Well, its a bit embarrasing to have to ask such ignorant questions, but......
I've been using Oracle for a long time. And VERY occasionally I dabbled just a bit into SQL Server 2000.......
I now would like to create a database driven web application, so I downloaded the Express set. And the books online, in the hope they'd be well organized and provide simple straightforward information on how to do things.... If its there, I'm not finding it.
First question: Is there SOMEWHERE online tutorial/information on specifically how to do things? Something for a user familiar with relational databases and design and such, but needing to understand specifically how THIS database product works?
For example, I managed to get the management studio express open. And in "Registered Servers" there's something called Database Engine, within which there's serversqlexpress.
Can I create an instance (or whatever it is in the MS world) OTHER than sqlexpress, and do I need to? I ask because it appears sqlexpress is on my "C" drive, and I don't want it there... There appear to be system databases within sqlexpress, and I presume they'll grow... SO, do I need to get all this off to another disk? And, if so, how? Feel free to point me to the right documentation - I tried the SQL Server 2005 Tutorials, but after going through the "lesson" on SQL Server Management Studio I realized it was geared toward "how to open a window" rather than how to actually do anything... I found another topic in here that pointed to the "Getting Started White Paper", but that doesn't appear to be valid any more. It also pointed to the "Management Studio Express Primer" but that link just throws a 404 error...
And what on earth does the SQL Server Configuration Manager do? I've gotta be missing something that's obvious to the informed observer...
I am looking for a resource that will speak to the process of how to create a SQL Express database within VS 2005 - create relationships within the Database Diagrams (right now it complains that it does not have a valid dbo user and that I do not have permission impersonate the dbo user - if i tel it to grant me access it gives me the same message) - what security issues need to be considered as far as the SQL Express stuff is concerned. I am also wanting to know what pieces I need to have on my Internet and Intranet web servers so that when I delpoy my .net 2.0 app that the servers will be able to deal with the SQL Express database that gets copied out there? Should SQL Express on the web server be set to windows auth or mixed mode auth? If I choose windows auth does that mean that the ISP (internet server) has to have an NT account created for my web app so that I can connect to the SQL mdf? I guess I am just kinda struggling with the process from creation of the database to making sure that when I deploy the application that it will be available. Any help would be appreciated!Thanks,Derek
Was trying to open AdventureWorks when i got this error: "There is no editor available "C: Program Flies.....AdventureWorksDW_Log.LDF' Make sure the application for the file type(.LDF) is installed. How can this error be corrected? I also have some error on mdf not installed.May i know how should be the initally steps to be done inorder for me to view this database. And if i do have a database from microsoft access, what are the steps that i need to do inorder to get it export to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. Please advise as i really new to it. Thanks!
How do you get started? I downloaded the SQL 7 software and the sample databases, and did the start program to run the SQL Server Configuration Manager (Local), but what do you do now?
And now i'm looking for what in SQL Server 2000 used to be: Management-> SQL Server Agent-> jobs Can anyone help me find where i can add a job in SQL Express please? Thanks
I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
It cause both instances on the server get restarted itself, did a search on the net and not much luck with it. Got some people saying its because of the clsuter admin can't query SQL and it just fail itself. And its using Name pipe rather then TCP/IP, so by putting an alias there will get the problem solved. But I would like to be sure. Does anyone have that issue before? And found a solution? Thanks
I need some help please. My MSDE database won't start after a reboot. This is a SurfControl MSDE database. It wasn't too healthy yesterday when the log on the SurfControl MSDE database filled so I truncated it and shrunk the file. Everything was cool until I rebooted the server today:-(
Trying to start the service it says "the system cannot find the file specified" - ok to that and it says "An error 2 (the system cannot find the file specified" occured while performing this service operation on the mssqlserver service "
sqlserver.exe -c -f gets this result

Any ideas? I reall need to get it working. I don't think there are any backups
I'm at a complete loss as to how to use databases in ASP.NET. Everything seems to be set up for SQL Express, but I need to use SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server is not located on the same machine as the website. Then there are the databases I can create through Visual Studio 2005, what exactly are these? Are these local, are these via SQL Express, or do these somehow link to the database server? What does it mean to attach and detach? There are a lot of pieces here, and I don't know how they fit together. First, can someone help me with an overview of how all this fits together? Second, how can I use SQL Server 2005, and not SQL Server Express for my data and for membership, personalization, profiles, etc.? Finally, should I be able to connect to the remote SQL Server database from my home development machine? Do I need to use IIS to do this? Thanks in advance for your help, Diane
Hi there, Can anyone suggest me any other way to start NT servies like starting the services from command prompt. Problem faced: We have Oracle running under Windows NT. Some times when we stop the Oracle server, we need to start the server twice through window menu. However, we are able to start the server only once through command prompt. Is this known problem? Any permanent solutions to this? Any recommendations/suggestions.. thank you. regards, Nana
I have recently upgraded to VS 2005, .NET 2.0, and SQL Server 2005 and am trying to upgrade some of my older Pocket PC 2003 apps. I am trying to educate myself but have become a bit confused about how to proceed and was hoping some of the knowledgable people in this group could point me in the right direction.
