Totally frustrated with SQL Server Express Install
Before updating my PC to Windows 8.1 I had a working VS 2008 environment and SQL Express 2005. Now that I have upgraded the OS, I am unable to get any version of SQL Server Express to work with my version of Visual Studio. I spent a couple of weeks trying
to get what should have been a very simple process of creating a working connection string. None of the examples on several "connection string" web sites worked. I had difficulty installing the correct version and finally zeroed in on SQL
Server Express 2008 (SP3). Then, after several posts to community forums I discovered it should have been installed BEFORE I installed VS 2008 ... so, very reluctantly, I uninstalled EVERY SQL Server related file and EVERY VS 2008 file on my system.
Reinstalled SQL Server 2008 (SP3), SQL Server Management Studio 2104 (even though I selected SSMS 2008 from the MS Download site), then installed VS 2008. I opened and created a test DB using SSMS 2014 and everything seems to work. BUT, when I
try to access the table from VS 2008 I pretty much am running into similar issues.... Like an earlier post on a frustrated user, WHY is it so difficult now?
Hello,
You can use Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 installed, but SQL Server 2005 is not supported on Windows 8. I will recommend you to uninstall
SQL Server 2005 via Control Panel or use the following article for that purpose:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
Once SQL Server 2005 is uninstalled you can install other newer versions of SQL Server. SQL Server 2008 requires SP3 to make it compatible with Windows 8, while SQL Server 2008 R2 requires SP1. For more information, please read the following article:

Hope this helps.

Connecting BI Web Server with SQL Server Express / Visual Studio Express for Report Development
Hi,
My company is using the Report Builder 3.0 to build the BI Reports ( I guess based on SQL Server 2008 R2). Our software vendor has provided us the web URL to access the BI Server. I want to generate the BI Reports with SQL Server Express or Visual
Studio Express instead of Report Builder 3.0. Need some guidance in this regard.
regards, BI.Developer.Hi,
Based on my research, if we want to open the report from report server to Business Intelligence Development Studio, we should download the report from report manager, then add this item in Business Intelligence Development Studio. For more details, please
see the following steps:
Type the URL in IE browser to access the repot manager.
Browse to the RDL file folder or location.
Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow near the RDL file.
Click on download button, the download window will pop up now. Then save the rdl file.
Click Manage option in the drop-down list, make a note of its Data Source Connection string.
Create a Report Server Project in Business Intelligence Development Studio.
Right-click the Reports folder to open the Add Existing Item dialog box, navigate to the location where you saved the .rdl file for the report, and then click Add.
Right-click the Data Source to verify the connection string is correct.
Besides, please make sure that software vendor had assigned ‘View reports’, ’Manage reports’, ‘Manage folder’ and ‘Manage data sources’ tasks for your account, so that you can download the report and view the data source.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

