Importing A Script Into SQL Server Express
Apr 1, 2006
I am having trouble importing a database script into SQL Server Express. The script is from the Web Applications book from the Microsoft MCSD exams. My installation of SQL Server Express appears to be fine as I can login and create/delete databases through it. When I attempt to import the database script I get a variety of errors as follows:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Contacts'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Msg 15401, Level 16, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
Windows NT user or group 'ORTHANCSQLEXPRESSASPNET' not found. Check the name again.
Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 80
User or role 'aspnet' does not exist in this database.
Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 80
User or role 'aspnet' does not exist in this database.I have added access permissions for the ASPNET user account on the SQL Server Express folder but that doesn't appear to have helped. I'm not sure if the error about contacts.mdf means that I should have a contacts.mdf created as a result of the script or whether it should be there to begin with.
I found this thread http://forums.asp.net/thread/433540.aspx but it didn't solve my problem.
Apologies for the length of the post. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I receive 4 .csv file downloads periodically (3 times per day) via email from our corporate database. I open each file in Excel, save as excel files, import to Access, replace the previous tables...run action queries, generate reports combined with production data from CSRs and supervisors. ALL DONE MANUALLY!!!
Here's where I am now:
-I've recently switched over to SQL Server Express.
-Used SSMA to bring tables over from previous Access database.
-Exercised the option to LINK these tables to the original Access database.(I'll explain why in a moment)
-Created ADPs for front end data entry use.
-Imported old Access database forms into the new ADPs previously used in Access.
-Connected to the new Server Express.
-I've eliminated my concurrent user problems by doing this.
HOWEVER, I am still bound to using old Access/Jet database to generate reports based on periodic downloads from corporate .csv files.
Here's the question:
What is the best way to import the csv files being sent to me via email into SQL Server Express? I've tried DTS. Seems to me you can't save AND actually use the packages later since it's the Express edition..... Importing manually 4 files, 3 times per day is a very tedious option I'd like to avoid. Any ideas?
Oh, by the way. Corporate has told me they would be willing to post the files to an FTP site instead of emailing the files. That's about as much help as I'm going to get from them. Can SQL Server Express be set up to run stored procedures (triggers) on a hot folder?
Thanks for your help.
David

[Note: originally posted this on microsoft.public.sqlserver.programmingbut had no luck there...sorry if you're seeing this twice]Some facts:1) I have an Access database (.mdb file) sitting on my harddrive.2) I have Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server Express, and Sql ServerManagement Studio Express.3) I do *not* have Microsoft Access.What I'm trying to do:I simply want to import the Access database into Sql Server Express. Inother words, I want to end up with a Sql Server Express database thathas all the same tables, keys, and relationships as the Access databaseas well as all the data from it. I can live without the queries storedin the Access database, but those would be nice too.What I've tried so far:I'm able to connect to the Access database using the "Linked Servers"features in Management Studio Express. From there, I was able to writesome simple Transact-SQL queries to find out what tables are in theAccess database and copy them, one at a time, into a Sql Server Expressdatabase.This is definitely a good start, but it doesn't take care of theprimary keys or foreign keys. There appear to be procedures for thoseas well (sp_primarykeys, sp_foreignkeys), but I keep thinking theremust be an easier way.Which brings me to...Questions:Without having to buy additional software/tools, can I import thisAccess database without a lot of programming? If so, how?Thanks in advance,-Dan

I'm trying to import a database. It seems my most likely route is via Excel, so I've moved my tables in there.
Then I tried setting up Excel as a linked server as described in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321686
My linked server gets created apparently with no errors, but I can't see any contents when I click on it in the object explorer.
Anyone with more clues than me?
thanks

I have software that uses SQL Server Express as it's database. I am only able to import so many records until it stops and fails to allow me to import anymore.
I'm very new at this but, is there some type of limitation on Table size that's preventing me from importing anymore data?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me,
Thanks... Bill

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

When I used Enterprise Manager it was very easy to import required tables from another server into my local MSDE server.
Now I am using SQL Express and SSMSE I cannot seem to find any other way of importing data other than creating the insert scripts manually which is a very painful and tediuos operation!
Can anyone advise if I have missed something and there is a way to import easily using SSMSE?
Thanks.......in hope

I am getting a dump of information from SAP into an Excel file. I would like to take this excel file and import the data into a SQL 2005 Express database.
Is this possible? Or will I need the full version of SQL to do this?

