Hi I just installed MSDE over my Windows 2003 box and facing an small problem. I installed it with SQL security mode and also set a password for user "sa". Everything looks just fine using "osql" as it uses local address. But I can't connect to my server from another computer using VS.NET Server Explorer. It seems as MSDE is set to reject connections from outside by default. My question is how to enable it so I can connect using my "sa" account. Appreciate your help in advance.
Hello everybody and happy holidays to all. I'm new to C#, and I appologize for this basic question. I am trying to connect to an SQL database from a very short C# program, which I found on the Microsoft site, demonstrating this subject. Here is my setup: Windows 2000 Professional dotNET Framework 1.1 with sp1 installed MSDE 2000 Note: I do not own nor do I have Visual Studio.NET of any kind installed.
Now, here is what works: osql -E -S localhostvsdotnet 1> And I can create and populate a database, which I called mydb.
Now, in my simple C# demo program I have this line
SqlConnection mycon = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;database=mydb;trusted_connection=true");
And the program compiles OK using "csc" command. But when I run it, I get this message: Couldn't Open Connection to server=localhost;database=mydb;trusted_connection=true
Could anybody comment on what am I missing? Thanks.

Will any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
Trying to transfer databases from MSDE to SQL. When I use SQLEnterprise Manager - DTS - import or export, it works for the firstdatabase, but then fails for the others. I select the to and fromdatabases using DTS - Import - 'MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server',then select 'Copy objects and data between SQL Servers'. It failswith the generic error message: 'Copy objects failed', nothingfurther. I tried to just copy data, and it doesn't work totally. Ontwo databases, it said that it copied everything, but when I go inunder Enterprise manager, some of the tables are incomplete, i.e. nodata, table shows up in the list, but if you try to look at it, itsays that it is missing or empty. Also, one table was not evencopied. In the other two cases, I get errors, does not copy alltables. I get errors, like insert fails, but the column it referencesfor the table does not even exist in that table. Any suggestionswould be appreciated.
I am creating an install program and I'm wondering if there is a difference between SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000? Do they have different entries in the Registry?
From the documentation that I've read it seems as if they are one and the same.
However, if someone knows how to differentiate between them in the Registry it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm new to asp.net and databases and I'm currently working my way through SAMs Teach Yourself ASP.I am up to working with databases and have successfully installed MSDE using the sql2kdesksp3.exe file. However, when I try to create a new database through the web matrix project I get an 'unable to connect' error. I have tried removing and re-installing the database and I've also re-installed it using the latest file from the MS web site but I still get the same error. I've checked the obvious...that the msde service is running, password is correct, and that checks out ok.Has anyone had a similar problem and resolved it?Thanks.
Hi- I am hoping someone can help me or shed some light on an issue I am having. I have recently moved to a dedicated server with MSDE installed on it. The server was installed as the default instance and I changed the password to the SA account. I then copied my entire SA database over to the new MSDE database and everything was working good so it seemed. I believe at some point during copying of the data, or after installalling an application the SA account begain to fail and the password was changed. I have no idea how this happened, and better yet when I tried to change it logged in as the administrator with OSQL it told me I did not have sysadmin rights (I tried multiple Windows NT Auth logins and still got this error trying to change the password). So... I reinstalled MSDE and created a named instane. I then attached the mdf/ldf files to my named instance and am able to connect ok from a .NET application directly to my new MSDE Named Instance database. Sounds like everything is great right? Not really, I can't figure out how to connect through enterprise manager and its driving me CRAZY! 1. I CAN connect via any .NET app and a connection string 2. I CAN connect via the server with OSQL 3. I CAN connect via the web based enterprise manager (which is very limited and a freeware ASP app). 4. I CANNOT connect via enterprise manager. I have verified from the (SVRNETCN.EXE utility) that the port is open and have tried connecting to MY_IPADDRESSNAMEDINSTANCE but no luck. One additional side note, when I wasn't using a named instance I had no problems connecting through enterprise manager to my default MSDE instance. Any help would be grealy appriciated, this is driving me nuts! -Chad
WSUS is installed on my windows 2003 server. During the install, parameter DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS was not specified, and so no remote connection was possible.
