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.
View 3 RepliesI 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'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.
View 6 RepliesI 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?
I have one asp.net hosting account with some service provider.. They have given me some xxx.xxxxxx.com to access sql server from my desktop...
I enter xxx.xxxxx.com in server name and username and password but it will not connect..
what are the steps i have to do to access my hosting database...
they have given sql server 2008 im using in local sql server 2005 management studio so let me know how to connect
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.
is it possible to put my database in the system databases in the program ?
View 2 RepliesI usually use WebMatrix to manage my database (sdf file). I wonder if it can be possible to manage this database with SQL Management Studio 2008? When I try to open it with SQL Management Studio 2008 I get the error:
Incompatible database version. What's wrong?
BUT When I create a new sdf database with SQL Management Studio 2008, I have no problem for open it again with SQL Management Studio 2008 but if I try to open it with WebMatrix it doesn't work...(server not found?)
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.

I can connect to my local & "COMPAQSQLEXPRESS" Server.
But while connecting to Remote Server i m getting the following error
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to x.x.xxx.xx.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (ConnectionDlg)

This is probably an easy one, but can I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to work on a regular SQL Server database?

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 am using sql express 08 & sql management studio exp 08. I tried to clone a database from another but an error occured. My steps:
[newDatabase] >> right click >> tasks >> restore >> databaseOn general section: from database = [databaseSource] >> backup sets: all checked
On options section: overwrite existing database: checked, recovery state: restore with recoveryClick [ OK ] button The error:
Restore failed for 'MyServerSQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The file 'x:.........databaseSource.mdf' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'databaseSource'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
And why sql management studio tried to overwrite the dataSource (not newDatabase)? how to clone a database? I also tried backup databaseSource to file and then restore newDatabase from the file but resulting the same error.

For my database I create a new query and wrote
select * from dbname
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

We use SQL Server 2005 and 2008 here at my workplace. In the past, whenever we setup a new developer workstation we would install Visual Studio, then install Management Studio by downloading the SQL Server trial, and installing only the tools. The tools (in the past) were setup so you could use them indefinitely, it was only the database engine itself that was time-limited.
With SQL Server 2008 that has apparently changed. I tried to start Management Studio 2008 on my workstation today, and got an error stating that "evaluation period has expired." I'm assuming we built this workstation the same as all the previous ones we've built, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm wondering if possible Management Studio was installed along with Visual Studio... is that possible? At any rate, my question is--how do we properly install Management Studio so that it won't "expire"? We don't need to install the database engine, we just want to install Management Studio.
