Currently, we have our SQL database behind our firewall.
Our App is required to log each page hit to a DB table with some additional data that we would not get from the regular IIS logfiles. So every page hit means a trip through the firewall...
Since this type of activity is limited purely to DB inserts, i'm curious what the thoughts are on using a copy of MSDE on the webserver itself to store this data.
What is the lesser of 2 evils
-- Take a trip through the firewall for each page to log the hits in a secure SQL DB
-- Log the Hit in a less secure / limited version of a SQL DB
Currently I am running MSDE on a webserver. The MSDE was installed by a software package for web survey's. I am wondering if SQL express will interfere with this installation? Would I be better to install MySQL instead?
The problem I am trying to solve is simply giving a web developer some database space so that he can connect his web app to store some data. I'm kind of a n00b at this so I thought SQL express would be the best route. If I'm headed in the wrong direction can someone point me the right way?
Hi! Today I decided to finally install MS SQL 2005 Express on my VPS. For a long time I tried to work with MS Access what definitely brings a lot of complications. I already installed SQL05Exp on my local machine and everything works great here. Because I'm quite new to these things I simply installed SQL05Exp on the Server the same way like locally. I just clicked through the installation with the predefined settings and everything installed without troubles. When I uploaded my first Application and tried to run it, I got the following error-message: 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 then read somewhere that I could change the web.config connectionstring to "User Instance=False" what leads to the following: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Inetpubvhostsgsp-peru.comsubdomainsmuestrahttpdocsApp_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. I read a lot of documents about how to install, etc. but it couldn't really use it for me, surely for a lake of basics. When I understand the problem correctly, the user running the app on the server and trying to attach the mdf-database to the sql-server has not the rights to do that. However I don't know what to do against that. What I would really love is a simple solution that allows me to connect to the sql-server from whatever domain on the server, just by copying the mdf. It also would be nice to use some kind of password in the connectionstring to assure that just my apps can connect to my databases. I would be very thankful if someone could give me some good basic explanation what to do and maybe also give me a reference to some nice and understandable informations on this. Best regards, Markus
I have a .Net website being served by my provider from Server A. It stores data in SQL Server B. Two seperate machines.
I have access to server A, but limited access to server B. Is there a script I can put on server A that will backup the database on SQL Server B and save it to a drive on server A (or even better my local drive).
I have just installed my webapplication on my ISP`s webserver with a connection to a SQL Server on the same server. My problem is that my app. cant find the database from the webserver. When I make a connection to the same db from my application running on my machine locally there is no problem. However, when i try to run the application on the webserver I get an error like this: SQL Server not found or access denied. When the remote db connection works from my machine, why doesn`t it work from tha webserver where the db is located. I use the same connection string:
I can't find the answer to the following question.
Why is Visual Studio quicker then the ReportServer.
I've got a report with more then 20 parameters and several are muli-select.
When I'm opening the report in Visual Studio it appears with in one or two seconds whereas I open it on a reportserver it takes 8 to 15 seconds to open or to refresh. After that I can enter the report parameters and then the report is running in approximately the same time.
I know that the refresh is by default, so I can't change that, but the users have problems with wating 15 seconds between entering the parameter values.
The development machine is 2,8 GHz P4, the reportserver is a 4 proc 16 GB databaseserver. The development machine is just being used editing the rdl in Visual Studio.The databases are kept on the database server.The network speed is 100mbps.
Is the only alternative to build my ASPX and reportviewer component inside of that APSX.
We currently have a standard star schema warehouse that contains clickstream data from our web server farm. We use a home grown ETL process that is a combination of java code and shell scripts to process these logs on a daily basis. The clickstream data represents both our dimensional data as well as measurements. We are currently processing 22GB of compressed data daily and are currently on a 50% growth rate year over year.
My question is does anyone have experience/pointers on using SSIS to process a stream of data that contains both the dimensions and fact data? Our current architecture pulls out dimensional attributes, processes them separately, and then substitutes the dimensional keys back into the fact stream. I have to believe there is a more efficient way to do this via SSIS.
