(Deleted User) Subject: Can't Connect to DB - SQL 2005 Express
Author: (Deleted User)

Stylus Studio 2007 Ent R2

I'm having a problem. My MS SQL Server 2005 Express is set up for Windows Authentication, and the instance name is the usual (XP120\SQLEXPRESS - where the machine name is XP120).
I normally logon the management studio with a username like XP120\logon_name.

(I see some threads here about using \\ - I'm not sure of that, either)

When I try to set up a new server (right-click on Relational DB), what I see is a choice of 5 database types, including Microsoft SQL Server.

I don't see SQL Native Client - which is required for SQL Server 2005, I believe.

I may be a bit dense here, but does this mean that I cannot connect to a SQL Server 2005 database (either Express or its big brothers)?

This was resolved with the use of a significantly different URL string, for Windows Authentication connection to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express -

//localhost\SQLEXPRESS;AuthenticationMethod=Type2

and for user-name - just a space (leaving the password blank).

I suspect that the
;AuthenticationMethod=Type2
can be used for SQL Server 2005 (other versions than Express) when Windows Authentication is used - rather than the Port 1433 that the URL defaults to.

I will be interested to know the correct connect string (URL) for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CE (Compact Edition).

SQLServer Express Edition installs by default as named instance called SQLExpress.

Stylus Studio can access SQLServer Express using either Windows Security

//localhost\SQLEXPRESS;AuthenticationMethod=Type2

or the database built-in security

//localhost\SQLEXPRESS


SQLServer Compact Edition is a SQL engine library designed to be embedded in desktop applications therefore it cannot be accessed by Stylus Studio or any other SQL clients.


Hope this helps
