I want to include Sql Express in my own application. I have looked at the MSDN article about this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/EmSQLExCustApp.asp) - great article BTW. But one thing is missing, namely, how to programmatically detect if Sql Express was installed successfully or not?
View 5 Replies I've been successful at installing a customized SQLexpress using setup.exe /settings template.ini.
What I'd like to do now is see if I can progammatically detect a Firewall on the SQLexpress machine and if there is one to add the exceptions for sqlservr and sqlbrowser programmatically so that the user doesn't have to do anything.
Is this possible and how would I do it?
Thanks,
jerry
SSIS Experts,
I am executing a child package programmatically and want few lines of code to detect cause of the failure on the fly. One way will be to run the child package through dtexec command uility. But on the fly i will be assigning few values in Parent package variable to the child variables and finally run the child package. Since we cannot apply expressions or use precendence constraints in place, It seems that we are left with only choice to programmatically detect errors in tasks. In DTS, it was achieved this way:
Code Snippet
For Each ostep In oPkg
If ostep.ExecutionResult = DTSStepExecResult_Failure Then
ProcessSubDTSPackage = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
End If
Next
Thanks

Hi,
I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.
I am trying to SELECT three information fields from a table when the Page_Load take place (so I select the info on the fly). The refering page, sends the spesific record id as "Articleid", that looks typically like this: "http://localhost:1424/BelaBela/accom_Contents.aspx?Articleid=2". I need to extract the "Article=2" so that I can access record 2 (in this example).
How do I define the SelectParameters or QueryStingField on the fly so that I can define the WHERE part of my query (see code below). If I remove the WHERE portion, then it works, but it seem to return the very last record in the database, and if I include it, then I get an error "Must declare the scalar variable @resortid". How do I programatically set it up so that @resortid contains the value that is associated with "Articleid"?
My code is below.
Thank you for your advise!

Hi,
I have created an application that loads a package and executes it using DTS runtime classes. But when I run the application on a machine where only SQL Express edition is installed it's throwing
"Retreiving COM class factory for component with CLSID E44847F1-FD8C-4251-B5DA-B04BB22E236E failed due to the following error : 80040154"
Can someone help?
I will be teaching a web scripting course, and I would like to switch from using MS Access to MS SQL as a database. Please forgive my ignorance, as have much to learn about SQL Express. We have installed SQL Express on a web server (windows box).
Question1:
is SQL like MS Access, in that the SQL Express software should be installed locally on the users machine. The user will create databases and tables locally, then upload the resulting database(s) to the appropriate folder on the web server along with web scripting files?
-------- OR ---------
is MS SQL like MySQL, where the db is installed on the remote server, and user accounts are created within the database with appropriate priv.'s. The user logs in to the db application remotely to create tables within a given database.
When I install SQL Express I get a setup failure for the following:
MSXML6-Setup Failed
SQLServer Database Services-Setup Failed
I had SQL Express installed before and I remember having a little trouble uninstalling it at the time. My machine is a Dell Inspiron with 2GB RAM and a 60GB hard drive with 50GB available.

Any help would be appreciated.
The just released SP1 version of SQL Server Express has a file name of sqlexpr.exe. The previous setup file was named sqlexpr32.exe. Why would Microsoft change the file name?
Anyway, the file name change obviously breaks the file name that is coded in the bootstrapper package.xml file. Also, the link address will need to change (I suppose Microsoft couldn't just put a new version at the same link with the same file name so that everything would just keep working?)
Is there a revised package.xml file we can use? If not, do we use the same publickey?
Are the necessary changes documented anywhere?
Thanks

I downloaded Visual Studio Express CD Image named "vcs.iso". I did not do the installation because I'm not the admin.
Does it comes with SQL Express and the SQL Server Management Studio Express?
Another question is, Is it possible to move the database (with the data as well) from SQL Express to SQL Server?
I have a pc for developing application using all the express edition and There is a Server with SQL Server edition.
Its 2 different pc so will there be a problem?
Thanks,

Hi, I just installed the Express version locally and then tried to simply connect to the
Northwind database from a .aspx web page. I get the following:
Error reading the database. 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.

Im a beginner in ASP.NET and SQL. Please tell me how to run and paste a few tags on "SQLCMD T-SQL execution command line utility" (90ToolsBinn). Its SQL Express 2005. I cant paste a tag of an ASP.NET beginners site http://www.asp.net/GuidedTour/default.aspx). I cant set up a data base without doing it.
When attempting to run this installer (SQLCMD T-SQL execution command line utility), I get the DOS screen but not the 1> command prompt. If I leave the screen alone, the DOD command window closes after about 5 seconds.
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsinnSQLCMD" -S "machine-nameSqlExpress"
If I retry the prompt, same thing happens. Attempts to Paste the script are unsuccessful, and the DOS command screen closes on it's own.

I have a Windows Mobile aplication that uses merge replication to synchronize between sql compact and full sql Enterprise edition and It works great. Instantiating the SqlCeReplication object setting it's properties and calling Synchronize on it is pretty simple assuming everything is setup properly at the publisher.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this on the desktop (Programatically setup a subscription and create a database using objects in the System.Replication Namespace and hopefully call Synchronize on it).
Someone please point me in the right direction.

I simply can't find the settings for that. I have Management Studio Express installed and I can see the SA user but I can't login using that user.. I know that there's supposed to be a setting for turning on SQL auth. but it's not like it used to be in Enterprise manager :) so I can't find it.. ;/ I couldn't find any documentation on how to do this so I thought I'll try here..

Hi,
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks,

So after getting no resolution to my previous problems installing SQL Express SP2 after having applied SP2 to the Developer SKU and needing Express for demo purposes (at a conference amusingly held at an MS regional office) I decided to start again.
After some struggles I uninstalled SQL Server (it crashed during uninstall, and I had to manually remove all the registry entries and clean up the directories).
Sql Express SP2 installed fine, but now developer edition refuses to install; more specifically the Management Tools and documentation portion. Absolutely stunning.
I found one problem in that the install would not proceed (installing the engine) because a more recent version of SQLXML was installed, which I got past by uninstalling the SQLXML installation Express had put onto the machine.
However now I am stuck without any management tools whatsoever (although books on-line installed).
Is it so hard to install two Microsoft products side by side? I am tearing my hair out here and utterly sick of this, especially as last time I tried to log a support call with the Express issue MS support refused to take it (despite having incident calls to burn)

The problem seems to be in setting up the workbench. Could this be because I already have Visual Studio SP1 installed?
I install SQL Express from my application with Process.Start().
But the installation tells me that i have to close my application.
"The following application should be closed before continuing...."
Why ? What is checked by setup?
