bcp issue on sql 2000 cluster

  • I am getting the following error when i try to bcp data from one of the servers on a sql 2000 cluster:

    SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 14

    Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]Invalid connection.

    SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 14

    Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Invalid Instance()).

    NULL

    I am using the regular bcp command and not specifiying the server /instance name. The same command runs fine when i run it from another server that is not on a cluster.

    Why am i getting this error and how can i fix it?

     

    TIA

  • Sorry, I don't have an answer but I'm experiencing the exact same problem with a cluster environment.

    Did you ever find a solution?

  • What version of MDAC is on the server? You will need at least MDAC version 2.7 or above to be able to connect to a named instance of SQLServer.

  • Actually, I found the problem. I needed to add the -S switch as below.

    BCP "SELECT * FROM ##temp_ftp_bat" queryout "C:\FTP_Test\ftp_script.txt" -S databaseserver -T -c'

    Thanks for the reply.
