Hi.
I've been tasked with creating an installer that will either install SQL Express or connect to an existing SQL server.
Then I'm to run an .sql script to initialize a new database.
I'm using SSEUtil.exe as there will be no SQLCMD if the existing SQL server is on a remote machine.
Can I package SSEUtil.exe into my installer? Is this legal?
If not, is there a standard SQL Server client I can use to achieve this?
TIA,
lushdog
I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute:
C:SSEUtil>SSEUtil -l
I got the following:
1. master
2. tempdb
3. model1
4. msdb
5. 56713D4D965AE4455_TSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSMYFIRSTAPPSSE-VBEXPRESS-WINDOWSAPPLICATION1BINDEBUGMYDB1.MDF

8. C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT SQL SERVERMSSQL.1MSSQLDATANORTHWIND.MDF
9. C:ADVENTUREWORKSLTADVENTUREWORKSLT_DATA.MDF
I created some VBE projects and used some examples from some tutorial books and websites in the past. But, I thought that user instance timeout is 60 minutes and user instances should be gone after 60 minutes. Why do I have the above-mentioned user instances remained in SSEUtil now? Please explain this thing for me.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm just a hobby programmer that writes programs for my personal use and maybe for friends.
I'm planning on using VB.Net 2008 Express edition for my development. I was using SQLite before with VB.Net 2005, but it seems the ADO.NET provider will not work with the VB.Net 2008 Express edition, so I'm thinking of moving to SSCE.
Do I still have to sign up for redistribution rights? I looked at the choices (What Best Describes You) when you start to sign up for those rights and I don't think I fall under any.
I was hoping to either just copy the 7 DLLs to the client computer or use the redistributable MSI installer to install SSCE.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Is it possible to I install SQL express by directly run .MSI files to do full installation and upgrade from MSDE 2000?
What would be the parameters and sequence of calling the MSI files.

Hi,
I asked this question in another thread that was already going but has had no activeity for a month or so..
I have read the command line artical and the clickonce artical about installing the sqlExpress on the client as a silent install. There are alot of holes in the articals and i am in big time need to get this resolved.
I would like someone to point me in the right direction on:
1. Client install sqlExpress from a link from my site ( with only click here type prompts )
2. Client install sqlExpress from msi that is with my application
3. The absolute mininum componets for sqlExpress to run on the client
4. Is it possiable to install sqlExpress in my application directory and not under the clients G:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server ??
*I only need to be able to mirror the exact tables and sprocs so that my clients can work in a disconnected enviroment.
NO problem with reading what every it takes; i just need to be pointed in the right direction.
HELP! HELP! HELP!

I am going to write a DOS batch file to execute a bunch of SSEUTIL command, such as
sseutil -run aaa.sql -m
sseutil -run bbb.sql -m
....
My question is, can I use the following skills to show error message if the aaa.sql failed to be executed?
SSEUTIL-run aaa.sql -m
if errorlevel 1 goto ERROR1
...
Thanks.
If I do the following:
sseutil -create test.mdf
sseutil -attach test.mdf
sseutil -run testscript.sql
it seems the first line in testscript.sql has to be use "<fullpath> est.mdf", or the script runs against some other database (which one, I'm not sure). It makes we wonder what the attach is doing.
Anyway, I'm looking for a command file way to create and define a database that is not tied to a directory structure. In other words, the commands above may be part of a .bat file, and many different developers may try to run this on their pc in an unknown directory. Any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated!
Thanx!
For a class I am taking, I have to write a SQL statement to return emails that show up in a table more than once. The schema for the table is:
Table: Users
Email - Varchar(75)
City - Varchar(75)
State - Char(2)
I have a proposed solution, but I am not sure it would work since there is no concrete implementation of this. The class is still doing basic SQL, so forgive my inexperience.
SELECT Email FROM Users WHERE (COUNT(Email) > 1)
Is this a valid solution? Thank you for any help

All,
When I try to start the SQL Server Express Utility (SSEUtil.exe), I get the following crash output message below ...
I have checked all of my instances. The all work with windows authentication and sql server authentication.
I have used the surface area configration manager to allow 'everything' and rebooted my machine.
I have tested each through osql. I have turned my firewall on an off. The problem stilll persists.
Could this have something to do with my SQL Services running under the local account?

Does sseutil work properly on vista? I need a way to programmatically detach a user instance on Vista.
The following launches and runs ok on XP.
Doesn't run on Vista? Is there some problem with Process on Vista? sseutil runs ok from the command line in Vista.
public void DetachDatabase(string filePath)
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("SSEUtil.exe");
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal; //.Hidden;
startInfo.Arguments = "-d "" + filePath + """;
Process detachProcess = Process.Start(startInfo);
while(!detachProcess.HasExited)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
A - Must Declare variable @ZipEntry - error generates when I run the code below. If I hard code the "WHERE ZipCode = 72364" it works (display messed up but it works - don't know how to code in the line breaks yet). But when I try to pass in the value of a TextBox called txtZipEntry on the page I get this error. Am I not delcaring @ZipCode in the correct spot ?
Thank you,
public partial class ContractorResultsDisplay : System.Web.UI.Page{string ZipEntry;protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
ZipEntry = txtZipEntry.Text;SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["localhomeexpoConnectionString2"].ConnectionString);string sql = "Select [City], [StateCode], [AreaCode], [Latitude], [Longitude], [ZipCode] From [ZipCensus11202006] Where ZipCode > @ZipEntry";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, con);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ZipEntry", ZipEntry);SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();da.Fill(ds, "ZipCodeRefs");StringBuilder htmlStr = new StringBuilder("");
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["ZipCodeRefs"].Rows){htmlStr.Append(dr["City"].ToString());}
ZipContent.Text = htmlStr.ToString();
}

