SQL Express To SQL Developer

Started With Express, But Installed Developer And Don't See Developer Instance...

I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.

Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?

I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...

Thanks,

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
 Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
 When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
 Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
 
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Problem Connecting To Sql Express Database From Visual Web Developer Express

Why Can't I See My Web Developer Express Database From SQL Server Management Studio Express?

Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be?

Visual Web Developer 2005 Express -- With SQL Server Developer 2005?

Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?



I
was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use
with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that
the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if
that is true?



What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web
application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL
Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions
for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs
personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this
for my home business.



Thanks for any advice,

Keith

Using SQL Server 2005 Express In Visual Web Developer Express

I have installed Visual Web Developer Express and its companion SQL Server 2005 Express in my Windows XP Professional box.

Now I want to create a database using Visual Web Developer. I opened the Database Explorer and right clicked on Data Connections icon but what I am seeing is an inactive "Create new database" command.

How can I make it active ? How to create a database using my Visual Web Developer?

Using SQL Express With Visual Web Developer

Hi,    Can I use Sql Express Edition with Visual Web Developer at the same time? I tried but I always get a permission error. Also, when I try to attach a database (that I created in Visual Web Developer) to the SQL Express i cant find the .mdf file, I don't know why? Is there is a way where I can specify a folder where I can keep the mdf and allow both applications to access it? 

SQL Server For Developer And Sql Express

Hi Guys,

I am just getting crazy, crazy and crazy again!!!!

I just installed SQL server for developers.

With it I can open and build databases on the sql-server but not on the sql-express.


With visual studio 2008 I can open and create database with sql-express but not with sql-server


Why is that?

Why do I have to suffer so much??? What the hell I have done??? Why these products are so badly designed!!!

Install Both Sql Express And Developer Edition ?

Can I have both of them installed ? I work on applications sometimes on two different machines. One has Visual studio w/ sql 2005 developer edition, the other with express editions of both. Can I install sql express on my workstation that already has developer edition ?

SQL Server Express To SQL Developer Edition

I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite and have SQL Server Express installed from the initial setup. I would like to replace the Express edition with SQL Server 2005 Developer edition. I am currently developing for SQL 2000 and also have Enterprise Manager installed locally. Will the Developer edition install offer the option to unistall the Express edition (I don't need both installed)? Or do I need to uninstall Express manually and then install Developer. Also is there anything I have to be wary of in terms of making sure I am still able to debug SQL 2000 sprocs etc. in VS?

Can't Connect With Visual Web Developer Express

When attempting to use VWD Express' built-in web server I recieve the following error in browser window:
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I've done the following:

Followed advise on How to: Configure Express to accept remote connections

Retrieved port_address from SQL Server Configuration Manager (i.e. SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS > Select TCP/IP Protocol name > RT click on Properties > IPALL - TCP Dynamic Ports port_address

netstat -ano | findstr "port_address" shows the following

TCP 0.0.0.0:2247<-port_address 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1620

Attempted to connect to SQLEXPRESS service using dynamically assigned port_address with this command

F:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>SQLCMD -S .sqlexpress,2247

HResult 0x2AF9, Level 16, State 1
TCP Provider: No such host is known.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.


I can successfully connect to SQLEXPRESS using SQLCMD with flags
- S .sqlexpress
and
-S np:\:\.pipeMSSQL$SQLEXPRESSsqlquery (named pipes)

Using VWD Database Explorer I have connected to my SQL Server 2005 Express databases and the Test Connection button on the Modify Connection form reports the connection strings are good. Lastly SQL connection string property field User Instance = True and neither database resides in "My Documents" folder.

Questions:

Does VWD local web server require configuration?

Is this a Named Pipe or TCP/IP configuration problem? Should Shared Memory be disabled?

Should I give up on VWD local webserver and install IIS instead?

Connect Vb Express To SQL2005 Developer Ed?

Excuse the cross post (to VBexpress fourum) but maybe someone here will have a different take?

have searched all around can't seem to see how to configure a SQL2005 developer ed so I can use vb express to develop a local front end. keep getting "the user instance login flag is not supported on this version of sql server" I have configured the .net framework via aspnet_regsql.exe. Also I configured the "Machine.config" file. but so far no luck.

