Cannot Delete Database In Sql Server Express

Mar 20, 2008



Im using VS 2008 with SQL Server express and vb.net

I created a database using the VS wizard. I then needed to delete the file which i did.. a couple days later,
i wanted to create a database again with teh same name as above, but i got an error saying that it already exists.

Im assuming sql server has this database registered somewhere. How can i delete it completely?

SQL Server Express 2005 - How To Delete/drop A User Instance

May 23, 2008

Hi,

I have been working around with SQL Server Express 2005 on VISTA. I created a small C++2008 application which interface with SSE 2005. When running my application, it automatically created a user instance which I would like to get rid of. I just forgot from start to set "User Instance = False" in my connectionstring. (oups...)

I'm aware, from readings I did, that a couple of tables as well as log files, etc. are created under directory "utilisateurs...AppDataLocalMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS". SQLEXPRESS is the instance name chosen during install of SSE2005.

Also using following SQL Statement:

select owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name, heart_beat
from sys.dm_os_child_instances
I got following result:
owning_principal_name: PC-DE-STEPHANEStéphane
instance_pipe_name: \.pipe6172F4E8-622E-4A sqlquery
heart_beat: dead (at this moment...)

==> How can I make a good cleanup of all this as well as get rid of the user instance itself?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Common Table Expression (CTE):How To Delete A Wrong CTE That Is In SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)?

Feb 25, 2008

Hi all,

I ran the following CTE sql code:


Use ChemDatabase

GO

WITH PivotedTestResults AS

(

SELECT TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit,

Prim = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Primary' THEN TR.Result END),

Dupl = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Duplicate' THEN TR.Result END),

QA = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'QA' THEN TR.Result END)

FROM TestResults TR

JOIN Samples S ON TR.SampleID = S.SampleID

GROUP BY TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit

)

SELECT AnalyteName, UnitForConc,

avg1 = abs(Prim + Dupl) / 2,

avg2 = abs(Prim + QA) / 2,

avg3 = abs(Dupl + QA) / 2,

RPD1 = abs(Prim - Dupl) / abs(Prim + Dupl) * 2,

RPD2 = abs(Prim - QA) / abs(Prim + QA) * 2,

RPD2 = abs(Dupl - QA) / abs(Dupl + QA) * 2

FROM PivotedTestResults

GO

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I got the following errors:

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 9

Invalid column name 'Unit'.

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 3

Invalid column name 'Unit'.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I guess that I had "Unit" (instead of "UnitForConc"), when I executed the sql code last time!!!???
How can I delete the old, wrong CTE that is already in the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE?

Please help and advise.

Thanks in advance,

Master Data Services :: Hard Delete All Soft Delete Records (members) In Database

May 19, 2012

I am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???

Apr 16, 2007

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
 Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
 When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
 Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
 
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Import Existing Database Into SQL SERVER EXPRESS Management Studio Express

Feb 18, 2008



Hi,

I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?

Regards,

Shuja.

Deploying Multi-user Sql Express Database To SQL Express Server

Jul 10, 2007



Okay, I've read massive topics on ClickOnce, and embedded database applications, etc, etc.



I need a handful of good suggestions how I can create a deployment package, to get my sql express database onto a SQL Express server.



The database will need to be multi-user, because I am also developing a WinForms application to connect to the SQL Express database.



I'm thinking I need to use some automated scripting features, to generate scripts for the database once I am done (unless you have a better suggestion).



After that, I need to know what to do with those scripts, and how can I create a setup / deployment packages to run those scripts against a SQL Express server.



The other alterntative obviously is to copy my sql express database, and run an attach command. This will work the first time, only because this will have been the first deployment of this database.



Please keep in mind when answering this question, that I will not be embedding the database, and as far as I understand ClickOnce is a feature for use with embedded databases or user instance databases (not sure).

Why Can't I See My Web Developer Express Database From SQL Server Management Studio Express?

Apr 30, 2006

Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be?

Northwind Database In SQL Server Management Studio Express Is Lost Or Used/processed By VB 2005 Express:How To Locate/return It

Dec 3, 2007

Hi all,

In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.

The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.

How To Delete User From A SQL Server 2000 Database In SQL Server 2005?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi,

I have a database created in server 2000, and now I have moved it to server 2005.

All works do fine, but there is a user which cannot be removed.

In the user properties window, the assigned schema is empty. The user is a db_owner of the database. When I was trying to update the user, it asked me for the login. The login is empty, but the field is disabled.

So my question is, how to remove this user?

Thank you.

Add/Edit/Delete Records With Remote SQL Server 2000 Database

Dec 2, 2007

Using ASP.net 2.0 or Visual Web Developer Edition 2005 I could not find a single example with Datagrid Control or Form View Control, to achieve the basic functionality ofAdd/Edit/Delete Records with Remote SQL Server 2000 Database. When I searched for these examples I found many videos and examples using local database and in learning path of Visual web express editions, very goodexamples and videos using local SQL Server 2005 database, BUT not with the remote database.
My question Is it possible to get the basic functionality of Add/Edit/Delete Records with Remote SQL Server 2000 Database using ASP.Net 2.0 Datagrid and FormView controls?
This question looks like, a lazy developer question!! but, in my learning path I found GREAT videos in Visual Studio Web Developer Express edition and learned simple way of drag and drop the controls assign create local database and their connections, and few clicks to add/edit/delete records using datagrid and formview controls. In real life those are not much useful because many of web interfaces are with sql server 2000 and we need to convert them into ASP.Net. Similarly I wanted to drag and drop couple of controls and less coding etc. and accomplish basic functionality of add/edit/delete records using remote database sql server 2000.
If possible please help me out.
Wondering is it possible to get the functionality of add/edit/delete records using datagrid/formview with remote sql server 2000, the way they explained in bigginers learning videos ... I am referring to (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700802.aspx)
If possible and you think it is possible please guide me to that URL where I can learn the great functionalty n implement..!!

