What Other Associated Tools SQL Server 2005 Intergration Services Can Work With?
Sep 8, 2006Hi, all,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am having a question which is: What other associated tools/environment SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) can work with? (like we know SSIS can work with other components of SQL Server 2005, Excel,XML files etc.), so what other tools it can work with?
Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance and advices for that.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Dec 6, 2006Hello all,
This is my first time posting, so be gentle as I'm not exactly sure what the protocol here is regarding posting errors.
I'm encountering an issue with an installation of SQL 2005 Express (SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE) on a Windows 2000 Professional SP4 machine (Intel P4 1.8 Ghz). The following error is what I receive:

SQL Express Minimum Requirements Warning On Windows 2000 Professional???
Apr 1, 2006The computers here at work run Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4. Everything checks out with the minimum requirements at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/sqlreadme/#_3462_setup_issues_238p
However, one of the "Reports" from the installation says the machine does not meet the minimum requirements, but provides no details. It installs and I have Admin rights on this machine, but I can't even connect to the Northwind database that I downloaded.
Is this due to our logging process where the "system" is actually in another country? (ie, "CITYNAME/Username"
Any help is appreciated!

Cannot Open / Create SQL Express Databases (.mdf Files) In Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
Sep 7, 2007Hi, I am trying to open or create a sqlexpress database within Visual Studio 2005 Professional in the App_Data folder. If I attempt either method, I get the following dialog box:Required Components MissingConnections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=49251 The link above just takes you to the download page for Sql Server Express 2005. I have both SQL Server 2005 Developer and SQL Server 2005 Expression instances running. The existing database will work properly in my web application, however I cannot access it through Visual Studio.As background, I did have a problem connecting to the database via the web application, receiving a "Failed to generate a User Instance of SQL Server" error. But I was able to fix that by renaming my SQLEXPRESS folder in C:Documents and SettingsuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server Data. When the web page ran, it created another SQLEXPRESS folder.However, I cannot figure out why I am having the other issue.Thanks in advancePatrick

Sep 30, 2015In the registry in Windows 10, I looked inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server. Is LoginMode still in some subfolder of that, or has it been moved to another place? Perhaps a differently named key is now used.

Bought And Installed VS2005 Professional - There Is No Management Studio Got Installed In The SQL Express.!
Jan 26, 2006Hi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
Please advise. Thanks -L
Getting A SQL Express Database To Work On A SQL Server
Aug 10, 2006Hi,
I'm getting ready to deploy an ASP.NET application to a server that does not support SQL Express, but does support MS Access and SQL Server. Is there any easy way to convert my SQL Express code to either Access or regular SQL Server code, without having to change very much code in my application. I really like the integration that SQL Express has with Visual Web Developer, and would like to be able to keep that sort of integration if at all possible.
Thanks,Drew

Confused As To Which SQL Server Version The Express Languages Work With
Apr 6, 2006I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed on my PC. I also have the Express Editions of VB and C# installed. Is there any purpose served in my installing SQL Express, also?
I've read comments that the Express languages can only connect to SQL Express databases and not SQL Server 2005 databases; however, I'm not sure how that is enforced. The 'connect to database' wizard does seem to be different in the Express IDE than it is in Visual Studio.
I've read other Express language references that say that they can only connect to SQL Server databases via something called User Instances; however, it's not clear to me if that infers that only SQL Express supports User Instances.
Regarding User Instances, it's not clear to me whether this technology is for single-user (i.e., exclusive) access or not. What scenarios are User Instances good for?
Migrated From SQL 2k5 Express To SQL Server - Profile Doesn't Work
Aug 22, 2006I recently created an application that stores 3 variables in the web.config in the "Profile"configuration:
<profile>
<properties>
<add name="Department" defaultValue="" />
<add name="UserName" defaultValue="Anonymous" allowAnonymous="true"/>
<add name="AL" defaultValue="" />
</properties>
</profile>
By doing this my web.config automatically configured itself to create a database in my app_data folder and also filled in all the table rows as necessary. Then I moved the code to my sql server running SQL Server 2005 Standard and found out that it won't generate that database in either the app_data folder or the SQL Server Data directory. I've gotten so desperate to get this database created that I've (temporarily) given "Everyone" full permissions to both directories. I then double checked that my named pipes to that server were enabled, and then also tried moving my database from my working sql express app from a different computer to the server. I still cannot get it to work.
If I have no database in the folders that worked on sql express i get this error:
"SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express ..."
If I have a database in the folder it says it can't communicate with it or can't find it.
My web.config shows:
<add name="LocalServer" connectionString="server=SERVERNAMEWest;database=ASPNETDB.MDF;uid=UserName;pwd=Password;" PoviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Is there a way to successfully generate this database with sql server? Please Help!!!

Design Tools / Sql Server Mgt Tools Cause Login Fail
Sep 20, 2007Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)
Mar 3, 2006We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000.
In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)?
Hope to get feedback soon.

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore && Database Locations Fault
May 7, 2008Hello there,
I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.
Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.
And there are more problems see here:
Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"
But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.
Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????
Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press
Attach Databases -> Add
The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???
What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

Uninstalling Sql 2k5 Express Tools?
Oct 23, 2007Hi,
While building a vista 64 Ultimate machine recently, I temporarily installed the express edition toolkit with visual studio 2005.
I have since uninstalled sql, and reinstalled the 64-bit developer edition. However it appears the toolkit did not uninstall completely - now when I try to install workstation components, bol, etc. It says that the upgrade is blocked.
Hard as it is to believe that an express install can block a developer edition install, it does.
I've tried reinstalling the ee toolkit, as any client/management tools are better than none - but this fails, saying that the components are already on the machine!! sheesh!
It doesn't give an option to uninstall.
Has anyone got any ideas. I've uninstalled *everything* sql related, reinstalled with sp2 twice. I can see and create databases using visual studios server explorer, but this does not give any management options. Does anyone know how I can remove whatever registry entries are fouling up this installation?
Thanks,
