Any Compatibility Issues Between SQL 2005 Express And SQL 2005 Server
Apr 1, 2006
Hi All,
The IP company that host my site is installing SQL 2005 soon and I my building a web application with SQL 2005 Express. So the question is has anyone heard of any problems with uploading an 2005 express onto a sql 2005 server? I would like to find out now before I finish all of the work. Don't want to find out later that you can't run a sql 2005 express database on a sql 2005 server.
I am attempting to install SQL Express 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2000 Server computer. Can someone tell me if this version of SQL is compatible with this operating system? I am getting a warning that my system does not meet the minimum hardware requirements when attempting the install.
I have 512bm of memory (minimum requirement is 192), a PIII/866mhz processor (minimum requirement is a PIII/600mhz) and plenty od disk space. So is it the operating system that is causing this warning?
I also have the Windows Installer 3.1 as well as the Dot Net Framework 2.0 installed.
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
Are there any known issues with using RDO with SQL Server 2005?
My company is in the process of updating our SQL Server 7 database to SQL Server 2005. Most of our applications are several years old and written using RDO to access the database. I have since started the daunting task of updating all the applications to ADO, but it's only about a quarter of the way done. We need to update the database ASAP, but we cannot wait until all the applications have been updated to ADO.
While testing the applications (written in VB6) against the new SQL Server 2005 database, I have come across a problem with the RDO queries not returning the correct data. The query returns 4 records. In the SQL7, it properly shows 4 for RowCount and 4 records are present in the recordset (as seen by looping through the recordset using rs.MoveNext). In SQL2005, it properly shows 4 for RowCount, but looping through the recordset shows that the recordset only contains 1 record. The problem seems to be linked to a Left Join in the Query. (see below) Table1 has a column that has a RecID for Table2. In the case where the Table2RecID column in Table1 is 0, the row is just not added to the recordset even though it increments the RowCount.
Code:
SELECT * FROM Table1 As T1 LEFT JOIN Table2 As T2 On T1.Table2RecID = T2.RecID
I converted the query to ADO and it ran fine with no problems. The issue has something to do with SQL Server 2005 and RDO.
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
HiIm trying to connect Visual Basic Express 2005 to a remote SQL Server Express 2005. I cant find how i can do that in VB.net Express.In Web developer there are no problem to connect to a remote SQL server but i cant find it in VB.net Express. The XP with the SQL server that i want to connect to is on the local network. Greatful for help!
Hi Guys, I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]? ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
I want to choose between Windows Vista editions. Please help me I should go for Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Home Premium as I intend to install SQL Server 2005.
We have the following trace flags present in startup in SQL server 2000:
809 1204 3605 3913
Need to understand if these should be required in SQL Server 2005 + SP2 version. I have run the upgrade advisor tool which indcates that the behaviour of some flags has changed and some other TFs are no longer applicable. Hence, I want to know about the above mentioned TFs.
I am a newbie developing a web site. My local machine has sql 2005 standard edition on it. The host that I am trying to use only has sql 2005 64 bit version.
would I be able to do the use the same database between the two ( i.e. once my site is running at host, would I be able to download the database on my local machine, make changes to my site and then upload again on the hose without any glitches?). In addition, how about sql express doing the same with sql 2005 64 bit.
Hello All, I am in the process of upgrading my current database in SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. I have finished my analysis using the upgrade advisor and have found a lot of SPs having upgrade related issues. From what I estimate I think it will take around 3-4 weeks to resolve all of those issues. I wanted a quicker way to upgrade my database since we have very little time for the final release. The main reason for upgrade to 2005 was use of new features like Database Mirroring and/or peer to peer replication alongwith the Partitioning features and the new T-SQL enhancements.
The question I wanted to ask was does the compatibility level 80 of SQL Server 2005 supports these new features. From what I have read on the KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822400 is that mirroring is supported in any compatibility level, but there is no specific mention on the peer to peer thing. Also when I personally tried using the New Partitioning Features of 2005 on the database having compatibility 80, it worked fine. Also other features like SQLCLR and TRY...CATCH works fine. One thing I observed was that new T-SQL statements like PIVOT/UNPIVOT is not supported
It will be nice if someone can give out the entire list of features that will be supported in the compatibility Level 80 and also the list of the ones that are not supported.