SQL Server 2012 :: Strategy To Delete / Move Millions Of Rows In A Database?

Apr 16, 2015

I am using SQL Server 2012 SE.I am trying to delete rows from a couple of tables (GetPersonValue has 250 million rows and I am trying to delete 50Million rows and GetPerson has 35 Million rows and I am trying to delete 20 million rows). These tables are in TX replication.The plan is to delete data older than 400 days old.

I tried to move data to new tables from the last 400 days and it took me like 11 hours. If I delete data in chunks of 500000 then its taking a long time to rebuild indexes(delete plus rebuild indexes 13 hours). Since I am using standard edition partition wont work.

find ddl below:

GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[GetPerson](
[GetPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[LinedActivityPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CTName] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[SNum] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[PHPrimary] [nvarchar](50) NULL,

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Delete Tables In Database Whose Table Names Match A Criteria

I tried deleting the tables in SSMS with the statement, Delete from Information_Schema.tables where substring(table_name,1,5) = 'APTMP' This returns the error message"Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed".

What is the correct way to delete a group of tables whose name match a pattern from within SSMS?

Edited Data Won't Propagate Back To The Database (VB 2005 Express && SQL Server 2005 Express)

Dec 11, 2006



Hi,

I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.

When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the

Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)

I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.

I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.

Thanks,
Ieyasu

Does it exist a way to 'import' or 'migrate' or copy' a .MDF.database into the central sql server, as if created directly in sql server express? After that, i can delete the .MDF file.

Gridview Delete Behavior Change From Beta2 In VWD Express

Nov 12, 2005

I've not been able to test this yet in full VS2005 (MS is screwed up with orders for some reason. Has anyone heard this one. All orders for less than quantity=5 were being rejected). So, instead of waiting for it I installed VWD Express. Now, the project had been built in VWD express beta 2, so no big change there.Several gridview controls in the project had <Delete> enabled. Just <Delete> mind you. Nothing else for command buttons. They all worked fine with delete queries that use gridview.selectedvalue as the parameter. Every single one stopped working since I've converted from beta 2 to RTM!Here's what I determined. The delete will only work if the row in the grid is selected first!. Otherwise <selectedvalue> is null when you click on <Delete>.Is this a bug or what?I'd be happy to supply more details. I am certain others will report this, but I have yet to find a post here or in any blogs out there that reproduce this problem in the RTM of .NET 2.0

SQL Server 2005 Express Adv. SP2 Setup Fails To Install SQL Server Database Serices Only.

Mar 26, 2007

I run setup using GUI. It upgrades all components of the existing installation w/out any problems except the last component. That is, it proceeds with the installation of SQL Server Database Serices and at the end fails to shut down the SQL Server and aborts the installation reporting the following:

"Service 'Computer_NameSQLEXPRESS' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The error code is (16386)".

I am running Windows XP SP2 with both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed on it. I am logged in as a system administrator.

The most puzzling to me things are:

- the setup starts AND STOPS w/out any problems SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server VSS Writer (thus finding enough privileges for both).

- the setup starts the SQL Server w/out any problems (thus it finds enough privileges to START A SYSTEM SERVICE) and then fails as described above 'lucking privileges".

During installation before failing the setup displays following:

"Run as Normal User. RANU instance Shutdwon in progress: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS". The "normal user" puzzles me too, unless the SQL Server itself is meant here.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can provide the installation log file as well.

Thanks.

Problem With Creating New SQL Server Database In VWDExpress Using SQL Server 2005 Express

Jul 1, 2006



I have two problems on creating new SQL server database in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express using SQL server 2005 Express.

The 1st problem: (It is resolved)

After installed SQL Server 2005 express and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I tried to create a SQL server database in VWD the following error occurred:

"connection to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL server express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251"

I was stuck with this problem for few days. I did several times of install/reinstall of VWPExpress and SQL server Express, made very sure following proper de-installation sequence as specified in the release readme. But it did not resolve the problem.

Latter I found out that if I login with another Windows XP user account, I don't get the problem.

Changing the security authority of XP file systems and IIS didn't help.

And to prove that I was doing the installation correctly, I tried a new installation of the VWDExpress with SQL server 2005 express in another machine, it worked and I could create new empty SQL database.

After 2 days of frustrating changing of options, parameters, server names, messing with the registry etc.... Finally, I found a way to overcome this problem.

The solution is:

In Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, select:

Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Data Connections,

Change the setting: "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" to "SQLEXPRESS". (where SQLEXPRESS is the default server instance name)

That solved this 1st problem.

I still don't know the exact reason for this problem. But I recalled I did installed the VWDExpress few weeks ago, I might have installed it without selecting SQL server 2005 express at that point. I guess the subsequent install/re-install did not clean up those junk in the registry.

I still have the 2nd problem:

The "Create new SQL database..." option is always grayed out when I right click on the Data connections in the "Database Explorer" tab.

I have a bypass for this difficulty for time being:

I have to do it by using the "Add connection....", put in the server name: "myserver/SQLEXPRESS" and a new database name.

Any input form anyone ? Appreciated!
