First Database Complete, Can't Connect!
Nov 22, 2007
Hello all! A while ago I started cataloging my collection of old radio recordings and I wrote a simple Visual Basic 2005 program to display them in a nice UI. I have implemented an SQL database with the project and all is fine, when I run the program it connects to the sql server and downloads the data. But when I try and change something by connecting from within Visual Basic at runtime with this code:
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click
Dim ConnectionString As New SqlConnection("Server=MARK-HOMESQLEXPRESS;Database=Library.mdf;Uid=MARK-HOMEMark;Pwd=sodoff;")
Dim sqlString As String
ConnectionString.Open()
sqlString = "UPDATE JackBenny SET Rating='Excellent' WHERE [Episode Number]=" & epNumber
ConnectionString.BeginTransaction(sqlString)
ConnectionString.Close()
End Sub
I get this error code in the log and a general unable to login error within Visual basic itself:
2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Login failed for user 'Mark'. [CLIENT: <local machine>
The state of 5 refers to "User ID is not valid." but I can login to SQL Server Management Studio Express just fine with the username and password in the code posted. Also of note, I can login to the Server Managment with the sa account username and password. When I use the credentials in visual basic code, same error. Any ideas? I am trying to connect to a database which is on this computer (local) in the root folder of the application, called Library.mdg.
Thanks so much all

A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server 2005 developer. To pave the way for this I removed SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Express. Since then I've been unable to connect from any of my applications or websites in Visual Studio 2005 to either:- my new 2005 Developer database engine- my colleagues 2005 developer database engine. My colleague can connect to my databases from his visual studio on his machine. I am receiving unspecified OleDb errors.Anyone else had this happen? Anyone know where I should start looking? I've uninstalled all .Net frameworks and re-installed 1.1 and 2.0.Many thanks, Sam

Script: [URL] ....
I need to move all of the contents of one database into anther with the same schema, and it looks like this might be just what I need. But it is from 2007, so I wonder if it is still current?
Also, having tried to run it on another database to generate the script that will actually do the copying, I have a few questions. It looks like it generates statements to import the data twice. For example:
BULK INSERT [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
FROM 'C:Tempi1.Dat'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:Tempi1.FMT',
BATCHSIZE = 1000000,
ERRORFILE = 'C:TempBI_i1.ERR',
TABLOCK);
And a little later:
INSERT INTO [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Tempi1.Dat',
FORMATFILE='C:Tempi1.Xml'
) as t1;
That does not really make any sense to me. It also generates statements like this:
bcp "[TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[GDB_GEOMNETWORKS]" format nul -n -CRAW -f "C:TempGDB_GEOMNETWORKS.fmt" --S"PGALLUCC-M7" -T
What is the deal with the double hyphen by the servername? Won't it just see that as a comment? It can be easily fixed, but I am just suprised that it is still there after all these years. My purpose in doing this is a desparate attempt to salvege a database that sits on a server with multiple drive errors. These prevent backups, so I cannot just restore the database on the new server. That is why I want to try an approach that goes table by table, so that at least all the tables which are not touched by the drive errors can be moved.
It is a 3 TB database running on SQL Server 2008 R2 std. ed.

I have an application that creates a new database during installation,and I've noticed some strange behavior. Once I've created thedatabase, I am able to immediately create tables and populate lookupdata, provided I remain connected to the server. If, however, Idisconnect and attempt to reconnect immediately, I'll get an errorsaying that my login is invalid for the new database.I can get around this by having my code simply wait 5 seconds beforeattempting to reconnect, but I'm curious to see if anybody here cangive an explaination for why this is happening. Here is a bit ofpseudo code to explain what I'm seeing:open new connectioncreate databasecreate tablespopulate tablesclose connection// open new connection /* can't do this yet, as it would break */for (int a=0; a<5; a++){Thread.Sleep(2000)try{open new connectionbreak;}catch{Debug("still waiting...");}}Running my version of this code, I'll see that "still waiting..."message go past 2-3 times before SQL Server wakes up and realizes thatI'm allowed to connect to it. Anybody know why?Thanks,Jason KesterExpat Software Consulting Serviceshttp://www.expatsoftware.com/---Get your own Travel Blog, with itinerary maps and photos!http://www.blogabond.com/

What can I do to make OnComplete and OnSuccess mean something in SQL Server 2000 DTS?I have this pretty simple package that imports data into a table from an XLS file, then runs an external console application which manipulates the data and drops into a different table.That data is then used to create a CSV file. If I execute each step individually, the whole thing works. But what it happening is that the end file is being created before the console app is finished.I have a workflow line (on complete) between the 2 processes, but that doesn't seem to mean anything. To run the external app I am just using an active x script task...CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "my file" Any advice?

