Can We Create a SQL Server connection to DB2 using linked servers?If yes, how can we do that.ANd one more thing is that my DB2 is on unix and sqlserver is on windows.
hi how could i create my own server connection in sql 2000.i have a problem because everytime i make a new server registration it always tell that it does not exist and access denied.pls help me.
I have a Microsoft Access application which uses linked SQL Server tables. I would like to create an ODBC DSN which would be available to all users so that I don't have to create a DSN on each machine. Can this be done? The Access application resides on a shared drive (Windows). Thanks for your help.
Hopefully there's an easy answer for this. I'm totally new to SQL server and I'm trying to upsize an Access database. Whether I use the upsizing wizard or try to create a data source through the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I get a connection failed error. It tells me the server does not exist or my login is incorrect. I'm using NT authentication to connect to the server on my local drive. I just installed the whole 2005 express edition and the only thing that came up during the install was that I didn't have IIS installed. I didn't see how that would be relevant, so I went ahead with the install.
Shouldn't this work with the default setup? I've searched around trying different "solutions" although I doubt they were specifically related to this very basic problem. I tried giving my login every right I could find through in the database engine properties in the server management studio, which connects fine itself with just my network login name and no password. What am I missing?

I AM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I have reinstalled both sql server express 2005 and VWD about 5 times with the same problem. please, please, please someone throw me a bone here and help me resolve this problem. When I create a new EMPTY website and I rightclick on my website in the solution explorer and choose add item, I chooe SQL Database, I give it a name 'database.mdf' and click add. I get the following message: you are attempting to add a database to an asp.net application. for a database to be gfenerally consumable in your site, it should be placed inside the 'app_data' folder. would you like to place the database inside the 'app_data' folder? I click YES (I know this message is normal) then I get the following message: Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=49251 I can add anything else but this damn mdf file. thanks for all your help in advance.
I am using SQL Server 7.0..When I go to the Enterprise Manager and try to Create a New database, the Datafile defaults to C:MSSQL7 and the Transaction Log Defaults to C:MSSQL7 folders...
Is there some setting on the Server itself so that the defaults are different..Like D:Data etc....
I know I can type in the correct folder but my main question is that is there some setting in Enterprise Manager or some System Table so that a new database and its Transaction Log is created on a different default drive..
This is the first time I ever touched on SQL database. Is there any tutorial or guide online that I can read on. Because at the moment I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know how to create the tables in SQL server.
Basically I need to transfer data from MS access tables and save them in the SQL server. Say, hourly basis. But I only want the new data at every hour. So how should I go about the procedure?
By the way, is there a limit to the size of the SQL server? or I can have unlimited amount of data?
I have two problems on creating new SQL server database in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express using SQL server 2005 Express.
The 1st problem: (It is resolved)
After installed SQL Server 2005 express and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I tried to create a SQL server database in VWD the following error occurred:
"connection to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL server express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251"
I was stuck with this problem for few days. I did several times of install/reinstall of VWPExpress and SQL server Express, made very sure following proper de-installation sequence as specified in the release readme. But it did not resolve the problem.
Latter I found out that if I login with another Windows XP user account, I don't get the problem.
Changing the security authority of XP file systems and IIS didn't help.
And to prove that I was doing the installation correctly, I tried a new installation of the VWDExpress with SQL server 2005 express in another machine, it worked and I could create new empty SQL database.
After 2 days of frustrating changing of options, parameters, server names, messing with the registry etc.... Finally, I found a way to overcome this problem.
The solution is:
In Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, select:
Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Data Connections,
Change the setting: "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" to "SQLEXPRESS". (where SQLEXPRESS is the default server instance name)
That solved this 1st problem.
I still don't know the exact reason for this problem. But I recalled I did installed the VWDExpress few weeks ago, I might have installed it without selecting SQL server 2005 express at that point. I guess the subsequent install/re-install did not clean up those junk in the registry.
I still have the 2nd problem:
The "Create new SQL database..." option is always grayed out when I right click on the Data connections in the "Database Explorer" tab.
I have a bypass for this difficulty for time being:
I have to do it by using the "Add connection....", put in the server name: "myserver/SQLEXPRESS" and a new database name.

