I have just downloaded VB Express, that comes with SQL Express
In order to manage and use SQL databases it seems I have to use SQL
Studio Mgt Tool. But, where is it? I can only see Configuration Tools,
but not any Mgt tool or DB Engine......
Maybe my installation is incomplete?
thanks
Hi guys, I've tried to back a database from a server on the net ie: discountasp.net by using Microsoft SQL 2005 Express management tool.
After all the set up:
(1) the part "Destination", in the "Disk" radio button was cheked, the path for the backup file shows like: D:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmyDatabase.back; As I understand D: is the CD drive(?), so I put a CDisc in the drive, and kept going with the process. The Process went very well and inform that the Database has been fully backed up. But I never have found the "saved" or "backed up" that I backed up. Can anyone show me where this backup Database in that D: drive, and where is that D: drive anyway?
(2) In that "destination" part, if I clicked "add", and then typed in the path address part like: C:....mybackupDatabase.bak for example, the the tool gave me the error: ... not set to an instance ...; I counldn't even select the Browse to browse to the directory that I wanted to back up the Database.
Please help me for this.
Regards.

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

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

I am trying to "import" a .dbf into SQL Server Compact Edition, but I cannot find a way to do so. Can someone tell me how this is done?
On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

hi
guide me how to work and design backend in sql server 2005 management studio express
Hi there,
I am just starting to learn SQL 2005 Express. After opening the Management Studio Express, I right Click on the Databases node and create new database. then create a name etc. The problem is that when I click ok to create the new database, I get a warning saying that Input a filename. However when I click on filename (after filepath) it is greyed out and I cant add a filename.
Does anyone know how to remedy this?
Regards
DML
Every time I try to remove 'condensed type' from the custom table view (working in database diagrams) the MSE crashes on me, as soon as I push the < button to remove it from the list of columns.
Is there a forum or place to post such a bug, or someone to send full details to? When it dies, it doesn't give me an option to send the information to MS.
Cheers,

Hello,
I have installed SQL 2005 Express Management Studio several times and It fails to completely install. I get a message that SQL Server Express 2005 x84 did not install properly. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but I get the same problem. My Visual Web 2005 Express Edition and Visual Basic 2005 Express gives an error when I try to add a new database. The error is: "Failed to generate instance of SQL server due to a failure copying database files. The connection will be closed. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? My computer system meets the hardware requirements.
Sincerely,
Pam
I am trying to install SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) on Windows XP SP2.
But installtion does not get completed. It goes unto last step in the installation and then rollback itself. At the lat screen it displayes the message that "SQL Server Management Studio Express installation could not be completed as it was intreupted". Though I did not do any thing? I tried at least 20 times but it ends up here.
I followed all the steps as defined in SQL Server Express setup on Microsoft site?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive
However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.
I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.
Thanks

I am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.
when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!
If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)
If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.
Thanks in advance
I installed SQL Server Express 2005 and was able to install the sample databases. I have been working through the on-line tutorial. In Lesson 4 of the tutorial it instructs you to select File, New, Project. However, when I select File, New there is no Project choice listed. Have I failed to install something correctly?
Thanks for any assistance.
I am still a bit of a noob with SQL, but, when I use Enterprise Manager with my SQL 2000 server at the office, it is pretty simple to import data from pretty much any data source. I have not been able to locate the Transform facility in the 2005 express software that I downloaded onto my home pc (to help me learn SQL). Did I not install something that I need? or am I just missing what I am looking for? The net question is, how do I import data?
Thanks,
Tom
Ok so here's what happened:
Installed Server 2008 (64bit)
Installed VS2008 (+SQL 2005 Express, by default)
I've always installed SQL 2005 Dev (including the SQL Management Studio) before installing VS. Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success.
I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS?
Thanks.

The statement has been terminated.
|OK|
2) After I clicked on the |OK| button, the following message appeared:
This "SqlException was unhandled
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated."
is pointing to the "Throw" code statement in the middle of

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I have installed Visual Studio 2005 which includes SQL Server Express but not the Management Studio.

I have created a new database using Visual Web Developer and wanted to manage it using either the SQL Server Management Tool or MS Access via ODBC.
Niether of these tools will connect to the database.

Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:InetpubwwwrootSRExchangeApp_Datasrx.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I can however connect successfully to the master file, the conenction string for this is
