I've come from the asp world into .NET and I have looked all over the web for the proper way to make a database connection to a MSSQL server and all I have found is samples of connections to Access databases. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to create a db connection for microsoft sql server.thanks
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
i was planning to create a database migration tool .. its a certain database of a DMS (document management system) to another DMS (two different DMS)... from DMS using msde 2000 server .. and tranfer to a DMS using a postgre sql or mssql .. depends ..
they have different table structures and names . . :D
i was thing of what language shall i use.. or what language is the best to work on this kind of project :)
// Connect to DB $db_link = odbc_connect($dsn, $username, $password) or die('Error connecting to server. Server says: '.htmlspecialchars(odbc_errormsg()));
// Select Database mssql_select_db('training_dub') or die('Error connecting to Database. Server says: '.htmlspecialchars(odbc_errormsg()));
I am new to MSSQL but have some experience with MySQL. Now, I am trying to connect to a recently installed MSDE 2000 SP3 on my box, using dbManager Professional, (a 3rd party manager) but all attempts to connect have failed.
The first error message when I start dbM is:
Connection failed: SQLState: '42000' SQL Server Error: '18456' Login failed for user 'Administrator'
(There are no passwords assigned.)
There are successive error messages if I keep forcing the issue, with additional error indicators.
MSSQL is running and the .ini file contains these 2 lines:
BLANKSAPWD=1 SECURITYMODE=SQL
I have searched the web for solutions for all of the above messages, and implemented some logically sound advice, but these solutions, which worked for others, don't solve this problem for me.
The OS is XP Professional SP2 AMD 64 Sempron 1800+ 1GB of RAM.
HelloI've prepared a small aplication in VS.NET and I use SqlConnection class.Everything is ok, but when I'm trying to disconnect from server usingif (cnSQL->State != ConnectionState::Closed) cnSQL->Close()there is still connection do server present. I have to close connectionbecause I'm trying to drop this database.Have you ever heard about this kind of problem??Trociu--Plain-text over all!!!/**********/write me : trociu@autonom ict pwr wroc plsearch me : gg: 1382729
This works. But this is not exactly that what I wanted, because here just my Windows Authentication is used. I want to be able to pass username and password for users that are allowed to access the SQL Server. Here my first confusion begins: I have the option to pass the username and password into the connection string (User Id and Password) or I guess that I can pass them also as parameter 2 and parameter 3. But with trying both of these options I get always a connection error that my specified Username is not be trusted ( I don't know how the message looks in the English version, because I have the german version), but I suppose you know what I mean.
Of course I have to create such accounts in the SQL Server before trying to login with them. I guess that I made something wrong when doing this. I started the Server Manager Studio and there I navigated into the Object Explorer. In the folder Security I created a new account for testing (using SQL Server Authentication). But I cannot use that account for logging in.
I have to admit that I am very new to the SQL Server thing, so I hope someone can help me or can give me hints on what to do better. I am very thankful for every reply...
I've searched the forums and found posts stating that there is no connection governer in the 2005 edition, but I am getting connection limitation errors. I have Standard Edition with 25 CALs.
------ A problem occurred when attempting to contact the server (Server returned: Connection reset). Please ensure that the server parameters passed to the driver are correct and that the server is running. Also ensure that the maximum number of connections have not been exceeded for this server.
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Hi,I'm using sql server 2005 express edition. I have created a database using sql server management studio express edition. Now I'm trying to connect it in visual studio 2005. It show following error. An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connections to SQL 5erver 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact under the server's default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections, (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40- Could not open a connection to SQL Server) I have enables named pipes from Sql services configuration manager.
Im getting an error when i try to connect to my MS SQL database
0x80040e21 .... multiple-step ole db operation generated errors ....check each ole db status value
this code works connecting to database via web hosting, only things i changed was to replace the server with "(local)" [also tried ip no joy there either] and add integrated security to the connection string
ms sql server and IIS, personal web server all on same laptop, i can access the same database with same details no problem to login it gives up on the subsequent login
code (generally)
Set objconn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objconn.ConnectionString="SERVER=(local);Database=blah;uid=blah1;pwd=blah2;Integrated Security=true;"
i'm experiencing an extremely slow connection from a WXPP Sp2 client to a MSSQL2000 running on a W2k server. The client is running a VB6 application that connect with Windows authentication: every form requesting data opens with a long delay at the first launch; next attempts run normally fast.
In the same LAN there are some others identical clients, all running fine.
Every other network activity from that client is ok.
I am trying to make an ODBC connection to a MSSQL 2K server on a remote machine. I am using the SQL Server driver and can see the server in the drop down list when asked which server I would like to connect to. I am using SQL authentication over TCP/IP.
The error occurs when ODBC tries to connet to SQL server to obtain the default settings. The error I receive is as follows:
Connection Failed; sqlstate '28000'; sql server error: 18456; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'XXXX'
I have tried setting up alternate SQL Server users with varying security rights on the server but am not able to setup the ODBC connection.
