I installed Northwind sample database by running the install script within server management sudio express and the database and tables show up, but there are no records. Once executed, it says it was successful.
Am I missing something?
Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
Hello,
I was using a SQL Express database for some time now with no problems for a NUnit Test project. No, all of a sudden, I'm getting these problems:
DatabaseProviderTest.TestContainsUser : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'XXXXXX'.
For the SQLEXPRESS database, I checked and I am a user, and I gave myself every permission imaginable. The default database is master, so I don't know why I am getting this problem?
Any ideas? Thanks.
I am supposed to be documenting the SQL Express 2005 SP2 installation and connection to our application on Vista. I have installed and uninstalled the application several times in trying to create the connection and document the process. I thought I was done but now the database will not attach because it thinks the databasse is already attached. The database is not attached. I even uninstalled it again thinking something was left over.
Among the possibilities are that the database we are trying to attach is from SQL Server 2003 on a Server 2003. I tend not to think it is a server issue but have no reason to make that statement.
I tend to think it is a Vista issue because I have encountered and circumvented several. Our applications work fine on the full version of SQL. I can connect my Vista computer to the servers without issue. We have no Vista Servers other than the workstation I am trying to get SQL Express running on.
I am about out of ideas. Any suggestion will be tried at this point. Brian
Hi all,Does anyone know where I can find the Northwind database for SQL Server 2005 Express edition?Everywhere I look I get redirected to the AdventureWorks database, but it must be available because this article which is based on 2005 references it...http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/01/15/435498.aspxThanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello 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...

The solution appears to involve running a scipt of some sort, but where would that be run?

Hi,
I tried to install the Northwind database into SQl Server Express via the instnwnd.sql script using the command line:
osql -E -i instnwnd.sql
after a time out though I get this message:
"[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL
Server [2].
[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

I already granted access to the administrator account on my machine.
Anyone knows what I need to do more?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Long time ago, I downloaded the Northwind and pubs databases from the Microsoft website (I do not remember the details of it) and installed these two databases together into the SQL Server Management Studio Express of my PC (Microsoft Windows XP Pro). I tried to learn an example of using "User Instance" (source code was from a book) on the Northwind database located in my SQL Server Management Studio Express. I just find out that my Northwind database has the title only and no tables at all. If I click on the "+" in front of the "Northwind", I got the following error message:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
Failed to retrieve data for this request.(Microsoft SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum)
Additional information:
One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from backup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5173)..
Please help and tell me how I can repair this Northwind database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Scott Chang
P. S.
I deleted the name 'Northwind' in my SQL Server Management Studio Express, executed the "SQL2005DBScriptsInstnwind" program and I got the following error message: Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

Hi all,
In my VB 2005 Express, I created a Windowds Form application "shcDataSet" that used 1 SqlConnection, 1 SqlDataSet and 3 SqlDataAdapters associated with the Northwind Database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express. The SqlConnection had "User Instance" in the following ConnectionString: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataorthwnd.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True. The 3 SqlDataAdapters were for the Northwind files "Customers", "Orders" and "Order Details" used in the SQLDataSet "AllOrders" with a AllOrders.xsd file. I ran the "shcDataSet" applicatyion and it worked fine. After the execution of "shcDataSet", I checked the Northwind database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express and clicked on "+" in front of Northwind database-I did not see any file showed up and I got the following error message: Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum) Additional information: one or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:5173). If I executed the "shcDataSet" application again, I got a new error: SqlException was unhandled - Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'myPC##myName' ------->daCustomers.Fill(AllOrders11, "Customers"). I have 3 questions to ask: (1) How can I re-install the Northwind database in SQL Server Management Studio Express? (2) When I use the .Fill Method, do I have to tell the SQL Server Management Studio Express to load and/or unload the Northwind files "Customers", "Orders" and "Order Details"? (3) After I executed the "shcDataSet", should I Upload the 3 Northwind files back to the SQL Server Management Studio Express? Please help and advise. Thanks, Scott Chang

hi,
In the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition demo, I saw the thing like this:
con = new SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source = |DataDirectory|Northwind.sdf");
What does the |DataDirectory| means? Is it like marco or something? Does it work on windows?
I tried it on windows app, in debug window, it does not change to the real data directory.
Thanks

Hi. I am using VS 2005 and I want to create a database file (mdf) and have it on my server, but not have it attach to an instance of SQL server. Is this possible? The hosting I am using only allows for 1 SQL DB, and obviously doesn't allow you to attach instances of a DB. I would rather go with an mdf file that access, but not sure if this is possible. If anyone knows if it is and how to pull it off it would be GREAT!!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two programs which access sql server 2005. One was written in vb6 the other in vb8 (aka vb.net 2005).
vb6 works well with this connection string:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Database=MyDbName;Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName
vb8 (in vs2005) generated the following connection string which works well in the vb8 application:
Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName;AttachDbFilename='C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf';Integrated Security=True
Within their own programs each connection string works well. However, if I use one program and then the other (e.g., vb8 program then vb6), I get an error message:
Unable to open the physical file "C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot acces the file because it is being used by another process.)".
If I detach the database using SSMS, I can then access it with the other program. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation and not something I would want the end user to have to do.
Also, when using the vb6 connection string, SSMS lists the database in Object Explorer as: MyDbName. When using the vb8, the database is listed as C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf. BTW, the database is set for multi-user.
How can I get the two programs to place nice together?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but it seems the most appropriate. My "Teach yourself about .Net, Life, the Universe and Everything" book uses the Northwind database in Sql Server format. Is this available for download somewhere?

I used Query Analyser to De-tach a SQL 7 database and that worked fine. The database became 'invisible' in Enterprise Manager and the entry was removed from the sysdatabases in Master. The mdf and ldf file remain in the file system. However, when I ran the sp to Attach the database QA said successful but it does not show in Enterprise Manager or in sysdatabases in Master. I'm going to run through the procedure again and if problems I'll check the logs but has anyone else had difficulty with this. Also with attaching the db to a SQL2000 install I believe the logins on the SQL7 install are not brought over. In my case, the client is using trusted logins with their database application so their is probably not a lot to manually recreate on the SQL 2000 install but doees anyone have nay sample code/script that can give me an idea of what is required in the area of getting logins out of the Master of SQL7 and into SQL2000.
Great forum...
Have a great day,

If you re-attach a db to a different server, presumably you are shutting out your users (by them not having logins to the new server). If you are moving to a different domain I can only think that having the sa pwd and switching to "Mixed Authentication" would be the only way to get back in to start adding new logins/users, is that correct?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a stored procedure to list attached databases?
You can do this:
use Master
exec sp_helpfile
go
Which shows you the config files for the current DB.
What if you want to do a multiple sp_detach_db? If you could get a list of the attached DB's you could recursilvely or conditioinaly detach.
Hello all,
I'm using SQL 2005 Express edition. I'm currently connecting to the database file directrly (from ASP.NET) and that db file is not attached to the server.
My question is this:
What is the difference ? Will the performance improve if the db is attached and I connect to it throught the server ? I'm really not sure what the difference is.
Thanks
