Locally Connecting To An SQL File
Feb 6, 2008
I am trying to loaclly connect to an sql file, i have installed SQl server management studio express, and have downloaded the file, so that i can access it locally, i have trawled about the whole of this site, but can't seem to find anything that helps.
The problem i have is i have a couple of guys telling me that i need to download the backup of teh database, which is in a .BAK format, then rename to .sql, and the open using sql 2005. However when i do this sql 2005 opens, but the a copy of notepad open infront of this, and the .sql file opens up in that. I am a total noob when it come to SQL however, with the help of some online tutorials have managed to teach myself SQL code, and a bit of basic PHP, but nowhere does it go into any great detail about the software surrounding SQl, or accessing the database, all the information i could find is on the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my employers are getting a little bit anxious about all of this now, i know that once these creases are ironed out then i don't have a problem, but getting to the point that i am competent at is the trouble.

I had asked a question last week and I realized that I had phrased it in a misleading way. Within a lab environment at my company, we are experimenting w/ accessing remote SQL data files stored separately on another machine from the SQL server itself (whether it be another client or server).
The experiment is this: You have one client machine accessing a SQL server via Enterprise Manager. The datafiles that you are trying to access are stored on another machine that does not have SQL Server installed. This remote machine only has the datafiles.
Can one map a static path via UNC from the SQL server to the datafiles on the remote machine and then access these datafiles (as long as the user's account has the appropriate permissions to the remote machine)? To my understanding, within SQL server you can only access datafiles that are stored locally on the SQL server itself.
The other thing that I was wondering was if the type of user account had some significance in this situation. More than likely, a local user account would not be able to access the remote machine w/ the datafiles even if the SQL server could map an UNC path and retain it. A domainuser account might be able to do this though.
Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.

Hi
I've build a client management (Windows) application in VS2005 which works fine on the local development machine but falls over when trying to connect to the SQL Server Express file located on a second machine on the same Workgroup. Several of the apllications will connect to the database file from networked computers.
The error I get when testing the connection or trying to connect via the App is:---------------------------------------------------------------The file "Z:BushBreaks.MDF" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach and auto-named database for file z:ushbreaks.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened or it is on a UNC share.---------------------------------------------------------------
How can I configure this database and/or connection to be able to allow connections to the MDF file? Please note that security is not an issue if that is at all relevant.
Many ThanksJohn

Hello, I have correctly installed sql express 2005 onto my company server. I can connect to the sql express 2005 fine within sql management studio express. I can also connect to it the within visual studio 2005 server explorer. I have my database (MDF) on our server. I am trying to run my application within my client computer. I have changed the connection string property to connect to the server:
"Data Source=CTSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=UpdateAttributes;Integrated Security=True"
My program will only work if there is a local copy of MDF database located within my application directory. If I remove the local copy, it errors "No process is on the other end of the pipe" Is it possible to have my application without the local copy of the MDF? I thought the idea is to have the MDF on the server. Then my app would not have the MDF copy!?

after installing 2005, if trying to connect to local server it is giving me 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.

Currently, we have our SQL database behind our firewall.
Our App is required to log each page hit to a DB table with some additional data that we would not get from the regular IIS logfiles. So every page hit means a trip through the firewall...
Since this type of activity is limited purely to DB inserts, i'm curious what the thoughts are on using a copy of MSDE on the webserver itself to store this data.
What is the lesser of 2 evils
-- Take a trip through the firewall for each page to log the hits in a secure SQL DB
-- Log the Hit in a less secure / limited version of a SQL DB

Here is a strange one. Have a sql2k box that I upgraded from 6.5 back. Conversion went fine, everything was ok with the sql install. Created and scheduled maintenance jobs while logged on to the box. A few days after the conversion, Enterprise Manager cannot register the server(error message is 'Data source name not found and connection libraries do not exist'). This inablilty to register the server only occurs when working on the server itself. You can register the server while connecting from another box with EM.
So, do some checking and find that the box itself does not recognize SQLSRV32.dll (etc) as even existing on the box BUT IT DOES EXIST in the normal places, it was a working install just a few days prior. As far as the box is concerned, the network libraries do not exist. Therefore, cannot register the server locally, cannot create a Data Source using the SQLSRV32 driver, cannot start the Sql Server Agent(so no scheduled back ups, etc).
Went so far as to re install the connectivity and client tools, which did not fix the issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?

