Named pipes question.

Is it possible to configure named pipes only on one NIC and tcpip on the
other' (SQL 2000 sp3)
PierreNot in SQL 2000. You cannot protocol 'affinitize' NIC's
(Hopefully in the next version)

Yes, but only with a (software) firewall.
Named pipes use SMB, TCP/IP uses port 1433 (default).
You cannot currently separate the protocols by any binding or SQL setup that I know of.

Mysterious SQL Server Dropping Tables

We had just setup MS SQL 2000 (SP3), running on Windows 2000 (SP4). Both SQL
and Windows2000 Server has been patched with all security updates as per
Microsoft websites.
On the server PC, it is also running Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition 7.6
with the latest AV definition. I've also lost count of how many times we
scan the server for virus but none were found.
This is a newly setup server but we're observing the tables in the SQL
server dropping out of no apparent reason. A check on the actual data
directory we found that the database .LDF is missing and the EM marks it as
'suspect'.
What kind of information should I provide in order to further trouble shoot
this problem?
Since this is a test server we're only running it on 2 x 80GB IDE harddisk
and as far as I can tell there is no bad sectors found. Has anyone encounter
anything of such? Please help. TQ.

The tables, or the log file? Sounds like both are happening. Once you get
the system back where it should be, you might want to use a program like
filemon (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml) to see what
process is accessing the LDF file.

Both, but the tables are the ones dropping/missing first.
Does drive caching has anything to do with it? The Windows Event Log
complaints that drive cache is disabled. I've temporary enable it and still
checking the results. But since no one has had this problem before, I'm not
certain of whether this is the solution or what is causing the tables to
drop or go missing.

I've downloaded the utility but could not find any process out of the
extraordinary.

mysterious restore

I am a support rep for an app running on SQL Server 7 sp3.
The customer had a table mysteriously restored along with the dependencies [sp.s, indexes, etc] for that table.
Is there any logging in sql server that will show when tables or objects have been dropped, recreated or restored?
thanksLook up the msdb..restorehistory table.

Mysterious Access Denied Error

Yesterday afternoon I lost access to my local MSDE 2000 sp3(a?)
instance. Usinig NT or SQL authentication I get an 'access denied'
error when I try to connect. This happened suddenly with no changes
to the server on my part. I've tinkered with the Client Network
Utility settings, from Multiprotocol only, every combination of Multi
protocol, TCP/IP, and named pipes. I've tried connecting with my
network machine name, using (local), and using my IP address (both
127.0.0.1 and my network IP). I've tried connecting from Query
Analyzer on other computers. Of course I've rebooted as well, all to
no avail.

I know that there were network changes being made, but my domain login
(which I normally use to connec to my SQL Server as a sysadmin) is
still in the local administrators group on my machine and I haven't
noticed any problems accessing anything else.

Any ideas?MarcosECasa@.yahoo.com (Marcos) wrote in message news:<cf4137bb.0402100934.3c1cc6de@.posting.google.com>...

At the risk of asking a silly question, have you checked that the
service is actually running, using NET START for example? If the
service is stopped, then you get the error "SQL Server does not exist
or access denied", whereas if your login is incorrect (security
issue), you would normally get a "Login failed" error instead.

my SQL Server is too slow

Hi, All
recently, after I restored production DB (SQL7.0 +sp3)
backup file to my develope DB, my computer (develope DB --
desktop version)is too slow when I access develope DB. It
was fast before and it is slow right now. I didn't change
anything to my computer or server. The SQL server is still
fast, only my computer run the desktop develope DB is
slow. my pc is p4 2.4Ghz and 256 RM 120GB hard drive. I
checked my pc using Norton AntiVirus and non virus found.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks and have a good one
HawkMost likely the 120GB Hard Drive has absolutely no comparison of performance
against the server. Server could have RAID or high cache disk drives. Also,
that may be a small amount of RAM for background services running locally to
your workstation.

check % Processor Time (Processor), % Disc Time (PhysicalDisc), and %
Committed Bytes In Use (Memory) while you're running your queries. I think
what you'll see is % Disc Time very close to 100, % Processor Time very low,
and % Committed Bytes In Use very high.

I;m sorry. What I want to say is my desktop version SQL
7.0 server is slow. It was fast. right now, it was slow
even i click any item from EM, of couse, the query is slow
too. My desltop version SQL server is develope DB and only
me can access it, none other uses. I try t0 rebuild the
index and to see what happen
my production DB on the win2000 server is still fast. not
problem at all
thanks!
