Hi,
We can see current connections while trying to detach the database through SQL server 2005 Management studio.
Is there any way to drop all existing connections to an SQL server 2005 database with out detaching it.
Thanks
We have a legacy C++ application which uses ODBC to connect to SQL server. The application is a server process that opens a connection and caches it. Unfortunately on a connection drop, it does not refresh the connection. The standard installation is a 3 machine web/app/sql setup.
It has been working fine since last 4-5 years unless the SQL Server goes down. In that case, I keep seeing "Function sequence error" and "Communication link failure" errors. On one particular client installation on application server, I started getting this exception while SQL Server was up and running (on a different machine). I would see the connections randomly dropping in the activity monitor after 3-4 hrs of inactivity.
I wrote a .NET test app which uses ODBC drivers for SQL Server and makes a connection and then just waits. Out of 5 connections established by this application I saw one connection being dropped as well. Another test app used ADO.NET and it did not drop any connections. I asked the IT to check the network and they say its fine.
The servers are W2k3 SP2 and database is SQL Server 2005. IsAutoClose on all the databases is false. Nothing goes in the logs even after turning on traces using DBCC.
Since the connection drop was very random, I turned off connection pooling on "ODBC driver for SQL Server" on the application server and now it is working fine.
Can someone explain me what could be the reason? Also, is there a way to upgrade or downgrade ODBC drivers on W2K3 machines?
Thanks,

I need detailed instructions on how to connect to a database from a Microsoft Access 2007 database to a Microsft Office Accounting 2007 database. The accounting database is an SQL 2005 datbase. It has an instance name of "MSSMLBIZ".
When I try I get an SQL error 53. Do not have permissions or database does not exist.
Thanks in advance for any help.,
Using Studio, I created a user defined database role but I can not delete it because

I just got a shared hosting plan with godaddy (economy plan) ...
I wrote a simple application with a database. it works fine on my local PC.
I tried to upload my files to the server, but i couldn't get database file on godaddy's server. I did a little research and found out they dont allow uploading database files to their server nor they allow remote access either.
so I logged in to my account and found a database links and I created one (SQL Server)

I then logged in to the database and created a new table .. but now I dont know how to make a connection between this database and my application on my pc.
I later found that I must modify my web.config file for the database to work. http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=689&topic_id=216&prog_id=GoDaddy&isc=
<connectionStrings><add name="Personal" connectionString="Server=whsql-v04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_675;User ID=user_id;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /><remove name="LocalSqlServer"/><add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=whsql-v04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_675;User ID=user_id;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>
Now- I am new to web developing, but I do understand that this code is not enough to create the connection to the database. I researched alot but I cant get further.
What code/ settings/ steps do I need to do to get my gridview and other database items connect to the database on godaddy's server ?
any help would be greatly appreciated...

Can anyone please help me out! Many thanks!
Hi, everyone! I have a small problem.
It consists in:
1. I'm trying to connect to database on my Pocket PC within Visual Studio 2005 (C#)
Connection string looks like this:
SqlCeConnection1.ConnectionString = "data source = '\storage card\mobiluser.sdf'";
But when i'm deploying it to Pocket PC the error "An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found" appears.
2. When I'm doing te same on Pocket PC Emulator everything is normal.
Off course, I have the .sdf file on Pocket PC which is placed to Storage Card into root directory.
If anyone knows where I get a mistake, help me please!
Thanks for your help!
I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).
What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.
APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.
Thanks in advance,

I am setting up a web server and I'm having some issues with database connections. I am running Windows Server 2k3 and SQL Server 2005. The error I get is when I attempt to connect to the database, it's the following:
Cannot open database "dbReseacher" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'userRes'.
The following is my connection string:
<add name="RESEARCHER" connectionString="Data Source={Sql Server}; Server=THRALL2; Database=dbReseacher; Uid=userRes; Pwd=password;"/>
In SQL Server Management Studio, the user userRes is listed under Security -> Logins, but it is not listed under Database -> dbResearcher -> Security -> Users. Originally it was listed under both and this didn't solve the problem.
Please let me know if you any ideas or questions that I can answer. Thanks a lot.

