I had a modified dashCommerce application using SQL Server Express and set up on a dedicated server running Win 2003. We just upgraded to a new machine (also Win 2003). I installed SqlServer Express, moved over the files, and detached/attached the database files. Now I'm having problems. I think the install file from the original dashCommerce does more than set up the database, I think it installs some other stuff as well, so I uploaded it to a domain I'm not using and ran the install. I'm hoping it resolves these issues. But I can't get past creating the database part.
It didn't have permissions to create the database, so I did that. Now I'm getting another error:
Cannot open database "Commerce" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'SV2434wespeakout.com_web'.
I don't remember having this problem before. And I can't find any information on creating logins that I can follow. The web.config has this:
<add name="CommerceTemplate" connectionString="Server=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Commerce;Integrated Security=true;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
What do I need to do to get this working?

All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?
I have SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed in a Microsoft Windows XP Pro PC that is a terminal PC in our office Network. My Network Administrator has granted my terminal PC for Administrator Use. I tried to do the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my terminal PC and I could not get a remote connection in the Window Form Application via Window Authorization. I do not know how to make this kind of remote connection in my Network. Please help and advise.

Hi, I am relatively new to this. I have installed VB 2005 and that has installed a version of SQL Server 2005 Express on my local development machine. I am using VB to develop some demo sites and i can create DB's in the App_Data file and they work when I test and run then by pressing Ctrl + F5. However i have some demo tutorials that require Northwind and Pubs to do them. So i have installed Northwind and Pubs using the cms prompt and the InstNwnd.sql install. They said everything has been installed fine. This is where the problem starts. I open new connection in VB, or asses for that matter and try to open my local server machine (just my desktop running WindowsXP pro), Which is called Optiplex. Sometimes i get the optiplex appear in the dropdown that asks for your to choose a server and other times it doesnt. Eevn if the machine appears it doesnt let me chose Pubs or northwind from the second drop down. I think i must have SQexpress running on the machined named Optiplex because i have the SQL server configuartion manger on it. That tells me i am running SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser both switched on and running. By the way i have set my SQL manager to run as Local service. One thing that i consider strange is that when i have had SQLServer Express running on other machines normally there was a little icon running in the right hand corner of the the task bar. Does anyone know what is going on with my mchine and have i got the SQL server setup correctly? Just one last piece of additionally information is that i have a folder called C:SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases which is where the MDF files are located. Thanks a million Sanson
The last connection string I used is: Server=192.168.0.3;Initial Catalog=dbase;User ID=guest;
In the connection string I added port 1433, servername instead IP, different users id...but can´t connect. I can ping visualstudio emulator from sql server, now are in the same lan but in future pda have to connect to
server using gprs.
Where is the error??
Thanks in advance.
PS. I´m reading some post that indicates SQL Server Express doesn´t allow any remote connection?

I am having trouble connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express using ASP.NET written in VB.NET (1.1 Framework) in VS2003. I am trying to programmatically connect to the SQL Server. Since this is a redistributable web application and I don't want to rewrite the connection string every time I distribute a copy, is there any way to automatically get a connection string without prompting the end user for one? I can get the server name and the data base name, but I don't know how to get a username. It returns an error saying SERVERASPNET can't log on. Can anyone help?
I am using SQL server express 2005. I can drag and drop a grid control on to my web form and choose the data source to point to a SQL server database. Then datais nicely displayed on my web form. Now I need to manually create my connection to the database as I need to read from a text file and then populatea database table with those values I read from the text file. I have not had any success with this though and I am stuck and need some help. Below is my C# code and I list the web.config code where my connection string is stored. Note that I can trace into the C# line of code below. If I then do a "Quick Watch" on "myConnection" in the debugger, the followingerror message is displayed: ServerVersion 'myConnection.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' string {System.InvalidOperationException} So I don't know what the problem is here. If someone can help me out I would be forever thankfull
C# code: SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["TheDividerConnectionString"]);
Here is the connection string as defined in the web.config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="TheDividerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BVCOMPUTERSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TheDivider;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>

Hi!I have two servers, the web (with IIS - win2003) and the test dataserver (winXPpro with SQL Express)I'm trying to connect to the db but with no success...here is the connection string I'm using:sConn = "Driver=SQLNCLI;Server=marco-serverSQLEXPRESS;Database=grimp;Uid=grimpuser;Pwd=somePassword;"I get this:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and nodefault driver specifiedI've tried also with Driver={SQL Native Client} but I get the sameerror.do I have to install something on the web server???
I am a new to SQL server express, although i have been using SQL server 2003 for development purpose. I just recently installed express and would like to connect to it but can't. I've downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Management Studio Express, SQL Server Native Client, MSXML 6.0 Parser and .Net Framework 2.0.
When i setup my ODBC driver and test the connection i get the "test failed" message:

I also get the following message from the SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Any help on slving this problem will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have installed SQL server 2005 express on my main server.
It has been installed with windows authentication.
I can use sqlcmd -S machinenameinstancename to connect to the server, but when I try to connect from another machine on my lan, I get the error about user not part of trusted sql connection msg 18452 level 14 state 1
I have tried using a windows username and password from my server to access it but that fails also.
I now use SQL server express version. Ive installed it and it seems to work ok ie created tables, basic queries and inserts into tables. HAve you ever connected the database to applications.I tried using ODBC SQL server options and i get back errors 1231 and 17. Essentially im tring to connnect ASP scripts to tables. I am also creating groups since it seems to be a security problem.Do you think that will help? Do you have any idea how to fix the erroors?? I am using windows authentication.
I'm working with classic ASP and am having a terrible time trying to get a proper connection string working with my database. Could someone please advise me on how to get the following code to connect to my database (which is using Windows Authentication)?
If fileSize > 0 Then ' Connection string Dim connStr connStr = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=Dell-LaptopSQLEXPRESS;Database=Upload;Trusted_Connection=yes;" ' Recordset object Dim rs Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs.Open "Files", connStr, 2, 2
Right now the error I'm receiving is: "SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
The exception message is: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
I have placed the application on a network drive ( just copying it not using publisher) and from my PC the application works fine. However when I try to run the application from any other machine on the same network the connection fails with an . On looking at this message the problem appear to be because the sqlclient code cannot get permission to the database.
Both machines are using the same exe and have similar set-ups. Other Windows applications written in C# and accessing the same database work perfectly on both machines.
I have tried connection using both SQl Server Login id's and windows authentication with no effect
If I publish the application to the network it appears to work perfectly!! As the application is to be called by other apps I would really like to just call the exe not the full published version
My machine has both SqlServer express manager and VS so my question is - does anybody know of a reason why a console application will not work on a PC where a windows application works correctly?
Sorry this is so long but I have tried to include all the details - please ask if you need any further info.
I am confused with the error massage as my conncection string is set to connect on UserID = Kit
I am not sure what is gone wrong. The same VB6 program runs perfectly on host machine
I am not sure is there anything to do with SQL Config. Manager's SQL server 2005 service's Log-ON setting:
Log On as - Build-in account: Network service
could Anyone who managed to get remote connection work give me some advise?? I am desperate. have read that weblog many times and do not know how to get it work
I dont have the SQL EXPRESS installed instead I have SQL Standard Edition.

I have developed a database in MS SQL Server 2005 Express, to which I would require only bulkadmin server role from an external java application, because I only need to update rows, insert values or use select queries in the database.
The problem is that, using either the Microsoft JDBC Driver 1.1 or the Java JDBC ODBC Driver and the Windows XP Data Base (ODBC) configurations, I need a user with sysadmin server role inside Sql Server, otherwise JDBC won't connect to the database using the selected user. Even if I leave the sql login with setupadmin or any server role lower than sysadmin, the connection is refused.
Is there no way to connect using JDBC to MS Sql Server 2005 other than granting the connected user sysadmin rights? My code looks as follows:
Class.forName(driver); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password); if (conn != null) System.out.println("SQL Server Connection established ...");
I have heard that Java JDBC connections to Microsoft require high-level access.
Any informed answer is more than welcome. Thanks for reading my post!
i've installed SQL server 2005 express and Visual web developper 2005 express.
when i whant to create a database in VWD the following error occures:
connection to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL server express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251
i searched the internet but can't find the solution, i already reinstalled my complete workstation but the problem stays.
I've serached this forum and Google'd for a resolution to this issue, to no avail. Here's the scenario: I'm running VS 2005 on Windows Media Center laptop and need to create ASP.net membership for my web application built using VB. I have SQL Server Developer installed with instance name MSSQLSERVER. Previously, I uninstalled SQL Express and installed Developer edition and can now open and utilize Management Studio.
Now, when I try to create a new SQL Server database in my solution's App_Data directory, I receive the above error. I already changed instance name in VS2005 per Tools-Options-Database Tools-Data Connections to MSSQLSERVER.
Could someone provide me with a list of procedures to ensure proper setup of VS2005 with SQL Server Developer Edition?
I just started evaluation of the server and meet the fist problem. I searched the forum however most answers related to use SQL Server manager and security tab. Note I use the express edition which has no manager, but only configuration manager. There is no security tab. So can somebody help in setting up trusted accounts for SQL server express edition?
does anyone kbnow the connection string used to connect to the database in sql server 2005 express? can someone one give me sample codes for it? thanks.
Hi, I use a Remote Sql Server Express instance, and I have a strange behavior.. The first connection is really slow and I don't know how to fix that.I read some posts about this topic but I didn't find the right solution.Is there a way to "keep alive" the connection between my IIS server and the SQL one ?I check the auto-close property and it sets to false. Any help ? Stan
This is a bit of a cross-post from the VS 2005 Forum, but we don't have a forum dedicated to SQL Server 2005...This is on my test machine running Windows XP Pro SP2 (NTFS),I have an existing SQL 2000 database located on a separate hard drive dedicated to data -- the e: drive.I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express, in the default installation directory (c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server) and I cannot connect to that database on the e: drive. Named pipes, error: 40 (Remote access services are not installed by default).I don't want the database physically located on the c: drive.I've been looking all over for the solution for this, and can't find it.Advice or direction to reference materials would be appreciated.Tinker
I`ve installed Visual C# 2005 Express edition for evaluation reasons. After that I also installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition also for evaluation. I then downloaed the installation scripts for the Northwind database and tried to install them. Unfortunately, every time I try to execute these scripts I get the error :
C:SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases>osql -E -i instnwnd.sql [SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. [SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired [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.
I`ve enabled named pipes in the configuration utility, but to no avail. This is also no firewall problem. It just can`t connect to SQL server. Anybody with similar problems or a possible remedy?
Is it possible to connect to a sql server express over internet or not ?
- I am using a win2003 sp1 server. Freshly installed. - The server is directly connected to internet. - For the purpose of the test, I stopped the windows firewall and the IPSec service. - I stopped SQL server Browser service. - I find a free port (here : 1401) - I activated TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I have selected 1401 as the TCP port in the IPAll sextion of TCP/IP protection (and I remove the '0' of the dynamic TCP Port). - Restarted SQL server express...
In the sql server log, I get the message "Serveur Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1401]"
But I never get an answer from the server.
sqlcmd -S ip_of_the_server, 1401 -U username -P password is working fine if launched on the server. But I always get a timeout error from any PC. Same with a telnet on port 1401.
