Hello there,
Now I'm really down, how do I simply create a Table in a database?
It must be something likeCreate Table TableName
(
column_name data_type
)
But first how do I execute that string, so it create the table..
And if we get that far, how do you then set a table to primarykey?
Hope really for help, because this is a importen thing, and I cant find the answer? :S
I am developing a asp.net app and I have a long, very long list of data fields.
The values of the data fields have to be saved to a SQL database. The list is so long that it a pain in the ass to have to write all the code even to declare an object and all its properties by hand. So...
I made a list of all the field names and types and load it all up in an array. Then I wrote a bunch of macros to write all the properties one by one with the corredt type for the object I needed to create instead of doing it all one by one by hand.
I want to do the same thing with the Database. I dont want to have to hand define all the fiedls 1 by 1 by hand in the IDE. I want to write a simple macro, a loop theat loops thru my array and creates a field with the field name and type that it says in the array.
Simple enough.. Now I have the table defined already since that was simple enough. It is the 200 ++ fields that I dont wanna do.
So, please what is the code I need (in VB) to create 1 simple field in an existing table. Say the table is called "Table1" in the database "Database1" and the field I want is to be called "Field1" and to be 250 chr string..... ???
Thank you Marc
I am a starter of vb.net and trying to build a web application. Do anyone know how to create a temp table to store data from database? I need to extract data from 3 different tables (Profile,Family,Quali). Therefore, i need to use 3 different queries to extract from the 3 tables and then store it in the temp table. Then, i need to output the data from temp table to the screen. Do anyone can help me?

Hi
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
thanks hopefully

I've installed VS.NET 2005 Professional many times and find that the MS SQL Express 2005 is running.
My ambition is to log into this server so that I can convert my MySQL database into it. What is the default;
Hostname

What tool is provided so that I might execute my schema to create a database in this server. This 'schema' will obviously have many tables inside. Most SQL products provide some type of utility program where one can create, edit, delete databases and an adminstration program. I see nothing of yours in my Programs -> MS SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Computer Manager.

Hi.
A newbie question. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out how in Sql Server 2005 to get a printout (or even better a file I can save that i could incroporate in a wrod document), or both, which shows the structure of all the tables in my database.
I want to list all tables (or selected tables perhaps) , and all columns in those tables, with the attributes of each column (nvarchar(2) etc or decimal(18,5) etc). Just a simple listing of all tables and their columns and the attributes of those columns.
Surely this must be possible with a simple one click operation in Sql Server 2005. I have created a database diagram which gives me part of what I want, but that just shows the tables, relationships, and column names, not the attributes of each column which is what I need as well.
I don't want to have to start installing third party products to do this, and I have no great script writing capabilities. Surely such a basic function is easily acheivable with one or two clicks in Sql Server 2005 from a menu somewhere in sql server mangaement studio?
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Hi all,
I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add the "VALUES": (1) Do I put the precision and scale of the decimal wrong? (2) Do I have to use "GO" after each "VALUES"? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I have some code that dynamically creates a database (name is @FullName) andthen creates a table within that database. Is it possible to wrap thesethings into a transaction such that if any one of the following fails, thedatabase "creation" is rolledback. Otherwise, I would try deleting on errordetection, but it could get messy.IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE DATABASE ' + @FullNameEXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] ( [ID][int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL, [Blob] [image] NULL , [DateAdded] [datetime]NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] WITHNOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Image] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ) ON[PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorEND

I am trying to create a new Sql Express Database (.mdf file) from inside Visual Studio 2005. I did the following:
1) Created a Database Project in Visual Studio.
2) Choose Data Source to be Microsoft SQL Server Database File
3) Browse to a directory and enter a file name for the new database, say abc.mdf
4) When I click OK, Visual Studio prompts me if I want to create the database file, I click yes.
5) After a while, I get this error message:
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)
Then I opened SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I enabled Named Pipes and TCP/IP for both SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER. It prompts me that the settings will not change until the service is re-started.
When I go to Administrative Tools -> Services, I see that SQLServer (MSSQLSERVER) is started, and SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is stopped. I can stop the MSSQLSERVER service. But when I tried to start SQLEXPRESS service, I get the following error message:
Windows could not start the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Lo9g. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 17058.
I have Visual Stuio 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Installed on my machine, and I believe I am logged on using an administrator account.
Can someone help me to figure out what's wrong please?

Using Visual Web Designer 2005 Express and SQL Server Express 2005 I am not able to create a "working" SQL database. I am able to use the NORTHWIND.MDF and other tutorial .mdf files without any problems. I am presently using an MS Access database without any problems. I was able to use the upsize wizard in Access to create a SQL database (which isn't recognized by VWD). I have downloaded the SQL Server Management Studio Express. OK, I think I'm ready to go. When I attempt to create a new SQL database through VWD 2005 I receive an error "Connections to SQL Server files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express to be working properly. Please verify the installation of the component..." I reinstalled the software, but get the same message.What am I missing please?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.
I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.
Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide...

hi
i have a database file backup which is having no extension (eg saims) . Can i create a database using this backup in sql server expression edition.

Thanx in advance
Hi,
I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
