Can anyone guide me to a place where I can download some Tutorials / Books (Not that new) covering Microsoft SQL 2000 essentials ? I tried to find here, but artices are too advanced for me.. I need something that covers the Basic and that could be used as a small reference/guide while I am learing...
I am using VB with Visual Studio Express. I am new to these tools. I have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on my machine. I think that I have the right version. I am just using Express for taking classes and teaching myself on my machine. When I follow the examples in the book, I keep getting this error when I go to my ASP.NET configuration and click on the security tab to add myself as a user. "There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: The database filename can not contain the following 3 characters: [ (open square brace), ] (close square brace) and ' (single quote) " -- end of erro msg. I have an apostrophe in my last name. Could that be what is causing it? Is it creating a db based on my name or something? Or do I have the wrong version of SQL Server Express installed. Thank you for any help. I appreciate it.
How do you use BOL? I've heard time again that there is much info in BOL but when i look at it it seems too brief and not detailed. I find it hard to find what i'm looking for anyway. How do you use it?
Hi All,I searched this news group but couldn't find that problem whichis suprising... maybe I'm doing something stupid.I start one of the chm files (books on line help files).I read about a topic. There are links.I click on them. It tells me "Selection is not associated with anytopic. Please try again.". Its ahref link to jscript function:javascript:hhobj_1.Click() but I do not have it and cannot find it.So I have to go between all those chm files hoping to find the topicof my choice.Plus I want to search them all at once.There must be a (smart) and easy way to do this.Please, do you have any suggestions.ThankfullyJimmy Ol' Boy
are a mess, reminiscent of the structurless "goto" programming of days past. One of you brainiacs need to erect a "real" getting started section, with procedural steps on how a first time user can successfully download, install, and use SQL Server Express. Not all of us are working in corporations where the guy in the next cubicle can answer questions for newbies.
I will try once again, nicely, to ask a question about installing SQL Server Express Edition SP2 onto a Windows Vista machine. That drama will take place in another post.
I am trying to install sql server 2005 books online but I am failing and I am getting this message "This installation pakage could not be opened.Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"
am I doing anything wrong or has the version of books online changed? Do I have to install anything else before installing it? or does my operating system not support it?
Check out the new Books Online search functionality online. The link below provides a scoped search of Books Online that returns a more precise and targeted result set. You can use it to search Books Online content quickly.
I downloaded and tried to install the file "SqlServer2K5_BOL_May2007.msi" and got a message: "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." Please advise.
Can some one give me detail instruction to installing the SQL Server 2005 Express Books Online. I am new to SQL Server and want to install the MS training material.
I am trying to go thru the deployment tutorial, but I'm running into some trouble. The two sample packages I need to work with are called DataTransfer.dtsx and LoadXMLData.dtsx found in the samples.
When I examine these packages, they are writing to tables called dbo.HighIncomeCustomers and dbo.OrderDatesByCountryRegion. These tables don't exist in my copy of AdventureWorks database.
Also, when I try to open the Connection Manager for the target tables, I get a message that says, "The specified provider is not suported. Please choose different provider in connection manager."
Is it possible I'm having these issues because I'm working with a different version of the sample packages?
Hi,I have been trying to download the latest update to SQL Server BOL forquite some time without any success. I have tried downloading around3-4 times.

We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

I inherited a computer from a co-worker who left. On it she installed SQL Server 2005. The help system is chock full of references to the various and sundry tutorials that come with the product, but I can't find so much as a syllable about how one actually accesses those tutorials.
When I select Start, Programs, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Documentation and Tutorials, Tutorials, SQL Server Tutorials, it simply launches one of the help screens. That screen, and the ones it contains links to, describe the tutorials topics in great detail, but nowhere is there any explanation of how you actually launch the tutorials.
Can someone tell me where I can find some SQL 2005 tutorials, e-learning or learnig tool for a kind of beginner. I want something where I can learn by doing. Some of the tutorials I have seen all pertain to .NET.
I feel stupid for asking this but I can't seem to find where to install the SSIS tutorials referenced in msdn.. specifically the "Deploying Packages Tutorial". In the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition DVD that I have, I've chosen to install all of the samples etc. I have the AdventureWorks and AdventureWorksDW and a whole bunch of samples in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesIntegration ServicesPackage Samples" but under the directory "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesIntegration ServicesTutorial" I only have sample data for "Creating a Simple ETL Package".
I know... feels like a dumb question but I have run the install wizard on both the dev edition dvd and the msdn library dvd several times and looked at all the options and can't find anything about tutorials under the SQL server installation or the workstation component installation. Please help. Thanks.
I'm new to SQL Server Technology and am trying to learn how to create a Mobile Device application and to sync it with a desktop application that uses Access. I have found a lot of information but some of it doesn't seem to make sense.
I found this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlservereverywhere/archive/2006/08/29/729730.aspx which is the announcement of Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) CTP. I downloaded it and installed it with all the prerequisites. This is the part i can't understand:
"The CTP setup installs the desktop component required for synchronizing Microsoft Access database with SQL Server Everywhere Edition database on the device."
I cannot seem to find the desktop component to try out! The Readme shows you how to pull and push data but i can't see where the desktop data sync wizard is located. Should there be something installed on my desktop that i can see?
Also, there doesn't seem to be much help or examples around on this component as yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction for examples, help, or tutorials on this.
This paragraph also confuses me:
"Note: As of today only SQL Server Mobile Edition is available for devices. SQL Server Everywhere Edition whould be available for devices at time of SQL Server Everywhere Edition RTW whihc is planned for November 2006".
Does this mean SQL Everywhere won't work on mobile devices until November?
Sorry for all the questions but i'm still trying to learn this stuff so i can write my application for Windows CE. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to learn MS Sql Server and MS VB, ASP, .Net, etc., have installed SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 on an XP Pro machine. I find fairly good MSDN help with VB & ASP stuff, but not with SQL Server. Can anyone recommend a good place to start, like online tutorials, or training, or even a good basic book that can show me how to create db’s, tables, load data, basic stuff like that?
Hi - can anyone recommend tutorials/guides for beginners? The Microsoft documentation seems very poor to me especially in comparison to Oracle Express. I am really struggling to find a good intro/tutorial. Many thanks db
I installed SQL Server 2005 and want to practice the "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile" in SQL Server Mobile Editon Tutorials,but I can't find the file sqlmobile.sql listed in "C:" according to tutorial document.
I have downloaded and run all the .msi's for the sample databases. To install them I am suppose to use "SQL Server 2005 Setup, you need to click the Advanced button....". I don't seem to have a "SQL Server 2005 Setup" - did the docs revert back to SQL Server rather than SQL Express or what ???
Does anyone know where we can get more in-dept tutorials for the Data Mining Add-Ins for Excel? Currently, all we have are the videos from the microsoft web site as well as some white papers.
I can not seem to locate this file any where on my computer let alone in the specified directory. With out this file, it would be very difficult if not impossible to go through rest of the SSIS tutorials. Could I ftp this file from some locations so I could get started on the tutorials.
