Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL Server From Compact Framework 2.0
Mar 14, 2008
I have two instances of SQL Server on the same PC:
Default instance: SQL Server 2000
Named instance with name €œMS2005€?: SQL Server 2005.
Also I have another SQL Server 2005 on another PC.
I created a .NET 2.0 Compact Framework application that connects to the database and executes simple query. This application can connect to any instance of the SQL Server when it is executed on the PC (not on the server). But the problem is that when I try to execute the application from the windows CE 5.0 device, the application can only connect to the default instance (SQL 2000 and 2005) and can not connect to the named instance (Name: MS2005).
Is it some kind of limitation of the SqlClient library for the compact framework?
End Sub this code worked well. we know sql7 is not compatiable with vista. please tell us how to connect it wiith sql2005 . we downloaded orcas express edition beta. we created a database also. please let u know how to connect with Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 (.NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5).
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
We have 3x instances of SQL Server 2012 installed on a single remote server - there's the default MSSQLSERVER instance, then INSTANCE01 and INSTANCE02. I can remotely connect to the default MSSQLSERVER instance through SSMS, but I cannot connect to either of the additional named instances (INSTANCE01 or INSTANCE02).Â
For example, if I try to connect to "sql.domain.com", I can successfully access the default instance on the remote server. If I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01", I get an error stating
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server".
However - if I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01, 49301" (where 49301 is the TCP Port for the TCP/IP Protocol for this SQL Server instance), I am able to successfully connect.
This leads me to think that there's a communication issue with the SQL Server Browser service running on the remote SQL Server and my workstation.Â
The following items have been verified:
SQL Server Browser is running on the remote SQL ServerWindows Firewall has been disabled on the SQL ServerTCP Ports 1433, 1434, 1954, and 49301 have been opened up on the remote destination's firewallUDP Port 1434 has been opened up on the remote destination's firewall.
I am trying to setup a client alias to connect to a named instance on another server.

I have set up the alias on the server and as expected it works. On the client side I have used the SQL Server Client Network Utility to configure the client side alias but no luck
I am using TCP/IP with a specific port ..
By the way the SQL is SQL Server 2012 Ent and the O/S is Windows 2012 R2 minshell
Hi, I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005. Something with the named instance is problematic.
Hi- I am hoping someone can help me or shed some light on an issue I am having. I have recently moved to a dedicated server with MSDE installed on it. The server was installed as the default instance and I changed the password to the SA account. I then copied my entire SA database over to the new MSDE database and everything was working good so it seemed. I believe at some point during copying of the data, or after installalling an application the SA account begain to fail and the password was changed. I have no idea how this happened, and better yet when I tried to change it logged in as the administrator with OSQL it told me I did not have sysadmin rights (I tried multiple Windows NT Auth logins and still got this error trying to change the password). So... I reinstalled MSDE and created a named instane. I then attached the mdf/ldf files to my named instance and am able to connect ok from a .NET application directly to my new MSDE Named Instance database. Sounds like everything is great right? Not really, I can't figure out how to connect through enterprise manager and its driving me CRAZY! 1. I CAN connect via any .NET app and a connection string 2. I CAN connect via the server with OSQL 3. I CAN connect via the web based enterprise manager (which is very limited and a freeware ASP app). 4. I CANNOT connect via enterprise manager. I have verified from the (SVRNETCN.EXE utility) that the port is open and have tried connecting to MY_IPADDRESSNAMEDINSTANCE but no luck. One additional side note, when I wasn't using a named instance I had no problems connecting through enterprise manager to my default MSDE instance. Any help would be grealy appriciated, this is driving me nuts! -Chad
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamics FINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message.A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
I'm trying to configure a named instances of SQL Server 2012 SP2 to have specific IP addresses and listen to that IP on port 1433. Alongside this, I have the default instance running on a different IP and listening to that on port 1433.I've managed to get them configured so that they are reachable using the IP, and looking at the log for each they are listening correctly on that IP on port 1433; in addition, the default instance connects fine using the SERVERNAME.However, when I try and connect to the named instance using the SERVERNAME/INSTANCENAME syntax, I receive the following:-
"Cannot connect to SERVERINSTANCE. Instance failure. (System.Data)"
Configuration for the TCP/IP protocol for that instance is as follows:-
Protocol Tab
Enabled= Yes Keep Alive = 30000 Listen All = No
IP addresses Tab
IP1 Active = Yes Enabled = Yes IP Address = 10.1.1.1 TCP Dynamic Ports = 0 TCP Port = 1433
[code]...
The SQL Browser service is running and prior to switching off Listen To All, I could connect to the instance remotely using the instance name.

