View 1 RepliesHi 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,
Scott Chang
My company wants to redistribute SQL Express with our product. I have not been able to figure out what is redistributable. Is it just the SQL Express package (SQLEXPR.exe) or is one also allowed to distribute the advanced package (SQLEXPR_ADV.exe)?
Thanks!
Hi,
We have over 1000 terminals running CE 4.2 on an x86 cpu currently using SQLCE 3.1.
We have just upgraded to VS 2008 and found the projects have been upgraded to reference SQL CE 3.5 - this is great, as we wish to use things like TOP etc.
However, all the distributable packages only include CAB files for CE 4.2 for the ARM Processor, or CE 5.0 for the x86. Is there a CAB package available for CE 4.2 for the x86 CPU? (please...)
Even just the relevant .DLL files would be fine as we repackage them ourselves anyway.
Thanks.
SQL Server 2005 Express (no sp) is 53.5 MB

SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 is 36.5 MB

That's a diff in size of almost 20 MB. How can the SP2 be so much smaller?
Hi.
I've been tasked with creating an installer that will either install SQL Express or connect to an existing SQL server.
Then I'm to run an .sql script to initialize a new database.
I'm using SSEUtil.exe as there will be no SQLCMD if the existing SQL server is on a remote machine.
Can I package SSEUtil.exe into my installer? Is this legal?
If not, is there a standard SQL Server client I can use to achieve this?
TIA,

Does the Redistributable Package need to be installed when when calling reports in remote mode? If so, does it need to be installed on the SQL server where reporting services is installed or just on the web server that calls the reports or both? Also, since the SQL server has the reporting services version of Visual Studio, does that version of Visual Studio need to be updated to SP1?

Everyone. I see that Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is out and includes an updated
ReportViewer control. Is there an update to the ReportViewer
Redistributable with those same fixes? Our product installs this
redistributable silently, and we render reports locally (i.e. RDLC), so
installing the full Visual Studio service pack would not help us (and installing just the assemblies would not either, since the Redistributable install seems to do other things "under the hood."
Thanks for your help!

I wrote program which connect to some remote MS SQL Server 2005, create SSIS package and store it to drive. Also it have ability to load SSIS package from drive, connect to server, load the SSIS package to specified server and execute it. Obviously, I used references to SSIS dlls in program. Question is - is SQL2005 necessary to be installed on computer where I execute the program? Since the program works with remote SQL Servers, I think what only some dlls is necessary for the program. Is it so?

Can any body tell me whether SQL Express with advanced services is availabe as a redistributable so that i could package it up with my application. Basically i need to supply different reports with my application for which i dont want to use any Crystal Reports type of thing. Moreover i also want such kind of reports available on the net. Please tell me how can i do that?

I noticed that Microsoft gives license to redistribute SQL Server Express as part of an application (though we have to register for this - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/howtobuy.mspx).
So we would like to take advantage of this, and redistribute SQL Server Express 2005 as part of our WinForms application (using the method described http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/09/20/763956.aspx or http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/emsqlexcustapp.asp)
My Question is: If we perform a silent install on the client machine (included with the installation of our application), are our end-users required to register Sql Server Express in order to use it? From this page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/register/) it appears that in order to use an Express version for longer than 30 days, one is required to register it. However, requiring our clients to register their version of Express kind of defeats the purpose of our using Express as our database format. We need a database that we can distribute with our application, that the end-users can use without having to register.
So is the redistribution license enough (in order that the end-users do not have to register their individual copies)? Or will the end-users also have to register their copies (in which case we probably cannot use SQL Express)?
Where do I find the setup files needed to redistribute sql server express installation files? I downloaded the SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE but the files disappear as soon as you cancel the installation.
I need the sql server setup files to package with my program fr distribution.
THANKS SO MUCH
Can somebody please help answering this question?
I'm planning to consider writing a SSIS package for a new project that requires downloading large chunk of data and transform into the diverse databases such as MS SQL or Oracle depending on the Client's Datbase.
For the clients having SQL Server installed at their end, i had no issues in deploying this package on their server and run it in their licensed instance.
What should be the case for others having Oracle database? Wouldn't installing the SQL 2005 client tools install the necessary run-time services for running SSIS packages? What i understood from the MSDN library (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403355.aspx) is that there's no run-time support available for running the SSIS packages (unlike DTS run-time support) in production environment!
Would that mean that it requires a SQL Standard edition, at minimum, (as Integration Services is OOTB from Standard Edition onwards) to be installed at the production site to run this package?
If so, the client wouldn't be ready (which is fair too) to buy the new license just to run this package. Is there any work-around/suggestions for this case?
If not, can somebody please point me to the right location where i can download the run-time support for running SSIS packages?
Any thoughts on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I am doing drillthrough from ReportA to ReportB via the Date field on ReportA. In Report Manager, all is well. However, when run through a custom app using asp.net and the report viewer control, the behavior was erratic. sometimes it would work. sometimes it would merely bring up the ReportA again and i would have to click Date again and then it would work.
a coworker recommended the Report Viewer fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933137. Since the redistributable was not present in Add/Remove programs on my test box, i installed the full version. I then started up the .net app in debug and ran ReportA and drilled through to ReportB several times and could not make it fail. I was happy.
Since the redistributable was not present on the production box, i installed the full install there as well. However, the erratic report viewer behavior continued.
I decided to try runnign ReportB directly instead of via the drill through from ReportA. ReportB had always run perfectly on its own. When i try to use the graphical date selector control, the results are different depending on the machine I use.
1. If i am using my test box, and i run ReportB directly via the app in debug mode, i get a runtime error indicating Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required. It then points to Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd at the GetObjectPosition(obj) function.
2. If i am using my test box and go out to the live production website, i get the same runtime error.
3. If i am using another machine and go out to the live production website, the data selector control merely seems to refresh the report. This is the same behavior i get when using the production server and going out to the live website.
The redistributable has been uninstalled from both the test box and the production box. This did not change the behavior described above.
All of the Microsoft.ReportViewer items in C:Windowsassembly indicate version 8.0.0.0.
Any help would be grand. Also, please let me know if I should cross post this in the .Net forums.
Thank you.
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?
can anyone tell me how to open/create a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database using SQL Server Management Studio Express?
cheers
Hello. I just started using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I am creating a new table by right-clicking the "Tables" folder and selecting "New Table". Then i hit F4 to bring up the "Properties" (because I want to associate a Schema to the table, but when the "Properties" section appears, it's blank. I can't figure out a way to get anything to appear there. Any ideas? Thanks!...

