[WinXP Pro SP2, SQL Server 2000 SP4, VS C++ 2005 Express]
A humble hello to all,
I have spent days trying to simply connect to an instance of SQL Server
2000 SP4 from a program written in C++/CLI using VS C++ 2005 Express. I
originally had SQL server 2000 Dev Ed and SQL Server 2005 Express installed
side by side. I could not connect to either server. I uninstalled both SQL
2005 Express and SQL 2000 Dev Ed, then re-installed SQL SVR 2000 Dev Ed and
applied Service Pack 4. Both the SQL Server 2000 instance and my application
are on the same machine (local). The Server Instance is running and I've
enabled the SQL Server Agent, DTC, and OLAP just for good measure. yes, I'm
very new to SQL server and it's various services, etc. and I'm totally lost
and loosing hair. I've included my code and the settings in SQL Enterprise
Manager and Client Network Utility below. If more information is needed, I'l
l
post it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
M

Try removing the Data Source bit. Data Source and Server are the same
thing. But Data Source points to a default instance, and apparently
you SQL 2000 instance is a named instance.

Erland,
I removed the Data Source clause and received the same error message.
Anything else you can think of to try, I'll plug it in and run it.
Thank you,

When I think of it, don't you need to double the \ in the string? It also
looks funny that there are no concatenation operators, but it may be this
CLI thing you mentioned, that I don't know what it is.

I'm embarrassed... I got so wound up in installing SQL Server(both 2005
Express and 2000) and playing with the Server Explorer (VS.NET 2003), that I
didn't even notice a very basic string rule had been violated. You are
correct that the '' character is \\ in a string. No concatenation operators
are necessary. After playing around a little, the following connection
string worked.
"Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
"Data Source=COMP\\DEV_SQL;" //or "Server=COMP\\DEV_SQL;" also worked
"Initial Catalog=My_DB;
Once again, sleep deprivation has given me a swift kick in the pants!
Thanks for your help,
M

I too am having a problem connecting to a Remote SQL Server 2000 database

Do I need to make any additional settings. AFAIR, there was no such setting
required in 2000. Am I missing anything here?

Hi Niranjan,
Indeed. Fr security reasons, SQL Server 2005 is configured to not allow
outside connections by default.
To enable outside connections, start the Surface Area Configuration tool
(Start / All Programs / Microsoft SQL Server 2005 / Configuration Tools
/ SQL Server Surface Area Coonfiguration), click Service Area
Configuration for Services and Connections, select the {instancename} /
Database Engine / Remote Connections entry and change the setting from
"Local connections only" to "Local and remote connections". Then, check
if you want to allow TCP/IP only, named pipes only, or both. Click OK,
close the Surfacce Area Configuration tool and restart the instance.

Hi, I need some help. I've spent nearly a w

of work and lunch time trying
to crack this nut, and I guess I am finally stuck.
I have a table with financial data like invoices. The tables are huge.
Hundreds of millions of rows per year.
I want to store some additional information related to gambling in one of
these tables.
I want to put this new data way off in the corner of the table temporarily
until I am able to come back to work.
For reasons that are private, I do not want to create a new table.
So if I could stick this information out starting at say row 104,000 and
column 333,000 that would be great. No one's going to look there. And if
they do it will look like some kind of mistake. I can't figure out how to
get the data there.
Any good Ideas would naturally be of great help. Also, since I am in sort of
a hurry (tax day is april 15) I would really appreciate it if I could just
get some of those "only the quality answers." I know a lot of people like to
yik yak, but I just need da facts. Thanks a lot!Hi
I'm not sure I understand you. Do you want to add additional column? If you
do , use ALTER TABLE TableName ADD Column.....
If you want to do paging I'd recomend you vist Aaron's web site
www.aspfaq.com .
