SQL Server :: SSMS Express Cannot Connect To SQL CE4 Sdf FIle
Feb 8, 2011
I am playing around with WebMatrix ans SQL CE 4.0. I wanted to load up a SQL CE V4.0 db from an Access db.
Tried to connect SSMS Exp to SQL 4.0 sdf file (created in WebMatrix starter site template) and was rejected with the following error that SSMS Express is not yet "aware" of SQL CE V4.0):
Cannot connect to C:Users....App_DataStarterSite.sdf.
This is not a valid SQL Server Compact Database file or this file version is not supported by current SQL Server Compact Engine. (SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider)
[code]...
The sdf file is "a valid SQL Server Compact Database file" - it works fine in WebMatrix.
What do I need to do to make SQL CE 4.0 files kosher for SSMS Express? The error messages suggest that I need to update the SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider, however I might do that.
It works perfectly the first time I install SSMS 2008 Express and I can access my remote database. But, after I restart my machine and open an instance of SSMS the database node is missing.
Before:
After: [:(]
I tried refreshing the database folder but still nothing. I even uninstall but it's still the same.
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)
we can open an SQL Server 2005 DB in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 EXPRESS, woith out it converting to 2008?We want to connect to a remote sql 2005 server in sql server management studio 2008 EXPRESS.
I have a ASP project that I have done before and it was working fine with SQL Serve Express 2005. After formatting my PC, I installed first VS 2008 Pro and then SQL Server Developer 2008 and I'm testing on my laptop but I can't connect to database. After reading a couple of articles I knew that I can't use mdf file because I'm using SQL Developer so it needs another procedure to follow such as changing the parameters in Web.Config
I tried a lot of soultion like start SQL browser Service to be on but still didn't work, also I tried to change the instance name in VS in options but also didn't work with me.
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'm using MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express to build a website that connects to a SQL server 2000 database. Is it possible to connect to SQL 2000 using providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"? I'm guessing not. Or am I limited to using providerName="System.Data.OleDb" ? And seems both connections are under this ADO.NET umbrella. confirm one way or the other ... I'm a bit confused.
So I believe I need to use OleDbCommand calls. I've seen many examples to do gridview select/edit/delete using SqlClient but not OleDb calls in VB code. Links to sample code would be great.
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 tried to connect to the SQL Server (2000) with the VS 2010 Express. I got error saying "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later".
I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Home, and after installing Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express, I am unable to connect to the database using the "Connect To Database" wizard. I get the following error:
"This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later."
The version of SQL Server 2005 Express I've downloaded is directly from the Microsoft site and I also downloaded the SP3 to be used with Windows 7, x64 (which I presumed was a later version of the database). I am able to connect to the database programatically, but I would like to get the wizard functionality working as well (as I am unable to add a database to my projects, using the "Add New Item" wizard either).
I am trying to import the SQL file provided by Elmah into my application, and I don't want to import it into the development machine I use. I want to make it a .mdf file so it can be easily transported to my host. I was wondering if there is a way to do this?
I tried this code by inputting the ftp address as ftp//: and the correct username and password and I get the following error
"Unable to connect to the remote server" on line :
FtpWebResponse Response = (FtpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();I tired this on my ftp server provided by a hosting service and an anonymous ftp located at 193.166.120.5 ?
Note: I was able to connect to both of these ftp through filezilla, via a webbrowser, and through windows command line.
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 having difficulties with a clean SQL Server 2008 + SP1 (64 bit) install. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with VS2010. The Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968369) is installed via Windows Update. I installed SQL Server Management Studio (64 bit) via the Microsoft website. When I open SSMS and try to login with Windows Authentication to (local)/localhost/[computername] I get the following error:
[Code]....
I don't understand this because I opened the inbound/outbound ports for 1433/1434. As wel as inbound/outbound exceptions for the programs
I have recently combined my aspnet membership database and main website database into one database file, I'm happy with the schemas, stored procedures etc. (This is a development project not yet a production project.)
My problem is that I can no longer simultaneously connect to the database from Visual Studio if a user is logged in to the website.
EG:
Scenario 1: No user is logged in to the website. I can go to the Data Connection window in VS, choose "Add Connection" and then inspect the contents and schemas of the database. This is fine.
Scenario 2: A user is logged in on the website. I try to connect to the website in VS and get the error:
"Cannot open user default database. Login failed. "
Scenario 3: I am connected to the database in VS and nobody is logged into the website. If someone tries to log into the website they get the following error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
So it seems from the above that there can be only one connection to the database at a time? However this was not the case before I combined the membership database with the main website database. I could always make changes as a user logged into the website and at the same time see those changes through the connection in Visual Studio.
If I install SSMS 2008 as a client tool (on my workstation at my company) to access to SQL Server 2008 Production, do I need to buy a license for SSMS 2008?I found out that SSMS 2008 is free but not sure if it's for development only.
After I successfully installed Database Publishing Wizard [URL], I use it to connect to my local database server using SSMS 10.0 to generate a .sql file but I'm getting this error "This SQL Server version (10.0) is not supported."
Is there any updated version of DPW 1.1 that supports SQL Server 2008?
I created an MDF file in VS 2008 in the Solutions Explorer window and can see the file path for this file as:
C:Documents and SettingsAdminMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008WebSitesAddSQLRecordsApp_Data
But when I try to add this MDF file in SQL Server 2005 Express, I click the Add button but cannot find this exact path above. How do I find this? I am running this on a 32-bit XP OS.
in my ASP.NET applicaton I have ftpdata folder, where is MS Access 2010 somename.accdb file. On my local computer (Win XP), there is no problem to connect with OleDb to this file and read write datas into and from tables. But on server (Windows Server 2008), I cannot connect to the same file like on localhost.
