Getting Started With The Express SQL 7

did the start program to run the SQL Server Configuration Manager (Local), but what do you do now?
Thanks
Getting Started With SQL Server Express......
Mar 19, 2008Well, its a bit embarrasing to have to ask such ignorant questions, but......
I've been using Oracle for a long time. And VERY occasionally I dabbled just a bit into SQL Server 2000.......
I now would like to create a database driven web application, so I downloaded the Express set. And the books online, in the hope they'd be well organized and provide simple straightforward information on how to do things.... If its there, I'm not finding it.
First question: Is there SOMEWHERE online tutorial/information on specifically how to do things? Something for a user familiar with relational databases and design and such, but needing to understand specifically how THIS database product works?
For example, I managed to get the management studio express open. And in "Registered Servers" there's something called Database Engine, within which there's serversqlexpress.
Can I create an instance (or whatever it is in the MS world) OTHER than sqlexpress, and do I need to? I ask because it appears sqlexpress is on my "C" drive, and I don't want it there... There appear to be system databases within sqlexpress, and I presume they'll grow... SO, do I need to get all this off to another disk? And, if so, how? Feel free to point me to the right documentation - I tried the SQL Server 2005 Tutorials, but after going through the "lesson" on SQL Server Management Studio I realized it was geared toward "how to open a window" rather than how to actually do anything... I found another topic in here that pointed to the "Getting Started White Paper", but that doesn't appear to be valid any more. It also pointed to the "Management Studio Express Primer" but that link just throws a 404 error...
And what on earth does the SQL Server Configuration Manager do? I've gotta be missing something that's obvious to the informed observer...
Getting Started With SQL Server Express 2005
Nov 4, 2005I am looking for a resource that will speak to the process of how to create a SQL Express database within VS 2005 - create relationships within the Database Diagrams (right now it complains that it does not have a valid dbo user and that I do not have permission impersonate the dbo user - if i tel it to grant me access it gives me the same message) - what security issues need to be considered as far as the SQL Express stuff is concerned. I am also wanting to know what pieces I need to have on my Internet and Intranet web servers so that when I delpoy my .net 2.0 app that the servers will be able to deal with the SQL Express database that gets copied out there? Should SQL Express on the web server be set to windows auth or mixed mode auth? If I choose windows auth does that mean that the ISP (internet server) has to have an NT account created for my web app so that I can connect to the SQL mdf?
I guess I am just kinda struggling with the process from creation of the database to making sure that when I deploy the application that it will be available.
Any help would be appreciated!Thanks,Derek
Troubles Getting Started With SQL 2005 Express
Dec 5, 2005So, I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and I just can't figure out how to get it to do anything.
I'm accustomed to SQL Server 2000, and I don't see anything familiar.
Where's Query Analyzer? Where's Enterprise Manager? All I see is this "Configuration Manager" stuff, which doesn't seem particularly useful.
How am I supposed to use this software? I feel like they could have tried a little harder on this one.

Started With Express, But Installed Developer And Don't See Developer Instance...
Jun 19, 2006I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
Thanks,
Geoff

SQL Express Database On Production Server Not Working
Aug 6, 2007Hi all,
I have a site which used a SQL Express database. On my development machine, it works perfectly. As soon as I move it to the production machine, it doesn't work at all. I am pretty confused by what is going on and I really don't want to install Visual Studio on my production machine just to debug it. I am hoping someone might have an idea what could be happening.
Oh, and I have tried setting Everyone to Full Control on the App_Data directory just to test. Still breaks. Below is my web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings> <add name="database_sqlexpress" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf; integrated security=true; user instance=true"/></connectionStrings>