I have developed several data collection applications that used Pocket Access on the device and very easily sychronized with a custom MS Access database via Active Sync. I am slowly coming to the realization that using SQL Server Mobile will NEVER be that easy (which is a shame). My questions are......
1. If I want to upgrade to SQL Server Mobile, is there any way that I can continue to easily "synchronize" my data with a MS Access database? If so, any suggestion/links as to how to do this would be greatly appreciated!
2. If the above scenario is not possible, what is the best solution for me to create a distributable application that synchronizes into a local database on a computer that DOES NOT have SQL Server installed?
3.) Related to above, is creating a distributable SQL Server Express database the answer? Can I use the built in SQL Server synchronization tools via this scenario?
get a prompt up (in a program like telnet / msdos window) so that I can run sql commands on my webmatrix accounts sql server. I've been trying to connect using telnet but i think maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick or I'm doing something wrong.
here's a link where you click through "how to connect" on the "myserver page" I searched the page for "connect" and found 0 occurances.
SQL Browser could not be started. Reason: SQL Browser could not be started. Reason:Service 'SQLBROWSER' start request failed.

I downloaded VS studio express, and created a personal website using the wizard to test drive the thing. When I hit ctr + f5 to run the sample provided, then I get this 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 tried disabling the firewall (Norton's firewall because Windows is disable always). Any suggestions? This is a brand-new machine, running XP sp2, just downloaded the VS studio express.
I have been running SQL Server 2005 Express with the Management Studio Express. I just downloaded and installed the Eval (Trial) version of SQL Server 2005 but have not been able to get it working. Here are a couple of questions:1. Is there a potential confict with having both versions on my machine. I don't want to uninstall express since I may have to do back to it in 180 days.2. Is there a program comparable to the Management Studio for the Eval version of SQL Server 2005?3. How do I access the Eval version? I found the folder where it installed on my C drive but don't know what to do with it.Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi! I have a small problem , but it's still a problem. I have a SQL Server Agent job that runs a .cmd file. This CMD is logged to a textfile. This process is locked, waiting for me to type a password, but I have nowhere to type that pass.
What I want to do is kill the process that i locking the logfile, because since the logfile is locked, the job cannot be started again (and it's a scheduled job). The jobs status is 'Not Running'. I have solved the problem by making the cmd write to another logfile, so the schedule will work, but the file is still locked, and I don't want to restart the server since it's a productionserver.
How to I find the process that is initialized from SQL Agent, and kill it?
We have noticed in our environment slowness when starting SSIS packages from SQL Server jobs. I did a quite detailed study on when the slowness actually occurs and what are the consequences. Here are the results.
The SSIS package execution is slow if all the following is true:
The package is started from a job. If started directly as a SSIS package, the execution is fast. The job is running on a 64 bit Windows Server (SQL Server 2005 SP2). The SSIS package and the job are either on the same server or on different servers (the second server is SQL Server 2005 SP1). If the job is run on a 32-bit workstation (Windows XP SP2) the execution is fast (the SSIS package still being on the server). The package contains tasks. § If there are no tasks, just an empty sequence container, the execution is fast. § If a package that has no tasks has logging into the database configured, the execution is fast. § Slowness has been verified with A) a package having a single Execute SQL statement and B) a package having a Send Mail task.
