Can TS work with sql server compact or express?

I'm don't have much experience with the underpinning of database systems.  I know conceptually how they work and can hack my way through sql queries.  Is there something fundamentally different about a Sql Server Compact itnstall versus Sql Server versus Sql Server Express?  Can TS work with any of them with a proper connection string?
My problem is at our local site a previous employee set us up on Sql Server and wrote a web app (.asp) to do the query for presentation on a web page.  At an offsite location they can't install Sql Server and I'm trying to figure out the best path for them to be able to use the same .asp tool we have.  My gut feeling is the .asp tool is probably set up such that it wouldn't take much to make it work with MySql but because I don't have the luxury of time I'm hoping someone can point me in what they think might be the easiest direction (whether that is sql compact if possible or MySql for them).

Hi,
TestStand works with SQL server express. (not sure about SQL server compact).

  • Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

    I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine. 
    Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent.  When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc. 
    I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem.  Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
    Kind Regards

    The problems solved
    steps:
    1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
    2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
    3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
    4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
    5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
    I hope not to forget something
    Thank You all for the help

  • Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???

    Simple question really
    Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
    Is it worth while upgrading?
    The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
    Thanks

    Hi Gmach,
    The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
    to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Does BPEL 10.1.2.0.2 work with SQL Server JDBC 2005 driver?

    Hi, wondering if any one has got 10.1.2.0.2 or .0.0 to work with the SQL Server 2005 jdbc driver. I have placed the sqljdbc.jar file in the OC4J_BPEL/applib/ directory in place of the previous 3 2000 drivers.
    I then modified the connections I had in oc4j-ra.xml so that the:
    driverClassName was com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver instead of com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    the connectionString was jdbc:sqlserver:/ instead of jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver/
    Forgot to add that after putting in the new driver and making the above changes we now get an error when running a process that connects to SQL Server that "Connection Refused"
    Aside, has anyone found any performance benefits between 2000,2005 or datadirect sql server drivers?
    Thank you,
    Ashley

    Hi
    Did u able to connect to SQL Server 2005 with jdbc driver.
    If yes could you please provide me the solution. I am also facing the same issue.

  • Does OBI SE1 work with SQL server 2005

    Does anybody know if SQL Server 2005 can be used with OBIEE?
    Any responses would be appreciated.

    Yes. Create a new database in the physical layer of the rpd and open the "Database" dropdown in the "Data source definition"...not the "SQL Server 2005" entry there.
    Cheers,

  • Back arrow does not work with SQL Server Reporting Services Reports. When one pages back from a sub report the back action appears to skip moving to the previous step. IE 8 works fine?

    I have a SSRS report that has a parameter driven drop down list to select a catagory for a report to run a summary for the category in Report Manager. When the report runs there are links to a sub report with more detailed information about the category summary. Firefox runs everything correctly up to this point.
    When I try to back arrow from the sub report Firefox skips the summary report page and reverts to the initial page where the sub category can be selected to run the summary report.
    Can you help? IE8 works well with this but has severe spped issues with reports that contain multiple selection parameters. Firefox handles the multiple parameters very fast but has the page back issue.

  • Bt Home Hub (fibre optic) can it work with my Time Capsule & Airport Express?

    I have just moved house after having no problems for years with my virgin cable I have now had to switch to Bt because cable is not available at my new address therefore I would like first and foremost to have my Time Capsule available to use as a hard drive, I am not too bothered about wi-fi as that comes from the bt hub, only thing is I am at a loss how the Time Capsule hard drive is not working. Also is there anyway the Bt Hub can connect/link to Time Capsule or even Airport Express.

    Your TC can be used bridged to the BTHub.. and plugged in by Ethernet.
    It is best to still use the TC wireless for the express to extend and you will find access easier.
    Always best to start with a factory reset when you do this.. The TC remembers too much from its last configuration.

  • Inserting data to a . SDF database (SQL Server Compact Edition connection)

    Hi, all.
    I'm working on a project that worked fine while connecting to SQL Server 2008. I used a connection string like this:
    Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
    Now, I've replaced all database connections in my project to work with SQL Server Compact Edition, and my connection string is something like this:
    Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=myDir\myDataBase.sdf; 
    After changing the type of connection, I'm getting an error on "DB Tools Insert Data.vi". This is what I get:
    Error -2147217872 occurred at NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
    Possible reason(s):ADO Error: 0x80040E30 Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: The given type name was unrecognized. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Create - Command.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
    This is a simplified block diagram (as I said, it worked perfectly while using SQL Server 2008 connection):
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Francisco

    Hi, Steve. Thanks for your answers.
    I worked around this problem by using directly a SQL query instead of this function (you were right, using DBTools Execute Query VI). But now I'm getting problems with other functions, when inserting data into the DB including NULL values.
    I make a SQL query like this using DBTools Execute Query VI:
    INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5, Column6) VALUES ('Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3', 'NULL', 'Value5', 'Value6') 
    and get the following error:
    ADO Error: 0x80040E07Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: A literal value in the command could not be converted to the correct type due to a reason other than data overflow. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Conn Execute.vi->INSERT (new) restricción (DBCT).vi->Restricciones a Base de Datos (DBCT).vi->Definir - editar restricciones.vi->Main.vi
    The same SQL query worked perfectly when using the SQL Server 2008 connection, so it's not a database structure issue.
    Could somebody please help me?

