Consider the following table

create table foo 
(
    id integer not null primary key, 
    some_data varchar(100)
);

Now the following Java Code:

PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement("select * \nfrom foo \nwhere id = ?");
ParameterMetaData meta = pstmt.getParameterMetaData();

will throw an Exception:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Unable to identify the table select *
from foo
where id = ? for the metadata.
 at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDriverError(SQLServerException.java:190)
 at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerParameterMetaData.<init>(SQLServerParameterMetaData.java:426)
 at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerPreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData(SQLServerPreparedStatement.java:1532)

When the embedded newlines are removed from the SQL, the call works.

The driver version is: 4.0.2206.100

Hello Forum,

I'm a developer that's new to the world of SQL Server, having come from using Oracle as the RDBMS for the past decade.
My question is regarding finding execution plans for inline table-valued functions called from stored procedures.

The scenario is the following ... SP1 (stored procedure 1) returns two result sets, both of which query ITVF1 (inline table-valued function 1).  SP1 is called from a Python module, using PyODBC.  When running the SQL Server Profiler, I can see that PyODBC is using prepared statements for calling SP1.  What I would like to do is to use the SQL Server Profiler to capture the execution plan that ITVF1 uses when it is called by SP1.  So far, I have not found a way to do that.  Is it possible?

I looked through the plan cache and also did not find any trace of the execution plan I'm looking for.  Here's the query I used for looking through the plan cache:

SELECT UseCounts, Cacheobjtype, Objtype, TEXT, query_plan
FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans 
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(plan_handle)
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(plan_handle)
WHERE TEXT like '%SecMasterSearch%'

Is SQL Server capturing the execution plan for ITVF1 somwhere in this scenario?  Or is it lost since ITVF1 is two levels deep in the call chain (i.e. called indirectly from a prepared statement by way of SP1)

Let me know if I have not provided sufficient background information.

Thanks, in advance, for any tips.

ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) crashes with the following operation:

1. Open 'ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit).
2. Choose 'User DSN' tab
3. Click 'Add' on right of windows. 'Create New Data Source' window opens
4. Select driver 'PostgreSQL ANSI(x64)'
5. Click 'Finish'
6. Then get message 'ODBC Administrator has stopped working', with only option 'Close program'. A generic, unhelpful message is give: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Using the 32 bit ODBC Data Source Administrator and 32 bit driver there is no problem. I also had no problem with this under Windows 7 using the 64 bit drivers. What might cause this? Is there a way to debug and determine whether the driver is at fault or whether it's ODBC Data Source Administrator.

Further information:

This Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit installation was an upgrade from Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

The PostgreSQL ANSI(x64) driver can be installed from: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/

I am using version 'psqlodbc_09_01_0200-x64'

Please request any further information that might be useful.

Regards,
Tom.

My code:

    SUM(t1.TOTAL) AS CountOfLineNo, t2.TotalOfLineNo, 
    convert(decimal(18,3),(convert(decimal(8,1),SUM(t1.TOTAL)) * 100 / t2.TotalOfLineNo )/100)AS Percentage

 The above is my code. I need to get the highest value in each group to do some calculation. 

Sample data is

As you can see two different group of rows, I need to get the highest value for each row should be display at the top of each row group as shown below:

it should display in this order so that it will easy for me to do the calculation. Thanks in advance.

One process fails with this ODBC error message:
Can't open lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2260.0' : file not found
Even though the file is clearly there.

Another process (a smaller executable, from the command line) succeeds.

The straces of a succeeding and failing process are on

Why does the connect fail in one case but succeed in another?

Hello All,

Since the last week, i found a problem that nearly all the projets (asp.net and workflow for dynamics CRM 4) doesnt work, they have the same message "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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ", and also error 40 displayed in certain web application.

I have checked the related article on the net and i dont think it is the problome about the connection string and configuration of sql server, because the sql server can be connected via sql management studio.
what's more, i have debug one of them (projet asp.net) in  visual studio and it works but when i complied this projet and deployed this on the IIS(the web.config is OK), it still has the error massage as show before.
And then i think maybe it is the problome of IIS, but the strand things is that there is another projet asp.net who user the same website and application pool as the other projets asp.net, sometimes it works and sometimes not.
I also verfied the registe (oledbtimeout and extension timeout) of the CRM server and the trace logs of CRM, but i cant find the solution.

