SQL 2005 Express on WE POSReady 7

Hi all
We have an issue spwaning with a SQL Express 2005 SP3 on POS machines running WE POSReady7
After running smoothly for over 1 year x4 units over the last 2 months have developed an issue where the SQL engine stops running and wont restart - gives a timeout error when trying to start the service.
I have tried to start sql via cmd line with various traceflags to stop the tempdb being cleared etc.. out but the service will still not start.
this is the issue in SQL logs:
2014-03-11 09:51:38.41 spid5s      Starting up database 'mssqlsystemresource'.
2014-03-11 09:51:38.48 spid5s      The resource database build version is 9.00.4035. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

Anyhoo that is the main issue, but i am really asking here is when i try untinstall SQL it uninstalls OK but then re-installs itself after a short period! :S ! is there anything with this version of the OS that could be causing this?????
I removed all components from the Programs & Features > within 5min its back in there, start menu folders back, SQL mgmt console is back etc....I noticed after the uninstall is finished it i see the MSIEXEC process still running.
Ive tried to end the msiexec.exe process after uninstalling finishes and install SQL Express 2005 SP4 it gets part way through and then errors out.
rebooting has made no difference, have tried a number of things. I have ruled out a GPO and login script reinstalling SQL
thoughts?

Is the database file you are access corrupted ?
Have you tried any of the latest edition of SQL Express?

IPC 4.0 Standalone with SQL 2005 Express as a database

Hello,
I am trying to setup IPC 4.0 standalone up for a training class on a XP laptop with SQL 2005 Express as the database. I keep getting login errors connecting the IPC admin.bat tool to the sql database. And yes, I know this is not 'officially' supported by SAP, but I see no technical reason why it shouldn't work and yes my port is correct. My entries are as such:
Alias: 00_230
Server: localhost
System: Microsoft SQL Server
Database Name: 00_230
port: 1433
User: ipc
password: hidden
client: 230
Is everything I entered correct? Am I missing anything that I need?
Thanks!

Hi Jeff.
You will probably have problems with the database subsystem, when you upgrade to UccX7.0.1 if the 3rd party database is af SQL2k5 server.
There is a fix for that problem, check below :
Upgrading UCCX to 7.0(1)Sr4 is failing ODBC connection to SQL 2005.
Symptom:
Upgrading the UCCX server to 7.0(1) Sr4 and OS to 2003.1.4a SR11 is failing the ODBC connection to SQL 2005 external database. (also a problem in new installations)
The error generated when trying to setup a ODBC connection to SQL 2005 database is
======
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
=======
Conditions:
Upgrade to UCCX 7.0(1) Sr3 or 4 and OS upgrade to 2003.1.4a SR11
Workaround:
Work around:
a) In UCCX SQL Server 2000 - Start the Client Network Utility. (cliconfg.exe is used from MSDE versions of UccX)
b) On the General tab, add TCP/IP in the list under Enabled protocols by order. (make sure its first)
c) Click the Alias tab, and then click Add. Under Network libraries, select TCP/IP.
d) In the Server name text box, type the IP address of the server that is running SQL Server
2005.
Note:
If port other that 1433 is being used Click the check box to clear the Dynamically determine port option, and then type the port number of the instance of SQL Server 2005 in the Port number text box.

B1i (2005) installation failedSo far: windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok

Dear All,
I try to install B1i for NW 2005 on a SBO 2005B installation. I have installed all prerequisites like JDK, MSXML, Tomcat (no blanks in path). When running the setup program and after all information gathered, the connection to the MS-SQL 2005 database succeeds and the final installation step starts but returns the message:
"Initail database failed, make sure Tomcat or mini-http is shut down and please check your database's status and try again"
Looking into MS-SQL shows a database beeing created named localhost/B1i. Tomcat and mini-http are definately shut down. When starting Tomcat, it is accessible via http://localhost:8080.
System Parameters:
windows server 2003
SBO 2005B
java: 1.4.2.19
tomcat 5.5.27 including compat package for 1.4.2.19)
sql jdbc 1.2.2828.100
msxml 4.0 SP 2
I can not find an error in the system. Is there a way to diagnose what is happening and does anyone have an idea where the problem lies?
Ciao, Mathias
[Update]
I have tried JDBC 2.0.1008 and JDBC 2.0.1607 - both lead to a fatal error when trying to connect to the database. I assume this is due to Java JDK 1.4.2 as JDBC requires Java 5.0 (1.5.0)
Does anybody know if I can use JDK 1.5.0_17 instead of 1.4.2_19?
[Update 2]
I have tried to install the B1i on two other servers with identical setup and it worked. However, this will not help me with this machine... On the other side, it shows, that there is nothing wrong with the procedure I am using
I found by the way: B1i works fine with MSSQL 2005 Express, it works with jdk 1.5.0.17 (and then JDBC 2.0)
[Update 3]
So far:
windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok
windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express, SBO2005A: ok
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005A: fail
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005B: fail
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2007A: ok
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 Netweaver 2004S: fail
Unfortunately the three servers where it fails are the ones I need to use for production
The precise error state is that the install routine creates the database in SQL 2005 and then reports that it can not create the database. Is there something I should check in SQL 2005?
Edited by: Mathias Wilhelm on Feb 11, 2009 5:17 PM

Salut Eddy,
I tried it with tomcat 5.0.30 - no success. JDK is 1.4.2.19
I tried it with tomcat 5.5.27 - no success. JDK was 1.4.2.19 and 1.5.17
I checked the database: The structure is created but the tables are not created. As the user 'sa' has full admin rights it must be with the access path to the database that is wrong. What I do not understand is, why the installation routine is able to connect to the database to create B1i and then unable to create the tables. I checked in the log files of the db and found no error messages. I tested this as well by using a wrong password for sa or a wrong user. In both cases, the installation routine fails already when checing the existence of B1i database
[Update]
In the meantime:
Checked permissions on database
Checked that administrator is member of local admin group
Checked JAVA_HOME environment variable
Found collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS for working setup and SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS in failing setup
Checked all security settings by comparing to working setup
Checked event viewer and found no errors
Checked all log files and found no errors
Checked that sa can create tables manually in localhost\B1i

ESM - SQL 2005 Express

I am currently installing ESM and was wondering if SQL 2005 Express can be
used or does it require the full version of SQL 2005?
Thanks,
Ron

Ron,
While it may work, SQL 2005 Express is not supported. Standard or Enterprise Edition is required. See the Installation Guide for details of requirements before installing:

SQL 2005 Express will not start

Service just would not start after a reboot I have approximately 30 clients this has happened to basically out of the blue and they started happening approximately 6/17/2014. The SQL log and event log errrors are below. Uninstall reinstall only fails, switching

This is what I found by someone else;
I know it's probably too late to help with the original poster, but we had this same issue and nothing we tried resolved the problem. Finally, we opened a technical incident with Microsoft and this is the solution that we were provided:
Take backup of below registry key.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid This key should ideally have the GUID of the machine without curly braces, so {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} becomes xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Then delete the braces.
Try to reboot and start the SQL service . If service don’t start then Uninstall and reinstall SQL.
The above solution worked on two separate machines exhibiting this problem.

