Hi,
I installed vs2005 & then SQL2000 but I canot load my SQL2000 instance into the explorer. I try to 'add a server' by putting in the computer name, but I can't get it. I also have installed sql2005 express & compact edition installed but I cannot log onto express, only comact.
when I try to create a DB in vs2005, I get an error. I have set express to accept remote connections for tcpip but that didn't help
any ideas? Do i have to install VS2005 after installing sql2000? Should I remove express?
I just realized recently that a database "XYZ" in the Object Explorer of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) is put in the Database Explorer of my VB 2005 Express for processing a Stored Procedure in executing the SELECT statements (not by using Input and/or Output Parameters) during the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming, then the content of the database "XYZ" is not in the SSMSE. How can I return the database "XYZ" from the DataBase Explorer of VB 2005 Express back to the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) safely? Please help and advise.
I just installed 2005 Evaluation version (high spec laptop but running Windows XP Home edition).
Have opened SQL Server Management Studio then set up a dummy database with a table and a query then tried opening the Server Explorer.
I understand that Server Explorer should be on the 'View' tab with, say, Object Explorer but I can't see it.
Does the fact I am running this on XP Home edition have anything to do with it? Or do I need to run another SETUP.EXE or configure some options or is it something else?
When I installed SQL Server 2005 I got one error message saying:
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.
Does Server Explorer need IIS to be running in order to work?
I am trying to establish a connection to a SQL server using server explorer. I have tried both the DNS name and the IP address and get this message: "Could not reconnect to "sqlserver". Make sure the machine name and path are valid.When I go to Enterprise Manager and enter the IP address, I can successfully establish a connection.What gives? Is this a VS problem?
Dear All, Can I add more than one server in ServerExplorer bar.I wll use Client Server utility to add create a alias of a same server and add more than one server in SQL 2000. How can do this in SQL 2005
Hi, I have a couple of MS SQL 2005 Mobile edition databases that I was using previously. I am now not able to open them, I have not used them for about 3 weeks and do not recall doing anything 3 weeks ago to cause them to fail (Except maybe SQL Server 2005 install, not CE/Mobile).
There is no option for adding a connection to SQL Mobile 5 DB (or CE2.0 for that matter, which is also installed) when adding new data connection in VS.NET Server Explorer.
The databases seem to work fine when on the device, my probelm is accessing the database file .sdf from VS.NET. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server Mobile 2005 several times with no luck. I am developing on XP Prof with VS.net 2005 for Pocket PC Phone 2003 and 2005
If I click on the already existing connection I get message "The Provider was not found"
If I click on the file directly from VS.net get a message "There is no editor available for 'C:lahb;ah.sdf' Make sure the application for the file type (.sdf) is installed"
I have been using these databases for some time and desperately need them back. ANY assistance or comment would be appreciated. Rod
I am a Visual Studio .net developer and understand Solutions and Projects in VS.net. Nevertheless, it appears that the paradigm of using Solutions Explorer in SQL Server is not exactly the same. That is, in Visual Studio you can't get anything done without creating a solution first. In SQL Server, it is entirely possible to get a lot done without a solution and the ability to create and make use of a solution seems almost an after thought or an add-on. I am particularly interested in using a solution in SQL Server to allow me to make use of SourceSafe. In the past, we jumped through all kinds of hoops to keep a running trail of changes we had made to (for example) stored procedures. It appears now that this can be managed more efficiently with the use of a Solution and SourceSafe and saving scripts or .sql files. I guess it is not possible to save a pristine copy of a stored procedure directly in SourceSafe, but you can save the code that makes up the stored procedure as a .SQL file which I suppose is about as good. Anyway, what I would like to know is whether there is a good white paper (or chapter in a book) on the philosophy behind Solutions and projects in SQL Server and how MS intends us to use them; perhaps something other than the cold facts from the documentation. I would appreciate something more that gives me the big picture on just how MS sees them being used in SQL Server so I can get the most out of them. I have the feeling that if I "get the vision", they are meant to be an integral part of SQL Server now and in the future. Woody
I am no longer able to manage SQL Server at the server explorer in Visual studio. i.e. create, modify and delete for Diagrams, Tables, Views, Stored Procs & Functions. Further more, it missing Diagram and function folder. I can only view or read data.
Trying to learn how to use Sql Server CE, Tutorial says to open server explorer, add connection, new connection, select data source as .net sql ce (words to that effect). On my visual studio, it ain't there and I can't figure out how to get it there. I have uninstall all of the Sql Ce stuff and reinstalled it. So I'm missing some key link.

