As of right now I have two networked machines. I have a sql database on one that I have no problem connecting to, but I cannot connect to the database from the second machine.
From the second machine, I've come up with this connection string after all my research...
"server=[MACHINE_NAME]SQLExpress;databse=[NAME];User ID = sa;Password=[PASS]"
I keep getting a cannot connect to database error.
Any ideas?
Migrating a site to a new server. Moved data to SQLExpress. Changed connection string to point to SQLExpress and now I am getting this error.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Cannot open database "PHCSQL" requested by the login. The login failed.
/func/inc_DatabaseFunctions.inc, line 5 Do I need to do permissions differently than MSDE?Did connection strings change?Help?
hi,i'm using classic asp to try and connect to a sqlexpress database on a development server. i get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
/dbtest.asp, line 8
I'm using the following script which runs fine against a regular SQL server (version 8) on the network.
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%>
<%
var strCon, conn, sql;
strCon = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=rapidHB;User Id=rapid;Password=xxx";
conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
conn.Open(strCon);
sql = "SELECT product_code FROM products WHERE product_type = 1";
var results= conn.Execute(sql).GetString();
Response.write(unescape(results));
%>
I have tried changing Data Source to servernameSQLEXPRESS, changing initial catalog to master, using a user name defined on the database and changing the provider to SQLNCLI but nothing has worked.
Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? Using ASP.Net is not an option.

Hi all,
I'm getting this error message from the ASP.NET configuration manager in VS 2005 Pro:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have no problem connecting using the sql server management studio tool.
I need help ASAP, can't afford the down time.
Thanks,
Andy
How do I connect to the SQLEXPRESS installed on my computer without network connection (as a standalone computer)?
Thanks.
Hi
I have started to create a databse using SQL Server Management Studio Express, just a few tables, one with data. I now want to creat a some windows forms to populate the tables. However when I try to use the Add New Data Source wizard, I get an error when I try to create the connection string, but I have managed to connect to a copy of AdventureWorks located in the same parent directory.
Error is :
Unable to open the physical file "...". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
An attemp to attach an auto-named database for file ... failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
As I can connect to AdventureWorks, I presume Windows thinks the file is open, but I have no idea why, how to check, or how to close it.
TIA

Hi
I have a problem with sqlexpress
I'm using sqlexpress 2005 with asp.net 2 and all things work in my computer good
but when i upload it on the internet in my host it return this error :

and then upload my mdf and ldf files to the app_data folder
Hello all,
I've been trying to find an answer to this to no avail. I'm not even sure if its possible. I like to do development at home in addition to work, like most of you do. Since it is my home computer, I like to play games, so I try to keep applications to a minimum. I would like to install sqlexpress on a virtual machine (which I have successfully done), and I can connect to it via Management Studio on my local machine (non-vm). Is there a way to set visual studio to use this connection as opposed to local host? I really do not want to load sqlexpress on my local machine and have yet another thing tying up system resources.
Your feedback is appreciated.

I can't start SQLEXPRESS.
The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".
Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?

Hi All,
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Can anybody help me out .

Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?
Hi All,I've been struggling with this for hours...Could someone please advise me on how to convert my current File based SQL Server Express website to a Server based SQL Express one.Particularly interested in what I need to do in the SQL Express management tool, changes I need to make the projecvt itself and changes needed to get IIS to understand things have been changed.Thanks,Martin.

Hi
I am new to this forum .
I am running through few problems for sqlserver account settings .
I) My registery key entry for MSSQLserver just has a client folder .
2) My sql server configuration manager just has
sqlserver 2005 services , native client configuration and 2005 network configuration.
I can't see any server name or databases under it.
3)I normally work on EMS lite so I can see my ./SQLEXPRESS as server and databases under it and i can create logins etc ..I assigned db_owner role to one of my recent created database.
but when I try to connect it says :
The user is not associated with sqlserver connection.
5) i have sqlserver express service running, vss and sql server browser running.
I googled and searched for the solution and it says the authentication mode should be turned to mix mode form win authentication.
But from where. Have i missed some installation .I am able to connect to my other database from EMS.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hello,I am just getting reaquainted with programming and all. I work in GIS mapping and am having diffilculty using a ASP.net internet Map site and adding records to a needed database.I would like to be able to add records to a linked SQLExpress table when the user clicks on a map location. I adapted the following code snippet from an example that does what I would like only using an .mdb file.CODE: // create connection to database var connection; connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); connection.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=OutdoorsExp;Data Source=NOLOGOSQLEXPRESS;"); status = "Can't access 'FishSQL' table."; // create recordset var recordset; recordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"); recordset.CursorType = 1 recordset.LockType = 3; recordset.Open("dbo.FishTable", connection); status = "Can't append new record."; // append record for clicked location recordset.AddNew(); recordset.Fields("LongitudeI").Value = xco; recordset.Fields("LatitudeI").Value = yco; recordset.Update(); recordset.Close(); // release the .mdb file connection.Close();However, this does not add anything to the SQLEx table. What am I missing? I am thinking that it might have something to with the primary key.I had a table with way more columns then just lat/longs (as above) but only coded it to add data to the latitude and longitude fields. Nothing got added of course. Would have to add data to every field that doesnt allow nulls.How do I generate a random, unique ID for a primary key on the fly and for example add it to the appropriate column.Thanks you in adavnce for any insights.

also, in order to use sqldependency do i have to enable broker service?
thanks.
Ok it seems to me that if you use the ms recommended code to connect your apps using the app_data folder etc, that the dbs never show up in the SQLExpress manager.So I can't back them up like I can databases I connect to SQLExpress the 'old fashioned way'. Only 2 out of 6 dbs are visible in SQLExpress manager.What is the proper way to do this?Thanks,Jamey

I know this isn't exactly SQL help, but I alwasy get great help here and thought someone might know why I'm having problems. I'm trying to map to a drive where I have a SQLExpress database on another computer within a workgroup. This is the cmd line I'm using...
NET USE * \XPPRO1SQLExpress /USER:Admin /SAVECRED /PERSISTENT: YES
I'm thinking the problem is with the * (which names the new drive with the next available letter), or that I have to use a password. Everything I've found says nothing about specifying a password though.
The error message I get says "A command was used with conflicting switches."
I just reinstalled SQLExpress and all the dbs that I created are no more linked. The files still exist in the folder where the current version stores dbs (...Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData) but they are not "linked" (don't know the right term).
Is there anybody who could help me how to "relink" these dbs to the actual .SQLExpress instance?
Thank you very much for any help!

I have finish building my ASP.NET site using VS 2005 and it compile just fine. Than I try hosting it to the web via IIS v5.1 and I am getting permission error from SQL express.
I have posted a detail question in experts-exchange.com and since you need a user account to even view the thread, I have taken the liberty to save the thread as .html file and host it to my ISP site. You can see the detail problem I am having here: http://users.accesscomm.ca/mm/EEdetail.html
I am going to list out some stuff I have done:
1. I have two database that need access, the ASPNETDB.mdf for user login and another database (PhotoDataBase.mdf) to store information relating to the photo I uploaded to my ASP.NET site.
2. I have already follow this How to site: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx and setup:
- TCP/IP enable, as shown here:
- I have started SQL Browser service
- The firewall part I am not so sure about. I am currently using Zonealarm....
3. I have installed SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) and attach the two database to it.
4. I have set SSMSE server properties to accept both SQL and window authentication.
5. I have made sure that both database "read only" setting to false
6. I have setup SQL login with User ID = SQLLOGIN

<add name="ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|Da
taDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and here is the new connection I just type in web.config that replace the original one:
<add name="ConnectionString"

I am a novice at working w/SQL and am trying to learn on my own... I download SQLExpress and installed it. However, I received a warning message that Internet Information Systems was not installed or enabled. I checked cpanel and it was not there. Figured out that I needed to check the windows components and attempted to enable it. I was asked for my XP Pro discs (which I can't find of course) in order to load admxprox.dll. How can I get a copy of that file so I can move forward???
