Timestamp in SQL 2008

Hi All,
I am using Timestamp column in sql server 2008.
In sql 2008 the query is working fine but from query template i am getting following error:
com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: Error occurred while processing records; The conversion from binary to INTEGER is unsupported.
Is this a bug of mii?
or i am miss something.
I am using Version 12.1.8 Build(20).
Regards
Anshul

Hi Anshul,
Just to check, but what service pack is your NWCE installation?
And can you please post the exact SQL Script in the Query? Please make it a Fixed Query instead of Query mode if you are not already. Or are you trying to an update or insert query?
NOTE: Going to Fixed Query can be a useful troubleshooting tool, but does require better database skills for complex queries.
Regards,
Mike

Problems install SCCM 2012 with remote sql 2008 r2 sp2

I am having issues installing sccm 2012 on a remote sql 2008 r2 sp2 server on a seperate instance.
I get the error "The network path was not found"
if i point it at the primary instance it will let me continue but i cannot install sccm into that instance.
I have turned off dynamic ports and set a static port but I do not see where i can enter that in the installer.
I cannot seem to verify is the ssb port is working correctly or not.
my account is local admin on both servers and a sql sysadm.
There is no firewall between servers.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Don

SPN is setup to AUTO register and is working. remote sql is not a cluster. Windows firewall on both servers is disabled. Sql browser is enabled and started. we have a group for system center that contains site servers and this group
is in the local admin of both servers and sysadm inside of sql server.
Why we are consolidating all or our lesser sql servers into a larger one.

How to overwrite existing DB's in SQL 2008?

I use Maintenance Plan of SQL 2008 Server for Backup some DB's. As a result i need to keep, only one set of Backup Up's and not more. So actually i can use Maintenance Plan Clean Up wizard, but i need something like Overwrite. That mean
i don't want do delete DB's after i finish Backup UP, but i want to overwrite existing backups?
Thanks.

Maintenance Plans are great as a base starting point for, "maintenance". They provide quick, easy setup and just get something in when in some cases, a fulltime DBA is not around.
Uri's recommendation on avoiding Maintenance Plans probably should have come with an explanation with such a strong statement. I'm guessing with the following, there will be an agreement...
Maintenance Plans, like I said, offer quick development of maintenance tasks. However, you can find yourself being restricted if you only use them for all of your maintenance tasks. This proves to make it difficult when you start getting further
into truly managing your database servers as they grow. Now, WITH INIT is an option form memory in the BACKUP Task but given the task, the conversion to calling the BACKUP DATABASE [db] TO DISK=N'filepath' WITH INT is a pretty quick change (at this point).
It will allow you to better understand the tasks you are refining as well. But, you do have the ability to leave it there.
I'm also not fully agreeing that WITH INIT is your best option if you want to retain backup history. If you do not, then by all means, INIT it all day. You may want to consider bringing this into SSIS or even a more structure TSQL statement to
dynamically create backup files by timestamps so you can at least retain some historic recovery abilities. Possible this is something of a secondary backup so that is based on my assumptions

Cannot see new SQL 2008 R2 Express instance on Small Business Server 2011!

Hi,
As it is stated on the subject line, I'm having a problem after I did a new install of SQL 2008 R2 Express and put a new instance on SBS 2011.
I'm developing a new program using SQL 2008 in C# and VB.Net. I have SQL 2008 R2 Express installed on my computer called "MSQL8R2EDATA" on my PC. Now I need to deploy it on SBS 2011 so I can do some testing on other workstations.
I'm currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, and it's named STEVE-PC. The SBS 2011 is named SERVER1, and it's 64 bit as well.
After installation on SERVER1 (SBS 2011), I then fired up SQL Server Configuration Manager and enabled Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA.
After I've completed the SQL Configuration on SERVER1, I went back on my PC (STEVE-PC) and I tried to use Management Studio to connect to the new instance MSQL8R2EDATA on SBS 2011, only problem is, I only see the computer name, not the new instance
I've installed.
Back on SBS 2011 (SERVER1), I've verified that all the protocols are enabled, and the SQL Server Browser is automatically loaded and currently running, as well the MSQL8R2EDATA instance is automatically loaded and running, yet I still cannot see
it from my PC (STEVE-PC). I even switched from dynamic ports to a static port of 64719 (that was what the MSQL8R2EDATA was listening on that port when it was dynamic), and then added new rules to the Windows Firewall for program of the SQLSERVR.EXE, and
for UDP and TCP for port 64719 to "Allow All Connections" for Domain, Private, and Public; yet I still cannot connect SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA. I even disabled the firewall and then trying to connect once again to SBS 2001 and it still fails.
In case you're wondering, I left it on port 64719 since there are other active SQL Servers on SBS 2011 (SharePoint, SBSMonitoring, and ACT7).
Interestingly, when I run Management Studio on SBS 2011, I can see STEVE-PC\MSQL8R2EDATA and I'm able to log in and connect to it.
So what's going on here?!? Why am I able to connect to STEVE-PC which is Windows 7 64 from SBS 2011 (SERVER1), but I cannot connect from my computer to that instance on SBS 2011??
I really could use some big time help on this.
EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, but on the Windows Firewall (WF.msc), I did add new rules for incoming connections on:
Program incoming connections to SQLSERVR.EXE
TCP Port 64719
UDP Port 64719
EDIT: To further assist, I have Management Studio installed on the SBS 2011, and I can locally log in and connect to the MSQL8R2DATA on SERVER1 with success. I even tried tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2DATA and again it is successful log-in and connection.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for the response, but I have a question:
Installing SQL Express or SQL Server is not recommended on SBS
2011 because it is a DC, however technically it will work.
I'm a newbie when it comes to SBS 2011 and I'm taking a crash course on the subject. Can you explain to me what you mean by "DC"? Also, why
isn't recommended to install a new instance on SBS 2011?
As I also stated, I've added "New Rules" to the Windows Firewall to allow incoming connections on port 64719 for both TCP and UDP, and I also allowed incoming connections for SQLSERVR.EXE but no joy to connect to the SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA.
And yes, I can log-in and connect locally on SERVER1 using Management Studio with success. I even used tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA with the same success. It's my workstation STEVE-PC that fails. If that fails, then the rest of the workstations are going to fail.
Are you suggesting that I put the SQL Server 2008 Express on another workstation and just allow to to be
accessed that way?

How to transfer the tables from one file group to another file group in SQL 2008.?

Hello all,
I have few issues regarding the transfer of the tables from one file group to another file group  in SQL 2008 and also How can we  backup
and restore the particular database based on file group level.
Let’s say I have a tables stored within the different FG. such as
Tables
  File group
Dimension tables
Primary
Fact tables
  FG1
FG2…
zzz_tables
  DEFAULT_FG
dim.table1                                                                                                                          DEFAULT_FG
dim.table2                                                                                                                          DEFAULT_FG
Here all I want to transfer the dim.table1 ,dim.table2  from  DEFAULT_FG to the Primary File
group .So is there simple methods for transfer the dim.table1,2  from one FG to another .I have tried somewhat but I couldn’t get the exact way .So if someone have better idea please share your knowledge that would be really appreciated.
Secondly after moving those dim.table1 ,dim.table2 from DEFAULT_FG to Primary ,All I want to backup and restore the database only containing  the Primary and FG1,FG2… not
a DEFAULT_FG.Is it possible or not.?
Hope to hear from the one who knows better approach for this kind of task .Your simple help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Anil Maharjan

Well after all my full day research on this topic had paid off, I finally got the solution and am so happy to research on these things. It makes
us feel really happy after all our research and hard work doesn't goes as waste.
Finally I got what I am looking for and want to make sure that I am able to transfer the tables from DEFAULT_FG to another FG without tables
having clustered index on that tables .
With the help of the link below I finally got my solution where Roberto’s coded store procedure simply works for this.
Really thanks to him for his great post and thanks to all for your response and your valuable time.

Data Services 4.0 installation with MS SQL 2008

hey guys,
I am trying to install data services 4.0 on a windows server with MS SQL database as the repository database. So, my plan was to install MS SQL 2008 first, then IPS, then data services. But i am facing a problem in installation of MS SQL itself. I installed MS SQL with following features - database engine, client tools and management tools. The installation process was smooth and the sql server services (server and agent) both startup just fine. I installed a custom instance for the same.
But problem is when I open the management studio and try to connect to the database engine, it does not connect, I choose database engine as the server type, local hostname as the server name and windows authentication as the authentican type but it fails with the following error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to <myservername>.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=MicrosoftSQLServer&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476
BUTTONS:
OK
Any clues as to what is causing this ??? Or is it normal at this stage of installation ?? I am confused. I have already tried to reinstall the server, no good, nothing in the event logs either.
Thanks,
RS

resolved via following:
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter, 127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties to identify the IP address that you want to configure.
If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.u201D
Once I deleted those zeros and put in 1433 for TCP ports on each IP address, voila!

Calling a stored procedure on SQL 2008 server

This might be easy one, but I tried different things just cannot get it to work.
I am trying to call a stored procedure in SQL 2008 R2 server using Type 4 driver (sqljdbc4.jar) with JR.
The stored procedure basically has one input and two outputs
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Example_Master]
@XMLResponse as varchar(max),
@ERROR_NUMBER as int OUTPUT,
@ERROR_MESSAGE as varchar(300) OUTPUT
as
My program.
Connection connection =null
CallableStatement cs =null;
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
cs = connection.prepareCall("{call dbo.usp_Example_Master(?,?,?)}");
cs.setString(1,requestStr);
cs.registerOutParameter(2, Types.INTEGER);
cs.registerOutParameter(3, Types.VARCHAR);
cs.execute();
============
Error: The output parameter 1 was not registered for output.
But if I added cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.VARCHAR);
Error: The formal parameter "@XMLResponse" was not declared as an OUTPUT parameter, but the actual parameter passed in requested output
==========
Appreciate any help !

Ok. I have an alternative to get it to work now.
Instead of using index number, I am using the parameter name now. It works as expected and more intuitive any way.
Ex.
cs.setString("XMLResponse",req);
cs.registerOutParameter("ERROR_NUMER",Type.INTEGER);

When I run vssadmin list writers after the error, the "SqlServerWriter" show a State of [11]. I can restart the service and the error clears up showing stable, but the next time I run the backup it fails again.
From the error, it almost sounds like the path is too long. This doesn't totally make sense to me considering the database was successfully backed up before I tried to back it up as a SharePoint database.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Got the issue solved.
DPM has issues with DNS Aliases for SQL.
To get this issue sorted out i used the old HOSTS file to point the right name to the right SQL server.

Error restoring SQL 2008 R2 DB into SQL 2012: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012. Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2. Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008 Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
Thanks

Hi,
This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
· The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
· A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
· A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
· The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
Example:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

Windows 2003 server and SQL 2008

Hi
Does SAP Business one support windows 2008 and sql 2008 platforms?
When i checked the partner portal it says that these platforms are not supported.Is there any update?
Regards
Louis

Hello Louis,
The only way to determine this is via the supported platforms page in the portal. This is the most up to date, and will include information for the future when this data is available. So for not I would only plan with what information is available.

Hi,
I am trying to do merge replication through web sync in SQL server 2008 express edition. i tried the merge replication using RMO with C# code but no luck. i am getting the security related error.
my Publisher and distribution are on SQL server 2008 R2 Standard edition. machine name "Printserver",
I created subscription on SQL server 2008 express edition.
I hosted the web service for merge syncronization on another machine named "ANUJVMWIN7".
I installed SSL cerificate on all the machine (server, hosted server and subscriber machine.)
here is the error description.
The upload message to be sent to Publisher ‘PRINTSERVER’ is being generated
The merge process is using Exchange ID ’0B23EBE2-D502-4D92-A9A1-88B8F738CFFC’ for this web synchronization session.
A security error occurred
A security error occurred
The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL ‘https://ANUJVMWIN7.prospecta.in/WebSyncTest/replisapi.dll’ during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable.
The same process i tested with the SQL server 2008 standard edition and all the things are working fine. i could able to merge the databases but no luck with SQL 2008 express edition.
Please help.

Hi Brandon,
I am not using self signed certificate. I installed SSL certificate provided by RapidSSL CA. This certificate is installed on my publisher machine ("Printserver"),
web hosting machine ("ANUJVMWIN7") and my subscriber machine as well.
Here are the certificate details which i installed on each machine.

