SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition Limitations
Nov 20, 2007
Dear,
I'm building an ASP.NET application using C# language and SQL Server 2000.
This application is dedicated to be hosted on a VIsta Machine.
Unfortunately Vista does not supports SQL SERVER 2000 so i must migrate to the SQL SERVER 2005. Since the application is a small application, we couldn't afford buying an SQL SERVER 2005 License so i decided to use SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition. But i would like to know exactly what are the Limitation on the Express Edition to see if it will work with my application or No.
Please Can anyone refer any document that describes in details all the limitation of the Express Edition ???
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I'm trying to find out what the limitations of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (DE) are. I've gone through the Microsoft SQL Server site and they have very little information about the developer edition.Is there a connection limit for DE like 2000 did?

Hello..
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..
Best regards,
VITRELLE

I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Björn

Hello,
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Albert

I am currently downloading the mega-sized files for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and was wondering if I was going to be able to install it onto my workstation alongside the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition? Was hoping someone could advise. I did browse for an answer, but have not come across it yet. I know I'll find out once my download is complete, but that could be awhile :)
Thanks,

SQL Express Ed is limited to one CPU, what happens if the CPU is a dual core CPU? Does SQL Express care? Does it see a dual core as a single CPU?
As for memory, stupid question, SQL Express is limited to 1 GB RAM, if I run it on a server with say 4GB of ram packed into it, will it affect SQL Express' performance? Will SQL Express even run if there is more than 1GB available? Or will SQL Express simply ignore the extra RAM with no negative consequences?
Thanks,
Andy

I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

HI, My computer keeps trying to download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 and fails with the error code 0x2B22. It is a new computer running with Windows XP Pro.
I have spent hours searching the forums and the internet, but I can't find anything to help, or I don't understand the solutions or whether they relate to my computer. I don't know how to find out why the update is failing either.
Please can someone help!!
Thank you!

I was looking around, and I found this info on SQL Server Express:The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log
files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be
attached to the server.Does this mean I can use several different databases in my website, like one separate db containing forum entries, and one with user details and related stuff?

Hello
I am a newbie to this list and hope this gets posted. Sent one out yesterday which never saw the light of day!
In my installation here, I have the security database ASPNETDB.mdb and to keep things independent and robust, I created another database MYDATADB.mdb.
Now, I have a requirement to maintain a custom USERS table in MYDATADB. To meet this requirement, I tried creating an ON INSERT trigger on the ASPNET_USERS table.
However, when I say 'INSERT INTO MYDATADB.dbo.USERS ......', within the trigger body, I get an error saying 'Invalid object'. It seems that MYDATADB is not visible from ASPNETDB. Could there be any other reason for this error?
Are these two databases similar to separate servers? Do I have to create a server group or something -- or a data link of some sort? Please advise and thanks!

I am building an application using sql server express. The .mdf file is located in my appdata directory and connection string is stored in the web.config. Here is an the connection string
<add name="blogConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|log.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
The application runs great locally on my personal computer debugging with Visual Studio 2005 but when i put it on our dev server i get the following error. I would use full blown Sql 2005 but our client doesnt have it. I thought if you had sql 2005 installed on the server you didnt have to install the express edition. Any insight?
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)

Hi
I have installed SQL Server 2005 Ex.Ed. sp1. To upgrade to SP2, I have first to uninstall my SQL Server and then reinstall???
Isn't there a patch for SP2, that I don't have to uninstall?
If I try to install "SQLEXPR32_DEU.EXE" anyway, I receive the following message:
TITEL: Microsoft SQL Server-Setup
------------------------------
Keines der ausgewählten Features kann installiert oder aktualisiert werden. Das Setup kann nicht fortgesetzt werden, da am Computer keine effektiven Änderungen vorgenommen werden. Um den Vorgang fortzusetzen, klicken Sie auf 'Zurück', und wählen Sie dann zu installierende Features aus. Klicken Sie auf 'Abbrechen', um das SQL Server-Setup zu beenden.
Hilfe erhalten Sie durch Klicken auf: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.3042.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=SQLSetup90&EvtType=28108
Translation:
No selected features could be installed or updated. Setup can't be continued, because no effective changes on computer can't be made. To continue the process click 'back'....
Thanks for any help in advance.

This is a question about the movie collection starter So here it is:
I am running Vista RC1 (Build 5600) and vb express 2005
I downloaded and install SQL Server Express 2005 Edition SP2 - Since SQL Server Express 2005 Edition SP1 does not work with Vista
But when I try to run the collection app or if I try to download and install the Amazon version I get the following error message:
There was a problem loading data: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be cause 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)
I need any advice you can give me to solve this problem, how to change the default settings, because I do not know where to start.
Thanks

Hi,
I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.
I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.
Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.
Thanks for your help.
