I have a windows application that connects to a SQLExpress database hosted on a shared server. The client machines will run an interface software and interact with the info within SQL The SQL database isn't huge (50 megs) and all of the info is text. The interface application isn't too complex either, it was designed using VB.net05. I have a few setup questions:
1 - Is it best to use Windows or SQL authentiaction? Currently I am using Windows authentication and I have a user group setup on the DNS that is setup as a user for the SQL database. That has worked so far, but I've only had a few users logged in at one time so far. My plan was to add all DNS accounts that will use the software to the DNS user group, thus giving them access to the SQL database.
2 - I know this gets asked a TON, but I am interested in knowing how many users I should be able to support using the current setup. I have the one user acount setup for the DNS user group. The SQL table is not huge and it is all reading and writing text. The server is running Windows Server 03 and is a couple years old (not sure of exact specs).
Thanks for any help, I am still learning my way around SQL and it's great to have such a vast amount of support for the product.
Happy New Year!

Hi,
Is there any way that an existing database in SQL Express can be converted to a SQL Anywhere ?
regards
Hi,
I have an ASPNETDB.MDF (asp.net membership/profile db) that was generated for SQL Express, it has user information I need to keep.
I have SQLExpress and full SQL Server 2005 running on the server. I want to remove SQL Express from the server.
So can I simply do a backup of the SQL Express membership db and restore it to full SQL and change the connection string in my app or
do i need to run the membership wizard on full sql and then do the backup / restore?
Or is there another way.
Thanks
Hello to everybody,
I had just installed SQLserver Express. I'd like to know if tool to migrate an Access db to SQLexpress exists
Thank you
Some thread searches here say conversion (downgrade) of a SqlExpress database to Sql Server 2000 is trivial. I haven't yet figured out an efficient way of doing so beyond using someone's Database Publishing Wizard utility (http://www.codeplex.com/sqlhost) to create a sql 2000 compatible script, replete with schema *and* data, then running that script against the Sql 2000 database (freshly created without any structure). I've done this successfully with smaller databases, but the larger ones really tax and drain the server resources and scripts have failed with "out of memory" errors. We're putting more memory in the Sql 2000 server, which may avert memory errors, but there's still the issue of server load. Has anybody since come up with or know of a better method that's quicker, more efficent and less drain on the server?
TIA,
Rick
Hi,
1.
Right now in my queries I am using lots of LEFT Joins and INNER JOINs... and I was suggested to look at 'IN'... But with IN I did face some performance issues previously and stopped using it... but I have got new doubts on which query will give me better performance...
A query using LEFTJoin or a query using IN/NOT-IN
2.
This question is about CONVERT...
I have a stored proc which is used for updating a table... and multiple columns [of the same table] and corresponding values are sent to the proc [only a subset of the columns might be sent for updates everytime and the columns to update is not fixed for each run of the SP]...
I have to construct a UPDATE String out of it using string concatenation to finally be able to use "sys.sp_executesql" on that update statement...
This results in me having to use CONVERT() lots of times... and one of the columns among them on which I am doing a CONVERT is of the type XML...
So the question is as follows...
a. Is it preferrable to construct a single UPDATE statement string and execute it using "sys.sp_executesql"
b. Or Is it preferrable to give multiple UPDATE statments... i.e. one update statement for each column [Depending on whether that column has to be updated for that run or not]
i.e. The question essentially is:
Does a single update query constructed using lots of CONVERTS [Basically on INT and XML types]
give more performance over using multiple UPDATE statments on the table
Or is it the other way round..
Thanks,
Pratap.
Can these two exist side by side? I have SQL Server 2005 (possibly installed when I installed Orcas beta 2?). Now I cannot connect to SQLEXPRESS with error Cannot Login to Default DB - error 4064. Please help!!

