Error: Failed to generate a user instance...

Hello,

When trying to add a new SQL database to a VS 2005 project I get this error:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

Any ideas what is causing this error and how to fix it?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

This question has been discussed several times in this forum, you should do a search and read other discussions to see if they address your issue.

The first step in troubleshooting this is to look at the User Instance error log located at C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\<main instance name> (The default instance name is SQLEXPRESS) and see if it give any clues to the cause of the error.

Error: An error occurred due to no connection

This error is for Nov RTM running under "NETWORK SERVICE" account.

I created a data source "MyDataSource". It looks like:

In my package, I obtain a new connection from the data source (test connection succeeds). I use a data flow task. Inside the data flow task I have a flat file source and an Ole Db Destination. For configuring OleDbDestination, I can see in the drop-down a list of tables in my database. When I select the desired table and click "preview", I get:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio

Error at Data Flow Task - my task [OLE DB Destination [831]]: An error occurred due to no connection. A connection is required when requesting metadata.

Error: 1105, Severity: 17, State: 2

Hi ,

I have a SQL Server 2000 database on my C drive.

Over the weekend my C drive got full due to my transaction log files ballooning up.

At that point none of my users were able to log into their the VB application and enter data.

I freed up some disk space, and then the users were able to log in fine, except for a certain column variable(aggregate) values were negative.

I deattached the DBs and Ldf files and made copies of them on to a test envirnoment. Within the test environment, I ran SQL Query Analyzer with SQL statments that did give me the aggregate values as negative. This matched my VB application values aswell.

I ran

DBCC CHECKDB -- no errors

DBCC DBREINDEX -- no errors

Our programming vendor tells us the DBs are corrupt.

I thought I had backups but I don t. So now I m in a big bind. Help!!

Any suggestions ?

No.. i don't think your database is corrupted. the only thing is that it could not have able to commit the transaction done when there was no space in the desk.. if your statement are not concluded in BEGIN TRAN / COMMIT TRAN.. some data inconsistancy may occur... As such the database may not be corrupted as a whole. This is a common problem when there is no DBA or DBA background person around. You need to keep a track of all backups which u r taking and also TL and TempDb growth etc..

Error with connection

We are trying to move to a new server, due to problems with our current one.
Everything seems to be working, but we cannot seem to get the connection to
the SQL database. When we try to bring up the website that accesses the
database, we get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.
/incfiles/MainStoreFile_Real.asp, line 73
I have checked everything that I can think of (note- that I can think of),
but cannot get past this error. Does anyone have any ideas?
RickI think that
new DataBase don't take permission to access DB
Could you check your DataBase permission
<< DataBase Property--> permission >>
cheers.|||From the Web Server, ping the SQL Server.
That error indicates that SQL cannot be contacted.
And even if you can ping SQL, see if you can access the 1433 port from the

I had confirmed before that the DB permissions were the same as on the
working server, but have now also checked that the permissions for the actual
file are also the same. I had considered the password issue before, so had
already very carefully re-entered it.
I am not sure how to ping the SQL server, or check the port, but the
software that is accessing the server is on the same computer as SQL server
and the DB file, so I am not sure if either of these could be the issue-
please tell me if they could, and if so, how to check them. I am actually
getting this error in a webpage on the same computer, so I cannot imagine
that it is a firewall issue.
Does anyone have any further thoughts on this?
Rick|||Change your connectionstring to use the IP address of the sql server instead
of the server name.
"Server=127.0.0.1;Database=DBname;User
ID=username;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=False"
To find the ipaddress: go to start-run-cmd-ipconfig, if that works then you
have a DNS issue.
To find out whether 1433 is open you can use the port query tool (MS has one).

I had checked the settings before, but went back and did so again, just in
case I had missed something. The port showing is 1433.
The server has multiple public IP addresses on a single NIC, though. Would
it matter which was the main one, or which is the one used when setting up
the internet connection with the Internet Connection Wizard?
What seems odd is that we are doing the testing directly on the server that
is running SQL Server. We are not coming in from another computer via the
network or internet connection. Because of that, I would not expect it to
matter which of the IP addresses we used. Obviously it does, though.
