SQL Express Instal Questions
Sep 6, 2007
SQL Express 2005 Install
Question 1) If you leave the hide advance options checked, which of these 3 options does it choose on the Service Account Screen (I believe it is Network Service).
Local Service
Network Service
Local System
Question 2) If you uncheck the hide advance opitions, so you can access the Service Account Screen, which is the better option, local service or local system for a stand alone computer the the database is only accessed by a program runnin gon that computer
Question 3) I have installed SQL Express 2005 on 3 machines, two of them gave me a default instance of SQLExpress, the third of MSSQLExpress. We need the same instance name on all machines, or we would have to change the connection string on the program each time.
Why is the 3rd machine doing that?
Thanks,
Bob

I'm trying to install BCM into Outlook 2007. I'm able to get the Office
package working and updated to TR2. However when it starts the install of
BCM the first step is to install SQL Express. I get two error messages indicating
failure to install and it refers me to the SQL log. Here's a copy of the
most recent SQL install log. I've removed and reinstalled everything many times but the
same error message persists on install of BCM. I've also tried to directly install SQL Express and get the same error. Any ideas???? Thanks,
Rusty.

I have a few questions about SQL express.
Will SQL express make my workstation (regular PC on network) act as a server? Or does it just allow VB express / Web Developer Express to write code that will work on an actual My SQL server?
The goal is to make a simple DB that will then be used on a website on a live server which has My SQL on it. I don't need SQL express on that server also do I? MY knowledge about SQL is next to null.
Thanks

Hello - I'm about to rebuild my website on a nice new windows 2k3 server. I was previously using SQL server 7 but I'd like to use the 2005 edition.
Here's my first question - is the Express edition 2005 good enough to use on my live web server? Are there limits on the amount of connections at any one time?
My second question is this - what's the best way to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express?
At the moment I would use something like:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=myDB
And then I would set up a COMPUTERNAMEASPNET account under SQL Server 2005 Express.
Is that an ok way to connect??
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Note: Please refer to my previous message to see the current VS2005 C# code I am using to create my database.
This database will be used for short term operations. In otherwords, a user will create the database, generate a lot of data that will be created using:
SqlBulkCopy bcp;
Then, there will be 'activity'... updates, queries, deletes, etc for a few days and then the user will at a minimum remove all of the data and at some future point in time, will recreate the data and do the process all over.
In otherwords, I am not concerned about backups or transaction logging or recovery or any of these 'normal' issues of using a SQL database.
That said, how do I use SMO to keep the LDF limited in size and as small as possible (assuming I can't turn of the tranaction log to begin with).
2nd question is...I read soething about being able to log ONLY the exection of a Bulk Copy operation. How do I specify that? This is my SQLBulkCopy code.
SqlBulkCopy bcp;
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand();
sqlCmd.Connection = m_dbFiles.conMain;
bcp = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlCmd.Connection);
bcp.DestinationTableName = "tblMyTable";
bcp.WriteToServer(datatable);

I got 2 questions to ask:
1. I choose Windows and SQL authentication during setup. Will this have any impact on my connection string in Dot net?
2. If I want to host my db on my computer, what other protocols do I need to enable? Currently I got shared memory on.

So I am fairly new to Express and I have installed it on my development machine; much tio my chagrin it is quite difficult to import data into SQLEXPRESS. I have a 'sa' account setup and I have created a new database and table within that database, however, when I try to import data into that table by setting up a link server to excel I am having some major issues!
I ran this code first to create the linked server...
DECLARE @RC int
DECLARE @server nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @srvproduct nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @provider nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @datasrc nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @location nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @provstr nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @catalog nvarchar(128)
-- Set parameter values
SET @server = 'XLTEST_SP'
SET @srvproduct = 'Excel'
SET @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
SET @datasrc = 'c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls'
SET @provstr = 'Excel 11.0'
EXEC @RC = [master].[dbo].[sp_addlinkedserver] @server, @srvproduct, @provider, @datasrc, @location, @provstr, @catalog
Next I try to run any of the statement below and I get the errors pasted below...
SELECT * FROM Anchor_Hocking...Sheet1$
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'Anchor_Hocking'
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Sheet1$
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking".
The file is not open. I have granted full access rights to all users....I am really frustrated!
Also, how can I get SSIS on this machine with SQLEXPRESS?

1. The title of this post says it all. My app will have a very small footprint to down load. I don't want to user to have to download 50 + MB just to try my little $15 app:-) So
QUESTION 1 - Will SQL Express be in the Vista bits? If so which versions?
2. Once SQLExpress is installed by whatever means, are there rules about how the instance is used? I have no problems playing well with others so I would be more than happy to create my DB in .SQLExpress.
QUESTION 2 - Are there any rules governing who can play in the Express instance? How should dtabases should be named to avoid collisions with the other kids?
3. I'd love to be able to work in in ClickOnce / user never has to have admin password environment.
QUESTION 3 - Besides UAC are there any constraints on writing to a properly installed Express instance that would get in the way of a pure user application from using the basic instance.
4. Right now - because I can't read directions and still don't understand the smoke and mirrors in VS 2005 when it comes to dealing with databases - I have DDL in my program that allows me to create my database from scratch. Not sure that this is the right way to go.
QUESTION 4. What is the best way for an user software to create its database in an instance of SQL Express.
5. SQL Express is yet another thingie that will run in the background that the typical user won't understand and wont' give a hoot about.
QUESTION 5. Can I / should I programmatically worry about whether the service is up and running? If so how do I launch it.
I know this is a lot for a single post, but it all sort of hangs together.
Regard,
Al Christoph

