General Network error

I am using Windows Form with web service, I am getting error ocassionally when I am accessing records "System.data.sqlclient.sqlexception General Network error" , When I click again the error disappears.This is not a security related error. You should try the SQL Server Data Access forum. If you want, I can move this thread there, just let me know.

Thanks
Laurentiu|||HI!! Laurentiu,

Kindly move the thread to Sql Server Data Access Forum.

Thank You
Uminder Khatri|||

The information here is really not sufficient for us to help figure this out. Can you give us some more detail as to what your configuration is?
Are you running .Net 1.1?
What version of SQL Server are you running?

It could quite possibly be that the server is crashing. Can you check out the error logs on the server and see if there's anything suspicious there?

Thanks.

Gantt chart in SQL reporting service

Hi all,

I need creat a gannt chart for project server report in SQL reporting service. Is somebody know some good third party tool can help to implement or how to creat by hand?

Thanks in advance!

I use Dundas Chart for Reporting Services and can thoroughly recommend it and it supports Gannt Charts

|||Thanks Jasper! But Dundas chart is a little bit expensive solution for us. It supports SQL 2000 reporting service?|||I downloaded the Dundas Chart for Reporting Services and try to create a Gantt chart. I found it's very difficult to do, as there're many settings on it. Is there any tutorial provided? Thanks!

fyi: sql server 2005 service packs and hot fixes

anyone using ssis ought to consider installing sp1 and the hot fixes.

of course, these should be tested before installing on a server in production.

Also, July update for Books Online is very useful http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=BE6A2C5D-00DF-4220-B133-29C1E0B6585F&displaylang=en -

Future with SSIS

Hi,

We have a NT service built via Visual Basic 6 which fires dts processes on demand according some criteria. Well, on the whole and basically only for the following rule:

-dts process is executed when our service recognize a concrete plain file leaved in a folder. It’s generally generated for a mainframe JCL along with a activator file (.nul file, empty). Each application own a folder and each folder have lots of files as the aforementioned ones. Scheduler for that is an ASP application that lives within a intranet. It also is a monitor and logger

In that schema, keeping on mind that eight out of ten are ETL processes, critical ones and on daily-basis, our question is, how to handle on with this stuff using by sql25k and its powerful SSIS? Migrating such dts packages to SSIS packages is a piece of cake (now no before; thanks Jamie, Michael and other guys for your awesome help) because of its tipology. However our main concern is what the hell to use. Centralized dtsx package running all day long as a service, listening and checking for files? .Net windows application either vb or c#? aspx solution? Set of .vbs interlinked among them?

This is a old post/goal. In spite of we have not defined any deadline for that, what the heck as time goes by is more urgent for us. A restriction: we can’t to programme nothing from our sql25k production cluster physically. Any stuff will be done on workstations.

In terms of cost, no problem at all. We are interested in hear thoughts and point of view about which is the most effective way

Thanks in advance,

I don't like packages running all day, listening for events. The architecture was not designed for that, and we have not tested packages as long running listeners.

I would suggest using SQL Server Agent, with alerts, listening for WMI messages about files arriving. See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191508.aspx

The alerts can execute SSIS packages using the SQL Agent SSIS subsystem.

Full-Text-Search

Hi friends

i work with sql server 2005 express(Management Studio)

can i use full text search service with that edition of sql server?

and how i can use that.

thank u.Smile [:)]

The Full-Text Search feature is not available in SQL Server 2005 Express.

HTH,
Ryan

thank u for ur answering.

so which edition of sql server support that?

The Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise editions all support Full-text Search.

HTH,
Ryan

ok

is it hard to work with service?

Do you mean is it difficult to get Full-text Search to work? I've never played with Full-text Search, but here's an article that should give you a better understanding of it:Understanding SQL Server Full-Text Indexing.

HTH,
Ryan

the Express Edition does in fact have full text search feature available. to get this you need to download a different file, SQL Server with Advance services -http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/compare/default.aspx

Not sure if this was released since the last post here - just though i would answer seeing as i was floating around.

Full-text setup error

Hi,
I'm trying to install full-text search service on SQL server using command
ftsetup.exe, but I always get error "FulltextSetup returned error code:
0x80000023".
I've upgraded MSDE with SQL Server 2000 standard . Upgrade process did not
install full-text search service, so I had to do it manually as it is
suggested in KB article 827449
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;827449). I've
successfuly installed Microsoft Search service (service is running), but
when I try to configure the instance of SQL Server to use the Microsoft
Search service with ftsetup command ("ftsetup.exe SQLServer 0 1 0 0 0"), it
fails. I have SQL server 2000 standard with SP3a, and MSSQLSERVER service is
running as local system account.
Can you please give me some advice how to make full-text working?
Thanx (and Happy New Year to all),
Bogdan
Bogdan,
The procedures KB article 827449 are used when it is necessary to "manually
RE-install" the FT Search components on a server where these components were
install installed, but later determined that some problem occurred during
that installation. In your case, the initial FT Search components have not
been installed due to your upgrade path from MSDE to SQL Server 2000
Standard Edition. I'd recommend that you install the Full-text Search
components via your SQL Server 2000 Setup CD and select "custom
installation" and under "server components" you will see "Full-text Search"
and you should checkmark this and then the SQL Server 2000 Setup process
will install these components for you.
Thanks,
John

