So I just downloaded this free version of SQL Server and taking time getting used to it. I am now familiar with database and table management in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, but I'm still stuck trying to make newly created user accessible from my Visual Studio 2012.

I did exactly what this tutorial told me to do, the user is created, however when I try to open the connection from Visual Studio, it says "SqlException: login failed for user <something>". Which is a funny thing to me, if I enable the Trusted_Connection property in my SqlConnection constructor, I can access the database even if the user ID or password mismatch or non-existent at all.

Any idea how or why? If I can't settle this issue I'm afraid I have to go back to MySql.

Hi,

The query following below differs in execution time on two different systems of same hardware and software configuration -- i.e. 1 second and 39 seconds respectively.

Can anyone tell me what is the issue...

Hi,

Does setQueryTimeout still spawn a thread with Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0?

This link here indicates this was fixed awhile ago:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/aa937724.aspx

However, we are using Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 but are noticing that a setQueryTimeout thread is being spawned (of class com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TimeoutTimer) for every query we execute.

And, the thread seems to stay around even after the query has finished executing.

Can anyone confirm whether this is actually fixed?

Or, does anyone have any ideas how we can avoid having a new thread spawned for monitoring for a query timeout?

Thanks! 

I have a stored procedure that is using an OpenDataSource query to export data from SQL Server into a excel file for download. I’ve installed the “Microsoft Access database engine 2010”, and can see it listed in SQL Server Management Studio under Server Objects > Linked Servers > Providers > Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0.

If I manually run the stored procedure (when logged in as the OS’s administrator), the stored procedure runs fine, and the export is completed successfully.

The stored procedure is set up to be run periodically by a SQL Server Agent job.

However, if I start the SQL Server Agent job (when logged in as the OS’s administrator), the job fails with the following error message:

Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)". [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7303) OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.

I have given the “NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT” user full control permissions on the destination directory where the export file resides (note that it starts out as an empty file just with the column headers defined).

I’ve applied the following configuration settings to SQL Server:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO

What am I missing? Can anyone shed any light on what might be causing the failure?

This is running on SQL Server Web Edition 2012 on Windows Server 2012 Standard.

Thanks!

I have schedule DTS to import every day few tables. It had been working

great and had no problem. All of a sudden I started getting this error.

ERROR AT DESTINATION FOR ROW NUMBER 100. ERROR ENCOUNTERED SO FAR IN THE

TASK. 1 UNIDENTIFIED ERROR. (SQL Server 2013)

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a multi-threaded C++ application that is working on RedHat 6 and I want to use SQL Server.

So I downloaded and installed the driver from Microsoft: RedHat6\msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz 

I noticed that the installation is verifying the the unixODBC version is 2.3.0 .

Therefore, my first question is: What is the reason that Microsoft limited the driver to unixODBC-2.3.0 only ?

In unixODBC-2.3.0 there are some issues that were fixed in unixODBC-2.3.2, so I would like to use this version. 

To work around this limitation in the driver, I modified unixODBC "configure" script with the following:

Replace this string:

        LIB_VERSION="2:0:0"

With this one:

        LIB_VERSION="1:0:0"

Once this is modified I was able to work with unixODBC-2.3.2.

Therefore, my second questions is: Whether Microsoft will provide support for any issues that I may encounter with this SQL Server driver, when I use it together with unixODBC-2.3.2.

Thanks for the help.

I have SQL Server 2008 installed in the company and the management studio, we have a software making some CRM tasks and I is a custom made software written with VB, I accidentally changed the "sa" account password, and the software was accessing the SQL server via the "sa" account. the problem that I don't know the old password of "sa" account and I don't have the source code of the software and there is now ".ini" files having the password of any other accessible files. I need some way to have a detailed log in the SQL having the attempting password of access, of some sniffing software.

p.s. I tried the Wireshark but the data was encrypted. 

any help will appreciated.

thank you in advance

Hi All,

      I try to use odbc driver manager in my .Net Application.first My .Net runtime is 3.5, odbc function calls(unmanaged functions are  imported to .Net application by dllimport attribute)can work well.but when .Net runtime is upgraded to 4.0,SetEnvAttr function calls

return SQL-ERROR and I call SQLGetDiagRec function  get this error information:Operation invalid at this time.sqlstate value is HY011.

below is my code fragment:

  [DllImport("odbc32.dll")]
        extern static short SQLSetEnvAttr(
            IntPtr envHandle,
            ushort attribute,

            int stringLength);

        [DllImport("odbc32.dll")]

                    }
                }

I'm sorry if this was answered here before.

I installed SQL Server 2014 Express and it is working perfectly. I want my server to be accessed through LAN. It is a named instance.

I searched the internet and here's what i did:

1. Through the SQL Configuration manager, I enabled all the Protocols of my Instance (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Shared Memory). I changed in the IP Addresses the "IP ALL" TCP Dynamic Ports to 1434.

2. In the Firewall I made an Inbound Rule to allow the Program (%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MyInstance\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe)

3. I also made 2 Inbound Rules to allow (TCP/IP Port 1433) and (UDP Port 1434).

4. Restarted my instance. SQL Server Browser and  SQL Server Reporting Services are also running.

5. No Luck I cant still access the server using a different computer in the network.

Please help.

This is probably NOT a SQL server question, but I don't know where else to ask it.  I hope someone can help me/point me to the right forum.

I have imported some code from an old project into my current one:  The Imports ('Using' in C#) is:

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo  But this gives a compile error in the new project.

I have added references to both Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo and Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended but Intellisence only shows Microsoft.SqlServer.Server  

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management isn't there

What is wrong?

Thanks

Hello All,

I have to develop a desktop application in Javascript to access SQL server and pull specific data based on user's input. Say if the user enters customer code all the customer details will show up in the javascript Window. Since SQL connection from Javascript can have security issues, I'm looking for alternative to it.

I also tried to work with Adobe Air but they have poor documentation on SQL Connection. Can anybody please give me hand on this? What options you guys suggest to meet my requirement?

Thanks

Hi All,

I have two connected computers via router, running under same home group. Each is a i3 pc running win 7. SQL Server 2008 is installed on one as server (back end) and Access 2007 on the other as client (front end), where tables in Access database were migrated to SQL Server via SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (when Access database was located on server before it was moved to client). To try to access data on server, I went through 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' problem, then after attempts to fix network parameters I got the message 'login failed for user 'SAID\Guest', where 'SAID' is the server name and 'Guest' is an account name that has been created on server as a result of my try to access data. First account was turned off, then I turned it on, while the server was (and still) under an administrative account. SQL Server authentication was 'Windows only', then I turned it to 'Windows and SQL Server', followed by restart of SQL Server. Message still persists. Any solution? Bear in mind I need to remain on server under the administrative account.

Best regards.

Any idea ? I'm able to test the linked server ADSI successfully. Is there a raw test when I can query the AD ?

TIA !

We are experiencing a performance issue whereby we are executing a stored procedure from a client using SSMS and it runs in virtually no time at all. Through JDBC (via user app or DBeaver) it takes minutes.

I've captured the query plan via the Query Profiler and the query plan is significantly different between the SSMS plan and the DBeaver JDBC plan, which is a suboptimal plan. We are well versed in general SQL Server perf tuning but am at a loss as to understand why two plans are created. We have executed the proc using WITH RECOMPILE to eliminate the plan being cached between each test.

The JDBC driver is V4 and the target server is 2008 R2 (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64)   Jun 17 2011 00:54:03   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) )

Are there any obvious areas to look in order to research this please? I've checked the ansi settings on the connections using DMVs and they look identical.

We are about to retest on a 2008 R2 server at a later patch level also.