Hi, I've installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SQL Server Management Studio Express using Windows Authentification and IIS 5. The problem occurs when I try to access the default address of my local computer to test my installation. I've tried with both http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1. The system requires a password despite I don't use password for my Windows Authentification. Does IIS always demands a password regardless my settings for Windows Authentification or?
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
Im running sql 2005 developer edition on my xp pro workstation. For some reason I can no longer create a database. I get an error such as the following: "CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master' (Microsoft sql server error: 262)"
How can i create a new db to run locally on my pc using sql server. I need also to install a copy of this new db in another pc. Do i need the sql server installed in the other machine also? I am thinking to create an application in vb to play with the db. Every time i start the sql server i see the window telling to connect do database engine, may be i am wrong but with this window i can create just a db in the server? i couldn't create a db locally yet, anyone can help me?
Hello Forum, after installing 2005, if trying to connect to local server it is giving me the following error:

Here is a strange one. Have a sql2k box that I upgraded from 6.5 back. Conversion went fine, everything was ok with the sql install. Created and scheduled maintenance jobs while logged on to the box. A few days after the conversion, Enterprise Manager cannot register the server(error message is 'Data source name not found and connection libraries do not exist'). This inablilty to register the server only occurs when working on the server itself. You can register the server while connecting from another box with EM.
So, do some checking and find that the box itself does not recognize SQLSRV32.dll (etc) as even existing on the box BUT IT DOES EXIST in the normal places, it was a working install just a few days prior. As far as the box is concerned, the network libraries do not exist. Therefore, cannot register the server locally, cannot create a Data Source using the SQLSRV32 driver, cannot start the Sql Server Agent(so no scheduled back ups, etc).
Went so far as to re install the connectivity and client tools, which did not fix the issue.
My client has given me a DB file (.MDF) and I need to open it in order to export it to the remote DB. In Enterprise Manager I go to 'New Database' - create a new DB and click on the 'Data' tab to browse to my clients file. Enterprise Manager recognises the file and everything seems hunky dory. but the resulting DB seems to have no tables. The DB file is 1600K and has some stored procedures but if I try to export the tables there is nothing. His ASP files refer to tables in the SQL as you would expect. Am I missing something? it's the weekend so he is not available and I don't want to look tooo stupid!
Hi,I've used SQL Enterprise Manager to Export my selected db's locally.My main question is how do I move the export to another pc - whichfiles need to be moved, etc?ThanksLouis
I am very confused. I've finally gotten everything to work the way I want on my pc, but when I ftp to the Internet (URL is hosted on GoDaddy), everything goes haywire. I had to create a new database on the host server, and when I use an aspx login, I get the following message:
The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.
I know what the connection string to the database is, but where do I enter that information? I'm obviously new at asp.net and sql, and I need major help.
I am trying to loaclly connect to an sql file, i have installed SQl server management studio express, and have downloaded the file, so that i can access it locally, i have trawled about the whole of this site, but can't seem to find anything that helps. The problem i have is i have a couple of guys telling me that i need to download the backup of teh database, which is in a .BAK format, then rename to .sql, and the open using sql 2005. However when i do this sql 2005 opens, but the a copy of notepad open infront of this, and the .sql file opens up in that. I am a total noob when it come to SQL however, with the help of some online tutorials have managed to teach myself SQL code, and a bit of basic PHP, but nowhere does it go into any great detail about the software surrounding SQl, or accessing the database, all the information i could find is on the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my employers are getting a little bit anxious about all of this now, i know that once these creases are ironed out then i don't have a problem, but getting to the point that i am competent at is the trouble.
Hi i am a total newbe at asp My goal is to be able to make survey on web pages related to my website and store info on my sql server 2005
I want to use my sql server 2005 as a database, and from what i understand so far i will be using visual web developer to prepare the commands on my webpage to get info colected from the survey sheet to the sql server, am i corect?. What i need to know is where can i find the tutorial on what to do first. I would like to install my sql on my computer as a local server first, so what do i have to install in order to do this. From the main menu i see that i can install sql server "services" or sql server "network" or "native client". Wich one do i install first to be local?? Thanks Yves
I need to set up web services locally on my machine.I am working in a team. They gave project that I mapped to my local drive and take the latest version and build the solution. Some of them are configured to use IIS. So before build the solution, in the IIS manager I created the self certificate and added https binding.
