MSDE and ISA

I am running 2 instances of MSDE2000 on a server with Win2K server SP4 and
ISA Server 2000. From the workstations on the network I am able to create
an ODBC connection to the default instance of SQL (MSSQL) but receive an
error when trying to connect to the 2nd instance (MSSQL\INSTANCENAME). Both
names appear in the dropdown list when creating the ODBC connection. Both
instances are running and networking for TCP/IP is enabled using SVRNETCN.
Both instances use the same SA password and connection is made using SQL
Authentication.
Error Message is
Connection Failed
SQLState 01000
SQL Server Error: 10048
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect())
Connection Failed
SQLState 08001
SQL Server Error: 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied
If I stop both instances of SQL and start only the 2nd instance i am then
able to connect to it but am unable to connect to the default instance when
it is restarted. It seems that the first instance of SQL to start can have
a connection made to it and any other instances cannot have an ODBC
connection. I think it may be related to ISA Server but cannot confirm at
this stage
Any advice would be appreciated.

Check the port numbers for both instances, they should be different
different. Check the application log/system log for any errors generated
by the second instance you start.

MSDE 2000 SP4 Merge Modules

I have a MSDE 2000 InstallShield install package that I've created using the
merge modules. I downloaded the SP4 of the desktop engine from the microsoft
site. When downloaded and extracted, there is a folder on my machine
\MSDE\MSM which has all of the merge modules. I've noticed that the SP4
release has 3 new mm's: msxmlsql32.msm, msxmlsqlr32.msm, and qfepatch.msm.
In the InstallShield DevStudio 9.01 IDE, I check the 3 new mm's. When I go
and build I receive the following error: "Error retrieving dependency
MSXMLSQL1033.996A3FBA_B9BC_4189_9DB1_2B3C86B526BC: 1033 of C:\Program
Files\InstallShield\DevStudio 9\Modules\i386\MSXMLSQL32.MSM". Anyone know
why I'm getting this error?
Thanks.

no idea, never used MSDE merge modules, always installed using the setup.exe
boostrap installer.... but have you tried modifying the order of
installation?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_8yeq.asp
has not been updated (as BOL in general) at sp4 level, so no additional info
about those new merge modules seems available..
BTW, the MSDE readme file, at point 4.2 MSDE 2000 SP4 File location
specifies:
"Note Merge modules are not supported for new installations. They are
provided in SP4 for servicing instances of MSDE 2000 that were previously
installed using merge modules."

|||I don't know much about MSDE and am just doing some research on it as of
this week.
However, I cam across this link yesterday which might be useful:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp4.asp
Here is an extract from the site:
"Users who have an existing instance of MSDE 2000 must know how their
instance of MSDE 2000 was installed to know how to update it. In particular,
you must know the original package name for your instance of MSDE 2000. To
determine the original package name, see the article How To Identify Which
MSI File Was Used for an Existing MSDE Installation in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base."

|||Thanks so much for your help. This an existing MSDE 2000 InstallShield
install package and we have a client who wants to upgrade to SP4 so that is
why I'm trying to build an upgrade for them. I'd like to get rid of using
the MSDE 2000 merge modules per Microsoft's comment. I got it to build by
editing the msxmlsql32.msm and the msxmlsqlr32.msm using the Orca tool. I
think there is a problem with the rows in the ModuleDependency table. I
guess I have the option of building it without these two mm's as our database
application doesn't use xml. I'm a little apprehensive of doing this only
because there is no documentation on these new mm's. I might post to
InstallShield also. Again thanks.

msde 2000 sp4 - configuration failed

There is a bugfix in sp4 that I need for a customer machine. I have
been unsuccesful in getting service pack 4 installed on a test machine.
configuration:
windows 2000, msde 2000 sp2
setup command line:
setup /upgradesp sqlrun SECURITYMODE=SQL
UPGRADEUSER=myadminacct UPGRADEPWD=mypassword /L*v
C:\MSDELog.log
The setup runs for a couple minutes, then dialog progress bar winds
down. I have a 3.7 MB log, at the end I have:
=== Logging stopped: 7/7/2005 15:30:34 ===

=== Verbose logging stopped: 7/7/2005 15:30:34 ===
After this happens, sqlserver agent will no longer start. I re-imaged
the machine and ran it again with the same result.
Anyone else have similar problems installing sp4? Anyone have a
solution?
Thanks!

Thanks for the "value 3" tip. This was some problem with the account
that sqlserveragent and mssqlserver were running under. Changed to
LocalSystem and installation succeeded.

MSDE 2000 problems with linked server

I have set up several servers with MSDE 2000 sp4, have created tables in
these databases, can access, read, write data to the database through win sql
and asp. I have set up a linked server to an oracle database and created a
linkedsrvlogin. I can select data from my oracle database throught SQL using
the linked server. All of my servers are working fine except one. Onne
particular server is taking an extrememly long time to retrive certain data.
For example, I have one server that can get 31000 rows from my linked server
in 14 seconds, using anohter server, it takes almost 3 mins to get back 773
rows from the same table.
Any ideas? Its driving me crazy!!!
Hi Lloyd
Have you tried adding a host file entry to the oracle server on the machine
which is slower than the others, it's a stab in the dark but your one machine
could be talking longer to resolve the name of the oracle db.

