Using EM, one can click on the server (left pane) and then select propertities from the dropdown.
From the popup you can click on the Database Settings tab.
There is a frame within the Database Settings tab which allows you to enter the default location for a new database. In the same frame you can specify a location for the new database's log file.
My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website. 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. According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"... The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,I have SQL Server Express Edition. I tried working out some ASP.NET Labs in my local system. Here is the link of the Virtual Lab which I tried. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032286906&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=USI recieve this error in my local system. 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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)I tried working out solutions from various websites. But the no solution is effective. Could anyone help me in solving this issue.
I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including:
1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005 2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication 3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB 4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent 5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site 6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still

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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) I have already gone to Surface Area Configuration to ensure that Remoting with both Named Pipes or TCP/IP is enabled and it's set to both for remoting.I verified that my local account has access to the DB.Not sure what else to check.
We have replication set up. Publisher and distributor are on the same server, subscriber is in different server.
Suddenly the replication started failing and continued more than 12 hrs. When I tried to connect to the subscriber server, I am able to connect to the server but not able to run any queries or not able to open the error log from SSMS.
Is there any way to find from the default trace why the replication failed and the server is not responded?
Hi, Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem: Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok. However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on my machine a couple months ago, and now I can't remember how to log in. I don't remember setting up any log in accounts, and whatever I might have set I apparently didn't write down. Are there default user names and passwords that I could use to get in? I'm a SQL Server newbie.
I am unable to access the default port 1433 on my SQL 2003 server. There is no firewall. I run telnet <ip> <port> and get "Connection failed" which explains my inability to connect to the server for weeks. I have being unable to connect to the server after I uninstalled sql 2000 and reinstalled it on my 2003 server. Some of the things I have checked is Network Configuration in EM. Named Pipes and TCP/IP is installed with port set to 1433. HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerClientSuperSocketNetLibTcpDefaultPort port is set to 1433. Is there anything I need to configure on the server side to have the default sql server port enabled.
When created database in Microsoft SQL Server, many no. of default objects will be created.when executed the command "sp_tables", so many no.of system tables will appear in addition to our own created tables. How to Hide them?
Hi Dear All DBAs Does anyone know whether you can specify date format(EG dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy) for SQL server when you install it?
It seems to me that it always assume US date format when converting a date string to a datatime variable.
You can easily try this by running query Select convert(smalldatetime, "30/5/2000"). It would say "...out of range..." until you use "5/30/2000". It does not seem to relate to NT regional setting(I already set it to our local setting dd/mm/yyyy).
You can use "set dateformat" in the application to get around it. But I would like to change the default format to dd/mm/yyyy. Any solution? (EG reinstall SQL server?)
I have this problem. I want to add a new primary key to a table but i want the name of the contstraint to be generated by the system. I have this TSQL code.
ALTER TABLE TableTest ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (C1)
Reading the BOL, it says that if you don't supply a name for the constraint it generates one. But I get this error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PRIMARY'".
If I add a name to the constraint, it works fine. I'm using SQL Server 2000
Is there a way to change the default data type in SQL Server? If I import a database into SQL Server it makes every non-numeric field a nvarchar field. Is there a way to change this so that these fields would be varchar or char by default? I cannot find any way to redo these as a batch/group update and have to modify every single field manually. Any insights greatly appreciated.
What the difference is, if any between the following two ways of creating a table with a column that has a default value (see the 'Deleted' column):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ( [ID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, [DELETED] BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0)And
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ( [ID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, [DELETED] BIT CONSTRAINT [DF_Customer_Deleted] DEFAULT((0)) NOT NULL)
And is there any argument for doing one over the other?
Currently I have a server that has two instances of SQL Server that areboth heavily used. We are moving the databases that are on the defaultinstance of this server to a new server. Since the old server willonly need one instance (the current named instance) of SQL Server isthere a good way to remove the default instance and make the namedinstance the default? If this change is possible will the name of thecurrent named instance need to be changed? Will all of the programscurrently accessing the named instance need to change their connectionstring?
I would like to know how to change the default data directory in SQL Server Express. I have a partitioned hard disk with SQL Installed on the C: drive. I would like to move the data to d: drive. I have just installed SQL and do not have any databases. I have installed SQL with advanced services.
