(Mysteriously One Day) Studio Express Won't Connect To DB

Oct 12, 2007



So after 7 months of using SQL Express DB(on a dedicated server), sql management studio on two pc in my office to connect to said DB, and also connecting to DB with query analizer with no connection problems at all, I came into the office yesturday morning to find that the two computers with Studio could not connect to the DB?!?!?! Now, query analizer connects fine to the DB still, with the exact same ip/server instance and with windows authentication??? ive tried reloading studio, disabling firewall both on the client pc and on the server... the instance on the server is set to accept incoming connections (verified i guess by the fact that query analyzer can still connect to it)... i dont get it??? any suggestions????

Here is the error message from studio

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express

Sep 28, 2006

Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.

I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.

Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express

Mar 10, 2006

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

Feb 24, 2007

On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:



Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS

Additional Information:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.

Please help.

Can't Connect To LocalDB Using Visual Studio For Web Express 2012

Jan 27, 2013

I can't connect to LocalDB using Visual Studio for Web Express 2012 or SMSS 2012 in a Windows 8 environment. LocalDB is installed and some things do work, however. The basic error is the very common:

Cannot connect to (LocalDB)v11.0.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Error occurred during LocalDB instance startup: SQL Server process failed to start.

In a command window, I can query the state of LocalDB an "info" parameter:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110ToolsBinn>sqlLocalDB info
SportsStore
TestOfLoc
v11.0

The first two are tests created at the command line using sqlLocalDB.I have reinstalled and repaired LocalDB several times with no errors reported.

Cannot Connect To Report Server From Management Studio Express

Apr 7, 2008



hello there,

I appreciate any help on the following issue:

When I want to connect to a local report server on as shown in the "Reporting Services Tools" tutorial (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa337424.aspx), the SSMSE does not show the option "Reporting Services" in the "Server type" drop down list in the "Connect to server" dialog.

The tutorial says "In the Server type list, select Reporting Services. If Reporting Services is not on the list, it is not installed."

This must be wrong as the SSCM clearly shows an installed and running "SQL Server Reporting Service (...)".

Also if i call the webinterface (http://localhost/reports/) a page loads that says "SQL Server Reporting Services Home" with some options. And here something is not correct too. The "contents" tab of the report manager says "There are no items in Home."

I started to work on some basic tutorials using the sql server business development studio, and everything works fine. I can create reports, which derive data from the AdventureWorks db properly.

Can anyone tell me the adequate steps to fix the SSMSE connection problem and the webinterface view problem?




Here are some additional informations:

I use WinXP SP2, which makes the IIS version 5.1

SQL server is 2005 express with advanced features

and i installed the management toolkit, and the AdventureWorks db.


Installation history is as follows:

.NET framework 2.0 + VS2005 professional edition was installed

1. installed ss2005express+advanced features, on a named instance. worked fine. I did not install the SSMSE at this point, as i knew it is included in the toolkit too.
2. configured the reporting services through the "reporting services configuration" tool. worked fine.
3. installed the management tool kit. worked fine.
4. installed the AdventureWorks db. installed, but was not attached automaticaly to the database engine.
5. attached the AdventureWorks db to the database engine manually. worked fine, can be viewed and accessed properly.

So there I am. I have no clue what went wrong.

A last hint that makes me think is this: In the SSCM the sql server an the sql server reporting services have different instance ids (MSSQL.1 and MSSQL.2 respectively).

Thanks in advance for your solutions and hints, that is - for your time :-)

Cannot Connect To Sql Express Via ASP.NET After I Attached And Detached My Db To Sql Management Studio

Jun 6, 2006

Hello everybody,

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 website running on a windows server 2003 - sql express management studio installed. Today I had to make some changes in my database, add some columns, and so on...

So I put the app_offline.htm into the root of the web application, so the IIS unloaded the application domain, attached it in the sql management studio, made the changes I had to do and detached the db. Ok - then I removed the app_offline.html from the root of the application and looked at my internet explorer telling me that the user NT_network... cannot login...

What did I do wrong? I attached it, detached it, and at once something went wrong...

I tried everything, at least I copied the whole application to another directory and.... It worked fine again!

