Cannot connect SQL Server 2012 express

Dear Sir,
I install SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 8 Pro. I try to connect to it from another Windows 8 machine but it fails.
The SQL is set to allow remote connection, TCP/IP port is set to 1433 and add to exception list on Windows Firewall. But it fails to connect. 
I try to turn on the SQL Browser service, it fails to connect.
I even turn off the Windows Firewall on SQL Server 2012 machine, it still fails.
Please help !

SQLState 01000
SQL Server Error 67
ODBC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB ConnectionOpen
SQLState 08001
SQL Server Error 17
ODBC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB SQL Server does not exist or deny access
The SQL server is started and can connect locally from SSMS.
I still somehow think this is issue with How exception is configured in firewall.Can you take help of below link and follow the step

  • Reports & Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB support policy

    Hello,
    Willing to move some databases into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2014) Express LocalDB, I have tryed to map some reports on that database.
    Using OLE DB SQL Native Client (v11) and SAP CR RunTime SP10 (>SP9), I still have trouble when using this data source:
    After drawing some simple reports (standard ones with 2-3 fields from the database):
    - VS designer:
    + when "checking database" or "getting a preview" of the report, it always complains about missing tables.
    + when trying to "re-map" tables from one SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB to another one it fails, complaining about not findind resources.
    - Running application (.NET 4.0, 32 or 64-bits):
    + without any change to the report configuration: CR Viewer complains with multiple error codes (17, ...) that it cannot find the tables
    + trying to change the configured database from the report: CR VIewer complains with some more error codes
    => Is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB now officially supported by CR ?
    => Is changing datasource/database configuraton during execution now officially supported by CR ?
    Feel free to provide an any links / howto's / white paper about how managing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB with SAP CR !
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Don,
    I did not want you to think that I am not willing to change anything...
    The issue is that LocalDB specs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130822(v=sql.110).aspx) are not (seems not) fulfiled by what SAP APIs provide.
    Following specs, I need to provide ADO DB/SQL Native Client v11 an "AttachDBFileName" property which, for LocalDB instance, is equal to the DatabaseName property (check below screenshot from MS Mgmt Studio connected to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB instance).
    Moreover, OLEDB discovery provide in CR 2013 UI this same list of "DatabaseName":
    When connected, this same CR 2013 UI got the right "view" of connected "MDF-labelled" names:
    Moreover, CR connected datasource properties also provide an "initial catalog" (databasename) value with that "MDF-labelled" name:
    That is what I saw previously in API dumped objects and what I tryed to reproduce in my code:
    As previously explained, after adding tables, I am also beeing able to add fields from those tables in my fresh-new report document:
    It fikrst shows results in preview but as soon as I try to refresh / add some more fields / ask CR to "check database" / "change database source", the interface always complain about having "lost" objects:
    Site note for Ludek Uher: CR 2013 StandaAlone fresh-new builded reports are not working neither using CR runtime SP10 when opening/updating that report..
    So YES, I am OK to change whatever is required but please explain me what to use/put into the "crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName" property for a SQL Express 2012 LocalDB case.
    Or leave it as is, LocalDB not being supported by CR ...
    (all my reports & c# code are working well while using SQL Express 2012 "classic" (not localdb)).
    Thanks again for your time.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    it seems that the download links for Sql Server 2012 Express Edition is broken for the english version.

    I am able to download a german version from:

  • SQL Server 2012 Express bulk Insert flat file 1million rows with "" as delimeter

    Hi,
    I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am on SQL server 2012 express. I cannot use OPENROWSET because my system is x64 and my Microsoft office suit is x32 (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0).
    So I used Import wizard and is not working either. 
    The only thing that let me import this large file, is:
    CREATE TABLE #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
    Column1
    varchar(100), Column2 varchar(100), Column3 varchar(100),
    Column4 nvarchar(max)
    BULK INSERT
    #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
    FROM 'C:\FolderBigFile\LARGEFLATFILE.txt'
    WITH 
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t',
    ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
    The problem with CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT is that my flat file comes with text qualifiers - "". Is there a way to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert? Below is the data. 
    Column1
    Column2
    Column3
    Column4
    "Socket Adapter"
    8456AB
    $4.25
    "Item - Square Drive Socket Adapter | For "
    "Butt Splice" 
    9586CB
    $14.51
    "Item - Butt Splice"
    "Bleach"
    6589TE
    $27.30
    "Item - Bleach | Size - 96 oz. | Container Type"

