How to control SQL Server 2005 Express installed as a "prerequisite"

Suppose I check "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" as one of the prerequisites for a custom app in a Windows Setup project.

From reading whatever docs I could get my hands on, it's still not clear to me how to control the installation of SQL Server Express with respect to things like instance name, service account, etc, etc.

In other words, this is stuff that's normally the domain of template.ini. However, there's no clear indication of where I should put template.ini so that the install of "prerequisite" SQL Server Express will see it and configure accordingly...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this...

Josh

Josh, template.ini is not used for configuration settings (as the .iss files were in SQL 2000). This file merely is used as documentation for creating silent installs by describing which flags are used in various situations.

As for another application installing SQL 2005 Express, I would assume that the application is controlling the install (instance name, accounts, etc) so that it can connect after install. If they are not exposing these install features during their install, they probably are using some default values for all installs.

Thanks,
Samuel Lester (MSFT)

Samuel:

Yep, it looks like the parameters (at least, all the ones I tried) are recognized when supplied on the command line.

One parameter I haven't been able to find, though, is one that tells SQL Server Express Edition to use port 1433 instead of dynamic ports. I know about DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS (and it, too, works as expected), but it only activates TCP -- it doesn't affect the port-assignment scheme.

Thanks,
Josh

How to connection MS Access Porject (.adp) with SQL server?

Hi all,
I got the question, how can i connection MS Access Project to a SQL Server
in vba in runtime.
The situation is i create a new MS Access Project, it's didn't have any
connection with any SQL-server. It's just consist a couple of form. What i
want is that user can via an inlog form to get in the database. The
informations about the server...etc is save in the code. The user just need
to give the SQL-login and password. My code to make the connection is as
follow.
'----
--
Function GetADPConnection(strServername, strDBName As String, Optional strUN
As String, _ Optional strPW As String)
Dim strConnect as string
strConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB" & _
";Data Source = \10.0.0.4\" & strServername & _
";Initial Catalog =" & strDBName
strConnect = strConnect & ";UID=" & strUN
strConnect = strConnect & ";PWD=" & strPW
Application.CurrentProject.OpenConnection strConnect
End Function
'----
--
It doesn't seems to work and i get the following error messagge:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access
denied.
Can anyone help?
Best Regards,
PatData source should be in the form of:
Servername (or IP - 10.0.0.20)
For a named instance, you can use:
Servername\InstanceName
You can find sample connection strings at:

How to connect two databases on alocal server in SQL

Hello , This is Vidya newly joined to this group.
I want some help .... Its really urgent

In my project I want to connect to two databases on alocal server in SQL ? Is there any SQL query to connect two databases ?

Situation is=>
There are two Databases Db1, Db2. I want to take data from tables of Db1 to data of tables of Db2 and vice versa.I want simple SQL query without any scripting language or VB statements. Its very urgent Please help me in that.If the two databases are on the same server you can reference either one in the other by using the fully qualified object name: [database].[owner].[object]|||Thank You Sir, For your quiock reply. I have tried it but still I am unable to connect.

Sir can we have '-' (Hyphen Character) for our database name? like a_com_-_b, Is It a valid name...

Thank You|||Yes, database names can contain hyphens. But I would not recommend it for reasons of style.

Post the code you are trying that is not working. You should be able to do something like:
Use Database1
go

select Table1.Column1,
Table2.Column2
from Table1
inner join Database2.dbo.Table2 as Table2 on Table1.pkey = Table2.pkey

How to connect to the SQl server EXPRESS using 'ODBC Data Source A

Hi All,
Recently I have installed SQl server express edition. I was able to connect
to the SQL server from my .NET project using connection parameter like:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\Documents and Settings\Raju\My
Documents\Sanjib SQL DBs\IBuyAdventure\IBuyAdventure.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
Now I need to connect to the same SQL server from 'ODBC Data Source
Aministrator' wizard, that I am unable to do. The wizard is asking me (for
system DSn and File DSN) for SQL server name (I do no know what to give, is
it (local) or something) and how to login authenticate (with windows
authentication or something). Now if I goto Services/SQl Server (SQLEXPRESS)
, click LogOn I see that 'Local System Account' is checked. Pls tell me how
to connect to this SQl server using System DSN connection wizard.
By the way I am the administrator of this machine where I have instlled the
SQl server...
Thanks in advance,

do not think he can connect to User Instance through ODBC DSN Wizard (why
use ODBC anyway?). I am not should if it is possible to connect to SQL
Server Express' User Instance through OdbcConnection object in
System.Data.Odbc namespace, but it is certain your sample code will not.

Pipe name for the instance but if you haven't already started the user
instance with a managed code connection, ODBC won't start it. If your main
application is using ODBC, I would recommend attaching the database to the
main instance so it is always running and the ODBC connection can find it.
There is more information on named instances and how to connect to them

If you HAVE to access the database on SQL Server Express via something other
than ADO.NET2.0's System.Data SqlClient namespace, why use User Instannce?
The whole point of using user instance is to limit the database setup/access
within current user's privilidge of access to the computer. If a user has to
use ODBC DSN Wizard, it may well requires the user has a bit more privilidge
that usual. Also, an user instance is not available to other user even the
other user uses the same computer.