My client has given me a DB file (.MDF) and I need to open it in order to export it to the remote DB.
In Enterprise Manager I go to 'New Database' - create a new DB and click on the 'Data' tab to browse to my clients file. Enterprise Manager recognises the file and everything seems hunky dory. but the resulting DB seems to have no tables.
The DB file is 1600K and has some stored procedures but if I try to export the tables there is nothing. His ASP files refer to tables in the SQL as you would expect.
Am I missing something? it's the weekend so he is not available and I don't want to look tooo stupid!

I am very confused. I've finally gotten everything to work the way I want on my pc, but when I ftp to the Internet (URL is hosted on GoDaddy), everything goes haywire. I had to create a new database on the host server, and when I use an aspx login, I get the following message:
The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.
I know what the connection string to the database is, but where do I enter that information? I'm obviously new at asp.net and sql, and I need major help.
Thanks. Linda

Hi all,
I have a 400MB Excel file that I consume from another automated process (don't ask). I copy this file down locally to my server, and I am attempting to create an SSIS package that points to this file via a connection manager. My computer starts gobbling up massive amounts of memory (devenv.exe gets up to about 800MB or so, then drops back down to 100MB) even when I attempt to rename the connection in the connection managers tab.
I have set all BypassPrepare to TRUE and ValidateExternalMetadata properties to FALSE, and still it can take up to 3 to 6 minutes for BI Dev Studio to respond. My specs:
Intel Centrino Duo 2.00 GHz
2GB RAM
XP Pro SP2
There MUST be a way for me to work effectively on a file of this size. Please help! Thanks much for any assistance.
Sincerely,
Brian Pulliam

I need to set up web services locally on my machine.I am working in a team. They gave project that I mapped to my local drive and take the latest version and build the solution. Some of them are configured to use IIS. So before build the solution, in the IIS manager I created the self certificate and added https binding.
I am not sure after that what I have to do? How to test my web services are running locally or not?Do I need to do anything else to set up web services locally?

I have an application that utilizes aspnet for membership.
The application utilizes the same database (in SQLServer) for storage of other things. I have a view as follows:
USE [DB_Name]
GO
/****** Object: View [dbo].[Authorization] Script Date: 06/29/2007 15:27:25 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE VIEW Authorization
AS
SELECT dbo.Domain.Domain_ID, dbo.Domain.Domain_Name, dbo.Alias.Alias_Name,
dbo.Alias.Alias_Authority, dbo.Domain.Domain_ProcessType, dbo.Domain.Domain_Status,
dbo.aspnet_Users.UserName AS Owner_Name
FROM dbo.Alias INNER JOIN
dbo.Domain ON dbo.Alias.Alias_Parent_ID = dbo.Domain.Domain_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.aspnet_Users ON dbo.Domain.Domain_Owner_ID = dbo.aspnet_Users.UserId
This works fine locally. However, I am hosting this on GoDaddy and though it allows me to create the table, it seems to have a problem (I'm guessing because it is referencing differing schemas?) and I get an error of: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Authorization'.through the SQLServer Web interface whenever I attempt to view the data from this view.
I don't doubt that there is some kind of difference between the manner that SQLServer has set up the schemas and how they are set up on my local version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss of how to get this info and truly want to utilize the view as it would improve performance over a query - at least I believe so. My thinking is that although there may be a performance drop when the item is being added, I gain on the back-end where I really need the performance over utilizing a query.
Thanks,
Steven Henley

