Ive got a SQl2005 Express server which doesnt appear on the network as an sql box. Im able to ping the server without any issues but when I try to attach to the server by using Connect option on the SMSE installed on my machine, I see my other sql 2005 express boxes and my sql2000 box but I cannot see my new SQL2005 Express box.
I created a re port using the Report builder. The report runs fine. I want to create a parameter on the report. I created a new dataset with the query "select distinct dept from table" . Then i created a new parameter to get the values from the second dataset. After running the reports when i selected 2 departemnts, its still showing all the records.
I recognize that this question borders on blasphemy but I am curious as to whether there is a version of sql2005 express for the mac platform. Would like to keep a compatible local instance of 2005 on my mac notebook.
Hello, can I run the express edition on my desktop and test web site with it, but then deploy the same app to my webhost and have it use SQL2005 standard? (They don't support the express edition.) I'm new to SQL2005 and am curious. In fact, I still don't totally understand if express is installed or just a file like access. :) Thanks! Stephen Rylander
Hello, I hope I am posting this question in the right forum. I have been working on some ASP applications and using them to connect to a MySQL database. I would like to move all of the data from MySQL over to SQL2005 Express. The problem is that the express version doesn't offer an import/export tool for CSV files. I am able to export my table data from MySQL to a CSV file, how can I import this data into my SQL2005 Ex database? Thanks.
I am currently using MSDE as the Db for a website and using (cheating?) enterprise manager i have created and scheduled a backup job that the agent runs.
Now I am wanting to upgrade the Database to SQL2005 Express but I want to have a similar scheduled backup job. From the reading of the OLBs it appears I have to manually create a script but I don't know how to schedule the running of the script.
So my questions are: 1. How do you schedule the running of a back up script in SQL Express? and,
2. Is there a tool that automates the creation of a script similar to how you do it in the old Enterprise manager?
We are coming out of the dark ages with our app using SQL 7 and, following the excellent advice of the folks here on SQLTeam, installing SQL 2005 Express on our new webserver.
Not being terribly fluent in all things SQL, I was wondering if anybody could provide input on the best practices for getting SQL 2005 Express going on the new server.
So far I've:
- Installed SQL 2005 Express - Downloaded and "installed" the SSEUtil for CMD line instructions - Downloaded and installed the graphical management interface (very nice, makes me feel more comfortable - like SQL 7 console!) - Copied backup files (made using SQL backup maintenance) to the new server
Should I simply create an empty db of the same name on the 2005 server and then restore the 7 data? Or ????
I searched briefly for previous posts of this nature and didn't find too much info so I hope I'm not duplicating effort here...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?
I'm trying to install sql express sp2 2005 in my laptop but i can't, give me this error
Machine : W7J Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Product Version : 9.2.3042.00 Install : Failed Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFilesSQLSetup0015_W7J_SQL.log Last Action : InstallFinalize Error String : SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration.

I'm choosing Windows autentication mode, so i don't know it says "sa" user.
I have an aplication (VS2005 and Sql2005 Express), where I need to lock a table when opening one form, and then close it when completing another form.
Is there a way to do this, maybe using a Stored Procedure.? I'd prefer to be still able to access the table in read only mode if possible.
I've looked at pessimistic concurrency, but the particular part of my application is not using a dataset, being based upon SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar(), so I'm fairly sure this is not an option.
Excuse the cross post (to VBexpress fourum) but maybe someone here will have a different take?
have searched all around can't seem to see how to configure a SQL2005 developer ed so I can use vb express to develop a local front end. keep getting "the user instance login flag is not supported on this version of sql server" I have configured the .net framework via aspnet_regsql.exe. Also I configured the "Machine.config" file. but so far no luck.
Selecting sql2005 as the server thru the add new database connection in advanced area yields the error message
surely there is away.
So far still no joy,
While Scotty indicates that the connection to SQL2005 is intentionally hampered other posters indicate that the user instance problem can be solved by running the .net config tool to add the asp database to sql server, which I have done.
However this does not yet work.
I cannot get the code to spark yet.
Again my configuration cannot be any simpler. sql express sp1 and sqldeveloper on the same machine using windows security (all installed with default cofigurations)
In the absence of other ideas I may try to get sql express downloaded and going, I'm not sure what issues that will present re: what I'm trying to develop.
I'm trying to develop the skills to replace some fairly involved reporting and some user table interface that I had going in access2003, I hate to pruchace a big piece of sw when I don't know if it will remove the current roadblocks...
Appreciate the help here, but doesn't someone have a "simpler" complete answer? I.e. one that would get the developer database to accept the connection wizard? (user instance issue)
Hi. I need to move database schema (tables definiton with relations without data) form SQL Express to SQL 2005. Is there any easy way to do it? I'll be grateful for your help. Pawel
Is there a possibility to import a table from sql 2000 into sql 2005 express? I have a table exportet from sql2000 to csv, adjusted "FALSE" and "TRUE" into 0 and 1 and saved it to csv. Now I want to replace a table in the sql2005 DB by the csv. (The first row contains the header, each row contains a record.
I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?
I have a problem to connect to SQL2005 Express Database with VC++ as regular user, not window system administrator.(If i login as window system admin, everything's working fine.)
A. I tried to use SQL2005 Express Server authentication, the error msg is: Code= 80004005 €œunspecified error€? Cannot open database ***, login failed.
1. I am using Server authentication with username and password. 2. Gave all the permission of Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1 and Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2 to this regular window user. 3. Connection String is: Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; User ID=***;Password=***;Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;
B. I tried to use Window authentication by adding User Instance, but the error is: Code= 80004005 €œunspecified error€? MS Native Client Description = Invalid connection string attribute.
Connection String is: Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFileName=directory***.mdf;
I'm trying to migrate a MSDE based application into a SQL2005 Express SP2 DB Engine on Windows Vista Business but I'm facing several errors that are blocking me. Since the installation of SQL2005 Expr. must be done in a silent mode (the end user shouldn't set anything), I'm installing it using this syntax:
The installation proceeds without problems but when my program tries to create the database, a message error appears:
CREATE DATABASE denied on database 'master' (I translated directly from italian). What I would like is to install SQL 2005 with "Windows Authentication" access instead of "SQL Authentication".
If I install SQL2005 manually by setting a named instance (CSERV), Windows Authentication mode, activating the option "set the local account as SQL administrative account" (translated from italian and suggested with Vista) I get the following error (read from the LOG):
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 (access denied) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerCSERVDataCGIDBDat.mdf'
CSERVData is the folder that the application creates and where the "mdf" and "ldf" files are stored.
So in the first case it seems that SQL2005 don't recognize the local account as administrator even if the user has administrative privileges (at least for Vista), in the second case is Vista that is blocking the action.
I have been working around with SQL Server Express 2005 on VISTA. I created a small C++2008 application which interface with SSE 2005. When running my application, it automatically created a user instance which I would like to get rid of. I just forgot from start to set "User Instance = False" in my connectionstring. (oups...)
I'm aware, from readings I did, that a couple of tables as well as log files, etc. are created under directory "utilisateurs...AppDataLocalMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS". SQLEXPRESS is the instance name chosen during install of SSE2005.

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?
I have downloaded and installed VS C# Express Orcas beta 1. It appears that Express editons ov VS can only connect to SQL2005 Express and not to a high end edition which I have on my computer. In one of the Orcas forums, it was suggested that I can install SQL2005 Express side by side my high end SQL 2005. To play it safe, I wanted to get a confirmation from this forum before I do that. Is a side-by-side installation ok? thanks.
I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501 Error descrition: FATAL: Could not find component 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Task.MessageQueueTask.ServCompMQTask' we just installed."
I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.
I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