I was wondering if anyone may be familiar with a way to create a dropdown list that included a list of SQLServers. Basically I want to create a little application that lets a user point to an instance of sql server, similar to enterprise manager. I wanted to use C# and figured there may be some namespaces I could use that provide this functionality but was not sure.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been working around with SQL Server Express 2005 on VISTA. I created a small C++2008 application which interface with SSE 2005. When running my application, it automatically created a user instance which I would like to get rid of. I just forgot from start to set "User Instance = False" in my connectionstring. (oups...)
I'm aware, from readings I did, that a couple of tables as well as log files, etc. are created under directory "utilisateurs...AppDataLocalMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS". SQLEXPRESS is the instance name chosen during install of SSE2005.
Also using following SQL Statement:
select owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name, heart_beat
from sys.dm_os_child_instances
I got following result:
owning_principal_name: PC-DE-STEPHANEStéphane
instance_pipe_name: \.pipe6172F4E8-622E-4A sqlquery
heart_beat: dead (at this moment...)
==> How can I make a good cleanup of all this as well as get rid of the user instance itself?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have an environment with MS-SQL Server 2014 and always-on availability group configured (on 2-nodes).
I'm writing a Powershell Script which removes the database from the availability group (on the primary server) and then SHOULD drop the database on the secondary Server.
That works most of the time, but not always...
When it fails I get the error message:
Cannot drop database "Customer_2" because it is currently in use.
When i check the secondary DB-Server (sp_who2) while the script is running, i see that there is a process for the DB "Customer_2" with Status="background", Command="DB STARTUP" and LastWaitType="REDO_THREAD_PENDING WORK".
As soon as the script fails, this process for "Customer_2" disapears.
This happens always only on the second database in the availability group.
Why is the process still there, even after I removed the database from the Availability Group on the primary node.
If I remove the database from the availability group manually, the "background" process on the secondary node for that database disappears..

I would like to write code to delete and add a SQL Login to every User database on my development server.
Whenever I restore databases to dev using production backups the SQl Server logins are invalid and I need to delete them from the user database and add them again.
I've already hard-coded a sql server job with n steps... a step for each user database to drop and add this sql user to each database. This isn't optimal since I have to add or delete a step everytime a user database is added or deleted.
Does anyone know how to write a loop or cursor that does this dynamically?
I am doing something syntactically wrong related to the GO statement.
declare @db varchar(100)
declare @message varchar(3000)
DECLARE user_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT top 1 name

where name not in

Hi, I had an old web application created during asp.net 1.1 and it have a connection problem with the sql server 2005 when it is mirgrated to a new webserver with dotnet framework 2.0 platform. I have enabled the remote access(TCP/IP and named pipes) in sql server 2005, did all the neccessary things, check whether the TCP/IP is enabled, named pipe is enabled... I created another web application using VS 2005. The database connection works perfectly well.This are the connectionString from the old web application.<appSettings> <add key="ConnectionString" value="Server=127.0.0.1;Database=somedb;User id=user; Password=somepassword; Trusted_Connection=False; POOLING=FALSE"/></appSettings> Thankyou in advance!

Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07
Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00

Hi, I'm fairly new to the asp.net enviroment.. I have a project in asp.net and I need to upgraded to asp.net 2.0... I just did that, and the few errors that I got are resolved already, the only error that I have not been able to figure out is when I tried to retrieve data from a database I get the following error:
An error has ocurred while establishsing 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) and it points to the following line:
Dim ds As DataSet = Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(GlobalD.CfgKeyConnString), CommandType.StoredProcedure, "PG_LST_MENU_BY_SUBJECT")
As I said before my project with the previous version works fine, and this is the only part that is giving me trouble...

I've mapped a sqlserver machine within vs2005, but when I attempt to set the database connection, I dont see place to stick the port number (even in the advanced area)... it continues to fail when I test the connection.. I can telnet into the machine on the sql server port, so I know its open to me...
Also - when I publish this to an IIS server, what is the syntax for placing the connection and port number in web.config? I've tried various settings, cant get it to work. <appSettings><add key="con" value="Server=12.123.123.123;PORT=1234;UID=*****;PWD=*****;database=mydb" /></appSettings>

Good day.
I am trying to look at a friends database that they have developed. Not having used SQL Server Express before I am experiencing problems trying to remotely connect to their database.
He connects locally just fine of course.
I get the error message about remote connectionsand the default settings so I have enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes as well as cleared SQLSERVER Express in my firewall settings. I also stopped and restarted the service, but still get the same error message.
My connection parameters are like:

Authentication: SQL Server Authentication (windows authentication? If so, how do I change to such?)
Login: http://username (should http be here? have tried with and without same error)
Password: password
TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to http://sql.exampledatabase.net

I downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and some sample databases (incl. Adventureworks_data.mdf), but when I try to Add Connection in VS 2005 to point to this db and use the Test Connection button, it gives the error:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
---------------------------
I've tried setting the data source as either "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" or "Microsoft SQL Server", but get the same error.
Any tips on verifying SQL Srv Express is installed correctly? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Is this an intrinsic issue?
