There are a few questions I have on the parameters you can use in a connection string. I didn't see a post with these already, and I think they may be helpful for those just starting to figure out how things work. I couldn't seem to find these defined in the msdn anywhere. What exactly do the following do:
"server=.\sqlexpress;" or "data source=.\sqlexpress;" - Is there a difference in using these, or are they completely interchangeable without any side effects? So far it seems I have been able to swap them for each other without anything happening however there may be something I don't see happening behind the scenes!
"Trusted_Connection=yes;" - Is this a workaround for getting SQL Server to work on vista's UAC or something? If not what does it do?
"Integrated Security=true;" - I know this has to be used with User Instance=true, but is there anywhere that says what it's actual function is?
"database=myDB;" - If I use this in a string it causes my program to crash. It also has a side effect of making me have to stop all sqlservr.exe processes and restart the service before my program will run again without it included in the string. Not sure why this is the case, however here is the string I try to use:
Now with using that string, the point of having both the "AttachDbFilename="c:\sfsf\sads\myDB.mdf";" and the "database=myDB;" options is that I read if you use those together it causes the SQL Server to first check and see if the database is already attached. If it is then it doesn't reattach the database, and just uses the current attached database. While this makes sense it doesn't seem to work for me since as I stated above anytime I use the database option it crashes the app. Any ideas? If that isn't how it is used what is the "database=" option for?
There may be more options I don't know about yet, but those are the ones I am not clear on. Hopefully one of you more experienced folks and shed some light on them!
Can anyone point me to a comprehensive list of the options available in connection strings? I know that a lot of the options are able to be set elsewhere, but I'd like to have a complete listing for interests sake.
when I open a connection to SQL Server 2005 (c#, VB.NET 2005, SQL Native Client) these setting are set (can see it in Profiler):
-- network protocol: TCP/IP set quoted_identifier on set arithabort off set numeric_roundabort off set ansi_warnings on set ansi_padding on set ansi_nulls on set concat_null_yields_null on set cursor_close_on_commit off set implicit_transactions off set language us_english set dateformat mdy set datefirst 7 set transaction isolation level read committed
I would like ARITHABORT to be ON. Have tryied to set it as a defaul in my database, but still the connection has OFF at this setting.
How can I force my C# code to set this option to ON during connection opening?
I need to set multiple values for some SQL statements, for exampleSET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFFGOSETANSI_PADDING,ANSI_WARNINGS,CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ,ARITHABORT,QUOTED_IDENTIFIER,ANSI_NULLS ONGOin a .sql file, but would like to reset them to their previous settingsagain for other SQL statements. I didn't find anything in books online. Ithought just calling "set" was enough, but apparently not ....Thanks.
I have added several SqlDataSource controls to my C# project, but when I try to configure them, there seems to be a lot of greyed out buttons. Either the WHERE, ORDER BY, and ADVANCED buttons are greyed out, or when they are active, the ADVANCED button always displays the advabced options which are always greyed out. I doesn't make any sense to me. Please explain (in baby language please)
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Here i am going to ask some questions in SSIS pls clarify my doubts...
1. Can i include a package with in another package? like If i have 20 packages..i need to run all packages at a time ..for this can i create a package and can i place all those packages in to a single package?
2. If i have 700 packages then how to run those packages all at a time?
3.Can i develop a Workflow or package in SSIS with out using Data Flow Tasks? Like with the help of only control Flow Tasks can i create a package or workflow?
Hi, I'm having a BIG problem, this is my 3rd day looking for answer !I'm trying to create a custom membership provider with MS SQL database 2005 but not the default ASPNETDB. I've changed the web.config to be as following:<connectionStrings><add name="sqlConn" connectionString="Data Source=.;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings> <system.web><trace enabled="true" /><roleManager enabled="true" /><authentication mode="Forms" /> <membership defaultProvider="MySqlProvider"><providers><remove name="AspNetSqlProvider"/><add name="MySqlProvider" connectionStringName="SqlConn" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" applicationName="/" /></providers></membership> But when I try to login to the site using the login control the following error occurs: Server Error in '/etest' Application.

I am using sqljdbc41.jar to connect with MSSQL database, it is working fine on my local machine.Where as on the remote server, same class giving me error
Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' My connection string is URL...
I am using sqljdbc41.jar and on 64 bit processor , I am using following command which included path for sqljdbc_auth.dll java -Djava.library.path= C: sqljdbc_4.1enuauthx64 TestDao and error is Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' why it is not picking up username passed in connection string. I have 2 machines, one is local and other is remote. on both machine I login using my domain, it is working absolutely fine on local then why the error is coming on remote machine.Both the machines are identical.
I have been trying to host my website on Go Daddy for about 3 weeks and I have cleared several problems but this one remains. I can get into the ASPNETDB database for doing logins , etc but I cant access my database called "PINEmgt". To try to understand where the problem is located,I built a very simple application without login controls and put on it one Detailform accessing a single line table "Signin". I continually get the error message I got with my real app :"The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. " There is only one connection string in my app -'PINEMgtConnectionString2'. When I run the app locally on my machine it works. After I move everything to Go Daddy, I get the error message and the following dump"
Line 24: </Fields> Line 25: </aspetailsView> Line 26: <aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsINEMgtConnectionString2 %>" Line 27: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Signup(first_name, last_name, email, customer_id) VALUES (,,,)" Line 28: SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Signup]"></aspqlDataSource>
This is indeed the code from my single page app.
The dump is:
[InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.] System.Web.Compilation.ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder.GetConnectionString(String connectionStringName) +3039085 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlSqlDataSource1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:26 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlform1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:10 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlTree(default_aspx __ctrl) in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:1 ASP.default_aspx.FrameworkInitialize() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx.vb:912306 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +40 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +86 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestWithNoAssert(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +49 ASP.default_aspx.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +29 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +303 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64
After Googleing, asking Go Daddy for info (which they dont give) , etc for three weeks, I need serious mental help in the form of a solution of this problem. Your help with the problem or the name of a good mental health professional in eastern N.C. (maybe both) would be appreciated.
I have seen another thread with this same problem, but the problem seemed to be a typo. I am getting an error when I try to access the web site ..

