Do you believe that SqlServer Express can work absolutely without any administration?
That is to say: my clients are people without any technical knowledge and they usually communicate never with me.
Is SSE the correct database for this status, or should I use a desktop database like VFP or Access?
Is it ok to use SQL Server 2005 CE as an embedded DBMS inside a desktop (Windows XP / w2k3 / Vista) application?
The whitepaper available here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/4/7/A47B7B0E-976D-4F49-B15D-F02ADE638EBE/Compact_Express_Comparison.doc describes this as one of the primary usages of the product. However, I've seen information elsewhere on this forum that seems to imply that SQL Server 2005 CE is not allowed in desktop applications.
Can you please clarify this, and specify any limitations of this usage?
Also, the whitepaper refers to an online redistribution agreement that needs to be signed in order to freely redistribute SQL Server 2005 CE inside a commercial application. Can you please point to this agreement?
Thanks,

i installed the MSDE2000A on server and i tried to connect from client machine through vb Application using connection string. Server anad client are in LAN. but Some systems able to connect and some systems are unable to connect.
i am getting the error:
"SqlServer does not exist or access denied "
for non connected machines.
the server is listening from these machines. but not connecting to MSDE.
can anyone give me solution what may be the cause.
I have a SQLexpress db that i would like to be able to access from both a windows app and web app (both running on the same machine) at the same time. Is this possible. I've been able to connect either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
Thanks
I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, so I'm after a link to a good answer.
I have tens of thousands of milk crates, holding dozens of different types of milk in hundreds of locations. I am used to working with objects but not databases. For this situation however I want the security of SQLServer transactions to track, for example, when a robot moves a crate from one location to another.
I am thinking of using SQLServer as a store. On startup I want to get my ecosystem of objects out of the store. While I am running, I'll just use objects. When I change an object property I want it to securely persist. I don't want to snapshot the whole menagerie of object states, just update the values that changed. Which will sometimes include the addition or deletion of objects. How do I do this? Is there an example somewhere that does this (or approximately this)?
I use VB and have Visual Studio 2005. (Which, by the way, is stunning. I thought all that "you will use less time and code more and better" talk was just hype. But its for real. Amazing product.)

I have a windows application that uses a small MySql as its data source. I would like to convert it to SQL Express. I would like to continue to manage the data from the windows application, but would like to make it available to the web using Visual Web Developement. I can create the new database in VWD, but how do I access the data from my application? I can use either ODBC or ADO.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi;
I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Express database.Here is the connection string used on the web application:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|admindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
Now, i create a Windows application which will run on the server to perform some scheduled tasks, for the Windows application I used this connection string:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:WebSitesmywebsite.comwwwApp_Dataadmindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"The problem is, when the web site is running and using the database, the windows application can't connect to the database and i don't know where i'm doing wrong, if it's the web application connection string or, if it's the windows application connection string.
I hope someone had the same experience and can point me to a direction.
Thank you;Emerson Brito
Good morning,After long hours of search on the subject, I could not find a clear answer to my question.I understand what are ths physical limit fo the express version (1Gb or Ram, 4Gb database, 64 bit WOW).My configuration is as follow, windows webserver 64bit, I have 4 database of 10Mb each for 4 web-application. The maximum concurent connection is a total fo about 8 for all the web-application together.Therefore due to the cost of buying a workgroup of standard license, I was hoping to be able to use the express edition.Please let me know your thought.ThanksArno
View 6 Replies View RelatedCan I develop applications with SQL Server Express that I have more than one user in several computers working with the same database on a server, or I can only develop applications with only one user with a local database with SQL Server Express?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I would like my newly converted to .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to use an Sql Express database instead of MSDE. Previously, development was done on the default SQL Server instance using the full SQL Server 7.0. When deployed, MSDE was used with a named instance. The connection string in the application settings needed to be modified as part of the deployment. Now I've converted to .NET 2.0 and to Sql Server 2005, and/or Sql Express.
What I'd really like to do now is have a project within my solution that, when built, creates the database by running scripts, and deploys that database to the output directory of the executable.
I want this to run as part of a continuous integration solution that, so that every so often, the entire project is checked out, built (code and data), all is copied to a bin/[debug,release] directory, unit tests run, etc.
Has anyone done this successfully? Any pointers?
Thanx,
WNC
When I registered SQL Server Express I received an e-mail back showing all of the resources available to get started. There were 6 Starter Kits available, Teacher, Colection Manager, Amazon Enabled Movie Collection, and three others. When I click on the links to download the Starter Kits, the link comes back as invalid. Can you provide the correct links to use to get the Starter Applications, or can you e-mail me code? Thanks for you attention to this matter.

Hello,
Is it possible to send message from SQL Server Express to Applications using it on different machines ?
For example When an important record is inserted or updated, a message appears on Application user's screen.
If yes then how ?
Thanks

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
Regarding KB935356, is there a "post" service pack 2 update for SQLServer Express?
Thanks.
So I keep up with what MS are doing, it's my job.
I download the beta versions to have a look.
Then I try to install SQL Express an it tells me I have the remains of beta versions.
I look in A&R no signs of the beta version left.
What can I do?
Looks like I'll be Mygrating to MySQL.
Why do I feel like MS is always taking PESH!!!
A whole bunch of exciting new stuff announced around the Visual Studio Express Editions today. VS Express is now free for good, not just 1 year (just like SQL Server!). Also lots of great new content and fun projects to do.
See Dan Fernandez's blog posting at http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2006/04/19/579109.aspx for lots of details.

Hi Folks,
I am unable to install SQL 2005 Express on my XP desktop. I receive following error:
SQL Server 2005 setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio .............
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Visual Studio 2005 Express many times
- I do not see any version of SQL installed on my machine from Add/Remove Program
- I checked the running processes and there is no instance of SQL running
I do not know where this incompatible version of SQL is on my machine. I am getting ready to format my machine but I want to see if someone can help me install 2005 express without having to format my PC.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's at all possible to install SQL Server Express 2005 over a Remote Desktop on a Windows XP machine.
I know there are problems running SQL over Remote Desktop, in that it won't start up a User Instance, but I wasn't sure if we can install over Remote Desktop.
If it's not possible, can anyone point me to an official document stating this fact?
Thanks
Sam
I was able to do this on a Windows XP machine but I am not able to get this to work on a Windows 2003 Server machine.I am connecting to the Windows 2003 Server and MS SQL Express via remote desktop on the lan.This is what worked for me before:EXEC sp_grantlogin '4800X2ASPNET'USE MyDBEXEC sp_grantdbaccess '4800X2ASPNET'EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', '4800X2ASPNET'But for some reason now I am getting this error:Msg 15401, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_grantlogin, Line 49Windows NT user or group '4800X2ASPNET' not found.

weird is the old copy of this query I used had the local pc as the
computer name. If I exchange the computer name from the remote pc name
to the local 2003 Server machine name, the query works fine. Although
that still doesn't let me add connections via Web Developer Express
without error. It doesn't make sense to me anyhows, how could I have
used the local machine's name and not the remote machine's name to get
this to work previously. So confused.Thank you in advance for help.

Hi
I've succesfully installed Visual C# and I've made a couple of example projects. I now want to try and create a database and see if I can make a C# application that talks to it.
So I've installed SQL Server Express. I was hoping I could open it up and get started with creating tables etc. Instead, my Start menu shows:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
>>>Configuration Tools
>>>>>>SQL Server Configuration Manager
>>>>>>SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
>>>>>>SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Where do I go now? Is there some configuring to do before I can start making tables and storing data? Or, have I misunderstood what SQL Server is about?
Thanks

Hi, can someone explain which are the limits o maximum values that SQLServer Express permit?
I dont see anywhere a compare table in which it says, 10 concurrent connections, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me if there is a $ price for a license if SQLserver Express is used on a website? I want to replace Mysql.
Thanks

After installing Visual Studio 2005 everything has installed fine EXCEPT SQLSERVER 2005. I remember having had the same problem some moths ago, but can't remember now how to fix it. I deinstalled VS2005 and installed back again, but the result was the same. SQLSERVER failed to install

Hello,
Fairly new to asp.net developers community. Can't believe I havent took interest in this before!
Please let me know what I need to learn in terms of resources for creating the mentioned functionality on my asp web page.
I already have a sqldatabase and tables created with data. (This database is reading from another system every 15 mins)The problem is not the database, its working fine, I even have a MS Access frontend that I use.
I want to take the query functionality on the web. ( par number look up to display description, price and unit of measure
I need to have a box for the user to enter a number (1-xxx)..Populate 4 columns with xxx rows.In column one enter 'partnbr"...that looks up the "partnbr' in the "partlist_table" and send back "description" "price" "unit of measure"
Once the info remains on the , I can create masterpages to resemble a quote.
Thank you much for your help.
