Creating Databases On WinXP SP2 With SQL Server 2005 CE RC
Nov 28, 2006
Hi,
For various reasons a new desktop application I am developing is using the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Release Candidate to store local data. On my development machine (XP SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition) the software is able to create the database file, and read and write to it fine.
However on our test machine, which does not have any of the development tools the software is unable to create the database. A System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException is thrown. The message is: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU." Obviously this goes somewhat against the blurb for SQL Server CE.
Is this something that will be fixed shortly? Or is it the intention that databases can't be created on machines that do not SQL Server or Visual Studio installed? (Incidentally the reason for creating the database on the fly is that we are encrypting it, using the users credentials, so that only they can open the database.)
I am having a problem with creating databases in MS SQL 2005 Server. When I attempt to assign an User Mapping for my SQL user account to the newly created database, the "dbo" user and schema is already assigned. When I try to drop this user in favor of my own, I receive an error message: Cannot alter the user "dbo" (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15150). I am connected to my database engine through the "sa" account.
I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

I'd be interested in knowing how VS doesn't allow you to create a database. What error are you getting? There are two ways to create databases, depending on your goal:
To just create a database on your server, do the following:
Open the Server Explorer Right-click on Data Connections Click Create New SQL Server Database Specify Server Name and Database Name
Your database will be created and you can start working with it.
Embed a database in your project:
On the Project menu, click Add New Item. Select SQL Database from the list and give it a name. Click OK
This will run you thorugh a wizard to create the database. If your having problems doing either of these, you may not have SQL Server installed on your computer or VS might be pointing to the wrong Instance Name. Check out the Option dialog under Database Tools:ata Connection and verify that the correct instance is specified.
I am trying to create a similar project and I also recieve an error while trying to create a database...
"An error has occured 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could Not Open A Connection to SQL Server."
Now let me explain what i am trying to do ... I am trying to create a web interface for the data that I want to store in the SQL database. I have installed VS2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. I want to develope this project on my local machine and then transfer it to a server once i have finished the project.
If i am doing this all wrong, please let me know !
OK I think I am missing something here. I have installed the newly released SQL Compact Edition, Server Tools, and Tools for VS SP1. According to the documentation you can do the following to create a SQL Compact Edition DB:
Creating a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer.
In Object Explorer, click Connect, and then choose SQL Server Compact Edition.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, select <New Database€¦> from the Database file drop-down list.
In the Create New SQL Server Compact Edition Database dialog box, type a file path and file name for the new database file. You can optionally select the default sort order and choose whether you want to encrypt or password-protect the database. If you choose to encrypt or password-protect the database, type a password, and then click OK.
Click Connect to connect to the new SQL Server Compact Edition database. The database is now displayed in Object Explorer.
I see no reference to or any option to create or connect to a SQL Server Compact Edition database in SQL Mgmt Studio. I had SQL 2005 Mobile installed previously and this still shows as an option. What I am missing here? Is SQL Mobile now SQL Compact Editon?
I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.
I have SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition already installed. Before starting the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup, I exited the SQL server agent running in my system tray.
I am logged on as Administrator and no other desktop apps are running. SQL Server 2005 Setup reports several "Setup failed." error messages after the install. I am choosing (for now) ONLY the workstation tools and books online check mark. The installation presents a screen that says that these products were successfully installed ("Setup finished"): - MSXML6 - OWC11 - SQL Server Backward-Compatibility Files However, these items have a red x next to them: - SQL Server Books Online - SQL Server Support Files - SQLXML4 - SQL Native Client - Workstation Components, Books Online, ...
My Setup log file terminates with a few messages--one of which contains the words "Configuration failed." (This is the ONLY mention of the word "fail" in the Setup log--see the excerpt below.)
Any ideas??? I'm stuck without SQL Server 2005 running so this is a productivity killer for me.
More info: Here is what I have done, to no avail:
1) Installed the OWC11 components using a direct download from Microsoft. That install worked. But when it runs again from the SQL Server 2005 DVD, it fails. 2) Logged on not as a user with Admin rights, but as ADMINISTRATOR. Same results--the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup failed. 3) Installed SQL Server 2005 Express successfully. Afterwards, tried again to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, and that setup failed. 4) Cleared registry values for SQL Server 2005 under HKLM.../Software as described in KB article. Also deleted the installation folder ...90. Tried again to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, and that setup failed. 5) Tried the 180-day trial of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise--to no avail. Same results.
Found error logs but they did not help me pinpoint the root cause for the failed installation.
Thank you, -- Jonathan

