sql-server-2005-express

Can you please explain how to setup a linked server between a SQL Server (A) and a SQL Server Express (B) scenario. Server A is SQL Server 2000, whereas Server B is SQL Server 2005 Express. I have set these up in the past, but none where connected to a SQL Server Express version. Thanks, Billy You can use this sp to do it. EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'MylinkedServer', @useself = 'FALSE', @locallogin = NULL, @rmtuser = 'me', @rmtpassword = 'myrmtpassword' Shiraz Bhaiji You could try using the sp_addlinkedserver stored procedure: https://web.archive.org/web/1/http://blogs

I've got a trio of Windows servers (data1, data2 and datawitness) that aren't part of any domain and don't use AD. I'm trying to set up mirroring based on the instructions at http://alan328.com/SQL2005_Database_Mirroring_Tutorial.aspx . I've had success right up until the final set of instructions where I tell data1 to use datawitness as the witness server. That step fails with the following message: alter database MyDatabase set witness = 'TCP://datawitness.somedomain.com:7024' The ALTER DATABASE command could not be sent to the remote server instance 'TCP://datawitness.somedomain.com:7024'.

I have a database with a main table (lets call it Owner) and several sub tables with holdings (like Cars, Books etc). For example: Owner has columns: owner_id, name Cars has columns: owner_id (foreign key), brand Books has columns: owner_id (foreign key), title, author My program should calculate statistics like How many BMW owners also owns a Harry Potter book using various third party libraries. I want to read all rows from all tables at the same time and then do the analysis in non-sql code. I want to read all tables using separate Select * From X statements. I cannot use one big join since

How can I generate a script in SQL Server 2005 with data in table? Unfortunately the options to script data along with schema didn't seem to appear until SQL Server 2008, so I think you're stuck with third party options. SSMS Tool Pack has a generate inserts option Narayana Vyas Kondreddi has an excellent generate inserts script I've been using for a few years now Use data publishing wizard. step by step explanation at : http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/11/16/sql-server-2005-generate-script-with-data-from-database-database-publishing-wizard/ I had the same problem before, and there seems to

I have two stored procedures running in separate threads, running on SQL Server 2005. One procedure inserts new rows into a set of tables and the other procedure deletes old data from the same set of tables. These procedures are running into a deadlock on the tables DLevel and Model . Here is the schema: (source: barramsoft.com ) Table DFile : Primary Key = DFileID Table DLevel : Primary Key = DLevelID, Foreign Key: DFileID Table Model : Primary Key = ModelID, Foreign Key: DFileID Table ELement : Primary key = ElementID, Foreign Key1: DFileID, Foreign Key2: DLevelID I have isolated the exact

how to pass column name with parameter in insert sql statment e.g. @name='name' insert into employees (id,@name) values(1,'a') is this possible? No it isn't possible you would need to build the SQL Statement including the column either in your application or by using dynamic SQL in SQL Server itself. Edit: RE: "what's dynamic sql". The approach is as follows. DECLARE @Value nvarchar(100) DECLARE @InsertString nvarchar(1000) DECLARE @name sysname SET @name ='name' SET @Value = 'a' SET @InsertString= 'INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES (id,' + @name + ') values(1, @Value)' EXEC sp_executesql @InsertString, N
