I am interesting in knowing how to connect to database files that are not kept local to the SQL server? If you have any familiarity w/ this, can you please help me out w/ some information.
Thanks.
I have a very basic console application whose sole purpose is to query a database on the same local computer. When i run the application, i get the error message below:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'someDomainSomeUserName'.
Below is my connection string also
myconnection_string = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Reporting SystemApp_Datasafetydata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True").
After some googling, some post pointed to deleting a user folder at :
C:Documents and SettingsmyusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS
but still deleting that folder and restarting the machine doesn't help and i also have remote connections enabled. Help is really needed.
NOTE: The same application runs on a different computer with XP but fails on the Pc with windows server 2003.
Hello:I am in the middle of an asp.net 1.1 book and I ran into a problem that I can not seem to find an answer for.I am able to build an asp.net web form in Visual Studio.net and I am able to connect to my local SQL Server that is running on the same computer through Visual Studio, but when I go into build and preview my page in the browser, I get the "Error reading the database. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied." Has any one been able to connect to pubs locally, or can any one give me a suggestion to what I can try? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have created an application which uses a SQL Express database. The program runs fine on the the computer where I built the app, however when I install the app on another computer I get an error telling me that under default SQL Express does not allow remote connections. The problem is that I dont want a remote connection I want a local connection, the database file is on the commputer. How can do get my application to look for the database on the local machine.
My connection string is:
Data Source=(local)SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog="C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSADMINISTRATORPLDAQ.MDF";Integrated Security=True
I have made sure that the file is in the correct directory.
Any help would be greatly appretiated
I have Enterprise Manager on my local machine. For the last twelvemonths it has been connecting without problem to my online SQL Serverdatabase provided by my ISP.Three weeks ago the ISP applied some sort of extra securityarrangements to their SQL Server to allow access only through port1433. they have told me to configure an alias using Network Client andto register this alias in the usual way using my Enterprise Manager.My problem is that despite creating the alias in exactly the wayinstructed I just cannot connect to online database. I keep gettingthe SQL Server does not exist or access denied when I try to connect.As a result of advice obtained I have tried using the lite version ofthe 'littleADmin' tool available fromhttp://www.mylittletools.net/scripts/en/mla_sql/Using this useful looking software I find I cannot connect to theonline SQL database when it is installed on my own local machine butif I install it on my website it does connect without problem to myonline SQL. Server databaseHowever I need to use my more powerful Enterprise Manager to connect,my question (at last!) is:1. Is there likely to be a problem trying to connect to my onlinedatabase from Enterprise Manager on my local machine as a result ofthe new security arrangements. In other words, is there somethinganalagous to what is happening with the 'littleAdmin tool' wherebyusing Enterprise Manager I cannot connect from my local machine forsome reason obvious to everyone except myself??or2. Is it possible that there is some problem arising from Net Client?(the aliases appear in Enterprise Manager OK)I know my ISP should be answering this sort of question but they justdon't seem to know. I need to connect even if only to download mydatabase and take it to another ISP,Best wishes, John Morgan