I am not sure after that what I have to do? How to test my web services are running locally or not?Do I need to do anything else to set up web services locally?
I have an application that utilizes aspnet for membership. The application utilizes the same database (in SQLServer) for storage of other things. I have a view as follows:
USE [DB_Name] GO /****** Object: View [dbo].[Authorization] Script Date: 06/29/2007 15:27:25 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE VIEW Authorization AS SELECT dbo.Domain.Domain_ID, dbo.Domain.Domain_Name, dbo.Alias.Alias_Name, dbo.Alias.Alias_Authority, dbo.Domain.Domain_ProcessType, dbo.Domain.Domain_Status, dbo.aspnet_Users.UserName AS Owner_Name FROM dbo.Alias INNER JOIN dbo.Domain ON dbo.Alias.Alias_Parent_ID = dbo.Domain.Domain_ID INNER JOIN dbo.aspnet_Users ON dbo.Domain.Domain_Owner_ID = dbo.aspnet_Users.UserId
This works fine locally. However, I am hosting this on GoDaddy and though it allows me to create the table, it seems to have a problem (I'm guessing because it is referencing differing schemas?) and I get an error of: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Authorization'.through the SQLServer Web interface whenever I attempt to view the data from this view. I don't doubt that there is some kind of difference between the manner that SQLServer has set up the schemas and how they are set up on my local version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss of how to get this info and truly want to utilize the view as it would improve performance over a query - at least I believe so. My thinking is that although there may be a performance drop when the item is being added, I gain on the back-end where I really need the performance over utilizing a query.
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 express on my local Windows XP Professional machine. I've searched the the MS fora and Google but all the answers I find relate to trying to connect to a remote DB, not local.
I run the aspnet_regsql.exe program in the interactive wizard mode, and in the Select the Server and Database step when I click on the Database drop-down list an error box pops up:
Connection failed
Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL server.
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Exactly the same error message appears when I:
* Change the 'Server' name from my computer's name to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or SQLEXPRESS. in the aspnet_regsql wizard.
* Stop my firewall (ZoneAlarm, native Windows firewall is disabled, and I switched off my cable modem at the time).
* Use the SQL Server surface area utility to enable remote connections with both named pipes and TCP/IP), and also to enable CLR integration in the Features section.
* Stop the SQL Server service. I did this to see if a different error occurred, but it's as if aspnet_regsql.exe can't even see the SQL Server.
* Have an additional instance of SQL Server running under my own username (see below).
I have an ASP.NET project (created by someone else on another computer) which attempts to open a SQL Server database. It runs fine until the call to System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection::Open() which raises an exception with exactly the same error string as above (including what's in parentheses). The connection string is "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=blah;Integrated Security=SSPI;" where blah is specific to the company I'm doing this for.
I've created a test ASP.NET project to which I added a SQL Database. My only option was to create a .mdf file in the APP_DATA folder. The connection string is "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" and it works fine and displays the data I've put into the database, but in the Task Manager another instance of sqlservr.exe appears (running under my username; the existing sqlservr.exe runs under the NETWORK SERVICE username). Should this happen??
If I stop the SQL Server service (or both of them), an error message in my web browser appears (no exception is raised because there's no code in the project, just a data-bound control). The error is the same as above, except the parenthetical part is "(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)".
Edit: oh yeah, I've also tried to set up an ODBC data source connected to SQL Server throught the Control Panel/Admin, but the ODBC applet can't seem to see SQL Server either. I only get three options for data sources: dBASE files (.dbf), Excel files (.xls), and MS Access Database (.mdb). If I click on 'Add' and select "SQL Server" and go on from there, it comes back and says the server doesn't exist or refuses access. If I stop the service, the ODBC applet says the sql server wasn't found.
My team is using SqlServer 2005 SSIS to develop package for Consolidated Views. This works fine on my machine in Visual Studio when they run it as a script from command prompt from their desktop.

