I have a problem with a user who had a sql express db on a laptop, basically they have a column(street) in a table(houses) which needs its length changing from Varchar(10) to a varchar(15).
Does anyone know how to do this via a script of some kind, the msde DB does not have query analyser but can you do it via the comand prompt?
Cheers in advance!

ps: I have a similar post in the SQL 200 Admin forum!

In step one of this Blog ,what's this mean Step 1: Create or obtain a blank SQL database instance and how do i go about doing it http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/25/423703.aspx
I am using the (SQL Express ) bellow given code to restore data from *.bak file (A backup file creater earlier by SQL backup). Some times this do not restore the data and gives error "Restore Failed". But when I change the system date to next day date then it restore data successfully.VB code used is as follow:
Dim strFileName As String Dim rstDb As New Restore Dim srv As Server srv = New Server("(local)SQLEXPRESS") Dim db As Database db = srv.Databases("mydatabase")
I've created a SQL Server Express Database that is used by an ASP.NET 2.0 application (developed using VWD Express).
I would like to be able to:
Make changes to stored procedures, views and table structures while developing/testing ASP.NET application - which, ideally, needs a SQL Server Manager Studio Express connection and Upload my application and data to a database on a network - which, ideally, needs a direct Database.mdf connection.
I know that I need to change my connection string - and am able to achieve that with ease - but I'm not sure what the best way of switching between the two ways of attaching on the database side. I keep getting logon type problems etc.
I have had visual C# Express edition for a while, and had successfully used SQL Server 2005 express successfully since it was first released. I downloaded the new version with advanced services, created a new instance, and tried to use it. VC# wont connect cause it is still trying to connect to my old instance which no longer exists. Could someone please tell me how to make my new instance the one to log on to?
I have a webform that has 2 calendars that i use to insert a dateFrom and dateTo into a sql database table that has the type smalldatetime. When i insert into the database i get yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss but i just want the yyyy-mm-dd not the time. how can i do this with my asp.net c# code? I also has a datetime.Now() that does the same thing.1 string dateNow = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(); 2 3 string myConnectionString = @"Data Source=SRVWEB02SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=strukton_se;User ID=user;Password=secret"; 4 5 SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString); 6 string myInsertQuery = "INSERT INTO jobs (name, description, contact, datePosted, dateFrom, dateTo) Values(@name, @description, @contact, @datePosted, @dateFrom, @dateTo)"; 7 SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(myInsertQuery); 8 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("name", TextBoxName.Text); 9 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("description", TextBoxDescription.Text.Replace(" ", "<br/>")); 10 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("contact", TextBoxContact.Text.Replace(" ", "<br/>")); 11 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("datePosted", dateNow); 12 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("dateFrom", Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()); 13 myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("dateTo", Calendar2.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()); 14 15 ButtonSubmit.Enabled = false; 16 17 myCommand.Connection = myConnection; 18 myConnection.Open(); 19 myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); 20 myCommand.Connection.Close(); Thanks.
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
Hi all, I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config. Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in. Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
I can get to the DB and find the user account, but I see nowhere to change the password? My app requires a password that meets Windows Security requirements and the one that was initially created is not long enough.....

I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled. Is this difference caused by some settings?
SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
I must be doing some daft thing-In Management Studio Express I have Northwind, Pubs and a db of myown.I can create SQL select queries and get results back fine but when Itry to do an insert, update or delete I get the message: (1 row(s)affected) - making me think all has gone well, however, when I refreshand look at the relevant table nothing has changed.Any tips?ps In learning the basics of SQL server, vs.net, javascript andvbscript I am often encoutnering a problem that halts me for fivehours or so but has an obvious solution 'if you know how'- I supposethis is the difference learning on your own vs in an officeenvironment- "Pete, how do you...?". I am trying to create abeneficial application under my own steam and with limited resources-are there any other sources of internet support I might not know aboutbut could use to get quick answers to sticky techie questions?D
I am new to this type of programming and and have read all articles on adding an image to the database and it seems they all use sql queries to add an image but I want to add an image at design time. I am using Visual Basic 2005. I am also using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition to try the same thing. I am trying to build a Translator program for english to Brazilian Portuguese and the reason I want to add the images is so that when I translate the word cat from english to Portuguese, I can also show an image of a cat. Can anyone please help me
We set up a few tables while being logged in as a different user. Now, those tables are not accessible via some ASP pages because they aren't DBO-owned tables. Relationships do exist on these tables, but no significant data. Is there a way to change the owner, or do I need to delete the table and start over?
I have created a table on SQL Server from SAS. The table gets created fine. However, the table schema has my user ID in it (AD-ENTmyuserid.Table1). How can I change the schema to dbo.(dbo.Table1)? It's fine if I have to make this change in SQL Server Management Studio.
What the right table setup is when you have a table with values that will never change.
I'm building a small project for our sales team so they can track their leads & customers. I have a table called "Contacts", which contains the names of every prospect they've ever reached out to. In that table is a field called "ContactTypeId", which is a reference to a table called "ContactTypes".
My ContactTypes table looks like this:
ContactTypeId | Name | Description ---------------------------------------------- 1 | Lead | A contact who has shown interest in our service 2 | Qualified Lead | A more deeply engaged, sales-ready contact 3 | Customer | A contact paying for our services
So, I set it up this way because I figured it was cleaner to associate a ContactTypeID# to each Contact in the Contacts table, rather than actually spelling out "Lead", "Customer", etc for each record in the Contacts table.
But is this right? If these values in my ContactTypes table are NEVER going to change, should I still have this table at all or is it better to just insert "Lead", "Qualified Lead", or "Customer" into the Contacts table? Just looking to take the correct approach.
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Hebrew_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
How can I change these tables to have the saem collation? I did not purposely make it different.
I am trying to change ownership of a table in my sql database to dbo. I am getting this error "Object 'UserLog' does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation." Here is my script: use ePAC EXEC sp_changeobjectowner 'UserLog', 'dbo' I checked and this is the correct spelling of this table.
I have a table which displays years (2007, 2006, 2005, etc.) as one of its fields. I need to have it display Year + " and prior" for the last row. Any thoughts on how I might do this? Thanks!
