How To Configure SQL Server Management Studio Express To Allow Doing Non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 From VB 2005 Express?
Hi all,
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Server Express, Management Studio Express, Visual Studio Standard, And An ASP.NET Page....
I believe I'm missing something as far as my configuration goes...I'm new to working with SQL server and the databinding I'm trying to do. I have an ASP.NET page that has a radio button list box which I have databound to a database served up by SQL Express I'm having a lot of problems with connections... I was going to enumerate the behavior under each configuration (local only, remote tcp/ip only, remote pipes only, remote both), but I've realized that it is just flaky. Sometimes I can connect to the db with SQL Studio express, sometimes not. Sometimes I can add new tables and edit tables, sometimes not. Sometimes I can create a new connection when trying to databind from within Visual Studio, and sometimes not (sometimes I can't even connect, other times, I can connect initially but when I build a query through the designer it then has problems). Lastly, sometimes the ASP.NET page works correctly and sometimes not. This all seems to be mostly independent of how I configure SQL Server as far as what kinds of connections are allowed. I thought there was a pattern, but as I tested it more rigorously I found there wasn't. What I would like to do is be connected to the same DB with Visual Studio and SQL Studio, edit the DB as I wish, databind to it, and test my ASP.NET page, all without needing to jump through a bunch of hoops (although right now I wouldn't even know what those hoops are...it's just a shot in the dark as to what will work). It's all quite maddening and any help would be appreciated.

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???
When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data. Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing). When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server. Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine? Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic? The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

How To Install Management Studio Express 2005 After VS2008 On Server 2008?

Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success. I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage: "Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation." Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS? Thanks.

SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 Suddenly Stops Working?
Hello, I am using SQL Server Express 2005 with VS2005. Initially, I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 along with SQL Server Management Studio Express, and then as and when Service packs released I have installed all of them. My current version is SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 and SP2 Update. I used this for about 15 days, then suddenly SQL Server Management Studio Stopped working! without any reason. When I try to run SSMSEE (Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition), hard disk light flickers for a while and then nothing. To rectify this problem, I tried to repair the installation of SSMSEE through Add/Remove program, it went off successfully and now, SSMSEE ran perfectly, BUT, as soon as I restarted the computer and when I tried to run SSMSEE, same problem started again i.e. hard disk light flicker for a while and then nothing! So, I uninstalled SQL Server Express Edition along with all its baggage, and reinstalled the same. Again SSMSEE ran perfectly until I restart the computer. As soon as I restart and try to run the SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO, it wont run. One more thing, only SSMSEE stops working , SQL Server is working perfectly. I am at my wits end. I can't understand what to do? Has anybody encountered this probelm? please help me?

SQL Server 2005 Express User Instance Madness
Hello, I'll try to make the description of this multi-problem scenario as short and sweet as possible. First Problem The default named instance of "SQLEXPRESS" was somehow installed on my machine and nothing can get rid of it. However, it is somehow invisible to everything else on my system, so I can't use it. How do I get rid of the instance or repair it? Second problem I installed another instance of the SQL Server 2005 Express and named it, "SQLEXPRESS02". I attached a database to it and successfully retrieved data from it using an application that used the following connection string: Data Source=(local)sqlexpress02;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True Next, I tried to use a different application to retrieve data from a copy of the same database located in a different directory and used the same connection string as that shown above. When I do this, I receive an error message similar to the following: Database 'C:PathToMyOriginalProjectinDebugMyDatabase.mdf' already exists. Choose a different database name. Cannot attach the file 'C:PathToMyNewProjectinDebugMyDatabase.mdf' as database 'MyDatabase'. I then tried, out of curiosity, to change the Initial Catalog portion of the connection string to "MyDatabase2" and attempt the data retrieval again. The connection string looked like this: Data Source=(local)sqlexpress02;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase2;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True Interestingly enough, it worked. However, when I switched back to the original connection string, I got the same error message as before. What's going on here? I thought that one of the virtues of user instances was that they would attach at run-time, then disconnect when the application was through with them. If that's the case, then why am I getting errors stating that a database of the same name is already attached? Is there a way to detach these databases from a user instance? Can it be done by some value in the connection string? Thank you in advance for your help.

SQL Server Express 2005 - How To Delete/drop A User Instance
Hi, I have been working around with SQL Server Express 2005 on VISTA. I created a small C++2008 application which interface with SSE 2005. When running my application, it automatically created a user instance which I would like to get rid of. I just forgot from start to set "User Instance = False" in my connectionstring. (oups...) I'm aware, from readings I did, that a couple of tables as well as log files, etc. are created under directory "utilisateurs...AppDataLocalMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS". SQLEXPRESS is the instance name chosen during install of SSE2005. Also using following SQL Statement: select owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name, heart_beat from sys.dm_os_child_instances I got following result: owning_principal_name: PC-DE-STEPHANEStéphane instance_pipe_name: \.pipe6172F4E8-622E-4A sqlquery heart_beat: dead (at this moment...) ==> How can I make a good cleanup of all this as well as get rid of the user instance itself? Thanks in advance for any help. Stéphane

SQL EXPRESS And SQL Server Management Studio Express
Apologies if this has been answered already... 1. How or can I enter data manually into a database using management studio express? 2. How or can I 'dump' either a table or the entire database in order to populate a different database or table? Basically I need to test locally with IIS, and then go with a web host that supports asp.net... Thanks...

SQL Database User Account Access Remotely Via SQL Management Studio Express
Hi, I hope you can help.I have configured a Windows 2003 web server and SQL 2005 Server (on same box) to successfully allow remote connections and to allow access via SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.The problem I have is that I want to restrict access to the databases on the server via the Management Studio to specific databases e.g. 1 database user "sees" only 1 database.I can configure it so that the user's remote access permissions do not allow access to other databases but they can still "see" the database listed in the Management Studio explorer.I can also configure it so that the users cannot see all the databases (by disabling View All Databases on SQL Server), but this means that they cannot not see their own database which they have permissions for.Is it impossible to have the desired behaviour of only displaying the database which the remote user accessing has permissions for and hiding all other databases?I have MSN'd,Googled and Yahoo'd this one to no avail :(Many thanksFergus

SQL Server Management Studio Express: User Instances Listed/founded In SSEUtil - How They Got In And Stay In SSEUtil?
I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute: C:SSEUtil>SSEUtil -l I got the following: 1. master 2. tempdb 3. model1 4. msdb 5. 56713D4D965AE4455_TSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSMYFIRSTAPPSSE-VBEXPRESS-WINDOWSAPPLICATION1BINDEBUGMYDB1.MDF 6.

Please explain this thing for me. Thanks, Scott Chang

Cannot Log Into SQL Server Database In Visual C# Express After Using SQL Server Management Studio Express
Is anyone else having the same annoying problem as me? ... I have a SQL Server Express edition database using Windows login authentication. Normally I can access it fine in C# Express, but If I have used SQL Server management Studio express in the same windows login session, i get: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'mydomainmyuserid' If I restart my PC, I can then access the database in Visual C# express. I'm running Windows XP. Thanks!

Hi, I am very new to SQL Compact. I am trying to create one database which can work on the desktop application and also on a pda application.

Are The Databases Created Within VWD Express Accessible By Aspnet_regsql.exe Or Management Studio Express?
Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

Visual Studio Database File And SQL Server Management Studio Express Question
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

SQL Server Management Express Studio Management Tools
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

Installing Sql 2005 Management Studio Express On 2nd Hard Drive
Hi, I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive. I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room. Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening. Thanks John

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server. I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah. Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that? Thanks in advance for any input.
