Hi Guys,
I'm trying to connect to a sql express on a workgroup PC through sql server 2005 standard edition remotely but i can't.
I have checked and make sure that tcp/ip and other protocals are allowed. There is no firewall on both PCs and the sql browser service is running as well.
Somehow i can connect using the IP address but not the name?
Any idea why?

Hi to everyone!
Here is my problem: I have SQLEXPRESS running with Windows Authentication on a "server" PC named "ASUS1", and I need to connect from a "client" PC named "Presario1", user "Mauro", connected through a peer network (I use a cross-over cable); both PCs belongs to the same workgroup named "RMT-WORK", and they can see each others shared folders without problems.
I have installed the connectivity components + Management Studio Express on Presario1, and enabled named pipes and TCP/IP protocols; then I've got SQL Browser running. I have also added the Login "Guest" on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS.
When I start Management Studio Express on Presario1 and browse for servers I can select "ASUS1" as database engine but when I try to connect I receive "Error 40: could not open a connection to SQL Server" (same result using SQLCMD); I have tried to add on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS a user "Presario1Mauro" with "CREATE LOGIN [Presario1Mauro] FROM WINDOWS" but I receive a "Windows user not found" error...
Can anyone help me?
Hello,
I am currently hosting my ecommerce site on a dedicated server with dual AMD processors and 2 gigs of ram. I have on average 20 people on the site at one time.
on this server i have sql express, from which i understand, only utilizes one of the processors and 1gig of ram. I have the choice to pay an extra 150 a month to have my host put sql workgroup on my system.
My question is, will i notice any kind of real performace boost by upgrading. Or at the level that i am at, there wont be much difference?
Any help would be very useful.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I am a Systems Engineer and was sent on a job to a site that has a newly created SBS 2003 R2 Premium box which was OEM pre-installed from Dell. The SBS install was evidently finished off by the I.T. guys at the site. Now along comes some software house to install their propritery application. During this install process, the software guy was unable to find an instance of SQL running and installs SQL 2005 Express and the Express Studio management console. He installs his application and before he leaves says to the I.T. guys "Oh and by the way, there is a 4GB limit per database on SQL Express. You will have to change that to workgroup edition before the data grows too big. Have a nice day byeee!!!".
The I.T. guys go "Huh? Lets call James." So now I have to get this database off the SQL Express instance and onto a workgroup instance. I understand about detaching a database and re-attaching it. No prob there. What is confusing me is when I look at the default instance which should be a Workgroup instance, all I see is an Express instance.
What I am planning to do is rip out all the SQL 2005 stuff, leaving behind only Sharepoint, SBSmonitoring and WSUS stuff. The, using the SBS Premium cd's, install SQL 2005 again and updating the service packs for it again. Then mount the databases under it and get the software guys back in to reconfigure their application if need be.
Thing is, I have no idea how to sort it all out other than "Add remove programs" in control panel and remove the SQL 2005 stuff. What scares me however, is the thought of also removing the Sharepoint, WSUS and SBSMonitoring databases too.
Can someone help me with a procedure for sorting it out? How can I tell what I should uninstall and what I shouldn't? How do I tell if workgroup is already there and why did express steal the default instance?
Cheers
James
Hello -- Please excuse my extreme newbieness -- trying to get up to speed fast on SQL Server Express for work. I've been able to set up the software, create a database, and access it with no problems on my local computer, but I need to make the database available to other computers in my workgroup. I followed instructions -- enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes and turned on SQL Server Browser, and I was actually able to manipulate one system database (the "master" database) from another computer but not any other databases, not even the other system databases. I can connect to any of the databases with the SQLCMD commands, but if I try to do any SELECT commands (other than in "master") I get an error: "SELECT permission denied on object '[MyTable]', database '[MyDatabase]', schema 'dbo'". I was only able to get into "master" after adding "guest" as a user, but adding this user to the other databases has no effect. One interesting thing: When I used the sp_table_privileges command on each database, all but "master" showed all privileges being granted to and from "dbo", but "master" didn't show anything being granted to or from anybody. Does anyone know what could be going on here? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any and all help!

In the past if we wanted to provide an application with simple (multi-user) database facilities, we would use an Access mdb database which we could basically xcopy deploy to the client. Share the folder across the network and apart from the limitations of mdb databases it would work !!!
With all the advancements in databases ! we have moved on to SQL Express - touted as the thing to use and the replacement for MSDE and MDB databases. But hang on a minute !! It doesn't work like that ! You can't deploy Express like we used to with MDB databases - the default Express database doesn't allow multi-access ?? and if you can't xcopy deploy the Express database. The 'user Instance' thing is useless - basically every user gets their own copy of the database !!! How many developers asked Microsoft for that one!! It's crazy!!
We just need to copy our exe files and the mdf file share across a workgroup and bingo network version of our software - it's not brain surgery - Is it! We don't need mountains of security - we need (FIRST OF ALL) easy deployment.
Please tell me I've got it wrong and you can deploy a SQL Express based application without jumping thru hoops ????