I used SVRNETCN.exe to enable TCP/IP remote connection on port 1433. However it seems not to work.
FROM THE SERVER :
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS works fine but
osql -E -S 127.0.0.1WSUS doesn't work, i get the famous error
[DBNETLIB]Serveur SQL spécifié non trouvé. [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
If i user "osql -L" command, my instance doesn't appear in the list
FROM A CLIENT COMPUTER
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS and
osql -E -S MY_SERVER_IPWSUS don't work, i get the same error
I've tried tried to understand for hours, and i'm lost. I thought there may be a problem between SQL and 2003, and read SQL sp3a was required. I ran
select @@version from osql and got result
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.881 (Intel X86)
8.00.881 is not referenced in ms support as a patched version number !!!!!
I am about to setup an application server. This app will generate reports and instead of just having a HTML page up, I am considering running dotnetnuke type portal to offer the userbase a better interface for the reports, info, announcement, etc.
Server isn't too bad (2x1.7Ghz Xeon I think, 2GIG RAM) type of setup (may be little more or less). App doesn't require as much resources, but we are planning for the future )
While I have some resource to play with, I also need to make sure I don't load much that may impact the application performance. In my experience, SQL Server 2000 will take a lot of resources even when not used as much. So I am considering MSDE.
I am curious however, WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SQL 2000 Server Vs MSDE 2000 ?
Beside no Client tool and mostly command line specific command, what else there to convince that I should go for server vs desktop engine?
Now our company has Enterprise license for SQL, so I am not worried about the cost (well a little maybe), but mostly wondering about performance.
If you think of any reason why I go to SQL Server 2000 over MSDE, please let me. Otherwise, I think MSDE in this case is the appropriate RDBMS to go for.
Hi,i have SQL 2000 and 2005 on same machine(with different intance names,of course), my laptop - XP with SP2. The 2005 works fine but i can'tconnect on SQL 2000. All the the SQL services are started.Any idea? Have i to reinstall 2000?Tks,Lourival
Hello all, im new here and do not have no experience with sql. I am trying to install a tax software that I need to run my little business. When I install it gets to a popint that it asks me for my SQL server usernme and password. I remember doing this last year and I reinstalled MSDE and set up a username and password. I seem to not remember what I used, i tried all that I would have but can not get past that step. I remember adding some lines in the setup,ini file when I installed it last year. Now I can go ahead and reinstall it again and set up a new one, but will the uninstalling and reinstalling of MSDE affect my previous software from last year? Its the same software but I need this years installed. I have tried using sa as the username and a blank password, with a password and others that I have read up on, still cant log on. Keep getting worng credential screen. Is there a way to get that info, i doubt it or else it would not be secure, or can I just simply reinstall MSDE?
I'm trying to install this application but i get an errorSetup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs for more information.I'm running Windows XP SP2.Could my SP2 be causing me problems considering I successfully installed it previously.Many thanks
I am not sure if this is the right forum, I already had some one freakout on me in another forum about posting in the wrong place.
Anyway: I would like to upgrade a machine from SQL 7 to MSDE 2000. I would like to keep the existing database from Altiris Deployment solutions intact. Is this upgrade possible?
This is my first time using SQL. I installed MSDE 2000 on my desktop and after restarting my PC I see an icon in the startup area MSSQLServer with the server being my T-Tag #.
I am trying to upsize my Access DB to Sqlserver. I am still confused as to where does this server reside? How does this whole thing work?
Also, when I tried to upsize my db I got an overflow error.
I have a client that has a server running Windows 2000 Server. anothercompany has installed MSDE (version unknown) on this server. I need toinstall SQL 2000 on the same server. Will the two coexist peacefully?TiaCruznOz*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.
