SQL 2005 Express Does Not Work

Why Can't I Get SQL Express 2005 And VB Studio Express 2005/2008to Work Together?

This is what I have done.

1. Installed VB.NET IDE 2008 and SQL Server Compact 2005. IDE requires upgrade of database to 3.0 version which I allowed it to do. After the database was upgraded, I did an amount of coding work in the IDE and then tried to go back to do more database work in SQL. However the database then could not be opened in SQL Server Compact 2005. An error said that because it had been upgraded, it could not be read. It was requiring me to run 'upgrade.exe'. I had no idea what this meant and could find no upgrade available online.
2. Removed VB.NET IDE 2008 and installed 2005 instead. However, the file extension on the SQL Server Compact database is .sdf, but the IDE is requiring a .mdf extension. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to save or to have the desired extension, but I cannot.

Questions:

1. Do SQL Express 2005 and VB Studio Express 2008 work together?
2. If so, how?

It seems as though application each requires a different version of the database. If the database is usable in one, it is not usable in another.

Thanks for the help.

Can SQL 2005 Standard/Express Work With .NET 3 Or 3.5?

I've got some applications which need .NET 3. And since theoretically .NET3 is using .NET2's runtime (CLR), I'm told that applications for .NET2 should work in .NET3 as well. But I would still like to ask to have a confirmation:

Can SQL 2005 Standard edition and Express work with .NET 3 or .NET 3.5? Has Microsoft tested this and can confirm this?

Can Sql 2000 And 2005 Express Work Together?

I have a server (win server 2003) that is running Symantec Backup Exec for backups. I found that this soft uses an SQL server 2000 instance to keep his data... The problem is that I developed an application in asp.net (with VS2003) that use an SQL server 2005 express database. What I want to know is if I install SQL server 2005 express, is the backup will still work? I mean that the 2005 express wont upgrade sql 2000? What do I have to do to make it works?

Trigger Work In VS Explorer - Not In Debug App - SQL Express 2005

OK I am really going nuts here. I have a trigger that will work if I insert a row using SQL MGMT Studio or VS DB explorer, but it will not insert using the tableadapter.update() command.

What is also strange is that I have to execute the query in the VS DB Explorer or SSMSE to get them to fill in the default values (trigger).

No matter what they don't work in the debug application:

Below is the trigger:



Code Snippet

ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[weight_train_log_InsertTrigger]
ON [dbo].[weight_train_log]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
UPDATE [weight_train_log]
SET [CreationDate] = GETDATE()
FROM inserted
WHERE inserted.[GUID] = [weight_train_log].[GUID]
END

Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)

We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000.

In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)?

Hope to get feedback soon.

Edited Data Won't Propagate Back To The Database (VB 2005 Express && SQL Server 2005 Express)

Hi,

I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.

When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the

Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)

I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.

I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.

Thanks,
Ieyasu

This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1.

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.

How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?

Currently, if I run this query:

SELECT @@version

I get the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.


Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Getting A SQL Express Database To Work On A SQL Server

Hi,
I'm getting ready to deploy an ASP.NET application to a server that does not support SQL Express, but does support MS Access and SQL Server. Is there any easy way to convert my SQL Express code to either Access or regular SQL Server code, without having to change very much code in my application. I really like the integration that SQL Express has with Visual Web Developer, and would like to be able to keep that sort of integration if at all possible.
Thanks,Drew

If not, what should I use to prepare the database and drive the webpage.

Installed SQL Express And Now Front Page Won't Work.

A couple of weeks ago I installed SQL Express on a system that also has VS 2005, Front Page and other applications. Now the Front Page application can no longer connect to the web server and I keep getting a message:

Server error: Error 2 opening registry key "SOFTWAREMicrosoftShared ToolsWeb Server ExtensionsPortsPort 80".

Has anyone else seen this error? Any suggestions on resolving this.

I did try a reinstall of Front Page and the error is still there.

