SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition Limitations

Nov 20, 2007

Dear,

I'm building an ASP.NET application using C# language and SQL Server 2000. This application is dedicated to be hosted on a VIsta Machine.Unfortunately Vista does not supports SQL SERVER 2000 so i must migrate to the SQL SERVER 2005. Since the application is a small application, we couldn't afford buying an SQL SERVER 2005 License so i decided to use SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition. But i would like to know exactly what are the Limitation on the Express Edition to see if it will work with my application or No. Please Can anyone refer any document that describes in details all the limitation of the Express Edition ??? Thanks a lot.

SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Limitations

Oct 22, 2006

Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I'm trying to find out what the limitations of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (DE) are. I've gone through the Microsoft SQL Server site and they have very little information about the developer edition.Is there a connection limit for DE like 2000 did?

SQL Express Limitations

Jun 6, 2006

Hi, I was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to get around SQL Express Edition 2005's limitations to support remote connections. If I install SQL Server 2005, will there be a smooth transition between the two on my IIS 5.1 server? My database is extremely simple and only consists of a single table without any complex queries. Idealy, I would like to spend no money since I am a poor collge student doing this as a project. Suggestions?

SQL Express RAM && CPU Limitations

Mar 10, 2008

With the limitation of 1Gb of ram and 1 CPU for SQL Express, does that mean we cannot load it on a server with multiple CPU's and more ram, or that we can load it and it will only use 1CPU and 1Gb of ram?

SQL Server Express Limitations

Jun 21, 2006

I was looking around, and I found this info on SQL Server Express:The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log
files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be
attached to the server.Does this mean I can use several different databases in my website, like one separate db containing forum entries, and one with user details and related stuff?

SQL Server Express - Size Limitations

Mar 13, 2007

Hi,

I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.

I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.

Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.

Thanks for your help.

SQL Express/SSRS Memory Limitations

Jul 18, 2007

Hello,

I am aware that SQL Express has a memory limitation of 1GB. I am trying to determine if this 1GB memory is shared with the Report Server. In other words, if I run a query that requires 600MB of memory, and a report that pushes the Report Server to 600MB of memory, will I exceed the 1GB limit for SQL Express? Or are these two separate processes for memory limitation purposes?

If they are separate processes, are there any limitations to the Report Server as far as performance when using the Express edition of SSRS? If not, would it not make sense to push the Report Server harder than the database when running reports if SQL Express is my target platform? (e.g., do MORE work in the RS, and less in the database itself)

Thanks,

Michael

SQL 2005 Express And CPU/Memory Limitations.

Jul 8, 2006

SQL Express Ed is limited to one CPU, what happens if the CPU is a dual core CPU? Does SQL Express care? Does it see a dual core as a single CPU?

As for memory, stupid question, SQL Express is limited to 1 GB RAM, if I run it on a server with say 4GB of ram packed into it, will it affect SQL Express' performance? Will SQL Express even run if there is more than 1GB available? Or will SQL Express simply ignore the extra RAM with no negative consequences?

Thanks,

Andy

Is There Limitations To Importing Data To SQL Server Express

Apr 7, 2007

I have software that uses SQL Server Express as it's database. I am only able to import so many records until it stops and fails to allow me to import anymore.

I'm very new at this but, is there some type of limitation on Table size that's preventing me from importing anymore data?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me,

Thanks... Bill

Can You Yuse Express Edition Toolkit With Express Edition?

Dec 3, 2007

Hi,
I am looking to using the express edition toolkit for its BI tools but noticed the that it doesn't support a Database engine.
If I am running SQL Express edition, & install the Express toolkit, will this remove the Database engine functionality of the Express edition? Will there be conflicts? Will they run as separate GUI's or is the toolkit added to the Express edition GUI?

Thank you very much for any suggestions anybody might have on this

Nov 14, 2007

Hello everybody,

Wrote before but did not go any answer , try again.

However, does this two versions aloud this kind of communciation...between them....?

Can't Login To SQL 2005 Express Edition Through Mangerment Studio Express

Apr 29, 2007

Hi, all

I installed SQL 2005 express edition in my pc (Pro XP), then I can login from SQL 2005 Managerment Studio Express. After a few days later, I can't do it and an error message as belows:

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)
It seems that the default setting does not allow remote connections, however, I connected it before and havn't change any setting. I try to reinstall the studio express but still not working.

Any idea / solution will be welcome.

Using VB2005 Express To Access A SS2005 Express Edition DB: O/S Error 32

Feb 4, 2006

Looking for help in diagnosing this error:

Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

Now here's what I did:

Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)

So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:

Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next.
Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.

For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider.
Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder).
Use Windows Authentication.

When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.

Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?

Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...

Standard Edition Fails To Install, Express Edition Fails To Uninstall

May 8, 2008

We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.

We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.

There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!

What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?

Replication Between SQL 2005 Express Edition And SQL 2005 Standard Edition

May 10, 2007

Hello everybody,

I got a problem in my development phase. I'm developing a web-application system that running merge database technology which is centralized database and distributed database. This is because my customer want a highly optimum system standby.

My centralized database running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and the distributed database running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (because it is free). Each of these database, the users can change the data on its database. So, every database must have the same data. from my understanding, each server must act as Publisher and Subscriber. Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition be a Publisher?

If not, what the solution you all may suggest, because cost is the first factor. If my architecture is not correct, so what you all suggest to me to resolve the problem.

Thanks so much. Any suggestion and opinion is highly appreciate and I'm highly thanks to you all.

Windows CE 5 Device With SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Sync With SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Oct 25, 2007

I have:

A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.

A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.

The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".

Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.

I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.

If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Replicating From SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition To Remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Aug 13, 2007

Hello,

I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).

Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.

The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.

I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Albert
