Creating ODBC Connection To SQL 2005 Express

Apr 15, 2008



Hey guys,

Hope one of you can help me. I've got SQL Server 2005 Express installed on a laptop. I'm trying to create an ODBC connection to it so that I can access the database from a program locally that will be writing to it. I can connect to the SQL instance by listing the server name as DSR-XXXXXXX(ComputerName)SQLEXPRESS

However... when I access that ODBC connection, it doesn't see the database DBProScout (which was created inside SQL Express on this laptop locally), and I cannot access the tables within it. The only tables that I can access are system tables associated with SQL Server Express.

What could I be doing wrong?



Thanks!

ODBC Connection To SQL 2005 Express

Jan 18, 2006

I am attempting to setup a SQL Server 2005 Express database as a backend to an Access MDB, and need to establish an ODBC data source for the backend database. On two different systems (Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 SBS), I get an error that says I cannot connect to the SQL Server. I get a message that says:

Connection failed: SQL State 08001 SQL Server Error: 2
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server

That is followed by a Login timeout expired and a suggestion that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

I have shared memory, named pipes and TCP/IP protocols enabled, and the firewall set to allow connections on port 1433. And the Express manager seems to work OK.

I see several posts about issues with ODBC, but none of the suggestions seem to help in this situation. Can anyone suggest something to try? Thanks in advance.

ODBC Connection For Client Application To SQL Server 2005 Express Installed On Network Computer

May 5, 2006

Hi All,

I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.

I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.

The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?

Thanks!

Creating ODBC Connection

Feb 19, 2007

In my project, I have added a database called aspnetdb.mdf and I store all the required information here. Now I want to write a seperate Cryatl Report for my manager, that accesses this database and display required data. This report is not a part of the asp.net project. This is only for my manager. My database is not attached to any server. I just use the attachdb in the coonection string of my project to attach this database. no I want my crystal report to access this database. If I can create an ODBC connection to this database, it will solve my problem. Dows any body know how to access this database from Crystal with or without ODBC?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Creating A Shared ODBC Dsn For Access To SQL Server Connection

May 30, 2007

I have a Microsoft Access application which uses linked SQL Server tables. I would like to create an ODBC DSN which would be available to all users so that I don't have to create a DSN on each machine. Can this be done? The Access application resides on a shared drive (Windows). Thanks for your help.

ODBC Connection With SQL Express

Feb 15, 2007

If I create any other user (test, felix, fido, etc) in my database, that user can login successfully through Management Studio Express except not through an ODBC connection. Thus, this is a very bizarre issue. I have made sure this user has the same roles as SA. My instance is configured to handle SQL Server Authentication and Integrated. This works fine in Studio Express, but not in the ODBC connection.

When using "SA" login, I can connect to Management Studio Express and through an ODBC connection. Seems rudimentary enough, however, if I change the name in the ODBC connection i get

"Connection Failed,

SQLState '28000', SQL

Server Error 18456,

Microsoft SQL Native Client SQL Server Login failed for user 'xyz'"

Any ideas? Do I need a different ODBC Administrator?

Import Tables Through ODBC Connection Into SQL Express

May 13, 2008

I'm trying to import data from an Oracle database into SQL Express. Basically I have a database that's local to my machine (C# front end with a SQL express back end) but I need to tie in some data from an Oracle database. The reason I'm trying to import it instead of just using a connection in C# to hit it is that I need to be able to access the tables while I'm offline so I need a local copy. I couldn't find any references on doing it through stored procedures or anything like that. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Error Creating First SQL Express Database Via VWD 2005 Express: User Does Not Have Permission To Perform This Action

Aug 18, 2006

I get an error dialog when I try to create a new SQL database, both via the Add New Item dialog and the property wizard of a new SqlDataSource control. The error is:


Local Database File:

User does not have permission to perform this action.

I've searched for help with this.

I ensured the App_Data folder exists and I added the local ASP.NET account to the group that have R/W access to it (although the RO flag is in an unchangeable tri-state on the folder).
The SQL Server Express error log is clean and indicates full functionality.
Everything is running locally.
No VWD installation errors.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Problems Of Remote Connections For Creating A SQLCLR Project In SQL Server Express-ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express Via Network/LAN

Sep 19, 2007

Hi all,

In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC.
1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.

