Converting MDF files (SQL Server Express) to SQL Server 2005 WITHOUT having to buy SQL Server 2005 (I have Express). Personal WebSite Starter Kit
Hi (and HELP!),   I downloaded the Personal WebSite Starter Kit and got it working no problem on my local machine.  But I've had nothing but frustration trying to get it up and running on a webhosting site.  I picked hostmysite.com which uses SQL Server 2005.  I was under the impression that it wouldn't be that big a deal to convert the .MDF files that Sql Server Express uses to a SQL Server 2005 database.  I tried using SQL Server Management Studio Express.  I was able to "see" my remote database on hostmysite.com, but I was not able to import the .mdf file...

SQL Server 2005 Installation problems with SQL Server Express & SQL Server 2000
Hi Guys, I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well.  (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!) Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed.  I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing. A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005. So after a number o...

Deploy Sql Server Express DB to Sql Server Express
I have developed by webite with Visual Studio 2005 and sql server express. I'm trying to deploy my website to a VPS with sql server express running on it I ftp'd the App_Data folder to the remote via the 'copy web site' Everything seemed okay until I started trying to run more complex database operations using stored procedures and transactions. It appears that the schema is messed up because when defining the parameters for a stored procedure, upon ExecuteNonQuery I get the error that I've assigned too many parameters which I have not (since it runs fine on...

SQL Server Database File vs SQL Server Database -VWD Express
VWD Express 2008, SQL Server Express 2005. I have been using SQL Server Express with ASP and VB for some years - I just create a DB in Management Studio Express, have SQL Server set to 'SQL Server and Windows authentication', and use a connection string with 'sa' and a password (I never have managed to get it working with 'integrated security', but that is probably irrelevant to this post). So I have a list of DB's attached to SQL Server that I can see, attach, detach etc in MSE. I am getting started with .NET. Working through a VWD Express book tutori...

SQL Server Express
I'm developing applications with VWD Beta1 and SQLServer Express, and when its possible I'll want to publish it on the INet. I'll probably publish it in a server with SQLServer (without Express), and I want to know if I will have to change something in my code for this change. Thanks!!subgurim.net: blog de ASP.NET 2.0 con C# en castellanoes-asp.net: el portal de ASP.NET en castellano If you don't use any specific SQl 2005 Features, you should probably not need to change your code (Maybe only the connection string so it will target the other Sql Server)./Fredrik Normén - fredrikn @ tw...

Mixing SQL Server and SQL Server Express
VWD 2008 Express.  Visual Basic. I have some questions: 1.  If I create a web site that uses a local database (stored in a directory in my web site's root directory) handled by SQL Server 2008 Express, what happens when I move the site from VWD to my server?  My server has SQL Server 2005 Standard running on it.  Will my site run even if SQL Server 2008 Express is not installed on the server?  Do I need to install SQL Server 2008 Express on my server? 2.  Can my Windows 2003 Server run both SQL Server 2005 Standard and SQL Server 2008 Expre...

SQL SERVER EXPRESS versus SQL SERVER
Would anyone really use ASPNET2 Membership Services with its built in Sql Server Express database for a major, heavy traffic website? How well would sql server express handle 1 million members? Can anyone point me to an article comparing performance of full blow Sql Server with (watered down?) Sql Server Express? Seems to me you already know the answer to this question in the way you ask the question.  SQL Server express is just for normal web applications for learning/teaching and small time deployment.  Obviously by logic heavy traffic ( esp in the 1 million range even in t...

This version of Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005 servers
When I connect SQL Server 2005 to a remote database i get the error: "This version of Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005 servers". Can I confirm it is because: the remote db is of SQL Server 2008? There is a soln mentioned in http://forums.asp.net/t/1324047.aspx Did anybody try this (installing 2008 express: http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/)? I am just checking again, whether it will disturb my existing SQL Server installation, in any means...? Though it is mentioned that it will g...
