Tutorials for SQL Server Express?

Hello!
Where can I find good (if possible video) tutorials for SQL Server Express 2012?
I saw several commercial tutorial DVDs, but those are not for the Express edition. :(
Thank you!

Hello,
As Olaf said SQL server basic functioning remains same for all its features point here is express edition does not support all features.If you create 2 basic queries express and enterprise theay both will return same result.So I would suggest keep reading
tutorials you find out

Problem with Datasource for SQL Server Express

I have set up a development environment to develop some processes for the HCSO client and have a question. I have a turnkey install on my laptop with MYSQL. The liveCycle databases are in MYSQL. I have also installed SQL Server Express on this machine and created a table to query that will control workflow. I added a datasource configuration in the adobe-ds.xml configuration file. That configuration is:
<local-tx-datasource>
            <jndi-name>HCSO</jndi-name>
            <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=DBName</connection-url>
            <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
            <user-name>username</user-name>
            <password>password</password>
            <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
            <max-pool-size>30</max-pool-size>
            <blocking-timeout-millis>60000</blocking-timeout-millis>
            <autoReconnect>true</autoReconnect>
            <idle-timeout-minutes>15</idle-timeout-minutes>
            <prepared-statement-cache-size>100</prepared-statement-cache-size>
            <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
            <new-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</new-connection-sql>
            <check-valid-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</check-valid-connection-sql>
            <metadata>
                  <type-mapping>MS SQLSERVER2000</type-mapping>
            </metadata>
      </local-tx-datasource>
In SQL Server, I created a user and a schema with the same name in a database. I created a simple table called "eric" with one column called "id". The user was given the appropriate default schema and given full permissions on the database and table.
In workbench, I added a JDBC query single row activity. I have configured the datasource as java:/HCSO and also tried java:HCSO. I then entered the query as "Select id from HCSOUser.eric" and hit test. Nothing appears in the results area. I see the following in the server.log:

Can i use sql server express 2008, 2012, and 2014 for commercial purpose?

Good day,
I saw that the sql server express 2005 can be used for commercial purpose without buying additional license
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8df18025-fc2b-43c2-8476-532336ff09e3/sql-server-express-for-commercial-use?forum=sqlexpress
the question is can I do the same for sql server express 2008,2012, and 2014?
can I install and use sql server express 2008, 2012 and 2014 on an azure vm? specifically
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/
A0 instance
just an off topic question, is it required to pay to use sql server on virtual machines?
why is there a different pricing here
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/#Sql

Hello,
Yes, you can use all versions SQL Server Express for commercial use. Please read more resources about it.

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
But yet, it fails every single time.
This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

Have a nice day
PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid. The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
Any other ideas?
I haven't had any answers from any other forums either, so I'll just post my log file in case anyone wants to look at this:

SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1
In addition, Installation Instructions says that it requires:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer 4.5.
Windows PowerShell 1.0
I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.
My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
So, the ultimate questions are:
1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1?
2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

Hello,
The following article provides which updates are required to make SQL Server versions compatible with Windows 8 or 8.1:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us
1. You can use the product updates feature on SQL Server 2012 to make it compatible with Window 8.1. Apply SP1 as described on the following
article:
http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0008.htm
2. No.
3. Download and install .NET Framework 4.0 and enable .NET Framework 3.5. For more information:
http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0017.htm
4. Yes, you can use SQL Server 2014 with Windows 8.1. Please refer to the Support article provided above.
Hope this helps.

Define ODBC to sql server express 2008 on AZURE VM

Hello,
I defined virtual machine in AZURE with windows server 2008.
I installed SQL SERVER 2008 R2 SP2 Express on the virtual machine.
My goal is to connect from access 2010 to the SQL Server.
I defined endpoint: TCP, public port:57500, private port:1433
I defined an inbound rule in VM firewall: port 1433 opened for the database engine
I defined sql server to allow network login.
I am trying to define ODBC connection but it does not work.
I use the following settings in ODBS form:
Server: VM DNS Name (like: XXX.cloudapp.net),57500
Login ID: login name to SQL Server
Password: password to SQL Server
Can you help me with the correct settings so I will be able to connect to SQL Server?
Thank you for your help

Hello,
Which error message did you received when connect to SQL Server Express instance with OBDC?
Please verify you had did the following configuration:
1.Make sure that TCP/IP is enabled for SQL Server Express in SQL Configuration Manager.
2. Configure SQL Server to listen on the TCP protocol 1433.
3. Configure SQL Server with mixed mode authentication and the login you used is valid.

