Installing SQL 2005 Express And Attaching Database From CD
Apr 11, 2007
Hi there,
I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....
My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-
sqlcmd.exe
template.ini
type into the command prompt.
Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?
Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.
Regards
Sam

I'm trying to attach a MSDE 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 Express.
I simply issue sp_detach_db XXX where XXX is the name of my MSDE database. Then sp_attach_db or create database ... with attach and both way gets the following message:
Event ID. : 3415
Description: Database 'XXX' cannot be upgraded because it is
read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and
rerun recovery.
What does it mean?
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
I am using the full version of sql server 2005 management studio to attempt to attach sql express mdf files to sql server 2005.
I was using the databases from an ASP.NET commerce starter kit in sql express. I want to update to sql server 2005, so i detached the dbs.
i deleted the sql express management studio ctp and installed sql server 2005 from the free 6 month trial available online.
I then attempted to attach the sql express files to sql server 2005 and get the following error:

Howdy Folks,
I have a site on WS2003, IIS 6 installed on c:.
I put the site in a folder on d:. Nothing else is on d: except the web site.
I added a new website in IIS and pointed to the site on d:.
Using the default connectionString in machine.config, I am unable to connect to ASPNETDB.MDF. Therefors, I can not log in.
In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I attached ASPNETDB.MDF. I then am able to log in.
Does ASPNETDB.MDF have to be manually attched like this when the web site is located on a drive othr than where IIS is installed and running?
Thanks

If I create a database in SQL Express and then copy the MDF/LDF files and attach them to a machine running SQL Server 2005 Standard - will this new database have SQL Express limitations?
Are there good reasons not to do this and create the database in SQL Server Standard using scripts generated from the SQL Express instance instead?
Basically, I'm setting up a merge replication between Standard and SQL Express for a common database and I figure attaching a copy of the database created in SQL Express is the fastest way to get this started.

I just upgraded a large SQL 2000 database server to SQL 2005, and I have 2 databases that won't attach to the 2005 Server. They are both very small, about 90MB in size, and when I attach them to 2005, the process alternates between running and spinloop status. It can sit forever, and will never complete. I restored backups before the upgrade to a SQL 2000 Server, and reran DBCC CheckDB on both, and got no consistency errors, Updated Stats and indexes, then detached and moved the data files to 2005, and same thing.

Hi,
I just installed SQL 2005 express. It did not prompt me for a selection for the collation. How do I tell what collation it is installed at? And how do I tell whether it is case sensitive or not?

Hi,
I am installing SQL Server 2005 on a server that is currently running SQL Express. My reason for installing full SQL is due to the database size limitation of SQL Express.
Can anyone give me advice on whether I should unistall SQL Express before installing SQL Server 2005 or just install over the top of Express.
Thanks

I am working on Win2K Pro & had SQL Server 2005 Express & SQL Server Management Studio installed. The SQL Server name was MerverSQLEXPRESS. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to repair (& not re-install) Win2K but after doing so, I found that I am not able to connect to the database server. I uninstalled all the components related to SQL Server 2005 Express (like Management Studio, Support Files, BOL etc.) from my m/c & then restarted my m/c.
After doing so, I first re-installed SQL Server 2005 Express & other related components (I intended to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after installing SQL Server 2005 Express). While installing SQL Server 2005 Express, all the steps get executed successfully except for the last one which happens to be SQL Server Database Services. At this point, I get the following error:
An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.
The problem is after I click the OK button, I am not even given the option to change the instance name! The Status message corresponding to SQL Server Database Services just says Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for details. Finally, when I click the Next button, the next dialog finishes the Setup (showing the Finish button).
Now how do I overcome this problem? Please note that the Authentication mode I am using is Windows Authentication.
Someone please suggest me a concrete solution. It's driving me nuts! My receding hairline is getting further receded!
Lastly, please note that, as far as possible, I would like to keep the instance name as MerverSQLEXPRESS only.

