I'm currently upgrading my sql server from 2005 to 2008 enterprise server. I used VB to connect to the database. It worked fine in the previous version of sql, but when upgrading it seems doesn't recognize my connection string.
Below is my connection string:
myConnection = New SqlConnection("server=RAVY-PCRAVY;uid=;pwd=;database=CIEDC"); myConnection.Open();
Where Ravy-PCRAVY is my server name at the sql server login dialogue box. And I used the windows authentication mode.
First off, my apologies for being a complete Newb! I have a SQL Express database that I use quite successfully to track my investments in several accounts. I built it myself, it's quite functional, and Im happy with it. The problem is that there are multiple account tables and updating them can be tedious in SQL Server, if multiple purchases and sales in multiple accounts have occurred in a month. Tedium can lead to errors¦
I'm developing a online document management application for my client using the following technologies
Front End - VB.Net 2010 (Windows Forms) Back End - SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (FILESTREAM enabled to level 3)
I wanted to store the files (*.pdf, *.doc, *.exe, .) using the FILESTREAM feature in SQL Server 2008 R2.I prefer FILESTREAM because sometimes the file size exceeds 2GB.I'm able to save and retrieve file with FILESTREAM (using Windows Authentication/Integrated Security).But my client wants to save or retrieve the file from different PC.So I'm in need of accessing the FILESTREAM BLOB from remote systems.
I'm trying to connect from VB 2008 Express Edition to a database in an instance of SQL Server 2008. Both, VB and SQL Server are running on the same machine. From a VB project, when I try to define a new Data Connection I find just three Data sources available: [Code] I selected the last one but when I browse for the mdf file I cannot select it because it tells me that the file is in USE. I have stopped all the services but still I'm not able to link the database file.
Two questions: 1. Is there a way to connect to the SQL Server Instance and from there to select the desired database? 2. How to connect using the Database file.

I am using VB 2008 express and SQL Server 2008 express on a test basis and I used to connect VB express to a SQL database (created in SQL Server 2008 Express management studio) file and it work perfectly until my hard drive packed up and I had to get a new one, so I had to reinstall both of these again and copied my old databases from a backup I had. Now when I try to connect to the database file it cannot connect. Network related error or the instance name is incorrect. When I look at the advanced options in the connect dialog it shows my instance as .SQLExpress and my correct instance name is .SQL2008Express. I clicked OK on the connect dialog and manually changed my connection string to the correct instance and that worked but whenever I run the application in debug mode it give me the same error as above.
How can I write a connection string? I has four different computer that can be connect via ethernet.How can I maintain a inserting data if to computer insert on same table at a single time..??

how to start to create a database in SQL server with Vb express 2008.
I have this code, to read image (saved as varbinary(max) in database):
Private Sub ReadImage() Dim connection As New SqlConnection(strConnectionString) Dim command As New SqlCommand("SELECT [Image] FROM z1 WHERE x=1 AND y=1", connection)
[code]....
But it isn't very convenient code. It reads bytes from table, save them to file, and finally open file as image.How can I read it directly to image, without saving as file?
