Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to move a database from the Express edition of SQL Server 05 to say an enterprise edition without having to make major updates or changes to the database.
Thanks in advanced.
I have installed the Classifieds Starter Kit and have imported the ClassifiedsDB from Express to SQL Server running on a remote machine.
I have edited the classifiedsceonnection string in the Web.Config to point to the db. However, the
AspNetSqlMembershipProvider is still looking for the LocalSQLProvider, I changed that to poing to the same classifiedsconnectionstring and it errors;
I will post error here:
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
Any suggestion of how to resolve this to look at the SQL Server on remote machine?
Hi All,
We have a file based asp.net app built using Visual Web Developer and Sql Server Express 2005. We have finished development and testing and are now moving to the deployment stage. As a first step, we would like to be able to view it on a test machine using IIS (instead of VWDs built in web server). We have created a virtual directory in IIS and can view our app correctly at http:localhost/ForIIS_test.
However, when we get to a page that tries to access our Sql Sever Express database, we get the following error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsClaudeMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesForIIS_testApp_Data estDatastore.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help appreciated.

I am trying to load data from an Excel spreadsheet file into SQL Server 2005 Express. I understand that DTS is the best tool for doing this but from my research it appears that DTS is not available with the Express edition and the import wizard that does come with Express is not well suited for this type of conversion.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to achieve this objective? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have been programming an application with VC++ 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I have converted an old 16-bit database to 32-bit managed code and SQL server and the application seems to be good. Now I want to deploy the application to another server for testing.
I have installed XP SP2, Windows Installer 3.1, Net framework 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 express to the test server. I have transferred the application with WI 3.1 and the program works well in the test server till the first SQL command. I have made a back up of the database and restored it in the test server. In the test server I can log in the database with Server Management studio and I can read the data there correctly. I have enabled both named pipes and TCP/IP for the database in the test server. With Surface Area Configuration I have enabled Local and Remote Connections Using both TCP/IP and named pipes. I only need Windows authentication at this time.
After all this when I come to the first SQL command in the application on the test server I receive the error message:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 €“ Could not open a connection to SQL Server).
My connection string to the database is:
'connection->ConnectionString = "Persist Security Info=False; Integrated Security =SSPI;"
"Data Source=TESTSERVER; Initial Catalog=TESTDATABASE;";'
When I use "Data Source=DevelopmentServer", the application works well on the development server.
Can't understand what is still wrong. Can you possibly have an answer for me?
My searches have come up blank, so I'm hoping someone else can point me in the right direction.
I'm done some development in SQL Server Express, working on tables and procedures. I've now got to move those tables/procedures into SQL Server and I don't know of an easy way to do this. Are there any tools I can take advantage of that would allow me to get all these objects moved? The only way I can see to do it is to move objects over one-by-one. This would be really time-consuming, and I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I'm positive I'm not the first one to try this, but what should I be searching for? Are there tools/procedures I should be looking for?
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
I built a web application using my VS2005 installation, which includes SQL Server Express.
All works nicely. However, when I tried to move this application to a system with SQL Server Developer, I cannot get it to work at all - data access receives several errors, with the most common being this one:
Cannot open database "xyz.mdf" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'MACHINEASPNET'.
Here is my connection string (with specific names changed, obviously):
Data source=MACHINE;Initial Catalog=xyz.mdf;Integrated Security=SSPI;User=Me;Password=MyPassword
I have given users MACHINEASPNET and MACHINEMe all possible permissions (that I know) within SQL Server.
I have spent days on this, with no solution - help would be most appreciated.
Hi all
I need to move an entire live environment from MS SQL 2000 (because of developing further before uppgrading) to SQL Express but cannot get it to work. Is this possible to do at all?

We are coming out of the dark ages with our app using SQL 7 and, following the excellent advice of the folks here on SQLTeam, installing SQL 2005 Express on our new webserver.
Not being terribly fluent in all things SQL, I was wondering if anybody could provide input on the best practices for getting SQL 2005 Express going on the new server.
So far I've:
- Installed SQL 2005 Express
- Downloaded and "installed" the SSEUtil for CMD line instructions
- Downloaded and installed the graphical management interface (very nice, makes me feel more comfortable - like SQL 7 console!)
- Copied backup files (made using SQL backup maintenance) to the new server
Should I simply create an empty db of the same name on the 2005 server and then restore the 7 data? Or ????
I searched briefly for previous posts of this nature and didn't find too much info so I hope I'm not duplicating effort here...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?
How to move some tables with data & procedures etc from 1 database to another in sql server 2005 express edition.
i did by scripting but i transfer tables and procedures and not data
data is the problem.
tnx
Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.
I trying to get the moving total (juts as moving average). It always sum up the current record plus previous two records as well and grouped by EmpId.For example, attaching a image of excel calculation.

I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

hi, does anyone know how I can make a connection to a 2000 db thru ssis?
View 8 Replies View Related What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.
HI
Q1: Does Sql Server 2005 Express support Web/Internet to other SQL Server 2005 Express Clients or does it have to Synch across the internet to a fully installed setup SQL Server 2005 with IIS?
Q2: Does SQL Server 2005 Express support Direct Replication between other SQL Server 2005 Express clients?

