Hi,
Im working in a proyect where i need to attach a mdf database to the client's SQL express instance. How can i accomplish during installation and without getting the user involved.
Any help will be greatly appretiated
If I create a database in SQL Express and then copy the MDF/LDF files and attach them to a machine running SQL Server 2005 Standard - will this new database have SQL Express limitations?
Are there good reasons not to do this and create the database in SQL Server Standard using scripts generated from the SQL Express instance instead?
Basically, I'm setting up a merge replication between Standard and SQL Express for a common database and I figure attaching a copy of the database created in SQL Express is the fastest way to get this started.
Hey all,
Cool place! Has anyone deployed SQL Express silently using one click and an attached a smart client DB from within the app ... would love to see some of the best practices or horror stories! Just kidding... :) I'm about to deploy a smart client using SQL Express and could use some tips from someone who has been there.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
Why do I leave my DB in Restoring State after attaching to the instance? Could not this fire a redo activity on Transaction Log?
Or, How does sql server undo all uncommitted transactions on active vlf during recovery?
I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.
The specific error displayed in the browser is:
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
In event viewer is this message:
Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
My connection string is this:
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Any suggestions about how I can correct this?
I am having trouble attaching a db to ms sql express 2005.I have the db in a folder deep down in my drive, within an asp.net website project. For some wierd reason i can't drill down more than two levels to get to the DB Anyone have any ideas why? Ilan

I have an mdf without an ldf. This was originally a sql 2000 db, since it was not working, I created a blank SQL Express DB and restored a backup over it.
I then detached and deleted the ldf as I used to do with MSDE.
The database will not attach on most machines (file access error for the ldf) even with attach_single_file_db
When I try to attach it on another machine of mine (with sp1 installed) it attaches fine. could this be something SP1 related?
I'm trying to attach a database to sql express with the following code from the management tool. I keep getting an error message. An someone explain what I'm doing wrong.

I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It
says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of
'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get
the same error from both of them.
I'm attempting this in a VMWare session setup for Windows 2K, Advanced
Server. I am trying to test my installation and setup
procedures. This is not a production setup, just install testing
and documentation. I have allocated only 272MB to the VMWare
session, which is why the system doesn't meet the recommended settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy Folks,
I have a site on WS2003, IIS 6 installed on c:.
I put the site in a folder on d:. Nothing else is on d: except the web site.
I added a new website in IIS and pointed to the site on d:.
Using the default connectionString in machine.config, I am unable to connect to ASPNETDB.MDF. Therefors, I can not log in.
In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I attached ASPNETDB.MDF. I then am able to log in.
Does ASPNETDB.MDF have to be manually attched like this when the web site is located on a drive othr than where IIS is installed and running?
Thanks

All,
I wanted to to detach a DB say MyDB from MSDE and wanted to attach it to SQL Express.
It could able to Detach the DB from MSDE,but attachment to SQL 2005 is failing. When I verified MSDE Instance through Managment studio "MyDB" wasnot there ; means it got detached.I couldnt find the DB in SQL 2005. When I tried manually through command prompt I was able to attach "MyDB" to SQL2005.
Please help me out!!
Here is the code which I have written.
if SUCCEEDED(hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_SQLDMOServer, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_ISQLDMOServer, (LPVOID*)&pSQLServer))
{
pSQLServer->SetLoginSecure (TRUE);
SQLDMO_LPCSTR DB = OLESTR("MyDB");
//Connect to MSDE First
if SUCCEEDED(hr = pSQLServer->Connect (szDbServer, szUserName, szPassword))
{
pSQLServer->DetachDB(DB,lpszResult); //Detach the DB
pSQLServer->DisConnect(); //Disconnect MSDE
LPBSTR lpszResult2 = NULL;
long lNumDB;
//Connect to SQL 2005
if SUCCEEDED(hr = pSQLServer->Connect (szSQLExpDbServer, szUserName, szPassword))
{
//LPCOLESTR lpo = A2COLE(sTemp);

pSQLServer->GetDatabaseCount (&lNumDB);
SQLDMO_LPCSTR files = OLESTR("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLData\MyDB.mdf,C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\MyDB_log.ldf");
pSQLServer->AttachDB(DB,files,lpszResult2); // Attach the DB to SQL 2005
pSQLServer->DisConnect(); // Disconnect SQL 2005}
Hi there,
I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....
My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-
sqlcmd.exe
template.ini
type into the command prompt.
Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?
Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.
Regards
Sam

