Sorry if this something beaten to death already...
What is/should be required for a target client machine to use and connect to a local copy of a SqlExpress database? Can't seem to get a db connection established to a different machine through a VB6 app. Installed the sql native client on the machine, but still can't connect. What am I missing, or do I have to distribute/install the entire SqlExpress client? Working fine from my development machine.

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server. I want to email my database and the diagram to a friend of mine so he can review my work.
I noticed that the sql server databases that I have downloaded had an extension of .msi. I don't know if I need to do something to make my database have the .msi extension before I can email it to my friend.
I have been able to copy and paste both the database and the log file to a folder on the desktop. I can't seem to open these though. I have right and left clicked on the
the databse file that is on my desktop. When I do both of these it prompts me to select a program to open it with. This is where I have problems. I go to the programs folder and then to the sql server folder hoping to be able to open it. I haven't been able to find anything to open it with. I have looked at every file in the folders but none seem to be appropriate.
I am using sql server 2005 express edition. Is this a limitation of the database that are made with this free edition?
thanks,
Krist

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to transfer data from a SqlServer db to a SqlServer Express db. I tried to use the backup file of SqlServer, but this file is not valid for SqlServer Express. Or there any alternatives?

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!
Hello,
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
Thanks in advance,

I want to know if there is anyway to distribute jobs to a non system
administrator. In other words do they have to have System Admin rights, to be able to modify a job and run the job.
Suppose I create a DTS package (I am an old timer from SQL Server 2000 days but I suppose with 2005/2008 integration services there is a similar concept of package) which essentially reads data from a set of csv files, transforms it, and loads it into a SQL Server database. There are two scenarios:
i) The transformation involves applying functions on the columns before loading to the database.
ii) The transformation involves joins of data from multiple files.
My question is, can I run this DTS package on a machine which does NOT have SQL server installed for scenario i) and scenario ii) above? The idea is to distribute the actual processing across a set of computers to take off load from the main database server. If it can be done for either case then can u please explain how? Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm looking into adding OLAP Cubes as part of our software to be distributed with our OLTP and eventually OLAP databases.
Is there any books that deal with distributing OLAP Cubes and or security.
Our clients will have SQL Server with our databases.

Hi
I had replication set up and working but had to unbind the Pub/Sub and re add. Now on the ditribution task in Executive I am getting the following error
The last distributor job id and the last subscriber job id do not match. No jobs were available with a job id > 2147.
This is SQL Server 6.5 by the way.
Does anyone know what has caused this and what the solution is?

Can reports be set up to run and print automatically to specific printers on a nightly basis. What I'm trying to accomplish is, I have 6 users who need to see specific transaction reports for thier department each day. Of course I don't want them to see the other departments reports.. What options do I have....
Thank You!!
We have a large SQL database, and we need to send out updated records to many clients' sites which are not connected.
We currently have a tool which looks at the audit log of changes we made, creates a file based on this, which is then emailed to our clients. They then run a tool we created to remerge the changes.
I suspect SQL server replication might make all this possible. Am I right? Can SQL server produce a file automatically which can be applied to a remote database to update the tables as appropriate? From looking at some replication stuff it looks to me like you have to have the servers on the same network.
I'm writing an application that uses Sql Express 2005 with Advanced Services (for fulltext indexing) and will be needing to deploy the database server. I just realized that the install is 230+MB. Is there a way to trim this down to just the components/features I need?
Thanks,

Hello all,
Thanks for all your great forum topics; it gives me a nice break from coding all day!
I know the answer to this question is in the documentation that comes with the SQL Server Express [9] download, but I've been unable to find it. What I was wondering is what the restrictions were if you were to incorporate the "free" SQL Server Express for selling or general distribution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

If I want to distribute a VB database programm using MSDE I have to install MSDE seperately which can be a challenge for some users. It there a way I could deploy SQL Express with my VB program so the user would not have to do a seperate install? Is this possible in Visual Studio 2003 or do I need 2005?
Thanks

Hi
I would like to know, if it is at all possible for Setup files of SQL Server 2005 to be distributed. We have clients who currently use our software which makes use SQL Server 2000. We are looking ahead at distributing our new version with SQL Server 2005 and would like create an Installation package that will upgrade the database engine to the Workgroup or Enterprise editions of SQL Server 2005. Are there any suggestions around this topic, we are looking at ways in making this task of upgrading the engine as streamlined and automated for our Client. Please include advise with regards to licensing.
cheers

I am learning dotnet thru Microsoft Official Curriculum and I got stuck up at one point. That is I couldn't configure the required databases according to the sql server I have installed and configured. I created a doctors database and while configuring using the below code I couldn't know what is 'ASPNET' in "SELECT @s = @@servername + 'ASPNET'"
Also what is 'webuser'
---Configure Doctors
USE doctors
GO
DECLARE @s varchar(50)
SELECT @s = @@servername + 'ASPNET'
EXECUTE sp_grantlogin @s
EXECUTE sp_grantdbaccess @s, 'webuser'
GO
GRANT EXECUTE ON [getUniqueCities] TO webuser
GRANT EXECUTE ON [getDrSpecialty] TO webuser
GRANT SELECT ON [specialties] TO webuser
GRANT SELECT ON [doctors] TO webuser
GRANT SELECT ON [drspecialties] TO webuser
GO
Can anyone help me how to solve my problem?
Your help would be very much appreciated

Hi,
I have a hard time copying my db (or instance?) from a SQL Server 2000 db which resides at my web host. I have Sql Server 2005 Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express on my computer and, well, there is no "ftp-like" option so I don't have a clue about how to proceed. I've read many posts on the net on this matter but nothing seems to apply to this, in my mind, rather common, configuration.
I have receieved Excel docs that should be appended to tables in my db. I have successfully installed DTS (see http://mobiledeveloper.wordpress.com/ for details - it's really simple but takes two hours) so I have a wizard for the actual import from Excel. My plan is now to
1. download/detach/whatever my table/db/part of the web host's db and download it to my computer. Then
2. fill the tables with the data from Excel. And finally, to
3. upload/attach/whatever my local db or table to the web host again.
I'm sooo confused, please, please help me out here!
