Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000
Nov 15, 2007
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

I am working on a C# stored procedure for SQL 2005, and i've uncovered a couple questions.
First a description of the procedure:
I have a series of equations taking place to calculate a score based on activities in which the user participated in, that will give them an over all grade or rating. The calculations currently take place in the database, and I am moving this from T-SQL to C# CRL.
1. In order to connect the stored procedure to the database I use a SqlConnection and a SqlCommand to execute either dynamic sql or a stored procedure to return data to a data reader. Is there an easier way to connect to the database? In SSMS if i open up the query it knows what database i am connected to. Do I have to make a sql connection in C# stored Procedures?
2. I have multiple functions within the main C# Stored Procedure that I'm working on. This ends up requiring Multiple Active Recordsets. I must set this withing the connection string. Seeing as I'm using a named instance of SQL 2005, I now must put the userid, password, and server name into the code. Is there a more secure way to connect to SQL Server in a C# Stored procedure that allows MARS?
3. I encryped the connection string, and put it into the assembly, I wrote a decryption class, and in the procedure itself everytime I need to refrence the connection string, I call it, decrypt it, and pass it along. But my code to decrypt the connection string is in the compiled DLL, if the server was ever compromised the encrypted connection string and the key to decrypt it are sitting in the DLL. Is there a config file that I can use for C# Stored Procedures?
4. If I have to keep the connection string in the file, then I need to change that per environment. Example I have 3 test environments before production. So I would need to change the connection string for each file. That may be fine for one procedure, but what if I have 20, that will quickly get of hand?
5. Along the security lines, can the assembly for a C# Stored Procedure be called from outside the assembly? From a command prompt, or by a maliceous program? Or could it be called directly by a .NET application instead of going through a T-SQL Stored Procedure that is using
WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [PROJECTNAME].[CLASSNAME].[METHODNAME]
Thanks

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
Regards,
Vipul

I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?

I have SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition (sp3a) running on a windows 2003 (sp4) Server.
It is a Production Server with 3 NAMED Instances and NO Default Instance.
Does anyone know if I can rerun the SQL Server Install and add a DEFAULT Instance to this box without disrupting the other Named Instances???

I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.
Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Hi
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
Cheers
Chris

Can I run an instance of SQL Server 2000 in SQL Server 2005?
I was planning on restoring a backup of my SQL Server 2000 db to SS 2005, but keep the SS 2000 configuration. The main reason for doing so is to maintain the DTS packages I have in SS 2000 because my understanding is that these are not easily duplicated in SS 2005 Integration Services.
Thanks-Dave

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

We are trying to quickly put together what needs to be accomplished to install a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on an existing production server (also running SQL Server 2000). It appears as if the install will require a reboot. Can the reboot be postponed until after-hours without impacting the default instance of SQL Server?
Also, I see that if certain services are stopped prior to installing sp4 that you can avoid a reboot. However, if we are unable to stop these services (DTC, for example) without impacting the default instance of SQL Server, will the default instance of SQL Server experience any issues if we postpone the post-sp4 reboot until after hours?
Thanks!

started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops
now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!!
Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????

Hi,
I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005.
Something with the named instance is problematic.
Any help?

Here's my situation:I have an ODBC DSN setup for Timberline Data (An accounting packagethat uses pervasive.sql) on my sql box. I set up a linked server usingthe supplied timberline odbc driver. I have two sql instances setup,the default instance and a named instance. On the default instance,the linked server works great no matter who is logged in using it (allauthentication is NT integrated). However on the named instance onlythe NT account that the MSSqlserver$NAMED service is logged in undercan utilize the linked server. All others get a ODBC error:"error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. AccessDenied. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL'IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied.]."Far as i can tell, both instances are setup the same, except that oneis the default and one is a named instance.Why the different results for the default instance vs a named instance.Any ideas?Thanks