Can I Install a default instance on Virtual SQL Server on a 2 node Cluster. If I already have a default instance on a different Virtual SQL Server on the same clustered Server.
What i am trying to do..
if i create 2 virtual sql Server (say sqlVi1 and sqlVi2).. i want o connect using sqlVi1 and sqlVi2..not Sqlvi1 and SQlvi2Namedinstance.
If yes..How can I do it?
Thanks in advance I Hope someone from Microsoft or MVPs will help me.
if this is not the corrcet forum...please point me the correct one
Hi : I am in the process of testing server name on which sqlserver is running.In this process i could sucessfully rename the server and bring the database online.I have renamed the server name in the system tables by using sp_dropserver and addserver .But still in the security logins i can see the agent logins not reflecting the change . Oldservername SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$oldservername$MSSQLSERVER.How can i modify these names. thanks Ganesh
Ive just installed VS2005 Pro and SQL Server Developer edition.
Now I want to set the default paths for project, templates, settings. But I want for both VS and SQL files.
For example, right now the default folders for SQL Studio are:
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioSettings
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioTemplates
.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioBackup Files
... and so on.
For VS Studio:
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projects
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Templates
.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Code Snippets
... and so on.
I would like for all sub-folders(from SQL Server and VS) to be in one same folder(Development), for example:
.My DocumentsDevelopmentProjects
.My DocumentsDevelopmentSettings
.My DocumentsDevelopmentTemplates
.My DocumentsDevelopmentBackup Files
.My DocumentsDevelopmentCode Snippets
... and so on.
I have tried changing in each application´s options the default path for each one, pointing to each folder I listed above.
My problem is that both VS and SQL Server still keeps creating folders in the old locations, for example: ".My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects". This example happens when I create a new query, and try to save it, it automatically creates that folder.
It only works for a few of them, like the settings folder. Ive managed to create a single folder for SQL and VS setting files.
Is there a way I can join both Application folders? I want to keep both projects files in one folder, both setting files in one folder, and so on...
I hope this is the correct forum. I have SQL Server 2000 installed on a server located in the USA. The local time zone on the server is EST. Therefore getdate() returns EST time. I now realise that I'd like to be saving all my timestamps in UTC. While I could modify all my stored procedures to use getutcdate() rather than getdate() I wonder if there is a database level setting for time zone that will cause getdate() to return UTC date?
In SQL Server 2000, the default database, when changed (for example, from master to db1 for user sa) would be the database that would be active when you opened a Query Analyzer query window. Now, with the Management Studio, if you log in as sa with the default database set to db1, you still get server.master as your database in the embedded query editor. Also, consistent with this behavior, if I open the Query Analyzer and log onto the new SQL Server 2005 database (not recommended, I know, but works), it does the same thing. Again, in 2000, if you changed the default database, the Query analyzer would open a window starting at server.db1, not server.master. Am I missing something in 2005 to make this same default behavior work? ALSO, when logging into the Management Studio with sa (new default DB set), the connection properties of the Studio shows the DB to be master! What gives?
i have the following problem. After creating a linked Server on a SQL-Server 2005 connected to a DB2 instance i have the problem that my catalog is named in the object explorer: default.
Why is it so? And how can i fix it.
While the catalog is named "default" i can't use the four parted names to use statements.
I've only just started working on Sql Server Reporting Services 2005, My role is mainly that of administrator (some other unfortunate sole will be doing the development)
However, I'm having some problems configuring the "Welcome" screen on the server. Currently it looks like a default web directory, I can click through to Data Sources and a directory containing the current test reports:
Looks like: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 4:14 PM <dir> Data Sources Wednesday, January 10, 2007 4:14 PM <dir> Test Reports
Clicking on Test Reports gives: [To Parent Directory]Wednesday, January 10, 2007 4:14 PM 15193 Basic Test Report
Question is: Is there an XML (Or XSL) file somewhere where I can define how the website displays the report directories and names. Or Do i need to build a custom web app?
A link in the right direction would be most appreciated!
Hi Guys, I installed the Sql Server 2005 Express and the Management studio Express as well. Does it come with default database so that we can practice on it....If yes, I am not seeing it...How can i find it....? OR It does not come with Default database and we have to create new one....?
