Hi all,
I am developing a program to connect to SQL 2005 Express. I don't know if I need any CAL license in order to make the connection. If it is not necessary for the Express Edition case, how about if my client upgrate to SQL 2005 in the future? Do I need CAL license for SQL 2005?
Thanks for any advice given.
Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2005 express edition on Windows 2003 Server, but i am unable to make a connection using
sqlcmd -S <servnameinstancename> -U <loginID> -P <pwd> -d <dbname>
but i am able to make the connection using
sqlcmd -S <servnameinstancename>,<portnumber> -U <loginID> -P <pwd> -d <dbname>
What could be the possible reason for this and how can i configure sql
server 2005 express edition to make connections without specifying any
portnumber in the connection string. Both the sqlserver database
service and browser services are running.
Regards
Salil

Hello..
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..
Best regards,

I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Hello,
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Hi!
I have created a setup in visual studio and set the sql server as a pre-requsites.
now when the setup is run from
setup.exe
it checks whether sql server is installed... if installed then continues otherwise install sql server express edition, now this installation is silent,
I need to set the sa password during installation of sql server . i have no option to set the password during installation, can any one help
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>

<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection.

Hi,
I€™ve developed a BI system using the SQL Server 2005 Developer€™s Edition.
SSAS, SSIS and SSRS have been added to a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Server in preparation for delivering the developed database to this live environment.
So I am able to connect directly to the Database Engine, SSAS, SSIS and SSRS successfully from the actual SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition box which is sat on a Windows 2003 Server operating system.
However when I launch SQL Server Management Studio from a desk top PC which is connected to the SQL Server Standard Edition box I can€™t connect to either SSIS or SSRS, however I can connect to the Database Engine and it also seems that I can connect to SSAS OK.
I am using Windows Authentication where the I used a SQL Server account which exists with €śsysadmin€? permissions and this SQL Server account has the same login name as the Windows Server 2003 desktop login.
What do I do next please?
I have a huge connectivity issue that I can't seem to solve.
We're using SQL Express Edition as a local data store that is participating as a subscriber to SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Perfectly valid and supported.
Now the issue. I have the Express Edition on one machine connected just fine, but the other one absolutely refuses. Here is what I did for the one that connected correctly:
1. Enable remote connections for the Express Edition instance and restart the instance
2. Added the SQL Agent service account on the server to the SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$machine$SQLEXPRESS group on the local machine (yes, I want it to have that level of authority)
3. Connected to the machine with Express Edition to the network via VPN.
4. On the server, opened Management Studio and connected to the Express Edition on the machine to verify connectivity
Everything works.
On the machine that refuses, I've duplicated the steps above and it absolutely refuses to connect. I have verified that remote connections are enabled. I have tried connecting via both name as well as IP, just to rule out DNS resolution - neither works. I don't have any security issues. I can go all the way to mapping the c$ share on the machine with the Express Edition directly from the desktop of the server. I can browse for SQL Servers on the network and the machine shows up in the list, so I know that it is being recognized as having an instance of SQL Server. I can't find a single, solitary reason why it should throw a login failure. The message that I'm getting is as follows:
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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi there,
Anyone know how I can replace (or download) the sqlexpr32.exe bootstrap package with the advanced services SP2 edition of SQL 2005 express ?

I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

Hello
I am a newbie to this list and hope this gets posted. Sent one out yesterday which never saw the light of day!
In my installation here, I have the security database ASPNETDB.mdb and to keep things independent and robust, I created another database MYDATADB.mdb.
Now, I have a requirement to maintain a custom USERS table in MYDATADB. To meet this requirement, I tried creating an ON INSERT trigger on the ASPNET_USERS table.
However, when I say 'INSERT INTO MYDATADB.dbo.USERS ......', within the trigger body, I get an error saying 'Invalid object'. It seems that MYDATADB is not visible from ASPNETDB. Could there be any other reason for this error?
Are these two databases similar to separate servers? Do I have to create a server group or something -- or a data link of some sort? Please advise and thanks!

I am building an application using sql server express. The .mdf file is located in my appdata directory and connection string is stored in the web.config. Here is an the connection string
<add name="blogConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|log.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
The application runs great locally on my personal computer debugging with Visual Studio 2005 but when i put it on our dev server i get the following error. I would use full blown Sql 2005 but our client doesnt have it. I thought if you had sql 2005 installed on the server you didnt have to install the express edition. Any insight?
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.

Is SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, compatable with Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition ?