Easy One(?) Converting Sql05 Statement To Work In Sql Express

Hi, I was handed an old application written for sql05, it has this (kind of) statement:
Dim CommandText As String = "SELECT c.name FROM db1 c LEFT JOIN "

CommandText += "db2.dbo.Users u ON u.iKey = c.key "

CommandText += "WHERE u.cUserName = '" & User & "'"


As you can see, there are two databases, db1 and db2 and this worked fine in sql05, but when I convert each of the databases to sqlexpress, I get this error: Invalid object name 'db2.dbo.Users'.

So how can I make this work in sqlexpress? Are queries across databases not allowed?

Thanks so much for your help!

Confused As To Which SQL Server Version The Express Languages Work With

I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed on my PC. I also have the Express Editions of VB and C# installed. Is there any purpose served in my installing SQL Express, also?

I've read comments that the Express languages can only connect to SQL Express databases and not SQL Server 2005 databases; however, I'm not sure how that is enforced. The 'connect to database' wizard does seem to be different in the Express IDE than it is in Visual Studio.

I've read other Express language references that say that they can only connect to SQL Server databases via something called User Instances; however, it's not clear to me if that infers that only SQL Express supports User Instances.

Regarding User Instances, it's not clear to me whether this technology is for single-user (i.e., exclusive) access or not. What scenarios are User Instances good for?

Migrated From SQL 2k5 Express To SQL Server - Profile Doesn't Work

I recently created an application that stores 3 variables in the web.config in the "Profile"configuration:

<profile>
<properties>
<add name="Department" defaultValue="" />
<add name="UserName" defaultValue="Anonymous" allowAnonymous="true"/>
<add name="AL" defaultValue="" />
</properties>
</profile>

By doing this my web.config automatically configured itself to create a database in my app_data folder and also filled in all the table rows as necessary. Then I moved the code to my sql server running SQL Server 2005 Standard and found out that it won't generate that database in either the app_data folder or the SQL Server Data directory. I've gotten so desperate to get this database created that I've (temporarily) given "Everyone" full permissions to both directories. I then double checked that my named pipes to that server were enabled, and then also tried moving my database from my working sql express app from a different computer to the server. I still cannot get it to work.

If I have no database in the folders that worked on sql express i get this error:

"SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express ..."

If I have a database in the folder it says it can't communicate with it or can't find it.

My web.config shows:


<add name="LocalServer" connectionString="server=SERVERNAMEWest;database=ASPNETDB.MDF;uid=UserName;pwd=Password;" PoviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Is there a way to successfully generate this database with sql server? Please Help!!!

Can I Attach To My 2005 Express DB Using The 2005 Mgt Studio (NOT EXPRESS) Client?

I have a 2005 Express DB I wish to attach to using the 2005 Mgt Studio Client (Not the express version, but the full blown 2005 Mgt Studio Client from the SQL 2005 Standard Edition Install disk). Can this be done, or can I only use the 2005 Mgt Studio Express Edition Client?



Thanks in advance.

How To Restore Sql Express 2005 DB In Sql Express Enterprise Edition 2005

VS 2005 Doesn't Work With SQL Server 2005.

When I try to add a SQL Server Database as a new item into the App_Data folder of my Web Project, I get this error demanding that SQL Server Express has to be installed. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Is there some setting or something to make VS 2005 Pro work with a standard SS database? I don't want to use the express edition. I can't use SS's management studio with that.



Does Microsoft monitor this forum? I thought they were going to be taking technology forward; not backwards. I'm losing a lot of time having to install and uninstall and reinstall to get the environment into a mode that works lke I want it to work. If they didn't intend for SS standard edition to be used with VS 2005 Pro, then why did they include SS developers edition in the Pro package?

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore &&amp; Database Locations Fault

Hello there,

I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.

Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.

And there are more problems see here:

Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"

But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.

Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????


Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press

Attach Databases -> Add

The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???


What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

SQL Express 2005 Remote Connection With VWD 2005 Express

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.