If i have been using sql server 2005 express for developing my application and i decide to upgrade to sql server 2005 express with advanced services while still working on the same application, what will happen to my application's database. Can i be able to continue with my work with out any major regrets.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When i create a new database (using the "New Database" dialog) i cannot set the new database's compatibility level to "SQL Server 2005(90)" because this option is not in the "dropdown list". the only items shown are: "SQL Server 7.0(70)" and "SQL Server 2000(80)". I set the owner to "sa". How do i get "SQL Server 2005(90)" in my "compatibility level" drop down list? Is this an installation option that i missed? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Not sure if this gets fixed on a restart, but the Backward Compatibility upgrade/piece failed on service pack 1 install for SQL Server 2005. Here is the log output. Anyone experience this?

Hi, I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ? Thanks in advance.
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.
(1) Can I install visual studio 2008 without the 2005 express edition of SQL server? Will be any problems because I don't have express edition of SQL server? Do I need to install the express edition of SQL server as well?
(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?
We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I would like to know if anyone here has any information on how to change the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express which ships with Visual Studio 2005 to the new SQL 2005 Express SERVICE PACK 1?
I see a file under disc:vswcuSSESQLEXPR.exe I am wondering if changing that file with the new one from Microsoft Download Center will do it...
There's another file under that folder named sqlexpr32.exe I am wondering what it's for?

Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
" Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 "
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.
The program shortcut "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" seems to be mising from the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" Start menu added by the current Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Where is it? How to workaround?
I am trying to do Download details SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases (April 2006) -> GettingStartedWithSQLSamples.htm which says "a. Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, point to Visual Studio Tools, and then click Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt." but I can find no such command prompt within "Visual Studio Tools", only "Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger{, Configuration Wizard}".
What's wrong? How to fix or workaround? I'd install .NET SDK 2.0 to get it's Command Prompt but that's about 570MB merely for a command prompt!
Hi everyone,I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced Services from Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition but it took up so much space and resources on my computer that I didn't want to put it back on there. So I put the SQL Express on there and while the Management Studio application connects just fine, VS 2005 will not. Oddly enough, VS 2005 connected just fine to SQL 2005 Standard. I have enabled shared memory, named pipes and TCP/IP. I have set up SQL Express to accept remote connections on named pipes and TCP/IP. And I have tried running SQL Express as the Local System Account, as a Local Service and as a Network Service. Nothing. I have tried feeding the Server Name is the Data Connections dialog in Visual Studio my SQL Express instance as (local)/SQLEXPRESS, localhost/SQLEXPRESS, and {computername}/SQLEXPRESS where {computername} is the name of my local computer which SQL Express is (allegedly) running on. And I cannot get the list of databases on that server.There is probably something very simple that I have left out. Can anyone see what it is?Thanks!
Hello I'm having a problem with the server connection and my C# code. The code executes alright but no data is entered into the database behind it. I'm pasting the connection code over here as well. The sql commands are used in the code. I think I used the sql server mobile edition which is installed along with visual studio.net 2005. Anyone know what's wrong, and can help me out? Thanks in advance.public static void storeInDb(string trackName, string artist, string albumTitle, string year, string path, uint[] fp) { string connStr="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='"+path+"\Data\ACI.mdf';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr); conn.Open();string sql = "INSERT INTO Clip(Song, Artist, Album, Year) VALUES('" + trackName;sql = sql + "','" + artist + "','" + albumTitle + "','" + year + "')"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); sql="SELECT max(ClipID) FROM Clip"; cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);int id = Int32.Parse(cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString());for (int i = 0; i < fp.Length; i++) { sql="INSERT INTO Hash VALUES ("+id+","+(i+1)+","+(int)fp[i]+")";cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } conn.Close(); }
Hello, Thanks for reviewing my question. I have installed VisualStudio 2005 on a computer and would like to know if I can install SQL 2005 Server and replace the SQL Express version? Will VS recognize it? Many Thanks to the Experts Peter
I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
HI, My computer keeps trying to download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 and fails with the error code 0x2B22. It is a new computer running with Windows XP Pro.
I have spent hours searching the forums and the internet, but I can't find anything to help, or I don't understand the solutions or whether they relate to my computer. I don't know how to find out why the update is failing either.
I downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and some sample databases (incl. Adventureworks_data.mdf), but when I try to Add Connection in VS 2005 to point to this db and use the Test Connection button, it gives the error:
--------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- 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've tried setting the data source as either "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" or "Microsoft SQL Server", but get the same error.
Any tips on verifying SQL Srv Express is installed correctly? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
