Determine if Service Pack 1 is installed on SQL 2005 ?

How can I determine if SP1 is installed for SQL Server 2005?

TIA

select @.@.version

Since this is the SSIS forum, I thought a SSIS specific method my be usefull. Since you don't have to install the DB engine, you may just have SSIS installed, so the normal @.@.VERSION does not work anymore. One method is to check the File Version of the SSIS Service, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\MsDtsSrvr.exe

Right-click the file and select Properties. On the Version tab check the File Version property. RTM shows 9.00.1399.00, SP1 shows 9.00.2047.00

Strictly speaking the MsDtsSrvr.exe may not always be updated with a service pack or patch, so the version may reflect an older level. An alternative method is to check the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Setup, values Version and PatchLevel give the service pack and hotfix level respectively. The RTM values are both 9.00.1399.06, and SP1 is 9.1.2047.00. Note the 9.1 rather than 9.0 for the SP1 version.

|||Actually "select @.@.version" works well in 2005.

Detect installed version?

Today I installed SQL Server 2005 developer edition on a test server. Afterwards I also installed the SP1. During the installation of SP1, the installation program said the server should be restarted afterwards, which I did.

Now when I look at the Add/Remove Programs dialog I have several items which mention SP1 on the SQL Server items.

But when I request the server properties in Managemnt Studio I see the version number 9.0.2047. Shouldn't this be 9.1.XXXX?

How can I be sure the SP1 is correcty insatlled?

If you look on the download page under the Quick Details, the version number is listed as 9.00.2047

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cb6c71ea-d649-47ff-9176-e7cac58fd4bc&displaylang=en

|||Isn't that the same version number as before installing the SP?

Is it possible to see which SP is installed inside the Management Studio?

Before SP1, the version is 9.0.1399

detached database disappears?

Hi All:
Running SQL2005 sp1 on Windows Server 2003 R2.
I have Management Studio installed locally on the server. I connected to the
local instance, backed up a database with no problems, and then detached the
database, and now the physical files are gone? not in the "data" folder, not
anywhere...I still have the backup file, but I'm a little freaked out by
this.
Has anyone experience this? I'm logged in as the administrator so I don't
think the files are hidden from view (all the other databases are in the
data folder)

No, I've never seen this. Are you sure you searched all of the drives,
since often we don't place user databases under the program files structure,
but rather on a separate disk altogether.

Yeah, there's only one drive/partition on the system, and I've searched
everywhere...it's g-o-n-e.
I performed a full dB backup as well as TLog backup before detaching it. I'm
having trouble restoring from the backup now.
First, I tried to restore by typing in the name of the dB in the "to
database" and attaching the backup file. The backup shows the name of the dB
in the backup set, but when I select the "full database backup" and click
OK, I get a strange error:

BUT the database name referenced in the error is NOT the database I'm trying
to restore!
So, I then created a new database with the same name as the one I detached,
and selected "restore" and went through the same process, and I then get a
different error:

OK, this is very bizarre...but when I clicked on the "options" in the
"restore database" window, all the settings seemed to be from a previous
restore I did months and months ago on a different database...I don't
understand why those settings would be preserved, when on the first panel
("general") I'm inputting completely different information and selecting a
completely different backup file, but I guess that's one of the mysteries of
the SQL2005.
The errors below were occuring because the MDF and LDF files existed for the
database specified in the options pane...not for the one I was trying to
restore. When I modified the settings in the "options" pane it worked
properly...oh well...at least I have the data back...I was worried the wrong
database was in the backup file.
Thanks for bearing with me!

Design Tool and Security roles

I have 2005 SP1 and after adding the new users to the Server in Studio, I go to the Design tool and create a new role, I add the user and check the following: process database and read definition.

I then go to Cell Data Tab and select Test Cube Secuirty; when asked if I want to deploy the cube I say "yes". after I deploy it I get the following message: "You are browing the cube using credential of the following roles: Sales" then I get the message below that

"Connection can not be made. Ensure the server is running" and

No connection could be made because the target server actively refused it.

I am connected to the cube so its running, remote connection are allowed, I already connected, just attempting to define and test other roles? Is there an issue with Test cube security? any suggestions?

Try to re-connect your Cube browser after deploying the solution.

It is a bit strang situation.

What worries me is that you say "adding the new users to the Server in Studio, I go to the Design tool and create a new role".

You should'nt go and manage your security in different places. If you to add uses in SQL Management Studio, next time you deploy your solution, Role memebership will get overwritten. Try to make all the changes in BI Dev Studio.

I would also recommend you upgrde your Analysis Services to SP2.

Edward,

Maybe I miscommunicated that, I do make them in the design tool, I keep all my roles in the BI tool but I started to try to test them there before I deploy them and I can't test them that was my error. When I go to CELL Data and select "test Cube Security" I get the error.

Thank you,

One litte trick to troubleshoot your problem.

Try deploying the solution from BI Dev Studio. Process it. Then go back to SQL Management Studio and try to browse your cube under different user or role to test your securtiy.

Hi Edward,

I don't know how to browse the cube under a different role in SQL Managment Studio.

I think we have moved onto a different direction, let me try to explain a little better.

All my roles actually work when the user accesses the cube the defect or error is I can't "test the role" in BI Development tool. If I select a role that I know actully works and attempt to do the test from I go to the "Cell Data" tab and click on Test Cube Security using a role that I know allows the user access I get this message " your are browing a cube using the following role: process and read" - connection can not be made insure the server is running. But if i check with the users in that role, all the users in that role can access the cube.

So my problem is not that the role is not allowing access, its that Test Cube Security gives me a bogus error, because that role can access and browse the cube.

Thank you,

Janet

Just wondering does the "test cube security" actually work in the BI tool for everyone but me? is anyone else having this problem?

thank you
