Connecting To SQL Server Express Via ASP (classic)
Aug 31, 2007
Hi All,
I'm having trouble getting at SQL Server 2005 Express via ASP code.
I'm using the following connection string in my ASP code:
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn = "Provider = SQLNCLI;" & _
"Data Source = .SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Initial Catalog = myDB;" & _
"User ID = DB_reader;" & _
"Password = a#koddkobn5;"
I keep getting the error:
Microsoft SQL Native Client (0x80004005)
Login failed for user 'DB_reader'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
I have made sure that the user exists in SQLEXPRESS and that server Security is set to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode.
Can anyone think of anything I'm missing or that I should try?
We've lost our SQL Server admin and I'm trying to develop locally using Express while we hunt for a new admin.
Thanks so much for any assistance you have time to offer.
Very best,
Thom Cox

I am trying to return multiple recordsets to a classic ASP web page from SQL Server 2005 and then use GetRows() in ASP to fill 2 arrays with the data. I'm using a command object to run a stored procedure which performs 2 simple selects in SQL Server. The stored procedure works fine in SQL Server Management Studio so I'm guessing it's an ADO issue.
The ASP code looks like this: strConnect = "DRIVER={SQL Native Client};SERVER=MyServer.IsAtMyIsp.com;DATABASE=MyDb;UID=Me;PWD=MyPwd; MARS Connection=True;"
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionString = strConnect
conn.Open
Set objCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set objRecordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set objRs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
With objCommand
.ActiveConnection = conn
.CommandText = "sp_GetShowList"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
If Len(strBeginDate) And IsDate(strBeginDate) Then
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@i_DateStart",adDate,adParamInput,,strBeginDate)
If Len(strEndDate) And IsDate(strEndDate) Then
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@i_DateEnd",adDate,adParamInput,,strEndDate)
End If
End If
End With
Set objRs = objCommand.Execute
arrEvents = objRs.GetRows()
objRs.NextRecordset
arrSched = objRs.GetRows()
The error message below occurs at the 2nd GetRows() command. Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

hi,i'm using classic asp to try and connect to a sqlexpress database on a development server. i get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
/dbtest.asp, line 8
I'm using the following script which runs fine against a regular SQL server (version 8) on the network.
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%>
<%
var strCon, conn, sql;
strCon = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=rapidHB;User Id=rapid;Password=xxx";
conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
conn.Open(strCon);
sql = "SELECT product_code FROM products WHERE product_type = 1";
var results= conn.Execute(sql).GetString();
Response.write(unescape(results));
%>
I have tried changing Data Source to servernameSQLEXPRESS, changing initial catalog to master, using a user name defined on the database and changing the provider to SQLNCLI but nothing has worked.
Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? Using ASP.Net is not an option.
Rgds,

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

I have a small networked application, using sql server 2005 express. I am using datalinks and I have configured the TCP/IP to 'Enabled' on the server and I have configured the firewall. I have one computer connecting to the database through sql authentication (using a specific name and password). However I have another machine, using the same configurations, but it has a AMD 64 processor. I get the "Sql Server does not exist or access denied" message.
I would greatly appreciate assistance.

I'm considering shifting my database server to 64-bit MS SQL Server 2005 for improved scalability and performance. I'm concerned, however, that my classic ASP website (which sits on a separate server) may have problems communicating via ADO/OLEDB because of communication problems between 32-bit IIS on the web server and 64-bit MS SQL Server on the database server.
My current set up (which works fine) is:
Web Server: Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, SP1 - running IIS with a set of ASP websites
Database Server: Windows 2000 SP4, running MS SQL Server 2000
Connection String:
MyConnection="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;SERVER=192.168.0.1;INITIAL CATALOG=MyDatabase;UID=MyUserID;PWD=MyPassword"
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open MyConnection
My core question is:
If I change my database server to new machine with 64-bit Windows Server 2003 running 64-bit MS SQL Server 2005, will my (32-bit) web server be able to connect from ASP as it does now?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
I'm a newbie who is trying to create a connection to the server in my website application and I keep getting the following 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). I enabled TCP/IP and Pipe in the configuration and restarted the engine and server but I still get this error and it's stressing me out. Below is the code for the app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm new to MSSQL. At my work place, I'm using MSSQL and using SQL Query Analyzer to run queries and view all my database tables and structures.
Now, I can work remotely at home for the time being. So, how do I get SQL Query Analyzer and be able to connect remotely to my database at work?
I've downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and it comes with SQL Server Management Studio, which looks similar to SQL Query Analyzer. The problem is though, how would I remotely connect to my database server at work? Is it possible to do this using SQL Server 2005 express?
One thing I was advised to do was configure the TCP/IP Port number from 1433 to 1435. However, I do not see an option to configure that nor do not know how to connect remotely (I do have the IP, User, and Pass).