Hello all, I am new to MS SQL Server and am having troubles figuring out how to create a new database file. I have installed everything I can and and still cannot find any where to add a database file. I am upgrading from Access to SQL and feel like I am missing something... I will eventually need to create a couple of SQL databases and connect from Classic ASP and ASP.net in different applications. Before I worry about how to connect I need ot create something to connect to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Panhead
Hi all, I'm new to sql server ce and would like to know how can I create the sdf file?
Is it the sdf file have to be published from sql server 2005? Are there any other ways to do? Coz I planned to write a win32 application to create the sdf file then deploy it the mobile device, but I found I cannot add the System.Data.SqlServerCe reference into the win form in Visual Studio.
I have a newbie question here. I have a SQL Server Database and I need to create a column that displays the row number. I tried adding an Identity Primary Key which worked until a row got deleted and the count was off. How do I create a column that displays the row number and recounts when a row is deleted. Thanks!
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Hello, How are you? I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
In one of my applications running on a MSSQL database, I need to issue a select call to an Oracle database to pull information into my application.
To accomplish this,
1. the ORacle Admin has created a view of the Oracle database for me. 2. I have installed the Oracle client on the SQl server box. 3. A friend has told me that one way to accomplish this is create a linked server from SQL to use OLE/DB for Oracle to connect to the Oracle database 4. So I create the linked server successfully; create the server login sp_addlinkedsrvlogin successfully 5. When I go to query the database, I get the error below:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 (or greater) client software installation.
You will be unable to use this provider until these components have been installed.]
Hi All,I want to use MS sql server edition 2000. I have installed the server. Now iwant to create the database on this server with tables and triggers. Canplease someone suggest me how to do this ?Thanks a lot,Dinesh
We have recently been looking into creating our SQL Server 2005 database as a unicode database using UTF-8 encoding. However initial search's suggest that SQL Server 2005 does not support the creation of UTF-8 db's and only supports UCS-2. Is this the case? If so then why is it not supported as most other vendors (Oracle, IBM) support it. If it is possible to create a UTF-8 database could you provide some details on how to go about this?
I need detailed instructions on how to connect to a database from a Microsoft Access 2007 database to a Microsft Office Accounting 2007 database. The accounting database is an SQL 2005 datbase. It has an instance name of "MSSMLBIZ".
When I try I get an SQL error 53. Do not have permissions or database does not exist.
I have SQL Server 2005 installed with Sql Server Management Studio Express and when I open up the Management Studio program and try to create a new Database Engine I am getting the below errors: Create failed for Database 'rufnek'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo) An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
I'm not a DBA, so I don't know where to look for information on this.
In SQL Server 2005, I can simply no longer create a user for the database I created. It asks that the user be associated with a login. That login is found in the Security folder of the database instance.
The question is: what is this instance security folder for? I don't recall having to do this in SQL Server 2000.
Any elaboration or links to such information would be appreciated.
I am creating a program that will take a master database and create separate databases for class room training.creating my own app to do this since it will have other stuff to do.i will have a master database that i will need to create multiple copies of. 2-20 copies, it is about 7GB large. it is used in a classroom training course for our company software. it will also copy a folder on the server onto multiple subfolders.each computer in the classroom will access its own copy of the database/windows folders.
What i am looking for is a fast/reliable way to create the multiple database copies. then when the training class is over and a new one is getting started, we will run my program to reset everything back to start.Should i detach/copy/attach or create a master backup and restore it 20 times. What kind of user access pitfalls will i need to look out for.

we have some reference tables in in a specific database. that other applications need to have access to them. Is it possible to create a view in the application's database to retrive data from ref database while users just have access to the application Database not the view's underlying tables?

In my project, I have added a database called aspnetdb.mdf and I store all the required information here. Now I want to write a seperate Cryatl Report for my manager, that accesses this database and display required data. This report is not a part of the asp.net project. This is only for my manager. My database is not attached to any server. I just use the attachdb in the coonection string of my project to attach this database. no I want my crystal report to access this database. If I can create an ODBC connection to this database, it will solve my problem. Dows any body know how to access this database from Crystal with or without ODBC? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi - hope someone can help. We're creating a ASP.NET C# site that allows a user to connect to any of our 100+ SQL Servers and query a database that sits on every server. I'm trying to work out (and failing) how we can set the 'Data Source' in a connection string dynamically using the server name selected by the user in a drop down box. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,
We have a mobile device project, which has a database file (Database.sdf) as part of the project. I am trying to connect to it to insert a record. The syntax I'm using is:
I have tried various connection strings such as "data source=MyDocumentsDatabase.sdf"; and "data source=C:MyProjectsThisParticularProjectDatabase.sdf"; << the connection string in teh server explorer
and "data source=MyAssemblyName.Database.sdf"; and "data source=MyAssemblyNameDatabase.sdf";
I've also tried getting the path the the executing assembly and adding that in, but still no luck.
but they all throw the error: The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File name = Database.sdf ]
I have searched the internet and found no explanation about how the path to the Database is made up (ie is it the path on *my* computer, or the virtual mobile device?) and how I can actually get the path the the database without hardcoding it.
