hi,

SQLExpress setup boostrapper accept "parameters" to define the "final" settings of the installed instance at install time..

the parameter you are looking for is SECURITYMODE=SQL to enable standard SQL Server authenticated connections..

please have a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx for all supported parameters..

Thank for sujession, but still it is not work.
i have entered following line for change SQL Server Security Mode Windows Auth. To SQL Auth.

Start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=pwd12345

i have also tried this :

Start /wait setup.exe /qb UPGRADE=Client_Components INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=pwd12345

but still it is not work. i got the same error when i run my program "Login fail for user sa. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

hi,

the exception is correctly related to not enabled SQL Server authenticated connections..

but the SECURITYMODE=SQL parameter is there for the case, and it "must" work as expected, as it really does since MSDE 2000 installer...

please pardon me, but are you sure you are later connecting to the correct SQLExpress instance?

Yes i connecting to correct SQLExpress instance.

but don't warry, it's solve now bcoz i directly change parameter in package.xml(Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\SqlExpress\en) file.

Hotfix for article 831997

How can I obtain the Hotfix noted in Article 831997.
After I applied 8.00.0859, I am now getting the
error "Invalid Cursor State" when in design mode of the
Enterprise Manager.
Thanks!
Did you actually need to apply 8.00.859? I've found that in most cases
people applied this hotfix merely because it was available to the general
public. The reason hotfixes aren't announced and made more readily
accessible is because they aren't fully regression tested, and aren't immune
to issues like this one.
In any case, you can get 878 from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838166
...
Also, see http://www.aspfaq.com/2515 ... if you stop using Enterprise
Manager for data/schema manipulation, amazingly, the invalid cursor state
error goes away.

Hot backup in SIMPLE mode

We have a SQL Server 7.0 database running with trunc. log on chkpt and
select into/bulkcopy checked and need to develop a backup strategy.

One of our DBAs insists that since the transaction log is being
truncated, we can't do a hot backup (a FULL backup in multiuser mode)
because if a transaction comes through during the backup it will leave
the backup in an inconsistent state. I'm skeptical, but I don't know
how SQL Server 7 avoids this problem.

If SQL 7 is not truncating the transaction log, it uses the
transaction log to roll forward changes that occurred during the
backup. Obviously if it's truncating the log it must have some way to
apply these transactions anyway (such as not doing a checkpoint during
the backup, backing up the log at each checkpoint, etc.).

Can anyone confirm that a hot backup will be valid when trunc. log on
chkpt is checked? Does anyone know how SQL 7 accomplishes this?

Thanks!

This is not correct - a full backup (BACKUP DATABASE ...) is always
consistent, and database settings will not affect that.

SQL Server records the log sequence number (LSN) when the backup
starts, then again when it ends, and uses the LSNs to include part of
the log in the backup set. That part of the log can then be applied
when the backup is restored, to ensure the data is consistent.

All backups in SQL Server are 'hot', in the sense that you never need
to take the database offline, stop the MSSQL service etc.

I don't have SQL7 BOL, but according to SQL2000 BOL "The exception is that
the log is not truncated if the checkpoint occurs when a BACKUP statement is
still active." This is in the section called "Truncating the Transaction
Log". I would guess if you check the equivalent section in SQL7 BOL you'll
find the same statement.

Simon|||Perfect! The relevant section, as shown below, suggests that the database will come out of log truncation mode for the duration of the backup:

From SQL Server 7.0 Books Online:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...n-US/SQLBOL.exe

"The trunc. log on chkpt. database option must be set to TRUE for a database to be eligible for log truncate mode. Whether the database is actually in log truncate mode also depends on the state of the database:

- The database comes out of log truncate mode when a BACKUP DATABASE statement is executed. This is because a BACKUP DATABASE statement is the starting point of a log backup sequence.

Thanks Simon!
