A Simple Question On The Connection String Format On Sql Server 2005!
Feb 22, 2006
Hi everyone!
I am new to visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005.
Up to now i was using visual studio 2003 and ms access.
When i wanted to create a web application that communicates with
an access database, i just had to take the *.mdb file and put it
into a specific folder inside my application's folder and then use
Server.MapPath on the connection string (so it can run on any pc).
Now, i want to do the same with sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005.
I use the connection string: "Server=MYSERVER;Initial
Catalog=test_db;Integrated Security=SSPI".
My problems are:
1) Can i just take the *.mdf file put it inside the App_Data folder like i did on access?
2) What should be the connection string so that my application can run on any pc (with sql server 2005)?
Hey I need to know what shall i specify in this connection string in visual studio web.confug file inorder to connect to ma registered server (locally) not directly to my dedicated server ....cuz i am facing network connection problems .... b4 i used to use this connection string : <add key="conn" value="data source=IP addresseel,1433;initial catalog=xxx;user id=username on the dedicated server;Password=password on the dedicated server;timeout=60"></add> So how can i change it ???? to be able to connect locally ???? Please Help ???! Thanks in advance Hiba
<connectionStrings> <add name="AppConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=".SQLEXPRESS";AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataAdventureWorks2000_Data.mdf";Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> I'm running Microsoft SQL server 2005. what is the error in the above code.
Hi, I have just uninstalled SQLEXPRESS and installed the 180 day trial SQL server 2005 enterprise edition. I have since started to have problems with my ASP.Net Configuration Tool., can not connect to the database. I think that the connection string in my machine.config file is incorrect, before installing I had,..: datasource=./SQLEXPRESS,.... So i decided to change that part to the following. Would anybody know what I have put in the datasource part for the SQL server 2005 enterprise edition? At the moment I tried SQLSERVER2005 but that is incorrect,.. <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=./SQLSERVER2005;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
does anyone kbnow the connection string used to connect to the database in sql server 2005 express? can someone one give me sample codes for it? thanks.
Hi, all. I am using VS.NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. I tried to use the following code to connect to a database named "AMSPROD" that I attached to SQL Server 2005 Express: dbConn = new OleDbConnection(Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True); dbConn.Open(); I got an error asking for provider with the above connection string, then I changed the conncection string to be like follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True I got error: No error message available, result code: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21) Then I changed the Provider to be like: Provider=SQLOLEDB, now I am getting the following error: Message: "Invalid authorization specification Invalid connection string attribute" Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" StackTrace: " at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal..ctor(OleDbConnectionString constr, OleDbConnection connection) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionFactory.CreateConnection(DbConnectionOptions options, Object poolGroupProviderInfo, DbConnectionPool pool, DbConnection owningObject) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.CreateNonPooledConnection(DbConnection owningConnection, DbConnectionPoolGroup poolGroup) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open() at ISESAMSData.DbConnections.MakeConnection() in C:\ISES\ISESCommon\ISESAMSData\DbConnections.cs:line 74" TargetSite: {Void .ctor(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionString, System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection)} Strange thing is, when I use the Connect To Database under Tool menu of VS.NET 2005, I could make the connection to this database. Then I copied this connection string to the code, the connection couln't be made. I feel very confused. I am wondering if I need to add ASP.NET user to SQLExpress. But I don't know how to do it? Can anyone please help me out! Many thanks!
I migrated my SQL Server 7 database to the new SQL Server 2005 that I installed on my PC. I have classic ASP programs on my PC that used to access the SQL Server 7 database. However, global.asa and these ASP programs can no longer connect to the new SS 2005 database.
I'm a student at Boise State university and we're using SQL Express as part of one of our projects for ASP.NET programming. I liked it and I'm trying to use it to power a wiki that I'll be hosting from my home internet connection. The wiki is compatible with MSSQL server, but it won't connect to SQL Express.
I suspect that the problem is in the connection string, mainly because the apps we're developing for class use a connection string like: <add name="AspNetForumConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=gaming.forum.nxnw;User ID=*********;Password=*********;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
and note the Data Source. The wiki I'm using is PHP based and uses ADObd to connect databases and has a driver for MSSQL, but not SQL Express (no surprise, really). I know just enough php to be dangerous to code and I've tried modifying the adodb-mssql.inc.php, but I can't seem to make the right change.
