How To Setup SQL Auth. For SQLserver 2005 Express?
Aug 2, 2006
Hi,
I can't seem to set up SQL server authentication for SQLserver 2005 Express edition..
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..
(I need SQL auth for my project :) - it must be done with that..)
I seem to be having a strange problem with accessing the SQL Express database under the following configuration.
Install Longhorn Server Beta 2 Add WSS role, setup default site, everything seems to be working fine (using NTLM auth for the site). Content database clearly working fine to the embedded SQL Server Express. Want to switch to Forms Based Authentication with SQL Membership Provider. Follow insructions for it and discover the following issues accessing the database:
aspnet_regsql (running locally on same box) fails and says it can't connect to the database try using the surface area configuration tools to enable remote access/ protocols etc. aspnet_regsql still fails and says it can't connect to the database Install the SQL Management Studio Express - try connecting it to the databse to explore the tables etc. SQL Management Studio Express fails to connect to the database Try switching client config to connect via shared memory rather than over TCP/IP etc. Still fails to connect to database Try install a third party tool called MSSQL Maestro (does some similar things to SQL Management Express) Lo and behold - MSSQL Maestro connects to the database just fine, can explore the tables etc. No problems. Try aspnet_regsql again, try SQL management express again after doing lots of things (try restarts etc. restarts of services). No luck.
So I'm confused. WSS seems to connect to the SQL Express config database fine. MSSQL Maestro connects to the database fine and will allow me to explore it. Using the exact same host and database name (the WSS configured default) aspnet_regsql and SQL Management Studio express both fail with the exact same error.
EDIT: Some significant additional details:
- I have two databases .MICROSOFT#SSEE (which is the WSS default internal database) and .SQLEXPRESS (installed when I installed the rest of SQL Express to get the management tools etc.)
- I can connect to them both by command line with sqlcmd -S.MICROSOFT#SSEE and sqlcmd -S.SQLEXPRESS just fine. They're both running.
- I CAN connect to.SQLEXPRESS from SQL Management Express Studio, but I cannot connect to .MICROSOFT#SSEE
- A look at the error log, shows a line like the following about listening on the named pipe for SQLEXPRESS database, but I don't see a similar entry for the MICROSOFT#SSEE (even thought it's configured to do so in configuration manager...)
"Server local connection provider is ready to accept connection on [ \.pipeSQLLocalSQLEXPRESS ]."
- I've run SQL Management Express as administrator - no change
- The error I get is either error 26, or error 40 when using Shared Memory protocol
- I get the same error and error code from aspnet_regsql
Usually, we set up a SQL login for an applucation to use. On this occasion, the connection is being done through NT authentication. I am having to set up a login for each DOMAINuser.
Is there a better way of doing this maybe a logn for a group and add the users to the group?
I assumed SQL login was the preferred way as if you designed an app for thousands of users, you would have a large amount of administration if everything was done through NT ?
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I have a very small project written in VB.Net 2005 using the SQL Server 2005 SSiS DTSx package.
I migrated a SLQ 2000 DTS package using the SQL 2005 Legacy tools and saved the package as a local .DTSx package on our file server.
I need to run the package from a clients PC.
I added the reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS so I could then use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime so I can execute the commands:
Dim oApp As New Application Dim oPkg As New Package oPkg = oApp.LoadPackage(g_DTSx_Directory & "AOC copy Generic1 CSV to AOC_verify_file_1.dtsx", Nothing) Dim oResults As DTSExecResult oResults = oPkg.Execute
Ok. That works fine and is basically the entire app. It executes without a hitch in debug and as a compiled exe on my PC, but I have all the tools. So now I try and create a setup project for this and I use the setup wizard.
During the creation of the setup project I get a message that states: The following files may have dependencies that cannot be determined automatically. Please confirm that all dependencies have been added to the project. C:windowssystem32msxml6.dll
OK. The dll is part of the reference I mentioned above and I have no idea what other dependencies it may have.
How do I find this out?
Has anyone else created a project like this and experenced the same?
I am on a clean build running WinXP Pro with SP2 - VS2005 with SP1 and the SQL Server 2005 tools.
I had a few packages created with Windows Authentication which now needs to be migrated to run with SQL Server Authentication. I tried changing it in the connection managers but the packages failed to validate at the SCD transformations.For a few packages I had Configuration files for these packages where i tried to do it but it dint run giving the following Error Message: [Connection manager "Target"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user <<with my network id>>.".
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "Target". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
Hello, I would like to know if anyone here has any information on how to change the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express which ships with Visual Studio 2005 to the new SQL 2005 Express SERVICE PACK 1?
I see a file under disc:vswcuSSESQLEXPR.exe I am wondering if changing that file with the new one from Microsoft Download Center will do it...
There's another file under that folder named sqlexpr32.exe I am wondering what it's for?

I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
How can i include a express 2005 database in a setup? My program is a single user program, and i want express 2005 and the database to be installed on the users computer, when they install my program.
I am using Vb.net Visual Studio 2005, and i am using the 'Setup and deployment' template to create the setup.
I am trying to use SQL 2005 express as a datasource for a mailmerge with Word 2000.
I have created a ODBC link successfully. I have enabled all the protocols. When I open the ODBC link, all I see is a ODBC drop down. I cant see or select any database tables?