Convert Existing MDB database files to SQL Server Express

Hi All,
Can some one please help me on this:
1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
Thanks in Advance, Pls help
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
blog.
Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
• 1 physical processor
• 1 GB of RAM
• 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, they are both free tools. For more information about convert an Access database to SQL Server, please review this
KB article.

How to install SSMS on for SQL Server 2012 Express, Windows 8.1

I've installed Visual Web Developer 2010 and SQL Server Express 2012 on my Windows 8.1 machine. But there's no SSMS included. When I search the Microsoft web space, I find articles pointing to installers that crash, and downloads that have
no ".exe" (etc.,) extension.
Can somebody please point me to the right starting place for this?

Hello,
On the following link click on the “Download” (red button).:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Then click on the checkbox next to the Management Studio version you would like to install:
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe (32-Bit)
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe (64-bit)
Then click on the “Next” button (grey color) on the right side.
Hope this helps.

Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

Good morning,
I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
thank you in advance
Best regards
Francesco

Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above:
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

Can't add datasource for local SQL Server Express

I can't get new datasource to connect to a local SQL Server Express (2008).
On SSE, I enabled non-NTLM authentication, created an account specifically for CFServer, and was able to log into SQL Server through Management Studio. But the datasource still won't connect.
When I enter computerName/SQLServerName for the Server, I get a message saying "...The requested instance is either invalid or not running."
When I enter just SQLServerName, message says "Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLServerName."
When I enter (local), I get a message saying "Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local)"
When I enter 127.0.0.1, message says "Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect"
I don't know why the first is considered invalid, or why the fourth is refusing connection. Am I forgetting something?

I found the solution, which doesn't have to do with Coldfusion, but rather with configuring SQL Server for TCP/IP. In case someone else ever stumbles upon this post with a similar problem, I wrote about it at http://forums.devshed.com/ms-sql-development-95/trying-to-connect-to-sql-server-on-localho st-1433t-958558.html.

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,

Connection problem in Crystal Reports for Eclipse(SQL Server Express 2008)

I tried to connect into a local SQL Server Express 2008 database in Crystal Reports for Eclipse (CR4E), but always got the Ping failed message(TCP/IP connection failed) even I tests completed successfully using my Window XP Adminstrators Tools (SQL Server ODBC Data Source Test). I can connect successfully to a remote network Oracle database in CR4E. I would like to know
that is there any one who connect SQL Server Express 2008 local database successfully in CR4E?

Don,
Thanks for your suggestions. I will follow your instruction to connect to SQL Server Express 2008 database latelly. I can connect successfully with different Oracle databases (10g) in CR4E. I will try to connect MySQL database and Postgres database in CR4E to see if they can be successful or not. My project involves international entities with emphsizing in using OPEN SOURCE softwares (which means FREE - no license fees) in .NET platform for Oracle, SQL Server Express, MySQL and Postgres database servers. I am responsible for reports generation. I hope that CR4E can be connected successfully to SQL Server Express 2008 database server, otherwise I have to use JFreeReport/JFreeChart tools to do reports generation .

Version of SQL Server Express for a Secondary Site in Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Hi,
I want to install a secondary site in my Configuration Manager 2012 R2. I want to install the SQL Server Express in a diferente drive. To do so, I want to previous install the SQL Server Express.
Can I use the SQL Server 2014 Express?
Thanks in advance...
Dmsousa

Sorry, going to be blunt here, but this is why "best practices" are useless. If you don't know the "why" of the best practice and when to apply it, it will cause you to do things that simply aren't necessary (or even harmful) by
blindly trying to apply them. It is simply is not necessary for secondary sites for perf or any other reason. Also, if this is a VM, then your virtual disks will most likely be on the same physical disks which means you do *not* in any way gain any perf benefits
anyway (perf benefits come from have additional physical spindles -- logical separation is just that *logical*).
You have far bigger challenges ahead of you, push the easy button on this one, let ConfigMgr deploy SQL Express for you and move on.

Can't find ConfigurationFile.ini for SQL Server 2012 Express

Hello,
I installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop with an instance name of SqlExpress. However, when I try to find the ConfigurationFile.ini, I can't find it. I searched all the sub-folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup
Bootstrap\Log\, but there is no such file. I need this file for future silent installation on many other computers. Can anybody help with this issue?
Thanks,
Jay

For SQL Server Express edition you need to try with below parameters at the time of installation:
