Can't connect to my sql server express 14 database following an automatic update on my pc [Closed]

hi
following an automatic update a few minutes ago that resulted in a pc re-start, i cannot connect to my database anymore.
is there any solution to overcome this issue?
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)
ps: i never got server or instance related error before the update
Cheers

in case it might help, i've finally found the solution:
-enable/start sql server browser from sql server configuration manager
-update status to "enabled" for all protocol names in my instance

How can i connect to a SQL Server 2000 database usgin JSP?

I need (URGENT) to connect to SQL Server 2000 databse using JSP. I do not know how to program using JSP, so if anyone has any code snippet please let me see it. What i need is to give my site some login/password security.
Anyone?
Thx.

just create an ODBC of your database from control pannel -> administrative tools -> data sources (ODBC) ,double click it .....
go to the tab SYstem DSN , click on ADD button. select the driver for your connection. it will be the last one in the list "SQL Server".
click Next then give ur DSN name there, description and Server Name , on next give your username and password of SQL server. when it will be connected to the server celect your database from there and hence there will be an ODBC bridge same as in case of MS Access.
code for connecting to ODBC is
// DSN-NAME same as in System DSN.
// username and password are of your databse
try
          url = "jdbc:odbc:DSN-NAME";
          Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
          connect = DriverManager.getConnection( url,"username","password" );
          catch ( ClassNotFoundException cnfex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( cnfex.getMessage() );
          catch ( SQLException sqlex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( sqlex.getMessage() );
          catch ( Exception ex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( ex.getMessage() );
Now you are connected to the SQL Server ..... use connect object for further processing .........

What is the correct wording to connect to an SQL Server Express 2014 database?

Hello,
Please make sure you change RemoteServer with the computer name of the intended SQL Server server.
Make sure the SQL Server instance have enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols. Use the following article to enable them:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294.aspx
Start SQL Server Browser Service using SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Hope this helps.

Can't connect to remote SQL Server 2014 Standard with VS 2012

Hi all,
I am trying to create a development environment using SQL Server 2014 (not Express). The SQL server instance is on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine in a non-domain environment. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed on the same machine which can connect
to the SQL server instance without problems. I have another machine with VS 2012 that cannot connect. SQL server is configured for mixed authentication. The SSDT on the remote machine can see the SQL server networked instance, but will not
connect with SQL authentication.
I have rounded up all the usual suspects;
- The SQL server service is running
- Remote connections are enabled on SQL server and the relevant firewall ports are open.
- TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled
- Remote connections are enabled in Management Studio
- SQL Server Browser service in enabled and running
What am I missing? I have been out of developer mode for a few years and all of the tools have changed, but I seem to be missing something obvious.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim

Hello,
Have you configured the Windows Firewall on the Visual Studio computer too? Is there any other security software on those
2 computers?
Can you ping between both computers by computer name? If not, try connecting using the IP address. For example:
10.0.0.10,1433
1433 is the default SQL Server port number.
Hope this helps.

Can I recover a damaged SQL Server 2008 database with the undamaged .mdb and .ldf files?

Their original SQL Server was 2008, with SP unknown, but installed on D: and C: drives. The power spike corrupted their O/S on the C:
drive and someone reinstalled both the O/S and the SQL Server, which is now SQL 2008, SP4. They have intact files for all system databases, both .mdb and .ldf. Is there some way they can reconnect with the user databases using the intact copies
of the previous system databases? I have heard that if the SQL Server is stopped, previous Master and Msdb .mdb and .ldf files moved into place and the server restarted, that any previous user database .mdb and .ldf files can be accessed by the SQL server.
Is this the case, or are there details missing?

