I am learning SQL Server 2005 Express, and want to use the Northwind data base as used in many code examples. I wanted to attach the Northwind data base via SQL Management Studio, but cannot find a Northwind.mdf file.
When I do a search using 'Northwind', I see there are already a couple of different versions of Northwind already loaded. One appears to be associated with SQL Server Mobile Edition (Samples folder) and another seems to be associated with Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Quickstart.
Can I use one of these existing Northwind databases (none have .mdf extention) for SQL Server 2005 or do I need to download yet another version?
I have sql server 2000 developer, sql server 2005 (workgroup, standard and enterprise), express and compact 3.5 and i need to test 2000, 2005 express and a full version of 2005 and compact all on the same machine.
Has anyone done something like this and are there any issues with this? i have seen some threads about 2000 and 2005 being fine as long as one is a default instance and one is a named instance. Would i be able to do the same with say express being the default instance and then 2000 and 2005 both having named instances? And is there a particular order i should install? I already have 2005 express as the default instance and compact installed already.
I'm working on a DB that will be used in separate physical locations. These DBs will be identical in structure and completely independent of each other. Whilst some tables will retain similar or identical information, there is a large amount of content that will diverge.However, there is a central location that will need to manage these DBs. There will be a requirement from this central location to run reports, often comparing data between them, and to push data into each child location. There is no requirement for the child locations to 'share' information and indeed the volume concerned and the intermittent/low-bandwidth nature of their connections would make this undesirable. If an individual selection of data does need to be shared between I'm happy for it to be uploaded centrally, a decision made, and manually pushed to each child-location.
Which brings me to my real question. Should I try and include composite Primary Keys in many of the tables (to include probably an incrementing number and another field of site ID) so that when I absorb them all back centrally I can put them into one large DB. Or should I keep them as separate DBs in the central location and use some fairly 'normal' mechanisms for mirroring to sites; accepting that this will make running comparisons between them more difficult and potentially more difficult to write interactivity for centrally?
The best 'real world' comparison I can think of is transactions in retail shops. How do these transaction logs get stored centrally when they're all generating individual transaction numbers that are only unique in that location?
I have one publicacion on ms sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 Enterprise w.sp2 and one subscriber on MS sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 w.sp2, but I have also 3 subscriber on MS SQL 2000 w.sp3/MS Windows 2000 advanced server w.sp4. They replicate the same database with a publication compatible with 80RTM, All works fine with data replication, but I can't replicate DDL to MS sql 2005 suscriber, I don't care that don't replicate DDL, but I want manually alter triggers at MS sql 2005 suscriber, but I get this error at the subscriber on when I run the ALTER TRIGGER statement :
Msg 21531, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_altertrigger, Line 67
The DDL statement cannot be performed at the Subscriber or Republisher.
Msg 21530, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 181
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Procedure TU_Centros_Distribucion_Articulos, Line 58
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Any help will be appreciated,
PD. I miss sql2000 replication, where I have full control over the database logic
I just finished an OLEDB interface written in VS2005 C++ that works with Sql Server Compact Edition 3.1. My team now wants me to make my interface compatible with Sql Server 2000, 2005, and 2005 Express. My question is...what header/lib files do I need installed and in my stdafx.h to pull this off? Is there a particular order I need to include these files in?
Right now I'm just including the following for SSCE:
#include <ssceerr30.h>
#include <ssceoledb30.h>
Once I get the right includes figured out, the next step is figuring out what CLSID's I should use in the CoCreateInstance call. I *think* I'm supposed to use CLSID_SQLOLEDB for 2000, CLSID_SQLNCLI for 2005, and I haven't a clue for 2005 Express. I could use some clarification on this as well.
Thanks a ton in advance...I've always been impressed by the MSDN boards...
One of the big problems with the old MDAC was different versions on different client machines. You would test your app with the latest version say, but when you deployed it, it might fail as the client has a different version.
My company develops software for Municipal Government clients. These clients use other SQL Server applications as well as ours, but they can only use one version of the client software (MDAC) on a given desktop. That means if we require a particular MDAC version, but the clients other applications from other vendors don't officially support that MDAC version, the client is in a real jam.
Our software also supports Oracle, which allows our software to specify a particular Oracle Home which points to a directory with a particular version of the Oracle client dlls (along with corresponding registry entries for that Oracle Home), such that we control the exact client version of the Oracle software that the client uses with our applications. This will not interfere with, and is completely seperate, from the default Oracle home installed when you install the Oracle client software.
What I would like to see for the Native Client is the ability to have our applications use the version of the Native Client that we wish to support and deploy without interfering with the Native Client version used by other applications. Have a default Native Client, but allow applications to somehow specify a different Native Client version/set of DLLs.
Is there any such functionality with the Native Client? (I didn't see any mention of such in the documentation, but I thought I'd ask)
If not, are there any future plans to support multiple Native Client versions on the same desktop?
I currently have three SQL Server instances installed on my notebook. One is v8, which I believe is used by an accounting application. The other two are as follows:-
SQL Server MSSMLBIZ
SQL Server SQLEXPRESS
The second one (SQLEXPRESS) fails to start generating the following error:-
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
Other services listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager are:-
SQL Server Integration Services - which runs apparently normally.
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Browser
The last thre of these are run under LocalSystem.
I have been trying to install the SQLServer SP2 to the SQLEXPRESS instance for some number of days now, but each time it runs, it fails to install.
I am beginning to wonder if there is a sequence of installation for each of the above instances that should be followed. Can anyone give me any suggestions, or answers to the above problems?
From the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384469.aspx (Walkthrough: Creating Stored Procedures for the Northwind Customers Table, I copied the following sql code:

Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
=============================================================================================================== I know I recreated the NORTHWIND Database from a different Database before and I did not do anything for the entry in sysdatabases. How can I change the entry in sysdatabases for database 'NORTHWIND' now? Please help and advise.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but it seems the most appropriate. My "Teach yourself about .Net, Life, the Universe and Everything" book uses the Northwind database in Sql Server format. Is this available for download somewhere?
I have to do an exercize where i am using Northwind sample database. I am normally accustomed to linking to a database on another server. Is there a way i can just include the Northwind database to my project. In general, I need to find out how to link to the Northwind db so I can start querying and processing data. thanks for your help
I want use the the Northwind database do some example! I had installed the Visual Web Deveplopment Express Edition and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition .but I build one new Website and connect the Northwind database but i can't find the it from the Database Explorer.why?
Can't open Northwind - asp.net - dataaccess-sqldatasource
I remembered doing walkthrough using Northwind. However it wasn't an http project but a file project using the development server. Northwind allowed me to add, edit and insert, and the web page looked fine. I opened a simple project just to see whether I could get my sqlserver on the internet. (vs studio 2005, sqlserver 2005) I created the project in http location http://localhost/Northwind . I dragged a sqldatasource to the page, configuring it to display ID and ProductName. I clicked advanced, but noticed the generate insert, edit and delete were grayed out. That told me something was wrong with my authetification. I configured my sqlserver 2005 to have integrated security. I built the solution and website, then pressed cntl-F5. I got a login error. Nowhere did the page ask me for username and password. First questions - how do I get this to open up a web page, and how to I get it to allow me to generate insert, edit and delete statements? dennist685 Server Error in '/Northwind' Application.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cannot open database "Northwind" requested by the login.

We are in need of a solution to our problem. We are working for a customer and cannot use their database to work on during development. We have copied the layout and made a sample db for our development. Rather than writing down all the changes we make to our own db and then making the same changes to the customer's, is there a better way? Can we use something like sourcesafe? Thankyou
I've got a few SQL Servers at work which are development servers using SQL Server Standard Edition. I would like to downgrade them to SQL Server Developer Edition to save the Standard Edition licenses for production purposes. However, i do not wish to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Developer Edition, restore all the dbs. Is there a way to change the version of the SQL Server ?
Hi All, Can we have 2 versions of SQL Server on the same server? Example, can I install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same server? Please let me know about all the combinations possible/not possible.
Hi I have just started using the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and wondering how to install the InstNwnd.sql from the sql file. I can't find any way to insert the database
I've running MSDE on a win xp box with SP2. The SQL server service manager indicates that the SQL server is running. I'm using Visual Studio 2003. According to the install page for 101 VB and C# Code Samples I should install the .NET frameword samples db.. See http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=08E3D5F8-033D-420B-A3B1-3074505C03F3&displaylang=en
I cd to the appropriate dir and run osql -E -S (local)NetSDK -i InstNwnd.sql (the cmd given on the page noted above). I get the following error:

I'm a newbie to .NET and SQL server so this makes no sense to me. If the SQL server service manager indicates that the SQL server is running why do I get that error and what is the work around?
Thanks .NET great ones for helping a newbie get off the ground...
I'm installing Northwind Database onto Local Computer.

"___Localhost_____" Can someone comfirm as to whether this is correct or not... Thank You.
I have installed MS SQL server eval edition and read through a lot of BOL, just about got my head around users and authentication etc and have a pretty good grounding on db design and architecture.
I now want to mess around with the sample databases a bit to get used to the SQL server interface before I start creating new ones etc but beyond random simple queries that I make up i'm struggling with what to do. I'm sure there are some microsoft tutorials based on the northwind and pubs databases I just cant seem to find any anywhere.

I have a question in regards to SQL Server 2000 and its Query Analyzer. I am trying to create certain queries and I need a Northwind database to work with. However, I can't seem to add the database to the dbs' combo box. Basically, I could not find the way to add this database to the analyzer so I can practice with it. Only databases that are there are the system's ones: Master, Model, MSDB and tempdb.
So how to add this database to the analyzer's settings?

Is there a way to do the following -- I need to be able to update a table based on a selection by a DDL. So here are my two update queries: 1. Update RequestData Set Approved = True Where DeptID = @DeptID2. Update RequestData Set Approved = True (Yes I need to be able to do all of the rows at once.) But it's all based on the selection of the DDL---I really don't want to have to create two seperate sql commands any ideas?
Is there a way to remove old versions of a DTS package without rewriting the entire package? These packages run fine but take up more space than I am willing to allocate.
