SQL 2005 Express - Problem With No SQL Serevr Agent
Mar 28, 2008
Hello.
I have loaded SQL 2005 Express (from the web) with SQL Server
Management Studio Express. I suspect this means that the "SQL Server
Agent" is not available. This "SQL Server Agent" comes with SQL 2000
(even the free version of MSDE 2000 has this feature). This agent is
useful for scheduling jobs (in conjunction with the available
Enterprise Manager).
So my problem is how do I schedule jobs with this product? It is
running on the XP OS.
I need your help, I am trying to restore the data base with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. But I am facing errors see below, please help me out. i am really in trouble. I am using Windows XP Media Edition. I am getting this error even I tried to restre the data base after creating a new with over-write check. Quick response will higly be appriciated.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The media family on device 'D:OthersSTOCKGAME ServerLED_STOCK.BAK' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Does SQL Server 2005 Express have a SQL Agent? If so, can someone tell me where I would find it? If not, can someone tell me if there is a replacement for it or some kind of work around? Thanks, John
Hi - I know SQL Server 2005 Express comes with no agent, so how do people using it, currently backup their databases? eg. I currently use MSDE in a live environment (small user base), and I use the Agent/Jobs to create a backup each night. How could I achieve the same with the SQL Server 2005 Express? Thanks for any help, Mark
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
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.
HiIm trying to connect Visual Basic Express 2005 to a remote SQL Server Express 2005. I cant find how i can do that in VB.net Express.In Web developer there are no problem to connect to a remote SQL server but i cant find it in VB.net Express. The XP with the SQL server that i want to connect to is on the local network. Greatful for help!
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. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there. Any suggestions?
Hi Guys, I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]? ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
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:
D:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727InstallUtil.exe SQLAgent.exe by running it from a command prompt.
and got an error that the system could not find the file or one of its components. It is a farily new install. I do not think I've lost any files any time.
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.
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?
If i have been using sql server 2005 express for developing my application and i decide to upgrade to sql server 2005 express with advanced services while still working on the same application, what will happen to my application's database. Can i be able to continue with my work with out any major regrets.
I have got a backup maintenance plan, and I want to output to a file if it has been a success or fail. I was using sp_help_jobhistory and relying on the run_status to determine if it succeeded(1) or failed(0). I have found this to be unreliable compared with the report which is in the SQL Agent Log File Viewer.
I assume this has to be stored some where, how do I access the table where this is stored? So i can return the results of my maintenance plan from SQL Agent.
How do I install the SQL client on another machine? I've done this in previous versions but things have changed a bit. I'm using the developer edition.
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.
I use Visual Web Developer Express 2005 with SQL Server 2005 Express. With this combination I was able to create a new database.I can add tables, views etc.But no triggers....do you guys have an idea how I can add a new trigger?Please help!
This is a question about the movie collection starter So here it is:
I am running Vista RC1 (Build 5600) and vb express 2005
I downloaded and install SQL Server Express 2005 Edition SP2 - Since SQL Server Express 2005 Edition SP1 does not work with Vista
But when I try to run the collection app or if I try to download and install the Amazon version I get the following error message:
There was a problem loading data: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be cause by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I need any advice you can give me to solve this problem, how to change the default settings, because I do not know where to start.
I m using SQL Server Job Agent to execute my SQL Server Integration Package. When I execute this job, the status of the job is shown as 'Between tries' and the job get hanged. I searched through the msdn. The solution provided is specific to SQL Server 2000. I am not able to get the solution for SQL Server 2005. Could someone please tell me the reason behind this problem?
I created an RMO script to generate a republishing replication (A to B then B to C). Because I don't want to start the B to C replication until the A to B replication is complete, I start the Snapshot and the Merge processes synchronously (vs. asynchronously). If I ran them asynchronously, I'd need to put in logic to loop-check the completion status of the Merge agent job before kicking off the B to C process.
