Registering/licensing DEMO SQLserver....
Mar 29, 2004Hello,
I am new to SQLserver and have installed the DEMO version of SQLserver 2000 on my system. I got it up and running and verified that it was working properly.
I then purchased two CPU's of the standard edition for my system. The software has arrived, but all that arrived are the CD's. I see no key, nor do I see a way to provide a key even if I had one.
I do not know how to proceeed and need help to figure out how to obtain a key or how to enter it if I ever obtain one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thanks,

Problem Unicode Data 0x2300 In SQLServer 2000 SQLServer 2005 Express
Sep 20, 2006Hi 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('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 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
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
Trying To 'load' A Copy Of A SQLServer 2000 Database To SQLServer 2005 Express
Apr 18, 2008
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!!
SQL Express Licensing
Oct 2, 2006Hi...First, I am not sure whether I put this post correctly or not. My issue is I developed one simple web application with using ASP.Net 2.0, VB 2005 and SQL express. I wonder that if i install it to my customer's pc, do they need to pay for SQL express's licensing since it is free now.. Thanks in advance.Regards, Anson
View 1 Replies View RelatedReplacing Sqlserver 2000 With Sqlserver 2005 Express
Jun 14, 2006I 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."
SQL Server Express Licensing
Feb 8, 2006Hi,
I'm a little confused about the licensing of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I'd like to know whether:
Suppose I build a VB app which requires a centralised database, and I bundle SQL Server Express as the app's db engine, is this allowed in the licensing?
Suppose that the previous scenario is allowed, can my client opt to have me use the bundled SQL server express to be installed in my machine to host the database for him?
I apologise if this is not the right place to post this question. If that is the case, can someone point me out in the right direction? I have tried calling MS support lines, but they don't seem to know the answer as well.
Thanks in advanced.

Licensing Sql Express For Web Hosting Providers
Oct 24, 2006For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.
Thank you!
Express Edition, Reporting Services, And Licensing
Mar 15, 2007Hello,
From reading the licensing considerations page [1], my understanding is that if my environment is 2 servers - an IIS Server and a separate SQL Server Std - I will need a 2nd license of SQL Server to run Reporting Services on my IIS Server? Is this correct? If so, would a license of SQL Server Express Edition w/Advanced Services satisfy the second license requirement, or would I need a license to match the database server?
Essentially, what is the recommended guidance for Reporting Services and Web Applications? It's a known best practice that, for performance, run SQL Server on a dedicated machine separate from IIS. Is it recommended that the database server also serve the reports?

Installed SQLServer Express.....now What?
Jan 13, 2007Hi
I've succesfully installed Visual C# and I've made a couple of example projects. I now want to try and create a database and see if I can make a C# application that talks to it.
So I've installed SQL Server Express. I was hoping I could open it up and get started with creating tables etc. Instead, my Start menu shows:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
>>>Configuration Tools
>>>>>>SQL Server Configuration Manager
>>>>>>SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
>>>>>>SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Where do I go now? Is there some configuring to do before I can start making tables and storing data? Or, have I misunderstood what SQL Server is about?
Thanks

Once the info remains on the , I can create masterpages to resemble a quote.
Thank you much for your help.

Connection To SQLServer 2005 Express
Oct 10, 2006Hi 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 .
So SQLServer 2005 Express Is FREE?
Jun 4, 2007Ok 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?

Importing Data To Sqlserver Express

I tried backing it up and using the restore function in sqlserver express but with no success. I have not been able to find an import function in the Management Studio Express interface. Is it possible to import this information, or should I get busy with my data entry?

SQLServer Express FullText Search
Dec 11, 2007I just implemented full text search on a table and it doesn't work like I expected. I am using a stored procedure to search a company name column.
CREATE PROCEDURE swsp_GetCompanyRecord
@companyName varchar(120)
as
begin
select recID, companyName
from TABLE
where contains (companyName, @companyName)
end
I use the stored procedure as follows:
swsp_GetCompanyRecord '"Reynolds Aluminum"' (Quotation marks inside single quote)
If I search for a company (e.g., Reynolds Aluminum), I get the following results:
Search Returns
Reynolds Reynolds Aluminum
Reynolds A Reynolds Aluminum
Reynolds Al nothing
Reynold nothing
Aluminum Reynolds Aluminum
I guess I expected this to work similar to 'LIKE' in that it would return the full company name if I gave it any portion of the name. Is there something wrong with the way I've implemented this?
Importing Data Into SQLServer Express
Feb 25, 2008
I am currently Using SQL Server Express for testing purposes while waiting for SQL 2008 to be issued. (Our project will take some 2-3 years to complete so concerns about using a 'new' version of SQL Server are not pertinent). We have ordered this week Visual Studio 2008 as the shrink wrap version is due out the end of this week.
I have been able to migrate all our data from the old database (Superbase) but only field names and field types.
Indexes and validation stuff is lost.
The problem I have is that:
I can only import to an empty database, therefore if I start to create Indexes and otherwise modify the structure of this database in SQL Server then I will lose all this work on the next occasion I need to import (as Superbase will still continue to be our firm's current daily data handling tool for another year or two)
My thoughts where to create a copy of the original import, develop the constraints, indexes etc. on this secondary copy. then (on the day we are ready to migrate) empty the copy of data and import the data only
Does SQL Server Express have the tools to do this?
If not then are my best options to use SQL Server Beta until the new software is realeased (but notice that Visual Studio 2008 does not like SQL2008 - is there a fix for this?)
I hope this is the right forum for these questions
Thanks in advance
VMD / SQLServer 2005 Express Stored Procedure
Jun 28, 2006I 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
