Hi all,
Since I activated the aspnet_regsql.exe tool, it has been a bad day - here's why:
Originally I installed VS2005 Pro (without Sql Express) and then Sql Server 2005 Dev. I then started to learn asp.net from the ".NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 Web-Based client Development" Training kit from Micorsoft. I have compiled and run every exercise up till Chapter 9 lesson 2 exercise 1, without the need to start the Sql Server 2005. In exercise 2 I should learn about asp.net profilers and the exercise showed me to use the aspnet_regsql.exe tool if I was using Sql Server 2005 - and so I did, and exercise 2 worked fine after a couple of adjustment in the connection string, because it was configured to use the SQLEXPRESS server by default.
However - in Chapter 9 lesson 3, I should not use asp.net providers, so I shut down the Sql Server 2005, because I don't have that much memory to spend. Now the trouble comes - every website I have made afterwards require that the Sql Server 2005 is running or else I get some errors.
How can I get back to the way it was before I activated the aspnet_regsql.exe, so I don't have to have the Sql Server 2005 running every time I want to make a website using aspx?
Thanks in advance
For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.
Thank you!

Hi there,
I am trying to configure an SSIS connection manager to recognise a SQL Server 6.5 database but I can't get it to work. Testing the connection works but I am unable to select a database from the drop down list.
Which OLE DB provider should I use to access a SQL Server 6.5 database?!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've created a SQL Server Express Database that is used by an ASP.NET 2.0 application (developed using VWD Express).
I would like to be able to:
Make changes to stored procedures, views and table structures while developing/testing ASP.NET application - which, ideally, needs a SQL Server Manager Studio Express connection and
Upload my application and data to a database on a network - which, ideally, needs a direct Database.mdf connection.
I know that I need to change my connection string - and am able to achieve that with ease - but I'm not sure what the best way of switching between the two ways of attaching on the database side. I keep getting logon type problems etc.
Thanks very much.

I have had visual C# Express edition for a while, and had successfully used SQL Server 2005 express successfully since it was first released. I downloaded the new version with advanced services, created a new instance, and tried to use it. VC# wont connect cause it is still trying to connect to my old instance which no longer exists. Could someone please tell me how to make my new instance the one to log on to?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config.
Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in.
Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
Many thanks

I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled. Is this difference caused by some settings?

SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF

Hi,
I have Windows server 2003 SR2 and wich to install on it OLE DB Providers. I mainly have an application that needs OLE DB provider for Excel and Dbase to access read excel and dbase Files on disk. I have searched all over the web for a download link. I installed MDAC on the server and restarted bu still no luck. My ODBC applet in the control panel only shows the SQL native drivers.
PS: Windows is 64 bit. I believe this might be why. But what can I do in this situation?
please help
Thanks
I have installed the latest 64-bit Oracle10g Release 2 ODAC for Windows x64 (10.2.0) client software in a 64 bit server but I am having the following issues:
After I installed the software and I try to create a new connection in SSIS using the OLE DB or .NET provider, the providers do not show as an option in the connections.
I believe I am missing one step in registering the driver in the server but I do not known where, Could it be a permissions issue?
In addition, I tested the ODBC connection and I had to declare the path for the Oracle path in the environment variable manually since it was not set during the installation. ODBC connections are working correctly.
Does anybody knows what steps I am missing?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am planning on using SSCE in a desktop embedded scenario. In considering deployment options, in addition to the SSCE runtime, I would also need to bundle either MDAC (OLEDB) or .NET Framework 2.0 (ADO.NET).
From the installer footprint standpoint, it's a no-brainer since MDAC is much smaller in size than .NET Framework. However, an article from the MSDN library (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719514(VS.71).aspx) talks about the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server and how it performs much better than the OLEDB counterpart.
So my question is, how much of a performance difference is there between using the OLEDB provider vs. the ADO.NET provider? I am primarily concerned with insert speed.
Also, it does seem a little silly when you need a 22.4Mb installer (.NET Framework) for a provider to a database that is under 2Mb in size.

Hi all
I have a problem with a user who had a sql express db on a laptop, basically they have a column(street) in a table(houses) which needs its length changing from Varchar(10) to a varchar(15).
Does anyone know how to do this via a script of some kind, the msde DB does not have query analyser but can you do it via the comand prompt?
Cheers in advance!

I've not been able to test this yet in full VS2005 (MS is screwed up with orders for some reason. Has anyone heard this one. All orders for less than quantity=5 were being rejected). So, instead of waiting for it I installed VWD Express. Now, the project had been built in VWD express beta 2, so no big change there.Several gridview controls in the project had <Delete> enabled. Just <Delete> mind you. Nothing else for command buttons. They all worked fine with delete queries that use gridview.selectedvalue as the parameter. Every single one stopped working since I've converted from beta 2 to RTM!Here's what I determined. The delete will only work if the row in the grid is selected first!. Otherwise <selectedvalue> is null when you click on <Delete>.Is this a bug or what?I'd be happy to supply more details. I am certain others will report this, but I have yet to find a post here or in any blogs out there that reproduce this problem in the RTM of .NET 2.0

View 6 Replies View Related What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.

Q1: Does Sql Server 2005 Express support Web/Internet to other SQL Server 2005 Express Clients or does it have to Synch across the internet to a fully installed setup SQL Server 2005 with IIS?

I'm a newbie and I have a problem that i can't solve despite sitting here all day trying to wortk it out.
I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 along with the associated toolkit. Previous to that i installed MS Visulal studio 2005, .NET 2.0 and MSDN.
The problemn is that it appears despite installing everything i don't have SQLExpress services running on my PC. I have admin rights, it installed okay but there is nothing to connect to.
When i run "sqlcmd.exe -s (local)SQLExpress -E" from the command prompt i get the following 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 establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re 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.
When i run SQL Server Configuration there is no "SQLExpress" service present under "SQL Server 2005 Servcies" in SQL Server Configuration dialog; just a message saying:
"there are no items to show in this view"
When i run Surface Area Configuration i get the following message:
TITLE: Surface Area Configuration
------------------------------
No SQL Server 2005 components were found on the specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLSAC)
------------------------------

If you can shed any light on this id be extreamly grateful as i'd been here for hours before stumbling across the toolkit (why this wasn't bundled i don't know) only to realise once i had it that the SQLExpress service isn't running :(
Cheers,
Nick.
