Invalid connection string attribute

We have a development team that is having intermittant problems with
connecting to a server. They are receiving the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server ... Error Message: Invalid
connection string attribute
for the following connection string:
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SNLSQLDBD01;Initial
Catalog=WINTER;Trusted_Connection=Yes;DateFormat=m dy
I'd appreciate any insight - as I said the error is intermittant (love
those). I can't find any examples of DateFormat being used in a SQLOLEDB
provider so I am wondering about that.
thanks
Peter
We now think that the message was misleading - there may be something in the
conection string that it didn't like (DateFormat=mdy ?) but was able to
cope with. The job ran fine when scheduled to start at a different time when
there was lower activity.

|||I couldn't find any reference in the docs on the provider
for the attribute DateFormat. I found some posts were a few
others were using it but they had the value in double quotes
and used formats such as "YYYY-MM-DD". DateFormat = mdy
looks more like a T-SQL thing. You may want to just execute
a set dateformat SQL statement if that's what you want to
set the format for the client entering datetime data.

Invalid attribute/option identifier - SQL Server 2000 SP2

From the Enterprise Manager on the server machine, we saw a disconnection to
a SQL Server Group. The SQL Server is running and the client worksations are
able to run applications against the databases. We got the following error,
Invalid attribute/option identifier when trying to register a new server.
Any help would be appricated. EliHi
If I were you, I would apply SQL Server SP3a or SP4 immediately to your
installation.
Ever heard of the virus "slammer"? You are seriously exposed.

Invalid attribute/option identifier

Hello all

I am getting this message when connecting to SQL Server through Enterprise Manager. However all my DSNs work without any problems.

================

A Connection could not be established to DBSERVER.

Reason: Invalid attribute/option identifier.

Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties (by right-clicking on the DBSERVER node) and try again.

================

I have reinstalled SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (ver 2.6) but no success.

Please help!MDAC 2.8 is out - try that.

Also try using NT authentiocation.|||Do not install MDAC by itself. Use SP3 to alter MDAC level.

invalid attribute/option identifier

Hi
I currently have a problem with registering a new server in my Enterprise
Manager on a new PC.

I need to connect to a MSSQL2K server on a windows 2003.
My current PC is on the same LAN as the server and has no problem
registering the server in Enterprise manager. This PC uses NT (about time I
change :-)

The new PC runs WIN2K. But this PC is on another LAN and has to access the
server through a firewall. Port 1433 is open in the firewall.
I use a Firewall-1 authentication agent to access the server.

I use SQL authentification to logon (sa account), I have checked that the
new clients network libraries are the same version as the servers.
In the client network Utility I have set up an alias with the server I want
to access.

The registration seems to access the SQL server, but comes out with an error
stating: "invalid attribute/option identifier"

When I search KB with this message, I get nothing. Did anyone in here
experience anything like this? Any pointers to help me move on would be
greatly appreciated.

best regards

There are a few hits on Google which suggest reinstalling MDAC and/or the
client tools, plus this post about a specific DLL:

Invalid attribute/identifier error

HI ,
My application is working fine with SQL Server 2000 ; but when I
change the back end to Oracle 9i it gives an error "Invalid
attribute/identifier" .
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks ,
Sujay
Hi
SQL Server and Oracle use different dialects of SQL so it is highly unlikely
that the application will work without significant change, even if you have
used ANSI standard SQL the features may not always be fully supported by
either system.
You do not say how far you the application has got, if it is not connecting
then the connection string may be incorrect, if you can track it down to a
specific statement, then run the query in SQL*Plus to see what happens.
