I have SQL Server Management Studio. I can access some databases to which I have been given access to. How can I create a sample database to which I can upload excel files as data fields.
This is for testing purposes. Any help appreciated.

I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick
We have a SQLSERVER database that is replicated to many users.We are currently in an expansion phase where we need to make changesto the server database. Each time we rollout a new release, we aredeleting the local replicating database and recreating.Is there any way to automatically transfer the changes from the serverto existing local database without deleting?

I am at the stage of architecting my solution
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
I would appreciate your help immensley

Hi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.

I am interesting in knowing how to connect to database files that are not kept local to the SQL server? If you have any familiarity w/ this, can you please help me out w/ some information.
Thanks.
First of all let me explain that I am a complete newbie to this SQL stuff. I am in the process of reading a book, and followed the books suggestions for what I want to do, but it doesn't work. I know this has been covered several times in this forum, but no one post in particular covered exactly what I want to do.
I want to copy the database from the server to my local machine.
First, do I need to have SQL running on my machine in order to copy the database? I do have Enterprise Manager running, does that mean SQL Server is running locally?
Secoond, I tried using the Copy Wizard, but when I get to the target list, my local machine is not listed. How do I get it listed so I can copy the database?
I hope my questions are not too stupid... but then I'd be stupid if I didn't ask questions.
Thanks in advance for your help...

I would like to query a linked server and join that database to my local database. I finally was able to get it to work and I got this query to work:
select * from openquery([hcda-storagesrvlaserfiche], 'select * from toc where parentid=358')
I would like to join one of my tables from my local database to the query. How can I do this? Thanks!
Hello,
I recently read the following book:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Server-2005-Reporting-Services/dp/0072262397/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5275187-2065567?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194662002&sr=8-1
It was excellent.
I was hoping to find an example of the following:
My company has a desktop application with a local database (sql server 2k express) I would like to be able to have local reports and if the user likes the report they are viewing, the user could "publish" that report to the server. Since the database is local, the report data source cannot point to that database. So, it would publish the report AND the data in it.
For this use case, what is the recommended strategy of moving the data with the report? Would i create a small xml file and then dynamically build a datasource that points to that xml? Any best practices advice?
If i could find an example would be fantastic.
Thanks for your help,
Dan
This is what I sometimes want:
I have installed on a localmachine sqlexpress. Also my application is installed on the local machine.
But for the night-backup of the database I want to put the database on the company server.
Let's say the database is on: X:datamydatabase.mdf
Why cant't I attach this database with the manager of sqlexpress
Second:
I have installed on local machine sqlexpress AND also the database
Why can't I backup the file to the server like:
BACKUP DATABASE [mydatabase] to DISK=x:datamydatabase.bak WITH FORMAT
It looks I can only backup to the localmachine.
thanks a lot

I want to create a database on my local machine and work with it. But I am not able to see the name of my local server under "Database Engine" in the list of "Registered Servers".
Options I tried:
(1) In Registered Servers window, On Database Engine, I right clicked and in that selected "Update Local Server Registration"
(2) In Registered Servers window, On Database Engine, I right clicked and in that selected "New" -> Server Registration.
In "New Server Registration" Window, in "Server Name" drop down I clicked "Browse for more" but still in "Browse for Servers" window, I am not able to see the name of my local server in "Local Servers" tag under Database Engine.
(3) If I do File -> Connect Object Explorer -> Connect to Server window in "Server name" drop down box, if I click "Browse for more", I am able to see local server name eg. "XYZ" under Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Integration Services but not under "Database Engine"
Please help me create a new database engine in SQL Server 2005 or list my local server under "Database engine" ?
Thanks
Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a dilemma and I need some expert help with this. I am trying to make a copy of a remote Database and then replicated the DB and it's contents on my local machine so I can build a test site to run data with. I tried to remot into the server machine but I guess that feature is not allowed by the honest of the remote machine. Since I build on my local machine and would like to be able to test data on my local machine.... I would like to copy the remote DB to my local computer and then I can run my test app on my local server. The version of SQL on the remote machine is SQL Express 2005 and I have SQL 2005 on my machine. Please give me how to accomplish this please.

hello all,
I am using vb.net in windows form. I have made a module which is connected to sql server 2000.
Now, I want to have a fresh copy of the remote database of SQL Server at my local computer and whenever there is change in remote database(insertions,deletion or updation), my local database copy may gets synchronized(i.e changes get reflected in this local copy).
Can any one help me? If it is possibel by using Vb.net code, it is very well, and if there is some Sql Server wizard that can help me do that, please reply to me.
Thanks in advance.
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
I try to copy database from remote SQL Server(6.5) to our local

I try "NEW SQL SERVER REGISTRATION" using "Register SQL
Server wizard". The remote server give me the IP, login name
and password. then, I try connect option by "login using
SQL Server". But I got message say:"specialted server not found,
Connection open,create file". some times say:"client server access
denied..." some times say:"timeout". What's going on here?
So, I can not get going on with "Import data wizard".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any answer would be of great assistance!