Full-Text Search stopped for confict in service accounts

Hi:
In me organizattion are one sql 2000 server with the dbs.
When remote users connect to this server can't see the Full-Text Search
running.
The Microsoft Search service in windows are running.
I was read that the problem concern to change the user of microsoft sql
services after install the server. This is the poit. This server have this
problem. I change the user of sql services after install the sql.
Have any form of resolve this confinct without reinstall the sql server?
Thanks a lot

MSSearch must run under the local system account. One of the reasons SQL FTS
might not work is because you change the account that MSSQLServer runs under
using control panel. If so you should locate your server in Enterprise
Manager, right click on it, and select properties, then click the security
tab, and change it back to system, SQL Server will prompt you to stop and
start it. Then change it back to the local admin account.
I suspect you are actually running into this problem -

full-text search service doesn't start on Win2K3 server

Hello,
I am having trouble getting the full-text search to properly install on a
Win2k3 server. The folder is there but it is empty. I'm not sure if this is
related but when I go to install SQL2000 on a Win2K3 box it tells me that
SQL2000 sp 2 and below are not supported. I went ahead with the install
thinking that I could just upgrade it to sp3a right after. Is this what
screws up the full text install? Do I need to get a disk with SQL2000 and
sp3 combined to get this to work? Any ideas will be appreciated.
TIA!!
jj
Pls check your sqlstp.log and sqlsp.log for any FTS related error messages
that happened during setup or upgrade.

Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot

Active-active cluster. The second node was reinstalled after a hardware
failure.
The MS Search service is started.
But when I try to query full-text the error message shows up:
Server: Msg 7609, Level 17, State 1, Line 1
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
How can I reinstall full-text on cluster environment without affect the node
is working ?
thank you
Shimon
I believe you need to evict this node from the cluster, reinstall SQL Server
there and then upgrade it to add it back to the cluster. I have forwarded
this to microsoft.public.sqlserver.clustering for their response to this, as
this is really a clustering question.

|||When you evict a node from a cluster and replace it, you must also clean the
node from the SQL installation. Run the SQL installer and remove the old
node. Then you can re-add it to SQL, which will also re-install full-text.
Don't forget to reapply any service packs and hotfixes to the new node.

Once you add the node back into the cluster, you then need to run SQL Server

Try this
1. Open the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
\Services\msftesql
2. Rename the value DependOnService to anything
3. Restart the server
This have helped me.

Full-Text Search Error - Server: Msg 7635 The Microsoft Search service cannot be administered un

Hello and thank you for your assistance.

I have two instances of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (SP4) database running on Windows 2000 Enterprise server. The default instance is dev and a named instance for QA. Full-text search is enabled for dev and is functioning properly.

@.@.Version:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86) May 13 2005 18:33:17 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

I am trying to enable full text search in the QA instance with this command: "sp_fulltext_database 'enable' ", but I am receiving the error "Server: Msg 7635 The Microsoft Search service cannot be administered under the present user account.

I can find any reference to what account it needs to run under. Can you provide me with info on why I am getting this message?

This is a common error with SQL Server 2000 Full-text Search (FTS) and the MSSearch service and there can be a few root reasons for it.

1. Did this error occur after a service pack upgrade? If so - review the files and folders under \FTDATA (in the sql server installed instance folder) against what is on your SQL Server 2000 CD. If you find any difference - copy the missing or different file from the CD to the problem server.

2. Have you removed the BUILTIN\Administrators login? If so - either add it back in or execute the sp_grantlogin from the code below as the MSSearch service requires this level of access to the MSSQLServer service.

3. Check these:
317746 PRB: SQL Server Full-Text Search Does Not Populate Catalogs
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317746
277549 PRB: Unable to Build Full-Text Catalog After You Modify MSSQLServer Logon Account Through Control Panel
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277549

4. Can you run this script and post the results back?

use master
go
SELLECT @.@.version
go
-- many need to set on "show advanced options"
sp_configure 'default full-text language'
go
SELECT FullTextServiceProperty('ResourceUsage') as MSSearch_Resource_Usage
go
xp_logininfo 'BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS', 'members'
go

-- if you have removed the BUILTIN\Administrators login, run:

exec sp_grantlogin N'NT Authority\System'
exec sp_defaultdb N'NT Authority\System', N'master'
exec sp_defaultlanguage N'NT Authority\System','us_english'
exec sp_addsrvrolemember N'NT Authority\System', sysadmin

5. And just to cover all the bases, when you changed the MSSQLServer startup account, did you do it via Win2K's Component Services? If so, could you "re-change" it via the Enterprise Manager's server property security tab?

Filip,

Thank you so much for your response. To answer your questions; No we haven't added any service packs recently. Yes, we do have the Builtin/Administer removed and the NT Authority has all the required privileges. Keep in mind that the default instance was working just fine.