In the Snapshot agent, this means running .GenerateSnapshot(); (vs. StartSnapshotGenerationAgentJob)
and in Merge agent this means running .SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize(); (vs. SynchronizeWithJob)
I notice that the Snapshot agent never shows a LastRun or LastRun Outcome even though the snapshots are being generated. I haven't tested the other scenario (asynchronous), but I presume they would register the LastRun columns because, as I read it, they use the SQL Agent jobs to accomplish their work.
Does anyone have RMO code that I could add to plug this information into whatever system table (?) somehow?
I have a job scheduled to run daily every hour. If I log on to the server the jobs runs sucessfully but if I log off the job fails. I have scheduled a SSIS package to run as a job.. pLease help...
I am using SQL Server 2005. and a proxy account to run the job. I treid to run the job as One Time only and it runs sucessfuly.
I am running windows 2003 and sql server 2005. i am following the directions in books online:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand Services, and then click SQL Agent.
In the results pane, right-click any instance, and then click Start.
A green arrow on the icon next to the SQL Server Agent and on the toolbar indicates that SQL Server Agent started successfully.
Click OK.
the problem is i have nothing in Services. there is nothing to expand. is it installed wrong?? or is there another step before this that i have to do??
Hi all, This is my first message in this forum and I am a new bie to SQL server 2005.. I am trying to schedule the backup job for a database in 2005 and I am not able to figure out where it is. I browsed through few topics in the forums and found that I can do using sql server agent in the SQL server management studio. But I do not see the sql server agent in the management studio. Any help is appreciated.
I've got two problems when attempting to set up SQL Server 2005 Agent. Any help on either of these would be greatly appreciated.
1.) When I go into properties of SQL Server Agent and then to history. I check the Automatically remove agent history checkbox and set the time delay, but it doesn't stay checked when I exit and look again. Does anyone know how to fix this or even better the specific registry key I can change to force it? I believe it is in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server(Instance)SQLServerAgent
2.) On SQL Server Agent properties in General I have changed the location of the log file so instead of D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGSQLAGENT.OUT it is E:SQLLogsSQLAGENT.OUT However when I go through Management Studio to view them it says "Unicode File Expected", even though SQL Server is creating the files and automatically rolling them over (I do have Write OEM error log and include execution trace messages checked and am logging Errors, Warnings and Information).
I have scheduled a job in SQL Server Agent, as it executes it fails Immediatly. The error history displays the following error details, which i copied from the log file
"Description: Unable to load the package as XML because of package does not have a valid XML format. A specific XML parser error will be posted.
The system cannot find the path specified.". This happens when loading a package and the file cannot be opened or loaded correctly into the XML document. This can be the result of either providing an incorrect file name was specified when calling LoadPackage or the XML file was specified and has an incorrect format. End Error ... The package could not be f... The step failed."
I am using the File System Type to load my package.
I have been having a problem with an attempted install of sp2 (the updated one) and don't have a clue on how to get past it. Here is the error that I get
MSP Error: 29537 SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_is_sqlagent_starting' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server.
What is strange is that I have ensured that the Agent XP's are enabled prior to the sp install by checking the agent xp's configuration option but it seems as though during the sp install it disables them and encounters problems when trying to start the SQL Agent resulting in a failure of the sp install with the message shown above.
When I check the database after the failure, it does show the AgentXP's as being disabled. I've re-enabled them multiple times with the same result.
The sp is being installed on a 2 node cluster but only one node is having the problem, the other upgraded fine. I have also had this problem on a single non-clustered server with 3 instances where two of them installed fine but one didn't, it too had the same error message.
My basic configuration is as follows: x64 Windows 2003 Standard Edition R2 SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (for the clustered server) Dev Edition for the standalone server
Any thoughts on how to get past this problem or is this a bug?
I've installed an SSL certificate via IIS. I stopped sql server and agent but cannot restart them. I'm getting the following message in the error log:

I've tried removing the SSL certificate but with no success.
Help! I'm starting to think that the only solution is to uninstall sql server 2005 and reinstall.
Hi, I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ? Thanks in advance.
