ODBC Connection To SQL 2005 Express
Jan 18, 2006
I am attempting to setup a SQL Server 2005 Express database as a backend to an Access MDB, and need to establish an ODBC data source for the backend database. On two different systems (Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 SBS), I get an error that says I cannot connect to the SQL Server. I get a message that says:
Connection failed: SQL State 08001 SQL Server Error: 2
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
That is followed by a Login timeout expired and a suggestion that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
I have shared memory, named pipes and TCP/IP protocols enabled, and the firewall set to allow connections on port 1433. And the Express manager seems to work OK.
I see several posts about issues with ODBC, but none of the suggestions seem to help in this situation. Can anyone suggest something to try? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,
Hope one of you can help me. I've got SQL Server 2005 Express installed on a laptop. I'm trying to create an ODBC connection to it so that I can access the database from a program locally that will be writing to it. I can connect to the SQL instance by listing the server name as DSR-XXXXXXX(ComputerName)SQLEXPRESS
However... when I access that ODBC connection, it doesn't see the database DBProScout (which was created inside SQL Express on this laptop locally), and I cannot access the tables within it. The only tables that I can access are system tables associated with SQL Server Express.
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Thanks!

If I create any other user (test, felix, fido, etc) in my database, that user can login successfully through Management Studio Express except not through an ODBC connection. Thus, this is a very bizarre issue. I have made sure this user has the same roles as SA. My instance is configured to handle SQL Server Authentication and Integrated. This works fine in Studio Express, but not in the ODBC connection.
When using "SA" login, I can connect to Management Studio Express and through an ODBC connection. Seems rudimentary enough, however, if I change the name in the ODBC connection i get
"Connection Failed,
SQLState '28000', SQL
Server Error 18456,
Microsoft SQL Native Client SQL Server Login failed for user 'xyz'"
Any ideas? Do I need a different ODBC Administrator?

I'm trying to import data from an Oracle database into SQL Express. Basically I have a database that's local to my machine (C# front end with a SQL express back end) but I need to tie in some data from an Oracle database. The reason I'm trying to import it instead of just using a connection in C# to hit it is that I need to be able to access the tables while I'm offline so I need a local copy. I couldn't find any references on doing it through stored procedures or anything like that. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

I am running SQL 2005 SP1 on Win 2003 Std x64 SP2. I get an error trying to connect using an ODBC System DSN connection. The ODBC connection gets the following error:
Connection failed:
SQLState:'28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'
The SQL Server logs the following error:
18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.
I have tried this with several SQL accounts. I am able to login to the SQL Manager with the accounts without issue. It is only when trying to connect via ODBC that I get the error. I am currently downloading SQL 2005 SP2 to see if this will help with the issue. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi everyone
I have just installed SQL Server 2005, default settings. I have attempted to add a new ODBC driver using Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN tab - Add - SQL Server - default settings, but it fails.
I did all this for MySQL some months ago, but I must have forgotten something.
Please can someone tell me what to do next.
Thanks in advance.

We have a legacy C++ application which uses ODBC to connect to SQL server. The application is a server process that opens a connection and caches it. Unfortunately on a connection drop, it does not refresh the connection. The standard installation is a 3 machine web/app/sql setup.
It has been working fine since last 4-5 years unless the SQL Server goes down. In that case, I keep seeing "Function sequence error" and "Communication link failure" errors. On one particular client installation on application server, I started getting this exception while SQL Server was up and running (on a different machine). I would see the connections randomly dropping in the activity monitor after 3-4 hrs of inactivity.
I wrote a .NET test app which uses ODBC drivers for SQL Server and makes a connection and then just waits. Out of 5 connections established by this application I saw one connection being dropped as well. Another test app used ADO.NET and it did not drop any connections. I asked the IT to check the network and they say its fine.
The servers are W2k3 SP2 and database is SQL Server 2005. IsAutoClose on all the databases is false. Nothing goes in the logs even after turning on traces using DBCC.
Since the connection drop was very random, I turned off connection pooling on "ODBC driver for SQL Server" on the application server and now it is working fine.
Can someone explain me what could be the reason? Also, is there a way to upgrade or downgrade ODBC drivers on W2K3 machines?
Thanks,
Pranav

Hello All
I am trying to use SQL 2005 express as a datasource for a mailmerge with Word 2000.
I have created a ODBC link successfully. I have enabled all the protocols. When I open the ODBC link, all I see is a ODBC drop down. I cant see or select any database tables?
When I open the dsn I get a dialog caled Header Record Delimiters. I accept the defaults and then I get another Dialog called Mail Merge Recipients with a whole lot of connection info, but no sign of any database tables.
Any Ideas?

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi!
I am trying to establish connection from different domain using ODBC driver with no luck!
I am able to do it within my domain from any place, but it fails from outside. I have two-ways trust established between domains. Users are able to see and use resources both ways.
When I create ODBC it doesn't matter if I use SQL or Windows NT authenctication, I am getting error:
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQLServer Error: 11004
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Connection Open (getbyhostname()() )

I tried to set it with TCP Static Port or Dynamic. No difference.
What should I look into?
Any ideas? Any help?

Hi all,Just wondering if SQL 2005 express edition can be connected remotely. I've set up SQL 2005 Express on a separate machine and am having trouble connecting to it from VWD when creating the websites. Currently I've set up ASP.NET 2.0 Framework on the remote machine with IIS6 using Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. And I am directly editing the website remotely on the server machine from my PC. Could someone please help me in setting up a remote connection from VWD to the SQL Server?I've enabled TCP/IP setting in the SQL Configuration Manager but still getting errors. Could this be an issue with Express Edition? Because if it is I also have a copy of SQL Server 2005 to install. Any direction to resolve in this issue would be greatly appreciated.PS. I'm new to this so pls bear with me. Thanks.

