User In Instance Vs Database
Nov 28, 2012
I'm database novice and would like to get confirmation or correction on my understanding of the difference between a user under a sql server instance vs a user in a sql server database. For example, a user can be added under Instance-->Security--Login and a user can be added under Instance-->Databases-->Database Name-->Security-->Users.
Is the difference that the login under the instance is used for logging into the database via management studio and the user under the database is for database access? Also, is one dependent on the other? So if I want to add a user to the database, they have to be added to the instance first?

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-
Server Error in '/UKSD' Application.

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!
Jeff

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.

No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€śFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Hello...
Is there any way to create a new database directly as a user instance. I guess this means creating a new mdf/ldf pair which is detached from the server after its created.
Thank you...

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
When I try to create a new DataBase (*.mdf) in Visual Studio 2005, I get an error " Unable to create user instance. This option has been disabled"
How should I overcome this issue?

Hi,
As per my understanding, if the user instance property is set to true for an express database then it is not multiuser/shared. A copy of the database is made for each user so he works on his private data. On the other hand, if user instance property is set to false then the express database is multiuser/shared. Thus different users will connect to the same instance of the database and changes by one user will be seen by the other users.
Now, if we use an express database with asp.net and our application is installed on IIS then it is mandatory for the express database to have the user instance property set to true. But we see that in this case when different users visit our website, the data they enter goes into the same common database, ie. all the users share the same common database, even though user instance is true for the express database.
Please shed some light to explain the correct functionality of the user instance property as related to the express database.
Regards, Sandy

Hi, Folks. I hate to have to come back and ask about restores right after I had to ask about Back ups, but I'm in a bind and can't seem to find other resources that address this issue.
I'm using VB Express 2005 and SQL Express 2005 to develop a windows form application that uses a User Instance of a database. With help from this forum, I was able to get the backup working. Now, I can't get the restore to work. Here's the code I'm using:
Dim SqlConnection As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.NCSConnectionString)
SqlConnection.Open()
Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(SqlConnection)
Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)
'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.
Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(My.Settings.DefaultBackUpPath & "NCS_Full_Backup1.bak", DeviceType.File)
''Define a Restore object variable.
Dim rs = New Restore
'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.
rs.NoRecovery = True
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
rs.NoRecovery = False
'Specify the database name.
rs.Database = SqlConnection.Database.ToString()
'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
'Inform the user that the Full Database Restore is complete.
MsgBox("Full Database Restore complete.")
The error is:
- InnerException {"RESTORE cannot process database 'C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSMARCOSMY DOCUMENTSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSWORKING COPY OF NCSNCSBINDEBUGNCS.MDF' because it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when performing this operation.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."} System.Exception
I think that I need to either free up something that's locking the database or I need to switch to the master table in the User Instance. I tried a number of variations in attempt to try both of these avenues without sucess.
I'd really appreciate any guidance that I might be able to get.
Thank you,
MF

Hi all. I have read and implemented the very helpful threads on backing up and restoring with user instance posted with MFriedlander. Thank you. However, during the rs.SqlRestore(srv) command I am getting the following error "Restore failed for Server '\.pipe4A1F91FF-F6FE-45 sqlquery'. "
"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use."
I have implemented the changedatabase method as described in that thread.
SqlConnection.ChangeDatabase("master")
right before the line
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
I do not use the default instance of sql express, but I do use an instance called 'test' for my app. Should my changedatabase method also refer to my sql instance?
I am running from VS 2005 debug (F5) when it fails and cannot think of anything that would be locking it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Below is the full code of the restore.
Robert
Dim sqlconnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbTestConnectionString)
sqlconnection.Open()
MsgBox(sqlconnection.Database.ToString())
Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New ServerConnection(sqlconnection)
Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)
'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.
Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(txtRestoreFile.Text, DeviceType.File)
''Define a Restore object variable.
Dim rs As New Restore
'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.
rs.NoRecovery = True
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
'don't know why the below norecovery is changed to false
rs.NoRecovery = False
'Specify the database name.
rs.Database = sqlconnection.Database.ToString()
sqlconnection.ChangeDatabase("master")
'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.

Hi all,
I'm using VS2005 + SQL Compact 3.1 and Enterprise Library 3.1 May 2007
I can successfully create a db using pull method, when I try to push back data I got the following SQLCE error:
"Another user has opened the database with different instance-level initialization properties. [ 32 ]"
Before calling the push method I did
SqlCeDatabase eCE = Helper.GetDB() as SqlCeDatabase;
eCE.CloseSharedConnection();
SqlCeConnectionPool.CloseSharedConnections();
SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess();
rda.InternetUrl = webSynchronizationUrl;
rda.InternetLogin = webuser;
rda.InternetPassword = webpass;
rda.LocalConnectionString = eCE.ConnectionStringWithoutCredentials;
but after the assignment the LocalConnectionString is different from ConnectionStringWithoutCredentials, there are much more ssce parameters.
What I don't understand is:
why I'm getting this error even after closing the connection ?
Since the error report [32] the ssce conflicting parameters shoud be AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD, FLUSH_INTERVAL and MAX_DATABASE_SIZE
I tried to cut & paste the same values from LocalConnectionString into app.config connection string, at first It seemed to work, but now I got the same error.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.
The specific error displayed in the browser is:
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
In event viewer is this message:
Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
My connection string is this:
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Any suggestions about how I can correct this?