The whole point came like this. I am trying to install a SQl server driven
3rd party application and after the applications gets installed the database
installation wizard appears and tht wizard asks me to connect to the SQL
server using ODBC DSN, so I need to know the parameters for connecting to the
SQL server, which I don't know it seems, b'case while installing SQL server
2005 it never asked me for a server name/login password. And now it is
running using the 'Local System Account' i.e. Local Admin account that is me.
May be my SQL server 2005 is using user instance, although I am not sure.
The fact that I am not that much knowlegeble in SQL severs, much worked in
microsoft programming languages, and SQl server for me is a database server
tht always worked.
I will try from the URL provided by Roger and let u know...
Thanks,
Sanjib

install an user instance (I am not sure). However, form your first post,
according to the ConnectionString, you are trying to use an User Instance.
User Instance of SQL Server Express is a special installation of SQL Server
Express. It seems you need a bit more study on what an user instance is, so
that you can tell if your intallation is an user instance or not, and
whether you need an user instance or not. IMO, SQL Server Express's user
instance does not go with ODBC.

unrelated elements in your posting. First you were able to use ADO.Net in
Visual Studio to create a database. This database was a user instance which
is why this came up in our answers. On a completely unrelated note you now
want to install a third party application that uses ODBC to connect to the
database.
Go into the Windows Control Panel and select Administrative Tools. One of
the tools is ODBC data sources. Select the System DSN or User DSN as
required for your application and click ADD. Select the SQL Native Client
Driver. Fill in a name which you get to choose (probably the application is
looking for a particular name), leave the description blank and put
.\SQLExpress in the server field. Select the defaults for the rest unless
you already know the database name you want to make your default database.
If not, the default will be "master".

Roger's trick to connect to the SQL server worked for me, I was able to use
the ODBC data source wizard to connect to the SQL server. It worked for me.
Now I will be happy if this SQL server let me create a user (for this SQL
server) for me, at least one user with all the DBA permission. Is tht
possible, pls let me know...
By the time I have started reading some materials for SQL server. ANother
thing with this SQL server 2005 express, there is no SQl explore window where
I can find create the SQL server Datavase/queries etc. Why is it so.
Although many thanks for your kind help and suggestions...

How to connect to Analysis Service Database through reporting service?

Hello,

In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.

I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.

I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.

As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Annie

To create a model based on an Analysis Services cube, use Report Manager. First create a data source which points to the cube, then click "Generate Model" on the data source properties page. AS models can't be edited. Full details are in Books Online, under "Reporting Services How-To Topics".

If you just want to create a report which uses the same data source as your cube, you do not need a report model project. Instead create a report project, add a new report, and create a report data source which uses the same connection settings as the cube data source.

How to connect ExecuteSQLTask with data flow task

Hi, there;
I am doing my first SSIS project that moves data from dbf file to SQL2005.
What I did here is that I created a dataflow task (move data)with ASP.NET successfully (Very happy!). Now I want to create an ExecuteSQLTask that runs before data flow runs. This ExecuteSQLTask is used used to create a table if there is no destination table in the SQL2005.
This can be done easily in SSIS design mode, just need to connect those two box with a green line: )
I had a look example from MS website, but I didn't find a code example to connect this two task.
Does anybody know how to resolve this or have any link with sample code?

Big thanks here.

Not sure what the issue is. Just drag the green line to the data flow task.|||

I am creating SSIS package from C# manully, not using the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio at all. So I'd like to know how to connect these two task using C# code.

Thanks.

|||

Try this:

.....

//Create the package
Package pkg = new Package();

//Add the tasks
TaskHost sqlTask = (TaskHost)pkg.Executables.Add("STOCK:SQLTask");
TaskHost pipelinetask = (TaskHost)pkg.Executables.Add("STOCK:PipelineTask");

//Add the PrecedenceConstraint
PrecedenceConstraint pc = pkg.PrecedenceConstraints.Add(sqltask, pipelinetask);
pc.Value = DTSExecResult.Success;

.....

HTH,

|||Hello WATT
I couldn't see the error message. I think u have to change something inthe "web.config" file, so we could see the error message.
Because i got this message:

How to Choose Method to Transfer Data from Production to Reporting database

My current project now is how to synchronize (data transfer) between
Production Database & Reporting Database using DTS, but I have no idea
how to do it and using which the best method. Need to know, that two
database have different structure tables - of course - and have a
thousand records inside, and our transaction working 24 hours, so
that's imposible to delete all records at Reporting Database and
replace with new data. The method that I've considered now is :
[vbcol=seagreen]
- 0 : haven't transfered at all
- 1 : the record have been modified
- 2 : have transfered to Reporting database
So I only need delete all records at Reporting Services which match
record at Production have flag 1, and then transfered all records that
have flag 0 and 1.
But the weakness of my method is how to synchronize for deleted
records? Should I save the primary key of deleted records, or is there
any other method?
Please give me suggestion/comment for my method.
Thanks
To determine what records have been deleted from MyTable in the Reporting
Database, you can left join MyTable from the Reporting Database (RD) back to
the Production Database (PD) on the primary key (pkey) and select
RD.MyTable.pkey where PD.Mytable.pkey is null.
Now, to delete these records from the Reporting version of MyTable:
delete from RD.MyTable where pkey in (the above subquery)
