i got an error just like that.What must i do?
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)
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.

So i get this version of sqlexpress up and running and i copy all my databases over on to it. Redo my Logins for te server and then add the the DSN to ODBC admin console.
And still no good >:_( this is the error i get:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database "publicSite" requested by the login. The login failed.
So i know im doing somthing really stupid.
So heres what i got:
ASP connection srting looks like this:
<%
// FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
// Type="ADO"
// DesigntimeType="ADO"
// HTTP="true"
// Catalog=""
// Schema=""
var MM_PublicSiteJS_STRING = "dsn=publicUSR;uid=publicUSR;pwd=**********"
%>
now it ther a special ODBC driver used for SQLExpress or can i use a standard SQL driver?
any help would be much apriciated.
Hi,
I write a .NET Windows Form that connect to SQLExpress datafile. After updating data, I want to zip the .mdf file and send email. However, I got an exeption that the .mdf file is used by other thread so I cant zip. Even I try to close all connection, I still cant zip.
Is there any way to detach/unlock .mdf file connecting by SQLExpress?
MA.
I see this question a lot, so I thought I would go ahead and post the answer here.
Q: How many connections does SQL Server Express support?
A: Unlike MSDE, SQL Server Express does not limit connections. SQL Server Express supports:
1 gb RAM (note the machine can have more memory, but 1gb will be used by SQL Express)
1 processor (again, the machine can have more, but just 1 proc will be used by SQL Express)
4 gb database size (note, there can be multiple databases, but none of them individually can be more than 4 gb)
Hope this helps,
Thanks< MJ
0) I've build on my pc a file MDF...i've used it and it's all right.

1) The sqlexpress is installad on pc with XP sp2 (as server)
2) Tcp Ip is enabled.
3) Firewall is not running
4) The folder where is located the Mdf file si public without restrictions
5) The autentication is performed via Windows.
6) The service sqlbrowser is enable and running at start.

What's the problem?
I installed on a w2k/sp4 local machine SQLEXPRESS.
I copied the database also to the localmachine
With the sqlexpressmanager I attached the database. Everythinks looks fine.
I quit the manager, but then I start the manager again. Now the manager can't find the sqlserver.
Timeout Expired is the message.
Why is that? I installed SQLEDXPRESS on a lot of machines. No problems. But those machine the manager lost the connection after the first time.
thanks again.

I am having difficulty converting my CGI(perl module) connection from mySQL to SQLexpress. Does anyone know what the connection string should look like?
Listed here is my current connection string. I'm trying to get this done this week. Please email me if you have an answer in addition to posting.
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$var{database};host=$var{server}","$var{root_username}", "$var{root_password}",{'RaiseError' => 0, 'PrintError' => 0});
Much appreciated,

Hi all,
I followed an excellent tutorial (from Microsoft) about creating and using a SQLExpress db table internal to your website and the site I created works just fine - locally. When I publish to my web host provider I get this error:
[SqlException (0x80131904): 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)]
My web host provider supports .NET 2.0 but doesn't support MS SQL Server. But that should matter - right? Because I'm putting the db instance right in the website?
I did a search and followed some of the advice:
I went into the SQL Server Surface Area Config Mgr and set SQLExpress for local and remote connections and rebooted/republished. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed as a separate entity (if that makes a difference).
I still get the above error. This is the connection string from the web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Customers.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
And this is the call from the markup:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customer]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
Does any know the fix for this?
Thanking you in advance

I am running SqlExpress on a Vista machine as a server and accessing it from machines running XP. I could not connect with the Vista server until I turned off the firewall, despite creating exceptions for both the sqlexpress and sqlbrowser services in the firewall setup. Obviously, I don't want to run on a wireless network without a firewall for any length of time. What else to I need to enable in order to run with my firewall up? In SMSS, I could 'see' the Vista server on the network with the firewall up, but I could not 'see' the SERVERSQLEXPRESS service or connect to it .
thanks,
Steve
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am creating an SQL database with a web enabled front end. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to create the database objects and an ASP.NET web page created in Visual Studio for the front end. My problem is centered around the two server instances which come with Visual Studio (MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS). The database objects are being created on MSSQLSERVER by Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. However, in a Visual Studio ASP.NET web page, when I create a new conection string using the menu functionality, in the SQLDATASOURCE object or in the server explorer, only (My Computer Name)SQLEXPRESS shows up as an option. I have tried typing (My Computer Name)MSSQLSERVER in but the database list just comes up blank. I know that MSSQLSERVER exists because I have one active connection string to it created by a friend. They had to juggle a lot of things to make MSSQLSERVER appear and since I was just getting started then it went over my head. Whatever they did was temporary though and I havn't been able to repeat it to add new connection strings. To eliminate some of the obvious things in other posts:
*MSSQLSERVER is Started in the Services Screen
*In the configuration manager MSSQLSERVER has shared memory enabled
*On the advice of one post or proceedure I enabled TCP/IP and restarted the service (I think this is actually for remote connections everything I am doing is on one PC)
What I really want is to have things permanently set up so MSSQLSERVER always shows up as an option when creating a connection string in Visual Studio. If this means getting rid of SQLEXPRESS I won't shed too many tears.
As you have noticed everything in this is centered around Visual Studio's menu functionality. I am currently make thee code paradigm shifts.
Form -> ASP.NET
VB6 -> VB .method
ADO -> SQL
I have created some pages in ASP.NET and have started creating objects using source instead of designer.
I have automated some of the functionality on those pages using VB .method programing
While I have created some simple SQL select and bulk insert statements my SQL is still pretty weak and I haven't learned connection strings or driving changes back to the database using Transact-SQL
I am using a virtual dedicated server to host sqlexpress at a remote site. I can't get the connection from MS SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect over the Internet. I only have the box IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and have tried various forms of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxsqlexpress as the server name.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks, John