What's the difference between "SQL Server Management Studio" and "SQL Server Management Studio Express"? Is there any link to explain this?

.NET 2
ASP.NET
Problem
After using SSMSE on an IIS ASP.NET database created with VWD this error starts.
"Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'. "
If I never use SSMSE, I never have a problem.
I have tried every single suggestion I could find and none of them solve the problem.
Luckily, I am only in the development stages so at least I'm not loosing data.
Development Path
Create VWD Project
Create Database and Tables
Write WebService for DB access
Create C# Project
Connect to WebService
Write project code
Use SSMSE
Attach Database
Do non-admin fuctions on the database(I only opened it to get the auto-generated code for sql statements such as creating Columns so I could do it on the fly)
Detach Database - Check mark the Close Connections
Back to the C# Project
Run the code.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'.
What is SSMSE doing to the database that the web service can no longer log into it?
From VWD you can still connect from the Database Tab.
I finally got so fustrated I just got the SQL Code to create the tables and made a function to create them
after I delete and recreate the database.
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've got a database on a shared server at www.dhosting.com
When I fire up management studio express providing the necessary info and hit connect, I get a nice error saying sql server is not able to accept remote connections by default. I ask dhosting support for a few hours. Chris gets back to me every 10 minutes or so. We then finally notice I'm running Vista. I go to my friend's xp. Fire up SSMSE and provide the exact same info and viola, works perfectly.
The xp and Vista machines both are running avast free edition and window firewall. In Vista, I've tried disabling windows firewall, nothing helps. XP handles it perfectly without any problems.
Any ideas?
hi friends,
I'll be thankful if anyone solve this problem.
When i developed my application, i used sql 2000 as a server side DB.
Now my client want to install MSDE instead of SQL 2000.
so i uninstall SQL2000 and installed MSDE .
AS we all know, MSDE doesn't have GUI. So i installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express - Community Technology Preview (CTP)
(includeing xmlparser,windows installer,.net 2.0).
now i could able to view tables and everything. but i couldn't make the connection. Getting error like "SQL server not found. CMPNAMEMSDERELA"
I used same kind of connection string for SQL 2000. Worked well.here what happened?
Connection String : "Data Source = CMPNAMEMSDERELA;Database =TEST; User id ="xxx; Password =xxxx;"
OS: Windows server 2003.
i used VB.NET to develop the apps. (VS2003). Connecting from Pocket PC.
kindly help me to solve this problem.
(Already i posted this in SQL tools forum. i hope this is the right place to post this question. so posting again.)
Thank u!
Hi all,
I've been running SQL Server 2005 for over three months, and have got the database up to speed. Using SSMSE for an interface.
I've have been trying to get the Intranet to link to the database (ASP), but after a little research i found we needed to change the Authentication from 'Windows Authentication' to a mix of windows auth and sql login. Needing to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
After the restart things started to go pear shaped.
Before the restart we were able to run queries from different clients at the same time (4 workstations). Now we are unable to access anything on the database if a query is running on a seperate client. As in table properties, running a query. As i've said, we were able to do this perfectly fine before the restart.
We also use other programs to generate records for the database. These programs now have difficulty connecting to the database. We've gone through the wizards and as far as we are aware things should be working. We have created extra username/logins for these programs so not one computer/client/program uses the same connection login. However, they are unable to connect even after the wizard says there is no problem connecting to the server.
Is there any *restore to factory/default settings* button? We've even tried reverting to Windows Authentication to try and solve the problem, but it didn't work, we're pretty dependant on the database for day to day operations.
Anyone with an idea as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I am new to the SQL server scene and I am having some trouble connecting to a remote SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have the username, password, IP address, and port necessary to log in but am apparently not plugging them into the correct places. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction or somewhere that I might at least find the answer? I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks a bunch,
Gary
I'm new to SQL Server and I'm using 2005 Express with SSMSE, and having trouble adding a record to a table "manually" by typing in the data.
I find I can change most of the fields by viewing the table in SSMSE and just clicking on the field and editing it then clicking "execute SQL" but for some reason the changes don't "take" when a date field is involved.
Is there a special or proper way to enter a date that I'm not aware of? I'm not having much success figuring out this online help stuff from within SSMSE, I keep getting to help on the help system itself (oops).
TIA!
In order to fix a web application bug the developer told me to to edit a stored procedure on my hosted SQL 2005 server. The hosting company's support say I should be able to do this using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I installed SSMSE, but it seems to want to only want to connect to a local server. Can I use this utility for remote DB management, or is there something else I need instead?
Thanks for your help.

Hello, friends,
here is my problem:
I installed sql server express on a naked Windows xp pro with SP2; of course, framework 2.0 installed, and MS-installer 3.1 installed as well. I also installed ssmse. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed all windows updates via Windows Update in internet.
Now suddenly, when starting ssmse, I get a Warning Textbox with Header "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", then the yellow triangle with the exklamation mark, but NO TEXT AT ALL, and the OK-button. So unfortunately, I do not know what to do. Only thing I found out was, that in all updates, the culprit surely is framework 1.1 update. Before installing this, everything worked fine, afterwards, well, see above.
When I click the ok-button, everything works fine, I can log in into sql server express and do what I have to do.
So my only solution at the moment is just to ignore the warning - not the best way.
Couldn't find a better solution until now.
Could anybody help?
Kind regards from

How can I know my sql server 2005 express service pack? The same goes for SSMSE. I can't find these information in the about box.
What about intelli sense for queries in SSMSE? Is it there yet or should I wait for sql server 2008 for dev. (http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=387069)? I haven't seen the video but does anyone know any details? When it will be available, is it part of the sql server 2008 CTP, will it be available in the Express edition?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Strange question here. When I script a user to be created for a database deployment, I get the following script:
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'newuser')
CREATE USER [newuser] WITHOUT LOGIN WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
Now, this creates the user at the 'DatabaseX' db level, but not at the 'master' db level. The user "newuser" is then not allowed access to do anything in 'DatabaseX', such as execute queries, update tables, etc.
I had to modify our script to be like this:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [newuser]
WITH PASSWORD=N'somepassword',
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[DatabaseX]
GO
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
CREATE USER [newuser] FOR LOGIN [newuser]
GO
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'newuser'
GO
This allows the "newuser" to execute queries, update tables, etc. in 'DatabaseX',
Is there some option in SSMSE that I'm missing when I'm having it generate my user scripts that it's leaving the rest of the script out?
Thanks in advance for your help
I just updated to SQL Express SP2 per this Feedback item:

But I don't see an option to use quoted identifiers. Is it not included in the Express version?
Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I'm trying to connect to a remote server (on shared hosting) with Management Studio Express. I tried using it on Vista and it connects to the server and database perfectly. However, on Vista it gives the following error everytime:
TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------
Cannot connect to sgc.gbdns.net.
------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An error has occurred 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 not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476
------------------------------BUTTONS:
OK------------------------------
However, the host obviously has SQL server to allow remote connections as I'm able to connect from XP.
Both the XP and Vista PCs are running Avast free edition (the same builds) and both are running Windows firewall with management studio allowed through. Can anyone help?
Hi All
I'm new to sql server. I have built simple database apps using MFC CRecordset over MS Access. I'm tying to learn about SQL server by building a simple app using MFC CRecordset in Visual Studio 2005.
The problem I have is within SQL Server Management studio experess. I have a table called OriginalDrawings that looks like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OriginalDrawings](
[DrawingID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[OriginalFileName] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[PartNumber] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[SheetNumber] [int] NULL,
[Revision] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[OriginalDirectory] [varchar](100) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[DrawingCategory] [int] NOT NULL,
[ProductFamily] [int] NOT NULL,
[IsSalvage] [bit] NULL,
[FileSize] [int] NULL,
[DataQueryFlag] [bit] NOT NULL,
[DataQueryCode] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_OriginalDrawings] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[DrawingID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I've loaded it with 40,000 records from my test app. If I open it in SSMSE hit Ctrl-A to select all and then press delete SSMSE appears to hang - it freezes for 10 mins+ (after which I restart my PC. I can delete 1000 records at a time OK, I can delete all quite quickly from my test app by walking through the recordset and deleting each record.
Does anyone know why it appears to hang when I try the delete all?
Thanks
