Hello friends,
I have got a windows 2003 server with SQL 2005.
I have tried to connect to SQL DB from my local computer suing SQL query analyser.
But I am unable to connect to it.
Can anyone help me in this.
Thanking you in advance.
I am trying to connect to another computer in my local network which has Windows XP installed. It has SQL server 2000. I get an error message 'Time out period elapsed' when i try to connect to SQL server 2000 thru SQL Server Management Studio Express' Please guide.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?
Hello
I got a sql server express that i am trying to connect form win or web forms(2.0) €“ express as well.
My problem:
Can not connect to the server in any way!
Even the designer cont find any sql server on my machine; for example "the data source configuration manager" (gui) in enyn way its can not find the sql server express (2005)
So my question is:
if all what i used is the express version - is it possible to connect and use the sql.s express form the vs. express
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.
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.

Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS

Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
I have read online that so many people are having that problem. so is it the problem of swl server Express edition or do i have to make some setting to connect to the application.
Please please please please someone guide me . I am stuck here in the beginning only. I would really appreciate it.
the code that i wrote is here:----
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
}
}
protected void Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String querry;
SqlDataReader dbread;
try
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Conn1"]);
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();
conn.Open();
querry = " Select password from login where userId='" + TxtUser.Text + "'";
comm.CommandText = querry;
comm.Connection = conn;
dbread = comm.ExecuteReader();
dbread = null;
if (dbread.HasRows)
{
while (dbread.Read())
{
if (dbread["password"].ToString() == Txtpwd.Text)
{
Response.Redirect("home.aspx");
}
}
Response.Write("Your Password Doesn't Match");
}
else
{
Response.Write("Your User Name Is Wrong");
}
conn.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(" This is an Error - " + ex.Message );
Response.End();
}

Hi!
I'm trying to connect a DB in SQL express with a program in VB.NET Express. I'm using the Data Source Configuration Wizzard. When I select the file (.mdf), the following message appears:
Unable to open the physical file "path to my file". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file 'myFile' failed. A database with the same name exists, or secified file cannot be opened, or it is located in UNC share.
I'm using the Windows authentication for this, but if I try with the sa user, I get the following message:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.
Any ideas to solve this?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedCannot someone please help me with following problem. I am trying to create a program to update a sql datbase from.NET 2003. I am doing this by using SQL Server Express 5. The problem is, is that when I run the program and click the button to view the table in SQL Express 5 I keep getting an 'System.NullReferenceException' and the table is not shown. When I look at the debug details it says that 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Am not sure where am goin wrong as the connection is opened to the local server in SQL Express and I have created a connection object and initialised it to the address fo the datatable in SQL.
Please find below the code I am working on which shows the connection string in question and the table being called in button 6 which causes the exception.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks

I have a huge connectivity issue that I can't seem to solve.
We're using SQL Express Edition as a local data store that is participating as a subscriber to SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Perfectly valid and supported.
Now the issue. I have the Express Edition on one machine connected just fine, but the other one absolutely refuses. Here is what I did for the one that connected correctly:
1. Enable remote connections for the Express Edition instance and restart the instance
2. Added the SQL Agent service account on the server to the SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$machine$SQLEXPRESS group on the local machine (yes, I want it to have that level of authority)
3. Connected to the machine with Express Edition to the network via VPN.
4. On the server, opened Management Studio and connected to the Express Edition on the machine to verify connectivity
Everything works.
On the machine that refuses, I've duplicated the steps above and it absolutely refuses to connect. I have verified that remote connections are enabled. I have tried connecting via both name as well as IP, just to rule out DNS resolution - neither works. I don't have any security issues. I can go all the way to mapping the c$ share on the machine with the Express Edition directly from the desktop of the server. I can browse for SQL Servers on the network and the machine shows up in the list, so I know that it is being recognized as having an instance of SQL Server. I can't find a single, solitary reason why it should throw a login failure. The message that I'm getting is as follows:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have notebook, client server application and sql express sp2 on this notebook.
Also, I know domain user login/password,
but I don't know any local user name/password
and I don't know any sql server user name/password.
Domain user is not a local administrator on this notebook.
When notebook connected to the office LAN I am working good with my app-> my sql express as a domain/user.
I'd like to work at home too. I can logon to the system (XP SP2) using domain account when notebook has no network connection. (probably OS caches something)
Is it possible to work with sql express using domain login when no network connection?
PS. old version of this software used MSDE 2000 and it was possible(!).
Thank you.
I have a web app running on a laptop (for demo purposes) with the following connect string:
"datasource=<machine name>SQLExpress;initial catalog=BlueTarp;User ID=sa;Password=xxx"
I can connect to this instance using both oSQL or sqlcmd and can select from the tables within BlueTarp, but my web app won't connect, and I can't figure out why!!
When I installed SQL Express, I used a named instance, called "SQLExpress".
I'm using mixed mode authentication.
One strange thing is that I can connect to either SQLExpress or MSSQLSERVER instances, but they appear to be the same instance -- I can use bluetarp in both.
when I use SQLExpress for instance name in web.config I get "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
when I use MSSQLServer for instance name in web.config I get "Invalid connection"
And in fiddling with the web.config, I somehow did something to get a machine.config error, something like "machine.config couldn't be loaded because of an unloaded appdomain".
It's driving me nuts because I've spent a good 40 hours on this stupid problem, throwing the whole margin down the toilet.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,

