ClickOnce Path Names Are Too Long For SQL Server Express Identifiers

May 11, 2006

I'm posting this in the ClickOnce forums as well...

My application doesn't include the .mdf and .ldf files, rather it creates the database the first time the application is run using a script that is included in the build. I want to create the database in the ClickOnce data directory. The problem I'm having is that SQL Server complains when I execute the CREATE DATABASE command as follows:



CREATE DATABASE [C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DataiFieldMobile.mdf] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'myDatabase', FILENAME = N'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DatamyDatabase.mdf' , SIZE = 3136KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'myDatabase_log', FILENAME = N'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DatamyDatabase_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
END

Here's the error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException "The identifier that starts with 'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.00' is too long. Maximum length is 128."

ClickOnce For SQL Express Database?

Jul 19, 2006

I'm working on an app in Visual Studio 2005 that needs to have installed locally SQL Express to handle its own data.

This app is in a strong upgrading process. I've been using clickonce to publish the app and let my users upgrade automatically (by the way this works amazing ...).

Yet many times changes to the DB are made. Is there a simple way to upgrade their local SQL Express DB like click once does with the app?

Thanks.

SQL Express On Vista With ClickOnce

Feb 7, 2007

SQL Express CTP 2 provides a checkbox that will enrol the user installing the software as a database administrator. If the user fails to check this box, they run as an ordinary user, and hence are not allowed to perform functions such as create database.

In the process of deploying an application via ClickOnce, if SQL Express is not present it will be installed automatically. Also, in the process of deploying a ClickOnce application, we should usually expect to need to create a new database. Currently, if the user takes the default install of SQL Express they will not be a database administrator and will not be able to create the database. The installation will thus fail.

Is anything being done with SQL Express for ClickOnce applications deploying to Vista that will allow us to automatically enrol the user installing SQL Express as a database administrator?

SQL Server 2012 :: View To Concatenate File / Path Names Back To Root Directory?

Sep 25, 2014

We have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root

Below is a sample:

Id Name IdParent
1 C: NULL
2 D: NULL
3 ProgramFiles 1
4 DataFiles 2
5 Excel.EXE 3
6 MyDataList.CSV 4

iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.

I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.

Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)

The end result of my view on the above data should return:

Id FilePath
5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE
6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)

Deploying SQL Express Database Files With ClickOnce App Using OLE

Jan 18, 2008



I've written a ClickOnce app that deploys a Sql Server Express data file (.mdf) and log file (.ldf) along with the other application files. SQL Express SP2 is a prerequisite for this app. After the applicaiton installs and starts up it copies these files to a specific folder and attaches them by calling the AttachDatabase() method of a Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object.

This method works fine using Windows XP, however when I run it on Windows Vista I get the following exception:

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Attach database failed for Server 'localhostSQLEXPRESS'. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:WashMasterDatabasewasshmaster.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".

This exception occurs when I try to programmatically attach the database.

I've searched through the MSDN forums for a solution and I've only found two suggestions:

1.) Create all database connections using a User Instance.
2.) Create the database (using SQL) in the target folder, rather than copying it over from the deployment folder.

I don't like the idea of using User Instances because my entire data access layer is currently written using Ole and I would rather not rewrite it if I don't have to. I cannot find any way to use User Instances with Ole.

I also don't like the idea of creating the database using SQL because it is fairly large.

Here are my questions:

1.) Can User Instances be used with Ole?

2.) Can I somehow programmatically set the permissions of the copied data and log files so that SQL Express can access them without error?

3.) Is there a better method for doing what I'm trying to do or am I destined to have to either rewrite in data access layer so I can use User Instances or create my large database rather than copy it to the target directory?

Thanks.

Find People Names In Long Text

Feb 14, 2007

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
Thanks once again for taking the time.
Cheers,
Tyro

Long Memory Grant Queue Waits In SQL Server Express SP2 Causes Slow Queries

Sep 10, 2007



I have a 2GHZ cpu with 1GB of RAM. I occassionally see very slow (long) queries against a local SQL Server 2005 Express (SP2) database. The issue occurs against different SQL Queries, but all queries are rather basic select statements Perfmon shows that the SQL Server counter for the "MEMORY GRANT QUEUE WAIT Avg MS" gets extremely high (25000+ ms). Perfmon also also shows that PAGING is not occuring, and the system is not under unsual stress. The problem is not reproducible with MSDE.

Has anyone seen this issue, or have any recommendations for a next course of action?

Quoted Identifiers In A CSV

Sep 26, 2006

There have been some posts on the difficulties of handling csv with quoted identifers.

I heard there were some custom components that aid in dealing with these as input files.

IYO, what do you consider to be the best way to deal with csv with quoted identifiers as an input to an ETL operation?

Also, if you know of any bloggers making quality (hopefully free) custom components?

Thanks!!

DB Mirroring: Different Server Names With Same Instance Names

Jan 31, 2008

I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?

For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.

Thanks!

Problems Deploying Express Database App In Common App Data Path

Jan 28, 2008

Hello,
I would like to deploy a per-machine Express database as part of my VS2005 C# desktop application. The deployment must work with both XP and Vista from the same setup files. I'm not using One-Click installation. I don't want my users to have to configure Express with the Surface Area Configuration tool.

Since the database cannot go in C:Program Files because of Vista ACL issues, I am using COMMONAPPDATACompanyNameAppName as the install path for the database and other user writable application files. In XP this expands to C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataCompanyNameAppName and in Vista it is C:ProgramDataCompanyNameAppName. Neither of these paths have write privileges for unprivileged users, so the install program needs to change the write permissions at install time. Right now I am using SetACL ( http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ ), to do that and the install goes fine with write permissions on the companyName folder and it's children for all users.

