SSIS - SQL Server Developer to Express Edition

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use SQL Server Developer Edition to produce SSIS packages that will operate on a remote SQL Server Express Edition database?
The situation is such that it is easiest to install a SQL Server Express Edition database on a remote server (for use within a company intranet) due to server availability and licensing restrictions. It would be great to be able to do Excel round trips with the data though - would it be possible to use SQL Server Developer Edition to do this on another computer, and have it update the data in the Express database?
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards,
Ray Muirhead

SQL Server Express Edition does not contain SSIS, and you cannot execute SSIS packages on a box with Express Edition. However, you can read/write to an Express edition without any limitation.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition and Full Text Indexing

Hello, we have recently upgraded our web front end server from SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (in conjuction with upgrading our main production servers to SQL 2008 R2 Standard). We have 12 Databases on our production
SQL Server that are replicated to our web frontend server to the SQL Express instance. One of these databases has a FULL TEXT INDEX. The production database is running the Adobe iFilter version 9 64Bit. The FULL TEXT CATALOG has been created and populated
and performs searches as intended. However, upon replication, when using the search option on our web page based on that PDF iFilter, it no longer works. After examining the properties of the FULL TEXT CATALOG, we note that the Catalog size on the subscriber
end is 0MB in size (whereas it is 3MB on the Publication side). Also the Unique Key Count on the subscriber side is '1' whereas on the publisher side it is 30,000+. After examining the FT Indexing logs on the subscriber side shows an error: "Warning: No appropriate
filter was found during full-text index population" On the subscriber side which is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, Adobe Reader 10.1.1 is installed (all 32Bit) with the Adobe iFilter AcroRdIF.dll. When running the SELECT
* from sys.fulltext_document_types T-Sql statement, the list returned shows the PDF filter to be installed and shows the correct path. Under the System Environment Variables, that path has also been installed (from previous recommendations in researching this
problem). After numerous reboots, service restarts and re-attempts to get the FT Daemon to crawl - no success. Can anyone please help with this problem? Is there something I am missing? In an attempt to work around this problem thinking there might be a version
conflict between the 64Bit version on the publisher and the 32Bit version on the subscriber, I disabled the replication of the FULL TEXT CATALOG and tried to create a new catalog on the subscriber with the same results. Thank you for your answers in advance
- Fustrated! Sorry, somehow this got posted originally under Server Design

Hello Jeff hope your still out there. I wrote this question 2 years ago and upgraded to SQL Express with advanced services. Full Text replication worked until last week. We are operating in a virtual environment. My publisher box
is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) with SQL Server Standard Edition. My Web front subscriber is a Windows 2003 R2 (32bit) Server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Now the exact same thing is happening after 2+ years.
We are looking for possible updates that might have broken this but I am stretching that. Any clues please? 32bit vs. 64bit?

Hi I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition, I am getting error like "unhandled exception has occurred in your application"

In that system Microsoft Framework 4.o and 3.5.1 is installed even then i am getting the error then i uninstalled and again installed framework same error occurring.

Hi Chandra,
As other post, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis.
Based on my knowledge, the error “unhandled exception has occurred in your application” always happens along with the following message when installing SQL Server 2008 R2:
“An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for userSettings/Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. “
If you encounter such issue, please perform the following steps to solve it.
1.Go to your app data directory by going to start > run > %appdata% .
2.This will by default take you to the "roaming" folder, go up one directory and move into the "Local" folder.
3. Go to the "Microsoft_Corporation" folder.
4. Delete the relevant folders from the "Microsoft_Corporation" folder.
For more details, please review the following blog.
SQL Server 2008 R2 will not install - Unhandled Exception has occurred in your application

Hi Alexander,
According to your description, you encounter the error 997 when installing SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This issue could be due to the account problem or third-party software scanning. Besides paSQuaLe's post, you could also check the following things.
1. Check the account with which you log on to the server, make sure that it is not an account with temporary profile.
2. Run SQL Server setup file locally on your computer and make sure that you choose ‘Run as administrator’ to run the setup.
3. Disable any Anti-virus and reboot your server.
4. Check for any problems with disk drive where you are installing SQL Server files.

Installing SSMS 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express was installed (without tools)

Hi everybody,
This is a question in another forum I am frequent. Someone installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and he used the wrong exe, so he installed it without tools. Now he wants to install SSMS.
It looks like SSMS 2012 wants to have SQL Server 2012 Express installed first.
Can someone please confirm if it's possible to install just SSMS 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express was already installed and if possible, guide through the installation steps?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Naomi,
Agree with Shanky.
I have tested the scenario you described. Everything works well, I successfully install SQL Server Management studio 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (without tools) was already installed.
Please note that we don’t need to install SQL Server 2012 Express first when installing SSMS 2012. For detailed installation steps of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and SSMS 2012, you can review below blogs.

In addition, we can use SSMS 2012 to manage SQL Server Express 2005 /2008 /2008 R2, the tool is backward compatible.

How to install SSIS on SQL Server Developer

I have SQL Server Developer. I know I can add in SSIS. Can you tell me the steps to install SSIS on my machine?
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi ryguy72,
Based on my research, in the version of SQL Server 2014, SSDT BI is no longer included in setup. If we require Integration Services design-time features, we must also install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Installs Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business
Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2012.
Please download and install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 from there:

Can I Install SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 on Windows 8

I am just about to buy this:
http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-Developer-Edition-2012/dp/B007RFXQAM
I noticed that the 2 platforms listed are Windows 7 & Vista. I'm pretty sure it will also run fine on Windows 8, based on what I read here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
I'm wondering if anyone has actually installed SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 on Windows 8.
Thanks!!

Yes, absolutely. It is fully compatible and supported. And you already have the official link :)

Analysis Server for sql server 2008 r2 express?

Not sure if this is a forum where I could ask about how I could obtain analysis server for sql server 2008 R2 express - only for academic purposes (not doing any production stuff - just getting up to speed on OLAP, creating fact tables, star schema,
snowflake schema, ...). Suggestions appreciated how I may obtain a version of analysis server for sql server 2008 R2 Express -- or if this is not a good forum to ask that question then I would be grateful for being pointed to the proper forum.
Thanks
Rich P

SQL Express Edition Doesn't support analysis services.

As Li said, you need to go with the developer edition.

How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
SQLX_LOC
SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
MS_SRV, MS_LOC
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
Server Manager: SMGR
I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine. I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV. However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
with SQLX_SRV. Here's what I have done so far:
SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles. Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue. On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No. I've tried it both
ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP. On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.
For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
fields.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart. This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS". My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain. So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash.
Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
I must also use SQL Server Authentication. Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required. So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
for the server name and Windows Authentication. Once connected I performed the following steps:
MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode". This will enable connections using either type
of authentication.
Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
On the General page Enter a name for your new login
Select SQL Server Authorization
Enter and confirm a password
Uncheck Enforce password expiration
Select the default Database and Language
On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin. This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table. Public will be selected by default. Also select db_Owner. Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login. I tried this and it worked fine. Next I tried to use this same login
remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
THIS DID NOT WORK?? Instead I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

For help, click:

If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
WRONG on all 4 counts! The instance name IS valid. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled. The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant. Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running.
However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work?? I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

If you follow the help link you are told:
"The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections!
I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186 and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine!
If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.
Hope it helps. It works, but you have to be extra carefull to read it all and setup the server configuration and netsh commands; also the port fowarding on the router.

Service-specific error code -2146885628- MS SQL Server 2008 r2 Express

I have had no end of problems starting my MS SQL Server 2008 r2 Express.
My database program (Sage ACT! Pro 2011) starts fine. However when it attempts to start my default database, I get the following error message:
When I start my database within my application software (ACT Pro 2011) , I get the following error:
I am not abler to open any database with in ACT 2011. This error tells me that I must manually start SQL Server. I am running Windows 7 Pro, SP1. So I go to Services, and right click on SQL Server (ACT7) and click start and get the following error:
I have contacted Swiftpage and spent 2 hours on the phone with their technical support. They manually (via remote desktop connection) deleted ACT Pro 2011 and manually deleted SQL Server 2008 r2 Express (in registry and all files and folders).
I decided to upgrade, so ACT Pro v16 was installed. SQL Server still would not start automatically or manually. The ACT technical support person, after two very long hours said: that it is not an ACT problem, that I would need to turn to Microsoft for
a resolution as to why SQL Server will not start, and how to remedy this issue.
I hope someone can offer help or point me in the direction to get this very bad problem resolved. I cannot work without my CRM! can someone help?
Thanks!

Upgrade from SQL server developer 2008 R2 to SQL Server developer 2012

Hi,
We have bought 5 licenses of SQL server developer 2012.
This licenses provided us an option to use SQL server 2008 R2. And we have been using 2008 R2 till now.
But now we want to upgrade to SQL server developer 2012 edition
I want to know the process for up-gradation. When I looked at the licensing portal, it says "This product does not require a product key"
My questions are:
1) Should I download the 2012 version from licensing center and pass the downloaded copy to respective team members?
2) Can the team member download the SQL server 2012 developer edition from Microsoft site and install it on their machines?
3) Do we need to first un-install 2008 R2?
4) How the licensing can be managed in cases of products which say "This product does not require a product key.", i.e. how can I make sure that no more than 5 installations are done by the team
Thanks

1. Developer edition has license associated with it .And yes you can download it if you have subscription.But please be informed that you cannot use Developer edition in production,its not allowed and illegal.
2.You can upgarde from SQL server 2008 R2 to 2012 developer edition by Inplace upgrade method ,you can also follow side by side approach.For side by side approach you have to get new box ,intall OS,then install SQL server 2012 ,move logins and jobs and move
databases by backup restore.You must see supported upgrades
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(v=sql.110).aspx
3.No not ins any case ,please dont do that
4.Licensing question should best be asked with Microsoft licensing expert.
reg process of upgarde first run upgrade advisor and look for error if any.Then run SQL server 2012 setup and in maintenance section select edition upgrade,other process is same as SQL Server installtion

Upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition to SQL server 2012 slandered edition

Hi everyone,
Need help on below concern.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition installed. Which contains SSAS cubes, SSIS packages and SSRS Reports.
I need to upgrade it to SQL Server 2012 Standard edition.
How can I achieve this ??
And I don't have much idea in SSIS package migrations.
Please help me to achieve this.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi,
Please follow side by side approach for upgrade.Get a new windows box and install SQL server 2012 on it
Move databases from SS2008 R2 to SS 2012 by backup restore mechanism.
Move
jobs and logins by Scripting out and running it on SQL SS 2012.See links as well
Please refer to
this link for SSIS package migration
For SSAS please post question in SSAS forum

How to install the 2008 R2 Express ADV?? =)
I can't open the database version 661, because SQL Server 2005 - 612

Hi,
You just installed SQl server management studio I guess and when you connected the system already had SQL Server 2005 and it connected to it.
If you are sure you installed express with advanced services (2008 r2) you need to go to Start..all program..can you see SQL server 2008 r2 listed ?
Now open SSMS for 2008 r2 and instead of connecting with default instance look for other instances in drop down in server name you would fine that for SQL Server 2008 r2 connect to that
