SQL Server Express Is Working - What Tool Do I Use To Create Database And Tables?
Aug 16, 2006
Hello,
I have SQL Server Express working however I don't see any tools to create a database and tables.
I am trying to create a database to store stock quotes that I will input from a c# program.
What tool should I use to design the database?
Thank you!

SQL Server 2008 R2. SQL Server Management Studio 2016 CTP2. I am looking for a tool where I could create and save a nice graphical layout of some tables in a database and their relation to each other (how they join or connect). I get something like this in the Query Editor, where it shows the fields and joins of tables as I select them. However, I cannot save this representation to show say in a PowerPoint or Word document (Visio, etc.).
Is there a tool that would enable me to create a nice document showing my tables and their relationships, which would also allow me to annotate each table with notes about the fields, etc.?
I searched and found a reference to "Visual Database Tools" which is supposed to be part of Management Studio 2016. However, I cannot find such a set of tools listed anywhere in my menus.

Hi all,
I have a site which used a SQL Express database. On my development machine, it works perfectly. As soon as I move it to the production machine, it doesn't work at all. I am pretty confused by what is going on and I really don't want to install Visual Studio on my production machine just to debug it. I am hoping someone might have an idea what could be happening.
Oh, and I have tried setting Everyone to Full Control on the App_Data directory just to test. Still breaks. Below is my web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings> <add name="database_sqlexpress" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf; integrated security=true; user instance=true"/></connectionStrings>

Hi,
I'm a newbie with SQL so excuse my igorance. I'm running an application that uses MSDE2000 as its source db and would like to create a small [10 field] db that would also use MSDE. I want to use a separate db though and not share the first one. What I'm looking for is suggestions on a development tool to create the database with as I'm not familiar with SQL tools. I have a lot of Access experience though so the concepts are not new.
Database requirements are pretty basic.
10 fields [8 text, 2 numeric]
A button field to Add New Record
A search field
Column sorting.
That's it. I could do this in a pinch with Access so knowing what tool to use should make it easy. Any chance that I could do it with Access and then port it to a SQL db?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Does that make sense? I have 2 tables, one is an older version, one newer. The newer version has some additional fields, indexes, etc. I'd love to have a tool to run against them that would generate an ALTER TABLE script to modify the old table so that it matches the new table.
Is there anything like that out there?

Using Visual Web Designer 2005 Express and SQL Server Express 2005 I am not able to create a "working" SQL database. I am able to use the NORTHWIND.MDF and other tutorial .mdf files without any problems. I am presently using an MS Access database without any problems. I was able to use the upsize wizard in Access to create a SQL database (which isn't recognized by VWD). I have downloaded the SQL Server Management Studio Express. OK, I think I'm ready to go. When I attempt to create a new SQL database through VWD 2005 I receive an error "Connections to SQL Server files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express to be working properly. Please verify the installation of the component..." I reinstalled the software, but get the same message.What am I missing please?

I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?

Hi,
I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
#define SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR ""
#define SQL_INSTALLDATADIR ""
#define SQL_PARAMETERS SQL_SILENT + " " + SQL_USERNAME + " " + SQL_COMPANYNAME + " " + SQL_ADDLOCAL + " " + SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS + " " + SQL_INSTANCENAME + " " + SQL_USESYSDB + " " + SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR + " " + SQL_INSTALLDATADIR + " " + SQL_SAVESYSDB + " " + SQL_SQLAUTOSTART + " " + SQL_SECURITYMODE + " " + SQL_SAPWD
The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Paul

I am new to VWD, and web development. I installed VWD and SQL Server Express local.
I'm learning how to use the VWD with some of the walkthrough samples. It was going great until I got to the walkthrough where it show "how to use configure user and role with Web Site Admin Tool". I followed the walkthrough steps by step. I clicked the Security Tab and I got the following error:
"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. "
I read some article. According to the articles, SQL Server Express will automatically create the asp database for the first time. but my SSE did not create the database.
What did you do wrong? Please help. Thank you

Just a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I am using DLinq with SQL Server Express 2005 and I need to install some kind of user interface which shows me a trace of the SQL statements sent. I would like to see them in real time (I won't like to inspect a log after :-).
I remember that there was something similar in SQL Server 2000 full edition, but I requiere the same functionality in the Express version now.
Could you tell me if there is some tool to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Erich.

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, I can login to it just fine using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I ran the aspnet_regsql and it created the aspnetdb database. But when I try to test the AspNetMembershipProvider or go to the Security tab in the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool it does not work. I have tried messing with the connectionString of the LocalSqlServer in the machine.config, but to no avail. My SQL Server is installed on the Default Instance. Can someone help me get ASP.NET Web Site Administrator to work with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?

Hi all,
I have downloaded an evaluation copy of a SQL Server performance tool (a fancy version of the Profiler) called Speed Coefficient from Imceda. Pretty interesting so far, but some questions are forthcoming (and probably will continue to come as I drill down and learn more about performance thangs).
It tells me I have a recompilation that I did not expect, it says the reason is "object not found at compile time, deferred to run time", but doesn't do too well at specifically telling me which object it is complaining about (yeah, not REALLY a complaint, but perhaps more a "mention", but I digress...)
I thought originally it was, perhaps, an object that I had not referenced correctly, but as it turns out, it is, I believe, referring to a global temporary table one of my procs creates. Upon further reflection/introspection, it makes sense to me that this is the case, since it won't HAVE the temp table object to kick around until it is created at run time.
Does this make sense? If so, I guess this is one of those times where the tool just makes reference to a possible issue, but it's up to the user to understand what the underlying cause of the "mention" is, and to determine if it is "OK" to have the recompilation occur.

Hello all,
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
Please help :-D

Hi, I'm looking for a tool to compare 2 sql server database and makes a script of the differences (like an added table or record). We want to use it to generate a script which we can send to our customers to update their database if a change has been made. Example: We send our customers database A. After half a a year they request some changes to be made to the application that affects the database, say a table has to be added. We want the tool to automatically detect the difference between database A when it was first released and after the changes has been made and generate a script. Anyone suggestions? T.I.A., ratjetoes.

I'm attempting to use SQL statement to create tables within a new database, and I'm somewhat lacking in experience for this. Normally I'd simply create them through the GUI, but I want to get the hang of DDL statements.
I have written what I think are scripts to create one table with a primary key, create a unique index on it, and then create another table with a primary key and constrain two columns in the second table to the non-primary unique index in the first.
Code:
Use SKUTracking
CREATE TABLE
SKUTracking.dbo.tblOraUnits

Hi,
I am trying to create a new Sql Express Database (.mdf file) from inside Visual Studio 2005. I did the following:
1) Created a Database Project in Visual Studio.
2) Choose Data Source to be Microsoft SQL Server Database File
3) Browse to a directory and enter a file name for the new database, say abc.mdf
4) When I click OK, Visual Studio prompts me if I want to create the database file, I click yes.
5) After a while, I get this error message:
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)
Then I opened SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I enabled Named Pipes and TCP/IP for both SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER. It prompts me that the settings will not change until the service is re-started.
When I go to Administrative Tools -> Services, I see that SQLServer (MSSQLSERVER) is started, and SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is stopped. I can stop the MSSQLSERVER service. But when I tried to start SQLEXPRESS service, I get the following error message:
Windows could not start the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Lo9g. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 17058.
I have Visual Stuio 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Installed on my machine, and I believe I am logged on using an administrator account.
Can someone help me to figure out what's wrong please?
Thanks and regards,
Alice
