I have been requested to create an application for a client that will use a database of my choice. I have considered using sql compact 3.5 but i feel it might be best to go ahead and start with express until the client wants to upgrade to workgroup or higher. So the problem i have is that the connection always takes 12 to 25 seconds to connect on every first connection. I guess this is because it creates an instance of the server each time. So my question: is there a way to have it ready all the time besides leaving the application open? I have it attached through management studio express on my server computer. And i need to be able to support several users reading and modifying records.
I am new to this type of programming and and have read all articles on adding an image to the database and it seems they all use sql queries to add an image but I want to add an image at design time. I am using Visual Basic 2005. I am also using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition to try the same thing. I am trying to build a Translator program for english to Brazilian Portuguese and the reason I want to add the images is so that when I translate the word cat from english to Portuguese, I can also show an image of a cat. Can anyone please help me
All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?
I have SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed in a Microsoft Windows XP Pro PC that is a terminal PC in our office Network. My Network Administrator has granted my terminal PC for Administrator Use. I tried to do the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my terminal PC and I could not get a remote connection in the Window Form Application via Window Authorization. I do not know how to make this kind of remote connection in my Network. Please help and advise.
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?

I'm having a strange situation in my SQL SErver 2000 SP3a with 4 Processors, 4GB of RAM and high-end disk sub-system. I migrate a specific database from another instance with SQL SErver 2000 SP3a too to this new server with more hardware resource than another one. The application that access this DataBase stablish a connection with SQL SErver using TCP/IP, everything works fine. So, if I let the connection "sleeping", or better, if I let the connection idle for amount of time, I need to stablish the connection to ther SQL SErver again. I hadn't the same situation in the old instance as I having. I think that it's happening because the other instance was dedicated to this application and that new Instance don't. In this new Instance I have many other connections simultaneously, about 200 processes.
Anybody knows what's going on? Are there any settings to change this time-out configuration just for a specific connections?
I am new to VB.Net coming from a VB6 background using the VB.Net Express and have even loaded the SQL Express. The learning curve is not to bad until you get to dealing with connecting to db's. However, in trying to fill a grid with data, manipulate it and then update it has not been any fun either. There does not seem to be enough information out there dealing with these two as of right now.
Anyway, trying to add a datasource connection for a grid has resulted in a real problem even using the connection wizard. I keep getting the same error that the default settings for SQL express does not allow remote connections. However, I thought that I have corrected that. Unfortunately, with VB express I cannot even seem to talk to my SQL 2000 server either because it gives me the same exact error. I am thoroughly frustrated with it and ready to just do it in VB6.
I am open to any thoughts on this. I do not like using bound controls, except in a few situations. I would like to create it unbound if at all possible. If someone could give me some ideas as to what to do and where to go with this I would appreciate the help. I have been doing a lot of reading and a descent understanding what is needed to talk to a SQL db.
I am sure I am using the same connection string for all connection.open, and closing all connections as soon as possible… but
When I try to debug my web app with vs, it runs for some time then I get:
The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached exception
However, if I just access the application normally form the url (not using vs.net) it runs flawlessly.
Has some one had the same problem? i can't debug help!!
Hi, I have Mirroring setup for 3 databases without a witness. The database mirroring monitor shows me that both Principal and Mirror are "Synchronized". SSMS also shows that the both instances are "Synchronized".
However, the following error message appears couple of times in the event viewer: The mirroring connection to "TCP://abc.xyz.com:5022" has timed out for database "DB" after 10 seconds without a response. Check the service and network connections.
Also came across this article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947462
My application having connection string which having Server Name --Erlier it is working fine. Now IP got chaged Server name is same but now Iam unable to connect server.
When I login using QA to my SQL Server database, it takes 15-20 secondsto establish a connection and open a query window. Drilling into adatabase via Enterprise Manager is similar. Once the connection isestablished, the server runs plenty fast however.Can someone tell me why it could take a long time for a connection tobe established?This behavior occurs when I am local on the box.Thanks,John
When I enable MultipleActiveResultSets in the "context connection" (SqlConnection), I get an error:
System.InvalidOperationException: The only additional connection string keyword that may be used when requesting the context connection is the Type System Version keyword.
Can we have MARS in the "context connection"?
note: I'm doing this to support multiple open datareaders in a CLR stored procedure.
I am using MS JDBC driver 2005 1.2 and in-house written connection pooling that was working fine for a number of years. This combination worked OK with SQLserver 2000. But recently we switched to SQLServer 2005 (x64) on WIN Server 2003 Standard x64 eddition. Everything seems work OK during business hours, however, after business hours when there are lesser users and connection stays idle for sometime, I am getting the following error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The connection is closed. at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDriverError(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.checkClosed(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.setAutoCommit(Unknown Source) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.freeConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:420) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.releaseConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:707) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.releaseConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:688) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.finalize(OnlineTransactionManager.java:399) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.invokeFinalizeMethod(Native Method) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.runFinalizer(Finalizer.java:83) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.access$100(Finalizer.java:14)
everytime i used to open the package has a sql server configuration file saved and also has loggin enabled, with password for sensitive data storage given, it shows some errors and all the time the errors are with the created connection.
yes, i have given the right password at the time of opening it.
Is there a way to dynamically create a connection manager @ run time? I would like to do this from a data set of connection strings so I can link them into a union all component.
I'm trying to use SSIS in MSSQL 2012 to extract data from MAS90 database.The connection string is tested to be working, because I can extract successfully using the same one in Excel.I follow the wizard of import data in management studio, but after selecting the tables and mapping all those things, when clicking finish, the management studio always freezes.
I have C# application which will create normally 200 pool connection with SQL server. Previously i was using the SQL Server 2000.I don't have any issue. Recently i have upgraded the Database to SQL Server 2005 with SP1. After that problem Started. I was getting the Timoout problem and due to this my application getting crahsed.
To give about the Detail about my SQL sever 2005 Database: i have six merge Subscribers and three Transactional Publishers. I don know that "is the Replication giving all the time Out issue for my C# application?".
so by default i beleive it is 30 seconds as the Time Out. I don know why within this period there is no response from SQL server 2005. My application Server and Database Server are in the Same network with 100Mbps.
What is the wrong here ? Is it SQL server 2005 with the Replication gives the problem to me ?
Can anyone help me. I assumed that SQL server 2005 will work without issues and we have implemented in prod. now in prod i am getting this Error.
Is there a property setting in SqlEX. That automatically inserts the date and time in to a field (timestamp) in the dB, when a record is created. If so can someone please show me how this is done.
If my application updates a SQL Express database at the same time as my service is performing synchronisation of the same database via RMO, intermittently some of the rows updated will not be included the next time synchronisation is performed.
Does anyone know what's happening and what I can do about it?
I installed SQL server 2005 express edition on my windows server and I had no problem with connecting it remotely through Management Studio, then I removed it and installed a full edition SQL server 2005. That's when it's gone all wrong.
Now I can't remotely connect the server through Management Studio. The error I get is the same as some of the people in this forum has which is:
"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)"
The problem is that I have all protocols enabled and even when I disable firewall and unassign all the ip filters still no go.
I looked at te machine.config file at my server and the connection string bit goes like this:
I have a simple package, which reads a flat file source, does some transformation, and outputs to a flat file destination. The package runs as a SQL Agent job, so I have the flat file source and OLEDB connection ticked and configured on the data sources tab.
What I would like to do is get hold of the flat file source connection string property from inside the package at run time, and use it to set the flat file destination connection string using property expressions.
The easy option is to set the destination in the agent job, but I'd like to add a date/time stamp to the destination filename.
I am trying to import data from flat file to sql server 2005 DB table using SSIS. There are 4 different text files in the input folder. I am using for loop to iterate reading and importing 4 times. In order to do this I have set "Connection String" property of a connection manager to a package level variable using expression. There is a script which supplies the source file name and assigns to this variable.
The package works fine. The data gets imported successfully into the destination table. However, when I close the package, reopen it and then run, the Data Flow task fails with the error "Can not open the source file". If I enter a valid file name in the Flat File Source task and run the package it works again. As soon as I close the file/package, reopen and then run, the data flow task fails with the same error.
How do I make this working. I am planning to schedule a job which will execute the package programatically. In that case no user intevention is possible.
I would appreciate your help on this. I can provide further details if required.
If I have 6-8 queries running in parallel, Whether having a Single connection Manager (for the same source) for all the Extract performs faster or having Distinct Connection Manager for each of the extract performs faster ?
