SQL Server 2005 Express DSN File

I'm converting to sql server 2005, my orignal DSN file sql server 7 looked like the following
[ODBC]
DRIVER=SQL Server
UID=sa
DATABASE=PCX-MEMS-SCANS
APP=Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
SERVER=PCX-DATABASE
the new one is SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2005
[ODBC]
DRIVER=SQL Server
UID=sa
DATABASE=PCX-MEMS-SCANS
APP=Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
SERVER=PCX-DATABASE\\SQLEXPRESS
I get an error when I try to connect to the database.

Hi jtibbetts,
Could you be more specific? Are you using LabVIEW, CVI, Visual Studio, the Database Connectivity Toolset? What error are you seeing (error code number, description)?

Connect to SQL Server 2005 Express MDF file

Post Author: ims_user
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Is it possible to connect directly to a SQL Server 2005 Express MDF file? Every time I select SQL Native Client it expects me to put in a server name etc, but there is no where to put in a file name or connection string. My application connects to this file directly using this in the connection string
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=
I now need to report on the data it contains.
Many thanks.

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.

JDBC with Sql Server 2005 Express

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have a java web application that ran on Tomcat using sql server 2000 db. In my configuration file the driver and server url were
dbDriver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
dbServerUrl="jdbc:inetdae7:ECCOLWXPSDE:1433?database=eclife"
Now this worked fine.
Now i am using Sql server 2005 express, so i changed the configurations to the following
dbDriver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
dbServerUrl="jdbc:inetdae7:ECCOLWXPSDE\\SQLEXPRESS:1433?
database=eclife"
But it doesnt work. It doesnt create a connection. Gives a No Connection Exception when trying to use
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbServerUrl, username, password);
Please tell me what else needs to be done. Or is there a problem connecting to express via jdbc and sprinta.
Thankyou for your time
Shirantha.

Both my Tomcat and Express 2005 are in the local machine. There is not networking involved. What i want to know is what is the different thing that is to be done from sql server 2000 to express 2005.
In sql server 2000, i have it like :
theDbDriver=com.inet.tds.TdsDriver
theDbServer=jdbc:inetdae7:ECCOLWXPSDE:1433?database=eclife
and this works FINE
Now i have uninstalled it and installed sql server 2005 EXPRESS, i have it like :
theDbDriver=com.inet.tds.TdsDriver
theDbServer=jdbc:inetdae7:ECCOLWXPSDE\\SQLEXPRESS:1433?database=eclife
and connection is not happening.
thanks for your time

Can't Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express Tools

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Trial and receive the follow error during installation.
"The SQL Server 2005 Express Tools are installed. To continue, remove the SQL Server 2005 Express Tools."
I have used Add or Remove programs to remove all components of SQL Server 2005 Express. I have even reinstalled the Workstation Tools of SQL Server 2005 just so I could indiviually remove those tools, and then completly removed the SQL 2005 installation.
I have used regedit to search for any instance of SQL Server 2005, there is none.
There is still an entry for SQL Server Mangement Express in my all programs listing. However trying to launch that program fails with errors, so it is partial still installed.
Can anyone tell me how to wipe out these last bits of SQL Server 2005 Express Tools? I have tried everything I have found searching this forum to no avail.
Bill

