MSDE Database Connections
Nov 13, 2003I'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?
How Many Connections Does MSDE Support?
Nov 20, 2003I always thought that MSDE supported up to 5 concurrent connections. However, I was just at Microsoft's Web site and it says that MSDE supports *25* concurrent connections:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/downloads/download.asp
There's a big difference between 5 connections and 25. Did MS just release a new version of MSDE? Is there a catch?
MSDE - How Many Connections Can It Handle
Oct 8, 2005I have an application that I have written that uses a sql server database running under MSDE 2000 on a 2003 server.
The application consists of many exe's that may run simultaneously and each of the exe's has a connection to the database.
Example, if I have 50 concurrent users using the system, that could actually be 150 actual connections to the database.
So, how many concurrent connections can the MSDE handle?
thanks

Need Help - Converting OLEDB Connections To SQL Connections In Asp.net
May 17, 2005Hi there,
Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()
Try
Dim cmd As IDbCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
Dim sql As String = "EDSConfirmUpdate" '"EDSConfirmUpdate""PswdConfirmation"
'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
'Split string into array
Dim Values() As String = ReturnValue.Split(";~".ToCharArray)
'If the return code is CONTINUE, all is well. Otherwise, collect the
'reason why the result failed and let the user know
If Values(0) = "CONTINUE" Then
Return True
Else
results.Result = Values(0)
'Make sure there is a message being returned
If Values.Length > 1 Then
results.Message = Values(2)
End If
Return False
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
If (Not conn Is Nothing AndAlso conn.State = ConnectionState.Open) Then
conn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Function

in the above GetConnection() method i
have commented out the .net dataprovider for oledb and changed it to
.net dataprovider for SQLconnection. this function works fine. But in
the authenticate method above at the line
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
for some reason its throwing the below error.
Run-time exception thrown : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException - @password is not a parameter for procedure EDSConfirmUpdate.
If i comment out the
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
and uncomment the .net oledb provider,
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
then it works fine.
I also have changed the webconfig file as below.
<!--<add
key="Common" value='User ID=**secret**;pwd=**secret**;Data
Source="ESMALLDB2K";Initial Catalog=cj_common;Auto
Translate=True;Persist Security Info=False;Provider="SQLOLEDB.1";'
/>-->
<add key="Common" value='User ID=**secret**;pwd=**secret**;Data Source="ESMALLDB2K";Initial Catalog=cj_common;' />
Please help. Thanks in advance.
MSDE Text Datatype - Unable To Store More Than 900 Characters. (msde + Visual Studio 2003)
Jun 6, 2005Hello,
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.
Thanks a lot.
How Do I Change The Name Of A Computer Running MSDE With Out Reinstalling MSDE
May 27, 2000I 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"
MSDE: Renaming Machine Without Reinstall Of MSDE
Mar 27, 2001We 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 ??

MSDE Worth Using Or Should I Invest In MySQL? (was MSDE)
Mar 9, 2005I'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?
Keep A Few Connections Open All The Time Or Open/close Connections On The Fly?
Jul 20, 2005Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSome Ms SQL Connections
Dec 27, 2007Hi I have some simple questions of for MS SQL. Say I have a database with a table Called Company. In this table I have Employee's with these columns(EmployeeID<PK>, FirstName, LastName) Now I am inserting some data like this.EmployeeID FirstName, LastName------------------------------------------------------- 1 Bob Smith2 Joe Mitter Now Say I have this situation(this will look weird for this example but for another examples and the stuff I am working on it make sense). Say I have a new Employee Called Jessica White. Jessica must be the second record. So I need to insert it between the 1st and 2nd record. Like I said I am very noob at doing this stuff so I am not sure how I would do it. I first was going to my table and then went to modify. This brought up a blank grid with all my column names. I then started to add all my data in. I found out later to make my life easier I need to enter in certain spots null rows in it to help with formating(otherwise I would have had to figure out a way to do make null rows with c# code). I then went back to this grid and I tried to add a record before the data just like you if you used excel. I quickly found out you can not do that. This resulted me having to recreate the table and reput the all the data back in(this told me I was doing something very very wrong). I was then thinking of writing it with a query and I been playing around with it and still running into problems like say I had a table called test with a coloum called id<PK> and testss(yes bad names just playing around though).So if I did something like this:INSERT INTO testVALUES(2)INSERT INTO testVALUES(1)SELECT * FROM testNow I am trying to figure out how to insert something between rows 1 and 2. Would I have to drop the table or delete all the data and then run a saved copy of my script with the added change or what?My second question is what is a good site that has examples of all the commands(I don't want to read a book on it I have had a oracle sql course and well it was just boring and I did not learn too much.). I think the best way for me to learn is just continue doing my site and picking it up on the file and when I got a problem read about it and ask on the forums. Thanks

I installed SQL 7 on new workstation. Throught Control Panel/ODBC connections I can reach the SQL files on bith the PDC and BDC. Howver when I try to use Enterprise Manager, I can connect to the tables on the PDC, but not the BDC. SQL lists both machines in the server group, but only allows me to access tables on PDC! Here is the Event information that I recived on the BDC:
The computer IVR1 tried to connect to the server NTBACKUPSERVER using the trust relationship established by the MASSCOM domain. However, the computer lost the correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was reconfigured.

DTS Connections

Too Many SQL Connections
Jun 11, 2004We have a case where a user is using Excel sheet to connect the database on SQL2K and generally his connection runs in the upper 150 in numbers. He generally gets more than 150 connections open.
I know that it's not a good thing, but is there a way to limit it or even kill it after it reaches max?
What are the disadvantages of opening too many connections?
Out Of Connections... Or Am I?
Sep 7, 2006I'm getting the classic message "The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool" etc when connecting to my SQL Server 2005 Express from a .Net application.
Then I try connecting, simultaneously, from a simple ASP.net thing I wrote just for testing and this works fine. So, then the connection pool can't be full, can it? Or, does each application have its own pool??
Max Connections?

SQL Connections With VB.NET
Jul 23, 2005As most of you are aware, when you close a VB.NET connectrion to a SQLserver, the connection doesn't actually drop right then and there.From my tests, using VB.NET 2003 and SQL2K, the connection doesn'ttimeout and drop off for 6 1/2 minutes. How can one force thisconnection to immediately drop off with code?

Help With Connections
May 5, 2006Hi everybody,
I need a little help...
I created several packages, that after their creation should not be changed again; that's why I created a Package Configuration File in which I set all the Connections I need, so that this is the only file I have to modify.
I set there also the path of the connections for my log file and for my error files (which are both text files), but if I change their paths in the configuration file this change doesn't affect the package, and the path of the log remains the same.
That's an image of one of those packages....
The fact is that I cannot change the ConnectionString of the connection called "log_pkg", but it always remains the same...
How can I resolve this problem??
Thanks everyone
SQL Connections
Mar 14, 2007Hello,
This might not be the right forum, but I'll go ahead and ask anyways -
How does SQL server's per seat/user licensing work ? What I'm hoping to find out is that - if some one has procured a 2 user/seat license - will the number of connections that the two users are allowed to open be limited to 2 ?
Or can the two users open any number (reasonable number) of connections ? I'm asking this in the context of the possibility of having multiple connections service our desktop application. Or am I tied to having a maximum of one connection per client/user by virtue of the licensing restrictions ?
Thanks,
Avinash