Hey guys, I didn't know exactly where to post this, but I'm wondering what
the legal implications of decompiling a .DLL are ?
We are using SQL Reporting Services 2005 with the Excel Export option. The
problem is that our reports have a lot of hyperlinks on each page so we can
easly navigate all the reports, but when we go ahead and export the report,
all the hyperlinks get exported too; resulting in a file atleast 10x the size.
i.e we export a report and it results in a 20mb excel file, but once we
remove all the hyper links and save it again it drops down to a 500k file.
So I was wondering, what the legality was in decompiling the Excel
Export.DLL that comes with Reporting Services and removing the Hyperlink
export functionality ?
Thanks,
Raul
My workplace uses SQL Server 2000 with both a dev server and a production server. I would like to install my copy of SQL Server 2005 Eeveloper Edition at work to use the client tools strictly with the dev server. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the legality of this or if they can point me to any documentation that I can make sense of before I look into doing this.
Thanks,

While working in the report project in Visual Studio, I set my Report Layout to 14w x 8.5h with .25 margins on all sides, and the page size to be 13.5in (to take into account the margins). When I print from the report viewer control in Preview mode, the report prints as it should, in Landscape on Legal paper without me changing any settings.
When I deploy the same report to the report server, and print from there, the report prints in Landscape on Letter paper (which causes some columns to print on a second page).
Why is there a difference in the two environments? Is there something I'm missing?
The goal is for the users to be able to print the report correctly without having them change any print settings in the dialog.
Hi,
I have three systems that running different version of SQL sever..
1. my notebook - SQL Server Express 2005
2. my WS - SQL Server 2005 Standard
3. my server - SQL Server 2000
I installed SSEUtil to all of them and only the notebook works..
I read the Read me but it doesn't help me resolve my problem so I hope someone from this forum can help me out..
The problem:
Running sseutil on system 2. and 3. get this error, but not on 1.
SSEUtil
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)
Additional information:
The service 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' is not installed.
I tried -m but it doesn't help..
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks,
T.
When I push Add in the configuration dialog, I cannot even get to the first page of the configuration wizard, due to the following error, in several solutions (but not in several others). All have at least one existing configuration (necessarily, to get passwords for connections).

I am currently in the process of setting up an SQL Server Express installation that comes packaged with an application I have written. My problem is that I want to use SQL Server user management (not just windows users) which work fine if I set them up manually. I started writing a script that I have SSEUtil execute once the application is fully installed (a step in my installation script) which sets up the users and passwords etc. The script is similar to the following:
USE [DBName]
GO
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user1'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user2'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user3'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user4'
GO
USE [master]
GO
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user1'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user2'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user3'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user4'
GO
CREATE LOGIN user1 WITH Password = 'user1', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user2 WITH Password = 'user2', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user3 WITH Password = 'user3', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user4 WITH Password = 'user4', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
USE [DBName]
GO
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user1'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user2'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user3'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user4'
GO
ALTER USER user1 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user2 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user3 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user4 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
GO
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 FROM MyRole
GO
EXEC sp_DropRole 'MyRole'
EXEC sp_AddRole 'MyRole'
GO
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 TO MyRole
GO
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user1'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user2'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user3'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user4'
GO
Now if I run this script from within SQL Server Management Studio it executes perfectly. The logins add, the role is added, each user is added to the database logins and assigned to the role, the schema is set correctly on each user.
Then when I try to run the exact same script from the SSEUtil application (SSEUTIL -s PCNAMEInstance -run USERS.SQL), it processes everything, except the Logins.
This is frustrating as it means to install for a client I would need to either get them to open the management console and run the script from there, or I have to go to site just to setup users.
Am I on the right track? Or is there another way to automate the adding of Logins?
Thanks in advance,

I am using a Foreach loop container to go thru all the files downloaded from the ftp site and I am assigning the file name of each file to a variable at the foreach loop level called filename. In the dataflow task inside the foreach loop container, I have a source script component that uses a flat file connection. The connection string of the flat file connection is set to the filename variable declared at the foreach loop level. However the script component has a error System.ArgumentException: Empty pathname is not legal.
Please let me know how to correct this? The connectionString property of the flat file connection is set to the complete filename including the path. Does a script component need to have a flat file name specified in the flat file connection that it is using? I need to have a script source component as the flat file I am reading from is not in any of the standard formats.
The flat file connection manager's connection string property is blanked out the moment I specify an Expression for the connection string. Is this a defect or is it expected behavior.
Any inputs appreciated.
PS: I looked thru Jamie's blog at

Hi all,
I downloaded the SSEUtilSetup.EXE and extracted the SSEUtil.exe to a folder of C:drive of my PC that is Windows XP Pro. I plan to learn the CLR programming via user-instance of SQL Server Express. I need to have SQL Server Express Utility installed. Please help and tell me how I can install SSEUtil.exe in my PC and how I use it to interact with SQL Server Express.
Thanks,