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 express on my local Windows
XP Professional machine. I've searched the the MS fora and Google
but all the answers I find relate to trying to connect to a remote DB,
not local.
I run the aspnet_regsql.exe program in the interactive wizard mode, and
in the Select the Server and Database step when I click on the Database
drop-down list an error box pops up:
Connection failed
Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL server.
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)
Exactly the same error message appears when I:
* Change the 'Server' name from my computer's name to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or SQLEXPRESS. in the aspnet_regsql wizard.
* Stop my firewall (ZoneAlarm, native Windows firewall is disabled, and I switched off my cable modem at the time).
* Use the SQL Server surface area utility to enable remote connections
with both named pipes and TCP/IP), and also to enable CLR integration
in the Features section.
* Stop the SQL Server service. I did this to see if a different
error occurred, but it's as if aspnet_regsql.exe can't even see the SQL
Server.
* Have an additional instance of SQL Server running under my own username (see below).
I have an ASP.NET project (created by someone else on another computer) which attempts
to open a SQL Server database. It runs fine until the call to
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection::Open() which raises an exception
with exactly the same error string as above (including what's in
parentheses). The connection string is "Data
Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=blah;Integrated Security=SSPI;" where
blah is specific to the company I'm doing this for.
I've created a test ASP.NET project to which I added a SQL
Database. My only option was to create a .mdf file in the
APP_DATA folder. The connection string is "Data
Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;User Instance=True" and it works fine and displays the
data I've put into the database, but in the Task Manager another
instance of sqlservr.exe appears (running under my username; the
existing sqlservr.exe runs under the NETWORK SERVICE username).
Should this happen??
If I stop the SQL Server service (or both of them), an error message in my web browser
appears (no exception is raised because there's no code in the project,
just a data-bound control). The error is the same as above,
except the parenthetical part is "(provider: SQL Network Interfaces,
error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)".
Edit: oh yeah, I've also tried to set up an ODBC data source connected
to SQL Server throught the Control Panel/Admin, but the ODBC applet
can't seem to see SQL Server either. I only get three options for
data sources: dBASE files (.dbf), Excel files (.xls), and MS Access
Database (.mdb). If I click on 'Add' and select "SQL Server" and
go on from there, it comes back and says the server doesn't exist or
refuses access. If I stop the service, the ODBC applet says the
sql server wasn't found.
Can anyone help please?
I'm stumped..

