Lets say I use the 'enabling roles' for my ASP 2.0 site. This creates a ASPNETDB.DBF SQL Express file.
Later I go to post this to a real web server - which runs the 'full' MS SQL2005 server. What happens to the ASPNETDB.MDF file (or for that matter, any other MDF file I create with SQL Express) when it leaves the Express world and enters the Real world.
Hi,
I started applying "SQL server Express with advanced tools SP2" and had to stop on following items which I'm not too sure about what I must understand from step "Existing components". Those three items listed were:
- "SQL Server DataBase Services 9.1.2047.00"
=> which I can check
- "Reporting Services 9.1.2047.00"
=> which I can check
- Workstation components and development tools 9.1.2047.00
=> which is simply disabled???
If I then look at the details of that last item, I can see the following warning:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Edition check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules. For more information about edition upgrades, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Now, following the suggestion of one person answering previous thread,
"If you're not sure if you have tools from another edition, you can check by going to Add/Remove Program, selecting the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 entry and clicking Change..."
I followed suggestion and got following result:
DEVELOPPEMENT
The following components are installed on this server
SQLEXPRESS
Database Engine
[Version: 9.1.2047.00 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.1.2047 Language: Anglais (États-Unis)]
Reporting Services

Common components
Workstation Components
[Version: 9.1.2047.00 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.1.2047 Language: Anglais (États-Unis)]
Looking at the results, everything seems to be normal. Only Express Edition, all same level which should be SP1. What step should I take to be able to upgrade to SP2 properly?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, I can login to it just fine using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I ran the aspnet_regsql and it created the aspnetdb database. But when I try to test the AspNetMembershipProvider or go to the Security tab in the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool it does not work. I have tried messing with the connectionString of the LocalSqlServer in the machine.config, but to no avail. My SQL Server is installed on the Default Instance. Can someone help me get ASP.NET Web Site Administrator to work with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?

I am writing Stock inventory and POS application.
POS will be used at multiple branches to collect sales, whereby Stock Inventory will be used in HQ for product info maintenance, stock in and etc.
I need to send all of the branch sales records back to HQ and send updated product info such as cost to branches everyday (could be multiple times per day).
I am thinking to use SQL Server Express 2005 at branches and SQL Server 2005 standard at HQ.
Do you think it is workable? What is the mechanism I can use to "transfer" these data?
Please advice.

I installed SQL Server 2005 express with advanced services which is supposed to include full-text search capability but I can't get it to work. When I try to create a full-text catalog it gives me an error because it does not think the full-text service is installed or loaded. I can't seem to find a reference to the full-text search feature to enable or install it. any ideas?

1. Can SQL Server 20005 Express do full text searches?
2. If not, is there a way to use SQL Server 20005 Express to search a database column containing text data type?
Using Visual Basic 2005 Express, I would like to do a simple search with a search textbox and button that will return the entire contents of a field of database text when one or more words in the search text box are in the field of text in the database.
I have been playing in Visual Basic 2005 Express and using SQL queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) to output to DataGridView controls by using ID columns as filters in the query, etc. This I can do. But I have not been able to use a word or phrase in the search textbox as a filtered query to output the entire database field of text which contains the search word or phrase in the search textbox.
Thanks for any help in getting me started with this.
Are there any way I can make changes to my database without stopping the web site? I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express for my web shop. And each time I have to add or change a table or Stored Procedure I have to stop the site. What I do is to stop the web site (in IIS), restart the IIS and then open the database in the SQL Server 2005 Express Management tool. If I don't "release" the file first I get an error when I try to open the database file in the Management tool.But there must be a better way to do things? I also would like to take bacup of the database without stopping the site, but how? There must be others that have had the same problems? Regards, Sigurd

I want to implement site search in my application, I got the solution of searching the static content, but most of the pages in my application is content based(content is coming from database at runtime), so those content I am not able to search from database.
While searching about the same, I got information about Full Text search (FT) in SQL Server 2005, but whether it will work in SQL Server 2005 Express or not?
I didnt get exact steps to implement FT on my database so far....

Hi all,
I am trying to write a web page connected to an sql database of my MP3 files. I have a dropdown list box that populates with the artist, this hopefully being used to filter results into a datagrid. However, i am having a problem with the ddlb box repopulating on post back, i trawled the news groups and coded the population of the ddlb within an "if not page.postback" statement but to no avail. If i connect the ddlb to another sql database i have, the page reloads with the selctedvalue retained. So the theory is now that it is the SQL database, (is this a limitation of SQL express?) and i am having troubleshooting this. Here is the SQL of the databse:
USE [mp3]GO/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Table_1] Script Date: 04/21/2008 20:40:21 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1]([Title] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,[Artist] [nvarchar](50) NULL,[Album] [nvarchar](50) NULL,[Year] [nvarchar](25) NULL,[Comment] [nvarchar](500) NULL,[TrackNumber] [nvarchar](10) NULL,[path] [nvarchar](300) NOT NULL,[genre] [nvarchar](25) NULL,[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_Table_1_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([id] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
Any help much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
Can someone help me out in providing guidelines towards how to do full text indexing using sql server 2005 express edition?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Dave
We provide hardware and network support to a medical practice with 5 surgeons and 10 admin staff.
They are implementing a new medical practice software package which will hold all their business critical data including financials, patients, medical records etc. This runs on either SQL 2005 express or full SQL server.
The software vendor is proposing using SQL express only as the database will be << 4Gb
We are not application or database skilled and have concerns that the medical practice may not be getting the best advise from the software vendor.
Is SQL express just as robust and safe for critical data as the full SQL server database ? Technical €œgut feel€? is that it can€™t be or MS would not sell many licenses.
Comments would be appreciated. It is hard for us to suggest using a full SQL database unless there is a substantiated reason.
SQL Server 2005 full version is installed on a server computer. I installed MS VS 2005 Express edition on the server. As VS 2005 Express edition can only access to SQL Server 2005 Express edition, so a SQL Server 2005 Express edition has to be installed on the server. I wonder if both SQL Server 2005 full version and Express edition can be installed in the same computer.
Thanks,