So, can anybody help me, I don`t know what I did wrong or rather how to make changes in my sql express for the future, not having trouble with any security issues...

regards

Simon

Cannot Connect Remotely To SQLExpress Via SQL Server Management Studio Express

Oct 31, 2007

 Hi all, I'm having a little trouble connecting to a SQLExpress instance on a remote domain using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I've read that by default the program is set up locally only, so have edited the Surface Area Configuration.  It only gives me the option to edit 'Services and Connections' on the localhost, but have edited the Remote Connections to use TCP/IP and Named Pipes. In the Management Studio, I enter the server name, and login credentials.  On the Connection Properties tab I changed the network protocol to TCP/IP though everytime I attempt to connect I get the following error message:  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich

SQL SERVER 2005 Issue, Cannot Connect Using Management Studio Express

Aug 1, 2007

I am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others

Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.


when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this

[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.


on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.

Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.

I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!

If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)


If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.

Thanks in advance

Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005

May 26, 2008

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,

"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)

Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.

I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.


Thanks,

CLN

P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

Cannot Connect To SQL Server With SQL Server Management Studio Express

Jan 2, 2008

I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio Express, and used it to connect remotely to SQL Server 2005 Express. The first connect worked fine. It was suggested to me to update ODBC drivers to connect to the server using Microsoft Access. In doing so, I found what I thought were Studio Express updates and tried to install them. From then on, I could no longer access the server. The error was a nebulous one that indicated that is could not find the server.

I verified that the the server was set up correctly by installing Studio Express on another machine, and it connected fine.

I uninstalled and reinstalled. When I ran it, I did not get the "first time use" routine, and still could not connect. I reinstalled MDAC with my Windows XP sp2 disk and reinstalling Studio Express, and still could not connect.

I started a thread - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2557611&siteid=1 - on SQL Server Express foram, and they verified that the server was set up correctly. They suggested that the client network protocol stack on your computer is broken. They suggested I post here to seek help in fixing it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Visual Studio Database File And SQL Server Management Studio Express Question

Mar 17, 2007

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project.  I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution.  However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program.  When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes.  I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again.   Any suggestions? ThanksJason

Mgt Studio Express Vs Mgt Studio Full Questions

Mar 14, 2007

I am currently using Management Studio Express to administer remote SQLServer databases I support as a DBA. I notice that I cannot "see" DTS packages on the remote server from Express, but when I login directly to the server (Term Services) and use the local Management Studio (Full?), that I CAN see the DTS packages.

1) What are the other differences between Management Studio Express and Management Studio "Full"?

2) Is it possible to aquire and install (upgrade) on my workstation, to Management Studio "Full" so that I can take advantage of the additional capabilities the "Express" version does not have, in order to manage my remote servers?

TIA,

Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005

Dec 12, 2006

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.

Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.

These are my values in my Java app web.xml -

<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.

And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Mysteriously Max Out On User Connections

Mar 1, 1999

Recently, my SQL Server has started getting:
"Unable to connect. The maxinum of '100' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure."
The server has to be rebooted to recover.

What's odd is that this occurs during the weekend when only about 5-8 connections are used by various system processes. I can't tell yet what is sucking up the connections.

We use SQL 6.5 sp4 on NT4.0 sp3 for DEC Alpha. We are also using SQL Mail, Seagate Backup (with SQL drivers) and some cgis that talk to the database.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

NEW COLUMN BEHAVES MYSTERIOUSLY

Apr 25, 2007

I select these columns:

TABLEONE: SEC
TABLETWO: B_DATE and E_DATE (they are numbers – not dates); RATE (is a number)

I first calculate the difference between E_DATE and B_DATE and between a chosen date and B_DATE
creating the new columns GG_CED_C and GG_MAT_C.
These new columns are calculated perfectly (they make the difference
between the two dates according to the 30/360 date count convention) and don’t give me any problems. They are all filled with numbers.
I’m able to use these new columns to make other calculations. For example I succeed in calculating
RATE/GG_CED_C* GG_MAT_C
but if I try to calculate
RATE/360*GG_MAT_C AS RATEO
the result is that in some records I have my new column RATEO correctly calculated, while in some other records there is no value in the column.

