Why Do I Need To Reference The Server Name Now But Not In MSDE 2000?
Nov 6, 2006
With SQL 2000 and MSDE 2000, I only had to put a "." for the server name in a connection string. Now with SQL Express 2005 I have to acually reference the server instance name ".SQLEXPRESS".
Why is this?
Also, when running the command line tools for running scripts, I have to include the parameter "-S MACHINESQLEXPRESS" in the command line where as before I never used the -S parameter at all.
Anyone know why? I am curious because it is going to cause an impact on our upgrades for the client.
My only answer to these questions is that there is no SQL Agent running anymore.
I've just joined this community and already feel alot better in doing so!!
My question is aimed at SQL Server 2000. Part ofmy job role has swicthed to SQL Developer to Database Administrator. To learn SQL Server 2000 (latest version available to me) I wanted to find out about courses (based in London, UK) which help teach along the lines of the following topics:
Fundamental concepts SQL Server installation and upgrade Database management Backup and recovery Alerts and jobs Security Replication Monitoring SQL Server Converting and migrating data
This is what I understand to be prior importance for the role.
My main question to you guys: Can anyone recommend a reference book which is a good desktop companion which covers all of these topics to detailed depth??
I'm running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003 Server. I'm aware some books may be old, but the later they are the better?
I've studied SQL at uni, covering RDMS, OLAP, Data manipulation, Data Definition. But now its to be applied to SQL SERVER 2000
Am very new to MS SQL adminstration Can anybody help me out how to work on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A just for the practice.
The activity which am going to workout on MSDE is below.
How to install SQL(on XP) How the layout will be(like if i insall MSDE what are all Application will be and how they depends on each other) How to create/delete tables if so, how can we do it either by GUI or CUI
There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
Will any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
I am creating an install program and I'm wondering if there is a difference between SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000? Do they have different entries in the Registry?
From the documentation that I've read it seems as if they are one and the same.
However, if someone knows how to differentiate between them in the Registry it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I'm trying to insert the Url for the image control in the Report designer. As per your article there should be an option (radio button) in Image Wizard to use set the URL for the reports. But i do not get that option at all. All i get is these options a) - Embedded b) - Project c) - Database I do not get a URL option. My problem is that i have a URL path to the images that are stored on a Web Server. I would like to this path to be the source of the Image control. I can't make it work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, GJ
I am about to setup an application server. This app will generate reports and instead of just having a HTML page up, I am considering running dotnetnuke type portal to offer the userbase a better interface for the reports, info, announcement, etc.
Server isn't too bad (2x1.7Ghz Xeon I think, 2GIG RAM) type of setup (may be little more or less). App doesn't require as much resources, but we are planning for the future )
While I have some resource to play with, I also need to make sure I don't load much that may impact the application performance. In my experience, SQL Server 2000 will take a lot of resources even when not used as much. So I am considering MSDE.
I am curious however, WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SQL 2000 Server Vs MSDE 2000 ?
Beside no Client tool and mostly command line specific command, what else there to convince that I should go for server vs desktop engine?
Now our company has Enterprise license for SQL, so I am not worried about the cost (well a little maybe), but mostly wondering about performance.
If you think of any reason why I go to SQL Server 2000 over MSDE, please let me. Otherwise, I think MSDE in this case is the appropriate RDBMS to go for.
Hi all,I just got SQL Server 2000, but I already have MSDE installed. Is there anyreason I would want to keep MSDE around on my computer if I install SQLServer 2000? I use MS Visual Studio 2002 on Windows XP SP2, in case itmakes any difference. I intend to deinstall MSDE before installing SQLServer 2000, but I get the impression from a few posts that some people haveboth installed and I'm not sure why that would be done. What functionalityis in MSDE that is not in SQL Server 2000?Thanks for answering.--Diana
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
I have MSDE installed on a production machine together with a bunch of ASP.NET applications. I was asked to replace MSDE with SQL Server 2000 and move every application from MSDE to SQL Server 2000 with minimum downtime.
Did any of you go through a similar process?
What is the best way of doing this conversion?
How to move the backups from MSDE to SQL Server?
Is it possible to have MSDE and SQL Server 2000 coexists for a time while moving stuff around and redirecting every connection?
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I am developing an web-database application using ASP.net,c# and MSDE. and after the completion of the project i want to deploy the database over the server whichs got sql server professional edition. Are there any changes to be made while deploying it over the server and also will the connection string for MSDE and SQL client the same ? Please do clear me the confusions i have got .. thanks inadvance
Hi, I am a VB programmer and we have a VB application that uses Access as its db (~500MB mdb file) using DAO. We want to upgrade to MSDE/Sql Server because we have clients that will use around 5 connections to the db and others with no more then 20 users. I was asked to build a simple test program in Vb under MSDE that will enable us to test few clients working simultaneously (I have few days for that). There is so much material on MSDE and we just ordered an MSDE Developer guide book from the Amazon that will arrive in a few days. The amount of material is confusing like hell and I didn't work with ADO before, I don't even know if to work with Access 2000 or with a different db, can you advice ? Do you know of a good sample that show a beginner like me how to access MSDE from VB using ADO? If you do please please advice it will ease the pressure and the days are numbered. Thanks a lot.
I developed an app which stored data in SQL 2005, and encrypted some data using EncryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData ), DecryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData).
