Is the server exposed on the Internet? In such case be glad as long as
the connection attempts fails.

25 MSDE Connections

In the MSDE Edition of Sql Server 2000 there is a limit of 25 connections.
What is the definition of a "connection"? For example, if I create a
connection pool of 5 connections in an application, does that count as 5
against the 25?
-Thanks

there's not such a limit of "25 connection"... this magic number is just a
guess about the probably supported load of an MSDE instance.. and it fo
course is influenced by your architectural design, both within the db and
the app...
please have a look at

I didn't know there was a hard limit but the soft limit was actually 5.
Over 5 concurrent connections and it would start to throttle back your
performance. I don't know for sure but the license probably states a limit
of 5 concurrent connections. It was not intended to be used for that many
connections. That is what the standard edition is for. A connection is
anytime someone is connected to the server. If the pool has 5 open
connections then it is 5 connections.

MSDE is optimized for 5 connections or less so if you want 25
connections you should probably be considering Standard or Workgroup
edition.

25 Concurrent Connections

Hey,

MSDE 2000 allows 25 concurrent connections.

If these are all used up, and a 26th connection comes in. What happens? is the connection rejected? or does it sit in a queue, waiting to be given a connection?

Thanks,
-Ashleigh::Hey,

Hey

::MSDE 2000 allows 25 concurrent connections

Wrong.

MSDE allows more than 32000 concurrent connections, as any SQL Server.|||Bunch of info here

2008 Kids not playing well together?

I have Orcas (VisualStudio 2008) and Katmai (SQL Server 2008) installed on the same machine, but Orcas will not allow me to add a data connection to the Katmai database. It goes through the wizard and the connection tests okay, but then I get a message saying it doesn't support anything above SQL Server 2005.

Is there some sort of update for Orcas that will allow me to use my Katmai databases?

Thanks,
Todd
Did you try using an OLEDB connection ? I did not try that on my own, but it should be worth a try.

2005/2005Express SQLOLEDB Provider problem

When creating a connection string in ADO (using Delphi7), I insert the provider like this:

Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=sa;Password=masterkey

Now, when I try to run this on a SQL Server 2005 or SQL2005 Express database, it won't create the connection
unless I use the SQLNCLI provider.

Is there a way to force them to use the OLEDB provider?
I have MDAC2.8-SP1 installed.Try explicitly adding the server name

Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=<Server Name>;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=sa;Password=masterkey

2005 Reporting Services Connection Error...

I have had this error on three different machines that I have tried to setup
reporting services on:
- An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not
open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
And I have yet to find a solution posted that resolves it. Any advice - I
can't get past step 3 of my first tutorial.

2005 remote connection problem (yes, I have enabled TCP/IP)

I've gone through about 30+ google results looking for the magic answer to
this problem. I have a brand new machine with a brand new install of Sql
Server 2005 express. I am trying to connect via SQLCMD in a command window
with the following info: SQLCMD -S 192.168.1.103 -U **** -P ******!
the ip is my local machine and the machine that SS2005 Express is installed
on.
-U is a login that I created. I have set authentication to mixed mode

By default SqlExpress uses an instance name of SQLEXPRESS. Your connection
info would be correct for the default instance, not a named instance.

Sure enough, although I restarted SQL Server several times, apparently it
took a full reboot to make things operate correctly.

I've gone through about 30+ google results looking for the magic answer to
this problem. I have a brand new machine with a brand new install of Sql
Server 2005 express. I am trying to connect via SQLCMD in a command window
with the following info: SQLCMD -S 192.168.1.103 -U **** -P ******!
the ip is my local machine and the machine that SS2005 Express is installed
on.
-U is a login that I created. I have set authentication to mixed mode
Not sure what else to try. Anyone have any hints?

2005 Remote Connection Error

Hi,

Hope someone can help with this, having a huge problem connecting to SQL 2005 from a client machine. I get the following error:

"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)"

I have SQL 2005 installed on a server containing SQL 2000 (default instance) and then SQL 2005 as the instance SERVER\SQL2005. 2005 is running SP1. I'm connecting via windows authentication, using just using Management Studio. I've also configured the server to accept remote connections.

I can connect locally to the 2005 instance. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks

Jeremy

See my Screencast about Remote connections on my site which describes in detail how to enable remote connections.

HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer.

http://www.sqlserver2005.de|||

Thanks for the reply Jens,

I have definitely enable remote connections already. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

Jeremy

|||Can anyone help with this?|||

Sorry for not coming back earlier, lsot the focus on the post. DO you have SQL Server Browser started on the server ? SQL Browser will redirect the client request to connect to the assigned port without naming explictly the port of the SQL Server. If you don′t start the browser on the server, the client will try to connect to the port 1433 which might not be used by the named instance. If you know the port of the named instance, you can also specify that directly within the connection string using servername\instanceName,Portnumber.

HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer.
