Installing SQL Express SP1 With Existing User Instances
Jun 14, 2006
Hi,
I've read the readme for the Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/1/bd1e0745-0e65-43a5-ac6a-f6173f58d80e/ReadmeSQL2005SP1.htm
But I'm not quite clear on what will happen if you currently have SQL Server Express 2005 installed with User Instances, and then you launch the installer for SP1.
Will it also update the User Instance? If so, how could I tell? When I go to the registry for the User Instance it has the older version value ie.
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server[instance name]MSSQLServerCurrentVersion = 9.00.1399.06
Shouldn't it be saying 9.00.2047.00?
Does this mean that I have to uninstall the User Instance before installing SP1?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.

My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.

Hi all,
I want to do SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express and I have read the following articles and books:
(i) Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio in http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-insta...
(ii) Managing SQL Server Express with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express Edition in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sql/2005/mgsqlexpwssmse.mspx
(iii) Chapter 16 - Going Beyand Transact-SQL: Using the SQL Common Language Rutime (SQLCLR) in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for Dummies
(iv) Chapter 21 - Working with the Common Language Runtime in Microsft SQL Server 2005 Programming for Dummies
(v) Chapter 4 - Introduction to Common Language Runtime (CLR) Integration in Programming SQL Server 2005 by Bill Hamilton.
I want to create an SQLCLR project "HelloWorld" by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. But I am still not sure how to get it started, because I do not understand the following things:
(1) Pipe Name for a User Instance, (2) Enabling (or Disabling) the CLR by using Transact-SQL, (3) Creating a Transact-SQL script, (4) Creating an Assembly, (5) Creating a backup device, etc. I need to see some simple examples of SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. Please help and tell me where in the websites I can find them.
Thanks in advance,

I have a general question relating to SQL Express User Instances. Our application connects to a local SQL Express database through the default SQLEXPRESS user instance. My question is simply whether a user may experience a problem in connecting to our application's database should another application already be connected through the same default user instance (SQLEXPRESS)? The two applications are therefore running similtaneously. Also, are there any limit to how many applications could use the same service similtaneously?

I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute:
C:SSEUtil>SSEUtil -l
I got the following:
1. master
2. tempdb
3. model1
4. msdb
5. 56713D4D965AE4455_TSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSMYFIRSTAPPSSE-VBEXPRESS-WINDOWSAPPLICATION1BINDEBUGMYDB1.MDF

9. C:ADVENTUREWORKSLTADVENTUREWORKSLT_DATA.MDF
I created some VBE projects and used some examples from some tutorial books and websites in the past. But, I thought that user instance timeout is 60 minutes and user instances should be gone after 60 minutes. Why do I have the above-mentioned user instances remained in SSEUtil now? Please explain this thing for me.
Thanks,

Hi There
I have found no real documentation on this, so any links would be greatly appreciated.
We have an existing 2 node active active cluster.
A default and and named instance SS2005 Enterprise Edition are installed on the cluster.
Recently we acquired new hardware, 2 servers, which we added to the cluster so we now have a 4 node cluster.
The 2 new nodes have OS etc installed.
Now i have installed sql on a new multi node cluster, i have upgraded sql server in an existing cluster BUT i have never installed sql on an existing cluster for new nodes for multiple instances.
Now i presume you simply run the install on one of the new nodes, do this for a default instance, selecting both 2 new nodes to installl on. And do this again for the named instance.
But in the past I have never been promoted for which nodes to install sql on, it simply does all the nodes BUT i do not want this.
And how will the cluster know where the binary files are for each instance on the new nodes?
In a nutshell, how do i install sql server 2005 for 2 new nodes in an existing 4 node cluster for multiple instances ?
Thanx

I am relatively new to sql developer. There is a new user that just joined our organization. I am trying to grant him the same direct grants privilege to the tables that an existing user has. The existing user has a ton of direct table access privileges and it will take days if I had to do each grant one by one like: grant select,insert,delete,update on 'table name' to 'user id'. Is there a way of copying or inserting an existing user's privilege and granting it to a new user.

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Regards,
Shuja.

I have been developing and testing my app for some time without worrying about the question of user instances. Due to the nature of the app, I would want the database to be copied to laptops, where data would be added and then merged back into the "main" DB.
To facilitate this, when the (VB) app first installs, it copies the DB files from the data directory to an easily accessible folder which it creates in the C: drive (if they are not already there - to facilitate application upgrades).
The code is written and working. However, then I thought about user instances. With User Instance set to True, I suspect that this concept of a DB file created by a user on a given machine being readable by another user with a laptop is likely to fail (unfortunately I only have access to a single machine).
So I tried to change the User Instance to false (in the App.config file). This stopped the application from running. I checked in the Modify Connection (Advanced) screen which still showed User Instance to be True. I tried to change this but got an error message.
I can see a way around this, but I don't like it. I guess, rather than "export" the DB files to the laptop, I could send the data as an XML file. However, this seems to me to compromise security as it would be very easy for anyone to filter any actual data they wanted from such a file - unless there is a way to password protect an XML file?
So, is there any way that I can make these DB files (on the C: drive) available to any user, on any machine who is running the application so that they can import the data to their version of the App, add to it and then send the changes back to the original?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi,
So if the connection strings for say 2 separate users is configured for a user instance, what is the best approach to synchronising the user instances against each other and the Server instance?
This architecture suits remote users and I'm very interested to learn more about it.

Given than once SQL Server 2005 is installed, SQL Server Studio has to
be used instead of Enterprise manager, can both SQL 2000 and 2005 be
used on the same machine, be it development or production? (The second
one to be installed probably would be a named instance.)
Any experiance of doing this or a pointer to a Microsoft recommendation would be appreciated.

On first run, my app takes the blank database from the data directory and sticks it into a folder on the C: drive. Lets call this folder ABC for convenience.
Now, sometimes, we need to take this DB to use on another machine. So I have a "Guest" button available at logon screen of the app that allows the user to browse the file system and select a different DB to use then creates the appropriate connection string for say, a DB on a USB stick or wherever.
Con = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="
Con += OpenFileDialog1.FileName
Con += ";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30" ';User Instance=True"
No problems here, it works for Express Edition.
However, someone else who is trying to use the app has SQL 2005 (not Express Edition installed) and it wouldn't work because the connection strings had User Instance = True in them.
Okay then, we'll just remove that bit of the connection string and it should work. They should be an Admin so no reason for User Instances.
It works fine if we browse to any DB file other than the one in ABC folder.
However, it is impossible to connect to the DB in ABC folder unless User Instance is set to True.
Secondly; for the app to work with the non-express version, would the connection string need to be changed (SQLEXPRESS)? If so, how do you detect programmatically which version the user has?
Can anyone help please, in idiot proof terms!!!
Thanks,
Rich

Hi
We have developed an application that uses User Instances of the database for each user. We have a stored proc that enables and disables the triggers on the various tables of the database. In our first round of debugging we have found that the applciation hangs when we try to either enable or disable the triggers. Can you modify triggers in user instances???
Thanks

· Reporting Services
(Reporting Services, Report Manager)

Warning: Setup found that the following components that already exist are at a different service pack level than the components being installed.

After completing setup, you must download and apply the latest SQL Server 2005 service pack to all the components.

Hi,
I nearly went nuts before finding out that SqlExpress Names Instances don't listen on Port 1433. Having discovered that I now think I can nominate a specific port, is that correct.?
My main question. I copied my databases from my development machine to a server, which will be accessed from an internal domain, and also through VPN tunnels. Should I change from User Instances on the server, and if so, how do I do this.?
My original application wasn't using User Instances, but chnaged to them somehow, when my PC had a name change.

Hi all,
This is my first C# (2.0) Windows based app accessing a local SQL Server database. Ive build a couple of web based apps using C#.
First I just copied a datbase access wrapper class from one of my web apps and used that. It works, but, the database shown in Server Explorer in VS2005 shows the table as empty. The table in /bin/ however, is updated as expected. Before I realised that there were seperate instances of the database i stripped everything down to a very simple example
[code]
string sConnectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";
SqlCommand foo = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO tblTest (foo) VALUES ('atest')");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString);
conn.Open();
foo.Connection = conn;
foo.ExecuteNonQuery();
foo.Dispose();
conn.Close();
[/code]
This little tester windows based app has a simple tester drag and dropped grid view in it. When i run /pathToApp/bin/Debug/<AppName>.exe, independantly of VS, the grid view is full of the value "atest" as expected, but not when ran under visual studio. As I said above i found (at least i think this is right) there is a debug and user instance of the database. So im guessing I need two connection strings if i want to update both whilst dev'ing the application.
Ive had a look throuhg connectionstring.com and, to be honest, im confused... Any help for what the second connection string should be would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks.

b) since SQLEXPRESS is the default for an SQL Express installation, I would like for the VBB05 program to use that instance; how do I do that?

Using Windows XP SQL Express 2005...
In Windows Installer Clean Up, it shows two instances:
MSSMLBIZ (used by Outlook Enterprice 07 with BCM)
Control, Panel, Add Remove, Remove SQL Express 2005, shows:
CSOLUTION (which is disabled)
MSSMLBIZ (enabled for BCM 07)
SQLEXPRESS (which is disabled)
The disabled instances will not start due to various error messages.
Under Computer, Manager, Services, more instances are listsed, which also will not start:
SQLEXPRESSDATA for example (which is disabled)
I would like to remove CSOLUTION since it is not used; it will not remove from control panel or manually via http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/909967 . You get various error messages, such as
Another application has exclusive access to the file c:program files...errorlog. Please shut down all other applications, then try again.
Even after a reboot, I still get this error.
I want to install and use instance SQLExpress, and I cannot remove it, but it will not start, and trying to reinstall it fails.
It was simple under MSDE 2000, no2 it seems to be impossible.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Honestly, I would like to uninstall SQL Express 2005 completely (except the BCM instant), and start over, but canot find a way to do this. SQL Express is a mess, I have spent days trying to resolve this, and am still where I started.
Thanks, bob
