Command Line Installation Of SQL Server 2005 Express With Advanced Features
Oct 19, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to install SQL Express 2005 with Reporting Services using Install Shield 11.5. The command line parameters which i am using is:
/qn ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,RS_Server,RS_Web_Interface,Client_Components SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=<password> DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 RSCONFIGURATION=Default RSSQLLOCAL=1 AUTOSTART=1
It installs the SQL Server and Reporting Services. It configures (creates Virtual Directories for report server and database) but it is not initializing the Report Server.
Having done the installation when i check the Report Server Status it was running and everything seems to be OK except it wasn't initialized.
Any idea??
Thanks,
Moby.
MsiInstaller Errors: SQL 2005 Express With Advanced Features
May 22, 2006My machine environment is as follows:
- Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP1
- IIS 6.0 with some "classic ASP" applications running under it (not ASP.NET)
- SQL Server 2000 Client (Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer etc)
- .NET Framework Runtime 1.1 & 2.0
- Visual Studio.NET 2003 & 2005
I've never installed (or even trusted) any beta/CTP version of either Visual Studio or SQL 2005 (or any other MS trial products for that matter) on my machine.
Initially I installed SQL 2005 Express, and then the RTM version of SQL Management Studio Express.
Later i found this "SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Features" download, and figured that this must be a roll-up of all those features (and then some), so i removed all the old SQL 2005 components and installed this SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE.
I did this twice: the first time with Reporting Services; then removed the whole thing due to errors to be described below; the second time without RS.
The installation process itself is relatively painless, but after it's completed, whenever I open an ASP page from the local IIS server, dozens of warning messages like this would show up in the eventlog:
1.

I can use the Management Studio Express to create a database and tables, but having tons of errors flooding my eventlog is still a serious problem.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
By the way, I think the total experience with SQL 2005 installation is far worse than SQL 2000, which is a very mature product. It seems that SQL 2005 was rushed out of the door to meet some deadlines so quality was seriously comprised as a result. Sending out a service pack less than 6 months after the RTM release is a testament to this conclusion, right?
Features Not Supported In Compatibility Level 80 Of SQL Server 2005
Oct 23, 2007Hello All,
I am in the process of upgrading my current database in SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. I have finished my analysis using the upgrade advisor and have found a lot of SPs having upgrade related issues. From what I estimate I think it will take around 3-4 weeks to resolve all of those issues. I wanted a quicker way to upgrade my database since we have very little time for the final release. The main reason for upgrade to 2005 was use of new features like Database Mirroring and/or peer to peer replication alongwith the Partitioning features and the new T-SQL enhancements.
The question I wanted to ask was does the compatibility level 80 of SQL Server 2005 supports these new features.
From what I have read on the KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822400 is that mirroring is supported in any compatibility level, but there is no specific mention on the peer to peer thing.
Also when I personally tried using the New Partitioning Features of 2005 on the database having compatibility 80, it worked fine. Also other features like SQLCLR and TRY...CATCH works fine.
One thing I observed was that new T-SQL statements like PIVOT/UNPIVOT is not supported
It will be nice if someone can give out the entire list of features that will be supported in the compatibility Level 80 and also the list of the ones that are not supported.
Thanks in Advance,
Mitesh

SQL Management Studio Express: Missing Features
Jul 6, 2006Much of the (full) SQL Management Studio tutorial works fine, until I come to "projects and solutions", which are supposed to be creatable at File - New ?
Found a list of missing features for the "Express" version, but that just tells of rather sophisticated stuff only.
Did I get something wrong?
SQL Express With Advanced Services - What Reporting Features Does It Have?
Mar 14, 2006I work for an ISV, and some of our customers use SQL Server, others use SQL Server Express. I need to develop some reports, so I was happy to read that SQL Express with Advanced Services would have some (limited?) Reporting Services available. Unfortunately, the sign-up period to beta test appears to be over, and so I am left wondering exactly what functions will be available. Is there anyone out there who has played around with the beta version reporting functions?

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?
Aug 8, 2006When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

View 1 Replies View RelatedEdited Data Won't Propagate Back To The Database (VB 2005 Express && SQL Server 2005 Express)
Dec 11, 2006
Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,

For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Sep 28, 2006Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Problems Of Remote Connections For Creating A SQLCLR Project In SQL Server Express-ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express Via Network/LAN
Sep 19, 2007Hi all,
In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC.
1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.
2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

I got the following error messages:
SecurityException was unhandled
Request for the permission of type 'System. Security. Permissions.FileIOPermission,mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'failed that is pointing to the code statement "Dim int1 As Integer = InStr (My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "bin")."
Troubleshooting tips:
Store application data in isolated storage.
When deploying an Office solution, check to make sure you have fulfilled all necessary requirments.
Use a certificate to obtain the required permission(s).
If an assembly implementing the custom security references other assemblies, add the referenced assemblies to the full trust assembly list.
Get general help for the exception.
I am a new Microsoft VS.NET Express user to do the SQL Server 2005 Express and VB 2005 Express programming by using the example of a tutorial book. Please help and tell me what is wrong in my SQLCLR sep-up and project coding and how to correct the problems.
Many Thanks in advance,

How To Install SQL Server 2005 Express Downloaded With VS 2008 Express
May 7, 2008Downloading and installing VS 2008 Express also created a Miscrosoft SQL Server folder. How do I install the SQL Server 2005 Express?The following is what I found from the HELP menu bar of the VS 2008 Express. Where can I find the sqlexpr.exe?
TIA,Jeffrey
To install SQL Server Express To begin installation, double-click sqlexpr.exe. Note: SQL Server Express is available as a self-extracting executable file (sqlexpr.exe) from both the Visual Studio 2005 CD and the SQL Server Express Web site. SQLEXPR.EXE installs on x86-based computers and to the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64). For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements (SQL Server Express)
Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express
Mar 10, 2006I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<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)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.