I would like to import data to a sqlserver express database. The database I am interested in importing was created in MSDE. I tried backing it up and using the restore function in sqlserver express but with no success. I have not been able to find an import function in the Management Studio Express interface. Is it possible to import this information, or should I get busy with my data entry?

I am trying to import (unless there is a better way) a database (which I made a backup of) from a SQL Server 2005 v8.0 machine into my SQL Server Management Express 2005 machine so that I can have a full complete copy of the backup database in express. The purpose is so that I can treat it as a template, get rid of tables, views, columns I dont need and repopulate them with different data to compliment my other project, which involves auto tagging of .mp3's.
As an analogy: copy an Excel spreadsheet, open it in Excel, delete cells you dont need, keep the rest but fill in with different data. Kinda like that but with SQL.
I can't figure out exactly how to do this with Express 2005. How do you import or otherwise a backup database from SQL Server 2005 v8.0 and get it into Express?
My backup file is called: WebBackup_KUOW_Program_Full
I've tried renaming it using both .mdf and .bak when I Right-Click Databases and select Restore. Fill in everything then click ok. I keep getting this error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

I am currently Using SQL Server Express for testing purposes while waiting for SQL 2008 to be issued. (Our project will take some 2-3 years to complete so concerns about using a 'new' version of SQL Server are not pertinent). We have ordered this week Visual Studio 2008 as the shrink wrap version is due out the end of this week.
I have been able to migrate all our data from the old database (Superbase) but only field names and field types.
Indexes and validation stuff is lost.
The problem I have is that:
I can only import to an empty database, therefore if I start to create Indexes and otherwise modify the structure of this database in SQL Server then I will lose all this work on the next occasion I need to import (as Superbase will still continue to be our firm's current daily data handling tool for another year or two)
My thoughts where to create a copy of the original import, develop the constraints, indexes etc. on this secondary copy. then (on the day we are ready to migrate) empty the copy of data and import the data only
Does SQL Server Express have the tools to do this?
If not then are my best options to use SQL Server Beta until the new software is realeased (but notice that Visual Studio 2008 does not like SQL2008 - is there a fix for this?)
I hope this is the right forum for these questions
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I have to write a program in VB to receive the read data from a RFID reader for my graduation project.The problem is I am not a computer science student so I have only general info on programming.
I created my DB in VB express but I couldn't find out how to send the read data (that will be either in XML or ASCII format) to my database...The read data will be transferred to my computer by the RFID reader's software but after that I don'T know how to transfer it to my DB.As I know I have to use commands like read.xml etc,but no idea how write the complete program.
I checked the forum and couldn't find the answer,sorry if someone already answered my question and I missed it.

Hi All,
At the moment i have a piece of software that uses Access to store the data into a number of tables.
I am developing a new piece of software that has been built around SQL express and need to upgrade users that are using access. I have managed to write the installation to install etc and also the start of a script to insert all of the tables. I cant work out how to get the data into SQL express using a script.
Basically the access db (CentralDb) will be stored a a given location C:Program FilesCentralDB.mdb
The tables within the SQL version are indentical to access but i need a way of pulling out the information stored and putting it into SQL, and as there is no DTS i am becoming stuck on how to automate the process.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Martin

What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.

