Can i open an SQL express 2005 database in SQL server express 2012?

Hi,
i have a database and it's in SQL express 2005 but because my windows 8 is not compatible with the installer, i have to install the latest 2012 installer. my problem now is that i cannot open it in the 2012 edition..what do i have to do?

Hi white_roses,
Could you let us know how do you restore the database to SQL Server 2012 Express edition? Please help to collect the detail error information of this issue, it will benefit for us to do further investigation.
As Sandesh and ED suggested above, we can directly detach our databases from SQL Server 2005 and then attach them to SQL Server 2012. For detail steps, please refer to the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858.aspx
After we move a database from the instance of SQL Server on server A to the instance of SQL Server on server B, users may be unable to log in to the database on server B. If need the logins information on Server B, please refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
Jerry Li

Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme, Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme

Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express. I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it. How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor?? I could use FCE fine with an old monitor. HELP!

I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support). Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?). He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted. That worked. I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie. There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray! (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

SQL Server 2008 & 2012 Database backup on a shared loaction

Hi,
I have to plan for the Database backup on SQL Server 2008 & 2012 on a shared Path.
We are building a new Maintenance plan &  specify the Database which needs to be backup & at the Folder location we specify the Shared Path Location. These steps I have followed using the below link,
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/be138ca3-4b2f-4464-8115-9a0a6f2e0fe6/sql-database-backup-on-network-share-using-maintenance-plan?forum=sqldatabasemirroring
But the operation fails & throws the below error:

Hello,
>>'\\DBBackup\SharePoint_backup\DB_backup_2014_02_13_122719_5314660.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
This clearly points out to fact that your SQL Server service account does not have permission of read/write on shared location,simple.
>>But when I open the shared path in the Windows Explorer it opens successfully.
This is because when you are browsing through explorer your windows login credential is used to access that folder but when you are running backup your SQL Server service account permission is used to write backup on shared folder ( which I assume it does
not have ) so the access denied error.
Hope this helps
PS: I reffered the link its maily how you specify backup path its not about access denied error due to SQL server service acount not having privilege

Can I define a SQL Server View to Oracle data?

So I have a subset of data whose source of truth resides in an Oracle Database. Can I define a SQL Server View to retrieve this subset of data and make it available on the SQL Server side for say Reporting and SSRS? I think I also saw where they tend to
prefer User-Defined functions as opposed to a view. If I define the view using an OPENQUERY, I have noticed that it seems to run FOREVER on the SQL Server side and returns pretty timely if I run in Oracle SQL Developer. Is there anything I can tweak to improve
this timeliness or lack there of?
And the whole reason I'd like to create a view of this Oracle data is so that I can take advantage of all the views and functions that we have created on the SQL Server side.
Has anyone gone down this path and can offer some advice and web sites or YouTubes as to the best way to approach this?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply while I keep Googling this.

There are couple of ways by which you can connect and fetch the data
OPENQUERY - which you are already using [uses linked server] -
runs on remote server
OPENROWSET - I would like to avoid this because it requires crenditials
OPENDATASET - Similar issue like OPENROWSET
Directly access linked server like LINKEDSERVER.DATABASE.SCHEMA.TABLE -
runs on your local server
Now, performance
basically, they have the same performance advantages and disadvantages when connecting to remote server. But you can enhance it by
Avoiding data conversion
Using procedure on Oracle and then call it from SQL Server (due to compiled plan your result will be faster)
Avoiding dealing with complex data types
If you are dealing with large number of records, try using Oracle connector in SSIS. I found it working much better than SQL sometimes.
Hope this will help
Glad to help! Please remember to accept the answer if you found it helpful. It will be useful for future readers having same issue.

Entity Framework doesn't create the database in SQL Server Management 2012, instead it just creates in (localdb)\v11.0 How to fix it?