Hi I'm very new to this but what I'm looking to do should'nt be too difficult although I've tried to no avail.
I'm looking to deploy a web site that uses SQL2000 to another server. Im trying to find out how to move the database to that server. Ideally I would like to be able to save it to CD for safety but its not like old access where you save the mdb file. I need to save the whole 'DTS' package, is that what its called? stored procedures, triggers the lot.
I tried the wizards but just got in a mess.
Thanks
I have serveral jobs set up on my current SQL Server, and I am not sure how to move the jobs to my new SQL server. What is the best way to do this?

Hi -
At my work, we have a SQL Server 2K DB on a server. This server is being replaced and the DB needs to be copied from the old server to the new server and I've been asked to perform this task. What I was planning on doing was:
1. Making a copy of the database on the current server
2. Taking the .BAK file created and coping it to the new server via a mapped drive
3. Restoring the database from the .BAK file on the new server
The only concern is moving the .BAK file across the network due to size.
Is this the best method to do this or is there a more preferred way? By doing this, what potential issues could be encountered?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Our SQL server, Report Server and IIS server are all on 1 physical server but that's going to change. We're moving the IIS/web server to a new box but the database server & report server will be on the old box.
Are there available documentation on how to move the Report Server service and IIS configuration of the Report Server?
I am hoping somebody can tell me in detail what is the quickest and fastest way to move SQL 6.5 to a new server. The server it is on is out of resources and space, and I have a new server to move everything over to. I assume I can just install SQL 6.5, copy the DATA database and MSSQL directories over, and rename the new server to the original name and take the old server offline?
Please give me as much detailed directions if you can.
Thank you

Hi Team
We are moving our production SQL server(EE) box to new box. Also, we
need to change the server name with new name. Currently, we have lots of
DTS, Transactional Replication and many jobs running.
What are the precautions / DOs and DONTs to make successful transfer to
the new server? Apart from restoring msdb on the new server, is there
anything we need to concentrate?
We use DTS to transfer logins and objects.
Thanks in Advance
Hi Everbody,
I've got a client that set up their own SQL server. It is
currently installed on NT4 on the system volume. It needs to be moved
to a directory. I was wondering if anybody has ever done
anything like this or can offer some good advice on the
best place to start.
Thanks,
Dan
I'm currently working on a project, with development at my location and production at another. My question is what is the best way to copy database changes, ie adding/removing fields, without having to copy over the existing data. I have been just noting what fields I add and remove, and going to the production server and doing it by hand, but this obviously isnt the fastest way to do it. Essentially when I add a new module to the system on production, I have to manipulate existing database tables. I want to copy the schema of those tables to production, but I dont want to lose any existing data on production. Thanks in advance.

Moving the database to the new machine is one thing, but how do you move the users?
Just adding the same username and pwds as logins is still going to throw you out of the db isn't it?
I've run the Database Publishing Wizard on the target machine, but the t-sql falls over whenever it encounters an unknown user.
Hi all,I have been given the task of moving an sql database from one serverto another. These servers are not on the same network. I know I candetach the database, copy it to a new location, then FTP it to the newserver and re-attach it.My question is, is this the best way to do this? Or is there anotherway? I have access to both servers through Enterprise Manager.TIA
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have both a production SQL 7 server, QA, and Development. From time to time, I want to move just the data from the production server to the other 2 servers without modifing the objects that may have been changed such as stored procedures and rights. Is there a way using the SQL tools provided that we can just move the data. Becuase also what happens is that the rights to the objects change which means my developers no longer have access to the tables for selects in QA since the changes where overwritten by production where they do not have the rights.
Thanks

I have two databases on two different servers (an old hosting solution and a new). I need to get all the data from one server to the other but I have no clue as how to do it with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I can easily make the create table scripts that will allow me to create the tables on the new server but what about all the data. I wondered if there is some way to export and import data from one server to another?
With the old SQL Enterprise Manager I was able to import or export as I saw fit but I can't seem to find anything like this with the express manager.
Anyone has any advise as I would like to avoid coding somekind of export program myself,
Many kind regards

We have a new server (SRV63) and I followed the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156421.aspx to move the report server database from our old server (SRV38). Everything appeared OK, however, when I went to initialize the instance in the Reporting Services Configuration tool, it shows an initialized instance (checkbox is checked) for SRV38 and and uninitialized instance for SRV63 (checkbox is not checked). Please note that I am not trying to create a scale-out deployment. I tried to initialize SRV63 but received the error below.
--------------------
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The report server installation is not initialized. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.InitializeReportServer(String installationId)
------------------
This is the only thing stopping me from shutting down SRV38 and bringing SRV63 into production. Can someone assist me with this issue?
Hi, i was after some advice on moving a SQL Server 2000 database from one server to another.
Usually i would do this by backing up the database on the original server the copying it accross the LAN to the new server and restoring it there. This database is 10Gb in size and copying it accross the LAN will take some time and i would like to minimise downtime if possible. The database is at a customer site where i am not responsible for the network or Hardware.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am setting up a new testing and development machine. My previous machine had VS 2003 and SQL Server 2000 installed on it. The new machine is going to be VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Standard. I have approximately 12 databases on the old machine in SQL 2000 that I want to bring over onto the new machine and convert to 2005. What is the best way to go aobut this. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