One of the implementations of this will have to store the data in SQL 2000, which doesn't support this functionality. Is there a simple data encryption functionality somewhere that I can implement within a stored proc so I can have my app be independent of the back-end data base server?, i.e. so I can have two different stored procedures depending on the back end db, and not to have the front end handle the encryption?
I have an application that is already installed on a Win2k3 Server using SQL Express 2005. I have another application that wants to use MSDE 2000 (already tried using SQL Express 2005, but it won't install). My question is, can both of these be installed on the same server and running at the same time without any problems? Thanks!
I have just started to create a new web project using the new VS 2005, but just discovered that my ISP has not yet converted to SQL Server 2005 and uses 2000 MSDE.
My first question is, assuming I don't use any new SQL Server 2005 features will there be any problems in using SQL 2000? Can I create/ reports and use the reporting services, or will I have to make 2 versions of my application?
2nd question is: I have to use their database name and userid. To me, this means changing every form that connects to SQL Server from my local information. Is there a way to make this dynamic so that I can change the DB name, userid, pw, etc. without creating 2 or more versions of this Web application?
Hello everyone,i want to know abt the "Difference between MSDE and SQL Server 2000". For example the features they support, capacity and requirements etc...
Can someone advise me if this is basically SQL server 2000 and will work effectively to simulate sql server on a stand alone development machine ? Is this what its meant for?
I have been using MSDE and I recently got Microsoft SQL ServerTM 2000 Developer Edition as part of my MAPS pack. Can and should I replace MSDE with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition on my development pc? Thanks in advance for any advice on pros and cons or known issues?
Hello gurus:Hopefully someone can shed some light on some questions I have. I amtasked to build an application that will schedule and track tasks. Ifirmly believe in not reinventing the wheel however also feel thatcustomizing is certainly not out of the question.I am looking to build something in ASP (or .NET) that can allow anindividual to work "disconnected" from the network while stillaccessing a database (MSDE?) that will sync with SQL 2000 oncere-connected. I have built multiple db apps that are strictly webbased and consider myself somewhat knowledgeable (read.. dangereous)SQL/ASP dude. I understand that for a stand-alone client app I mayhave to use .NET and load the framewsork on the client in order to runthe dynamic pages for database updates. Here are my questions:1) Is there a way for SQL server to "replicate" its tables into aschema/data recognized by MSDE (i.e. generate the "mother ship" tablesand schema first, then use SQL Server to automatically create (export)the client MSDE tables)2) are there tools to manage MSDE so one can see what the heck is inthere? I understand Enterprise manager will not work in this regard.3) Are there any resources (documents, tutorials etc..) for datareplication (i.e. dbsync from MSDE up to MSSQL and vice-versa)4) Am I wasting my time doing this from scratch because there isalready something out there that does all this that is moderatelypriced and customizable?Thanks for your attention and consideration.Eric B
I recently upgraded my MSDE server to SQL Server 2000 database. After the upgrade, I see, every minute,in the logfile that the database is starting whilst in Enterprise manager the database is up and running. I would be grateful if you could bail me out of this anomaly.
I need to move the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) database and all jobs to the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. - May I detach and attach the DB in my case? - Where is the procedure to move the jobs from MSDE to SQL Server 2005?
Can anybody help? I have a Windows XP and 2003 server; we have installed SQL 2005 Express on it but have an application that installs MSDE 2000 to connect to an application. After the MSDE 2000 is installed we can no longer see the instance across the network. If we uninstall the SQL 2005 express version we can see the Instance in MSDE 2000. Is there any compatibility issue with install MSDE 2000 after SQL 2005 has been installed. Many Thanks in advance David
hi - I am developing locally using .Net 2.0/Access but just recently started trying out SQL Server Express. I have deployed my application to a host who provides 2.0 but as would be expected only MSDE/SQL server 2000. Now if I'd switch completely to SSE, would my SQL queries (which are pretty simple) work on MSDE or SQL server 2000? The only thing I see as more sophisticated sql queries would be the built-in 2.0 Roles/Membership functions... Do you think they would run smoothly on MSDE/SQL 2000?Finally... since the database is already done locally, is there any way (a stored procedure for example) to copy it's scheme if I'd create a new DB on my host's SQL server?
We have 3 MSDE databases (3 seperate servers) which we need to make into one Sql 2000 server (new server). How is this done? Can't find anything clear about this.
Hello guys! I have to develop a new web based project. It's a web portal for events. At the moment it's runnung on an Access database. The new version should be running on a SQL server - the desicion is: MSDE 2000 or SQL Server 2005 Express (Beta). What do you recommend? The webpages are developed under .NET 1.1.
It's arriving from ebuyer tomorrow for 32 quid. I already have aninstance of MSDE running on the laptop and ideally i would like SQLserver to be installed and use the current instance and not installany other additional services. [hope i got my terminology correcthere.] Basically all i would like is to use the Enterprise Managerwith my existing MSDE database. I was wondering if there is anything ishould be doing before I install. Should i shut down the service orleave it running for instance.Thanks for any tips,AndyB
Hi, I'm wondering if I can use SQL 2005 Reporting Services with SQL Server 2000, SQL Express or MSDE, or I need to install SQL Server 2005 in order to use Reporting Services 2005? Thank you in advance.
