SQL Database Recovery

Hiii
You can edit the registry by setting this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicr osoftMicrosoft SQL Server
If this doesn't work then uninstall application and also delete SQL entry from the registry. Then install the application.
You can get this message if the installation of SQL server is not working. It is damaged. It can corrupt the mdf files so you can use SQL database recovery software to recover the corrupted mdf files.

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "XXXXXX" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".

I have the same problem.
I resolved with this:
Here is the text of the proc in case you ever need to do the same, create it in the master database:
create procedure sp_tables_info_rowset_64
@table_name sysname,
@table_schema sysname = null,
@table_type nvarchar(255) = null

Every company I know that puts out beta software for public evaluation
includes at least one statement in the setup process or readme et al that
says do not put this stuff on production systems. And yes, connecting
sharepoint 2010 beta to a production sql server is affecting a production
system in my book.

Getting SUM to return null

2009-12-28T19:00:15Z

Hi,
I know the normal behavior of SUM is to eliminate null values from the
set before doing the sum, but I have a case where I actually want the
result to be null if any of the input set is null.
Can I get Sql Server 2005 to do this? Or will I have to do something
else?
Thanks
Andy

Check DBCC showfilestats - this gives you Total Extents and Used
Extents . You would have to do some conversions into MB

Hi Tom,
According to BOL, the sys.dm_db_file_space_usage view is only applicable to
tempdb, so maybe it will not help Joachim?
(I haven't got a SQL2008 instance at hand so I can test it though.)

Hi Bob,
It might be helpfull if you could supply us with some error messages from
the Even Log and or SQL Log?
You just say that the SQL Server instance fail to start, but it will most
likely post some error messages somewhere.

While your example used parameterized queries, you never explained nor
emplasized what that was or why it was important, hence my continued
reference to SQL Injection attacks.

The patch is not beta - it is an MS supported hotfix. There is no reason to
think that this would harm the database.
SharePoint 2010 is beta but runs on a separate server and only connects to
the sql server for the purposes of creating and storing data - which is our
whole reason for owning a sql server. I do not believe that connecting

I would want to check the database files to be able to decide if a manual enlarging of the file should be done.
This could avoid the automatic enlarging, which can be cause of fragmenting or performance loss in critical periods.
The output should be about like this

shrink .... but cam you explain why would you want this report?