Selecting sql2005 as the server thru the add new database connection in advanced area yields the error message

surely there is away.



So far still no joy,

While Scotty indicates that the connection to SQL2005 is intentionally hampered other posters indicate that the user instance problem can be solved by running the .net config tool to add the asp database to sql server, which I have done.

However this does not yet work.

I cannot get the code to spark yet.

Again my configuration cannot be any simpler. sql express sp1 and sqldeveloper on the same machine using windows security (all installed with default cofigurations)

In the absence of other ideas I may try to get sql express downloaded and going, I'm not sure what issues that will present re: what I'm trying to develop.

I'm trying to develop the skills to replace some fairly involved reporting and some user table interface that I had going in access2003, I hate to pruchace a big piece of sw when I don't know if it will remove the current roadblocks...

Appreciate the help here, but doesn't someone have a "simpler" complete answer? I.e. one that would get the developer database to accept the connection wizard? (user instance issue)

Install Developer Edition &&amp; Express?

Hi: I have installed SQL 2005 Developer Edition and VS 2005. Do I need to also install SQL 2005 Express edition too?????

My version of VS2005 is proffesional. I cannot seem to find SQL 2005 Developer Edition in the Server Explorer of VS2005. So I am wondering if I need to install SQL 2005 Express. Before I had SQL 2000 and MSDE installed with VS2003 and there was no problem.

Thanks

Web App Runs Fine When Using Web Developer Express, But, Won't Run From Browser

SSIS - SQL Server Developer To Express Edition

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use SQL Server Developer Edition to produce SSIS packages that will operate on a remote SQL Server Express Edition database?

The situation is such that it is easiest to install a SQL Server Express Edition database on a remote server (for use within a company intranet) due to server availability and licensing restrictions. It would be great to be able to do Excel round trips with the data though - would it be possible to use SQL Server Developer Edition to do this on another computer, and have it update the data in the Express database?

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,
Ray Muirhead

Express And Developer - Performance Counter Errors

I installed Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, which includes SQL Server Express. I then installed the Developer edition of SQL Server over the top, as that's the edition I wanted. I now get four errors in my Application event log whenever I boot Windows:

MSSQLSERVER - Performance counter shared memory setup failed with error -1. Reinstall sqlctr.ini for this instance, and ensure that the instance login account has correct registry permissions.
MSSQLSERVER - Error in mapping SQL Server performance object/counter indexes to object/counter names. SQL Server performance counters are disabled.
MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS - Performance counter shared memory setup failed with error -1. Reinstall sqlctr.ini for this instance, and ensure that the instance login account has correct registry permissions.
MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS - Error in mapping SQL Server performance object/counter indexes to object/counter names. SQL Server performance counters are disabled.

Any idea what's causing this problem and how I can fix it?

Thanks

Reinstall Sql Server Express After Developer Edition

I had to uninstall SQl Server 2005 Developer Edition because of hardware requirements, and reinstall Express Edition download version.

But SQL Server Database Services fails with this message:

SQL Server Setup has determined that the following account properties are not specified: 'AGTACCOUNT' . Error Code: 28006.

The first time I installed Express the flow of setup ended well without any message. How to act?

Upgrading From Express To Developer Edition, All Messed Up Now !

Import SQL Server Express Database Into Visual Web Developer

I can access an SQL Server 2005 database from VWD, but for ease of uploading to a server and to maintain the database within just VWD environment would like to import it directly into VWD and its App_Data folder from the local machine SQL Server.
I guess this is more than copy and paste ('especially since this is not allowed becase the database is being used by another program').
I've seen posts about the reverse process but not this way. Any simple pointers please?

Does Visual Web Developer Express Edition Works With Ms 2000 Database Service?

I have made my website using SQL Server Express edition. It is totally database driven and manypages use databases to display data. My problem is that after paying for webhosting fees my web host told me that they do not support SQL Server express edition. Instead they have support for MySQL and Ms Access. Except that there is this MS 2000 Database service for an additional cost. Any recommendations what I should do except changing the host? If I pay for MS 2000 Database servicem, will my website work? My user management(i.e ASPNETDB database) was created by Visual Web developer and I don't want to do user management myself. Any advice?
