Visio Database Wizard fails - ODBC connection to MS SQL

When I try to create an ODBC connection in Visio's 2010's Database wizard I get the error: "Cannot set the database context information. Additional error information:ODBC Error: s1009. Database cxweba does not exist."
Note that the database name is cxwebapp_bkk. I get the same error if I connect to any database on that server, and it always truncates the name in the error message (if that is a hint to the error).
Using Visio 2013, after connecting to the database: when I select the database object I get the error message: "The selected table has only one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field
and one additional data field."
I have this problem using both SQL Server driver (6.02.9200.116384 and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (2011.1102.2100.60).
I do not have this problem connecting to a MYSQL database with either version of Visio, nor do I have this problem when I link link to the same SQL database in a drawing and link shapes in that drawing using the "Link Data to Shapes" under the
Data tab.

Hello,
What's the version of the SQL Server instance you connect to? It seems that the Database Wizard in Visio 2010 not work well with the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver. Did you try to use the Generic OLEDB Provider for SQL Server?
Since the issue is more related to office Visio, please post the question in the following forum. More experts there will assist you:

Visio Database Wizard Error

I try to connect visio 2013 to a sql database. Purpose is to have shape data in sql database (not in excel or access).
I use the database wizard from the Add-Ons section in Visio and whatever existing table I select or whatever table I create from within this wizard (Define Table option) I get the following Visio Database Wizard Error:
'The selected table has one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field and one additional data field.'
Note that I tested succesfully to export the complete existing drawing to a database table using one of the other options and that I get exactly the same error when pointing to this exact table in sql server when starting the database wizard.
To be complete: I use Visio 2013 pro and SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
To the error message, the reason this error occurs is that the length of the Filepath to the sql database is too long. Visio has a hard limitation of 128 characters for a complete path.
There are a couple of ways to avoid this issue.
1. On a local drive, move the files to a location ‘higher’ in the folder list, to shorten the full pathname.
2. For a remote share, change the level of the drive letter mapping to a higher level to shorten the full pathname.

Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 537, state 3, severity 16

Hello,
I've encountered issue during installation of SP1 to SQL Server 2012. After upgrade I'm getting this error in Event Log:
Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 537, state 3, severity 16. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline.
If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script
upgrade steps run to completion.
Can someone point me direction how I can fix it? This is a production server and currently only way to make it working is to use T902 flag in SQL Server startup params. I've found some suggestions to check Data path if it exists but it does so this is not
the issue here. Any ideas?
I've found also here
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1377073-1550-1.aspx#bm1378279
suggestions for similar issue with SQL Server 2008 which that I should do:
Via ssms:
From msdb:
Delete:
dc_admin role
Dc_operator role
Dc_proxy role
UlitityCMRReader role
UtilityIMRReader role
UtilityIMRWriter role
but for not I didn't tried it yet. This is standalone SQL Server instance.
Any help really appreciated.
Regards

are all in place where path shows.
Before sending my message I've searched update script for "FROM master.sys.master_files" and I found script which you are showing me. I've made some digging and when I runned:
       SELECT physical_name
       FROM master.sys.master_files
       WHERE (name = N'master')
it returned also path to one my customers database name which has filename set correctly but it's Logical DB name is master and mastlog. I'm running shared hosting company and I allow my customers to restore their DBs from .bak files but I have no idea why
this customers logical name is set to master and mastlog. Probably when I change this names update script will work as it should. On the other hand in my opinion there should be some kind of fail safe mechanism for situations like this one.
EDIT: After changing logical name for DB and log for mentioned DB your script runned fine so probably now when I remove T902 flag and restart my SQL Server update will run correctly. Big thanks for resolving this issue.