Replacing a SQL Server 2005 Express Database with a SQL CE 3.5 database

I am just googling for the past few days to find out the answer to this problem..
I have an app developed over few man-years of effort - with vb.net and SQL 2005 Express Db. Now we use VS 2010 sp1 with .net 3.5 sp1. We have used plain T-SQL commands and the app was performing admirably well. The DB has about forty tables. The data
volume is about 200 to 300 mb max - but mainly it stays about 50 to 60 mb in many places. We are also using XML data transfers to backup the data.
Now we want to shift to SQL CE 3.5 or 4.0 - just to avoid the pain of SQL Express download and installation by the users. We have successfully created a 3.5 and 4.0 sdf files. But when we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file in the VS2010 settings
area, it just goes fine - the connection string is accepted and the app starts. But we get the usual error no 26 - unable to locate the database file - and a five line message that it is not able to connect to the sql server.
Are we missing something ? We have included the sqlce dll in the references.. but just not able to make the app connect to the sdf file..
All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app - but just we are not able to connect to the sdf database.
We would appreciate help in this regard and also in doing a build with SQL Ce with Inno Setup which we have been using so long.
Finally there is too much of SQL CEs around - but 3.5, 3.5 sp2 and now CE 4.0 seems to be ones to go in for. Which one is really the best for our app - 3.5 or 4.0 ?
Thanks in advance.

we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file ... All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app...
Agree with Erik, just changing the connection string don't work, you have to use data access components from
System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace instead of
System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

SQL Server Express 2005 to 2014 upgrade and Uninstallation issues

We have client application running SQL Server Express that connects to a SQL Server 2012 server. We are attempting to upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express to Microsoft SQL Server 2014
express – but are having difficulties – especially with uninstall.
Our understanding is that we needed to follow the following steps:
    First we install Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP4 as required silently
Start /wait SQLEXPR.exe /qn ACTION=UPGRADE INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS" UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SAPWD=<password>
SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLPASSWORD= SECURITYMODE="SQL"
    Then try upgrading with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 express, we use following command to do it silently
SQLEXPR.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /ISSVCAccount="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
We see following
    In Control Panel -> Uninstall or change program, we have all the instances listed 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2014.
    How do we uninstall the instance? , We try uninstalling 2014
But it is not cleanly uninstalled.
Questions:
    Is there any way for clean upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP3 to Microsoft SQL 2014 express?
    Is there any specific steps suggested to uninstall upgraded SQL 2014 express from system?
    Are we doing anything wrong in commands for silent upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
After you perform an in-place upgrade it’s normal to find the binaries and references of the old version of SQL Server on the Start Menu and Control Panel -> Programs and Features. That’s by design. After you have successfully upgraded an instance, you can
remove the old binaries.
IfIf you find some remnants after uninstalling SQL Server 2014, please perform the following steps to manually uninstall it:
1. Uninstall all SQL Server 2014 components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and
Features
2. Backup the registry.
3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete
all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing
SQL Server.
6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.
Hope this helps.

Setting up datasource for MS SQL SERVER 2005 Express

Can anyone offer me a little help
I have SQL 2005 Express Edition installed on the same machine
as CF
I've been into it and enabled TCP/IP and NAMED PIPES
I've set TCP port to 1433
I've created a login account called CF and enabled both SQL
and Windows authentication
I've created a database called coldfusionDB
I've set windows firewall to make an exception for that port
In CF Administrator I'm using the supplied Microsoft SQL
driver. Can someone tell me what to put in the fields for the
datasource ? I have the following:
Port = 1433
DATABASE = coldfusionDB
SERVER = DESKTOP\SQLEXPRESS
the Error I'm getting back from CF Administrator is:
* Connection verification failed for data source:
cfclientstore
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver][Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]The requested instance is
either invalid or not running.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.

Try:
Server = localhost\sqlexpress
Database = coldfusionDB
Port = 1433
Also verify that the SQL server service has started.

Connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express

Hi All,
Have gone through the forums but can't seem to fix this problem.
I'm running DW 8 and ASP.NET VB pages (XP Pro, IIS 5.1) and cannot get DW to connect to SQL 2005 Express. Please see attached error message.
I have no problem connecting when I'm in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express.
The settings in DW when I have a ASP.Net page open are;
"Persist Security Info=False;
Data Source=[mycomputer];
Initial Catalog=[mydatabase];
User ID=[myuser];
Password=[*************]"
Would appreciate someone's wisdom here, I much prefer to use DW than VWD!!
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft SQL 2005 preload problem

Hi Guys,
First post! I took receipt of my W520 a few weeks ago. It is great, very pleased with it on the whole.
There is one problem, however. I play a fair amount of recreational card games over the internet. This requires a program which converts the text file “hand histories” into postgreSQL server data to make it quickly readable and provide tracking for win/loss among a whole host of other statistical things.
Unfortunately after going through their troubleshooting numerous times, going through factory restore and repeating the process, I still cannot get my SQL server to automatically start. Believe me, I have tried everything. Running them all as admin, editing the startup in the windows “services” dialog etc etc. The server does start manually and the program works fine, but every time I start it I have to do it manually and it is irritating. It should just start up in the background but it doesn’t.
I believe it is the Microsoft SQL 2005 express that is somehow blocking the auto start. Basically, I want my Lenovo as it is, just without the preloaded SQL server. Using the factory restore just reloads it back on and when I manually uninstall the SQL server I still have the same problem. I believe it leaves a lot of little nuggets behind when you uninstall it through the standard W7 “uninstall a program” and the full uninstall looks a long and difficult process, with no guarantee of really removing everything.
So, the plan is to install a bare copy of W7 using a borrowed disk, install my own personal SQL program and test to see if that works. I am almost certain it will. From there, I plan to build back my programs on top so I essentially have my PC now, bar the bundled SQL 2005 express or whatever it is. Following this I will make a system image and store it away safely to avoid all this mess and only reinstall using the factory disks if absolutely necessary.
I have my W7 OEM serial, found using a serial grabber. Obviously I didn’t pay all this money to scrap all the useful thinkvantage tools like “airbag” and basic fingerprint/camera drivers etc. I also like the realtime warranty countdown timer. How should I go about this task? Is all I need is the PC serial underneath to reload thinkvantage at a later date with full functionality? Is there anything I should consider before starting?
If there is a better subforum to post this question in, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Nick

What is service dependency?
Yes I tried to make a batch file. Not in startup folder, but one on the desktop that had the right path. This returned an error from the statistical program and not the SQL server. It initially looked hopeful as I had it start up the "start server" option for the right SQL server. This opened up the dos window and said it had correctly started. However, when the stats program launched it hung up on loadscreen and returned an error message. Not sure why this was, but it didn't seem to like being loaded through a .bat.
This seems like a work around more than a solution anyway. I just want to get it to work properly.
Here is the thread in the database analaysis program forum for your reference.

Error in Connecting to MS SQL 2005 via JDBC Driver

Here's the setup
CF MX7 resides on a centOS wid Apache 2.0 webserver box.
I need to established a datasource connection between the
Coldfusion server and a MSSQL 2005 Express+SP1 database sitting on
a remote XP wid SP2 setup.
I've also downloaded and installed on the /lib folder of the
CFMX7 server the corresponding JDBC drivers (versions 1.1 and 1.0)
for the MS SQL server.
The thing is, this problem always occurs:
Connection verification failed for data source:
datasourcename
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for
JDBC]Error establishing socket.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing
socket.
The datasource connection info is as follows:
CF Datasource Name: datasourcename_JDBCdriver
JDBC URL:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.0.47:1433;DatabaseName=nameofdatabase
Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Driver Name: mssql2005
Username: sa
Password: userdefinedpassword
I've already tried these settings:
* Enabled mix mode of authentication under the SQL server
* Affix a /MSSQLSERVER instance name on the jdbc url setting
"jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.0.47\MSSQLSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=nameofdatabase"
but a different error had occured:
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance
is either invalid or not running.
so i remove it since its only an optional setting
* Configured the SQL 2005 Express, under the SQL Server
Configuration Manager, to listen to protocol TCP/IP under port 1433
(this is the ONLY ENABLE protocol)
I've checked using Telnet and netstat and the SQL service is
normally listening to the said port.
* Disabled windows firewall under XP (came with SP2)
and even tried using other JDBC drivers such as:
* macromedia drivers
* jtds driver
but to no avail.
Is the problem still within the MS SQL 2005 Express wid
XP+SP2 box or a connecting issue on the Cf server under the
centOS/Apache machine?
A little help would do wonders just about now.