Renaming or deleting the registry key was the only solution for me. It is not eough to rename a sub-key, I found you must rename or remove the key at the level of "\90"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90
I have not tried every permutation but these are the previous steps in order that were NOT helpful.
Sometimes it is good to know what has been tried and does not work, so you do not spend time in dead ends.
These do NOT work
1. resolution at this link did not work for me although it worked for that person
"rename registry key "
http://jasonfollas.com/blog/archive/2008/06/19/sql-server-2008-rc0-install-sql2005ssmsexpressfacet.aspx
rename key from: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
to: ShellSEM.old
(If I had renamed \90 it might have succeeded)
2. solution at this link did not work for me although it worked for that person
"changing the Regional Settings of my computer"
http://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2008/02/22/840.aspx
3. reset.cmd
download and execute reset.cmd to reset many registry settings
Nope, no luck
4. download entire 2008 express package as an ISO file in the small chance any previous files were corrupted.
The ISO image was 744 meg, which can only be burned onto a double-layer disk.
Then I remembered I don't have a double-layer burner.
Duh.
5. removing 3rd party tools
- Remove SQL Server 2005 Express Tools
- Remove Red-Gate SQL Prompt if installed.
http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2008/08/14/quotThe-SQL-Server-2005-Express-Tools-are-installed.-To-continue.aspx
mainly because neither were actually listed in add/remove programs, nor was Red Gate in the registry
(or redgate, red-gate, red_gate)
6. "Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions"
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx
7. rename the instance of SQL Server 2008 when installing
Nope.
8. With Add/remove programs, remove
- sql server 2005
- anything else that had in the title "sql server 2005"
- sql server system clr types (which sounded sort of like a 3-rd party tool and I had not used it in a year)
- remove folder
c:\program files\microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server90
Nope, no luck
10. With a Microsoft tool "Windows Install Clean Up" inspect any add/remove programs that were removed and absolutely remove their install logs
Nope. So it was not due to any residual information from SQL Server 2005
11. With Add/remove programs, remove
- anything that has the title sql server 2008
and try to re-install, which did not work.
Finally found this thread and deleted the key and the installation succeeded.
It did not take 2 days, but almost.
This is a test, right? We have to navigate all the half-good information and actually succeed installing SQL Server 2008 then we earn the privilege to use it? Yay!

How to install mini SAP in MS SQL Server 2005 Express?

Hi, is anyone know how to install the mini SAP v4.6 by using MS SQL Server 2005 Express?
I get error when connecting to the Database at 88% of the installation.
Please help. Thank you.

I do not think you can install miniSAP 4.6D on MS SQL server 2005 express.
1) you need the up todate patch to run on MSSE. If SAP did the work to allow it to run, it would be patch 55+. As supplied it is patch zero.
2) You can install on MSDE (MS SQL server 2000) patch 4. Look for my post INFO: Installing MiniSAP 4.6D on a named instance of MSDE (MS-SQL).
3) after the install on MSDE SP4 you would have to change the database code page to 'BIN2' look for the OSS note.
4) then you can start patching through to the most recent.
The main reason you cannot do this is MS have changed the version key format to include '.6' as extra info which SAP cannot interprate, too many dots.

MS SQL Server 2005 - Express Edition?

I am interested to learn about database development for use
with CF dynamic development. Before I make any significant
financial investments I'm wondering if
MS SQL Server 2005
Express Edition is a reasonable place to start learning
about db development.
The Adobe ColdFusion 8 SYSTEMS SUPPORT MATRI X indicates
compatibility with: MS SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005 - Does this
compatibility include the FREE
MS SQL Server 2005
Express Edition ?
Does it bother MS that folks may want to use their db
solutions with a competitor's dynamic-development solutions? In
other words, are the compatible db products fully functional with
CF?

personally i like ms sql as i have always used it and am
familiar with it. I think mysql is the choice more for PHP
developers and I think CF works better with MS SQL. A definate
choice of preference though, i ilke the way i can install as many
instances as I like.
eg 1 for websites
1 for applications etc
there is merit in both but here in UK/Ireland mysql is not as
popular as MS SQL.

SQL Server 2005 Express Connection problems

Hello,
I have been trying for the past 2 hours to connect CFMX 8 to SQL Server 2005 Express on my windows7 laptop and it is throwing all kinds of errors.
"Connection verification failed for data source: sqlHPV
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLExpress
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLExpress"
Please I need help.

Try using an IP address instead of SQLExpress for the host name. If it is on the same box, use 127.0.0.1 and make sure SQLExpress in configured for IP communication.

DG4MSQL v11.2.0.1 certified with Sql Server 2005 Express Edition?

