Enough digging in the windows registry. You can easily remove a Windows Service using a command line utility located in the %windir%\system32 called sc.exe


DESCRIPTION:
SC is a command line program used for communicating with the
NT Service Controller and services.
USAGE:
sc [command] [service name] ...
The option has the form "\\ServerName"
Further help on commands can be obtained by typing: "sc [command]"
Commands:
query-----------Queries the status for a service, or
enumerates the status for types of services.
queryex---------Queries the extended status for a service, or
enumerates the status for types of services.
start-----------Starts a service.
pause-----------Sends a PAUSE control request to a service.
interrogate-----Sends an INTERROGATE control request to a service.
continue--------Sends a CONTINUE control request to a service.
stop------------Sends a STOP request to a service.
config----------Changes the configuration of a service (persistant).
description-----Changes the description of a service.
failure---------Changes the actions taken by a service upon failure.
sidtype---------Changes the service SID type of a service.
qc--------------Queries the configuration information for a service.
qdescription----Queries the description for a service.
qfailure--------Queries the actions taken by a service upon failure.
qsidtype--------Queries the service SID type of a service.
delete----------Deletes a service (from the registry).
create----------Creates a service. (adds it to the registry).
control---------Sends a control to a service.
sdshow----------Displays a service's security descriptor.
sdset-----------Sets a service's security descriptor.
showsid---------Displays the service SID string corresponding to an arbitrary name.
GetDisplayName--Gets the DisplayName for a service.
GetKeyName------Gets the ServiceKeyName for a service.
EnumDepend------Enumerates Service Dependencies.
The following commands don't require a service name:
sc
boot------------(ok | bad) Indicates whether the last boot should
be saved as the last-known-good boot configuration
Lock------------Locks the Service Database
QueryLock-------Queries the LockStatus for the SCManager Database
EXAMPLE:
sc start MyService


In one of my application tests that used Hibernate  framework to abstract  database access, SQL Server JDBC Driver went into infinite loop trying to process a simple query on a view such as :

SELECT * FROM PARTITION_TABLE


It filled in seconds my 999999 Eclipse console buffer with junk messages such as:

Sep 15, 2009 5:20:45 PM com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSParser throwUnexpectedTokenException
SEVERE: ConnectionID:3: batch completion: Encountered unexpected unknown token (0x49)
Sep 15, 2009 5:20:45 PM com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSReader throwInvalidTDS
SEVERE: ConnectionID:3 got unexpected value in TDS response at offset:112


It was difficult to debug it. There was not much on the web on. I tried to switch drivers 2.0 to 1.2 different types and still got the same result. I also noticed that people were switching to an open source SQL Server JDBC Driver called – jTDS. The driver supports all SQL Server versions as well as XA or distributed transactions.

I also tried to simplify the query and the way I accessed the query via Hibernate. At the end I decided to try a simple JDBC access that gave me a meaningful error: “VARIANT is NOT SUPPORTED”. I updated my view to cast the problematic column into a NUMERIC and the problem was resolved.

Lesson: frameworks can be helpful and misleading. They filter information and might hide needed information. At the same time SQL Server error message can be interpreted as unexpected response but also as a sign that it was used incorrectly. Putting Hibernate out of the picture helped to identify the issue.

1. Used TSQLUnit for SQL Server – open source, licensed under the LGPL license. There a good tutorial in the SQLServerCentral. You can also use a cookbook for fast introduction.

2. Used  utPLSQL for Oracle testing. You can get up to speed here.

Good luck