Hi all,
I have the developer edition of Visual Studio 2005. After successfully installing it in my local machine, I wanted to create a small application which connects to a database. I accessed the Server Explorer tool, right clicked on Data Connections and brought up the Create New SQL Server Database option.
The issue now is that I don't see a list of servers in the "Server Name" drop down box although in the Server Explorer itself, I have a server listed (your-c6b5e4eabc - The default computer name of my local machine).
I am given to believe that SQL server is unable to make a connection because I have not configured something which is essential.
I hope someone can point me as to how to make databases using SQL server and connect them to the application the way developers usually do. I'm a complete novice to VS 2005, and the SQL server configuration options have got me confused.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I'll include this here anyway :
When I tried copying and pasting the server name (your-c6b5e4eabc) into the "Server Name" drop down box and creating a database by entering a name in the "Enter database name" textbox, I get the following error message -
An error occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings, SQL server does not allow remote connections. provider : Named Pipes Provider error : 40 Error : Could not open a connection to SQL Server.
I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition v2002 SP 2.
I just want to be able to create and work with databases from within the applications I create in Visual Studio 2005. I played around with the configuration options (like enabling some protocols, the SQL server browser etc., but to no avail.) Is there a way to revert back to the default settings in an easy way? Thanks in advance for all your guidance...
I'm totally a newbie here. I just installed everything on my PC. When I tried to connect to the local server(on my computer), I got this error. I guess I'm totally lost at the message of the red characters since all I try to do is to connect to the local server. CORPLLIDA1 is the name of my computer. Can anyone help me here? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm tearing my hair out over the basics when I should be spending time learning ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I've searched the archives and a lot of people seem to be getting the same error as me, but when trying to connect from remote machines.
I'm getting what seems to be a standard message ...
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I'm not trying to connect remotely, I'm on my developer machine. The error comes up when trying to connect from within VS2005 (Tools, Connect to Database). It also comes up if I create a new web-site and go to the ASP.NET configuration tool (this is, I guess, trying to create the necessary database behind the scenes but is unable to connect to the database).
I suspect the error might be related to one or more of the following ...
September last year I installed VS2005 Express and SQL*SERVER Express. Both were fully un-installed when I bought VS2005 Professional before installing the new product.
When I set up SQL*SERVER 2005 Developer I remember choosing an option to have a separate user on my PC with administrative rights. Actually I don't recall much about what I chose but I can't find out where those permissions are managed from.
I've followed various instructions to check that remote access is enabled (despite the fact that I'm local, not remote). TCP and Named Pipes are both enabled (and I stopped then restarted SQL Server). I've checked that the service is started.
The odd thing is that I have had an application connect with the following string ...
SSLCon = new SqlConnection(@"Server=(local)SSLMJ;Integrated Security = True;" + "Database=SSLTESTRESULTS");
Though the application connection seems to work ok, I think I'm missing out lots of developer functionality because I can't get VS2005 to see the database or server.
Help ?
Hi,
I just installed SQL Server for the first time on a windows 2003 OS which is on its on server. Then, I installed the client tools on my local computer. Now how do I connect to the sql server with my client tools? What I wanted to do is from my local computer use the enterprise manager and pull up the databases that are located on the server that contains the sql server.
Thanks a bunch,
Laura ;)
First time I've tried doing this - I have SQL Server 2012 installed on my local machine with an instance running (which was set up under an administrator account, not mine, which has no admin rights), and I'm trying to create a linked table from Access (also on the local machine) to a table on the server.
I tried creating a DSN using Windows Authentication, using the server name which is the same as my computer name, and got the error "Error 18452, Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication".
I then created a SQL authentication user ID and password, and tried the same thing using that instead, and got "Login failed for user <myusername>"
Is there some particular setting on the local instance I need to change to allow this kind of connection, or do I need to use something other than the server name to connect, such as an IP address? Remember that I have no admin access on this machine so any solution would have to avoid requiring that.
Hello!I'm migrating an IIS/SQL-Server application from Windows NT4.0 and SQL-Server 2000 to Windows 2003 Server and SQL-Server 2005.My problem is that it is not possible to connect local (IIS and SQL-Server 2005 are runnng on the same node) using ODBC.

Hi all,
I'm currently running a SQL Server 2005 setup (or so I believe) to use Windows Authentication. When I load Management Studio, the following popup box appears:
Server Type (greyed out): Database Engine
Server Name: Thor
Authentication: Wndows Authentication
U/N and P/W: greyed out
I can connect to my databases using PHP by specifying 'Thor' as my DB host, the DB name and then the username and password of a user I created.
The problem is that I cannot connect to my local server using EMS Data Export 2005 for SQL Server. I can use it to connect to a remote SQL DB on our web server but if I try to connect locally, it generates an error saying that the 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied'.
Does anyone have any experience with connecting to a local SQL server? I'm assuming that I need to setup my server to allow for external connections or something but I'm in the dark on the matter.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks.
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).

When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.

In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

Not sure if this is the right place for my question but here goes anyway.
I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 installed on my DEV PC. A colleague of mine wants to access my server from his machine which connected to the same network.
I logged on to SSMS and added him as a new login.
Will he be able to connect to it now or do I have to do more than just that?
Your help would be appreciated.

I am at the stage of architecting my solution

There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication

Hi all
I have SQL 2000 SP4 running on a W2K server SP4.
The server acts as a subcriber and publisher and acts as its own distributor.
Each publication uses its own distribution agent and is set to loop.
There are 4 queued updating subscriptions on this box.
When running 3rd party tools to determine open active ports, the replication executables (distrib and logreader) are connecting to local server multiple times. Easily 15+ established connections plus many more waits.
Everything connects to 1433 then opens a new port.
Is this because of the queued updating?
Replication is functioning as it should without any problems.
I even checked our 2 main distribution servers which only act as distributors and there is not one connection from replication to itself.
Any insight would be appreciated
Thx

Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.
Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?
Please help a newbie

Hi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.
