I would really like to be using SQLServer Express 2005 for some desktop database applications and replace MSDE. However, I am using VS.NET 2003 and so far I have not been able to discover if that combination will work.
Thanks,

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
= 0x2300
¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?¢"
¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'¢')
and select again voila i see
"¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
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.
Thanks!!
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."
Hi all,
I have SQL Server 2005 Express running and I am creating a database through access (Access 2003 SP2) and no problem it creates the database...
But when I try to create other objects like views and database diagrams, I get the message below which is quite detailed but I just don't know where to get the service packs or updates needed to have this problem solved. Can anyone point out what the problem and the fixes are?
Here is the message that I get:
"This version of MS Office Access doesn't support design changes with the version of MS SQL Server
your access project is connected to. See MS Office Update Website for the latest information and
downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). YOur design changes will not be saved.
You have connected to a version of SQL server later than SQL Server 2000. This version of Visual Studio
or Access that you are using was released before teh version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
For this reason you might encounter problems.
Please check with MS to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office
in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to
save any objects or database diagrams thatyou create using the Visual Database Tools."
Thanks
I am a fresher in using SQL with access.
I am using a code in Ms access to link a table that is in Sql express 2005.
I use this linked table name to download records to the local Access table.
The link is then dropped in Access.
Is there any way to write back records into the linked Sql table from Access.
It does not allow me to delete / add / modify records of a linked table.
How can I do this.
Thanks

I am just starting to work with Visual Studio and SQL. I have Visual Studion 2003 with .net Framework 1.1. I want to download the SQL 2005 Express version and it requires the upgrade to .NET Framework 2.0
Will this affect my Visual Studio 2003? And can I use SQL 2005 with Visual Studio 2003?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, is it possible to use SQL server express 2005 with visual studio 2003?
i've some problems...
Thanks
Hi,
How do I connect to Sql Server 2005 express from Visual Basic. Net 2003 ?
Kumar
I have been experiencing troubles since I was decided to install SQL Server Expr 2005 in my PC, first I needed to remove the .NET framework 1.1 in my computer because it is suggested before installing sql server expr 2k5 that cause my vs.net 2003 to stop loading because sql express runs in .NET framework 2.0 and vs.net 2003 is in .Net Framework 1.1 then what I did is to install .Net Framework 1.1 in my PC together with .Net Framework 2.0 and my vs.net started runnning again.
My problem now is when I try to connect to a database using Data Link Properties in the Server Explorer it says "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen](Connect()).]Sql server does not exist or access denied." how could this happen if I can see the sql server in the Server Explorer in my VS.net environment?
Please somebody help me I am just learning to this language and I think I cannot proceed to the next few chapters remaining because of this.
Thank you very much!
Is this supported on Windows 2003 sp2 and does anyone know how to do a silent install of this using Altiris?
Thanks!
I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.
Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have Visual Studio 2003 and had used it successfully with MSDE. I recently upgraded to SQL 2005 Express and cannot seem to connect to the SQL server. it appears in the list of servers on localhost, but when I try to create a new database it tells me that it "cannot create databases on this server." It will not even open up any existing databases.
I have .NET 2.0 installed. I uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to help. I feel I must be missing something, but do not know what.
I no longer have the MSDE installation files, so I hope I can get Studio to talk to SQL Express.
Any help is appreciated.
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
I have an Access 2003 project (sp2) and the data in SQL Server 2005 Express.
My problem is when I try to make querys, diagrams, etc in Access, a warning tell me that I have installed a version of Access that is older than the version of SQL and all the designs that I make not be saved, and recommend a service pack for Access 2003 to correct the problem.
Can anybody help me, where is this SP??
Hello,
after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:
With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.
You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.
Versions:
SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1
Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1
all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

Hi
I am following a project to build a small E-Commerce site from a book I have purchased and I have having problems connecting to the SQL Database with the code supplied.
The book is Apress Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 E-Commerce

The code added to the Web.Config file is :
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Server=(local)NetSDK;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=JokePoint" />
</appSettings>
The connection details are in a class file called Catalog.vb and is as follows
Imports System.Data.SqlClientPublic Class Catalog
Public Shared Function GetDepartments() As SqlDataReader
'Create the connection objectDim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
'Create and initialize the command objectDim command As New SqlCommand("GetDepartments", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
'Open the connection
connection.Open()
'Return a SqlDataReader to the calling functionReturn command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
End Function
Private Shared ReadOnly Property connectionString() As String
GetReturn ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
End GetEnd Property
End Class
The error is.....