hello,
i have no idea what i am doing here and could use some help from someone who knows what they are doing.
i have a proliant ml350 g3 server running windows 2003 server with sql express 2005 software.
all the databases are running in compatibility sql 7 mode.
I would like them to be in sql 2005 mode if possible. Is there a way to upgrade the databases in the process?
here's a plan I came up with:
take sql workgroup 2005 edition evaluation, install it on a machine.
Mount all databases on the machine.
Wipe out the sql express 2005 machine, reinstall workgroup edition on the new server.
but here is my question
is there a way to migrate the data from the workgroup edition over to the new server through a DTS copy process, and if so, will it create a new version of the databases with the proper collation or the proper english?
please let me know. if this works, i will be thrilled!
Hello,
when I try to upgrade SQL Server 2005 using this command line:
setup.exe /qb SKUUPGRADE=1 UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=Z1 SQLACCOUNT=NT-AUTORITÄTSYSTEM SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=XXXXXX
I get error 28092 (administrator rights needed).
It seems like the upgrade tries to use Windows authentification although I've told it to use SQL Server authentification. Or did I miss a parameter in my command line?
If I do the upgrade manually it works without needing Windows authentification.
How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack(SP).
What about re-applying SQL 2005 service packs when upgrading Express SP1 to Workgroup, etc.?
In MSDE sql server 2000 dtsrun was available to execute the dts packages but now with sql server 2005 express edition integration service is not part of express/workgroup edition and the dtsexec run time is also not available.

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?
Does anyone have a experience or links to resources for implimenting SQL Server 2005 Express in a Windows peer-to-peer workgroup?
Thanks.
Hello
I got a sql server express that i am trying to connect form win or web forms(2.0) €“ express as well.
My problem:
Can not connect to the server in any way!
Even the designer cont find any sql server on my machine; for example "the data source configuration manager" (gui) in enyn way its can not find the sql server express (2005)
So my question is:
if all what i used is the express version - is it possible to connect and use the sql.s express form the vs. express
Can we upgrade from Express 2005 to Standard/Workgroup 2005??If possible with what complexities can it be done??
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
A client of mine was using SQL Express and soon realised this doesn't meet his needs performance or database size wise. He also realised that SQL Server 2005 Workgroup came free with his R2 version of SBS.
So in essence, I have been trying to find the Microsoft recommended way to upgrade from Express to Workgroup. I have not been able to find a step-by-step guide and to add to my confusion, when I run the work-group installer it tells me to run the installer with a switch which I have gone ahead and done but when selecting components it has all of them defaulted to blanked out.
Surely the process for an in-place upgrade should not be so technical as I am finding it ? To my mind, the natural progression would be to upgrade express to a better capable version of 2005 and should be as easy as pie.
Anyway, I am basically looking for a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade to get it done right the first time as opposed to upgrading and than realised some remenants of Express are still larking about causing trouble.

Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
I have read online that so many people are having that problem. so is it the problem of swl server Express edition or do i have to make some setting to connect to the application.

Hi!
I'm trying to connect a DB in SQL express with a program in VB.NET Express. I'm using the Data Source Configuration Wizzard. When I select the file (.mdf), the following message appears:
Unable to open the physical file "path to my file". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file 'myFile' failed. A database with the same name exists, or secified file cannot be opened, or it is located in UNC share.
I'm using the Windows authentication for this, but if I try with the sa user, I get the following message:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.
Any ideas to solve this?
Thanks

The problem is, is that when I run the program and click the button to view the table in SQL Express 5 I keep getting an 'System.NullReferenceException' and the table is not shown. When I look at the debug details it says that 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Am not sure where am goin wrong as the connection is opened to the local server in SQL Express and I have created a connection object and initialised it to the address fo the datatable in SQL.
Please find below the code I am working on which shows the connection string in question and the table being called in button 6 which causes the exception.

I am unable to connect to express edition by specifying 'TCP/IP' in the Network Protocol option of 'Connection Properties' in managment studio. It gives the following error.

Hi , have a database on sqlexpress 2005 that I would like to use from vs 2008 c++. Using :
String ^ connectString = "Data Source=localhost;Database=sqlexpress\FAR_HISTORY;UID=eclipz;Password=litespeed";
SqlConnection^ sqlconn = gcnew SqlConnection(connectString);
sqlconn->Open();
and it fails: Additional information: Login failed for user 'eclipz'. I have the user id created under the "security tab" in SQL Server Management Studio express with the correct DB.
Next I tried Database="Trusted_Connection=yes............."
It fails again.
But If I try connecting to the Northwind DB created under MSDE 2000 using the "sa" account it logins ok !!!!!!
Help?
I have a huge connectivity issue that I can't seem to solve.
We're using SQL Express Edition as a local data store that is participating as a subscriber to SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Perfectly valid and supported.
Now the issue. I have the Express Edition on one machine connected just fine, but the other one absolutely refuses. Here is what I did for the one that connected correctly:
1. Enable remote connections for the Express Edition instance and restart the instance
2. Added the SQL Agent service account on the server to the SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$machine$SQLEXPRESS group on the local machine (yes, I want it to have that level of authority)
3. Connected to the machine with Express Edition to the network via VPN.
4. On the server, opened Management Studio and connected to the Express Edition on the machine to verify connectivity
Everything works.
On the machine that refuses, I've duplicated the steps above and it absolutely refuses to connect. I have verified that remote connections are enabled. I have tried connecting via both name as well as IP, just to rule out DNS resolution - neither works. I don't have any security issues. I can go all the way to mapping the c$ share on the machine with the Express Edition directly from the desktop of the server. I can browse for SQL Servers on the network and the machine shows up in the list, so I know that it is being recognized as having an instance of SQL Server. I can't find a single, solitary reason why it should throw a login failure. The message that I'm getting is as follows:
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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Does anyone have any ideas?
