Re-Index SQL Server Express User Instance?
Dec 29, 2006
Is there a way to re-index a SQL Server Express User Instance? If I try to open the .mdf while the website is still running, I get a message stating that the file is in use. If I shut down the web service and open the .mdf, then restart the website, then the website cannot access the .mdf while I have it open in VStudio (reminds me a lot of Access).
In the past I tried to open a user instance with SQL Server Management Studio, but then it goofed up my user-instance...so I am hesitant to try that again. Is there any way to re-index?
Thanks!

Hi all,
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hello, I'll try to make the description of this multi-problem scenario as short and sweet as possible.
First Problem
The default named instance of "SQLEXPRESS" was somehow installed on my machine and nothing can get rid of it. However, it is somehow invisible to everything else on my system, so I can't use it. How do I get rid of the instance or repair it?
Second problem
I installed another instance of the SQL Server 2005 Express and named it, "SQLEXPRESS02". I attached a database to it and successfully retrieved data from it using an application that used the following connection string:
Data Source=(local)sqlexpress02;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
Next, I tried to use a different application to retrieve data from a copy of the same database located in a different directory and used the same connection string as that shown above. When I do this, I receive an error message similar to the following:
Database 'C:PathToMyOriginalProjectinDebugMyDatabase.mdf' already exists. Choose a different database name.
Cannot attach the file 'C:PathToMyNewProjectinDebugMyDatabase.mdf' as database 'MyDatabase'.
I then tried, out of curiosity, to change the Initial Catalog portion of the connection string to "MyDatabase2" and attempt the data retrieval again. The connection string looked like this:
Data Source=(local)sqlexpress02;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase2;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
Interestingly enough, it worked. However, when I switched back to the original connection string, I got the same error message as before.
What's going on here? I thought that one of the virtues of user instances was that they would attach at run-time, then disconnect when the application was through with them. If that's the case, then why am I getting errors stating that a database of the same name is already attached? Is there a way to detach these databases from a user instance? Can it be done by some value in the connection string?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.

Hi,
I have been working around with SQL Server Express 2005 on VISTA. I created a small C++2008 application which interface with SSE 2005. When running my application, it automatically created a user instance which I would like to get rid of. I just forgot from start to set "User Instance = False" in my connectionstring. (oups...)
I'm aware, from readings I did, that a couple of tables as well as log files, etc. are created under directory "utilisateurs...AppDataLocalMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS". SQLEXPRESS is the instance name chosen during install of SSE2005.
Also using following SQL Statement:
select owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name, heart_beat
from sys.dm_os_child_instances
I got following result:
owning_principal_name: PC-DE-STEPHANEStéphane
instance_pipe_name: \.pipe6172F4E8-622E-4A sqlquery
heart_beat: dead (at this moment...)
==> How can I make a good cleanup of all this as well as get rid of the user instance itself?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!
Jeff

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.

No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€œFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Hello:
I have a requirement to connect to a user instance of sql express from a visual basic 6.0 project. I'm having trouble with my connection string.
I'm able to connect with my connection string to sql express:
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider= SQLOLEDB; Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=30"
and the get user instance name:
'Get the user instance name
strSQL = "SELECT owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name From sys.dm_os_child_instances"
but don't know how to query the instance name. Currently, I am returning the user instance name in a function. My questions are:
1. Is there any parameter for the user instance name in the connection string?
2. To attach and detach, what providers are available?
3. Using the Provider=SQLNCLI, is the AttachDBFileName parameter optional if I supply the database?
4. What is best recommended practice for querying a user instance from application code in vb6?
5. Are there any articles that specifically describe how to query a user instance if the dbfilename path is dynamic?
Sorry if my questions are not clear. I'm new to microsoft programming (coming from Lotus/Domino)
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi,
As per my understanding, if the user instance property is set to true for an express database then it is not multiuser/shared. A copy of the database is made for each user so he works on his private data. On the other hand, if user instance property is set to false then the express database is multiuser/shared. Thus different users will connect to the same instance of the database and changes by one user will be seen by the other users.
Now, if we use an express database with asp.net and our application is installed on IIS then it is mandatory for the express database to have the user instance property set to true. But we see that in this case when different users visit our website, the data they enter goes into the same common database, ie. all the users share the same common database, even though user instance is true for the express database.
Please shed some light to explain the correct functionality of the user instance property as related to the express database.
Regards, Sandy