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
I have recently downloaded Orcas beta VS product and had no previous version of VS before. The install went clean and I have been able to generate Window apps and web apps with very little issues; however, I have one issue with running a web app using the "view in browser" option for checking an aspx page for validity. If I use the default Northwind database provided and generate an aspx form using the "DataSet" toolbox widget, the tool prompts for the datasource etc. required to generate the required code. I can select the Northwind database and select the desired columns from one of the tables. Once completed, I build the project (clean build) and then select the "view in browser" option to verify the results. The result is an error page indicating a server error -> Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
I created on odbc connection to an iSeries(as400) box and was successfull in displaying the table on the webpage! I looked into the web.config file and it appears that all the required XML data is present. Any help would be appreciated as I am fairly green when it comes the .NET world.
you can, with a dataset do something like myDataSet.WriteXml(m_XmlFile, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema) and get XML for a record.... is it possible to do something like that with SQLserverCeresultset? i know i could probably loop thru the columns and create the xml manually... but using somethinglike writexml will give better performance? right now im not using anything from the XML class... from my previous exp with using XML classes on the Compact framework gives slow performance...
I am aware of the many posts that have addressed this issue in the past - I resolved this issue many months ago when it first happened to me. However, I have recently created a headless version of my Windows CE 6.0 based project that uses the Headless versions of the Compact Framework and this problem has suddenly re-surfaced. As in my UI equipped versions, the SQL CE cab files are copied to the device and have been installed. I have also tried copying the sqlceme35.dll to the application folder. The only real difference I can see is that the device is using the headless version so I suspect that there may be some incompatibility.
Has anyone successfully deployed a SCQL CE aplication to a headless device and if so were there any special steps that had to be taken to make it work?

M doing PDA Project in Vb.net Compact framework [ CF ]. In tht I need to do synchronization My PDA's database with Desktop Computer's database manually. So Plz Suggest me some options ..... One of them I know & Its RAPI.. --> "RAPI allows desktop based applications to talk with CE devices while they're connected to the desktop via ActiveSync".
but M confused regarding ActiveSync Bcoz i want to do it Manually.
How can I tell if the System.Data.SqlServerCe assembly I am referencing is meant for Desktop use as opposed to Compact development? We are using NUnit as our testing framework and I get the following error when I attempt to execute nunit-console on my test fixture referencing SqlServerCe:
System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) ---->

The unit tests run fine from inside of Visual Studio using the Resharper Unit Test Runner...
Thanks for Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 that make the security much stronger. However, besides the invisible benefit so far, I have become the victim of this security policy.
I have several named instances of SQL 7/2000 installed in my machine. They are not visible out of the Microsoft new fire wall. I need to access the instances from outside the fire wall, but I don't know which port I should open for the instances.
From SQL online, the default instance of SQL server is connected through TCP/IP by default port 1433. I could successful open that port and made the default instance visible to outside. However, the port 1433 doesn't work for the named instances. SQL online said, the port for named instance is dynamically (by default) chosen the first time the instance is started. So, actually, I have no way to know the port.
Is there anyway that I can check the database or somewhere to get the port that is used by the named instance?
I have a java compiled jar file, which accept the connection string as follows: -Uusername -Ppassword -Sservername:port
This string works fine with the default instance of SQL Server, I mean as long as you supply the name of the SQL Server as 'SQLServer', but if I want to run it against the named instance of SQL Server like 'SQLSERVERNamedInstance' then the connection is failing, giving me the unknown host error. Any idea why?
We have installed SQL 2000 SP4 on Windows 2000 Server. We created named instances on the SQL server. When trying to connect to named instances from a remote sql client which is on windows 2000 and windows 2003, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled. But, remote connections are enabled on the SQL server. After changing the component services settings on windows 2003 where sql client is installed, we are able to connect to named instances. But, after applying the same settings on another windows 2003 machine, we are unable to connect to the same instances.
We have another machine where we installed SQL 2005 on windows 2003 SP1. When trying to connect to named instances from any remote client, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled. But, remote connections are enabled in SQL server settings. We tried connecting to the instances by changing the component services settings but still we are facing the same issues.
Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
I am trying to access my SQL Server database through SqlCeConnection:

I am trying to perform a distributed query however have a situation I haven't dealt with before the linked server I add to do the query is a named instance (DVD_NASDOMINO). How would I specify this in a query as in the FROM part in a sql statement. I tried the obvious DVD_NASDOMINO.qlsdat.dbo.stmenqry and DVD_NAS.DOMINO.qlsdat.dbo.stmenqry. Both returned errors in the query.
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection. Has anyone ran into similar problems? Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?
I have opened up a port on a remote SQL instance and can see that the port is LISTENING when using the PortQry tool. I have also set the TCP port in the TCP/IP properties in the IPAll section for that instance, yet I am unable to connect and get an error of
Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=1; handshake=14998; (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have done this on other instances, although they were default instances, and it has always worked fine.
I have TWO named SQL Server instances (on the same machine) and I need to know the port of each of them, how can I do that? Is it write to check the following:
Which one to take: "TCP Dynamic Ports" or "TCP Port"? and what is the difference between them anyways?Â
Can the two instances (or more)Â on the same machine use the same port?!