I am new to windows apps in .net 2.0. I am trying to create a windows service that will connect to a database and email info out to people that have had status changes.
Right now, I can not connect to the database. Here is the connection string:
Private cnn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=IPAddress;Initial Catalog=TheServer;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=userid;Password=password provider=SQLOLEDB.1;connect timeout=3600")
This is how I am trying to connect:
cnn.Open()
myCMD.CommandTimeout = 0
dr = myCMD.ExecuteReader
I keep getting an error message that I can not be logged on. I know that the credentials are correct because I use them for the web app. Something has to be wrong with my connection string, but what?
Thanks,

I am attempting to connect to a database that has been uploaded to my server from my webpages on the server. This is the connection string that is currently used:
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Restaurants.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
When attempting to connect to the database I receive this error message:
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)
I realize that I cannot make a remote connection using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but cannot find the proper connection string for it to connect to the uploaded database.
Accessing the database doesn't require a log on by the user as all the information is public.
The authentication mode in the web.config file is set to "Forms".
If there is any other information required so that this problem can be solved, please ask for it.
Thank you in advance,
Me

Ok I have several sites on a server that have connected to databases on a different server for a long. Out of the blue today none of the sites on the server can connect to any databases on the other server. However, sites on other servers can connect to databases on the same db server.This is the message I get: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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 -
Could not open a connection to SQL Server)The database server runs SQL Server 2000 not 2005 I can connect to the database from desktop (with an asp.net application or sql server management studio), I can ping the database server fine from the production web server, but my applications can't connect for some reason. There is nothing in the event log to suggest a problem, any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello,
I have posted awhile ago about this issue, but after taking the advice and trying to get help from GoDaddy, nothing has worked yet. I am using the user login control, and then I changed the connection string in the web config file according to what Go Daddy's help file said, making sure to make proper server, id, and password names. It still won't go through, can anyone help?

I recently uninstalled SQL Server due to connection issues I started having. I could start the DB and connect/edit tables in Ent Mgr etc, but all the sudden, none of my code could make DB connections.
So, after reinstalling now nothing works. I cannot even connect in Ent. Manager. I went to Administrative Tools->Services to make sure it was running, and SQLSERVER isn't even listed under services. What happened? Is there another step after installing SQL Server I missed to get the service up and going. Do I need to do something in ODBC connections?
I am on Windows XP with SP2.

Greetings,
A newbie needing some guidance. We have SQL running on our Windows 2003 server. When I connect via the Enterprise manager I have two instances of SQL running.
SRV01ACT7 (Windows NT)
SRV01WEBAPP (Windows NT)
When I click on the ACT instance I get the following error:
A connection could not be established to SRV01/ACT7
Reason: Login Failed for user xxxxadministrator.
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties.
I only get the message when I try to connect to the SRV01ACT. The connection to SRV01WEBAPP works fine.
I checked with SQL server manager and both instances are running and no one has reported any problems connecting to either one of them.
The way it acts, its as if SQL server has lost the ability to authorize a connection via the windows account. As if it has lost its associatoin to the administrator account. So while the instance still runs and is functional, I just can't connect to it and manage it.
I have connected via remote desktop from a WinXP machine and the server console. Both end up with the same error.
Can Someone give me step by step instructions on how to correct this?
Any help please!!!

Update: I got it working. I had to create an odbc connection on my machine (guess I forgot to do that this time).
I copied a SQL 2005 database from another machine (detached it first. I can connect directly in SFT SQL Server Mgmt Studio, but I cannot connect from VFP using SQLCONNECT(). I've overlooked something. My login is the db_owner and everything else. Any ideas? SQL Server is running on the same machine that I have VFP9 on. It is setup for both SQL Server and Windows Authentication and I can connect to every other database I have attached.

I can't connect to a SQL Server 2000 database.
I opened SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and tried to connect. In the Connect to Server dialog box, when I go to the Server Name dropdown and browse for my database server on the network, the server is not in the list. (A different SQL Server 2000 database server does show up there.) I tried manually entering the server name (and password, etc) but it doesn't connect.
When I go to the server, the db is running and apps that use it work fine. I can ping the server, and I can map a drive to it.
I can't connect using Visual Studio 2008 either. When I try to create a SqlDataSource in Visual Studio the db server isn't in the dropdown list. Also, when I manually create a connection string it doesn't connect.

Hi I recently installed SQL server but I can't connect to the database. The error message is "under the configuration SQL server does not allow remote connections". What does this mean? I have already followed Step 1, 2 and 3 in the FAQ but I got the same error message. I had enabled TCP/IP. I have changed the values in IPALL and I have added SQL to the firewall exceptions list, but I still can't connect. And I don't understand, isn't the server on the local computer, so what does it means by "remote connections"?