Hi,
I've created a database in sql server 2005, but now I need to detach this database and attach it in sql express. Is this possible? I keep getting an error that my database is readonly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Hi SQL expert, I would like to ask regarding SQL Instance installation. I would like to know if I installed 2 different instances in my Server does performance would be an issue or it might cause for the server to slow down? The reason of splitting the 2 instances is because we want to separate our 2 system in two different instances instead of locating it in one instance.

I need to know if it is possible to create a Sql Server instance on top of an existing SQL Server 2k installation.
I am trying to mimic a production setup completely and the database is setup as an instance of a SQL server. By that I mean that we connect to the database by specifying <servername><instancename>.
I apologize if I have been ambiguous, or have used incorrect terminology. I am not a DBA and am trying to explain this the best way I know of.
Any help that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!!
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise onto Vista 64bit (while i have my UAC turned off)
After installing SQL Server, I setup SQL SP2 and then run up SQL Server Management Studio and attempted to connect to the localserver. The problem is that there appears to be no local server. No instance or Database Engine.
In addition, none of the services appear to have been installed, or at least I cannot see
them from services.msc and there has been no management snap-in added
to the services and applications area of the computer management tool
(Manage from the My Computer icon).
What am i doing wrong?
I have question about install both default instance and name instance on to one server. Do I need follow a specific order such as default instance first then name instance?
If my server already has two or more name instances, can I install one more default instance?
Thanks
I will be installing a second SQL 2005 instance on an existing SQL 2005 clustered installation. We've added a set of disks for the new instance. My question is, will the existing clustered instance need to be taken offline for the installation, or will the nodes need to be rebooted after installing the new instance?
I haven't been able to confirm this on MS website or by Googling.
I understand we need to ensure no one is logged in to the remote nodes during the install as well.
Thank you

Scenario 1:
Windows 2000 Server
SQL Server 2000 with default name installation.
When we change the Windows Server name the SQL Server jobs becomes non editable.
Scenario 2:
Does this situation still exists for the following configuration?
Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005.
Question 1: I am planning to move the SQL Server from 2000 to 2005 as described in scenario 1 to scenario 2. Does changing the server name have any impact on previously created jobs? Does the jobs becomes non editable.
Question 2: Is it possible to have two servers with same name on a network? If possible, please elaborate.
Thank you,
Smith
I have SQL Express 2005 SP2 installed in my Vista Home Premium. I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage .mdf.
When I click "Add..." to attach .mdf database, I have this prompt error message :
The server principal "My-PCMyName" is not able to access the database "model" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)
I have elevated the rights, "Run as administrator", of my SQL Server Management Studio Express, but still having problem.
I also encounter security error when detaching the existing .mdf :
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_detach_db', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Please advice. Thanks.
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,

Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?
Thanks in advance,

How is memory, (RAM) used per instance in SQL Express 2005? I am aware that SQL Express will use only 1 GB of RAM, but is that as a whole, or per instance?
thanks.

I have tried to install the SQL 2005 Server Express and get the following message:
Your operating system does not meet service pack level requiements for this SQL server release. Install the service pack.
Can anyone tell me what service pack it will be and where I can get it.
SQL Express 2014 was installed to support reporting for an application. I can connect to the server using the server name without any issue. When I run “select @@version”, I get SERVERNAMESQLEXPRESS, but I can’t connect to the server with SERVERNAMESQLEXPRESS. This is throwing off one of my script when trying to connect to the server.My script connects to the server using SERVERNAME for default instance or SERVERNAMEINSTANCENAME for named instance.