Hello! try this steps
1 Open your SQL Server Management Studio console. This application shortcut is available in the SQL Server directory in the Windows Start button.
2 Enter the system administrator user name and password. SQL Server's administrator user name is "sa." This account is required for privileges to restore the database. If your restoring on a host provider server, use the administrator user name
and password they supplied for your account.
3 Right-click your database name and select "Attach." In the new window that opens, click the "Add" button to open a dialog box.
4 Select your MDF file and press the "Ok" button. It may take several minutes to restore the database if it is a large file. Once the process is finished, browse your tables to verify the data. The database is now restored.

Having problems connecting Coldfusion10 with sql server express 2012

Hi,
I am having problems setting up a datasource for a local sql express 2012 server. Its running as the default instance. Connections are working with ODBC and client told just not Coldfusion.
When I try to set up a connection using the sql driver I get this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: Leaf
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Invalid argument: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Invalid argument: connect
When I try a Socket connection with an ODBC connection I setup in windows I get this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: LeafDB
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Rossco199,
The issue is likely caused by you not having yet assigned port 1433 in SQL Express itself. Follow the procedure described on the following page, and you should solve the problem: http://www.tensixconsulting.com/2012/02/sqlserverexception-the-tcpip-connection-to-the-hos t-port-1433-has-failed/
In particular, remember to assign port 1433 to 127.0.0.1 and to IPAll. Also set 'Active' and 'Enabled' to 'Yes' for the IP 127.0.0.1. While you're at it, if 'Named Pipes' is disabled, you should right-click on it and select 'enable'. Afterwards, restart the Windows service 'SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS)'.
It is advisable to allow ColdFusion server authentication. However, the SQL Express server is configured by default to allow only Windows authentication. This conflict may lead to errors.
Should you then encounter the dreaded Error 233: "No process is on the other end of the pipe", proceed as follows. Open the tool Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Right-click on the name of your database server, then on Properties. In the user interface that opens, click on Security. Select the combined 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode'. Restart the service 'SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS)'.

Can JSP connect to Microsoft SQL server?

Hi, i'm having problem of looking for a tutorial or any information about how to link jsp to microsoft sql server. I hope that i can get some information on can i do this and how to do it. If possible, please to give some guide on where i can find the tutorial or some example.
Thank you

Ideally if you are connecting to the database to pull data out for display, you should be using a servlet to do this. The servlet can be loaded via the JSP page to display the dynamic data.
You should really remove the Java from the JSP page as much as possible, by using a servlet to do the DB lookup etc you are achieving this quite effectively. The returned information an be in a HTML Table format that can be diplayed by the JSP page.
At the coreservlets site (http://archive.coreservlets.com/) chapter 18 has a few good examples withrespect to connection to a database and even provides a connection pooling discussion with examples. The book is pretty good for beginners looking to get a leg up in servlet/JSP development.
Here is a Servlet course that has DB connection included

Connecting to an SQL Server 2000 Database

Hi!
I am trying to make a connection to a database created from SQL Server 2000. However, I don't know how to do it. Can anyone please help? How would the Java code different from the code we use to connect to a database created from MS Access?
jt

Hi Hartmut,
I have a program which inserts a date into a table.
I use a dsn configured to a database (as you've
suggested). In my case, it's MS Access:
private boolean writeToMSAccess(Hashtable ht) {
    // Build sql statement;
    // we use of # around the date, for MS Access.
    String sql =
        "INSERT INTO Broadcast (Author, BroadcastTime, Title, Length, BroadcastGroup,Link) " +
        "VALUES ('" + (String)ht.get("author") + "', " +
        "#" + date + "#, " +
        .... + "')";
        // Connect to the database, execute the sql.
        // dsn is passed into the program
        Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        String url = "jdbc:odbc:" + dsn;
        Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, login, password);
        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
        stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
        stmt.close();
        conn.close();
        return true;
    }Now if I point my DSN to SQL Server for example,
it won't work b/c of the # marks. I'd have to change:
    String sql =
        "INSERT INTO Broadcast (Author, BroadcastTime, Title, Length, BroadcastGroup,Link) " +
        "VALUES ('" + (String)ht.get("author") + "', " +
        "#" + date + "#, " +
        .... + "')";to:
    String sql =
        "INSERT INTO Broadcast (Author, BroadcastTime, Title, Length, BroadcastGroup,Link) " +
        "VALUES ('" + (String)ht.get("author") + "', " +
        "'" + date + "', " +
        .... + "')";My question is, is there a way to detect which database
my dsn points to, so that I can determine at run-time
whether or not to use the # marks?
Or is there another way around this problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Reinitialising sql server connection in ssms sql server express

