Two Instances (SQLEXPRESS And MSSQLSERVER)
Nov 21, 2005Hi there,
View 8 RepliesHi there,
View 8 Repliesi had sqlserver2000 (including the enterprise manager and desktop engine) and .net 2003 installed in my development machine, I developed a vb.net application that communicates with a locally hosted mssql db.
recently i had .net 2005 and MS Server 2005 installed, then I converted my application in .net 2005, after, I started having problem deploying the application and db together to client machine and even on my own development machine, it's all database communication sort of problems. (now i have SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP installed)
Did i make any mistake? should i uninstall sqlserver2000, .net 2003 before installing server2005 and .net 2005?
btw, in my explorer, C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server, i have 5 subfolders: "80", "90", "MSSQL", "MSSQL.1" and "MSSQL$SETUPTESTAPPINS". i know that 80 and MSSQL are the folders for server2000, 90 and MSSQL.1 are probably server2005 folders. but what is "MSSQL$SETUPTESTAPPINS"? from the readme.txt i found it's related to server2000, but what is it about?
also, in my registry, HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Microsoft SQL Server/, the value of "InstalledInstances" is MSSQL SETUP TESTAPPINS SQLEXPRESS, after i removed SQLServer2000 stuff, the key value became "SETUP TESTAPPINS SQLEXPRESS", Now i dont have server2000 in my system anymore, how come SETUP TESTAPPIN is still there?
sorry for my bad explanation, plz help
Visual Studio 2005 Professional:
Windows XP Professional:
Frequently, SQL Server (SQLExpress) will be stopped and I am unable to test my application. When this happens SQL Server (MSSQLServer) is running.
I have to turn off my computer selecting 'turn off' and do a cold reboot. Selecting 'restart' will not do it.
Then SQLExpress is running and MSSQLServer is stopped and I can run my app.
How can I ensure that SQLExpress is running and not MSSQLServer?
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am creating an SQL database with a web enabled front end. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to create the database objects and an ASP.NET web page created in Visual Studio for the front end. My problem is centered around the two server instances which come with Visual Studio (MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS). The database objects are being created on MSSQLSERVER by Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. However, in a Visual Studio ASP.NET web page, when I create a new conection string using the menu functionality, in the SQLDATASOURCE object or in the server explorer, only (My Computer Name)SQLEXPRESS shows up as an option. I have tried typing (My Computer Name)MSSQLSERVER in but the database list just comes up blank. I know that MSSQLSERVER exists because I have one active connection string to it created by a friend. They had to juggle a lot of things to make MSSQLSERVER appear and since I was just getting started then it went over my head. Whatever they did was temporary though and I havn't been able to repeat it to add new connection strings. To eliminate some of the obvious things in other posts:
*MSSQLSERVER is Started in the Services Screen
*In the configuration manager MSSQLSERVER has shared memory enabled
*On the advice of one post or proceedure I enabled TCP/IP and restarted the service (I think this is actually for remote connections everything I am doing is on one PC)
What I really want is to have things permanently set up so MSSQLSERVER always shows up as an option when creating a connection string in Visual Studio. If this means getting rid of SQLEXPRESS I won't shed too many tears.
As you have noticed everything in this is centered around Visual Studio's menu functionality. I am currently make thee code paradigm shifts.
Form -> ASP.NET
VB6 -> VB .method
ADO -> SQL
I have created some pages in ASP.NET and have started creating objects using source instead of designer.
I have automated some of the functionality on those pages using VB .method programing
While I have created some simple SQL select and bulk insert statements my SQL is still pretty weak and I haven't learned connection strings or driving changes back to the database using Transact-SQL
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.

The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".
Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?

Hi All,
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Can anybody help me out .

