Is there any way that an existing database in SQL Express can be converted to a SQL Anywhere ?
regards
Some thread searches here say conversion (downgrade) of a SqlExpress database to Sql Server 2000 is trivial. I haven't yet figured out an efficient way of doing so beyond using someone's Database Publishing Wizard utility (http://www.codeplex.com/sqlhost) to create a sql 2000 compatible script, replete with schema *and* data, then running that script against the Sql 2000 database (freshly created without any structure). I've done this successfully with smaller databases, but the larger ones really tax and drain the server resources and scripts have failed with "out of memory" errors. We're putting more memory in the Sql 2000 server, which may avert memory errors, but there's still the issue of server load. Has anybody since come up with or know of a better method that's quicker, more efficent and less drain on the server?
TIA,
Rick
how does one convert from sqlexpress (mdf files) to sql server 2005 and vise-versa, ie from SQL Server 2005 to SQLExpress mdf files?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a simple (3 tables) SQL Express database that I would like to downsize to Access, as I am considering removing SQL Express from my machine. I have no need of the extra capabilities of SQL Express; Access will do fine. Presumably I could just reconstruct the tables in Access manually and then populate them from SQL Express (eg. with a C# program), but I wonder if there is an easier (automatic) way?
Seems everyone is going the other way!
Thanks for any suggestions.
I am trying to access a SQLExpress database on another computer on my LAN. Using Windows Authentication. I don't really want to go to Mixed Mode authentication as I understand it involves a registry tweak and creating a new user. I am a novice at this.
Getting the following error on running the connection code below:
SQLException was unhandled "Login failed for user 'D37YKC1SGuest'."
No doubt it is a security problem but I am not sure how to get around it. Any help appreciated.
Connection code:
Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=D37YKC1SSQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=VBNMDATA"
conn.Open()
Tried the following which is my Windows logon on the other computer (blank password) but same error:
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=D37YKC1SSQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=VBNMDATA; User Id=Geoff; Password="
I have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Express and the firewall is off. I can see the server on the other computer with this code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Retrieve the enumerator instance and then the data.
Dim instance As SqlDataSourceEnumerator = _
SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance
Dim table As System.Data.DataTable = instance.GetDataSources()
' Display the contents of the table.
DisplayData(table)
End Sub
Private Sub DisplayData(ByVal table As DataTable)
For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
For Each col As DataColumn In table.Columns
MessageBox.Show(col.ColumnName.ToString & " " & row(col).ToString)
Next
Next
End Sub
I have SQL Express installed on my machine. I can access it with MACHINE_NAMESQLExpress but not .SQLExpress Because of this, I cannot add a .mdf to the App_Data folder of one of my projects (I assume) because it says "cannot locate server/instance specified".

Im getting ASP.Net 2.0 Beta 2 setup on my home machine to kick around

making sure that the ASPNET user has at least read access to the

we intalled sqlexpress on a server 2003 ...work well... named server <deval-sqlexpr>
instance name of sql is <sqlexpress>
we changed the server name to <apps-ii>
after that we cannot access the sql instance <deval-sqlexprsqlexpress>
we cannot remove (with add and remove program) that unsuable instance.
we have an instance name <apss-iisqlexpress1> and its works well
we cannot change the server name back to <deval-sqlexpr> ...the server is now the DC....
QUESTION:
is it possible to remove and clean out that instance from the server.
Thank you
Hi all,
I followed this excellent tutorial (from Microsoft) about creating and using a SQLExpress db table internal to your website:
http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-08.aspx
and the site I created works just fine - locally. When I publish to my web host provider I get this error:
[SqlException (0x80131904): 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)]
My web host provider supports .NET 2.0 but doesn't support MS SQL Server. But that should matter - right? Because I'm putting the db instance right in the website?
I did a search and followed some of the advice:
I went into the SQL Server Surface Area Config Mgr and set SQLExpress for local and remote connections and rebooted/republished. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed as a separate entity (if that makes a difference).
I still get the above error. This is the connection string from the web.config:
<connectionStrings><add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Customers.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>And this is the call from the markup:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customer]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
Does any know the fix for this?
Thanking you in advance

I initially created an Access application within Access 2003 which I subsequently migrated to SQLExpress 2005 (Tables only) using Microsoft SQL Migration Assistance for Access 2003 (SSMAA) and continue to use Access 2003 as a front end, this really was easy and worked perfect. Now I added a new table to my SQLExpress DB and need to link to it from my Access application but can not find a way to do so in the same way that the SSMAA does. I need to run the Access 2003 application in share mode from multiple PC in the LAN. If I try linking to the table using an ODBC connection I can only access from the PC where the link was done! Any ideas? THanks in advance.

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?

I am currently in the process of writing an application to convert an Access database to SQL. Basically, I have created an odbc link in access and then I transfer the data from the access table to the linked table.
The problem is where I have to transfer the Identity keys. I can transfer all the data but the keys. They will auto increment. I tried using INSERT_IDENTITY tablename ON but it just returns an error mosty of the time. I have gotten it to transfer once or twice by stepping through.