I am attempting to install the Standard edition on a WinXP pro laptop that apparently had this installed before I got it. I Removed, thru Add/Remove, everything related to SQL Server. When I tried to do a fresh install of DB Services, Integration Services and Client tools, Setup Support and the Native Client seems to install ok, the directories get created and some files are put there. The installer stops and sez that the Databases Services and the Workstation Components are already installed, the Details button tells me that the only available option are thru the Add/Remove Programs. There are no entries for the Server or Client Tools on Add/Remove's list.
When I try to start the server it fails with "can't find the Path" reported in an Error Event, likewise I can't start the Management Studio because it can't find a file.
I think that I need to clean everything out to reinstall. I think that the Services are left over from the previous owner. Any suggestions???
I'm having some problems writing T-sql statement in visual studio 2005 because i cant find either the query analyzer or enterprise manager in the version of sql server installed. Please kindly put me through that or do i need to create the database outside visual studio. Please will be greatful for this if u can help.
I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata" But I got no replies.
Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?
We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days. Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below. But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database. We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not. It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period. She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.
This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.
I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?
We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.
We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199402
I am try to install SQL Server 2000 on XP OS, but every time it showing only client version can be install to your current oprating system. Is there any patch or service pack to intstall SQL Server 2000 on XP SP2 based system?
Hi,Does anyone know if MS SQL Server 2000, will run stability on a WindowsXP based O/S, using one of the new Dual Core chips, or HT chips?Especially given that when you install it you get compatabilitywarnings?ThanksDavid
Hello, I have the JDE One World application installed on my computer which is XP PRO SP2. When I open Enterprise Manager, I can go to my local machine as a server, expand it, and see all the JDE databases. I can create a new database and connect to it. However, I cannot install SQL Server 2000 on other XP Pro machines. How can I do this? This is SQL Server 2000 STANDARD. Thank you.
I've got the error message when creating linked server and running the DTC across two database servers, ""Error 18452: Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
But, orginially, if the Server side is Win2000 Server with SQL Server 2000, everything is okay. When I migrate it to the Win2003Server platform, this thing happened.
I've also applied the following solution but it still doesn't work.

I am trying to create an asp.net website with integrated windows authentication to access SQL databases. IIS resides on WinXP and SQL Server on Win2000 SRV. Both are in the same NT Domain. IIS and SQL Server cannot reside on the same machine and a stand alone web server is ideal as the website needs to access multiple SQL Servers. IIS is set to Integrated Windows Authentication. The machine running IIS & the SQL Server are set to be "trusted for delegation" in active directory. The domain user accounts that will be accessing the databases are not marked as "Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated".
The connection string that the web app uses to connect to SQL database is:
with which the user credentials should be flown to the SQL database. But instead the delegation fails and results in the following ANONYMOUS authentication failure error:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.

Hello, How are you? I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
hi, I have an asp.net application which queries an sql server in some other domain and populates a grid with the results. i am using sql server authentication and my connection string is as follows:- Dim connectionString As String = "server=emr01; user id='private'; password='private'; database='NGEMRDev'" i have also used the following tag in web.config:- <identity impersonate="true" /> This works fine on my development pc i.e windows xp with sp2 . but when i tried running the same application in windows 2003 the query gives the following exception:-

Please help me as to how do i successfully implement my application in the windows 2003 server. i have given the aspnet user on the win2003 admin rights.
Ok I have the Sql all written and I was going to use MYSql but it wasn't working. I was told that MSSQL worked with the files but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it. I installed the desktop version so it is running but now how do I create and edit databases and tables and so forth. Help is greatly apprieciated as the only other sql I have done is for php forums. Thanks and If you could tell me if I need to download another program to do it graphically or something that would be awesome.
EDIT: I am using Windows Server 2003 Enterprise if that makes any difference. ISS 6.0 (kind of understand some of it)
i am trying to create a database by using a store procedure. This stored procedure takes two input parameters. i want to assign these parameters to the 'Filename' attributes when i'm creating the database both for the .mdf and .ldf files. However i keep getting an error.
These work ------- FILENAME ='c:program filesmicrosoft sql servermssql$sardonyxinstancedataSardonyxrioctes tdblog.mdf',
These do'nt work-------- FILENAME = @Databasepath, FILENAME = @Databaselogpath,

I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express for an application.
SQL Server 2005 Express supports 4GB user data per database. Because need over 4GB(may be 20GB ~ 30GB) data space, I should split database which each max size up to 200 MB. And create 100 databases.
Is it reasonable? If true, what about the performance or system's overhead?

When I proposed start to use SQL Server 2005 for new VS 2005 web sites, one of my co-workers responded that we will update the old SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 when we are ready to use 2005 SQL Server.
Questions: 1. Any expected problems to upgrade old 2000 databases to new 2005 SQL Server? 2. I have installed both 2005/Management Studio Express and 2000/Enterprise Manager in my PC. Any expected problems when running both 2000 and 2005 SQL Server at the same database server? 3. What is the best configuration for running SQL Server 2005 when we have old 2000 databases? Upgade or not upgrade?
I have a reporting server with 5 databases which are currently being updated via log shipping. These databases need to be (read) accessed by the users. All users have System Admin perms due in order to access the databases. I need to tighten security on the server and remove SA perms from the users. The largest database is about 8gb and is growing slowly. What is the best way to move the databases efficiently from the source server to the reporting server? The log shipped databases can't be backed up and restored due to the standby mode. DTS is an option but may pose time issues due to database size especially as the databases grow in the future. Replication is another option but i have heard it has alot of issues. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
Is this possible? I seem to remember doing it with SQL Server 7 a long time ago. The Microsoft Knowledgebase says it's not possible with 4.2 through 6.5, but nothing about 7.0 and up.
I want to be able to create a duplicate database and update / refresh it daily automatically. This database copy would be used for testing purposes so I don't want it to write back to the original database. Is replication of some kind the answer?
I got 2 SQL servers. One is legacy SQL 6.5 and the other one is SQL 2005. They are installed in different machine. How can I copy or migrate the old 6.5 version databases to SQL 2005 server?
Someone said I should upgrade the 6.5 to version 2000 first. Is it the only method? I didn't have SQL 2000 install cdrom and license. How can I do that?
Hello,If I have a database of 5 GB with only 20 tables in it, how many ofthose can we put in how many database servers on a high end machine(Dual Xeon 8 GB on windows 2003)?It is to maka a quotation and an estimation of the cost.TIAMario
