SQL Express Local Connectivity

Feb 7, 2008

I have installed SQL Express, default instance, on a WinXP client. I can create an ODBC DSN using the SQL Native client ODBC driver, and connect to the instance with no problems. When I try to connect using the SQL Server ODBC driver it fails to find the instance. Also, when I try to connect using ADO in a VB6 application, again, it fails to connect. I am connecting from the PC where the instance is installed, not across a network. Anyone any ideas?

NB: The SQL server network config tool (svrnetcfg.exe, or whatever it is) is not installed, so I cannot check the server configuration.

Connectivity Issues On SQL Express 2005 On Vista Business

Oct 1, 2007

I read your blogs regularly on SQL-Server Express 2005 which I have been actively deploying with my software product for about a year now. I have migrated most of my products to SQL-Server from Microsoft Access. I have found SQL-Express very stable and have had no significant problems. My products are mainly accounting based such as payroll systems, hotel management systems, school academic results management systems.

My favourite front ends tools are Visual Basic 6.0, and Microsoft Access. Typically, with MS Access I link to tables via the SQL-Server ODBC driver and all the client front ends share a common security file, an access work group file. I have been using this approach for up to a decade with no problems.

Currently I am deploying a hotel management system and payroll system in a hotel about to be opened. Against our advice, they purchased computer systems running Windows Vista Business instead of XP which we are sure our software suites, the wireless network and other software solutions such as CCTV work perfectly. This has caused a lot of problems.

On my side I had the extra task of dealing with Office 2007.
2 key problems arose.

After setting up a simple Ethernet network connecting the Vista computers I could not connect to SQL-Server Express in Windows Authentication mode via SQL Native Client and SQL Server ODBC drivers from another computer on the network (i could only connect locally); I could only connect to it from another machine using SQL Authentication mode, which is not my preference.

Secondly, I could not share the security file with more than one client of the network. The file seems to be locked exclusively by one client that first grabs the file, hence you cannot log on to software. This defeats clientserver idea. HEEEEELP.

A way round this was to have at least one computer on the network running XP (or any windows not Vista) and share the security file from it. I wish to know the reason for this behaviour on Vista.

As to the first problem of not being able to connect of SQL-Server Express 2005 via Windows Authentication mode from another machine on the network, I found the cause: The PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING setting on Sharing and Discovery option for networking on Windows Vista.

When this setting is turn ON you cannot connect to the SQL-Server engine. The error Login failed for user ": Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection is given. When I turn off this setting, I immediately could log on. I have validated this on several setups and this seems to the consistent. PLEASE SHARED THIS With others.

Thanks Dr Folami

Management Studio Express Breaks Database Connectivity

Nov 7, 2006

Hi, I'm using SQL Express to run DotNetNuke on my own Windows 2003 server. DotNetNuke(DNN) copies a database on to the server from it's installation files and during the installtion process it fills the database with starter data. That process works fine.

But the minute I attach to the database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (MSE), my web app loses connectivity to the database. When browsing to the default.aspx, I see the following message:
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.03.05
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

__________________________________________________________________

(don't be fooled by the error message, Dot Net Nuke was fully installed and working before I attached to it with Management Studio Express)



Does anyone know the trick to getting the asp.net app talking to the database again? I'm using Windows Authentication. I have verified that Management Studio Express is what is messing up my connection. Any help is appreciated.

I have already become aware that I must disconnect from the database (in Management Studio Express) for the web app to connect properly. I have already tried that. Same error. So far for me, it seems that simply attaching to the database with Management Studio Express breaks my database connectivity.

Is Local Admin Required For C# Express/SQL Express?

Mar 10, 2007

I have been trying to get Visual Studio Express w/C# to work with SQL Express. If I run with my normal local privs set to Debug User, I get a Login Failed message when I try to add a SQL database using the Add Item feature from the Solution Explorer. If I set my account to run as local administrator, everything works as expected. I am unable to connect to anything from the Database Explorer as well unless I am local admin.

I can run the SQL Express management utilities with no trouble when logged in as Debug User, and everything else in Visual Studio seems to work OK as well.

Is there a cure for this? I keep preaching to my users about the dangers of running as local admin, so I would feel uneasy about doing so myself just to be able to use VS Express.

I have SQL Express running on my laptop but are unable to connect to the default database paulm-laptopsqlexpress

When I try to connect I get the error message
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

Everything is on my laptop whcih is running Vista Business as an administrator

Any ideas why,

Direct Connection To Local SQL Express Gives Error

May 17, 2006

I'm just starting out here.
I created a simple formview connected to a local file copy of the database by adding the database into the project.  It worked fine.
However, I noticed that this copy of the database was not synch'ing with the database with the same name in SQL express.  So I created a new connections string to access the SQL database directly out of SQL express.  Its just a simple Select * from column.  However, this gives an error.  Why?
Server Error in '/NETCatMgr' Application.