I am having major issues connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express from Visual Basic 2005 Express, which I have tried on multiple PCs but to no avail. Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
1) I install SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Basic 2005 Express (With .NET framework and SQL native client of course)
2) I open SQL Server using Management Studio and going in with windows authentication. It automatically sets the log on name to computernameSQLEXPRESS.
3) I create a new database called Test and add one table to it
4) I go into Visual Basic 2005 and create a new project.
5) I go to the projects application settings (Properties - Settings).
6) I set up a new connection string, choosing SQL server as the conection type and then on the Connection Properties window it asks me to select the mdf file for the database. I choose the file Test.mdf from the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
7) I click on Test Connection.
When I do this on two out of the three home PCs I get the error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf".Operating system error 32: "32 (error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
The third PC gives me a different error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DAVEDavid'.
I get the same errors when I try to use a connection string inside the code directly. Does anyone have a clue as to why these errors are occuring? Do I need to set up security or something else on the database first, or is there another reason? If anyone can please help me get to the bottom of this or provide a web address where I can get the answer (step by step instructions on how to connect) then I would be most grateful.

Hello,
I can connect to amachine using SQL server 2000 using IIS 6.0. However, I am having trouble connecting to my server that has SQL server express using IIS 6.0. I'm using similar setting for both servers. Is there something else i have to do for SQL server express?
I'm not sure why this is the case. Any information that could help resolve this failed connection would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have an ASP application which is currently using a SQL 2000 Database, attaching via SQLOLEDB. I am getting ready to migrate my ASP application to .NET using SQL Server 2005 Express. The only problem, is that I am unable to connect successfully from my ASP applcation to my DB under SQL Express.
I have taken all of the steps that I have read, including the blog by Ming Lu. I still cannot be through.
I have included both the messages that are thrown and comments about the drivers and connection strings.
I have enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes for SQL 2005 EE. I have also included the executable, port 1433, port 135, etc. in the firewall exceptions.
I have defined the DB in ODBC using both the Native Sql driver and the SQL Driver. Connection authentication is via SQL Server Authentication.
If anyone has any input, I would be grateful.
Error Messages:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. - using SQLNCLI - SQL Native Driver

Hello, We are re-writing our site in asp.net using sql server. Most of the site uses asp classic and it was to an access database. During the conversion we have everything working correct to SQL Server except for the asp.net connection string. There is an important part of the application using asp.net which works fine with our connection string to the access database. To recap our problem is the connection string from asp.net to sql server. This code works fine for the asp.net to access in the web.cnfg file </microsoft.web> <connectionStrings> <add name="SalesConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/> <add name="ODBCSalesConnectionString" connectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb"/> <add name="RawConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|inventoryStatus.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <system.web> The code in the global.asa which works fine for classic asp to sql server also works fine and is as follows '--Project Data Connection Application("sales_ConnectionString") = "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=DMSERVER01;Database=SQLsalesMain;UID=nTrack;PWD=nTrack2k3" Application("sales_ConnectionTimeout") = 15 Application("sales_CommandTimeout") = 30 Application("sales_CursorLocation") = 3 Application("sales_RuntimeUserName") = "" Application("sales_RuntimePassword") = "" Our programmer who set this up is out for a couple of weeks and I would appreciate any help in the correct connection string from asp.net to the sql server database in the web.cnfg file Thanks

Hello,
I have a project (using classic ASP & SQL Server) which adds one execute sql statement at a time to a temporary array, and then I join that array with a chr(30) (record separator), to a string variable called strSQL. I then run the following line of code:
conn.execute(strSQL)
I was wondering if there was any limitation to how large the strSQL variable can be? Reason I ask is because thru log writes I can see all of my sql execute lines exist in the variable strSQL prior to running the "conn.execute(strSQL)" command; however, not all of the lines run at the time of execution. Remember, this bug only is occuring whenever I have say over 600 sql lines to execute.
My understanding is that there was no limitation on the size of the string strSQL; however, in the interest of getting the bug fixed quick enough, I decided to just run a loop for each sql statment and run "conn.execute(strSQL)" every 50 times. This, in turn, has solved the problem and I do save all of my data; however, my original bug still exists.
Does anyone know why I have to split the sql commands and execute.com every 50 times instead of just being able to do it once ?
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Alright I glanced over the forums to see if there was an answer for this and I didn't see one. I saw a few similar issues however nothing that fixes my issue. Here is my problem.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express on my Vista partition along with Visual C# Express. For some reason I cannot get the SQL Server 2005 Express to function correctly. Back when installed this on XP it worked flawlessly, and I don't even recall doing anything special...I installed it and it worked. I do know that you have to manually add the user account to the admin list for the SQL server on Vista, and I did that. I chose the option to have it do it during installation as well as through the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration just to be sure.
I am just trying to get the basics of it working right, and that is connecting to the server using C# and filling a dataset...it shouldn't be this hard. This morning when I started with this I could connect and fill my DataSet programmatically however it wouldn't pass the test through the Data Source Configuration Wizard. When I did it manually, as I said it worked and filled the DataSet with the info I asked for below in the code sample. After getting annoyed by it not working through the wizard I decided that maybe I had my permissions wrong and I may have messed up when installing it. So I uninstalled everything to do with SQL Server 2005 and reinstalled it fresh.
This time when I installed it I made sure to set it up to use Windows Authentication. Now it will pass the Test in the Data Source Configuration Wizard and everything is working by doing it that way. However now it doesn't work when I do it manually with the code below(same code as before when it worked...lol). When I use the code below it crashes with 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)". When I go through it with the debugger it throws that error at the call dataAdapter.Fill(...). The code is the following:
Code Snippet
string connStr = "server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=northwind";
string commandStr = "Select CompanyName, ContactName from Customers";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(commandStr, connStr);
DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet, "Customers");
DataTable dataTable = dataSet.Tables[0];
foreach(DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows)
lbCustomers.Items.Add(dataRow["CompanyName"]+
" ("+dataRow["ContactName"]+")");
Why doesn't that work yet I can basically ask for the same information and it will work if I do it through the wizard? If it works 1 way I wouldn't think there could be any issues with the server being accessed remotely, right?
Thanks

