Hello Everyone,
My host just migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have Enterprise manager 2000, but nothing for 2005. Are there any utilities out there that I can download to connect to 2005?
I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
ok so i have set up SQL server 2005 on a Windows server 2003 machine. I am trying to connect to it via ODBC and/or Visual Studio 2005 on a computer running off the same switch. I have set SQL server to accept remote connections and named pipes as well as had the port unblocked. when i try and connect to it via Vista ODBC wizard or visual studio wizard it says that the server is not there or access is denied.
The server is set up for SQL authentication and i am 100% pos that the username/password i am using is correct. i am at a total loss as to what to do to get my vista machine to talk to that SQL server.
We are using VB.NET 2005 (Winform) and the backend SQL Server Express 2005. We would like to connect the Express (.mdf) database from Remote Machine. What type of connection string we have to use?
We tried the following ConnectionString but we got the error: Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFileName=S:MLJData.mdf;Database=MLJData;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
Also suggest what are all the prerequisites to run sql server express 2005 database in client machine.
We did installed the following tools in client machine:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled Class=20 ErrorCode=-2146232060 LineNumber=0 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)" Number=2 Server="" Source=".Net SqlClient Data Provider" State=0
Hi guys, I have just set up a database in SQL 2005 Express Edition. However, I have a problem accessing it with the application program created in VB 2005 EE. Before using SQL 2005, the application worked perfectly in SQL 2000. Here is my connection string used in SQL 2000:
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=(local); Database='Inventory List'; Integrated Security=yes")
Is this valid in SQL 2005 Express Edition? Or should I change the connection string instead? Thank you very much.
I've spent the last 2+ weeks building a website for a client on my local machine. This morning Updates were installed on my computer because it was rebooted when I came in to work. Now, I cannot connect to my DB that's in my App_Data folder using Windows Authentication. All my other local dev sites are fine!
It still shows my user as being the Owner of the DB, and I can attach it to SqlServer Mgmt Studio Express - with windows authentication - and it shows my windows login as owner.
The error - "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."
Is there any way to connect to Hosting SQL Server using VS 2005. I have only VS 2005 on my computer and Dont have SQL Server.

I Can connect to a sql 2005 express database, from visual basic 6.0, locally with no problem. The connection string looks like: cnWEB.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _ "Persist Security Info=False;" & _ "AttachDBFileName=" & sPath & "viper.mdf;Data Source=.sqlexpress;" where the path is the path to the database file viper.mdf. How would I modify the connection string to remotely connect to a sql 2005 express database running on a web server running 2003 server??? Thanks
I installed the SQL Server 2005 Trial and am now having trouble connecting. When I bring up the ASP.NET Configuration tool and Go to "Provider configuration" "Select a single provider for all site management data" AspNetSqlProvider Test I get the following message. "Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider. " I have already run the aspnet_regsql command-line utility. Can anybody give me some information on how to set this up. I am currently working with the club web site starter kit.
I have a VB.Net Winform application installed at a client’s site using .net 1.0 and sql server 2000. I am in the process of upgrading to them to sql server 2005. The installation of sql server 2005 is on a different machine then the 2000 version. I have installed SQL Server 2005, SP2 and converted the database from SQL Sever 2000. Everything is good at this point. I can even establish a connection through a user’s login.
The Problem is when I try to connect from a client machine using my .net 1.0 application. The client test machine that I am using is a Windows NT Server which may have something to do with the problem. Any way I am getting the following error message.
SSL Security error
From other topics I have read I believe this is something to do with a certificate. The application only needs to connect from within the local network. I have tried connecting using the ODBC Data Sources tool from the client machine I get the following error.
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.81.9001
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SSL Security error
TESTS FAILED!
Should I be using the TCP/IP? Do I need to install anything on the client machines? Do I need to open ports on the firewall? Is there anything else that I am overlooking?
We are migrating an old classic ASP application from a SQL Server 2000 back end to a SQL 2005 back end. The below connection does not work after pointing to the new SQL 2005. It works just fine when pointing to a SQL 2000 db. Did the connection string change for 2005? The UID defined in the connection string has admin rights for the database. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

I have install the sql server management studio express. At the login page, there is one field which is Server name. However, in my studio express that field is empty. I believe that field should have my server name on it but it is empty. Due to the empty field in the server name, I am not able to connect to the server. Did I set up my server wrongly that explains why the server name field is empty???

I have searched the web and this forum relentlessly for past 2 days but I haven't been able to solve the problem.
Here is the description
I work for company X and log on to my computer with my credentials Xme. Now I have the ability to log in into my customers environment using VPN. I can do this by logging in into the customer network by another set of credentials Yme2. (where Y is customers domain and me2 is the id given to me by the customer)
Post this, I am able to ping the customers server.
Now when I use SSMS to connect to sql server, I get the error message"Login failed for user Xme"
Why doesn't SSMS ask me whether I want to use Xme or Yme2 credentials? why doesn't SSMS try with Yme2 credentials? Why does SSMS only use Xme credentials?
I also tried to run SSMS as Yme2 but that also didn't work.
It will be kind if you could let me know how can I specify what credentials should SSMS use.

Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
In my webconfig file I have this. <add name="vau" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|vau.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I understand that there are several different ways to connect and manage information to the database. I think I want to use the behind the codes (.aspx.vb) and on the top of the page I have this. Imports System.Data.
That is where I am stuck. Can you push me in the direction by either explaing to me or post a link that has more information about this.
I have not been able to find any substantive documentation on connecting a DataSource to the database via the IP address of the SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good reference on the topic? I want to be able to access the data on the server while developing and testing locally on my laptop (not on the same network).

I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including: 1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005 2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication 3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB 4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent 5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site 6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still When I test my connection through Enterprise Library it shows test successful!

Hi - I have Web Developer, SQL Express 2005 running locally on my pc, and on my remote server. Everything is fine locally, but when I copy my files over to my server (have setup a virtual dir, and ensured it is running .net2) I get the following message when trying to connect: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:websitessicknessApp_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. I have tried attaching and detaching the database from within SSME on the server - my connection string is: <connectionStrings> <add name="SicknessConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> I've tried it with and without the User Instance = True set Has anyone got an actual fix for this? Thanks, Mark
I had been using Excel to connect to SQL server. This worked merrily for about 6 months then I had reason to reinstall Visual Studio.
Now I've reinstalled that, my connection between Excel ans SQL Server won't work. I thought the ADO code I had put in my VBA macro would be sufficient to connect, but obviously I need to do something else, but what? Please help!
Do I need to create an ODBC connection in Control Panel? Or something else?
The code is unchanged from before and the VBA project does reference the ADO object Library.
Hi Everyone, i would like to know if we can connect from SQL Server 2005 to PostgreSQL at Database level without using any programming language , like we do connect from Oracle to Oracle.?
When I try to attach an ".mdf" to a project by right clicking on the project name the software looks for an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I alter this behavior to have it look to my full copy of SQL Server 2005 which appears to be working correctly?