Since the MSSQL$Inst2/FTData directory didn't exist; I suspect that FullText search was not installed with the second instance. None the less, I re-installed fulltext search (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827449). After doing this I no longer received the "Cannot be administered under the present account" error and the FTData directory was created for the second instance. But, at this point Full text search didn't work for both instances. I wasn't receiving any errors, but the catalogs were not getting populated. We later found that the switch in the KB article was incorrect for our servers. The article had us run "ftsetup.exe SQLServer$Instance 1 0 0 0" (incorrect). After we ran "ftsetup.exe SQLServer$Instance 0 1 0 0 0" (correct) FullText search began to function correctly for both instances.

To be honest, I don't think I had to reinstall everything. I believe I could have gotten away with just running ftsetup.exe for the second instance.

I am glad you got it working,

Regards,
Filip

1. Did this error occur after a service pack upgrade? If so - review the files and folders under \FTDATA (in the sql server installed instance folder) against what is on your SQL Server 2000 CD. If you find any difference - copy the missing or different file from the CD to the problem server.

2. Have you removed the BUILTIN\Administrators login? If so - either add it back in or execute the sp_grantlogin from the code below as the MSSearch service requires this level of access to the MSSQLServer service.

3. Check these:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277549

4. Can you run this script and post the results back?

use master
go
SELLECT @.@.version
go
-- many need to set on "show advanced options"
sp_configure 'default full-text language'
go
SELECT FullTextServiceProperty('ResourceUsage') as MSSearch_Resource_Usage
go
xp_logininfo 'BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS', 'members'
go

-- if you have removed the BUILTIN\Administrators login, run:

exec sp_grantlogin N'NT Authority\System'
exec sp_defaultdb N'NT Authority\System', N'master'
exec sp_defaultlanguage N'NT Authority\System','us_english'
exec sp_addsrvrolemember N'NT Authority\System', sysadmin

5. And just to cover all the bases, when you changed the MSSQLServer startup account, did you do it via Win2K's Component Services? If so, could you "re-change" it via the Enterprise Manager's server property security tab?

Filip,

Thank you so much for your response. To answer your questions; No we haven't added any service packs recently. Yes, we do have the Builtin/Administer removed and the NT Authority has all the required privileges. Keep in mind that the default instance was working just fine.

Since the MSSQL$Inst2/FTData directory didn't exist; I suspect that FullText search was not installed with the second instance. None the less, I re-installed fulltext search (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827449). After doing this I no longer received the "Cannot be administered under the present account" error and the FTData directory was created for the second instance. But, at this point Full text search didn't work for both instances. I wasn't receiving any errors, but the catalogs were not getting populated. We later found that the switch in the KB article was incorrect for our servers. The article had us run "ftsetup.exe SQLServer$Instance 1 0 0 0" (incorrect). After we ran "ftsetup.exe SQLServer$Instance 0 1 0 0 0" (correct) FullText search began to function correctly for both instances.

To be honest, I don't think I had to reinstall everything. I believe I could have gotten away with just running ftsetup.exe for the second instance.

I am glad you got it working,

Full-Text Search Error - Server: Msg 7635 The Microsoft Search service cannot be administere

Hello and thank you for your assistance.

I have two instances of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (SP4) database running on Windows 2000 Enterprise server. The default instance is dev and a named instance for QA. Full-text search is enabled for dev and is functioning properly.

@.@.Version:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86) May 13 2005 18:33:17 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

I am trying to enable full text search in the QA instance with this command: "sp_fulltext_database 'enable' ", but I am receiving the error "Server: Msg 7635 The Microsoft Search service cannot be administered under the present user account.

I can find any reference to what account it needs to run under. Can you provide me with info on why I am getting this message?

Full-Text Search - performance cost?

I am conducting performance tuning & optimization of a SQL2K5 database. The server has Full-Text Search Service enabled and running. However, I don't believe the applications are actually using this Service and I am considering disabling it to conserve resources since apps are performing high transactions that are consuming significant resources (memory, CPU).

How much of a performance cost does Full-Text search service impose on the server and is this a recommended way of conserving resource consumption if the Service is not being used or needed by the application?

I haven't found much in Technet, KB or MSDN to address this topic.

Thanks,
Phil

If the FTS is not being used then you must disable it in order to get the system resources back on track.

One thing is sure that FTS has been optimized in SQL 2005 as compared to SQL 2000 version as it refers http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345119.aspx here. IMHO you need to disable if you are not using at all on the application.

Full-Text Population Fails for Specific Table

I have a SQL Server 2000 database with the latest service pack (3?). For some time, I've had full-text indexing working. Eventually, one of my full-text catalogs failed to populate. After a rebuild, I still couldn't populate it. I dropped it and recreated several catalogs. Eventually, I was able to get all of the original tables into a full-text catalog that populates except one. The offending table has less than 4000 rows in it. It is now in its own catalog which refuses to populate. I can't find any errors in the Application Log that correspond to this catalog population failing.

I expect that since the catalog used to populate, but will no longer populate, this must have something to do with the data added to the table recently.

Do these symptoms match any known issues? What should I do to debug this issue? I'm stuck.

Please help. Thank you.