  • Transact-SQL debugger not working in SQL Server 2008: "...debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier..."

    I have recently installed SQL Server 2008. When I try to execute a query against an Access database, I receive this debugging error:
    "Unable to start Transact-SQL debugger. The Transact-SQL debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors)"
    Nor will the query execute; I get a transport-level error 0. Any thoughts?

    Hi Davidmhjr,
    >>Unable to start the Transact-SQL Debugger. The Transact-SQL Debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors).
    Have you tried to restart the server once you have installed SQL Server 2008? As Naomi N mentioned please check the version of SQL Server you are using.
    If you tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2008 SSMS, you would not be able to debug and get this error, it happens because T-SQL debugger includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side debugger components are installed
    with each instance of the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine. The client-side components are installed when you install the SQL Server 2008 client-side tools.
    So it works with SQL Server 2008 only so far. Another way is you can triy to use SQL Server 2005 SSMS to connect to SQL Server 2005.
    More information about configuration requirement to run T-SQL debugger as below, please refer:
    There are no configuration requirements to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management Studio is running on the same computer as the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. However, to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management
    Studio is running on a different computer from the instance of the Database Engine, you must enable program and port exceptions by using the Windows Firewall Control Panel application on both computers.
    On the computer that is running the instance of the Database Engine, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
    •Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
    •Add the program sqlservr.exe to the exceptions list. By default, sqlservr.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn, where InstanceName is MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, and the instance name for
    any named instance.
    •If the domain policy requires network communications to be done through IPsec, you must also add UDP port 4500 and UDP port 500 to the exception list.
    On the computer that is running SQL Server Management Studio, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
    •Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
    •Add program ssms.exe (SQL Server Management Studio) to the exceptions list. By default, ssms.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
    Hope it is helpful.

  • Instant Client with SQL Server - HELP!!

    G'day all...
    My goal is to connect to a server using Oracle Database version 8.1.7.4, from a server which does not have either Oracle Database or the full Oracle Client, preferrably using SQL Server DTS packages.
    With that said, I have installed instant client basic and instant client ODBC suppliment on our first development server using the instructions at the following link without any difficulties, although I do admit that I only have a tnsnames.ora file and not a sqlnet.ora file:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
    The trouble is, when I attempt to deploy it on any of our other servers it fails. When I attempt to connect using Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle in a DTS package in SQL Server I get the following error message:
    HResult of 0x8004005 (-2147467259) returned Unexpected error occurred. An error result was returned without an error message.
    (Note: This is seen on all other servers I've tried this on except for the first one).
    I have also tried setting up a System ODBC connection using the Instant Client driver but it returned this error message:
    Unable to connect
    SQLState=S1000
    [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
    In desperation I have also tried installing the Oracle RDB Driver and the Oracle 8.1.7.8.1.0 ODBC driver. Both appear to install successfully yet nothing seems to work.
    As far as I can tell,l these are the differences between the first server and the other servers:
    - First server is MS SQL Server 2000 version: 8.00.760, rest are 8.00.818
    - First server is running MS SQL Server Analysis services, rest are not
    - First server is MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server, rest are MS Windows 2000 Server
    So my first question: Does anyone know if the Instant Client tool works with SQL Server version: 8.00.818?
    My second question: Can anyone else suggest something that I haven't tried yet, short of installing the Full Oracle Client on this server? Not that I'm opposed to doing that, it's just that it's a last resort idea as of now...
    Please help - need to roll this into production soon...

    Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
    a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
    reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
    problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
    the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
    AuthenticationMethod=Type2
    If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
    it ever may help with some other problem.

  • Error Establishing Socket with SQL Server 2000

    I have a java application that uses JDBC to connect to a source of data.
    The application has been installed on many platforms using many different data sources, but one combination has beaten me.
    I am using Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise, when the application starts up it fails to connect to the database with the following message:
    [Microsoft][SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC] Error Establishing Socket
    I have looked at a lot of forums and tried many things but nothing has fixed the problem for me:
    To summarise:
    The URL I am using is jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://locahost:1433
    I have also tried using the name of the machine and it's actual IP address
    I have checked that TCP/IP is enabled and using the correct port (1433)
    Both SQL Server and Windows authentication are enabled and I can connect using both method from ODBC
    I can connect to it and use it with c#.net, vb.net and ODBC from the same machine
    I have installed the latest SQL Server 2000 service pack
    The application works with SQL Server 2000 Developer on Windows XP
    If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

    If you printed out the SQL state and error code that would be a bit more info:
    catch (SQLException e)
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.err.println("SQL state: " + e.getSQLState());
        System.err.println("SQL error: " + e.getErrorCode());
    }Maybe that will give you more detail as to exactly why this is happening.
    The only other thought I had was security. Maybe there's a permission to access the port that would have to be granted explicitly as part of M$'s new emphasis on security. You did say it was Windoze Server 2003. Maybe that's the difference between all the other installs and this one.
    No joy from me, sorry. - MOD