Thanks so much if anyone can give me some ideas.

I had an access violation error which caused the sql server services to shut down. I used windbg to debug the sql dump and got the below stack trace.

to me it seems that msxml is a problem and prepared xml procedures are being used to process xml file causing issues.

can some check and verify whether I am correct or not?

This is on sql server 2008 r2 standard RTM edition.

I installed Oracle 11GR2 client on a MSSQL 2008 server that needed to read tables on an Oracle 11G database. Set up the linked server using OraOLEDB.Oracle, put in user credentials and all is good, now the user in MSSQL can see the tables.

A developer wants to access the MSSQL database from his workstation, and when connecting to the above database through 2008 Management Studio he could not see the external tables.  Being more familiar with Oracle than MSSQL I didn't think he'd need the Oracle client on his workstation, but it appears he does, so we installed the Oracle client on the workstation but are still not able to see the external tables. I made sure the Oracle install was in his path and was able to tnsping the Oracle database we're connecting to so I know that is ok. 

 We are getting a Msg 7302: Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "<oracledb>"

Just to test further, we tried creating the linked server from his local MSSQL database and it let us create the link, but gets a different error when trying to see linked tables. He's away for now and I can't recall that error, but the main one I am concerned about is when trying to connect through the database server. 

Any ideas? 

I am curious too, why does MSSQL need the Oracle client on a workstation connecting to an external MSSQL database through Management Studio?  

ps. I also have 2008 management studio on my workstation, as well as several Oracle installs, I am able to see connected tables on MSSQL database with no issues. 

Hi,

I was able to set this up successfully on my local and on production, as long as  the user credentials used on running the script is a sysad.

It's been up and running for months already. And just all of a sudden, sometime around last week, I received a complaint from one of our users who utilizes the uploader that they can no longer upload any excel files.

OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server"(null)".

No one is altering the script. 

No one has updated the server nor my local. 

All of the servers for different apps that uses the script encoutered the error.

I can't even run it on my own local pc.(When I use JET as a driver on my local it still works, but can't run it using ACE driver) 

I'm really confused already on what happened on the ace driver? 

I'm starting to wonder if there have been any update backend from microsoft or some kind of a bug on the ace driver??

Hope someone could help me if you have similar issue.

Thanks,

I am getting this below errors occasionally .  Could any one suggest on this how to resolve this kind of issues and what might be the root causes for this error

I'm a Jr. DBA at a software company that offers hosting solutions to our customers.  Yesterday we had an incident where a database used by one of our products became inaccesible.  In SSMS we could see the database listed but were unable to expand the contens of the database in Object Viewer.  I was not here at the time but I was informed later the solution was to bring it offline and then back online.

I'm doing a post-mortem report on the incident and have been unable to find anything useful in determining why this happened.  I see nothing in SQL or Windows logs other than this error reported in the server's application log:

"The following information is part of the event: <domain omitted>\<username omitted>,  Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database"

Reviewing the Data portion of the event noted that the database that was attempted to be accessed was the master database.  What's interesting is this is NOT the database that was having the issue.  Additionally, I checked and the default database of this account is the master database, but I did verify this account does have access to the master database and I also noted this member of the sysadmin server group.

Finally, I reviewed the default SQL trace to see if I could find anything additional reported there but was unable to find anything of use outside of the failed attempts to access the master database already noted in the application log.

Is there anything else I can do or anywhere else I can look to better understand what happened and why bringing the database offline/online fixed the issue?  I appreciate any and all assistance!

I have several old VB6 applications that connect to the database using SQL Logins. The database is being upgraded and moved to a new location which requires Windows Authentication and does not allow mixed-mode or SQL Login authentication. I have read about"impersonation" for my web apps in IIS. Is there any way to specify a domain user account for the ADO connection to the database instead of the "logged in" user? Everything I can find online so far indicates that when you set Integrated Security=SSPI in the connection string the User ID and password keywords become meaningless. This behavior seems appropriate to me for Windows Authentication, but I keep getting told by the architect of the relocated database server that my application CAN control what user is authenticated to the database via the connection string (unfortunately no examples are provided.)

Thanks for any input!