The data types ntext and nvarchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The data types ntext and nvarchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
 
This is the connection string
<add name="CatalogMgrConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=mymachinesqlexpress;Initial Catalog=CatalogSQL;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 
Doesn't make sense.  How can the formview work fine with the SQL integrated into the project but not working with a connection string to the SQL Express proper???

Only Local Access To SQL Server 2005 Express Ed. ?

Aug 2, 2007

Hello!
I run an application with a SQL Server 2005 Express edition.

I read under

Start menu
--> all programs
--> Microsoft SQL Server Express
--> Configuration Tools
--> SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration
--> Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections
--> Database Engine
--> Remote Connections

That:
"By default, SQL SERver 2005 Express, Evaluation and Developer editions allow local client connetctions only. Enterprise, Standard and Workgroup editions also listens for remote client connections over TCP/IP. Use the options below to change the protocols on which SQL Server listens for incoming client connections. TCP/UP is preferred over named pipes because it requeres fewer ports to be opened across the firewall."


Here I chose the option "Local and remote connections only, using TCP/IP only".


But still, does this mean that other users can't connect to my database since I'm running the Express edition?

If that's the case, could this be changed by using mySQL instead?

Is it hard to transfer a MS SQL Server .mdf database file into a new mySQL database?

SQL Express 2005 SP2 And Local Service Account

Mar 13, 2007

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.

With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.

Here's the command line I'm using:

SQLEXPR.EXE /QB ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=FOO SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=BAR SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"

It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?

Is this even supported?

SQL 2005 Express Local Admin Access Denied

I am using a standard installation of SQL 2005 Express installed with Visual C# Express. I have tried several connection strings, have tried connecting different databases, all of which end up giving me access denied for user <machineName>Greg (Greg is the local admin account for this PC.

Detach Database File From Local SQL Server Express Instance By C#?

Jan 30, 2008

I am using the following C# code to establish a SQL connect to a SQL database file:

// connection string
// attach a SQL database file to a local SQL server express instance
string _connectionString = @"Server=.SQLExpress; AttachDbFilename=C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf; Trusted_Connection=Yes; User Instance=True";

// using System.Data.SqlClient;
SqlConnection _sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(_connectionString);
// open the connection
_sqlConnection.Open();

// do something

// close the connection
_sqlConnection.Close();

So far, the connection works fine.

However, next, I want to copy the database file to another folder. So the following codes:
// source database file name
string sourceDatabaseFileName = @"C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf";
// target database file name
string targetDatabaseFileName = @"D:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf";
// copy database file
System.IO.File.Copy(sourceDatabaseFileName, targetDatabaseFileName, true);

Then the program came with runtime exception: "IOException was unhandled: The process cannot access the file 'C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf' because it is being used by another process."


Is it because the database file was sill attached to the local SQL Server express instance? What can I do to bypass this problem? Detach the database file? or dispose the local SQL Server express instance?

Many thanks indeed!

Unattended Express Upgrade Changes Service Accounts To Local System

Jan 7, 2008

Hi There

I am doing an unattended upgrade of Sql Express with Advanced Services SP1.
Before the upgrade the services run under domain accounts.
I use the following command :

start /wait setup UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINUser SQLPASSWORD=p@ssw0rd ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_SSMSEE /qn

However after the ugrade the service accounts are running under local system.

Documentation is unclear, i find the following:

; The services for SQL Server and Analysis Server are set auto start. To use the *ACCOUNT settings
; make sure to specify the DOMAIN, e.g. SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINNAMEACCOUNT
; NOTE: When installing SQL_Engine 3 accounts are REQUIRED: SQLACCOUNT, AGTACCOUNT and SQLBROWSERACCOUNT.
; SQLACCOUNT Examples:
; SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser>
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"

To my knowledge the <> is not required.
Can someone please help as i cannot get the services accounts to run under a domain user after upgrade.

Thanx

Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen

Oct 2, 2007

We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.

Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Noob Question About SQL Server Express Used Local And On Server.

May 25, 2007

I have just started looking at using a database with my web site.  If I have SQL Server Express with the Advanced Services on my local machine and I use it to make interactive pages, can I use the schema and tables on the actual web site on a remote server?  If so does that server need to have SQL Server Express installed too?
A link to a tutorial or reference that goes into some detail would be awsome!

SQL 7 And BDE Connectivity

Sep 3, 2001

Hi,

I am responsible for an application that uses the Borland Database Engine to connect clients to the database server - it's called SalesLogix. I am in the process of upgrading the databases in the working environment to SQL 7 from SQL 6.5 and on the whole it has been (relatively) successful, however I have a majorly inconvenient issue with a few client machines. Occasionally, after upgrading the SQL client and having upgraded the database server I cannot make a connection any longer and instead when I try through the BDE I am presented with the message 'General SQL Error' and the BDE error code for a general SQL error, and nothing more. It has only happened on a couple of machines, but with no apparent pattern. The clients can still connect to SQL 6.5 databases as long as the SQL 6.5 client utilities are still installed so I don't know what to think. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Anthony
