Hi,
I was sent a .bak file which I need to open and place in sql server express.
I googled this but did not come up with any clear instructions.
Can some please give me a good link that explains this.
Thanks
Hi Guys, how many connections does sql 2005 express allow to .mdf file. I stumpled on info on a microsoft site (actually a forum post on msdn) that sql server express allows only a single connection to an .mdf file.
Iam intrested in this because i developed reporting services reports in BIS and iam having problems. If i run a report from report manager, i have to wait for close to 20 minutes before i can be able to run my asp.net application agian. Else if i insert data or retrieve data from my asp.net application, then i have to wait again for 20 minutes or more before i can be able to run my reports else i will get an error that a connection can not be made to the database or that the database is being used by another process.
So in all cases, i have to wait for 20--30 minutes before a connection can be made to the .mdf file. i.e after running a report or after inserting or retrieving data from the database through my asp.net application.
Iam using sql sever 2005 express with advanced services and visual web developer on windows server 2003.
Any ideas or help.
Hello:
Can SQL Server Express open/read a .db database file that is Sybase?
Well, I'm to the point of giving up. If there was a 1-800 # that charged $400 /minute for support at this point I would pay it! I have been developing an ASP.net 2.0 web application that basically has login security. I have been struggling to get this thing to work. On my local machine it works fine, but when I copy the code (including the ASPNETDB.mdf that is in the APP_Data directory) over to a web server, I get to the login screen but when I attempt to login I get an error. I've tried using the SSEUTIL.exe and was unsuccessful. At this point I don't even know where to start. Can someone please help me??? The error is listed below:

Hi all.I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as a database.I put below code to connect to my database at my Page_Load event. Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim conn As sqlConnection
conn = New SqlConnection("server=SEN-M092082D001SQLEXPRESS;database=test;Trusted_Connection=Yes")
conn.open()
lblItem.Text = "Connection Opened!"
End SubAnd, I got an error when running this code. Error is:Cannot open database "test" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'SEN-M092082D001ASPNET' Which the error points to Conn.Open. Why this happen? Do I need to configure something at the SQL Server ?
Hello,
I have a SQL Express database in a C# project, which I use for unit tests. However, I am getting the "unable to open SQL Express database", access is denied. I used to be able to do use it fine.
I also used to attach it to the SQL Server engine, but now I'm getting access denied there as well. I ensured that it isn't currently attached... at least, I cannot see it, but maybe its still attached somehow?
I don't know what the problem is... running out of ideas.
Thanks.
I can't seem to open my SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP anymore. I need help figuring this out. I was able to open it before.
I went to the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and tried to "repair" the program but nothing changes. Anytime I double-click on ssmsee.exe, the hour-glass flashes, but the program never starts. Any ideas why?
The last thing I loaded was the AdventureWorksBI.msi. I already downloaded and installed AdventureWorksDB.msi.
I have Windows 2000 Pro, I have SQL Server 2005 Express loaded, among other 2005 Express programs. No other problems.
Any clues?
I am sure that whatever the correct is to newbievsprogrammer's post at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=295166&SiteID=1 will also relate to mine as I can't seem to connect to any database either.
Hello all.
I have uploaded a table into sql management studio express. However, when I right click on the table and try and open it, I get an error message saying;
"SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL statement: select columnName1, columnName2 etc....
Error source: Microsoft. VisualStudio.DataTools
Error Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"
Because of this error, I cannot manually edit the table. However, when I write a query running select * from Table X, the table does appear that way.
Any help regarding how to open the table would be very much appreciated!!

Hi all
Which tool can I use for structure editing of SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases? I'm installed SQL Server Compact 3.5. I have SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed with SQL Server 2005 Express. Unfortunately this SSMS can create and open only 3.1 databases.
I just spent the better par of 3 days creating a prototype in ASP.Net 2.0 and SQL Server Express only to discover that nobody from outside can see it...
ERROR with impersonation=true

The following problem is in Access 2003 as front end and SQL Server Express holding the data.
I have about 50 tables in Access linked to the SSE.
When I try to open and work with the linked tables using the following code, some of the table works fine and other give error 3622.
********************************************
Dim Tab1 As Recordset, DB1 As Database, SQL1 As String
Set DB1 = CurrentDb
SQL1 = "SELECT * FROM Any_Table"
Set Tab1 = DB1.OpenRecordset(SQL1, DB_OPEN_DYNASET)
do the required work with Any_Table
Tab1.Close: Set DB1 = Nothing
********************************************
I can not figure out why some table open fine and some give error.
If I use ADO all tables will open without problem but it works much slower then the code above.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm developing a windows forms app with a local database to be deployed on a couple of users machines. To aid deployment I'm using 'user instance' with a connection string of:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|gma.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connection Timeout=15;
I've started with a backup function based on the blog 'Backup and Restore with User Instance' linked to from this forum. Problem is I always get the error message 'Cannot open user default database. Login failed for user xxx'. This happens when I run in debugger or just run the exe directly.
Any help appreciated.

I have a database which was automatically created in VWD (final release
version). I want to design this database using the Management
Studio software. How can I access the database from this
tool? I am able to connect to the sql server running on my
machine however the database created for the website is not listed
there.
When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Hi all,
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Regards,
Shuja.
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.
As I said in the subject I've a problem trying to restore a backup of a previous db created in sql 2000 server

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.