(have reposted this here from Setup group, since no answers there)
Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble connecting to a user instance I've created. User instances have been enabled, Named pipes are also enabled. Running on XP SP2 with SQL2K5 SP2. I also have a standard SQL2005 instance running on this development machine.
When using SqlClient in a .Net2.0 application, my connection string to create the user instance looks like:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;integrated security=true;attachdbfilename=c: emp3500.mdf;user instance=true"
This connection succeeds and I see the new service being started etc. I also see the log file being created in my Application Data area. The log file all looks normal except for these lines at the very top of the report.

Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
If i try to connect via SSMS using the pipe name above and everything else defaulted, i get the following error:
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: 25 - Connection string is not valid) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Both errors are pretty similar. I am running this locally, so I suspect the 'remote connection' error text is a red herring. The connection string is pretty minimal so I cant see why the connection string is invalid.
Heres another wierd thing. It used to consistently work. It now consistently fails. I have also tried creating a VM with SQLX. Now that works initially but once it fails, it seems to fail consistently. Reboots of the VM dont seem to fix it. That sort of leads me to believe that I've done something to my server (ie a setting somewhere).
Any help getting this connection issue sorted would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"
Just don't understand what permissions the db should have, does it need to match the SQL Express owner...
any help would be most appreciated
Thanks
Chris

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

I was wondering whether anybody could confirm an assumption for me. The information on SQL Server Express talks a lot about its special "User Instance" mode and how it can help to simplify deployment because you can go back to just copying in a file to set up your database, and how this is great for dealing with limited user security environments. However, I have some questions surrounding whether or not this is really as great as it's cracked up to be -- I saw somewhere, for example, that made it sound like you have to be coding your application in .NET in order to use it; and it sounded like it pretty much gives the end user full access to their personal SQL Server instance, which I might not necessarily want from an application perspective. The assumption that I wanted to confirm was this€¦ Let's say that you're NOT using the "User Instance" mode. What do you then need to do in order to create the initial shell of your application database at deployment time? I was assuming that you end up having to have some sort of SQL script that does the database creation instead (including, I assume, assigning proper rights to tables to BUILTINUsers as necessary). Is that correct?

I use VS2005 & sql2005express to create a website, but it cannot to display data.
When I run it, I got such errors:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
My web.config file:
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf"/>
When I change the User Instance=True to False, it works, but MSDN says it is not safe.
I searched the past threads, which writes "delete the folder C:Documents and SettingsyyLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftSqlserver Data, it will work".
I try, but failed. What should I do??

I have seen many posts on the subject, but I haven't seen a clear answer to the following:
1. Start a new Web Project (VS 2005 Pro). The solution is built.
2. Select App_Data, right click and select Add New Item.
3. In the dialog box, select SQL Database and give it a name.
4. When you select Add, the message "Failed to Generate User Instance of SQL Server ... " appears.
5. I am running SQL Express. What is the correct fix to get this simple process to work?
thanks,
Flavelle

Hello all,
I have a VB.NET 2005 windows based application that uses the Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block and SQL Server Express and I am having an issue getting the application to install and run from a Setup Package.
I have included the Prerequisites of SQL Server Express, .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Report Viewer in my setup project and when I run setup.exe that was created by my Setup Project, it appears everything is installed correctly on the client pc. However, when I go to run the application if get the following error:
10/05 08:44:35 ERROR DHGUI.DHConfiguration DHConfiguration_FormClosed