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?
Hello,I'm having the following dilemma: I'm trying to connect to a database on a SQL Server, somewhere else in the country. - With Server Explorer in VS.Net it is no problem at all. New dataconnection: i fill in the ip-adress, user and pass, and the database-name i want to connect to, and voila, it's done. I can add, edit, delete everything.- With enterprise manager: With enterprise manager i can make a connection with the server, but after that the database isn't visible. And as far as i know i can't connect to a certain database. Another option i tried is to create a linked server on my local server: that does work, only now i can't add/edit/delete..I really want to work with enterprise manager, but is there any way to connect to one db only, and still be able to add/edit/delete ?? I can't find the solution..Please help..Much regards..J.JansmaThe netherlands
I recently installed VISUAL STUDIO .NET 2003 and SQL SERVER 2000 personal edition on my XP system. I also applied service pack 3a to it. I use windows integrated security, and server runs from it's system account (SA). The problem is that I cannot create tables, views, procedures or databases from SERVER EXPLORER. I can do it through Enterprise Manager. When I install destop engine instead of sql server it's OK, but when it's SQL server personal edition, then it's a problem. I tried giving my account, and my account group (builtin/administrators) all rights and privilegies I could think of, but it still doesn't work. I did not have this problem vith previous version of Visual Studio .net. I think it's something about security and permissions. Any suggestions ? Thx in advance.........

I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.

Using the starter kit, Personal Web Site, I start by adding a new user to the Administrator Role in the the the SQLExpress database by using the Graphical Web Administrator Tool . Then, using the Personal Web Site application in Visual Studio 2005 (not the Web Developer Express 2005) , I register a new account. When I examine Server Explorer, I can see 2 users in aspnet_Membership and 2 users in aspnet_User tables. However, when I use SQL Server Management Studio Express, I only see 1 user in both of those tables. Is there a reason for this?
In Management Studio, under Registered Servers, I double-click a server name (could be sql 2000 or sql 2005 server) and it apperars in "Object Explorer" where I can work with it. I click the "Save All" button in Management Studio, exit Studio, and re-start Studio. When I do, I find that all the servers I placed under "Object Explorer" are now missing and I need to go through the "double-click the registered server" ritual again. And again, and again.
What am I doing wrong here? Why don't the servers "stick" in Object Explorer?

Under sql 2000 I needed to register my sql server before I could begin working with it under Enterprise Manager. Under sql 2005 I usually setup the server under "Object explorer" and work with it from there. So what does registering a server under sql 20005 do? Why is it needed?
Hello,I am using SQLServer Express and Visual Studio 2005 to create the website. I would like to implement FullText search, but have never done it before.

I installed VS 2005 without SQLExpress. Thereafter, I installed SQL 2005 (not express). Now, when trying to connect to a database server in server explorer, VS can't find any SQL servers and the dropdown box is empty in the Add Connection Wizard.
Also, I would like my WebApplication to run its membership services on the installed SQL - not the implicitly present SQLExpress (which is not present on my machine). How do I tell WebSite Administration Tool to use SQL not SQLExpress!!!!
I'm trying to add a new connection in server explorer. The server will not appear in the server drop down list, and when i manually type in the server and database name, the connection fails saying
"An error has occured 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)"
I made sure the remote connections were on, and I am having no problems open the sql connection in code.

I am using "windows authentication" login.

Please, could somebody give me a clue where the problem could be, or how I could isolate the problem area.

I opened up the Surface Area Configuration Tool and chose the "Surface Area Configuration for Features". Choose "Database Mail" and clicked the checkbox "Enable Database Mail Stored Procedures"
When I go into the Management Studio, I can't see the "Database Mail" node under "Management" I'm thinking I might need a service pack as in the about, I don't see a service pack listed. BUT, when I go to the SQL Server 2005 Express "Service Pack 2" page, there's no option to just download the Service Pack. I recently downloaded (2 weeks ago or so) this Sql Server Express Edition and I'm thinking this might have Service Pack 2 already, but I'm not sure as I don't see it in the "about".
