SQL Server Express: Can Someone Provide The Guide MS Does Not?
Mar 30, 2007
The overly complex MSDN library is proving virtually useless to me. To give you some background, I've programmed PHP / MYSQL websites, in-depth VBA programs for Excel and a bit of non-database work in various languages - I'm an amateur.
I've just bought a new PC (2g Ram, Core 2 Duo, Vista Home Basic) and would like to run Web Developer Exp, VB Exp and SQL Server 05 Exp.
Note. I have installed all three and run through Microsoft's video tutorial, until I hit a snag at the start of Tutorial 2. When try to create a new SQL Database in WebDev, an error saying either SQL Server is not installed or operating correctly (could Microsoft provide a more specific error or what????)
The questions Microsoft need to answer are:
1. What are the hardware requirements for SQL Server 05?
2. What are the operating system requirements for SQL Server 05?
3. What does IIS have to do with SQL Server 05?
4. How do you know if you meet the IIS requirements for running SQL Server 05?
5. Exactly what elements of SQL Server 05 are affected by different levels of IIS?
6. Can anti-virus or firewall software cause issues.
I'm the project lead for SQL Server Express in Microsoft (as well as owning the Storage Engine). I'm going to make sure that threads on this forum get answered - I see a bunch with no answer so far.
Now to the point - we’re in the process of assessing the content that exists to help people learn and use SQL Server Express. This includes demos, tutorials, whitepapers, Webcasts, Starter Kits, and any other type of content you could imagine. So this is a great chance to TELL US WHAT YOU WANT! We’ll integrate your feedback and make sure that we try and address the most requested areas of content. Please be as specific as you can.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

This is the first time I am using SQL Server 7.0 on a bussiness machine, I need to apply password on the database, OS is windows XP professional, need u r help on this.
I have a database that stores the information of a third party system. The system where the database is running has reached its performance and hardware upgrade limits. I don€™t want to separate the database objects in two different database servers. How can I add a second server to increase performance? A cluster will help me in this case? Or there is any other way to group servers for performance?
Would please any here give me any advices for where can I find the SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Installation Guide? The one I found online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx) is just confused me, which is just about the installation of SQL Server 2005 different version.
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: Named Pipes Provider,
Hi,I have SQL Server Express Edition. I tried working out some ASP.NET Labs in my local system. Here is the link of the Virtual Lab which I tried. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032286906&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=USI recieve this error in my local system. 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)I tried working out solutions from various websites. But the no solution is effective. Could anyone help me in solving this issue.
In sp_create_plan_guide documentation, it's written:
When SQL Server matches the value of statement_text to batch_text and @parameter_name data_type [,...n ], or if @type = 'OBJECT', to the text of the corresponding query inside object_name, the following string elements are not considered:
White space characters (tabs, spaces, carriage returns, or line feeds) inside the string. Comments (-- or /* */). Trailing semicolons
On SQL Server 2008 SP3, I created a plan guide for a query. Now, if I execute the query exactly how it was defined in the plan guide, SQL Server match it and use the plan guide to optimize the query.
However, if I add just a space between a column name and an operator in the WHERE clause, the plan guide is ignored. How come it doesn't ignore the extra space, like mentioned in the documentation?
Why don't you folks (SQL SERVER Management Studio Team or SQL SERVER Database Engine Team) provide an option by using which I would be in a position to know what all the other objects are depended on a selected object and vice versa. That means:
When I select a Table within the SQL SERVER Management Studio if there is an option for understanding "Which all the objects (tables or views) it is depended on (I mean Foreign key and etc... kind of relations) and also Which all the objects (Tables, Views, Stored Procedures and etc...) are using this table", It would be of great help for all developers.
Hi! I am a beginner doing ETL processes, searching for a step by step detailed guide. Actually I could not map the columns, getting errormessages, and moreover I need to add sql.
I have "played" with DTS packages but I am now trying to do the following in an ActiveX VB script
Open a connection to database/table <---- Can't find how to do this! Read a record from the table Alter the content based on some rules Post the record back to the table
Simple eh? If anyone has any examples or can point me to a good source of examples.
I've gone through the Microsoft press study material for Exam 70-229. It is okay but not really comprehensive. I'd appreciate any supporting book that deals with the exam topics inside out... And info on any site which offers good practise exams is also appreciated.
Dear All, please provide me the complete installation guide links like on which operating system, which version can install like that... i've searched in google, but i'm not satisfied. please provide the link from experts side....
thank you very much

Some of my customers ask for backup their databases, mainly MSSQL & MS Exchange. I search for any of backup vendor; there are 2 choices, service provider and software publisher. Service provider eliminates my technical support on backing up my clients databases:cool: ; software publisher offer a chance for me to create new business line:rolleyes: . What would your gurus prefer and why? Any admirable company you can name?

I need some links which guide datetime in sql statement !! Such as : I have a datetime column in my table , I need to calculate the total orders in the today, or yesterday ... Any one know ? Thank you very much .
I have never applied a service pack to sql server 2000. Someone tells me that you have an option of supplying the SA password but do not have to and the service pack is applied just as if you did supply the SA password. This sounds odd to me. So, is it true? I am asking because our server instance shows "SP4" but a fix that was supposed to be included in SP4 was apparently not as the problem persists (link from sql server 2005 to 2000 fails when referenced in sql2005). I was thinking that whoever ran the service pack may not have provided the SA password so some of the SP4 was not applied???
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "s-1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
