Where Is My Databases In The MS SQL Express Management Tool?
Mar 24, 2008
Where is my databases? I have 2 different DotNetNuke installations on this machine running very well but in the db management tool I cannot find my databases ... I am positive that they are there somewhere collection/holding data but why doesn't they appear in the SQL Express management tool?
My connection string is the classic:
which says there should be at least one databse --> Database.mdf
Doesn't this .mdf file appear in the SQL Express management tool ? Se picture of my control view

I have just downloaded VB Express, that comes with SQL Express
In order to manage and use SQL databases it seems I have to use SQL
Studio Mgt Tool. But, where is it? I can only see Configuration Tools,
but not any Mgt tool or DB Engine......
Maybe my installation is incomplete?
thanks

I have created a new database using Visual Web Developer and wanted to manage it using either the SQL Server Management Tool or MS Access via ODBC.
Niether of these tools will connect to the database.
The database file , called srx.mdf, the connection string is
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:InetpubwwwrootSRExchangeApp_Datasrx.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I can however connect successfully to the master file, the conenction string for this is
Data Source=.sqlexpress;Integrated Security=True
Any help appreciated.

Hi guys, I've tried to back a database from a server on the net ie: discountasp.net by using Microsoft SQL 2005 Express management tool.
After all the set up:
(1) the part "Destination", in the "Disk" radio button was cheked, the path for the backup file shows like: D:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmyDatabase.back; As I understand D: is the CD drive(?), so I put a CDisc in the drive, and kept going with the process. The Process went very well and inform that the Database has been fully backed up. But I never have found the "saved" or "backed up" that I backed up. Can anyone show me where this backup Database in that D: drive, and where is that D: drive anyway?
(2) In that "destination" part, if I clicked "add", and then typed in the path address part like: C:....mybackupDatabase.bak for example, the the tool gave me the error: ... not set to an instance ...; I counldn't even select the Browse to browse to the directory that I wanted to back up the Database.
Please help me for this.
Regards.

Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and Management Studio Express, while logged on as an Administrator of my XP Pro machine. When I switch to my limited user account, Management Studio Express seems not to be aware that SQL Server is even running on the machine (although Configuration Manager can see it and reports that it is running). I'm sure I've missed something simple, but I can't find the answer anywhere... how can I get access to my local SQL Server from my limited user account?

I have a windows 2003 server which has SQL 2005 Express with advanced services installed on it. Then a few weeks back the company purchased SQL server Standard Edition which comes with SQL Server Management Studio (which has more features than SQL Server Management Studio Express currently installed on the server where sql express is running)I have been trying to schedule a maintanance plan on the SQLExpress Instance database from the SQL Server Management Studio that came with the standard version of sql but i have not been able to have all SQL Server Management Studio functionality available when connected to the SQLExpress instance. So is there a way i can connect to the Express Instance from management studio(that comes with the standard edition of sql) and have all its functions available when working with a SQL express database. Or i must upgrade the express database?

Morning,
I installed the managerment stuid on my machine and now none of my database connections seem to work any more. I keep getting the attached error. Before I installed the studio the system worked fine, I could connect to the database and everything was fine. Does the studio change any permission stuff? I cannot seem to get it to work again at all now, I added in aspnet as a login inside the studio and it still won't let me connect to the database. I cannot find *any* logs anywhere that might be helpful in what it is doing or see any way to debug the connection to find out what the problem is. When I look at the permissions inside of the studio it shows me that the connections should all be fine.
I checked and remote and local connections are setup, although it is only doing local connections anyway since this is a asp.net web server page.
Any idea what the problem is here? This is very frustrating and annoying :( Since I didn't change anything and now nothing I will do gets it to work. I even tried to uninstall the management tool and it still doesn't work.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

Hi all
Which tool can I use for structure editing of SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases? I'm installed SQL Server Compact 3.5. I have SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed with SQL Server 2005 Express. Unfortunately this SSMS can create and open only 3.1 databases.

Hi all,
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)?
Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I need some guidance! We are running SQL Server 2000. We have 4 or 5 databases with the same schema, and I need to make sure that their structures all stay synched. We will have more soon. I also need certain tables to have the same data across all the databases.
I need a way to manage changes on the multiple databases! Right now I generate a script in Enterprise Manager, then run it in Query Analyzer on each database, manually. There's too much room for error here.
Any suggestions are appreciated! I am currently evaluating Embarcadero's products, but they are complicated and confusing - I'm not sure yet which of their tools is meant for this purpose.
Thanks,
Avi

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Hi all,
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Regards,
Shuja.

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<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)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.
Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?
Please help a newbie
Thanks

Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be?

I was under the impression that Management Studio wouldn't list any databases that a user doesn't have access to. But if I create a new user and give them db_owner permissions to just one database, if they log into Management Studio, they are able to see all databases listed. They don't have access to do anything further, but they can still see the list which I thought was handled better in 2005.

However, the hyperlinks are less than helpful. I also get problems doing various maintance work from MS. I don't think its a database engine problem 'cause I can do all the work via TSQL DDL but the interface is so much easier to use (or should be). BTW it's running on XP Pro (firewall problem?).
