Does annybody know how I can chance de User Instance to True.
I don't mean chanching it in web.config but by the SQL Server 2005 configuration.
I try to add a database to my project but i get the following message.
Generating user instance in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instance enabled' to generate user instance.
Thanks for responding.

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-
Server Error in '/UKSD' Application.

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.
As a starter i tried to modify and translate the Personal Website Starters kit from the VS2005Team SDK.
When i'm working on the machine were it's installed , under debugging, all works great.
But when i try to develop from my laptop, via RDP on the develop machine, i've got this message and can not debug (connect to the SQLxpres Server)
Does anybody now a solution ??

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.
No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€śFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

HiI'm having no end of problems with Visual Web Developer and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a sample PowerShell script that allows me to verify that showplan is enabled for a user on a SQL Server 2012 instance. Haven't figured out how to code it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"
Just don't understand what permissions the db should have, does it need to match the SQL Express owner...
any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path.

Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

I'm database novice and would like to get confirmation or correction on my understanding of the difference between a user under a sql server instance vs a user in a sql server database. For example, a user can be added under Instance-->Security--Login and a user can be added under Instance-->Databases-->Database Name-->Security-->Users.
Is the difference that the login under the instance is used for logging into the database via management studio and the user under the database is for database access? Also, is one dependent on the other? So if I want to add a user to the database, they have to be added to the instance first?
I keep getting User Instance errors -

Hi
Im in a bit of a pickle due to a large amount of data in a table and the query Im running is taking a very long time, so Id like to get some advice from the guys here to see if it can be done another way.
Ok, so heres the background. I have a table, see desc below, that contains transaction data for a number of users. Each user may have more than one transaction. In each row the SEQUENCENUMBER column is populated with a timestamp for the transaction, so I was using this to get the latest. However there are over 1 million rows in the table and the query below has taken over 12 hours so far to run. Has anyone any ideas on how I can make life a little easier for myself here?
SQL Query
Code:
select user,recipient,sequencenumber from trans_database where user IN (select distinct(user) from trans_database)
order by sequencenumber desc limit 1;

Hello...
Is there any way to create a new database directly as a user instance. I guess this means creating a new mdf/ldf pair which is detached from the server after its created.
Thank you...
I was wondering whether anybody could confirm an assumption for me. The information on SQL Server Express talks a lot about its special "User Instance" mode and how it can help to simplify deployment because you can go back to just copying in a file to set up your database, and how this is great for dealing with limited user security environments. However, I have some questions surrounding whether or not this is really as great as it's cracked up to be -- I saw somewhere, for example, that made it sound like you have to be coding your application in .NET in order to use it; and it sounded like it pretty much gives the end user full access to their personal SQL Server instance, which I might not necessarily want from an application perspective. The assumption that I wanted to confirm was this€¦ Let's say that you're NOT using the "User Instance" mode. What do you then need to do in order to create the initial shell of your application database at deployment time? I was assuming that you end up having to have some sort of SQL script that does the database creation instead (including, I assume, assigning proper rights to tables to BUILTINUsers as necessary). Is that correct?

I have a requirement to connect to a user instance of sql express from a visual basic 6.0 project. I'm having trouble with my connection string.
I'm able to connect with my connection string to sql express:
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider= SQLOLEDB; Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=30"
and the get user instance name:
'Get the user instance name
strSQL = "SELECT owning_principal_name, instance_pipe_name From sys.dm_os_child_instances"
but don't know how to query the instance name. Currently, I am returning the user instance name in a function. My questions are:
1. Is there any parameter for the user instance name in the connection string?
2. To attach and detach, what providers are available?
3. Using the Provider=SQLNCLI, is the AttachDBFileName parameter optional if I supply the database?
4. What is best recommended practice for querying a user instance from application code in vb6?
5. Are there any articles that specifically describe how to query a user instance if the dbfilename path is dynamic?
Sorry if my questions are not clear. I'm new to microsoft programming (coming from Lotus/Domino)
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Basically I need to know how to detach a db from a user instance of SQL Express from inside a VS2005 windows forms application.
The application is project oriented and the design calls for each project to be stored in its own separate .mdf file. When the user wants to switch projects the application will detach the current database and attach a different one, containing the data for the desired project.
I have this working fine with the default (.SQLEXPRESS) db instance, but I am having a problem getting the code to work with a SQL Express user instance (also part of the specification).
I am using the SMO library to do the Detach, and this works fine with the default instance, but for the user instance I am unable to connect to the necessary (user) instance of the db server.
I have tried selecting the instance name from dm_os_child_instances on the default instance and using the dynamically generated instance name to create the Server object. I get a good instance name, but when I create the Server object, the connection fails. I have also tried issuing "sp_detach_db" on the user instance, but this fails because the db is in use.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
When I try to create a new DataBase (*.mdf) in Visual Studio 2005, I get an error " Unable to create user instance. This option has been disabled"
How should I overcome this issue?
Just when I think I have this stuff figured out, it bites me back everytime.
I'm
trying to deploy an mdf out to a different machine, and attached to it with local user instance. I connect without problem from my development
machine with a local user instance, which also has Express Manager resident,
and I can connect to a server instance without problem.
What I can't do is
copy the .mdf database over to another workstation, which has Sql Native
Client installed, and connect to the database using a local user
instance! I can connect to a server instance without problem from this
other workstation. Here's my connect string for local user instance
that works fine from my dev machine:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist
Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;Data
Source=.sqlexpress;AttachDBFileName=<full path_name and mdf
filename>;User Instance=true;
The error I get upon trying to connect with other stations is:
Error -2147467259
Database not found or cound not connect to database
I've
tried this every way I know how. I've copied the database from my dev
machine both with and without having detached the database from the
local instance. I've tried detaching from a server instance and copying
the file over. Nothing works, and I've done this before! What gives with this thing?

Is there a way to re-index a SQL Server Express User Instance? If I try to open the .mdf while the website is still running, I get a message stating that the file is in use. If I shut down the web service and open the .mdf, then restart the website, then the website cannot access the .mdf while I have it open in VStudio (reminds me a lot of Access).
In the past I tried to open a user instance with SQL Server Management Studio, but then it goofed up my user-instance...so I am hesitant to try that again. Is there any way to re-index?
Thanks!
Hi,
As per my understanding, if the user instance property is set to true for an express database then it is not multiuser/shared. A copy of the database is made for each user so he works on his private data. On the other hand, if user instance property is set to false then the express database is multiuser/shared. Thus different users will connect to the same instance of the database and changes by one user will be seen by the other users.
Now, if we use an express database with asp.net and our application is installed on IIS then it is mandatory for the express database to have the user instance property set to true. But we see that in this case when different users visit our website, the data they enter goes into the same common database, ie. all the users share the same common database, even though user instance is true for the express database.
Please shed some light to explain the correct functionality of the user instance property as related to the express database.

Hi,
I am using a logon control on my site that is supposed to display an erro message when user id or password is wrong. Instead, when I enter the wrong password, I get:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
when I trace the code, I see that the loginbutton_click event gets fired, it failes to validate the user id/password by checking DB, and sets the error label's text property to the error message and the dies with the above error message.
I appreciate your help.
