I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I'm currently developing a tablet application which uses SQL Mobile 2005.
I added the reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe DLL and copied all the necessary DLLs of the SQL Mobile SDK (from the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Sevrver 2005 Mobile EditionDeviceMobilev3.0 ablet directory) to my output directory.
But when my code hits the first SQL Mobile related line:
SqlCeEngine dbEngine = new SqlCeEngine();
I get an BadImageFormatException. This happens both on the Tablet and my development machine. I already reinstalled the SQL Mobile 2005 Device SDK, both nothing changed after that.
Any ideas why this fails? Is it a bug in the System.Data.SqlServerCe DLL or the SDK?
First off, please allow me to extend my thanks to those of you who've helped me with the one or two questions I've had over the last month with regards to SQL Server Express. We more or less successfully rolled out a new version of our software migrated to SQL Server Express to our client today and they were very happy with it.
There is one perplexing problem though. There were about 20-odd installations on Sony VAIO's which all went relatively seamlessly. One of the users, however, has a couple of Panasonic ToughBook CF-19s with Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 Edition with SP2 installed. His are the *only* machines which our solution is not working on.
By way of description, the system is a revamp of a Microsoft Access legacy platform and in order to simplify the conversion, I opted to use ODBCDirect as well as Jet in different parts of the program; not ideal but I had no choice really. So the program accesses the server in two ways. It either uses an ODBC DSN created using the relevant settings through Control Panel or it uses an ODBC-linked Access file linked to the server. These connections both work fine on all the Sony VAIO's and the program is able to start.
On the ToughBooks (we've tried it on two with the same result), I'm sure that the ODBC connection is working fine, as the "Test Data Source" button executes favourably and says that the test succeeded. This is further confirmed during startup of our app which automatically attempts to login to the server and displays the success of that.
My suspicion, therefore, is that it is failing when it attempts to open the ODBC-linked database (I can't be 100% sure since the client is not going to be happy about me installing debuggers on their pretty machine), but all evidence suggests this is the case. Does anyone have an idea if there is something in Tablet PC Edition which could be causing this failure, since it has all worked fine on XP Professional installations on different laptops and desktops.
Hi~! i use my computer to create a project for my UMPC(with Tablet PC system). i want to use SQL server compact 3.1 and VB2005 to finish the work.. i need to upload some data from UMPC to SERVER. How can i do? The UMPC can not connect to PC by ActiveSync. so how can i move the data?
Is there a way to transfer data from a SqlServer db to a SqlServer Express db. I tried to use the backup file of SqlServer, but this file is not valid for SqlServer Express. Or there any alternatives?
Hello All Great Developers,My Brothers... blease help me I am a new in this domain, I need to Know if I can make c# porject with SQL server Express Database, and I need to make install to this project to work in any PC without install any another tool or sqlserver program, blease answer me ,blease
I've succesfully installed Visual C# and I've made a couple of example projects. I now want to try and create a database and see if I can make a C# application that talks to it.
So I've installed SQL Server Express. I was hoping I could open it up and get started with creating tables etc. Instead, my Start menu shows:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
>>>Configuration Tools
>>>>>>SQL Server Configuration Manager
>>>>>>SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
>>>>>>SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Where do I go now? Is there some configuring to do before I can start making tables and storing data? Or, have I misunderstood what SQL Server is about?
After installing Visual Studio 2005 everything has installed fine EXCEPT SQLSERVER 2005. I remember having had the same problem some moths ago, but can't remember now how to fix it. I deinstalled VS2005 and installed back again, but the result was the same. SQLSERVER failed to install
Hello, Fairly new to asp.net developers community. Can't believe I havent took interest in this before! Please let me know what I need to learn in terms of resources for creating the mentioned functionality on my asp web page. I already have a sqldatabase and tables created with data. (This database is reading from another system every 15 mins)The problem is not the database, its working fine, I even have a MS Access frontend that I use. I want to take the query functionality on the web. ( par number look up to display description, price and unit of measure I need to have a box for the user to enter a number (1-xxx)..Populate 4 columns with xxx rows.In column one enter 'partnbr"...that looks up the "partnbr' in the "partlist_table" and send back "description" "price" "unit of measure" Once the info remains on the , I can create masterpages to resemble a quote. Thank you much for your help. Dev
I am very (almost two days) new to SQL Server Express (in fact SQL Server). In my old applications I am using VB.Net 2005 Express with MS Access database and now I wants to go for SQL Server Express.
One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)
Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server .
Ok from what I understand, sqlserver 2005 is FREE, and it is not limited by the number of concurrent connections etc etc.