Hi, I have been creating a web store, which we will be hosting on our Windows Server 2003 system. I am also writing a windows application that will be running on our client systems on the same network/domain. I have no need to allow internet access to the database, just within our domain. Pretty much the windows application will be running and whenever a customer places an order, the program will automatically pop-up the needed information for our credit card processing, and shipping department. So far I have been able to establish a connection to our server by creating a data connection under the server explorer. However, it does not list any databases whatsoever, the web site has been published using Visual Studio 2005 Professional on the server, and is in 100% working order. I have searched and haven't found anything concrete on this, i'm sure its just something simple that im missing. It appears that the server is definetely connected to the database (since the website is fully functional), but it is not listing the information for other systems to access it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm developing a website using VWD 2005 Express, which needs a Membership system and a products database. Using the VWD inherent Web Site Administration tool makes the membership set up easy but by default it creates a 'Local' SQL database in a folder named 'Apps_Data' in the VWD project. My question is: considering I will need to upload my web site to a Hosting Service, would it be better to change the default so that the membership systems, and the product database I need, are created in an SQL 'Server' database instead of a 'Local' database?
The hosting service I am considering using is having a bit of a problem understanding this question, I hope it makes sense to someone or am I asking a stupid question?

Sean.
I lost my database on my pc as I format my hard drive. Now, how I can get a copy of my ms sql server database from my hosting to work with my local pc? I need to have a local copy so that I can develop my site without internet connection. For your information, I used Hostforlife.eu hosting service. I have searched and tried many methods to do it, but no luck yet. For example, I created a backup on Hostforlife.eu and restore backup file on my pc, but nothing happens. Then I created a new database, and re-created its structure same as the one on Hostforlife, then I used the import wizard to import data from them to my pc. Again, nothing happens.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using the following C# code to establish a SQL connect to a SQL database file:
// connection string
// attach a SQL database file to a local SQL server express instance
string _connectionString = @"Server=.SQLExpress; AttachDbFilename=C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf; Trusted_Connection=Yes; User Instance=True";
// using System.Data.SqlClient;
SqlConnection _sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(_connectionString);
// open the connection
_sqlConnection.Open();
// do something
// close the connection
_sqlConnection.Close();
So far, the connection works fine.
However, next, I want to copy the database file to another folder. So the following codes:
// source database file name
string sourceDatabaseFileName = @"C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf";
// target database file name
string targetDatabaseFileName = @"D:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf";
// copy database file
System.IO.File.Copy(sourceDatabaseFileName, targetDatabaseFileName, true);
Then the program came with runtime exception: "IOException was unhandled: The process cannot access the file 'C:BalanceDatabase_1.mdf' because it is being used by another process."
Is it because the database file was sill attached to the local SQL Server express instance? What can I do to bypass this problem? Detach the database file? or dispose the local SQL Server express instance?
Many thanks indeed!
Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if we could back up the databases to any place outside of the local server system? As I found, we can only back up the database to the local server system, so we have needs to share databases on network places. Is there any method to back up the database on network place rather than first of all I have to back up the database on a local server system, then copy it to the network place, that just sounds really inconvenient.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I have an ASP.NET application that runs under the development server. Before deploying to my host I wanted to test it under IIS. I set up a virtual directory under IIS, but when I try to open the home page I get an error Unable to open the physical file
"E:CDiskLocalWebSitesDIWSchedulingApp_DataDIWDB.MDF". Operating
system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".and a code dump showing that the code is breaking at the open connection. A little research on the error indicates that IIS does not have permission to execute the database operation. I can not find any information on how to give IIS this permission in SQL Server 2005 Express. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I have a very basic console application whose sole purpose is to query a database on the same local computer. When i run the application, i get the error message below:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'someDomainSomeUserName'.
Below is my connection string also
myconnection_string = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Reporting SystemApp_Datasafetydata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True").
After some googling, some post pointed to deleting a user folder at :
C:Documents and SettingsmyusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS
but still deleting that folder and restarting the machine doesn't help and i also have remote connections enabled. Help is really needed.
NOTE: The same application runs on a different computer with XP but fails on the Pc with windows server 2003.
After i reinstall SQL Server 2005 Express on my local machine, and then tried to attach AdventureWorks_Data.mdf into Database, it gives me the following error:
Mark up:
I tried to reinstall the Adventureworks.msi installer and reattach again in SQL Server 2005 Express, it gave me the same error.
I then deleted both SQL Server 2005 Express & Adventureworks, and then restart my pc and reinstall again, it still gave me the same error.
Error:

Is it possible for retriving data from a remote Sql server database and storing it in a local sqlserver database.