MSDE 2000 on top of Office 2002

I have a company PC preloaded with:
- Win-2000 SP4
- Access/Excel 2002 (10.x) SP-2

I need to install MSDE, and I have the Office 2000 CD. The queostion is: would MSDE cause a regression in Access and Excel ?

I understand why MSDE is packaged together with Office. But I hope they do not use too many common resources (e.g. DLLs). Otherwise, isntalling MSDE 200 would throw Access/Excel back to the 2000 level.

Is MSDE really independent of the version of Office running on the same machine ?It should not affect your office installation at all because MSDE has nothing to do with office. All it is, is a data engine like SQL Server so it is like installing SQL Server 7.0 on the machine.

MSDE & SQL Server 2005 Mobile Server Tools problem

After installing MSDE(with SP4) and SQL Server 2000 SP4 Replication Components, the SQL Server 2005 Mobile Server Tools installation fails when running the System Configuration Check with a SQL Server requirement Error.

"You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components"

Am I getting this error because I'm using the Desktop Engine version of the SQL Server 2000?

We have NOT tested SQL CE/Mobile Merge Replication with MSDE. And, we dont know the problems you may face.

Thanks,

Laxmi Narsimha Rao ORUGANTI, MSFT, SQL Mobile, Microsoft Corporation

I've been using MSDE with SQL CE 2.0 without any problems.

With the release of Windows Mobile 5.0 I had to upgrade my applications using VS 2005 and start using SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition instead of SQL CE2.0.

With SQL Server 2005 Express Edition things changed a little bit, because this version only works as a Subscriber when using Replication (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/sseoverview.asp).

The scenario is quite simple. After installing MSDE(SP4) in Windows XP Professional(SP2) and installing Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4 Replication Components and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 I try to install the SQL Server 2005 Mobile Server Tools, but during the System Configuration Check that error is displayed.

|||Any tips on how it can be achieved? MSDE - SqlCE merge replication I mean.
There is a problem which I'm trying to solve for quite some time:
SQL Server 2000 - SqlCE merge replication works just fine, but in MSDE -SqlCE scenario it seems to be some trouble.
I always get the same error: 29045 - reconciler has failed. Basically it means, that SqlCE server agent cannot start Reconciler under MSDE. What can cause such a disaster? Incompatibility of components used? This isnt connectivity or access rights issue, i'm pretty sure of it.
I've tried to use different versions of MSDE: MSDE SP4 and MSDE SP3a. Searching in different newsgroups for a couple of hours makes me think that older versions of MSDE are more suitable for my task because few posts stated that merge replication works on MSDE SP3a, but this subject isnt covered in detail. Can you provide any help?

READ MY POST YESTERDAY

we are all waiting for Microsoft to bring this function

I will pay for it as you probably will as well

I dont understand why we are the only developers putting pressure on this matter

We need help. The other case is that we can begin referring other 3rd party non microsoft providers....

You need to get onto my post and tell them you want it too

If you are looking for SQL Mobile/SQL Ev to SQL Server synchronization you need to have either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and above.

MSDB database

I have under SQL Server 2000 Standard Version with SP3a on Windows 2000 SP4
a Database Maintenance plan to backup transaction logs of all databases
hourly.
This job has been frequently failing, and the reason is that on the MSDB
database, the Recovery option has for some mysterious reason frequently been
reset from FULL to SIMPLE, and in order to get transaction logs backing up,
it needs to be set to FULL.
anyone has any ideas why/what process, etc. would reset the recovery option
from FULL to SIMPLE?> I have under SQL Server 2000 Standard Version with SP3a on Windows 2000
SP4
> a Database Maintenance plan to backup transaction logs of all databases
> hourly.
Backing up the transaction logs from all databases seems like overkill.
What is the point, e.g. for tempdb?
> anyone has any ideas why/what process, etc. would reset the recovery
option
> from FULL to SIMPLE?
This is the way SQL Server works.
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?id=257856
If you really want to back up msdb every hour, then you can make a task in
your job to temporarily set the recovery model to FULL. However this won't
accomplish much as the transaction logs won't be complete (and maybe not
even usable, depending on how you plan to use them).
If you want the behavior to be different, you can let Microsoft know how you
feel: sqlwish@.microsoft.com

that link is interesting. sort of contradicts the line from BOL "All recovery
models are supported for model, msdb and distribution." since full recovery on
msdb only works until sqlagent is restarted.
i always prefer to have a dbmp for user databases and one for system databases.
in the system one, i don't back up transaction logs.
i think it's sort of goofy that the transaction log backup from a dbmp will try
to backup the logs for db's in simple recovery and then generate errors. i've
written a script that skips simple recovery db's for the log backups, why can't
microsoft implement it in the dbmp jobs?
