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?
Hi everyone,
My web-server that I use has SqlServer 2000, which I am very happy with!
However, I am setting up a dedicated server for an upstart E-commerce site.. They can't afford an SQL Server 2000 license yet, so I am going to develop with either MSDE or MySql as the DB Server.
I am much more comfortable in the MSDE enviornment since I develop all my data-access with stored-procedures on my regular server.. would like to do the same with this project.
But, I am really having trouble finding any concrete info if MSDE is ok.. or if MySql is better. I know SqlServer is better, but who wins when MSDE and MySql are put against each other?
Hello,
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.
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 ??
regards,
Manfred
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.

Hi
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.
My email roti@videotron.ca
Thank you

Any Help/Advice TIA

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.
How does MSDE handle data mangement? Does it come with sql analyser or some sort of database manager?
Thanks.
Hi,
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 really appreciate your help.

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

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?
Thanks

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
Is it possible that i have my webapplication on a webserver and my database on another server?The database is MSDE.Thanks for your respond
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
How do you deal with MSDE on a W98 machine since it can not run as a service?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.

Can anyone guide me the best approach to proceed with this.
Very urgent

Hi Yar,
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 ?
Cheers
Suze
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
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey,
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all, im new here and do not have no experience with sql. I am trying to install a tax software that I need to run my little business. When I install it gets to a popint that it asks me for my SQL server usernme and password. I remember doing this last year and I reinstalled MSDE and set up a username and password. I seem to not remember what I used, i tried all that I would have but can not get past that step.
I remember adding some lines in the setup,ini file when I installed it last year. Now I can go ahead and reinstall it again and set up a new one, but will the uninstalling and reinstalling of MSDE affect my previous software from last year? Its the same software but I need this years installed.
I have tried using sa as the username and a blank password, with a password and others that I have read up on, still cant log on. Keep getting worng credential screen.
Is there a way to get that info, i doubt it or else it would not be secure, or can I just simply reinstall MSDE?
Many thanks!!
I have a website with Visual Web Developer. I was looking into buying microsoft sql server developer edition because i really need the import/export feature. However, on a review of the product someone mentioned that the two are not compatible. To install MSDE he had to uninstall VWD and it would not let him re-install VWD, or any other express editions for that matter. Basically if you try to use MSDE you cannot use any express editions. Does anyone have any experience with trying to use MSDE and VWD?
I dont want to shell out 50 bucks for something i'm not going to be able to use.
Thanks everyone!
