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

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?

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,

I have a vb6 program running fine on a domain on SBS 2003 with the backend connected to sql express. I have added a third computer to the domain and I am unable to run the program on the third computer. I am almost certain that it is not a user, login, or role issue. I would appreciate ideas on how to localize this problem.
Thank you

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.

I am looking to see my two reports into one report. currently working on SSRS, where I can see one report.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing a custom application that is going to need a small database worth of information. (10MB to 100MB of information.) I was planning on using SQL Server Express following the Embedding SQL Server Express into Custom Applications white paper listed at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/express/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/emsqlexcustapp.asp
The data being stored is for internal program use only, specifically for data driven events within the application. This data needs to be able to be accessed quickly and is going to be considered confidential as it is in essence €śsource code€? for how a large portion of our program works.
Is there a way that this data can be used in the program without exposing the data to the end user? Is SQL Express the correct application for this or am I trying to force a square peg in a round hole? If this is not the correct tool does Microsoft offer another database application that would fulfill these needs?
I did some searching and didnt find anything that answered my question so here goes:
When I took my last SQL class they had a piece where we used frontpage to create a small webpage that would issue a select statement against the sql database everytime you refreshed the page. Is there a way to do this without finding a copy of frontpage? we dont seem to have one laying around anywhere and I havent been able to find any other WYSIWYG editors that had this database link feature.
I've made some static pages by using Excel to do the query, but I want one that will update dynamically once created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, doesnt have to be anything elaborate, just a something that allows me to issue a select statement.
Thanks,

Can I return a value in a variable from a SSIS program back to C# after the SSIS program is run from C#?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
When the embedded DTS package fails at runtime, and logging has been enabled for the package (and all log events selected for reporting on for the package and the task), the DTS error (i.e. any meaningful errors) are not thrown up to/caught by the SSIS/outer level. All you get is something like:
COMException - error returned from a call to a COM component.
Does anyone have any comments &/or know to get errors thrown from within an embedded DTS package, thrown up to the wrapping SSIS package?
Cheers,
Tamim.
Hi
I cant view my image in my reports after deploying them where as I can view my image in the preview tab. And also I can view the image if I take printout from the deplyed reports. What could be the reason?

Okay. Simple request. I have a local report in my VS2005 project. I want to embed my company logo in the header. How do I do this?? When I put an image item on the page it wants me to put something in the value for this? I've tried sending through a dataset but SSRS can't load data set information into the header! Why is this so complicated? I don't want to embed a dynamic database image, just a static image that will be embedded in my program. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

I want to know if there is anyway to distribute jobs to a non system

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.

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.
Hi,
I am getting an error when doing the above.
I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy:
SQL-DMO error 21776: general error.
On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package.
I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Tamim.

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?

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?

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 am unable to use the Text Qualifer in SSIS package Flat file connection manager Editor, it says, "The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifier in data",why is that?
it was supported nicely in DTS 2000. also I have no control on Source file TXT. so I can not eliminate the Text qualifer (") from the file.
any advices.