HELP - SQL Server Express Install Problems
The SQL Server Express completed without error. However, when I tried to connect to the SQLEXPRESS instance I received one of those wonderful MS errors, "Specified file not found". WHAT FILE? (After all these years MS still can't figure out how
to give an error msg. that provides some hint of what's wrong.) Going on, I started the install console and selected the REPAIR option. (It didn't ask what the problem was, it just ran.) It did ask what instance needed repair. I told
it SQLSERVER. It proceeded to repairing it. My first hint that their repair function worked as well as their error handling was when I got the: That share name has already been used (or something like that) error (notice, MS didn't tell me what
share name, or what aspect of the db they were talking about). After pressing OK, the REPAIR function proceeded to run to completion. When I reviewed the REPAIR report I found that three db processes all had the same SHARE NAME ALREADY USED error.
Actually, I thought that it was no big deal. If this was a real REPAIR, it shouldn't matter that the name was already used because everything else should be the same. (I know I'm nigh eve about the
Intricacies of SQL server.) After repairing my installation, I brought up the SQL Server Management Console again. This time, it did not display SQLEXPRESS in the Connect field. I selected the drop down list arrow to see if it was
listed and the list was blank so I entered SQLEXPRESS in the connect field and clicked on the CONNECT button. I got a NETWORK PATH NOT FOUND error. So, before I really mess things up, I thought I should ask if anyone knows what I should do
next. (As an aside, I've pressed the MS Error Message HELP button numerous times abut various errors I've received over the years. Not only are MS error messages useless, their Help Page has never ONCE been able to provide any information
about the encountered error. MS should spend some time and develop some truly helpful error messages as "File not found" and unknown error code 837289 are absolutely useless and especially since their HELP PAGE is never able to provide any
information either. I do wonder how I can get Unknown Error codes from people who wrote the code that raises the error. Don't they document anything?)I did read the requirements and made sure I met them all. The install package I used was: SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe. You're correct. I'm not familiar with SQL Server.
I downloaded SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Express to learn and explore because I wanted to learn about the new technology.
After leaving my message, I did some more studying and playing with the system. I managed to figure out that I had to turn on the data base service before I could connect with it. I'm sorry, I don't understand how Microsoft could install a data
base system without turning on its services. Why would I want to install something and NOT use it? The default should be ON and the setup manager should provide a choice to set it to OFF on the configuration page.
My experience is rather dated. I had to retire due to a disability in 2005. I couldn't control my arms and hands. The doctor recently tried a medication again that I had had a severe negative reaction to. He first administered steroids
and started me on a small dose and titrated it up as I was able to handle it. Now I have some days where I have pretty good control — I can print a little but can't write well and other days where I can't print, write, or feed myself.
I have performed many functions. I have been an analyst, a programmer, a data base designer, and a college professor at three different colleges. I've done extensive work in process automation and have even automated the management functions
for a data base system that was used to schedule every aspect of all the aircraft, ranges, and weapons development processes on Eglin AFB. I also wrote major pieces of the code used by the system and trouble shot and corrected functions written by other
programmers. The system supported over 300 users a day on two bases. Unfortunately it was developed in Fortran on a VAX and with VB6 and MS Access using VBA, Queries, Tables and Forms on networked PCs.
I plan to do a lot of reading. I'll also be looking at the Microsoft sites for a sample DB and lessons to go with it. I am a little frustrated with how information is organized on the web. The other night I needed to find some information
about something from Microsoft. It took me almost two hours to ask my question in such a way that MS was able to provide what I wanted. I kept asking essentially the same thing, but I had to use the exact phrase MS used on the page. I know
MS is big and they support multiple generations of each product. They have an almost impossible task. I just have to find the various product entry pages.
Thanks for offering your help. -
How to access Sql Server Express installed on Virtual PC from Host?
I have SQL Server Express 2008 R2 installed on Virtual PC. and on my Host machine i have SQL Server 2008 R2 ( Enterprise Version) installed.
Since Management studio that comes with SQL express does not support SQL profiler, i want to access SQL Server Express from the Host machine’s management studio which has SQL profiler.
But I could access it using VM’s ip address & instance nameHi lax,
Follow below steps in your Virtual Machine:
1. Allow remote connections to this server
The first thing you want to check is if Remote Connections are enabled on your SQL Server database. In SQL Server 2008 you do this by opening SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, connect to the server in question, right click the server and open the Server Properties.
Navigate to Connections and ensure that Allow remote connections to this server is checked.
2. Protocols for MSSQLServer
The next good thing to check is the SQL Server Network Configuration. Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, unfold the node SQL Server Network Configuration and select Protocols for MSSQLServer (or whatever the name of your SQL Server instance is). Make
sure that TCP/IP is enabled.
3. The Firewall
If there is still no communication happening between your computer and the remote SQL Server you most likely need to configure your firewall settings.
A good first step is to figure out which port is being used by TCP/IP (and which you need to open in your firewall). You can do this by right clicking TCP/IP and selecting Properties. Click on the tab IP Addresses .
That was easy enough and all there is left to do is to allow inbound TCP/IP traffic on Port 1433 in your firewall. In Windows 7 this works something like this. Open the Control Panel and navigate to Windows Firewall. Click on Advanced Settings on the left hand
side and you should see the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Select the Inboud Rules on the left hand side and click on New Rule on the right hand side. This opens the New Inbound Rule Wizard which you can use to allow inbound traffic on Port 1433
for TCP/IP.
For more information, please refer to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx.
In host machine:
After you have done steps above, you could use the SQL Server Management Studio in the host machine to connect the SQL Server Express R2 in Virtual PC. If you installed a default instance in Virtual PC, you could use VirtualComputerName to login the SQL
Server database engine. If you installed a named instance in Virtual PC, you could use VirtualComputerName\InstanceName to login the SQL Server database engine.

