EnumAvailableSqlServers does not return version numbers correctly
I have a machine that has just SQL2005 (as default instance with no instance
name.) I am trying to list all SQL 2005 server instances on the network usin
g
SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers( ) and trying to filter the servers
based on version information. This machine shows up in the list, but does no
t
have version information. I saw another post on Sql Server Programming
newgroup without any response. Is this a known bug in SMO? If it is, does
anyone know how I can list SQL2005 servers only on a network that has both
SQL2005 and SQL2000 servers?
Any help is geratly appreciated.SMO in its current implementation uses
SqlDataSourceEnumerator.GetDataSources under the cover (
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/li...
etdatasources(VS.80).aspx)
Can you try writing calling this instead and see if you get the version?
This can help us isolate the problem.
Thanks,

Entity ’ in SQL Server 2000 output
The DB contains some french text e.g. ltranger stored in a nvarchar column.
When I query the DB the result contains the entity 8217; rather than the character itself. I don't want this and it doesn't happen in SQL Server 7.
Tried changing the collation from SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS but with no luck.
Does anyone have experience with this?
ThanksHi,
Did you change collation on the entire dB or on table and column ?
Which collation do you have as standard ?
Regards
Tommy|||Hi,
We've changed the collation of the individual dB/table, but not
the collation of the server (which is still SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), so as not to affect other dBs.
Is it likely to be a collation issue?|||Hi,
I'm not sure about that. I've tried to insert that text into a table with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and the result in query analyzer is correct, have you tried select "column" from "table".
Is the result the same ?
Where did the dB data come from ?
You may check how it's inserted into the dB.
Let me know !
Tommy|||Hi,
Thanks for taking an interest.
The original data is probably generated in some Microsoft applications i.e. Word. I have no control over that.
Yes, the results look okay in query analyser, the problem occurs when I do SQL calls through an ODBC driver from a remote machine.
I don't think it's a driver problem because I get the correct characters when testing on SQL Server 7.
What has changed between 7 and 2000?
Help|||Ok,
That's a tricky one..
One of the things that changed in SQL 2000 is collations (the possibility to set collations on dB, tables and columns not just on the server).
and sometimes just change the collation on the table or columns or only the dB just ain't enough.
Some things you can do is:
Check the application, how/what does it when querying the dB, how do the question look like. (run SQL profiler) if you can't look in the code.
The collation on SQL 7 ?
How did you do the switch from SQL 7 to 2000 ?
Regional settings on the client. (? ? I'm not sure about this)
Anyone else have a succession ?
I can send you a proc that handles collations if you'll like.
Regards
Tommy|||Hi,
Basically we just send an SQLExecute command with a SELECT statement.
Of course I can parse out the & #8217 from the results but surely I shouldn't need to? (And also what about any other entities I may encounter?)
Anyway, thanks for the suggestions
Enterprise to Standard downgrade
1) is this error a result of the copy process?
2) is this a recoverable error, and if so, how?
3) are there any other problems and side-effects of which we need to be aware?I have moved databases between Standard and Enterprise several times before, and not had this issue, so it can be done. Without any other information, I can only guess as to why this is happening, but here is my guess:
The user-account being used by the program that is throwing the error probably has a different default database setting than on the Enterprise version. In other words, UserX on the Enterprise server probably has a default database pointing to the application database, and on the Standard edition has a default database of something like Master.
This would cause a problem in implicit database references. If the program issues a command like SELECT * FROM systables, thinking it is going to automatically be pointing to the application database, but is actually pointing to something else, it will not be able to find systables. The proper syntax for the query would explicitly state the table name SELECT * FROM [dbname].dbo.systables, in which case the default database setting of the user would not affect the code.|||The default database for the user is the same on both servers. Any other ideas? Is there any other information I could give that might be of assistance?

2) Does the user account being used by the application have SELECT (etc) permissions for the table?
The exact error message might be helpful.|||check the service pack level|||We've found the issue. Basically, an error was made during the installation of the software. To everyone, thanks for the help.

Enterprise Manager takes 10+ min to open
I've got a machine with about 750 databases on it, and growing.
Enterprise Manager is very slow coming up on this machine and I was
wondering what I could do about it. What's it doing, connecting to
every database?What version of SQL are you using? Also indicate the service pack
please.

You can start a profiler session, start EM, and just observe what is
going on under the hood.

For one thing make sure you don't have the databases set to autoclose.
That can take a long time.

Go in Options and uncheck the "Server state polling" option in the
General tab. Also in you server registration uncheck the "Display SQL

Enterprise manager settings migration?
ThanksOriginally posted by aashu
Anyone knows if it is at all possible to Copy or Move the Server Registered under EM to another machine ?
Thanks
but if have the registered server on ur EM then u can just use that to register the same servers on another instance of EM... or you could get the information for the server from the Client Network Utility: ipaddresses, servername etc.|||I am aware of that . Doing for 50 Servers will be a nightmare .. So , back to the question again , is there some ini file or EM setup file I could move over?
Thanks|||I know the information about registered servers is in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\microsoft sql server\80\tools\sqlew\registeredservers x
You should be able to export this key with regedt32. If you use regedit, you may only get the directory structure, and none of the data. Hope this helps.|||Thats what I was looking for !|||The same information is in HKEY_USERS\... But you have to guess at what your NT SID is. This is probably the more definitive place to get and store the information, as I think HKEY_CURRENT_USER is cleared when you log out.
As always, modifying your registry can have dire consequences, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Enterprise Manager has stopped working!
Even if I change the reg properties it still will not let me access the database, it just keeps giving the same error.

Enterprise Manager Hangs
access my SQL 2000 (sp3) server on a W2K3 Enterprise
machine it hangs (stops responding). The tool loads
correctly but when I dig down the tree to get at the
instance on the local machine it stops responding when
trying to Establish the Connection and checking Windows
Security.
The server is loading and running, but I can't make any
new databases.
I can stop and start the server.
I have tried reinstalling. I have checked that the
services are running correctly.Hi, please verify permissions on folder Microsoft SQL Server.
Verify if you services account have permissions on foder MSSQL
Verify the event viewer to view if you have more messages about mssqlserver
The problem is generally by permissions
I hope help you

Enterprise Manager Freezing up
When I try to browse databases within Enterprise Manager on my SQL server,
the machine freezes up. It takes like 20 minutes to just see the list of
databases on the server.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it.
thanks
rafaelAre you running any jobs on it or doing anything like rebuilding indexes?
Could be low on resources - not sure though, you didn't give any specs or
specific info. You can use Profiler to analyze further.

A number of people seem to have had similar issues - if you Google the
newsgroups, you'll see that the usual response is to reinstall either the
MSSQL client tools (including SP3a) and/or the latest MDAC version.
Unfortunately, it doesn't always seem to solve the problem.

DHow about trying adding aliases from SQL Server Client Network Utility?
Add Aliases for your named instances and try connecting then.
You may obtain more info about this from the following link:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213780(SQL.80).aspx
You may want to have a look at the following article from BOL to learn more
about Browser Service of SQL Server 2005. This may be irrelevant however it
informs you about SS2000' s listening service too. It may give you an idea.

There's a very simple workaround for the scripting error you're
encountering in Enterprise Manager.
Just right-click on the DB, click view, then click list to display the
DB objects. Go back, right-click on the DB, click view, then click
Taskpad. It will reset the web interface and it'll work again.
Yes, another stupid bug in MSSQL SQL Server.

enterprise manager
I have setup a new test server running sql2k sp3 on sbs2003. I have my
client machine which is just running sql2k on windows 2000. Is it safe to
use enterprise manager on my machine (no sp installed) to connect to the
sql2k sp3 server? Or is it recommended I install sp3 on mine too?
thanks!It is ideal to have your client utilitys at SP3 level also as there are
changes to the SQL-DMO dlls etc. which SEM uses