SQL 2008 Problem Calling an SP on an Oracle 10G Linked Server

Hi everyone
I've read through a number of posts on many sites about this issue but haven't found anything that has helped me so far. The machine I'm using is running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 64bit and the linked server I've created to Oracle 10G is using OraOLEDB.Oracle. If I test the connection in SQL Management Studio it succeeds and for any queries I have using OpenQuery to select from the Oracle DB I have no problem getting results.
The Oracle 32bit client and 64bit client versions are installed on the machine.
My problem is that I need to exec an Oracle SP which in turn inserts into various Oracle tables. I previously had this all working fine on 32bit SQL Server 2000 installation connected to Oracle 10G. Using the same code in SQL Server 2008 I get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot process the object "{CALL INTF.INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE.MAIN(NULL, 15.000000, 0.000000, 'BLPO0099998', 'BLPO0099998', '', '', 39804, 21883, 'BLPO0099998', 249, 1, 950, 'Main', 190506, 37336, '1', TO_DATE( '20090706','YYYYMMDD' ), TO_DATE( '20090706','YYYYMMDD' ), 'INCOMPLETE',37336, {RESULTSET 1, P_Success})}". The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLE" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object
The call is made by the following piece of code in SQL:
SET @execCmd = N'SELECT
P_Success
FROM
OPENQUERY( ORACLE, '''+ @oracleCmd + ''')';
EXECUTE (@execCmd);
Where @oracleCmd = {CALL INTF.INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE.MAIN(NULL, 15.000000, 0.000000, ''BLPO0099998'', ''BLPO0099998'', '''', '''', 39804, 21883, ''BLPO0099998'', 249, 1, 950, ''Main'', 190506, 37336, ''1'', TO_DATE( ''20090706'',''YYYYMMDD'' ), TO_DATE( ''20090706'',''YYYYMMDD'' ), ''INCOMPLETE'',37336, {RESULTSET 1, P_Success})}
I also tried using the below snippet from another post I found and got no joy either.
declare @result varchar(255)
exec ('BEGIN
?:= your_SP_Name(''arg1'', ''arg2'', etc);
END;
',@result OUTPUT) at your_LinkedServerName;
select @result;
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLE" returned message "ORA-06550: line 3, column 7:
PLS-00222: no function with name 'INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE' exists in this scope
ORA-06550: line 3, column 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored".
I can't figure out why it doesn't work in SQL 2008 when it worked fine in SQL 2000 - PLEASE HELP!
Thank you
Alida Hope

Why development on 10g and production on 8i? Either both should be 8i or both should be 10g.
If you will keep production on 8i and development on 10g then you cannot stop such errors as there are features that are enabled by default in 10g and both the versions have very big differences.
Just go ahead and install 8i.

Dg4odbc, unixODBC, freeTDS - connection problems to MS SQL 2008

I am trying to set up a database link between my 64bit Oracle 11g running on CentOS 6.2 and my MS SQL 2008 server running on MS Windows server 2003. I have installed the following -
freeTDS - version 0.91 (64 bit)
unixODBC - version 2.3.1 (64 bit)
I have successfully configured ODBC and freeTDS so that I can connect using isql and query my MSSQL database. The problem I am having is connecting Oracle to MSSQL, I am sure it is a simple configuration error but I have been going round in circles with this and hope someone can help!

right - I can tnsping my hscerm instance and that returns ok so I'm fairly sure the configuration is fine for both tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. I can isql connect to the ODBC defined name for the the MSSQL database. but when I create a database link in Oracle and then test it I get the following trace output :-

Now I can clearly see the error "Data source name not found, and no default driver specified" which according to all the documentation means that the entry HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=CERM does not match the entry in my odbc.ini file ([CERM]) but for the life of me I can;t see why they don;t match ??
Any help greatly received.

Visual Studio prevents SQL 2008 Express installation on win 8.1

I wanted to install SQL Express 2008 on my Win 8.1 desktop. It gives an error indicating that I should install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 first. I tried, but SP1 installation fails. I also tried to remove VS2008 completely but I still get the same fail when
installing SQL 2008 Express.
Now I cannot even install SQL Manager 2008, to manage database on SQL server.

Hello,
You should install SQL Server 2008 Express with SP3 included to make it compatible with Windows 8.1. Please try the following download:
