SQL Express and MySQL are database servers. You have to use tools like SQL Server Management Studio Express to have any kind of gui similar to Access. MySQL has tools like MySQL Tools which help build databases, queries, etc. If you are looking for something like Access Forms, then you have to program a front-end in VB or C#.

Are you sure? Because I have a client who has 130,000+ records per table and about 50+ tables and he insists on Access.

I guessed as much, by the interface, just wanted to be sure i wasnt being stupid or anything. I'll look into SQL Server Management Studio Express, if not i will just use access. i have no problem with that. i use VB .net 2003. It should work fine with that.
the 500-1000 figure was given to me by a friend of mine. he may have ben referring to '97 office. I inteend to use 2000.

My client uses Access 2000/2003 so that could be the reason. I don't know about older versions of Access.
Good luck with SQL Server Management Studio.

SQL is a standardized declarative language for interacting with relational database systems. It literally stands for "Structured Query Language" and was originally developed by IBM in the 70's. As of 1987, it was standardized by ANSI and ISO, and has gone through a number of revisions since.
Typically a RDBMs will have a command-line interface of some sort (if not a full blown GUI) that accepts SQL commands. You can download one for Sql Express from Microsoft here[^]. I've heard MySQL's command-line interpreter is much better than its graphical tools, but I don't know that from my own experience.

If you like the GUI of Access but want the power of SQL use both.
You can link Access to SQL tables and have the best of both worlds...
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/kKellenberger/accesstosqlserverlinkingtables.asp[^]
You will need a GUI to create the original SQL table, search the web there are others apart from the standard offering or you can generate tables in code.
Have fun...

Access is an aplication.
SQL server (express) is an OLE database server. That means it is made to handle calls from other programs.
OLE = Object Linking and Embedding. A Microsoft technology which allows you to link elements from different applications within each other.

Hello,
I'm new to database programming. I'm currently reading Pro ADO.NET 2.0 from Apress. The book has been great so far, but when he get's to his first example, he supplies a script file to set up a simple data source. So, i have this .sql file that i don't know what to do with. when I double click it, it just opens in notepad. Yes, i'm a doofus. please help me! 
I'm running a local instance of sql server 2005 standard.
thanks!

Hi Ian. If you're running Sql Server 2005, you should have access to the Query Analyzer program, yes? Open the .sql file in Query Analyzer, then execute it (F5 will do it)
|
|
|
|
|
i can't find the query analyzer. I'm going to reinstall and give that a shot. Thanks!

SQL Server 2005 does not come with Query Analyser. That was a feature of SQL Server 2000.

 My mistake.

Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Connect to the SQL Server
In the tree on the left open the databases folder
Right click on the database you want to query and select New Query...
In the main pane you can now type SQL. You can execute the SQL by pressing F5 or using the Execute button.
Does this help?

The system already has a default instance of MSDE2000 installed. I would liket to upgrade this to a default instance of SQL server 2000. Is this possible without uninstalling the MSDE? The SQL installation asks me for an instance name and disables the default instance (since it already exists in MSDE)??

Hi,
Can I get previous and current values of row in trigger for update operation.

Use updated.colname

Thanks for the reply Alomgir.
Can you pls elaborate? I think updated.colname will give the value after the execution of query. How can I get the previous value, so that I can compare both.
Regards,
Shah Adarsh.

I got the answer . deleted table contains the old record and the inserted table contains the newer one for update operation trigger.

Hi there,
I am just trying to create an ENDPOINT to define a Web Service in Sql
server 2005. Here is my code
Create ENDPOINT AWService
STATE = STARTED
As HTTP

PATH = '/ADVENTUREWORKS',
AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED),
PORTS = (CLEAR),
SITE = 'DEVI\SQLDM2005'
)
FOR SOAP
(
WEBMETHOD 'GetProductList'
(NAME = 'AdventureWorks.Dbo.GetProductList'),
DATABASE = 'AdventureWorks',
WSDL = DEFAULT
)
and when i run this T-SQL its complaining about
Msg 7807, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
An error ('0x80070057') occurred while attempting to register the
endpoint 'AWService'.
I am trying this code to run on Windows XP pro and Sql Server 2005. Any

Hi,
I'm using update trigger for inserting a record in a table(say table2) when the value of certain column(Column2) is changed in table1. My code executes UPDATE query on table1 everytime when any column is updated.
My SP is something like
UPDATE table1 SET Column1 = @Column1, Column2 = @Column2
WHERE ID = @ID
I have checked the following condition in Trigger
IF UPDATE(Column2)
INSERT INTO table2...........
So even if Column1 is updated the INSERT query in trigger will be fired.
So the record is inserted into table2 everytime the update query is executed on table1, irrespective of which column has changed.
Regards,
Shah A

As far as I can see in you UPDATE statement, both Column1 and Column2 are updated, so Column2 is always updated. Even if you put back the same value in Column2, as far as SQL is concerned, it is updated.

Yes but how can I compare the previous and current values for Column2 in the trigger to know that it has changed.
Thanks for the reply Marilyn.