So, all that said, my question is: Is there a way to change what SQL Express 2005 will accept as a connection string? I've been looking, but I'm not even sure what the setting would be called.
I'M HAVING AN ISSUE, UNDERSTANDING, THE CONNECTION STRING. I WANT TO CONNECT TO AN INSTANCE OF SQLEXPRESS ON A REMOTE SERVER WITH A FIXED IP ADDRESS THE TCP PORT IS OPEN TO 1433 I OPENED THE PORT ON THE ROUTER AND THE WINDOWS 2003 FIREWALL
MY CODE IS AS FOLLOWS: S = "Provider=SQLNCLI;" S = S & "DATA SOURCE=44.66.777.888,1433SQLEXPRESS;" S = S & "INITIAL CATALOG=TESTDB;" S = S & "Persist Security Info=false;" S = S & "UID=TEST999;" S = S & "Pwd="TEST999888;" CnMgt.ConnectionString = S CnMgt.Open S
I'VE FOLLOWED THE STEPS OUTLINED IN ARTICLE 914277
CAN SOMEONE HELP? THANK YOU
PS. IF THE CLIENT IS LOCAL, I HAVE NO ISSUE OPENING THE DATABASE. I DO NEED TO OPEN THE DB FROM FROM CLIENTS.
I am trying to create a Datazen query against a Microsoft SharePoint List. The Data View successfully returns records from the list; however, it appears that the Query String parameter is entirely ignored. I want to use the query string to grab only records with a certain status value.
So far I have attempted specifying a View and Filters:
All return the complete set of records in the list. I do not see a single example or comment online other than the claim that SharePoint List sources are supported. How I can specify a Query String value that will filter the list records?
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
Dear, I am trying to connect from a vb.net application (VS 2005) to a sql server 2005 database located remotely,what is the connection string that I should use?I used the same one that I was using for connecting to sql 2000 but it is not working.Thanks.
I have SQL 2005 and I wanted to write a little program in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (VBEE) to carry out some processes. While away I built my user form, but when I got back I found that VBEE refuses to connect to SQL Server 2005 and is only configured to link to SQL Express.
The data source is set to .SQLEXPRESS in the advanced properties of the Add Connection form in the Data Source Configuration Wizard and you can not change it.
I read in MSDN ID 329721 that you can create a data layer that will allow you to use the wizards, but that is as far as it went and is above my programming skills.
So my only options are use VB.Net 2003 Standard edition, use connected mode or give up and it was only supposed to be a quick fix. Had anyone else had this same issue and developed a work around?
I'm a SQL n000b, and have just joined the forum 5 minutes ago seeking an answer to this problem that I've encountered. It seems that the way connection strings are handled in SQL 2005 have changed. This connection string used to work, but is now borked:
Has something explicitly changed in SQL 2005 that would break this <add key>? Does something need to be set server side in order to handle these connection strings now? I have no idea why this won't work anymore, I just know that it doesn't work.
I try to use this conn string but it is not working I think the problem is with the provider DataBaseSource = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Password=sa2006; User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=coupon; Data Source=YAELSQLEXPRESS;" I get error message Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005) [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
do you know which provider can I use? or maybe it is a sacurity problem
I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
I have date coming to one page as a string in the following format"May 4 2005 12:00AM" I need to query one of my tables using this date in combination of other nondate values. How can I convert this date into valid sql server datetime format before I query a database tables Please help
I have a table which stores date-of-birth in varchar 19861231(yyyymmdd). A view takes this data. I want to store this date as mmddyyyy in the view. How can we achieve this?
How can we identify the Date Format from a String in SQL Server.
I might get an input from external source as "MM-DD-YYYY" or "DD-MM-YYYY" or "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-DD-MM", all i have to do is return the same with Current Date in the same format as Input.
Hello, I had started my project with the express edition, then I switched to the pro one. The problem is that in my webconfig I still have .SQLEXPRESS and I don't know how to modify that to use the full version of Sql server. <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> When I look at the surface area manager I can see that I have 2 instances running : MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS.When starting Sql Server Management Studio I can connect to 2 servers: NEWDELL and NEWDELLSQLEXPRESS.And when I try to replace SQLEXPRESS by MSSQLSERVER in the connectionstring, then it doesn't connect.I remember having lost connection already when playing with all these tools, so I pay attention now ! That's why any help would be really appreciated ! Thank you.