For example:

B_DATE E_DATE RATE GG_CED_C GG_MAT_C RATEO
20061229 20070630 3,995 180 90 0,99875
20061229 20070630 4,185 180 90

Dates are identical and so are GG_CED_C and GG_MAT_C: why don't
I have the result in the second record????

SELECT

SEC, B_DATE, E_DATE, RATE, GG_CED_C, GG_MAT_C,
RATE/ 360 * GG_MAT_C AS RATEO

FROM (
SEC, B_DATE, E_DATE, RATE, GG_CED_C, GG_MAT_C

(YEAR2 - YEAR1)*360 + (MONTH2 - MONTH1)*30 + (DAY2 - DAY1) AS GG_CED_C,
(YEARRIL - YEAR1)*360 + (MONTHRIL - MONTH1)*30 + (DAYRIL - DAY1) AS GG_MAT_C,
FROM (
SELECT
A.SEC, , B_DATE, E_DATE, RATE,
TRUNC(B_DATE/10000,0) AS YEAR1 ,
TRUNC(MOD(B_DATE,10000)/100,0) AS MONTH1 ,
CASE
WHEN MOD(B_DATE,1000)= 229 THEN 30
WHEN MOD(B_DATE,1000)= 228
AND MOD(TRUNC(B_DATE/10000,0),4) > 0 THEN 30
ELSE MIN(MOD(B_DATE,100),30)
END AS DAY1,
TRUNC(E_DATE/10000,0) AS YEAR2 ,
TRUNC(MOD(E_DATE,10000)/100,0) AS MONTH2 ,
CASE
WHEN MOD(E_DATE,1000)= 229 THEN 30
WHEN MOD(E_DATE,1000)= 228
AND MOD(TRUNC(E_DATE/10000,0),4) > 0 THEN 30
ELSE MIN(MOD(E_DATE,100),30)
END AS DAY2,
TRUNC(&DRIL/10000,0) AS YEARRIL ,
TRUNC(MOD(&DRIL,10000)/100,0) AS MONTHRIL ,
CASE
WHEN MOD(&DRIL,1000)= 229 THEN 30
WHEN MOD(&DRIL,1000)= 228
AND MOD(TRUNC(&DRIL/10000,0),4) > 0 THEN 30
ELSE MIN(MOD(&DRIL,100),30)
END AS DAYRIL,

FROM TABLEONE A, TABLETWO C

What's happening?
After what I've seen in this query I'm wondering if SQL is reliable
when it comes to calculations (after all its main duty is to query data and not to make calculations among them)(?????.

Please give an explanation to this mystery.

Thank you.

Records Getting Deleted Mysteriously..

Jul 20, 2005

I'm running a DB using MSDE (2000) that is interfaced by 2 differentades running on PCs with Access 2000 Runtime. One of the ADEs is apackage accounting system that is very solid and stable, the other isa custom application that I wrote (much less solid and stable). Thecustom app only deals with a select few tables in the database, andthe table in question is not one of those.With alarming regularity(daily), records are getting deleted out of aparticular table. I've set up a couple of dummy records in the tableand put a delete trigger on the table that creates record in a 'log'table that tells me the user and the time that the records aredeleted.The deletion (all records in the table) always occurs during businesshours (never over the weekend or at night) and the user responsiblevaries among 3 or 4 different users. 2 of those users don't even haverights to that table, so I'm really confused how those logins couldcause a delete on the table they don't have access to!??!As far as I can tell, this is only happening to this particular table( I hope!).Is there a way that I can get more information on the process ormachine or anything else that is behind the deletion?

Merge Replication Mysteriously Deleting Rows

When I add a new row to the subscriber it will replicate to the publisher as expected. However, the new row at the subscriber will then be deleted without explanation. The row will remain at the publisher though.

Does anyone know why it is doing this?

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???

Apr 16, 2007

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
 Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
 When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
 Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
 
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

How To Configure SQL Server Management Studio Express To Allow Doing Non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 From VB 2005 Express?

Mar 5, 2008

Hi all,

For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?

Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Nov 13, 2006

Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

Import Existing Database Into SQL SERVER EXPRESS Management Studio Express

Feb 18, 2008



Hi,

I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?

Regards,

Shuja.