As a beginner I added several databases to my server in sqlexpress. These are now resident in connect to server in ssms. However I used the normal delete function in windows to delete some of the databases, without realising what would happen. As a result the
server ./sqlexpress retains references to the deleted databases showing up in ssms connect to server. How do I get rid of those references please. I am using vs2010 and vs 2012 express.
I have tried connecting to the databases using ssms but since the databases don't exist the connection fails. There's also a question of passwords since i'm using sql asuthentication and these databases were used over a year ago. Quite simply I don't know what
to try and a search on re-initialization on the web only comes up with install, or re-install and seems to center around 2005 versions of vs

Can you try detach option? Right click on db name and choose detach
If that also doesn't work try Take Offline option.
This has worked for me in the past.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Connection problem in Crystal Reports for Eclipse(SQL Server Express 2008)

I tried to connect into a local SQL Server Express 2008 database in Crystal Reports for Eclipse (CR4E), but always got the Ping failed message(TCP/IP connection failed) even I tests completed successfully using my Window XP Adminstrators Tools (SQL Server ODBC Data Source Test). I can connect successfully to a remote network Oracle database in CR4E. I would like to know
that is there any one who connect SQL Server Express 2008 local database successfully in CR4E?

Don,
Thanks for your suggestions. I will follow your instruction to connect to SQL Server Express 2008 database latelly. I can connect successfully with different Oracle databases (10g) in CR4E. I will try to connect MySQL database and Postgres database in CR4E to see if they can be successful or not. My project involves international entities with emphsizing in using OPEN SOURCE softwares (which means FREE - no license fees) in .NET platform for Oracle, SQL Server Express, MySQL and Postgres database servers. I am responsible for reports generation. I hope that CR4E can be connected successfully to SQL Server Express 2008 database server, otherwise I have to use JFreeReport/JFreeChart tools to do reports generation .

Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Drivers 4.0.2206 timeout on first connection to SQL Server Express after it sleeps

Our builds kick off and run integration tests. They are configured to hit a SQL Server Express server.
If the builds have been quiet for a while, the first test to connect fails after stalling for 20 minutes.
Subsequent tests are fine.
Reversing test order does the same thing, with a different test.
We noticed in the SQL Server express log the server saying it is waking up after being idle.
Microsoft SQL Server Express with Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Drivers 4.0.2206.
Connection times out after 20 minutes.Occurs with the first connection made after the SQL Server Express server wakes up from going to sleep.Connections after the first are just fine, until SQL Server Express sleeps.SSL enabled. Timeout duration for the connection failure is unaffected by setting timeout options for the connection. Work around:
cron-like job that runs every minute that makes a simple query on the server keeps the server from going to sleep.
Has anyone else run into this?

Hello,
SQL Server Express will go to sleep if idle, this behavior is not configurable.
When SQL Express transitions from idle to active some of the memory that was released needs to be reclaimed; this results is a slight lag during "startup time" when you're first connecting to SQL Express.
The other sort of sleep occurs when a database with AUTO_CLOSE unloading itself after a period of inactivity. This can be resolved by setting AUTO_CLOSE to false.
You can refer to the following blog about more details about this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2008/02/22/sql-express-behaviors-idle-time-resources-usage-auto-close-and-user-instances.aspx
You can try to upgrade the SQL Server Express to a non-free version to get rid of this.
