I have a SQLexpress db that i would like to be able to access from both a windows app and web app (both running on the same machine) at the same time. Is this possible. I've been able to connect either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
Thanks
I have a windows application that uses a small MySql as its data source. I would like to convert it to SQL Express. I would like to continue to manage the data from the windows application, but would like to make it available to the web using Visual Web Developement. I can create the new database in VWD, but how do I access the data from my application? I can use either ODBC or ADO.

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Express database.Here is the connection string used on the web application:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|admindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
Now, i create a Windows application which will run on the server to perform some scheduled tasks, for the Windows application I used this connection string:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:WebSitesmywebsite.comwwwApp_Dataadmindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"The problem is, when the web site is running and using the database, the windows application can't connect to the database and i don't know where i'm doing wrong, if it's the web application connection string or, if it's the windows application connection string.
I hope someone had the same experience and can point me to a direction.
Thank you;Emerson Brito
Good morning,After long hours of search on the subject, I could not find a clear answer to my question.I understand what are ths physical limit fo the express version (1Gb or Ram, 4Gb database, 64 bit WOW).My configuration is as follow, windows webserver 64bit, I have 4 database of 10Mb each for 4 web-application. The maximum concurent connection is a total fo about 8 for all the web-application together.Therefore due to the cost of buying a workgroup of standard license, I was hoping to be able to use the express edition.Please let me know your thought.ThanksArno

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I would like my newly converted to .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to use an Sql Express database instead of MSDE. Previously, development was done on the default SQL Server instance using the full SQL Server 7.0. When deployed, MSDE was used with a named instance. The connection string in the application settings needed to be modified as part of the deployment. Now I've converted to .NET 2.0 and to Sql Server 2005, and/or Sql Express.
What I'd really like to do now is have a project within my solution that, when built, creates the database by running scripts, and deploys that database to the output directory of the executable.
I want this to run as part of a continuous integration solution that, so that every so often, the entire project is checked out, built (code and data), all is copied to a bin/[debug,release] directory, unit tests run, etc.
Has anyone done this successfully? Any pointers?
Thanx,
WNC
Do you believe that SqlServer Express can work absolutely without any administration?
That is to say: my clients are people without any technical knowledge and they usually communicate never with me.
Is SSE the correct database for this status, or should I use a desktop database like VFP or Access?
When I registered SQL Server Express I received an e-mail back showing all of the resources available to get started. There were 6 Starter Kits available, Teacher, Colection Manager, Amazon Enabled Movie Collection, and three others. When I click on the links to download the Starter Kits, the link comes back as invalid. Can you provide the correct links to use to get the Starter Applications, or can you e-mail me code? Thanks for you attention to this matter.

Hello,
Is it possible to send message from SQL Server Express to Applications using it on different machines ?
For example When an important record is inserted or updated, a message appears on Application user's screen.
If yes then how ?

Here is the big problem:
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 login control. this control connect to ASPNET.MDF database.
I built another application using windows service, and this application also connects to ASPNET.MDF database.
problem is that the first application that connects to the database, locks the database, and so the other application cannot use the database untill the other application is closed.
I am going on circles about this, and just don't know what to do.
Please please please. love me do.

Hi,
I have developed several PPC apps in VS2003, which i have deployed to other PPCs using sqlce.wce4.armv4.CAB for the database runtime.
Now I developed a new app. version in Visual Studio 2005, using the free SQL server express database that came with it.
I can create a .cab file for the app using a setup project, but it eludes me what to install on the PPC of the customer, database wise.
Is there some kind of installable runtime for sql server express ?
(Or what is it called today ?)
thx in advance,

