Cannot Connect To SQLServer 2005
May 14, 2007
After several attempts to install SQL2005 I finally got Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio installed.
But now I get the error below:
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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
The sa account username/password are correct and don't work, windows authentication does not work, I have stopped/started all the services, I have all Protocols enabled correctly, I have my Firewall turned off.
Is there anything else I can try? Anything!

Hi all,
I'm not a db guru and probably this is a very simple question for you, but I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a SqlServer using odbc without DSN.
I mean, I'm trying to connect to the db server from a linux (Fedora Core 8) workstation, using odbc drivers, but it looks like I can do that only using a DSN connection and setting properly the odbc.ini file. It doesn't work, if I use a connection like this from a PHP script:
$cn = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServer;Database=MyDatabase",
"MyUser","MyPassword")
Does anyone know how to connect to SqlServer with a DSN-less connection? Could you explain me where is the error?
I'm using SQLServer2005, Fedora Core 8 with the last FreeTDS installed.
Please help!
Thanks million in advance.

Hi All,
I want to connect to SQLExpress database on the network. I can do so using code but I want to use the Data Source Configuration Wizard. It seems this only works for local instances of SQL server. Is this true?
I can connect just fine to the database on the network using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express...for what this is worth.
I have tried to map a drive to the SQL server machine and pick the mdf file but I get the error msg of network path is not supported for database files....I have turned on allow remote connections, allow tcp/ip, named pipes, added sqlserv.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my firewall exceptions ect..
I want to be able to use Table Adapters, SqlDataAdapters ect. After reading numerous forum questions/ kb articles this seems to be a common problem. I am on the verge of just saying forget it and use MS Access instead.
Thanks in advance!

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

This is the code I'm using on the web page located on the server:
Dim strConn as String
Dim conn as SQLConnection
strConn="server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=Yes;database=CIS"
conn=New SQLConnection(strConn)
conn.Open()
and the error messgae I receive is: Login failed for user 'MSP00427ASPNET'.
msp00427 is the name of the server
= = = = = = = = =
I have an MSAccess application that accesses the same database as follows with no trouble.
glblConnectString = "Driver=SQL Server;Server=msp00427;Database=CIS;Trusted_Connection=Yes"
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
cnn.Open glblConnectString
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn
cmd.CommandText = "Scorecard_Delete_ATLASDataDump"
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute
This is run on my PC and I have sa capabilities on the server.
The .NET framework is installed.
Any ideas why the data access on the web page fails?

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

I found out that I could use SQLDMO to enumerate objects in a SQL server. However, I can't connect to my server, even though I have both "windows and SQL server" authentication on "(local) Windows NT".
Here is the code (it does not contain the validation in this snippet):
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports SQLDMO
Public Class ADO_2
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected WithEvents txtQuery As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents txtresults As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents lstDB As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList
Protected WithEvents lblResult As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
Protected WithEvents cmdExecute As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected WithEvents cmdNext As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Private m_objConn As New SqlConnection()
Private m_objSQLServer As SQLDMO.SQLServer
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
EnumerateDatabases()
'TEMP
lstDB.Items.Add("Northwind")
lstDB.Items.Add("Pubs")
'END TEMP
End Sub
Private Sub Page_Unload(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Unload
m_objConn.Close() 'Just in case.....
End Sub
Private Sub cmdExecute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdExecute.Click
Dim objCommand As SqlCommand
Dim objDataReader As SqlDataReader
Dim intField As Integer
txtresults.Text = String.Empty
m_objConn.ConnectionString = "server=radu;database=" & lstDB.SelectedItem.Text & ";integrated security=SSPI;"
m_objConn.Open()
objCommand = New SqlCommand(txtQuery.Text, m_objConn)
objDataReader = objCommand.ExecuteReader
While objDataReader.Read
txtresults.Text &= vbNewLine
For intField = 0 To objDataReader.FieldCount - 1
txtresults.Text &= objDataReader(intField).ToString.PadRight(15)
Next
End While
objDataReader.Close()
objDataReader = Nothing
objCommand = Nothing
m_objConn.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub EnumerateDatabases()
On Error GoTo EnumerateDatabasesError
Dim objSQLDatabase As SQLDMO.Database
m_objSQLServer = New SQLDMO.SQLServer()
m_objSQLServer.Connect("radu")
'Iterate through all databases on the target server:
For Each objSQLDatabase In m_objSQLServer.Databases
lstDB.Items.Add(objSQLDatabase.Name)
Next objSQLDatabase
EnumerateDatabasesExit:
objSQLDatabase = Nothing
m_objSQLServer.Close()
m_objSQLServer = Nothing
Exit Sub
EnumerateDatabasesError:
lblResult.Text = Err.Number.ToString & ", " & Err.Description
Resume EnumerateDatabasesExit
End Sub
End Class
Why can't I connect with m_objSQLServer.Connect("radu") ? I also tried m_objSQLServer.Connect("radu", "", ""). Otherwise, I can connect just fine with m_objConn.Open() (after I select a db from the dropdownlist, which is for now populated by hand)....
Thanks a lot for your time.
Alex.

Does SQLServer go to sleep when it's been idle? How can I connect without an error?
I have SQLExpress on a server. Server Name is SqlExpress. I have 2 DBs on that server... Tuna & Guppy. I'm connecting to the DBs from a remote PC which runs my App... an exe created with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.
If I run my App at say 9:30PM, after the server has been idle for several hours, I get a "Can't open connection to Guppy" error, which is my error message when the connection attempt fails. If I quit & relaunch the app, it connects fine, and will continue connecting fine unless you leave the server idle for serveral hours again.
If I'm developing a 2nd app all evening... which connects to a 2nd DB...Tuna, that activity seems to keep the SqlServer awake and then launching the 1st app at 9:30PM connects to Guppy just fine.
I tried adding a "Connection Timeout=30" to my connection string but that did not help.
My connection code is as follows (note the server's name is SQLExpress):
Dim strConnG As String = "Data Source=SQLEXPRESSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Guppy;Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=30"
Using ConnG As New SqlConnection(strConnG)
'open Guppy connection
Try
ConnG.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can't open connection to guppy")
Return False
End Try
'Code that does stuff
End using
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can connect without error, even if the server has been idle?
Thank you,
Joe A

Hi
I've been trying to get DotNetNuke to connect to a SQLServer Express database but no luck. I've had no luck with info from their forums...
The connection string I'm supposed to use is:
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I just can't get it to connect to the database. Says something that remote connections are not allowed. I've done the Area thing and allowed all connection including remote connections.
Can't we use the standard string like:
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
...to connect? I'd like to setup a user and give the username and password in the connection string - real easy and non-complicated...
Any ideas or help?

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?

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.

Hi,all BI experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am having a problem with connecting to SQL Server 2005 database from Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005 (the connection string i am using is: provider=SQLOLEDB;Data source=server_name; Initial catalog=database_name). But the connection failed. Would please any experts here shed me any light on what is the problem and how to fix it then? As there is no any forum for Office Business Scrorecard manager 2005. Therefore I post my thread here as it is related to the connection to SQL Server 2005 database engine, thought here is the best place for this question.
Thank you very in advance for your kind advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
With best regards,