I can choose synchronization direction for articles: a) Bidirectional b) one way
1) Is that possible somehow to replicate the schema only of an article but no synchronization / zero direction :-)/
2) Same question about columns, I should replicate schema only for few columns, but without data synch. These columns are freely updateable at anywhere (publisher and subscribers), but the data changes shouldn't be replicated.
Thanks for the answers in advance

I am currently using Management Studio Express to administer remote SQLServer databases I support as a DBA. I notice that I cannot "see" DTS packages on the remote server from Express, but when I login directly to the server (Term Services) and use the local Management Studio (Full?), that I CAN see the DTS packages.
1) What are the other differences between Management Studio Express and Management Studio "Full"?
2) Is it possible to aquire and install (upgrade) on my workstation, to Management Studio "Full" so that I can take advantage of the additional capabilities the "Express" version does not have, in order to manage my remote servers?
TIA,
Phil Streiff, MCDBA

I have two questions,
1) Could anyone please point me in the right direction concerning information pertaining to NT Server Enterprise Edition verses NT Server Workstations. We are having problems running SQL Server 7.0 and the Enterprise Edition together on the same machine and was wanting to find information about compatability issues, if there are any,
2) I, on a SQL Server 6.5 database shrunk it by 2 Gb. When I looked to see if SQL Server released those 2 Gb back to the hard drive, I was amazed that it didn't! Did I miss something or will SQL Server 6.5 not release the space because of the initial set-up. And why did SQL Server 6.5 automatically take the space from the Transaction logs when neither of the devices were specified? Is the Transaction Log the default area for shrinkage?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi, does anyone know how to explain how SQL transactions get mapped into TDS and TDS gets mapped into TCP/IP packets?
Or can you please point me in the right direction? I need to figure out how TDS and TCP/IP relate?
We're using replication and are having some latency issues and I'm trying to find out how SQL handles TDS and TCP/IP etc...
Thanks for your time.

1. When we create DTS in SQL Server through DTS designer, where are they stored physically?
2. What would be the best way to modify a DTS without using DTS designer?
3. Is there any other way to create DTS apart from DTS designer and Visual Basic?
4. Is there any website which has detailed information for DTS? (which has more FAQs like above?)
In our production environment, we keep changing the servers frequently, and everytime that happens, I have to change the connection properties in all the DTS going to them one by one.
thanks,
sanjay.

I am not too familiar with SQL Server, but my supervisor gave me the task of finding out the difference between SQL Enterprise and SQL Standard. He also asked me to research the difference between processor licences and client access licences. I will use the Internet as a resource, but I would also like to hear the opinions of someone who uses these programs or is knowledgable about them. So please any suggestions or any useful links would be very helpful.

Could I do periodicity backups to another computer(mediaserver) using VDI??
I mean , Could I config a Virtual Device so that I can do backups like disk or tape, I can use
'backup database ...to virtual_device='...' ' to do backup to another computer(mediaserver)?
suppose that I have finished the interface of mediaserver.
If this is impossible,how can I do periodicity backups to another computer??
I have finished a program using VDI that can do backup to another computer,and I know how to do periodicity backups to disk or tape. but I am puzzled about the periodicity backup using VDI.
How should I do?
Thanks,All.

Hi Could any one tell me the answers for these questions.
1. how do we troubleshoot a datbase if it is in suspect mode.What is the reason for a database to be in suspect mode.
2. how can we move a file from C drive to D drive, so that the file location in C drive is completely moved .
3.In a particular primary file group there are many objects.
How can we move some of the objects from this primary file group in to another file group.
4. can we install a sql server on a remote server so that it will not ask any inputs like domain name, authentication modes. .
5.If we want to implement clustering , can we use the virtual ip address on clustering as the ip address of our system or we have to use another ip address for clustering
6. In 2000 we have DTs package.can we run the same DTS package in 2005.

Hi
Im relatively new to ASP/SQL and have been thrown into the deep end by work. Ive got courses to go on, but not for another 3-6months.
Ive got an ASP file calling a database using SQL. Once you hit the "go" button, it puts this data into an Excel file, under a new window (still showing the asp file in the address bar).
It currently shows:
1)
Item numbers that end in "0" i.e. 3.10, 12.20 appear as 3.1 and 12.2 respectively in the Bill of Materials … i.e. being treated as decimals … I need them to show-up as text.
************************************************** *******************
2)
When saving the spreadsheet … it would be good to get "X" to set the default file name to:
<Quote ID>_<Customer>_<Platform>_<version>.[xls|pdf]
************************************************** *******************
3)
When a spreadsheet is displayed, it is in an editable Excel format.
Is it possible to lock the file automatically when its opened or password protect it?
************************************************** *******************
4)
If a spreadsheet window is open and you try and open a new one, the old one pops-up/is still there. Need to be able to close the old one and re-open a new one automatically.
If necessary i will post the code.
Any takers?
Thanks
