I have a SQLExpress Database that I can connect to from a C# application and seperately from an application via 'OBDC' with NO problems. Both applications are running on the Local PC running XPpro.
However, I cannot connect to the same database from both applications at the same time!
Is there a way around this ?, is it a restriction of the Express version ?

I can't start SQLEXPRESS.
The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".
Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?

Hi All,
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Can anybody help me out .
Regards,
Doppalapudi.

Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?

Hi there,
Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()
Try
Dim cmd As IDbCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
Dim sql As String = "EDSConfirmUpdate" '"EDSConfirmUpdate""PswdConfirmation"
'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
'Split string into array
Dim Values() As String = ReturnValue.Split(";~".ToCharArray)
'If the return code is CONTINUE, all is well. Otherwise, collect the
'reason why the result failed and let the user know
If Values(0) = "CONTINUE" Then
Return True
Else
results.Result = Values(0)
'Make sure there is a message being returned
If Values.Length > 1 Then
results.Message = Values(2)
End If
Return False
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
If (Not conn Is Nothing AndAlso conn.State = ConnectionState.Open) Then
conn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Function
''' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
conn.ConnectionString = NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.GetConnectionString(NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.COMMON)
Return conn
End Function
in the above GetConnection() method i
have commented out the .net dataprovider for oledb and changed it to
.net dataprovider for SQLconnection. this function works fine. But in
the authenticate method above at the line
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
for some reason its throwing the below error.
Run-time exception thrown : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException - @password is not a parameter for procedure EDSConfirmUpdate.
If i comment out the
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
and uncomment the .net oledb provider,
Dim conn As IDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
then it works fine.
I also have changed the webconfig file as below.
<!--<add
key="Common" value='User ID=**secret**;pwd=**secret**;Data
Source="ESMALLDB2K";Initial Catalog=cj_common;Auto
Translate=True;Persist Security Info=False;Provider="SQLOLEDB.1";'
/>-->
<add key="Common" value='User ID=**secret**;pwd=**secret**;Data Source="ESMALLDB2K";Initial Catalog=cj_common;' />
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?

Everything works fine until I upload it to webspace :(
I get the following Error
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Hi
I am new to this forum .
I am running through few problems for sqlserver account settings .
I) My registery key entry for MSSQLserver just has a client folder .
2) My sql server configuration manager just has
sqlserver 2005 services , native client configuration and 2005 network configuration.
I can't see any server name or databases under it.
3)I normally work on EMS lite so I can see my ./SQLEXPRESS as server and databases under it and i can create logins etc ..I assigned db_owner role to one of my recent created database.
but when I try to connect it says :
The user is not associated with sqlserver connection.
5) i have sqlserver express service running, vss and sql server browser running.
I googled and searched for the solution and it says the authentication mode should be turned to mix mode form win authentication.
But from where. Have i missed some installation .I am able to connect to my other database from EMS.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance

Installation of SP2 in step "Feature Selection" shows SQLEXPRESS unchecked and can''t be edited/checked.
I tried it many times on different servers with different OSes, etc
Does it mean that SP2 for Expres Edition should be downloaded and applieŠ² separately?

Hello,I am just getting reaquainted with programming and all. I work in GIS mapping and am having diffilculty using a ASP.net internet Map site and adding records to a needed database.I would like to be able to add records to a linked SQLExpress table when the user clicks on a map location. I adapted the following code snippet from an example that does what I would like only using an .mdb file.CODE: // create connection to database var connection; connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); connection.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=OutdoorsExp;Data Source=NOLOGOSQLEXPRESS;"); status = "Can't access 'FishSQL' table."; // create recordset var recordset; recordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"); recordset.CursorType = 1 recordset.LockType = 3; recordset.Open("dbo.FishTable", connection); status = "Can't append new record."; // append record for clicked location recordset.AddNew(); recordset.Fields("LongitudeI").Value = xco; recordset.Fields("LatitudeI").Value = yco; recordset.Update(); recordset.Close(); // release the .mdb file connection.Close();However, this does not add anything to the SQLEx table. What am I missing? I am thinking that it might have something to with the primary key.I had a table with way more columns then just lat/longs (as above) but only coded it to add data to the latitude and longitude fields. Nothing got added of course. Would have to add data to every field that doesnt allow nulls.How do I generate a random, unique ID for a primary key on the fly and for example add it to the appropriate column.Thanks you in adavnce for any insights.

To be as brief as possible:I had Visual Studio 2005 installed with SQLExpress 2005. worked reallll good :) I needed to convert an excell spreadsheet to SQL, so I migrated it to Access. Then the upsizing wizard would not/could not create an sql table with the data. Just would not take the data when the table was created. Argh.FINALLY figured out that the SQLexpress 2005 doesn't come with import/export.So I uninstalled the sqlexpress and installed SQL 2000 - Developer. Veeola, able to convert and created the table I needed.Now Visual Studio 2005 won't let me touch the sql file, says it requires sql server express 2005.My ISP does not support SQL 2005 yet. Is there anyway to get Visual Studio 2005 to work with SQL 2000 (only?)If I install SQLExpress over again, will it create problems when I go to publish my website, and more importantly right now, will anything bad happen when I reinstall sql express, or do I need to uninstall SQL 2000 first? Thanks...