Several applications in out environment use Microsoft access to access the SQL server databases. Our new SQL Server 2005 instance is a named instance. We would like to create a .reg file to update the individual workstations as part of the migration. For some reason the .reg file with a named instance does not work. If the entry is created through the GUI it works. The server drop down does not show the named instance, only the server name but if you type the servernameamed_instance it finds it ok. Here is an example of what works and what does not. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Hi, I'm trying to publish an SQL Server Instance through an ISA Server but I'm not being able. I tried to create the rules to allow the SQL protocols and to tunnel the calls from internet into my SQL server. I set the instance to connect through a fix port so it wouldn't worry about not being the default instance and configured that port in the ISA server so the remote calls were channeled into it. I'm allowing only TCP connections.
I must be pretty wrong on something because it doesn't work.
Can someone offer me a white paper or some step by step instructions to do this?
Thanks a lot.

I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I was not given a choice during installation (that I remember seeing anyway) about which drive I wanted to place the default SQL instance on.
It ended up on C: and I needed it on D:.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to move it to D: that is easier than the way you had to go about it in SQL 2000?
Is there a way to do it during setup so I can avoid this in the future?

Are there some general recommendations/guidelines/best practices for choosing to run your custom application against a default or named instance of SQL Server?
We have an application, which in it's stand-alone/local configuration, installs an MSDE default instance if it does not already exist, and runs against this instance. In addition, regardless of whether or not it installs the default instance, it expects to run against the default instance.
We are looking into migrating to SQL Server 2005 Express (Compact almost fits our needs, but not quite), and would like to pay more attention to the best solution regarding the use of instances, default versus named.
Thanks

Tried to uninstall SQL Server 64-bit on Windows 2003 remotely. All components uninsntalled properly except Reporting Services.
The log file lists the following error -

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.

*******/
Now I cannot see Reporting Services under Add/Remove programs (ARPWrapper.exe /remove). It is also not displayed when using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe). I can start the default instance of RS via Reporting Services Configuration manager and it can also be also started under Windows Services. BTW, the IIS folder structure is under the default website for Reports and ReportServer is present.
So, now how do I go about uninstalling SQL Reporting Services when I cannot see it (as an installed program) without rebuilding the machine ?

I installed SQL Server 2005 flawlessly yesterday. When login as "sa" through SQL Server Management Studio, I get an error message saying it cannot connect to my PC.
I checked the MSSQL Server Service. It is not started and cannot be started because it's looking for a path that does not exist!.
The folder in question is missing.
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL
The following folders do exist:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2
I initially suspected this problem was cause by a previous MSDE 2000 installation.
I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 & MSDE 2000.
I re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem.
I executed
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/320873
to make sure all registries are removed and manually deleted C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server€™s content
Re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem.
I do not know what do in order to get SQL Server 2005 up & running.
All help is greatly appreciated.

For ISVs who distribute/install SQL Server Express with their software, what is the best practice when it comes to choosing between installing a default or a named instance?
From what I can tell, I should install a named instance, so that the named instance can be uninstalled when my software is uninstalled without hosing other named instances or the default instance, but I'm not 100% sure of this.

Hi there
We have a SSIS run which runs as follows
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings
The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable
Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s.
We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1:
The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €œcannot connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2:
When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3:
When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4:
When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €œtimeout when connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
Thanx,
/Nils M - Copenhagen

Hello, I had started my project with the express edition, then I switched to the pro one. The problem is that in my webconfig I still have .SQLEXPRESS and I don't know how to modify that to use the full version of Sql server. <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> When I look at the surface area manager I can see that I have 2 instances running : MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS.When starting Sql Server Management Studio I can connect to 2 servers: NEWDELL and NEWDELLSQLEXPRESS.And when I try to replace SQLEXPRESS by MSSQLSERVER in the connectionstring, then it doesn't connect.I remember having lost connection already when playing with all these tools, so I pay attention now ! That's why any help would be really appreciated ! Thank you.
