I also tried the MSDE SP3 version - got the same results.
Hi, i tried to install MSDE 2000A sp3, but the installation wasn't seccessful.Can somebody help me and write me what I have to do to install MSDE 2000A sp3 with SQL authentification (and how can I add some user, database and table)?I'm using Win XP sp2, .NET Framework 1.1 and VS .NET 2003 (but I haven't got SQL Enterprise manager)Thank's
I tried to install the MSDE 2000A to have a copy of the SQL Server northwind datbase on my machine. When I was installing it I got an error that said the following......
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Set up will now exit"
I dowloaded the MSDE 2000A and got an error when I was trying to install it. The error was as follows.......
" A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use a SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Set up will now exit."
I have the following scenario. An application using SQL Server 2000 SP3 on the server side and clients using MSDE 2000A (SP3a) on the client machine. Since the client is offline quite often merge replication is used to keep the clients in sync.
Now we try to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP1. The publisher and distributor upgrade (on the same box) worked fine and all clients could still synchronize. Fine :-)
Now we try to upgrade the clients to SQL Express SP1. Now the problems start :-(
1) After the upgrade the entry within the Synchronization Manager is gone (we can overcome this by using sp_MSregistersubscription or by manually disable and enable Synchronization manager on the subscription properties)
2) Initial Synchronization (takes a long time but) works fine, if I apply changes to the subscriber or force a reinitialize all following synchronization will fail. With the following messages:
Error messages: The merge process could not clean up the subscription to 'tstvmw23':'TestBase:'TestBase'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200965) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147200965 New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3989) Get help: http://help/3989
Remark the test system I use is a nearly empty db (only with full schema and a few lookup tables) with 15MB. The same error occures if I create a new database an subscribe to the same publication.
Please help otherwise I'm forced to step back to MSDE.
Hi all I am trying to install SQL server 2000a I install per the instructions but when I go to plesk to create a SQL database I get the following error message: Unable to create database: Unable to create database-dependent object:Database Microsoft SQL server is not running. I am running a Windows 2003 duel processor server. I would also like to know if I can upgrade to service pack 3a from 2000a or do I need to install service pack 2 first. Also should I install service pack 4? Thanks Cruiser859
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I looking for some guidance here. I have database which has exceeded the 2 gig limit. I deleted some old tables in an attempt to acquire some space. This worked out. However when I look at the size of my *.mdf it still appears in excess of the 2 gigs . I know this isn't true since I deleted 500 megs of stuff. How do i reclaim the space (get the file size to report correctly) or do I need to even worry about it.
I created an instance which is NETSDK I created a password I don't know why my server choose the name FRANK i was expecting local. I have to use FRANKNETSDK or else i can't get my server to Start.

For quite some time nowI have been trying to give user rights to my MSDE , needless to say the fruits of my labor have turned up very little success.
So far i have tried using the osql commands to grant user access to my database. I have run the stored procedures(sp_grantlogin ,sp_grantdbaccess ) but to little avail!
So now i have taken a new approach i installed the Enterprise Manager. I have just a minor problem with this new strategy , i don't know how to use it!!
This is what i have prensently installed on my system: Visual studio.Net ,Microsoft SQL(MSDE) and finally the Enterprise Manager.
My Servername is FRANK. I have created an instance which is NetSDK (FRANKNETSDK) My SAPWD is Kildare I have Mixed Mode
Can anyone please tell me how i can use the Enterprise Manager to grant access to MSDE. I am sure you have all realized from all these insipid post that i have no experience. So please be explicit in all your details.
Having Problem connecting to Database with WebMatrix
When I try to ADD Database in WebMatrix through Sql Connection & enter USERNAME & PASSWORD it fails. Is there a way to create New USERNAME & PASSWORD? Perhaps through the Command Line Prompt?
I have never done anything with databases, so I am a newbie. My goal is to install an ASP.NET forum, but I need MSDE installed. I downloaded MSDE from the Microsoft website. When I run the setup.exe file, I get an error. It says:
A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.
I looked at the documentation but could not find anything usefull, what do I have to do to install it. Thanks in advance for responses.
I am newbie in ASP.NET and MSDE arena. I understand that MSDE has no GUI and I need to have MSDE tools to work with it. I have already installed ASP.NET 1.1 and Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 and MSDE in my Windown Professional 2000 PC and I have run and tested for .aspx and its working perfectly. But I want to use MSDE to create some database driven web applications.
Could you please help me how I can do that? BTW, I installed Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and its giving me SQLWebAdminStart.exe Application error and asking for debugging while opening the program. I am stranded what to do now?
I just installed MSDE off of disk that came with teach yourself asp.net in 24 hours. To get the program started you must go to run and type cmd and wait for the C prompt. I get this far, but I can't get a C prompt. It always comes up C:sql2ksp3> How do I get a C prompt from here. I know it must be something easy that I am just overlooking or forgot. Thanks Del Dobbs

Hi all, I have a web application that uses SQL Server. I have 6 clients that all use the same SQL Server database structure. I know have a new client who is using MSDE as there Database. The Database should have the same table structures as the SQL ones.
So my questions are this: 1. I have a backup of the new clients data. How do I attach it to SQL Server? 2. Does MSDE have stored procedures? 3. Can I write stored procedures in a SQL Database, that reference tables in an MSDE database. 4. Can someone point me in a direction, that can walk me through this?
Hi, Well i want to ask, Is this true that We can use the MSDE on commercial basis for a limited usagage with out paying. The limited usage means that may be upto 20 - 25 concurent users can be use the Engine at a time. thx for the comments
I installed MSDE 2000 in my system. There is no icon & gui screen. How can i create/alter database using MSDE without using any programming language? from where can i get stored data in msde? How can i take backup for this data?
I want to connect to the MSDE database and create database and tables etc.., I am successful in creating the database and tabels etc.., as shown below: string ConnString; ConnString = "data source=(local);" + "database=;integrated security=sspi"; SqlConnection SqlConn = new SqlConnection(ConnString);SqlConn.Open(); SqlCommand SqlCmd = new SqlCommand("Create DATABASE dbase1", SqlConn);SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();SqlConn.Close(); but Instead of connecting to the MSDE without giving any database name,canI create the instance of MSDE on the fly and connect to it. Like creating a MSDE OBject to start the MSDE and then connect to it using Windows NT authentication
Hi, I have developed a site for a client using asp and sql server, and now want to roll this out to the client using MSDE, since the only application using the database will be the website, so they really don't need full sql server. I've seen plenty of articles telling me how this is possible, but I can't find anything telling me how to start. The webserver will be on the client site, and controlled by myself as this is an intranet application. Do I install MSDE on the client site from my Microsoft CD's or do I install particular files, and that's just for starters.If anyone has done something similar I would really appreciate their advice.

All our customers have sybase as thier backend and VB as thier front end and now we want to migrate to SQL server. So I have to send a CD to our customers with the free SQL version(MSDE) and everything has to be automated.My CD shud be able to install MSDE in the clients machine and create the schema and transfer the data from thier db to our .mdf(MSDE DB-Free SQL server version) db. Can the above be achecived thru installshield.I have install shield xpress 2.1. I even have the .SQL script files to create the schema. Can anyone guide me the best approach to proceed with this. Very urgent Thanks
This might seem like a silly question but please bare with a newbie. I've discovered a few MSDE installations around the place, & most are on a RTM version. I know no -one else cares about them as they came with small apps. But I would like someone to confirm or deny that they are just as vunerable as any other SQL installation i.e. std edition & should apply the Service Packs ?
When setting up the MSDE should you be able to connect to it ... from another machine using Sql client tools via enterprise manager....like you would connecting to machines that have sql standard edition
I have produced an asp.net application, and it's time for me to look to installing it at my clients site.
The application uses MS SQL. I have a redistribution license for MSDE 2000. So I have spent all morning ( :-( ) trying to work out how I can distribute it.
I have worked out how to install MSDE, however I can't find any information on:
1. How to connect to the MSDE instance (both for admin and through the asp.net pages). 2. What tools I can use to add/import a database to the MSDE instance. 3. If there is a way to create a distribution package other than using Visual Studio (which I don't have)
I have named the instance WENS, I set the password to XXXXX (not that)
I have worked out how to start the service by opening the service manager. However there are no admin tools provided, and when I use the MS SQL admin tools I can't connect, it doesn't accept the user account sa, XXXXX
So, basically, any help you can give me would be fantastic, I'm at a loose end, lol.
Thanks a lot for your help.
(Tools I have at my disposal, web matrix, MS SQL Enterprise Edition, MSDE, and I'll download anything that will help (and is legal to use) )
I have scoured the user groups for an answer to this UDF-MSDE questionand see a lot of conflicting info.I am using MSDE Version 7.00.623 to develop an MS Access2K applicationthat is being used with a SQL Server 2000 backend.I need to create some User Defined Functions.Can it be done using MSDE?Can it be done using the MSDE version I have (there doesn't appear tobe an obvious way?Can I create a UDF using by running a stored procedure?Thanks.lq
