DataSource Controls :: Installed SQL Express Instance Name?
Feb 4, 2010
I'm trying to open SQL 2008 Express .mdf file in VS 2008 but I got the "...A downgrade path is not supported...." error. I have SQL 2005 express with its management studio too.
I expect that SQL 2008 express was installed with VS2008 because when I try to install it again the installation wizard shows that I have it installed already with Service Pack1.
I read the solution on some threads:
In Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Database Connections, fill the SQL Server Instance Name with the name of SQL Server 2008 Express instance But how do I know the name of SQL Server 2008 Express instance?

I have installed sql server 2008 express along with visual web developer 2008 express (latest sp1) using web installer now I downloaded this file:
'Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services' from here: [URL] but when I run the installer and choose add new features to existing instance of sql server I get no full text search feature option in the list, There are only a few options that are selected and greyed out (because they are installed previously) in the list of available features. Why I don't have full text search feature in the list and how to find and install it? (mine is the 64bit version)

I had archived all of my files prior to the change. Since I am now having a great deal of trouble working with 2010, I want to revert. My question is: If I restore all of the archived files and start 2008, will I need to make any changes to the registry or to any other files?
The problems that I am having are illusive. Some of the relative paths nolonger work. Some f the projects that had been working for 24 months no longer functions. I am having a great deal of trouble calling my older "[WebMethod]" "ASMX" services and many other issues.

My laptop is running Vista Home Premium. I recently reinstalled Windows from recovery and ran updates. I set up IIS 6 and downloaded Visual Web Develper Express 2008 including SQL Server Express 2008. They all look fine, and I am able to set up database from Visual Studio. But I am not able to download Management Studio Express 2008. Each time it lead me to a file list after downloading, but not installation. What wrong with it?

I have 2 instances of SQL Express installed:
SQL 2005 -> .SQLEXPRESS
SQL 2008 R2 -> .SQL2008
I have Visual Studio 2010 configured to use .SQL2008 by default in Tools->Options->Database Tools. In Server Explorer, it tells me that it's connecting to the database via 2008.
However, when I run an ASP.NET sample I downloaded (that has it's own ASPNETDB.MDB file), I get a version error (612 vs. 655). I understand that means it's connecting to the 2005 instance instead of the 2008 instance.
How can I make it connect to the 2008 instance? The web.config file has no connection strings, so everything is default.

I installed Visual Web Developer 2010 on a machine that already had SQL Server 2008 Professional on it. Now that machine is running both SQL 2008 Professional and SQL 2008 Express instances.
Is there an easy way to uninstall the Express instance?

I have SQL Express loaded on a separate box. I have my ASP.NET loaded on my local machine. When I try to connect I get the following error:
{"Cannot open database "MyDB" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'sa'."}
This absolutely mystifies me because the same UID and Password in my connection string is the one I use to log into SQL Express locally and it works just fine. I believe this to be a SQL Express specific problem but I am not quite sure what.

I'm running SQL Express 2005 on an SBS 2003 Standard Server and I keep getting this error back.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: 28 - Server doesn't support requested protocol)
I've uploaded my project to this same server, and I've so far checked that TCP/IP has been enabled for this instance, I've checked the IPs are relevant, I've checked that the connection string is correct, and I've even set a dynamic port number as I've noticed that SBS runs 2005 databases for Sharepoint and Monitoring.
Interestingly enough, I can connect to this instance via Visual Studio on my remote machine, and SSMSE and also via SSMSE on the server as well?The connection string i'm running with is:
Data Source=localhostVDSSQL;Initial Catalog=myDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SA;Password=***

I am working on sql server 2000.I have only one instance running on SQL SERVER 2000.I have the instance name as 'ashvinDIT0934/sys07DIT' registered somehow.But i need to have it simply as 'mycompanyname' (no changes but as 'mycompanyname'). how i could change it and have the instance name changed.The instance name that i have given above i.e (ashvinDIT0934/sys07DIT) when inserted into the connectionstring does not work.It says as invalid escape sequence.So hence i need to have it as 'mycompanyname'

quick question on SQL Studio Mgt Expres (SSMES) 2208. I have been googling around but could not find a clear cut answer to this simple issue:Is it possible to connect to a remote db using SSMES 2008? The options at login appear to be restricted to Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition only. On the SSME 2005 version, there was an option to connect to remote db's usging server name & pwd. Has this feature been disabled in the 2008 Express version?

I have been attempting to install sql server express 2008 but have come across problems. I downloaded it via web platform installer and it ran the install process, and I thought this would be it, but then upon creating some wizard log in controls on a website they won't work because its not installed. Then i relised I can't actually run the program, only some of its features. I then found the Installation centre and thought, oh I haven't actually installed it yet, and when I select new SQL server stand-alone installation or add features, instead of going through the process like it states on tutorials for installs, it asks me to browse for installation media, which I do not have because I downloaded the express edition.

I used that Microsoft Windows installer and installed visual web developer 2008 express and sql server 2008 so I thought. visual web developer works find.
When I look at sql server 2008 all I see is import export data link.
and the configuration tools.
In the configuration tools I see the following:
sql server configuration manager.
sql server error and usage reporting
sql server installation center.
So I figure sql server 2008 was not fully installed.d
I open the installation center and went to system configuration checker but I get a dialog
box that say browse for sql server 2008 installation media.

I have written a website in ASP.NET with a back-end database using SQL Express 2008. My database is created and put in the App_Data folder. It is ok when it runs on my local machine. However, when I upload to the web server, I got the error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and ettingsDesktopProject2_ISAM5337App_DataEvent.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. By the way, I notice a same probelm : When I move my project to a location which is different from specific path for my database, I got the same error message .

After reimaging my hard drive, I reinstalled SQL Server Express 2008, this time using the Windows Platform Installer for the first time. Tried running websites within VS2008 and VS2010 and can't connect to database. Tried to turn on using Sql Server Config Manager. Won't turn on. Also tried to connect via Sql Server Management Studio 2008, but got this error:
A network-related or instance specific error occured....the server was not found or was not accessable.

Using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with what I'm assuming is Sql 2008 Express. Using SqlDataSource, when I try to configure a data source, I'm able to input a server name: (local)sqlexpress and the "Test Connection" button shows that it was successful. However, if I type in a new database table name and VWD 2008 asks if I would like to create it, I keep getting the message: "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT." No idea what that means or how to fix it. I can't open theDatabase Explorer View.