Folks,
I have an asp.net web app developed in visual studio 2005. The app works fine with the development server from visual studio and sql express. When I try to test the app under IIS before deploying to my host I get a permission not allowed message.
"[SqlException (0x80131904): User does not have permission to perform this action.]".
How do I give my web app access to my sql server database?
Thanks
Doug
I created test project and want to use SQL 2005 database inside.
1. I created Test database with DEFAULT rights
2. I go into server explorer, press Add Connection. Shows message box for connecting to the server: <PCNAME> using windows authntification.
But NO database allowed to view :(.
Which setting should be set for SQL server database to i could connect and work with it?
Hallo,
i developed a little web-application.
I'm using a SQL 2005 Express edition db but i cannot connect.
i tried the connection strings from connectionstrings.com but unfortunately they dont list connectionstrings for SQL Express 2005.
Thats the one i guess it should work with:
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SQLServerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Lizenzportal;Integrated Security=true
I always receive following error:
No error information available: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21)
Hope you can help me with this issue.
I've installed both SQL Server Express and Visual C++. I'm trying to connect to a SQL database, but keep receiving various errors. This is what I've done so far.
1. Eventually, I used the surface area manager to allow a remote connect.
2. The server and my development environment exist on the same virtual machine, I created with Virtual Pc.
3. I'm running Vista as my operating system.
4. My Data Source wizard looks like this:
Data Source: MS SQL Database File
Database file name: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS.mdf
If I use Windows Authen I get the following error:
Unable to open physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS_log.ldf" Operating System Error 5: (Access is Denied). An attempt to attach to an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS.mdf failed. A database with the same name exist , or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on a UNC share.
If I use SQL Server Authen I get the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.
I'm new to this. I really would like help in knowing what these errors mean and how to get pass them. But this is very, very, very, frustrating. First off, there was no instructions on allowing remote connections. I stumble upon it myself. Giving permission to the file, stumble upon myself. I spent 4 days with a You do not have permission to open file error. Didn't realize I didn't have permission.
I need a step by step on what to do. I can be emailed at gregw.energytaxsolutions@hotmail.com if need be.
If this is in the wrong place, moderator please move to the correct area.
Hi,
I have a problem when i try to connect to a remote database. I have tried with both these connectionstrings:
connstring = @"Data Source=DELLOPTIPLEXSQLEXPRESS;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=False;initial catalog=Test;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False";
and
connstring = @"Data Source=DELLOPTIPLEXSQLEXPRESS;Database=TEST;Trusted_Connection=True";
But when I try to open the database with this connectionstring I get this errormessage:
"Login failed for user 'DELLOPTIPLEXGäst'."
It seems that I cant login to the database or...? I have set up SQL Express to allow remote connections.
Thanks for all help.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and haven't worked with SQL Server for a couple of years. Now it seems I'm getting back into it. I have SQL Express and SQL 2005 installed on an XP sp2 machine with IIS 5.1. I have a C#/ASP.NET web app in Visual Studio 2005 that keeps getting an error on attempting to connect (SqlConnection object). It's a generic error saying a probable cause is SQL Express default setup not allowing remote connections. Remote connections are turned on for both TCP and UDP. I can connect from within a small C# windows application using the same uid and pwd, so I suspect it's something related to IIS talking to SQLExpress. I would appreciate any help on other things to check. I am also fairly new to using IIS in the development environment.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to connect to a sql express on a workgroup PC through sql server 2005 standard edition remotely but i can't.
I have checked and make sure that tcp/ip and other protocals are allowed. There is no firewall on both PCs and the sql browser service is running as well.
Somehow i can connect using the IP address but not the name?
Any idea why?
