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
Hi all,
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)?
Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I am having trouble to use SSMSE to remotely connect SQL Express server using IPs other than the base IP of the machine.
Machine settings:
(1) Has multiple IP configured. Those IP are accessible remotely
(2) Firewall is not on.
SQL Express server configuration:
(1) TCP/IP and named pipe are on
Browser service state:
(1) running
(2) listening at 0.0.0.0:1434 (UDP)
SSMSE connection results:
(1) with <baseIP><instance>, connects OK
(2) with <otherIP><instance>, connection failed.
Both connections use exactly the same authentication information.
Testing results using telnet:
(1) telnet <baseIP> 1434, OK
(2) telnet <otherIP> 1434, OK
Does SSMSE actually only listen on the base IP even it shows to listen on all the IPs?
Hi
Apologies for this question
I have just found out i/we need to upgrade to the full version of this management tool to make use of SSRS for a new CRM we are putting in place, The CRM company tells me we can just install the tool from our SQL 2005 disk.
Im wondering what the best way to go about this is? i would guess we just un-install the express version install the full version of the management tool and reconnect to the database. unless im missing anything?
thanks
Hi,
I am having problem with remote connection via TCP/IP connection on default port 1433. TCP/IP connection are enabled on the server.

Here is the situation:
I have SQL server express 2005 installed on my pc as instance SQLEXPRESS.
I have created a Visual Basic applicaion with the following as connection to the SQL server express 2005 running on the same PC:
****************************************************************************************************
Dim lconnectionString As String Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder Dim cmd As New SqlCommand Dim reader As SqlDataReader Dim parameter As SqlParameter builder("Data Source") = ".SQLEXPRESS" builder("Initial Catalog") = "" builder("AttachDbFilename") = "C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf" builder("Integrated Security") = True builder("User Instance") = True lconnectionString = builder.ConnectionString Dim sqlConnection1 As New SqlConnection(lconnectionString) cmd.CommandText = "SP_add_collection" cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1 sqlConnection1.Open()
*******************************************************************************************************************
It seems that i can not connect to the abc.mdf in SSMSE while the VB program is running. (ERROR:
Database 'C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) )
If i connect to the abc.mdf first in SSMSE, then run the VB program afterwards, it gives me the error on this line -- sqlConnection1.Open()
I want to be able to access the abc.mdf database with both SSMSE and VB at the same time. Could anyone help me on this ?
Thanks very much !

Hi all,
I ran the following CTE sql code:
Use ChemDatabase
GO

(
SELECT TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit,
Prim = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Primary' THEN TR.Result END),
Dupl = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Duplicate' THEN TR.Result END),
QA = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'QA' THEN TR.Result END)
FROM TestResults TR
JOIN Samples S ON TR.SampleID = S.SampleID
GROUP BY TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit
)
SELECT AnalyteName, UnitForConc,
avg1 = abs(Prim + Dupl) / 2,
avg2 = abs(Prim + QA) / 2,
avg3 = abs(Dupl + QA) / 2,
RPD1 = abs(Prim - Dupl) / abs(Prim + Dupl) * 2,
RPD2 = abs(Prim - QA) / abs(Prim + QA) * 2,
RPD2 = abs(Dupl - QA) / abs(Dupl + QA) * 2
FROM PivotedTestResults
GO
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I got the following errors:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
Invalid column name 'Unit'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Invalid column name 'Unit'.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I guess that I had "Unit" (instead of "UnitForConc"), when I executed the sql code last time!!!???
How can I delete the old, wrong CTE that is already in the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

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 1Could 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 1Windows NT user or group 'ORTHANCSQLEXPRESSASPNET' not found. Check the name again.Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 80User or role 'aspnet' does not exist in this database.Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Server ORTHANCSQLEXPRESS, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 80User 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!
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
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.

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:

Can anyone help me with this please! Keep in mind I'm not a SQL guru. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
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

I checked the forum and couldn't find the answer,sorry if someone already answered my question and I missed it.

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,

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi 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

Getting ready for a system deployment tomorrow and looked at the Teratrax Management tool instead of the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). Teratrax tool is nice (adds more features for scripting and file management) but thought we'd opt to stick with the free SSMSE for now.
Went to run SSMSE and it doesn't run. Pointer flickers once and then nothing happens. Okay, uninstalled Teratrax and tried SSMSE. No change. Uninstalled and re-installed SSMSE, followed by a reboot. No change.
Argh! Does anybody have any suggestions on what to look for to get SSMSE back in gear? It make life much easier for the green admin like myself and we need it for the interim.
Daggumit, frustrating!
Thanks in advance of any advice or input provided.
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?
Is SSMSE Redistributable?