I've been trying to configure remote connections to my sql server express to no avail.
First here are some constants to clear some things up:
- OS: Windows XP Pro
- SQL Express version: April CTP release
- Windows Firewall: disabled (to avoid any problems there)
- Network type: two computers connected a router.
- Router firewall: Enabled (I may be wrong but the router firewall only blocks external traffic, so I left it on.)
First, I configured my SQL server to allow remote connections in the SQL Surface Area Configuration. (Set it to both TCP/IP and named pipes)
Second, I enabled and configured sql server browser.
Third, I enabled TCP/IP and named pipes in the 'Protocols for SQL Express' option of the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
I have done everything I need to (including edit the registry to enable the SQL Server Browser service) and the error I continue to get is:
"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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)"
So I tinkered and had no success in messing with anything that would fix it. Although, ***when I browsed for network servers on different machine, the server instance DID show up in the list***. So I find it odd that it can find the instance when browsing, but fails to 'find' it when making a connection.
So I didn't stop there, I decided to try the non-sql server browser method of remotely connecting: specifying the IP.
I went back to the blog of instructions referenced above and re-did the steps, this time specifying a TCP Port for the server instance and then after specifying the port on the remote computer connection string, and attempting to connect, I get 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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)"
I've done all I know how, read all the possible blogs I can, and nothing's come up. If anyone can shed some light on me, I'd pay you 1 billion pretend dollars. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have been trying literally for months to get SQL Server 2005 Express to work on my Dell Dimension WinXPPro machine. I have installed and reinstalled both the server and the 'Management System'. I have shut down and restarted all of the related Local Component Services on my machine (with the exception of the SQL Server Active Directory Helper which will not start ??).
I have reviewed much of what is in this Forum related to SQL Server 2005 Express and I find that many have had similar problems. When a connection is attempted, the following message or some minor variation appears:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
In desparation, and at the suggestion of one of this forum's moderators, I went to try to download the SQL Server 2005 Express, Service Pack 2. I threaded my way through what I felt was an unecessarily complex set of links and finally reached a download site - but it was unclear whether or not the service pack was for SQL Server 2005 or the Express version. Giving up in dispair, it turn to you (once again BTW, I received no real help with this same question about a month ago).
Even though I seriously doubt if anyone will help me, I am willing to give it another try - mainly because I am home sick with the flu and having nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 sp1
When I created a linked Server to the DB2 on iseries ( V4R5) , the SELECT statement fetches me only the first record and the following message appears.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST" returned message "[IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32-bit)]Driver not capable.".
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST".
I am using 'MSDASQL' which refers to the DSN setup on my machine using the ODBC "Client Access Driver 32-bit"
Strangely when I used the same DSN in SQL 2000 within the DTS package, I was able to connect and import data and worked like a charm.
Can anyone advice me were I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am having problems with connecting to a SQL Express server running on server 2003. I can connect with the program concerned from a windows xp client without problems. I cannot however connect from a vista machine using the software. In the logs i see the client trying to logon, wich fails with Login failed for user: 'user'. [client: clientIP] severity 14 state 8. On the vista client i have tried everything from disabling the firewall, windows defender, running the app as admin etc. I can connect using sqlcmd or the management tools with the username the app is using. This is a SQL user, we are not using windows users to connect to the DB.I also ran a app like ethereal to see what is happening packet wise, i see the login failed packet on a windows client, from a XP client everything seems fine and it starts using RPC.
Any help appreciated,
FVader

I migrated my SQL Server 7 database to the new SQL Server 2005 that I installed on my PC. I have classic ASP programs on my PC that used to access the SQL Server 7 database. However, global.asa and these ASP programs can no longer connect to the new SS 2005 database.

Dear All,
I am trying to connect to a remote sql server 2005. So I have install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I try to connect I get the error below.
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: 53). Can some one please help. I have even port no 1533 on my pc. Thanks.
