If I have corrupted bkup exec SQl Databases will they be removed if I uninstall SQL express 2005 from add remove programs?

The only things running when I run SQL management are Windows internal Database and SQl browser.
Both BKexec and mssql server are broken and won't start
I can't seem to find a way to connect to or delete the databases
I am using an outdated backup exec 11d so I cannot get support from Symantec
I want to know if uninstalling sqlserver express through add remove programs will remove the corrupt databases
This is in order to reinstall backup exec

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that a backup tool (backup exec) is corrupt and and you want to reinstall this tool.
Uninstall SQL Server will not remove database files. Are the database files (data file .mdf and log file .log) or backup file (.bak) still available in your disk? If the database files or backup file is not corrupted, you can attach or restore
the database form these files after you reinstall SQL Server.

  • 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.

  • Transferring 3 SQL databases from both SQL Express 2005 and Standard to a new physical server

    I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.
    I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
    Here is the breakdown of the servers:
    1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
    2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
    3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
    **The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
    Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server?
    I have researched this online and I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit. I cannot find anything online that I feel confident
    in trying. Please help me, as I have this migration deadline of this weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello,
    You may choose between using backup/restore or using detach/attach methods to migrate the databases.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858(v=sql.90).aspx
    You can transfer logins using the following article.
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/918992
    To decide if you migrate to Express Edition or to another edition, please review the features supported by each edition. For instance, Express Edition does not support jobs (SQL Server Agent is not available).
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.100).aspx
    Hope this helps.

  • Copy SQL Express DB from one server to another

    backup, copy to new machine and restore; fix up user securities on new machine; set up maintenance plans; set up applications to point to new database (or if use DNS, no change..) step and repeat - of course during non-use time frame - my 2 cents

    Looking for a good way to move a SQL express DB from an instance on one server to a SQL express instance on another server.  I have the ability to connect to both through SSMS.  Because these are express instances, I don't have the option to just copy the DB.  Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, the connection string is not dependant upon the software

  • Website can't communicate with db - SQL Express 2005

    Here's the error message: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
    Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
    Server]Invalid object name.
    I have successfully connected to the db through coldfusion
    admin. I can see the tables in SQL Express 2005, manipulate them,
    etc... When I fire up my website, I get that error. I can't figure
    out how to solve this and I'm desperate at this point.
    Thanks for any help.

    Lol - I figured it out 5 minutes after I posted this (3 hours
    after this started). I had the driver pointing to the master
    database instead of the 'real' db beneath it. I had changed the
    settings previously, but they didn't take hold until I rebooted the
    server.
    ... will this MS nightmare never end? This is why I went to
    CF in the first place. CF works. MS is a series of endless
    patches.

  • SQL Express 2005

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if SAP B1 can run on SQL Express 2005 db. An error occurs when creating the tables for new db. Could it be access rights?
    Thanks.

    We have the same problem on a SQL Server 2005 9.00.4035.00.  Windows 2003, SP2.
    I am not able to use the SQL Server Configuration Manager or Surface Area Configuration Manager tools.  When I open them, I get the error messages excerpted below:
    Configuration Manager:  Cannot connect to WMI provider......The specified module could not be found.
    Surface Area Configuration (both options):  .....An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service (Microsoft.sqlserver.smo).  Failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.Sqlserver.SmoEnum)........
    This must have happened sometime in the past few weeks, because it worked a few weeks ago.  It works fine on all the other SQL 2005 servers.  If the server is changed to another sql server, using the tool on the problem server, it works fine.  If I log onto another server, and change the tool to point to this problem server, it gives the same error messages.  SQL Services and the WMI service are started.  Rebooting does not affect it.  I tried the mofcomp suggestion with no effect.  None of the suggestions in this thread above have solved this issue.
    Do you think reinstalling Client Tools might solve it?  I do not know if these configuration tools are installed with database engine or client tools.

  • Unable to install SQL Express 2005 on W7 Pro machine

    I am trying load a Toshiba Telecom application on a W7 Pro 64bit machine. The application has SQL Express 2005 embedded and will not install completely.  I downloaded the SQL Express 2005 SP3 from MS and it comes up during the installation and states
    that the PC does not have the proper hardware requirements and that it cannot install because of the wrong ASP file. The machine is an i7 with 16GB ram and 1.7TB hard drive. Can anyone help? I have the same application loaded on other W7 Pro machines with
    no problem.

    Hi Patriot76,
    According to your description, you fail to install SQL Server 2005 express SP3. Please help to post the complete setup error log here for analysis. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    In addition, please confirm if your SQL Server is installed successfully.
    For the hardware requirements, please make sure that your disk has at least 600 MB of available hard disk space. To install SQL Server 2005 express SP3 successfully, please pay attention to the points below.
    1.Make sure that you have administrative rights on the computer.
    2.Make sure that Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later is installed. If you do not have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed, you must download and install it before you install SP3.
    3.Make sure that you install 64-bit SQLEXPR.EXE based on your 64-bit operation system.
    4.Make sure that you stop all applications and services that make connections before you install SP3.

  • My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.)  If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
    However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different.  You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

    If this does not help enable strace and check out from which location libodbc.so is being loaded.

  • Failing to connect SQL Server 2005 from SAP

    I'm trying to connect SQL database to write some data to an external sql table. But it's failing giving below message,
    Error Message returned from "ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION" program:
    Testing a Database Connection Defined in DBCON        
    Could not open connection EACT_MESSAGES               
    sql error          1- occured:                        
    Login timeout expired                                                                               
    I can connect from .NET Applications using the same connection string configuration.
    What could be the reason for this.
    Do I need to enable some service for this in SQL server. I have enabled all possible SQL related services.
    But still no luck.

    I found a solution..
    Instead putting the server name, used IP address which is static. that solved the issue.

  • Error connecting to SQL  server 2005 from Dreamweaver 8

    Hi I have a database in SQL server 2005.I just started using
    dreamweaver's server behaviours.When I use the "log in" behaviour I
    get the following error.
    Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0401)
    Expected end of statement
    /MyBlog/Connections/connBlog.asp, line 9, column 38
    MM_connBlog_STRING = Provider=SQLOLEDB;workstation

    source="FAZ-F6EE655890B\SQLEXPRESS";persist security
    info=False;initial catalog=MyBlog;
    -------------------------------------^
    First thing that came to my mind was obviously my database
    conn isnot right but when I define a conn using the built in
    dreamweaver's dialogue and test it, it says that the test
    succeeded.Also in the dialogue for the "login page" it shows the
    values of fields from the database, so it is definitely connecting
    to the database.So I don't know why am i getting this error.Please
    someone help!

    See if this TechNote helps:
    ASP error "VBScript compilation error '800a0401' "
    http://www.adobe.com/go/15717
    Are you using the ASP VBScript server model?
    Try creating a simple recordset that displays all records
    from a table and
    see if you can get that to work. It's less complex code than
    the user
    authentication server behavior and might help to isolate the
    problem.

    Hello Mohan,
    Which installer have you used, may be this one here
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM ? As you can see in the "Details" it applys only for the Commercial Editions, you can not use it for the free Express.
    For Express Edition you have to use this one:
