Using a SQL Server database instance for repository

Hi,
My customer is using a non-default instance on SQL server as their database and want to place the repository here. There are no problems creating and connecting to the repository from the Designer. I simply define the server as "SERVER\INSTANCE" and I can connect OK.
The problem occurs in the Management Console, when I try to create an entry for this new repository. The Add process returns a Java error, telling me that the connection is being refused. I have checked, and re-checked, that all of the inputs are correct. I believe that this has something to do with the fact that the repository is an instance, rather than just the default database instance.
I have tried various differing ways of entering the server and database strings, with no positive result. I tried entering the following in the Server and Database entry fields:
SERVER\INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER
INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER/INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
INSTANCE@SERVER with DATABASENAME
SERVER.INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER with INSTANCE\DATABASENAME
SERVER with INSTANCE.DATABASENAME
All give an error - some return a "connection refused", some return a "server not found" error.
Any recommendation short of re-installing the database as a default instance would be appreciated.
DI and SQL Server reside on the same server running Windows 2003 Server R2 SE with SP2. Management Console runs in Apache Tomcat 5.5 on the same box.
Regards,
Derek.

Hi Derek,
The Management Console does not support the \INSTANCE syntax -- the reason is that it uses JDBC to connect to repositories. When you add a SQL Server repository to the Management Console, note that it is asking you for hostname, port, and database name. You will need to provide it the port that the instance is running on (e.g. default=1433). You can get this from the person who administers the SQL Server instance.
Thanks,
~Scott

Error Using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3

Hi,
I�m using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3. The connection is succesfully, but when I use de statement.executequery() method, there is the follow exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'PEC_COUNTRY'.
This is my code:
ResultSet resultSet;
Statement statement;
Connection connection;
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;user=sa;password=");
statement = connection.createStatement();
resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT COY_INX, COY_NAME, COY_ICO FROM PEC_COUNTRY
");When I make the last instruction, occurs the above exception
Thanks in advance
Luija

The way you are connecting, the default database used will be 'master' and i guess that the table PEC_COUNTRY was defined in another database.
If it is the case you need to specify the database name.
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;DatabaseName=yourdb;user=sa;password=");

Query used by SQL Server Management Pack for monitoring database backups

I use SCOM 2012 R2 and the SQL Server Management Pack to monitor SQL Server database backups. I believe I am getting false positives. SCOM reports database are not backuped, while in fact they are. So I need to troubleshoot this. I suspect SCOM is querying
the backup history in the msdb database. I want to know which query SCOM uses.
I have tried looking in the monitor's definition but I suspect the query is embedded in the management pack files which are binary. I have also tried running a trace using the SQL Server Profiler on my test environment and overriding the interval to 60 seconds,
but I don't see a relevant query being executed. I also don't see the alert reappear so I suspect SCOM does not honor the interval in a way I would expect.
What query, or other method, does SCOM use to check database backups?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you both Ivan and Michael,
I only saw your messages by email and didn't see your screen shot before I extracted the query myself. In my own queries I calculate the backup age in hours instead of days because of daily full backups. Perhaps It will be a good idea to create my own monitors
from scratch like I used to do with Nagios.
I will study the vbscripts and might create my own version which allows the query to be entered as an parameter and move all code to a .Net class which can be called from vbscript as an COM object. This way I hope to reduce the vbscript code to an minimum
while keeping the flexibility of the SCOM Operations Console and the robustness of .Net. I suspect I want to make more non standard monitors in the future.

How to populate a spry menu using microsoft sql server database?

Hi
I would like to use dreamweaver cs4 and spry menu to create a dynamically created menu system.
My concept is to populate the menu items on the fly using MS sql server as the database technology.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have googled and searched but cant seem to get anywhere.
Also once i get my menu established, i would like to style it. It seems like a lot of work to style each element by hand. I was wondering if there were some collection of spry menu css files somewhere that i could just attach and presto!
Thank you.

I would like to use dreamweaver cs4 and spry menu to create a dynamically created menu system. My concept is to populate the menu items on the fly using MS sql server as the database technology.
Basically
create a dynamic XML file containing data from the database
create A SpryXMLDataSet
create a SpryRegion where the menu appears
using SpryRepeat populate the menu

Create MS SQL Server 2014 instance for TSQL2012 sample database Training kit (70-461)

Hi,
I just bought the Training kit (70-461) Querying Microsoft SQL server 2012. I downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2014. I have also downloaded the script for the sample database -
TSQL2012.sql.
Basically I want to set up the sample database and practice my SQL queries. How do I log into
Microsoft SQL Server 2014? Basically I am doing this on my home computer. It is asking me for Server type, Server name, and Authentication. Do I have to set up a server instance to run and create the sample database? How?
Thanks.
Peter

Do you see anything in the Server Name at all?
So, in the first drop down you need to select Database Engine.
In the second (for Server Name) if you see anything, then try selecting it.
If there is nothing, try methods described in this article
http://sqlserver-help.com/2011/06/19/help-whats-my-sql-server-name/
to find the actual name.
Then, try choosing Windows Authentication and try connecting. If this would not work, then you do need to try using sa and sa's password. If there is no way to find that sa password, then perhaps it's better to clearly uninstall and re-install. If you want,
I'll move your thread into either 'Getting Started' or Data Access forum as it doesn't seem to be related with Transact SQL.

