App Wont Share Database With Sql Server Management Studio Express?
Oct 15, 2010
I have an ASP.NET 3.5 app with a SQL 2005 Express .mdf database file in its App_Data folder. Lets call that Foo.mdf. On its own the ASP.NET app can connect to the database with no problems. So far so good. Then, if I install Sql Server Management Studio Express on the server and start it, it finds the local SQLEXPRESS instance and connects to it, but doesn't show Foo.mdf in the list of databases.
So I try and Attach Foo.mdf by right-clicking on databases and selecting Attach.. and finding the .MDF. This fails with a vague error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(error not found)
while attempting to open or create the physical file
'C:inetpubwwwrootFooAppApp_DataFoo.mdf'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5123)
If I stop my ASP.NET site in IIS, then the attach does work, but then when I restart my ASP.NET app, it can't connect to Foo.mdf. So it looks like SQL Express 2005 will only let either my app or Management Studio connect. This seems really crap - surely Sql Express should allow more than one connection? I was expecting it to behave like regular Sql Server.
I am unable to restore database in form of .bak files using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.It gives following error message:
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
How do you import database diagram at SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)? Using SSMSE in checking my database through a shared server, the "Database Diagrams" folder has no import functionality.
using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. Saved it by name SQLQuery1.sql on the desktop. Now I would like to call this query from C# code when an ASP.NET button is clicked and display the results in a gridview. How do I call the query? Can I tell Visual Studio 2008 to please execute the query stored in 'sqlquery1.sql' ? Where do I store the results so that I can bind them the display controls like a gridview, or traverse the data? This is a website in C#, ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2008, and database is on the same computer using SQL Server 2005 Express
I just installed SQL Server 2008 Management studio Express on my Vista machine.i tried connecting to local machine using :
.sqlexpress, (local)sqlexpress, or .SQLExpress, MyPCNAMESQLExpress
nothing is working, getting this error:
----------------------------- Cannot connect to PC-NAMESQLEXPRESS. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ----------------------------
I have SQL server management studio express install on one machine.
I am able to connect to that machine or able to ping that machine from my computer.
I have code which return me the SQL server instances on same network. Using that I am able to get that SQL server instance. I have configured SQL express to access remote connection. i.e.
Configured SQL express to accept named / TCP IP instance connection. Started Browser service.
My machine settings My machine has been configured to set dynamic IP address using DHCP protocol
When I am trying to connect to above mentioned SQL server I am getting error that "Failed to connect SERVER NAME\SQLEXPRESS".
But if I configured my machine with manual IP address and default gateway I am able to connect to same SQL server.
I got the solution to connect to that server but I don't know why I am facing such problem. And also let me know that is the solution I am using is correct or not?
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate (trial version) on my PC,it's working fine but i am getting issue with sql server 2005,it's not working now.
I m using SQL Server 2005 Express edition.The error when i am trying to connect sql server with windows authentication is
"This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)".
I follow the instruction of installing a new feature with the application SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe and I get to a fail telling me that VS 2008 needs to be upgraded to SP1.
This I have done several times with the final message saying successfully installed yet 'About' shows only
Using the Web Platform installer, in installed both the Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008. Next, I connected to my local SQL Server Express 2008 and created a simple database and table using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 where the database file resided in the app data folder of my website. I can connect and explore the table from both Visual Web Developer 2008 as well as the full blown version of Visual Studio 2008.
I jsut installed SQL server and management studio on my PC. For management studio, I created a database with tables. However, When I have data connection for SQL server in visual studio express, I couldn' t see the database I created.
I've used the WebPI to install SQL Server Express 2008 and VWD2008 SP1. I made sure to install SQL Server first then install VWD. Whenever i use VWD now though and try to add a new SQL Server Database to my website i get the error message "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly."
I'm a little stuck as to where to proceed with this error. I've un-installed everything web development related and re-installed and still get the same error. I was under the impression that VWD2008 SP1 required SQL Server Express 2008 and wouldn't work with SQL Server Express 2005 so can't understand why it now wants it to be installed.
After I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition, then I upgrade "SQL Server Express 2005" to "SQL Server Express 2008 SP2". Process upgrading SQL Server Express 2008 was going succesfully (none of the process was fail).
But when I create a New Website I could not add a new item "SQL Server Database" into my website file. Because Visual Studio always rejected any new "SQL Server Database" by giving message below (underline):
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.
I'm trying to access an SQL Server Express database out of an ASP.NET HTTP request handler. The handler is run under ASPNET account and uses "integrated security" in the SQL connection string and so I get an error message saying that login for ASPNET account failed and so I can't access the database. This seems to be a very common problem and most answers say "grant access to you database to user ASPNET".
I only have Visual Studio 2008 and I can't find how to change access permisssions for a database. Specifically I use Tools->Server Explorer and I can see all the tables in the database but can't find how to change access permissions. How do I change access permissions to my database using tools shipped within Visual Studio 2008?
I have created a web application and an SQL database using Web Developer 2010 Express. I have SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express. In order to deploy the database to my hosting space I need to create a .BAK file from my new database. I think I can do this from with the Management Studio, but can't figure out how to get it to connect to the database. I have used Management Studio before to retore another SQL database and the only connection I see when I open the Management Studio is the old connection to the old database. How do I connect to my new database?
I have a mdf database in my computer. And I have sql management studio 2005 installed. I would like to mange the mdf database with this program and I do not know how.
I need to connect to 3 remote databases from my local machine and restore 3 .bak files, one for each database.I am new to asp and sql server and am finding SQL Server Management studio quite confusing. I cannot find any options to connect remotely or restore a database from .bak.
I'd like to learn more about MS Business Intelligence Development Studio. I'm doing this on my own, so I'd like to keep my software costs down. It's my understanding that BIDS comes with the download for SQL Server, but is used in Visual Studio (by creatign a BIDS project). Is this accurate? My question is - Is it possible to get a working copy of BIDS by downloading SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Express?

I'm a newbie in development, and i'm facing a grave concern here. Sql Server Management Studio (2008) does not seem to be able to attach a database that i've already created in Sql Server 2005 express within my ASP.NET application. When I try to attach the database, by clicking "Attach" after right clicking the Database note in object explorer, I get to see a dialog box with an Add button. I then click that button, and try to navigate to the database, and I'm simply not able to reach that folder!!! The folder containing the databse physically exists, but i can't see it when i'm trying to browse to it.This is a Windows 7 (home edition) laptop, with VS 2008.
I am using SQL server 2008 . What i all want is to create a uses that can only see the ABCDatabase in Management studio onced login. And to achieve that:
1- I have created a new user. 2- Deny View all database right to that user. 3-Set that user as Owner of ABCDatabase
Now on login that user cannot see other databases but still able to see the system databases. How can i hide those system databases from that user?