It doesn't seem to matter which user account is used on when running the job.
The slowness happens in several locations, e.g. (there are also others, at least the following have been verified)
There is exactly 30 seconds lag between starting the job (as seen from job history) and when PreValidate (as seen in the sysdtslog90 table) of the package appears in the log. The validation of the package takes 15 seconds (the time difference in the log betwen PreValidate and PackageStart) The problem is really affecting our production environment. Currently the only solution we have come up is to put all the jobs on a workstation and use the workstation as a production server for the jobs.
I haven't heard anyone else having the same problem.
while failover from one node to another node in cluster environment. cluster node is moving to another node but my SQL server services are not started.in event viewer i am getting bellow errorr event id 19019

I'm new to SQL server 2005. I installed SQL server 2005 and had some problems with the original install. I therefore uninstalled SQL server 2005. Rebooted and than installed SQL server 2005 again. Everything appears to have installed correctly except for the fact that when I start SQL Server Management Suite I get 2 copies running in the foreground. The last copy of the SQL Server Management Suite shows a dialogue box that contain a warning sign (yellow triangle) with no text but an OK button is in the dialogue box. When I press the OK button, this instance of SQL Server Management Suite kills itself. The first instance is now given window focus and it brings up the "Connect to Server" dialogue box. I can connect to my local server and run a script to add columns to the database. But everytime I bring up SQL Server Management Suite, I always end up with 2 copies running and I have to hit the OK button to get rid of the second copy. Can anyone help me get ride of this annoying problem?
What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.
Q1: Does Sql Server 2005 Express support Web/Internet to other SQL Server 2005 Express Clients or does it have to Synch across the internet to a fully installed setup SQL Server 2005 with IIS?
Q2: Does SQL Server 2005 Express support Direct Replication between other SQL Server 2005 Express clients?
This is my first time posting in this forum, so forgive me if my post is out of place. If so, let me know.
I am trying to get started setting up a development server on Windows 2000. These are the componants I have installed so far:
- IIS 5 - MSDE Database Server - .NET Framework 1.1 - MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Componants) - ASP.NET Web Matrix
I have also downloaded a quickstart example, TimeTracker, to learn from.
Here is my problem: When I try to install TimeTracker, it does not detect a database connection. Also, when I try to connect to a database in Web Matrix, it says I need to have client tools installed. What are these and how to I get them?
Is there anyone that can give me a hand with this? Is it a matter of running the MSDE service? If so, how do you do this?
My apologies for not being more knowledgable, but thanks for helping me get started.
I just installed SQL server 2005 with SP2 on Vista business.
When I open Management Studio, and try to Register a new server, I get this message:
Cannot connect to MyServer. Additional information: An error has occured 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 nor open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1231)
When I open SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration and click on Add New Administrator, there are no Available privileges. Not sure if this is relevant.
Don't know what to do, any help will be appreciated.
I have just installed SQL Server at home. Had a bit of experience at work, but at home I have to get started from scratch.
Enterprise manager says 'Connection could not be established'. In this error it talkes about 'registration properties'. I am (by default ?) a member of SQL Server group, but I have no sub items, like databases. And how do I get to where I can edit stored procedures ?
As you can see I'm quite a novice, but with a little nudge I can would a lot out myself. But not all. If you can help me now, I'll be back soon.
i have roughly 10-15 access databases that i am trying to run through sql server express, i installed this thing thinking it would would "just work minus a little configuration", what a misconception.
so do tell, what do i need to do. i have sql server express running, it is configured to allow remote connections. i know the path's of these access databases. how do i attach them. i saw something about the command line interface but im not interested in that because of the number of databases i will need to manage, not to mention trying to add an additional one 6 months down the road and i will be lost all over again. i thought about downloading SQL Server Management Studio thinking it would be a "gui side" to the CLI version. while it was downloading, it said i need XX program, i go to that page, it says i need XX and XX first, it is turning into a pyramid scheme to install a billion programs.
so point blank, i want to share some access databases to my local lan, i have sql server express installed and running. what do i need to finish this out. the simplest and smallest footprint solution is needed.
all this because the program im using cant do remote databases. ugh.