I have a problem with SQL Server 2000. I have a rather large database (3 gigs). I have the recovery mode set to bulk-logged because I'm importing 300,000+ records (through Acccess (linked tables) due to several importing checks which need to be done which SQL Server DTS can't handle.) The problem is that my Transaction log keeps growing very large after each import. I've tried several different settings in SQL Server but I don't want to slow down the import process which runs through a rather intensive checking process. The problem is that the Transaction log keeps growing and will only shrink after nightly backups.
I've tried shrinking the database after 1 of the imports (which causes the Transaction log to grow to 400+ megs) and can't get it to shrink no matter how I do it (even tried using Backup Log Rebates WITH Truncate_Only as well as the All Tasks - Shrink Database.)
I also tried setting the Transaction log to 400 megs and not allowing it to grow.
What's the best way to do this with the settings in SQL Server? I still need to use Access to do the checks (a stored procedure/DTS won't work with all the checking needing to be done on each import.)

Hello,
I am attempting to import a database from one server (2000) into another one (2005). I have tried a variety of methods to do so, but each seems to have at least one hiccup. The biggest frustration is that, depending upon how I setup the tables prior to import, one of two things ends up kicking me in the rear:
1) I leave the IDENTITY cols set as such, and even though I enable identity insert in the wizard (SQL Server 2005 Management Studio), they end up just incrementing starting at 1 as though it was fresh data. Obviously, once I apply the PKs and FKs, everything falls to pieces.
2) I initialize the identity cols as INT, and the data imports just fine. However, when I try to add the IDENTITY to the cols, it tells me to go screw myself. Actually, it just throws a syntax error. Here is the statement that I'm attempting:
ALTER TABLE myTable
ALTER COLUMN myCol IDENTITY
GO
I have also tried
ALTER TABLE myTable
ALTER COLUMN myCol INT IDENTITY
GO
I'm pulling my hair out with this one. It's played a rather significant role in me getting only 2 hours of sleep in the last 40+ hours. I really try not to post questions without exhausting myself trying to figure out the answer, or to find it with research (which is part of figuring it out). I am a moderator on EasyCFM.com's ColdFusion forums (mquack is the screenname), so I know how annoying it is when people don't put forth any effort on their own. Hopefully I don't come across here as being "one of them".
Any help or guidance to the *right* sources would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :-)

Hello,I need to set up a development platform at home with a copyof a DB from a SQL server at a friend's company.So far, all my attempts at backup/restore or export/importhave failed despite my reading all the documentation Icould find (I am a newbie).Using DTS/Export wizard, I tried to export the DB first to aplain text file, then to an excells file. After having gonethrough all the screens, the export script runs. Itexported all the data for close to one hour, but at the endI only get a 0kb empty text file, or 5kb empty excellsfile.Is there a feature on SQL server preventing export (such asfor security reasons)? Then why would the export wizard runfor so long, just to output nothing?Since it's only for developement, I don't need the latestdata yet, so I burned on CD the .bak backup filespreviously made, but I couldn't import nor restore them onthe other machine. Depending on what I tried, I had variouserror messages, like* an improper login and password (which should this be: thatof the owner of the DB on the source SQL server, or that ofthe SQL admin or windows admin on the target server?),* an error saying that the backup doesn't belong to theempty DB I try to restore to...* I even managed to import a mydbname.bak.dns file with theDTS wizard (apparently it was a backup of an Access DB, notthe SQL Server DB I need), but the import script runsapparently smoothly for a while, but then the target DBdidn't contain any of the imported tables, only the systables.For the last several weeks, I have tried everything I couldthink of, read the docs, but still I am at a loss as to howto import or make a copy on my system of the BD from theoffice.What would be the proper procedure to import/restore thecopies of the backup I have burnt on CD into my freshinstall of W2000/SP1 + SQL Server 2000?Failing that, I can go back to my friend's office and tryagain to export the data, but how do I make sure I don'tend up with an empty file?thank you,Anguo.--http://www.masquilier.org/Condorcet, Approval alternative, better voting methods.http://www.gnosis-usa.com/Revolutionary Psychology, White Tantrism, Dream Yoga...http://www.reuniting.info/Intimate Relationships, peace and harmony in the couple.

Hi there,
Just wanted to ask is it possible to 'restore' a SQL Server 2005 backup file into SQL Server 2000.
What I mean is that we are being supplied with a SQL Server 2005 backup file, but we currently use 2000? Can we use this or do we need to upgrade etc?
Thanks.