I am running SQL Server 2005 Dev x86 with SSRS SP1 on Windows2003 Svr SP1.
My SQL Server is running and SSRS is working. When I come to run certain installs though, my Server name is not present in the dropdowns or in the browse for installed server lists.
I entered the name of my SQL server manually, but when I ran the application, it gave me an error: 00250 unable to run dtabase locator service.
Any ideas?
i am a computer sciences engineering student and and we have an assignment to create a web project with a database.
Our lecturers will store our submissions on a db server but they want our projects enable the restoring our own databases..
that is, they wanna be able to have a copy of our databases to a new db that they have just created.. and they want us to enable this feature in an install.aspx page in our project.. the new db is guaranteed that will have the same name as ours..
so now what i am supposed to include in install.aspx?
Hi All.. I have an 3 tier web applications and I want to use sql transactions but not in each class.
Example :
I have 3 clases who need to update each table in one transaction how I do use sql transactions. I try to do in this way but not work:
sub cmdupdate_click dim a as new class1 dim b as new class2 dim c as new class3 dim cn as new sqlconnection...... cn.open .....transactions.... scripts a.cn =cn ...I pass the same connection via property to each class a.update b.cn=cn.... b.update c.cn=cn..... c.update
Transaction...scripts to commit cn.closeend sub
maybe that logic is incorrect. I dont now is my explain is clear.
There is a possibility of a unique database for various applications. Example users of a table that has the name, email, registro.Uma application included in a user table and other application also included in this table.

What is the correct way to move applications from one server (2000) to another server(SQL 2005). I have to move all the databases as well as applications from one server to another.Here is my procedure:
1) Backup all 65 databases in first server(600GB total)
2)copy all the backup files from one server to another(destination)
3)Make all database(single user)and take transaction Log backup
4) Restore all database to destination server in norecovery mode and restore all transaction log in Recovery mode)
5)stop server 1 and point the application to another server
So how much downtime i have to face since it is 24/7 production server. and
Can you please give the correct details so i can apply.
Hi All,During the past couple of years I have been maintaining the company'sAccess databases, in the coming weeks I will be migrating data to SQLserver, I will be using the Access forms as a frontend to access datawhile we developed a new front end through VB.Net.I was wondering if anyone will recommend an application that makes anexact replica or backup of the SQL server in the case the SQL serverfails. With MS Access, if a record is corrupted we needed to go backto the previous day backup of the database, we cant afford to havethis issue any longer.Regards,John

All:
I am presently tasked with improving the performance of a chatty application. What I mean by a chatty application is that the application makes multiple calls to the database server for each user request. In many cases it appears that many of the windows are making multiple calls to the database for the population of dialog boxes. In a couple of cases there are more than 10 dialog boxes that are populated similar to this.
To me this is kind of an "old issue", but my response is (1) cache the dialog information as much as possible and (2) make one call to the database to return all of this data for the dialog boxes if it is not cached. For update calls again make a single call to the database rather than making a call for each individual row of a table that is updated.
I admit that some of this will complicate the code of the application; however, my perspective is that I am supposed to look at this from the database perspective and not from the perspective of "programmer convenience." There will be times in which something that would otherwise get to hairy for a programmer will dictate an additional trip to the server, but this should not normally be the case.
What else do I need to consider?

I have created a C# Windows Forms application that can be run connected directly to SQL Server 2005 (publisher) for in-office users and to a SQL Express (subscriber) on a tablet PC for remote users. The server is set through configuration and the remote users sync using replication and it all works.
The issue I'm having is that I've found it necessary to install SQL Server management objects (SQLServer2005_XMO) on the clients who sit at desktops and never use replication or SMO. I believe this is because SMO has to be installed in the GAC and I can't just distribute the required dlls with my app.
Is there any way I can deploy this app to always connected users without installing SMO on their machines?
Thanks, Jamie Ide
I am having a nightmare getting an answer about what type of licensing I will need for the standard addition of SQL Server 2005 for my asp.net application and wonder if anyone has any advice.
As I see it its very simple, I have a web app that makes a connection to SQL via a connection string using a single username and password, no impersonation just straight SQL authentication.
For this simple scenario I figured I would need to get a SQL 2005 license and then 1 Client access license (CAL), this being a nice affordable way of doing things BUT I am being told by different sources, that I may need to license on a per processor basis as any user of my web application, anonymous or otherwise needs a client access license and given that I don’t know how many users are going to access my website I would need to go for the larger outlay and purchase two standard processor license (my sql server is a dual processor machine).
Can anyone tell me if this is the case, is a connection from a ASP.Net website to a SQL server for my website visitors regarded as a new client and therefore needs a client access license or the large investment of a per processor license?
I would stick with SQL Express but at 4gigs max it won’t do the job.
Thanks in advance.
