Removing SQL Express Instances
Sep 4, 2007
Using SQL Express, UNDER COMPUTER management, SQL Server Configuraqtion Manager, SQL Server 2005 Network configuration Ihave the following listed instances
CSOLUTION - not listed under services
MSSQLSERVER - Disabled
SQLEXPRESS - Diaabled
SQLTEST - Disabled
SQLEXPRESSDATA - used by VB05 program
Questions
a) how do I delete all the instancces I do not use. In MSDE, each instance could be removed via the add/remove programs, but I don't see how to remove it under express
b) since SQLEXPRESS is the default for an SQL Express installation, I would like for the VBB05 program to use that instance; how do I do that?
Any help would be appreciated.

I installed SQL Server Express trail for 3 times each with new instance. Now I came to know that I need to have a default instance. I un-installed the SQL Server Express and tried to install it again. It still says I have installed instances and if I select default instance the option buttons are un-checked and disabled. I tried to delete all the folders related to the SQL Server installationa dn tried but still I see the same thing. Please help me in istalling the default instance.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I want to do SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express and I have read the following articles and books:
(i) Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio in http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-insta...
(ii) Managing SQL Server Express with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express Edition in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sql/2005/mgsqlexpwssmse.mspx
(iii) Chapter 16 - Going Beyand Transact-SQL: Using the SQL Common Language Rutime (SQLCLR) in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for Dummies
(iv) Chapter 21 - Working with the Common Language Runtime in Microsft SQL Server 2005 Programming for Dummies
(v) Chapter 4 - Introduction to Common Language Runtime (CLR) Integration in Programming SQL Server 2005 by Bill Hamilton.
I want to create an SQLCLR project "HelloWorld" by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. But I am still not sure how to get it started, because I do not understand the following things:
(1) Pipe Name for a User Instance, (2) Enabling (or Disabling) the CLR by using Transact-SQL, (3) Creating a Transact-SQL script, (4) Creating an Assembly, (5) Creating a backup device, etc. I need to see some simple examples of SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. Please help and tell me where in the websites I can find them.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I have a general question relating to SQL Express User Instances. Our application connects to a local SQL Express database through the default SQLEXPRESS user instance. My question is simply whether a user may experience a problem in connecting to our application's database should another application already be connected through the same default user instance (SQLEXPRESS)? The two applications are therefore running similtaneously. Also, are there any limit to how many applications could use the same service similtaneously?

I read on MSDN how to manually uninstall the instance of SQL server 2005 express, however i am not sure that it will remove the service. The reason i need to do this is that an application i have installed SQL Server 2005, and also QPulse5 SQL Server. I have two instances and it is giving me compile issues which i believe is related to having both services. I did add/remove programs and reinstalled just SQL Server 2005 and recieved error message saying that the service failed to start. The whole problem of this occured when we ran DCPromo with SQL installed. After we did we relized you could not promote with SQL Server. I understand that it is not recommended running SQL Server on a DC, however we did not have a choice. I am hoping someone here may have a solution for this. If there is any other information you need just let me know. Thanks

Using Windows XP SQL Express 2005...
In Windows Installer Clean Up, it shows two instances:
MSSMLBIZ (used by Outlook Enterprice 07 with BCM)
Control, Panel, Add Remove, Remove SQL Express 2005, shows:
CSOLUTION (which is disabled)
MSSMLBIZ (enabled for BCM 07)
SQLEXPRESS (which is disabled)
The disabled instances will not start due to various error messages.
Under Computer, Manager, Services, more instances are listsed, which also will not start:
SQLEXPRESSDATA for example (which is disabled)
I would like to remove CSOLUTION since it is not used; it will not remove from control panel or manually via http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/909967 . You get various error messages, such as
Another application has exclusive access to the file c:program files...errorlog. Please shut down all other applications, then try again.
Even after a reboot, I still get this error.
I want to install and use instance SQLExpress, and I cannot remove it, but it will not start, and trying to reinstall it fails.
It was simple under MSDE 2000, no2 it seems to be impossible.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Honestly, I would like to uninstall SQL Express 2005 completely (except the BCM instant), and start over, but canot find a way to do this. SQL Express is a mess, I have spent days trying to resolve this, and am still where I started.
Thanks, bob

