Hi, On Administrator session, I have created an CUSTOMER MSDE database. That's OK.
On user session, I want to access on my database CUSTOMER but I have on error : "Unable to connect to the database". And, in French : "Echec de la connexion de l'utilisateur Machine_Name/User_Name".
What is the error ? I don't know what to do any more. How to give right to the user ? Have you an idea ?
I'm a newbie with SQL so excuse my igorance. I'm running an application that uses MSDE2000 as its source db and would like to create a small [10 field] db that would also use MSDE. I want to use a separate db though and not share the first one. What I'm looking for is suggestions on a development tool to create the database with as I'm not familiar with SQL tools. I have a lot of Access experience though so the concepts are not new.
Database requirements are pretty basic.
10 fields [8 text, 2 numeric] A button field to Add New Record A search field Column sorting.
That's it. I could do this in a pinch with Access so knowing what tool to use should make it easy. Any chance that I could do it with Access and then port it to a SQL db?
I have a application that uses a MSDE database to store information. The application seems to hit into a database corruption problem. Now I would like to view all the datas and tables created in the database. How can I do that using OSQL ?? What are the commands to view all the tables in this database ? Or is there any other better applications to do the viewing ?? Please advise. Thanx a lot !!

I'm attempting to use SQL statement to create tables within a new database, and I'm somewhat lacking in experience for this. Normally I'd simply create them through the GUI, but I want to get the hang of DDL statements.
I have written what I think are scripts to create one table with a primary key, create a unique index on it, and then create another table with a primary key and constrain two columns in the second table to the non-primary unique index in the first.

Hi All, 1st of all happy New Year to all asp.net forum members I am new at asp.net. I want to design a website using asp.net as frontend and sql database as backend. I am able to connect and add,update as well delete records when I use MsAcess and Asp.net using the following connection strings... ********** sub Page_Load dim dbconn,sql,dbcomm,dbread dbconn=New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=" & server.mappath("/database/northwind.mdb")) dbconn.Open() sql="SELECT * FROM customers where city LIKE 'Berlin' order by city ASC" dbcomm=New OleDbCommand(sql,dbconn) dbread=dbcomm.ExecuteReader() customers.DataSource=dbread customers.DataBind() dbread.Close() dbconn.Close() end sub **********
But when I try to connect to sql database using the following connection strings I am unable to do so...
************** SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("server=PLATINUMVSdotNET;database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes"); SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter(" * from Authors", myConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet(); myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors");
************** I have written the servername as "PLATINUMVSdotNET" because when I installed SQL SERVER 2000 I found a tray icon where the server name was displaying the same (my computer name is PLATINUM). When I used webmatrix I enterd the same server name and windows authentication I was able to create a database but How to create table...
I am trying to create multiple tables in a database using a SQL Script. First i want to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in the database. Then for all the tables that meet the Identity Column and primary key criteria, I want to create a New Table.
For example if the Orders table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_Orders. The ProdID_Orders will have 1 column called ProdID.
If the OrdersDetails table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_OrdersDetails. The ProdID_OrdersDetails will have 1 column called ProdID.
If the Employee table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_Employee. The ProdID_Employee will have 1 column called ProdID.
so the Create Table Statement for the ProdID_Orders will look like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProdID_Orders](
[ProdID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
The Create Table Statement for the ProdID_OrdersDetails will look like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProdID_OrdersDetails](
[ProdID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This sequence will continue for all the tables in the database that have an Identity Column as a primary key. Thanks. I will appreciate some assistance with this.

Hi there,I am trying to create a Sql Server 2005 Express database by running Sql Scripts. I have a script that has CREATE statements for tables and procedures. What I'd like it to do is create a new database with a name and a file location I specify.I searched high and low, tried lots of options with the SqlCmd tool but I keep getting authentication or other errors.Is this even possible? If so, does someone know of a good reference? I know I can create a new database and tables from within VWD but I need to create this database based on a .sql file....Thanks in advance....Imar
I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource. The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key. so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also. I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link. but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.
The error message is "Invalid Argument".
I use the following code for creating the linked table
Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)
Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table
' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property ' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties ' collection. .Name = strLinkTblName .ParentCatalog = catDB
' Set the properties to create the link. Dim adoxPro As ADOX.Property
We are using SQL Server 2014 and SSDT-BI 2013. We have a reporting environment where business users create objects which need to be persisted for fiscal year reporting. Let's say for instance SQLSERVER1SRVR1 they create table objects like below in the reporting environment.
Accounting2014, Accounting2015 in AccountingDB; Sales2014, Sales2015 in SalesDB; Products2014, Products2015 in ProductsDB; Inventory2014, Inventory2015 in InventoryDB etc....
These tables are persisted for auditing in a different environment SQLSERVER2SRVR2 for finance & audit folks.We would want to automate this process using SSIS to create tables in corresponding database and load data. I tried using For Each Loop container but the catch is I could loop the source or destination but how do we loop on Source & Destination at the same time (i.e when source is in AccountingDB destination to be AccountingDB, source SalesDB then destination SalesDB so on etc....
I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?
Hi! I'm trying to rename tables in a msde database, without succeeding. Simple question, I guess, but I can't find out how to do this. I know this doesn't work though:--- Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='GustafTest1'"Dim cn As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cn.Open() Dim queryString As String = "RENAME TABLE table1 TO table2" '"ALTER TABLE [table1] RENAME TO [table2]" dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = cndbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()---The reason to why I want to do this is that I'm updating the information of my system, and store the new data in a temporary table during update, in case something goes wrong. If the storing goes alright, the newly loaded the old table is renamed to backup_table and the temporary table is renamed from updating_table to active_table.That is a good solution, right?Thanx,Jon Engström, Sweden
Hi! I've got a very simple problem I can't find an answere to. I've got an MSDE database and I want to copy a table.

I have a MSDE database and I need to delete the contents of the exitingtables and then import new data on a scheduled basis from an ODBC datasource (preferable through a system DSN). This was easy to do in SQL2000 Enterprise given the DTS tools and then just scheduling a job thruthe agent.Is there an example of how I could do this just using scripts and MSDE(like a stored proc)? It looks like I have the agent still in MSDE touse.Help appreciated.Thanks,Frank*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Hi folks, i need ur guidance. I have a few DDL and DML scripts which i want to be automatically applied during MSDE setup; or an .MDF file be attached automatically. Please suggest an easier way!
Hello, I am a beginner using MSDE & Visual Basic.NET standard version (not Visual Studio.NET) . MSDE was downloaded from microsoft.com yesterday, which is sql2ksp3.exe.
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

I'm new to using SSIS and have been reading and learning slowly how to use it. I'm trying to create an identical copy of our database for reporting. I've used the Import/Export wizard, but have had some issues with foreign keys and with sql_variant columns.
I've tried searching for anything but haven't had any luck as of yet. I guess I don't even know where to start or what to look for.
Downloaded and installed MSDE and just finished creating a website using the Community Starter Kit. I'm used to working with Access Databases and this is my first experience with anything SQL. Can someone provide my with some guidance as to what I need to do to upload the MSDE Database to a server. Can I just upload the files like an Access Database or is this more involved. Thanks for you help.
