I don't know if he meant .mdf file. I don't know why someone would want to connect a .dll to the database or server

You have to use the C interface that's built into the database manager you are using. In other words, it depends on what DBM you are interfacing to: Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, etc. They should provide a "C language developers kit" or some such thing, that will have the appropriate headers in it. It's not generic, although the SQL standard (the X-Open version anyway) has a few things to say about interfacing with C (and other programming languages also).

H everyone,
I installed Sql Server 2005 and it installed good but when I want to use of it,it shows this message
"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:Names Pipes Provider,error:40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
I get this error when I am tring to :
1- I go to on the Visual studio Data Menu then select Add new Data source then select Database and click Next button then I click New Connection and select Microsoft SQL Server now it want Server name I enter server name and then I went to Select or enter database name but It didnt show any thing to then
I select Attach a databse file and enter a file(its extenstion mdf) and when I click ok I got above error
Is it possible I am getting this error because I enter wrong server name if yes how can I find correct name of server.
Thanks

Did you install SQL Server on your local machine or on a seperate machine?
|
|

I installed on my local machine.

Then you don't need to enter the server name, you can just enter '.' (a full stop), that corresponds to the local server.
Note: if you installed SQL Server 2005 Express, then you should use '.\SQLExpress' as the server name.
If this doesn't work, check if the SQL Server service is running.

It sounds to me like you have installed the freely available version SQL Server Express 2005, not the full version of SQL Server, is that correct?
By default, unlike the full version of SQL Server, this does not come with SQL Server Management Studio, which is used to create databases and enter SQL queries.
You can either open a command prompt and type sqlcmd -S.\SQLExpress -E to get a command prompt from where you can enter SQL statements against your database.
Or, you can download the freely available SQL Server Management Studio Express, which gives you a graphical interface to do all this (recommended).
Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-94b8-5a0f62bf7796&DisplayLang=en[^]
Hope this helps,
Roel

Thank you yes it was help but I'm sorry to interrupt again I saw your link and I want to donwload "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express"
if I download it Can I sure that I will not problem to work with sql 2005(of course my intent is like previous ) ?
|
|
|
|

As far as I know, the only time it will not work is if you have the full version of SQL Server Management Studio installed already, which for you is not the case (otherwise you would not have to install this one.) So, just go ahead and try.

I guess so. Maybe the next step would be to buy a good book on database programming with Visual Studio?

SQL Server 2005 is fully backward compatible with SQL Server 2000, if that's what you mean, so whatever works on SQL Server 2000 will (in most cases) work fine on 2005. If you want to take advantage of some of the new 2005 features, do some research online or get a 2005 book.

This is probably an error caused by the service not being started.

Download the SQL Server Managment Studio.

My company is using a third party software designed by other private company. there is a point where there is data redundacny on our tables and it requires me to do the data cleaning. i thought it would be better to fix the incorrect field with the procedure with those filed require a common value. i decided to write a procedure to update those files where there is an mispelled of words. and i have to run that query everyday, i was wondering if the Trigger would help here, if maybe i put my Procedure inside the trigger and when ever a user enters wrong info , it can be triggered?
Help i dont know what option to do am using SQL 2005

Something to think about here. It is rarely a good idea to "fix" data from a trigger - how would you handle it? On an insert only - then what happens if the row is updated; ah, so you include the update. All of a sudden, you've got a cyclic reference, where the record is updated which fires the trigger.
Why not use a SSIS job to accomplish this? It could be run daily, and would take care of records that have been inserted/updated.

am not that broad am still learning but can understand much and know much ca you tell me what is "SSIS"?

SQL Server Integration Services. Effectively the replacement for DTS. Google SSIS examples[^] for some decent examples on how to use it.
