I have recently started using VWD and SQl Express. I want to set up a catalogue of books on sql express of which there are three hundred which will then be presented on a web site. I already have most of the books on an access file. This may sound silly (I'm quite new to programming) but is there any way I can get sql express to extract information from the access file to save me writing it all out again?
Thanks

Hi,I have an asp.net (C#) project running perfectly on 2 machines running SQL Express.I need to transfer it to a machine running SQL Server 2005 (I don't believe it has SQL Express installed). I've setup the database on the new machine by right clicking 'Data Connections', Selecting my machine as the server name and attaching the database file from the other machine in the App_Data folder. My connection string is as follows: Data Source=My Machine Name;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True It compiles fine, but when I try to access the profile object from C# (e.g. Profile.County), it fails with the following error: "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)"Line 19: public virtual string County {Line 20: get {Line 21: return ((string)(this.GetPropertyValue("County")));Line 22: }Line 23: set { N.B: This only seems to occur when I try to access Profile properties. I can access and update the tables I've created just fine, and I can access the user details tables created by Visual Studio just fine too (e.g. aspnet_Users).I understand the profile properties are stored in the database, am I missing a setting somewhere?Hope you can help.James Dimmock
I have an interesting challenge. we are not allowed to allow users direct access to data in our SQL Server. Audit requires us to take the data out of our production server and pass it to the user. my situation is i have a table in SQl with over 100,000 records and growing. i want to pass that to an access data base. i am utilizing DTS and a data transform.
i s there a better way? the package is running slow and even appears to freeze. i see this amount of data as growing as well.

I have a web app and database created in sql server 2005 express. In addition to using the membership and role providers I have added custom tables and stored procedures to my db. When I try to export this with Sql Server Management Studio (not the express version) to my db on my shared host(sql server 2005) the custom tables and stored procedures are not transferred.
How can this be accomplished?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am using MS Access 2003 SP2 to maintain some data tables. I use SSIS to transfer them to SQL Server 2005, Enterprise Edition.
When I run the SSIS package from within Visual Studio 2005, the package runs without error.
When I try to run the same SSIS package by double-clicking on it in my File System (which invokes the Execute Package Utility, Version: 1.0) none of the tables get copied. Instead all I receive is a message for each table,
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion 1" (49).
The only data conversion I perform is double-byte characters to single-byte characters.
Bob Bojanic, MSFT, made a few suggestions about this in another thread -- but I have created this new thread to help focus on this specific issue. In particular, he asked if we have installed the complete SSIS support for SQL Server 2005, Enterprise Edition, and my network support and database support staff assure me that such complete SSIS support was installed.
Are others having this problem?
Dan
(I just took a look at some of the transformations in the Data Conversion task, and many of them are using an Output Alias identical to the Input Column name. Might that be causing the problem? I will try changing the Output Alias for some tables and see if they then transfer correctly. The "identical name" Output Alias values were created by the Migration Wizard for a DTS 2000 package.)
I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server? I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit.

Hi
Sorry if i am posting in the wrong section but i can't find a forum for MS Access.
Does Access know of a equivelent to SQL Servers INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables?
I am writing a application that needs to extract information from a access database like, table names, relationships etc..
Please note that i need to do this via SQL.

I've been unsuccessful getting Reporting Services 2005 to work after reinstalling SQL 2005. The RS service cannot connect to its database, as reported in the Event Log. If I visit http://localhost/Reports, I get the error "Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009000B)
(rsRPCError)"
I've used the RS Config Mgr to create a fresh database for it named SSRS (and SSRSTembDB), and it is set to use Service Credentials in the db connection. The RS service is running using the same admin account as MSSQL, .SQLExec. I have confirmed that .SQLExec is in the RSExecRole role in the SSRS database.
When I created the SSRS database, the Config Mgr had a green check for every step except the last. For "Setting Connection Info for the Reporting Server" there was a yellow '!', with the explanation, "Although saving the database connection succeeded, the report server cannot access internal information about this deployment to determine if the current configuration is valid for this edition. ..."
I examined rsreportserver.config to look for any issues. The <dsn> element has an encrypted string, the <ConnectionType> element says "Default", and the logon elements are empty. I could not find the db names, SSRS and SSRSTempDB, anywhere in the file. Where are these kept? I don't know what else to look for.
Also, in RS Config Mgr, the 'Encryption Keys' page has a blue '!', and only the 'Restore' and 'Delete' buttons are enabled. The 'Initialization' page has a red 'X'. The local RS is not listed (the grid is empty), and clicking the 'Initialize' button does nothing.
How can I diagnose and fix this installation?
Hello,
I'm trying to create a web page that is protected by a user login. I want the user data to be stored in an access database file and not an SQL Server express database.
I was following this guide on msdn:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/879kf95c(VS.80).aspx
However, I was doing everything locally using a file system and not IIS. (Which seemed to work fine)
My main problem is that I cannot get the membership information stored in an access database. The only provider option was one for the SQL server express. I think I will have to make a custom provider? However, I read through some of that documentation and was equally confused. ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa479031.aspx )
Anyone have a solution?
Hello, I'm completly new to SQL server 2005 express and wanted to see if somebody can answer a few questions for me.
I recently had a small application developed to import CSV files into a SQL database. The application imports roughly 200,000 records a day and takes roughly 4 hours or longer to import the data. I greatly under estimated the amount of time that it would take to import the data and I'm looking for some solutions to help speed up the process. I'm currently just using my laptop to hold the data. Would it help speed things up by dedicating a seperate machine to hold the data? If so, what type of machine would be best. I'm looking for a cost effective solution because the data is for personal use.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
I am taking my first stab at a 3 tier architecture within ASP.Net. I have been adding datasets and creating a new Insert to add certain parts to a table. I am trying to add a date field called 'DateAdded' and is setup in SQL as a DateTime. When Visual Studio auto created the dataset, the Insert function is not "DateAdded as Datetime" as I would have expected, but it is "DateAdded as System.Nullable(Of Date)". There is a space in between 'Of' and 'Date'. If I keep the space in there the insert function shows an error that says "Arguement not specified for parameter DateAdded of funtion( etc. etc.). If I take the space out, the error on the insert function goes away but there is an error within the "OfDate" that says "Array bound cannot appear in type specifiers". I am confused on why the date format changed and how I can get a date to go into the database using the autogenerated datasets from Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
View 1 Replies View RelatedTill recently we were using the following code to retreive schema information of columns of tables
Dim schemaTable = connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable( _
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, _
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, tableName, Nothing})
Now instead of getting the name of table (which i was using as param for filtering) i'm going to receive a sql-query. Now my question is if I were to get a query like the following :
SELECT
[EmployeeID],
[Title] + ' ' + [LastName] + ' ' + [FirstName] AS FullName,
[BirthDate],
[Address],
[City] + ', ' + [Region] + ', ' + [Country] + ' - ' + [PostalCode] AS FullAddress
FROM [dbo].[Employees]
Then how can I retrieve the schema information of only the columns present in the query.
(Its possible that i might get a query with multiple tables with joints)...

Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next.
Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider.
Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder).
Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...
I'am doing functionality test on DTS packages and saving my DTS packages to meta data services instead of saving them as local packages.

I am new to accessing sql stuff and asp.net I have some code in a .cs page that accesses a sql database and displays the information on a page from top to bottom (press releases: www.managewatch.com/press). I created this site but I used the code from the old site and just implemented it. I'd like to have the press releases display from newest on top to oldest on bottom. Is there a way I can do this? I have included the code in my cs page that does this: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // connect to db SqlConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xxxx"].ConnectionString); db.Open(); // Initialize Objects SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = db; SqlDataReader row; // COUNT PAGES ######################################## cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press"; row = cmd.ExecuteReader(); while (row.Read()) { Literal pressReleaseTitle = new Literal(); Literal pressReleaseBody = new Literal(); pressReleaseTitle.Text = "<div id='pressheader'>" + row["title"].ToString() + "</div>"; pressReleaseBody.Text = "<div id='pressbody'>" + row["content"].ToString() + "</div><br>"; lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseTitle); lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseBody); } row.Close(); db.Close(); } I can see what is happening here "cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press";" tells it to get all the info from "press" but I just don't get the " row = cmd.ExecuteReader();" part. Is this just grabbing one line of the database? what does this code do? Thanks!

I need to find a program that I can change my MS Access databases into SQL databases. My sites on the server are getting to many visitors and access is crashing the server. So I need to find a fast program that can covert a access database into SQL very quickly. I have not found one out there yet so any direction would help. I tried using the upsizing in access and that does not work on my machine so I would like a stand alone program.
Thanks for the help

i have an older asp web application (not .net) which connects to an access database and reads tables. the .mdb file resides on the web server, along with the asp page. the access db is going away, and the tables have been re-created in SQL express. I need to figure out how to connect and read the tables from either the existing non dot.net asp application, or a new php application.
I have read the post
FAQ: How to connect to SQL Express from "downlevel clients"(Access 2003, VS 2003, VB 6, etc(basically anything that is not using .Net 2.0 or the new SQL Native Client))some more fundamental questions are:
1) can I upload the the SQL express MDF file to the IIS server, and connect to it as a stand-alone file (like i could with the access mdb file)? *** note: SQL express NOT installed on this server, just the standalone mdf file uploaded)
1)a) if yes, what additional code will i need? i am unsuccessful in using the following connection string
set conntemp=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=sonnys_inventory.mdf"
conntemp.Open connectionString
1)b) if no - i need to install SQL express on the IIS server. do i then upload the mdf file to the server and "attach" it through the SQL management program and follow directions in the post mentioned above?

Hi,
i am very new to databases. I use VWD 2005, Sql Server Express 2005 and have a remote database through a host rather than my own server. i have managed to create sql databases fine. Its with Access Databases Im really geting confused:
Can i use an access database I have created using VWD and sql server Express 2005? Or would it run just through VWD and the remote ?
If i use VWD I dont usually need to use IIS but if the latter of the two options is what I must do then i would manually need to create a virtual folder?

Can a database on SQL Express 2005 server be accessed remotely in a network?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've installed Visual Studio Express C# and Visual Studio Express Web Designer along with SQL Server. I've downloaded the example databases and have installed them - I can access the databases using the SQL Server tools.
When I try to access any SQL Server databases (specifically the Northwind example DB) via the Add Database Connection dialog in either C# or Web Designer, I get an error box with message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
I get this when I manually enter Northwind in the Database Name field; if I try to browse, the whole dialog exits, or, sometimes Visual C# Express crashes. Since the same problem occurs both within C# and Web Designer, I'm assuming the problem is in SQL Server, which is why I'm posting in this forum.
I'm sure I have some configuration problem, and a complete uninstall/reinstall is certainly a possibility, but I'm hoping someone has an idea about how I can around this problem without having to reinstall.
Thanks for your time,
