SQL Server 2005 repair

I have a SQL Server (on Windows XP) where I have published reports using Report Manager and a bunch of databases. Within the SQL Server, I have jobs scheduled to run updates on tables, etc. I came in this morning to find that the root drive died. My drive is partitioned such that my databases aren't on the root drive - so I was able to salvage the databases.I was able to use a prior hard drive (from about a month ago - we upgraded) and load current databases to the old drive. I'm trying to bring the old drive up to speed with today's data, jobs, files... .My databases seemed to load fine.What I can't do is view any of the reports that use Report Manager. A few questions:1. Are the jobs that run through SQL Server stored in a different directory than the databases? 2. Any idea of what's happening with accessing report manager reports?...

How to completely clean previous Primavera P6 and OracleXE ,SQL server 2005 for fresh new re installation

Hi
I am using XP SP3 and I had previous successful installation for Primavera P6 8.3 with samples in the past, until my hard drive gave a message that’s its almost full, I tried to move the database to D:\ but I was stuck and lost connection with data base, I made uninstall for Primavera from add remove programs then made "Deinstalling Oracle Database XE" and followed all steps in the article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD
to clean the registry and all traces of the old installation, and uninstalled Microsoft SQL server 2005 with all components,
When I re installed Primavera with sample projects everything was ok until the mid of oracleXE installation I had an error message , I run Primavera P6 8.3 setup again and chose to repair installation , this time gave me installation finished.
When I run Primavera I am not able to connect to Database, even traces of old installation like Alias names which was previously used exists .
When I connect to database through web home page I can log in as “system” but it has only HR in it, and users are 12 internal and 1 HR with no ADMPRM$PM.
I don’t think that sample projects are downloaded,
How to reconnect with database and install the Primavera sample projects. or even to clean all traces for the Primavera and data base oracleXE then make fresh re install , Thanks. Zeyad

Error when opening BIDS 2005 - SQL Server 2005 - Urgent to solve

Hi,
today I've a problem when I try to launch the BIDS 2005: an error message says that isn't possible to find a component and says to reinstall the application. I cannot any records inside the event viewer that could help me. The SQL Server 2005 build is 9.00.5069.00.
BIDS 2005 is installed on my machine that has Windows 7 64-bit. Moreover I've also SQL Server 2008 R2 and BIDS 2008 R2: I cannot open also this tool for the same error.
Any suggests to me, please?
Thanks

Hi Pscorca,
According to your description, you cannot start Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) in SQL Server 2005 and 2008 with the error "isn't possible to find a component and says to reinstall the application". As per my understanding, the issue
can be caused by some SQL Server files were corrupted. It's hard to give you the root reason that cause this issue based on the limited information.
In your scenario, please drive the BIDS installation folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2), try to open BIDS and check if this issue persists or not. Besides, you can try to repair SQL Server
installation using stepup.exe.
Hope this helps.

Can't Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express Tools

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Trial and receive the follow error during installation.
"The SQL Server 2005 Express Tools are installed. To continue, remove the SQL Server 2005 Express Tools."
I have used Add or Remove programs to remove all components of SQL Server 2005 Express. I have even reinstalled the Workstation Tools of SQL Server 2005 just so I could indiviually remove those tools, and then completly removed the SQL 2005 installation.
I have used regedit to search for any instance of SQL Server 2005, there is none.
There is still an entry for SQL Server Mangement Express in my all programs listing. However trying to launch that program fails with errors, so it is partial still installed.
Can anyone tell me how to wipe out these last bits of SQL Server 2005 Express Tools? I have tried everything I have found searching this forum to no avail.

Renaming or deleting the registry key was the only solution for me. It is not eough to rename a sub-key, I found you must rename or remove the key at the level of "\90"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90
I have not tried every permutation but these are the previous steps in order that were NOT helpful.
Sometimes it is good to know what has been tried and does not work, so you do not spend time in dead ends.
These do NOT work
1. resolution at this link did not work for me although it worked for that person
"rename registry key "
http://jasonfollas.com/blog/archive/2008/06/19/sql-server-2008-rc0-install-sql2005ssmsexpressfacet.aspx
rename key from: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
to: ShellSEM.old
(If I had renamed \90 it might have succeeded)
2. solution at this link did not work for me although it worked for that person
"changing the Regional Settings of my computer"
http://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2008/02/22/840.aspx
3. reset.cmd
download and execute reset.cmd to reset many registry settings
Nope, no luck
4. download entire 2008 express package as an ISO file in the small chance any previous files were corrupted.
The ISO image was 744 meg, which can only be burned onto a double-layer disk.
Then I remembered I don't have a double-layer burner.
Duh.
5. removing 3rd party tools
- Remove SQL Server 2005 Express Tools
- Remove Red-Gate SQL Prompt if installed.
http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2008/08/14/quotThe-SQL-Server-2005-Express-Tools-are-installed.-To-continue.aspx
mainly because neither were actually listed in add/remove programs, nor was Red Gate in the registry
(or redgate, red-gate, red_gate)
6. "Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions"
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx
7. rename the instance of SQL Server 2008 when installing
Nope.
8. With Add/remove programs, remove
- sql server 2005
- anything else that had in the title "sql server 2005"
- sql server system clr types (which sounded sort of like a 3-rd party tool and I had not used it in a year)
- remove folder
c:\program files\microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server90
Nope, no luck
10. With a Microsoft tool "Windows Install Clean Up" inspect any add/remove programs that were removed and absolutely remove their install logs
Nope. So it was not due to any residual information from SQL Server 2005
11. With Add/remove programs, remove
- anything that has the title sql server 2008
and try to re-install, which did not work.
Finally found this thread and deleted the key and the installation succeeded.
It did not take 2 days, but almost.
This is a test, right? We have to navigate all the half-good information and actually succeed installing SQL Server 2008 then we earn the privilege to use it? Yay!