    Hi lgnusLumen,
    According to your description, you use BULK INSERT to import data from a data file to the SQL table. However, to be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:
    1. Data fields never contain the field terminator.
    2. Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").
    In your data file, the quotes aren't consistent, if you want to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert, I recommend you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard tools in SQL Server Express version. area, it will allow to strip the
    double quote from columns, you can review the following screenshot.
    In other SQL Server version, we can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import data from a flat file (.csv) with removing the double quotes. For more information, you can review the following article.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1316/strip-double-quotes-from-an-import-file-in-integration-services-ssis/
    In addition, you can create a function to convert a CSV to a usable format for Bulk Insert. It will replace all field-delimiting commas with a new delimiter. You can then use the new field delimiter instead of a comma. For more information, see:

    Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1
    64-bit
    I just installed SQL Server 2012 express - Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search),
    file name -  SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.
    Opening SQL Server Management Studio causes the error -

    Do I need to install another file? Did I download the wrong version?
    Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    The issue may occure when the installation of your SQL Server is not a complete or a successful one. Did you try to repair or reinstall the SQL Server Express?  You can also try to install
    Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012
    to check if the issue presists.

  • VB 2012 Express and SQL server 2012 Express

    My Windows 7 computer just crashed and I am trying to resurrect my VB 2012 Express code.  I have been using Access 2007 but lost my license info and installation media, so I am considering a change to SQL server 2012.  I have downloaded it, but
    I haven't a cue as to how to use it.  I need to convert my old Access 2007 data and then connect the result to my VB 2012 code.
    Please help.
    RONATMOODYLAKE

    I know how to use a database engine, but what I downloaded as SQL server 2012 Express seems to be something else.  I am in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> and things don't work well here.  I
    have an app that says SQL error and usage reporting, and when I answer the questions nothing happens.  This must not be the SQL 2012 Server Express (or is it?).  Maybe you can point me to a useful download link.  What I have is totally obscure.
    Here is my goal:  I have a completed VB 2012 project that uses Access 2007.  My Windows 7 computer crashed and I am desperately trying to move the application to a Windows 8 machine.  I do not
    have my installation disks for Access, so I thought I would give SQL server a try.  I obviously downloaded the wrong thing.  The Microsoft web site gives me the following download choices - none of these make sense and they are not explained - please
    help - I downloaded the first one and it seems useless:

  • SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

    I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
    and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
     A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe.   But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
    not amongst them.
    Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

    A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe.   But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
    not amongst them.
    The tool is located in
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn

  • SQL SERVER 2012 EXPRESS EDITION

    Good Day;
    May I know if sql server 2012 express edition is compatible with visual basic 2008 express edition? thank you!

    Hello,
    Compatible in which way? There is no direct relation between Visual Studio and SQL Server, from .NET you can connect to any Version of SQL Server.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express on Window 8.1 64 bit version?

    Hi,
    I´m trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 8.1 64 bit version. When I reach the point of "Installing Setup Files", of the installation process, the installation seems to halt. I´ve tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of SQL 2012
    Express. I´ve installed SQL 2012 Express several times before on other Windows versions but I´ve never encountered this problem. Is it a known SQL Server 2012 Express/Windows 8.1 64 bit compability problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    Martin

  • SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows Embedded 8 Standard

    Hello,
    I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, downloaded from MS website) on Windows Embedded 8 Standard 64-bit. But, when I try to find SQL Server Management Studio, I realized it's not installed (same installation
    package works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit laptop, where SSMS gets installed). How do I fix this? And any other ways for trouble-shooting DBs on Windows Embedded 8 Standard?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Below is the content of a summary file for the installation. BTW, I also try to find its ConfigurationFile.ini file for future installation on other computers, but it's not in the folder specified in the summary file either (see below).
    Thanks.

  • Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

    Hi,
    I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
    Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
    My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
    As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
    So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
    Thanking you in advance! 

    Hi Soumya,
    Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

    I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application.  I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance.  The SQL instance
    is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have.  Is that why it is not discovered?  All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
    instances.  I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
    - System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
    - SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
    - SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
    - SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM.  Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
    - Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
    - No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
    - No overrides are set on the discovery
    - Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

    Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP.  Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.