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?

I downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and some sample databases (incl. Adventureworks_data.mdf), but when I try to Add Connection in VS 2005 to point to this db and use the Test Connection button, it gives the error:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
---------------------------
I've tried setting the data source as either "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" or "Microsoft SQL Server", but get the same error.
Any tips on verifying SQL Srv Express is installed correctly? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i am stuck in a strange situation.
I have successfully built my application setup through InstallSheild 12. Which first installs SQL Express user define instance as a pre-requisite and then install my application files. First time when i run my application (without restarting the pc), it connects successfully with user define instance.
But as i restart my PC and try to open my application, it is not connecting with database.
i am using the following command line to install SQL Express 2005 user define instance:
"/qn ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MyInstance SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD="test" AUTOSTART=1"
if i change Remote connection to "using both TCP/IP and named pipes" through "SQL Server Surface Area Configuration" and then restart my pc again. My application connects successfully with Database.
Please guide me where i am getting wrong in building setup. do i have to add something in my command line to not get this error

I'm a newbie to asp.net, but I have been a programmer for years.I have a question that I'm hoping someone can give me a good answerfor, I have been trying to set up a site remotely and I've been usingthe login control that comes with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express,this comes with SQL 2005 Express. The remote site is not a companycomputer, but basically a host that I'm paying for. When I deploy onthis remote site and try to log in I get this error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by thefact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remoteconnections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - ErrorLocating Server/Instance Specified)Using the Database Explorer I noticed that on my laptop the databasefile is sitting on my C: Drive. I also noticed that on the remoteserver I deploy to has all my files on their D: Drive. My question isdo I have to set my SQL 20005 Express file up locally exactly the waythe file will set remotely? In other words... If, on the remoteserver, my files will be on D:(url)asp_data... in order for my logincontrol to be able to use it, it has to be set the same way?Also, does that remote site need to be set up with SQL 2005 express aswell? or will the site be able to work off of that file?And Finally, I also have SQL Server 2000, if I wanted to use this login control (the one that comes with Visual Web Developer 2005), how can Ireference this server instead of SQL 2005 Express? It seems Visual WebDeveloper 2005 wants to use it automatically.Thanks in advance

I am having trouble connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express using ASP.NET written in VB.NET (1.1 Framework) in VS2003. I am trying to programmatically connect to the SQL Server. Since this is a redistributable web application and I don't want to rewrite the connection string every time I distribute a copy, is there any way to automatically get a connection string without prompting the end user for one? I can get the server name and the data base name, but I don't know how to get a username. It returns an error saying SERVERASPNET can't log on. Can anyone help?

I have the following problem, and any help would be appreciated. I am running sql 2005 on my production server, and developing websites on my development server running VWD and Sql Express.
I have been looking for the answer to this problem for about a week. When I upload my site to the production server I get sql errors on all the pages with dynamic content. I have looked into the permissions but nothing is working. Has someone had a similar problem and found a solution?

Hi to all GURUS,

One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)
Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server .

I just recieved an ASP script with SQL mdf file and I just installed the SQL 2005 express edition. I'm running it in mix mode (don't even undarstend what it means). The script works with the connection string pointing to the developers site.
connStr= "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=sql385.mysite.com;User Id=myID;Password=myPass; Initial Catalog=hra;"
I got a table called hra_DATA.mdf and a log which i was able to attach to them from the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express panel.
How can i configure the connection to work with my server.
My servername and instance is MTL-SRV100SRV100

I've just moved a website/database application from windows server 2000 and sql server 2000 to windows server 2003 sp2 and SQL 2005 Express SP2. Database intensive pages now take about 40 seconds where before they took 2-3 seconds.
Things I've tried that haven't helped...
- I changed the ADODB connection string
from: sCnString = "dsn=mydsn;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
to: sCnString = "driver={SQL Native Client};server=myserverSQLEXPRESS;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
- Checked that autoclose is false.
What else can I look at?

I get error message

I know this is an old problem that has been discussed many times but I'm having a problem getting connected to a remote SQL Express server.
I am running SQL Express 2005 on Windows 2003. I am trying to access it from Windows XP PRO. I have read all the articles about enabling remote access, enabling TCP/IP connection etc and have done that. I also created a user in SQL Express to allow for SQL-SA based authentication. I beleive that this my only option since the two systems are not in a Domain, they do not share common user names.
Using SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE), I can see the instance of SQL, but have had no luck in attaching to it. I thought it might be a firewall problem, but I disabled them completely with no help(ZoneAlarm and Windows). The error message(below) seems to indicate that it can't see the specified SQL instance but I've checked the name multple time and I use the browse feature in SSMSE to identify it.
What am I missing? I've tried everything I can think of and I have made this work before so I'm not a total novice at it.
I would appreciate any suggestions...
Thanks

Hello,
I am working on porting a Windows Forms VB.net VS 2003 app with a SQL 2000 backend - to using VS 2005 with SQL Express 2005.
I cannot seem to figure out how to set my connection string to work in the new environment. I have already recreated my database in SQL Express 2005 and ported the VS project to VS 2005.
The old string was (in my app.config file):
<add key="ConnectionString" value="workstation id=MAIN1;packet size=4096;user id=sa;data source=MAIN1;persist security info=True;initial catalog=Dbname;password=####" />
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sam