ODBC Connection problem with SQL Native Client driver with CR 11

I am having an issue connecting my crystal reports to an ODBC connection that uses the SQL Native Client driver (Version 2005.90.2047.00). My reports work fine when using the SQL Server driver (Version 2000.85.3006.00). The ODBC connection is setup to use Integrated Windows Authentication and is defaulted to go to the correct database. When I test the ODBC connection in the 'ODBC Data Source Adminstrator' it connects fine.
The reports are trying to connect to stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 database. I can log onto the ODBC connection in CR X1. When I try to set the Datasource connection for one of my reports to the ODBC connection I created, I get the following error:
'Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.'
When I drill down to the SP and try to update the datasource location of the SP directly I get the following errors:
'Data Object cannot be opened/accessed'
and
'Unknown Database Connector Error'
As I said, I don't have any problems when using the SQL Server 2000 driver. One other thing to mention, when I initially connect to the ODBC connection in CR X1 with the SQL Native Client driver, it asks for a username and password. I leave these blank since I'm using Windows Authentication.
Any advice would be appreciated.
System:
Windows XP
Service Pack 3
Crystal Reports XI:
Product Version 11.0.0.1282

Hi Jeff,
I just tried to create a new report using the native driver and there is no option to use Trusted Authentication. This would be why it's failing.
I don't believe we fully supported Native driver in Cr XI. Try downloading CR Xi R2 and install SP6 from this info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I tested it in R2 and the Trusted Authentication option is there so your reports should work.
Thank you
Don

SQL 2000 ODBC CONNECTION STRING FOR SQL 2008

i have vb 6 application. Database is SQL server 2000.
my connection string is (using odbc driver),
        .ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};SERVER=" & mServer & ";DATABASE=mydb;UID=" & mLogin.Username & ";pwd=" & mLogin.Password & ";"
Now i have tried this application with SQL server express 2008 R2
Can i still keep the old connection string? will there be any problem in future?
(if i have to change then have to change at so many places.....)
I can run application without any problem for now (not changed connection string to new one)
otherwise i have to use ODBC or OLEDB which are,
        .ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};SERVER=" & mServer & ";DATABASE=mydb;UID=" & mLogin.Username & ";pwd=" & mLogin.Password & ";"
or
        .ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI10;SERVER=" & mServer & ";DATABASE=mydb;UID=" & mLogin.Username & ";pwd=" & mLogin.Password & ";"
if i have to change to new connection string Which one is better to use odbc or oledb.

personally I favor ODBC as it is easy to use sometime. Additionally you can check the link below:

Windows 2008 64-bit SQL Server 2008 64-bit Linked Server fails - ODBC connects but has issues

Installed the 64 but Oracle 11g client and Oracle ODAC.
From SQL Server Management Studio run script : exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'PING OracleHostNameHere' Ping was successful
OraOLEDB.Oracle shows up in the Provider list. Run This Script:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'Nav14', @srvproduct=N'Oracle', @provider=N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc=N'TheOracleHostName'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'TheOracleHostName',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'TheUser',@rmtpassword='ThePassWord'
Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 49 The server 'TheHostName' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
Did the same process on a Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise - ODBC Works after installing ODAC
ODBC worked, shows list of Oracle servers - picked the server - ODBC successful - MS Access able to use that ODBC service.
In Windows 2008 64 bit installed both Oracle 11g Client and 64 bit ODAC - ODBC opens, the list of oracle servers doesn't populate, hard code in the host name - ODBC reports Success.
Another Person Suggested: Win7 64-bit with Oracle 11g. Oddly enough, it ran differently when I opened a command prompt window as administrator and ran setup.exe with the suggested command-line options:
setup.exe -debug -printtime -printmemory -printdiskusage -logLevel finest
While it had previously been failed both by running setup from the Explorer windows as administrator and by running it from the command line as administrator - it died every time at the same point mentioned by others in this thread - just after this message appeared in the log:
Get view named [SummaryUI]
( I have tried re installing with no success)

Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit
Installed the version 12 for 32 bit ODAC and it worked. The key is to Install as Administrator once it is unzipped.
Was able to set up Listener then
Was able to set up ODBC using the ODAC. Connect MS Access 2010 to the Oracle views.
Then, tried to install the 64 Bit onto Windows 2008 Server.
It locked up during installation both times.
Installed ODAC without an error.
However, the ODBC setup will not provide a list of the servers in the ODBC TNS Service Name listbox for Server 2008.
In Windows 7, it populates the TNS Service Name.
The list box in Windows 2008 is empty.
Do you know what would cause that?
The .ORA file scrips look the same on Windows 2008 as they do on Windows 7 except it does not have the (server = Dedicated) argument.
Thanks.

You need to create linked server in sql server 2000 Instance to connect to Oracle Database.
Have a look at the following note
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280106
It did worked for me before, when i connected sql server 2005 to connect to oracle 9.2.0.1
The document should be helpful for you.......

