SQL EXPRESS 2005 Connection String
Dec 25, 2006
I try to use this conn string but it is not working I think the problem is with the provider
DataBaseSource = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Password=sa2006; User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=coupon; Data Source=YAELSQLEXPRESS;"
I get error message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
do you know which provider can I use?
or maybe it is a sacurity problem

Hi, all. I am using VS.NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. I tried to use the following code to connect to a database named "AMSPROD" that I attached to SQL Server 2005 Express:
dbConn = new OleDbConnection(Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True);
dbConn.Open();
I got an error asking for provider with the above connection string, then I changed the conncection string to be like follows:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
I got error: No error message available, result code: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21)
Then I changed the Provider to be like: Provider=SQLOLEDB, now I am getting the following error:
Message: "Invalid authorization specification
Invalid connection string attribute"
Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"
StackTrace: " at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal..ctor(OleDbConnectionString constr, OleDbConnection connection)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionFactory.CreateConnection(DbConnectionOptions options, Object poolGroupProviderInfo, DbConnectionPool pool, DbConnection owningObject)

TargetSite: {Void .ctor(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionString, System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection)}
Strange thing is, when I use the Connect To Database under Tool menu of VS.NET 2005, I could make the connection to this database. Then I copied this connection string to the code, the connection couln't be made. I feel very confused.
I am wondering if I need to add ASP.NET user to SQLExpress. But I don't know how to do it?
Can anyone please help me out! Many thanks!

I'm a student at Boise State university and we're using SQL Express as part of one of our projects for ASP.NET programming. I liked it and I'm trying to use it to power a wiki that I'll be hosting from my home internet connection. The wiki is compatible with MSSQL server, but it won't connect to SQL Express.
I suspect that the problem is in the connection string, mainly because the apps we're developing for class use a connection string like:
<add name="AspNetForumConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=gaming.forum.nxnw;User ID=*********;Password=*********;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
and note the Data Source. The wiki I'm using is PHP based and uses ADObd to connect databases and has a driver for MSSQL, but not SQL Express (no surprise, really). I know just enough php to be dangerous to code and I've tried modifying the adodb-mssql.inc.php, but I can't seem to make the right change.
So, all that said, my question is: Is there a way to change what SQL Express 2005 will accept as a connection string? I've been looking, but I'm not even sure what the setting would be called.
Thanks,
Les

Hi, I have installed on my laptop SQL server 2005 Developer edition, I can change ANY of the settings of the SQL server and OS.
I am writing code with a team using continuous integration where the connection string is the following:
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=Secret;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
is there a way (create an alias,rename server, other?) to make my local dev SQL server accept the connection string above, as at the moment I have to rename the connection string every time before checking in code and after downloading the latest version from the code repository.
any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
JW.

I've used the connection string as
con.connectionstring = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Factory;Database=Production;Trueste _Connection=yes;"
con.open
This works fine the the host system(where the SQL express is installed) but if i try to run the applicatoin from a network PC, running on Windows 98, Im getting an error
"Login failed for user '' Factory/Guest"
When i Change the connection string to use User id and password of SQL Logins , (The user is set 'Public' as DB Role membership in SQL Express for the Production database)
con.connectionstring = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Factory;Database=Production;UID = dbUser PWD=Pass;"
con.open
I'm getting an error : The user is not associated with a Trusted SQL Server Connection
How can i resolve this problem,

Hai,
We created one application, with deployment. When we install the
application on another machine, it will attach a database in sqlexpress
instance. For eg. c:Programfilesoursoftwarenamekmsdb.mdf.
Now i am having one more webservice running on that machine as
dll(not webservice source code). In this web service i am reading that
database values. But the connection string is giving some error
message.
actually my coding is
sCon = "Server = ./SqlExpress;Database =KMSDB;Integrated Security =
SSPI;"
gsCon = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(sCon)
If gsCon.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
gsCon.Open()
End If
sQuery = "SELECT KeyCode 'Key Code',Status
'Status',UserCode 'User Code',JobCode 'JobCode' " & _
" FROM KeyHolders"
oDaKeyHolders = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sQuery, gsCon)
oDaKeyHolders.Fill(oDsKeyHolders)
For this I am getting the error is
"Cannot open database "KmsDb" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'DESIGN-EMB2user'."
Regards,
Raju

