I want learn about ADO.NET, I'm trying to start a SQLServer 2005 Express with a example database for practicle with it, but i can't connect to configure the db.
I'm tried dowloading a set of examples from Microsoft.com, but whe i execute some example aganist the db always get the same error:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I look for some solution for this problem in Google, but nothing works :(
I enable remote connections, TCP/IP and Shared Memory in SQLExpress, start the SQLExpress and SQL Server Browser services, and check that TCP/IP is enabled in the clients protocols.
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.". Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.

What's the deal with SQLServer 2005 Beta?I've just got a magazine with a free cover disk with VB 2005 beta,and also includes SQLServer 2005. I've installed it, but I can't get itto do anything. It seems to have installed ok, there are the data filesfor allthe usual system and example databases in place, and TaskManager shows that SQLServer is definitely running. However theonly tool that came with it is called 'Computer Management' whichallows configuration options on the network, and to start and stopSQL Server. There are none of the Enterprise Manager controls toaccess the database, create tables, create users and so on. Enterprisemanager from SQL Server 2000 seems unable to detect the newinstallation.What's going on? Are there client tools I can download to access thedatabase with?

I have a problem when I try to import some test data from Excel to SQL Sever 2005. My Excel file (Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP2) contains the following rows: Test data 1 2A 3
I use SQL Sever Import and Export Wizard from Microsoft SQL Sever Management Studio.
On the Choose a Data Source page, in the Data source list, I select Microsoft Excel and verify that the Excel version box contains Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and the First Row has column names check box is selected. On the Specify Table Copy or Query page I select Copy data from one or more tables or views On the Select Source Tables and Views page I select €˜Sheet1$€™ check box in Source column and write [MyTestDB].[dbo].[TestData] in Destination column. Click Edit Mappings.. On the Column Mappings page in Mappings table I see: Test data Test data float €¦ I don€™t understand why I see float data type!!! It should be nvarchar (€¦). OK, I change float to nvarchar (10) manually and click OK, Next and Finish. After importing data is completed I go to the new table €œTest data€? and look at the imported data. I don€™t understand again - why I see NULL instead of €œ2A€?. So I have such data: 1 NULL 3
Can anybody help me how to get 2A instead of null? Thank you.
I am using the VB 2005 login controls in a web application together with a wizard created sqlserver 2005 database stored in the application's appData directory. The controls work ok on my local development computer but when I deploy the application to a web hosting server (ASP.Net) I get the following error message when using any of the log-in controls: 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) Any suggestions on how to eliminate this error? Thanks for your help. Ken McLean
Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong forum I’m hoping someone can help me with this problem. In theory it’s basic enough but I can’t get my head around it!!!! I have a basic form that has a drop down list a text box. I’m selecting a static value from a list in the drop down list. Depending on this value I select I enter text into the textbox. What I can’t figure out is how to check/validate the value in the textbox against the value in the database. I’m using a SqlDataSource connection which takes the parameter entered in the textbox to check the value. It doesn’t seem to send to the database and check the values. The pieces of code : SQL Stmt in SqlDataSource1 SELECT InvoiceNo FROM [Order] WHERE (InvoiceNo = @invoiceno) code in the invoice no method string searchby = ddlSearchBy.SelectedValue.ToString(); string invoiceno = txtDetail.Text;
if (searchby == ("InvoiceNo")) { txtDetail.Text = ("@invoiceno");
SqlDataSource tester =SqlDataSource1; SqlDataReader rdr = null ; rdr = SqlDataSource1.Select(); If anyone can help id really appreciate it

The question is why the datatype length is returned as -1, what happened to 'max'? is there any other way to retrieve the actual data length (ie., 'max') from the table definition?
Hi all, I'm not a db guru and probably this is a very simple question for you, but I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a SqlServer using odbc without DSN. I mean, I'm trying to connect to the db server from a linux (Fedora Core 8) workstation, using odbc drivers, but it looks like I can do that only using a DSN connection and setting properly the odbc.ini file. It doesn't work, if I use a connection like this from a PHP script: $cn = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServer;Database=MyDatabase", "MyUser","MyPassword") Does anyone know how to connect to SqlServer with a DSN-less connection? Could you explain me where is the error?
I'm using SQLServer2005, Fedora Core 8 with the last FreeTDS installed.