I have a basic question to ask:
I have two server both showing SQL server 2005 installed. One of them is a licensed SQL server 2005 and the other is a express edition.
I am trying to find out which one in is express and which is the full licensed version.
I checked at the control pane and they both show up as SQL server 2005. The directory structure at Program Files looks the same.
Please help me.

I have upgraded a SBS 2003 MSDE database (instance MSSQL$SHAREPOINT) to SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced Edition. This worked without a problem even when I enabled all the options for the upgrade including Full-text search.
I now want to have Full-text search on this instance of SQL 2005 with database name of STS_EVEREST_1.
I first tried to use the T-SQL command of "CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG BBVisionCatalog AS DEFAULT;"
I now know that the original database was created under SQL 2000 and therefore I needed to use SQL 2000 commands. So I used the following script:
USE STS_EVEREST_1
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'BBVisionCatalog', 'create';
It produced the following ERROR messages:
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 46
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
I checked to see if the Microsoft Search Service was running. It was running.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.

I have installed sql server express 2005 and also visual studio express developer when i run the personal web site sample I get the folowing error
Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
How do I correct this please does any one know ?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?
Hi there
We've just starting rolling out SQL Server 2005 SP2 (9.0.3042) on 1 single server and some clusters.
Generally we are never implemented post fix etc etc just service pack. I can see more post fixes comes out. For the single box, what is the best practise to apply this upgrade? Apply this fix and hoping no issue :) I guess testing it's the best but if you get the so many hot fixes thay means have to test one by one?
How do you for the cluster? Once you update one node, does it actually update the second node as well?
Waiting for the feedback.
Thanks

Hi Everybody,
Since SQL 2005 express doesn't support full text search... is there any third party that provides FTS for the express version?
Thank YOU
I have conflicting info about whether SQL 2005 Express contains full-text search and catalogueing functionality. I have read several places online where it is stated that "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" contains full-text search, but that seems to conflict with the info presented here:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
...for clarification, see my screenshot:
http://www.builderdash.com/SQL2005.png
What's the real deal, and why the conficting info?
hi,
im pretty new to sql server
I created a database with full text enabled, I created the indexes and queried the db in managment studio express and everything worked great.
when i try the same thing from within vc# it tells me that i have to enable fulltext indexing and create an index before i can use CONTAINS
what do i need to do to make my already fully functional fulltext indexes work from within vc# express 2005
thanks
I'm using the Full text functionality of SQL 2005 Express Advanced and it works well.
However, the first time a query is run it take 20 seconds or so to actually return the search results. Thereafter, the search results are almost immediate.
That would be fine, except that if no further search is performed for approx 15 minutes or so, then we are back to the first scenario where it takes 20 seconds to return the results.
I assume this means that the full text catalog is not being held in cache at the server? Is there anyway to force it to do this?
My first thoughts were that Full Text within 2005 was an excellent tool, but if the first search always takes a long time then I will have to re-think as I can be sure that customers will get extremely annoyed at the response.
Do you know if there is any way around this or if there are any fixes imminent for this problem.....indeed, is it a problem or am I missing a fundamental setup issue?
What would be the implications if I created a small console application to perform a full text search once every minute at the server to keep the index cached?
many thanks
im having an issue with sql server 2005 express on a test box. in recent testing, ive encountered errors with the database that i havent encountered before. im trying to use an app to add records to some tables in a database, 1 record at a time. but in doing so i get this
"The transaction log for database 'ScanOrder2' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
with every insert of a record.
this process was working fine 2 days ago and i cant find anything
thats been changed.
- i deleted the database and tried restoring it from a backup that is
known to work, but still has the issue
- the recovery model is set to simple. every night a batch script is
run to truncate the log file in case there is a transaction that uses
a lot of records
- i can insert and delete records manually with no problems (ie going
in through SSMSE and highlighting a row and deleting it or adding
random data) but i still cant add it through the app
- the log file is set to autogrow unrestricted at 10 megs at a time.
- i even tried setting the log file to 500 megs starting size, and
still couldnt even insert 1 record
- when i check the log_reuse_wait_desc, it says NOTHING, when not
running and while running.
is there any other setting i could be missing that might attribute to
this?