I am setting the ODBC connection up on a windows XP SP2 machine. The remote server is running Windows server 2003 (patched upto date) and MS SQL server 2K (SP3). The connection is over a LAN and does not pass through any firewalls (hardware or software). I can create the ODBC connection without issue locally on the server.
This is my first time creating an ODBC connection to a Windows 2003 Server and I am wondering if there is some additional config I may have missed out.
i need a sql statment or procedure to kill all user connection to one database. And Deny new connection for a little time. So i can a restore this database from a dump.
I can this do only in exclusiv modus. without any other connection.
I am using MSSQL Server 2005 Express Studio and tryig to connetch to the remore server but does not work.
I get this error.
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.
Though I have read like child and made changes according to it.

Still says same error.
I am clueless how to do it.
Do any one know web based mssql editor where i can connect mssql?
Creating a web application. Running a simple query "SELECT username FROM vwCustomer"
vwCustomer is a view built on top of an Access DB which is set up as a linked server. Within SQL Server that view responds immediately. But when I try to access it from an ASP page it takes over 20 seconds to respond.
I've had a web service developed in PHP5 running on an Apache webserver for the last 9 months. It handles a lot of XML requests and stores/reads from an MSSQL Server 2005 DB (Express, if that matters).
Occasionally, I will come across the error 'Could not connect to database'. Refreshing the page works 99% of the time removes the error and the system continues as normal. I'd say this is happening about 1/100 requests at the moment, and my client is steadily becoming more irritated by it.
As far as I know, the system settings are mainly stock. It was set up by another developer.
I'm out of ideas with regards to debugging this problem. Can anybody shed some light, or some possible solutions?
While attempting to set up sql replication in MSSQL 2005 one of my user databases is now in the systems database folder. I need to move it back to the user databases folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have a Prinicipal, a Mirror and a Witness server. We have automatic failover configured between the Prinicipal and Mirrored server. When we stop MMSQL service on Prinicipal, not all the databases failover to the Mirrored instance. Any suggestions would be welcomed as we have a tight deadline to get this in Production.
I am new to ms SQL. I only have the use of the Enterprise Manager. Creating tables I understand. However I am confused on how to add data to a table or view the data in a table. Can this be done through Enterprise Manager? If I am adding a large amount of data do I have to use the query window. This seems like a tedious method. In Access yo have a form basically pop up where you can type in the record sets. Any advice would be appreciated! Sincerely, Bill Bequette
Would any body be able to suggest the best way switch a Lotus .nsf file to Ms SQL database or even to an Access?
I have a .nsh file that I am able to see the contents of but not the database structure, and rather then rebuilding the database and manually inserting the content I would like to import all the information from an old .nsf file that appears to have restriction on it.
I am very new to asp.net. I really mainly use PHP but want to migrate to asp.net, but it doesn't seem that easy.I am creating a page for peson to pay a subscription page where they will enter personal information an credit card information.I created the form for this with validation controls.I don't know however how to write the form data to the mssql database.I am using mssql 2005, but i would need a work out for the 2000 version as well.
Hello,Is it better to use a DSN connection or using a connection string Set Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Which is easier to use and more reliable? Also could I have all the connection info on one page and then just include it with a include statment everytime I need to query the database?? Thank you, Rich
We have set up an user acceptance server with a database that is the same as production. However, I have been told that this database and server may be used for applying fixes rather than user acceptance.
To avoid confusion over which database is on which server, it might be a good idea to rename the database. I am not sure if this can be done un der mssql 6.5?
1)Can I rename a database?
2)If so, how can I do so?
Which system tables would I use to update?
Any information you can furnish will be appreciated. THanks.
When using the "Management Studio" how do I create a database? When it starts up, I only seem to have the option of connecting to a database, while not actually creating one :S
David writes "Dear sir, I've installed VS.NET 2005 Professional many times and find that the MS SQL Express 2005 is running. My ambition is to log into this server so that I can convert my MySQL database into it. What is the default; Hostname Port Username Password
What tool is provided so that I might execute my schema to create a database in this server. This 'schema' will obviously have many tables inside. Most SQL products provide some type of utility program where one can create, edit, delete databases and an adminstration program. I see nothing of yours in my Programs -> MS SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Computer Manager. Thank you, David Kennedy"
Hello, another question from a newbie to mssql.Is there a way of allowing access to database only by providing username andpassword (disabling trusted connection and preventing administrator toaccess database through enterprise manager or otherwise without supplyingusername and password)?What I would like is that my application upon instalation creates databasewith appropriate tables (already done this) and somehow solely creates andmanages user list and passwords so that there is no access to database otherthrough application. (Application would create a backdoor account shouldsomething go wrong)

I've made af site in Visual Web Developer. On that site i've made a database and it worked finde when I first uploaded it to my FTP as a database file on the server. But due to security problems, my web hotel host has deactivated that possibility. Så now I have to put my data and tables into the MSSQL 2005 Database the host uses. Now here's the problem.
1: How do I do that?
2: How do I get tha tables I've made i Visual Web Developer over in SQL Server Management Studio Express så that I can upload it?