Can someone help us understand the problem? We are new to SSIS. We also want to know exactly what needs to be on the Server that will be running our SSIS ETL programs (that is, what components of SSIS -- SQL Server 2K5 is already loaded).

I have a DTS package that I am calling in my code-behind (vb) of one of my asp.net pages on my intranet. The package takes a FoxPro table that is on our network and inserts it into a SQL Server table in one of our databases. The package gets called and executed properly when I am working on it in development on my local workstation, but when I publish it to our intranet, which is in the same domain and behind the same firewall, the package does not execute. No error shows up on the published page, but also nothing gets executed. Has anyone encountered this? Here is my code, which is pretty straightforward: oPkg = Server.CreateObject("DTS.Package")oPkg.LoadFromSQLServer("[servername]", "sa", "[password]", DTSSQLStgFlag_Default, "", "", "", "Invoice Import")oPkg.Execute() Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I'm just wondering exactly how, as i will need to do it next week (providing I complete the first ASPNET site I've ever developed) and my tech support @my hosting does not seem to be familiar with the process in great detail.
I'm trying to installed SQL 2000 on a NT 4.0 Platform locally. When I followed the wizard and specified the name of the server which is my machine name. I received the following message : "SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Connection open Connect()".
I am trying to do the Chapter 1 project of Getting Started with ADO.net 2.0 Step by Step (microsoft press)...
I enter the data source configuration wizard and select database, and press next.
I then press the new connection button, and the Choose data source screen appears.
In the List are only 2 options:
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft SQL Server Database File.
The option they want me to choose does not appear in the list.
Microsoft SQL Server sqlclient
I tried following the instructions in this thread [http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=85686&siteid=1] where a user had a similar problem, but had no success.
I have reinstalled C#, reinstalled SQL Server Express 2005 with Advanced Tools, but neither helped.
I have a visual basic 2005 application where I am storing some data in a Sequel Server Database. It's my first attempt using SQL Server. It was developed on my machine and the database is on my local hard drive.
It was put onto an industrial PC and shipped last December (the vb app is an HMI).
Our service guy is installing the machine and asked for some changes to the VB screens. I ran my app (on my computer) and it crashed when I selected the screen where I use the db.
So I decided to look at the database using Visual Basic and I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
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)
I then tried to create a new database via Visual Basic and get the same error. My boss has it installed on his machine. Same error there. These are both machines that had no problem back in December!
I also have a industrial PC on my desk to test my app and it STILL WORKS there. That one though is not connected to the internet and hasn't gotten any updates or changes or whatever since I last had it on in December. I don't know if it was a windows update or a network change? But as I said, I'm not connecting remotely - SQL Server and the db are on our local machines.
Interesting enough, if I go to the control panel | Administrative Tools | Services, SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is set to automatic and is NOT started. I attempt to start it and get an error

Windows could not start the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 3417.
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Hi all, I hope this is a simple issue that I'm overlooking something or have contradicting permissions set somewhere. I have a fairly basic site with a subfolder containing an aspx page. The user logs in to gain access to the subfolder. That part works fine.On another page(also within a subfolder in the subfolder), they can post form data to a database (SQL Server 2000) which exists on a different server than my web server. This page opens fine, but when submitting the data (only one value to one field for my testing purposes), it bombs and returns the error "Login failed for user"...In my connection string I've specified the username and password which I assigned to the db in Enterprise Manager (not sa, btw). I've also tried letting IIS control the UID/PW, and even specified no UID/PW in either the connection string or the db. Anonymous access enabled in IIS for this virtual directory also returns the error. (?)I should mention that in Visual Studio, the connection string was automatically set to my local development machine's workstation ID. I removed that and have tried replacing it with the server name, blank, etc.(in notepad) - to no avail. dll's are in their proper places, etc. The only thing not working is the database connection.Using: IIS v6, SQL Server 2000, and Visual Studio.NET 2003 (1.1 framework)Anyway - any suggestions? There are so many places to enable/disable permissions, it's getting confusing. I hope it's something I'm overlooking and not a problem with our SQL installation...Thanks!--Donnie