Creating Repositories using MS SQL Server DataBase in Data Service Reposito

HI All,
I installed BODS and I am trying to create repository using Data Service Repository Manager but I am getting the following error message :
Cannot open connection to the repository. The error message from the underlying DBMS is <ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <localhost> failed: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.>. Notify Customer Support.>. (BODI-20006)
An error occurred during creation of the local repository. (BODI-300054)
While installing BODS i used the option to create DB .... Before that even I had Microsoft SQL server installed for MDM which was working fine (Able to Log on and so on)...
Do I need to install Oracle in order to create repositories? How to proceed further please suggest.
many Thanks
Rajeev.

Hi!
What version of SQL Server are you using for the repositories? Maybe the error is because DS can not create repositories in SQL Server 2008. You can read and write data with SQL2008, but you need to create the repositories in SQL2005 or another RDBMS. I'm not sure when DS is going to be able to create them in SQL2008.
I hope this could help you. Greetings!
See you

How can I get an accurate count of computers (workstations) logged in to my SQL Server database?

We license our software by number of workstations.
I have a query that I have used for years to get an accurate count of the workstations logged in to my SQL Server database. For simplicity, all users use the same login name/password. This is built in to the script that attaches to the DB. They
have access only to that DB with the exception of
USE [Master] GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE to MyUser
The query that has been working is below:
Basically this relies on the mac address (Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_addre
SELECT COUNT(Users) AS UserCount FROM (SELECT COUNT(Master.dbo.sysprocesses.hostname) AS Users FROM Master.dbo.sysprocesses LEFT OUTER JOIN Master.dbo.sysdatabases ON Master.dbo.sysdatabases.dbid = Master.dbo.sysprocesses.dbid WHERE (Master.dbo.sysdatabases.name = 'MyDatabase') GROUP BY Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_address) AS UserCount_1
ss), since both Workstation names and ip addresses can be duplicated.
Recently this has stopped working at a number of customers. Suddenly individual workstations are showing multiple net addresses for the same workstation causing a substantial overcount of users. This may be related to SQL Server 2012 - not sure.
What I need is a very reliable way to get a count of workstations logged in to my database.
If anyone can tell me why I am suddenly getting multiple net_addresses for each workstation and how to prevent that that would be one possible solution.
Otherwise if anyone can give me a rock solid way to get a workstation count other than the above that would be great. Our largest customer is 50 users by the way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kim

I think your count is getting skewed because of duplicate rows in sysprocesses because of parallelism. Add DISTINCT to your query:
SELECT COUNT(Users) AS UserCount
FROM
( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Master.dbo.sysprocesses.hostname) AS Users
FROM Master.dbo.sysprocesses LEFT OUTER JOIN Master.dbo.sysdatabases
ON Master.dbo.sysdatabases.dbid = Master.dbo.sysprocesses.dbid
WHERE (Master.dbo.sysdatabases.name = 'MyDatabase'
GROUP BY Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_address) AS UserCount_1

How to convert Oracle database to Sql server Database

Can anyone please give me the step by step process to do this conversion.

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

hey i also have this problem i have been looking for solution for this problem for along time i tried every possible solution i tried every service pack for the SQL but it didn't connect to the port!!!
it's a network problem ur java code is correct dont worry about it.
finally i had to install MySQL and it's work fine now but if u insist on usning SQL u have to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge it will work by :
first add data source database , follow these steps
1- go to Administrative tools
2-Data Sources(ODBC)
3-System DNS tab and add then choose SQL SERVER the last option then finish
4-write the name; Note: this name is the one that u will write in ur URL for example if u write Hello the URL will be "jdbc:odbc:Hello"
5- choose the server, its recommended to write "." or (local)
6-change the database to its an important step to choose the database that u want to use, choose northwind if u want to use it
finish
second
adding this code:
import java.sql.*;
class JdbcTest1 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
try {
// Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Hello";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user1","password");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
it will work without any problems

Ramesh Hi Ramesh!
The Migration Workbench does not make any modifications to the SQL Server database. It only reads information from it. Your users should be able to use the SQL Server database as usual.
Please note however that if you migrate the data over to Oracle using the Migration Workbench and your users continue to enter/update data in the exiting SQL Server database then you may need to move all that data over again in order to have the most up to date data in the Oracle database.

How to import sql server database into oracle

Hi,
i have a backup of database(complete) from sql server, Is there any way to import that backup database into oracle environment.
Please let me know the process
Thanks
Naren$

No. You cannot simply import binary data files from a 3rd party database directly into Oracle.
You can use bcp on SQL-Server to unload the data to CSV and then use Oracle's SQL*Loader to load it.
You can run a SQL-Server database instance and an Oracle database instance, and use a heterogeneous database link from Oracle (working via ODBC) to connect to SQL-Server - and use SQL statements to pull object definitions and data from SQL-Server into Oracle.

How to use an existing remote database instance?

Hi,
is it possible to use an existing remote database instance for installation of Solution Manager?
Our dba has setup an empty database instance on a hpux oracle cluster for me and I don´t know how to tell the SAPinst during the installation of the distributed system that it should use this existing database.
Or is it mandatory to run the installation on the host where the database should resides and then create a new instance?
Thanks in advance for any hints!

We currently don't support DataControls based on the ADF BC technology. We will consider such support if there is a strong interest in that use case.
Independent of the IDE's you use, there are ways to expose services based on ADF BC that can then be consumed by the view layer. A Google search will point you to some of the approaches.
HTH. Thanks for your interest in OEPE.

Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

Hi,
I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
I have two questions:
1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
issue, but there is no answer :(.
Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.
M
Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see
