SQL Server Gateway Licensing - Production and Test

I have a client who has two databases that need to use the SQL Server Gateway - production and test (two separate servers).
As the gateway is separately licensed and can be installed on a separate machine from the database server am I right in saying that only one license is needed for the Gateway
and that both test and production databases can use it?
The Oracle Partner that they use is telling them that they need to buy two Gateway licences.
Can any one help? Thanks!

Where can I find the SQL Server Gateway for 816 and beyond?

All,
What CD is used to install the SQLServer Gateway?
Any info would be great. Thanks.

If you are talking about SQL Server Transparent Gateway, you
need to buy it separate and it costs around $15K.
It does not come with the standard enterprise edition.

How many licenses - Production and test systems

Sorry if posting in the wrong forum:
I need to purchase Adobe coldfusion enterprise 8 for use on a production server. Developers will also need this installed on a QA(TEST) server. Question is, can we install one version on both servers or do we need to purchase a license for each? Thanks for any guidance.

My word does not trump what ever an Adobe Representative will tell you when you contact them.
But yes. If you want two servers set up in which more then two users can connect, then you need to license both servers.
Some ways around this, that may or may not work for you.
The developer license of CF is free. This allows for ColdFusion to be installed on a developer's workstation and will allow two remote IP addresses to connect to it after each start of the ColdFusion service|dameon.
The Enterprise server allows for multipe ColdFusion instances to be running on a single physical server. Each instance gets it's very own completly sperate configuration and memory space. It would be possible to set up one instance to be used as the QA server and another to be used as the production server.
But for real answers you need to talk to a ColdFusion representative at Adobe. Just know that is NOT the generic sales person one gets by calling the normal Adobe support | sales numbers. At least they have not been historically.

Sql server gateways generating prety huge logs.

Hi All,
We are having a sql server gateways for 11GR2 and somehow , it's going crazy , in terms of generating the trace files. I am a newbie here , and have no clue , where to start troubleshooting on this. Following is the information , I tried to explore and did not find anything, which is causing this.
[oracle@ampxp1d1]:$pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/gwy11.2.0.3/dg4msql/log

#HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
TRACE_LEVEL=0

Hi,
The only way trace files should be generated is if the HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL has been set but this doesn't seem to be the case here.
What are the dates and contents of the log files ? Do they show 'hgopars' statements for the SQL being executed and then 'fetch' statements ?
Could you do the following -
- comment out the TRACE_LEVEL parameters.
- comment out the HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL parameters
Do you still see traces generated ?
If you did have the trace level set to something other than OFF and changed it then it will only be picked up by users when they make a new gateway connection. If they have an existing connection then it will still be producing trace files until they close the existing connection and create a new one.

SQL Server 2005 High Availability and Disaster Recovery options

Hi, We are are working on a High Availability & Disaster Recovery Planning solution for an application database which is on SQL Server 2005. What different options have we got to implement this for SQL Server 2005 and after we have everything setup how
do we test the failover is working?
Thanks in advance.........
Ione

DR : Disaster recovery is the best option for the business to minimize their data loss and downtime. The SQL server has a number of native options. But, everything is depends upon your recovery time objective RTO and recovery point objective RPO.
1. Data center disaster
Geo Clustering
2. Server(Host)/Drive (Except shared drive) disaster
Clustering
3. Database/Drive disaster
Database mirroring
Log shipping
Replication
Log shipping
Log shipping is the process of automating the full database backup and transaction log on a production server and then automatically restores them on to the secondary (standby) server.
Log shipping will work either Full or Bulk logged recovery model.
You can also configure log shipping in the single SQL instance.
The Stand by database can be either restoring or read only (standby).
The manual fail over is required to bring the database online.
Some data can be lost (15 minutes).
Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
Peer-to-peer transactional replication is designed for applications that might read or might modify the data in any database that participates in replication. Additionally, if any servers that host the databases are unavailable, you can modify the application
to route traffic to the remaining servers. The remaining servers contain same copies of the data.
Clustering
Clustering is a combination of one or more servers it will automatically allow one physical server to take over the tasks of another physical server that has failed. Its not a real disaster recovery solution because if the shared drive unavailable we cannot
bring the database to online.
Clustering is best option it provides a minimum downtime (like 5 minutes) and data loss in case any data center (Geo) or server failure.
Clustering needs extra hardware/server and it’s more expensive.
Database mirroring
Database mirroring introduced in 2005 onwards. Database Mirroring maintain an exact copy of a database on a different server. It has automatic fail over option and mainly helps to increase the database availability too.
Database mirroring only works FULL recovery model.
This needs two instances.
Mirror database always in restoring state.

http://www.slideshare.net/rajib_kundu/disaster-recovery-in-sql-server
HADR Considerations
Need to Understand the business motivations and regulatory requirements that are driving the customer's HA/DR requirements. Understand how your customer categorizes the workload from an HA/DR perspective. There is likely to be an alignment between the needs
and categorization.
Check for both the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) for different workload categories, for both a failure within a data center (local high availability) and a total data center failure (disaster recovery). While RPO and
RTO vary for different workloads because of business, cost, or technological considerations, customers may prefer a single technical solution for ease in operations. However, a single technical solution may require trade-offs that need to be discussed with
customers so that their expectations are set appropriately.
Check and understand if there is an organizational preference for a particular HA/DR technology. Customers may have a preference because of previous experiences, established operational procedures, or simply the desire for uniformity across databases from
different vendors. Understand the motives behind a preference: A customers' preference for HA/DR may not be because of the functions and features of the HA/DR technology. For example, a customer may decide to adopt a third-party solution for DR to maintain
a single operational procedure. For this reason, using HA/DR technology provided by a SAN vendor (such as EMC SRDF) is a popular approach.
To design and adopt an HA/DR solution it is also important to understand the implications of applying maintenance to both hardware and software (including Windows security patching). Database mirroring is often adopted to minimize the service disruption
to achieve this objective.
HADR Options :
Failover clustering for HA and database mirroring for DR.
Synchronous database mirroring for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Geo-cluster for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Failover clustering for HA and storage area network (SAN)-based replication for DR.
Peer-to-peer replication for HA and DR (and reporting).
Backup & Restore ( DR)
keep your server DB backups in network location ( DR)
Always keep your sql server 2005 upto date, in case if you are not getting any official support from MS then you have to take care of any critical issues and more..

SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and Windows 8.1 (Standard)

I recently re-engineered the backend of a legacy Access 2003 application because we knew that going forward we were going to loose the replication capability in Access. This is a small, departmental app, so the new SQL Server Express 2008 R2 backend is
hosted on a robust Windows 7 system. I tested the implementation with both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients running the updated Access 2003 frontend and everything worked great.
We are now in the midst of a company-wide upgrade to Windows 8.1 and I'm having issues. The legacy frontend works fine with Access 2013 (full version) when run locally on the Win7 machine, but I can't get any of the new Win 8.1 clients to connect to the
SQL database using the Access 2013 Runtime module. I CAN create ODBC connections to SQL Server from the clients and they test successfully, so I think I have a valid SQL connection to the Win 7 box.
To recap: old clients were WinXP Pro with Office 2003 Pro, new clients are Win 8.1 (non-Pro) with Access 2013 Runtime module.
Any ideas?

Hi ,
Glad to hear that you have found the solution. Thank you for coming back and let us know the result:)

SQL Server evaluation license expired

I have a discovery system I installed in Feb 2007. Due to other work we've not used the system in a while. I'm resurrecting it and the SQL evaluation license has expired. In reading thru the forum, it's suggested that tiy detach the databases, uninstall the eval and install a licensed copy. Since SQL server qon't start, how do you detach the databases?

I've Installed a licensed SQL Server, attached the databases and am getting an error when I try to log in:

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Sql server partition parent table and reference not partition child table

Hi,
I have two tables in SQL Server 2008 R2, Parent and Child Table.
Parent has date time, and it is partitioned monthly, there is a Child table which just refer the Parent table using Foreign key relation.
is there any problem the non-partitioned child table referring to a partitioned parent table?
Thanks,
Areef

The tables will need to be offline for the operation. "Offline" here, means that you wrap the entire operation in a transaction. Ideally, this transaction would:
1) Drop the foreign key.
2) Use ALTER TABLE SWITCH to drop the old data.
3) Use ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION to drop the old empty partition.
4) Use ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION to add a new empty partition.
5) Reapply the foreign keys WITH CHECK.
All but the last operation are metadata-only operation (provided that you do them right). To perform the last operation, SQL Server must scan the child tbale and verify that all keys are present in the parent table. This can take some time for larger tables.
During the transaction, SQL Server holds Sch-M locks on the table, which means that are entirely inaccessible, even for queries running with NOLOCK.
You avoid this the scan by applying the fkey constraint WITH NOCHECK, but this can have impact on query plans, as SQL Server will not consider the constraint as trusted.
An alternative which should not be entirely dismissed is to use partitioned
views instead. With partitioned views, the foreign keys are not an issue, because each partition is a pair of tables, with its own local fkey.
As for the second question: it appears to be completely pointless to partition the parent, but not the child table. Or does the child table only have rows for a smaller set of the rows in the parent?

SQL Server 2005 64 bit and Oracle 9

Hi,
I have a situation which involves SQL Server 2005 64 bit and Oracle 9 32 bit,
I have a requirement that involves creating Stored Procedures from Oracle 9 which will call tables from SQL Server 2005 64 bit, with operations involving 'Select' 'Insert' 'Update' and 'Delete'.
it works fins, except when attempting to search for an SQL Server 'varchar' value, wher no mapping is done
though the Oracle sees the field as 'varchar2'
can anyone please advice on this
thanks
Basel

I think you're somehow not getting a resuklt because you're query doesn't return any data.
Why the fiealdA=pat=parameterA construct? Wouldn't it just work if you changed it to fieldA=parameterA?
Also, can you not just define parameterA as a varchar to make them match?
What if you do "select * from (<your query without where>) a where a.fieldA = :parameterA"
While not efficient, it would make the filtering occur in Oracle and maybe that will let you see the problem in native Oracle land and then reuse the solution in your orginal query. If that doesn't work, drop the where clause and inspect the data closly and hardcode a simple where without using PL*SQL or bind variables.