But I can't connect to the mdf file in my COMMONAPPDATACompanyNameAppName folder. If I am the administrator/installer it works fine, but as an unprivileged user I get different errors, but mostly "Could not login user ...". For debugging, I have also tried installing the database in the "AppFolder" directory (which for my app in both Vista and XP is C:Program FilesCompanyNameAppName) and using "User Instance=true" in the connection string, and the connection is made but (at least on XP) the unprivileged user cannot write to the database because the folder lacks write privileges for that user.

I suppose one thing I could do would be to change the folder/file permissions in the AppFolder, but I am reluctant to do that because I have read that Microsoft does not guarantee that the "Compatibility" feature in Vista for the Program Files directory will be available in future releases/service packs.

So is there a way to do a simple installation/db connection for a per-machine database located in a COMMONAPPDATA path?

Thanks for your help.

Express Edition SP2 - How Long To Wait For Complete Installation?

Mar 19, 2007

Just curious if there's a reason why everytime I try to apply the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 from Windows Update that it will sit at "Installing" and appear to do nothing (no hard drive activity, but the MSI and setup processes are chewing a little bit of CPU time). How long should I give this update to complete? I am running a 2-CPU dual-core Xeon 3.0GHz w/ 2GB of RAM setup, so I would have thought it would be completed very quickly. :(

Edit:

Disregard; I had to wait for a full 15 minutes! :O

Deploy With Clickonce

Dec 23, 2007

Question about deploying a SQL compact database with Clickonce. Deploying the first time is straightforward and that works OK but I am not so sure about consequent releases, how do I deal with the that?
If I mark the file as dont deploy that will, of course, work fine for those that have installed the first release but not for thoses that havent.
What about if I make a change to the database, adding a table for example. How do I go about that? I obviously dont want to loose any of the existing data?

Thx and Happy Christmas to all

Server Names Or Instance Names

Aug 3, 2006

Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.

The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.

Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.

Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?

Thank you

Subject: BCM Install Error - Logfile &&amp; SQL Path Path &&amp; MSSQL.1?

Apr 16, 2008

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..

Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?

When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?

How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.

Thank you!

ClickOnce Private Installation Issue

May 12, 2007

I'm working on a VB.Net 2005 application that uses SQLCE as a backend database.

Following the instructions on how to do a private installation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219482.aspx) so that admin rights were not needed, I successfully got it working as a ClickOnce deployment. But today during a demo for a client, they ran into this error while installing the latest version from our publishing URL:

"Unable to install or run the application. Application requires that assembly System.Data.SQLServerCe version 9.0.42 .... must be installed in the Global Assembly Cache."



Basically it's saying the user isn't an admin so they can't install. This is the problem I went to great lengths to try to avoid, and is the reason we are using SQL CE in the first place: admin rights are not required to install our application's database. To our knowledge, SQL CE is the only Microsoft product that fits this scenario.

Now, I haven't changed anything in the publishing of the application to my knowledge, and when I check the project prerequisites, the SQLCE engine still isn't in there (as summarized at the above URL). Again following the instructions at the URL above for private installation, the required assemblies are still part of the project's files.

It must be something I did to cause this, but I have no memory of changing anything in regards to this part of the application. Our deadline is in 4 days and I cannot continue development until I get past this issue.

Where do I look to fix this problem? A little help would be greatly appreciated.

How Do I Clean Up Database Deleted By ClickOnce With T-SQL?

May 12, 2006

I posted this in the SQL Server Express forum as well...

My app deployed via ClickOnce. It ships with a database creation script which creates the database in the ClickOnce data directory. Upon uninstall, the entire data folder is deleted successfully. But if you then reinstall the app, SQL Server Express still thinks the database exists. Right now, to get a re-install to work, I have to go into Management Studio Express, click on the db (get an pop-up error as the physical db file is no longer there) and then click delete.

So my question is... what system proc should I execute in the db creation script before I run the CREATE DATABASE command?

Compacting A SQL CE Database Programmatically In A ClickOnce Application

May 12, 2008



I'm trying to compact a SQL CE database programmatically. I've copied the code from MSDN, and it's fine as far as it goes, but there's a problem tying to compact a database in a ClickOnce application because you don't know the path to the database. You have to use the "|DataDirectory|" in your connection string to signify the path to the database. But when I try the file operations to replace the old database with the compacted version, I get an error message that the path "|DataDirectory|" is not valid. Here's the code:


SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine("Data Source = " + src + "; Password =" + txtPassword.Text);

try

{


engine.Compact("Data Source = " + dest + "; Password =" + txtPassword.Text);

ShowMsg("Compacting...", MsgType.NoError);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{


MessageBox.Show("There was an error completing the operation: " + ex.Message);

}

engine.Dispose();

File.Delete(src);

File.Move(dest, src);



(dest is = src + ".tmp", i.e., a path to a tmp file to hold the database while compacting).

How do I locate the files to copy if I can't use "|DataDirectory|"?

Help With Connection String After Clickonce Install From Visual Studio 2005

Apr 7, 2008

I have a sql express .mdf that is located in c:appdirectorymydb.mdf whilst developing an application. During development my connection string uses the above path to connect to the db. e.g.

"server = .sqlexpress; Integrated Security=True; database=C:appdirectorymydb.mdf"

I have published the app using click once in visual studio.net which places the db in : C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameLocal SettingsApps2.0DataJN1WL1DJ.X7B ... 08ed2810aab2abData


When i am executing the application following a clickonce install, what should I use in my connection string for the path to the db ? or where can I find the above path (e.g. in the registry) so that I can provide it to the connection string ?


Alternatively, can I specify where the DB is going to be installed (via click once). e.g. in my app directory under program files ?

I have tried searching what seems like everywhere for a solution to this problem and as a last resort thought it worth posting the question.

Many thanks in advance.

Simon
