Using SQL Server 2005 Express.
I want to create and maintain the SQL database and tables from within a VB6 application. First I need to create an empty database file. This I can't do.
Using
Set mcn = New ADODB.Connectio n
mcn.Open mstrConnectStri ng
I have tried various connection strings -
mstrConnectStri ng="server=(loc al)\SQLEXPRESS; " & "integrated security=sspi;d atabase=;"
mstrConnectStri ng="Data Source=.\SQLEXP RESS;AttachDbFi lename=" & "xxx.mdf" & ";Integrate d Security=True;C onnect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
4  9228 
Connection string is used to used to connect to an existing database not to create a new one.
First, you need to have Administrative Rights to the database engine ("SA"). This includes read, write, create, delete. Then, you do not connect to any particular database but if you must connect to a database then connect to the MASTER database. Then you will need to execute a CREATE DATABASE statement, followed by CREATE TABLE statements... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176061.aspx
Use the pane on the left to navigate to the CREATE TABLE statement, and you may want to look at the CREATE INDEX and CREATE PROCEDURE if you are wanting to create stored procedures.
So, you process would go like this...
Connect to MASTER
CREATE DATABASE
USE DATABASE_NAME 'to switch to the database you just created
CREATE TABLE
CREATE INDEX
CREATE PROCEDURE
then if you are wanting to insert data into the database, use the INSERT STATEMENT or if you have created a stored procedure us it...
Good Luck
My problem is to get connected so I can create my SS db from the VB6 application.
The answer I needed was how to connect so I could run the SQL create DB.
Your answer is Database=Master ;
The rest is -
ConnectionStrin g = "Provider=SQLNC LI;Server=YourS erverName;Datab ase=Master;Inte grated Security=SSPI;"
Many thanks
Yes, just be careful to not make any changes to the MASTER database because if you do, you could ruin the entire installation or DBMS...
Good Luck

I'm creating a application that should handle contacts, orders etc.
I want to distribute only the exe file and let the application take
care of creating and changing the database that is to be used.
Furthermore, I would also like to make it possible for the user to
select which sort of database to create and use, MSSQL, Oracel, Access
etc.
Is this possible? Or do I have distribute a databas file as well? My
first idea was to use OLEDB...

Hi,
I write an ASP,NET application who uses SQL Server (MSDE) as Back-end
I'm an experienced developer, but haven't used SQL server before and I need
some help.
Since I don't have full SQL server (but only MSDE), I don't have Enterprise
manager.
So I used Access XP (using an ADP file) to create the database on MSDE
server (tables, views, stored procs etc)

My program has to access an SQL Server DB file that is in the same folder as

own computer, the program would access any sql server db file without it

run.
All systems have SQL Server Express and SQL Server 2005 installed.
Can someone please direct me through the steps to fix this problem?

I want to create a database with one table on the host.
I can't user SQL Server Management Studio to do it so I guess I have to do
it programmatically.
I have in mind that in the session start (or maybe application start would
be better) I'd check to see it the database exists and if not create it.
The problem is that I have no idea how to do that.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