** For those 20 users (or fewer) who've read http://forums.asp.net/thread/1692306.aspx, I'm sorry that I ask the same question.Like I said above, what is the limitation of SQLEXPRESS, in terms of performance and scability?I'm creating a new webboard application that will replace the old one. I intend it to handle 200 concurrent users + 70000 records (9 years of data)The current system use Microsoft Access, which is reaching it's limit in performance and size. I took a look in the SQL Server product information page : http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx.It didn't tell me what I want, like how many connections it can handle, for example.If there are limitations that might cause my application to not reach the required specification (above), I may need to switch to MySQL. I've no intention buying a licensed SQL Server 2005.Thanks in advance.PS: Why there're so few users viewing my posts? Anyone know a more active forum that may help me?

Ok it seems to me that if you use the ms recommended code to connect your apps using the app_data folder etc, that the dbs never show up in the SQLExpress manager.So I can't back them up like I can databases I connect to SQLExpress the 'old fashioned way'. Only 2 out of 6 dbs are visible in SQLExpress manager.What is the proper way to do this?Thanks,Jamey

1. Is there a white paper on how to upgrade an SQLExpress DataFile to a SQLServer attached database?
2. More importantly: Is there a way to upgrade a Beta 2 SqlExpress database to a RTM version? This lack of compatibility between beta 2 and RTM is killing me. Are their any resources for this transformation? Would be great!

I know this isn't exactly SQL help, but I alwasy get great help here and thought someone might know why I'm having problems. I'm trying to map to a drive where I have a SQLExpress database on another computer within a workgroup. This is the cmd line I'm using...
NET USE * \XPPRO1SQLExpress /USER:Admin /SAVECRED /PERSISTENT: YES
I'm thinking the problem is with the * (which names the new drive with the next available letter), or that I have to use a password. Everything I've found says nothing about specifying a password though.
The error message I get says "A command was used with conflicting switches."

I just reinstalled SQLExpress and all the dbs that I created are no more linked. The files still exist in the folder where the current version stores dbs (...Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData) but they are not "linked" (don't know the right term).
Is there anybody who could help me how to "relink" these dbs to the actual .SQLExpress instance?
Thank you very much for any help!

Hello,
I have finish building my ASP.NET site using VS 2005 and it compile just fine. Than I try hosting it to the web via IIS v5.1 and I am getting permission error from SQL express.
I have posted a detail question in experts-exchange.com and since you need a user account to even view the thread, I have taken the liberty to save the thread as .html file and host it to my ISP site. You can see the detail problem I am having here: http://users.accesscomm.ca/mm/EEdetail.html
I am going to list out some stuff I have done:
1. I have two database that need access, the ASPNETDB.mdf for user login and another database (PhotoDataBase.mdf) to store information relating to the photo I uploaded to my ASP.NET site.
2. I have already follow this How to site: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx and setup:
- TCP/IP enable, as shown here:
- I have started SQL Browser service
- The firewall part I am not so sure about. I am currently using Zonealarm....
3. I have installed SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) and attach the two database to it.
4. I have set SSMSE server properties to accept both SQL and window authentication.
5. I have made sure that both database "read only" setting to false
6. I have setup SQL login with User ID = SQLLOGIN
Here is the original connection in web.config:
<add name="ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|Da
taDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and here is the new connection I just type in web.config that replace the original one:
<add name="ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf; Server=MINGDESKTOP; Integrated Security=False; uid=SQLLOGIN; Password=XXXXXX;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and the error i get are the follow:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I am a novice at working w/SQL and am trying to learn on my own... I download SQLExpress and installed it. However, I received a warning message that Internet Information Systems was not installed or enabled. I checked cpanel and it was not there. Figured out that I needed to check the windows components and attempted to enable it. I was asked for my XP Pro discs (which I can't find of course) in order to load admxprox.dll. How can I get a copy of that file so I can move forward???

Hi, Mike, et al,
First of all, I am a self taught programmer, and a Sql Neophyte, and know just enough to get confused (or in trouble). I have a TabletPC app that uses SqlExpress, installing as 'Click Once'. Works great on XP, but my app comes to a screeching halt on Vista, because of the permissions/contact network administrator issue. I read Mike's post (dated a year ago, Oct 06) about using SSMSE to create a new Login with sysadmin rights for the current user. Long story short, completed it successfully, but it didn't work.
I have been browsing posts here on the subject, but I am confused. Does my Vista user need to install SP2? Will that fix the problem? I am sorry, but some of the posts on this subject are over my head.
Could I prevail on one of the moderators to point me in the right direction, or to explain in v-e-r-y b-a-s-i-c terms what I need to do to help my Vista users access my SqlExpress DB?
Many thanks!
Steve

I had sql express and microsoft express accounting working fine on xp. When I updated to vista and reinstalled sqlexpress with sp1 and management express sp1, I can not get the server to register. Any command I click gives error message "this type of initializer <module> threw and exception". Also when I tried to install accounting from office 2007 cd, will not install giving same message. Ihave uninstalled and reinstalled sql express w sp1 several times with no success. I can find no reference to this error message anywhere. Anybody got an idea where I can do to get this to work properly? Thanks in advance.