I have a DTS package that I am calling in my code-behind (vb) of one of my asp.net pages on my intranet. The package takes a FoxPro table that is on our network and inserts it into a SQL Server table in one of our databases. The package gets called and executed properly when I am working on it in development on my local workstation, but when I publish it to our intranet, which is in the same domain and behind the same firewall, the package does not execute. No error shows up on the published page, but also nothing gets executed. Has anyone encountered this? Here is my code, which is pretty straightforward:
oPkg = Server.CreateObject("DTS.Package")oPkg.LoadFromSQLServer("[servername]", "sa", "[password]", DTSSQLStgFlag_Default, "", "", "", "Invoice Import")oPkg.Execute()
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to do the Chapter 1 project of Getting Started with ADO.net 2.0 Step by Step (microsoft press)...
I enter the data source configuration wizard and select database, and press next.
I then press the new connection button, and the Choose data source screen appears.
In the List are only 2 options:
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft SQL Server Database File.
The option they want me to choose does not appear in the list.
Microsoft SQL Server sqlclient
I tried following the instructions in this thread [http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=85686&siteid=1] where a user had a similar problem, but had no success.
I have reinstalled C#, reinstalled SQL Server Express 2005 with Advanced Tools, but neither helped.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I have a visual basic 2005 application where I am storing some data in a Sequel Server Database. It's my first attempt using SQL Server. It was developed on my machine and the database is on my local hard drive.
It was put onto an industrial PC and shipped last December (the vb app is an HMI).
Our service guy is installing the machine and asked for some changes to the VB screens. I ran my app (on my computer) and it crashed when I selected the screen where I use the db.
So I decided to look at the database using Visual Basic and I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
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)
I then tried to create a new database via Visual Basic and get the same error. My boss has it installed on his machine. Same error there. These are both machines that had no problem back in December!
I also have a industrial PC on my desk to test my app and it STILL WORKS there. That one though is not connected to the internet and hasn't gotten any updates or changes or whatever since I last had it on in December. I don't know if it was a windows update or a network change? But as I said, I'm not connecting remotely - SQL Server and the db are on our local machines.
Interesting enough, if I go to the control panel | Administrative Tools | Services, SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is set to automatic and is NOT started. I attempt to start it and get an error
Services
Windows could not start the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 3417.
I am lost.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all, I hope this is a simple issue that I'm overlooking something or have contradicting permissions set somewhere. I have a fairly basic site with a subfolder containing an aspx page. The user logs in to gain access to the subfolder. That part works fine.On another page(also within a subfolder in the subfolder), they can post form data to a database (SQL Server 2000) which exists on a different server than my web server. This page opens fine, but when submitting the data (only one value to one field for my testing purposes), it bombs and returns the error "Login failed for user"...In my connection string I've specified the username and password which I assigned to the db in Enterprise Manager (not sa, btw). I've also tried letting IIS control the UID/PW, and even specified no UID/PW in either the connection string or the db. Anonymous access enabled in IIS for this virtual directory also returns the error. (?)I should mention that in Visual Studio, the connection string was automatically set to my local development machine's workstation ID. I removed that and have tried replacing it with the server name, blank, etc.(in notepad) - to no avail. dll's are in their proper places, etc. The only thing not working is the database connection.Using: IIS v6, SQL Server 2000, and Visual Studio.NET 2003 (1.1 framework)Anyway - any suggestions? There are so many places to enable/disable permissions, it's getting confusing. I hope it's something I'm overlooking and not a problem with our SQL installation...Thanks!--Donnie

I am having the most baffling problem with DTS.... :confused:
I have a set of ActiveX transforms that execute on my customers flat transaction data files, destination a single database table. Since they switched to a new method of generating the flat file using SAS, the DTS package mysteriously will fail at a couple select records. The error is always the same, and turning on error logging in DTS yielded this:
Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failed
Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider
Step Error Description:Too many columns found in the current row; non-whitespace characters were found after the last defined column's data.
Step Error code: 80043013
Step Error Help File: DTSFFile.hlp
Step Error Help Context ID:0
Step Execution Started: 11/16/2004 6:37:51 PM
Step Execution Completed: 11/16/2004 6:39:39 PM
Total Step Execution Time: 107.415 seconds
Progress count in Step: 515000
The exact same file parses all the way through on my laptop, with the same DTS package. Tests have revealed no strange characters or whitespaces in the data file, not at that record (running a Test... on any of the active x transforms will fail at row 515186 always, until that row is deleted and it fails on some subsequent row - this iteration went on at the customer site until about 5 rows were deleted this month and it finally worked), not at any other records. My database and the customer database are both using the same, default character set.
The only microsoft KB article referencing anything resembling my problem is
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292588
but this does not hold because I am not specifying fixed width, but rather comma delimited.
If anyone has any ideas about what other environmental variables are coming into play here, please let me know - I'm at the end of my rope. I believe we are both patched up to SQL 2000 SP3. They have an XP client connecting to a 2003 server; I have an XP client/server. Neither machine has the NLS_LANG environment variable set.

getting SQL able to import files via ORS. So we got it to work on local drives, but not over networked drives. This is the code and error:
select * into sample.dbo.[eriktest] from
OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Data Source=serverSample est.xlsx;
Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=YES;IMEX=1"')...[Sheet1$]
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
But going from the local C: or D: drives is fine. I also tried using xp_cmdshell (OPC) to map a drive, and then tried using ORS with the drive letter, and got the same error.
