Please could anyone tell me what are the real differences between SQL Server 2005 bundled along with Visual Studio.NET and a standalone one.
Thanks in advance.
all,
I have the standard edition of SQL Server 2005 installed on a WIN XP Pro machine. I setup file and print sharing with my laptop. What do I need to be able to connect to SQL Server on my WIN XP Pro machine from my laptop. I hope to do most of my developing on my laptop. Do I need the developers edition of SQL server 2005 installed on my laptop?
Im trying to install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my XP SP2 laptop. If I can do so, which versions(i.e. standard, express, desktop, etc) are compatible ?
Thank you
I just recently replaced my old HP laptop with a Sony VAIO. I installed all of my development software on it, including SQL Server 2005 and the studio. At some point when I am using the studio on this new laptop, if I try to resize any of the columns to better fit the data, it crashes my laptop. I get the infamous Blue Screen of Death.
The laptop is a Sony Vaio BX670P and it has Win XP SP2 with all of the latest and greatest updates loaded on it.
The BSD blames a driver for causing the crash and points out "win32k.exe" specifically. This has never happened to me before.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?

I have attached the SAN, configured the Windows Clustering and I'm ready for SQL. SQL Server 2005 was already on this machine as a stand alone. I removed all of the software and I'm reinstalling SQL. The cluster option is not enabled. Any ideas why?

I have got two instances of SQL Server 2005 SP2 on my laptop (the first one is the default instance).
Checked configuration running the following scripts
SELECT type_desc, port FROM sys.tcp_endpoints;

Ok, this is my setup;
Laptop
Installed Visual Web Developer ExpressInstalled SQL Server Express
Server
Windows 2003 serverIIS is working and runs asp 2.0 scriptsInstalled SQL Server 2005 which is running, has remote connections enabled and the SQL browser is also runningThe windows firewall is turned OFF
Router
I have opened port 1433 to point to the server(TCP) and 1434 to point to the server (UPD)
The Problem
Locally on my laptop everything works fine, I can't actually see SQL Express but if I enter MICKEYsqlexpress then connecting to databases works fine.I've setup ftp on the server and I've created a new website using VWD on my laptop, it's connected via FTP and created the website fine, and it runs no problem.
I am in a remote location so I am not connected to the local network, but even if I connect to the local network using VPN I still cannot get this to work. The problem is I am unable to get VWD to connect to SQL on my server. I've tried installing VWD on the server, and it seems the SQL server fine, and shows as just the server name which is "GOOFY".
In VWD on my laptop I've tried entering the server as just "GOOFY" and also "GOOFYmssqlserver" and on both occassions I can an error message saying that a connection to the server couldnt be reached, and it's usually because the server is not setup to accept remove connections (but mine is). It also says something about "Named Pipe", but I've checked the server and that option is not enabled, I have TCP/IP enabled on the SQL server of the server.
Can anyone help me to make a remote sql connection to my server?
I just want to run a webiste off my home computer with a dynamic address.It seems I can do all I want with the SQL that comes with vs2005 except being able to backup the DBIs the SQL 2005 that comes with vs2005 good enoh for everything I should want to do?? Is there some chart somewhere that explains the differences ?

I want to install SQLExp2K5 with Advanced Services on a standalone basis on my Dell Inspiron XPS laptop (Win XP sp2, .NET 2.0; 2gb RAM; 8mb broadband; hardware firewall/router) so that I can learn SQL/VB/VWD, and want to use SQL E 2K5 without internet connectivity (at least until I know what the hell I'm doing!)
Really confused as to what component(s), and services I should/should not install - so I've listed my questions below:
1. Service Account: As I'm not on / dont have a domain, i presume using a domain user account is not an option for me. Should I use the Local Service account ? If so, what are/can be the issues in doing so?
2. Authentication Mode: Is Windows Authentication the one to use for a standalone install?; how would I enable the "sa" account and set an "sa" password? In fact, do I even need an"sa" account / password for a standalone, non internet connected install?
3. Components at install: Is it OK to install all components first off?
4. IIS: Is it possible to install IIS and not allow it access to the internet (or is this a stupid question -bearing in mind I dont really know what IIS is/does)
5: Business Intelligence Development Suite: How do I add BIDS once (IF) I manage to install SQLExp2K5-Adv.Ser,?
6. SQLExp2K5 Books on-line: Am I right in thinking that I should install this after installing SQLExp2K5?
7: Visual Basic Express/Visual Web Developer Express: Do these need to be configured seperately to work with SQLExp2K5?
Sorry about the length of this post, but have tried to be as clear as possible. Also apologise in advance for silly/stupid questions :)
All help and advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a need to demonstrate an application I built in ASP.NET with SQL Server as the back-end database. The problem is when I don't have a network connection, I get an exception thrown..."SQL Server does not exist or access denied." This is the connection string I use (via ASP.NET/ADO.NET): "server=localhost; uid=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=mydb"
I've tried Query Analyzer and it too, doesn't work - I get an error message that reads: "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied." However, via SQL Server Enterprise Manager, I can connect and do what I want to the database.
As soon as I connect my laptop to any network, the web application works fine (no errors), as well as the Query Analyzer.
Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my Question...
I have 3 server hardware and the whole purpose is to make one as a web server and another one a SQL server. The purpose of the 3rd server is purely a backup server, what that means is, in case if my web server nor my database server fails, I should be able to use the 3rd server as a backup. How do I achive this without using MS cluster service.
I can use NLB for Web, but what about SQL server ??
All I need to know is ,other than MS cluster service, is there any way I can create a backup SQL database server ( secondary database server) in case the primary fails with very minimal down time? I need my secondary ( backup) server up and running when the primary fails. I don't want to use Cluster service because of the cost for storage and license.
Any idea will be welcomed. I could have used the datamirroring option of the 2005 , but this is for a production deployment and is not recomended by microsoft. also, restore the backup from primary and make it work is not welcomed.
Thanks

Hi,
I am developing a web project in VS 2005 Professional.
The site will be hosted on a machince that does not have an instance of Sql Server Express. Can I still use the standalone sql database file (.mdf) file? Are there drivers in ASP.NET that allow this or do I have to ask that an instance of either Sql Server or Sql Server Express be installed?
Thanks, Mike
I have transferred my program to a 2000 server and while programming it was automatically using the local ASPNET login and when transferring it to the server it says that it is having problems logging into the sql server using an anonymous login. How do i change the program so that it can use the sa login or some other assigned login?

I need to copy a database from our SQL server box to a laptop. What is the best way to accomplish this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello all!
I want to get into consulting (perhaps a little at first and more once I can support myself on it solely). I am about to start the purchase of a laptop soon, and I want to know which components I should focus on the most. I also want to know which version of SQL Server I should purchase.
From my studies and what I have learned (about to take the test to get my sql server 2005 certificate) I am going to assume that I want to get SQL Server 2005 developer software. However, the part that is not touched on very often, is if I am working with a client that has say, SQL Server 2005 enterprise, x64 exition, and I have developer IA64 edition, would I be able to connect and work on their server?
As far as the hardware is concerned, I am thinking I want a laptop with a large enough screen (I currently get a discount through hp where I currently work and am looking at the models that have a 17 inch screen) so I don't go blind trying to work . I am also thinking I don't need an extremely powerful processor, but I am not sure between athlon and pentium on which I Should choose since I do not have much experience in this area with sql server. I know I want at least 2GB of memory for the simple fact that sql server isnt the only thing I will be doing on the laptop and want some headroom. I also want a large enough hard drive to hold everything, but I definitely want to see if I can get a 7200rpm drive vs a 5400rpm for the simple fact that I have noticed a significant difference in read and write speeds between the 2 drives. I am not too fussed over the video card, as I am not into graphics design or high-end video games (I think world of warcraft is the most intense I have bought in years). I am also thinking that because I wont need to have a very powerful video card, that a mega powerful battery is not super important.
These so far are my thoughts. Please let me know your opinions on what I should focus on/get

Hi Guys!
I want to buy a laptop, so that I can install and play with the trial SS 2005 Enterprise Edition and hopefully get familiar with SSIS. At work I have only used SS 2000. I want a laptop which will run this with a reasonable speed, but don't want to pay for more juice than is actually required. Does anyone have any advice on what kind of spec would be good enough for SS 2005 Enterprise? If I go for the basics suggested by the system requirements, will it run like a tortoise?
Thanks!!

I have a vbs script to try to prove that I can perform vbs scripting in either a job step or a dts package
The script is
dim rs, sql,adoconn, adocommand, dataconnstring
set adoconn = createObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set adocommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
adoconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=myserver;Database=pubs;U id=myuser;Pwd=mypass;"
adoconn.Open
sql = "select * from import"
rs.Open sql, adoconn,adOpenForwardOnly
while rs.EOF = false
sql = "insert into zz default values"
adocommand.ActiveConnection = adoconn
adocommand.CommandText = sql
adocommand.Execute
rs.MoveNext
wend
rs.Close
adoconn.Close
set adoconn = nothing
However,
when I run this from windows explorer it works fine,
but when I try to run it as an activeX script, I get the error ActiveX scripting: Function not found
As a cmdexec step in a job, I use the line c:inetpubwwwrootvbsvbstest1.vbs
It failed with the error
The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x119BDBD264AD9B4597A9302786F0E250 (reason: %1 is not a valid Win32 application). The step failed.
What is wrong with the vbs script ?, or do I need to invoke it a different way ?
thanks in advance
I have an issue with the BCP util, it is extremely slow when running a BCP in to the same database on an A/P cluster vs. Standalone system. It is a vendor application, so I have little control as to what I can do. The BCP runs from a jobserver (remote) through the network, but it runs the same way in the standalone system, yet the process is about 10X as slow with the cluster, and the only diff is cluster vs. standalone.
SQLClusterName is specified in -S, not the active node, and it uses a trusted connection, not a local account. Is there anything about a cluster config that would cause the BCP to run slower ?
Any thoughts ??
Thanks,
Paul

Is it possible to run SQL Server Compact Edition as a standalone application from a DVD?
i.e. it would not leave anything installed on the users computer after the DVD was ejected.
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this so this might look dumb, but I need to know what all has to be done to develop a standalone database application.....The frontend is going to be on VC++...which are the best tools I'll need to use. I need to know if the user has to install the database app to use the program to make this possible......Also will he have to keep it running everytime to use the program.
Thanks a lot for you time and patience,

I've just spent the most frustrating 4 hours trying to install SP2.
I kept getting "unable to start SQL Server service....see BOL ...re starting the service manually" messages; with the only options being to Retry or Cancel. Retry resulted in the same message. Cancel resulted in all components except SQL (sqlexpress) being installed - therefore totally useless
No mater what I did i could start the SQLservice as it did'nt show in the list of Services; nor did the SQL EE programme show in the Add/Remove Programs...evenn though the other components did.
I deleted/removed everything that was istalled; cleaned up the Registry; and tried again...
..and again
..and again
FIVE install / re-install failures; numerous registry cleanups!!!!
I was at the point where it looked like i'd have to reformat my hard disk, and completely re-install XP, all aplications i.e. Office 2003 etc in order for the thing to work.
I gave it one more shot, but this time, during install
- selected all components except SDK
- I unchecked the Start SQL / BROWSER at startup
- Checked the Enable User Instances and Add to Administrators boxes
Lo and behold....it installed!!!
I'm still very worried as the registry is full of "duplicate" entries i.e. Blah blah blah and blah blah blah.1
But at least the thing is installed.
Would interested to hear if anyone has had similar or other problems with the SP2 install/upgrade
----------------------
For info:
I ran the install as Administrator
IIS not installed

What's a good way to download five SQL Server 2005 databases from production to my laptop for development work with Visual Studio?
Our application code is under source control, but to have a current development environment I must keep downloading these databases. Four databases are small, but one will need to be trimmed to about 10% of actual size to fit on my laptop's hard drive.
Looking at options in the Management Studio by right-clicking on each database, I see options to export the data, create a backup. Or, am I making this too hard and the easiest way would be to download some backups of the database created by the maintenance plan and use those to restore them on my laptop?
Hi,
I want to jumpstart my learning of SQL Server so I downloaded the Express edition onto my desktop in the office and also onto my laptop. I usually connect the two machines (through a LAN) to update whatever I was able to do at home while in the office.
What should I do in order to view or edit whatever I started on the laptop from the desktop? Would the databases I create on one be accessible through the other machine for editing and the likes?
Glint.
