Multivalue Parameter SQL Server 2005 SP1

Hello, I've installed SP1 for SQl Server 2005 and I noticed that the option "Select all" on a multi value parameter drop down (using web browser) is missing. Even if I can see it on VS 2005.....
Anyone can help me?
Thank you very much.
I rely on the 'Select All' capability as well. How can I get it back now that I've upgraded to SP1?|||

I finally found the answer on this. SP1 removes the 'Select All' capability previously applied when choosing the 'multi-value' option on a parameter list. Could not easily find this in the Release Notes.

I finally found it by looking through the updated version of the 'Books Online'. I must admit I understand the logic behind changing things here and the revised approach will make for more efficient queries (at the expense of recoding) - but it would be nice to know things prior to installing the SP - not after.

FYI - if, like me you develop on one system, and deploy to another, you can continue to develop on 2005/SP1, deploy to a 2005/non-SP1 system and things will work as before. Once you update the deployment target system to 2005/SP1 - the option is gone and you'll have to go back and do the parameter dataset recoding as outlined in the updated Books Online.

Where did you find this information in Books Online? Can you provide a link? I'd like to take a closer look, because we also use this feature (which is admittedly funky) extensively.

There is updated BOL contents available on MSDN which explains how to change SQL-based queries to simulate the "ALL" element: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155917.aspx (scroll to the section about "Adding an All Member to a Multivalue Parameter").

i believe there is also a hotfix available for this problem

Do you have a link to the hotfix?

Hello,

I faced the problem that on my development server <select all> was displaying and on the production it was not due to SP2 on development compared to SP1 on production.

SP2 was then loaded on the production server and rebooted the machine even then the <select all> cannot be seen. Would i need to reload the report or any futher fixes.

I know I am close to reaching a solution

Thanks

Multi-user environment

Hi,
I’m working on a project that has MSDE installed on a Server (Windows Small
Business Server 2003 Standard with Veritas Backup V.9.1) for the back-end
database and for the front-end an Access Project (.adp) which I plan to have
on each user's computer.
The Server Administrator is pushing for an update to SBS 2003 Premium with 5
licenses as the only solution. Personally I think MSDE would do the job…
There are few things I’m not so sure:
- How many users can access the server at the same time with MSDE?
- Is there a way to let the user know if a record is being used? Like
displaying a message before any changes are made?
- I’ve created a table for users with username, password and group they
belong to. Is there a way to integrate this with the MSDE Groups and
Permissions or Transact-SQL? So Users, passwords and Groups can be setup from
a form in the front-end.
I’m doing some research on Veritas and see if it would backup the Instance
of MSDE.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

it's not a matter of users but concurrent batches... a study by Microsoft
indicates a magic number of 25, but it really depends on the application
type/design, database type/design...
of course bad ADO serverside cursors design will be worse then excellent
clientside disconnected design code...
but actually there's no limit, just the buuilt-in Workloads Gevernor that
kicks in when more then 8 concurrent batches are in progress... you can have
a look at

fro further info about that governor...

actually not... you have to test saving and trap the relative exception...

I think you've better drop your user tables and rely on the standard SQL
Server users and roles...you are duplicating all and incurring in troubles..

Multiserver administratie on SQL2005

Hello,
does anyone has managed to get MultiServer jobs working on SQL2005.
I have installed 3 fresh win2003 servers with SP1. One is a DC, DHCP
server and DNS server. The two others are SQL2005, using the same
service account that has full administrative rights. I log on also as
administrator when I try to make one of the SQL2005 the master server.
During enlisting of the target server on the master server I get the
error that the target server could not logon on the master server
(altough its service account has full admin rights on the master server)
Any suggestions
Thanks a lot in advance

Do you mean to run a job on the source server that does the work on the
destination? Linked servers?

a master server that is downloaded on target servers and executed there.
You enable multiserver administration by right clicking on the SQL
Server agent and choosing the correct menu entry in All Tasks. This is a
feature already available on a SQL2000 (where it worked without a
problem), but it does not seems to work anymore in SQL2005 (at least I
can not get it working).

Multiple versions of SQL Server 2005 - What order to install?

I currently have three SQL Server instances installed on my notebook. One is v8, which I believe is used by an accounting application. The other two are as follows:-

SQL Server MSSMLBIZ

SQL Server SQLEXPRESS

The second one (SQLEXPRESS) fails to start generating the following error:-

The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).

Other services listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager are:-

SQL Server Integration Services - which runs apparently normally.

SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)

SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)

SQL Server Browser

The last thre of these are run under LocalSystem.

I have been trying to install the SQLServer SP2 to the SQLEXPRESS instance for some number of days now, but each time it runs, it fails to install.

I am beginning to wonder if there is a sequence of installation for each of the above instances that should be followed. Can anyone give me any suggestions, or answers to the above problems?

Thanks,

It may be that the SQL Server Express installation is not using a 'good' login account.

Go to [Control Panel], [Admin Tools], [Services]. Find the SQLExpress instance, and double-click, then select the [Log On] tab. Select 'Local System Account', and start the service.

If it does not start, you need to uninstall and then re-install SQL Express.

If it does start up. refer to these articles about properly setting up a service account.

You might try changing the problem service to start by using the local system...

Multiple sqlservr.exe processes load

Just installed SBS 2003, and I notice that there are 3
separate processes 'sqlservr.exe' loaded. Is this
normal? In addition to using SQL Server, I'm using Backup
Exec, which uses the same instance of SQL Server 2000.
Reason I ask this is that I'm having trouble making
Enterprise manager connections from workstations, so I'm
looking for cause of problems.It sounds like you have multiple instances of SQL Server running. Open
Control Panel -Administrative Tools - Services and see how many services
you have running that start with MSSQL. This will tell you how many
instances of SQL Server are running.
