I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

I updated a windows application. It runs great on my development box.

Thanks in advance. What is maximum SQL Server database (*.mdf) file size with SQL Server 2000 as part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000? (Database files were limited to 10 GB in SBS 4.5 with SQLServer 7.0... has this changed?).
Hello everybody I wrote a vb.net win app that uses a mssql 2005 express DB. On my localcomputer everything worked without a problem. Now I wish to deploy my app on a remote computer (that has mssql 2005 express installed), so. I added an app setup project to my project using the vs2005 setup tool, installed the app on the remote computer, and copied the mdf file to the remote computer. I'm able to see the DB through the remote computer mssql manager, But when I try to start the app on the remote computer I get this error massage : A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) my connectionstring (in the config file) looks like that : <connectionStrings> <add name="Info_Manager.My.MySettings.MaxinetConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=DOTAN-XPSQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> <add name="Info_Manager.My.MySettings.MaxinetConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=DOTAN-XPSQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> by the way changing the user instance attribute to "false" didn't help. Does anybody know how to fix this problem.
Every time i reboot my NT Server and the SQL server service starts up. It logs this message to the event Viewer
Severity: 9 Error:10004, OS: 11001 Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. General network error. Check your documentation.ConnectionOpen (gethostbyname()()).
I don`t have any problem with the databases, all the users are able to connect to server and database without any problems, looks like everything is working at its best. But i am little concerned about this error message.
Everything has been working fine our SQL Server (lets call it Server A) (v2000 under NT 4), however sometime over the weekend it is unable to connect to one of our other SQL Servers (Server B).
In the Event Viewer I found this error: SuperSocket info: Failed to get Exclusive port use(MSAFD Tcpip (TCP/IP)): Error 10013.
Everything on this server appears to be working fine, as in everything can connect to Sever A that needs to, but Server B can't connect to A, nor is it working the other way.
Also, Server A SQL Services run on port 2006, and B is on the standard 1433. Everything has been working with this up until today?
Let me start by saying that, yes we know v6.5 is no longer supported byMicrosoft and that moving to SQL2000 might resolve our problem.Actually the migration to SQL2000 is 1 to 2 months out and in the QAphase now. Unfortunately we need to resolve the current 6.5 issue nowas it heavily impacts a major revenue stream for the company with everyoutage we encounter.The Problem:At least once every 24 hours the SQL Server begins disallowing new userconnections. When this happens the 2 CPUs begin to thrash. About 5minutes later the error log begins to print out the following errormessage: "Unable to connect. The maximum number of '500' configured userconnections are already connected. System Administrator can configure toa higher value with sp_configure." No new connections can be made to theserver; however, the existing connections continue to function normally.We never see anywhere near 500 user connections in the system (it tendsto average around 350 connections). If we begin to disconnect users theserver continues reporting that the maximum number of users isconnected. Eventually running queries thru an open connection will hangand we have to resort to a hard reboot of the server as neither SQLServer will not shutdown nor will the operating system.The Server:Compaq Proliant DL380 with dual 863 MHz. processors (x86 Family 6 Model8 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel), 917,020 KB of physical memory, MicrosoftWindows 2000 Server (Version 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195), TotalVirtual Memory 3,138,688 KB, Page File Space 2,221,668 KBSQL Server:Microsoft SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.479 (Intel X86).

This doesnot pertain to our situation.

I am using MS VB 2005 Express to connect to a DB created in SQL 2005 Express and have not been able to make a connection. I am including answers to questions along with screen shots where it would make it clear, hope they come through. I f anyone has any ideas on what I have not done, or what I have incorrectly done, please let me know. I notice in the log that the database I am trying to connecto to does not show up as started. I don't understand why is doesn't show up, and I don't understand what I would need to do to start it.

I am unable to connect SQL Server Management Studio to any of the databases on my computer. At this stage I am simply starting the Management Studio and asking it to connect to a database I made a few months ago before this connection trouble arose. I'm specifying the server name "BENCHLAP" which is the name of My Computer, using Windows Authentication. The error I get is: 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) The client is local. At least, it is if I understand correctly - the instance of SQL Server is installed on the same machine as the instance of IIS that I intend to use to test my web applications after we have resolved this issue, and the same machine as the one I shall use to view the application on. I can ping the server if i type "ping -a BENCHLAP". It is successful I think it also connects via telnet ok as well, by typing "telnet BENCHLAP 135" All client protocols are enabled, as are the server protocols. Don't know if this is a security risk but I did it to try and solve the problem, to no avail. There are no aliases, according to the Configuration Manager.
The server itself is SQL Server Express 2005, runnning on Windows XP Professional. My anti virus software is AVG. I'm afraid I don't know anything more, and have been researching this error for quite some time now. Is anybody able to help me please? Ben
After several attempts to install SQL2005 I finally got Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio installed.But now I get the error below: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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)The sa account username/password are correct and don't work, windows authentication does not work, I have stopped/started all the services, I have all Protocols enabled correctly, I have my Firewall turned off. Is there anything else I can try? Anything!