We are working on a proof of concept and need to use Oracle Database Gateway for MS Sql Server - DG4MSQL version 11.2 - on 64bit Linux to connect to a Windows database that is using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I reviewed the certification matrix for the database gateways and it lists that SQL Server 2005 is certified - but does not specify which editions.
We are having some problems connecting to the SQL Server database and want to make sure that we should be able to connect to the express edition.
Thanks.

Yes, DG4MSQL 11 is certified with SQL Server Express Edition.

Setup failed for SQL Server 2005 express edition [SQLEXPR.exe]

Good day All,
My client has already SQL Server 2005 SP3 installed. We are in process of providing him a new .net application but he wants existing version of SQL untouched. We asked him to install SQL Express version (SQLEXPR.exe) and configured web.config to local (.\SQLExpress).
However client is getting message -
"Setup failed.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.4035.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=sharedsetup%5csharedsetupactions.cpp%40LoadResourcesAction%40sqls%3a%3aLoadResourcesAction%3a%3aperform%400x0"
I am in a fix. What could have gone wrong? Clearly it has something to with already existing version. Just for information, client keeps his SQL services (using SQL Server Configuration Manager) in a stopped state. Could that be an issue?
Appreciate any one helping me out.
Thanks

SQL Server 2014 Express extract file parameter?

I am working to bundle SQL Server 2014 Express with an application. I am using the following command line to install via an InstallShield prerequisite: /qs /INSTANCENAME=MYINSTANCE /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES=SQLEngine,Conn,SSMS
/SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="Password" /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
The installer I am using is SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe.
When the installer starts up their is a dialog named: Choose Directory for Extract Files. In earlier versions of SQL Server Express this dialog did not require the user to press Ok to continue. Since it takes several minutes to install
SQL Server Express I prefer to show the installation to the user, so they can see that something is taking place. The /q (Quiet) parameter will suppress this dialog, but nothing is seen for several minutes. Note: the Installer documentation
does state that: The /QS switch only shows progress, does not accept any input, and displays no error messages if encountered. The /QS parameter is only supported when /Action=install is specified. Consequently, I believe the /QS parameter
should not be requiring input.
All that for these questions:
1) Is there away to suppress this dialog while still using the /qs (Quiet Simple) parameter.
2) Is there a parameter to tell the installer to extract the files to a specified location?
Thanks,
Les

Hi,
After you download the installation package of SQL Server Express 2014, and extracts it to the specified location, the dialog of “Choose Directory for Extract Files” will appear when you install the SQL Server Express. Usually, we need to use the following
steps to extract the setup files to a temporary location.
1.In the Command Prompt window type %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\ SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe /x
2.When prompted to Choose Directory For Extracted Files type C:\SQLEXPR and click OK to extract the files.
Or suppress the dialog to extract the right location in SQL Server Express 2008 or other lower version. Such as
c:\temp>SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe /extract: "c:\temp".
However, in SQL Server Express 2014, I do a test, we could not suppress the dialog or use the parameters directly to extract in command line. For more information about
installing SQL Server 2014 from the Command Prompt, you can review the following article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
If necessary, personally, I recommend you can provide Microsoft a feature request at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer so that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.

Installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Mobile Sales 5.0 SP07

Dear gurus,
I have the following question for you: is it possible to run Mobile Sales 5.0 SP07 with SQL Server 2005 Exp Edition? The specifications that I have found for both applications are:
- MOBILE CLIENT:
Installation of Mobile Client with CRM release 5.0 requires the installation of Microsoft .NET framework 1.1. (OSS note 879643)
- SQL Server Express Edition: Microsoft .NET framework 2. 0
Has anyone installed it this way?
Thank you in advance,
Judit.

Hello Judith,
It is possible to have 5.0 SP07 Mobile Client installed on machine with SQL Server Express edition. For more information on this, you may refer the installation guide for 5.0 SP07 (Software Pre-requisites section, SQL Server versions). However, please note, you cannot install 5.0 SP07 Mobile Development Workstation on Express edition due to the large repository size.
You may feel free to get back to me in case of any further concerns/comments.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Niranjan
(Reward points will be appreciated if you feel this issue is resolved).