The connection tests ok in Visual Studio 2003. All permissions are set using SQL Management Studio Express 2005.
The book is using SQL 2000, I have been trying different connection syntax's in the Web.Config file all day and now I have a big headache. I know its something simple, can anyone please advise ?
Thanks in advance.

Hey all!
I've tried all I know in an effort to get SQL 2005 Express to allow remote connections on my customer's 2K3 server and I'm not having any luck. I've followed MSKB 914277, including adding the exceptions to their Windows firewall...even disabled the firewall altogether (for testing purposes), and I still can't get remote clients to connect. As suggested by various other posts, I used netstat -an to confirm that SQL is listening on port 1433 for the desired IP on the server.....and saw that it is listening. Here's a snippet:
TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 192.168.0.2:1738 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.0.2:1738 192.168.0.2:1433 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
I can connect to the database locally (i.e. on the 2K3 server itself) using just the IP address .... tried with a DSN, UDL, ODBC, and SSMSE...all of which have no problems (as shown by the two, "ESTABLISHED" entries in the netstat results above which were from running SSMSE locally on the server at the time of the netstat). But if a remote computer on the network tries to connect, they cannot connect. Sorry, I don't have a copy of the error message the clients are getting yet.
I asked The customer's IT to confirm that the clients CAN can "see" the server (i.e. that there wasn't some kind of router or firewall blocking their path) and they sent me a copy of the server's pfirewall.log file. Here is an entry from the file that seems to show that client requests ARE getting to the server:
2007-12-17 19:12:13 OPEN-INBOUND TCP 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.2 1213 1433 - - - - - - - - -
2007-12-17 19:12:13 CLOSE TCP 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.4 1433 1213 - - - - - - - - -
I'm starting to get in over my head here (I'm a programmer, not a DBA or Net Admin), but doesn't the above suggest that an incoming request came in from .4 on port 1213 and attempted to connect to .2 on port 1433, but the connection was denied or dropped by the server? If so, why? Is this related to another MS KB I read about connection pooling? I'm way over my head here and could use some help. Did I miss something subtle during configuration of SQL Express?
Thanks in advance.
We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000.
In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)?
Hope to get feedback soon.

I was wondering if it is possible to connect the SQL Server 2005 Express Version to Visual Studio 2003.If its possible , how can it be done?Cos i seem to have an error if i do so.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi to all GURUS,
I am very (almost two days) new to SQL Server Express (in fact SQL Server). In my old applications I am using VB.Net 2005 Express with MS Access database and now I wants to go for SQL Server Express.
One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)
Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server .
Ok from what I understand, sqlserver 2005 is FREE, and it is not limited by the number of concurrent connections etc etc.
So this means you can put sqlserver 2005 express on a dedicated server, and it can pretty much handle all the load you can throw right? (except if your say running myspace hehe)
Comments?
I have followed the link to download SP1 of SQLServer 2005 Express Edition, but, on that page nowhere it is mentioned that downloads offered are of SP1, it simply says that SQLServer 2005 Express edition.
What is the correct link and am I really on the correct page of SP1 ?
When I try to run the install it detects some previous versions
components. The remove all previous beta components fails and I have
removed everything from the Add/Remove Programs.
Any advice would be helpful

I am building a Visual Web Developer site with a SQL Server 2005 Express backend. I am trying to create the login page, I have written a stored procedure that takes in the username and password and returns a value which indicates whether the user is valid or not.
My problem now is integrating this stored procedure into the page. In Visual Studio 2003 you could just drag and drop the stored procedure from the Database Explorer window and it would create the neccessary SQLCommand which you can then pass parameters too and recieve return values, i.e:
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@username" ].value = TextUsername.Text;
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@password" ].value = TextPassword.Text;
sqlConnection1.Open();
sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();
Int Result = (int)sqlcommand.Parameters["@returnvalue"].value;
sqlConnection1.Close();
I see in VWD there are SqlDataSource's etc, is this what I need to use to do what I'm looking for and how do they exactly work? Ideally what I'm looking for is when a user clicks login, the contents of the 'username' and 'password' text boxes are queried against the database. What controls and configuration is required to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance,
Mervski
Iām working with an Sqlserver 2005 Express database on my local machine, and using vs.net 2005.I need to enable the sqlserver cache by the way:
aspnet_regsql -E -d Northwind -ed
I encountered the remote connection problem(error:40).The northwind database was restored to the sqlserver 2005 express by the db file downloaded,and I added the ASPNET user.I also enabled the TCP/IP by using SQL Server Configuration Manager.
But all the web application connected to the Northwind database is working through the connection string:
"Data Source=WKS-DEV-04SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True"
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