Maggie

Cannot stablish a Database NEW connection with SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and Netbeans 8
Hi I appreciate it if someone could help to this case: I AM TRYING TO MAKE A CONNECTION TO MY SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008 WITH MY NETBEANS 8 And I get ERROR ... APPARENTLY IS MY USER AND KEY BUT I AM PUTTING THE CORRECT USER AND KEY IN WHICH I CONNECT WITH MY
SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008. I HAVE PUT IN PORT THE 1433 TCP / IP PORT. THE HOST, THE NAME OF MY DATABASE.
NO PASSING OR ERROR WHICH CAN BE ...Hi DianaWeb,
It's glad to hear that your problem is resolved by changing the windows authentication into mixed authentication and use 'sa' user, namely an SQL Server authentication.
I believe the user name and password in the Netbean are for SQL Server Authentication to connect to SQL Server. The windows authentication you typed is not a valid SQL Server Authentication, that was why the connection failed.
In any case, if you want your J2EE project connects to SQL Server using Windows authentication(credentials of the user running Tomcat/Jboss where your application is deployed). Just build your JDBC URL like this:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;integratedSecurity=true;
See
Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp?
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Having problems connecting Coldfusion10 with sql server express 2012
Hi,
I am having problems setting up a datasource for a local sql express 2012 server. Its running as the default instance. Connections are working with ODBC and client told just not Coldfusion.
When I try to set up a connection using the sql driver I get this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: Leaf
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Invalid argument: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Invalid argument: connect
When I try a Socket connection with an ODBC connection I setup in windows I get this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: LeafDB
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]Internal network error, connection closed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,Hi Rossco199,
The issue is likely caused by you not having yet assigned port 1433 in SQL Express itself. Follow the procedure described on the following page, and you should solve the problem: http://www.tensixconsulting.com/2012/02/sqlserverexception-the-tcpip-connection-to-the-hos t-port-1433-has-failed/
In particular, remember to assign port 1433 to 127.0.0.1 and to IPAll. Also set 'Active' and 'Enabled' to 'Yes' for the IP 127.0.0.1. While you're at it, if 'Named Pipes' is disabled, you should right-click on it and select 'enable'. Afterwards, restart the Windows service 'SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS)'.
It is advisable to allow ColdFusion server authentication. However, the SQL Express server is configured by default to allow only Windows authentication. This conflict may lead to errors.
Should you then encounter the dreaded Error 233: "No process is on the other end of the pipe", proceed as follows. Open the tool Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Right-click on the name of your database server, then on Properties. In the user interface that opens, click on Security. Select the combined 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode'. Restart the service 'SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS)'. -

