Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251I don't want's to install sql server express and want's the functinality of creating a new database via App_Data folder.What Can do ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file. Now we still useSQL Server 2000 databases for our ASP.net applications. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express.These 2 databases in the App_Data folder seem to work fine although I can not see them from theManagement Studio Express.
My question is: How do I 'manually' create a new SQL Server 2005 database into the App_Data folder?
TIA,Jeffrey
I am using visual web developer with sqlserver2005 express edition. When I try to create a database in the App_Data folder through solution explorer I get the following error message:
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 am unable to create the database. Can anyone help in solving this problem?

Hi,
I have developed an application on the Intranet, but what I have done is dealing with the database directly using MS SQL Server 2005 server. But I have seen some people or videos where they create the database on "App_Data" folder.
I am going to develop online application on Internet this time, I should develop it offline on my machine. So, I have 2 questions foe now:
1) What is the right way to create MSSQL 2005 database? in "App_Data" or in MSSQL 2005 server?
2) When creating database in "App_Data" folder, is it going to be created automatically or shown on my MSSQL 2005 server?
Thanks,
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
HI,
I found that we can keep .mdf file in App_Data folder and use the same database in our application.
so my questions are .
1.the database which is kept in app_code will work only with Sql Server Express Edition.
2.what will be my connection string in web.config.
If any one can help out that will be appreciate and put some more light about using the data base in this way.
or any article link will also appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I'd be interested to know what the recommended methods are of implementing a SQL database using VS2005 standard and SQLExpress.
I previously used VS2003 and MSDE which allowed me to create a .sql script to create and populate a database.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it now appears that in VS2005 the preferred way of doing this is to create a SQLExpress database in the App_Data folder. This is fine, except that I can't seem to connect to this 'detached' database using SQLCMD when I need to run my .sql scripts to create the tables.
When I used MSDE, I used a command similar to the following:
osql -E -S(local)etsdk -dMyDatabase
Which connected to the 'MyDatabase' database. Now, with VS2005, if I create MyDatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder how would I connect to it using SQLCMD? I've tried:
sqlcmd -E -S(local)SQLEXPRESS -dMyDatabase.mdf
but this just tries to open a database in the SSQL.1MSSQLData folder.
I guess I'd like to store the database in the App_Data folder as it keeps everything together and will be easier when deploying a site to a remote host.
Thanks,Wayne.
I have a vb.net 2005 application and i created a SQL Server 2005 db inside my App_Data folder and I need to know how to connect to this database so that I can query it from my vb code. thanks

I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home.
I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server.
Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database?
Thanks

I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?

Hi all,
I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC that has SQL Server Express (SSE) and Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) programs. The Microsoft "pubs" Database is installed in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I created a website in my VWDE program. I need the .mdf file of the pubs Database in the App_Data folder of website of my VWDE project. I think that User Instance in my SSE is established. I have studied Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) and User Instance for a quite a while and I still do not know where and how to use Xcopy to get the mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project. Please help and give me the detailed key steps/instructions about where and how to get the .mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project via Xcopy.
Thanks in advance,

I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box.
The first time I upload the site, the upload works great. Later after uploading updates, new pages, etc. the upload still works great.
BUT.....when I try to upload anything in the App_Data folder, I get a copy error, access denied.
On a pre-existing site with App_Data ....How do you upload the App_Data folder or it's contents to the remote server?
Thanks^2

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul
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?

I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?

I've downloaded 2005 Express but I want to do SSIS and don't see any way to do that with Express. The Developer Edition apparently has all features, but says you can upgrade to Enterprise, which I don't need (Standard would probably be fine).
Here are my questions:
1) Is there any way to develop SSIS packages in Developer and run them in Express?
2) Is it possible to upgrade Developer to something less than Enterprise, such as Workgroup or Standard?
3) This page is titled "How to Obtain SQL Server 2005 Developer Ediiton" but doesn't explain how to obtain it. Instead it talks about which edition to select, trial software, blah blah:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/developer/howtobuy.mspx
Are there any catches or preconditions to buying Developer, or is it just a simple $50 (or less, depending on where you buy it)? I want to explore more 2005 features than Express offers but I don't want a trial version that will expire.
Thanks for any clarification that can be provided.
I'm, using my script to many location to create folder to save output files and if the folder is removed/not present it can create it without any noise. But the problem is, while I use the same sort of script to check if a folder is present in the sharedpath it will not create it to copy all bkp files from local to remote path works good, but if you delete the folder or rename the exisitng folder and if the below script tries to create the folder it created as "fILE", very interesting. Per IT team they have given SQL Server account the full rights to create/delete/alter folder/files.
Do I need to use seperate script or way to create / alter folders in the sharepath?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @len INT, @i INT, @Left varchar(max), @right varchar(max), @SERVERNAME sysname,@finalServer sysname
declare @rc int, @dir nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @cmd1 sysname, @cmd2 sysname, @cmd sysname;
Declare @extPAth varchar(max)

View 9 Replies View RelatedHello all. I'm giving serious thought on changing gears withing the IT world. For several years I have been a software developer who has been fortunate enough to have been involved in the needed databases. From just sketching out tables for the DBA to doing the database from the ground up and maintaining it during production. Along the way I've known that I didn't do as quality of a job as a knowledgeable DBA would do but given the situations I made do just fine.
I am considering switching gears to the database side only, coding as secondary. Since I am basically familier with most aspects of SQL Server in a general way, I am looking to take that knowledge and become a "Professional". What I am looking for is a few books to help out. Maybe a "Become a DBA for Software Developers" or something. I know that mining these and other forums are very valuble but I'd like some other training materials as well.
Have I been clear enough on what I am looking for? I don't quite feel like I have.
Basically, what would you recommend for a good software developer who is looking on switching to becoming a good database person?
I'd like to stay in SQL Server for now, since that is what they use here and it would give me an opportunity to practice.
Also, do you see value in the studying process for certifications in this area?
I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express sample databases from 2 books, ASPnet 2.0 and ADOnet 2.0. The ASPNETDB.MDF was shown in App_Data and Database Explorer, but not in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. The AdoStepBy Step database created by a ConfigDB.exe was displayed in the Management Studio, but not in the App_Data, or Database Explorer.
Is this the way SQL Server 2005 runs the 2005 databases for SQL Server 2005 Express only? Or also in SQL Server 2005?
TIA,
Jeffrey
hello we want to evaluate TS foundation server but it says it won't support developer edition sql, only sql2k5 stanard. But now we have DEVELOPER version on our development sql server, DEVDATA1, i.e. instances DEVDATA1DEV, and DEVDATA1QA are both installed on the same sql server box with both SP1 applied.
How can we update DEVDATA1QA to Standard version while still have SP1 applied? we just install Standard CD and then apply SP1 again?
Because this instance is our QA version, before we do something silly, if any of you did that before, any advice would be really helpful.
thanks in advance.
