How Do I Access MSDE?
Apr 23, 2004Hi,
I don't have Visual Studio, so I'm using web matrix and MSDE. My question is, how do I get to MSDE? I don't have the enterprise manager that comes with SQL Server. Thanks

I need to make a website with lots of datatables, ans connections bettween them.
who's better? MSDE or access? WHY? WHYNOT?
...thanks
HiI am just starting my first .NET project using the web matrix and an MSDE database. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge - all very interesting. I have some data in an Access spreadsheet (6 columns and 365 rows) which in the past I have copied and pasted into an Access database table. How do I get it into a MSDE database table? This process does not need to be automated/programmed as I will only have to do it once a year. Any ideas on the easiest way forward would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Mike

Hi,
I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.

hi,
I have a database in MSDE. Now if I create a database in Access, is it possible to import the msde tables into Access. probably not right?
Thanks
Does anyone know if it is possible to replicate a database from MSDE to Access 2002??

I have MSDE installed on my machine to support off-line use of a web application.
The database (MDF) file in question is stored on an encrypted area of my hard drive, which must be unlocked each time the machine starts up by the user entering a password.
Unfortunately, by this time the SQL Server service has already started, and although it still lists the database along with master, etc, it cannot access it. I believe the error mentions that some files are unavailable.
Stopping and restarting SQL Server using Service Manager fixes this problem. However, this can only be done when logged in as Administrator. I need to find a solution for normal users without Admin privileges.
Is there any other way of making the now-unlocked MDF file available to SQL Server? I thought about using SQLDMO to Refresh databases, but no joy.
This is a real show stopper for my application, which I've spent three years developing! It goes without saying that I'm writing this message with a long face. If anybody has any suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you!
Best wishes

Hi everyone,In using the SQL Server Database Wizard in Access 2000 to create a newaccess project, I get two consecutive error messages and then the wizardshuts down. The first, which apprears immediately after starting the wizardis a message box stating something like "the property value is too large".After clicking through and filling out the values in the connection anddatabase dialog, I get a second dialog box with the message "Overflow" andthe wizard terminates.My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional with Access 2000 and MSDE2000.Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be causing these errors?Thanks in advance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that SQL Server cost plenty to license for internet use...per year. But is there the same costs for MSDE and/or Access? I was recently told that every internet user would have to have a license to use a site that had Access as the database. I'm really not sure how true that is or if its MS support fobbing me off. Anyone know?

I need to choose a database based on the following criteria (using .NET app):
1) a light but fully functional database, preferably with the support of store proc and constraints, less than 8000 transaction a day.
2) portable or the database can be export/import very easily
3) reliable and stable
4) least maintenance
I have two db in my mind, Access and MSDE?
Does anyone have some hand-ons experience on the above two? Or any other better suggestions?
Any advice is appreciated.
thanks,

I have an mircosoft access database, but now i want to attach it to MSDE, how can i do impliment this????
i already try to use the following commands
exec sp_attach_db 'example','c:example.mdb'
but i got the following error message
The header of this file 'c:example.mdb' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.
I have a named instance of MSDE running on my windows 2k3 web server. I can connect just fine using ODBC to that DB whailst I am on the server.
I would like to be able to create an ODBC connection from my local machine (running Windows XP pro) to the MSDE database on my server but I can't get it going.
I have heard that I need to edit the registry but a Google search warns that this could be a vulnerability...
How do I do it without compromising the security of my web server?
TIA
I have a large VB 6.0 application running with Jet 4.0 Access DB. I am considering moving the DB to MSDE. For testing, I installed MSDE on another computer in a peer to peer network running XP sp1, loaded up the DB from Access to MSDE2000A -- all without problem. (I should add the obvious fact I am new to using SQL server.)
What I find is that with a relatively small test DB, running just a single instance of the application, query response from MSDE is taking several seconds (4-5 second lag) longer than response from the Access DB, which runs extremely fast. This is with the Access DB installed on the same network drive, running the same application and the same queries syntax -- only changing configuration of connection for each (SQL vs Jet 4).
Any clues as to what may be going on? The lag time is unacceptable. I am using SQL password instead of NT security. It seems the process is perhaps lagging in the process of authorization.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas on this.
Yes I have the dreaded "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." error
when trying to connect to an MSDE database. I've tried many solutions
found across the net. I installed the latest sp3a version of MSDE,
granted the ASPNET worker process access to my database, opened port
1433 in the Windows XP firewall. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
The funny thing is that I can successfully connect using an ODBC DSN connection (OdbcConnection). No problems at all.
This works.
<code>
Dim strDSNString As String = "DSN=mike"
Dim objConn As New OdbcConnection(strDSNString)
Dim objCmd As New OdbcCommand("select * from table1", objConn)
Dim objReader As OdbcDataReader
Try
objConn.Open()
objReader = objCmd.ExecuteReader
While objReader.Read
Response.Write(objReader("column1"))
End While
objConn.Close()
Catch
Response.Write("fail")
End Try
</code>
But no luck when I try an SqlConnection.
This does not work.
<code>
db_connection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))
db_connection.Open()
</code>
The connectionString = Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial
Catalog=miketest;Data Source=localhost;Network
Library=dbmssocn;Trusted_Connection=True;
So, why does the OdbcConnection work but the SqlConnection does not??
Thank you.
Hi. I'm coming from a background of developing mdbs and am trying to migrateour databases to adps running atop MSDE 2000. However, I've encountered aproblem while trying to do analogous things to what I've done before withmdbs...for example:-Linking to a csv file on another machine: I am able to establish a linkuning the 'Link Table Wizard' that shows up as a new view. However, uponopenning the view I see only a single column (left-most).What am I missing here?James