I had the same problem, but do not have express version. In
the configuration manger, I viewed the properties of the enabled
tcp/ip protocol. On the IP addresses tab, I found that though the
IPs were enabled, the drop down beside active was no. I changed all
to yes, applied it and restarted my instance. Then in the cf
datasource I left the port blank and everything worked.

MS SQL 2005 remote connection using sqljdbc

Hi,
I have production line computer with software using java code and firebird database, i also have sqljdbc.jar also in the library.
my software is trying to connect to mssql2005 database in a remote computer and got this error message:
java.lang.classnotfoundexception: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.
I have no problem when connecting to my local mssql2005 database though. but have problems when trying to make remote connection.
May i know what could seem to be the cause of the problem, is there anything missing ? do i need to instal anything else on the production line computer? currently it does not have mssql2005 instal on the production computer do i need to instal it ? please help. thanks

Hi,
Im using MS SQL 2005 Express edition, I dont find any sqljdbc.jar driver inside the installation,
I dont see any other driver or driver folder in the installation path.
Inside my instalation path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server: only shows these folders
MSSQL$MSSQL2000
MSSQL.1

100
"Class path" applies to java. None of the above is java.
I dont know what to set my classpath with?You are running your java in "something". That "something" is an application. That "something" does not have the correct class path. You didn't tell us what it is so we can't help you with it.
I even download sqljdbc.jar and put it inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and set the classpath but doesnt work ?I suggest you google for class path, read several articles about it and try some of the stuff that they talk about.

Cant get CFADmin to verify datasource w/ SQL 2005

OK I've been beating my head against the wall for a week
trying to figure out why could fusion wont recoginze my datasource.
I'm running vista, sql 2005 express and cf 8 devleopers
edition.
Heres the error:
* Connection verification failed for data source: TestDB
An exception occurred when executing method verifydatasource.
The cause of this exception was that:
coldfusion.sql.Executive$ConnectionVerificationFailedException:
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC

either invalid or not running..
SQLCritUpdPkg_ENU
What does this mean?...
Here's what I tried so far to resolve this:
1. enabled tcp/ip in sql config manager, verfied that it's
using port 1433 in IPALL
2. telnet 127.0.0.1 1433 - that works ok
3. dowloaded SQLCritUpdPkg_ENU.exe and installed it - I read
on a fourm somewhere that this disabled some ports due to a worm..
but i dont think that was the problem anyway since i ping'd 1433
and it was ok
4. And yes I've logged in directly to SQL server using the
u/p..
and I've changed the security settings in SQL to use both sql
server and windows authenticaion
Any help from anyone would be awesome..
PS: I've also gotten this same error when I had CFMX 7
installed...

Interesting. I was extremely clear. Short & concise w/ minimal irritation as compared to how I feel.
My subject tells what's going on. The commentary states how I got there. Pretty straight forward.
Maybe if you do not understand the question, you shouldn't reply?

SQL Server 2008 R2 Std with SQL Server 2005 Express Subscriptions

If we have SQL Server 2005 Express Merge Replication Subscriptions that synch to a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. Do
the Subscriptions still have same file size limitations even though they synch to a Proper Standard Version of SQL Server 2008?
If so what are these limitations?
What happens in the instance where by the server file becomes huge then the Subscriptions will not allow the data to replicate
as the Express Subscription engine has a file size limitation - or does this not matter??

You will get messages on your SQL Server Express servers that the merge agent cannot write to the SQL Express database. These messages are difficult to debug as you don't get a warning you have exceeded the size limit on the subscriber.