Hi,
I've read the readme for the Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/1/bd1e0745-0e65-43a5-ac6a-f6173f58d80e/ReadmeSQL2005SP1.htm
But I'm not quite clear on what will happen if you currently have SQL Server Express 2005 installed with User Instances, and then you launch the installer for SP1.
Will it also update the User Instance? If so, how could I tell? When I go to the registry for the User Instance it has the older version value ie.
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server[instance name]MSSQLServerCurrentVersion = 9.00.1399.06
Shouldn't it be saying 9.00.2047.00?
Does this mean that I have to uninstall the User Instance before installing SP1?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Just wondering. On some workstations and a couple of servers we
have apps each running an instance of MSDE so these machines each have
anywhere between 2 - 5 instances of MSDE each.
Would it be benificial from a resources point of view (not to mention a
patching one) if we set up one instance of Express to replace the
multiple MSDE ones?
Anyone got any thoughts?

I'm trying to upgrade my management studio to the full version, I uninstalled Express edition and started the install for the full version, but I get an error stating "you cannot install this component because it is already installed". I had a word with one of the guys in the office and he said the only way he's ever been able to get round this is by flattening the entire PC and starting again. Obviously I want to avoid that!

I installed sql server express 1st time successfully. But later I found that there's no solution explorer(there's no item under file-new called Project). To reinstall, I removed all the components completely,including engine,msee,bol,sampledb. But could not install the engine again. I've downloaded the installation files several times and tried both sqlexpr32.exe and sqlexpr_adv.exe. The same error log:

My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.

This is probably easy for some who have done it, but I have an installed Instance of SQL Server 2008 Express or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express I'll call Instance CCC and need to remove it. Â I have two other Express instances I'll call Instance AAA and Instance BBB. Â I want to uninstall Instance CCC without affecting the other two instances or the software that uses them. Â Instance CCC should have been installed as a SQL Server 2012 Express instance, so I need to remove the 2008 Instance of CCC and reinstall it as 2012. Â In all cases, I'm talking about SQL Server Express. Â Full SQL Server is not installed. Â
The Instances are all installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server. Â Â
I have read that I can do this through Control Panel  >  Programs and Features, but that I can corrupt or mess up the other instances (AAA and BBB) if I don't do it right.  I'm uneasy about this, not having done it before, and do not want to affect the users of the AAA and BBB instances! Â

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.

We have 10+ MSDE 2000 installations on the same network. Each install has a named instance and the
machines connect to eachother via VB application. We have a couple SQL 2000 Standard boxes and a SQL 2005
box all running on the same network with no issues. The problem we have recently run into is with a SQL
Express box. When the box is on the network OSQL stops finding the MSDE 2000 named instances on the
network and only the SQL Express named instance appears in the list. The second the SQL Express box is removed
from the network the named instances are visible. I monitored the UDP traffic and suspect there is an issue with the response from SQL Express to OSQL. Can't find any issues for this problem only report I found is if MSDE and Express are on the same machine.
SQL Express Response

I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute:
C:SSEUtil>SSEUtil -l
I got the following:
1. master
2. tempdb
3. model1
4. msdb
5. 56713D4D965AE4455_TSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSMYFIRSTAPPSSE-VBEXPRESS-WINDOWSAPPLICATION1BINDEBUGMYDB1.MDF

8. C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT SQL SERVERMSSQL.1MSSQLDATANORTHWIND.MDF
9. C:ADVENTUREWORKSLTADVENTUREWORKSLT_DATA.MDF
I created some VBE projects and used some examples from some tutorial books and websites in the past. But, I thought that user instance timeout is 60 minutes and user instances should be gone after 60 minutes. Why do I have the above-mentioned user instances remained in SSEUtil now? Please explain this thing for me.
Thanks,

Hi! I am trying to remove an "*" I used to transfer a file from Excel to SQL. I put the "*" in the NULL values so that I would not get an error. Now that I have the file in SQL, I need to remove the :*" from some columns in my table. How can I select all of those in a column and delete them without deleting each individual one. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I have a search box to look up using a number as an identifier. Currently my query is where x = @enteredNumber, but some place where a user might get the number it is padded with zeros. We can have them just see the number and retype it.
EG: 000000123 would be entered as 123.
But, I would like to let them copy and paste, but then strip the zeros (left padding only).
EG:
@num = stripPadding(@enteredNumber)
IE:
@num = stripPadding(000000123)
@num = 123