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.

Can't see data in data tab - sql server 2005

hello,
i am connected to a sql server 2005 database (with jtds driver), the connection is ok, i see the tables but i can't see data in data tab.
i have an error : incorrect syntax
somebody can help me ?
thank's in advance
alex

definitely. I was going to say, make sure you have the privileges to read data.
From Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on, it is recommended that you are a member of the db_datareader - so that data in the database can be read

Unable to start SQL Server Browser service in Sql server 2005

we are unable to start the SQL browser service on one of our machine with below error.
I believe this to be the reason, why we could not connect to the instance with below error
I tried troubleshooting as mentioned here, by changing
value in registry from 1 to 0, but still no luck.
SQLservices are also running.
Please help on how to resolve this!

Hello,
You say that SQL Server Browser Service belongs to a SQL Server 2005, but based on the name of the instance is a SQL Server
2012 instance.
Do you have any issues installing/uninstalling SQL Server 2005 or 2012? One of them 32-bit and the other 64-bit?
Hope this helps.

Unable to Access SQL Server 2005 Remotedly

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this...
After going through lot of old posts in various forums and changing lot of settings, i'm still not able to access my Server remotely.
This is Windows 2003 Server machine with Sonicwall Firewall, i have allowed Port 1433 in both Firewall and ISA and call is getting through but i'm getting following error msg :-
{"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"}
This machine is also having Sql Server 2000, and the SQL Server 2005 is installed with named instance.
My connection string is :-
"Data Source=192.168.0.1\MYSERVER;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True"
In example above, i'm showing dummy values but actual string is having the actual live IP address and correct named instance and database.
If i use a local address like 192.168.0.1 then i'm able to connect.
My TCP/IP Address in Sql configuration is having my Live IP Address and the port 1433.
Any help will be highly appreciable..

i'm still checking on this. i have changed the port now to 1434 and changed in all places.
my connection string is also changed now, so now i'm using :- MYIP\MYSERVER,1434
now i'm getting a different error msg
{"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)"}
this can also be due to firewall or something else is blocking it, i will rechk n post back final answer.

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

SQL Server 2008 R2 Std with SQL Server 2005 Express Subscriptions

If we have SQL Server 2005 Express Merge Replication Subscriptions that synch to a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. Do
the Subscriptions still have same file size limitations even though they synch to a Proper Standard Version of SQL Server 2008?
If so what are these limitations?
What happens in the instance where by the server file becomes huge then the Subscriptions will not allow the data to replicate
as the Express Subscription engine has a file size limitation - or does this not matter??

You will get messages on your SQL Server Express servers that the merge agent cannot write to the SQL Express database. These messages are difficult to debug as you don't get a warning you have exceeded the size limit on the subscriber.

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.

"Unable to load URL" - SQL Server 2005 DB Web Service Connection

Hi ,
I am using XCelsius version 5.0.0.99 to create dashboards connecting to SQL Server 2005.
Find below the details of the steps -
1. Created a web service within SQL Server 2005 database.
2. Copied the WSDL URL.
3. In XCelsius 2008 -> Data Manager -> Web Service Connection, pasted the URL in the WSDL URL input box and clicked "Import" to import the methods. At this point I am getting "Unable to load URL" .
Am I missing any step ?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Note : I have tested the web service by using it in a ASP.Net project and works fine.
Thanks
Chitra

Hi,
Error :unable to Load URL occurs" because Crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service created from Query as a web service and Flynet tool available in xcelsius 2008.
The reason:
All the web service create from Sql 2005 ,PHP script produced multiple scehma web service and crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service which can be created from Query as a web service or Flynet.
Please revert in case of any queries.

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
Resolution
Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
Import the universe from the designer.
Go to File->Parameters.
Edit Connection.
On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
Change the DSN to new DSN connection
Test the connection.
Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
Solution2:
I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
Resolution
To resolve,
check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
server\folder)
Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
If the path is not updated to the new path
Reboot the server
