I install the SQL 2005 Evaluation. I selected to install samples and documentation during the installation wizard. It finished successfully but I could not find the sample databases on the SQL Management Studio. Why?
Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
Im trying to use VB.net 2005 to write a sample app to access a DB. Are there any samples for this and any samples of how I go about making the DB in the first place?

Hi im a beginner in SQL. I installed SQL Server Express on my computer, but i didnt find any databases included. The institute where i go to learn SQL have plenty of databases, but students usually work on databases called AdventureWorks and GlobalToyz. I searched the web for these databases and found something but i still cant figure out what to do with it. So i was hoping if anybody could send me these databases with brief instructions on how to install it into SQL Server. Thanks in advance
I had installed the sample database " AdventureWorks ",but i couldn't find it in SQL Server Management Studio,and I noticed than it was installed into "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Samples" directory,but not "Microsoft SQL Server" directory,what can I do to find the datebase. I am a beginner,and learning sqlserver by using tutorials,someone help me? many many thanks.
This question is for SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, and SQL Server 2008.
I want to provide users a sample database with data and a database template which new databases created in an application will be based on. However, I don't want to use scripts to create database and other database objects and also don't want the data to be contained in other data store such as access database. I think about providing users with operating system files(mdf, ndf, log). My understanding is that database created thru attaching will follow the collation of the source. Is that a way to control the attaching so the database created thru attaching will follow the collation of the destination server?
If attaching is not a good way to handle my case, what are other possibilities?
hi, i learn by practice and i would like an asp code using c# that connects to sql database can retrives information from a table. can you please copy paste me some code or give me exact link a?
I need a database file for a bank with info like customers, transactions and other bank stuff etc. It is for a university assignment. basically I just need to analyse, mine the data etc the info in the database
I have looked on msdn but none of they're databases are for a banking scenario.
Does anyone know of a sample bank database anywhere or does someone have one they could give to me ?
to download AdventureWorksDB.msi. Once I save that to my local machine I run the install and it completes with no errors. Unfortunately, I can't see any of the data in SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm new to SQL Server Express so maybe its me, but I get the feeling that it was never added to the database. I'm still looking for SQLServerExpressSamplesOverview.htm to see if I am missing a step but I can't find it anywhere.
The install seems to have extracted database files but if I need to run some scripts by hand to create the database I don't know which order to run them in.
Hello, I am very new to SQL Server. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express from microsoft's website and installed it on Windows Vista. I have also downlaoded the sample databases like pubs, northwind from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=06616212-0356-46A0-8DA2-EEBC53A68034&displaylang=en and adventure works from the respective site. When i try to run the script of pubs and northwind, it generates error messages and it is as follows: Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'pubs'.

I think thess errors are mostly due to windows vista's new security features at the user level. However, I using my home computer and the admin privileges and in this case I shouldn't have any problem running it unless there's anything to be done on vista to work this. I'll appreciate if anyone helps me installing the sample files. Thanks in advance.
Regarding the code/db from the REAL project that just got released, I have no problem attaching the "REAL Sample V6" database, but the "REAL Warehouse Sample V6" database requires ENTERPRISE edition, because the default copy uses Partitioning (i.e. the PT version, although the document stated that the multi-table (MT) version is the default). I only have the STANDARD edition of SQL 2005, is there a workaround?

The sample application provided with Access Database Synchronizer fires a "A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT." exception on my WinCE 4.2 device.
I debugged it with VS2005 to see what was going on and found that the problem resides in the line:
m_connDesktop.Pull("MSysObjects","SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type=1 and flags=0",accessSysConnectString,RDATrackOption.TrackingOff,"Err_MSysObjects");
It seems that connection m_connDesktop is ok but calling Pull method fails.
I've verified that SSEvAccessSync service is started when ActiveSync detects device connection and that firewall rules are correctly updated.
Also, i verified my System.mdw and i discovered that there is no "MSysObjects" table (only MSysGroupList, MSysGroupMembers, MSysUserList and MSysUserMemberships queries are there).
Do you think the problem is there?
How can i solve it without damaging System.mdw?
I cannot figure out what's the purpose of this line of code, can you help me?
I'm working with the sample database called Adventure Works and I'm encountering data consistency issues : If I sum the TotalDue for one particular territory, for one particular time window from the Sales. SalesOrderHeader table and if I try to compare the result to the LastYearSales and YTDSales from the Sales.SalesTerritory table, I don't get the same number, whatever I try. So did I miss something ? How are the LastYearSales and YTDSales fields from Sales.SalesTerritory calculated ?

I downloaded the SR2 - major mistake Now I cannot get into the sample databases I have on my machine. I can attach to the Servers, but they have SR1 and now I guess if I would make changes from my SR2, then they will be screwed up.
My error when I try to log into my machine (adventure works) is:
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)

Is there any way to reverse SR2? Should I reinstall SQL 2005?
Hi all, Can anyone give me a ready-made sample script to display a search reslut from a database? My intention is to give a dynamic web page for the search in the BookStore website.

I have the BookID, Title, BookPicture, and the Description fields Thanking you in advance, Tomy
Hi I am developing a Smart Device App that will talk to a SSCE 2005 DB, but i am having some problems with the DB engine and communicating with it. I have the same problme on the device it's self and on the emulator.
If i copy a sdf file that i have crated using SQL Server Mangment studio on to the device the SQLCE App will not talk to it and i get the following error The Database file cannot be found Check the path to the database [,,,File name,,] Native error :25046
I get the same error if i connect it with code.
If i create the DB on the Device SQLCE reads it fine but i get the same error message when i try to get the app to connect to it.
also if i move a SDF file that i have created on the Device SQLCE gives me the error message.

Hi,I'm developing a desktop C# app that uses SQL Everywhere as an embedded database. I generated strongly typed DataSet and use that to populate a DataGrid on my app.When the app first loads, it populates the DataGrid with a line like this:
however, this time, the following exception was thrown:
The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File name = .\Inventories.sdf ]
Does anyone know what may be going on? I saw this article about a bug in VS 2005 when using strongly typed DataSets (http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/MobileDeveloper.DatabaseCannotBeFoundErrorInTypedDataset) but that doesn't seem to apply here.
The connection string is identical both times that line of code is called so I'm a bit baffled with what's going on.
I have a report that accepts a list in the filter and searches the data base for the items in the list. How do I get the result to include all items in the list even if they are not located in the database? Thanks.
