Can't Create And Connect To A New Database (.mdf File)
Jun 28, 2006
Unfortunately I was sent to this product by my Hosting Site since all I was trying to do was Create and Manage a User Login with authentication to my subsites in MS Frontpage. (rant: Why doesn't Frontpage support this technology???)
Anyway, I have now spent (wasted?) 8 hours downloading, installing, and tyring to configure SQL Express along with MS Visual Web Developer Express for ASP.NET 2.0 ... For the life of me I can't find detailed configuration informatin and setup information to build a SIMPLE database to connect to the VW product. Folk: this HAS to be simpler to do than what you present in the product! This is way too difficult to deal with compare with frontpage.
Is there a simple "how to" link someplace that is specific enough to preclude me from uninstalling this entire suite ????

I have an application that creates a new database during installation,and I've noticed some strange behavior. Once I've created thedatabase, I am able to immediately create tables and populate lookupdata, provided I remain connected to the server. If, however, Idisconnect and attempt to reconnect immediately, I'll get an errorsaying that my login is invalid for the new database.I can get around this by having my code simply wait 5 seconds beforeattempting to reconnect, but I'm curious to see if anybody here cangive an explaination for why this is happening. Here is a bit ofpseudo code to explain what I'm seeing:open new connectioncreate databasecreate tablespopulate tablesclose connection// open new connection /* can't do this yet, as it would break */for (int a=0; a<5; a++){Thread.Sleep(2000)try{open new connectionbreak;}catch{Debug("still waiting...");}}Running my version of this code, I'll see that "still waiting..."message go past 2-3 times before SQL Server wakes up and realizes thatI'm allowed to connect to it. Anybody know why?Thanks,Jason KesterExpat Software Consulting Serviceshttp://www.expatsoftware.com/---Get your own Travel Blog, with itinerary maps and photos!http://www.blogabond.com/

Hi All, 1st of all happy New Year to all asp.net forum members
I am new at asp.net. I want to design a website
using asp.net as frontend and sql database as backend. I am able to
connect and add,update as well delete records when I use MsAcess and
Asp.net using the following connection strings...
**********
sub Page_Load
dim dbconn,sql,dbcomm,dbread
dbconn=New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=" & server.mappath("/database/northwind.mdb"))
dbconn.Open()
sql="SELECT * FROM customers where city LIKE 'Berlin' order by city ASC"
dbcomm=New OleDbCommand(sql,dbconn)
dbread=dbcomm.ExecuteReader()
customers.DataSource=dbread
customers.DataBind()
dbread.Close()
dbconn.Close()
end sub
**********
But when I try to connect to sql database using the following connection strings I am unable to do so...
**************
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("server=PLATINUMVSdotNET;database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes");
SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter(" * from Authors", myConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors");
MyDataGrid.DataSource=ds.Tables["Authors"].DefaultView;
MyDataGrid.DataBind();
**************
I have written the servername as "PLATINUMVSdotNET" because when I
installed SQL SERVER 2000 I found a tray icon where the server name was
displaying the same (my computer name is PLATINUM).
When I used webmatrix I enterd the same server name and windows
authentication I was able to create a database but How to create
table...
Please help me out
Thanks in advance...

I have just upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2.
Now I can't connect to my local database.mdf file.
When trying to open or doubleclick or expand my .mdf file the following message pops up:
Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instance enabled' to generate user instances.
What is the solution for this problem?

Hi,
I am a beginner on using SQL Server Express. I have two different questions. Here is the first:
I've developed a simple C# application in Visual Studio 2005 that connects to a SQL Server database file. In the application I connect to the database using this connection string:
@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Databasesmydatabas.mdf ;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";
and It works perfect.
But when I move the database file(and the corresponding log-file) to another computer it fails. I've changed the connection string to this
@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=\myserverDatabasesmydatabase.mdf ;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";
This is the error message I get when I try to open the database
The file \myserverDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file \myServerDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Both computer runs Windows XP SP2.
My second question is:
When I deployed my solution to my production PC(witch also runs Windows XP SP2, .NET Framwork 2.0 is installed on the computer) .When I then tried to run the application I did get this error message
An error has occured when establishing a connection to the server. When connection to a SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remomte conections.....
Appearently I cant treat SQL Server database files in the same way as Access-files, or?

I recently created a program that connects to a Microsoft SQL database that was stored on my computer and it worked fine. As soon as I tried to connect to the same database via a network drive I got an error stating that "The file Y:Filename.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.". I can't seem to get it to work, if anybody has any ideas what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate your help.

I was running a Evaluation copy of SQL 7 and suddenly it expired. I couldn't start the SQL service any more therefore I couldn't make a backup of my database. Now I installed new SQL 7 server and my database file (xx.mdf and xx.ldf) are there. Is there a way that I can recover my databases from those files?
Thanks.