I am trying to find a solution to get the result set to fetch a particular string format from a table in my database, which has a column of NVARCHAR data type
INSERT INTO #ActivityComments VALUES('This is the study code for Field Phase S14-04932-01') INSERT INTO #ActivityComments VALUES('Phase reporting has the study S15-04931-01 which is obselete') INSERT INTO #ActivityComments VALUES('Phase running study code S14-04932-02 is not valid')
I have a sql express .mdf that is located in c:appdirectorymydb.mdf whilst developing an application. During development my connection string uses the above path to connect to the db. e.g.
I have published the app using click once in visual studio.net which places the db in : C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameLocal SettingsApps2.0DataJN1WL1DJ.X7B ... 08ed2810aab2abData
When i am executing the application following a clickonce install, what should I use in my connection string for the path to the db ? or where can I find the above path (e.g. in the registry) so that I can provide it to the connection string ?
Alternatively, can I specify where the DB is going to be installed (via click once). e.g. in my app directory under program files ?
I have tried searching what seems like everywhere for a solution to this problem and as a last resort thought it worth posting the question.
Hi, I have installed on my laptop SQL server 2005 Developer edition, I can change ANY of the settings of the SQL server and OS.
I am writing code with a team using continuous integration where the connection string is the following: "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=Secret;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
is there a way (create an alias,rename server, other?) to make my local dev SQL server accept the connection string above, as at the moment I have to rename the connection string every time before checking in code and after downloading the latest version from the code repository.
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
I am working on a C# stored procedure for SQL 2005, and i've uncovered a couple questions.
First a description of the procedure:
I have a series of equations taking place to calculate a score based on activities in which the user participated in, that will give them an over all grade or rating. The calculations currently take place in the database, and I am moving this from T-SQL to C# CRL.
1. In order to connect the stored procedure to the database I use a SqlConnection and a SqlCommand to execute either dynamic sql or a stored procedure to return data to a data reader. Is there an easier way to connect to the database? In SSMS if i open up the query it knows what database i am connected to. Do I have to make a sql connection in C# stored Procedures?
2. I have multiple functions within the main C# Stored Procedure that I'm working on. This ends up requiring Multiple Active Recordsets. I must set this withing the connection string. Seeing as I'm using a named instance of SQL 2005, I now must put the userid, password, and server name into the code. Is there a more secure way to connect to SQL Server in a C# Stored procedure that allows MARS?
3. I encryped the connection string, and put it into the assembly, I wrote a decryption class, and in the procedure itself everytime I need to refrence the connection string, I call it, decrypt it, and pass it along. But my code to decrypt the connection string is in the compiled DLL, if the server was ever compromised the encrypted connection string and the key to decrypt it are sitting in the DLL. Is there a config file that I can use for C# Stored Procedures?
4. If I have to keep the connection string in the file, then I need to change that per environment. Example I have 3 test environments before production. So I would need to change the connection string for each file. That may be fine for one procedure, but what if I have 20, that will quickly get of hand?
5. Along the security lines, can the assembly for a C# Stored Procedure be called from outside the assembly? From a command prompt, or by a maliceous program? Or could it be called directly by a .NET application instead of going through a T-SQL Stored Procedure that is using WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER AS EXTERNAL NAME [PROJECTNAME].[CLASSNAME].[METHODNAME]
Hi I am trying to write the following connection string:public static SqlConnection connect() { SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=9.0.3042;database=Menu;Connection Lifetime=300"); return sqlConn; } I am trying to connect to a sql database using c# code. The code above is in a seperate file. The code below is the code used to talk to the database SqlConnection sqlConn = connection.connect(); sqlConn.Open(); SqlCommand menubar = new SqlCommand("Select * from Menu_table", sqlConn); SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter5 = new SqlDataAdapter(); dataAdapter5.SelectCommand = menubar; DataSet dataSet5 = new DataSet(); dataAdapter5.Fill(dataSet5); DataTable selcartest4 = dataSet5.Tables["table"]; However the connection is just timing out like I have the wrong address set for the connection on the first bit of code posted any heklp would be great cheers J
