Telling The Difference Between A SQLServer/SQLServerExpress DB
Jan 8, 2008
I'm a long time user of sQL Server just getting started with SQL Server Express 2005 and I'm alittle confused about how to tell the difference between a SQL Server DB and an Express DB. I understand they both appear in SS Management Sudio. Actually I'm trying to create my first SQL Server Express database, and I'm not seeing any switches in the Create Database statement for specifying an Express database. Is there no difference between a regular and Express datbase?

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2005. I tried connecting to my local machine by using my machine name as Server name and then tried running the following query:
SELECT * FROM SYS.Objects. It gives me following error:
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Whereas, if I connect to my local machine using mahcinenameSQLEXPRESS, then the above mentioned query runs fine.
Why is this difference? What is the difference when I login in these 2 different ways.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Any help

If I have a sqlserver express database (very simple, 3 tables) where I have installed sqlserver express on my main internal "C" drive but changed the data files location to an external fast E-sata drive, my question is whether I can use an identical computer with an identical copy of sqlserver express installed, and the database tables etc set up the same, to access and use the same data as the first, assuming of course that I disconnect the e-sata drive from the first computer and plug it in to the second one??? Will this work?? Im trying to quickly get a small but critical data aquisition system back up with minimal loss of time and data if the first computer fails. O.S. is windows xp.
Thanks

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'mcurrently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is somepre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. Thereason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when itreaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overheadif the user installs onto a full SQL server instance.ThanksRobin

I have a custom folder layout for reporting services on our test environment so each tester can test the reports against the data in their own instances. The developers have reports in a different layout that's more in line with what will be in production. So I figured some simple RS scripting would handle things.
It was easy to create the folder structure, easy to create the shared data sources in each testers reports folders, and easy to deploy the report from the developers folder (source) to the testers report folders. However, when I try to use SetItemDataSources to change the data source in the newly duplicated reports, I keep getting an error telling me that the data source cannot be found.
Here's the relevant code fragment:
'Set report DataSource references
Dim DataSources(0) As DataSource
DataSources(0) = New DataSource
' update with new data source info
DataSources(0).Name = strDSName
Dim Item1 as DataSourceReference = New DataSourceReference
Item1.Reference = strRef
DataSources(0).Item = Item1
Console.WriteLine( "Setting report {0}, data source to {1}", strTargetReport, strRef)
RS.SetItemDataSources( strTargetReport, DataSources)
strDSName is "OLTP", strRef is the path to the shared data source, "/Reports/Tester1/Data Sources/OLTP". strTargetReport is the name of the report itself, full path name to "/Reports/Tester1/Report1".
Each tester has their own folder off the main reports folder "Reports", with an incremental number, as in "Tester1". Each testers folder has it's own Data Sources folder. There is only one data source for all reports, "OLTP".
/Reports
/Reports/Tester1
/Reports/Tester1/Data Sources
/Reports/Tester1/Data Sources/OLTP
/Reports/Tester1/Report1
/Reports/Tester1/Report2
I even went into SQL Server Management Studio and tried changing the (now broken) data source setting for a report to point to the correct data source (OLTP), then copied the generated script, then ran it - and still got the data source cannot be found error. That's what my latest code shown above was based on.
Anyone got any clues?
Thanks,

hello, i΄d like to work with (first learn) all features of the SQL Server Express Advanced Service and Visual Basic 2005 (incl. Connect SQL Server databases from Visual Studio/ VB2005). Before I΄ll make a mistake with the install (the numerous versions make me confused) I΄d like to ask you which is the correct way to install both:
1) Should I first install SQLServer Express Advanced Service and then Visual Studio (Visual Basic without SQLServerExpress - if it΄s possible switch off this compound) ??
or
2) Install Visual Studio Express (I΄ve got the DVD from Microsoft) with (or without ?) the SQLServerExpress Edition and then upgrade to the SQLServer Express Advanced Service by starting the SSE Advanced-Service setup-file ??
thank you very much in advance

I'm trying to deploy a project that I deployed yesterday just fine, but today I get the following error:
------ Deploy started: Project: Point Reports, Configuration: Debug ------
Deploying to http://reporting.companyname.com/reportserver
Deploying data source '/Data Sources/Srv24.FieldResponse2_1'.
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAINharley.p.bartman' are insufficient for performing this operation.
Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
This seems like a basic permission issue, except I'm not logged in as the user listed! I've never logged into my computer as the user. I did log in to the reporting services website yesterday as that user, but since have rebooted my machine and logged into bothe my computer and the reporting services website as me. Yesterday this report deployed fine. Today, this error message. I've even tried creating a new project and just creating a simple datasource and deploying just that, but still this message! Where is Visual Studio storing and reusing this user name during my deploy process???

We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?
Regards,
Skipper.

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."

Hello,
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
Thanks in advance,

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Hello Expert!

I need to Import Data TblShift from Access to SQLServer using DTS Ive done this successfully!
Now I want to use parameter so I only importing record within range (e.g. ShiftDate BETWEEN 05-24-2006 AND 06-23-2006)
In SQLServer, I have created table to store the date range as following:
TblParameter

DateTo: 05/23/2006
How do I use the date range from TblParameter(SQLServer) to import record from TblShift(Access) using DTS?
Is this possible or any better solution for this?

Is there really a difference of approach?
I have several things to consider in an estimating database. Production, Shipping, Field Work, Field Hardware, etc...
All of the above have account numbers. Now I was wondering, would there be any benifit to having one table or several tables?
One Table Example
Account (PK) | Category | Description
or
Multiple tables
tbProduction
Account (PK) | Description
tbShipping
Account (PK) | Description
tbProducts
Account (PK) | Description
etc.....
I like having the tables split up and/or all in one.
Any thoughts, pros / cons?