JDBC-ODBC connection to MS SQL Server

Hi All,
I am new to Java. I want to connect from my JSP page to a remote MS SQL Server. So please tell me where i can find the suitable driver(MS SQL and not SQL Server 2000.

HS ODBC connection to unidata SQL translation

Experts please help.
I successfully created a db link to unidata using HS ODBC. When I execute SQL for example "SELECT NAME FROM CUSTOMER@unidata", Oracle translates the SQL as "SELECT NAME AS C000 FROM CUSTOMER@unidata".
The issue is, unidata ODBC does not recoginize "as" keyword. So I am getting a syntax error. Is there a way or a parameter I can set to disable the "as" keyword during the SQL translation ?

I have not worked on HS ODBC but you can try providing the alias yourself (if possible).
SELECT NAME NAME FROM CUSTOMER@unidata;
Does this work?

Can a SQL view see data from an ODBC connection?

Hi.　 I currently have an application that pulls data from a custom SQL view in my SQL database.　 This custom application can not be changed, so it expects to see the data exactly as presented by my custom SQL view.　 This works fine
when the data resides in SQL, but I am not sure if it is possible when the data resides outside of SQL.　 I’d like to connect to another type of database via an ODBC connection from my SQL database, and still utilize my custom SQL view.　 I would prefer to NOT
use the SQL database as a warehouse, and simply use it to pass data.
Is this possible?　　Thank you for reading.

Hi Robet,
According to your description, you want to create view in SQL Server to pass data from OBDC database to custom application, right?
In this case, we can create linked server to access an ODBC database when you are using an ODBC data source. Linked servers can use the OLE DB Provider for ODBC without using an ODBC data source. You can refer to the link below to see the details.

Database wizard table headers are blank

This is an ongoing issue with crystal reports 2008. I have a progress Database with an ODBC connection. If I setup a connection to the database using the database wizard in CR 2008 I can see all of the tables, but if I add one of the tables to my report the table name does not display and I am unable to remove that table from the list. If I follow the same steps using crystal reports 11, this works without any issue. Does anyone know if this is a bug in crystal reports 2008?

Hi Russell
Which database you are reporting off?
You can try following workaround and create indirect ODBC connection.
Create a report using OLEDB connection and select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers and then create a report .
This will point to your existing ODBC connection through OLEDB provider.
For the tables name that are blank do you have hyphen '-' in their names?
As advised by Jayendra you can try with Service Pack 1for Crysatl Reports 2008.
Hope this helps..

Apex fails to connect after rebooting XE

Hi:
My environment is Apex 4.0.0, Oracle XE 10.2.0, Apex default Gateway, Windows 2008 32 bit.
After I reboot the database, Apex fails to connect.
If I check the Apex port number, it lists 8080, as expected. (SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL;)
Look at the Oracle Listener status below after the reboot, notice the host value in line
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=8080))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
When I reset the Apex port number to 8080, I can then connect OK (EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8080); )
Look at value of HOST in the Oracle Listener status below after the reset, the HOST lists the Server Name.
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=galapp13.bsci.bossci.com)(PORT=8080))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
This is a major problem, because if the Server is rebooted, nobody can connect to Apex.
I assume this is an Oracle Listener problem.
I have made no changes to the LISTENER.ora file, see values below.
Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem will be helpful.

Hi
Where did you find the latest WLan driver?
Here on this Toshiba driver page you can find the latest Wlan driver:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
I recommend uninstalling firstly the old driver and then to install the newer version.
Furthermore its necessary to update the BIOS. I read in the forum that similar issues could be solved by BIOS update.

ODBC connection to Oracle 7 will not reset

We are using Oracle JDBC drivers for all but one of our
datasources which is an old Oracle 7 database. The ODBC connection
to this database will not reset when the database is bounced or the
database server is rebooted. We have to restart the ODBC service to
reset the connection. Is there another way to do this automatically
or perhaps another driver out there we can use? We are running
ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise.

Wow, I can't believe that you are still using Oracle 7. In
fact, unless you are on 7.3.4 you aren’t even Y2K compliant.
Of course, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade path from 7.x
to 10g, but I would consider migrating off of 7 to anything else.
Otherwise, you are going to have more and more compatibility
problems. In fact, you can no longer even get ODBC drivers from
Oracle for versions older than 9i.
Good luck.
