Hi - I am about to sign up with a new hosting company and I wanted to check my use of Express edition would be ok with their setup (full version 2005), they replied:
----------
yes the formats are the same but some functions in the Express Edition are not supported by the full Version as the Express Edition is for development only. We cant say if you will run into any errors as we don't know what you do and which functions you are using.
----------
Is this true - I figured it would be more likely that the the Express edition represented a subset of the full versions functionality and since they produced the same format, would be compatible in this direction. It smells of BS to me but i just wanted to check with the experts...what do you reckon?
hello guys I am developing ASP.NET applications in order to build a portfolio, im using MS SQL EXPRESS databases, do i need a hosting account that allows multiple sql databses or does SQL express fit in to your application, eg as many as you like in as amany applications. I am asking this because i know MS SQL server is a different thing from MS SQL EXPRESS server and hosting companies say stuff like 1 MS SQL databse and stuff. I have multiple applications that wont need the real MS SQL databse because there not live just portifolio stuff. Can somone sugest a ASP.NET hosting company please a cheap one. Thanks Nadeem
I am currently developing an asp.net 2.0 app which uses form authenication now implemented in a sql server express mdf database file. I wonder if there will be problems when I want to deploy this app on a hosted server from a hosting provider. I have the impression that hosting a SQLexpress user instance is currently not supported by hosting companies. Is this correct? Should I revert to an msaccess database instead (we don't want to pay extra for full blown sql server storage). Ronald
Hi guys, I hope this is the correct place to post this question. 1) My website makes use of the Membership and Roles of asp.net 2. 2) I have uploaded my website to a shared hosting server, which doesn't support sql express (mdf files). It does support mysql, so I used a custom Membership provider for MySql. 3) It worked greate on my local computer, however (!!) it still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file in the AppData folder. 4) Obviously, when I tried to run it on the website, I got an error. My questions: Why my website still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file even if I am not using it anymore for the Membership ? How can I disable it, in order for it to run on a server which does not support it ? Thanks, Itye.
I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer. What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible. Who can help me out here? What can I do...
All-- Please help. I have deployed my site to my shared host and I am getting the following RTE... An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file... ..App_DataCommerceDB.mdf failed ...and I cannot find the issue. Note that I have given Full-Permissions on root folder for the IUSR account and for the ASPNET account. The full error message is below. Anyway, do you have an suggestions? My web hosting provider has advertised that they do support SQL Express 2005. What exactly do I need to ask them to do in order to get this working? Please advise. Thank you. --Mark Kamoski

I have developed asp .net wbsite with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and Crystal reporting. I want to know that whether i can deploy my website with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition? If yes, Please say SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is a local database version like MS Access or server database version. And also give me name of website or server name on which i can host my website.
For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.

What is needed for a hoster / hosting company to be able to host .Net applications with SQL Server 2005 Express database?
My questions regarding this issue basically are:
If a hoster has several sites hosted on a server, can each one of them have its own SQL Express database? Or, do they have to be migrated to full SQL Server?
What is with the Upsize Tool for SQL Server Express (or something like that) - is it available? Generally, how do hosters do their hosting - do they have SQL Server SPLA signed? Or do they just have SQL Server 2005 Express and allow users just to copy their web sites and databases to server?

I already copy web site include the app_data into my web hosting, but unfortunately i dont know the connections strings???? when i ask the provider they told me to use the management studio for the databse for connection into their server.
i also noticed if i install the application which use sql server dataabse it can be install the database including the tables and the data, so how is it i want to make my web site including the database be like installer. Like CommunityServer Forum? i just install into web hosting..is it possible?? How the way?? Thank you
Hi, I am looking to using the express edition toolkit for its BI tools but noticed the that it doesn't support a Database engine. If I am running SQL Express edition, & install the Express toolkit, will this remove the Database engine functionality of the Express edition? Will there be conflicts? Will they run as separate GUI's or is the toolkit added to the Express edition GUI?
Thank you very much for any suggestions anybody might have on this
I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?
I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server.
So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determined hacker could get into any system , I guess. There are no credit card #'s stored in this app, but in theory there must be a way. I run all access to the db through stored procedures with permissions, for whatever it's worth.
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..

I have uninstalled the SQL Server Express Edition that I have installed from the CDs that were given to me during a Chicago Conference when READY TO LAUNCH Visual Studio 2005, SQL SERVER 2005, and Biz Talk 2005. Then I went to microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/register/default.aspx and downloaded and installed the so called Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and I got the messages Error that you read below. Then I Uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and went again to msdn website and downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Advanced Services SP1 and installed it. I got again the same message as below.
MESSAGE:
1. First comes a window with the title: €œsetup.exe €“ Unable to Locate Component€? And it displays a message: This application has failed to start because MSTDCPRX.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 2. After I click the OK button of this window it comes another window with the title: €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2005 Server Setup€? And it displays a message: Failed to load SqlSpars.dll

I installed SQL 2005 express edition in my pc (Pro XP), then I can login from SQL 2005 Managerment Studio Express. After a few days later, I can't do it and an error message as belows:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) It seems that the default setting does not allow remote connections, however, I connected it before and havn't change any setting. I try to reinstall the studio express but still not working.
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)". An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard. Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next. Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider. Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder). Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...
I'm getting an error while trying to install SQL Server Express 2005 Express Edition. I'm attaching the log of the installation process here. Please throw some light on the same.

We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?
I got a problem in my development phase. I'm developing a web-application system that running merge database technology which is centralized database and distributed database. This is because my customer want a highly optimum system standby.
My centralized database running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and the distributed database running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (because it is free). Each of these database, the users can change the data on its database. So, every database must have the same data. from my understanding, each server must act as Publisher and Subscriber. Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition be a Publisher?
If not, what the solution you all may suggest, because cost is the first factor. If my architecture is not correct, so what you all suggest to me to resolve the problem.
Thanks so much. Any suggestion and opinion is highly appreciate and I'm highly thanks to you all.
I recently purchased a copy of Visual Studio 2005 Professional last month and it came with SQL Server Developer Edition. However, I noticed it also installs the express edition. If I choose not to install the Developer Edition (Im quite new to SQL) can I deploy a database I develop in the express edition on a regular SQL server?
I have a SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?
