Hi,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install MSDE 2.8 on this OS. When I try to install, I receive the following error: Fatal error setup This setup does not support installing on this operating system
Any ideas?
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott

Downloaded and installed MSDE and just finished creating a
website using the Community Starter Kit. I'm used to working with Access
Databases and this is my first experience with anything SQL. Can someone
provide my with some guidance as to what I need to do to upload the MSDE
Database to a server. Can I just upload the files like an Access Database
or is this more involved. Thanks for you help.
I'm using Visual Studio.Net enviroment, i have SQL desktop Engine installed and everything is working great. I have a problem that whenever i create a new database connections i can NOT delete it. I know that i have to select the node containing the connection and then press the DEL Key, but it seems that the delete option is not valid!
Any Suggestion?

Hi,
I installed MSDE and the sample databases with it. They work fine.
Well I am using the server explorer of visaula studio standard 2002. I can see all the sample databases there and connect to them as well.
1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i created a new database named "testDb" and in a similar fashion i am using windows login thingy.
When i write my connection string in the program now it doesnt work
string connectionStr =@"Server=IMRANNetSDK;" + "Integrated Security=SSPI;" + "Connection Timeout=7;" + "Database=testDB;";
If i replace my Database clause to Northwind it works absolutely fine.
The ERROR it gives is:
Cannot open database requested in login 'testDB'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'IMRANASPNET'.
Why is this happenning? :(.
============================================

How can i configure the MSDE to use the SQL Authentication.
It doesnt allow me to do that?
Thanx Heaps,
Imran
I'm running Windows 2003 .NET server (1
year trial) and I have the latest version of MSDE installed. I have
WebMatriX II installed.
I want to create an MSDE database I can use with a DSN so can use in .ASP or APS.NET.
I've successfully created a test
database (in Webmatrix II) via Windows Authentication security and have
created a DSN via ODBC/Windows Authentication security but don't know
how to access in ASP or ASP.NET web page.
All the SQL databases I use in .ASP have a DSN, User, Password as connection parameters. I want to continue this process.
I ran the command list: setup
SAPWD=**secret** SecurityMode=SQL after setting up MSDE SP3. I log into
the server as "Administrator" with a password.
Question:
1. What am I supposed to use as a ID and
Pass if I want to setup a MSDE database in WebMatrix II using SQL
Server authentication? Everything I try fails. I was never asked to
provide a beginning ID and Pass for SQL(MSDE) Server.
2. What does the connection string look
like to access the database in ASP.NET for Windows Authentication
security? Like this: ConnectionString= "server='localhost';
trusted_connection=true; database='ichapter_test'".
3. What would it look like in .ASP?
Thanks in advance!

HiI am just starting my first .NET project using the web matrix and an MSDE database. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge - all very interesting. I have some data in an Access spreadsheet (6 columns and 365 rows) which in the past I have copied and pasted into an Access database table. How do I get it into a MSDE database table? This process does not need to be automated/programmed as I will only have to do it once a year. Any ideas on the easiest way forward would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Mike
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build a record update form and I'm
going off the "Build Your Own ASP.NET Website" book. I'm not getting

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all
I have MSDE installed on my machine to support off-line use of a web application.
The database (MDF) file in question is stored on an encrypted area of my hard drive, which must be unlocked each time the machine starts up by the user entering a password.
Unfortunately, by this time the SQL Server service has already started, and although it still lists the database along with master, etc, it cannot access it. I believe the error mentions that some files are unavailable.
Stopping and restarting SQL Server using Service Manager fixes this problem. However, this can only be done when logged in as Administrator. I need to find a solution for normal users without Admin privileges.
Is there any other way of making the now-unlocked MDF file available to SQL Server? I thought about using SQLDMO to Refresh databases, but no joy.
This is a real show stopper for my application, which I've spent three years developing! It goes without saying that I'm writing this message with a long face. If anybody has any suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you!
Best wishes

I installed MSDE on a pc with no problems, but now I realise I want to create another instance and set DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 so I can use Enterprise Manager over the network from another PC.
If I create another instance of MSDE on the PC, can I remove / uninstall the first instance?
Is it any big deal if I leave the first instance?
and last but not least...
If I create a new instance will it see the database I created on the first instance?
told you so...
Can anyone recomend some good literature to explain about instances please :D
Hi,
we have about 12 databases in an MSDE server.
We can install the enterprise manager, but cant get the maintenance plans to work. (fields stay empty and setting dont get saved)
I've searched a bit, but couldn't fix it.
No problem, i created a job, with 12 T-SQL commands, and the backups are working perfect.
Now we wanne backup with a history (we take a backup every 4 hours of the day), because now they always get overwritten.
So im trying to change my transactSQL to create dynamic files.
The code i'm using right now :
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
I've tried different things like
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00' + DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) + '.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
but nothing worked.
so basically I wanne be able to create dynamic filenames in the above command.
You got any ideas/solutions.
tnx.

I downloaded and used the ASP.NET Web matrix (2003) and worked on some exercised using my PC for both client and server without going into the internet.
Then I'm ready to work with a database. I tried to download the MSDE database to my PC from a diskett without the internet. The download seems okay, but no icon was created but there was no error messages.
When I try to create a database, there was a connectivity problem. I then turned on the internet connection, still getting the same problem.
I try to uninstall the MSDN in order to re-install with the internet on, but there is no program to uninstall. Installing also not successful.
How do I uninstall something apparently partially installed?
Please help.
Hi,
On Administrator session, I have created an CUSTOMER MSDE database. That's OK.
On user session, I want to access on my database CUSTOMER but I have on error : "Unable to connect to the database". And, in French : "Echec de la connexion de l'utilisateur Machine_Name/User_Name".
What is the error ? I don't know what to do any more.
How to give right to the user ? Have you an idea ?
Thank's.
Patrice A. BONNEFOY.
I have my little MSDE on my computer. I can add and delete stuff from it through Web Matrix. My question is, where exactly is the database stored in Windows?? Also, say I wanted to copy it to a disk so I could show it to someone else, what file(s) would I need to copy?
The reason why I ask is because I have been doing a website as a project and we have to hand in all files on a disk. Getting all the .aspx & .ascx and the .config file is easy, but the database & stored procedures is proving tricky to find.
Thanks
I have detached my database from the server and copied the mdf and ldf files to the new PC do I need to do anything but attach it to the MSDE? What about logins, roles, etc... does all this remain the same or do I need to delete the old and reenter them?
Please provide any help, thank you.
Hello everyone,
I've got a simple yet concerning problem. How do I get the MSDE database I've created off my PC and onto the web server? I've thought of doing a "BACKUP DATABASE dbname TO DISK = 'blah,blah'", then upload it and hope I have permissions to execute a DATABASE RESTORE... Any other methods?