I'm using MS Visual C# 2005 Express, but I can't create a new local database file in the "Add -> New Item" dialog. The Studio doesn't create the database, but shows a file not found message.
Any ideas?

The problem that I am having is that with Visual Web Developer I am creating a webpage and having it directly put online, so for example when I start a new ASP.NET page, I select the location to be HTTP, with the location http://MYWEBSERVER/Website and for the language and Visual BasicI notice a couple of things, first that there is no longer a a link under the Main toolbar "Website" selection called the ASP.NET configuration. So how can I configure what I want to have users be able to do? It seems that this choice is only available if I am building the ASP.NET page on my "localhost". So that is the first problem. So I am able to get the pages to work, atleast the things such as the textboxes to show up etc, (Even things as advanced as the "Login" box). How ever when I try to get someone to try to login I am taken to a page that has an server error. The error is:
"The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file. "
The Stack Trace Errors are at the bottom. I think this is happening because the automatically generated databases are not getting built online as they are on my computer. On my computer I have MSSQL express. So either the databases are not getting built for some reason, (and I think that is the case as I don't see any in the folder). So I think that somehow I have to create a database on my server, and then somehow configure the ASP.NET file, perhaps in the Web.Config file to look for that new database. Is this the correct methodology? Is there some simpler way that I can just somehow upload things as they are and have them work correctly on my server? The error says that either the Server did not find the database or that the trust level was insufficient. I don't think that is it as I just looked again and I don't see any .MDF files. So how would I go about getting this to work right? Is there a way to do this with MySQL also? So that I don't have to use MSSQL? My server only allows 1 DataBase for that.
Thanks and I hope my question makes sense. It is basically how can I get it to be able to create and check users etc. online?

In the management studio there is a function to dump the DDL of a database, script database create to and then I can choose file.
What I was wondering and can't seem to find is, whether it is possible to somehow call this function from a program.
Any language, and connection will do for now, if at all posible, or if there is some other way I haven't found to dump the DDL for a database this woudl be much appreciated.
btw, I'm using a mssql 2005 database.

I know this is easy but I am having trouble creating a database from a backup file.
I created a database (Test).
Then I selected 'Test', went to Tasks and selected 'Restore Database'.
I selected 'Device' browsed to the backup file.
I choose the destination database to be 'Test'.
There is no backup sets listed to restore. The 'OK' button is disabled.
How do you get the backup list to display? This is a new database. I don't need a backup.

I have some questions about creating SQL Server CE databases. Based on my experiments and what I've read on these forums, it looks like there are a couple ways to create a database schema. I can edit the database schema via the Server Explorer in Visual Studio, or use an external program like SQL Server Management Studio and somehow convert those files to .sdf files.
I find Visual Studio's built in tools to be cumbersome to use and limited in functionality, and using SSMS seems like a roundabout way of approaching the problem. I understand Microsoft will be releasing better tools with Orcas, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if there are alternative ways to generate database schemas.
For instance, I find Visual Studio's DataSet designer fairly easy to use. The DataSet designer generates schema definitions (.xsd files), and an instantiated DataSet can both read and write schema definitions via Read/WriteXMLSchema. Furthermore, DataAdapter's Fill and FillSchema methods can be used to push a schema from a database to a DataSet. So, can I somehow go the other direction and push a schema from a DataSet to a database? It seems like all the tools are there...
For example, if I create the DataSet schema, could I use a small app to create a new .sdf file, instantiate a DataSet, write the schema from the DataSet to the database, and then save the .sdf file? Or given the generated .xsd file, is there any way to create a SQL database from that?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

hello,
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
Any ideas?
thanks &
best regards,
Christian Kiedels

I have created a SQL Everywhere database using SQL Server Management Studio (because I couldn't figure out a way to create it with VisualStudio.NET).
Then, I try to open it in Visual Studio.NET, using the following steps:
Add New Data Source
Pick type Database
Click New Connection
Pick Data Source "<other>", and Data Provider ".NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB".
Pick OLE DB Provider "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Everywhere Edition OLE DB Provider for Windows".
Enter a full path to the filename as the Server or File Name. (I've tried it with and without doubling the backslashes in the pathname - no difference.)
Click Advanced and enter the Password that I assigned to the DB.
Click Test Connection - it says it succeeded.
Click OK. It says "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Now what? Thanks.

Hi,
Please direct me to the right forum if this is not the right one.
Upon installation of SQL Server 2005, I opened the SQL Server Management Studio, connected using Windows Authentication and went to the security node in the tree. I created a log in called "TestLogin". I restarted my server just to make sure everything took and when I tried to log in using TestLogin via SQL Server Authentication, I get the below error. I have mixed mode enabled as well as named pipes. I am not sure what the issue is or what to try next. I even get the same error when trying to use "sa".
Thanks,

The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?