When I open the dsn I get a dialog caled Header Record Delimiters. I accept the defaults and then I get another Dialog called Mail Merge Recipients with a whole lot of connection info, but no sign of any database tables.
I tried to execute SQL Server Express Setup through InstallShield Script and it says that i required Admin Privilege. I checked and i have an Adnming privilegers.
Here is the Script. And the check says that i am an admin.
if ( Is(USER_ADMINISTRATOR, "") = TRUE) then MessageBoxEx("Admin...","Install",SEVERE); else MessageBoxEx("Non Admin...","Install",SEVERE); endif;
setuppath = "C:\Program Files\dir\Setup.exe"; sqlcmd = "ADDLOCAL=ALL"; LaunchAppAndWait(setuppath,sqlcmd,LAAW_OPTION_WAIT); if(LAAW_PARAMETERS.nLaunchResult != 0) then MessageBoxEx("Fail to install SQL Server Express...","Install",SEVERE); endif;
I have Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2005 Standart Edition.I have wanted to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to my PC to use Database applications with my Visual Studio.But there was a problem on the setup,like the below.Please help me.
"SQL Server setup failde to execute a command for server configuration.The error was[Microsoft] [SQL Native Client][SQL Server] Windows NT user or group 'HÃœSEYÄ°N- PC SQL Server2005MSSQLUser$SQLEXPRESS' not found.Ckeck the name again..Refer to the server error logs and seup logs for detailed error information."
I had Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer until the recent release. I followed the uninstall instructions in order, then installed the available 2005 Express editions. Each install showed an error when installing SQL Server 2005 Express.
I am very (almost two days) new to SQL Server Express (in fact SQL Server). In my old applications I am using VB.Net 2005 Express with MS Access database and now I wants to go for SQL Server Express.
One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)
Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server .
Ok from what I understand, sqlserver 2005 is FREE, and it is not limited by the number of concurrent connections etc etc.
So this means you can put sqlserver 2005 express on a dedicated server, and it can pretty much handle all the load you can throw right? (except if your say running myspace hehe)
I would really like to be using SQLServer Express 2005 for some desktop database applications and replace MSDE. However, I am using VS.NET 2003 and so far I have not been able to discover if that combination will work.
I have followed the link to download SP1 of SQLServer 2005 Express Edition, but, on that page nowhere it is mentioned that downloads offered are of SP1, it simply says that SQLServer 2005 Express edition.
What is the correct link and am I really on the correct page of SP1 ?
When I try to run the install it detects some previous versions components. The remove all previous beta components fails and I have removed everything from the Add/Remove Programs.
When i try to install, the filed are extracted and then i get this error message:
SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the Setup summery log file in %ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt
I open the file and this is all i get:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00 ============================== OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) Time : Mon Apr 02 15:31:10 2007
I looked in this forum at others peoples threads and it seems as if they all have a lot larger Summary.txt file. I never had any other verson of SQL Server installed on this computer and i just uninstalled .net 2.0 framework and reinstalled it.
My computer runs Windows XP Pro with SP 2, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20 GHz, 1.00GB of RAM.
Anyone have any clue why the installation wont even start?
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.
Someone please help me, Im trying to set up SQLServer on my website(IIS v4.0) and I cant seem to get any web apps that use SQL to intall correctly, I get errors like, SQL does not recieve remote connections by default, or just 'Server Not Found'.
This is what I need to know
- How to set SQL to accept incomming remote connections
- Where to find the Name of the SQL instance
- Is it a good idea to have a password on the db, and how do I add one
- A walkthrough on how to set up SQL Express 2005(what to do after the istall is complete)
As you can see Im very new to SQL. So any information you could give to help would be greatly appreciated.
I am building a Visual Web Developer site with a SQL Server 2005 Express backend. I am trying to create the login page, I have written a stored procedure that takes in the username and password and returns a value which indicates whether the user is valid or not. My problem now is integrating this stored procedure into the page. In Visual Studio 2003 you could just drag and drop the stored procedure from the Database Explorer window and it would create the neccessary SQLCommand which you can then pass parameters too and recieve return values, i.e:
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@username" ].value = TextUsername.Text; sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@password" ].value = TextPassword.Text; sqlConnection1.Open(); sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery(); Int Result = (int)sqlcommand.Parameters["@returnvalue"].value; sqlConnection1.Close();
I see in VWD there are SqlDataSource's etc, is this what I need to use to do what I'm looking for and how do they exactly work? Ideally what I'm looking for is when a user clicks login, the contents of the 'username' and 'password' text boxes are queried against the database. What controls and configuration is required to achieve this?
I’m working with an Sqlserver 2005 Express database on my local machine, and using vs.net 2005.I need to enable the sqlserver cache by the way: aspnet_regsql -E -d Northwind -ed I encountered the remote connection problem(error:40).The northwind database was restored to the sqlserver 2005 express by the db file downloaded,and I added the ASPNET user.I also enabled the TCP/IP by using SQL Server Configuration Manager. But all the web application connected to the Northwind database is working through the connection string: "Data Source=WKS-DEV-04SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True" Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
Hello,I'm looking for a tutorial or some sample code to save a file in sql server with c#. So far I have not been able to find a anything I could use as most tutorials are in VB. I'm using the varbinary max type to store the file. The part I need help with is selecting the file and converting it using the Stream object, not the SQL insert statements. Thanks,Arnold