Well... Help Getting Started
Nov 25, 2003Dear All,
This is my first time posting in this forum, so forgive me if my post is out of place. If so, let me know.
I am trying to get started setting up a development server on Windows 2000. These are the componants I have installed so far:
- IIS 5
- MSDE Database Server
- .NET Framework 1.1
- MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Componants)
- ASP.NET Web Matrix
I have also downloaded a quickstart example, TimeTracker, to learn from.
Here is my problem: When I try to install TimeTracker, it does not detect a database connection. Also, when I try to connect to a database in Web Matrix, it says I need to have client tools installed. What are these and how to I get them?
Is there anyone that can give me a hand with this? Is it a matter of running the MSDE service? If so, how do you do this?
My apologies for not being more knowledgable, but thanks for helping me get started.
Sincerely,
Chris

Can't Get Started
Jan 2, 2008I just installed SQL server 2005 with SP2 on Vista business.
When I open Management Studio, and try to Register a new server, I get this message:
Cannot connect to MyServer.
Additional information:
An error has occured 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 nor open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1231)
When I open SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration and click on Add New Administrator, there are no Available privileges. Not sure if this is relevant.
Don't know what to do, any help will be appreciated.

May 27, 2006I have just installed SQL Server at home. Had a bit of experience at work, but at home I have to get started from scratch.
Enterprise manager says 'Connection could not be established'. In this error it talkes about 'registration properties'. I am (by default ?) a member of SQL Server group, but I have no sub items, like databases. And how do I get to where I can edit stored procedures ?
As you can see I'm quite a novice, but with a little nudge I can would a lot out myself. But not all. If you can help me now, I'll be back soon.
Thank you so much.

Getting Started, Need Some Help
Nov 27, 2006i have roughly 10-15 access databases that i am trying to run through sql server express, i installed this thing thinking it would would "just work minus a little configuration", what a misconception.
so do tell, what do i need to do. i have sql server express running, it is configured to allow remote connections. i know the path's of these access databases. how do i attach them. i saw something about the command line interface but im not interested in that because of the number of databases i will need to manage, not to mention trying to add an additional one 6 months down the road and i will be lost all over again. i thought about downloading SQL Server Management Studio thinking it would be a "gui side" to the CLI version. while it was downloading, it said i need XX program, i go to that page, it says i need XX and XX first, it is turning into a pyramid scheme to install a billion programs.
so point blank, i want to share some access databases to my local lan, i have sql server express installed and running. what do i need to finish this out. the simplest and smallest footprint solution is needed.
all this because the program im using cant do remote databases. ugh.

How to I get the SQL database started ?
I am not using the express edition.
How To Get Started?
Feb 23, 2007This is a repost of my post on the VB Express board.
I would like your opinions.
I am a network guy. I learned basic years ago. I can do some html edits as needed to change sites.
Today I would like to start the long process of learning VB with .net applications. I thought I could start with Office developer xp to learn VB. I have that package.
I also would like to be able to build SQL quaries and integrations or automate and manipulate data exports and imports later down the road.
Example: Export various order and customer information from a shopping cart and import it in to Quickbooks or MS Accounting.
First off I need to be able to build web sites and I know I want to grow into VB and SQL.
What should I do?
Learn HTML from web monkey?
Start with Office xp developer Tutorials?
Start with VB Express?
Buy a book?
Can someone tell me where to start and when to move to the next language?
What is the best resource to get to it, without the bla bla bla and a commnd/syntax refference?
How do I mix Html, CSS and .Net (VB)...in the learning process?
I would like to get the fast track for the long haul.
Thanks so much.

Dec 27, 2006I am looking to learn about reporting with SQL Server for my company
Currently we have an applicaiton running on SQL Server 2000 and have SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services installed. However, I have VB Express and Web Development Express 2005.
How do I get started here? What versions "work" with what? Do I need to either upgrade the DB to SQL 2005 or find VB.net 2003, or can I use what I have to get started?
Getting Started 101
Aug 15, 2007hello,
i own about a dozen interactive forums (see example at http://ConcealedCarryForum.com for one of them) that i host on a windows 2000 server dedicated server out of my home on a commercial cable backbone. the forums are ASP using Access DBs. we have outgrown the capabilities of Access and are getting complaints from DB lag during peak usage, and i must upgrade my DB to ensure the QOS end users get from my forums. i have no intention of switching over to php/MySQL/linux formats.
i tried unsuccessfully to get MySQL to play nicely in a windows environment, and recently learned that MSSQL offers free versions, the compact and the express. trouble is, i know absolutely nothing about DB management. Access is idiot proof so i have used it as long as i could. now i find myself in a scramble to learn how to create, employ, and use a more powerful DB.
for my intended usage (running about a dozen DBs on a dedicated server), will compact or express be the appropriate version to start learning? for my intended usage, is there any benefit to downloading/installing/learning the additional tools that are also available? if so, which tools? where do i learn how to create new DBs, and what tools do i need to do this? most tech papers ive seen on MSSQL assume a prior working knowledge of MSSQL DB management and im coming into this completely ignorant but willing to dedicate myself to learning.
answers, advice, etc. very much appreciated.
Getting Started With DMX
Sep 19, 2006Hello,
I'm studying some articles about DMX and i have a question. DMX statements is only for prediction?
Can i create a model and run a classification/clustering/decision tree algorithm through DMX instead of prediction?Because all the examples i found are talking about prediction.
Are there any other sources i can study, so i can have a better understanding of what DMX does?
Thank you in advance!

Trying To Get Started
Sep 19, 2006Hi folks... this is part complaint, part request for help. I have an Access db that I'd rather were an sql db. Partly to learn sql and partly because all of the asp.net examples use sql and don't seem to work with access.
I installed VS2005 which includes sqlexpress, but there's no front end to it.. there's no way to "talk to" this sql2005. Can't seem to create tables, etc.
So, I installed SQL 2005 Development server... still no front end. Just some config tools that I presume I may care about some day but don't mean anything to me just yet.
I'm on XP Pro so can't install SQL 2005 Enterprise, but I discover a CTP called Management Studio Express. Well, we all know how robust CTPs are, nevertheless I install it and boy is it friendly.
At this point I feel as though I've missed The Big Thing that had I not missed I would be a lot further along.
Maybe the best way to express my question is to ask for what the heck I should have done in order to be learning sql at this point instead of having run out of time again.
Thanks for any insight.
Best,
Eric
PS... hmm, seems like this is mostly complaint... sorry.

Getting Started - What Do I Need?
Aug 7, 2006While I have been programming .Net for four years and T-SQL for about 12, I am a newbie to the whole SQL CLR thing. I have VS.NET 2003 on my machine, and I installed the client tools for SQL 2005 which also installs VS 2005 for SQL. Yet when I open VS 2005, it only has Data Analysis projects, but no Database projects. If I go into VS 2003 and try to import some of the assemblies I have found by googling 'SQL CLR' - VS 2003 won't let me add them.
Exactly what do I need to install so that I can get started? Do I need an instance of SQL server running on my machine? (I currently do not have a server running, only the client tools are installed)
TIA,

Help Getting Started With @@Identity
May 24, 2006OK, so, from what people tell me I should be using @@Idnetity. What Im trying to do is insert data into a table, than revrieve the id from the new row in that table, than use that id in another sql insert statment later down the road. Currnetly the way im doing it is with a sql insert, than executte the scalar, than execute a reader, which is causeing me much grief.
This is my sql statment here:
Dim sqlInsert As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Author (Lastname, FirstName, FullName) VALUES (@LName, @FName, @FullName)", sqlConn)
From what I understand, using @@Identity, I can retrive data from my insert statment without using a sperate select statment. Can you guys point me in the right direction, ive looked alot in the forms and such, most I found is either assuming you know what todo, or is security related.
Advice On Getting Started
Sep 27, 2005Hello all. I have some questions that are probably pretty stupid but Ill ask anyway :)
It is important that I start down a path of understanding mssql 2000. I wanted some advice from experts as to what the best way to start would be. Is there a great book out there? Can I run a version locally that I can play with? Also, when using the database, are the commands the same for mssql and mysql? I ask because I searched for tutorials and a lot more mysql tutorials popped up.
Obviously I dont expect to become an expert in a few weeks but if I could start down the path I would be happy. Maybe learn how to do simple maintenance and management functions.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