Good day, my apologies if thes question has been asked before, but I can't find anything with the exact same situation...
Just managed to successfully install SQL Express 2005 (in place of MSDE2000), kept the same database, which upgraded without a problem. I can connect to my local SQL server, but only if I use my full PC name, I get 'SQL server not found out access denied' and 'Specified SQL server not found' whenever I try with . or (local) or localhost.
My main issue is that I have a million and one batch files for all the features I use most to simplify my work, which now will not run as they all specify (local) instead of my PC name. Looking on the MS Support pages, I've tried various different options, none of which seem to make any difference at all.
Here is my current setup:
SQL Express 2005 - version 9.00.2047.00 - (installed with 'Default Instance', not 'Instance: SQLExpress')
Win XP Pro SP3 - version 3264
All of the following are enabled in 'SQL Server Config Manager' - Protocols for MSSQLSERVER:
Shared Memory
Named Pipes
TCP/IP
VIA
I also attempted to install the latest MDAC (version 2.8), and it tells me these components are already part of SP2.
Could anybody tell me if I am missing something, or need to install / update anything further? I am at a dead end with this now.
Thanks in advance,
Andre Greeff
Q1: When I try to move a database (.mdf and .ldf file), developed with SQLEXPRESS on Win/XP to my SBS2003 server running with SQL SERVER 2005, I cannot attach the database on the server. Backup/Restore fails as well.
"Could not find row in in sysindexes for database ID=12...."
Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted (error 602).
I tried to copy an ad hoc db with only one table from the client to the server, same error. Similar procedure withs MSDE and SQL 2000 worked flawlessly. It seems there is something wrong with my SQLEXPRESS setup.
Anybody who can advice?
Q2. on the client with SQL EXPRESS, I switched on in the surface area configuration TCP and pipes; however SQL SERVER Management Studio on the server cannot connect te SQLEXPRESS engine on the client machine. Is this normal?
However from the client, SQL EXPRESS Management Studio can connect to the SQL SERVER 2005 engine.on the server.
Thanks, eric
What happens when you install a SQLEXPRESS instance on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005? Will the SQLEXPRESS still run in the limited mode or will it sense that an full standard version of SQL Server 2005 is already present and just "upgrade" itself?
On the otherhand, how do I "upgade" an existing instance of SQLEXPRESS to a full version of SQL Server 2005 standard edition without uninstalling and installing the standard edition. If I have both the instances then will the SQLEXPRESS be freed from its limits?
Thanks,
Vikram
Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this 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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello There,
I would really appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express for one of my web application. I have a .bak file (backup file) provided by my client which I want to use for testing purpose. Now I just want to know how can I use that backup file without installing SQL SERVER 2005 as one way to do this I know is to restore the database in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Manager but I can't install SQL Server 2005.
To my knowledge, SQL Server Express uses .mdf file for database but what I have is .BAK file..
I would be really glad to see your quick answers.
Thank you for reading this far.
Sincerely,
Zulfiqar

I have a issue need your great help. Would you please help to check it and tell mw how to fix this issue? Thanks.
*****All of softwares are English version****

*****All of softwares are English version****
Issue:
I have a file in the AS400 with Chinese characters and need to dowload to SQL Sever 2005 daily.
In the SQL Server, I created a database and table which collection is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS", and I modified one of field which collection is from "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" to "Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CS_AS" (( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
That mean that field can display the Chinese characters correctly.
In the SSIS,
1.Craeted a OLE DB Source to get the data ( The field name is "CUST_CHINESE_NAME" and the length is 42) from AS400
2.Craete a Data Conversion to convert that field from "String" to "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" (The new field name is "Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
3.Create a Data Conversion 1 to convert that field from "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" to "String[DT_STR]" and code page is change to "950"(The new field name is "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
4. Creatd a OLE DB Destination to get that convert data and input the SQL Server ( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
When I execute that SSIS, I got the error message in the third step.
****************************************************************************************************************************
[Data Conversion 1 [521]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (487) to column "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (544).

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Database that I would like to export to SQL Server Express.
How do I go about this?
I've tried backing it up, creating a new (blank) SQL Server Express Database and trying to restore it, but get the following message:

Restore failed for Server 'PRODSOL-LAPTOP1SQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&LinkId=20476
Neither of the links provide any more information and I'm sure that I'm missing a step out. I've tried scripting the existing database and then running the script against the new database, but I can't get that to work either - these blooming newbies!
Please help!
Thanks very much.

Does anyone know how I can do this?
I have 2 tables in an ODBC datasource (INV HEADER) and (INV DETAILS). The relationship on these 2 tables is (INVNUM).
I want to import these tables into SQL 2005 on a nightly basis by date. The problem is the date field is on the (INV HEADER) table and not the (INV DETAILS) table.
Basically I want to import all the (INV DETAILS) rows that have the same (INVNUM) as the (INVHEADER) but don't know how to do this.
I could use a join on the source tables but how would I direct specific columns to 2 different destinations?
Any help on this would be great and appreciated.
Thanks
I can't start SQLEXPRESS.

Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?

Is there any way to convert an Access or SQL server 2005 database to SQL server 2005 compact edition database??
Thank you very much!!
Our sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?
Hi,
I'm the following encountering WMI error message when invoking SQL2005 setup.
The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine CAPRICORN Error:2147942405 (0x80070005).
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=70342
I'ver found other postings related to WMI errors and tried the WMI fix batch, but to no avail. I noted the error code I have is 2147942405 which is different from other postings. And from examining setup log generated, this seems to be security related, but cannot find much help combing thru msdn/google, etc
Any help is greatly appreciated.