I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
Can anyone help me with this?

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..
Thanks in advance..

I keep getting User Instance errors -
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
I get this error:
When I run SSEUTIL
When I open the Movie Collection Starter Kit and hit F5
When I create a new Windows Forms application and use Add Item/SQL Database after right-clicking on the newly-created project node in Solution Explorer.
The first error message in the Error Log in C:Documents and Settings<username>Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS shows something like this after the above operations:
2006-05-25 08:28:26.07 spid5s Starting up database 'master'.

Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.
2006-05-25 08:28:26.18 spid5s Error: 17204, Severity: 16, State: 1.

Sure enough, when I look at the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server directory, there is no MSSQL.3 dir. Those are the symptoms. What's the diagnosis and treatment?

Does annybody know how I can chance de User Instance to True.
I don't mean chanching it in web.config but by the SQL Server 2005 configuration.
I try to add a database to my project but i get the following message.
Generating user instance in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instance enabled' to generate user instance.
Thanks for responding.
Erich.

What would happen if I deploy my Asp.net Web Application with default setting of Sql Express and user instance set to true in the connection string? Where will the database be created and under whose account?

I'm developing my website in my docs. Once I get a version that is stable I move it over to inetput/wwwroot. When I login to my site it says it failed to generate a user instance.... for (Server)/aspnet. However, I have specified a username / password in my connection string. Any ideas?
<add name="tppConnection" connectionString="Server=(local)SqlExpress;Database=theProductPad;User ID=username;Password=password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

Hi
Im in a bit of a pickle due to a large amount of data in a table and the query Im running is taking a very long time, so Id like to get some advice from the guys here to see if it can be done another way.
Ok, so heres the background. I have a table, see desc below, that contains transaction data for a number of users. Each user may have more than one transaction. In each row the SEQUENCENUMBER column is populated with a timestamp for the transaction, so I was using this to get the latest. However there are over 1 million rows in the table and the query below has taken over 12 hours so far to run. Has anyone any ideas on how I can make life a little easier for myself here?
SQL Query
Code:
select user,recipient,sequencenumber from trans_database where user IN (select distinct(user) from trans_database)
order by sequencenumber desc limit 1;
Table Layout
Code:
ID int(10) unsigned (NULL) NO PRI (NULL) auto_increment select,insert,update,references
RECIPIENT varchar(5) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
DONOR varchar(5) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
USER varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
UPDATETYPE varchar(10) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
REPFLAG varchar(1) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
OPFIELD varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
SEQUENCENUMBER varchar(18) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
REQUESTDTS varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
PROCESSED varchar(1) latin1_swedish_ci YES (NULL) select,insert,update,references

I was wondering whether anybody could confirm an assumption for me. The information on SQL Server Express talks a lot about its special "User Instance" mode and how it can help to simplify deployment because you can go back to just copying in a file to set up your database, and how this is great for dealing with limited user security environments. However, I have some questions surrounding whether or not this is really as great as it's cracked up to be -- I saw somewhere, for example, that made it sound like you have to be coding your application in .NET in order to use it; and it sounded like it pretty much gives the end user full access to their personal SQL Server instance, which I might not necessarily want from an application perspective. The assumption that I wanted to confirm was this€¦ Let's say that you're NOT using the "User Instance" mode. What do you then need to do in order to create the initial shell of your application database at deployment time? I was assuming that you end up having to have some sort of SQL script that does the database creation instead (including, I assume, assigning proper rights to tables to BUILTINUsers as necessary). Is that correct?

Hello:
I have a requirement to connect to a user instance of sql express from a visual basic 6.0 project. I'm having trouble with my connection string.
I'm able to connect with my connection string to sql express:
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider= SQLOLEDB; Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=30"
and the get user instance name:
'Get the user instance name
strSQL = "SELECT owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name From sys.dm_os_child_instances"
but don't know how to query the instance name. Currently, I am returning the user instance name in a function. My questions are:
1. Is there any parameter for the user instance name in the connection string?
2. To attach and detach, what providers are available?
3. Using the Provider=SQLNCLI, is the AttachDBFileName parameter optional if I supply the database?
4. What is best recommended practice for querying a user instance from application code in vb6?
5. Are there any articles that specifically describe how to query a user instance if the dbfilename path is dynamic?
Sorry if my questions are not clear. I'm new to microsoft programming (coming from Lotus/Domino)
Thanks for any help you can give me.
