I have a SQL 7.0 server holding our Agency's most critical
database. At my deskstop, I link to this database in
Access via ODBC drivers. I am linked to a specific table
which has disappeared from the server. It does not appear
in Enterprise Manager. I can find no "hidden" attributes
to reverse...the table is simply gone. However, I can use
the Query Analyser to get a count of records in this table
and it returns the correct number of records. Furthermore,
all data prior to 5/18/04 has also disappeared. Can anyone
help me find this table AND more importantly, help me
discover why the data disappeared. No, I have no backups
going back that far..... Thanks in advance.
I am guessing that the table is "owned" by some other user.
Using Query Analyzer
Connnect to the server
switch to the appropriate database
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_TYPE, TABLE_NAME FROM =
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables
SELECT crdate, name FROM sysobjects WHERE TYPE =3D 'u' ORDER BY crdate =
DESC, name
Regarding the dissapearing data, I am guessing that someone who thought =
they knew what they were doing (on or around 5/18/2004) created a new =
table (with a different owner) and dropped the old table. That is =
speculation, but based on the information that you have provided it =
sounds logical. The other possibility is that someone deleted the data =
within the table and changed the owner.
Whatever the case may be, you have some investigation to do!

someone who thought they knew what they were doing (on or
around 5/18/2004) created a new table (with a different
owner) and dropped the old table. That is speculation,
but based on the information that you have provided it
sounds logical. The other possibility is that someone
deleted the data within the table and changed the owner.

The first piece of sql displays the table owner, type (table or view), =and the name of the table.
The second piece of sql displays the creation date for the table as well =as the table name.
Knowing these pieces of information might help in your investigation to =find out what happened.
You mentioned that "most" are owned by dbo. How about the one table =that is causing problems? Is it owned by someone else?
You mentioned that it disappeared from the [tables] view within =Enterprise Manager. Hit the "views" node. Is your "table" listed =there? Jump out to Query Analyzer and perform exec sp_helptext YourTableNameGoesHere That will give you the text of the view (if there is a view with the =same name as the table). Perhaps the view is limiting the rows (making =it look like some data is missing).

Missing ODBC drivers - please help!!
Hi all
For some reason, my Excel / Access drivers have disappeared from the list of available data sources when running the Import wizard or when trying to create a dts package. They are installed on the machine as I can see them through the ODBC Administrator. I have googled extensively, found some posts relating to TimeSlips (not relevant as not installed), re-installing MDAC.
Having done all the relevant stuff (updating to latest MDAC), still not coming up. Installed SQL 2005 Management Studio thinking that may help. Still nothing.Can someone please give me some advice, APART FROM RE-INSTALLING OS.
How does Import wizard pickup the available drivers, any registry settings...? Currently running XP SP2 with all the latest updates.
Need to get data uploaded to customer site from Excel spreadsheet. So any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
TIA
Regan
Might try http://www.datadirect.com/download/index.ssp here to download.

|||Hi Satya
In the hope of NOT making things worse, I don't want to install third party stuff just yet. I will give it a go if no other advice is submitted. Thanks
Regan
|||Are there any recent chanages such as rollout of hotfix or service pack on this installation, as you say previously it used to be there.|||It was definitely working on the 13Nov. That was the last time I did an import into a sql db.
Automatic updates has been running and yes there have been a few. Tried a system restore, but for some reason the wizard only goes back to the 20th. Not sure why THAT is.
Anyway, did a restore to the 20th and the problem ist still there. My question is HOW does the import wizard enumerate the list for the data source drop down box. I am leading towards the following strategy:
1. A XP repair attempt which I am assuming will restore everything to installation default, but still keep my program files ...I hope!?
2. If no luck there then a complete re-install. This is an absolute last resort as it will involve installing and setting up my development environment, all vpn access connections and everything else and will be a complete pain not to mention the 1 to 2 days downtime (which I REALLY can't afford).
Maybe using the data direct driver is still an option. but that still doesn't fix my machine.
So ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regan
|||Appreciate your feedback in this case to understand the problem and workaround
.I believe it looks like some sort of MDAC tools mismatch causing this issue and relevant ODBC drivers .DLL might be missing, may try with DataDirect and they can be trusted as no issues it works me always.
I suggest you may try opening a case with MS PSS if this is causing a major downgrade to your production system, if not live with third party tool until you can get another machine to fix the problem.
Sorry, nothing much help but few options you might try out.
Good luck.|||
Did you ever get this fixed? I have a staff member that has the same problem and is running XP SP2 with no ODBC Drivers at all.

Missing ODBC Drivers
I'm trying to connect a NT 4.0 Workstation to a ODBC database (SQL 2000). Wh
en I use the the ODBC Data Administrator on the WS to create a new DSN there
are no ODBC drivers available. How to install the missing driver?
Thanks for help!
DirkYou can download MDAC from the support.microsoft.com and install it. Pick a
version 2.6 or greater. By default, a SQL SErver ODBC driver is not
istalled on Windows NT 4.0. If an application has not been installed to
install the driver it probably will not be on the system. Installing MDAC
will install the ODBC driver.
