We are currently migrating our sequel 6.5 databases to sequel 2005
We have a handful of vb6 apps that connect to the current 6.5 database.
Can anyone recommend the "best practice" for connecting vb6 apps to sequel 2005 databases ?
Thanks in advance.
I'm planning an SQL 2005 deployment and would like to know if an SQL server should be kept as dedicated as possible. Should apps that access SQL be kept on other servers? What are the do's and don't's along these lines? The plan here is to install everything that accesses SQL on the same server with the database, but this seems like a bad move to me. Am I right?
Thanks!

I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to install SQL 2005 developers edition on my local PC and I get the following error during the System Configuration Check:
- Performance Monitor Counter Requirement (Error)
Messages
Performance Monitor Counter Requirement
The System Configuration Check for Performance Monitor counter registry value has failed. For details, see How to: Increment the Counter Registry Key for Setup in SQL Server 2005, in the readme file or in SQL Server Books Online.
I looked it up in MSDN and i'm having problems resolving the problem.
How to: Increment the Counter Registry Key for Setup in SQL Server 2005 says I should match the values of "Last Help" and "Last Counter" from these two nodes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib 09]
However, my Perflib 09 is empty. And i've tried adding values to it but the problem presists.
Here are the values i have in my Perflib node:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib]
"Base Index"=dword:00000737

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
I have a Windows 2003 Server running IIS 6.0 and SQL Server 2005. I have just (Today) deployed the first ASP.NET application (developed in Visual Studio 2003 and, as such, dependent on .NET Framework 1.1) on this server and am getting HTTP Error 403 (You are not authorized to view this page). This ASP.NET application runs fine on another server that is configured with the OS=Windows Server 2003, IIS=6.0 but without SQL Server 2005 and without the .NET Framework version 2.0. I found in the IIS Application configuration (on the troublesome site) that my app (in the Default Web Site folder) was pointing to the version 2.0 aspnet_isapi.dll. All efforts to use aspnet_regiis to "re-align" my app with version 1.1 have been fruitless to eliminate the HTTP Error 403. I granted the NETWORK SERVICE account privledges to the wwwroot folder. At this point, I don't know if I have a Framework error or a privileges problem.
Please help.
Thanks,
Rob
i'm building apps using sql server express and I want to deploy to servers that have the 2.0 .net framework but have sql server 2000 database.
Can this be done, and if so, how?
Observing God€™s Holy Spirit, I see God saying that The Lord Jesus influences every natural occurrence of kindness, righteousness, and judgment (Jeremiah 9:23-24). I believe God, so I thank The Lord Jesus for your grace in these matters.
In VS 2005, using the ReportViewer control on a form in a Windows app, I've created an Object Data Source for the report by following the walkthrough in the documentation, it works.

ok so i have set up SQL server 2005 on a Windows server 2003 machine. I am trying to connect to it via ODBC and/or Visual Studio 2005 on a computer running off the same switch. I have set SQL server to accept remote connections and named pipes as well as had the port unblocked. when i try and connect to it via Vista ODBC wizard or visual studio wizard it says that the server is not there or access is denied.
The server is set up for SQL authentication and i am 100% pos that the username/password i am using is correct. i am at a total loss as to what to do to get my vista machine to talk to that SQL server.
I have SQL Server 2000 with databases on the NetApps filer CIFS share.For example, the datafiles are located at \network shareserversharemicrosoftsqlservermssqldata...Whenever there is a filer failover, some of the databases go in suspectmode. Is there a setting on SQL Server like a time out setting from thenet apps that can be modified so that the databases will wait for awhile before going into the suspect mode?Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

We are using VB.NET 2005 (Winform) and the backend SQL Server Express 2005. We would like to connect the Express (.mdf) database from Remote Machine. What type of connection string we have to use?
We tried the following ConnectionString but we got the error:

Also suggest what are all the prerequisites to run sql server express 2005 database in client machine.
We did installed the following tools in client machine:
1. .NET framework 2.0
2. sqlncli.msi (SQL Server Native Client Setup)
Please provide us the solution for this.

Writing to tables created by regular users on MSSQL2005
I have users creating tables through an application, I gave them ddl_admin, datareader, datawriter. They can create tables but cannot insert/update data (to their own tables), I cannot insert data either using Access or any other application to those tables created by them (under dbo schema) Is there something I am missing with permissions? Thank you very much
A few years ago I wrote an active-X server to maintain a singleconnection to a file .mdb from multiple apps on same PC because I washaving to many database curptions.Should I use the same Active-X server for the same in a MS SQL ServerDSN connection or is it ok to have multiple apps from the same pc usingthe DSN?

Hi...I just installed Sequel Server Express v5 and have a database and tables created. Now trying to create a DSN to connect to the database for my mail server. The mail server and sequel server reside on the same system (windows 2003 server).
I'm choosing a system dsn and have tried local with named pipes, the sequel server name with named pipes and the sequel server name using TCP/IP to connect - they all fail. Not sure what else to do...
Any help appreciated. THANKS!
New to MSSQL
Management is getting frustrated with the increase in number of NT servers for MSSQL and Vendor packages. Currently we purchase a box for each app. We would like to go to one or two MSSQL servers running multiple application database's (based on size etc) . How are you handling this? Do you do this for test only or both test and production? Any gotcha's. Any help will be appreciated.