I'm getting this error message when I try to connect my MSDE database from other machine using enterprise manager application. Both of the machines are WinXP SP2. I found some solution such as using 'SQLServer Network Utility' but didn't work out for me. I even can not connect my database on my computer using TCP/IP. When I connect with name, it worked fine. I already enable both TCP/IP and Named pipe protocol on the MSDE machine.
If someone has solution on that please let me know.
Thanks,

I am running the MSDE 2000 Setup off the SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition CD.
After installation is complete, there is a service under the Control Panel -> Services window
called MSSQL$GregInstance. I then start that service.
But now when I try to connect to the database using
osql -E -S GregInstance
I get told that the SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Even though the server is running. I have also tried
osql -E -S localhost
but no luck. Why can it not find the instance of SQL Server?
Note : SQL Server 2000 is not installed on the machine, only this MSDE instance.
Thanks
Greg
We just installed an application, WhatsUpGold, to monitor our servers. Management won't let me host that on my primary SQL box. So, we are using MSDE on the local machine (call that box my_netmon).
I can access the db with very basic functionality using osql while on the my_netmon machine. I've added my domain user account as a System Admin using the following commands.
exec sp_grantlogin @name
go
exec sp_addsrvrolemember @name, 'sysadmin'
But when I go to the my_sql machine and try to attach to it with Enterprise Manager I get an error that the server does not exist.
What gives??? Is it just not possible, or am I missing something here?
My goal is to just be able to see the data stored in the MSDE db. Write views, etc...
Please advise,
Marc
I want to view the sample databases within Access 2003. When I try to view them an error message appears saying I need MSDE 2000 but this will not run on Windows Vista which is my operating system. What do I need to view the sample database as well as develop applications within Access using SQL server?

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the
same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that
the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed
from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
regards,
Manfred
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I've got a popular problem so i get a message that server acces denied! ..
But that what is different in my error.... When i use same setting same database and connection string (on MSDE server) there is no problem...
On SQL server i have got windwos authentication but i added all accounts as ASPNET and SA.... and when i try to connect by
RETTO - name of my server
server=RETTO;uid=sa;pwd=password;database=db1;
or by
Integrated Security=SSPIserver=RETTO;uid=RETTOASPNET;database=db1;
I CAN BROWSE RECORDS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH CONNECTION!!! but when i try to update or iinsert or delete something in database there becomame this error that access denied or server does not exist!!!
PLEASE HELP I'm FIGHTING WITH THAT FOR OVER 5 DAYS!!!
I MADE FOR MY ACCOUNTS (SA, ASPNET) ALL THINGS ALLOWED AS EXECUTING stored procedures.. OR ACCESING datatables with insert delete and update query WHERE IS THE PROBLEM!!!??
Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.Â
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
We need to insert data/rows from a SQL Server 2014 database into MS Access database. The problem is, there are so many columns (100+) in the table and there are so many insert transactions of this kind (from different tables) that it is not very easy to write the code in VB.NET that lists all column names.
Both the Access and SQL Server tables have the same number of columns and the equivalent data types, so inserting is not really the problem. It's just that is there a way to do an insert statement in T-SQL that does not name all the columns?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I've been developing desktop client-server and web apps and have used Access and SQL Server Standard most of the time.
I'm looking into using SQL CE, and had a few questions that I can't seem to get a clear picture on:
- The documentation for CE says that it supports 256 simultaneous connections and offers the Isolation levels, Transactions, Locking, etc with a 4GB DB. But most people say that CE is strictly a single-user DB and should not be used as a DB Server.
Could CE be extended for use as a multi-user DB Server by creating a custom server such as a .NET Remoting Server hosted through a Windows Service (or any other custom host) on a machine whereby the CE DB would run in-process with this server on the machine which would then be accessed by multiple users from multiple machines??
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
- and further more can we use Enterprise Services (Serviced Components) to connect to SQL CE and further extend this model to offer a pure high-quality DB Server?
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> Enterprise Services -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
Seems quite doable to me, but I may be wrong..please let me know either ways
Thanks,
CP