Hi, I'm Begginer in Entity Framework. Then I'm having some problems.
I created my entities and I give Save Changes. (Ok)
Then, I Tried to Connect with the database through Server Explorer, if I use the instance of the SQL Server Management Studio 2012(PC-PAULO\INSTANCIAPJ) as Server Name, the database doesn't appears but, if I use the the instance (localdb)\v11.0 the dabase
appears.
How to change the save to the SQL Server Management Studio 2012, I don't know where this (localDB)\v11.0 saves.
Help-me Thank you :D

Hello PauloJos,
The code should be ok and it is really strange that the database is only created into the local database in your machine. I am wondering if it is related with the machine environment, could you please have a try with below demo on your machine which works
on my side and if it is possible, please have a try to run your application on other machines to see if it works:

static void Main(string[] args)

using (CFDbContext db = new CFDbContext())
db.Database.CreateIfNotExists();
#endregion
public class CFDbContext : DbContext
public CFDbContext() : base("UltraFoda3") { }
public DbSet<TestOne> TestOnes { get; set; }
public class TestOne
public int ID { get; set; }

Here is another.

The JDBC 3.0 driver will work in a JDBC 2.0 environment (i.e with J2SE 1.2 or 1.3)
provided you use only JDBC 2.0 features of the driver

How many users from an application can connect to a SQL server at a time?

HI,
I need to know , How many users from an application can connect to a SQL server at a time? Do we have any settings for this in SQL server for limiting the users?

This is a difficult question, since it is both technical and legal.
The absolute maximum number of connections is around 32700, but unless your server is very beefy, it will choke long before that. A connection is not a user - an application can have many connections for the same user. Depending on your license
model, you may be legally limited to a certain number of users, but this number is not enforced technially.

Upgrade from SQL server developer 2008 R2 to SQL Server developer 2012

Hi,
We have bought 5 licenses of SQL server developer 2012.
This licenses provided us an option to use SQL server 2008 R2. And we have been using 2008 R2 till now.
But now we want to upgrade to SQL server developer 2012 edition
I want to know the process for up-gradation. When I looked at the licensing portal, it says "This product does not require a product key"
My questions are:
1) Should I download the 2012 version from licensing center and pass the downloaded copy to respective team members?
2) Can the team member download the SQL server 2012 developer edition from Microsoft site and install it on their machines?
3) Do we need to first un-install 2008 R2?
4) How the licensing can be managed in cases of products which say "This product does not require a product key.", i.e. how can I make sure that no more than 5 installations are done by the team
Thanks

1. Developer edition has license associated with it .And yes you can download it if you have subscription.But please be informed that you cannot use Developer edition in production,its not allowed and illegal.
2.You can upgarde from SQL server 2008 R2 to 2012 developer edition by Inplace upgrade method ,you can also follow side by side approach.For side by side approach you have to get new box ,intall OS,then install SQL server 2012 ,move logins and jobs and move
databases by backup restore.You must see supported upgrades
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(v=sql.110).aspx
3.No not ins any case ,please dont do that
4.Licensing question should best be asked with Microsoft licensing expert.
reg process of upgarde first run upgrade advisor and look for error if any.Then run SQL server 2012 setup and in maintenance section select edition upgrade,other process is same as SQL Server installtion

Cannot start SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) 2012 after changes to IPALL

I made a change to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, TCP/IP, IP Addresses, IPALL and now receive an error when attempting to restart SQL Server. Can anyone help with this? Is it possible to restore system to prior checkpoint in order to correct
this?
Please help.

Hi Chuck,
The Error "TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x10. Reason: Unable to retrieve registry settings from TCP/IP protocol's 'IPAll' configuration key. The data is invalid" Suggest that there is a problem with the data stored in one
of the registry keys related to SQL server start up. Although the information provided is not sufficient to pinpoint to a specific issues. Still try the following step open the SQL server configuration manager
Select SQL server Network Configuration->Protocols for <Your SQLExpress instance Name>
On the right side double click TCP/IP.Select IPAddresses Tab. Scroll the way down till you file IPALL
Make sure that there are only a valid TCP/IP Port number is present. Even the leading or trailing whitespaces could make a difference here. Once you have verified that above two conditions are met. Try starting the SQL server instance.
Also make sure that the TCP/IP port is not being used by any other program.
You can run the command netstat -aon on the command prompt to see the list of ports being used. Make sure that the port you have specified for SQL server is not listed under the TCP protocols.
Hope this helps.