Is there any way to connect to Hosting SQL Server using VS 2005.
I have only VS 2005 on my computer and Dont have SQL Server.
I have a SQL Server credentials on the Hosting server but the problem is the hosting website control panel didnt provide any enterprise manager to work on the database.
Thanks in advance.
Hoi,
Can someone help me? I have made a website with a database. Local on my pc all work fine. but now i need to set it op on my webhost.
all pages with no database access work but the ones with database controls i get :
Server Error in '/' Application.
Login failed for user 'username'..
I got from my webhost:

I installed the SQL Server 2005 Trial and am now having trouble connecting. When I bring up the ASP.NET Configuration tool and Go to "Provider configuration" "Select a single provider for all site management data" AspNetSqlProvider Test I get the following message.
"Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider. "
I have already run the aspnet_regsql command-line utility.
Can anybody give me some information on how to set this up.
I am currently working with the club web site starter kit.
I have a VB.Net Winform application installed at a client’s site using .net 1.0 and sql server 2000. I am in the process of upgrading to them to sql server 2005. The installation of sql server 2005 is on a different machine then the 2000 version. I have installed SQL Server 2005, SP2 and converted the database from SQL Sever 2000. Everything is good at this point. I can even establish a connection through a user’s login.
The Problem is when I try to connect from a client machine using my .net 1.0 application. The client test machine that I am using is a Windows NT Server which may have something to do with the problem. Any way I am getting the following error message.
SSL Security error
From other topics I have read I believe this is something to do with a certificate. The application only needs to connect from within the local network. I have tried connecting using the ODBC Data Sources tool from the client machine I get the following error.
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.81.9001
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SSL Security error
TESTS FAILED!
Should I be using the TCP/IP?
Do I need to install anything on the client machines?
Do I need to open ports on the firewall?
Is there anything else that I am overlooking?
Thanks,
David
Hi guys,
I am new to sql server 2005 and I am having some problems connecting to it. Hope you guys can help!
I have install the sql server management studio express. At the login page, there is one field which is Server name. However, in my studio express that field is empty. I believe that field should have my server name on it but it is empty. Due to the empty field in the server name, I am not able to connect to the server. Did I set up my server wrongly that explains why the server name field is empty???
Thanks

Hi
We are planning to move over to SQL Server 2005 in near future.
At the moment Website is on a seperate server then the Database.
OS for both the server is Window 2003 and currently our data is on SQL
Server 2000(on which everything works fine).
Part of the testing process we tried to connect our website on SQL 2005
and it does not work at all.
I get this
----------------------------------------------------------------
ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
When i use following connection string
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=127.0.0.1;Database=dbName;UID=UserName;PWD=UserPassword;"
(Above string has fixed problem for few people- googled it, but not for
me.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the message i get for all the following connectiong string

VB.Net 2003 and it works fine and here is the Connection String :

Then i downloaded SQL Native Client and installed on the web server.
I looked in SAC Tool and "Local and Remote Connection" and "Using Both
TCP/IP and Named Pipes" options are selected. I have checked SQL
Browser service is running.
Now when i use this string
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=127.0.0.1;Database=DBName;UID=UserName;PWD=UserPassword;"
i get
Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80040e4d'
Login failed for user 'UserName'.
I have created this user and this user has proper permission to access
the database i need.
I would really appreciate any help as this is driving me crazy.

Hello Everyone,
I have searched the web and this forum relentlessly for past 2 days but I haven't been able to solve the problem.
Here is the description
I work for company X and log on to my computer with my credentials Xme. Now I have the ability to log in into my customers environment using VPN. I can do this by logging in into the customer network by another set of credentials Yme2. (where Y is customers domain and me2 is the id given to me by the customer)
Post this, I am able to ping the customers server.
Now when I use SSMS to connect to sql server, I get the error message"Login failed for user Xme"
Why doesn't SSMS ask me whether I want to use Xme or Yme2 credentials? why doesn't SSMS try with Yme2 credentials? Why does SSMS only use Xme credentials?
I also tried to run SSMS as Yme2 but that also didn't work.
It will be kind if you could let me know how can I specify what credentials should SSMS use.
regards,
Abhishek.

I have a relativley unique setup
where all the sql servers have been consolidated
so multiple applications are connected to their respective databases on the same SQL server

The ?
can tempdb be split or multiple tempdb's be created
My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website.
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.
According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
The data resides in app_data.
In my webconfig file I have this.
<add name="vau" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|vau.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I understand that there are several different ways to connect and manage information to the database. I think I want to use the behind the codes (.aspx.vb) and on the top of the page I have this. Imports System.Data.
That is where I am stuck. Can you push me in the direction by either explaing to me or post a link that has more information about this.
Thanks.
I have not been able to find any substantive documentation on connecting a DataSource to the database via the IP address of the SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good reference on the topic?

I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including:
1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005
2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication
3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB
4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent
5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site
6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still
When I test my connection through Enterprise Library it shows test successful!

Hi - I have Web Developer, SQL Express 2005 running locally on my pc, and on my remote server.
Everything is fine locally, but when I copy my files over to my server (have setup a virtual dir, and ensured it is running .net2) I get the following message when trying to connect:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:websitessicknessApp_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I have tried attaching and detaching the database from within SSME on the server - my connection string is:
<connectionStrings> <add name="SicknessConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>
I've tried it with and without the User Instance = True set
Has anyone got an actual fix for this?
Thanks, Mark
I had been using Excel to connect to SQL server. This worked merrily for about 6 months then I had reason to reinstall Visual Studio.
Now I've reinstalled that, my connection between Excel ans SQL Server won't work. I thought the ADO code I had put in my VBA macro would be sufficient to connect, but obviously I need to do something else, but what? Please help!
Do I need to create an ODBC connection in Control Panel? Or something else?
The code is unchanged from before and the VBA project does reference the ADO object Library.