I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?
Hi All,I've been struggling with this for hours...Could someone please advise me on how to convert my current File based SQL Server Express website to a Server based SQL Express one.Particularly interested in what I need to do in the SQL Express management tool, changes I need to make the projecvt itself and changes needed to get IIS to understand things have been changed.Thanks,Martin.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTo start a named instance of SQL Server
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to
Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then
click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand Services, and
then click SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER).There is no MSSQLSERVER to click!!!!!!!!
The Microsoft SQL Server icon is showing on my task bar but with a white (blank) circle "stamped" over the bottom right of the icon.
To me it seems that the implication is that somehow the server is not being recognized as (local)etSDK.
Resting the mouse arrow on the Server icon displays: unknown - \ - MSSQLServer
Needless to say something is quite wrong and I cannot open nor create ANY DATA while on WebMatrix.
If I right-click on the server icon and select "Start" I get the following error: "Invalid handle" which apparently is error number 6.
Previously, after many try-outs I managed to at least put the server icon on the task bar by making use of a setup.ini file that reads as shown below (and then typing from the MSDE sub directory while in MSDOS "setup.exe").
[Options]
INSTANCENAME=CADComputing
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD=myPassword539
Is there a way out of this mess?????
I am seeing a strange scenario in performance monitor that i am hoping someone could help shed some light on. I have a 8 processor box running only sql configured to utilize all processors. When watching the sqlservr process it seems to max out at times of high traffic. Does this not use all processors? Any know problems with this service maxing out?
Your assistance is appreciated,
David
MSSQLSERVER won't restart. I can't uninstall SS7, either, because it says I have MSSEARCH running, which Task Manager can't kill (access denied, even to me the administrator). Tried changing the registry keys for MSSQL to MSSQL_old and then the install goes forward but fails at the end because some of the TEMPDB files cannot be activated. This trick worked on my Win98SE once, for the same problem. I ignorantly deleted IE4 from the server's C:drive because I needed more room to reinstall. I tried reinstalling the SS7 "components" (no apparent problem, except it detects that I have now installed IE5.5)(IE5.5 automatically installs to C:Program FilesMicrosoft or thereabouts, not C: where IE4 was, by the way). I was up to SP2 on SS7, and SP6 on NT4. The name of the server hasn't changed, but the name of the c:drive is new. Why would a new install care? I ran scandisk inbetween reboots as a caution, but the install always fails. Should I be choosing the default "allow 5 connections" rather than "5 per computer licenses"? TIA, Jeb
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed SQL server 2005 on a win2003 server box.
When I open the Connect to Server dialog box, I choose server type: Database Engine. There is no Servername listed, so I put in the name of the PC.
I get a long error message when I try to connect:
Cannot connect to PCName....
...error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)...
When I try to go into the Surface area Configuration, I get this message:
"No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLSAC)"
I am logged in as Administrator in the PC, so did I do something seriously wrong with the installation?
In the services window, I can not fine MSSQLserver (not sure if this is relevant).

Help! I just took over for a new company and after logging in to one of the servers I tried to click on the Symantec Backup Exec on the desktop. It failed and said that none of the services are started, looking in my services I can not get any of the services related to sql to start. In the bottom right hand corner in the system tray I have a red dot on the sql server and it is stopped. All the event logs say that: During redoing of a logged operation in database 'master', an error occurred at log record ID (199:200:5). Typically, the specific failure is previously logged as an error in the Windows Event Log service. Restore the database from a full backup, or repair the database.
Thanks
I installed a copy of SQL server 2005 on a Win 2003 machine. I connected remotely from another machine and started Sql Server Configuration manager. The MSSQLServer is stopped. So, I click to start and it failed. The error it gave me was that it time out. I am new to SQL 2005 and I thought the next step after installing was to configure. Can anyone help me please.

Insert or update statements seems to be locking entire page or table rather than locking
the corresponding row to be inserted or updated.
lets assume the table with 3 rows.
scenario 1)
In transaction A, I'm updating the 3'rd row. and in another transaction B I'm reading
row 1.
Transaction B seems to be waiting for transaction A to finish before returning the select results.
Scenario 2)
In transaction A, I'm inserting new row (4'th row) and in another transaction B I'm reading
row 1.
here as well trasaction B does not return the row 1 unless transaction A is complete.
Select operation is blocked due to insert.
Ideally in both the scenarios , read operation should have returned the results without waiting
for update/insert to finish. As the read is being done on different rows than that of being updated
or inserted.
I have tried both the insert/update as well as select queries with all the possible locking hints
such as ROWLOCK, READCOMMITED, UPDLOCK etc...
The only way select query returns the row without blocking is by using the NOLOCK locking hint. But then this is
not the proper solution as it gives us the dirty read.
Please suggest me any solution or workaround for above issue.
I am experiencing an issue with the MSSQLSERVER shutting down automically at 6:00 every 3 days. I do have 2 jobs that run at this time, but they run everyday. We did not install anything additional on the server and we are running SP3a. This just started on April 15, 2006. The Windows Event log displays the following message:
4/21/20066:00:08 PMMSSQLSERVERError(2)17052N/A<server name>The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.
The service stops and does not restart. It required me to restart the service manually.
Any help would be appreciated.