Hello - where I can find the tools to view/see open connections, transactions not closed ... etc of a MS Sqlexpress database?
Thanks a lot - FOX
Hi,
I have an ASPNETDB.MDF (asp.net membership/profile db) that was generated for SQL Express, it has user information I need to keep.
I have SQLExpress and full SQL Server 2005 running on the server. I want to remove SQL Express from the server.
So can I simply do a backup of the SQL Express membership db and restore it to full SQL and change the connection string in my app or
do i need to run the membership wizard on full sql and then do the backup / restore?
Or is there another way.
Thanks
I can't start SQLEXPRESS.
The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".
Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?

I just installed SQL express couple of days ago.
Then I tried using SQL Management Express Studio CTP. I select
SQL Authetication, key in the correct password but
it says "A connection was succesfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error:0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe). (Microsoft Sql Error: 233)
When i tried windows authetication, it say cannot initialise SSPI package.
Hi All,
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Can anybody help me out .

I have installed SQL Express 2005 on a machine and I am trying to run a script file via SQLCMD from my application. I keep getting an error stating that SQLCMD can not connect to the server. Remote connections are enabled for both tcp/ip and named pipes. Sql Browser Service is enabled and running.
I am calling the script like so
sqlcmd -E -S TESTPLATFORMSQLEXPRESS -i "C:Program FilesADMS_TrialCREATE_DATABASE.sql" -o C:Error.txt
This is the error message
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I can open Management studio and run the script and it works perfectly so I don't really know what is going on. Thanks for any help.

If so how."
I'm rewriting an old application that has a MSDE database as backend. I'm estimating if upgrade the old db to SQL2005 or SQL2005 Express edition, so I'm trying to migrate it to different istances running on different servers. In order to manage servers, I'm using MSQL Management Studio of the SQL2005 evaluation edition. As first step, I have detached the MSDE .mdf file, and attached it to SQL Express server.
QUESTION 1: Is this the right procedure to migrate the db on SQL Express?
QUESTION 2: All seems to work, but in MSQL Management Studio if I point on a stored procedure of the migrated db in SQL Express and right-click, in the context menu doesn't appear the item: 'Execute stored procedure...'. This item instead appears also if I connect to the old MSDE database, and it's very nice during testing....
QUESTION 3: How to grant access in SQL Express server to the old users of the migrated db?
Thanks in advance.

Good day, my apologies if thes question has been asked before, but I can't find anything with the exact same situation...
Just managed to successfully install SQL Express 2005 (in place of MSDE2000), kept the same database, which upgraded without a problem. I can connect to my local SQL server, but only if I use my full PC name, I get 'SQL server not found out access denied' and 'Specified SQL server not found' whenever I try with . or (local) or localhost.
My main issue is that I have a million and one batch files for all the features I use most to simplify my work, which now will not run as they all specify (local) instead of my PC name. Looking on the MS Support pages, I've tried various different options, none of which seem to make any difference at all.
Here is my current setup:
SQL Express 2005 - version 9.00.2047.00 - (installed with 'Default Instance', not 'Instance: SQLExpress')
Win XP Pro SP3 - version 3264
All of the following are enabled in 'SQL Server Config Manager' - Protocols for MSSQLSERVER:
Shared Memory
Named Pipes
TCP/IP
VIA
I also attempted to install the latest MDAC (version 2.8), and it tells me these components are already part of SP2.
Could anybody tell me if I am missing something, or need to install / update anything further? I am at a dead end with this now.
Thanks in advance,
Andre Greeff
Hi
I have started to create a databse using SQL Server Management Studio Express, just a few tables, one with data. I now want to creat a some windows forms to populate the tables. However when I try to use the Add New Data Source wizard, I get an error when I try to create the connection string, but I have managed to connect to a copy of AdventureWorks located in the same parent directory.
Error is :
Unable to open the physical file "...". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
An attemp to attach an auto-named database for file ... failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
As I can connect to AdventureWorks, I presume Windows thinks the file is open, but I have no idea why, how to check, or how to close it.
TIA

I installed VSTS 2005 for Developers along with SQL Express and SQL Management Studio. I can't find any reference to Reporting projects anywhere. Where should that come from?
I tried installing SQL components from the SQL 2005 Standard Edition install but got a message that what I was trying to install was older than what was already installed....
Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?
When trying to attach or detach a database, add or remove a user SSMSEE is always executing. The progress bar never stops moving nor does it display any type of progress. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SSMSEE with no luck and restarted the SQL server many, many times. I've been searching for a solution with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a solution? I have circumvented this by attaching a DB with SQLCMD but I am trying to instruct another user on some of these functions with SSMSEE.
Thanks!
