Shall I Use SQL Expess Without A Permanet DBA ?

Mar 2, 2007

Hello and thanks for your time.

I hope I am in the right forum, if not please let me know wher I should have post.

I am currently looking for a solution for a client of mine. He does not have IT internal ressorce just a mild power user and I don't plan to be with hime every day.

I was wondering if SQL Express was a good solution for him.


I am expert in Access but SQL Express looks a lot more complicated. I am sure I can master SQL Express it in not too much time but will you recommand it for a comagny that does not have a permanent DBA ?

Thanks for your advice.

Have all a nice day.

Troublshooting With SQL Server 2005 Expess Edition

Mar 19, 2007

Hi, all there!

I have a simple question. About one month ago I installed MSDE on Windows XP SP 2 machine, so I should be able to project my databases made in Access 2003. It work well for a while. Then a few days ago I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition, but simply forgot to read about upgrading MSDE to SQL Server.

After installing SQL Server I yesterday decided to uninstall MSDE and uninstall it, cause I thought that I won't be need it ever again.

When I tried today to conect my project to SQL Server by sqlcmd utility, there was a message that Server was not found, and connection is not possible to attach.

How to solve my problem? I thought to install MSDE again on my machine, but wasn't sure is it good idea.

Please help me out.

Problem Install SQL Server 2005 Expess SP2 With Advanced Services On Windows XP SP3

May 20, 2008



When I try to install SQL Server 2005 Expess SP2 with Advanced Services on a clean Windows XP system that has had Service Pack 3 applied I get the error "Setup is missing prerequisites: - MSXML6" when it starts to install SQL Server Management Studio Express. This is despite the fact that earlier in the installation is says it installed MSXML6, and my understanding is that MSXML6 is part of Windows XP Service Pack 3 anyway.

The SQL Express installation stops installing components at this point. The database server itself does seem to be operational.

Is there anything I can do to work around this? I would like our customers to be able to install and use Management Studio Express.

Here is the relevant snippet from SQLSetup0006_LUDQAVMXPEN_SSMSEE_1.log

The Folowing code is not working anymore. (500 error)

Set objRS = strSQL1.Execute
strSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM BannerRotor where BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID)
objRS.Open strSQL1, objConn , 2 , 3 , adCmdText
If not (objRS.BOF and objRS.EOF) Then
objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value =objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value + 1
objRS.update
End If
objRS.Close

The .execute Method works fine

strSQL1 = "UPDATE BannerRotor SET Exposures=Exposures+1 WHERE BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID)
objConn.Execute strSQL1

SQL Server Expess Vs SQL Server 2000

Mar 31, 2006

I have SQL Server Express (and VB Express) installed on my computer. My client has SQL Server 2000. Can I develop a database using SQL Express (and VB Express) and later transfer to my client's computer? Or can I export from SQL express to SQL 2000?

Secondly, and not related to above question, can SQL express be used for large databases. I am aware of its limited features, but that does not matter to me.

Thanx.
