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

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,

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 !

VS2005 Error: Connection To SQL Server Files (*.mdf) Requires SQL Server Express 2005 To Function Properly.

Mar 6, 2008



Good Evening All,

I've serached this forum and Google'd for a resolution to this issue, to no avail. Here's the scenario:
I'm running VS 2005 on Windows Media Center laptop and need to create ASP.net membership for my web application built using VB. I have SQL Server Developer installed with instance name MSSQLSERVER. Previously, I uninstalled SQL Express and installed Developer edition and can now open and utilize Management Studio.

Now, when I try to create a new SQL Server database in my solution's App_Data directory, I receive the above error. I already changed instance name in VS2005 per Tools-Options-Database Tools-Data Connections to MSSQLSERVER.

Could someone provide me with a list of procedures to ensure proper setup of VS2005 with SQL Server Developer Edition?

Thanks much for your help.

Creating Databases On WinXP SP2 With SQL Server 2005 CE RC

Nov 28, 2006

Hi,

For various reasons a new desktop application I am developing is using the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Release Candidate to store local data. On my development machine (XP SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition) the software is able to create the database file, and read and write to it fine.

However on our test machine, which does not have any of the development tools the software is unable to create the database. A System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException is thrown. The message is: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU." Obviously this goes somewhat against the blurb for SQL Server CE.

Is this something that will be fixed shortly? Or is it the intention that databases can't be created on machines that do not SQL Server or Visual Studio installed? (Incidentally the reason for creating the database on the fly is that we are encrypting it, using the users credentials, so that only they can open the database.)

Thanks, Steve

Creating Databases Under MS SQL 2005 Server (SP-2): Dbo User Role

Jun 9, 2007

Good Day,



I am having a problem with creating databases in MS SQL 2005 Server. When I attempt to assign an User Mapping for my SQL user account to the newly created database, the "dbo" user and schema is already assigned. When I try to drop this user in favor of my own, I receive an error message: Cannot alter the user "dbo" (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15150). I am connected to my database engine through the "sa" account.



Regards,

Keith

Creating And Using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Databases

Jan 17, 2007

OK I think I am missing something here. I have installed the newly released SQL Compact Edition, Server Tools, and Tools for VS SP1. According to the documentation you can do the following to create a SQL Compact Edition DB:

Creating a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server




In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer.


In Object Explorer, click Connect, and then choose SQL Server Compact Edition.


In the Connect to Server dialog box, select <New Database€¦> from the Database file drop-down list.


In the Create New SQL Server Compact Edition Database dialog box, type a file path and file name for the new database file. You can optionally select the default sort order and choose whether you want to encrypt or password-protect the database. If you choose to encrypt or password-protect the database, type a password, and then click OK.


Click Connect to connect to the new SQL Server Compact Edition database. The database is now displayed in Object Explorer.

I see no reference to or any option to create or connect to a SQL Server Compact Edition database in SQL Mgmt Studio. I had SQL 2005 Mobile installed previously and this still shows as an option. What I am missing here? Is SQL Mobile now SQL Compact Editon?

Thanks in advance,

Jack

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:

Transferring 3 Databases From Both Express 2005 And Standard To New Physical Server

Mar 25, 2015

I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.

Here is the breakdown of the servers:

1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)

**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?

Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server? I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit.

Problem With Creating New SQL Server Database In VWDExpress Using SQL Server 2005 Express

Jul 1, 2006



I have two problems on creating new SQL server database in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express using SQL server 2005 Express.

The 1st problem: (It is resolved)

After installed SQL Server 2005 express and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I tried to create a SQL server database in VWD the following error occurred:

"connection to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL server express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251"

I was stuck with this problem for few days. I did several times of install/reinstall of VWPExpress and SQL server Express, made very sure following proper de-installation sequence as specified in the release readme. But it did not resolve the problem.

Latter I found out that if I login with another Windows XP user account, I don't get the problem.

Changing the security authority of XP file systems and IIS didn't help.

And to prove that I was doing the installation correctly, I tried a new installation of the VWDExpress with SQL server 2005 express in another machine, it worked and I could create new empty SQL database.

After 2 days of frustrating changing of options, parameters, server names, messing with the registry etc.... Finally, I found a way to overcome this problem.

The solution is:

In Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, select:

Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Data Connections,

Change the setting: "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" to "SQLEXPRESS". (where SQLEXPRESS is the default server instance name)

That solved this 1st problem.

I still don't know the exact reason for this problem. But I recalled I did installed the VWDExpress few weeks ago, I might have installed it without selecting SQL server 2005 express at that point. I guess the subsequent install/re-install did not clean up those junk in the registry.

I still have the 2nd problem:

The "Create new SQL database..." option is always grayed out when I right click on the Data connections in the "Database Explorer" tab.

I have a bypass for this difficulty for time being:

I have to do it by using the "Add connection....", put in the server name: "myserver/SQLEXPRESS" and a new database name.

Any input form anyone ? Appreciated!

Creating An Application On SQL Server 2005 Express That Will Be Migrated To SQL Server

Sep 23, 2007



I have several general questions about this but I thought I would describe what I am doing first. My senior project team is developing a web application that will wind up using SQL Server for the database. We are writing it in ASP.net and developing the database on SQL Server Express. My job is to develop and deploy the database. I have an ERD designed and am getting ready to start coding the tables, constraints and stored proceedures but am unsure of a couple of things.

1) How do I create a new schema?
2) I can see how to create tables in the GUI but what I am trying to do is create scripts that can be used to create the tables and objects on the actual server that our client will be using. How do I create scripts in 2005 Express? Do I just go click on the new query button?
3) Are scripts that work for Express going to have any problem executing on SQL Server?

Send Sql Statement From Vs2005; Detach A Mdf File From Sql Server Express

Sep 17, 2007



Hi,

as I'm relatively new to Sql Server Express, I have a few questions regarding best practices for data handling.

In my ASP.net Application I thought it might be of high value to create the database as mdf file in my vs2005 project,
so I could easily copy the database with the project.

Now inside VS2005 I have the problem of not being able to create any SQL Statements other than queries. For example simple create table statements and such seem not to be possible if I don't want to use the designer.

So I attached the mdf file to my Sql Server Express in Sql Management Studio Express.
But here I seem not be able to detach the file again when I made some changes. Only option is to delete the whole thing.


So my questions are:

1. Is it somehow possible to send simple sql statements to a sql server express database from Visual Studio 2005?
2. How can I detach an mdf database file from Sql Server Express once I have attached it with Sql Management Studio Express?
3. Should I use a different approach to my problem?


thank you all 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!

Trouble With VS2005 And MS SQL Server 2005

Mar 25, 2007

HiI recently installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer Ed. w/ SP2 on my XP... I use VS2005 to create personal websites. I was previously using SQL Server Express, and things worked fine by default settings. I am a beginner to web development and I really don't know anything about SQL Server. I'm guessing it needs to be configured somehow to work with VS, but I have no idea how to do that. I have an existing Web App which uses a database for login functionality, and everytime I try and log on I get this 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26
- Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)I made sure that the Server's database engine accepts remote connections but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?~Miro

Does VS2005 Need To Remain Installed With Most Editions Of SQL Server 2005?

Aug 24, 2007

My understanding is that at installation of all but the Express edition, there is no choice but to have VS2005 installed as well. If this is true, can VS 2005 at least be uninstalled after a different debugger is enlisted?

I have VS2005 SP1, running WindowsXP SP2. Integration Services is
running on my machine, but I would think that this shouldn't matter
anyway as the error is happening before I have even indicated and data
source to use. If I take this xml file with the error and copy it to another new SSIS project on another machine, it works fine. Reinstalling VS2005 had no effect. I am now reinstalling SQL Server 2005 SP2 to see what effect that may have.





Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marcus

Restoring Databases In Sql 2005 Express - Filename Changes?

Mar 22, 2008

Hello,
Does anyone else ever experience this problem, and if so do you know what causes it:
When ever I restore a database called say XXX.mdf, it restores OK and I can view via MSE as XXX.mdf. Then when I visit MSE again there is another database called C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataXXX.mdf - both are linked to the same .mdf file, however if you try to expand XXX.mdf nothing happens as though the database has been detached?
Cheers MArco

How To Reverse Migrate Databases From SQL 2005 Express To SQL 2000

Oct 3, 2007

I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.

Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.

Thanks,
Wendell

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?

Aug 8, 2006

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.

How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?

Currently, if I run this query:

SELECT @@version

I get the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.


Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/


Thank you,

Bashman

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!

Todd

Can't Use SQL Express In VS2005

Mar 4, 2007

When I try to add a new database to App_Data in a VS2005sp1 project I get "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user interface".

I have SQL2005sp2 and SQL Express on the system, both services are running, and an instance of the latter called SQLExpress which I can use through SQL Server Management Studio. sp_configure user instances enabled is set to 1. The SQL Server Instance Name in Options | Database Tools | Data Connections is set to SQLExpress ...

I have no idea how to proceed .. any ideas anyone?

Thanks

John

SQL 2005 && VWD 2005 Express And Databases

Mar 16, 2007

Help, don't quite understand, or more likely I've missed the point!
Using VWD 2005 Express, I can create, manage/modify and SQL 2005 database aswell as maintain any data I enter into it. Fine, no problem there. However, when it comes to doing the same kind of thing with the database using MSSQL 2005 Management Studio Express, I remain mystified!?
Any database I create above, through VWD 2005 Express, shows as being an attached DB in SQL MSExp and I'm able to detach and re-attach them. However, they are always attached as read only files so are unmodifiable!!!
So... What is it I'm missing? What do I have to do to be able detach, attach, re-attach such databases in a modifiable form, ie NOT read-only
Pulling my hair out over this one, so any advice gratefully rec'd
Thanks in anticipation.......!!!