SQL Server Express Performance Limitations With OGC Methods on Geometry Instances
I will front load my question. Specifically, I am wondering if any of the feature restrictions with SQL Server Express cause performance limitations/reductions with OGC methods on geometry instances, e.g., STIntersects? I have spent time reading
various documents about the different editions of SQL Server, including the Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2014, but nothing is jumping out at me. The
limited information on spatial features in the aforementioned document implies spatial is the same across all editions. I am hoping this is wrong.
The situation.... I have roughly 200,000 tax parcels within 175 taxing districts. As part of a consistency check between what is stored in tax records for taxing district and what is identified spatially, I set up a basic point-in-polygon query
to identify the taxing district spatially and then count the number of parcels within in taxing district. Surprisingly, the query took 66 minutes to run. As I pointed out, this is being run on a test machine with SQL Server Express.
Some specifics.... I wrote the query a few different ways and compared the execution plans, and the optimizer always choose the same plan, which is good I guess since it means it is doing its job. The execution plans show a 'Clustered Index Seek
(Spatial)' being used and only costing 1%. Coming in at 75% cost is a Filter, which appears to be connected to the STIntersects predicate. I brute forced alternate execution plans using HINTS, but they only turned out worse, which I guess is also
good since it means the optimizer did choose a good plan. I experimented some with changing the spatial index parameters, but the impact of the options I tried was never that much. I ended up going with "Geometry Auto Grid" with 16 cells
per object.
So, why do I think 66 minutes is excessive? The reason is that I loaded the same data sets into PostgreSQL/PostGIS, used a default spatial index, and the same query ran in 5 minutes. Same machine, same data, SQL Server Express is 13x slower than
PostgreSQL. That is why I think 66 minutes is excessive.
Our organization is mostly an Oracle and SQL Server shop. Since more of my background and experience are with MS databases, I prefer to work with SQL Server. I really do want to understand what is happening here. Is there something I can
do different to get more performance out of SQL Server? Does spatial run slower on Express versus Standard or Enterprise? Given I did so little tuning in PostgreSQL, I still can't understand the results I am seeing.
I may or may not be able to strip the data down enough to be able to send it to someone.Tessalating the polygons (tax districts) is the answer!
Since my use of SQL Server Express was brought up as possibly contributing to the slow runtime, the first thing I did was download an evaluation version of Enterprise Edition. The runtime on Enterprise Edition dropped from 66 minutes to 57.5 minutes.
A reduction of 13% isn't anything to scoff at, but total runtime was still 11x longer than in PostgreSQL. Although Enterprise Edition had 4 cores available to it, it never really spun up more than 1 when executing the query, so it doesn't seem
to have been parallelizing the query much, if at all.
You asked about polygon complexity. Overall, a majority are fairly simple but there are some complex ones with one really complex polygon. Using the complexity index discussed in the reference thread, the tax districts had an average complexity
of 4.6 and a median of 2.7. One polygon had a complexity index of 120, which was skewing the average, as well as increasing the runtime I suspect. Below is a complexity index breakdown:
Index

Before trying tessellation, I tweaked the spatial indexes in several different ways, but the runtimes never changed by more than a minute or two. I reset the spatial indexes to "geometry auto grid @ 32" and tried out your tessellation functions
using the default of 5000 vertices. Total runtime 2.3 minutes, a 96% reduction and twice as fast as PostgresSQL! Now that is more what I was expecting before i started.
I tried using different thresholds, 3,000 and 10,000 vertices but the runtimes were slightly slower, 3.5 and 3.3 minutes respectively. A threshold of 5000 definitely seems to be a sweet spot for the dataset I am using. As the thread you referenced
discussed, SQL Server spatial functions like STIntersect appear to be sensitive to the number of vertices of polygons.
After reading your comment, it reminded me of some discussions with Esri staff about ArcGIS doing the same thing in certain circumstances, but I didn't go as far as thinking to apply it here. So, thanks for the suggestion and code from another post.
Once I realized the SRID was hard coded to 0 in tvf_QuarterPolygon, I was able to update the code to set it to the same as the input shape, and then everything came together nicely. -
Can TS work with sql server compact or express?
I'm don't have much experience with the underpinning of database systems. I know conceptually how they work and can hack my way through sql queries. Is there something fundamentally different about a Sql Server Compact itnstall versus Sql Server versus Sql Server Express? Can TS work with any of them with a proper connection string?
My problem is at our local site a previous employee set us up on Sql Server and wrote a web app (.asp) to do the query for presentation on a web page. At an offsite location they can't install Sql Server and I'm trying to figure out the best path for them to be able to use the same .asp tool we have. My gut feeling is the .asp tool is probably set up such that it wouldn't take much to make it work with MySql but because I don't have the luxury of time I'm hoping someone can point me in what they think might be the easiest direction (whether that is sql compact if possible or MySql for them).Hi,
TestStand works with SQL server express. (not sure about SQL server compact).

