I have a database file .mdf from MS SQL EXPRESS in folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA I would like to attach it to MS 2008 R2 (MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER) but using Server Management Studio I receive the following error: CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105) while attempting to open or create the physical file Do you have any idea how to solve it? I was able to solve the problem running MS SQL Management Studio as ADMINISTRATOR. It's a Windows permissions issue. If you connected to your

Working on a common codebase, one developer is running SQL Server Express 2005 and the other 2 are running SQL Server 2005. Everything is working fine, but the connection strings differ. To maintain common configuration and build scripts we're looking to mask "localhost\sqlexpress" to just "localhost" like the other 2 developers. Can this be done? Or, maybe there's a better way for all 3 to run on the same connection string... The solution sought is for all 3 to be able to run on the same file versions in the code repository. I might not be 100% clear: basically I want this: Data Source

In Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express Management Studio (July 2016) cannot design a new or existing table. Image 1: click on the tables node. Where is the menu option to add a new table?

I have a problem with this trigger. I would like it to update the requested information only to the row in question (the one I just updated) and not the entire table. CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[after_update] ON [dbo].[MYTABLE] AFTER UPDATE AS BEGIN UPDATE MYTABLE SET mytable.CHANGED_ON = GETDATE(), CHANGED_BY=USER_NAME(USER_ID()) How do I tell the trigger that this applies only to the row in question? Here is my example after a test CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].UpdateTasadoresName ON [dbo].Tasadores FOR UPDATE AS UPDATE Tasadores SET NombreCompleto = RTRIM( Tasadores.Nombre + ' ' + isnull(Tasadores

How can I create a SQL user in a SQL Server Express database that I added to my project? I need to create a user to use in a connection string that doesn't use Integrated Security. You would need to create a SQL Authenticated login first with CREATE LOGIN then add a user associated with that login to your database by using CREATE USER . USE [master] GO CREATE LOGIN [JohnEgbert] WITH PASSWORD=N'YourPassword', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[YourDB], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF GO USE [YourDB] GO CREATE USER [JohnEgbert] FOR LOGIN [JohnEgbert] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo] GO If you create a SQL login

I have a small project that will have 1 user on 1 computer. The database will be rather small (probably less than 1 mb of data). I plan to use WPF and Entity Framework for that project. I came up with 2 potential database solutions for my project : SQL Server CE and SQL Server Express LocalDB (with SQL Server 2012). I have never worked with any of those, I'm more used to work with the full SQL Server 2008 installation. I also want it to be easy to install on the client. Ideally I'd like to just throw a bunch of files on a folder (along with my .exe file). So anybody here could suggest me the

A colleague I work with recently told me that SQL Express and MS Access were essentially the same thing; that does not seem to be an accurate statement. I know you can convert Access to a SQL DB and maybe under the covers they are similar, but I would assume that the SQL DB engine and what is used to run access are not the same. Not only that, but the SQL statement syntax, etc. I know are not the same. I am mainly trying to understand so that I am more informed about the versions. mwolfe02 Um, no, not the same. First off, I need to clear up some terminology. MS Access is a Rapid Application