Hi everyone
I have just installed SQL Server 2005, default settings. I have attempted to add a new ODBC driver using Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN tab - Add - SQL Server - default settings, but it fails.
I did all this for MySQL some months ago, but I must have forgotten something.
Please can someone tell me what to do next.

Hello,
I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.
But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.
However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.
I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Hi, I've recently installed the SQL SRV Express SP1 (ADV + Toolkit) (IIS already installed)
select @@version returns:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2040.00 (Intel X86) Mar 13 2006 11:20:51
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Express Edition with Advanced Services on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2) - this seems to be ok.
The "Reporting Services Configuration" fires up, but when trying to
start the reporting service (pane Server Status) the following error occurs:
System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)
Trying to start the RS service via the Service pane doesn't work either..
Any hints to solve this problem? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm preparing to install VS2005 along with SQL Server 2005 express on VISTA. Honestly, I just hope nothing will get screwed up...
- After installing VS2005, I will first install SQL Server 2005 express from my VS2005 DVD
- I will then install SQL Server 2005 express with Advanced services SP2 as well
as SQL Server 2005 express toolkit SP2 upgrades.
A few technical questions:
1. Considering the fact that I have Office2007 as well as Outlook 2007 installed on my VISTA machine, is there any install issues regarding SQL Server 2005 and Office2007? I remember having read posts reporting install problems... Any feedback would be appreciated.
2. After I install SQL Server 2005 Express from VS2005 DVD, do I need to install SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 before installing SP2?
Thanks all for your help,
Stéphane

Hi,
I noticed that SP2 was finally released. A few question before I dive in that install:
- Must I uninstall anything before installing SP2?
- Considering that fact that I keep a copy of each install programs on a disk in case of crash recovery, must I keep SP1 files as well as SP2 files or can I consider that SP2 is complete by itself, that it completely overwrite SP1 and so delete SP1 files and just keep SP2 files for backup?
- If I also have Compact Edition installed, is there any SP2 issued for it?
- Is there a place where I can sign in so I can receive some sort of email notice where an upgrade is available for download for SQL Server 2005 as well as for Visual Studio 2005?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

Hi guys,
I'm currently taking a course in Visual C#.
The school provided a link to MSDNAA for a free educational copy of Visual Studio 2008, however our school uses Visual Studio 2005. I wanted to use the same thing so I downloaded Visual C# express 2005.
I can't get the darned thing to install properly. I get an error at the end saying
The following failed to install
Micosoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition x86
I don't know what to do. I won't be able to get to work on assignments if I don't get this working soon.

Hello,
I'd like to install SQL Server 2005 Express.
I just want to confirm that I can just install it on top of what I already I have.
About 2 months ago, I installed Visual Studio 2005, full edition (not express).
I can't remember what I did regarding SQL... whether I installed anything or not.
On my PC at the moment, in the Control Panel ---> "add/remove programs" section, I have :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Size 197,00MB
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools Size 6,95MB
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Size 4,16MB
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Size 20,60MB
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Size 0,66MB
From my start menu --> All Programs, the only SQL program is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", and this just has one sub-menu to "configuration tools". I cannot see a link to any SQL server, so I don't think I have it installed.
Should I uninstall the 5 programs listed above first ? Or can I just install SQL Server 2005 Express on top of what I already have ?
Thanks for your advice.
Ian.

I'm having trouble loging into sql...then I remebered when I first installed it on my XP pro machine the system config check showed everything passed except the following:
System Configuration Check
-
- COM Plus Catalog Requirement (Warning)
Messages
COM Plus Catalog Requirement
If SQL Server Setup fails, Setup will roll back the installation but may not remove all .manifest files. The workaround is to rename the files and then rerun Setup. For more information, see How to: Work Around COM+ Check Failure in SQL Server Setup.
- Can this be the reason I cannot log into sql ?