Please note that this is NOT a question about fixing this one installation. This is an SQL Server Express install as part of my application install and MUST WORK FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. Please direct me.
Paul T.Here are the parameters used with the SQL Server Express installer EXE (both x86 and x64):
/q /hideconsole /action=Install /features=SQL /instancename=SQLEXPRESS /enableranu=1 /sqlsvcaccount="NT Authority\Network Service" /AddCurrentUserAsSqlAdmin /skiprules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms
I presume that TCP/IP is not enabled by default for Express installs. I THINK that named pipe should be enabled.

SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 installation hangs during extract phase
Greetings!
I am having an issue with trying to silent install SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 (x86).
I have a proprietary installation framework, which is calling the SQL Server Express installer.
The SQL Server Express installer starts extracting files to c:\{some guid}. The folder reaches about 11 mb in size, and then nothing further happens. No activity on the machine, CPU or disk - I have waited up to 15 minutes to verify this. On the normal installation,
the size of this folder is ~650 mb.
Here are the things I've also tested:
- I'm experiencing these symptoms on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (haven't tested other platforms)
- If I launch exactly the same command from the command prompt, the installation goes through as normal
- If I replace the SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 with SQL Server Express 2012 SP1, and install via our installation framework, the installation goes through as normal
- I have checked and double-checked that our installation framework is started with administrative privileges.
- From my previous search attempts, I have seen issues where the installer would hang or fail when launched from inside an msi, which would result in a log in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\<something something>. These are not the symptoms
I am experiencing. The C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\ folder is not even created!
Any suggestions, or places I can look to figure out why it's not proceeding? For now, I have worked around the issue by including SP1 instead of SP2, but ideally I'd like to base my solution on the most recent service pack.Hello Alberto!
The installation framework does check for this. I'm also certain that these prerequisites are fulfilled.
When the SQL Server process hangs, I can kill the process, copy/paste the exact command that was executed from the installation framework's log files, and execute that command in a command prompt - and then the installation runs as expected.
The installation framework installs SQL Server Express correctly if I use the 2008 R2 SP1 express or the 2012 SP1 Express installer. It's just the SP2 installer that is giving me problems.
The only difference I can think of is that the installation framework is a 32-bit process, which calls the SQL Server installer, while the command prompt is a 64-bit application. I am installing the SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe
from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43351, so it should be compatible with my 32 bit environment -
"SQLEXPR_x86 is the same product but supports installation onto both 32-bit and 64-bit (WoW) operating systems"
Tomorrow, I will try:
- Installing on Windows 7 32-bit
- Trying to launch the SQL Server installer from a powershell (x86) prompt, to emulate a 32-bit environment on a 64-bit machine -
SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2013
In February I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Looking in the Control Panel at all my installed programs, I see that I have a bunch of SQL server-related programs loaded, from the 2013 install and also from installs of previous Visual Studio versions.
I've never done a thing with SQL server express, and am completely clueless about using it. I've already wanted to take a crack at it but it always seemed too daunting, so I backed off. It seems, however, that over the years the integration of SQL Server Express
with Visual Studio is getting more and more seamless. Here is a list of all the SQL Server-related programs on my computer, with the ones installed automatically from the Visual Studio 2013 install bolded so they'll stand out. What I'm wondering is if I have
everything I need to use SQL Server Express with Visual Studio 2013:
