I have a system running on SQL Sever and i am trying to create a second file on a diffrent computer so that I can teach people how to use sql sever (express) without risking losing any data that I have on my proper database.
I have created a backup of my database which is in a dmp file and I would like to import this into SQL Server Management Studio Express so that I can make changes to the databse without affecting the one that is running on my website.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
i'm making a web page for a clinic.it needs to be able to search for patients by first name, surname, date of birth and patient number.i'm using visual web developer and i have my database, my data source and GridView grid.i want 4 text boxes for my first name, surname etc. when u click enter on any of them i want to retrieve all their data and display it in the gridview.at the moment i have one text box on the web page and through the "Configure data source" option on the grid view i can retrieve the specified data but for only this one item, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE ([DOB] = @DOB). if i add another text box to my web page, and don't do anything to it, the query wont run. if i add and "AND" statement to the query, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE (([DOB] = @DOB) AND ([FirstName] = @FirstName)), again it won'r run or return and data. any ideas on what i can do or where i'm going wrong. thanks

Im creating a sample database for purposes of keeping track of employee's jobs + billing codes for that job. currently they just use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of billing.
Question 1:
What would be the easiest way for the manager to enter billing codes? Billing codes are numbers like 956, 958, 805 and they co-relate to prices for each billing code.
1. I want the manager to enter the billing code and have the sql database find out how much that code is and add them up daily. This would prevent the manager from having to input prices and billing codes, and extra step.
Any links on the above topic would be helpful. I'm not looking for anyone to spoon feed me code just point me in the right direction. Im relatively new to sql having only a class of sql @ ITT.
Heres the way I have the db tables laid out currently.

I am using the SQLEXPRESS database, and connect from to locations:
Windows Service ASP.NET web application.
whenever I start the windows service I get the error: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. so I am going to visual studio and close the connection. then I close the web browser, and the windows service succeed connect to database. but then, after windows service is connected, I open the web browser application and fails to login because the login system using the same database of windows service, and since the connection is being used by windows service, login is impossible.
Do you know how I can allow 2 connections at the same time for the same database? what are the risks to do that? and how do I handle this risks. thanks alot
Hi, I have a SQL Server 2005 Express database dbase.mdf which I cannot access. It works fine in VWD and the development server using the following connection string: String connectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\dbase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"But when the site is not on the development server but on IIS, I get a SqlException saying "User does not have permission to perform this action." when I execute the connection.Open() command. I find it extremely frustrating that something which works in the development server fails on the real server. Can anyone help me with this? Do I have to change my connection string, or perhaps set some permissions...I have already given the IUSR_MACHINENAME account and the ASPNET account full access to dbase.mdf. Surely this must be an issue that lots of people deal with... How do other people manage to log to access databases? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,P1000

I am trying to remove files from my MS SQL database but I cannot find them. I do not know anything about databases. Someone had created a program for me through which I could upload files to MS SQL database but I need to delete some of the old files to free up some database space. I can access MS SQL database through the control panel of my host but I cannot seem to find the files I have been uploading.
If someone could give me step-by-step information on how to view the files within MS SQL database and how to remove them, it would be greatly appreciated.
I need to ask a realy dumb question. I have a database whereby both the devices for the tran log & the database are full. Does SQL 6.5 grab all the space so the devices appear to be full, or does full mean full ( and no further transactions are possible? )

I have a couple new servers - Windows 2003 R2 - with SQL Server 2000SP4 installed. They are all Active/Active clustered instances (myfirst ones).I am trying to create database links to other SQL Server instances, butthere are 3 that I cannot connect to.The dblink works if I connect to the instance as "sa", but not as myWindows Authenticated account. We use Active Directory and I am in theAdministrator group on all of the boxes.Of the 3 I can't get to, 1 is a cluster (Active/Passive) and the other2 are just regular Enterprise instances. They are all SQL 2000 SP4.I have several other instances, all SP4 on 2003 boxes and I can connectto all of them.Also, on the instances where the dblink does not work, I can actuallyconnect to these databases w/in Enterprise Manager successfully.I am using a different port for the instances, but I have set them upin the Client Network Utility as well and still can't connect.I can connect via a dblink TO these new instances from the older boxesfine.I'm really stumped - I've had the Network people verify we don't have afirewall issue or something.Must be some sort of permissions problem, but I don't know what else tocheck - - -Please help!!THANK YOU!!
Hi, my database size has grown out of control and I need help with thefollowing issues. (I am very new to databases)I am storing financial tick data in one of the tables and after two monthsthe database has grown to 30GB. I do not need a permanent record of thistick data after it has been processed and tried to remove all rows from thistable (delete from Tickdata), however sql does not take kindly to removingmillions of rows and the operation seams to time out. The only solution Icould come up with was to delete the table.Secondly, after managing to clear out these tables I have noticed that thedatabase size is still 30GB, despite 29GB being available. Is there any wayto reduce the size of the database from 30GB. I tried the shrink databaseoption but it does not do anything. Any ideas?Thanks.
