver.
Plz Help me ...!
Response me

Hi
The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:

Regarding SQL server issue;
Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software

SQL Server 2000 db corruption and tools.
