SQL Server Express Starter Kits (Sample Applications)
Aug 30, 2007
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.

I am new to sql server express editions. starter kits and Sample applications link provided in the sites are not working. Can anyone provide me the alternate link where I can dwnld them from
I'm trying to practice with the website starter kits using Visual Studio 2005. But so far, I haven't been able to run the mentioned websites because the connection they use is against SQL Server Express...
I don't have SQL Server Express. Instead, what I have installed is SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
I'm not even able to use the new APS.NET WeSAT application to administer the sites because allway get the "Time out" error.
Do any of you know how to resolve this whole situation?
Im trying to use VB.net 2005 to write a sample app to access a DB. Are there any samples for this and any samples of how I go about making the DB in the first place?
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
Can I develop applications with SQL Server Express that I have more than one user in several computers working with the same database on a server, or I can only develop applications with only one user with a local database with SQL Server Express?
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.
Hi; 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
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.
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?
I am trying to get Classifieds Starter Kit work in SQL Server 2005. I did following:
1. Create DBs; The sql scripts came with the starter kit in the App_Data folder. 2. To create aspnetdb: aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S localhost -A mr 3. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager. Select "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration | Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" then enable the protocols 'TCP/IP' and possibly 'Named Pipes' 4. My connections string <add name="classifiedsConnection" connectionString="Data Source=MyServerName;;User ID=user;Password=pass;Initial Catalog=ClassAds" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I still get the following error when I debug the application: 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've run into a bit of a sticky design issue. We have products inthree categories which I will call 'A', 'B' and 'C'. We have "kits"which contain three products, one from each category.Below is some sample SQL to set things up, but I need to ensure thateach kit gets three products -- one from each category. Obviously,this basic SQL doesn't allow that. Any suggestions? Do I need adifferent schema design, or is there something else I should belooking at?Cheers,CurtisCREATE TABLE category (id int identity primary key,name varchar(30));CREATE TABLE products (id int identity primary key,name varchar(30),category_id int references category(id));CREATE TABLE kits (id int identity primary key,name varchar(30));CREATE TABLE kit_products (kit_id int references kits(id),product_id int references products(id));
Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
If there are 2 different web application connecting to a sql server database through ODBC connection, both of them have full privilege to update , create , add column etc. Would there any issues of SQL server impacts when actually on live.
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.
Our company wants to run web based application in folowing way.
Browser --> WebServer -->Sql Server
Sql server is part part of corporation domain and has about 25 more databases
Should we dedicate extra SQL server to run Web apps , or it would be safe to run web apps on corporation Sql Server? or If any one can point on links on this subject?. Thank you
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

Hi All, I have a problem with the Club Starter kit that I downloaded from the SQL Server Express Site. I installed the VSI into VS2005 but when I try to save the project, VS puts up a dialog with "Unable to complete Operation." The project runs OK within VS but any changes I make are lost when the app closes because it won't save.
I know this does not appear to be a SQL Server Express problem but I'm wondering if anyone else has used the starter kit and experienced the same problem, and more importantly, how to fix it.
Does anyone know if two different database belong to two different applications stay in the same physical SQL server 7.0 with one server license would affect their performance?
Would the performance be better off if each database stored in different physical SQL Server 7.0 with different server license?
Is it ok to use SQL Server 2005 CE as an embedded DBMS inside a desktop (Windows XP / w2k3 / Vista) application?
The whitepaper available here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/4/7/A47B7B0E-976D-4F49-B15D-F02ADE638EBE/Compact_Express_Comparison.doc describes this as one of the primary usages of the product. However, I've seen information elsewhere on this forum that seems to imply that SQL Server 2005 CE is not allowed in desktop applications.
Can you please clarify this, and specify any limitations of this usage?
Also, the whitepaper refers to an online redistribution agreement that needs to be signed in order to freely redistribute SQL Server 2005 CE inside a commercial application. Can you please point to this agreement?

2. I just like to install Sql Server 2005 on a test pc also. Can I use my Developer Edition Applications Developer Tools to install it ?
We want to install 2 applications that run on SQL server 2005 but the requirement of database installation are different Collation setting ( One require Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252 Character Set and other require Dictionary order, case-sensitive, for use with the 437 (US English) Character set). So the question here could I install both two applications successfully on same platform ? and if yes how?