I'm evaluating SQL 2005 Everywhere Edition for use by our desktop application. I'm a traditional SQL Server developer and I rely heavily on stored-procedures to encapsulate basic data manipulations across multiple tables and inside multi-statement transactions.
I was excited to see an in-process version of SQL released and my thought was "this is great... now I can ditch the tediousness of individual OLEDB/.NET commands, and write batches of T-SQL and just focus on the data manipulations". But, alas, it seems I cannot. Why is SQL Everywhere Edition limited to executing a single SQL statement at a time?
For example, my application would like to update mutlipe rows in one table, delete multiple rows from another, and insert multiple rows into a third. I can do that with 3 T-SQL statements in a single small batch in a very readable way with full blown SQL Server. (and I can put that batch in a stored procedure and re-use it efficiently later.) If I contemplate how to do that with OLEDB and the single statement limitation of SQL Everywhere, it's a lot more code and a lot less appealing/maintainable. I want as much of my app to be using declarative code and as little as possible tied up in tedious OLEDB calls. Is this not possible with SQL Everywhere Edition?
I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
Please add some more substantial needed info in ALL the web pages of "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition RC1, Release Candidate 1", like at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920700
for: 1) Clarifying the confusing name changes of the Mobile Edition to Everywhere Edition then to CE, 2) Giving installion instructions of the RC1 for mobile devices
I hope that I am just missing a step in the process somewhere. I have established a string variable called DatabaseServer and another called DatabaseName. In the OLE DB connectionstring expression I have the following:
My understanding is that changing the variable from SERVERA to SERVERB should repoint the connection. (Test to pre-production to production in my current promotion environment.) This should also take effect in any dataflow task using the database connection above right? When I try to repoint the server variable (and only the server variable) I am either a.)throwing errors saying the original connection cannot be found in the data flow task, or b.)the job appears to be processing fine, but the repoint did not take place and data is still flowing to the original server.
Can anyone offer suggestions as to what I am missing?
The properties values in the DB connection:
ConnectionManagerType is OLEDB
DataSourceID is blank
DelayValidation is False (Setting to true changes nothing in my test)
Expression for ConnectionString is (see above)
RetainSameConnection is False
SupportsDTCTTransactions is True (and appears to be unchangeable.)
Hi, I need your help!!!!!!!!!! Ii'm running the application using the sql SDK version , i'm having trouble openning the connection. my connection string is: strConnect="data source=DEFAULT_WINXP\VSDOTNET;initial catalog=try1;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=True;workstation id=DEFAULT_WINXP;packet size=4096"; and i get an exception: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'DEFAULT_WINXPASPNET'. this is my code:

I'm new to VS 2005 I'm using the following code for connection <add key="dsnstring" value="persist Security info=False; User ID=; password=;Initial Catalog=TransMate1; Data Source=Localhost trusted_connection=yes" /> it is giving the error as 'Cann't do the connection since user id cann't be null It is not exact words of the error message. following code is working fine with the SQL Server 2003 but not with SQL Server 2005. <add key="dsnstring" value="persist Security info=False; User ID=sa; password=dreams;Initial Catalog=TransMate; Data Source=Localhost" />
I have made an app (the first one) and im trying to find the right connection string to the database. Im using sqlexpress on my local computer, and my host uses MSSQL, can anyone tell me what the connection string could
I want's to use following connection string "dsn=MyDsn;uid=MyUser;pwd=MyPassword" Can some how I use it with sqlconnection I want's to get rid of odbconnection e.t.c What will be the connection string for sql provider for above dsn information. If anybody can explain the please help me ?
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) ive got this error and i think its about connection string, help please, can somebody show me how to fix this, obviously im a newbie and this my first time to use .net. thanks!
hi, i was just wondering what's wrong with my code. i have class library to handle all the classes of my asp.net project. when im compiling a class, i am getting an error "Error 1 The name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the current context " . i have this code for that error message: string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString; im not sure about this because im new in asp.net. am i missing a reference here?if yes, what namespace should i include? by the way, i tested this directly in my asp.net age and it is working fine. when i use visual c#.net, that's where the error prompts me, and i cant build that class library.
hi, ok im not sure if this is in the right forum, so sorry if its not. basicly, before i optained a licence for SQL Server 2005 Dev i was using SQL Server 2005 Express. now in IIS iv found the following entery in Connect Strings data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true basicly, what i want to know is do i need this entery, and if so, do i need to edit it? thanks
I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP. I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2005. My connection string isn't right. I ran the OBDC test and it works so I know its the connection string. My webpages give me the error that the server does not exist or access denied. When I use anything else like SQLNCLI.1 for the provider it gives me the error that the provider is not found. What should the connection string consist of and what should I use for Provider? MYCONN_Conn ="Provider= SQLOLEDB;Data Source=sql2005.loc.mss.edu;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=OPENAssessment;" Thanks in advance.