2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

Cannot Connect To SQL 2005 Using System DSN ODBC Connection

Dec 28, 2007



I am running SQL 2005 SP1 on Win 2003 Std x64 SP2. I get an error trying to connect using an ODBC System DSN connection. The ODBC connection gets the following error:


Connection failed:
SQLState:'28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'

The SQL Server logs the following error:

18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.

I have tried this with several SQL accounts. I am able to login to the SQL Manager with the accounts without issue. It is only when trying to connect via ODBC that I get the error. I am currently downloading SQL 2005 SP2 to see if this will help with the issue. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Creating A New Connection With Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition From Visual Studio 2005 IDE

Jul 25, 2007



Hello, How are you?
I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?



I appreciate your help€¦

Installing SQL Express 2005 And ODBC

Jan 30, 2008

Hi everyone

I have just installed SQL Server 2005, default settings. I have attempted to add a new ODBC driver using Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN tab - Add - SQL Server - default settings, but it fails.

I did all this for MySQL some months ago, but I must have forgotten something.

Please can someone tell me what to do next.

Thanks in advance.

Random Connection Drop With ODBC And SQL Server 2005

Oct 29, 2007



We have a legacy C++ application which uses ODBC to connect to SQL server. The application is a server process that opens a connection and caches it. Unfortunately on a connection drop, it does not refresh the connection. The standard installation is a 3 machine web/app/sql setup.

It has been working fine since last 4-5 years unless the SQL Server goes down. In that case, I keep seeing "Function sequence error" and "Communication link failure" errors. On one particular client installation on application server, I started getting this exception while SQL Server was up and running (on a different machine). I would see the connections randomly dropping in the activity monitor after 3-4 hrs of inactivity.

I wrote a .NET test app which uses ODBC drivers for SQL Server and makes a connection and then just waits. Out of 5 connections established by this application I saw one connection being dropped as well. Another test app used ADO.NET and it did not drop any connections. I asked the IT to check the network and they say its fine.

The servers are W2k3 SP2 and database is SQL Server 2005. IsAutoClose on all the databases is false. Nothing goes in the logs even after turning on traces using DBCC.

Since the connection drop was very random, I turned off connection pooling on "ODBC driver for SQL Server" on the application server and now it is working fine.

Can someone explain me what could be the reason? Also, is there a way to upgrade or downgrade ODBC drivers on W2K3 machines?

Thanks,
Pranav

Trying To Setup ODBC Link To SQL 2005 Express

Hello All

I am trying to use SQL 2005 express as a datasource for a mailmerge with Word 2000.

I have created a ODBC link successfully. I have enabled all the protocols. When I open the ODBC link, all I see is a ODBC drop down. I cant see or select any database tables?

When I open the dsn I get a dialog caled Header Record Delimiters. I accept the defaults and then I get another Dialog called Mail Merge Recipients with a whole lot of connection info, but no sign of any database tables.

Any Ideas?

Connection Strings, Trusted-connection VS Username-password, SQL Server 2005 Express

Mar 9, 2007

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
 
BACKGROUND...

Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
 
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
 
Please advise.
Thank you.

SQL Express 2005 Remote Connection With VWD 2005 Express

Jun 22, 2006

Hi all,Just wondering if SQL 2005 express edition can be connected remotely. I've set up SQL 2005 Express on a separate machine and am having trouble connecting to it from VWD when creating the websites. Currently I've set up ASP.NET 2.0 Framework on the remote machine with IIS6 using Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. And I am directly editing the website remotely on the server machine from my PC. Could someone please help me in setting up a remote connection from VWD to the SQL Server?I've enabled TCP/IP setting in the SQL Configuration Manager but still getting errors. Could this be an issue with Express Edition? Because if it is I also have a copy of SQL Server 2005 to install. Any direction to resolve in this issue would be greatly appreciated.PS. I'm new to this so pls bear with me. Thanks.

Can't Find SQL Native Client In ODBC Connection Manager In SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

Feb 13, 2007

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?

Creating Sql Server 2005 Express Databases Via VS2005 Std.

Dec 5, 2007



This post is an extension onto the one below....
Please read my question at the bottom... cheers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sept. 26th 2006




Hello all,

I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

- Noble Bell






I'd be interested in knowing how VS doesn't allow you to create a database. What error are you getting?
There are two ways to create databases, depending on your goal:

To just create a database on your server, do the following:


Open the Server Explorer
Right-click on Data Connections
Click Create New SQL Server Database
Specify Server Name and Database Name



Your database will be created and you can start working with it.

Embed a database in your project:


On the Project menu, click Add New Item.
Select SQL Database from the list and give it a name.
Click OK

This will run you thorugh a wizard to create the database.
If your having problems doing either of these, you may not have SQL Server installed on your computer or VS might be pointing to the wrong Instance Name. Check out the Option dialog under Database Tools:ata Connection and verify that the correct instance is specified.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am trying to create a similar project and I also recieve an error while trying to create a database...

"An error has 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 - Could Not Open A Connection to SQL Server."


Now let me explain what i am trying to do ...
I am trying to create a web interface for the data that I want to store in the SQL database. I have installed VS2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. I want to develope this project on my local machine and then transfer it to a server once i have finished the project.

If i am doing this all wrong, please let me know !

I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

Nebie Connection Problems With SQL Server 2005 Express And VS 2005

May 10, 2007

I downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and some sample databases (incl. Adventureworks_data.mdf), but when I try to Add Connection in VS 2005 to point to this db and use the Test Connection button, it gives the error:



---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
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)
---------------------------



I've tried setting the data source as either "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" or "Microsoft SQL Server", but get the same error.



Any tips on verifying SQL Srv Express is installed correctly? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?



Thanks in advance.

Could somebody tell me how do we create a .NET Stored Procedure in Sql Server 2005 Express Edition and deploy and debug it against the database from Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Web Developer?  Can some one also let me know which approach is faster among .NET stored procedure or T-SQL stored procedure?

SQL Express 2005 Connection

Mar 5, 2007

Hi,

i am stuck in a strange situation.
I have successfully built my application setup through InstallSheild 12. Which first installs SQL Express user define instance as a pre-requisite and then install my application files. First time when i run my application (without restarting the pc), it connects successfully with user define instance.
But as i restart my PC and try to open my application, it is not connecting with database.
i am using the following command line to install SQL Express 2005 user define instance:

"/qn ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MyInstance SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD="test" AUTOSTART=1"

if i change Remote connection to "using both TCP/IP and named pipes" through "SQL Server Surface Area Configuration" and then restart my pc again. My application connects successfully with Database.

Please guide me where i am getting wrong in building setup. do i have to add something in my command line to not get this error

SQL 2005 Express Connection Problem

Jan 24, 2007

I'm a newbie to asp.net, but I have been a programmer for years.I have a question that I'm hoping someone can give me a good answerfor, I have been trying to set up a site remotely and I've been usingthe login control that comes with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express,this comes with SQL 2005 Express.  The remote site is not a companycomputer, but basically a host that I'm paying for.  When I deploy onthis remote site and try to log in I get this error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by thefact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remoteconnections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - ErrorLocating Server/Instance Specified)Using the Database Explorer I noticed that on my laptop the databasefile is sitting on my C: Drive.  I also noticed that on the remoteserver I deploy to has all my files on their D: Drive.  My question isdo I have to set my SQL 20005 Express file up locally exactly the waythe file will set remotely?  In other words... If, on the remoteserver, my files will be on D:(url)asp_data... in order for my logincontrol to be able to use it, it has to be set the same way?Also, does that remote site need to be set up with SQL 2005 express aswell? or will the site be able to work off of that file?And Finally, I also have SQL Server 2000, if I wanted to use this login control (the one that comes with Visual Web Developer 2005), how can Ireference this server instead of SQL 2005 Express?  It seems Visual WebDeveloper 2005 wants to use it automatically.Thanks in advance