So this means you can put sqlserver 2005 express on a dedicated server, and it can pretty much handle all the load you can throw right? (except if your say running myspace hehe)
All the Componets are grayed out disabled and not available to proceed further while installing. All of them have a red cross mark on it saying "Unavailable"
I actually wanted to instal Reporting services component and related services in my machine
Note : MY database server(sqlserver 2005) is connected to this report server(above) by LAN.
Could you please let me know where and how I could install Reporting services
I would really like to be using SQLServer Express 2005 for some desktop database applications and replace MSDE. However, I am using VS.NET 2003 and so far I have not been able to discover if that combination will work.
I have followed the link to download SP1 of SQLServer 2005 Express Edition, but, on that page nowhere it is mentioned that downloads offered are of SP1, it simply says that SQLServer 2005 Express edition.
What is the correct link and am I really on the correct page of SP1 ?
I would like to import data to a sqlserver express database. The database I am interested in importing was created in MSDE. I tried backing it up and using the restore function in sqlserver express but with no success. I have not been able to find an import function in the Management Studio Express interface. Is it possible to import this information, or should I get busy with my data entry?
When I try to run the install it detects some previous versions components. The remove all previous beta components fails and I have removed everything from the Add/Remove Programs.
I use Access 2007 SQLserver Upsize but get errors saying SQL Server not found. Is there another way of copying tables from Access to SQL Server 2005 Express. I am not very familiar with SQL Server Express but did a course in SQL Server programming.
I just implemented full text search on a table and it doesn't work like I expected. I am using a stored procedure to search a company name column.
CREATE PROCEDURE swsp_GetCompanyRecord @companyName varchar(120) as begin select recID, companyName from TABLE where contains (companyName, @companyName) end
I use the stored procedure as follows:
swsp_GetCompanyRecord '"Reynolds Aluminum"' (Quotation marks inside single quote)
If I search for a company (e.g., Reynolds Aluminum), I get the following results:
Search Returns Reynolds Reynolds Aluminum Reynolds A Reynolds Aluminum Reynolds Al nothing Reynold nothing Aluminum Reynolds Aluminum
I guess I expected this to work similar to 'LIKE' in that it would return the full company name if I gave it any portion of the name. Is there something wrong with the way I've implemented this?
I am currently Using SQL Server Express for testing purposes while waiting for SQL 2008 to be issued. (Our project will take some 2-3 years to complete so concerns about using a 'new' version of SQL Server are not pertinent). We have ordered this week Visual Studio 2008 as the shrink wrap version is due out the end of this week.
I have been able to migrate all our data from the old database (Superbase) but only field names and field types.
Indexes and validation stuff is lost.
The problem I have is that:
I can only import to an empty database, therefore if I start to create Indexes and otherwise modify the structure of this database in SQL Server then I will lose all this work on the next occasion I need to import (as Superbase will still continue to be our firm's current daily data handling tool for another year or two)
My thoughts where to create a copy of the original import, develop the constraints, indexes etc. on this secondary copy. then (on the day we are ready to migrate) empty the copy of data and import the data only
Does SQL Server Express have the tools to do this?
If not then are my best options to use SQL Server Beta until the new software is realeased (but notice that Visual Studio 2008 does not like SQL2008 - is there a fix for this?)
I hope this is the right forum for these questions
I am building a Visual Web Developer site with a SQL Server 2005 Express backend. I am trying to create the login page, I have written a stored procedure that takes in the username and password and returns a value which indicates whether the user is valid or not. My problem now is integrating this stored procedure into the page. In Visual Studio 2003 you could just drag and drop the stored procedure from the Database Explorer window and it would create the neccessary SQLCommand which you can then pass parameters too and recieve return values, i.e:
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@username" ].value = TextUsername.Text; sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@password" ].value = TextPassword.Text; sqlConnection1.Open(); sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery(); Int Result = (int)sqlcommand.Parameters["@returnvalue"].value; sqlConnection1.Close();
I see in VWD there are SqlDataSource's etc, is this what I need to use to do what I'm looking for and how do they exactly work? Ideally what I'm looking for is when a user clicks login, the contents of the 'username' and 'password' text boxes are queried against the database. What controls and configuration is required to achieve this?
Iām working with an Sqlserver 2005 Express database on my local machine, and using vs.net 2005.I need to enable the sqlserver cache by the way: aspnet_regsql -E -d Northwind -ed I encountered the remote connection problem(error:40).The northwind database was restored to the sqlserver 2005 express by the db file downloaded,and I added the ASPNET user.I also enabled the TCP/IP by using SQL Server Configuration Manager. But all the web application connected to the Northwind database is working through the connection string: "Data Source=WKS-DEV-04SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True" Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