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a connection string to a simple SQL Express database file
but I keep getting an error.
I copied this string from the Database object in the Database explorer. I changed the slashes to forward slashes to get rid of the escape sequence issue & changed the timeout & Integrated seccurity but apart from that it's the same.
The file is in the same directort as the Solution so I guess you can say it's Local.
Any ideas on a correct conenction string would be most appreciated
Thanks very much in advance
Ant
Code Snippet
string conString = "Data Source=./SQLEXPRESS;"

+"Integrated Security=True;"
+ "Connect Timeout=10;"
+"User Instance=True;";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString);
con.Open();

I am using SQL server express 2005. I can drag and drop a grid control on to my web form and choose the data source to point to a SQL server database. Then datais nicely displayed on my web form.
Now I need to manually create my connection to the database as I need to read from a text file and then populatea database table with those values I read from the text file. I have not had any success with this though and I am stuck and need some help.
Below is my C# code and I list the web.config code where my connection string is stored.
Note that I can trace into the C# line of code below. If I then do a "Quick Watch" on "myConnection" in the debugger, the followingerror message is displayed:
ServerVersion 'myConnection.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' string {System.InvalidOperationException}
So I don't know what the problem is here. If someone can help me out I would be forever thankfull
C# code:
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["TheDividerConnectionString"]);
Here is the connection string as defined in the web.config file:
<connectionStrings> <add name="TheDividerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BVCOMPUTERSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TheDivider;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>

I have an XP Pro machine running a classic ASP site in IIS - the version that comes on the XP Pro CD. The site makes a connection to an MSDE database on the same machine named InControl. I have moved that database to SQL Express 2005 and want to test it with the ASP site. SQL Express 2005 is running on a separate Vista machine. I am currently using this connection string:
objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=400SC;Initial Catalog=InControl;User ID=" & uid & ";Password=" & upass & ""
Where 400SC is the name of the XP Pro machine and InControl is the database. The variables uid and upass are pulled from Session when the connection string is created.
I have tried different Provider names and various combinations of server name and ip address with and without port numbers for the Data Source. All of them yield some variation of this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
What should the connection string look like?
Thanks for the help.
PS - If the solution involves a port, do I need to make that port an exception in the Vista Firewall?

Hello,
I'm working with classic ASP and am having a terrible time trying to get a proper connection string working with my database. Could someone please advise me on how to get the following code to connect to my database (which is using Windows Authentication)?
If fileSize > 0 Then
' Connection string
Dim connStr
connStr = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=Dell-LaptopSQLEXPRESS;Database=Upload;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
' Recordset object
Dim rs
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "Files", connStr, 2, 2
Right now the error I'm receiving is:
"SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
Also, I'm using II7 with Vista.

Hi
I've been trying to get DotNetNuke to connect to a SQLServer Express database but no luck. I've had no luck with info from their forums...
The connection string I'm supposed to use is:
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I just can't get it to connect to the database. Says something that remote connections are not allowed. I've done the Area thing and allowed all connection including remote connections.
Can't we use the standard string like:
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
...to connect? I'd like to setup a user and give the username and password in the connection string - real easy and non-complicated...
Any ideas or help?

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hey,
I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server.
So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determined hacker could get into any system , I guess. There are no credit card #'s stored in this app, but in theory there must be a way. I run all access to the db through stored procedures with permissions, for whatever it's worth.
Thanks in advance!

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 have SQL 2005 and I wanted to write a little program in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (VBEE) to carry out some processes. While away I built my user form, but when I got back I found that VBEE refuses to connect to SQL Server 2005 and is only configured to link to SQL Express.
The data source is set to .SQLEXPRESS in the advanced properties of the Add Connection form in the Data Source Configuration Wizard and you can not change it.
I read in MSDN ID 329721 that you can create a data layer that will allow you to use the wizards, but that is as far as it went and is above my programming skills.
So my only options are use VB.Net 2003 Standard edition, use connected mode or give up and it was only supposed to be a quick fix. Had anyone else had this same issue and developed a work around?

Hiya,
I'm a SQL n000b, and have just joined the forum 5 minutes ago seeking an answer to this problem that I've encountered. It seems that the way connection strings are handled in SQL 2005 have changed. This connection string used to work, but is now borked:
<add key="DBNAME.ConnectionString" value="packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source='sqlvirdev0035dev35';persist security info=False;initial catalog=DBNAME;connection timeout=60" />
Has something explicitly changed in SQL 2005 that would break this <add key>? Does something need to be set server side in order to handle these connection strings now? I have no idea why this won't work anymore, I just know that it doesn't work.
Ty for any help,
