Currently, I have two separate SQL Server instances that I am querying using pass-through SQL queries via a form in Microsoft Access.
The queries to SERVER1 work every time without fail. I'd say about 80% of the time the queries to SERVER2 don't work after Access has been closed and re-opened until I go in and "modify" the OBDC connection string and save the query. I have quotes around modify because if I edit one character in the string and re-add it and then save, it usually starts to work again (but not always), even though the string hasn't changed. And once it works it will continue to work until once again Access is closed.
It's usually one of three errors, here are two of them and the third error which I get less frequently is that the login is incorrect:
The OBDC connection string is as follows (for what it's worth I also tried ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and got the same results):
ODBC;Description=SERVER2 PASSTHROUGH;DRIVER=ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server;SERVER=SERVER2;UID=Test;PWD=Password;DATABASE=MyDB;LANGUAGE=us_english;ApplicationIntent=READONLY;
How do I go about solving this problem? Also, I am willing to provide any clarifying information.
Thanks!
Thanks to Alex for the reply.
Alex recommended going to SQLCMD Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection. I should have been more scientific but I used a shotgun approach... I set my shared memory to disabled, as well as increased the connection timeout and command timeouts.
This then produced a new error for me similar to the one here No process is on the other end of the pipe (SQL Server 2012).
As many of the comments suggested, my SQL server was set to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode, I changed it to Windows Authentication mode, and then back to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode, and restarted my SQL server.
And for now, my problem has not shown up through multiple MS Access restarts and a few PC restarts as well for good measure. Fingers crossed.

While trying to generate the diagram for a database (in SQL Server 2017), I am getting an error
Array out of Index
When I restart the application, it works fine for some time, and after few minutes, when I try to add a new table to the Diagram, it shows that same error again.
Is there any solution to avoid this problem?
This sounds like it's a bug with SSMS (v17.4 in my case).
Others have reported similar issues here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44914581/4768230.
Alternatively, others have suggested making sure you have schema declared for all your tables can possibly help - https://stackoverflow.com/a/44660066/4768230 (I haven't tried this though).
Below is an alternative answer that applies to a very specific situation.
The above answer will most likely solve your problem. However if you run SSMS as a different user than you are logged into Windows as you may get this error.
The workarounds are to either
Use your normal Windows to connect to the SQL Server (which may not be allowed depending on your situation)
User Remote Desktop to connect to a machine with your SQL Account.
Tested with:
Windows 7 64bit
SSMS 17.7
This situation might be related to the computer not being enabled to use Kerberos Double-Hop active directory but this statement is complete conjecture.
Working on an Excel VBA project that sends data to an SQL server via ADO. In my office I have no issues but the users are based at locations where they use VSAT connections. Thus, the ping time go for 1-2 ms to 800 ms for lag.
I want to test my code's ADO Connection and Command Timeouts to make sure I have them set appropriately. Anyone have any tried and true code snippets that increase the CommandTimeout and ConnectionTimeout after a failed .open or .execute command?
I have seen via Google Search that many web developers use Fiddler but that looks like it will only work for HTTP-type connections.
Anyone have an idea that doesn't involve me creating my own VPN (I have no server) or re-configuring the SQL server, I'm not the owner.
My users are receiving the query timeout error when they try to insert data to SQL server 2008 through an Access 2010 form. The error msg specifically occurs when users move off the record having keyed in all data fields.
When I look into Activity Monitor in SQL Server I can see many blocked SPIDs throughout the day but they do soon clear up. I don't know why this happens and the only solution seems to be restarting the SSMS Services. I don't think its a memory issue as the server has got 8GB which is plenty. The SQL DB is only 400 MB, but there are many transactions taking place across 2 sites.
I do notice that the SSMS memory consumption is around 3.5GB at the time of this error. After the restart this goes down of course.
Where do I start looking? is it network related or is it a blocked process due to local VBA code which could be moved to SQL Server? or is it cache related?
I'm no DBA so not sure of how to go about the search.
Thanks
I'm trying to connect my hosting providers SQL Server with LinqPad. It works fine using SSMS, but times out when trying to fetch the database list. I am successfully authenticated (via the test)... [ and if i change the credentials, it fails]...
Is there a way to extend the timeout??
Thanks - Kevin
The timeout for fetching schema information in LINQPad is 4 minutes, so something is going badly wrong if it times out! On the dialog, did you click 'Display all databases in TreeView' or did you connect to specific database?
One solution that our DBA mentioned is to set the database property "Auto Close" to false.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188124.aspx
We did this on our development database server and it worked fine for linqpad with a few hundred databases.
I have been getting these intermittent ColdFusion Database connection reset errors and was wondering if anyone had experience with this and had a particular solution that worked?
Here is the error:
Error Executing Database Query.[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]A problem occurred when attempting to contact the server (Server returned: Connection reset). Please ensure that the server parameters passed to the driver are correct and that the server is running. Also ensure that the maximum number of connections have not been exceeded for this server.
This doesn't happen with any particular query, the code breaks in different queries every time, returning a SQLState error 08s01. These query's logic are fine, no logic errors etc. I checked the network logs and there were no database server connection refusals at the time of the error. Once the first error occurs, it keeps happening for no more than a minute or so at random times of the day, every few days. I've googled this thing and so far anyone that has had this issue was only on CF6 or 7, which the fixes coldFusion put out are only for CF6 or 7.
Server configuration wise:
The ColdFusion server is version 8
The database server is SQL Server
2005 Standard
The database connections allowed
setting is set to unlimited on both
SQL Server and ColdFusion
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
I'd personally try to update JDBC driver ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/ ) and add Validation Query if not already existing. I used once tool which was constantly checking TCP connections between servers, detecting even milisecond gap, check this tool http://www.colasoft.com/ping_tool/ .
Have you already resolved the issue?
I'm having the same problem on CF8 VPS, and after doing some research online I found this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk#houseoffusion.com/msg302264.html
It says it's related to some features on the network card and something on the SP2 for Win2k3 that messes it up. Don't know if that applies to you but just in case.