I ran the SSEUTIL program with the -l option and it returns the message of:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Can anyone please tell me what it is that I'm doing wrong and how I can get this to work? I'm up against a deadline and this is killing me!
Thanks,
Brent

I have SQL Server 2005 SP1 Dev Edition installed on my laptop along with Visual Web Developer 2005. I installed SQL Server Express 2005 SP1. I then created a new web site using the Club Web Site template.
I did the recommended initial build to get the Membership database installed and got an error page (http://localhost:1667/WebSitesVB2/):
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
There were 4 recomme4ndations from the error page. I have met three of them: (1) the AppDaa folder that was created when I used the Club Web Site template; (2) my machine's ASPNET user set up with full control permissions on the APP Data Folder; (3) SQL Server Express successfully installed on my machine.
The 4th recommendation from the error page is "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. ". I have no idea of how to do this or how/where to find the elusive the "readme" file.
I am at a loss as to what to do next. I have spent the day going over forums on this error and none seem to provide consistent or relevant answers.

ProblemWhen Remote Desktop to my main office machine, and when trying toconnect to SQL Express, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with thefollowing error:Error: 'Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to afailure in starting the process for the user instance. The connectionwill be closed.'What is the solution?Solutions: ( pick any of the 3)1. Obtain and apply the patch http://support.microsoft.com/?id=8966132. Wait for the next Windows Service pack3.Of course if you can not get the patch, you can always do this (Note:You must have WinVnc server running in your remote computer)1. In the remote desktop session, reboot your computer.Click Start->Windows Security->Shutdown->Restart.Wait for some time to get machine up.2. Use your vncviewer to login to your remote computer. You can chooseto do all work via VNC or go to next step.3. Use remote desktop to login (this automatically closes the winvncsession).There you go, You did not create a remote session, but reused yourlocal session.

Okay, I've read massive topics on ClickOnce, and embedded database applications, etc, etc.
I need a handful of good suggestions how I can create a deployment package, to get my sql express database onto a SQL Express server.
The database will need to be multi-user, because I am also developing a WinForms application to connect to the SQL Express database.
I'm thinking I need to use some automated scripting features, to generate scripts for the database once I am done (unless you have a better suggestion).
After that, I need to know what to do with those scripts, and how can I create a setup / deployment packages to run those scripts against a SQL Express server.
The other alterntative obviously is to copy my sql express database, and run an attach command. This will work the first time, only because this will have been the first deployment of this database.
Please keep in mind when answering this question, that I will not be embedding the database, and as far as I understand ClickOnce is a feature for use with embedded databases or user instance databases (not sure).

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server Express to connect to the network using VPN on a local machine. I have done the following..
a.) Enabled the remote connections for the Express Instance and rebooted the machine.
b.) Connected to the machine with Express Edition locally and can also connect other SQL Server instances from it to verify connectivity.
c.) Yes, SQL Browser Service is running.
d.) Firewall is not turned on, so I do not have to configure any exceptions.
Now here is the big problem: When I browse for SQL Servers on the network the machine does not show up on the list, i.e "macinenameSQLExpress". I had uninstalled and reinstalled the Express edition and rebooted the machine several times with no luck on the SQL Express Instance showing up on the browser list. I even changed the default instance name to "machinenameMACHINE1" on one of the reinstalls. However, I can connect to other SQL Instances from it. But, I cannot connect to it from other machines since its not registered on the network. I have been working on this for the past few days by looking for a solution via this and other forumns. Is there some setting somewhere that I am missing that prevents this instance from not showing up on the browser list. This issue with SQL Express Edition is baffling as well as frustrating and any ideas that can resolve this issue is very much appreciated.

I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm new to SQL Server and just installed VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. My question is, is there any naming rules for an instance? When I open Express Manager it is asking me to enter an Instance name. Thanks for any suggestions or help,
