Can't Connect To Sql Ce Using Sql Server Mgmt. Studio Express
Sep 12, 2007
Hi everybody,
i apperciate any help you guys can give me regarding this. I'm trying to connect to a sql ce db using sql server mgmt. studio express but from some reason i can't change the server type from the native engine (db engine) to sql ce (it's simply greyd out). I think I've installed all relevants to this (engine, sdk, etc...) but still nothing. The thing is, that on another machine I can do it and i can't figure out what more do I need for this to work.
how do I attach my user instance mdf and chagne scheme etc? for example my mdf is at c:sqldatamyapp.mdf
I tried attach and got
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------
Attach database failed for Server 'IEI-A64SQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Attach+database+Server&LinkId=20476

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."
I just tried installing SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition (SSMSEE?) and it wouldn't install because I had the "regular" SQL Server Management Studio already installed. Is that correct? The version I installed was a CTP. Is the final version going to have the same limitations?
=============================================== Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today. One crisis at a time.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express. I would like to import tables from another DB, and I read in the help files that I just need to (1) right-click on a non-system database in Management Studio Express, and (2) select Import/Export under the Tasks menu.
I tried this, but my Tasks menu only contains these options: Detach, Shrink, Backup, Restore, Generate Scripts.
I googled for "sql server 2005 "no import" tasks", and it appears that a couple of people have had this problem -- the only solution I read was to install the "Workstation Components," but I already have, and still no luck.
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?
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. 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.
On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:
Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS
Additional Information:
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, erro: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.
Please, I use tyhe Visual Studion 2005 SQL Server Express Edition Management Studio (SMSE) to create the backend database and trying to set the connectionstring from the web config file, but what I continue to get as an error is that "<computername>/ASPNET" login failed for that user, cannot login to the Management Studio. This is my expression from the web config file <connectionStrings><clear /><add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Database=<dbname>;User Instance=true; Integrated Security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> Is there anything I do wrong? Please, I need to solve this and it's urgent.Thanks Kayode Banjo Programmer
When I want to connect to a local report server on as shown in the "Reporting Services Tools" tutorial (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa337424.aspx), the SSMSE does not show the option "Reporting Services" in the "Server type" drop down list in the "Connect to server" dialog.
The tutorial says "In the Server type list, select Reporting Services. If Reporting Services is not on the list, it is not installed."
This must be wrong as the SSCM clearly shows an installed and running "SQL Server Reporting Service (...)".
Also if i call the webinterface (http://localhost/reports/) a page loads that says "SQL Server Reporting Services Home" with some options. And here something is not correct too. The "contents" tab of the report manager says "There are no items in Home."
I started to work on some basic tutorials using the sql server business development studio, and everything works fine. I can create reports, which derive data from the AdventureWorks db properly.
Can anyone tell me the adequate steps to fix the SSMSE connection problem and the webinterface view problem?
Here are some additional informations:
I use WinXP SP2, which makes the IIS version 5.1
SQL server is 2005 express with advanced features
and i installed the management toolkit, and the AdventureWorks db.
Installation history is as follows:
.NET framework 2.0 + VS2005 professional edition was installed
1. installed ss2005express+advanced features, on a named instance. worked fine. I did not install the SSMSE at this point, as i knew it is included in the toolkit too. 2. configured the reporting services through the "reporting services configuration" tool. worked fine. 3. installed the management tool kit. worked fine. 4. installed the AdventureWorks db. installed, but was not attached automaticaly to the database engine. 5. attached the AdventureWorks db to the database engine manually. worked fine, can be viewed and accessed properly.
So there I am. I have no clue what went wrong.
A last hint that makes me think is this: In the SSCM the sql server an the sql server reporting services have different instance ids (MSSQL.1 and MSSQL.2 respectively).
Thanks in advance for your solutions and hints, that is - for your time :-) art
No. No I do not want to save changes to that sp_who2 query I just ran. I just want to close the window, and not be bothered with the computer's obsessive compulsive need to save everything I do. Dang it all, it sounds like my computer is working for the NSA leaving a paper trail that even a kitten with Attention Deficit Disorder on catnip could follow.
As you can tell, I am weaning myself off of Query Analyzer, and can not find the checkbox for "Don't bother me when I close a window". Anyone else come across it, yet? It does not appear to be under tools->options or query->query options.
I created a bunch of stored procedures on my dev machine using Visual Studio 2008 interface.
Now I am using MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio 2005 and looking at the PRODUCTION database online. I tried to create the new stored procedure. But how do I SAVE it to the database? It keeps asking me to save the sql file locally, but I don't know how to do it to the db itself. Please help.
I've had requests for a version of my product ViEmu, a VS.NET 2003-VS2005 add-in, which will work within SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. I had a look at the Mgmt Studio, and it seems to be a version of the VS2005 environment customized for the product. There is a registry hive along the line of the one in Visual Studio, but located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsShell.
I looked for any hint online, but it seems largely undocumented.
I tried plugging my software by writing the right 'Packages' and 'AutoloadPackages' keys, and running "SqlWb /setup", which seems to do something. Nothing happened afterwards, anyway, the DLL doesn't seem to be loaded into the process. I tried using the '/log' option, but an error message comes up (which doesn't describe the /setup option either).
Is there a way to load a VS package into SQL Server 2005 Mgmt Studio? Is this a problem with the PLK? Is it unsupported? Has anybody been successful in such a feat? Would it be ok if I hack some way, no matter how obscure? Is this deliberately turned off, as in the Express editions?
Best regards and thanks in advance,

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble connecting to a SQLExpress instance on a remote domain using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I've read that by default the program is set up locally only, so have edited the Surface Area Configuration. It only gives me the option to edit 'Services and Connections' on the localhost, but have edited the Remote Connections to use TCP/IP and Named Pipes. In the Management Studio, I enter the server name, and login credentials. On the Connection Properties tab I changed the network protocol to TCP/IP though everytime I attempt to connect I get the following error message: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich
I am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.
when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [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 connections.
on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out. Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!
If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)
If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.
I am trying to connect to another computer in my local network which has Windows XP installed. It has SQL server 2000. I get an error message 'Time out period elapsed' when i try to connect to SQL server 2000 thru SQL Server Management Studio Express' Please guide.
I have installed SQL 2005 Express Edition on a Windows 2003 Web Edition server. Everything installed correctly, no errors to be found. I also have:

Hello, does anyone hate the new interface where you manage the Table Relationships, Indexes, and etc?
I hate it a lot for these reasons. 1) Dialog window cannot be resized (really really annoying) 2) The Table-Relationship configuration dialog window is not as convenient to use as SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.
I hope this is the correct place to provide feedback and I hope this will get modified a bit in the next service pack (or) update....
I have created two tables and receive a "columns in table ... do not match an existing primary key or UNIQUE constraint." error message.
Table1: GOSMapping
PK: AuthInd (bigint)
PK: GLCode (nchar(8))
-both columns were set as PK simultaneously
Table2: GOSTracking
PK: AdjID
FK: AuthInd (bigint)
FK: GLCode (nchar(8))
I open Table2 in the designer and right click, then select Relationships. I choose both of the columns that are the PK in Table1, and set the exact fields as the FK in Table2. I get the message when trying to save this relationship. All data types are congruent, and the primary key has been set as the combination of the two PK columns in Table1. Any ideas?
I'm in stage of manually populating a database that requires me to have about a dozen tables open simultaneously. It would be great to be able to save the tables, locations and sizing so that these can be recalled and opened automatically. Currently I do a screen capture, which is pretty lame.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Can I connect to remote SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express? I always get a error code 18456 when I try to connect to SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm sure I enter correct username and password!
I 'm getting this error on expanding the + nodes in SQL Server Management Studio Express Object Explorer:i.e. Database -> System Databases -> Any DB selected and expanding the Tables node When I click on the nodes for Tables for any of my databases, I see it saying expanding..., but then a message box errors pops up.

I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio Express, and used it to connect remotely to SQL Server 2005 Express. The first connect worked fine. It was suggested to me to update ODBC drivers to connect to the server using Microsoft Access. In doing so, I found what I thought were Studio Express updates and tried to install them. From then on, I could no longer access the server. The error was a nebulous one that indicated that is could not find the server.
I verified that the the server was set up correctly by installing Studio Express on another machine, and it connected fine.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. When I ran it, I did not get the "first time use" routine, and still could not connect. I reinstalled MDAC with my Windows XP sp2 disk and reinstalling Studio Express, and still could not connect.
I started a thread - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2557611&siteid=1 - on SQL Server Express foram, and they verified that the server was set up correctly. They suggested that the client network protocol stack on your computer is broken. They suggested I post here to seek help in fixing it.
I am running into a problem and have been browsing the web and reading nonstop for answers with no success. My company just installed SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to connect to it via SQL Server Management Studio from my network computer in the same office building.
When I browse for Local or Network Servers in the initial popup box at SQL Management Studio Startup, it doesn't show any servers at all. Is there something I need to enable on the Server using the Configuration Manager or one of the other tools to allow my network computer to "see" the SQL Server?
Any insight would be MUCH appreciated. Even a link to a how-to would suffice. Thank you.
Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
" Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 "
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
So after 7 months of using SQL Express DB(on a dedicated server), sql management studio on two pc in my office to connect to said DB, and also connecting to DB with query analizer with no connection problems at all, I came into the office yesturday morning to find that the two computers with Studio could not connect to the DB?!?!?! Now, query analizer connects fine to the DB still, with the exact same ip/server instance and with windows authentication??? ive tried reloading studio, disabling firewall both on the client pc and on the server... the instance on the server is set to accept incoming connections (verified i guess by the fact that query analyzer can still connect to it)... i dont get it??? any suggestions????

Is there a better/faster/persistable way to generate sql objects with the ms sql server mgmt studio than to go thru that long wizard? I hate having to configure it each time.
I have Visual Studio 2005 standard installed and want to add SQL server managment studio can I just install the extras pack or do I need to re-install SQL server express with the advanced options.
I have just installed SQL Server 64x on Vista 64 but when I try to find the server in SQL Management Studio nothing appears to connect to. I did run the program to make my Vista login a SQL Admin. Any ideas why?
I can't connect to LocalDB using Visual Studio for Web Express 2012 or SMSS 2012 in a Windows 8 environment. LocalDB is installed and some things do work, however. The basic error is the very common:
Cannot connect to (LocalDB)v11.0.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

In a command window, I can query the state of LocalDB an "info" parameter:

The first two are tests created at the command line using sqlLocalDB.I have reinstalled and repaired LocalDB several times with no errors reported.
